Into His Handsi

When in your hard fight, in your
tiresome drudgery. or in your ter
rible temptation you catch the pur.
pose Of your being and give yourself
to God, and so give Him the chance
to give Himself to you, your life,
living stone, is taken up and set
into the growing wall Wher-
ever souls are being tried and rip
ened, in whatever commonplace and
homely ways, there God is hew-
ing out the pillars for His temple.
Oh, if the stone can only have some
vision Of the temple of which it is
to lie part forever! What patience
must fill 1t as it feels the blows of
the hammer and knows that sue
cess for it is simply to let itself be
wrought into what shape the
Master wills!-Phillips Brooks.

Luke RAIDER Says Negroes
Have Contributed Nothing
To American Civilization

1t is reliably reported that the
Rev. Luke RAIDER, pastor of Luke
RAIDER Gospel Tabernacle, 1910
East Lake street, Minneapolis, in
a sermon Sunday night, July 20,
announced that he was against Ne
groes having equality in America.
The preacher, who frequently
urges his radio listeners to accept
the Christian religion, said he is
against giving equality to Negroes
for they have contributed nothing
to our civilization.
He said their present position in
America is better than it was in
Africa! He is also reported to have
said that only those who have
helped advance Anglo-Saxon civili-
zation should be allowed to vote.
The Rev. RAIDER, in his talk, "The
Disunity of the United States"
said he was not in favor of having
the clover" classes vote!
In an attempt to show that
Roosevelt is dominated by Ameri-
cans of Jewish ancestry, RAIDER
used the formula used in certain
foreign countries by tying up Sec
rotary of War Henry Stimson with
the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb.
He said that Secretary of Navy
Frank Knox's paper, The Chicago
Daily News, is owned by Kuhn,
Loeb and that the banking firm in
turn is owned by Felix Warburg.
He praised Senator Wheeler and
Lindbergh as fighting against what
