The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1949-02-16

January marked the fifth an
nual worldwide Bible reading
sponsored by the Amer
lean Bible Society.
The primary purpose is to help
people establish a habit of daily
Bible reading.
The theme this year is THE
Book of All Nations.
None can ever prize II too well.
Deep i'm your heart
Let its pure precepts dwell.
Let us give wings to the Bible
Let us bind 1t to our hearts as
our most cherished treasure.
Almost coeval with this sun. its
fittest emblem, it has, like that
luminary, shed an uneeasing flood
of light on benighted and
wretched world.
He who formed the sun, gave
the Bible
To be "A lamp unit my feet
And a light TO my path"
Wherever it comes. blessings
follow in its train.
Wherever its influence is felt,
peace prevails.
The Holy Bible is our first line
of defense.
Prayer is the greatest unused
asset in the world.
Read IL carefully.
Think of il prayerfuIly.
Walk in the forests, on the
plains, by the complaining sea, in
the mountain ranges, where the
eternal snow nantes in spotless
purity. the loftiest SUBMITS of the
world, like natures vestments. on
the mighty affairs of the ever
living God.
Here on the vast cathedral
dome, not reared by mortal hands,
we must interpret and understand.
These enduring tokens have
sen the Chaldean shpherds watch
their flock. They saw the AS
syrian build Nineveh and Babylon,
and witnessed the fall of these
great cities in the last night of
tumultuous reyelry and drunken
riot.
The conquering legions of Cy-
rus and Persia passed in review
before them. They witnessed Al
exander's slaughtering march and
his death in distant Asia.
They stood on the picket line
of the ages, when Caesar fell be-
meath the hand of Brutus, In the
Roman senate chamber.
They saw Attila, the Hun, re-
treat after falling to crush h e
Christian world at Chalons.
The empire of Caesar is gone;
The legions of Rome are smol-
dering in the dust;
The avalanche that Napoleon
hurled upon Europe has
passed away;
The pride of the Pharaohs is
fallen;
The pyramids they erected to be
their tombs are sinking every
day in the desert sand;
frye is but a rock for bleach
ing fishermen's nets;
Sidon has scarcely left wreck
behind;
But the Bible still lives.
Tradition has dug for il many

Police Negligence
Blamed for Fires

CHICAGO, May 10. (ANP)-
The 20 arson fires which were Wis
tied upon the homes of Negroes
in Park Manor we're blamed upon
the negligence of policemen as
signed to guard the area, last
week. According to an investiga-
ton of incidents, the fires were
set as soon as arsonists learned
that patrolmen had left their posts
In addition it was disclosed that
at least Is of the blazes were ig-
nited when. patrolmen failed to re-
port for duty, that an unidentified
police sergeant aided an arsonist
to escape, and another officer fled
the scenes of one Of the fires.
Four-time victim of the arson
fires was Harry 7. Sledge, owner
of the Sledge Litho Reproduction
company, Inc, who said his home
was ignited either when the police
had failed to report for duty or
had left their posts. The fires
were set around the same time and
at the same place-the rear porch
es. Oil-soaked rags were used to
feed the blaze.
Sledge said his family moved
into the two-story brick home last
September Is. On September 80
at night, he found his back stairs.

the blaze and damage amounted
to 5000. The other three fires

Pilgrim Celebrates
FiHieth Anniversary

aAaOase s1ssss
AUGUSTA, Ga. May 13. (ANP)--
The Pilgrim Health and Life In
surance company held the official
celebration of its golden anniver-
sary here last week. Formed 81
years ago by four youngsters, S.
w. Walker, VS.. Hornsby, IT,.
Walker and JIG. Collier, the oldest
just having reached his majority
and the youngest about II, the or
ganization as it moved into the
beautiful new home office build
ing, saw it's assets climb to more
than four and a half million dol
lar.
Two of the original founders,
and Executive Vice-president Wal
ter S. Hornsby are still the active,
guiding forces behind the growth
and development of Pilgrim. They
directed the anniversary program
held at the Tabernacle church Mon
day night.
W. Ellis Stewart, president of
the National Negro Insurance as
ISOLATION and secretary of Supreme
Liberty Life insurance company of
Chicago, was the principal speak
err on a program which included
all phases Of Pilgrims activities in
the insurance field, awards for ap-
probation for long time and COM
petent employees and testimonials
and presentations to the principal
officers of the company.
"The story of the Pilgrim" said
Stewart, els the story of the I'M
folding of lives and personalities
built around a corps of founders
who set out on an unchartered
course, May 2, 1898, and which
has led them to the giant Pilgrim
Health and Life insurance COM
pany as we know it today.
"Look at those four boys who
decided to build something of their
own, Stewart continued. "S.W.
Walker, the idea boy, daring to be
lieve that what a white boy could
do he could do, as the crack sales
man took the field. WIS.,, the man.
ager type, took charge of getting
things done at the office. TT, the
bookkeeper, decided to keep the
books straight for the other boys.
Collier just looked on and went
on his way getting a medical edu-
cation and coming back later to be
medical director.
"What was there in the lives of
these four youths that could make
these miracles come to pass in half
a century? Through the history Of
Pilgrim and the men who have car
ried it on you find a deep spirit
ual background. Only two of the
founders are here with us tonight
but what a glorious tribute it is to
them and what a blessing that God
has spared them to see this day,
