HIS WORD
By Archbishop w. ID. G. Johnson

By Archbishop w. ID. c. Johnson
"Who is this that darkeneth
counsel by words without knowl-
edge?" The Lord said to Job,
"Gird up now thy loin like a man,
for | will demand of thee and
answer thou me. Where vast thou
when | laid the foundations of the
earth? Declare, if thou hast I'M
Outstanding. Who hath laid the
measures thereof, if thou know
est? Or who hath stretched the
line upon it? Whereupon are the
foundations thereof is fastened ?
Or who laid the cornerstone there
Of ?When the morning stars sang
together and all the sons of God
shouted for joy is there not an
appointed time to man upon earth :?
Are not his days also like the days
of an hireling as a servant ear
nestly desireth the shadow; and
as an hireling looketh for the re
ward of his work ?"
"Our days are swifter," said
David. an the morning it flour
isheth and groweth up; in the
evening it is cut down and with
ereth; so honor all men, love the
brotherhood, fear God, honor the
civil authority, knowing whose
ministers they are"
The grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ and the Holy Ghost be with
you now and forever, Amen.

dents in the state, lacking currcuar opportunity for
pre-nedical studies unable to meet the required
high standards.
In his address to the legislature Governor Wright
pointed out that Southern Negro Educators are in favor
of the Regional College Plan For the benefit of the
legislators we'll the Governor we point to the fact
that Southern Negro Educators were put under dress
as regards the Regional College Plan when some of the
more able Negro College Presidents of the south found
themselves IN hot water out of Job for expressing
opposition to the Regional College plan
The fact is, supported by the Constitution of
MISSISSIPPI the Constitution of the United States and
the Supreme Court of the United States the intelligent
Negro citizen of Mississippi, Southern Negro Educators
notwithstanding is asking for and is entitled to equal
education in the state wherein he resides owns his prop
ery and pays his taxes The Negro citizen therefore
looks at the prospects of four year Medical school
with reluctant enthusiasm because he feels that the
state will never be able to provide separate but euua'
Medical school for Negroes and unless there willing
ness tc allow Negro students to attend the school, the
legislature ought not create an institution to become
the center of future lawsuits on the part of Negro
students.
The Negro citizens of the state are now feeling
the same concern about the lack of opportunity for h
children to obtain education in law and other profess
siona fields now being offered to White students in
the state.
In great many instances, here-of-late there are
those who point to some improvements here and there
III negro eQucaIlOn generally, and IN Negro teachers
salaries, without mentioning the fact that at the same
time improvements for White education and teachers
salaries being made greatly in of that for
Negroes with the resulting increase in rather than
essenng of the existing dfferentia which further be-
lies the doctrine and idea of separate but equal'
In conclusion, the budget proposed gives little
evidence of a move toward making the Separate but
Equal education plan real and the Negro citizens of
the state not calling for halt III the improvement
of White education while Negro education catches up
it being their desire to see still great improve
ments in White education, knowing they do that
most of their troubles stem from the ignorant and I'M
educated White folks well ignorant and unedl-
Gated Negroes But for the good OF the state they are
calling the attention Of the state legislature to the
fact that the old practices the old road is

NEW YORK, Jan. 5-The Legal
Defense and Educational Fund of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People re-
ceived this week a contribution of
$4,000 from the Leasing J. Rosen-

by Acting NAACP Secretary Roy

The NAACP also received as a
gift from William Wyler two stock

Pictures, Inc, covering As shares
of common stock at value of APP
proximately $1,000. Another gift of
three common stock shares of the
Gaylord Container Corporation,
was presented to the Association
by Mrs. Raymond V. Ingersol.
Mr.. Wilkins cited the enactment
of FEPC legislation in Rhode
Island, Oregon, Washington and
New Mexico as indication of the
effective work done by branches of
the Association in those states in
behalf of such legislation. Other
improvements he noted on the
state level included the strengthen
ing of civil rights laws in New
Jersey the abolition of segregation
in the state militias of Connecticut
and Minnesota, the enactment of
anti-lynching legislation in Texas,
abolition of segregation and dis
elimination in public housing pro-
jects in Connecticut and the adop-
ton of legislation prohibiting seq
regation in public schools in In
diana and Wisconsin, with Illinois
voting to refuse state funds to any
school discriminating against pu-
pills because of race or creed.

you
Vengus is mine how about you
Some are seeking Vengus in

Yet claiming they are living the
right life.

day
And seeking Vengus in every
way
Nengus is mine says our Christ
And yet some are seeking to
take mems life.
3. Unless you keep al! of God
Commands
Your end is not so well
Your Soul will be Tormented we

He'll.
A. Why do you read Gods Holy
Word
Then say It doesn't read that
way
If you want believe Gods Holy
Word
It's He'll that will be your pay.
5. The Hypocrites disputes Gods
Word
They seek Vengus every day
Yet claim they are a child of
God
And He'll will be their way.
6. More Money spent on Games to-
day
Prize Fighting and Horse Race
Than. are spent to help the poor
Can't see how much disgrace

by two big Chinaberry trees, and
therefore all the more attractive
to the old folks, where had built
my version of a railroad and a cot

more than did the explosion. What

while | was setting under the front

sagacity was setting on the front
gallery talking folks always set in

of my younger and better looking
Aunties was having what folks
called at that time family troub-

overheard during a lull in the

was saying was, Emma! what's

These keys are geographic. They

locations of cancer, he said. Liver
cancer hits one nation harder than
another. Breast cancer is COM

in others.
If we can learn why these
differences occur, then we shall

could find ways to prevent it. u

Cancer of the Cervix meek of the

Cancer of the breast is rare in

I'VE hope to organize interna-

some of these differences. We
must learn what the facts are. and
why the differences occur. Know
ing that, we shall probably find
some causes of cancer, or clues
to them, and can prevent much
cancer.
I'VE need good statistics on
cancer and its types. We need
careful Investigations, and ami
NAL experiments to try to dupli-
cate the human findings. We also
need microscopic studies of any
differences in the cancers of the

compared with another.
A few such studies already are
