Tfie* Sunday School Lesson Subject: “Beliefs that Matter.” j Scripture reading: John. 20:30, 31 Acts 16; 11-15 1st Timothy 4:16. Golden Text: “Whosoever be lieveth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: And every one that loveth him that begat, loveth him also that is begotten of him.” 1 John 5:1. Application: With the start of _ this quarter we begin a new se ries of “Great Christian Teach ings.” These lessons are of tremendous importance to you, for what you belie- makes up your life and character for the present time and for eternity. What we believe makes the dif ference between eternal life and eternal death for us. John states his reason for writ ing his book by saying: “Christ did many more miracles than are written in this Book. But these are written that ye might believe that Jesus is tbe Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life through his name.” § Too many Pilgrims toward the Holy City miss the way. They fail to observe the land marks and guide posts so plainly marked. We are Baptist or Meth <*0dists or Holiness because father and mother are Baptist, Methodist or Holiness. We are prone to lay too much stress on creed and doctrine. • The Scriptures are gi^en for doctrine, sound teachings and godly living, but their main pur pose is that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ. Knowing this, Creeds and doctrines take care of themselves, for with your belief you are bora of God. Christ send His Holy Spirit to dwell in you and that Spirit will guide you into the light of the truth.

Pointing to the Cleve land Urban League as an example of big-city activity, Mr. Granger stated that the staff made 429 visits to the of fices of industrial management and 52 to headquarters of labor unions. In a smaller town, Engiewood, N. J.. with a “one-man” professional staff, the execu tive secretary found time to make 32 management and three labor visits. Other figures frasn the preliminary tabulation showed vocational counselling given to U,050, and health and recrea tional services covering 125,000 persons, including children in day nurseries. Tu berculosis, cancer, venereal disease, and baby cHnlcs were high on the list qri health services rendered by the league locals, with many of them providing vac cination and other immunization services for their communities. In addition. 18,650 requests for infor mation on race relations generally and about local Urban League programs spe cifically were filled In Urban League of 4#fes during 1947. Conferences and meet- | ings participated in by staff members i polled a staggering figure of some 19.500. excluding special exhibits, programs and other activities promoted by the locals i themselves. In the total of 515,000 individuals ac- • tually served by the 39 Urban Leagues ; reporting, were some 5,897 reache# through j individual and family case work, as well j as thousands of others the “block unit” j program, an Urban League activity geared to “grass root” community service. Par- j ticularly effective in Chicago, St. Louis, i and Milwaukee, these units comprise tight ly organized city blocks under the su pervision and direction ot Urban League personnel to improve the living conditions of the neighborhood, and to make the ■ most ot the facilities already provided. “The vitality of the Urban League movement,” Mr. Granger said, “continues to be reflected in the steady addition of new local leagues. ^During 1947 the Nation al Executive Board granted char ters to three new Urban Leagues in Morristown, N. J., Dayton, Ohio, and Jacksonville, Florida. Interest in the movement is par ticularly noticeable in the South where organizing activities, under the direction of a staff in the Southern Field Division, Atlanta, Georgia, headed by Nelson Jack son, are being carried on in Texas, Alabama and Mississippi.” A complete report of 1947 ac tivities will be made in the Na tional Urban League’s 1947 An nual Report which will be re leased after the Annual Meeting in New York in February. | nrv BEAL BROS.

In a New York bokstore one day last month a Negro parent in quired for a juvenile story of the race suitable for his child. The clerk in charge showed him sev eral books of this order, but he re fused to buy any of them because they all made mention of slavery. He does not want his child to read or hear anything about that ter rible experience in the past of his people. This forethought with respect to the education of his child indeed wise and at the same time foolish. At the very time he was consider ing the purchase of the desired book a number of men in the next block were picketing a bank, carying banners aying, '‘This bank finances Jimcrow housing.”^>n his way home how did he explain to his child the meaning of this dem onstration? At the same time also this par ent carried under his arm a copy of a daily newspaper expressing joy because of the defeat of Ran kin in the senatorial contest in Mississippi. If this child is taught to read and understand the news, how can this parent get around explaining this event without in forming the youth on the back ground of the race once in bond age. This Negro parent will inevit ably find himself in the same posi tion oi the liberal white mother in North'Carolina who was bringing up her little girl without the usual instruction to hate Negroes and to avoid them. One day, however, she faced a hard problem when her child rushed to her to say that a child of a white neighbor had declared in the presence of a visiting colored playmate that she would not associate with the child of the liberal mother any more as long as her little girl played with that “Dirty Black Sambo.” Such parents, it must be ad mitted, are placed in a difficult STAR VAN Wishes THE VOICE | Continued Success GOLD'S Greater JANUARY SALES Begin Friday, 9:30 a. m. ★ ★ ★ Bargains Throughout ♦ The Store COME EARLY! position. If they explain that Ne groes are hated today because they were once enslaved and denied the opportunity to educate and elevate themselves, they must charge their oppressors with sel fishness, injustice and cruelty; but * they might thereby lead both the colored and the white child to despise the white race. It would help very much in this case, how ever, to explain that members of all races have been held in bond age, and people of all colors have he’d slaves, that Negro masters at times have held whites as slaves. In the ancient world free dom was the exception to the general rule, for about three fourths of all men in those days were serfs or slaves. The one thing evident, is that the complete story of the world, the background of the people liv ing today, must be drawn upon to complete one’s education and there is no way to avoid it even at the mother’s knee. No serious problem can be solved by wishful thinking. Truth is not advanced by encouraging the make-believe. In the end we must face the whole truth and nothing but the whole truth to helyp us to think sanely and act wisely. -..— — UMBERGER'S 2-2424 1110 Q. Funeral and Ambulance Service. Roy A.
