less people. Lhey wagted something
but they did not know what it was

a spiritual yearning, but they were
too unskilled in thought to analyze it.
They were filled all kinds of supersti-
tion. They were skeptical, suspicious
and hopeless. Moses could have faceda

greater courage than he faced this
ignorant mass of heathen slaves. Any
teacher, any football coach or basebali
coach, can understand this fact after
attempting to teach a dull class or a
dull team.

The Hebrew people were interested
in God. They might be ignorani ir
other fields, but their attention was
easily gained when God was mentioned
‘Yhe reason for this
that they were a superstitious people.
Every other race with whom they came
in contact was superstitious. The
Egyptians had many local gods to sat-
isfy their superstitions—gods of storm,
wind, rain, crops, vengence, etc. Teh
Hebrews were exposed to these gods
and some followed after them. Most
ct the Hebrews, however, had a vague
conception of God who would help
them, appear in a cloud and lead them,
be yictury for them in battle, bring
life for them out of death. Such a
God had led the fathers, Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. So Moses asked ot
God, who urged his leadership, how he
should describe him. In substance God
said: “Do not say I am ‘strength’. Do
not say I am a ‘storm god.’ Do not
say I am a ‘destroyer. But say I am
a helper, a strengthener, a deliverer.”
The phrase “I am that I am” is a
translation of Jehovah or Yahweh—
the name given to the God of the He-
brew people. Moses need
nounce himself as a representative of
that God to be recognized as a rightful
leader. “I am that I am” is a majes-
tic phrase, the translation of Jehovah
and meaning helper, strengthener, de-
liverer.

only an-
Moses’ first doubt of his ability was
idispelled when he was assured of God's
guidance. His second doubt lay in his
inability to speak in public. He knew
he would find it necessary to harangue
the mob and he was not equal to that
work, He was slow of speech—per-
haps he stammered. That doubt was
quickly dispelled when God told him to
supply the brains and secure his broth-
er, Aaron, to do the speaking. “And
thou shalt speak unto him, and put
words in his mouth.”

“THE GREAT AMERICAN
SPIRIT”
are we yel
Professor C. H. Johnson of
Wilberforce University has done
a very fine piece of artistic work
in his realistic painting, “The
Great American Spirit.” He has
attempted to portray on canvas
in a graphic way that intangible
thing which makes America what
it is. The entire conception is
grandioso and magnificent. The
figures are well done and depicts
the onward and upward march
to higher levels of religion, truth
and justice. America will finally
realise her mission and rise above
the clouds of war, strife, suspic-
ion and confusion. Peace and
brotherhood for which Jesus died
shall be every man’s possession
by birthright. Professor John-
son has clearly shown that
“earth's last picture” thas not yet

tions of his work should have

SEARCHING FOR THE GOOD
LIFE
From the earliest of man’s his-
tory upon the earth when he first
emerged thru the grey dawn
shadows of primitivity until now
thru the various cultures and civil-
isations, yea thru the various
forms and expressions of relig-
ion the high goal of the good life
has been his supreme enduring
quest. Reading “Man’s Search
for the good Life” *By A. Eustace
Haydon, author of “The Quest of
the Ages,” is like sitting once
more enthralled in the class room
of the great University of Chica-
go professor.
Professor Haydon is a new hu
manist. He is not concerned
about back-lying ultimate reality,
or purpose in the cosmic process
only to the extent of man’s ability
to purposively plan and. weave i
into the warp and woof of society.
Two things in the planetary his-
tory of man abide—the biologi
cal stream and culture. The for-
mer remains more or less the
same in heredity, but culture is
modified as it is transmittted
This culture,

thru the years.
man has power to
shape its content.
Religion with the author is a
social product, the result of man’s
endeavor to come to terms with
his enfolding environment. The
author traces man’s quest of the
good life from the earliest be-
ginning with The Traditional In-
terpretation, The Interpretation
by Modern Scientists, The Na-
ture of Religion, The Values of
the Ideal in Early Religions, The
World View of Early Religions,
The Interlude of Frustration, and
The Return to Earth. In these
Gght chapters Dr. Haydon shows
that at the outset and in most
religions man’s quest was for a
good life in the world here and
now. Some religions hold to it
today. Such was the religion of
Jesus. Historical Christianity,
thru Paul, the mystery cults in
the Graeco-Roman world, and
Neo-Platonic philosophy became
other-worldly. In the ~ Middle
Ages during the period of monas-
ticism it became pietistic and
world-shunning. Now with the
tools, technique and methodology
of modern science it is again
about to address itself te the task pared an excellent program for

J. R. HAWKINS
A WORTHY RECOGNITION
earth
One of the high points in the
Sesqui-centennial program was
the recognition of the long and
faithful service of John R. Hay-
kins, LL.D., Secretary-Treasurer
of Finance. Vor fifty years this
son of North Carolina has been
the spearhead of advance along
the African Methodist frontier.
Today Dr. Hawkins represents
the highest, noblest and best in
the church. Following a progran
of recognition, love and esteem
which stirred the hearts of the
auditors, and the presentation |
Bishop Gregg of a token on |)
half of the various episcopal «|s-
tricts, and Bishop W. T. Vernor,
the recipient responded in an ad-
dress that will live as a classic
in the archives of the chureli.
God bless Financial Secretary
Hawkins. May years be added
to his life that he may be @
continued blessing to the church
and the Kingdom of God

by something definite.
PERHAPS THE OLDEST
minister at the Sesqui-centennia
was Digeonea welders retired, 0
Mississippi. It was impressive
to note his coming into the Muni-
cipal Auditorium when “Flying
Spiritual Sparks was being en-
acted.” An actor was depicting
Richard as an old man and about
to leave his little flock.
WE ARE TRYING TO DE-
jude ourselves but “the church is
cafe in the hands of the boys.”
\ever before in our memory have
we observed $0 much unity, and
unanimity of opinion.. 'rom the
Rishops down thru the General
Officers, ministers and members
there is a determination to pre-
serve the African Methodist
heritage. :
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
the Department of Religious Ed-
ucation in the Allen Building at
Philadelphia is a forward step.
The church needs more concen-
tration and Iess duplication. It
has been suggested that some
program of economy be apylied
in the ultimate solution of the
Church Extension Department.
WILL THE TIME EVER
come when one representative
board and a certified Public Ac-
countant have charge of depart-
mental affairs in the church? The,
time may come and perhaps will
when we possess the vision, loys)
alty and courage.

HISTORY OF KIRBY'S NATURAL IRON TONIC, M. M.
This remarkable mineral deposit was discovered by a colored
man while digging a ditch. He noticed a peculiar grayish color of clay.
He discovered that by its coming in contact with air and water its
color became reddish. As this man worked several days his skin be-
came wet with reddish liquid in the ditch, minor skn irritations from
which he had been bothered for some time was noticeably helped
The news went out from this man about what had occurred to him.
Then people in the neighborhood began tp examine and experiment
with this grayish clay and soon found that ‘t contained medicinal qualix
ties.
