It’s strange, isn’t it, to think of God’s becoming man • To
thinl that He was born a helpless infant, ji*st as we are born
helplcse infantss; that He grew from childhood to manhood';
that He ate and drank, shivered and perspired; that at times
He got tired and sat down toi rest; that He died and was buri
ed, like any other son of man.
He did it, He told us, to be our; example in all things.
And that’s the key to His resurrection. If He was our exam
ple in life, then He was o*ir pathfinder in death, too. We
can’t believe that He set aside His humanity at the resurrec
tion. No, the to Ah was empty. He had his human body
with him.,The difference is that it was now glorified. Notice
how the apostles were tempted to believe that He was no long
er tt.«t> ; but Our Lord pointedly ate dinner with to show that
He was still human, because everyone knows that a ghoeft has
no stomach. Another time, He had St. Thomas push his fin
ger into the nail-holes and drop his hand into His slit side.
You can’t feel a ghost, and Thomas seemed to have been sab
isfied that it was his friend, Jesus Chris*, for he dropped to
his knees at once and cried out—-“My Lord and My God.
Then this is our ordinary destiny: to be born, to die, and
to rise again. That is the only conclusion we can logically
draw, especially in view of Our Lord’s many assertions dur
ing His lifetime—“I ain the resurrection and the life: he that
believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live: and everyone
that liveth and believeth in me, shall not die forever” (John,
11:25,26).
Our Lord might have switched—He might have changed
from roan to God; He might have left His body in the grave
anil flashed over the hills and lakes of Galilee like the light
ing appearance of God in the Old Testament—but no, He
takes with Him the body we know, the face kissed by Judas,
and the feet anointed by Magdalene. It is the same before
and after. So that if His previous life was like ours and a
pattern for ours, then this present life, this risen life, is a
/ token, a pattern, a demonstration of what we are destined to

To Sing In Concert Here
PAUL ROBESON—“If matters very little indeed what Paul
Robeson sings. His glorious voice, his noble use of it, and
the great soul shining in his face as he sings, are all that
count n the long score.”
_EDWARD W. WODSON, The
Evening Telegram, Toronto,
November 9, 1945.
Great Negro Baritone
At City Auditorium
Sunday April 13, 2:15 P. M.
Omaha music lovers, and follow
ers of the Great Negro Singer,
PAUL ROBESON, will be able to
be thrilled and entertained by him
when he appears here in Concert
at the City Auditorium on Sunday
afternoon, April 13, at 2:15 p. m.
PAUL ROBESON
Completing a bumper season last
year of 85 concerts in auditoriums
large and small from coast to
coast, including a generous propor
tion of college courses, Paul Robe
son was heard by the largest
crowds and received the greatest
critical acclaim of his entire car
eer.
"it is sometimes overiooKea,
says Russell McLauchlin, writing
in The Detroit News, "when one
surveys Robeson, the actor, and
Robeson, the advanced thinker,
and all the other Robesons that the
most valuable Robeson of them all
is the great thunder-throated bas
so who is certainly one of the mag
nificent singers of this age or any
other; whose tremendous vocal
gift, polished to a bright point of
eloquence, is a study and a re
proach to most members of the
singer’s craft, all around the
world.”
Another writer in the New Hav
en Journal-Courier, commenting
on the concert given by Robinson
at Yale University, states: “The
flavor of the evening was incom
parable, made up of music, charm
good humor, and the simplicity
that is always attendant upon the
great.”
This son of a Negro minister
was born in Princeton, N. J. and,
has gone far since the modest days
when he worked his way through
Rutgers College, gaining distinct
ion as a debater and winning his
letter in four maor sports. No ci
tation has ever pleased him more
than that by the late Walter Camp
who picked him as All-American
End, “the greatsst defensive end
that ever trodj the gridiron.”
From his Alma Mater he holds
the degree of Master of Arts, from
Columbia University a degree in
Law, from Hamilton College an
honorary degree as Master of Hu
mane Letters, from Howard Uni
versity, Doctor of Music. In 1945
he was awarded the Spingarn med
-al for outstanding achievement
by the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
His record-breaking tours two
years ago in the Theatre Guild
production of "Othello” proved a
gain that he is one of the great
I actors of his time.
This season Paul Robeson will a
I gain carry his message of song to
audiences throughout the country.
Infinitely appealing is the magnif
icent voice—its richness thrills the
ear, the sincerity of the man him
self wins the heart. His singing is
simplicity itself, but the reverence,
the compassion, the drama, the
humor with which he invests his
songs give them new life.
It is the voice of one man—but it
speaks for all humanity.
Tickets for this outstanding at
traction may be procurred at the
City Auditorium, open daily from
10 a m. to 5 p. m. or mail orders
accepted, and promptly filled if ac
companied by remittance and a
stamped return envelope. Send to
Max M. Clayton, Omaha Auditor
ium, Omaha 2, Nebraska. The
price of the tickets are $1.20, $1.80
$2.40, $3, and $3.60.

Will Democracy
Stand the Test?
ARTICLE BY
R. E. SIMMONS
In my article last week our at
tention was directed to Britain
and America concerning the decay
of these national powers. We al
so learned that these are the times
when the gentiles are nearing
their end.
Will Democracy Stand the Test ?
This is the question which we will
consider going a little further
than we did last week.
In this land of plenty, in this
country of freedom of speech, free
dom of the press, freedom of relig
ion and freedom of one's self, how
wonderful are these most glorious
privileges. These rights we can ex
ercise without question in our land
of Democracy.
In America we have some of the
best schools of the world. Our
children flock within these dedi
cated buildings with lightness of
spirit and joy of satisfaction.
These children are molded to take
their places among their fellow
citizens in this great land of De
mocracy.
. What would it mean to America
if our system of education fell
within the hands of dictatorship?
What would we do if our churches
were controlled by the furious
spirit of those who seek to op
press the subjects of this land.
Those devasted lands of Europe,
those homes, those schools and the
occupants thereof, were all a
source of pleasure to many. But
since their liberty was taken by
greedy dictators during the war
they could live today in poverty,
fear and sorrow
This nation which has been rais
ed up by God during the last days
for the salvation of many from one
end of the earth to the other, has
j been singled out, and set apart by
I those who would destroy the good
influence of America, at home as
wel as abroad. This government
of Democracy has opened her
hand to help the unfortunate of
the earth, and help she should for
her vast resources will get lost if
time should permit for generations
to come.
It is true that in Democratic na
tions all races are not lawfully
treated—some are not even priv
ileged to vote, and play their part
as citizens of their government.
This is indeed most unfortunate
and the experience of those who
undergo such mistreatment is
very bitter. But we should remem
ber that he who holds nations in
the palm of his hand is watching
those who deal unjustly toward
their fellow being and will surely
visit them with speedy judgment.
The citizens of America are of
course interested in the progress
of their own nation, more than
any other, and we al should be a
ware of undesirable elements,
which are at work to overthrow
that which we cherish so dearly,
even though all are not treated as
citizens. We can at 'least enjoy
all over the land, many rights of
freedom, which those who are un
der dictatorship fail to have.
in almost every labor crisis in
America among large industrial
concerns, we should remember that
it is a test as to the strength of
Democracy. If those who stir up
confusion, and dissatisfaction a
mong the working class, can suc
ceed and accomplish their aim, we
can very well see that democracy
will have failed as a dominant fac
tor in this great country.
With the strikes which have
spread from one end of the nation
to the other during recent years,
we should be moved as never be
fore as to the seriousness of such
distress which has come to stay
with the people of America.
If those forces who are at work
can stir up the mass of America’s
citizens to become dissatisfied with
those who seek to guide the na
tion by offering them something
better amid anger, strife and con
fusion in avenues where those who
seek their daily break, as well as
daily bread. They will have ac
complished a great task.
Let none be deceived, we must
remember tfiat this war which has
just past, has made way for Rus
sia the mighty bear, who seeks to
strike a terrifying blow which will
cripple every government which
rises against his strides. We can
see him today pushing his way in
Europe. He has come face to face
with the Lion of Britain and with
the people of America he mingles
watching and waiting for the ripe
hour to strike his deadly blow
which will shatter democracy to
its very foundations in this part of
the world.
