I. Ananias and Sapphira (Acts
5:1-11).
The new community formed after
Pentecost is now for the first time
called the Church. Since the Chris
tians have now broken with Judaism
the success of the new community de
pends upon its gaining recognition.
The Church is now superseding the
Mosaic economy. It was now to be
God’s dwelling place, as hitherto it had
been in the Tabernacle and Temple, j
Their sanctity was now being trans- j
ferred to the Church. This fact the j
Church itself must learn as well as
the Jewish people who surrounded it.
, L Their sin (vv. 1, 2). It was a
hypocritical imitation of the generous
act of Barnabas (4:36, 37). Because
of the particular distress of the early
, Church following its open rupture with
[Judaism, its members for a time had
a “community of goods.” This was not
! universal nor permanenL Ananias
kept back a part of the proceeds from
> the sale of his land, while pretending
to have brought it all. ills wife was
a partner In 1L They wanted the
> honor of generosity without paying
the price thereof.
i 2. 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. CHURCH
“The Friendly Church”
Rev. L. P. Bryant, Pastor
The fine weather made a big dif
ference in the attendance at St. John’s
last Sunday. Rev. Bryant preached
in the morning and the choir gave its
regular fourth Sunday night all re
quest program.
The cars in the rally are moving off
by degrees. Miss A. Offutt is now in
the lead. See your captain, and help
get yiour group in the lead. There
are some interesting programs in the
near future that will benefit the rally
fund.
The Sunday School is still looking
for you to come and stary your regu
lar attendance every Sunday. Last
Fr.day at the teachers’ meeting, there
was a program in the form, of a dis
cussion on the growth of the Christ
ian Church. The problems of the
Methodistsm was one of the main
points for discussion.
The members and friends of the
Church regret to know of the death of
the husband of Mre. Flora Rhodes.
Our deepest sympathy goes out to
sister Rhodes and family in their days
of sorrow.
Now that the weather is getting
tetter as the spring draws near, we
hope that the members and friends
will attend all services and come on
time that they may get the full gos
pel message in store for them,

SALEM BAPTIST CHURCH
22nd and Seward Sts.
Rev. E. H. Hison, Pastor
'After the session of Sunday School,
presided over by the superintendent,
had ended, the minister took his place
in the pulpit. 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. Hilson, the great Bish
op L. M. Musgraves, of Oklahoma.

SENATOR OOSTIGAN TO SPEAK
FEB. 12 OVER NATION-WIDE
RADIO ON ANTI-LYNCH BILL
New York, Jan. 25.—Senator Ed
ward P. Costigan and perhaps Sena
tor Robert F. Wagner will speak over
a nation-wide radio hook-up of the
Columbia Broadcasting System Tues
day, February 12, at 11:00 p. m. East
ern standard time, on the Costigan
Wagner anti-lynching bill, it was an
nounced here today by the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People.
The exact stations in the broadcast
are not known tod at’, but the list will
be made public as soon as member
stations of the Columbia chain reply
to headquarters on whether or not
they have local commercial programs
at that hour. All stations which are
free will carry the speech.
With the broadcast coming on Feb
ruary 12, the 26th birthday of the as
sociation, the national office in New
York has issued an appeal to all
branches to arrange meetings on that
night with an appropriate program,
the climax of which would be the
speech over the radio against lynch
mg. Branches have been urged to
arrange for the connection of radio
loudspeakers in halls and auditoriums
so that the Costigan speech may be
heard by the assembled audience. For
listeners in the middle west the
speech will come through at 10 p. m.
and for mountain zone listeners at
9 p.m.
N. A. A. C. P. branches are asking
all cooperating organizations to join
them in sponsoring these meetings.
The national office is asking all per
sons interested in supporting this
leg station to make inquiry of their
local Columbia radio station whether
it intends carrying the anti-lynching
speech.
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.

FEDERAL EMERGENCY RELIEF
ADMINISTRATION
Must Make ‘Excellent Biscuits' to
Succeed As Household Worker
In The South, Says FERA
Official.
Mrs. Ellen S. 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<y local requirements for the
position of general household work
er”.
