ST. JOHN S A. M. E. CHURCH In spite of the sub-zero weather, a number of the faithful members came to service last Sunday. Rev. iiryant preacthed both morning and evening. The Captains of the groups for the rally are trying to get their groups lined up to do some great work. Some of the captains start ed out their trips to New York by way of auto by paying some money last Sunday. Those who did not report, say it is not the ones who pay early will win this race, but the ones who pay all he way to the end. You are always welcome to St. John. St. John feels she has one of the best choirs and minis ters in Omaha. Come out and see for yourself. THE METROPOLITAN SPIRITUAL CHURCH Sunday morning was another <rreht feasting time at theMetro politan Spiritual Church. Al though it was very cold, the pas or bruoght to us a great message from St. Luke, 4:18. The sub ieot was “The Spirit of the Lord :s upon me because He hath an' nointed me to preach the Gospel.” The Sunday school is in a great race for new membership under the leadership of Sister A. G. Arnold. Every Sunday evening evening at six o’clock we have a great time discussing God’s word under the direction of Mr. L. Col lier. Our postor brought to us another great gospel message at eight o’clock service, the subject of which was, “Press On.” The fire is always burning at the Me tropolitan Spiritual Church. We thank God that He sent Rev. John son to our city. He has been our pastor for three years, and we can truthfully say that we find no fault with him. We are now in the midst of a great revival, conducted by Elder Massey from New York. Great meetings full of fire are expected each night. January 28th, Pro fessor L. L. Boswell, director of the National Spiritual Congress, a nreacher, prophet, GosnePsinger, pianist and organist, will be with us for a week of great service for God. All ministers and laymen are invited to all services. Come to Metropolitan and have a great feasting time.

Superintendent Reagans opened Sunday School at 9:30 a. m. Although convelescing, Rev. Hil son pastor.rendered a very touch ing sermon at 11 o’clock, from Jeremiah, 31 :1*14. His proclama tion on “Home Coming” was very imploring. In speaking of how the Israelites had strayed from Cod, he also reprimanded the slothful Christians. The ser mon reallv meant the restoration of the children of God. At 5:30 p. m. the P>. Y. P. TT. was opened by its president, Mr. William Cooper. In a very im pressive manner the program chairman attempted to divine the most learned in.the Bible, the men or women. She stated there seem* ed to be no difference, with the exception that all needed to read the Good Book oftener and more thoroughly. This “Bible Even ing” program was sponsored by Group Xo. 7. Next Sundav there is to be another enjoyable pro gram. At 8 p. m. an agreeable meeting was held, and Rev. Hil son did not neglect to demonstrate his most essential vision with his training. “For the ablest men are those who are able to summon the most en thusiasm.” We were pleased with the many members and visiting friends pre sent Sunday.

Under a bedlam of frenzied yells the boys from the Mid-City marched down the floor to score successive!;,' against the “Aces”. The final score was Mid-City 27, Aces 20. The second game started out in a dull system of passes which were des tined to end up in a thrilling race for victory. The Hunter’s All-Stars took the lead at the beginning, but the players for the Urban League were not to be daunted by this. They made a last half rally, and a long shot by Dixon barely failed missing the bas ket as the whistle blew. The game ended with Hunter’s All-Stars 14, and the Urban League 12. F. Dixon, Official W.

I « LAW ENFORCEMENT The problem of the hour in every section of the United States is the nforcement cf the law. Such a wave of crime as never before has seemngV enveloped the whole coun try. The president of these United States has been aroused to its im mensity and every official connected with the law enforcement machinery r m the AdminJstraton of Justice Office in Washington down to the o-stal ulary in the smallest hamlet and village, have with renewed vigor and determination resolved to put a stop to it by usng every means and agency within their power to appre hend and punish the culprits. The appalling gravity of the situ ation can be seen by the calling of the Crime Conference in Washington toy the President a few months ago. The Negro as a race may be compli mented on the fact that up to the present, they have not developed any Dillingers, Burkes, Barrows and oth er public enemy gangsters in their race, but they have those among their group who are in a way, as des structive to the best interests of the rest of them as the gangsters above mentioned are to the peace and sec urity of the nation at large. Es pecially was this true in Omaha in 1934. Twelve Negroes Murdered By Negroes— From January 1, 1934, to January 1, 1935, twelve Negroes were mur dered by Negroes in Omaha, averag ing one for each month, and this too, in a community that can boast of only about 14,000 Negroes. Jn fact the number of Negroes murdered was exceeded by only a small margin, if any, by that of the whites, who num ber in population over 200,000. It is evident by this that some step must be taken to safeguard the peace and security of the citizens who comprise this group, and it is also self-evident that it must, and by right, should, be done by the Negroes themselves. A few weeks ago a meeting was called by some of the Negroes of the city for the purpose of taking some steps to curb the type of Negro, known as the “killer” in his lust for blood, and from that meeting an or ganization was formed to be known hereafter as the Citizens’ Law En forcement Committee. It is under stood that the purpose of this commit tee, primarily, is to work and do all within its power to see that those charged with crmes of mfurder shall be properly and vigorously prosecuted so that peaceful, law-abiding citizens may safely walk the streets of our cit;J. SOCIAL NOTES OF LINCOLN, NEBR. Mrs. Arvella Bangs-Moore, wife of the famous Orchestra leader, Grant Moore, returned home to Lincoln this week to the bedside of her ill moth er, Mrs. Banks. She was accompan ied by a friend, Miss Marion Aber nathy, of Chicago, who is a nightly attraction at the Grand Terrace Cafe. Many parties and social fetes were given by Mrs. Banks’ many friends for her and her guest. Tom White is becoming quite pro fessional at his new party-time occu pation—Cocktail shaking. By virtue of his passing such a try ing test with so little effort, and his innumerable conquests in other fields —all of which I wouldn’t mention— Ralph Adams has unanimously be come Lincoln’s “Play-Boy.” Tip End of Cuba he tip end of Cuba, near Havana) hes the imaginary line of ti:H ic of Cancer—the region of eter 'nshlne.
