■lieu lo fast, hut unto thy Father
Whirl) is in seeret: and thy Father,
which seelh In seerrt, shall reward
thee openly."

the Harden of Eden. (ienesis S:8:
•'And they heard the voire of the
l rd (iod walking In the garden
in the tool of the day: . .
Q.—Is it not best to let children
gr,,\v up ns the.v are and give tliem
religion after they are adults?
A.—The Bible says: "Train up a
child in the way lie should go: and
when he Is old, he will not depart

A.—It is quite drar that they

of rliurrh history from the days of
the apostles to tlie coming of our
Lent. The book of Revelation Is
dedicated to these seven rhurrhes
(Revelation 1:4), and Its proplierics
reach to the cud of lime. Also, the
names of these churches are signif-
icant and are considered by many
to picture ronditions existing in
each iieriod—for instance: Ephesus
(desirable), Smyrna (sweet-smell-
ing) Fergniuos (elevation), Thya-
tira (contrition), Sard is (that
which remains), Philadelphia
(lirothrrly love), Landircu (judging
the people).
Q.—Hid Christ actually work
miracles?
A.—His bitterest enemies ad-
mitted that He did. John 11:47:
"Then gathered the chief priests
and the Pharisees a council, and
said. What do we? for this man
doeth many miracles." The Apostle
Peter also says that he did. Acts
2:!t: "Ye men of Israel, hear
these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a
man approved of (Jod among you
by mirarles and wonders and signs,
whirli (iod did liy llini in the miiM
of yon, as ye yourselves also know ."
Christ Himself said that He per-
formed miracles. Lake 11:20: "But
if I with the finger of (iod east
out devils, no dould the kingdom
of God is rome upon you."

YMCA Seeks 500 Members in
Annual Drive Set for May 2-16
DLANS are nearing completion (or the annual membership
' campaign of the Alamo City branch of the Young Men'i
Christian association, with the drfn scheduled to get under
way Tuesday, May 2, and extend 'through Tuesday, May 16.
A goal of 500 men and boy meaberi has been set.
Generalissimo of the drive is Dr. W. V. Hurd, who is chair-
man of the committee of management. 0. J. Stallings is the
chairman of the membership com-
mittee.
More than a dozen teams will
vie in the membership effort, and,
to the individual enrolling; the
highest cumber of YMCA members
will go a beautiful trophy.
On Monday, May 8, as a feature
of the drive, a special program
will be held in the observance of
National Family week. All mem-
Iters, and families with children
attending college, are urged to at-
tend. A movie, "Play Time, USA."
and a variety of family games
will be played. A brief meeting
will be held, at which the pur-
pose of Inviting families will be
explained.
On the eve of the 1050 campaign,
Odie Davis, executive secretary of
the branch, in reference to the
part that the YMCA plays In the
community, pointed out that "good
citizens don't just happen. They
are made, and, during the past
100 years, the Young Men's Chris-
tian association *ias had a hand In
making millions of them.
"While nothing can replace a
boy's parents and home in creat-
ing a good citizen, the "Y" is
aide to help in many ways, chiefly
through the influence of Its clubs
and groups.
"Through the association's 'youth
and government' programs, high
school boys gain a first-hand
knowledge of how their city and
state government works.
"For your boy and girl, parents,
dU and churches are not enough.
Include agencies and you have a
four-fernt program to actually
cover F>oy or girl."
Davis cited the purposes of the
boys irork department, to Illustrate
his point. Its three-fold purpose is
to Make boys healthy, well-balanced
and responsible citizens; to learn
how to live as members of Amer-
ica's democratic society and to
work for the common good; to
grow in their understanding, and
lore of God, and in their loyalty
to Jesus Christ.
The branch now has its largest
memmrshlp In history, but, it is
point' ! out, that is not enough,
and the cainiwignors have set their
sight- a goal far surpassing lust
year's figure.

Probably his greatest victory
was achieved May 3, 1048 when the
supreme court voted 0-0 to outlaw
racial restrictive covenants and
ruled that no court could enforce
tbeni.
Only last week the Maryland
court of appeals ruled that the
University of Maryland would have
to admit a Xegro to its nursing
school lu a case which was lultiated
hy Houston.
At Harvard university he was
the first Negro to be an editor
of the Harvard Law Review. Later,
the Harvard school awarded him
the degree of doctor of juridical
science, the first such degree a-
warded by that Institution to •
Xegro.
Houston was born In Washing-
ton, D. C, on September 3, 18D3
and received his elementary and
high school education In that city.
He was awarded the bachelor of
arts degree from Amherst college
iu 1015, a bachelor of laws from
Harvard iu 1022 and the degree of
doctor of juridical science from the
later university iu 1923.
He took time out from his studies
between 1917 and 1919 to serve as
second lieutenant 111 the 3.11st field
artillery of the I'nited States army
during World War I.
During 1923 and 1924 he studied
at the University of Madrid, Spain,
under a Sheldon traveling fellow-
ship, which also enabled htm to
travel throughout much of Europe
and uortlieru Africa whero be had
the privilege of sitting In aome of
the court sessions of Spain, Greece,
Italy, Fance, Tunisia and Algeria.

Dr. Taylor added, however, that
applications for the medical anil
dental schools were not available
because all places had lieen filled
by white students in February. In
September, 1951, be said, tlie under-
graduate college of nrts and sciences
will be opened to Negroes and the
Ixoilsvltle Municipal college will
be closed.
"There was no question that the
trustees would admit Negroes," Dr.
Tuylor said. "The only question
was how It could be worked out as
a practical matter, such as whether
we had sufficient facilities for ex-
panded classes . . .
"I have no idea how many Ne-
groes will enter the University of
Louisville this fall or a year from
then."
Louisville Municipal has an en-
rollment of 217 students. The
board's action, according to Lee P.
Miller, acting chairman, constituted
notice to the college faculty that
their work will end with the closing
of school in June, 1951.
