Sengs taeke, editor and publisher of the weekly newspaper, The Chicago Defender, will be one of the high lights of the Conference, This award is presented yearly to one white and one Negro American “to signalize outstanding instances of interracial teamwork for the good of the American commun ity.” The award recipients are members of the President’s Com mittee on Equality of Treatment and Opportunity in the Armed Services. “The award” said Mr. Garrison, “is being presented to Mr. Palmer and Mr. Sengstacke in recognition of their close team work in developing the President’s Committee findings and recom mendations. A strong bond of friendship and cooperation has grown between these two men ex tending . to important activities outside the Committee.” PRESENT DAY APPLICATION By Frederick D. Jordan Los Angeles, Calif. Many false traditions have sprung up around Mary, the mother of Jesus. It is natural, however, that she should have a place of special interest in Chris tian thought. The references to her in the New Testament are few and restrained, but enough to indicate that she was a real per son, making a home and caring for her children like millions of other mothers. The story of Mary’s home life is a beautiful one that can be a pattern for our homes today. She was concerned about her Son, she encouraged Him when others thought little of Him and His teachings, she was proud j Suiiday School j Lesson SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Mary, the Mother of Jesus Scripture—Luke 1:46-55; 2:7-19, 40-52; Mark 3:31-35; John 2:1,2; 19:25-27; Acts 1:13,14. Memory Selection — My soul J doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Luke 1:46,47. The Mother of Jesus. The mother of Jesus had quite a dif ferent Son, yet she had the same concern, the same incalculable mother love, all mothers have. Joaquin Miller asks, poignantly: The greatest battle that was ever fought— Shall I tell you where and when? On the maps of the world you will find it not; It was fought by the mothers of men. No marshaling troops, no bivouac song, No banner to gleam and wave; But oh, these battles they last so long— From babyhood to the grave! The mother of Jesus fought silent battles in her heart, from Bethlehem to Calvary. She had a fearful trust; the rearing of a gifted Son for a heavenly mission. Her task was to protect Him, to keep Him from exhaustion. “The appetite for heaven so absorbed Him that he was in danger of for getting the hunger of earth.” That caused a real conflict between the mother and the Son; we see it often as they meet. Mary, wife of Joseph and mother of Our Lord, had the most difficult mother hood ever to be faced by any woman on this earth. Now there are many legends and stories about Mary; some of them are beautiful, some hard to believe or understand. Many false traditions have arisen about her; many believers in the Christ have ascribed to her the deity which belongs to Him; they have made Jesus subservient to His mother. Read His words carefully, and you will see that He never did that; He gave her the high place to which all Jewish mothers have been raised—and no more! He could not let her anxiety, much as it troubled Him, prevent Him from doing His great work. That must have disturbed Mary. But out of all the legends this re mains about her: her care of Him across the hidden years in Naz areth, her concern during His ex hausting ministry, her faith in Him as He hung on the cross and died, have put her among the first of Him, just as mothers are proud of sons who make good today. She stuck by Him to the end and aft erward worked diligently with others of His followers that His teachings might live. In turn Jesus was kind and sympathetic to His mother, He honored her and sought to give her the pro tection and care that was her due, a consideration that every other Jewish mother was due—a con sideration that your mother is due. « v r ~.~ " ' ' — ...i- r i . saints of the Christian church. Even unto the end she believed in her Son. That is the greatest attribute of mothers: when others laugh and turn from their chil dren, they stand by them! Good sons and daughters never forget that! I walk in crowded streets where men And women, mad with lust, loose-lipped and lewd, Go promenading down to hell’s wide gates; Yet I have looked into my mother’s eyes, And seen the light that never was on the sea Or land, the light of Love, pure Love and true. And on that love I bet my life. —G. A. Studdert-Kennedy, Harper’s.

Ace come back man Joe Louis signed here last week to receive 35 percent of the gates to fight heavyweight champion, Ezzard Charles at Yankee Stadium on the night of Sept. 27. The International Boxing club will sponsor the fight in which Charles, the champ, will receive only 20 percent of the gate re ceipts, thus making this fight one of the rare occasions in which the challenger will receive more money than the champion. Already the Brown Bomber has been established favorite at odds of 1 to 3 despite the fact that he has had an 18-month layoff from ring competition except in exhibi tions. Most experts are basing their odds on the comparatively poor showing made by Charles in his fight with Freddie Beshore, Aug. 15. Although not officially an nounced, it is believed that Joe Louis and the bureau of internal revenue have agreed that his share of the gate will go to the federal government in payment of his back income taxes. It is said that Joe owes about $108,000 in back income taxes, all for the year 1946. The expected gate for the Charles bout is $500, 000 which would give Joe close to $175,000 to pay off Uncle Sam. Charles probably will earn his biggest purse of his career in this bout, about $100,000, thus mark ing the first big profit he will have made from his title. Sentence Sermons By Rev. Frank Clarence Lowry for ANP DISAPPOINTMENTS 1. Disappointments aren’t so bad even though hours become dark and dreary. One may dread the outward appearance, but all is well if God be near. 2. Unhappy circumstances may cause alarm and disappointments create doubt and fear; but to know God and His love in such an hour, is to have a friend without a peer.
