CHURCH ATHLETIC
ASSOCIATION
Thursday, February 13, the 4th
Baptist team went down to defeat
at the hands of Border by the score
of 31-28. At the end of the first
half very little scoring had been
done and found Border leading 8-4.
The home boys soon found them
selves and began to sink shots from
all over the court, to pile up their
commanding lead.
Revenge was sweet for the Bor
der team on Monday evening, as
they took the measure of the Fre
mont Congregational outfit, 43-32
to hold their undisputed league
leadership. The score at the half
was 20-14, and all indications
pointed to a repetition of the Bor
der boys* defeat of two weeks ago.
John Thomas, however, provided
the necessary spark to the team
and by scoring ten points inspired
Captain Lott and Strawder to play
their best and to pile up a comfort
able margin to maintain their lead.
Only two games remain on the
schedule. One for next Thursday,
February 27, and the other on Mon
day, March 2, with the city tourna
ment following immediately.
“BORDER BRIEFS”
On Sunday, February 16, the
congregation listened to a very in
spiring message from Rev. Jason
Clayburn, who so graciously filled
our pulpit in the absence of Rev.
D. P. Young, who was a delegate
to the National Negro Congress in
Chicago. We are indeed grateful
to Rev. Clayburn for the truly
Christian spirit he displayed, and
the message he brought.
Next Sunday morning Rev.
Young will take his rightful place
in the pulpit and deliver the ser
mon, using the theme: “A Citi
zen of No Mean City.** The vested
choir will render special music, and
the entire service will be in har
mony with the day, which is Good
Government Sunday.
The Ladies* Aid Society has post
poned their pew rally to March 8,
when Rev. H. W. Botts and choir
will present the program at three
o'clock. In spite of the intense
cold, the temperature in the sanc
tuary is never below 70 degrees.
SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS GIVES
UNIQUE PARTY FOR DE
PARTING TEACHER
The young ladies’ class of the
St James A. M. E. Church School
gave a farewell party for their
teacher, Miss Evelyn Miller, who
begins her college studies this
semester.
The young ladies gathered
Thursday evening, at the home of
Albreta Neal for “Business
On Miss Miller’s ar-
rival, under the supervision of
Mrs. S. P. Shokunbi, the girls
launched into a most unique two
hours of entertainment.
They first sang the Farewell
Song, pitched to the tune of The
Music Goes Down and Round, after
which they engaged in a game of
Hearts and Jingles. Miss Edith
Coleman won the prize for the best
Heart and Jingle, which was a
heart full of candy. The girls then
improvised a Radio Station and
conducted a Major Bowes’ Ama
teur Program. Major Bowes would
have envied the variety of acts and
talents displayed on this program.
The largest number of votes were
given to Miss Vera Harper, as
“Verona Harpero,” a singer from
South America. The Honor votes
were given to Miss Miller as
“Aphrodite,” an impersonator from
Chicago.
The girls were served with a Val
entine repast at a table decorated
with hearts, where they were given
some encouraging remarks by Mrs.
I. E. Johnson, also a very active
teacher of the St James A. M. E.
Church School. Mrs. Eva Neal then
presented Miss Miller with a purse
from the superintendent of the
school and friends, and Miss Neal
presented her with a five-year
diary, a gift from the class.
Each young lady received a Val
entine, autographed by Miss Miller.

Lesson for February 23
PEOPLE BEFORE PROPERTY
LESSON TEXT—Luks S:l«-17.
GOLDEN TEXT—No servant can
serve two masters: for either hel
will hate the one, and love the other;
or else ho will hold to one, and
despise the other. To cannot serve
God and mammon.—Luke 1C:13.
PRIMARY TOPlC—Jesus With His
Friends in a Storm.
JUNIOR TOPIC—■Jesus With His
Friends in a Storm.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR
TOPIC —Sympathy or Selfishness? t
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT
TOPlC—Human Welfare Before Fi
nancial Profit.
After his teaching by the para
ble of the soil and the lighted can
dle, Jesus exhibited his credentials,
enforcing his teaching by demon
strations of his mighty power.
1. Jesus Calming the Storm (w.
22-25).
In this miracle he demonstrated
his power over nature.
L Jesus asleep (v. 23). While
the disciples were sailing the ship
the Master fell asleep.
2. The frightened disciples (w.
23, 24). The storm seems to have
been an unusual one. These sturdy
men were used to storms, but as
their ship iwas being filled with
water they! awoke Jesus with the
cry of fear.
3. Jesus rebuked the wind and
water (v. 24). At his word there
was a great calm. We can with
confidence put our trust In Jesus
Christ for, as he calmed the tem
pestuous sea, so he can calm the
raging storms which threaten our
destruction.
4. Jesus rebuked the disciples (▼.'
25). After rebuking the raging ele
ments, he turned to the disciples.
He did not rebuke them for wak-'
Ing him, but for their lack of faith.
11. Jesus Casting Out Demons
(w. 26-39).
In this mighty act Jesus’ power
over demons was demonstrated.
Demon possession was in that day, 1
and it is today, an awful reality.
The characteristics are often simi
lar to cases of Insanity, and many
are called Insane, who are really
demon-possessed.
1. Jesus met by the demoniac
(w. 26-29). This poor man’s suf
fering was dreadful. He abode Ini
the tombs without clothing. At the
sight of Jesus he made an outcry
and fell down before him and be
sought him not to torment him.
There is no doubt in the mind of
demons as to the reality of a place
of torment. Sin Imposes upon Its
victims anguish and shame.
2. Jesus* question (v. 80). He
asked him. “What Is thy namoT’
. .
His purpose was to bring the real
man to consciousness, to enable
him to distinguish between himself
and the demon who held him. The
answer shows that the man thought
his case was hopeless. He said,
“Legion, * which meant that many
demons had entered Into him and.
therefore, he was powerless to free
himself.
8. The demons’ request (w. 81,
82). They asked permission to en
ter Into a herd of swine. It seems
that demons have a dislike for dis
embodiment In the presence of
Jesus the demons tremble and beg
permission to act
4. Their request granted (w. 82,
33). Just why this was done we
do not know. Since Jesus did it
we must believe that it was right
and wise.
5. The effect upon the people
(w. 34-37). J
a. The keepers of the swine
went and made it known in the
city and country. That a super-'
natural event had taken place was'
not questioned by the keepers.
b. The people made investigation.
They saw the man sitting at the
feet of Jesus, clothed and in his 1
right mind, and heard the testi
mony of those who had seen what
was done.
c. The multitude besought Jesus
to depart from them. How sad it
is that in the face of the mighty
works of Jesus men will not open
their hearts to him.
6. The request of the healed man
(w. 88, 89). He desired to be
with Jesus. This was natural and
right, but his responsibility was to
go home and show to the people
there what great things God had
done for him. This Is ever the re
sponsibility of saved people—to go
back to the very neighborhoods
where they lived and make known
the saving power of Jesus Christ
111. Jesus' Power Over Disease
(w. 43-48).
Jesus heals a woman with an Is
sue of blood. Observe:
1. Her helpless condition (v. 43).
She had been a great sufferer for
twelve long years (Mark 5:26).
2. Her faith (v. 44). Her faith
was demonstrated by pressing her
way through the thronging multi
tude.
3. Her confession (v. 47). She
thought furtively to get the bless
ing, but Jesus perceived that vir
tue had gone out from - him, and
had her make a public confession.
4. Christ’s words of encourage
ment (v. 48). He told her that It
was her faith, not her touch, that
saved her, and bade her go In
peace.
20,000 Fascists Killed
In Ethiopia
(Continued from Page 1)
ing anti-imperialist demonstrations
and outbreaks in Egypt and Syria.
Outbreaks in Syria and Zanzi
bar, following those in Egypt,
were deemed a warning that peace
must be effected as soon as possi
ble in Ethiopia. British imperial
ism, chief rival of the Italian im
perialists in East Africa, is said
to be now lukewarm to application
of oil sanctions for fear that a
further crippling of Italy would
result in smashing victories for
the Ethiopians * and a resultant
anti-imperialist upsurge through
out Africa and the Near East.
Moreover, British capitalists
who have much capital invested in
the Italian Fascist regime, fear
that a continuation of the war,
with its terrific suffering for the
Italian people, would result in the
revolutionary overthrow of Fas
cism in Italy.
New peace feelers were recent
ly put out by Pope Pius who, de
spite overwhelming anti-war senti
ments of Catholics throughout the
world, has set himself the role of
promoting Mussolini’s plundering
aspirations and salvaging shaky
Italian Fascism.
NAZIS TO REVISE BIBLE
Berlin, Feb. 17.—(CNA). —A
new revision of the German Bible,
originally translated by Martin
Luther, is being compiled to make
the Gospel conform with Nazi
ideology, Bishop Weideman told
the Evangelical Congress held at
Bremen on February 11.
Revision of the Gospel accord
ing to St. John is sorely needed,
the Bishop said. He intimated that
the revised Gospel would help
Nazi promotion of anti-Semitism
and the bunk of "Nordic” superior
ity over all other races.
