Parish STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: | remember a long time
ago, when the Preachers that are
generally referred to as old timey
now use to preach a lot of SER
mons about folks talking about
one another, which is listed as the
worst habit of Aunt Haggar's
Chilluns. | was sitting down over
my Fish and Beer in MY favorite
spot watching and listening to the
folks that you never see up and
down the Old Avenue until Satur-
day night, when | caught the tale
end of conversation that must
have been based on some unsavory
remark about somebody. What |
heard was brother saying, Well,
what | says to that is, let him who
is without SIGH sins throw the first
brick. / been wondering how much
folks talking about folks has had
to do with the growing number of
killings of Aunt Haggar's Chilluns
by Aunt Haggar's Chilluns. And
with that on my mind / thought
about one of the Old Time Parish
Streeters who told me one time
that if you put everything together
that Aunt Haggar's Chilluns have
killed one another for since the
beginning of time it all together
wouldn't be worth as much as a
half peck of that money that they
had in Germany one time that took
a bushel basket full to buy a MCKEE
loaf of bread. And like everybody
else I've been getting more and
more worried over how we are kill
ing one another. I've read lot
about what everybody has been
saying about how to stop such
doings. And outside of the Flee
trio Chair, and few more of them
$4,000 bonds, I've been figuring
how to get such doings stopped
myself. After | heard that fellow
remark Let them that is without
sin throw the first brick, / figured
that lot can be done by the New
Style Preachers, first to stop Aunt
Haggar's Chilluns from talking a.
bout one another. and then to stop
them from throwing the first brick,
which now means slashing, stab
bing, and shooting, and mayhem
and murder. And this can be done
by the new style preachers telling
Aunt Haggar's Chilluns more from
the Pulpit about what the Bible
means in asking the question AM
l MY BROTHERS KEEPER, and
what The Lord was talking about
the day when he told a crowd of
would be brick throwera LET
HIM WHO is WITHOUT SIN
CAST THE FIRST STONE.

Lesson for October 9, 1949
MEMORY SELECTION
"Cease to do evil; learn to do
we'll" = Isaiah L: 1911.
Lesson Text: Isaiah 1: 11-18;'
Jeremiah 7: 81
Isaiah, as illustrated by the
words of the lesson text, condemn
ed hypocritical worship. just as
his predecessors had done Amos
said: 81 hate, / despise your past,
and l will take no delight in your
solemn assemblies j.. But let JUS
tice roll down as waters and right
eousness as mighty stream"
Hosea said: 81 desire goodness,
and not sacrifice, and the knowl-
edge of God more thar burnt Of
ferings." Micah said: "He hath
showed thee, o man, what is good;
and what doth Jehovah require of
thee but to do justly, and to love
kindness, and to walk humbly with
thy God?
Our lesson text repeats the
same refrain. Speaking through
Isaiah Jehovah says, 81 have had
enough of the burnt offerings of
rams, and the fat of Fed beasts;
your new moons and your appoint
ed feasts my soul hateth 4. When
We make many prayers, | will not
hear; Your hands are full of blood.
Wash you, make you clean; put
away the evil of your doings from
before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
learn to do well; seek justice; re-
lieve the oppressed, judge the
fatherless, plead for the widow. eff
We be willing and ohedient, we
shall be devoured with the sword"
Isaiah was clearly called to be
the prophet of holiness" says
Prof. Alexander R. Gordon. "His
task was to make the vision of
Gods holiness as real and effec-
tive in the national life as it had
proved in his own" Isaiah as the
most regal of the prophets" says
Prof. John Edgar McFadden. "His
words and thoughts are those of a
man whose eyes had seen the King

The Lesson OF Columbus
By RUTH TAYLOR

Behind him lay the gray Azores,
Behind the Gates of Hercules;
Before him not the ghost of shores,
Before him only shoreless seas"
So begins Joaquin Mllers great poem on Columbus

Columbus had only belief by which to SAIL He set
out into an unknown ocean, which the fears of more

his seconds in command envious that this foreigner
should be placed over them.
All he had was an dea-a plan which new, and
which wise swore could never be carried out. But
he did it, He set his straight ahead and stuck
to it. The monsters did not appear-but unforeseen
hardships did. The ships were becamed for days in
