"Watchman, Tell us of the Night**
^1 doubt seriously as to whether
there has ever been more unrest
jt{ j in the world's history than there
is today. What the nations o 1
earth exeperience next, only God
can tell. Apparently governments
are corrupt from A to Z, and
there seems to be none wise e-1
nou^h to lead out of this confused ,
iponey are flowing in the United,
States for housing projects and
still any number of poor- deserving1
people have no place to live. With'
the millions of dollars Ithat are I
being spent for employment, thou'
sands are. still walking the streets!
begging for work. Who has a word
nf imennrnirnmont.? Tfcado o 1 ,
great republics seem to be standing
with the proverbial chip on
their shoulders challenging each
other to knock it off so as^to be,
given si baptism of war fire and!
destructive gas from which the
aggressors will Be. miles away.;
Those who lire responsible tor!
wars never see the slaughtered!
dead or hear the blast of machine
guns. This is a dreadful age In]
which to live. Latest horrifying ex'
perience of this corruptable- age is
the killing syndicate which has
been exposed in the north and
east. The story is that there is a
secret organized company set?up
with headquarters in?metropolitan cities
whose function rs to contact
disgruntled wives and have them
kill their husbands by feeding
them with poison so as to collect
their insurances. The same is true
as to dissatisfied husbands. To my
mind .this rs almost an unpardona
ble.__.sin. I wilb adm+t'Thrrt many a
husband and wife are absolutely
good for nothing and it would,
seem that a.few rat biscuits would
be the ri^ht meals for them. But
God says, vengeance ts mine and
I will repay. No husband or wife
is justified hi taking the lives of?
each other through such an unGodly
scheme.
No Peace Without The Prince
The strangest thing in all the
wen Id is to see oxnltod rulers assembling
in conferences and around
tables discussing terms for
peace without mentioning the
name of Jesus who is the Prince
of peace. Why national heads do
not use the name of God and out
Savicn- more in their peace?invitations
and proclamations is a puzzle
to me. Are they ashamed or afraid
to call His nameT'There is
one thing cchtain and that is peace
_ ^wil' never come through political
strategy. It will only come by natrons
and individuals coming t o
Christ, Peace must come inttrthe
world through the church which
is its chief agency. In fact the
true condition of the Christian
church registers in the world. Too!
often We are snHlv mist-niton when I
, we think anil speak of peace, i n
: 0 the church. It's just on the surface,
when hidden beneath is the!
worse form of confusion only waiti
ing an opportunity to break out.
After all a mere side stepping of
duty and a compromise of principle
to secure peace don't worth
the breath to express it, nor the
paper on which it is written. To
say there is peace when there has
been no let up in a secret warfare
is to sound a false alarm. In any
number of instances both in sac
red and secular histories, peace
came as the result -of?wan Na "
tions^ and persons had to plunge
into war to obtain peace. And on
the other hand those who were
too timid or afraid to fight were
themselves beaten to death in the
end. ?;
South Carolina
Now so far as the A. M. E.
Church is concerned in this state
I am not at all uneasy, and will
never be as long as God lives. All
of its problems will be worked:
out in due time. Churches of all
denominations have their contrary!
winds as well as their smooth sail
ing. I confess to the credit of
many of them, they keep theii
soiled clotlies in bags where they
belong, while to0 many of us are
inclined to hang ours on front
? porches.?Lot us set our house in
