MEN OF COURAGE
The oft mentioned expression “The world loves a
fighter and hates a quitter'’ was attested to by the con
gratulations and admiration heaped upon the three val
iant mr.g barristers who in the face of stiff opposition
from certain members of their own group asked a justice
“If it is constitutional for the State of North Carolina to
maintain schools for professional training and deny that
training to qualified applicants because they are color
ed/ Firm in their convictions the lawyers in a most dig
nified manner presented their case winning the gratitude
of their people and the achniration of the white public.
Instead of the legal encounter disrupting interrac
ial accord, as some feared, it has proved to the public that
we are equipped with men able to represent their people
in court. There should be more needs for the use of Negro
lau vers. This also holds true in the fields of medicine,
dentistry and the other professions.

A PALM SUNDAY PRAYER
by R. A. ADAMS
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
At this crucial period in the life of
our nation, and when the fate of all
nations seems trembling in the bal
ances, there is a striking analogy be
tween our condition and that of the
Jews on the first Palm Sunday. Then.
Jesus entered Jerusalem and was hail
ed as “®ie son of David;” as the ex
pected Messiah. The cry “Hosanna,”
was not only an exclamation of praise
but a prayer, for the Hebrew means
“Save now. Lord.” And this feature j
of it is herein emphasized.
As to our nation, dangers threaten;
dire destruction portends; the condL
tion is exceedingly critical; human
wisdom and human efforts seem
woefully inadequate; and only Di
vine help can save us from the cal
amities which menace the very life of
the nation. So, it would be most fit
tin? that the nation adopt the cry of
the chosen people, on the first Palm
Sunday, “Save, now, Lord!”
The faith of the nation and faith in
the nation has almost perished. Peo
ple have lost faith in its institutions,
in its sense of honor, of justice and
equity, and of its sincerity. Human
sympathy is a lost art. and universal
brotherhood seems to be retreating
father than advancing. But there is
a small flickering flame of faith; re
mains a glimmering spark of hope;
now and then we observe heartening
evidences of human interest and hu
man sympathy, and before these are
entirely extinct, it would be well that
we adopt the language of oppressed
Jewry, and cry. “Save now. Lord!”
Then we should strive for such re
formation as will avert the calamity
which so menacingly threatens.
WEEKLY SHORT SERMONS
Preparing the Way For Jesus
by Dr. A, G. Bearer
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
Text: Prepare ye the way of the Lord;
make His entrance easy—Matt. 3:3.
Before the advent of Jesus Christ,
fthe prophets kept alive the faith and
the hope of the people. In this, they
were preparing the way for Him.
| John the Baptist came as the re-in
carnation of Elijah, and in fulfilment
of the declaration of Malachi “And
he shall prepare the way before me.”
We are mid the closing days of the
Lenten period and near the time of
sufferings of Jesus. Next Sunday will
be Palm Sunday, commemorate of
the action of the people in casting
’ palm branches on the ground, liter
ally preparing the way before Him.
He does not walk the earth now; we
cannot prepare a path, as they did;
but there still is need for the cry,
“Prepare ye the way of the Lord;
make his entrance easy.”
A splendid way to emphasize this
thought of preparation is to answer
the questions, what? How? When?
W HAT, has to do with meaning.
It is subjective. It is an appeal to the
individuals and nations of the world
| to make room for Jesus Christ.
WHERE ? In the minds and hearts of
men. as He stands outside waiting
and knocking. HOW has many ans.
wers. Chiefly it may be answered
thus: “Renounce all idols, as “No man
can serve two masters;’ extend to
Jesus a pressing invitation to enter;
make Him welcome, urge Him to a
bide; and, do nothing that would
grieve Him and cause Him to depart.”
NOW answers the question, WHEN?
Penalty for failure is loss of bless
ings which result from acquaintance
and association with Christ; empti
ness of life, since He alone can fill up
the measure of a soul; and ultimate
and irreparable loss of the soul. The
i ministers could sound no more im
portant note than this cry: “Prepare
| ye the way for the Lord; make His
entrance easy.”

Race prejudice must go. The Fatherhood of God
and the Brotherhood of Man must prevail. These are
the only principles which will stand the acid test of good
citizenship in time of peace, war and death.
(1) We must have our pro-rata of employment in
businesses to which we give our patronage, such as groc
ery stores, laundries, furniture stores, department stores
and coal companies, in fact every concern which we sup
port. We must give our citizens the chance to live res
pectably. We are tired of educating our children and
permitting them to remain economic slaves and enter in
to lives of shame.
(9) To encourage the erection of a one hundred
thousand dollar Young Men’s Christian Association
Building near 24th and Lake Streets.
(10) To enlarge the Young Women’s Christian As
sociation that it may supply sufficient dormitory accom
modations.

in their earning capacity by printing in each issue a bud
get system for various salaries.

by inaugurating a more cosmopolitan spirit among our
American citizens.

State law making the mistreatment of a wife or a hus
band by either of them, a criminal offense to be decided
by a jury, first offense, jail sentence of a short duration;
from one to five years in the penitentiary. This, we be
lieve will make men and women think before marrying,
second offense, one of longer duration; third offense,
(14) We must become owners of the city govern
ment by paying a seemingly higher salary to those whom
we employ to administer its affairs, a salary that will at
and, also, a first-class trust company for the purpose of
tract men of high calibre.
(5) A one hundred per cent membership in the Oro
u a NAACP. should be had to encourage
the efforts put forth by the founders of the organization
and to assist the general office to establish a five million
dollar endowment fund to maintain operating expenses
ami to further the principles of the NAACP AH^S
pie of all races must be educated up to a higher principle
and a mfore thorough understanding of interracial rela
tionship that our country may in reality be a government
of the people, for the people and by the people in whole
and not m part.
(6) The re-establishment of the Christian Religion
as Christ taught it, for the uplifting of mankind, elimin
ating financial and personal gain. A practical Christian
Religion, week day as well as Sunday. An attitude to
ward our fellowman as a brother in order to establish a
principJe which will guide the destiny of each other’s
children; our neighbor’s children today are our children
tomorrow.

and the enforcement of the State Civil Right Law.

also to encourage a high respect of them and encourage
more of our girls to take nurse training.
(4) A one hundred per cent deportment of our cit
