HoNoRING A USEFUL CITIZEN

The banquet testimonial to Attorney Bourne which
certain certain groups of citizens have arranged is
splendid expression of appreciation of man who has
devoted much of his time to efforts leading to improved
conditions for the Race Mr. Bourne early allied himself
with organizations contending for equality of rights and
privileges notably the Boston Literary and Historical AS
sociation and the Equal Rights League fighting devoedy
side by side with Monroe Trotter and others of the
Leagues great salwarts During recent years he has
been the inspiring and Woodworking president of the New
England Congress for Equal Opportunities organza
ton that functions increasingly throughout the year
combating racial wrongs and inequalities.
Of all the Hubs militant bodies the Congress merits
the description the most alert and hardest worker Re-
call the pcketing for jobs. All of it done by Al
torney Bourne's organization Recall the Symphony Hall
Pops which pubiczed the outstanding musical talents
of the Coored This project too fahered by the
New England Congress. 1t has defended numbers of VIC
Tins of local prejudice it has secured jobs for Coored
workers in stores and shops has championed bills in
the Legislature that gains for labor For all these
efforts Attorney Bourne, successful in his exacting pro-
fession found time to enlist his valued services.
In honoring him, tribute is also paid to the spirit
of mitancy which the Congress helps nightly to keep
alive and fruitful in the City for which agitation against
wrong the immortal title Of Birthplace of Liberty

MORALE =.
Now that Joe Louis may be
assigned to the Morale Division
of the Army, the important
part we play to the morale of
our nation has again been
brought to the forefront.
BY morale, we mean the feel
ing or state of mind of a per-
son imbued with courage, con-
f1dence, faith and vision. This
is necessary for the men in
our armed forces as well as for
the civilian population. Re
member, this is a total war
where every individual has his
part to carry out.
If any people know about
keeping up morale, it certainly
is that one out of every ten
Americans-So called Afro
Americans or popularity known
as colored.
This tenth of our population
generally thoughtlessly
grouped as carefree, smiling,
laughing, dancing and singing
under the most adverse cir
cumstances. But this exterior
has prevented them from be-
coming a vanishing people and
has helped our rapid ad-
vancement since the Civil War.
Even before this, they had q
high type of morale. In those
days, however, they called it
faith and vision to look for
ward to the day which they
knew would surely come-the |
day when they would be free.
But freedom to the slaves did |
not mean freedom as guaraL- |
teed to other Americans by |
our laws and our Constitution
although we fought and bled .
for freedom in every war Am
erica has waged. We are still
set apart and Disseminated
against even at time of great
emergency and great need.
It was the dictator nations
who have said that this is
total war where every individ-
ual counts. 1t appears that
our country is not yet alive to
the fact that every individual
in this country too, is necess-
airy to- winning this war in the
quickest time an dthe least eX-
penSe of material and men.
One of my friends has said
that they won't accept him in
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1942-01-17

the Marines; that he had never
cooked or waited on table so
he is of no use in the Navy and
that they won't accept him in
the air force.
To cap all of this, our coun-
try is building up a reserve Of
human blood. In spite Of eevry
test conceived, science can
discover no difference from the
blood of a colored man from
that taken from any other hui
man being.
These facts and even fewer
would lessen the morale of any
other people, But not So with
us. We still volunteer for tasks
of the most mental to those of
the highest profession.
When this war is overland
peace is surely contingency
there spring up another Will
liam Monroe Trotter from BoS-
ton or elsewhere to demand
from the President of the
United States and the Prime
Minister of England and 9TH
ers at the Peace Conference,
the freedom and rights we have
always fought for and to
which we are entitled.
Even during this war, we
should make our wrongs known
and demand redress as pa
triotic duty and to keep up the
morale of ALL of the people.
This is absolutely essential, be-
cause all of us want our coun-
try to remain a democracy.
Giving more freedom to a tenth
of the population here would
indicate to the whole world
that we really mean what we
say because we have started in
our own back yard. Everybody
will be then assured that we
will not lose the freedom and
democracy here which we are
trying to regain for others else
where.
Yes, we will still keep smil-
ing, keep buying Defense Bonds
entertaining and keep
up our recreational work ard
even infect the people with
whom we come in contact with
our smiling faith, courage and
vision, which abound in us.
America, look to your Colored
brother, if you want genuine
morale.
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1942-01-17

and you go down to Egypt
seeking help, you seek after the
consolation and information Of
the Soothsayers and mediums
and after difficulty braids itself
deeper, just as the soul is about
to be crushed you seek after
God and he mockS your prayer.
Il will mock when your fear
cometh, because when I called
you you would not answer
The enemy listens to God
mocking your prayer. He sees
that you are helpless. He sees
that your day Of salvation is
past so he calls on his host of
imps to bring on complete de-
struction, for indeed sin and
destruction meet no opposition
on your path when your pray
erS are in vain.
So why gamble your soul to
this day of dark trial,-why
outlive the usefulness of your
spiritual opportunity for who
knows when the day of re-
pentance shall be over. Now
is the accepted time, now that
you hear my voice, turn from
your evil and sinful ways and
enter into the gates OF saliva
ton while they are opened unto
you. For sin they shall be
closed, soon shall the day of
prayer be over, sin shall the
day Of stamping and sealing
be liver and those who are not
ready, those whose lamps are
nit filled and are not burning
bright shall be forever list in
the darkness-not being able
to find their way they shall be
led by the enemy into the lake
of birthstone and fire, where
the salvation of the soul shall
be known no more.

CHAMPION JOE LOUIS


Americas number one hero
of the day, Champion Joe
Louis, heavyweight king, did a
great job for his country and
his race when he turned his
entire purse over to the Navy
and backed it up by enlisting
in the Army never before
n the history of the country
has a champion of sport done
such a noble deed just pic
ture if Joe Louis were a white
man He would have been
awarded a commission in the
Army or Navy, a few medals
and been the honored guest at
victory dinners set up in his
honor; never the-leSs when the
newspapers, the Navy Depart
ment, the Army and Washing
ton offered their thanks
through their representative,
Wendell Wilkie, they did as
much as they dared one
thing we would like to know,
why Joe Louis didn't join the
Navy? would they put Joe
Louis in the kitchen of some
battleShip or cruiser? they
couldn't very we'll and maybe
we might have got our first
break as enlisted seamen E.
however, the United States
Government should open its
eyes in other fields of direction,
the colored race is loaded with
champions, mentally as we'll as
physically and if given equal
opportunities with their white
brothers this war for one
thing wouldn't be much of a
worry for victory congratu-
lations to you, Joe Louis again
for retaining your heavyweight
title and making things a lit
tie better for us of your race.

'RAYERS WITHOUT
PRAYERS

Prayer is the greatest essen
tiaI to a mans life, and he that
lives so that his prayers can be
of no effect surely lives his life
in vain. 1t is the strongest
weapon which God has given
him to combat his foes. 1t is
the hand of reality from which
we draw blessings from Heav-
en- and it is the power of life
over death, of health over
sickness, of prosperity over
adversely. of salvation over
damn alton. But what avail
eth all this, if you pray, and
can't get an answer.
The prayers of the righteous
availeth much but those of the
unrighteous availeth nothing.
God is a Holy God, reigning in
a holy place, where neither sin,
nor the breath of sin, nor the
fruits of sin can ever enter.
Only the sinner that is seeking
forgiveness can contact God
through prayer. But as long as
you won't live right, get e.
your knees as you are wasting
your time.
One saint of God can put a
thousand devils to flight and
two can put ten thousand, for
Satan and all He'll trembleS
and shakes with fear whenever
the weakest of Gods prodigal
kneels at the throne. But
what sad, tragic state of af-
fairs exists when he that is
wrong and believes himself to
be right-When he that is
bound for Hell and believes
that he is on his way to Heav-
en- falls down on his knees to
pray and tries to get an an
sWer.
You can't pray off hidden
sin-you can't pray over wilful
wrong-you can't hate your
brother and ask God for fayors
you can't wrong your neigh
Dor and seek God for blessing
you can't even pray for the
salvation of your soul until
you become willing to lay down
every weight-forsake every
wrong doing, seek forgiveness
of those you wrong, take the
humble part in life and render
the best of your service to your
needy fellow man. After this,
then think about praying.
God cannot and will not at
tempt to do his part until you
uncomprimisingly do yours. If
not your prayers shall be in
vain and God shall mock every
word you say. When the enc
my comes to destroy your soul
and body and you go seeking
for an anchorage in prayer.
The enemy steps back-he
watches the heaven and sees if
God opens the windows unto
you. If you are still hating, if
you are not forgiving, if you
have shut your bowels of com
passion to the need of your
brother-the enemy laughs as
you start to pray. When
troubles pour into your life,
