THE WORD IN SEASON by
Hughes Wagner. Abingdon Cokes-
bury Press, Nashville. 50. Sermons
for the Christian Year. Thirty chap
ters, brief and understanding, that
are new in their presentation Of
old truths. The author does not
hold to conventional outlines.
Sound in thought. striking in ap-
plication, the sermons speak direct
ly to ga tough generation" Reli-
giOn is preached as the power of
God, ''an open channel to the
bOundIess reserves which are the
gifts of faith" One of the best
chapters is titled "Unorthodox
Saints" The author uses contem-
pOrary prose and poetry to his ad-
vantage, He shows no less skill in
using illustrations than in his pull
pit approach.
THE SECRET OF GOD by Robert
D. Hershey. Muhlenberg Press,
Philadelphia. S175. Primarily in
tended for the Lenten season these
chapters are year around reading.
The voice of the author has been
heard on ABC's Sunday Vespers
and MutuaPs Faith in our Time"
Great doctrines of the faith receive
good attention. Here is something
upon which Christian people have
agreed through all ages. They have
differed in creeds . church gov
ernment systems of worship.
They have often fallen short of
Christian ideals and perverted the
gospel they prOfossed Yet. when
challenged, they have agreed that
love is the secret of life, and Christ
is tn Lord of Love"
LINCOLN AND THE SPIRITUAL
LIFE by T. V. Smith. Beacon
Press, Boston. $3.50. This work is
not distinctive contribution. 1t
seems rather to use the Great
Emancipator as prop for the
running comment of a noted liber-
al. Mr.. Smith dies know how to
write, and ose does not tire in read
ing him. In view of present trends
it seems unfortunate that the au-
thor is so free in the use of the
word secular" Others, more able
than Mr.. Smith, have written on
Lincoln's spiritual life. They have
written contrary to this books ar
gument. For example, the late DR..
Barton compiled a creed from Lin
coins own writings.

Whom will ye that | release
unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus
which is called Christi" This was
the question of Polate to the Jews
when Jesus was on trial before
him, and he was too craven to re
lease him. So anxious was he TO
let Jesus go free that he brought
out the worst prisoner in his jail
and asked that the people choose
between this prisoner and the most
righteous person whoever lived.
The record of both men were be-
fore them; it was up TO the citi-
zens of Jerusalem to say which
one would be released TO live in
their community. They might
have in their society the purest,
the most upright, the most helpful
citizen the world has ever known,
or they might have the most dan
gerous robber of their day 1t Is
up to them to choose which of the
two shall be freed to take his place
as q member of their society.
Jesus was noted for doing good,
healing the sick, unstopping deaf
ears, opening blind eyes, raising
the dead etc. But we read in
the scripture this short account of
Barabbas. "Barabbas was rob
ber." What a contrast between
the two, Baraboas or Jesus. But
sacred and secular history alike
record that they chose Baraboas
and rejected Jesus"
After 1900 years We the people
are still free to choose just which
of these two persons shall be re-
leased in our community. Both
are still with US and we must cast
our vote for one or the other.
Any attempt to be neutral Is TO
cast a vote for Barabbas. We
vote either for Barabbas or Christ,
the church or the tavern, truth or
falsehood, justice or injustice, love
or hate, for peace or war. Pilates
question comes ringing down the
corridor of the centuries, Whom
will We that l release unto you?
Barabbas, or Jesus?'
To accept Barabbas is to in
vite poverty, sickness, hate,
Dloodshed, and finally destruction
to all that we hold dear. But to
have Jesus means love, joy, peace
and understanding in this life, and
eternal happiness in the world to
come. Here's to their mothers
and fathers and all citizens of our
community, let US cast our vote for
Jesus which is called Christ.

Americans can thank a Negro
eobbler for the fact that they are
the best shod people in the world
and that shoes produced in the
United States are desired in all
civilized countries. TIL cobbler
was Jan E. Matzeliger, who was
born at Paramaribo, Dutch Gui-
ana, September Is, 1852. He in
vented the shoemaking machine
which bears his name while en-
ployed at shoe factory in Lynn,
Mass. The Matzeliger machine
revolutionized the shoe manufac-
turing industry, and in every
shoe factory of the modern world
machines Of the Matzeliger type
are in evidence.

Darling, Pray

CHICAGO. Darling, pray
that this will be over soon. have
to fly tomorrow Ny heart
hasn't been down to earth since
the first time you kissed me and
when you love someone you send
it clear out of this world Illl
love you forever"
SO ends the most heart-rendng,
moving and unforgettable love let
ters ever written by warrior in
battle to the girl he left behind. 1t
was written by Ensign Jesse
Brown, the first Negro naval Off
Ger to die in any IT, s. War, to his
wife, Daisy, in Hattiesburg, Miss,
the night before he went on his i'll
fated mission from the aircraft
carrier U.S.S. Yete, and which
EBONY, Negro picture magazine,
publishes exclusively in its current
issue.
The love of a man for the wonl-
an he's left behind, the loneliness
and the bitterness of a young man
fighting for his country thousands
of miles from his homeland, his in
tense desire to return to peace and
tranquility again--all this is elo-
quently expressed by 24-year-old
Ensign Brown to his wife the night
before he crashed to his death in
the Chosin Reservoir area sector
on December IA tragedy that
was front page news in many
newspapers because of Browns
status as the first Negro naval avi-
ator.
To his wife, Daisy, on that night
before his ill-fated mission, Brown
write, in part, II love to tell you
how much | love and adore you D..
My heart belongs to you always
it was little past midnight
when | started this, but who cares
we're in love and that's what
matters.
my biggest hope still is that
somehow, through the mercy of
God, this war can come to close
without us getting into an about
war with China E.
Darling, heaven alone can know
how much need you and how bad
ly | want 20 see you II only
my heart could talk and if only
my hungry, lonely arms could en-
fold you, darling.
"Often when | climb into my.
rack at night all the loneliness of
the day seems to descend upon me
and I'm haunted by thousand
sweet memories of you Then all
the tears that I've been holding
back all day refuse to be held
back any longer ana | just lay
there in loneliness and misery and
cry my heart out | pray to
God to see my tears and grant that
through His pity and mercy we
may be together again soon.
please try and keep your chin
up way up, darling Be
lieve in God and believe that things
will work out all right He'll
see us through"
Brown also left 2-year-oid
daughter, Pamela. Two men on
the aircraft carrier Leyte, who held
Brown in high regard, have raised
$500 for a trust fund to assure
the daughter college education.

Few inventors of any race have
produced larger number of APP

and few have done more good for
industry than Granville T. Woods,
Negro inventor born at Columbus,
Ohio, April %, 1856. Among his
inventions are automatic air-brakes,
a telegraphic device for transmit
ting messages between moving
trains, and the third rail- device
used on the New York subway
system. Records in the Unite d

History Of education among Ne
groes in the United States goes
back "a far a. l704, when ms
sionary society founded in Ing
land undertook the religious tram
ing Of slaves in New York City.
The work was carried on by Liza
Neau. q Frenehmau, for nearly
20 years On Aoy. !, 1885,, the
Manumission Society opened I b e
African Free School in New \ ork.
A member Of the Society ard one
of the founders Of the African
Free School vas Rev. Samuel L.
Cornish, an editor Of the first Ne
gro newspaper in America. II IS
a curious historical fact that this
school gave the Negro children Of
New York a free school several
years before there was any such
institution for the white children
of that city. The AIS was, IN
truth, the precursor Of the New
York public school system.
