General services were held last Sunday. At the morning services the. pastor preached from Jeremiah, 2:13 on “Brok en Cisterns”—“My people have committed two evils, they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out, cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.” At the evening worship the subject was “Being Baptized with the Holy Ghost and Fire.” Matt. 3:11. This does not mean that the recipient acts unintcl ligently, but the Holy Spirit burns out all impure traces of character and constantly con sumes these tendencies as they hre brought to the heart, “for our God is a consuming fire.’’ ITeh. 12:29. The public is invit ed to attend our services. V PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST CHURCH 27th and Franklin Streets Rev. P. J. Price, Pastor Rev. E. E. Whilhtte, Ass’t- Pastor E. W. Faulkner, Reporter Sunday school was very in teresting as usual. The program rendered by Miss Charlesetta TJpcher was splendid .Rev. O. W. White of Tabernacle Bap tist Church in Council Bluffs, visited with us and gave some good remarks. We have in mind the pastor whose condi tion was reported poor, and continued to pray. Rev. G. W. White delivered the sermon, the text was found in Isaiah 6.8. Rev. Cooper read the scripture lesson. John 17. Rev. W. Hall and Rev. J. TT Revnolds were among the morn ing visitors who left some fine thoughts for the congregation. BYPU was as always, enjoy able. As the other auxiliaries of the church it is progressing Rev. Reynolds was the speak er for the evening. He rendered both the scripture lesson and sermon. Rev. 4 chapter, Psalm PP F> respectively. We aro asking every praying person in Omaha to remember Rev. Priee. , ST. JOHN A M E OHURCH •THE FRIENDLY CHURCH” 22nd Street and Willis Avenue Rev. L. I*. Bryant, Pastor L. L. McVay, Itep. With the closing of the confer ence year the enthusiasm seems to ; mount. To start the day off right, the Sunday school was very well attended. Rev. Bryant brought a well filled house a most convincing and complete sermon. His text was taken from Matthew 7th chapter, 22-23 verses. The subject of his sermon was ‘‘The necessity of examining your title." Included in this sermon were the impressive remarks that “if your title is all right, your faith is all right. We want a title that is unmoved, one that floods cannot wash away, one that the * flames cannot destroy, one that can stand up under any pressure, no matter how strong it might be. It is very necessary that one examine his title daily to she if it will stand the test of flood and flame. Most of us ar« in danger of being satisfied with the standard of the religion in our community, which standard is Very low. We ought to examine our title and if the religion of our community does not come up to the Standi >rd of the religion of Jesus Christ, our title is worthless.” Ac cording to the response and en thusiasm in the congregation, this was one of the best sermons ever preached by Rev. Bryant. Nothing v.ys left unsaid and the congrega tion turned away, their thirsty siuln, thirsty for the religion of Jesus Christ, filled to the utmost. Surely those who attended services on Sunday gained much by being present. Rev. Bryant is still asking that each individual do his i>art in the raising of the conference Claime so that St. John can report a full as sessment at the Annual Conference. SALEM BAPTIST CHURCH 28th and Decatur Street* Rev. M. R. Rilbrew, pastor Johnny Ro*ebaugh, reporter The Sunday School’s progress is continuing under the earnest effort of Supt. J. L. Reagans. The church services were well attended thru out Sunday. The pastor brought to us an inspiring message. The mor ning text was found in Rom. 11:18, the evening text, Psalms 102:27. The ]taster and officers wish to express their sincere appreciation to the churches that came te our aid in our financial effort which was past the $300.00 mark. 'rhe B. Y. P.

RANDY CAMPBELL VISITS THE GUIDE OFFICE Sandy Campbell, 76 year-old v>-d warrior, came in the office of the Omaha Guide accompanied by Mr. C. C. Galloway. The following is the story he had bo tell. Horn a slave, April 19, 1861, in Whitehall, Carolina, Wayne coun ty, he became a warrior of the road early in life. In 1918, while attempting to catch a B and O freight train, near Glenwood, Pa., his left leg was cut off ami three toes of the right foot. Undaunted by this, after a sixteen months dtay in a Baltimore hospital, he again answered the “call of the road.” i Reniiniscenting, Mr, Campbell (said that in 1882 he worked as a braketman on the C. Y. and Y. V., now the A. C. L., receiving 12Vfce per hour, the engineer receiving only 18c per hour. Mr. Campbell has, according to his own sitory, traveled all over the United States and in five Europ I can countries. He arrived in Oma ha Tuesday morning on the C. B. and Q. railroad, and expected to leave over the same road bhat night. Adding a touch of humor to his story, our road friend advised us that "a rich democrat hates a poor democrat and a rich republican hates a poor republican—all of which makes a poor fight. Admiring the articles of cloth ing given him by Mr. Galloway, Mr. Campbell said that all around were to be seen fellows “all dress ed up, but had no where to go," while he would soon be all dressed up, with plenty of places to go.” PERSONAL STATEMENT “I can say without fear of con tradiction that we, as Negroes of the midwestem region of the Uni ted States, are now receiving the greatest opportunity of all time to particcipate in and to gain for our selves a worth while position in politics on a national scale. *1 feel that this fact can not or must not be considered a matter of small significance to a minority group in a country which is under a democratic form of government such as ours. There are many stresses under which we find our- | selves toiling, not particularly as Negroes, but as members of a min ority group, that can be alleviated chiefly though intelligent partici •pation in politics. "I am convinced that President Roosevelt is the man for the peo ple o{ the United States and even more certain that he will be reel ected. Through careful cooperation and coordination of individual and the various group activities with those efforts of Aitt’y- Charles F. Davis, who has been appointed State Dir ector of the Colored division of the National Democratic campaign, I am sure that we can well accom plish our share of the work. Charles F.

Bryce Cmwford County Judge 9-19-3t I Ford Questions Political Stand Of Jesse Owens (Continued From Page 11 The noted Negro leader paid a high tribute o the Buckeye Bullet, warmly praising Owens’ achieve ments at the Olympics. He ques tioned, however, whether the 22 year old track star, who will cast his first presidential vote thus year was sufficiently conversant with the issues of he 1936 campaign, the most potentious since the Civil War, to warrant his coming out openly for Landon. In this connec tion, Ford cited Jesse’s own ad mission that he was no acquainted with all the issues of the cam 'paign. In an interview at KepuoMcan eastern headquarters here, Jesse had told reporters: “He (Iandon) does not promise a lot of things but what promises he makes I be lieve he will keep. I am just an athlete and I don’t know all the figures and arguments, but I do know a sincere man when I read his record and speeches.” Displaying a warm regard for Owens throughout the discussion, Ford contended that Jesse was un wittingly doing his race a disser vice by supporting Iandon. The Communist candidate backed up his contentions with caustic references to Tandon’s record; his support of racial discrimination at the Uni versity of Kansas where Iandon appointees have introduced dis criminatory practices against Ne gro students; the Kansas govern or’s advocacy of $1.08 a week re lief for a Kansas unemployed fam ily of five; and his use of troops last year o defeat a strike of Kan sas miners for 'better condiions. One gathered from Ford’s remarks that he had serious doubts that Jesse had given careful study to I .andon’s record. “Owens was unwise to support L’andon, whose most notorious backer, William Randolph Hearst, has ideas identical with those of Hitler, who insulted Negroes all over the world by his treatment of Owens in Berlin,” Ford asserted. “Owens” he continued, “made a splendid record at the Olympics for himself and his race, but un knowingly he is doing his people— my people— a disservice by sup porting Landpn.” Hits Jim-Crow in Sports A former athlete himself, Ford remarked that he could appreciate what Jesse has been up against in sports by reason of jim-crow practices. He had played semi-pro fessional baseball himself and knew of numerous qualified Ne gro players “who were kept out of the big leagues because of jim crow club owners and sport offi cials.” Assailing Landon as a puppet of the reacionary Hearst-Liberty Lea gue-Black Legion combination Ford expressed the ouinion that Jesse would have done better to aropt a non-partisan attiude if he did not want to join with the pro gressive forces seeking “to keep Hearst out of the White House.” He thought Jesse could have done a great service to his people by throwing “all his energy and his word-wide prestige with those pro gressive forces which are building a Farmer-Labor party throughout the countx-y and right in Owens’ home state, Ohio.” K.
