Psalms 105-107; 111-118. Ancient Thanksgiving Procla mations. Three thousand years ago a king of Israel wrote a suc cession of thanksgiving procla mations. Take only two of them, Psalms 104 and 105, and it is significant that they are conse cutive, can we find a nobler expression of the spirit of thank fulness in any modern utterance? “He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man”; “Oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart”; “The earth is full of thy riches”; “Thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.” i It is an enumeration of the things that blessed Israel in bin and barrel, and yet quite as truly a summary of the bodily comfort that culminates at our own Thanksgiving table. But then comes a reckoning of God’s goodness to the nation—the covenant that gave them the land of Canaan: “When they were but a few , men in number; yea, very few, , and strangers in it.” j “When they went from one na tion to another, from one king dom to another people.” “He suffered no man to do them wrong; yea, he reproved kings for ' their sakes.” And there follows a list of the nation’s great leaders, and of their 1 services. Does it not fit our own story? J Does it not recall our own lead- ' ers? Shall it not set us to think ing of our own reasons for being 1 thankful? Better than any State Governor, or any President of the United States, King David calls us to a service that is the highest pleasure — TJ^e Youth’s Com- 1 panion. Lest We Forget. In 1897, when j the British Empire was at the height of its splendor, the Dia mond Jubilee of Queen Victoria was celebrated with a great man- j ifestation of power which im- i pressed the world. In the midst j of this tremendous exhibition of | human might, Rudyard Kipling i wrote a poem which has now a ] place in all our hymnals. It has j survived when other Jubilee verse \ has been forgotten because it j strikes the same note of solemn exhortation which sounds amid all \ the gladness of Psalm 105. \ The tumult and the shouting dies; The captains and the kings de- j part; \ Still stands thine ancient sacri- j fice, An humble and a contrite heart; ! The Pigskin Huddle BY ANP. RICHMOND REBELS SIGN NEGRO HALFBACK. The Richmond Rebels of the American Football league became the first pro team in the South to break the color line last week when they signed former Vir ginia Union halfback star, Fred erick T. (Cannonball) Cooper, to play in 1949. This will not be Cooper’s first time playing for an interracial team in the South, however. Last year he played against the Rebels with the Atlantic City Reds in an exhibition. He will play against the Reds Sept. 3 in another exhibition tilt. During the off season Cooper, 28, teaches at the Maggie L. Walker high school in Richmond. At Virginia Union, Cooper was an outstanding back in 1940 and 1942 and in 1945 and 1946 he was captain of the Virginia Union team. In between he was in the service during which he spent 21 months in Europe with the Third army. The Rebels, although never signing a Negro player before, have played against Negro play ers several times. Among the stars they have faced in the past is Elmoi'e Harris, now with the New York Bulldogs of the Na tional league. TALIAFERRO IN GREAT SHAPE FOR ALL STAR GAME. Probably the best all-around back on the College All-Stars team is George Taliaferro, former Indiana great now with the Los Angeles Dons of the All America conference. The stars are in training twice daily at Northwestern’s Dyche stadium for the 16th annual all star football game against the National league champion Phil adelphia Eagles at Soldier field in Chicago, Friday night, Aug. 12. Not only is it likely that Talia Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget! r " i t Much Success ; to the j If Future Nurses I i | Consumers 14th & “O” St. ' ferro will be in the starting line up on offense for the stars, but he is also one of the best defense men on the squad. He is playing the kind of ball that he did as a freshman in 1945 when he led his school to its only Big Nine cham pionship. Although he has signed a pro contract, he still has one more year to go at Indiana. He de cided to give up his remaining year of eligibility to play for pay. With the Dons he will join home-towner John Brown, giant center, and Lenny Ford. The all star game is being broadcast coast-to-coast on the Mutual netwmrk. A FEW QUICK SIGNALS. North Carolina college is al ready making plans for its home coming, Oct. 15, when the Eagles meet Virginia State. Honored guests will be college presidents and high school principals from Virginia and North Carolina. The Los Angeles Rams have dropped in on the Negro college campuses to pick up on Willie Phillips of the national champion ship Southern team and Willie Gibson of Prairie View. Phillips, a backfield flash, is 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs 194 pounds. Center Gibson towers 6 feet 3 inches and weighs 218 pounds. FOOTBALL OFFICIALS NEEDED FOR COLLEGE GAMES. Probably the most unglamorous position and possibly the most important post on the gridiron is that of an official during the i| :: | Congratulations | From Seal Test Ice Cream :: :: 3100 “N” Si.

It seems that the yoounger men do not want to go into that field despite the encouragement of leading coaches. Often in games officials do not even know the rules. This problem will be one of the main topics of the midwest con ference of coaches and officials that will meet at the Wabash Avenue Y. M. C. A. in Chicago on the eve of the All Star foot ball game.
