By DEAN GORDON~~B. HANCOCK.
THE HELP IN AGES PAST

~When John Brown put his head into a hangman~~s noose a.
Harpers Ferry, he was doing more than making a bold stroke
for the Negro emancipation.
cause.

Pe

He was dramatizing a great
So many things had been said in behalf of freedom;
and the case thereof had been convincingly put in press end
pulpit of the Abolitionist North. The time had come for someone to die gloriously in the great cause, to the end that the
principle of human freedom would be dramatized. Old John
Brown came forth, not to free the Negro, but to dramatize the
cause of the Negro~s freedom.

It was even so when Jesus Christ gave himself to be slain
on the wretched heights of Calvary. He was not emancipating
and delivering the world at one fell stroke; He was not even
saving men from their sins; but he was dramatizing the principle of human salvation. There were certain conditions that
had to be dramatized ere the world could see its wretched
plight and flee the wrath to come.

The. plight of the Negro today needs dramatization and
needs. it sorely. The foot of the world is upon the Negro~s
heck. Every civilized nation or people looks condescendingly
upon the Negro. Whether even Russia is a notable exception
remains largely to be seen. Certainly the dominant Ang!oSaxon world looks scornfully down upon the world of darker
peoples, the- Negroes. especially.

The recent outbreak of mob violence in the South is but
a reflection of what the Anglo-Saxon feels toward the Negro.
The Negro may dismiss the fact, but it remains true that the
white world regards being black as the greatest handicap to
which mortals are heir. ~This world has decreed it so.

When the Negro-hating South is abetted by the conniving
North, the outlook for the Negroes in this country is far from
roseate. If this is ~Gloomy Deaning~~most will have to be
made of it. Refusal to face ugly facts in no way reduces the
importance of these facts.

One of the greatest needs of the hour so far as the Negro is
concerned, is to have his cause dramatized. Nothing could be
so effective for the purpose as a Day of Prayer by the Negroes
of the nation, asking God for deliverance. Let the race implore
the God of our Fathers to move in one of His ~ ~~mysterious
ways a wonder to perform. If President Jemison of the National ~Baptist Convention and the chairmen of the bishops
council of the various branches of Negro methodism, would
cooperate in proclaiming a Day of Prayer on which at a certain hour millions of Negroes would repair to their places of
worship and pray to the God of our fathers to deliver us from
the bondage of human prejudice the world would wonder!

There is nothing that would be more dramatic and more
Christian than a day of prayer and fasting by Negroes in their
yearning for a decent place among the races of mankind Jn

America, in Africa in the isles of the sea, Negroes are being~ |

forced to eat the crumbs that fall from the table of the regnani
powers everywhere. What is more, for the present at. least
these powers are~conspiring to perpetuate our moral bondage
A prayer for deliverance is in order.

The Negro~s slavery of the 20th century is just as bad o1
worse than that of the 19th. Whereas the latter tried to keep
a veil over our eyes so that we could not behold the bigger
world, the former ifts the veil by education and religion and
political platitude and exposes to our view the Promised Land
of-full human brotherhood and then denies to us admittance
thereto! The angles of prejudice with flaming swords stand
ever alert to stay us from the gate@ of earthly paradise.

Perhaps if 13.000,000 Negrées could assemble at one
hour on a given day in a given month they cou!d trouble God
on His throne and ~the anti-Negro white man in his power and
ruthlessness. God-was the only resort of our enslaved fathers;
~God was the only resort of Israe] in bondage. God _ has
been the ~refuge and help of the distressed in all the ages past.. Of course there are some Negroes who know tco much
and have too much, and are too big in general to acknowledge
God's help by prayer. The extent to which Negroes are ~~too
big~ to pray to God. is the extent to which the race is exposed
to extermination in this country! God was not only our help in
ages past, He is still our hope for years to come!

NTENCE SERMONS

By REV. F RANK CLARENCE LOWRY
(For ANP )

SEI
Men who walk with God, see clearer and more, when days

are darkest and there is no open door.

M
~

w

i

It takes a good man to stick with God, and His cause defend, when there are.so many professors upon whom God cannot depend.

~Real men follow God when they can~t see their way, for

they know that God made both the night and the day.

Only faithless men live in a world all material, but they
too will begin to know and see God when they become spiritual. e
It is to sad when men spend a lifetime trying to eke out an
existence and fail to provide for future need, any spiritual resistance.

People who are just livng just because they are e here, can
hardly expect anything more than constant worry an id fear.

In dealing with such people who live in sub-basements,
one must possess celestial fire, if their poor souls they would
inspire.

People then, who follow after Christ, and not their own
noise and toys, have to be. willing to pay any ~price for power
and poise.

Such strength is pounded out on the anvil of severest
test, but its moral fortitude and courage will register highest
among all the rest.

These are the persons who thank God for living, and do
all they can to keep other folks from sinning.

They are not the kind to whine and pine and look for excuses, but know well how to face all kinds of abuses.

To this class of persons who find more time to do rig ht
than wrong, Paul did not have to direct this powerful admonition~: ~Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be

is a defiicisncy of nicotinic acid

VITAMIN DEFICIENCY

Continuing from last week,
the important part of the mouth
or tomgue plays in telling about
the vitamin deficiency of the
body. Due to the fact that there
is no definite laboratory test,
that tells the exdct vitamin or
the deficiency lacking, the tongue and mouth is one of the
ways a physiaicn can determin?
the condition of the patient.

We discussed the appearance
of the tongue in the deéefiiciency
of vitamins A and B in last
week~s paper. Vitamins are unknown substances existing in
foods that are mecessary to normal nutrition and growth, the
abs2nce of these qualities in the
diet produces defiicierfcy diseases.
