A Changing
W Orld

When one thinks of the conditions
'of the world today he must admit that
great changes are being made. The
change that is being made is not forced
upon us by laws, aounties, states, and
nations, and yet we must recognize the
fact that conditions are changing
A British reporter said over me radio
a few days ago that Great Britain was
undergoing a great change. He did not
mean the destruction of bui 'dings and
the like but he said that the war was
causing men to forget racial prejud ces.
rich ard poor, high and how; class, etc.
1t had been found that the German
bombs had no respector of person. The
German bombs were killing the rich
and poor high and low; the meek and
humble German bombs skipped no
homes; all of them looked alike. This
great destruction has gone on to the
extent that Great Britain is beginning
to look upon a man as a man.
Isn't it pitiful and pathetic that God
has to suffer such destruction to make
man recognize and become cognizant OF
the fact that we are Dur brothers
keeper?

is not fair and l heard it announced over
the radio a few days ago that war has
broken out in the Western Hemisphere
in some of our South American coun-
tries. Friends, can we not see the

People, Don't you see that time is
winding up?" God in Heaven desires
that a change be made and if we as
Christians will stubbornly refuse tc
make the change then God is going to
see to it that in some way and some
how the change is made.
The Negroes. espec ally, have to pay
taxes who live in certain school dis

and the taxes paid are for white schools
but the Negroes carrot even get a road

is dominated by whites.
Taxed on all of our parks and p ay

What real consideration do Negroes get

We have no voice when it comes to

if the white man could feel satisfied

why they do not want Hitler over here
