Roland Hayes
In Concert
By Estyr l.. Bradley

After an absence of six years.
Roland Hayes, renowned world
famous tenor, appeared Sunday af-
ternoon at the Lyceum Theater in
Minneapolis in recital drawn half
from the classics and half from the
music of our race.
The spirituals sung were for the
most part arranged by Mr.. Hayes
himself. They included DRY
Bones" taken from the book of
Ezekiel. Hear the Lambs" "Steal
Away" and You're Tired Chile"
For spiritual encores, he used
"Plenty Good Room" Ezekiel Saw
de Wheel" and "Were You There"
the latter as finale and unaccom-
panied.
Exotic and stirring was "Xango,"
Brazilian African "fetiche chant"
of Makumbo, harmonized by Villa
Lobos. 1t was expertly played by
Mr.. Hayes accompanist, Reginald
Boardman, "Michieu Baingo,"
Louisiana Creole folksong, ar
ranged by Camille Nickerson, and
"Roun' bout de Mountain" Ten
nessee mountain folksong ar
ranged by TIE late Percival Par
har1, formerly Mr.. Hayes accom-
parist, added a dash of colorful
rhythm to the concert.
A delighted audience that re-
fused to lessen its applause was
delighted with the Italian group
and especially with "Maledetto STA
PAspetto" from Scherzi Musicali
by Monteverdi which number Mr..
Hayes had to repeat. Another fine
Italian air sung by the artist was
"Lungi da TIE Ben Milo" by Bonon-
cini. This group was completed
with Heart Ever Faithful" by
Bach and the "Arioso" from Alex
ander's Feast by Handel.
The beautiful ballad of the
Christ Child, "The Stars Looked
Down." was very appealing and had
an expert accompaniment by Reg
inali Boardman. In this group was
an Italian lullaby by Schubert,
"Der juggling an der Quelle" and
CD Bist Die Rub" also by Schu.

Says st. Peter
Ia Years Behind
st. James Church
St. Paul, MINI,
Jan. 8, 1910.

JAN o. l0NO.
Editor: In the last issue of the
paper you call attention editorial
ly to the financial statements of St.
Peters church, closing the same
with these words, "St. Peters is
leading the way to confidence and
security, and other congregations
might emulate to their vast profit"
Be advised that st. Peter is just
IA years behind St. James in this
recognition of duty and conf dence
to its members.
When l became treasurer of our
church in February, 1925, l at
once adopted the system of setting
up a monthly report of all bills I'M
paid. both old and new. Some l
still have and refer to when some
thing comes up.
The same is true of the annual
reports. Ny annual report was
printed each year, in our church
bulletin, and passed out to the con-
gregation on Sunday morning. Rev.
Stewart will verify the statement
that l also set up and he mimeo-
graphed copies of the church budg-
ct which we used in our every
member drive. And we attempted
to carry out same best we could in
conducting our church affairs. This
budget was revised to try to meet
conditions under Rev. w. E. Geug.
Same was done when Rev. G. L.
Hoyden came.
am now chairman of our build
ing fund committee. Copy of my
annual report is enclosed.
Glad to know st. Peter is moving
forward.

Poetic Thoughts
By Morris Gibbs. Sr.
Love

We hear many versions defining love,
Everyone knows Divine Love comes from above,
Being spiritual it is infalibe and true,
Ever available matter what do.
Human love is a sensation hard to describe,
Many ideas given, some hard to imbibe
Mother love acknowledged the greatest on earth.
AS shown in many ways from our birth.
Human love has innumerable and devious ways,
Which is demonstrated in surprise by-plays
For love has rule with which to work,
Ever available it has time to shirk
When two people who have often met
Desire to forge their lives and forget
All others and become
That's when loves test has begun.
Love should never be taken for granted
For tasks done, let there be planted
The seeds of tender consideration.
For those contact and have close relation.
Don't be discouraged if crossed in love,
Say you don't need any turtle dove,
Can live for yourself, mother and child
Men haven't chance is putting it mild
Those without love are like a ship sea,
They rudderless, naturally in a quandry
Whether to marry to overcome lonely hours.
Is their problem-meanwhie their soul slowly devoured
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1940-01-12

Editors Note: In praising the financial
system installed by the subject of last
weeks editorial it was our aim TO call at
tention to a worth while, progressive trend
in church administration. What Mr..
Brooks saws about st. James is undoubtedly
true, but St. Peter church is still the first
congregation which we know of that has
mailed to each of its regularly contributing
members a financial statement showing
both receipts and disbursements of all
moneys collected, pastors salary, etc. If
there are others we will be glad to extend
to them the publicity encouragement
which modern church administration should
have. It is gratifying to learn from a re
port sent US that St. James church has
a balance in its building fund of $2.467 SO.
Members of st. Peter will probably dis
agree with Mr.. Brooks suggestion that
est. Peter is just Ia years behind St.
lanes"

ment Workers Union has decided

Uncle Bliss
The writer wishes to introduce
to the reader friend of his, whom
we shall call Uncle Bliss. Uncle
Bliss is the type of man who has
to be coaxed into talking. One
is first attracted to him by his COM
ical appearance and not too intel
ligent look on his face. If you can
get him to talk, he usually says
something that will cause you to
laugh, think, or regret that you
tried to be smart. Uncle Bliss les
sons for the most part are mega
tive. In short, if one were to read
his life, it might aptly be entitled
"The Autobiography of a Failure"
Yet the life of failure should be
of interest, for the factors and cir
cumstances which led to failure
for one individual, may, if avoided,
lead to the success of another.
Beginning at the most obvious
point, spoke regarding his birth
and color. What part has being
born black played in your failure ?"
He thought for a moment and
replied. Being born black was not
my greatest handicap. 1t is true
that / lost a few jobs, and was lin
tied to a small extent in my voca-
tional choice, and it caused me
some embarrassment because of
the attitude of white fellow citi-
zens, but my greatest handicap was
l attributed too many of
my own shortcomings to the fact
that l was Negro. AS an exam
pie, when dealing with people no,
of my race, if things did not go my
way, attributed it to the fact that
was Negro and they were preju-
diced. When dealing with people
of my race, if things did not favor
me l attributed it to the fact that
Negroes were not cooperative.
know now that / was at fault.
was licked before l began. My ra-
cial attitude colored my whole out
look on life. If were to start life
anew l would leave the Importance
of color to the artist and painters,
l would break every mirror in the
walls of my mind that reflected my
color; and yet 1 would know my
racial identity, for there would still
remain enough people who would
keep me assured of the fact that
