a heroic accomplishment in giving the
ministerial and lay delegates the maxi-
mum of entertainment with the mini-
mum of noise and effort.

Too much praise and commendation
cannot be lavished upon Dr. Nelson
for the great care and pains he ‘cou-
rageously manifested in seeing to it,
personally, that every minister and lay-
man, be he great or small, was hos-
pitably and Nandsomely cared for.

As usual, the central magnet and

ECCLESIASTES 2: I said in my
heart, Come now, I will prove thee
with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure:
and, behold, this also was vanity. 2
I said of laughter, It is mad; and of
mirth, What doeth it? 3'I searched in
my heart how to cheer my flesh with
wine, my heart’ yet guiding me with
wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly,
till I might see what it was good for
the sons of men that they should do
under heaven all the days of their life.

10 And whatsoever mine eyes désir-
ed I kept not from them; I withheld
not my heart from any joy; for my
heart rejoiced because of all my labor;
and this was my portion from all my
labor. _ 11 Then I looked on all the
works that my hands had wrought, and
on the labor that I had labored to do;
and, behold, all was vanity, and a striy-

God, that, whereas ye were servants

made free from sin ye became ser-
vants of righteousness. 19 I speak
after the manner of men because of
the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye
presented your members as servants
to uncleanness and to iniquity unto
iniquity, ‘even so now present your

-members as servants to righteiusness
unto sanctification. 20 For when ye
were servants of sin, ye were free in
regard of righteousness. 21 What fruit
then had ye at that time in the things
whereof ye are now ashamed? for the
end of those things is death. 22 But
now being made free from sin and be-
come servants to God, ye have your
fruit unto sanctification, and the end
eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin
is death; but the free gift of God is
eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord,

THE LESSON BROUGHT DOWN
TO DATE
By John R. Ewers

“T don’t wont to miss anything” was
the reply of a young man, in a Frat
House discussion, after he had been
out-argued by his brothers concerning
a certain indefensible moral problem. |.
This is a typical attitude on the part
of youth. Life seems to open up all
at once. Within them they suddenly
find a hundred mad, pounding impulses.
Outside a hundred alluring doors ap-
pear after the fog of childhood. Why
not enter—all of them? Youth is im-

to miss anything, so he tries everything.
He is not lacking in imagination and he
therefore plunges in full-length as
he experiments with various large ideas.
He tries study, estates, servants, music-
ians, herds of animals. gardens, making
money—yanity of vanities. ,Then he
tries various combinations. Perhaps
the mixture was not correct; li€ shuffles
the cards but always the same answer
—vanity of vanities. Life is an empty
business—when one has only earthly
ambitions and satisfactions. He goes
in for pleasure. He gets the same
answer, only intensified. Then comes
the overwhelming deduction: What is
the end of the whole matter? “Fear
God and keep his commandments for
this is the whole duty of man.” Not
bad. As a drama it runs far ahead of
anything on Broadway or Shaftsbury
Avenue.

Life is not fun, but duty. Solid sat-
isfaction is not found in wine, women,
song. more money, estates, servants,
music, art, books, or any combination of
these elements. “Life is real, life is
earnest and the grave is not its goal.”
It is when one listens to the stern voice
of Duty that satisfaction comes. It
is well to have a book in the Bible to]
teach this one lesson. We have known

Thirdly, the amalgamation of the Ne-

farther and deeper than is true of the

ments, namely, the Negro’s throwing

a faith has sprung up out of the
experience of American opportunity,

He possesses the American

like all true Americans the Negro is

The Negro shares American tastes.
His food is American, his dress is
American on the lowest as much as on
the highest levels. As for music, (or
should I say jazz?) Sterling Brown
of Howard University very aptly said
not long ago: “Jazz is not negroid.
The fact that the Negro like jazz is
just another proof of his liking and
being a part of things American.”
The American Negro knows no other
traditions than American traditions,
nor does he know any country on which
to bestow his loyalty but America.

the spirit of stories of the nation’s he-
roes, the nation’s struggles, and the
nation’s successes. They have become
a part of his very being. In all the
ration’s significant wars he has played
an important part and glories in the
fact But what is far more meaning-
ful he has actively shared in the peace-
time work of nation-building.

The Jew is not wedded to German
traditions and to the German nation
in the sense that the Negro is to Ameri-
can traditions and to the American
tation. There is the conflict in tradi-
tional Jewish and traditional German
cultures made more complicated by the
fact that Germany for 3 few centuries
served as a sort of haven for Jews
who found life too hard in Poland,
Russia and Roumania. ;

Getman Jews differ from their fellow
Germans, not all of them, but many,
in foods, in personal appearance, in likes
and dislikes respectively in recreations
and amusements. Kinds f work activity
among Jews, as I have said, differ
largely from those of Germans. Like-

Wise, not a few Jews cultivate and sus- REE EEE EERE ees -

dress.

The Jew has not entered fully into
German religious: life. Intellectuals
and radicals have brdken away from
the Jewish synagogue in large numbers.
Instead, however, of turning Christian
they have more often turned atheistic
(or indifferent) thus coming into active
conflict with German religion and Ger-
man_ theology. The orthodoxy of
German Chrstians, be they Catholic
or Protestant, aggravates still further
the problem. The average Jew is-
therefore thought of as standing out-
side of the religious life of the German

people. p

With the American Negro the situa-
tion is absolutely opposite. Not only
is the Negro Christian. he is the sort
of Christian the average American is—
predominantly Protestant, Evangelical
Protestant, and still exceedingly puri-
tanical. But where Catholics hold the
field, there are also thousands of Ne-
gro Catholics, and good Catholics at
that. 3

Mommsen took Treitschke to task
for his bitter‘and intolerant attitude
on the buring question of their time,
viz., the expediency and possibility of
Jews’ losing themselves in German cul_
ture and German life. In the same
essay, however, Mommsen warned the
Jews that there was no other solution
to the Jewish problem than complete
assimilation into German culture. Hold-
ing on to the old Jewish past, he con-
tended, was impossible if they were to
become German. The masses of the
Jews remain unamalgamated into Ger-
man culture. Whatever is the cause—
gentile persecution is largely responsi_
ble—the fact remains and the situation
is unhealthy. For two cultures, like
two bodies, cannot and will not occupy
the same space at the same time.
This is a lesson which those who are
seeking .to force the American Negro
into cultural islolation should take to
keart.—The Christian Century.

Training in Friendship for the Moslem |.
World
5. What Can We Do for Moslems ?-
Acts 16:6-13"

Rev. R. C. Baker, M. E. Church

Presenting the Topic Boulder, Colorado 4

For four weeks we have been con-
sidering the facts about the Moslem
religion. We have learned many
things. We have probably made a good
many resolves. Now we begin to do
something that will be of real aid, either
now or later, for the Moslems.

In addition to the first and greatest
need for the Gospel of Christ. there are
other needs that are appalling as one
becomes aware of conditions in country
after country where Islam has power:

Need of education. ~One writer
tells of the Sulu Archipelago among
the Philippine Islands “where half a
million Moslem Moros live under the
Stars and Stripes, and where a few
years ago there was practically 100:per
cent illiteracy.” One missionary has
taken the lead in conquering this great
obstacle to religion, so that by diligent
effort in five years nearly half the adult
population has been taught to read.

Need for medicine. and treatment of
disease. Mohammedan lands are espe-
cially backward and are hard to reach
with modern medical truth. But Chris-
tian doctors have found the way to
more Moslem hearts than has been pos-
sible by any other approaches.

Need for a better demonstration of
the Christian life than we ordinarily
see. Why is it that so many pefsons
who calf themselyes Christians make
so poor a showing? Then when our
nation, the sum total of us, appears be_
fore the rest of the world there is little
wonder that the response is heard,
“Christianity isn’t so good! Look at
what you have in America!”

Each society might begin its own edu-
cational program. with the start gained
in these meetings. The Juniors may
collect pictures of people, scenes, mos-
ques, processions, and short articles
about home life and public life in Mos-
lem countries. A society scrapbook
may be made, each Junior contributing.
A portion of each meeting can be de-
voted to eo ; ‘

A missionary prayer list could. be
made for the use of the Juniors each
day. In it may be placed the names
of missionary workers and certain fields
and_ problems. 4
The Juniors’ Comments

(If the Juniors can give these and
other similar plans either voluntarily or
by advance assignment, that would be
best) a

Each society may ask its own Board
of Foreign Missions (through its pas-
tor or some missionary leader) what
particular work the denomination is
doing for Moslems anywhere. If there
is any such work, there will be much
for Juniors by way of education—in
study classes. pictures, etc.—and by
financial support.

We are all students in the University
of Life. It is like attendance upon a
modern institution of higher learning.
with this important difference. We
graduate from the modern university in
from four to six years. But we never
graduate from the University of Life.
We are in the University of Life from
the cradle to the grave.

In the Modern university subjects are
required or elective, according to the
school we enter, the course we choose,
or the prescribed minimum require-
ments for the completion or mastery
of a course. In the University of Life
subjects are elective or required, de-
pending upon the requirements or de-
mands of life, itself. For example,
we must feed and clothe our bodies,
the sex instinct demands the compan-
ionship of the opposite sex, our capac-
ity for mental and cuttural development
makes certain demands upon us. All
these demands of life center in cer-
tain human instincts and needs that
living in this present world place upon
us. These are suggestive of the mini-
mum requirements of life, itself, and of
the studies which engage our attention
in this University of Life.

Whether religion is a requirement or
an elective in this University depends
entirely upon whether it fulfils certain
requirements of man’s own nature, and
fis a necessary factor in the develop-
ment and on-going of society.

When we come to inquire into the
nature of man, we find that he is a
religious animal. Someone has observed
that “man is incurably religious.”
The religious instinct in man is deep and
strong. and seemingly ineradicable. The
French tried to eratticate it in its fax-
famed “Age-of Reason,” but without
success. Russia has tried it within our
life-time, only to have it re-appear in
another form.

, Man’s personal need for religion
seems to lie in two directions. First.
he needs some super-human. power to
sustain, comfort and guide him in a
none too friendly world. And, second
he feels a need for spiritual power to
help him five up to the ideals and stan-

to achieve. Tf these demands are valid
and T think they are, then. religion js
a reauirement and not an elective in
this University of Life. ,
When we turn to the social scene
man’s need for relicion seems even
more overwhelming. The
needed here is not so much that ‘of

ese

Church and creed as for the religion
of the spirit. The religion of love and
goodwill, of unselfishness and sharing,
of humility and forgivené$s seems in-
dispensable to our living together hap-
pily and helpfully inthis present world.
We need this kind of religion not only
to help tame international lunatics and
brigands, but we need it also to cause
the “have” nations and classes to be
willing to share what they have with
the “have-nots.”

We need religion also as a medium
in which depression difficulties and rac-
ial, class and international conflicts can
be resolved. America will never climb
out of the depression on the ladder of
greed and selfishness, and it is folly to
expect it to do so. The twelye or
fourteen million Negroes in this coun-
try have never been a serious minor-
ity group problem to us, primarily be-
cause they are religious in their nature,
and have approached their problem
with us from the religious standpoint.
And it is well for us to bear in mind
that we are just as much a problem to
them as they are to us. And T raise
here this pertiment question: By an
un-Christian attitude toward him, are
we going to force him finally to aban-
don the religious approach to his prob-
lem as a minority group in America?
Let us hope and pray not.

International conflicts can be resolved
in but one of two ways. By force,
which experience has clearly demon-
strated settles nothing. It merely
sows the seeds of future wars. Or they
are settled in an atmosphere and spirit
of reason. understanding, unselfishness
and goodwill. And this is of the very
essence of high religion.

This hard-headed. realistic, devil-may-
care world needs, and needs desperate-
ly, the spiritual interpretation of the
basic fact which Christianity affords.
Until we face the fact that man is fun-
damentally a spiritual being, and that
his needs are fundamentally spiritual,
we have not begun to understand him
or to meet and solve his problems. And
high religion alone does that.

If religion be a required subject in
this University of Life, then, the way
to reap ts benefits is to give it a place
in our individual lives. Religion must
begin with the individual. It will not
and cannot end with him: But it
surely must begin with him. We are
careful to look after our physical and
social needs. Tet us give as much at-
tention to our spiritual natures.

WE ARE LIVING in what some
consider the most colorful if not the
most dynamic and interesting age in
the history of this’ planet. © Dr. Wil-
liard Sperry would have but little of
the matter in his great book, “The
Signs of These Times,” if he were to
re-write it afresh’ bringing it up to
date. Every age Of course has had its
shifting scenes and changing methods
but hardly any stage of human history
compares in all points with ours. No,
not Pastor Russell or Judge Ruther-
ford but rather like the prophecy of
Bishop. Berkley in the latter part of the
18th century,—“The first four acts al-
ready past, the 5th shall close the dra-
ma of the day.” That we are actually
now in the fith act there are none to
take the’ negative, argue or dispute.
There’s a big thing coming off up the
road. Is the Judge Advocate of the
world looking over your title to a man-
sion?.. Has He given you any assur-
ance or the FEELING that all will-be
“clear?” Remember, only the “Pure in
heart,” i.e., and e. g., Christians, the
redeemed, the blood bought, the re-
generated, rooted and grounded and
built up in HIM—the SAVED—are
promised a CLEAR TITLE. A few
days ago the great powers of this world
were given just about twenty-four
hours to make up their minds as to
have another world’s war at this season
or wait awhile, No change of so-called
“notes” and diplomatic word juggling.
no plebecite, no political pow-wows”
among the bow-wows, no time to get
set for long drawn out discussions by
quasi and pseudo representatives of
the “peepull.” None of the old line
slush and much and-gush clothed in
fine spun diction. Just one man chal-
lenging the entire world to civilisation

or barbarism.

“A FEW NAMES in Sardis.” A
duplicate edition of the Bishop’s Coun-
cil, plus our general staff, met recently
in ’Philadelphia at the African Metho-
dist Book Concern and approved the
new set-up establishing Dr. George A.
Singleton as Editor and -Manager of
the CHRISTIAN RECORDER: This
act surely takes some of the burden
from the shoulders of our able man-
ager of the Book Concern, Dr. G. E.
Curry, who has been and is doing such
a splendid work in redeeming that fine
piece of property for the connection.
ee Sister L. M. Hughes, dynamic
and strong head of the W. H. & F.
Missionary Society, is now in South
African lands doing firsthand and first
class observation for the general good
of our African Methodist work there.

The. First Quarterly Conference of
Wayman A.M.E. Church conyened on
Monday night, October 3rd with the
Presiding Elder, Rev. S. R. Maguinéez
presiding. Wayman is the first church
on the West Chicago District, there-
fore the Presiding Elder starts his
round at this point. j

This is the beginning of the pastor’s
seventh year of service with these faith-
ful people and , the Presiding Elder’s
sixth. year.

We were happy to return and ‘find a
sign over the door reading, “Welcome
Rev. J.D. Coston and Rev.-S. R.
Maguinez back to Wayman.” Way-
man Boosters. i g

In view of the fact we had only one
day to raise finance we are not making
any mention about, money but we do
‘want the entire Connection to know of
the genuine, sincere welcome that was
extended us in this our return. “The
spirit of harmony, peace and love per-
vaded the entire session of our Quar-
terly Conference. : Es

Dr. Maguinez and I have gone
through the years with clasped hands
without any misunderstanding, not
only as Pastor and Presiding Elder,
but as brothers, friends and pals. Dr.
Maguinez is an unexcelled Presiding
Elder. 4

With this type of spirit existing a-
mong people, pastor and elder, we can
make the declaration of the Psalmist
ours as is found in the 122nd Psalms, -
verses 7 and 8, “Peace be within thy
walls and prosperity within thy palace.
For my brethren and companions’ sake,
I will now say, Peace be within thee.”

PHILADELPHIA, PA.

North Carolina Mutual Observes Fortieth
: _. Anniversary

OCTOBER 20th A MEMORABLE DAY

Company Proves Ability of Negroes to Operate Big
: Business.

4

OCTOBER 20th marks a memorable occurrence in the history, of NORTH
CAROLINA MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY of Durham, N. C.

It was on this-occasion forty years ago that John Merrick in O aaciatiGn with
Dr. A. M. Moore called about him a small group of men for the purpose of
organizing a company, the purpose of which was to stimulate concreted effort
and thus set in motion an agency that would safeguard the financial interests
of the underprivileged. Out of this meeting grew what later was to be known
as the NORTH CAROLINA MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.
From year.to:year the company broadened its sphere of operation, until
today it offers to the public a line of modern, approved, legal reserve coverage
that is complete in every respect.

Since its founding, the company has shown steady and persistent growth,
having paid to policyholders and beneficiaries over seventeen million dollars
in benefits. At the end of 1937 insurance in forcé amounted to $41,521,952,
with assets Over five million dollars. Both sums have increased materially
during the present year.

The institution had its beginning at a time when few Négroes had any true
conception of what life insurance really meant to the family life. As a result,
its growth was not phenominal, yet its progress was steady and consistent.
It is to be noted that during the past ten years, admitted assets have more than
doubled as the schedule of income and admitted assets will indicate.
