I would like to beg of the readers
to accept the column in the light
Of the aforementioned precept and
endeavor to see the value, if there
should be such, involved in the
writing to be contributed to this
column in the future.
would like to close this column
by pointing out that I am convinc-
ed that there must be an increase
in intra-racial thinking and acti-
witty which will result in increas-
ed occupatonal opportunities and
a greater indignation of the race
into the life of the city in general.
Looking forward to hearing from

Rev. Stephenson Gives
Encouraging Speech
At Defense Rally

Amid patriotic surroundings 4
near-capacity crowd attended the
Progressive Colored Youth Double
Victory Defense Rally at the Mt.
Zion Baptist Church, March &c,
to hear the Reverend D. c. Ste
pEenson speak on the. Negro Ma
tiOnal Defense.
Rev. stephenson's speech, in
short, urged that Negroes must
lose their fear of being told there
is no use for them to take Defense
school training because Defense
Industries will not accept them,
despite the fact that barriers still
exist in these industries, Defense
Training Schools must accept Ne
groes. Citing the Puget Sound Ma
Wy Yard as the first possible en-
trance for skilled Negroes, because
of its civil service system, he urg-
ed that Negroes first Register with
the State Employment Bureau to
enter such school.
Negroes, he stated, must be

1t is my sincere desire that the
improvements growing out of this
column will be both inter-racial
and intra-racial in nature. Mean
ing by this that there will be i'm
provements within our racial acti-
vities as well as in the activities
between the races in the city of
Seattle. I would like to point out
here that I am convinced that one
Of the primary needs in the devel-
opment of improved inter-racial
is an improvement in intra-racial
activities. Meaning that much of
the detriment and difficulty with
which we have been faced in our
program of the development of
better inter-racial activities are
the results of intra-racial activi-
ties or the activities of certain
members of our group here in the
City of Seattle.
In this column, we intend to
touch upon incidents both public
and private which come to our at
tention, and to deal with the pro-
grams that are of vital interest
to the race. Giving at all times
my own personal views of the i'm
plications and the results so far
as we are able to see them, from a
personal point of view, as they
may affect the race, growing out

I accept this realization and the

of making some small contribu-

Easter Comes Again
Vivienne L. Penick

Once again, Sunday, we shall
celebrate Easter, the one day in
the year set aside to mark the
anniversary of the return from the
grave of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Church doors throughout the land
will be thrown open for the surg
ing crowds, anthems will be sung,
the lighted cross will be displayed,
Easter pageants will be staged,
Easter lilies will be bestowed, the
proverbial Easter parade with bon
nets and fine clothes will be seen
on all boulevards in the great cit
les. We shall rejoice again in
THE Empty Tomb" We shall re-
view the Easter Story of the Risen
Lord. Flowers are peeping forth E.
trees are budding :. the song of
the bird takes on a new note of
gladness.
Have you ever thought the
Easter story is the story of every
man i. the birth the journey
through life with it's many vicis-
situdes, its varied experiences !.
the waiting grave. 1t not an easy
thing to wish for a new life. 1t is
harder still to live a new and diff
ferent life. Everyone of us can
have real Easter if he wishes it.
In nine cases of the ten our Ju-
das, because of his betrayal, keeps
us from rising again and our Judas
is nothing more or less than our
own faults and failures, our weak
nesses and cowardice, our fear and
Gisloyalty. Instead of suffering be-
trayal from outside, we sell our
selves for a few words of praise,
for a shallow friendship that is
unwilling to sacrifice and we Ego
down to grave of defeat from
which we are never able to rise
again.
Every living thing except man
takes on new life in April April
with all her freshness, her sweet
smell . !. her beautiful blossoms.
Everything but man does some
thing, goes some place. You, too,
can have a new life if you will
arise and take it. Throw aside the
grave clothes of lethargy that bind
you and walk forth a new crea-
ture, head high, eyes alight, soul
free, ready for new service. This
is a new day, new customs have
been born, new fields opened, new
friends have come to town. Put
defeatism out of your life and on
this Easter Day -. /. arise set
your face like flint toward the
skies and assay a bigger and bet
ter life.

they are slowly being smashed by

BY s. T. McCants

Our observance of Easter this
April should be more devout, and
in all, sincerer than we have ever
witnessed in America. I am sure
the most important question in
the minds of old and young, rich
and poor at this time, is What
about the future of mankind? Our
only answer is to point out those
making this inquiry to that old
rugged cross on Calvary's Hill,
and there, behold, that friend and
brother of yours and mine who
gave his all that we might have
the privilege to demonstrate to
the world through our love to
God and all mankind how peace
and harmony on earth must of a
necessity come through love.
Love thy neighbor as myself
was our Savior's greatest and most
important command to all people
of the earth. Failure on our part
to keep this command finds us
this Easter enshrouded with con-
fusion that only love can conquer.
Battleships, airplanes, and bullets
will fail to protect us as numer-
Gus as they may be. Our only
shield is a heart full of love for
God and all mankind That cruel
death on Calvary's Cross was not
in vain, after all these years, that
emblem of sorrow and shame
shines brighter today than ever
and is the only source of salvation
and escape for those who failed
to accept our Savior's command
to love our neighbor as ourselves,
and to do unto others as we would
have them to do unto us Obed-
fence to these commands from the
one who loved us, and gave his
life for us is definitely our only
way of escape from mad and
war-torn earth.
Love in our individual hearts for
all mankind is the only weapon
that will conquer this, the worlds
worst catastrophe. 1t is our priv
eye to have this love in abundance
and free what will our answer be ?
Shall we surrender or will we con-
itnue to trust our own weak pow
er and might? Love is the great
est power in Heaven and earth
Why not possess it?
