OMAHA COMMUNITY BIBLE FORUM In our lessons last Thursday night, Revelation 14 chapter, the visionary scene changed from the cruel reign on the beast, mention ed in the foregoing chapter, to Christ and Ills followers standing on Mount Zion, elevated above the enemies of his Kingdom. Note the small number sealed with the Holy Spirit of God. It showed that Christ had a number of Vir gins of pure and undefiled gar ments, who did zealously and sin cerely worship him and that the light of the Gospel which has, been so long suppressed should at length break forth gloriously in the faithful preaching of it, to the downfall of Babylon, and the comfort of Zion the Church of God. Th’s chapter acquainted us with the happy conditions of those who die with the Lord in their Life, and particularly those who gave their lives for the Gospels’ sake. It concludes with an ac count of the dreadful punishment which God would inflict upon their persecutors. We met at 2012 N. 27th Street. Thursday at 8 p. m. Elder W. I. Irving teacher. Mrs. G. W.

Marsh, Camden, Ala bama; Ernest E. Neal, Knoxville; Ruby L- Reynolds, Thomasville, N. C., and Rudolph Shearer, John son City, Tennessee. "The Negro College and the Com munity” was the subject of Dr. Cali ver's practical commencement mes sage. “The college must take cognizance of the things people do and help to do them,” said the noted educator “Students must learn to lead by lead ing. Channels of self-expression should be offered in a realistic way.” The speaker suggested organization of a model community on the campus and the further participation of the college in comimuvty life lhe Negro college should roll up its sleeves and do five things in the community: “First, assist in discovering the needs and the problems of the com munity . “Second, formulate aims and ob jectives for the community. “Third, lead in carrying out th( aims. “Fourth, coordinate agencies foi social betterment in the community. “Fifth, develop a comprehensive program of adult education for th« community and all alumni.'f’ Dr- Caliver believes that if the college does these things, student* will see the relation of education tc living. “Th next steps for the Negro col lege in its relation to the community are to make possible home life in keeping with American ideals and standards, to provide adequate vo cational opportunities, to secure for the community full participation in citizenship, adequate facilities for recreation and training in the use of leisure time, to improve health con ditions, and to develop character. “Every Negro college should adopt these goals as their own,” declared the speaker. To the graduating class, Dr. Cali ver said: “Be teachable, be indus trious, live simply. This is the key to success- The mases, floundering between segregation and integration, without a program, need your lead ship.” Dr. Ralph W. McGranahan of Pittsburgh, who was president of Knoxville college when Dr Caliver graduated in 1915, was pres ent for commencement and pro nounced the benediction following the awarding of degrees and honors.
