The Word of God presents
the Lord, the Coming Messiah,
as being "full of compassion"
The God of love, the God of
justice, the God of mercy, the
God of hope, is also the God
of compassion. The word ''com-
passion" has the meaning of
bearing the sorrow and suffer-
ing of others; and expresses
itself in pity, mercy, condo
lence, and sympathy. It has
been rightly said, "There new
er was a heart truly great and
generous that was not also ten
der and compassionate" Com
passion was indeed an out
standing attribute of our bless
ed Lord. No other understood
so keenly the sufferings of
those in trouble; and no other
was as ready and able to al
leviate those sufferings. When
He saw the afflicted multi
tudes, He had compassion up
on them; when He saw their
need of food, when He beheld
them as sheep without true
shepherds, He had compassion
on them. This Lesson sets forth
Jesus great spirit of compass
sion as manifested in the rails
ing of the widows son from
the dead, thus turning deep
sorrow into gladness and joy.

The incident of the raising

miracle took place the next day
after Jesus had left Caper-
naum, where He had healed
the leper and the centurion's
servant. Jesus perfectly prac-
ticed the motto quite preva-
lent today, "Do a good deed
every day." for He did many
good deeds each day. His en-
tire ministry was one of 'go-
ing about doing good" AS Je-
sus, with His disciples, ap-
preached the little town of

''Bias Against Students
Federal Law Violation
|46 School Heads Told

LEXINGTON, Va, April 90
(ANP)-Top officials of 46 lead
ing southern colleges and univer-
sites, attending the annual meet
ing Of the Southern University
Conference, were told here last
Wednesday that institutions prac-
ticing racial segregation among
students are violating federal
law"
The declaration was made by
DR.. George F. Zook, chairman of
President Truman's Advisory
Commission on Higher Education,
and president, American Council
on Education. He was in the
city as a delegate to the nicenten-
NAL celebration of the founding of
Washington and Lee university.
He told the conference that the
Presidents commission had con-
demned the practice of racial seq
regation in principle" recommen-
ded estate law providing for seq
regation in education be repealed"
and urged "the Individual institu-
tions to lead the way in giving it
up"
However, he noted that several
of the state universities in the
south have modified, at least in
a small way, their previous prac-
tice of segregation" He cited
the case of the universities of
Kentucky and Missouri as an ex-
ample.
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1949-04-20

Charles MaHoney, Boston univer-
sity student, testified that after
a controversial talk on discrimina-
ton to a group of students, college
authorities argued that unfair dis
elimination could not be ended by
individual schools.
Affidavits attesting that differ
ent schools in Boston had turned
down applicants because they were
Negroes, were submitted to the
legislative committee.
None the less, official repre-
sentatives of Harvard, NIT, and
Williams stated that passage of
the measure would not necessarily
insure the attainment of the OBJ
j%ectives. Each representative as
serted that his institution had a
good policy for admitting students
A resolution calling for pas
sage of the bill was approved by
the Boston City council.

Opinions Differ on
Education Bias


BOSTON, MASS April TO-
scores of educators, lawyers,
clergymen, and legislators appear
ed here before the Legislative
Committee on Education last week
to support a senate-sponsored bill
to insure equality of opportunity
for all in obtaining a college edu-
cation.
Those ~favoring the measure in
cluded Sen. Charles L. Taylor Of
Boston, DR.. Emory S. Buckle, edi-
tor of lions Herald, and Judge
David 1. Rose, representing the
Anti-D Defamation league of B'nai

Charging Massachusetts, schools
with discrimination, Judge Rose
related an incident in which a
Jewish applicant and a non-Jewish
applied for entrance to Boston
university, the non-Jew was urged
to "meet with the secretary of. ad-
MISSIONS while the Jew was ad-
vised further instruction will be
given"
Prof. Walter Palmer of Sim
mons and Prof. Perry Miller of
Harvard, also stated discrimina-
ton existed in the states colleges.
Henry C. Berlin, president of the
Massachusetts Committee for
Equal Opportunity in Education;
Bishop Norman Nash and Bishop
John Wesley Lord were all record
in fovor of the bill.
Edward l.. Schoenberg Of the
American Jewish congress, in his
testimony, said it was difficult to
find concrete evidence of discrim-
nation and hit out at the practice
of colleges asking questions about
religion, color, and mothers maid
Ell name on application blanks. 1t
was charged that of 143 colleges
and universities in Massachusetts,
60 percent of the applications con-
tanned questions considered dis
criminatory.
Herbert E. Tucker of the
NAACP warned that the present
situation was filled with clip SER
vice and taken evidence of fair
play" He maintained that "dis-
elimination is a scandal on the
community"
A Smith college student pre-
sented a petition signed by $50
students supporting the measure.

Hawaii BacksDef
Of'Tfenton Six


HONOLULU, April 20.-(AN
P)-Hawaiian advocates Of civil
rights, aroused by the case of the
Trenton Six who are now facing
death for allegedly numbering a
second hand furniture dealer have
sent a resolution to Gov. Driscoll
of New Jersey asking freedom for
the six Negroes and also a cash
contribution to the, Civil Rights
congress to aid in appealing the
conviction.
The civil rights organization
here is the Hawaii Civil Liberties
committee with a membership
composed of Negroes, Mainland
whites, Japanese, Chinese, Filipin-
os, Puerto Ricans, Portuguese and
native Hawaiians. Little more
than a year old, it has come to
the aid of those who have. felt
discrimination because Of color,
economic status or political be-
liefs. 1t has also Investigated an
ti-Negro prejudice and has fought
for enactment Of a civil rights
law by the territorial legislature.
The story of the Trenton Six,
called the Northern Scottsboro
case", was presented to the HCLC
by Frank Marshall Davis of the
Associated Negro Press who told
how testimony proved the COM
plete innocence of the convicted
men and how their conviction had
aroused Europeans who had
formed committees for their aid.
o. John Royce and Earl B. Dick
erson are handling the appeal,
Davis said.
In it's resolution, passed unan-
imously, the HCLC stated:
"This conviction, in view of the
complete lack of evidence and on
the basis of confessions wrung
from those Negroes by torture and
drugs, is a complete violation of
the civil rights program which
the nation endorsed by electing
President Truman to office last
November"
After pointing out this case is
ssstill another example of the long
and abhorrent list of injustices
perpetrated upon the Negroes of
America in distinct opposition to
the doctrine of equality contained
in the Constitution" the resolu-
ton stated, eve Americans of the
