Goodlow) In the human family How can there be A superior race of men Or an inferior—when From one blood God created all men. And commanded them to love one another as a brother. But sinful man in order to please himself — Put part of God’s word on the shelf, And only believed what he wanted to receive. Because man failed to keep the laws of God and Christ The world is in a sorry plight. Nations have sealed their fate — Through prejudice and hate And willfully destroyed, All they once enjoyed. For man’s evil deeds of lust and greed Has turned the world into a battlefield. With death and destruction on every side, Because God’s law was cast aside Lasting peace shall never be until all men are free. So in the crucial hour to come We pray O God, Thy will be done, For the cries of war shall not be stilled, Till Thy sacred word has been fulfilled. For Thy word O God still stands, And the fate of nations in Thy hands. PRINCESSES The meeting was held at the home of Archie Mae Young 2624 Binney. We made plans for the months of February and March.

TO INDUCT 175,000 NEGROES INTO ARMY During the current year War Department and Selective Service plans contemplate the induction of approximately 175,000 Negroes.

Due to the present exist ing shortage in housing facilities, it is probable that this increase wil lbe distributed rather lightly in the early months of the year, but will increase materially dur ing the late spring, when construc tion projects will have been com pleted.
