1900 to 1918; the Rev. DR.. Henry H.
Ranck. 1914 to 1899, with the Rev.
DR.. Calvin H. Wingert the present
minister.
DR.. Schick was pastor during the
period Theodore Roosevelt attended
the church. Under his pastorate the
present church structure and the
Sunday school house, constructed in
1912, were built.
Under the leadership of DR.. Ranck
the church continued to grow.
Among the events taking place were
the revision Of the church constitu-
ton, celebration of the 40th ami
versary of organization on October
7, 1917, and liquidation of the Sum
day school debt. DR.. Ranck was also
active in the formation of the Wash

Upon his retirement in 1899 he was
made pastor emeritus.

w. 1. Ellis. Wnen, more than
40 years earlier, he, and his COM
rade Joshua, had brought back an
affirmative report from their mis-
sion to spy out the land of promise.
All of us know old men of the
Caleb type. They have lived man
fully beyond the Psalmist's allotted
term of years.
In midmanhood Caleb had
weighed the promises of God against
the obstacles that he found in
Canaan and he believed God. He
was in a minority, but he lived
long enough to see the majority
perish in the wildnerness. And he
never let 60 of the promise of Moses
that he should have Hebron for his
inheritance. His faith developed
into a purpose though he had to
wait through many discouraging
years for its fulfillment.
This Hebron, in the south of
Palestine. still lives today. 1t is
one of the worlds really old cities.
At present it is strong Moslem
center, and the Jewish community
lives in fear.
The one bit of land that Abraham
bought in Palestine is in Hebron
the Cave of Machpelah, purchased
Genesis 23 as tomb for Sarah,
and later the resting place of Abra-
ham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah
and Jacob and Leah. Rachals S
tomb is on the highway between
Jerusalem and Bethlehem, where
she died giving birth to Benjamin }
Over the cave today stands a great
mosque. to which no Jew, and for
centuries. no Christian was ad-
mitted. BY special favor a few priv
ileged persons, myself among them,
have been permitted to enter and
inspect the six green-covered ceno-
taphs in the mosque, placed over
the actual tombs in the cave below.
There is hole in the floor
through which small boy is let
down once a year to clean up the
accumulated paper prayers which
devout Jews have inserted in an
aperture in the wall, near the bot
tom of the steps.
For that is as near as Jews are
permitted to go to the tomb of their
great ancestors. Their prayers are
mostly by childless women, seeking
the intervention of Sarah-a pa
thetic spectacle. OF course, it is
also pious duty to pray at Abra-
hams grave for the return of Israel's
glory.

OSTON Despite Sundays
three-hour street fight in the Rox-
bury district between Negro serv-
icemen and patrolmen, officials OF
the police department deprecated
the idea Of any trouble here assum-
ing the proportions OF riot.
There is no possibility OF race
riot in Boston," declared Public
Commissioner Thomas F. Sullivan.
Negroes and whites have always
lived IN harmony here and condi-
tons haven't changed.
I'VE have statue in Boston built

for freedom on American soil and
every year we celebrate the life Of
John Boyle O'Reilly. Irish poet and
friend OF the Negro.
There is no racial rift and one
OF the reasons why we get along
here is that there is a large Irish
Catholic population in Boston and
the Irish and the Negro have always
been friendly because they are both
minority people and realize their
fight must be together"
Bullock Agrees with Chief
Parole Commissioner Matthew w.
Bullock, veteran Negro attorney and
former All-American left end at
Dartmouth, voiced almost the same
opinion. Bullock added. however,
that he was disturbed about anti
Semitic uprisings in the city, and
said he feared that unless they were
checked the feeling would spread to
include Negroes and other minority
groups here.

is caused by sudden influx OF too

Other leaders estimated that al
one time as many as 10000 Negro
servicemen were allowed furloughs
in Boston. The colored section was
not large enough 10 accommodate
this great number and as result
they spread over into other sections
The general opinion, however, is
that conditions have greatly i'm

Miss Hellman. southerner. who
described herself as hating the
South, declared that Southern
whites are eager for any provoca-
tion for racial riots. But rioting
defeats its own ends, she said. The
night for equality in the South can
best be carried on through the
trade unions, she feels.
