The righteous shall flourish like
the Palm tree: he shall grow like
cedar in Lebanon. Psalms 92:l2.
David make mention of two distinct
features of the righteous, he shall
flourish and grow. He mentions his
likeness as a Palm tree because it is
tree that has always stool out from
other trees, and in past centuries was
a characteristic of Palestine, peculiar
IN the erect mode of its growth, al

Christian should shew forth sign of
Righteousness at all times; a mark
that the world may know that we aret

were used on occasions of rejoicing.

ANTI-LYNCHING BILL FIGHT
TO BE CONTINUED
WASHINGTON, Feb. (CNA)-

Supporters of the Wagner Van Nuys
anti-lynching bill warned the South
ern filibusters and their Northern Re-
publican allies this week that their vic
tory was temporary and that the fight
to wipe out lynching would be con-
tinued.
Undismayed by the shelving of the
bill in the Senate to consider the
emergency relief appropriation, Wal
ter White, Secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, who has led the CAM
paign for the bill, said: "The fight is
not ended nor ever will be ended un-
til lynching and all that it connotes is
wiped out"
Senator Robert F. Wagner, co-spon-
sor of the bill, declared that the issue
would now be taken to the people of
the United States. In fighting speech
on the floor of the Senate, Wagner
warned that he intends to reintroduce
the bill later in the session.
Il want to say to any Senator who
is opposed to the bill that the fight
will go on. | expect that some OF US
will speak to the country on this meas
ure so that perhaps some Senators will
be persuaded to impose cloture SO that
the measure will come to a vote"
Neither Wagner nor White opposed
the shelving of the bill at this time so
that the deficiency WPA appropria-
ton could be passed. They proposed,
however, that consideration of the bill
be postponed until March 28 instead of
being set aside completely as the Sen
ate did by vote of So to p.
"The side-tracking of the anti-lynch-
ing bill is, of course, bitter dose for
all those North and South, and of all
races, who have worked SO long for
this measure and its passage" White
declared.
"But the emergency nature of the
relief bill gave no other alternative.
Both measures, relief and anti-lynch
ing, were aimed at the alleviation of
human suffering.
Taking an indirect slap at the Re
publicans who have professed friend
ship for the bill. but have twice re-.
