A Prayer of Thanks

Reprinted By Request
Dear God ...-
A Race, on Bonded knee,
Brown arms stretched heavenward
Eyes blinded by their secret tears,
unshed,
Sobs out it's thanks to Thee.
The sod,
On which they humbly kneel,
More oft has felt their tread
Light moving, swift, as though a
happy heart
Lifted each heel.
Father,
They do but act a role
Gay clowns on life's highway.
Their jests and mimicry in public
place
Do oft conceal a soul.
Father,
So bruised and torn, thru years
Of daily blow on blow,
1t fain would creep in secret place
to hide
Its venial tears.
My Lord
Their wrongs pass all belief,
Their manhood crucified
Each day; their bodies slain. All
Christ!
You knew such grief.
A hoard
Of ills are theirs, thru foes
That multiply with years.
But no-another time, another day
They'll speak these woes.
Omnipotence-
This day they do not pray
For rights denied, or acts
By laws, long promised them, to
right these wrongs.
(Forgive our faltering tongue)
Remembrance
Of other days: a nations waif
From field and cabin cried;
And not in vain. That memory they
retain
Thank God for Faith.

Choir Renders
Handles Messiah
In Fine Fashion

One of the musical treats of the
season was the st. Peter Church
Choir's presentation of Handles
Messiah on New Years Eve Day,
December 81, at the church.
A crowd, reduced somewhat by
a funeral of a prominent minister,
almost filled the first floor of the
auditorium.
The choir which has, under the
leadership of Alyce Stewart, gained
in numbers, appearance and choral
excellence, did a remarkable job in
the singing Of the difficult musical
arrangement.
The presentation was most pleas
ing both musically and pictorially
and gives evidence that the St.
Peter choir is just about, or will
soon be, second to none in this area.

Churches and
Financial Reports

. Members of st. Peter church of
Minneapolis received in the mail
last Friday letter and a mimeo-
graphed report of the church's
financial income with receipts and
disbursements and balances.
In most business institutions or
any group handling sums of money
this report is nothing unusual, but
among churches such report is al
most unheard of.
Most churches have annual re-
ports, a few semi-annual state
fnents but none in the Twin Cities
among our group that we have
heard of except St. Peter has of
fered it's members a monthly finan-
cfaf statement.
Such reports and an operating
budget as has been innaugurated
by this pr ocular church should
make its members very proud of
the manner in which it's business
affairs are being conducted.
People like to know and they
have a right to know where and
how their contributions are being
spent. When they are shown
periodically in black and white
they will feel better anu coopera-
ton should be much greater.
Such systems also tend to con-
found those who do not contribute
and offer as their usual excuse the
insinuation that calls not we'll with
the money" a stock excuse which
many who can afford to contribute
literally to church, work and fail
to do so use as smoke-screen.

HAILE'S PROPHECY

In 1885, Emperor Halle Salassie
of Ethiopia said, when his land was
invaded by hordes of Italian troops,
that if aggressions against Eth
opia, a small nation, were not
stopped by the so-called democra-
cies, that it would mark the be-
ginning of similar aggressions
against other small powers in Eu-
rope and elsewhere. In less than
four years the truth of the proph-
esq of the Lion of Judah has come
true with vengeance.-New York
Amsterdam News.
, Wise advice: Be strict on your
self but easy on the other fellow.
Ignorance and superstition put
the "rut" in truth.
Head work is great deal harder
than hand work-that's why we
have so little of it.
Almost anybody will support
anything that gives him a salary.
Mistakes will occur. Even news
papers make them. Very often they.
pay cash for them. -.

in its weekly bulletin contributions
but in its new system of monthly
reports both contributions and all
expenditures are shown.
The Negro church is the races
biggest business many say. If this
is so its customers have a right to
regular financial reports and when
they do get them they should be
appreciative.

other congregations might emulate
to their vast profit.

By Hobart T. Mitchell

A large part Of the wealth of
the United States has been built
up through the flour milling indus
try of the Northwest, Minnesota
in particular. Fabulous fortunes
have been accumulated; famous
names have been made; great mills
have been erected; all through the

that no ships should leave the
country, bound for the New World,
that did not carry in it's cargo, rice,

because such commodities were

In my last column, we planned
the dress and makeup for you
younger girls who are going to your
first big party this Christmas. Now
we1l go into the actual preparations
for the big event. Be sure to take
a brief nap before you dress to
make your eyes brighter and your
spirits higher. Even if you can't
sleep, lie still and rest for a half
hour at least. Take your bath be-
fore or after your nap, depending on
whether you find warm bath con-
ducive to sleep or not.
Do Not Apply Makeup In Public
Be sure to cleanse your face thor
oughly before applying your. make
up. A light application Of founda-
ton cream will give your face
smoother appearance and make the
makeup go on more evenly and
stay on longer. And this last is
a great asset since there is nothing
that detractS more from girls
charm than constant applications of
makeup. Get it on we'll at home
and then forget about it until you
can excuse yourself and retOuch it
in private. Men like to see women
carefully made up but watching the
process Is an unglamOrOus exper-
fence. If you chose cosmetics made
for your type Of skin, you will have
little such difficulties. 81.

Poetic Thoughts

by MOTIFS OlDDS, 81.
The Winner
winner is hero in any land
He opens doors never before at his command,
Everyone loves to shake his hand,
And say they knew he'd turn out grand.
We all try to be winners in every contest,
But the Negro has to try and always be best,
And he must consistently hold first place
To win coveted honors for himself and race.
Some successful people famous because of money
Have money to spend and every day is sunny.
Crowds follow them everywhere and they are known,
For certain people always ready to seek loan.
Hero worship will be shown forever it seems,
Because it excites autograph seekers with dreams,
Who some day wish the same may be done, M
When they're the public's idol and have fun.
The winner takes all, is familiar call;
To be winner you haven't time to stall.
Prepare thoroughly for competition is tough, ,
Play to win and success will meet no rebuff.
The Negro has to be superior for recognition,
Get first place in all competition.
A runner-up among means nothing for fame,
AS only the winner is recognized in life's game.
Endeavor to be the best, it's an important role.
Let US have our first goal
The First Commandment and now realize,
That there's no prejudice in Gods eyes.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1940-01-05

viOusly made" conversation has a
sitting effect on any natural talk.
1t is better to relax in comfortable
silence than to prattle nervOusly
about nothing in particular. Nerv-
GUS, jerky conversation is a dead
give away. Act perfectly at ease
and the first thing you know you
will be.
And when other people start go
ing home, don't act as though this is
the first time you have ever been
out and you are afraid it may be
the last. Remember, your young
man may have to get up early the
next morning and go to work. Show
him a little consideration by leaving
at a reasonable hour. The chances
of his calling you again will be much
better if he isn't afraid that every
time he takes you out, he will be
kept up half the night.
Bear in mind that naturalness Is
the keynote of charm-be natural
in your. actions, your conversation,
and your makeup and your evening
Is bound to be success.
