' DID YOU HEAR The broadcast, Saturday, March 6, celebrating the 116 th anniversary of the Negro Press! |.r, , Well, If you didn't you missed something good. I didn't hear THE FUTURE it, word for word lor I was on the job but I did hear quite a lot of it. The Negro Press was traced bac) to its beginning, with Frederick Douglass and others as staunch believers that such an organization could reach perfection. It has traveled over a period of time, sometimes up, sometimes down, until now, we have 370 newspapers, journals and other literary compositions edited by Negroes. This is a record of which we can feel justly proud. Many noted Negro Press Agents appeared on the program, one of which we know Mr. P. 13. Young, Jr., of the Norfolk-Journal and Guide. INTERNATIONAL! SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON The Secret of Greatness Golden Text: Jesus saith unto liiin, I am the way, and tlio truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.?-John 14-0. True Greatness We do not usually think of Jesus as a violent social reformer. But some of the principles he enunciated are revolutionary in a startling degree. The usual standards of society he reversed. Those whom he catalogued as worthy of special commendation such as the good Samaritan, the widow whose two mites were placed in the treasury, the w'eman with the alabaster box, and the publican who stood afar off smiting upon his breast, were commonly vegraded by the code of his own day as social outcasts or, at least, social unfortunates. The seal of greatness has commonly been placed upon tl?<5 privileged few, who have achieved for themselves or their children wealth, rank, power, or some form of outward distinction. Jesus transferred the emphasis to usefulness and character. He insisted that the greatest were those who rendered the largest measure of helpful and I productive ministry. He created I a new aristocracy?the arlsto-1 1 orooir r\t VI MV/ VI OKsl IIVCi We are very slow in coming to ' this point o? view. Primitive selfishness is hard to overcome. Its survivals may be -observed in many ways. It survives in Our amusing notions of aristocracy. We insist on kotowing to those whose distinction is marked by some outward preeminence. It extends even to residents of certain favored sections of the communities in which we live. It survives in our systems of education. Much of our teaching fails to impress the child with the idea that being and giving are more to be desired than getting and gaining. The value of an education is conceived In terms of dollars and cents. If it helps the boy to make more money it is considered practical, but not otherwise. " We are all inclined to lobk up to those who make good rather than to those who are good. It survives, too, in our competitive spirit of Industry, which , is sometimes cruel and heartless .in its results; for the reign ol competition is the reign of fear, I It often brings out the worst 1 that is In men. It causes them OUTLOOK, GREENSBORO I ^ TUt TIN THOUSAND DQllWV SOIL AWARD, WHICH SHE WOK IK im.SHE ESTABLISHED THE "MARIAN vNDERSOH fUKD TO AID ASPIRING OUN& ARTISTS. ,L '#: * * ~ ts50 Of her iincolu w > MEMORIAL CONCERT, ?-~ 1 INTERIOR SECRETARY ^ T ICKES DECLARED- ?I, w FUTURE ^aFtraTri generations Hi fl u II u I WILL REGARD 8 fl H 1 fl EALTER SUNDAY, I ffl 1. al.,1 IVT9.

Finally, this primitive selfishness survives in governments whose political philosophy is based on the principle that knows no law, and that the end justifies the means, however unworthy they may be. Through all the confusion, change, and readjustment of the present age, it may be that we are moving, however falteringly, toward our Lord's aristocracy of service. Perhaps in the future greatness will not be measured by money or property. Indeed ,lt is doubtful if these things will ever mean as much in the future as they have in the past. Let us hope and pray that our children will be living in a world where people will be measured by tbe standards set forth by Jesus in this lesson. He says, "I am the way." Certainly his way is in striking contrast to the current ways in which we live. He judges everything by the spirit of service, Perhaps this will be the lessor learned in the hard school ol experience during these diffi cult years. We are talking mucl about democracy, and much tha we say is merely talk. There cat I be no true in am land until most of its peopli j have joined the aristocracy o | service. I suppose that these bcauti (ul and comforting words froc the fourteenth chapter of Johi were added to this lesson ii order to suggest the ultimat outcome of such a way of llf as Jesus proposes and such type of greatness as he approves It will issue in freedom fror fear and anxiety:, "Let not you heart be troubled." It will h marked by confidence and trust "Believe In God, believe' also 1 me." It will eventuate in an e: panded life, with room for ever lawful and wholesome intereB with liberty and justice for all i "In my Father's house are mar i mansions." It will be a plat prepared for us by One whos . understanding fellowship wl 1 adequately meet every hums l need. ^N. c. ifjc 0 S M o P o I/7 i>n r I V u f o LITERARY DEVOTE By William Malet Cai THE WEDDING OP SIMON LEGREE Long after the death of Uncle Tom, Topsy and the fragile flower 1 Eva, I There remains to embarras humanity, A wretch diseased with peonage fever, That cunning, greedy, selfish brute, The orginal Simon Legree's grandson, At best a.boastful lawless knave, t With dishonesty for all and love l for none.
