OMAHA COMMUNITY BIBLE FORUM Last Thursday night we returned to our regular line of study in Reve lations, 9th chapter. “The Fifth An gel Sounded, and I Saw a Star Fall From Heaven Onto the Earth and to Him Was Given the Key of the Bot tomless Pit.” Of course, this is meta phonic. The star that fell is the Prince of the Air. The Devil has the key to all places of hatred, malice, revenge, and immoral repute. Bot tomless means the deep-seated evils in the minds of men. The smoke represents the wicked influence of a sinful city, race or nation. The locust means soldiers, has power as scor pions . It means that this army was not to kill but to torture and pillage the city. It was made very clear that this vision has been fulfilled. It seems to have been God’s temporal judg ment on those wicked men who re jected Christ and persecuted His children. Wo meet Thursday, 8 o’clock, at 2012 N. 27th Street. Elder W. I. Irving, teacher Mrs. G- W. Gorum, reporter.

PRESENTS RACE STORY IN A PAGEANT AT CONVENTION HALL (Continued from Page 1) and bitter tears set to mjusic. Not only were there presented the African Jungle chants and the mourn ful, moving spiritual born of misery, bondage and oppression, but there were also the jubilant songs of Free dom, songs which saw the fulfillment of the Negro’s long-awaited freedom. This not only was depiction of music, but it was also history—history that was more effective than mere reading from a book of history. It was thrust ing one in a very midst of a people’s experiences and letting one see and feel other’s experiences with his own ayes. In the episode depicting slavery, the lights were turned on while the great Lincoln High School chorus sang, “I Couldn’t Hear Nobody Pray”. The i crowd saw the two Simon Legrees, cruel and with lash in hand, beat un mercifully men, women and children as they cringed here and there, beg ging, pleading for mercy in vain. Then followed the Emancipation by Abraham Lincoln, benevolent of heart and possessing nobility of soul, who with outstretched arms made citizens out of countless slaves, slaves whose children and grandchildren today are still the same grateful race of their fore-fathers. Then the next episode—one of mod em music—portrayed the inherent exuberant sp.rit of a people who can drink as deeply of the joys of life as they have of the sorrows”. The over powering and fascinating rhythm and life of their music was demonstrated in the singing, particularly in Gill Marion Cook’s “Swing Along”. Will Marion Cook is a brother of H. O. Cook, present principal of Lincoln H.gh School. In the fifth episode, the Negro’s deep religion despite his seeming light-heartedness was protrayed in a song, “De Lawd Dat Lives on High” by J. Hartwell Cook, son of H. O. Cook, Lincoln’s Principal. In the Grand Finale—'Hope—1935—there was a choral accompaniment, Hats Off to Lincoln High’’, by J. Hartwell Cook.. Games and stunt exhibitions pre ceeded the pageant. Demonstrations were made by the physical education department, the dancing and mil.tary groups. The military dr.ll was aided by the Boy Scout Drum and Bugle Corps, the demonstrations having been made with startling exactment. Un questionably, the crowning demonstra tion of the pre-pageant demonstration was the presentation of the Finnish Folkdance in the “Blue Danube” waltz by 210 upper class girls, who danced with an ease, poise and precision which transcend verbal depiction. They were very fittingly att-red. Thunderous applause went up from all sections of the mammoth Convention Hall at the conclusion of the “Blue Danube” waltz. The tap dance was also applauded much. This program was the Ninth Annual Musical and Physical Exhibition by the Lincoln High School MAXIE MILLER WRITES ■ (For The Literary Service Bureau) Man 60 Loves Woman 30 — Marriage with Her Would Be Taking a Long Chance—Would Be a Question of Prime and Dotage—Better Get One Nearer Your Own Age, Old Lover. (For advice, write to Maxie Miller, care of Literary Service Bureau, 516 Minnesota Ave., Kansas City, Kans. For personal reply send self-addressed, stamped envelope.) \ Maxie Miller:—I am a man sixty years old and I’m in love with a wo man just thirty. Do you think she is too young for me ? She knows my age and still says she wants to marry me I can take good care of her. I was good to my wife that died and I think I can make this woman happy. What do you advise?—Old Lover. Old Lover:—To enter into marriage under the circumstances mentioned is to take a long chance. It comes to gambling with destiny. When this woman is forty and in her prims you will be sevenlly and doubtless in your dotage. Under such circumstances men generally are jealous and un reasonable, and the woman may be careless or stubborn; and your peace is gone- Better take one nearer to your own age-—Maxie Miller.
