70 Q OAAg-eASN NAA AeAAAA~~ eN@eN NAAC ~sNNSN@ / According to Law" is by Noel Houston, who wrote 1t in a court room play about the trial of a Negro for the alleged rape of a white woman. The locale is Texas and the author is concerned with what he considers to be the injus- tice of the justice meted out to Negroes in such cases. His chief protagonist is a drunken attorney assigned by the court to defend the accused Negro and, although he doesn't win the case, he gets a few things off his chest--and his fee of $25 with which to buy more gin. The plays chief fault is that it brings nothing new to this type of drama, which has been done as convincingly many times. Don Ap- pell did fine job as the attorney.
 The other play, by former con- cert singer named Patti Spears, should not have happened even to New York. It is a five-character affair involving a physician, his wife, who is half his age, and their guests, playwright stumped for an idea for his new play and a young actor. The playwright dis covers romance budding between the wife and actor and it gives him an idea for his play-whether Q best friend should tell his best friend that he has a cheating wife.
 As the story llnfolds the drama tist dozes off and dreams of the alternate lines play on the theme might follow. The actors enact the same scene three times with varia- tions. In the end the playwright decides not to tell and removes the actor from further temptation by going away with him for an ex- tended visit in California. The first-night audience laughed in the wrong places, which will give you an idea.
 Members of the cast of this play are Richard Gordon, Alicia Para hay, Herbert Heyes, Ralph Clanton and Byron Russell. Endrey directed both plays.

You are working for a wage that Is high CT than mechanics pay was before the wal and higher than 1t will be after the war. We have seen that you have got your raises when they were due you. We got you small fortune in back pay. We put you on the incentive pay as soon as you came in the yard, which we should not have done until you had been in the yard for thirty days. We have helped you to transfer around to keep you satisfied, and a hundred other things l can tell you about.

That is all. l would like to say a word or two about one of our Executive Board members whom I have been hearing lot of rumors about the past couple of weeks. The man, none other than Philip Santangelo, the best friend to the working man who has ever been here in the Victory Yard. Phil has never lost an individual grievance and has never refused to give a helping hand to anyone who has asked for it. It is rumored around that he is getting a better job because the Company wants him out of the
 Union. That is not right and he will be stronger than ever now. He is on days at the Victory Yard and only because his wife is in a very nervous condition. Phil is going to be missed on the second shift more than some of the boys think. We wonder if the new man that takes his place as rep resentative of his department will be able to keep the men as well satisfied as he has.

by WILLIE M Cs O1LhO1 H. II.
At what point die Jesus in His
human consciousness become con-
WINGED that the prophecies concern
ing the coming of the Messiah were
to be fulfilled in Him?
We do not know; no one knows,
despite the dogmatic judgments
that some are wont to express in
such matters. His assertion of His
Messiahship to the Women of Sa-
maria at Jacobs Well John ~
would seem to have been made
early in His ministry; b. the way
in which His mission was to be
fulfilled would appear to have de-
veloped slowly in His conscious
ness.
It would seem difficult, other
wise, to explain the openness of
Jesus final acknowledgment, and
the contrast of the public ministry
and events of the last week in
His life with much that went be-
fore. Hitherto, when the crowds
pressed around Him, Jesus was
wont to retire to the desert, or to
the mountain.
When the disciples acknowledge
ed His messiahship, He warned
them to tell no man." The ex-
PLANTATION is that His hour had not
yet come"
But now, suddenly, He les all
restraint aside, accepts the hon.
age and plaudits of the throng
which He had formerly avoided,

Sunday School Lesson

He had predicted His suffering and
death mark 10:32-34). He evident
ly accepted all the public acclaim
of the triumphal entry into Jerusa-
lem because He was now certain
that His hour had come. Where
before it had been best to carry
on His ministry quietly, now it was
important to make His mission
unmistakable.
It is both interesting and instruc-
tive to note how large a part of
the recorded ministry of Jesus
was crowded into that last week,
Holy Week. His acts and words
were bold and uncompromising. He
overturned the tables of the mon
ey-changers and drove them out of
the temple; He pronounced that
sermon of woes, RECORDED in Mat
thew %; He denounced the con-
yentional religious authorities in
bitter language; He seemed almost
to be inviting them to do their
worst to Him.
Jesus said that He had come
to seek and to save the lost. He
had found them and saved them.
But He said, also, that He had
come to bear witness unto truth.
and the witness to truth-in word
and in deed-was in every moment
of that last week. He was fulfilling
the great prophecies concerning the
Messiah that in the very beginning
He had taken to Himself. This
day is this Scripture fulfilled in
your ears"
The proof of Christ's messiah.
ship is in what He said and did.
Many had arisen claiming to be
messiahs: but Jesus, as Messiah,
came claiming only the right to
love, and serve, and suffer, and
save. What fuller proof could there
be?
