Observations

The program Of sthe Creator,
Who is creating perfect Uni
verse, is, necessarily, evolution
This unit of His Universe is filled
with His Instruments, bringing it
to the perfection in His Divine
blue print. We are not all equal
in any respect. Some are stand
patters, not wishing to know
anything that they do not al
ready know, the results Of the
analyses of forebearS. Some pro-
fess to be against everything, and
think that they are impeding the
program of the Omnipotent. In
my book, we are all serving pur-
poses of the Creator as long as
we live. He is Omnipotent, and
no man, no group of men, no
nation can even stop the tempo
of His creative program. 1t seems
foolish to think we can. Along
all lines He has permitted to
do good job while in this flesh,
l believe that the Greater will
reckons time, before he does.
Are you trail blazer, stand
patter or an obstructioniSt in
your musical activities? If you
operate, it will pay the operator
to think of these things. No man
has ever reached perfection, and
it will be countless ages, as man
will be done. Music is one Of
the activities He has permitted
us, and it is, to my mind, a num-
Der on the program of eternity.
However, it is His will, and it
give you a more responsible job
after you lay down the flesh. In
earthly programs, workers who
become assets to the concern are
promoted to better jobs with
more pay. This is worth your
while to ponder.

DANIEL A. PAYNE, PIONEER
CHRISTIAN EDUCATOR
(1g1I- I903l

Most sanity souls are remenl-
bered by their great sermons;
Daniel A. Payne by his great
lessons. One example Of this
was his visit to suburban COM
munity of Columbia, Tenn, called
Macedonia. In those days there
was always water shortage. All
water had to be hauled. He
gave this community an unfor-
gettable lesson on the sin of
wasting one dipper of water, We
want you to meet Bishop Payne,
a pioneer Christian educator. He
is diamond of many facets.
This thumbnail sketch can do no
more than suggest him as an
educator. for as such he is bril-
liant.
The value Of education was
flashed to him as young man
when being considered for a
position with West Indian
planter where intelligence was
required for an out-of-door bust
ness. The planter asked him,
"Do you know what makes the
difference between the master
and the slave.-Nothing but SUI
perior knowledge" From that
moment he tells in his sketch Of
the young School Master" he
purposed in his heart, in spite
of handicaps, to acquire this SUI
perior knowledge. Having sue
ceeded, he wanted the masses
of black folks to gain something
of this superior knowledge and
saw that the key to the masses
was an educated ministry His
was a voice crying in the wilder
ness, for excessively emotional
preaching then as now was riding
in the saddle. He considered

THE GALVESTON WONDER
Jack johnson, lived to ripe ole
age thus disproving many wild
antics written about him. He
was always in trim condition
with hardly ring mark TO show
that he held the title from 1908
until the Cuba bout in 1915. He
started boxing as a spar-mate at
Revere Beach in 1896 and fought
his last bout at Montreal in 1924;
% ring years!
a.
THE QUESTION always crops
up as to how long a man Of
champion calibre can remain in
the ring. If Johnson's record is
any yard-stick, Joe Louis still
has some years to go. He still
can punch with either hand al
though his legs are slower. Still
there is tragedy in an old champs
comeback. Jim Jeffries found
that out when he challenged
johnson.
THE BROWN BOMBER is be-
ginning to see lot about Jack
Johnson, the first colored heavy
weight champ, which he, in his
youth never realized before.
Louis was taught to dispise the
all Texan who was barred from
he Bomber camp. Johnson was

so TODAY we have different

BLACK DYNAMITE" the
complete history OF colored Amer

me as a Christmas gift in 1888
by the author and world famous
ring authority, Nat Fleisoher, on
The pen introduction Of the New
England ring sage, Doc Amy.
AS is customary at this time, we
suggest these action packed
books as a worthy Christmas
rift at your nearest book store.
JOE LOUIS, retired heavy
weight champion, may don the
boxing gloves again In 1850 for
crack at the worlds title. If so,
Louis will be duplicating the role
Of retired champion JIM JEFF
FRIES who was hauled out of
mothballs to Save" boxing from
Jack johnson at Nevada, July 4,
1910.
EZRA CHARLES has not helped
the heavyweight gate. He has
not been the same since his
punches accidently killed an
opponent, a factor which also
affected Max Baer after his fight
with Boston's Ernie Schaaf.
Moreover, the rival boxing in
terests have chilled Charles ,
chances. His own drab style has
chilled the fans. Mediocre oppo-
sition has made the fans i'm
patient tor more action.

BOXING CONTRAST between
retired champions Jim Jeffries
and Joe Louis is that Jeffries
was called in to save boxing
from 'cclor" in the form of race,
while Louis may be called back
to save boxing from LACK Of
color, in the terms of money at
the gate. Race does not enter
into the deal at all, and it never
should have in 1910.

JACK JOHNSON, as events
turned out, put plenty of cash

ranks. And money flowed free

cold storage abroad and returned
it to the United States in a near
