The Religious Corner
By REV. P. w. DUCKWORTH
CHRISTIANITY is A RELIGION
OF REDEMPTION

The Religion of Christ has some
times been compared with other re-
ligions. There is one thing, however
in which Christianity shows itself
to be not comparative. The death
of Christ, its founder, makes
Christianity differ widely from other
religions. They are ethical; it is
redemptive. Tt is impossible to live
the ethics of Christianity without
the dynamics of the Cross.
Paul says, 1 delivered unto you
first of all that which I also re-
ceived, that Christ died for our
sins, This is the first plank on
the Christian Platform. So far as
history records the lives of great
men they have desired to be re-
membered because of the lives
they have lived. Jesus Christ differs
from all other men in that he de-
Sires to be remembered not by the
things he did or said so much as
by the death that he died.
He took the Communion cup
and bread and gave it to the Disci-
pies. He said, This do in remem-
brance Of me-" "Ye do show forth
the Lords death till I come" Men
speak about Christ as the great
teacher, the great Philanthropist
and benefactor, the great moral
example. But it was not on these
things that the Apostles laid en-
phasis. 1t was Jesus as Redeemer
and Saviour that they would have
men see. If I be lifted up, will
draw all men unto me. The Cross
is the very heart and soul of
the Gospel The man who has no
Cross in his message has no Gospel.
He may have message but
no gospel Even that message is
demagnetized Tt has been robbed
of its drawing powers.

Alcorn College
Has Book Week
A. q. LIBRARIAN rs
GUEST SPEAKER

ALCORN, Miss, Nov. 20--Under
the supervision of Mrs. Ruby E.
Stutts-Lyells, college librarian, Al
corn A. and M. College observed
National Book Week with programs
in the regular chapel assemblies. On
November Is there was a QUIZ pro-
gram in which the high school and
each college class competed; and
on November II an interesting
and well presented radio script, en-
titled Freedom of Speech, was
given. A bull session with Wallace
Van Jackson, Librarian, Atlanta
University, climaxed the observance
of Book Week.
Speaking on the Book Week
theme, Building the Future with
Books" Mr.. Jackson enumerated
books which have had a great
influence on the government, books
which have helped prepare us for
a better world, and books which
have helped modify personalities.
"If we are to build our voca-
tional future, we must become fanl-
liar with books on vacations, he
said, "and if we are to build
future on books we must create an
appetite for reading" In conclusion
he stated that every man and wo-
man can and should improve his
taste for books and learn to read
more critically, for this will create
a demand for better books.

private funds the figures are bet
ter but we still spend less than
any of the others, among which
are Birmingham with 81 ana
Richmond with 70 cents per CAPT
Ia to our 80 cents.
"Small as the total exnendi-
ture for this important cause, it
is, Of course, well known that
colored children receive far less
than their proportionate share
for example-of the city's 1900
acres of parks and Fairgrounds,
only 16 acres have been set aside
for the use of Negroes who make
up about one-third of our popu-
lation."
The Council said that it had

Sin the unselfish work being done
by Mr.. S. j. Thompson and 9TH
ers in the Colored Boys Club at
PIT Auburn Avenue.
"In spite of the inadequate
space, dark unattractive sur
roundings and next to no equip
ment. it's activities have been of
great value to hundreds Of the
city's neediest children" the
communication pointed ou t..
with more adequate facilities
such as workshops, play equip
ment, swimming pool and shower
baths, what might not be accom-
plished both in the prevention of
juvenile delinquency and in the
development of better citizens
To expect the neglected boys and
girls of our dilapidated and over
crowded districts to become hon
est, industrious and self-resnact
ing adults without the possibil-
itv Of wholesome pay. construc
tive leisure time activities or the
training and facilities for clean
illness, is to expect the impossi-
bic.
''In this crucial time Of unrest
and tension. what better invest
ment could be made than to pro-
vide some such center for colored
children. If an adequate building
could be secured, we feel sure
that the church women of Allan
ia win do all they can to furn-
ish and eqiup it. The need is
great. The time to do it should be
NOWm
Director Thompson said Thurs
day that no adequate building had
been found and that his group
was waiting and hopeful for an
early ending of the war when
such structure might be built.
He pointed out, however, that
colored organizations had failed
to come to the aid Of the club.
Four or five years ago, one club
offered to give financial aid,
did give So, bui no more, he
stated. The club Is a. Community
Fund supported unit. Besides
recreational and uplift work, it
