The First Christmas

The First Christmas
Gift
As the star guided the wise men
on their way,
To Bethlehem where the Christ
Child lay.
Born of a virgin, so sweet and
mild,
Was Gods gift to the world the
holy Child +"
To those who receive Him and
believe on His name,
Comes JOY and thanksgiving that
He is to reign,
In their hearts ever more for
His love never ceases,
And sweet music it is to those
whose soul it reaches.
As silent as the night when all
is still,
Comes a voice that whispers my
all | yield,
To one whose blood was shed
for me,
And hung on a cross at Calvary
This gift of all gifts for Saliva
tion is free,
Glory be to God: He gave it for
you and me.
How precious! how priceless we
could never pay!
For such q gift as the Christ
Child today.

Make your way, change your con.

Many times you make confusion
in attempt to reconcile,
Say what you mean then lift

But smile at every fellow, and

You always reflect the sunshine.

Listen - Keep on Listening
Can't you hear my Saviour gently
calling?
He calls you by the earthquakes
He calls you by the rain
He calls you for his own sake
Oh will He call in vain?
He calls you in the morning
He calls you in the twilight
He calls you every momeRt
From dawn of day til night
He calls you by the sunshine,
He calls you by the flood,
II you will only listen,
| He'll save you by His blood.
He speaks to you in one way
He speaks to me another
| And says-"lf you really love Him
| Then love We one another.
| Listen. Keep on listening.
Can't your hear my Saviour
gently calling?

Mr.. Dawson is not only the rep
resentative of the people of the
first Illinois district, but colored
people generally are proud of his
achievements and look to him for
aid in matters political. He is par
ticularly interested in getting as
large a number of colored voters
registered in every state of the
Union as possible.
He is thoroughly entrenched in
Illinois politics. At the urging of
former Mayor Ed Kelly of Chicago,
Mr.. Dawson switched from Repub-
lican to Democrat in 1889, became
Democratic committeeman from
Chicago's second ward, and rapid
ly rose in Democratic ranks. AS he
rose he built himself a strong or
ganization which now extends
from the wards in his district to the
Illinois State Democratic Central
Committee.

The Man +.
Bill Dawson
BY LOUIS LAUTIER

WASHINGTON, D. c. (NAAPA)
From bootblack in his fathers
barbershop in Albany, Georgia, to
a position as one of the most pow
erful politicians in America is the
distance Representative William l..
Dawson, Democrat of Illinois, has
travelled in his life span of 64 years.
An important and well-liked f4g-
ure in Washington, he is chairman
of theHouse Committee on Expen-
ditures in the Executive depart
ments, a vice chairman of the
Democratic National committee,
secretary of the Democratic con-
gressional campaign committee,
and member of the Cook County
Democratic Executive Committee.
a Incidentally, he was selected for
membership on the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Commit
tee by the Illinois Democratic del
egation in the House. Each state
has a representative on this COM
mittee, selected by the states DEM
ocratic delegation. Mr.. Dawson
was the choice of the eleven DEM
ocrats in the House from Illinois.
He was elected secretary of t he
committee by all of the members.
Early in his youth, his father de-
cided to send him away from AL
bany, deciding that it was best to
get young Dawson out of Albany
and sent him to Fisk University,
where he received his bachelor OF
arts degree. Later, he attended
ent College of Law and was grad
uated from Northwestern Unived-
sity Law School with the degree
of doctor of law.
During World War I Mr.. Daw-
son served overseas with the 365th
Infantry Regiment and was wound
ed.
At the time of his election two
years ago as chairman of the Com
mittee on Expenditures, MIR. Daw-
son was regarded as an "experi-
ment." No other colored member
of the House-even in reconstruc-
ton days-had ever presided over
a Congressional committee. But
Representative John w. McCor-
mick, of Massachusetts, who was
elected the majority leader, step
ped aside so that Mr.. Dawson could
