Plain Talk
By ELINOR WHITE
'the laws He laid down which
you must not violate—the laws
of Nature, the laws of the spirit.
God has laid down two codes
that man cannot afford to dis
obey: the code of Nature and
the code of the spirit. The code
of Nature; when you violate it
makes you angry, makes you
unhappy, makes you miserable,
makes you sick, makes you die
prematurely. All of the disease
there is in the world, all of the
sickness there is in the world
is a direct violation of the code
of Nature. These people who
run from Monday morning to
Saturday evening to the doctor’s
office instead of going there to
pay him three dollars or more
should be saving that much by
Recreation—
its Role Today
By Lobengula Mosley
As we dig deep into the soci
ological structure of the Negro
and examine a few of the roots
which are forever boring and
sprouting in their hearts and
minds, we inevitably find them
choking and blinding them to
the realities of life.
In bringing to your attention
these social processes, having
to do with social levels and
their effect on recreation and
recreation’s contribution in help
ing to solve such problems, we
attempt to find or define the
place of recreation in the life
of the Negro people, who are
entwined in the maze of social
pressure.
Out of these natural or creat
ed social processes, causing our
present day social problems we
find in each strata an innate
desire to play. This play desire
becomes the foundation of all
recreation programs, and recrea.
tion planning. \
If recreation through its im
pact upon human shortcomings
can be directed into channels of
community improvement, and
away from individual domina
tion, the recreation profession
will be greatly improved and
will have definitely contributed

WHAT GOD MEANS TO US<
Must Have a Good Report
GET you, as the white man
has done, a scientific under
standing of God and religion.
God has done all for you al
ready that He will ever do for
you on this earth. He made you,
and after He made you, He was
through with you to the point
where He expects a report of
you at the end of your journey.
Between your creation and your
natural death God has nothing
to do with your physical and
material operations. You under
stand that? Take that down in
MRS. ELINOR NEELY
the notebook of your mind.
When God Almighty created
you He made you a living soul
in the reign of His established
law. He was through with you
and will remain through with
you until the final day of all
things to receive your report
as a good steward. The parable
of Jesus Christ is typical of
what God expects of every man.
He is responsible until He
givss in what has been given.
God is not going to be respon
sible for you after He created
you until He meets you again;
and your duty is that during
the absence of God to roll up
such a report that when He
comes, like the good master.
He will be pleased with your
conduct.
Negroes Must Understand
God and Religion.
What marks the great deal of
difference between the Negro
and the White man is that the
Negro does not understand God
and his religion. God placed you
here in the world on your own
responsibility as men and wo
men to take out of the world
and to make out of the world
what you want in keeping with I
