Their Judgmeot (vv. HO). : Physical death was visited upon An anias end Sapphira for their sin. They filed to the Holy Ghost ha keeping hack a part of the price of their land. They ware not obliged to sell their land ar, having gold It, to bring any of thetr .money and place It In the common fund. People today are walking In the way of Ananias and Sapphira when they make a profession of Christianity for temporal gain and pleasure. Preaching the sermons of Moody, Spurgeon, etc., without giving credit is another form of this evil. God is passing judgment upon many for their sins of this kind (1 Cor. 11:27-30). 3. The effect (vv. IMG). a. Great fear came upon the Church and upon all who heard of these things (v. 11). The Church should be re garded as holy because of 1ft being the very dwelling place of the Most High God. Irreverence is an outstanding sin of this age. b. Multitudes of men and women were added to the Lord (vv. 14, 15). The fame of Peter was spread far and wide, so that the people were anxious to come under his Bhadow. The proper recognition of the holiness of the Church, the body of Christ, will bring many to Christ for salvation. c. Hypocrites did not dare to join (v 13). The vindication of the holi ness of the Church deterred none but hypocrites from joining. No unre generate person and nothing unhal lowed has any place in the Church. ' il. Simon the Sorcerer (Acts 8:18 24). ' 1. His wicked request (vv. 18, 19). ,When Simon saw that Peter's power to work wonders exceeded his own and that this power was received through the laying ou of hands, he offered money for the gift This act revealed his hypocrisy. He professed faith in Christ and was baptized, and even followed the apostles for a selfish end. Traffic In sacred things is called “Simony," from the name of this sor cerer. Making merchandise of Chris tianity is committing the same sin. Using the name of Christ for the pur pose of gain is to be guilty of this sin. 2. Peter’s severe rebuke (w. 20-22). a. “Thy money perish with thee.” This implies that Peter's judgment was that Simon was unregenerate and that he himself was in the way of perish ing. b. “Thy heart Is not right in the sight of God.” One whose inner life delights in God could not seek the Spirit’s power for selfish reasons, C. “Repent of thy wickedness and pray to God for forgiveness.” While Peter recognized that this man was unsaved, he did not regard him aa be yond the hope of salvation, but urged him to turn from his sin and ask fov forgiveness. \ 4. “Thou art la the gall of bitten ness and In the bond of Iniquity." The one and only thing for this au to de era* to repent and one for ferglreneea Simon requested Pecer*e prayer to the end that he might Ihlm )*dy moot. ST. JOHN S A. M. E.

There was evidence of much tension as the gospel was delish ed by all present. His subject was one of caution, ,‘The Covenant With Death and Hell”. The passage of scripture for 'ths liable subject is Isaiah 28:14-19. Rev. Hilson stated that Judgement should first start in the house of God; that now is the time to pray, for the people must first come back to God before He will come back to them. Among the many in attendance Sun da;!, we were happy to see Mr. J. D. Lewis, one of the outstanding mortic ians of our race, Mr. Robert Jackson, Mr. John McGaugh, a Fellow'-Worker from Chicago, and manly other visit ing friends, including a personal friend of Rev.

FAKE CHARGES AGAINST JANE NEWTON DISMISSED; WAS PERSECUTED BECAUSE SHE MARRIED A NEGRO Chicago, 111.—(CNA)—A city-wide protest here by Negro and white toil ers resulted in the dismissal of ‘dis orderly conduct’ charges against Jane Emery Newton (white), wife of Her bert Newton, Communist leader. Case Storm Center of Struggle The Newton case has been the storm center of struggle and contro versy for several months. Early in December, the Newtons moved into the apartment of a friend, Mrs. Wil liams (white) at 615 Oakwood Boule vard. When the landlord, Dr. Mit chell, learned of their presence, he served an eviction notice signed by Judge Green on Mrs. Williams. When the Newtons and Mrs. Williams re fused to move, the police swooped down on the apartment and arrested the Newtons. At once, Dr. David Rotman, munici pal psychiatrist, delared Mrs. Newton to be a Victim of ‘dementia simplex’ or in the cruder words of Judge Green she must be insane to marry a Negro. Jane Newton was fined $200 and placed on probaton. T*_ . • mm _ _ nrmiant Subsequent examinations by psy chiatrists proved that she was not on ly sane but exceptionally brilliant. Mass protest rallied by the League of Struggle for Negro Rights forced the court last week to dismiss the charge of disorderly conduct, to revoke the fine and to lift the probation. At the same time, Herbert Newton, arrested for picketing the Oakwood Belief station, was freed. He still faces two charges arising from the j eviction struggle. FERA WORK PROGRAM RECEIVES HELP OF PLANNED PROCEDURES Jacob Baker Assistant Administra tor of the FERA in charge of the Work Relief Program, in a recent bulletin to State and local Emergency relief administrations has suggested working procedures for six socially valuable projects which can be carried on with a minimum expenditure for materials thru those on relief, who are qualified, regardless of race, creed or color. These special service pro jects offer deal opportunities for the training and talents in a coordinated community prograny ^ The first, “Developing and Planning New Projects,” suggests fundamental methods for proper preparation of work projects. “Foods and Nutrition” offer a big opportunity for home economics classes enlarged community friend ships and the application of the broadest educatonal interests. “Demonstration Use of Surplus1 Commodities” suggests procedures for I instruction in the preparation of ap petizing dishes by relief clients for themselves through those competent to teach, but at present unemployed. “Publicity for Public Health” fur ther emphasizes the real and constant campaign for social progress along a broadening welfare front for all the people. “Recording Results of Work Pro jects indicates the scientific and reg ular check up on procedure and test ing methods during the actual pro gress of the work projects. “Photographic Records of Work Project#,” suggests pictures of work projects both for the edificaton of those participating and their neigh bors about them. PROTESTED RELIEF CUT ARRESTED FOR DIS ORDERLY CONDUCT Patterson, N. J.—(CNA)—James | Pinkey, 50 year-old unemployed labor er was arrested m the office of Case | Sup’t Doris Keller of the Emergency | Unemployment Relief Association when he protested the cutting off of his relief. Two white workers, Sol Walker and George Norman, members of the Unit ed Unemployed Relief Association who accompanied Pinkey, were also arrest ed. Because Pinkos wife, who died re cently, left a small insurance, he was dropped from the relief role. The of ficials argued that the sum was suf ficent to enable Pinkey to exist for 6 months. Most of the money was spent for ufneral expenses and the remain der for immediate necessities. When Pinkey and the two white workers went to the supervisor’s of fieee and refused to leave unless re lief was resumed, the officials order ed the arrest of the workers on Dis orderly Conduct charges. N R. A. HILIGHTS 1934 EAGLES GOOD IN 1935: The NIRB has announced that Blue Eagles for particular trades and industries marked “1934”, as well as those originally issued under the President’s Reemploy ment Agreement, may be used in 1935. Restitutions Averaging $75,000 Weelcly: Through the efforts of the 54 field officers of the Com pliance Division, workers are now enjoying backwage resrdtion at the rate of $75,000 a week. Since June 16. 1934, the total sum won for workers by the field officers is $1,468,000. Stay Ordered On Scrip Prov isions: Provisions of various re tail codes which prohibit the ac ceptance of “script” in payment for goods have been stayed for thirty days, to and including Feb ruary 6, 1945, under an order an nounced by the NIRB. The codes affected are those for the retail trade, the retrail jewelry trade and the retrail food and grocerv trade, together with “any other code or codes” in which similar provisions may exist. One Code Assessment for Re tail Trade: he NIRB has approv ed an order under which a firm engaged in retail trade will be required to pay only one assess ment for code administration re gardless of the number of retail codes w'hieh affect portions of its business. However, it will be required to pay that assessment on a basis to cover its ent're re. tail business, no matter how many lines it includes and othe.r than its retail business will not be af fected. The action indicates sim ilar simplification throughout the code structure as soon as equit able means for working it o>ut are perfected. Cotton Garment Code Author ity: The NTtA has reconstituted the Code Authority of the Cot ton Garment Manufacturing In try. The membership was remov ed bv executive order on Decem ber 6, last, most of the old mem bers are reinstated. The cause for dropping the others is that they have interests which conflict with their duties as Code Authority members. Emergency In Cigarette Trade Expended: he NIRB has extended to January 26, inclusive, orders recognizing an emergency due to destructive price cutting in the wholesale and retail cigarette trades and fixing minimum mark ups. The extension was granted in order to provide additional time for review of a survey by the NRiA Research and Planning Div ision of conditions in the cigar ette trade. Specific Labeling Proposed: The Industrial Advisory Board, which has investigated the results of 16 years of grade labeling in Canada, reports that only one housewife out of eight buys on the strength of them, and only two out of eight knows that cans are labeled. It propeses that American canners use descriptions instead of sym" hols as “A”. “B’\ and “C\ or the words Fancy, Choice and Standard. _ PENNSYLVANIA MAN IS EXON ERATED ON RAPE CHARGE New York, Jan. 25.—Samuel Smith, reputable Lewistown, Pa., man tried and convicted in November 1933, for alleged attempted assault with intent to rape a white woman, has been com petely exonerated. On July 4, 1934, the trial court refused a new trial but in December the Superior Court of Pennsylvania held that evidence was insufficient to show criminal intent, that the highest offense that could possibly arise from the evidence was simple assault and battery, and or dered a new trial. Now, according to the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People which contributed $100 to Smith’s defense, the prosecutrix, one Ada Wise, has withdrawn all charges, and on motion of the District Attorney in open court on January 18, the Judge granted a dismissal.

BRING DEAD TO LIFE WITH LATE DEVICES One Stimulates Heart, Another Re stores Breathing. New York.—Nearly 500 persons apparently dead have been brought back to life in New York and Chicago by two of the scientific instruments recently developed by physicians. Many of these 500 were quite lit erally “dead” by ordinary tests—a few of them new-born babies whose bodies had been laid asSde with the last hope given up. The 500 were restored not only to life but to health. They are the an swer of organized medicine to spec tacular ideas of reviving dogs, sui cides and executed criminals. They are the practical application of the same knowledge which is being used for the more sensational experiments. The imn^ediate objective is an an nual compart,' of Amertcan “dead” about equaling the number of auto mobile fatalities. It is believed that as many as 50,000 in this group could be saved yearly if the new devices reached them soon enough. Gold Needle Saves. There is no progress yet toward re storing to life the person who has died of a wasting disease—nor any wish by physicians to attempt it. About 200 of those brought back to life here and in Chicago were treated with the artificial pacemak er, a gold needle which stimulates heart beats with electrical impulses at the rate of 30 to 120 a minute. This needle was brought out two years ago by the Witkin foundation of Beth David hospital, New York Tty. It grew' out of the fact that up to 1930 about 60 persons, apparently dead, had been brought back to life by hypodermic injections directly in to their hearts. Adrenalin was frequently used, but even a ‘shot’ of caffein similarly given, restored some of the ‘dead.’ This all called attention to a mighty effort w'hich nature herself makes in every heart, in the first 90 seconds after it stops, to get it to resume beat ing. I he heart quickly loses alkalinity, and its acidity rises. With rising acidiS.’ the heart, becomes a better conductor of electricity, its own nat ural control is partly electrical, with exceedingly faint chemical-electric currents. Gives Electric Shock The prick of a needle, without any hypodermic at all, is an electric shock to a heart in this condition. Realization brought the j rotection of the ‘artificial pacemaker’ to supply electric impulses. It was found also that the heart has an electrical pacemaker of its own, a small group of cells in the right auricle, which seem to regulate the beat of the entire heart muscle. The gold electrical needle is used to substitute for these pacemaking cells. Use of the needle tip there, instead of haphazardly about the heart, ap peared to be frequently the direct source of recovery of life and perma nent health. The other new device for restoring the ‘dead’ is an insufflator, sponsored by the society for the prevention of asplrsxial death. It is a pressure ap paratus for mechanical breathing, which goes a step farther than the ‘mechanical lungs,’ the equipment of emergency squads and artificial res piration. Insufflation forces oxygen and car bon dioxide into the lungs. Moreover it mixes them when necessary in pro portions to stimulate as well as give the ordinary effects of air. ITALY ‘DISCOVERS’ ABYSSINIAN OIL Then Invades Only Independent Negro Republic New York,—(CNA)—Discovery of rich oil deposits in Abyssinian reveals the cause of the unprovoked invasion of that country by troops of the Fac ist dictator Mussolini. The attraction of Abssinian uplands for Italy’s ‘sur plus’ population is also advanced as a reason for the attack. The oil wells at Ualual were long guarded by Italian troops before the attack on December 5. Official maps, however, place this territory well within the boundaries of Abyssinia. France’s agreement to Italy’s propos ed participation in control of the rail roda from Djibouti to Addis Ababa, Abyssinian capital, undoubtedly means that Italy will be placed in a position to exercise control of arms shipments and other supplies of national defense which Abyssinia must bring by rail from Djibouti. •TUBBS SYX WKYS HAIR GROWER keeps the hair straight, Beautifies and grows at the same time.

Woodward head of the woman’s division of the Federal Emergency Reilef Administration sent out a bulletin this week to fort.,-eight ! State Administrators and the Virgin Islands, in response to hundreds of re quests from responsible city and coun try heads of work programs, setting forth Information on standards for training general household workers. "In the South, it is essential that a general household worker be able to make excellent biscuits”, says Mrs. ■ Woodward. 1 “This may be more important,” she ocntinues, “to the success of the Worker than to be able to know a lit tle about making a variety of dishes and have skill in none”. Mrs. Wi ,'dwar^ further points out that it is desirable to distinguish clearly between training as nurse maids or cooks and training as gen eral household workers. She also suggests that a survey be made as to the demand for household workers in in a given communty. The number of women on relief who can profit by such training should be considered and small groups ranging from 4 to 20, homegeneous as to education, training, and ages should be selected as far as possible. A school Y. W. C. A., community service center, or church may be used for the place of instruction and avail able unemployed teachers utilized, as well as special supervision of home economics teachers from departments of education and colleges. Qualified home makers may also be selected to give instruction. A liberal and intel ligent approach to the problem of em ployer-employee relationships is in dicated in the following suggestion: “A meeting may be called of house hold employers and employees to list the things householders wish done by a general household worker, hours of work, wages and other relationships. Th;s may then be used as a basis for the course”. The bulletin goes on to some length in suggesting plans of procedure and a comprehensfve and scientific tech nique where desired, but the chief emphasis is well summed up by this concluding sentence: “Contents of the course will be gov erned l
