Racism And High Finance

Buried in the financial pages of many American
aily~newspapers last week little item from Lon
don England which carried world of significance for
today
The government of the Union of South Africa
which is headed by the notorious, anti-Negro, hate
monger Dr. Malan got shock the London stock
change.
The South African government sought to float
bond issue for ten million pounds % million dollars
in money The press dispatches from London stated
that English investors refused to buy because they
frightened by the present policies of the government
A spokesman for the London exchange indicated
that the racial platform upon which DR.. Malan
elected and is being pushed by the natonaists in
power may upset the whole economy of South Africa.
The South Africa securities therefore do not represent
a good risk in the worlds money markets today
This is a most interesting development. World
opinion is definitely against the program of racism
being persued by the South African. Dr. Malan and
his crowd insist that what they do in their own coun
try IS nobodys business but their They do not
reckon with the fact that their nationalist program
would be affected by the which they treated
the natives This good lesson for the hate
mongers in South Africa and everywhere else. White
supremacy is longer good business in the modern
world.
The only disturbing element in the situation, how
ever the fact that the United States may
be induced to give this radical Hitherto state hand
some loan from our treasury We hope that our leader
ship raises its voice against any help to Dr. Maan and
his government. We cannot permit American tax dol
lars to subsidze regime that is just antidemocratc
as Russia and the late Naz empire of Adoph Hitler.

HIS WORD
BY Archbishop W.D.C. Johnson

BY Archbishop W.D.C. Johnson
Then verify the first covenant
had also ordinances of divine SER
vice, and a worldly sanctuary. For
there was tabernacle made. The
first wherein was the candlestick
and table, and the slew bread ;
which is called the sanctuary, and
after the second vail, the holiness
tabernacle, which is called the
hottest of all; which had the gold
en- censor and the book of the COW
enant over laid round about with
gold. Wherein was the golden pot,
that had mama, and Aaron's rod
that budded; and the tables of the
covenant; and over it the cheru-
bine of glory, shadowing the mercy
seat, of which we cannot now
speak, particularly now, when these
things were thus ordained.
The priests went always into the
first tabernacle; accomplishing the
service of God. But into the sec
ond went the high Priest alone,
once every year. Not without blood,
which he offered for himself, and
for the errors of the people.
The Holy Ghost, this signifying
that the way into the hottest of
all was yet not made manifest,
while as the first tabernacle was
yet standing; which was a figure
for time, then present, in which
were offered both gifts and sacri-
fees, that could not make him
that did the service perfect.
AS pertaining to the conscience
which stood only in meats and
drinks, and divers washings, and
carnal ordances imposed on them
until the time of reformation.
But Christ being come an high
Priest of good things, to come by
a greater and perfect tabernacle,
not made with hand; that is to say
not of this building.
All things that the father hath
are mine. Amen.

ST James Orthodox Church, 451

New York City - Have you
started writing those unlimited
Resolutions" which every N w
Year, somebody will do? A little
ahead of the time you might say,
but what difference does it make
when the Resolutions seem to stay
ahead of their time when it comes
to keeping them. Smile.
Why not just forget about the
Resolving and just DO better if
that's your aim, or continuing on
with the good work would be the
right way, don't you think?
Do your all toward making the
world a better place in which to
live where you will do your part
toward making others happy and
surely towards making situations
better in -four own home, communi-
ty, and elsewhere that you might
chance to travel.
Begin to give the praises and
flowers to the living right in your
own household and in your COM
munity. Pay the tributes to the
living such as Lady Bethune who
for fifteen years struggled to make
NCNW what it is today. Stick
behind her successor as President
and keep it what it was - only
moving along with the times as
Lady Bethune would have done.
Help her to enjoy seeing someone
else carry on as President of
NCNW. 1t is your NCNW and it
is up to you to continue on in the
finest way as we know you
will do.
Let 1850 be a year of bigger
and better things through LOVE,
cooperation, unselfish service, faith
in yourself and others, and thank
fulness. 1t can be done if you will
do it, and with SO many counting
on you, you must meet the chal-
lenge with smile since you know
that Divine Guidance never leaves
you alone.

Negroes Appear

fanfare or lambasting Negro per-

The audience as well as the To-
cal newspapers and radio stations
treated the event as merely another
show with no emphasis on the
Negroes III the group or the ac-
-companist.
In the past the OARS have re-
ceived headline publicity over their
refusal to allow famous Negro
artists, such as Marian Anderson
and Hazel Scott, to perform II
concert at the hall. However, de-
spite its highly-heralded Jim Grow
policies in the hall, the OAR group
did allow Negroes in the audi

Norfolk Children
Die In Home Blast

NORFOLK, VA. Two small
children lost their lives in a fire
that started when an oil stove ex-
ploded in their home shortly before
2 p. m. here Tuesday December 6.
The victims either burned to death
or suffocated at their residence in
the 700 block of Stafford Street in
the Berkeley section of Norfolk.
The young victims were identi-
fled as Carroll Ellis Towe, 2 and
Shirley Elizabeth Towe, 5. Detec-
tive Sgt. L. l.. Jones who investi-
gated the tragedy said the mother,
Mrs. Evelyn Towe, widow was
visiting in a residence across the
street at the time of the explosion.
1t appeared that the children fled
to an upstairs bedroom and shut
the door when the explosion oc-
Cured, however, the flames spread
through the wooded structure to
their retreat on the second floor.
| The detectives said both bodies
were badly burned.
The blaze caused little damage
to the house except from the in
side and comparative little dam
Iage to the second floor. Though the
blaze was put out in a short time
after the arrival of the fire de-
partment, the children had already
died.
The death of the two brings the
total number of deaths by fire
within one month in the city te
flour.

In the little town of Bethlehem 1949 years ago, on
December 25 according to the Christmas Story child
born.
OVershadowed in many respects by the Legend of
the Miraculous Birth is the essential fact that the
birth of the child symbolized the birth of world
idea. philosophy of life and living
The central of the world idea, the
philosophy of life and living symbolized in the birth of
Christ i2 the fact that all men equal in life and
DEATH and the creative fact of the Fatherhood of God
and the Brotherhood of man.
The most foreboding and perhaps tragic fact of
this 1949 Christmas despite two terrible World Wars
fought during the lifetime of generations yet alive to
free the world from such solely besettng ills, is the
fact that yet everywhere evidenced by sefseeking
politicians and organized hate groups stirring racial
and religious dscord and almost universal dscrmina-
ton of against man. it appears that mankind has
almost completely lost sight of the central and
meaning of Christmas the understanding and practice
of which is the only foundation upon which to build
Peace Earth and Good Will Among Men.
In this Atomic Age and at this Christmas time
1949 years after His sojourn earth how we'll would

And Praises Sing To God The King
