Two pastors have guided the
destinies of the Full Gospel Taber-
nacle since it was organized in 1922
The first was the Rev. Harry Lee
Collier, from 1922 until his death
in 1894. The other is the present
pastor, the Rev. B. E. Manan, who
came in 1884.
The history Of the congregation
goes back nearly Is years before the
church was formally organized in
1922 as the Full Gospel Assembly
Some time during 1907 a small
group met in different homes for
services.
Their first regular meeting place
was the home of Mrs. NJ. A. Perry
902 H street NE, where they met
from 1908 to 1915. There the
future first pastor was baptized in
1910.
The next move was to Mariners
Hall, 1242 Water street NV. This
took place in 1916, and the work was
ministered by two evangelists. Mr..
Collier later carried on the work on
a part-time basis the first few years.
A native of Bunceton, Mo-, he came
here in 1890 and worked as book
keeper at Woodward e. Lothrop be-
fore entering the government service
as an auditor. He eventually be-
came deputy disbursing officer OF
the Interior Department.
In 1922 the church was formally
organized as the Full Gospel As

sembly with Mr.. Collier leaving the
government to become its first pas
tor. The Rev. Herbert w. Kline was
assistant pastor.
The following year services were
transferred to the Full Gospel Hall,
$50 Pennsylvania avenue NV.
In 1927 the Methodist Episcopal
Church at North Capitol and K
streets was purchased. The MEM
bership increased to more than 1000.
On April 7, 1884, after Mr.. Collier
died, a call was extended to the
Rev. B. E. Mahan Of the Cleveland
(Ohio) Pentecostal Church to take
up the task.
Chief of his achievements during
the succeeding years was the pur-
chase of the former McKendree M.
E. Church at 915 Massachusetts, ave-
nue. NV. The church also has a
choir of 10 voices, directed by the
Rev. Russell Pratt, and further q
missionary program overseas.

of uncertain mind; quibbling and
criticisms are a prevailing mood.
THE brittle intellectuals who crack
beneath a strain" have been heard
throughout the land In our des-
perate day. But now their voice
is growing dim. Even they per-
ceive that the old teachings Of
religion are the only truths for our
time, and that our hope Is in the
men and women who speak the
Words and live the Life. Ezekiel
challenges every one who has had
an experience of God to stand up
straight and to speak out loud the
truth that has been given him.
What a change would come to Our
time if God-inspired voices could
be heard in our legislative halls, in
colleges and newspapers, sounding
the ringing call Get right with
God"
That same summons heard by
the nations would transform the
present scene.
Our prophet, who had spoken
many stern words, now portrays
the patient loving, forgiving nature
Of the shepherd God, who cares for
His sheep scattered in cloudy and
dark day. His tender promise holds
good in our own era, with the Jewish
question the paramount issue.
Whether Gods ancient covenant
with the Jews still holds good or
whether it was Cancelled by their
refusal to accept Jesus as their
Messiah is a question upon which
theologians do not agree.
But there is no challenging Eze-
kiel's prophesy of new spirit In
the hearts of the people. A religious
revival among the Jews would mean
more than the fulfillment of the
most soaring zionist's dream. The
present issue is more definitely spir-
itual than political or military. Al
return to God is more important
than return to Palestine.

eqro i'm history


NOU won't read it in most
history books, but Negroes
have played an important role in
the development of America since
Pietro Alonzo, Ell Negro came
here with Columbus in 1892 as
pilot of the Santa Maria.
This and similar omissions have
contributed to the popular belief
that Negroes came here only as
slaves and have had no history of
their own. To counteract the myth
of Negro inferiority and raise the
iron curtain" around Negro
achievements, Negro History Week
has become an annual observance.
Negroes came here as equal
members of exploring parties after
the discovery by Columbus. One.
Esfevanico, is credited with dis
covery of the Zuni Indians and
New Mexico in 1882, There were
80 with Balboa when he first saw
the Pacific ocean. In the conquest
of Mexico. Cortez was accom-
panied by Negro who. finding in
his rations of rice some grains of
wheat. planted them as an expert

Racism marks majority
Of Americans as victims

THE brutal oppression OF the Negro people
L is the crudest, most direct form of raciSm
that victimiZes than half of the American
people. And like all forms of discrimination, it
degrades those who accept its false values and
threatens existence free people.
AT the root of this racsm is the myth of
Superiority of white Protestants whose national
origins in Northern Europe (Hitler's AIRY
only less prosecuted than Negroes 1t looks down
all peoples of the Middle and Far East.
This racism finds expression in epithets APP
piled to all inferior peoples. The movies, with
their consistently white Christian heroes and hero
ines their Contamination of persons of dark skin
foreign accent, feed upon and contribute to the
myth Most widely circulated magazines and many
books do likewise
1t is no accident that such would be fuehrers
as Gerald L. K Smith wave the banner of Anglo
Saxon Christian culture. They attacking the
fabric Of American life at its weakest point. Amer
leans who haxbor feelings of superiority TO any
group playing into the hands of the Smiths
and Ranleins
With this background we see that the same
discrimination which marks the Negro people as
its number one victim, ulling white workers to
sleep with the doctrine of white supremacy" is
only feature of racism which illustrates and
degrades millions of Americans.
The fight against Negro oppression is a battle
to defeat monstrous theory which brands
joritY of Americans inferior" and aims at the
destruction of freedom. Racisna is the inevitable
tool of fascism.

1T WAS from among these high
ly developed people that slaves
were taken and brought to AM
erica ia increasing numbers after
1919. However, contrary to popu-
lar belief, these Africans did not
accept bondage docilely. DR.. Her
bert Aptheker mentions several
hundred slave rebellions in his
studies on Negro history, among
the most noted being those of Nat
Turner and Denmark Vesey.
Despite oppression. the NEGRO
has fought in all of Americas
wars. II was symbolic that the
fist to die when the colonies
threw off the yoke of bondage

Others aided in exploring Guat-
emala and in conquering Chile,
Peru and Venezuela; Ayllon's 1926
expedition northward from the
Florida peninsula and establish
ment of San Miguel near what is
now jamestown, Va, was accom-
plished with Negro aid. Thus when
Matt Henson went with Peary in
1909 to discover the North Pole,
he was merely carrying out the
long tradition of exploration by
Negroes.
That Negroes came here with
explorers may be attributed to the
absence of race prejudice as we
know it among Europeans of that
time. Many of Europe's royal
families at one time had strong
African strains; the Moorish con-
quests of Spain and Portugal as
well as commercial intercourse
and wars between Italy and Afri-
can nations resulted in the infu-
sion of the blood of black men
into those-1ands. Many Negroes be-
came famous as scholars, artists
and soldiers throughout Europe.
