Cartwright delivered a spirual message to the Junior church which was enjoyed by all present. The congregation responded with a liberal offering. The B. Y. P. U. was well attended. A splendid program was rendered, Miss Bessie Middleton, who is a member of the High School faculty, delivered an address, Subject: "The Perfect Model. In her address she gave a most beautiful illustration of Christ as a perfect model and admonished the youth to try and emulate the life of Christ, the Perfect Model. Her address was so inspiring that she held the attention of the young people from beginning to end. The B. Y. P. U. is looking forward to hearing Miss Middleton speak again soon. She is a beautiful Christian character and is held in high esteem by the young people and all others who know her. The president rendered a beautiful reading which was much appreciated by all present. The B. Y. P. U. is indeed grateful to our president, Mrs. W. C. Hackett for the service rendered by her toward the young people. She is loved by all who know her. Mr. William Steed favored the B. Y. P. U. with an inspirational address. He is chairman of the Deacon Board of the Junior Church. The Junior Church was favored with an inspiration address Sunday evening by Rev. Duvall of Prescott. MRS. TILLIE TURNER. Reporter. Rev. S. A. Williams, returning from a succesful revival meeting which he held in Los Angeles, stopped here enroute to his home in Coffyville, Kansas, Tuesday. At the urgent request of the Colored Baptist Church, he delivered two addresses. Tuesday night he spoke on "Love, the badge of Christion Distinction." Love, he said, leads to visualization and looks beyond faults and sees beauty; it leads to power and sustains us in our joys. Wednesday evening he delivered his farewell address which was a spiritfilled message. His presence has been greatly enjoyed by the people of Phoenix and his return is looked forward to by his many friends.

Everybody went away saying the Freshmen surely know how to entertain. Last Friday afternoon the student body went to the aviation field to watch the thrilling stunt flying by Mr. Banning and Mr. Powels. We are very proud to say that this school has membership in the Bessie Coleman Flying club. Robert Mims was the first to join from this school. Monday and Tuesday, December 9 and 10 games were played between the Freshmen and Sophomores. We found out that the Sophomores were very poor losers. The Seniors carried away the Juniors in the first half, giving them no possible chance to score. The Seniors are proud of their forward, Lena Galbreath. Monday, December 16, the student body of this school is giving a Christmas festival. We are hoping to see a packed house, as this seems to be one of the best entertainments of the season.

THE HOME The Home is gradually changing in its significance. An open fire was the center of the first home. Around its warmth on cold nights gathered the family group securely protected from world blasts. Here beneath an overhanging rock, or within a sheltering cave the family found safety, comfort and companionship. For these reasons the people of long ago came to look upon the fireplace as a sacred spot. It was here that the head of the family, the father and his helpmate gathered their children around them and talked to them of the lives they wanted their children to live, of the noble characters and ideals which had long been cherished through the line of ancestry. They spoke in glowing terms of the fact that not one among that line had betrayed the family name, but remained loyal to the trust. The children must walk in the same path and be proud to say: I am a Brown. Home life meant then, and it should mean today, the center and heart of life, the place where little lives were shaped and moulded while they were yet tender and easily yielded to nobler character formation. The word "dwelling place" never had the same meaning as the word "home." A person may dwell in a palace and be a stranger there, or he may live in a hut and be at home. Marble floors and gilded walls will never make home. The home feeling depends on whether peace and affection and training are found within the dwelling place. The focus is the home fire, whether it blazes upon the heartstone or quietly within the human heart. The home circle, the fireside training, and instructions, the zealous interest of parents in the cultural background of their children is passing. The home fires are becoming dying embers. The home has become a dwelling place. ARIZONA GLEAM QUOTATION CONTEST Third Week 1. The man that will steal for you will steal from you if he gets a chance. 2.

You can be good sitting in a chair, but who cares. The race isn't interested in what you know, how many college degrees you hold, how good you are or have been, but in what you can do. Are you one of those kind with a sign out, "I have the goods, but don't deliver?" Suppose we take up a few definitions. The modern definition of a friend is one who will come and tell you all the gossip that's being said about you, and tell you, and tell you the name and initials of the person who said it, and when and under what conditions it was said. A social bore is a person who talks about himself all the time, won't let you talk about yourself and always knows the news before you do. A society butterfly is a person who knows nothing, says nothing, does nothing. He'll put a ten dollar hat on his ten cent head and thrust himself on society. A social climber is a person who seeks introductions to the first people of the city and starts his ascent, but where in the name of common nonsense is he climbing to? Culture and merit are keynotes to social success. A social critic is a person who looks out his window and observes that his neighbor's washing is dirty this week, when the truth of the matter is that his window glass has not been washed since the last rain and the smeared pane gives him a blurred vision. MYSELF By Lawrence A. McHenry MYSELF If I was an artist, the picture of life I would draw, From birth to the age of six months old, It would be to my mother as precious as gold. From the cradle through education, romance marriage and to fame, I would do my best to play my part in the game. Then to my narrow home to rest. But in my name which would live for ever for the great things I had done. N—Say, fellow, I don't see any use in marrying that girl because you won't take care of her. J—That's the trick. I am tired of taking care of myself. BAPTIST GROWTH There were in the United States 70,000 Baptists, colored and white in ..... 1800 There were in the United States 454,070 Baptists colored and white in, ..... 1851 There were in the United States 1,715,749 Baptists, colored and white in..... 1881 Of these about 745,000 were colored.

We know a man out our way who is so wet in his sympathies that he threw his radio out of the window when he learned that it contained dry cells. Fashion experts say that the fur muff is coming back, and ladies are already wearing them in Montreal this season. Wonder if this wouldn't be a good idea for the bootlegger, too? All sorts of methods are offered, but it's a good bet that one of the most potent factors in keeping the average woman looking young is the corner drug store. First Person - What are the kids talking about? Second Person-This is a crow's conversation and no buzzards allowed. Schoolboy-Teacher, how many feet are there in a yard? Teacher—There are three feet in a yard. Why? Schoolboy-I was just looking at Jack's feet, but they are so large that it would only take two of his to make a backyard. Me—Granny, what are you looking for? You—My glasses, dear. I can't find them anywhere. Me—Why granny, they are on your forehead. Boy—Why do you to go church? Girl—To hear the services, of course. What do you go for? Boy—To see some of the funny sights my father has been talking about. Some people go through life touching red hot pokers to see if they will get burned. ARIZONA GLEAM C. S. V.

Washington—Phone 6351 Young People's Activities MAKING FRIENDS OF TOIL TOIL OF BRAIN AND HAND In a delightful tale for children, Hawthorne tells the story of a little boy who loved to do only what was beautiful and agreeable, and who took no pleasure in labor of any kind, trying to get away from a very strict school master who went by the name of Mr. Toil. Those who knew Mr. Toil best said that he was a worthy character, and that he had done more good, both to children and grown people than anybody else in the world. But the boy, Daffydowndilly was his name, made up his mind to escape the ugly visaged school master. Everywhere he went, however, under one guise or another, Mr. Toil was there to be found, until at last the little fellow learned the lesson that diligence is not a whit more toilsome than sport or idleness, while its results are infintely more satisfying. Hawthorne's little allegory contains a truth that should be taken to heart by all young people who wish to make the most of themseves. An early acquaintance with Mr. Toil managing your father's farm and working at odd moments, improving machinery will make you good friends, and the friendship will never be broken. The sight of Mr. Toil should never be distasteful to you. He is the true nobleman of the world. It is the toil of brain and hand that provides the conveniences, the comforts, the luxuries that we enjoy. Work, then, is the master of the world, by which alone can native capacity reach its fullest fruition. Without it, genius itself remains fruitless. With it, mediocrity often time rises to greatness. Incessant work for many hours a day and for many years, was a habit formed and toil that will never come irksome. I make a play of it. This suggests preserverance and concentration, two essential factors in making dreams come true. To grow higher, wider and deeper as the years go on is true progress. I like Emerson's idea that the soul contains the event that shall befall it; that success is, after all, the product of a man's character. Build those qualities that command success; and success will surely come. The burning issue among the girls nowadays is whether to bob it again or let nature take its course. ARIZONA GLEAM le's Activities Mamma wonders why you didn't Save the dimes you threw away, But you felt too strong and healthy For insurance, people say. You were taken without warning, Leaving us to fight alone. You'd have taken out insurance Daddy, if you only had known. It wasn't that you didn't love us, I recall how dear you were. But your little girl must suffer 'Cause you failed to save for her. Mamma just can't make the living! She is wearing out, she said; I shall have to miss some schooling For the sake of daily bread. When she's gone I guess they'll take To a place of charity, To be clothed and fed; but Daddy It can never be home to me. Mary's daddy left insurance And their home will still be theirs; They're not hungry; sometimes Mary Gives me castoff clothes she wears.

BARBIN PASSES AT HOT SPRINGS Hot Springs, Ark. After a lingering illness that extended over a period of nearly two years, Dr. J. H. Barabin quietly passed away here at his home Saturday morning, Nov. 16, at ten o'clock. Mrs. Barabin, his two sons, Joseph and William, his daughter, Mrs. F. J. Wright, and his niece, Miss Madlene Decuier were at his bedside when the end came; also several close friends of the family. A short but very touching memorial exercise was held at the home here Monday morning, after which the body was sent to Marianna, Arkansas for burial. Although born in Louisiana, it was Dr. Barabin's request that he be buried in Marianna amid the scenes where he labored so long serving suffering humanity. Was Clinical Director For a number of years Dr. Barabin had been connected with the W. O. U. Hospital here as head of the department of Clinical Medicine and in that capacity played a large part in developing that famous institution to the point where he is now recognized as the foremost fraternal hospital in the world owned and operated by Negroes. Dr. Barabin's fame as a practitioner of medicine is well established throughout the southwest and other sections of the country where hundreds of men and women are living testimonials to his efficient and pains-taking service as one of the foremost physicians that the Race has produced. One of the greatest tributes that can be paid any man when his life's work is finished is that he spent his life unselfishly in serving others. This can truly be said of Dr. Barabin, for he never failed to answer a call when that call would do somebody else some good. Dr. Barabin was not only an eminent B. B.
