Negro Collegians
To Make Goodwill
World Air Tour
RICHMOND, Va. (ANP). A
group of 50 Negro college students
will step off on a round-the-world
air tour to spread pro-democracy
messages to the people of at least
25 nations beginning June 25, it
was announced here last week.
The tour, sponsored by the Vir
ginia Union university, is an out
growth of an idea conceived by
Clennon King, faculty member
who acted as adviser to the
school’s four-man foreign study
team which traveled abroad last
year.
King is faculty director of this
year’s travel group, which bears
the name of “Round-the-World
Study Project.” The primary ob
jectives are to crusade against
communism and to affirm their
faith in democracy. The students,
who will be official guests in
every land they visit, will spread
their messages both to officials
and the common people.
Participants will be selected
from applications received from
all parts of the country. Any
Negro student in any college is
eligible to apply. Accepted appli
cants will be given from nine to
12 semester hours credit by Vir

Amos Teaches About Worship
Scripture — Amos 4:4; 5:4-9,
14-15, 21-24.
Memory Selection—Let justice
roll down as waters, and right
eousness as a mighty stream.
Amos 5:24 RV.
Present Day Application
By Frederick D. Jordan
Los Angeles, Calif.
Worship which is pleasing to
God must be in spirit and in
truth. Amos urged the people
to worship God in sincerity. This
message is needed for us too. We
need to square our conduct with
our worship. It is easy for our
religious services to mean noth
ing to us when we are living un
worthy lives. Even excellent,
well-planned church services be
come a formal routine if our
hearts are not right. Have you
ever'heard one say, “I certainly
do not see what Mrs. Jones found
to get so happy about in service
this morning.” Going through a
form of worship is not sufficient,
nor does it carry a reward. The
condition of our lives determines
the joy we receive when we
worship. Amos had plenty to say
about evil lives, so can much be
said today. Let us remember
that he was talking about those
who worshipped, about those in
the church itself. Worship must
be characterized by sincerity, we
cannot be sincere unless we have
a real regard for God, real

enough to want to seek to honor
Him and to do His will. There
is no magic about “feeling the
spirit” when you wmrship—
righteous character is the an
swer, and we all may “feeL” it
when we worship if our lives
measure up.
Contractor Docs
Million Dollar Business
CHICAGO. (ANP). Cinderella
man of the construction business
is Harold Coleman, 38-year-old
one-legged builder from St.
Louis, who May Ebony magazine
says never went above the 8th
grade in school but will gross
more than $1,000,000 in the con
struction business this year.
“Coleman learned to build
buildings by tearing them down,”
Ebony says. “For five years he
demolished buildings in St. Louis
in order to get scrap lumber for
his kindling business. Taking
buildings down piece by piece,
he learned how they were put
up.”
Coleman was shocked by the
bad work in the structures he
wrecked, according to the story.
He decided to offer to do good
work at reasonable rates.
“In five short years, this
Tennessee-b o r n ex-dishwasher,
pyramided a $3,000,000 investment
into the Prosperity Construction
| company which now holds options
and contracts totaling over $3
I million for the next thrfce years,”
j the story continues. ‘‘Coleman %
grossed $900,000 last year with a
profit of $65,000 and will gross
more than $1 million in 1950.”
