Text: Mark S:27-37
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, DID.
Editor Of Advance

In the Gospel narrative, &C.
counts of Jesus under pressure
from throngs of people who
crowded to hear Him are inter-
spersed with accounts Of private
interviews with q few disciples
as they walked from city to city
or withdrew into some quiet
place. In these private meetings
with the disciples we get the
most intimate pictures OF the
Master, and of the struggle that
went on In His own soul as He
faced the destiny of which He
was conscious, yet from which
He shrank.
Here in our lesson, when He
asked the disciples what men
were saying about Him. it was
not in any spirit of mere cur
iosity, and certainly without any
of that vanity which has often
been q dominant quality in
men who haye come to positions
of power or influence. Jesus al
ways manifested that deep and
complete humility which He
enjoined upon His disciples.
More likely, Il was . Ques-
ton concerning how much the
people really apprehended the
nature of His teaching and His
mission. And it was In lire with
this thought that He challenged
the disciples. who do We say
that ann" In reply. Peter made
his great declaration, Thou art
the Christ" The disciples had
followed Jesus with the full con-
viction that He was the Messiah
whose coming their prophets
had proclaimed.
Why did Jesus charge them
that they should tell this to
no man? Probably because II
was of little value that men
should have . sort Of second
hand acknowledgment Of His
Messiahship. II means nothing
to believe that Jesus II the
Christ unless the belief has TAX
en- root and has reality In our
hearts and lives, and Il not just
q hearsay which we have adopt
ed from somebody else. Since
they perceived His nature and
His mission. Jesus proceeded 70
tell them how His Messiahship
was to be fulfilled. In ways
that must have startled the dis
ciples and have challenged their
faith. Many passages Of Scrip
ture make Il clear that they
thought He was going to -

Political Bargaining

WE ARE on the eve of the primary election and political
officeseeker in districts where large numbers of
people reside in Detroit naturally to win much
Negro support possible. Some of these candidates. how
making the old mistake of thinking that
there few favored members of who carry
Negro around their vest pockets and deliver at
Will Perhaps there time when such political magi-
clans could pull such tricks but those days over.
Negro voters have learned how to do their own think
ing OF most voters read and weigh the political
publicity circulated by the various candidates. then they
make up their minds and to the polls and vote their
own judgment dictates. This is as it should be.
The wise thing for political candidates to do there
place their political advertisements in represen
tatve newspapers which read and respected by the
people whose those candidates wish to In
other words is best appeal straight to the voters them
selves and not try their support through the
scna influence of two individuals organizations
Detroit has a Negro population Of more than 10000,
with their individual political eanings, and candidates
seeking mass Negro support hardly expect TO win it
through political bargaining with few members OF the
race.
Newspapers have advertising space to SELL not to give
away and candidates who want newspapers to donate
space should make such requests to the papers in person
and not depend persons to whom they have made job
and patronage promises free endorsements printed
II newspapers are expected to give political advertisements
end endorsements Free those papers should be entitled to
a share of the patronage, to say the least.

Glutting GU Degree Market;-IOO Many Ph.D.sl
NEGRO COLLEGES being crowded with record
AZ enrollments everywhere Education as pass
word TO fame and fortune has attracted the Negro
race, as other Education and the advantages
thereof cannot be gainsaid or dsparaged. Although
no definite correlation has been established between
education and character, education must be regard
ed as good, and such, highly desirable. There
can be no quarrel with those parents who make phe-
nomena sacrifices 10 educate their children: neither
can there be any dispaiagement OF the ambitions OF
the Negro youth whose faces are turned toward the
classic college walls. Leadership must however be
educated J.. II would be effective and efficient.
1t might not be forgotten however. that education
in this country is in rut from which il must be ex-
treated BY some means not at present available. We
are degree crazy and there is degree
sweeping the country and especially the Negro race
Already the degree market is glutted Already there
are more educated pegs than holes. Already the
competition among the degreed rs becoming bitter.
Already the humber vocations are being manned by
degreed men and women who not only are not pre-
pared physically, but unprepapred rsycholoeically
for the efficient performance OF such humble tasks
There is this TO be said about what we call high
or education II not only does fit us for the more
practical tasks but II actually units us mentally for
such III ones work is to be done we'll there must
be the proper mental attitude. Higher education
100 OFTEN units one for the lowly tasks that too
OFTEN foisted upon one. Herein lies tho tragedy OF
the sitaution surrounding the Negro race
Today never before We need workers 10 per-
form the humber chores OF life Our colleges are
not addressed TO this phase OF our education; but
they are rather addressed 10 the program of pre-
pairing the Negro youth for the more exalted nos-
tions which we have aptly called the white collar
positions The only thing wrong with this program
Is that Ii has eaten up zeal for the preparation TO
do the humber tasks II mus not be forgotten that
these humber places the prerequisites for the
higner ones. Every degree must have the support
