 Action of the American Bowling Congress at its recent convention in retaining its rule, notwithstand- ing Father Carow's representations, caused Msgr. Raymond J. Campion, chaplain of the Council and pastor of St. Peter Claver's Church, to urge Catholics to take practical stand against such examples of interracial discrimination.
 Actually the freedom we boast as every Americans precious right and heritage is at this moment lar gely denied to our Negro fellow Americans.

Anti-Draft Group Asks More Negroes In Service

WASHINGTON:- The National Council Against Conscription sug- gested this week that the armed forces could increase their man power supply by changing their attitude on Negroes.
 The Council distributed a pam phlet saying, The rigid 10 per cent ceiling on Negroe enlistments and the injustices within the segrega- ted military forces create a road block"
 It called the Russell-Maybank amendment to the Senate draft bill "an essentially Fascist idea. The amendment would permit members of the armed forces to serve only with members of their own race if they wished.
 "Army divisions composed en- tirely of those who believe they be- long to a superior race would be dangerous o America" the council said It quoted the war time Negro press as reporting that "segrega- ton :. barred suspicion, sullen dis trust, hatreds and widespread vio, lence."

April 80, 1913.

April 80, 1913.
Mrs. E. w. Haines, Editor,
The Montgomery County Sentinel,
Rockville, Maryland.
Dear Mrs. Haines:
Montgomery County is one of
the loveliest places on earth Il
speak as an experienced traveler)
and it would be tragic to turn it
into a sordid community.
Brooke Johns proposal to hold
legalized lotteries shocked me deep
ly, and l have been hoping that
you would be deluged with letters
of protest.
We humans have good and bad
instincts. Probably our worst in
stinct is greed. 1t is the cause of
wars and most other evils. 1t is
that instinct = the desire to get
something for nothing--that lot
teries foster and encourage. That
is the exact opposite of the Chris
Lian ideals of service and mutual
helptulness for which our country
is supposed to stand. 1t is no credit
to Montgomery County that the.
once held lottery. 1t is creditable
that they had the good judgment
never to hold another.
1t is a matter Of history that the
United States took over the Ha-
waiian Islands from their native
rulers on the theory that the Ha-
waiian Queen intended to establish
lotteries, thus demoralizing the
people. Now, the superficial think.
ers of this locality promote the evil
on the pretext that it will do some
good. The good done is always in
finitesmally small compared to the
harm. For instance:
The Panamanian minister pleni-
potentiary to Rome and Switzer-
land = very able, conscientious
and charming gentleman, gradu-
ate of the University of Pennsyl-
vania--told General McSherry last
summer, that lotteries had been
the greatest possible detriment to
Panamanian progress. The citizens
of Panama spend their money on
lottery tickets, rather than for
farm implements, home improve

ments, or even for needed clothing
and medicine. Panamanian news
papers feature the few people who
"get rich quick" never mentioning
the many thousands who might
have thriving farms or construc-
tive businesses except that the gov
ernment-operated lotteries get
their earnings by the false lure of
Something for nothing"
We make progress by facing
facts. Do we buy lottery tickets to
help hospital or a school? No!
Let's not kid ourselves. We'd send
a check if that was our chief mo-
tive. We buy lottery tickets only
because we want to enjoy what
somebody else has earned, without
any effort on our part. Is that the
sort of character we want to en-
courage in citizens of Montgomery
County? God forbid!
Hopefully,
ELISABETH j. McSHERRY.

HAPPY TIMES WITH THE BIBLE
GEOR Ezra had prepared his
l. heart to seek the law of the
Lord, and to do it, and to teach in
Israel statutes and judgments"
There was great need for a re-
vival Of religion, and Ezra knew
that there can be no real revival
until the people come back to God.
He therefore read to them the stat
utes and judgments. Ezra read
from the law Of Moses from morn
ing until midday. land the ears Of
all the people were attentive unto
the book of the law"
What would you think Of the
people being summoned into some
public place today to hear the
Bible read? But you say, we hear
it read over the radio. and we
hear it read in church. and we
sometimes hear it read in the home.
But do we hear it? And are our
ears really attentive?

WHAT is A RELIGIOUS
REVIVAL?


REVIVAL?
THIS lesson intends to reveal to
l. US how religious revival
broke out in Jerusalem in the long
ago, nearly 500 years before Christ
was born. Well may we ask, What is
a religious revival?
Lord, send a revival, and let It
begin in my heart" Revivals are
prayed down, not talked UP. We
have fallen into the fallacy of
speaking Of revivals when some
overnight spell-binder comes along
and kicks up big sensation. Be-
fore he leaves town, Pharisaism
is more rampant than ever. 1t is
not until the Spirit Of God moves
upon the hearts Of his people and
rekindles in them a sense OF sin,
bringing them to true repentance,
that we can have a real religious
revival. s
When men are convicted Of their
sins, they will say with Zacchaeus,
Lord. the half Of my goods | give
to the poor. and IL have taken
from any man by false accusation,
| restore him fourfold." When men
begin to feel and talk and act like
that, you have real religious re.
vival And | repeat, such revivals
are prayed down. not talked up.
Now you are ready to read Psalms
1896.

Officials Deny Reports
Venezuelan President
Is Held by Army Chiefs
Nv tha Associoisd prssx

CARACAS, Venezuela, Nov. a.
Official sources have denied that
President Romulo Gallegos has been
placed under house arrest by army
leaders.
(The report of Mr. Gallegos'
arrest came from Willemstad,
Curacao. It also said high-rank-
ing army officers had demanded
the presidents resignation and
formation of new coalition gov
ernment)
There were no unusual activities
last night in Caracas, where strict
censorship was in effect. 1t was
known, however, that Mr.. Gallegos
spent the day in the Presidential
Palace and received calls from gov
ernment officials and members of
his democratic action party.
Freedoms Suspended.
Details of the new presidential
order suspending constitutional
guarantees of freedom of press,
speech and political meetings were
outlined yesterday by Eligio Anzola,
minister of the interior.
He said all dispatches sent abroad,
as we'll as all domestic stories of a
political nature, will be subject to
review by q censorship board.
Anzola said no comments or news
stories on the decree itself will be
allowed and that the ban included
stories attempting to explain why
the decree was promulgated.
The interior minister said political
parties could function freely with
the exception of holding public
gatherings. He added that the au-
thorities would in due time explain
the reasons for such. extreme meas
ures.
Cites Estate of Alarm"
The decree issued by the President
Saturday said it was made necessary
by circumstances that have created
state of alarm which affects the
economic and social life of the ma
ton"
There have been rumors in Car
acas for several days that a political
crisis was brewing because some
groups felt they were not repre-
sented in the cabinet.
Mr.. Gallegos is Venezuela's first
directly elected president. His party
has strong union support. The op-
position has charged him with yield
ing to labor demands and not fight
ing imitation.
