Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Reddy Fox wasted very little time
waiting for Peter Rabbit to come
out from under that pile of brush
where he had hidden at Sammy
Jays warning. Just to pass the
time away Peter took a little nap.
When he awoke he sat for a few
minutes trying to make up his mind
where to go and what to do next.
From way over in the direction OF
the Old Pasture the voice OF Blacky
the Grow reached MIN. Peter
pricked up his ears and then
chuckled. "Reddy Fox has gone back
to the Old Pasture and Blacky has
discovered him." he thought happily.
You see he understood what Blacky
was saying. To you or me Blacky
would simply have been saying,
Cav. cav, caw!" But to all the
little people of the Green Forest
and Green Meadows within hear
ing he was shouting, Fox! Fox!
Fox!"
Il wonder" thought Peter, where
Blacky is nesting this year. Last
wear his nest was in tall pine tree
not far from the edge of the Green
Forest. I believe I'll run over there
and see If he has a new nest near
the old one"
So Peter scampered over to the
tall pine tree in which was Blacky'S
old nest. AS he sat with his head
tipped back staring up at it, he was
struck by the thought that that nest
DIDN'T look so old after all. In fact
it looked as if it had recently been
fixed up quite like new. He was
wondering about this and trying
to think what it meant when Blacky
himself alighted close to the edge
of it. There was something in
Blacky's bill, but what it was Peter
couldn't see. Almost at once a
black head appeared above the edge
of the nest and a black bill seized
the thing which Blacky had brought.
Then the head disappeared and
Blacky silently flew away.
"As sure as I live" muttered Peter,
that was Mrs. Blacky, and Blacky
brought her some food so that she
would not have to leave those eggs
she must have up there. He may be
the blackhearted robber that every
one says he is but he certainly is a
good husband He's better husband
than some others I know. of whom
nothing but good is said. 1t just
goes to show that there is some good
in the very worst folks. Blacky is
a sly old rascal Usually he is as
noisy as any one I know, but just
now he came and went without
making a sound. Now I think of it.
I haven't once heard his voice near
here this spring. I know a lot of
clever people but no one quite so
clever as Blacky the Grow. With
all his badness I can't help liking
him"
Twice while Peter watched. Blacky
returned with food for Mrs. Blacky.
Then, tired of keeping still so long,
Peter decided to run over to a GER
tam lonesome place in the Green
Forest to see if Redtail the Hawk
was using his old nest again

It is one of the hidden assets of
the United States. Indeed, with
out it a democratic nation cannot
survive.
In the conception of this nation
the cord of religion was drawn in
timately through it's basic struc-
ture. The Declaration of Indepen-
dence and the Constitution of the
United States and the basic legal
traditions profess a faith in a per-
sonal God, a faith in the existence
of a moral law, a faith in judg-
ment by the Infinite Spirit. Re-
peatedly the decisions of our courts
have asserted that they do not pre-
tend to release individuals from
moral obligations imposed through
the natural law by the Creator.
Churches and religious institutions
enjoy special privileges from the
law. This blasphemer is punished.
But what is more significant in
the affairs of everyday life, many
Americans are vitality mOtivated by
religious convictions. Why do not
more people steal from the stores
and they could do so often without
fear of apprehension. The reason
is that they think it is wrong, IN
just. But those terms have no
meaning apart from religion. Why
do most citizens quietly give to the
income tax collector a fairly hon.
est statement of their earnings?
To do otherwise they Judge would
be. unjust, wrong. Why do not
more people leave the scene of an
accident? Why do not employers
always Cypress their workers?
Why do not employees constantly
sabotage the property of corpora
tons? The answer is that many
Americans believe that the Infinite
Spirit established a moral law &C.
cOrding to which men are obliged
to pattern their lives. At times
they do make grave mistakes in
their Interpretation of the moral
law, but the vital point to be noted
here is that most Americans do
recognize a moral law and if they
can be convinced that certain &C.
tons and attitudes are against that
law their actions will be altered.

By Hobart T. Mitchell

This Goth Century fable may
read comedy to you but it spells
a dramatic composition, depicting a
serious story, to millions of Ne
groes in the United States.
From Harlem in New York to
Central Avenue in Los Angeles,
from South Parkway in Chicago to
Ramport Street in New Orleans,
most every Negro leader that
ascends public platform, in these
days, and speaks on the subject,
eve Want Work On Defense Jobs"
will invariably end his speech by
saying that "No Negro has ever
shown disloyalty to his country"
This last remark, the grand finale
of his address, will bring a clap
ping together of black palms and
the hall will ring with a thunder
of applause.
The Negroes loyalty to this coun-
try, it's true, has never been ques-
toned, but to each other, ali, my
folks, that's another story.
But now, after a petite introduce
ton, let US begin the story. A
story that could have been told
yesterday; a story that we shall
tell today; but we are hoping and
praying the same story shall not or
will not be told tomorrow.

C. B. Wheeler, Mr.. Maceo Sim

companied a large number from
Mt. Olivet church to Radio Station
WCCO where a team from Mt.
Olivet Sunday School took part in
Bible quiz contest defeating the
Plymouth Congregational Sunday
School by a score of 1876 to 70. The
team representing Mt. Olivet was:
James Milsap, Doris Massie, Bar
bara Hampton and Elonzella Ever
son. This was very lively con-
test and our team did splendid.
Rev. Wheeler spoke to a large au-
dience Sunday morning, his sub
ject, PRAYER, FOR FAITH
AND IT'S INCREASE" He said
"Let US guard against a common
error, we are not to pray for Faith
as if the whole rested with Gods
communications. He has already
given us the testimony, and the
great object of Faith, and capacity
and power to know and believe.
But by Spiritual influences He can
excite to greater attention, inspire
with higher ardor, give power and
success to the means"
Just as we pray for daily bread,
yet toll and labor, and use the
means. Such then, are the views
and feelings we should cherish in
seeking an increase of Faith. The
following visitors worshipped with
US at the II a. m. service, Miss
Gertrude Barber, st. James A. NJ.

you can number on the fingers of
your hands. Even the few jobs
which they additionally held, such
as that of waiting at table, are be-
ing taken from them by white
girls.
What closes the door of employ
ment to them? Prejudice. In
normal times that is serious. In
these days when all are girding for
national defense it is tragic.
In a conference such as this
there is data and information
which must be discussed. But there
is one vital question which the Ne
gro is asking. The question is:
What can be done here in Mime
sofa?
An effort might be made to edu-
cate white Americans. It would
help but the college graduate is
not eminent in the community for
his freedom from discriminatory
practices. And then education does
not always touch a mans con-
science.
An appeal might be made to the
Americanism of each citizen. It
would help; but the difficulty is
that there are such divergent I'M
derstandings of Americanism. The
people of the Southern States have
contributed a large percentage Of
the volunteers to the armed forces
of the nation. But unfortunately
today a Negro in uniform is not
safe on the roads Of some of those
districts. Then Americanism does
not always appeal to a mans con-
science.
Persistently through the years
many white Americans have re-
sorted to ingenious subterfuges
and articles to avoid giving the
Negro the same treatment and
privileges accorded to white men
and women. Laws have been en-
acted by the Federal Government
and by state governments, execu-
tive orders have been issued. They
have helped. Unhappily, though,
many Americans have devised
methods both for keeping the law
and also keeping the Negro out.
In the industries engaged in ma
tiOnal defense undoubtedly some
through habit will continue to use
such subterfuges.
Is there any other appeal which
might be made to white Ameri-
cans? Is there any appeal which
will disturb them in the use of sub
terfuges? One other appeal might
be that Of examination of this
practice in terms of religious con-
victions and religious concepts.
Unfortunately many Americans
deny the possession of any religion.
But fortunately they speak falsely.
Truly and regrettably they seldom
go to church and their prayer books
and Bibles are dust-covered. Yet
they have retained some religion.

THE NEGRO AND
NATIONAL DEFENSE

By Rev. Frances J. Gilligan, STD.
address delivered at Twin Cities Con-
ference on Training and Employment of
Negroes for National Defense Industries at
University of Minnesota, Thursday, Oct. 9.
1941.)
All Americans are agreed upon
the urgent necessity of building
rapidly great supplies of military
stores for the defense of our con-
tinent, our possessions, and for the
preservation of our way of life.
Yet while the instruments of war
are being forged most Americans
have contrasted the philosophy of
the totalitarian nations of Europe
and the democratic doctrines of the
United States. Properly many
earnest words have been spoken
about the superiority of Democra-
cy where the sacredness of each
individual is respected, where each
man has the freedom of speech,
freedom of religion, opportunities
for education, and the opportunity
to work where human needs make
work for human hands.
Yet while these words about the
superiority of Democracy are be-
ing spoken, as intelligent and re-
Elective men, We must recognize a
sharp difference between the belief
and the practice in the United
States. While we would cast the
mote out of the eye of the Euro
pean we must recognize that there
is one in our own eye. In Mime
sofa, in our own state for exam
pie, the Negro is denied in large
measure a fundamental good, the
privilege of working where other
Americans work. He may vote, he
may speak, he may go to school
but he may not work. In some
measure he enjoys the freedom to
starve slowly. Prejudice has closed
to him many doors of employment.
When he hears these brave words
about Democracy his sentiments
are probably expressed in the title
of the current song-hit, II Guess
I'll Have to Dream the Rest"
To those who have lacked the
time to study this problem would
recommend trip across these two
cities for the purpose of seeking
colored men and colored women at
work. Go to the places where other
people find work. Look in at the
department stores, the drug stores,
the grocery stores and ask to be
served by a colored clerk. Look
in at the public utilities, such as
the telephone offices, the power
and light plants and except in
mental jobs you will not find them.
Look at the faces of the men who
operate the street cars and the
buses and you will not find colored
ones. Look in at the offices, the
banks, the insurance companies,
the great machine-shops the
places where hundreds are finding
employment and the Negro work
ers that you find engaged in any
work except that of porter or maid
