SIMPSON TURNER, Speaker
GOOD NEWS

'OCD y T. w =
Youth is advised daily bv his advi-
sors, disturbed continuously bv his
mind, and tormented by his conscience
Whenever he attempts to walk the
road Of the unrighteous. He deafens
his ears to the advice of Solomon "To
live righteous in order to avoid the
pitfalls and destruction that awaits
the unrighteous." He mocks the threat
of the Gospel, "The soul that sinneth
It shall die" and he doubts the word of
God, Whatsoever a man soweth the
same shall he also reap"
He cares not of the advising, teach
no, pleading, and guiding of the ways
Of righteous living as he seeks not
advice, being contented in the pleasures
OF SIN. He knows Of laws and penal
ties, he trembles at example after ex-
ample and is fully aware Of the dan
GERS OF sin and with his eyes wide open
he walks deliberately into destruction.
ILls weaknesses overpowering his
reasoning, his love for sin stronger
than his determination to righteous
living he comes to the end of his row
too late and finds himself at the mercy
Of the law, standing before the Judge
ment Of God. He no longer seeks
advice but seeks for good news.
BE thou forgiven, go and sin no
more for | have paid the price for
thee, | have counted the cost and |
have come to bring unto You good
news The news that the guilty is
forgiven, that the murderer will not
have to die, that the sinner can be
redeemed, that the gates of He'll are
closed to those that obtain forgiveness
and accept the price paid by their
Saviour Is good news upon which the
Gospel is built
The news that the soul that sinneth
must not continue in sin, the news that
the fallen can rise, the outcast can be
restored, the Sinner can repent and the
mrighteous can be redeemed is good
news.
Go forth, thou guilty one, and sin
no more, take up this cross and walk
this road that leads from earth to
glory on which You can mingle with
that Host that has washed their robes
IN the blood Of the Lamb and made
them white as snow.

NEED ANTI-LYNCH BILL
TO CURB MOBS

Atlanta. GA; DR.. Ralph Bunche, pro
fessor of political science Howard Uni
versity; Arthur B. Spingarn, president
of the N.A.A.C.P.; and Walter White,
secretary of the NAA.C.P.
In his testimony Walter White
dealt in detail with the arguments made
against the bill, especially in the
House debates in January and refuted
them. He asserted that lynchings had
declined because of the agitation for a
federal law and that failure to pass
the pending bill would send the lynch
ING total up again. He cited num-
ber of undercover lynchings and as
serted that the real total was far
Greater than the five reported for last
wear by the N.A.A.C.P.
Turning to the statements made IN
the Senate during the filibuster of 1888
that the states could and would take
care of lvnchings, Mr.. White pointed
ont that eleven well-authenticated
Ivnchings had taken place since that
time and not even an arrest had been
made in ten of them, with convictions
in none. The N.A.A.C.P. secretary
warned that the American form OF
Government was endangered when

were fighting in France "for demo-

greeted them upon their return home.
He warned that they could not be
expected to fight in any war which
might develop out of present world
conditions without some guarantee
that they will receive some protection
and democracy for themselves.
Dean Hastie dealt with the consti-
tutlonal aspects of the legislation.

America in the rest of the world and

ST. 14alRntttte Il Day

According to the legend, st. Valen-
tine was beheaded on February IA at
Rome under the reign of Claudius, the
Conqueror. The ancient tale read that
birds began to answer the mating urge
on that day Hence, arose the exist
ing custom Of young persons of Oppo-
site sexes choosing each other on that
day and calling each other-'My Val
entine." The choice was made by a
sort of lottery including the sending of
ardent love messages under non de
plume signatures with just enough
Identification to insure the making Of
no errors in correct mating.
Now, this is the story told by the en-
cyclopedia but poets and poetry accent
the love theme more resonantly. Many
and varied are the poems dedicated to
st. Valentine. More than one now
over-stout housewife remembers the
debt she owes to lacy valentine sent
by her spouse during the days when
each was of the slender, willowy per
suasion. The days Of sending anony-
nous valentines have declined in the
present stormy era but the delightful
spirit of love in bloom still remains as
expressed by a few of the exquisite
bits contained in this article-Such as,
A SONG
By William Stanley Braithaoaite
When mortals tread the trail Of stars,
High is the heart o, high;
For all things else are Of the earth
But love is of the sky.
The trail they tread is path of dreams
Where love a.ioulneying goes
To a garden beyond the gates Of night
Where blooms a flower Love knows.
ANOTHER SONG
By the same
Failure is crown of sorrow,
Success a crown Of fears,-
From the Book of Life we borrow
Leaves to turn the years.
Art is but JOY divine,
God says yea or nea
Love alone is worth the time,
Live it as we may.
TO A HUSBAND
From Scrapbook
With YOU this world is a glad old place
And Valentines great old day
With YOU life's road is grand old
road
And ever a sunlit way.
So here is a wish for your own dear
self
With Love that is deep and true!
God bless you, dear, may this fine old
world
Be ever kind old world to you!
TO A WIFE
From old clippings
From a husband who hollers
And grumbles a lot
But knows in his heart
That you're all he has got
Gets cross and contrary
Has too much to say
But loves you lot
