ALL FRIENDS INVITED TO
ST CYPRIAN'S CHURCH SUN
DAY AFTERNOON

I have an impression that
there is an unwritten law
against the correspondents Of
any paper throwing boquets
around among themselves.
Many time 1 have felt the
urge TO compliment the work
of some of my colleagues; the
spicy comments of Jay-bird;
the instructive talks of Mon
roe Mason; the bottomless
fund of knowledge in the
head of Mabe Kountz; the
tireless program of Editor
Trotter Steward and
the answering cooperation
of DR.. Steward, as they re-
lentleSsly attack conditions
are not on the program
of the Creator, which must
go, and are going. If it were
not against the ethics of news
paper writer's I would go
ahead and boost this boostable
team at great length. But as
it is 1 will not do so. However,
1 hope that the Parish Hall of
st. Cyprian Church Is crowd
ed to capacity, Sunday, the
3rd, to hear expressions from
representative citizens of the
community who are out to
give flowers to Mrs. Steward
ON the occasion of her birth
day, celebration next Sunday
and to hear an excellent pro-
gram which has been secured
for your entertainment. James
Brown, Mary Brown, Joenelle
Ralph Lawson, Mar
ian McCree and others will
perform for your benefit.

The distinguished guest

Pat" Matthews of British
Guinea, South America. His
sermon was very profound and
moving. Hope was the theme
and he declared that hope Is
q rare commodity in his coun-
try but that without hope
there is no God. The flowers

given by Mrs. Bernice Mayer

America Can Lead
World To Peace

America Is destined to be-
come the distributing center
Of spiritual enlightenment, and
to lead the world to peace"
stated Matthew Bullock, rep
reSenting the Boston Bahai
community, in announcing the
observance of Baha'i Procla-
nation Day on September %.
THE Bahai Faith, first re-
cognized in America on Sep
TENDER %, 1893 at the Colum-
bian Exposition Congress of
Religions, teaches that Ameri-
ca can lead the world in pro-
claiming the unity of man
kind. The United States has
become outstanding as a power
among the nations of the
world. If it becomes strongly
allied with a great moral pur-
pose, and serves the cause of
universal justice, it can con-
tribute more than any other
people to a reformation of the
tragic conditions that exist
today.
Because of its fruitful ex-
perience in federation, and its
great spiritual capacities and
blessings" Mr.. Bullock con-
tued, "the great Republic of
the West can lead the nations
to world order. BAHIA 'u'llah,
Founder of the Baha'i Faith
foretold the elimination of
war and of racial, religious
and class prejudices, and pro-
claimed the coming union of
peoples in one common Faith
inspired by allegiance to one
God and a love for all man
kind.

The NEGRO
In ITALY

Italian Hospitality has at
tracted millions Of tourists to
Rome. Thanks to the humility
and generosity of the Catholic
Religion, Rome has become the
paradise of all races. Since the
wonderful success of the mo-
ton picture industry of Italy,
thousands of colored are flock
ing to the eternal city and are
finding Italy, with its romance
and liberalism, the mecca for
creative colored people.
Italy has become a land al
most completely without racial
prejudice. Despite the war
against Ethiopia and later ef-
forts of FaSciSm most Italians
persist in judging people by
"cuore" (hearN rather than
by color.
The Italian motion picture
industry has given to the
colored Race the equal opport-
unity to exercise their talent
and ability.
We honesty believe that If
other nations would follow
in the same footsteps of toler-
ance, friendship and Chris
tian understanding, we would
shortly end all this false SUI
periority and miSunderstand-
ing throughout the world.
The world owes a debt of
gratitude to Italy for show
ing the way to the demogo-
CUES that only through toler-
ance and justice a great in
dustry not only can survive
but can become a giant like
the Motion Picture Industry is
today.
Bitter Rice" has hit the
top even in our own United
States box Office and names
like Silvana Mangano and
Anna Magnani are no longer
strange to us.
With this birth of activity
in the italian film industry
have come great roles for col
ored far superior to the stereo-
type parts that Hollywood has
always offered.
Without reservation, based
on color, producers are cast
ing colored dancers, singers
and actors in the Italian
movies every doy. We must
mention the great Katherine
Durham as a stellar role in
the Aim MAMBO which Robert
Rosen is making for Para
mount, co-starring with Mi
chael Rennie, Vittorio Gass-
man and Shelley Winters.
The Italian Americans
should be very proud to know
mat people of the whole
world are today flocking to the
old boot" that sunny and
peaceful land, Italy, that gives
70 the world almost everv-
tning that is Gear to the hu-
man race.
Hooray for the Eternal City,
the cradle Of civilization.

"A Car For Mrs. Steward

"A year or two ago, at a
meeting on the anniversary of
THE GUARDIAN held in Peo-
les Baptist Church and in me-
mory of William Monroe Trot-
ter, founder Of the paper, after
several hundred dollars had
been quickly raised, Mrs. Lii
han Williams, president of the
Pastors Club of Peoples, who
had much to do with the
raising of the money, remark
ed that she thought it was
time the present editor of THE
GUARDIAN was publicly hon

She has done a good job she
said in keeping the paper alive
so-that the public would not
forget the greatest race cham
pion the race ever had. The
audience enthusiastically ag-

TO stand and declare her age.
The latter had no hesitation
IN telling as people seldom be-
