Association.
On Tuesday, June 20, the Women

did annual report from Mrs. Griffin.
The State Y, W. A. an auxiliary to

illustrious young Baptist minister,
Rev. J. H. Jackson, in charge. Those

WEEKLY SHORT SERMON
By Dr. A. G. Bearer
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
Text: And he be^an to upbraid the
cities.—Matthew 11:20.
Ancient cities stood for the nations
to which they belonged. They dominat
ed the affairs of these nations. Jesus
recognized this when he upbraided the
cities— Chorazin, Bethsaida, Caper
naum, and contrasted them with Sod
om and Gomorrah, Nineveh, and Tyre
and Sidon.
Today, the sins of the cities are
cursing the nations and menacing
civilization. In America, New York,
Chicago, Memphis, and Kansas City,
are considered the most lawless
municipal aggregations of the coun
try. Bootlegging, dope-selling, social
vice, shameless murder, juvenile delin
quencies, open gambling, political cor
ruption, rampant greed and graft are
at the bottom of this urban corruption.
And these sins will bring ruin as did
these of Babylon, Nineveh, Chorazing
and Capernaum, “once exalted to hea
ven and then cast down to hell.”
As we celebrate Independence Day
it would be well to remember these
things and realize that no nation is
safe under such conditions. Worthy of
consideration is the Biblical declara
tion: “For the nation and kingdom
that will not serve thee shall_perish;
yea, those nations shall be utterly
wasted.”

Credit Union Activities:
Last Tuesday night the Woodson
Center Co-operative Credit Asso. j
jiation and Garden Club staged a “Get
ogether—get better acquainted” meet,
ing at the Center. A short program
was rendered including a talk by Law
yer Myers. The main speech was giv. j
;n by Mr. Whity, Professor of Eco.
lomics at Omaha University, who
spoke on “Some Aspects of the Bank- I
ng System ”
In addressing the body, Mr. Myers
said:— “This ir<WH e w^Hhwhile I
neeting among this group of people,
?ince the main objective of this organ, j
zation is to develop the spirit of
thrift in its members.” Mr. Myers
assisted Mr. Orchard last fall when
:he Woodson Center Credit Union was
being organized, and spoke in very im
pressive and complimentary terms re
garding the growth and success of the
movement. He added further, that it
is of particular importance to note
that the members receiving such small
wages in this time of depression, have
been able to develop such a service
agency.
Mr. Whity touched upon the value
of the “Gold Standard,” and urged the
members of the two clubs to spread
the message of thrift far and wide,
making it a daily practice. He com.
mented further on the fact that since
the organization of Woodson Center,
there has been a marked decrease in
Juvenile delinquency.
More than 75 members and friends
of the Credit Union and Garden Clubs
attended. Girls of the Kiyi Baseball
Club served refreshments at the close
of the meeting which ended in a Social
Hour.
The Woodson Center Credit Union
is a member of the National Asso
ciation of Credit Unions in Boston
Mass. Its membership has increased
from seventeen at the time of organ
ization last fall to forty odd May 1st.,

JOHN BROWN’S 80UL GOES
MARCHING ON
London, Eng. (CNS) “Gallows
Glorious” a new dramatic presenta
tion by Ronald Gow which is concern
ed with the life of John Brown, the
American martyr whose soul goes
marching on, recently had a single
performance at the Arts Theatre, by
the Croydon Repertory Company.
To Mr. Gow, John Brown is plainly
a hero. In this play the dramatic
movement is exceptionally swift and
clear. John Brown in his home amoT^r
his family, who are as free from doubt
and self-criticism as he is himself;
John Brown preparing for his raid on
Harper’s Ferry, knowing that he and
his supporters are going to their
deaths and caring nothing so long as
their defeat stirs public opinion; John
Brown a prisoner, stubborn and in
wardly triumphant—he is always the
same man, drawn crudely, perhaps,
but vigorously, fluently, without hes
itation. And what is true of him is
true of the other persons of the
drama—his wife, his sons his daugh
ter.
Charles Morgan, a dramatic critic
writes of the play:
“’I find it hard to believe that any
- - 4
family was so united so free of every
shadow of selfishness or misgiving;
Mr. Gow suggests a complete surrend
er of their lives to their father’s fan
aticism. But their unity makes for
plainness in story telling.
“The whole play has something in
common with an adventure story for
boys—the narrative is so self-confi
dent, so blandly straightforward, so
arbitrary in its seperation of the
sheep from the goats; and the Croy
don Repertory Company, which gave
a single performance of it at the Arts
Theatre, could not save it from giv
ing an impresion of too trustful a her#
worship. But if we are prepared to
believe that the Browns never swerv
ed, never doubted and seldom thought
of anything but anti-slavery, we must
give Mr. Gow credit for having treat
ed his heroic theme with dignity and
for having written many passage
that is moving because it is so hap
pily free from modern shyness in
the face of gallant individualism. It is
at any rate better to err on the sid#
of hero worship than to sneer at John
Brown for no wiser reason than that
he wa3 brave and knew his own mind.
One may wish that Mr. Gow had
struck deeper; but one could scarcely
wish him to write straighter narra
tive on his chosen level.
CITY INCREASE IN RELIEF LOW
Omaha is one of 120 metropolitan
cities included in a series of statistics
compiled by the United States depart
ment of labor’s children’s bureau on
the status of relief work in these
communities.
A recent bulletin issued by the
children’s bureau shows that these
120 cities spent >174,869,286 for re
lief in 1931 and for the same period
m 1932 spent >313,410,370. This am
ount represents an increase of 79.4
per cent over the 1931 figure.
In Omaha during the same period,
according to the bulletin, >296,837
was spent for relief in 1931, while
>427,838 was spent in 1932. This in
crease was only 44.1 for Omaha, or
35.3 per cent less than the national
average.
In May according to the bulletin it
was estimated that 62 per cent of the
entire urban population or 35 per cent
of the entire population of the nation,
was dependent or partially dependent
for relief. The total number depend
ent in round numbers was 43,000,009
persons.
In Omaha it is estimated that there
has never been more than 15 per cent
of the entire population dependent.
“The Rural Community and Social
Case Work,” a book by Josephine C.
Brown, is one of the recent additions
to the new Herman von W. Schulte
Social Work library. This book con
siders various new factors that have
brought about social problems in
farm homes and also describes meth
ods of establishing a social welfare
program in rural counties.
