CHURCH ACTIVITIES AND RELIGIOUS WORKEbenezer A. M. E.

Using us a text Isaiah 75:15,Rev. Baber brought a splendidmessage on “Humility;” Sunday,which was the second of a seriesof sermons on “Stepping Stonesto Power” Said in part, "Themost powerful forces in the worldare meek forces. The church mustrecognize and race the real facts,dealing with them with humble ag-gressiveness, in this frenzied age,brought on by the philosophy ofhumanism. It is necessary to be-come humble in order to thinkyour way through. God himself ishumble, but is ever present, eyerworking in his world and thosewho would live for God, for therace, for the world and help tocarry the load must become hum-ble."

WANTED, AMOTHER

(Continued from Page 2)tious annoyances which disturb thetranquility of the home. The iden-tity of this person is shown in acomment which may have heard,“Our family has broken up sincemother passed away.”

Why not eliminate the ‘‘policepower” idea of the League of Na-tions until there is a world gov-ernment, and substitute for it thequalities of understanding, com-mon sense, sympathy and loveshown by mothers the world over?If these fail, parental authoritymight be exercised by the use ofan international police force.

In the strict meaning of theword “family,’ a family does notconsist of a man and wife only,but there must, be a child. Thenone can say that no family can beformed without the aid of theCreator, who gives life to the child.In addition to the gift of life tothe child, the Creator has put intothe family a power which unifiesit, the power of mother-love. Thismany have considered the mostunselfish love known to mankindand therefore a symbol of Godslove for mankind.

If there is truth in this thought,one might ask, in what way can

this moher-love be put into effec-tive action? How cun this man-made League of Xatios become atrue family? By letting the Leagueof Nations take another and stillmore progressive step. Let it orga-nize another entity by which newand higher powers may be develop-ed and function, freed front allnational, race or religious pre-judices and traditions, an insti-tution which will work in harmonywith the league and the WorldCourt. Let the new instiuion be acourt of THE HI'MAN FAMILY, asit were a Court of Domestic Rela-tions. a place for sincere consul-tation where all purely nationulinterests are subordinate to the in-terests of humanity, an advancedtribunal before which distinctionsof race, creed and class would beunknown. This Court of THE HU-Man FAMILY would be only astepping stone toward that greatSupreme Tribunal described in theteachings of Baha’u’llah, interpret-ed by His son. ‘Abdu’l-Baha, andguarded and preserved for all byShoghi Effendi, now the Guardianof the Baha’i Faith. It would be anew and progressive step towarda form of government founded andguided by the basic teaching of allreligions—the LAW OF LOVE.

In the World Court therewould be justice according to thehighest ideals of man-made laws;in the League of Nations problemswould be solved according to the

You ShouldPatronize OurAdvertisers

There are many reasons why the masses of colored citizens in Detroit should patronize the business and

professional people who advertise in the Tribune, and we are asking our good friends among the local clergy

to co-operate with this paper in impressing upon the public the necessity for spending a liberal share of theirmoney with our advertisers.

The Tribune is a public organ through which the race

in this community can make itself heard.

The Tribune not only publishes the live local newseach week, but is always on guard to protect the inter-est of the group, when individuals among us are dis-criminated against or otherwise unjustly treated.

No outside paper can take the place of a real live,newsy home paper like The Detroit Tribune.

That is why we ask you to patronizeour advertisers

methds of scientific investigationand settled by arbitration; in theCourt of the Human Family thedecisions would be rendered underGod’s law of love for Immunity,and such a tribunal could take thewords of ‘Abdu’l-Baha as the mo-tivating purpose to be expressedin its charter and by-laws:

“All the prophets were sent, allthe books were revealed, that thelaw of love might be promoted. Letus have love and more love, a lovethat melts all opposition, thatsweeps away all barriers, thatconquers all foes, a love thatahoundeth in charity, large heart-•edness, tolerance, and noble striv-ing, a love that triumphs over allobstacles, a boundless, an irresis-tible, sweeping love! Ah me! Eachone must be a sign of love, aa palace of love, a mountain oflove, a world of love, a universe oflove! Hast thou sympathy? Thenall the stars will sing thy praise. 1 *

Then this new-found MOTHERof the League of Nations could usethe shears of COMMON SENSE,

discard the fabric made of pre-

judice and traditions, greed andselfishness, and make anew man-tle of peace for her children ac-cording to a pattern of love andjustice, the style of the twentiethcentury..
