SERMONETTE
WE ARE DEBTORS TO
The Statesrnan

Let every soul be In subjec-
ton to the higher powers; for
there Is no power but of God;
and the powers that be are or
dalned of God. Therefore he that
resisteth the power, with standeth
the ordinance of God: and they
that withstand shall receive to
themselves Judgment. For rulers
are not a terror to the good work,
but to the evil. And wouldst
thou have no fear of the power
do that which is good, and thou
shalt have praised from the same:
for he Is a minister Of God to
thee for good. Romans 10: Ia
We owe a debt to the states
man. Paul found the Roman gov
eminent helpful many times dur
ing his travels. At the time Paul
wrote his letter to the Romans,
the church found security in the
justice which the state offered.
Only a few years later Paul made
his appeal to Caesar.
Late in life Paul came to know
of the unfriendliness and persecu-
cution of the state, and no doubt
would have amended the text of
this meditation. He would have
known of the destructive ends
towards which the empire moved
for it was drunken with the
blood of the saints"
The state as Paul has indicated
is balanced on the side of good.
It's benefits are manifold. In our
generation with good statesman
ship it will be possible for human
ity to effect a world organization
making war utterly impossible. II
this be true, then we owe a debt
beyond calculation to those who
will make the dream of millions
dead and the yearning of millions
living come true. Here We must
pay our debt by active support
and sacrifice.

ARTIST VISITS The CHILDREN OF HAWAII

should be taught these simple
things:- that skin darkness is
erely physical protection
against the powerful rays Of the
sun, that through science, we
know the brain is the same in all
races, just varying only In In
diyiduals, that the white race in
the world is a minority and a
young race. This white race has
a wonderful thing called science,
which can be used to build or
destroy, that the world is full
mostly of the dark race. The old
est and finest civilization belong
to them, and that they under
stood science long ago. When chill
dren everywhere are taught these
things, a glorious epoch will be
ahead.
My first school recital In the
Hawaiian Islands was held on the
spacious ground of Washington
intermediate school. I danced for
the students a drama, which was
a synthesis on Negro life and art
in America in its various mani
festations. knew such a pre-
sentation would be of value to the
students, when they read their
American history concerning the
Negro and slavery. Many believe
that the Negroes, who were seized
and brought to America as slaves
were savage, not knowing they
were hand picked from the tribe.
The strong were picked; they
made good workers. They were
also great artists, full OF depth
and imagination. Could a savage
have created the beautiful Ne
gro spirituals?
Framed in an exuberant trop-
ical foliage, was ready to be-
gin my dance? The sun was In
tense that afternoon. Its power
was felt through my costume,
which chung close to my body,
making my movements slow, with
each thought in my dance greatly
pronounced. I was repeating some
of the words of the drama.
"Three hundred years ago in AT
rica's brightly hued land, l walked
along the slowly winding mile,
planting seed for bread"-"landed
at last slave, an exile in an alien
land"-"There was yet another
faith that l held by, faith in edu-
cation" While l danced to these
and other words telling Of the his
tory suffering and sustaining faith
Of the Negro people, my eyes
wandered absorbingly over my
audience. looked into their
faces and saw their fixed eyes
watching every rhythmic move
ment and plastic pose of the
dance. The intense sun was now
a luscious stimulant.
