He stated that the basic principles of the movement are the investigation of all truth with a scientific mind; and the emancipation of all the rates of mankind regardless of their orjgin. He extolled the virtues of the prophet of ffie movement?Baha'u'llarf, and requested that his life and principles be studied. Mr. Marangella was accompanied t.v Mr, Phmin^.. cey Northern, young Negro, graduate of Hampton and the WalterTfamrosch school < f music who sang two selections, one of which was sung- in German.

HANCOCK I "THE GLOOMY BAUD" Langston Hughes' appearance at Virginia Un ion University was a literary benediction! Hi; pleasing personality coupled with his poetic gift: t imuiru ill ii? tu ci t'ca utwtt>iuii. ?* ill etuisummae skill and defness he read out of his hear some of his finer works. The vast auiliiyn^y sai thrilled and enraptured throughout the evening. Ii traveling over this country Langston Hughes see; and hears and thinks a. lot of things. He ha-- seer the Negro's unhappy economic lot in ways thai have made profourjj^ impression upon him. For tunately for the cause of Negro betterment Lang stort Hughes is giving to the Negroes along will his inimitable poetry some of his experiences whicl are not so thrilling to an audience but nevertheless it leaves the audience thinking, with perhaps th< exception of those mha_jyjJJL^not think.t At Virginia Union Mr., Hughes punctuated his poetry wit I digressions concernng the Negroes econome pligh that made that audience sit up- and take notice.

Any policy' of evasion is fraught with diie dangers and the price the race will pay for attempts to minimize the .nature of the light the ! Negro is being forced to make is going to be ex- ' j iiorbitant to say the least. Nobody to date has con- , i ti overted* any of the "Gloomy Dean's" fundamental I prupos.tions none of which is without factual fyunj daticn." The only fault to be found and the Dean's | unpardonable sin has .been tftiifhis predictions were "gloomy."f.For.tnate.ly the scientific apiproach^to socI ial and economic problems precludes attempts to I t.tr amusing Or oooular. Facts are facts and what ! ever uiey are gloomy or gleetul is a matter for'those" u ho feel father than for those who think. Feeling problems is not that place. Unfortunately we have a few Negroes in this country who seem to Negro can just "laugh' and "think liberty" and think that, this thing can be "laughed off"; that the "think' prosperity and be economically saved. One of the greatest mistakes that Mr. Hoover made was his pary's attempt to fool this country into "thinking:prosperitywhen they had finished try' was 011 the verge of ruin! Now after a l'udejtv-akinng they are trying to face the issues. i-jienf m. . men nor men of common sense ever, attempt to solve problems by ignoring them. What if the facts, are ugly?

"Pace Makers;"?The Intermediate-ami---Sen-.--,,. *bior-Teacher, published by tho Amerw. canBaptist Publication Society of Phil:i.liO[il?i:> Pit., for the ,'lrd Quarter. page 182. "An educated man gets his thinks from some one else, but an intelligent man works his own thinks, so a Polish girl* defined the difference?'The man who works his own thinks is the Pace-Maker for the world." Wo have no hesitancy in' saying that Dr. Hancock is an educated man, being a college- graduate-of Benedict College, and with post-graduate work from Colgate 4Jniversitv of Hamilton, X. Y., ami Harvard Uni _ versity of Cambridge, Mass. Of his intelligence- (?) ? ; For a new ago, new truths are* demanded. Tennyson in Locksley Hall, writes? "Yet I doubt not through the ages one unceasing purpose runs, Ana the thoughts of men are widened ?with the processthe^uns." " ' ,? May we'ask this favor at the hands of Dr. Hancock, that in his future weekly and weakly, dissertations, he give to us his "own thinks". Dr.. ___ Hancock says?-"Scientists have no satisfactory explanation of thoww- gla ciations. Without ^drfiibt thc glacial age was a "dark age -for primitive life. Aftel* this critical period was past, man rose to fill this earth with soul splendor and dream stuff." Yes. ~TTr. Hancock,~your~"After Which" is Dream Stuff", simply that and nothing-more. Hear what God. saith to Job 28:2-7. "Who darkens my' do- . sign with ~a cloud Of thoughtless "Wuidv??| like a man; and answer , these my questions. When 1 t'linoili-.l the earth, where were" you llion? Answer me that, if you will oarth? do you know that? Who stretched the builders, line? What were its pedestals placed on? Who laid the corner-stone, when the morning stars were singing, and all the angels chanted in their joy?" JSciem tists may rest assure!, that no tryp deduction drawn from their "Dream-~ . -rtuff". can ever- contradict or condiet with any true interpretation <?. the Divine. Revelation. Dr. James . Moffat says?"This is the true story *t>f how the universe- wa,s formed.

In the light of the above, we would a.dvise Dr. Hancock, that he. prolit from the experience of Job and _ confess?-"I thoughtlessly confused the- issues; I spoke without intelligence of wonders far beyond my ken. Dr. ijp. _Lhirks Cadman is called upon daily to answer questions galore "OlH5?age is prone -to forget, that presume that if His exorcise of those pr.esunrp that if His 'exercise "of those igh'ts does noU^quare with our ideas, He is a negllble factor'In lil'es ih<vnrei nt i,m (".-r^ j.in) y Cod has the .sight to chose His own methods of self .: revelation and to unfold that revelation nsjle pleases".
