Surely, we live wrong! We starve, sacrifice, and slave to get

We of today will live grandly and nobly only in proportion as
we do the things that are right, regardless of what others think
or of the effect upon our worldly possessions. Paradoxical as it
seems, those who are indifferent to the opinions of men and world-
ly possessions, have the same thrust upon them. Truly, "He who

INTELLIGENCE AND INTEGRITY MAKES MEN
AND RACES GREAT
HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1932
WALKING ON THE PEOPLE
Imdicaltioms are that one or two preachers and two or three of
the bright Negro schemers are best upon trying the old game of
using the people’s equities to trade themselves into a few dollars.
This paper has announced that it will spare no human who
trim to lift himself on the backs of the people. In this struggle
for the right to vote, it is the people we are fighting for. We
want better parks, streets, lights, libraries and less abuse from
police and in the courts.
To those, who, in anticipation of our winning the right to vote,
are dickering with lital political candidates for special privileges
for themselves and for certain money, we say, you’ll buy the priv-
ilege alt the cost of exposure. For as surely as ye are selfish
parasites, this paper shall ask you by name to tell the people why
yon sought personal profit on the votes of the people.
Let Negroes go to council and decide upon supporting the can-
didalte that offers most for the mass of Negroes. Any so called
leader who slips in to see the candidates to feather his personal
west should be unhorsed and forever discarded. Get right sin-
wen! Because you can’t walk on the backs of the people this
year.
CHRISTIAN SERVICE
Most of our churches have missionary departments, through
which they administer to the needs of the benighted heathen an
foreign lands. Their missionary service is usually the most "
gelfish the churches perform and, therefore, the most creditable
But the storm ridden Negroes of Brazoria offer a better sub-
ject for missionary service than any heathen in foreign lands.
Every church in this state should take up a collection for the
flood sufferers in Brazoria, Columbia, Freeport, and Surrounding
territory! These sufferers are the ones Jesus had in mind when
He said “I was naked and ye clothed me.”
Eighty per cent of the Negroee in that section are in a destitute
condition. Many of the houses were blown flat to the ground.
Beds, chairs, bedding, clothing, stoves and every article that we
count as essential to living were destroyed. The people are de
ing out doors, trying to live off a few potatoes or a bit of bread
and bacon that they cook in holes they scrape out in their yards.
A few have tents. But for the most part, they are over ooe
ed and unsanitary. The mosquitoes, produced by the water holes
and swamps, finish the job of making life miserable.
Many are sick. Practically none are getting the rest and food
one should have after such an ordeal as they went through. The
Red Cross is serving as far as it can with its limited means, but
it just can’t care for these Negroes as ft probably would. Ne
groes must help. One old lady who had to lie under the debris
of her fallen house until it could be cut away, was limping around
barefooted a week after the storm without ever having had medi-
cal aid!
No one who professes to be a Christian needs to be asked to
send a donation to aid these people. It is only necessary to say
where. All who read this may send their donations to the editor
of The Houston Informer, marked storm relief. Every penny
will be listed and published. Every name will be published, ex.
cept where there is a special request to the contrary. In that
case, the item will be published just asia Christian gift.
Every Negro should strip himself to give to this cause, for
Jesus would want churches, lodges and individuals to do that.
Don’t wait! The need is today! Act now!
POLITICAL REFLECTIONS
Negroes are asking on every hand whether they’ll be allowed
to vote in the runoff primary Saturday. It is impossible to an-
swer because the cases to settle the question were set for Thurs-
day with the decision due Friday.
But the spectacle of them asking ought to make thoughtful
men a little more thoughtful. It is a political freak that permits
educated men and women in America to be taxed and made to
shoulder every obligation of citizenship, and to be denied the right

The spectacle of Vice President
Charles Curtis supporting prohibition
in his acceptance speech as the Re-
publican candidate for reelection, fol-
lowing a declaration by President
Hoover a few days ago against the
18th amendment, has brought forth
very little comment from the nation’s
press. Very few newspapers seem
interested in what the vice president
has to say, and those whose comments
we have viewed, are of the opinion
that Candidate Curtis is saying just
what the party leaders tell him to say.
Politics make strange bed fellows.

1. The Plan of the Tabernacle
(Exod. 25-27).
It was a rectangular structure thirty
cubits long, ten cubits wide and ten
cubits high. It was divided into two
rooms: the Holy Place, and the Holy
of Holies. These rooms were sepa-
rated by the valL The tabernacle
was within a court one hundred cubits
long and fifty cubits wide. Within the
court, before the door of the taber-
nacle, was situated the brazen altar;
between the altar of sacrifice and the
door was the laver; Inside the Holy
Place the candlestick and table of
shewbread; directly in front of the
vail the altar of incense which was
closely connected with the brazen al-
tar in the contact of fire and blood.
In the Holy of Holies was found the
Ark of the Covenant, the most sacred
object of the entire tabernacle.
II. The Meaning of the Tabernacle
(Exod. 28-30).
The tabernacle was the symbol of
God’s dwelling place. The bond of
union affording a medium of commu-
nication was the priesthood. The
priest was the mediator between God
and the people. The tabernacle typi-
fied the incarnation of God in Christ
(John 1:14). The furniture of the
tabernacle, beginning with the brazen
altar, symbolized the spiritual history
of the worshiper, making clear the
sinner’s method of approach unto God.
The position of the brazen altar at the
door of the tabernacle indicated that
no one could draw nigh unto God ex-
cept by way of that altar. The ques-
tion of sin must be settled before man
dares approach God. The laver typl-
flee the sanctification of the believer.
Sanctification was effected by the
washing at the lever, prefiguring the
influences of God's Word. The candle
stick with its central shaft and its ex-
tending branches indicated the unity
and diversity of God’s people. The
candlestick also shows the purpose
of the sanctification of the believer;
namely, to ahine for God. The table
of shewbread was for a memorial
unto God of his chosen people, one
loaf for each tribe. The altar of in-
cense symbolized communion with
God in worship. The putting of the
blood from the brazen altar on the
altar of incense shows that acceptable
prayer rests on the ground of the
atoning work of Christ The vail sym-
bolizes the flesh of Christ. The rend-
ing of the veil at the time of Christ’s
crucifixion shows that the death of
Christ gives access to God. The mercy
seat upon which the blood of the sin
offering was sprinkled indicates that
the claim of God's law had been satis-
fied.
III. The Offerings for the Taber-
nacle (Exod. 35 :20-29).
1. The motive of giving (v. 21, cf.
v. 5). “Whosoever is of a willing
heart, let him bring it, an offering of
the Lord." Giving which meets God's
approval must spring from the heart
(II. Cor. 9:7). The offering must not
only be made of a willing mind, but it
must be as unto the Lord, an expres-
sion of love and godly fear.
2. Who had part in giving (v. 22).
“They came both men and women." It
was God's purpose from the beginning
that women should unite in the sup-
port and care of the worship of God.
3. What was to be given (vv. 23-28).
Two features characterized the giv-
ing: measure and variety.
a. The measure. They brought what
they had to bring. No one is under ob-
ligation to give that which he does
not possess. This is emphasized in
such expressions as “every man with
whom was found," “all the women
who were wise hearted.” What one
has to give is clearly the measure of
one’s duty in giving.
b. Variety. They brought Jewelry
(v. 22), gold (v. 22), fine linen (v. 23),
goat’s hair and rough skin (v. 23).
Wise hearted women would spin with
their hands (v. 25). The rulers brought
the expensive tilings that were need-
ed (v. 27).
IV. The Workers Who Constructed
the Tabernacle (Exod. 35 :29-36:7).
1 Wise hearted women (35:25, 26).
2. Skilled artists (35:30-86:4),
Bezaleel and Ahellab, with others, ex-
ecuted this task. Their wisdom and
skill were the result of the Spirit of
God upon them.

HOUSTON’S PUBLIC
LIBRARY
By Attorney J. M. NABRIT, Jr.
Cultural opportunities are few and
far between for Negroes of Houston,
and it is a serious thing, fraught with
inherent dangers, when the Colored
Library (Negroes’ sole means of cul-
tural and educational enlightenment
and entertainment) is ransacked and
disrupted by members of the white
library staff in the absence of Bessie
Osborne, the efficient librarian.
Personally, my family reads from
four to eight books a week from that
library twelve months in the year as
the library cards will show and that
intensive use of the library facilities
has disclosed several glaring defects
in the literary system. As dean of the
State College in Arkansas, I helped
organise, equip, and catalog books for
the State College Library and hence
feel at least a familiarity with some
problems of libraries and librarians.
In the first place, it is manifestly
unfair to allow the librarian to take
her vacation when her library is to
be over-run and torn up by persons
unfamiliar with it and its files. Any
fair investigation would have either
been made before or after her vaca-
tion or she would have been apprised
of the investigation and given an op-
portunity to forego her vacation.
In the second place, the defect in
the Houston Library System lies not
in the librarian at the Colored library,
but in the Houston library system it-
self. I have seen the staff at the
Colored library cataloging books and
no other colored branch in this coun-
try was required to catalog in 1980.
The staff is over-worked now. In the
face of this, courtesy and service are
always to be found in the library.
Who is trained to catalog books in
the Colored Branch? If it is necess-
ary to catalog there, a trained person
should be added to the staff whose
duty it will be to catalog.
The Houston Library has no Order
department as all well organized li-
braries have. Instead, every branch
and assistant orders books in a hap-
hazard way. A casual survey of li-
braries will prove that cataloging and
book ordering are in one department
(In Lousiville, Kentucky, for example)
in efficient library systems.
Carnegie gave the building for the
Colored branch. At least, the city
should adequately equip it and man
it. Yet, one is unable to secure re-
ference books or read the currently
discussed books or complete a scientif-
ic treatment of a subject from the
material in the colored branch. What
is needed is a larger appropriation and
larger staff. We pay our proportion
of taxes and have only one small
branch library. The whites have a tre-
mendous main library and numerous
branches. We pay for books and as-
sistants in their libraries and can’t

Why can’t we live, and live always.
And never, never die?

As live up in the sky.

And know what’s all beat;
When people come to know oar worth.
We learn oar time is out.
What is the uee to ed-u-cate.
Prepare ones self for life;
Or strive to gain the wealth we do.
Then leave it all to wife?
She may be worth the things we leave.
But then we much prefer, ____
To put off wearing the golden crown.
And live on earth with her.
But then, if that can’t be arranged.
On this terrestrial shore;
Then let us leave this world as one.
And give things to the poor.
But, since I have an after thought;
All of us with one accord
Must fight it out as best we can.
And leave all to the Lord..

DISSUADERS
“I would not try that if I were you.
You will never succeed at that meth-
od. Of course, you can use your own
judgment, but I’ve tried that very
plan and it did not work.”
“Those people will not do what they
say; they are a promising lot, but
their promises never Tote ere L29
firts.”
“Young man, you are following a
dream. Men better prepared than
you, and men who had stronger bodies
and deeper desires started out with
the same ideas which you have, but
they gave up in defeat. It just can't
be done.”
Do these admonitions sound familiar
to you? How many of them have
you heard today? Theae are the warn-
ings of the dissuaders. But who are
the dissuaders? Persons who have
become discouraged, tired, footsore,
weary travel worn; persons who be-
cause of sickness, grief, misfortune,
lack of persistence have not succeed-
ed; persons who have failed—these
are the dissuaders.
Advice should be taken with can-
tion even from the enthusiastically
hopeful. It should not be even listen-
ed to from the discouraged. Along
this line an old fashion rhyme sug-
gests itself:
“"Tis a lesson you should heed.
Try, try again;
If at first you don't succeed,
get them in ours. I like to read the
latest and best books and I have a ______
right to expect them in the Colored • Try, try again.”
Speaking of whether Negroes use
the library, go out there and see.
Readers are coming and going all day,
even if half the time the books they
want are not there because there is
no appropriation for them, or because
the white library decides that Ne-
groes don't need to read them. We
read in proportion to the Negro popu-
lation to the white population, as the
number of white libraries is to the
number of colored libraries. Conven-
ience plays a great part in reading-
if not, why take a branch of the white
library to the Heights. Take that in
consideration when asking whether we
use the library or not. We use it as
far as its convenience and material
allow u.

Dentine contains about 62 per cent

about 28 par sent organic matter and
10 per cent water. It is a porous

It is softer than either enamel or den-

and is better nourished.
The pulp is vary vascular, having
both a blood and nerve supply.
We can readily see that the grant,

calcium. When any heavy demand
for calcium is made by the body this
element will of necessity disappear
from the tooth. The result is decay
