THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving in America is a
national holiday, originated in New
England after the pioneers had
raised their first successful crop.
Pecause of certain religious trou
bies in England, people became dis
satisfied and wet;e forced to leave
and seek some place where they
might worship as they desiied
Curing the migration period a
small colony, with the permission
of the king, set sail for the new
world in a small vessel, the May
flower. After a rough voyage they
finally landed at Plymouth Hock.
Every year these p’lgrims wit
nessed many hardships such as
tjha fighting of Indians, drought,
poor crops and many other dis
couraging things until at last one
winter everything went fine and
there were no more hardship” to
endure.
In 1623 Governor Bradford is
sued a proclamation stating that a
day of feasting and prayer should
be set aside bo fchank God for their
success, annually, after every
harvest. These appointments were
• roelamation of the governors of
several New England Colonies.
During the Revolution a day of
rational Thanksgiving annually
was recomended by Congress. In
1864, President Abraham Lincoln
appointed a day of Thanksgiving,
and since then the prcs:dents have
issued general proclamations de
signating the last Thursday in
November as that of Thanksgiving
Day.
This Week in
Thought and Religion
By Robert L. Moody
Christian Fruitfulness
Previously we have studied and
discussed Christian Sonship, re
ltewal, peace, ministry and work
< rs. Now we shad consider '‘Fruit
bearing.”
Many who do not. want their
evils known, use Matt. 7:1 us a
cloak, “Judge not, that ye be not
judged.” But verse 4 makes us
know that this was told to the
‘hyprocrites’ or Pharisees.’ ‘Church
members” of His day. These were
sinners in disguise. But He, when
speaking of the ‘good” tree and
“corrupt” tree (v. 15 to 20) said,
“Wherefore by their fruits ye shall
khow them.” v. 20. So according
to Christ ami the Bible, we are to
judge one as being or not being a
Christian, by their fruits.
No one is nor can be a Christian
without bringing forth fruit. There
is no such thing as once in Christ
-'always in Christ, for he said
‘ Every branch that hearth not
fruit bo taken away. If n man
abide not. in me, he is cast forth
as a branch into the fire.” John
15:25. It is your privilege to abide
or stay in Christ, but you may also
fret out. One is only kept as long
as he is willing to be kept.
Our lesson for this week is quite
inspiring. There atff degrees in
l'ruit benring, e. g. teaches that He
is the vine i. c, life, and “every
branch that beareth fruit, He
purgeth (purify or prune) it that
it. may bring forth more fruit.
Finally Ho says, “Herein is My
Father glorified that ye may bear
much fruit.” John 15:2 to 8.
Wo judge life by its fruits where
the.ro is life there will be the fruit.
If you profess to be a church mem
ber or Christian see then that you
bear fruit. If you are not a Christ
an then behold how beautiful your
life can be if you bear the fruits
of the Spirit which are “love, joy
peace, long suffering; gentleness;
goodness; faith, meekness and ten
perance.” Gal. 6: 22 and 23.

Civic Group Asks Jobs
Cleveland, O., Nov. 26 (By Clar
ence L. Simmons for ANP)—A
fight bo the finish is being fought
here by the Future Outlook League
a 2 year old civic group headed by
John O. Holly against the Telling
Bell Ice Cream and Milk company,
' in its effort bo obtain job3.
Never before has the citizens of
Cleveland been so aroused and en.
sensed as they are over the flat re
fusal of the officials of the largest
milk firm to employ race help.
Since the opening of the Federal
housing project, the league has
tiled again and again to replace
the truck drivers in the Negro
sections with drivers of their own
without one spark of success..
More than 450 persons filled the
class room of the St. Paul A. M.
E. Zion church here Tuesday n'ght
in a mammouth mass meeting to
voice their protest against the ac
tions taken by the firm and signed
cards to the effect that beginning
fhat momement they would not
e the product of the company.
The h ague's slogan was being
carrie'! out to perfect "on, ‘'Don’t
Spend Your Money Where You
Can’t Work” is the battle cry of
the organization.
, Counjilman Lawrence 0. Payne
and Mrs. Hazel Mountain Walker
were two of the outstading speak
ers on the program. The oinly wo
man lawyer of the city stressed the
noint that the league was doing
more to hold u,p the, moral of the
youth than any other organization
n the city.
Mr. Payne, who based h;s dis
course from a religious point of
vie'- g stated that it was a mys’ery
to him how these business men
were all Christians who are bu'It
ers of mankind and yet refuses to
' i. citizens live.
It was Editor William Walker
who gave figures showing that 80
ncr cent of the Negroes were users
of the Te.Iling-Belle Vernon pro
ducts and the Negro only made up
*0 per eent of the population. He
urged the race to wake up and not
wait on time, but rather accelerate
time.
The main trend of the meeting
was seeking employment for race
youths. In the two years of its ex
r.tenoe the league has been instru
mental in securing more than 800
iobs for Cleveland’s youths. Most
cf the large chain store have hired
Negro girls and boys. Some of
these have bedn mad' ass'sant
managers as well as managers.
The league contends that each
‘ruck handling milk or ice cream
°r both in the Negro sections
should be driven by Negroes. FK
wand is al-m made that rare in'm
uers should be employed in hand
ling of machinery and office work.
It has been hinted that as soon
t the fight with the milk company
kns been completed the league
rlans to seek employment at the
East Ohio Gas Co. And the fight
■' on.
