There is nothn ? ing that is happening in tkc^ _ 1 world today that aid not hav^ itt T-'?olrth In the mind of some -man. K .Herein lies the hope of the . Wotld. What man has made, mar ^ can master. What man had done, man can undo, Wpr, hatred and pgr? oppression are man made and l gft they gan be destroyed by man! Only the~~gdod~is divine und " eternals Now when we are in the midst of a long and devastating war, we must, more than ever If think right. Only those who have f'; disciplined their own minds can achieve the freedom that lies in loving recognition of the ^good in their fellow men and in a hatred 2 of all evil action or cruelty t, c h IF anyone?no matter of what race creed, claws or color. We are most lucid in our dark ?y. est moments-. ls>t us clearly face the fact that what has come upon us was of our creating. Liberty was weakened long before the diefc. tators began their deadly attack* upon the sanctity, of human kind Be?-It was our own wolfish thought By that sapped the strength of oui pf. democratic way of life. We must B ' wipe a selfish concept of persona national and international probKjlBnt from our minds if we arc IKT to retain the freedom which i? IF so vital to all of us. We must ac> knowledge as the right of other? pj the same freedoms we claim foi Hr ourselves. We will have to think courage to be brave; fidelity to serve loy WB ?Hy; sympathy, to be -kind; pa B; tlence, to persevere against odds ifc We will have to give up some ol our rights and take oh more <lu K-; ties to achieve the desired end oi Victorv over the forces of dark. iiess. We can attain peace anc prosperity based upon a souiu. iconomic basis, only if we thinK things through. , To do this we must think Victory with honor and justice foi ill.'

" // V * \ EADER- t BETWEEN FAIR WARNING! ?A few weeks r.'_"6 this Ml Tti'rTii an article entitled "Lean Tomorrows'.', dared warn war-prospyrous Negroes that this good time nas not come to stay; that they had better dig in while digg:ng is good. In a later article We warned that tlie Negro wlvr simply makes good is going to he east a side onte the w r is over: ard only "he Negro wlio "makes better" is going to stand th?. storms of- com petition that wTTl aweepilic- Tabo 1 leeks of this country. Of course these warnings were irompted by common sense to nec i)lp of common sense, ir^ an effort '.o stave off financial disaster tha< /s stalking even now in the ahad ows of a national emerg?ncy. Ne "roes are splurgirg now rn a big vay. Of course it is to be expectI d that?t^ose who h--ve been im noverished so long wfll enjoy, the elusive delights, of an evanescent prosperity; but it iQ not besidi the point to warn them that lear years are ahead. ? There are many well-ir.tentioned oeoplp who will take the warning and flee the economic wrath tc come. Others "wHl be lost and consigned to outer economic darkness where there is wailing and gr- shing; of teeth. Our press and our pulpit and schools could render no greater sovice than that oi keeping the Negro race warned of the impending financial trouble* ahead. Many of u. rcniembei what happened at tlie elose ol World War I and we rightly feai what may take pi ee at the eonclusion of World War II. Roger Babson. eminent statistician and economist of Babsor park. has souned a warning to'the ration that dire days are ahead oncgthc war -is over He \v-3vn? .hat ihei'L' will ha. a. "job panic' when the 20.000,000 war worker? must change jobs; and when 10.000.000 soldiers return we shah ia\'p something like -'10,000,000 pei <en? looking for jobs. It is not going to hurt Negroeg to remember now that the "Negro-last-to-bc -hired-and-fu'st-t o-be-fircd" attitude js not ""going to be totally outmoded during the current emei gejicy, however much We might wish rt so. Bubson sneaks in common sense terms and not after some economic hcorizings. A fool though way f:ring man ought to be abl^ t( -ee his point namely, that 10.000,. 000 persons will be seeking jobs ir the postwar period and woe unit .hat Negro who drinks and sports a way?the?hist "penny and stll greater. woes to those who earr^ in their present good jobs the mere "get by" attitude. Every Negri who now hnldH?a?job should remember that not only must be go! by but he must see to it that the way keep oncn: for thcr? is be~h?rd "film a long line of Negroes wJ)o must also get by. We have different kinds of d'J.Vs and weeks which we observe ir jiurch and school such as Negri ilistory week, NAACP week, Negro Press week and Negro Insurance week, etc.; we need througl' horn a "V*. ??u .. - - ^ ?... iivftiu-viIUVWll/UI"llUU' Week." Of course I have beer to school sonic and have read some books; but this warning it prompted, by common sense and not learning. Sometime I think that learning gets in the way o 1 th? statement of the case; to I am rppealing in the name of common sense that Xegroes be warned ol :he difficult days ahead. The story goes that three very learned men betook themselves- on a fishing spree to find surcease from tlu-ir complicated vogitationk with the concomitants' vexations >f mird. They took a boat and put out tor a day of untroubled fishing bliss. They sailed down a winding river into tho where they . > usual caught no fish but reveled in the jobs of noble oontemp'alion born of intellectual communion. The boat spring a leak and water was spurting through in far :no copious quantities. A bucket was near at hand and with it the water could easily have been bail d out. Instead of using thc bucket ilrey decided to bold a "consultation" o(i hat was best to do in the premise, for such learned men could never ininK ot tiie simple, exponent of bailing water out of ti caking boat. After much "deliberation it was decided that the situation could bp relieved by boring a hole I1:! the bottom of the boat so the water could run out They bored th(, hole and more water pushed in, to thcir great surprise. With the bo?t fust sinking they held .-rother consultation aI1'l finally-decided t0 bare two more holes beside the first sd that the vater could run out .faster than it would run in. They bored two additional holes, Some ditch-dippers ncar by had to rescue them. Let's use common sense! Lot'* save some of this easy war-time money! ST. PAI L HAITIST CHURCH Rev, A. II.
