Church Notes

The Community Service of
Pleasant Hill Baptist Church last
Sunday night made a fine start.
The rain did not hold back the
attendance, the church being
full. Mary L. Brown was in good
voice and sang three numbers ac-
companied by Prof. Ernest o.
Banyoun. Tie pastor stated the
aim of this service is to reach the
people of the community. Rev.
Clifford L. Miller spoke on THE
Community Work of Booker T.
Washington A ligfelight Of the
service was the singing and
preaching of Rev. William James
of Wollaston. Evangelist Mabel
Marlin put in her appearance
late IN tine to sirg one number.

well. Much of the same talent
will be present next SUNDAY at
nine o'clock. To this viii be adIed
the Me ionetta Quartet.
The Brotherhood of Twelfth
Baptist Church had a very in
spring meeting last Tuesday
night. April 10. at the church.
Guest speaker was DR.. r. o. Phil

Agrees With
Randolph

In letter to Senator Wayne
Morse, Rev Kenneth de Pugh
Hughes of St. Bartholomew
Church, Cambridge, wrote as fol-
lows:
Il want to add my voice and
and influence to that of Mr.. A.
Philip Randolps who testified
befor the Senate Armed Ser
vices Committee in the projected
refusal of colored Americans to
to serve in Jim Grow army or
any Jim Grow branch Of the
armed forces of the United
States.
Il am aware OF your personal
stand in this matter, but your
committee evidently misjudges
the temper Of the people with re-
spect to segregation. l. a policy
which not only weakens the mil
itary efficiency OF our country,
but is eating away the very vitals
of democracy In America and
makes all our talk about denoc-
racy a farce n the eyes Of the
world.
'Colored Americans have been
urged to fight to defend democ-
racy too often without seeing a
fulflment OF the Wanted prom
ises. Mr.. Randolph is right when
he says that colored men by the
million will refuse to serve in a
Jim Crow army should selective
service be reestsbliShed. The

jail rather than fight for a non
existent democracy.
If this is treason then make
the most Of it. But I, along with
countless hosts, consider it a
virtue to rebel against tyranny
than which there is none greater
than a second class citizenship
which is the status to which COL
ored Americans are relegated
under segregation.
If this rebellion comes, and l
assure you it will, the Congress

only itself to blame, for the rem

you have had the Presidents
Committees Report on Civil
rights before you since last Oc-
tober. One Of the specific propos-
ais of that report, backed up by
copious evidence, is immediate
end of segregation in all branch
es of the armed forces of our
country. But you do nothing
about it. The inevitable conse-
quence of such a do-nothing pol
icy is that fourteen million col
ored Americans are fed up and
cannot be expected to defend
a country which robS them Of
their inalienable rights.

BIBLE QUESTIONS
ANSWeR@ BY The
VulcE1pRopHECY
INTERNATIONAL siBLE eaoAncAsTEa

Question: notice that the fifth
chapter of Deuteronomy gives the
Ten Commandment In a little diff
terent form from Exodus 20. Why
Is this?
Answer-Exodus 20 is the orig
inal copy, as given by the Lord on
Mount Sinai. Deuteronomy S is
Moses rehearsal of the command
ments about forty years later.
o.-Was the mama, which the
israelites ate as food, some natural
product which grows In the desert?
Alt was not a natural prod
uct, but miraculous food supplied
by God. We read in Exodus 1926:
six days ye shall gather it: but
on the seventh day, which is the
Sabbath, in it there shall be none"
Had the mama been natural prod
uct. it would have come on the Sab
bath as well as on other days, Read
also Psalm rs: 1925.
DIN reading the Bible ! have
found places where the word "for-
ever" evidently means Externally"
Is that right?
A.-You are an intelligent reader.
Forever" according to the rule
laid down by DR.. Adam Clarke,
means as long as thing can exist,
considering the surrounding circum-
stances. The Righteousness of God
and the happiness of the righteous
are to be absolutely eternal, as we
are assured by scriptures which
make no use of the word forever"
In olden times a servant was said
to serve his master forever" (See
Exodus 81: 81 Both servant and
master have now been dead for CEN
turtles, so this forever can ap-
ply only to the lifetime of the serv-
ant.

BEREA 18th DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH
712 Shawmut Avenue
T. Il. Davis, Minister

Speaking from the subject,
Gods Standard for His People,"
pastor T. L. Davis delivered the
initial sermon of the general
theme 1.-THE True Church" to
continue through April. He pref
aced his remarks with the state
ment that obedience to the truth
is the extreme requisite Of the
church. He then proceeded to
outline more salient features of
the Gospel, as, faith in the sec
ond advent Of Christ, the ordin-
ance Of humility, the Lords Sup
per, baptism, tythe paying, tenn
perance, Sabbath keeping and
above all and through all love
to God and man, In short, follow
peace and holiness with all men
without which no man shall see
God.
Sunday night the subject
eagerly awaited by all, "Dry
Bones" was all that was claimed
for it. The dry bones the people
saw in the valley representing
the spiritual condition Of natural
Israel. truly indicates the natural
condition of spiritual Israel, the
church Of today. The consoling
thought derived is that no mat
ter how far from God we may
stray or how dried up we may be
spiritually God can resurect us.
Berea's vested choir, Maurice
Small, director, rendered selec-
tons.
The theme will be continued at
the worship hour this Sabbath
and Sunday night the subject
will be "Who is Your Fataer?"
This may prove interesting for
some of us may have a father
whom we do net realize. Come
and hear this question answered
by God from His Holy Scripture.

The following resolutions on
human rights were passed by the
Womans Society Of Christian
service, Southeastern Jurisdic-
ton, Of the Methodist Church,
in annual session, March 4, ,948,
Orlando, Florida. No comment is
necessary.
AS never before in our his
tory, mankind is bound together
in a sErunken world. The disor-
ders Of our segment affect the
whole. The old and familiar are
passing. The new is being born
everywhere Eyes Of the whole
world are focused with hope on
United States. a democracy with
go million professed followers Of
Christ.
we cannot fail to lead the
way in securing human rights
for the peoples of the world, in
Guiding all people within our own
borders. The basic Christian
faith which we profess will let us
do no less. The democracy which
breaches equality for all men
must be demonstrated In action.
AS Christian women of the
Methodist Church in the South
eastern Jurisdiction Woman's
Society Of Christian Service we
call ourselves and the vast con-
stituency from which we have
come, to repentance for our sins
and a renewal of our commit
nlent to the task of making
Christian principles live in this
nation.
Therefore, as specific and inn
mediate steps in this direction,
We recommend the following:
4. That Methodist women
acquaint themselves with the
content and full implications OF
the report Of the Presidents
Committee on Civil Rights by
studies, discussions, and practi-
cal action to implement same in
this community and nation.

NEW YORK N. Paul Robe

ried hi mas far as Hawaii and

noon concert at Mother Zion
A. M. E. Church, April 4, that
packed the house. He was as
sisted by the Fleur de Lis Choral
Ensemble, contributing spirituals,
Clyde Turner, director.
Mr.. Robson opened his pro-
gram with Lord God of Abra-
ham" by Mendelssohn continuing
with two Egyptian songs followed
by Cutters "Over the Mountain"
and his encore, "Oh No John" ell
cited thunderous applause.
During the first intermission the
Ensemble composed mostly of
Mother Zion members and nine
famous choirs sang three moving
spirituals - "Ain't That Good

UNIT will turn our boys over

officers, mostly poisoned with the

having their spirits broken.

CHRISTIAN WOMEN FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
By REV WILLIAM c. HERMAN

By REV. WILLIAM c. HERMAN

q. That every effort be made
to make the South, the nation
as a whole and the world know
that Christian women Of the
South oppose any effort, political
or otherwise, to block progressive
moves toward the achievement
of Civil Rights for all people in
this nation, including millions
of citizens in this Southland. We
call upon the Conferences, dis
tricts and local groups to stand
up and be counted for human
freedom.
3. That Methodist women
work for Federal and state leg
islation to guarantee Civil Rights
to the people of this nation.
"a. Applications to institu-
tons Of higher learning in many
Southern states are being made
by colored students, desiring
special training and instruction.
Sensing the impracticability of
establishing regional schools, the
exorbitant and unnecessary ex-
pense which would be incurred,
the UNI Christian principle Of dis
elimination which would be per-
petuated, we recommend:
That we work to implement
the Supreme Court ruling rela-
tive to admission Of all individu-
ais, regardless of race or creed,
to educational institutions for
graduate training in our schools,
both church and state controlled.
IS. That we look also to our
practices in the WomenS Society
of Christian Service and the
Methodist Church, seeking to re-
move every barrier that separ-
ates members Of the family of
God in the Methodist Church,
and to build Christian fellow
ship where ideas. experiences,
facilities, and action programs
may be shared with freedom on
a basis Of full participation"

SHALL WE SELL OUR BIRTH
RIGHT FOR A MESS OF
PoTTAGE?

The Truman foreign policy
would scare the American peo-
pie into the adoption of the
Universal Military Training Bill
now being considered by Con-
gress. 1t is a measure of war
hysteria imposed by brass hats
and Wall Street, It's passage
would uproot our young men
from their normal relationships
of family, church school and
community, and put them at the
mercy Of our war machine. That
moment we yield our youth to be
trained and guided in their
thinking by our Army is the
fateful day this nation decides
to travel the road of Fascism.
To adopt compulsory military
training in times Of peace would
be to turn our backs on being by
tradition a peace-loving people
not coveting other nations lands
and military bases and not try
ing to to impose upon other
peoples our ideas of running
their domestic affairs. Economic
and social recovery in Europe
and Asia are desirable ends but
do we need universal conscrip-
ton to bring it about? The mill
tary experts generally predict
that not men but machines, not
bullets but bombs will decide the
next war. Then why so suddenly
reverse long standing policy?
Big Business could stand to Prof
it. Men with white collar Jobs
would have opportunities for lu-
crative Jobs as Army officers.

Thank You, Oh God

There times nthe lives of each of us,
When life cold, dull and gray,
When the days and nights pass torturingly by
And we know not the way.
When things go wrong and our hearts aching
When we wonder if life is worthwhile,
Suddenly, like gallant knight seeking great victory,
We perk up to fight the battling
We think and think and finally say
What is to he, will be-"

That will help to find ourselves.
