DERHAPS the most notable case
of conversion in the Bible,
aside from the Apostle Paul, is
the man named Jacob. His life is a
study in black and white; up to a
certain point hardly anything good
could be said of him. but after that
point he can hardly be accused of
anything bad.
All his younger days he was
principally noted FOR giving
trouble to ether PEOPLE and
''dOing them out Of something
he wanted for himself. First he
tricked his older brother into
selling him the family birth
right, for the ridiculous price
of a bowl of SOUP (pOttage).
? You would not think any one
would sell his birthright; but Jacob
caught Esau when he was dog
hungry Then we see him out
smarting his brother again by
birthright; Jacob was by that time
a shameless liar and thief 1t be-
came so hot for him at home that
he had to leave town.
We have glimpse of him on
his journey, dreaming about a
ladder to heaven. Evidently
his conscience did not trouble
him. Indeed, he proceeds to
bargain even with God; if God
will prosper him, he says, he
will see that God gets ten per
cent. God did indeed prosper
him; but he grew no better for
it.
The rest of his life, for the next
twenty years, is one piece. of trick
cry after another, he ard his uncle
Laban taking turns trying to out
smart each other, with Jacob US
usually coming out ahead.

Conversion is Gods operation on
the heart. No one can actually see
the heart, but if the operation is
successful, the symptoms of dis
ease will disappear and the symp-
toms of health can be seen by any
one. The patient is a new man.

Jacob White

THINGS came to a climax on the
L night when Jacob, fearing death
at Esau's hands, arranged his
family TO go ahead Of him, keep
ing himself in the safest place in
the rear and there at last he
came face to face with God.
The story Of his all-night strug-
gle at the brook Jabbok is a
strange one; but one thing is GER
tain. After that night even his
name was changed, for the man
himself was a new man.
He is patient in trouble, no
longer resentful. He is not only
good man himself, he does
his best to help others. He con-
duets what can only be called
a family revival; he persuades
one and all TO give up the idols
they had been wOrshipping and
turn to the one true God. He
offers sacrifices, like his faith
erS before him.
He goes down into Egypt at last,
a humble man, no longer the con
ceited young crook he had been
when he went to Padan-Aram. He
depends now on God and not on
himself.

DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalm OIL
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1950-06-29

N FAMILIAR Psalm carries this
IA refrain: "The God of Jacob is
our refuge" Why the God Of Jacob,
not Abraham nor Isaac? Well, if it
were only the God of Abraham,
most of us might as well give up.
For Abraham was a great genius,
a man such as appears scarcely
once in a century. Or if he were
the God of Isaac only, we would
be led to think of him as caring
especially for the weak-minded,
the lame and the lazy. But Jacob
just a plain man full of meanness?
Yes; the same God who changed
him can change the meanest of US.
The real test of religion is not
what support it can give to noble
souls, or what comfort it gives to
the weak. The real test Of religion
is: Can God turn black into white?
Can God take an ordinary, con-
ceited, slippery customer and
make good man Of him? The
God of Jacob can do this and he
is the God most of lis need.

Ralph Bunche
Announces Negro
Bill Of Rights

UN Mediator, Ralph J. Bunche,
lists in the current issue Of Ne
gro Digest, six quite simple and
imminently fair" rights which
he as an individual Negro wants
white America to grant him.
Denying that he has any right
to speak for all Americas $4,000,
900 Negroes, Mr.. Bunche declared
that millions of self-appointed
Negro leaders make what the Me-
gro wants sound very complicated.
Bunche continued:
Il know what l as an individual
want. And I have an idea that
what | aspire for comes rather
close to the aspirations of most
Negroes"
Mr.. Bunehe says: Il ask for
no special favor or treatment for
the Negro individually or collec-
lively. All | want is this:
|. That American society should
cease requiring its Negro citi-
zens to run the race of life over
a special obstacle course while
all other citizens compete in the
flat;
2 THAT American society lift the
handicap Of race from our
shoulders;
8 That II draw back the curtain
Of segregation;
4 THAT the accusing finger of in
~feriority and scorn be no longer
everywhere pointed at us as a
group;
8 THAT we be accepted as indivi-
duals for whatever we are worth
and be given the unhampered
opportunity to prove or dis
prove ourworth;
9 That We may walk IN the So
ciety with our heads held high,
In full respect and dignity"
Mr.. Bunch concludes:
That Is all l ask Of American
society as a Negro citizen, except
that ! ask for quick delivery"
