Industrial
Looking Glass

What this observer believes to be
one of the mmost sensible statements
made by Negro leadership on the mat
ter of indignation into our industrial
economy was voiced by youthsdl Flo
rida A. M. College head William Crazy
in remarks at a recent industrial con-
ference.
In discussing the efficacy off FEPC
legislation, the young administrator
said, "The advocacy off Fair Employ
ment Practice Commission law should
be accompanied by program develo-
ping readiness of attitude among en-
ployers. Similarly, it should be under
stood that in a democracy no legis-
lative act can protect inefficiency
among individuals. The non-passage
of Fanr Employment legislation max
es an educational program even more
mandatory"
There is no doubt but that one of the
full enactment of lesigation SAFE
guar ling the employment potential
tiles o. the Negroes worker is the
disregard of the employers view
point and the consequent lack OF IN
terpretive education that would en-
able greater feXibility in the mind-set
of the business leader. When grea-
ter degree OF objectiYvity can be at
ainet in the approach by Negro lea
dership to the industrial head, then
will the matter of selling him" be-
come closer to reality.
What strides have been made in
those areas where there has not been
any legislation are for the most part
due to the efforts % the conscientious
and progressive elements on both 81
des Of the table who have agreed to sit
together and become mutually aware of
the problems which they must ace up
to and determine the most practical
course Cf action.
Most often, the eye-opening impact
is felt by the employer, whose pre-
vious knowledge ot the potentialities
of the Negro worker has been distor
ted by preIonditioned and unreason-
able factors of which he may not have
been aware. When the processes as
suggested by DR.. Gray are brought in
to play, the entire industrial pattern
can be widespread adaptation.

Take Ye Awoy the Stone"

Jesus had finally come to Beth
any. The weeping sisters - Mary
and Martha-and a crowd of people
stood before the grave where Laza-
rus lay. Jesus himself wept as he
stood in the presence of his dead
friend, though he had the power,
and in a few moments used it, to
raise him up. "Take We away the
stone" was his command. The stone
must be rolled away. Could not
Jesus, with the word of his mouth,
do that? AS we'll do that as do a
greater thing = raise the dead?
Yes, he could have; but it was not
his will to do so. "Take We away
the stone" Human instrumentality
must be used where a greater than
a human is not required.
AS long as the stone was not
rolled away, there was no joy such
as was to be had by the resurrec-
ton of this dead brother. Just a
stone between them and their live
brother. Just stone between them
and the greatest joy they had
known. Just a stone, just a stone.
The stone must be rolled away be-
fore victory for them. Is it not
true that many times we go with
out blessings because we will not
go much as turn our hands to roll
away whatever might be between us
and the coveted goal? With us, it
may be some lack of decision, some
negligence, some pet sin; anything.
Jesus says, roll away the stone"
Joy comes in service. The rod for
the back of those who demur; bless
ings upon those who follow. Let
us. take We away the stone" and
see if Lazarus will not come forth

PRAYER
w. A. CUMMINGS

I wish to call attention of every
follower of the Lord Jesus Christ
to the Importance of prayer in these
evil days of unrest the world over.
We must pray. 1t must take it's
place in our hearts and lives.
have made up my mind that 1 need
time alone with God: that comes
first. Everything else has to be
secondary. That is the only way I
can know God. Walk with God and
have fellowship with God. That's
the only way the word becomes
tations are cut up by the roots;
the only way I can over come the
flesh and be a decent Christian. is
to pray and pray daily. I'll tell you
my friends, if you are not a pray
ing man or woman, your life is de-
feated You have no joy, you are
lacking in assurance. The flesh is
overcoming you. Temptations are
failing you, you are not victorious.
The Word of God isn't sweet to you
and you certainly are not winning
any souls to the Lord Jesus Christ.
How we need to pray, to wait on
the Lord, it isn't easy. You will
never find time to pray, you must
fight for it. Place it first on your
it whatever happens. Your life then
will be changed. Any life will be
lost for the days activities and do
changed that will spend just thirty
minute alone with God. Notice the
men of the Bible Abraham, the
great friend of God, was a man of
prayer. Moses, a praying man, David
was a man after Gods own heart
and he was a praying man. The
only way to be great with God is
through humble, prayer, and seek my
face and turn from their wicked
ways, then will I hear from heaven
and will forgive their sins, will
heal their Land" Chron. TIA. May
God bless every reader and may
all become more prayerful in the
Christian life.

IF ! Could Only Surely
Know"

If I could only surely know
That all these things that tire me
so
Were noticed by my Lord
The pang that cuts me like knife,
The lesser pains of daily life,
The noise. the WEAKNESS, the strife
What peace it would afford.
I wonder if He really shares
In all my little human cares
This mighty King of Kings.
If He who guides through bound
less space
Each blazing planet III its place
Can have the condescending grace
To mind these petty things.
1t seems to me, if sure of this,
Blent with each i'll would come such
bless
That I might covet pain;
And deem whatever brought to me
The loving throb of Deity
And sense of Christ's sweet sym
patty,
Not less, but richest gain.
Dear Lord! my heart shall no more
doubt
That Thou dost compass me about
With sympathy divine!
The Love for me once crucified
Is not the Love to leave my side,
But waiteth ever to divide
Each smallest care Of mine.

Caution should be observed ln
mulching perennials and biennials
which hold their green leaves
above ground all winter. These
plants can be severely damaged or
even killed by covering them with
q layer Of straw or similar mate
rial. Such plants as Canterbury
bells, fox gloves, Oriental peoples,
violas, pansies, English daisies and
forget-me-nots have leaves that
should stay green during the winter
