FOR JULIUS ROSENWALD
Philadelphia, Pa.—(CNS)—Memo-
rial services for the late Julius Ros-
enwald, prominent Jewish philan-
thropist, were held here last week at
the First African Baptist Church. Al-
bon L Holsey of New York, who was
the principal speaker, landed the
work of Rosenwald. He described
the Rosenwald benefations to Negro
schools aa “a part of God’s plan of
racial guidance."
convention in the same auditorium
and at the same time as the Church
faction. Mr. Church remained dis-
creetly in the background in the
midst of the confusion, while his as-
sociate, Joseph Marks, presiding over
the convention, carried on the busi-
ness of the meeting.
Of the 500 Republicans present,
more than two-thirds were colored.
Both groups chose delegates to the
state convention in Nashville and both
praised the leadership of Congress-
man Will Taylor, Republican nation-
al committeeman from Tennessee, and
President Hoover.
The group headed by Bruce, while
disclaiming that they were lily-
whites, passed a resolution calling for
the elimination of Mr. Church from
Tennessee politics. The resolution
directed against Mr. Church, reads as
follows:
“We endorse Hon. J. Will Taylor as
national executive committeeman for
Tennessee and commend the high
qualities of leadership which he has
displayed in directing the party in
this state, but we earnestly regret
that he has been compelled, by party
leaders from other states, to inflict
upon Republicanism in Tennessee and
especially in Shelby County by the
continued recognition of R. R. Church.
tion.
According to the survey there were
32 private schools or academies of
secondary rank for Negro students
which in the year 1929-30 enrolled
more than 100 students each. The
largest number of such private insti-
tutions was in North Carolina where
there were ten. South Carolina came
second on the list with six, and Geor-
gia and Virginia had four each. Oth-
er states represented were Alabama,
with three; Florida and Mississippi,
with two each; and Kansas with one.
There were 11 state normal schools
for Negroes in 1929 according to the
survey. There were two each in Ala-
bama and North Carolina. Other
states having one each were: Georgia,
Kentucky, Maryland, Pennsylvania,
Mississippi, and West Virginia.
“We do hereby pledge ourselves to
render the greatest service to the
Hon. J. Will Taylor and to the Repub-
lican party by the elemination of this
individual whose continued recogni-
tion stifles the growth of the party
and enslaves his race. We urge that -
he be supplanted in the councils of
the party by a group of colored men • 1
who are in truth representatives of
their race and totally alienated from
his sinister influence.”
In addition to these state normal
schools were in Alabama and Tennes-
see, private teacher training schools.
Eight teachers colleges for Negroes
were listed in the survey in addition
to the schools already mentioned.
They were: Lincoln University, Jef-
ferson City, Missouri; Winston-Salem
Teachers College, Winston-Salem,
North Carolina; Colored Agricultural
and Normal University, Langston,
Oklahoma; Colored Normal, Indus-
trial, Agricultural and Mechanical
College, Orangeburg, South Carolina;
Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial

trial College, Prairie View, Texas;

Washington, D. C.—(CNS)—Lewis
D. Williams, colored bus driver, was
a hero last week, when he risked be-
ing frozen to death in a successful
effort to rescue ten white high school
youths, who were stranded in a snow-
storm 12 miles from Lexington, Va.
The youths, members of the basket-
ball team of Eastern High School,
were returning here from Lexington
when their bus was stranded in the
snow. Unable to move his heavy bus,
Williams set out on foot for help,
and trudged 12 miles in zero weath-
er to Lexington. There he got a taxi
driver with a lighter car to take him
back to the stranded party. His
trouble was not over, however, as
the taxi was unable to get within a
mile of the bus. It was necessary
for the bus driver to tramp back
through a blinding gale another mile
to get the boys out of the bus and
lead them to the waiting taxi.
NEGRO FARMERS MEET IN GA.
Mayfield, Ga.—(CNS)—More than
100 colored farmers from Warren and

whom Jesus had cast seven demons |
(Mark 16:9; Luke 8:2), announced the
fact of the empty tomb to Peter and
John. Prompted by great love to him
for his kindness to her, she went early
to the tomb even "when It was yet
dark."
2. Personal investigation by Peter
and John (vv. 3-10). The news of the
empty tomb which Mary brought with
breathless haste so moved John and
Peter that they both ran to investigate.
When John came to the empty tomb,
he gazed into It, but when Peter came
he entered it. This investigation con-
vinced them of the reality of the resur-
rection. The removal of the stone
from the sepulchre, the arrangement of
the grave clothes, convinced them that
the enemy could not have done this.
II. The Manifestations of the Risen
Lord (vv. 11-29).
1. To Mary Magdalene (vv. 11-18).
a. Mary weeping at the empty tomb
(v. 11). Peter and John went home,
but Mary could not. She stood weep-
ing. Home was nothing to her while
her Lord was missing. Earnest love
need not to weep long for Jesus Is
found of those who love him. She
should have been rejoicing that the
grave was empty, for the empty tomb
was eloquent proof of his messlahship
and deity.
b. Mary questioned by the angels
(vv. 12, 13). Through her tears, she
saw angels at the tomb, who inquired
as to the cause of her sorrow.
C. Jesus revealed himself to Mary
(vv. 14-16). She first saw the angels
and then her eyes lighted upon the
Lord. She did not recognize him in
his resurrection body, but his voice
was familiar to her. As soon as he
called her by name, she recognized him
and fell at his feet weeping.
d. Jesus forbade her to touch him
(v. 17). This showed that she was
coming into a new relationship to him.
e. Mary’s testimony (v. 18). She
told the disciples that she had seen
the Lord.
2. To the disciples (vv. 19-29). He
appeared to several of his disciples at
different times during the day. This
Is the first appearance to the disciples
as a body. The rumors of his sev-
eral appearances on that day caused
the disciples to assemble to talk over
the matter. For fear of the Jews, they
met in a private room and barred the
door. While they were discussing the
strange happenings of the day, the
Lord mysteriously appeared to them.
a. When Thomas was absent (vv.
19-23).
(1) His message of peace (v. 19).
This revealed his attitude toward
them. He did not come with censure
for their failure and desertion.
(2) He showed his hands and his
side (v. 20). Having calmed their
fears, he gave them unmistakable evi-
dence of his resurrection.
(3) He commissioned them (v. 21).
“As my Father hath sent me even so
send I you." This commission was not
simply to a class, as the eleven, but
to all Christians (Luke 24-33).
(4) He bestowed the Holy Spirit up-
on them (v. 22). Tills was their equip-
ment. Only as empowered by the Holy
Ghost can one go forward as a suc-
cessful witness for Christ.
(5) The disciples' authority (v. 23).
This authority was not by virtue of
office, but by virtue of having the Holy
Ghost. This spiritual gift gave spiritu-
al discernment to know who had or
who had not repented and consequent-
ly to pronounce pardon or withhold IL
b. When Thomas was present (vv.
24-29).
(1) The victory of sight and touch
(vv. 24-28). The Lord graciously sup-
plied the evidence which Thomas need-
ed. The Lord does not rebuke those
who sincerely seek light.
(2) Greater blessing for those who
believe, not having seen (v. 29).

Prairie View College
Paragraphs
Prairie View, Texas.—Plans are
rapidly being laid for the Prairie
View relays and tennis tourney to be
held here April 28, 29 and 30.
Intercollegiate track and tennis
have been more or less a hazy dream
in these parts. Althought both Wiley
and Prairie View were represented at
the Tuskegee relays last spring, it
was not until the members of the con-*
ference voted unanimously for track
at their winter meeting that the first
intercollegiate open meet ever to be
held in his section comes to bear the
marks of a reality.
That the open relays will be a
reality is evidenced by the fact that
work on the track here has been un-
der way for several days. The four
cement courts and the four clay
courts are being put into excellent
condition for the tennis tourney.
The whole set-up has made the
campus track-conscious and now all
think in terms of track and a champ-
ionship. With the Tuskegee relays
following shortly after the Prairie
View relays, it is expected that the
Prairie View relay team will be in
excellent shape to cop a first place
at the Tuskegee meet.
Dr. E. B. Evans, athletic director,
is leaving no stones unturned in mak-
ing the initial open meet a tremend-
ous success. Applications have been
received from schools as far as New
Orleans. All members of the confer-
ence will be on hand.
