Poetic Thoughts

Easter

Another beautiful Easter morn appears
To revere Christ's memory and still false fears,
Prove men are equal and brothers, too,
Even though their skin is not the same hue.
This day our hearts are filled with joy,
Because Virgin Mary gave the world boy,
She was honored in this holy choice,
And womanhood is blessed so mankind may rejoice
Church bells peal out joyful songs,
Church pews are filed with happy throngs,
To pay homage to Gods Son who is risen,
Who freed the captive and prophets from prison.
History repeats itself even today,
Great men have been born of clay,
Parents who were Godlike and true,
Produced leaders when a crisis was due.
Let US never doubt Gods word
But be ever obedient and stirred
By Christs resurrection, which for all time,
Proved life eternal and Love divine.
Christ's mission fulfilled, His example stands
Unchanged he is ready with outstretched hands,
To welcome in His holy fold,
To guide and protect before we get old

By w. NJ. SMITH

cation of the National Negro Con-
gress in Chicago, few years back,
l wrote an enthusiastic account of
the gathering and of it's possibili-
ties.
have been disappointed, as have
many others, for the lack of per-
formance of the Congress and the
lack of support it. has been able to
develop, especially here in the
Northwest.
One of the reasons for this is the
lukewarm support offered by the
ministers of the country, who
seem to have assumed that as the
Congress was not organized by
them it could not possibly be sue
cessful. Their GOODNESS toward the
effort was very much in evidence
at the convention.
The convention, therefore, was
thrown into a frenzy of excitement
when young Clayton Powell, pastor
of the Abyssinian Baptist Church
of New York City, took the floor
and instead of endorsing this view
point, took the ministers severely
to task, assailed their lack of CO.
operation, their selfishness and de-
clared they should get down with
the man in the street and help him
to realize something of heavens
graciousness and satisfactions here
on this earth.
In writing of the incident 1 ex-
pressed the fear that Rev. Powell
would have to answer to his church,
one of the most important in the
country, for his Incorporate and
imprisoned arraignment of his
fellow minist&rs, even though his
words were applauded to the echo
by delegates to the Congress.
Now comes the aftermath in a
letter from the Rev. Powell which
shows conclusively that his church
did not reprimand him for his bold
and courageous stand. Instead it
has developed in line with his
thought. In addition to remaining
among the outstanding Negro
churches of the country it has add
ed many features deigned to help
the man in the street and has be-
come an effective community asset.

associations, boys clubs, camp

Industrial School in Liberia, Afri-

Because of the opening of the
Worlds Fair in New York, and
knowing that Negro citizens COM
ing to the Fair will need many
services not provided by any other
agency, the church is offering its
facilities in a large number of in
stances of great value.

Powell's letter in full:

We're glad to see more interest
being taken in local elections. Many
townsfolk went to the irrigation dis
trict elections Tuesday to express
their choice for directors. This, OF
course, they have perfect right to
do, as none but property owners
can vote anyway. There has been
some criticism in the past by farm
operators against this practice, but
it must be remembered that the
townspeople are just as vitality in
terested in the welfare of the 1rrl-
CATION districts as are the actual
water users. Their investments de-
pend absolutely upon the prosperity
of the surrounding agricultural dis
tricts, and this interest is generally
being acknowledged. Under our
system of government it is a duty
to vote and a good citizen will pass
up no opportunity to cast a ballot.
The business section of town is
a monument to the faith of the
towns builders. If the business Sec
ton is shabby and badly run down
it indicates that the town builders
have little faith in the future of the
town. If the business section of the
town shows collection of modern
fronts and modern store and office
buildings it indicates a faith on the
part of the town builders that the
town has a future. ( ."

Senator Schwellenbach comes out
with the statement that our 4O-mill
tax levy is wrong-the limit is too
low. He says it should be As, SO or SIS
mills at least. In this statement he
is absolutely correct. There isn't
enough revenue being produced to
do all the things which are being
demanded of government on the 40
mill tax. Probably even the SIS
mills the senator mentions isn't half
enough. However, the people have
declared three times by overwhelm-
ing majorities that 40 mills is all
they want or will stand for on their
property. There is only one other
answer-it will be necessary to cut
out some of the things demanded of
government.

TO BE SURE

You can't help but notice how
well-oiled is the machinery. The
old family differences don't seem to
arise as frequently these weeks. Du-
ties are accomplished without much
fuss. Short answers and pouting is
very infrequent. Studies are under
taken with vigor and clothes hung
UP without a great to-do. The
general air is one of unusual &C.
cord and harmony. In fact, it is al
most too good to last and it won't
after the 25th in most homes! As
we recall, we used to brush ou1
teeth extra hard, give ears a thor
ough cleaning, hands and elbows a
harder scrubbing, when Christmas
was in the offing. And after all
nothing essential to the real spirit
of Christmas has changed with the
years. We are the same and so are
the children.

Farm organizations are protest
ing the Hull trade pacts with South
American countries on the ground
that the shipment of South Ameri-
can food products to the United
States takes from the American
farmer his market. On the other
hand the South American coun-
tries say that unless they can sell
their agricultural products to this
country they will not buy American
manufactured products but will buy
them from nations who will pur-
chase their food stuffs. It so hap
pens that England, France and Ger
many stand ready to do this since
none of these nations produce
enough food stuffs for her people
If the South American trade is sur
rendered to Europe as 1t will have
to be unless reciprocal trade rela-
lions can be established, the Euro
pean market will be lost to the
farmers of the United States and
the market for agricultural products
produced in this country will be
limited to what this country will
consume. The whole problem re-
solves itself into ''you trade with
me and I'll trade with YOU policy.
It is a complicated one and permits
Of no simple solution. The thing
that will have to be decided Is
whether this country desires to as
sumo a position of complete isola-
ton in the matter of world trade,
or be willing to meet the situation
