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.

“Everyone is saying Hello again,”

Me at No Special Place and I’ll
be there at No Particular Time,”
“I Love You, Yes I Do” so “Thrill
Me Baby Thrill Me,” Look out

“When You’re Away” I Miss You
So,” “I think You Get What I
Mean” “If You Love Me” you

Me,” “It’s Just One of Those
Things” “I Don’t Know Why,” “I
Love You for Sentimental Rea
sons.” Enough—enough—“Say No
More.”
See you next week.
You will know God’s will as to
doctrine and He will guide you
as to'what Church to connect
yourself with. You will know
that salvation is personal and
that your belief and ^not your
church is your mainstay and an
chor in Jesus Christ.

skilled and professional levels.”
Evidence that a great amount of “leg”
work ia necessary for Urban League work
shows in the total of 2,624 field visits
made to mills, plants, and business firms,
and 898 made in connection with labor
union activities. 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.

Dark Merit
By Kathryn Favors.
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

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.
