II. KNIGHT KING CELEBRATED COLLE TAKES EUROPE HONORED (By Associated Negro Press.) London, England—Roland W Hayes, the celebrated Negro tenor, has had fine recognition during his visit to London, where he has been given a series of recitals in the best concert halls. His accompanist, Mr. Brown, has been equally praised for his fine playing. Last November he was selected from among a group of American artists in London to sing the "Star Spangled Banner" at the Thanksgiving celebration by Americans in London. Mr. Hayes left New York for Europe last year. The remarkable success he has enjoyed since coming to England culminus. LOCAL ODD FELLOWS HAD EVENTFUL DAY SEVERAL GRAND I The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth promptly at 12:45 p. m. formed a line of parade, headed by the Maid of Honor, the officers of the day, H. W. Hashington, t. E. Walker, Butler and J. R. Dirden in cars, after these came the Odd Fellows in the regalia. The rear was brought up by Grand Lodge officers in cars. The following Grand Lodge and Household officers were D. G. Hosee, D. G. M.; H. D. Ahern, D. G. M.; N. G. M.; E. S. Kennan, D. G. T.; Mrs. C. D. Williams, D. G. Chamberlain, A. H. Hart, M. E. Wenner and B. M. B. Nibles, Grand Lodge. The line of march began at the Odd Fellows' Hall, corner Crosby and Hobson, moved on San Felipe Street to Dallas Avenue, to Travis Street, to Prairie Avenue, down Prairie to Louisiana Street, on Louisiana to Capitol Street, and down Prairie to her standing in the rain were the members of the Household of Ruth waiting. The Ruthies reviewed the Odd Fellows and then promptly at 1:50 began entering the Auditorium and not until fully 20 minutes had passed, when she raped the gavel to seat the orders and introduced Col. Wm. Wynford, who conducted the preliminaries and then turned the gavel over to P. W. F. H.

This shows that all eyes are fixed on Houston. At this point the prosecution of nubia was carried out. The Shilsh chair put itself on record. How could it do otherwise, under the leadership of such an efficient pastor as Rev. W. M. Clark and its able chairister? Master J. H. Harmon most excellently, his touch demonstrated. Ras W. M. Clark made the Old Fellows turn their attention to the saving of souls, and the gathering in Christians to the order. Rev. Clark is truly a pulpitifer of much ability. The day was an enjoyable one and P. N. T. H. B. Washington and office of nubia be highly commanded for their arrangement of Slides. H. B. Washington is the right man in the right place. MRS. A. B.

E HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1921 RACE HEAVIES REFUSE TO AID DEMPSEY TRAIN (By the Associated Negro Press) New York City - It is said 2,000,000 men are out of work in this country yet several good jobs are going begging. Jack Dempsey is finding it difficult to train training quarters which he will presently pitch in Atlantic City by the sea waves. It is a funny thing about some of our big fighters. They claim they can lick Dempsey, but when they are offered the opportunity to train, they do not. Dempsey does not ask, "them to "poll" when they are training with him. He puts them under no bonds to keep peace. He is willing to have them tear into him, biff, bang, and there is nothing to prevent them from knocking him out if they can. Then he tries to work for a company for a man to make a quick reputation, but is there any great rush to the doors of opportunity? There is not. When Dempsey was training for Joan Willard, his manager, Jack Kearns, was to Harry the Willie, the No-heavy, and offered him 5,000 to work with the present champ. Willies declined the offer. This was probably more money than Willies received from his average battle. He does not apologize, but he did not fail of his inability of secure matches. Yet Willies could not with Dempsey, and his reason was that he thought he could either Dempsey or Willard. Perhaps he could. But it seems certain that did not gain in the opportunity of proving it. Training camp courtesy may demand that a training partner must not "show up" the man he is working with, but where the man is a defiant champion who has no objection to show up, it would appear to be a great sport for him. Kid Norfolk, another NEGro fighter, who claims a title, has declined to assist Dempsey in preparing for Carpenter. Norfolk's reason is said to be that he is not a big fan of the title. He says he will work with Jack if the champion will guarantee him a title match later on. Norfolk does not need such a guarantee from Dempsey. If he can go into Dempsey's training quarter and win, he will not need anything could keep him out of a title title. Furthermore, the man who licked Dempsey would assuredly be a great card, title or no title. Norfolk claims the Negro heavyweight champion is a pretty cool fighter and would be valuable to Dempsey. He is fast and crafty. Harry Greb, the Pittsburgh windmill is said to have refused an offer to Dempsey. Greb has often expressed his desire to fight Jack and seem that the training quarters would furnish him the opportunity to display his skills to fight Jack and while the champion is getting ready. other pleasure in life 'but simply music (?) of the local band.

HENRY PRITCHARD, Director Masonic Band. LOCAL COLORED Y TO OPERATE UNDER RACE'S FULL CONTROL; BOARD'S ACTION COMMENDED THOUSANDS COMMENDED INFORMER'S EDITORIAL ON LOCAL LAWLESSNESS So many inquiries have reached this office relative to the future of the colored Young Men's Christian Association work in this community, following the declination of the new colored board of directors or committee of management to serve under the "big stick" policy of the white Y. M. C. A. board, that The Informer wishes to state that the colored work will be operated on an independent basis,—manned, managed, operated and financed exclusively by members of the colored race. This will probably necessitate the reorganization of the local colored Y. M. C. A., since branch relations with the whites have been broken off; and under existing circumstances and conditions, the race here is a unit in standing by the action of the new board in refusing to serve under the despotic and kaiseristic policy and attitude of the white board. Since the severance of branch relations with the whites, for the reasons stated in last week's issue of The Informer, which created quite a sensation, both in and out of Y. M. C. A. circles, several colored members have announced that they will double and troble their contributions and pledges; one business man who had already contributed $25 cash stating that he would do People in all walks of life and members of both races have been loud and unstinted in their praise of the editorial in last week's issue of The Informer, under the caption of "Heavenly Houston's Horrors." It has been particularly gratifying to see the attitude of the leading ministers of the race anent both the editorial of last week and the editorial policy of The Informer, generally. Without boasting or endeavoring to indulge in self-praise, The Informer has always striven to contend for right as God gives its editorial force to see the right and the main theme of all its editorial discussions is a plea for righteousness in church and state and the complete eradication and discarding of all practices and customs destined to wreak to our body politic. nate another $50 to show that he is in hearty accord with the colored board's action and Richardson's editorial policy. Another pledged to give an additional $100, while several of the race's leading business and professional men have promised to contribute substantial amounts to operate the Y work on an independent basis. It will be borne in mind that the colored citizens had already contributed in cash and pledges nearly $3000 for the 1921 budget, which amount has been deposited in a local bank and can only be drawn out by the colored organization. Former Executive Secretary H. P. Carter, who has resigned and accepted a position with the Standard Life Insurance Company, states that he will devote his spare moments gratuitously to the local work. In the immediate future a call will be issued to former members of the old board—those who had charge of the work during 1920—and the work will probably be reorganized and continued on an independent basis. Local colored Y. M. C. A. leaders and race leaders are of the opinion that this is the only manly and sensible thing to do in the prepares and they have been assured of the whole-hearted support and encouragement of the race in their undertaking. The Informer realizes that we are living in perilous times; that lawlessness is the reigning passion of the day and that the policy and program of "might makes right," is the unwritten law of our section; but in the face of all such demonstrations and manifestations of mobocracy and the disintegration of law and order, this paper shall continue to stand for law and order and shall do its utmost to aid in crystallizing public sentiment against all deeds and practices calculated to precipitate domestic disorders, turmoil, strife and bloodshed. The Informer takes this method of expressing its profound gratitude to those who have been so loud in their praise of the leading editorial in last week's issue and pledges itself to "carry on" for the ultimate triumph of right over wrong.

The name of this mysterious but certainly effective organization is the Knights of the Kerosene Kan. The word has gone out, and has reached the places where words count most, that for every Negro terrorized or unjustly put to death, there shall be a demonstration in fireworks in the community thereabouts. So mysteriously are the workings of this invisible body that neither heads nor tails of it can be located, and yet it is known that where certain perpetrations of terror have been carried on, there has simultaneously occurred mysterious fires that have lighted up the country for miles around. In one Southern city, well-known throughout the nation, where the Klux sought to terrorize the community because of the mere alleged attack of a Negro upon a white woman, and the Klux called for "all red-blooded Americans" to meet at a certain point at a certain hour to wipe out the Negroes, there was one of the biggest fires in the business district that was ever seen there. The fire occurred at the "appointed hour" and detracted attention from the proposed event. Conservative white people of the South know of this turn of affairs, and that accounts for one of the reasons why they are so boldly denouncing the Klux. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH TENDERED REV.

A Chicago baseball critic has paid Catcher Harper Palkins of the Philadelphia Athletics a great compliment. He says Palkins is the correct catcher in the game, but he doesn't know where he comes from Chicago, which is Schalch's habitat. Otherwise he might not insert that "barring" stuff. Taking critics generally it probably will be found that Schalch is a bit of a bad guy, but he can league when it comes to handling pitches, younger though he is. He has done wonders with Connie Mack's assessment of twirlers and Mack and his teammates. He has been a great catcher from Chicago. EIGHT WISE RULES FOR GOLF PLAYERS The wise golfer cultivates good nature on the links instead of harrowing the feelings of his friends. A ball on the green is worth two in the bush. The grouch is as out of place on the links as is the provisional one. When you make a good drive never boat--make another. Golferes love a good looser and contribute to the enjoyment by playing a game with him. If a golfer will persist in giving him what he paid for his license. When Dame Nature and Human Nature hobnob together Good Nature says "Me, too." WAS BREAKING IN NEW MITT Excuse Given by Hooper for Dropping Fly Ball - Must Be Some Time, Says Bodie. Some years ago Harry Hooper, right fielder of the Boston Ied Soc,押救 a new glove and used it during the Giants. In one of the games he happened to drop a fly ball of the kind he usually use it. The catcher Mancherge Jake Stalli knew how he came to make the error, and Hooper's excuse was that he had been wearing his new glove. His was related later at a hotel, one of the players laughingly saying: Harry Hooper. "Just think of Hooper breaking in a new nutt in a world's series game." "Well," remarked Ping Bodie, who happened to be one of the group, "he had to break it in some time, didn't he?" GIVE NAVAL CREW QUARTERS American Banker' Association Donates $200,000 for Suitable Structure for Athletes. United States Naval academy crews will be housed in new quarters, which will be provided from a fund of $200,000, the gift of the American Banks' association. Members of the association viewed Amphipolis on the occasion of their convention at Washington last year and were astonished at the lack of suitable housing for the Olympic and American championship crews, and the gift was the result. Harry Hooper. padded Catcher Ralph Perkins of the Philas. He says Perkins is the smartest catcher Remember the crite who admits so much 'shait. Otherwise he might not insert the catcher. He's the best Perkins as the best catcher in the Ameri- piters, youngest you hear he is. He is assessment of sports and black and full due of credit for it. Sparrow Press, Goldie Rapp can play third base well—also the plano. Margets and Jeffries are pitching fine ball for Princeton. Kid Gleason is hoping his White Sox are "ailt wool and a gild walt, batters can Waitle him out. If White Hoyte, Yankee hurrier, gets wild, batters can Waitle him out. The best crime a ball player can commit is that of stealing bases. Because a player sits on the bench now and then is no sign he's a ball tramp park. Connie Mack's "wonder team" has been a baten by everybody the Colonial Dames. The New York Yank batters can't be pinched for threatening every pitcher in the league. Baltimore college test its manager when Johnny Bowen, sliding into a base, broke an ankle. Incidentally, George Torperor ought to be pretty good on double plays with his four eyes. Georgetown's coach has shifted the team in an effort to get some hitting to aid the strong batteries. * Several of the Dartmouth ball team are said to be stated for league berths at the end of spring series. Horace Founer, star twiiter of Kalmuzoo college, will pitch for the Kalmuzoo central league club. "Brooklyn Twisters Worrying Robby"-Heend Lima. They didn't worry the Indians very much last fall. Gene Paulette, recent pupil in Judge Landis' school for better baseball, will play semi-pro ball at Massillon, O. The Dodgers ought to lead the league in double plays this year, having two infenders for every position. The San Francisco club has released Insider Jimmie Brannan to the Petersburg club of the Virginia league. The squirrels may be interested in noting that George Baungarder, the former Brownie, has signed with Joplin. "Duster" Mails may have "Rabbit Ears" for hearing remarks on the sideboard cotton is a very cheap commodity. Crooked baseball players are learning that Judge Landis' punishments are not based on what he said about bona fides. The uncleared club announces that it has given the betrothed club a form of opinion on Peter Roussel Artist, good until September 1. Ty Cobb is using the honor system on his ball club. "Give the bad ones plenty of ropes and they quickly hang themselves," is his motto. The veteran Karl Stroud has changed his mind about playing outlaw ball in California and will again pitch for the Salt Lake team. Seattle and Los Angeles baseball teams went 22 innings before Seattle finally won by a 12 to 8 count. The game was played at Los Angeles. Home has heard about Babe Ruth's prowess as a home-run hitter. Rabe has been invited to visit Italy and instruct Casavar's in athletics. Baseball Notes THE TRAIL BLAZERS J. B. Grigsby, Pres., N.

SIT STEADY—DON'T ROCK THE BOAT! SIT STEADY—DON'T ROCK THE BOAT! The Informer, in line with its previous policy, desires to again put its stamp of disapproval upon the currently reported organization of some kind of a powerfully secret and retaliatory order among our people here and in other Southern communities, having for its avowed object reprisals for depredations and operations of the exponents of the "invisible government" who are terrorizing this and other Southern communities. The Informer is unalterably opposed to any organization, among any people, in any section of this reputed democratic republic, taking the law into their hands and striving to mete out punishment to certain offenders, despite the alleged crime or provocation; for such lawlessness brees disrespect for law and order, begetsempt for constituted authorities and establishes a reign of despotism and anarchy, making the life of every citizen unsafe. The relations between the two races in Houston, while not what it should have been, has been far more cordial and amicable than in most Southern cities with such a large colored population, and it will be an awful day for this community when these friendly relations are disrupted by the acts and deeds of indiscreet zealots and mobocratic patriots, if such a combination is possible. As peaceful, law-abiding and loyal American citizens, let us not lose our heads in the present crisis. Let others become victims of "klan hydrophobia" and "dementia mobocratic," but as for us and our house let us not resort to artificial means of producing terror nor employ force in a retaliatory manner. "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord," declares the Holy Writ; while the same Book declares that the retributive law is inexorable and immutable, viz: "Whatsoever a man sowth that shall he also reap." When Peter lost his head as Christ was being tried before His accusers and inflicted an injury upon a mobocratic spectator with a sword, the Great Teacher reubek Peter and admonished him that he who slays with the sword shall perish by the sword, and commanded him to discard his carinal weapon. The farmer goes into the field and plants corn. He cultivates the crop and then when the grain is ripe and harvest time arrives, he is a silly farmer that expects to reap cotton or potatoes or fruit where he has planted corn. He sowed corn and he reaps corn, in some instances one hundred fold. Man is not immune to this natural law, divinely promulgated and prosecuted slowly, but surely and unerringly. No man can escape the inevitable, for the sins of the fathers are visited unto the children of the third and fourth generation, according to the sacred scriptures. Pay day is coming by and by and those who have engaged in lawlessness and despotism will get a kind of check much to their dislike, and then what is worse, the check will be non-transferable and must be cashed by the payee. What is done in the dark will ultimately be brought to light, and the encouraging feature is that such obnoxious and diabolical deeds cannot stand the light either of this world or the world to come. The Informer stands for the supremacy of the law and in assuming this position it does not preach doctility and cowardice for this paper believes that every man has an inalienable right to protect his life and that of his family at any cost and the man who will not perish, if need be, for defending his home and his life from external aggression does not deserve to live. The Informer has not lost faith in a few of our white citizens, even in "hellish Houston," and since right has always prevailed in the long run, the present crisis is no exception to the rule. Onlyools—people with a grudge against themselves and everybody else—play with dynamite, and God knows there is enough of such damnelfooling going on among the other race without our people imitating these "invisible idols," "nocturnal nuts," "mobocratic miscreants," "mysterious murderers" and "anarchistic asses." Let us sit steady—don't rock the boat; for "Right is right since God is God, And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin." "Right is right since God is God, And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin." OUR RACE DISGUSTED AT MOB-RULE Not since the exodus of our people from the South has there been such widespread anxiety and unrest, locally, as is now manifest here, and many of our best and most substantial citizens are trying to sell their belongings and leave Houston for more civilized and congenial climes. Several of our leading colored business and professional men plan to sell out at once, if they can get a purchaser, and shake the dull "hellish (horrible to relate) Houston" from their feet. Many colored owners of local real estate are willing to sell their holdings at a loss in order that they might cash in on said posses- THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1921 [Name] plumbed for his courageous act and in his new field of endocardio should be supported our people. Mr. Carter is highly fitted for the new field of endocardio, no novice in the insurance game, having had years of experience with the insurance companies. Mr. Carter will be associated with Prof. Aaron Day, agency director for the Texas territory, embracing fully thirty (30) counties, with the branch office. According to the new plan of the standard the local office will look at the 30 counties comprising the Texas territory, embracing fully thirty (30) counties comprising the district, all collection of premiums, etc. he made through the Houston of office. Mr. Carter has been designated as the assistant agency director and will attend the district day. The local office is located in room 205, Taborian Building, 307% takes pleasure in commending this brilliant and able young man to the PROF. H. P. CARTER, who recently resigned his position as executive secretary of the colored Young Men's Club, has been appointed the board's hostile and prejudicial opposition to Editor Richardson serving on the colored board of management, has been appointed to the Life Insurance Company with a much larger salary than the one received for his position. He possesses unusual ability, sterving qualities, is active in church and civic movement that means for the alleviation of the condition of mankind. Upon request of many ex-serviers, Mr. Carter will devote his spare moments looking after the wants of his team in the world war, rendering this service to the local Y without charges. He will updress up as a team, other sections of Texas and even colored Georgia, which has been colored insurance company, will be forced to sit up and take notice: for the colored insurance companies in their district they will get the majority of it for the old Standard Life Insurance Company. If you want to be a member, you haven't enough insurance, see Carter; for if you don't see him he is certainly The Informer regrets that conditions are so rotten and the situation so acute here that citizens consider it very imperative to sell out and leave Houston. Many colored citizens—who had planned to make additional purchases of real estate, enlarge their businesses, take out more insurance on their property and improve and beautify their homes and premises—have decided to postpone indefinitely these plans and pursue the Wilsonian policy of "watchful waiting." With despotic mob-rule and anarchy stalking openly and unchallenged in our community, these colored citizens are rather to be commended for their actions and decisions. These citizens of color regard the local situation as being critical and Miss Houston in a precarious condition. Only the heroic and herculean efforts of Doctors Law and Order can give the patient immediate relief, to restore to her her former pristine health. If these "gangsters" and mobbists were of the irresponsible element, perhaps a little solace could be found in that fact; but when supposed civic leaders are the instigators of such acts of lawlessness and the prime movers in endeavoring to establish an "invisible and mysterious" super-government, it is high time for all sane and sensible people to reflect seriously on this matter. The Informer is neither dismayed nor discouraged, and it elects to stand its ground and again plead for a reign of law and order in Houston; for where fools continually play with fire there is grave danger of a mighty conflagration. Many of our people have spent their lifetime trying to accumulate some of this world's goods in this city, and in their anxiety to leave here many of them will sacrifice much. This is to be deplored, but it is not within our power or province to change it. The stern and firm hand of the law must be thrown around each citizen and that "gang rule" and "invisible empire" stuff must go the way of Prussian militaristic and autocratic frightfulness and Hunnish kultur and junkerdom. Since kidnapping, floggings and castrations have become the order of the day here, the colored race has tired of hearing this old "bull": "The good colored people have nothing to fear." A bigger and bolder lie was never uttered by his satanic majesty, and our people are not going to be deceived and beguiled by such insidious and informal propaganda and poppycock. Our people realize that the so-called "good colored people" (this term, "good colored people", is subject to divers and sundry interpretations and applications and is really a misnomer) have much to lose, for in the event of civil disorders, which are sure to come unless such atrocious crimes are banned and eradicated, both their property and person would be the first object of attack. We are face to face with a trying and ticklish situation and The Informer can only urge our people to provoke no disturbances, be manly and courageous and as for leaving Houston, let them do what they think best in the premises. To leave Houston or remain here and probably be the next victim of attack by a cowardly band of mobbists and anarchists, is a question that largely must be determined and decided upon by the individual.

Thus far no plans have been announced for the Emancipation Day celebration for 1921. Are we to have no fitting celebration at Emancipation Park on the nineteenth of June? What has or what will the colored board of directors do towards putting over a big program this year? Will they be content to see another occasion staged here that reflects very discreetly upon the race as the affair last year? Will a mass meeting be called soon to lay plans for a real gala day and becoming celebration? Without attempting to criticise the present colored board or casting any reflection upon those who managed the Juneteenth celebration last year, let's have a real celebration this year or let's have nothing at all.

BLACK GIANTS BUFFS WALLOP BEAT LOCALS GASSERS HERE 2 OUT OF THREE IN THREE GAMES For the Buffs Jackman pitched a wonderful game and deserved to win, but he was not the team's teammates refuse to register a tally of some sort. Really it was a pitcher's duel and the park served very advantageously to both slabmen. Besides the brilliant pitching the Bills Chas Williams scintillating catch of mighty clutch made by a Dallas hatmaker and two men retired. The smash was headed for the fence and the outfielder saw the pill was going to elude him, and ways into the air and came down with the ball safe in his mitt. The catch was at West End and the gardener was given a big hand by the fans, usued by Duel and Duel in another pitching duel, Duel the coping the contest 2 to 1, after the Buffs and led for fully advantageous runs. The hop taken by a ball hit to Shortstop Damage, who seems to be at terrible disadvantage, led for fully advantageous runs. The scoring, white California's triple and a wild heave to first by the Dallas third guard gave Housley a triple and a park served very advantageously to both slabmen. "With men on third and second and none out, the Buffs were unable to score and much abused a "squeeze play." An one Buff said, the squeeze play is all right when it is made. A wise general changes his methods of attack after the enemy once gets his foot on the ball, and wonderful opportunities are confronting the Buffs as those they failed to take advantage of in Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday the last game between the Buffs and Glanta occurred in a contest, in which both sides employed two burlers. Bell started, Dallas but he subsided he was sent hastily to the showers and another pitcher hurled buffs, the Buffs he pitched a fair game, he was unable to stop the Buffs' vicious attack and the game ended 9 to 6 in a tie. Evans started for Houston and pitched unbeatable, until his support took an unimpeded aim, unimpeded he forced in a run with the Buffs in Dallas batter in the ribs. "Buck" Alexander took up the task here and the Glanta gathered only one run off his Calloway's sensational fielding was the outstanding feature of the game, and it was a crowd crowd. Damage went back to third base and damage went back to short; the change showing the former up good and the latter bad, as Perry made several errors. Calloway's performance errors Both teams did some terrific clout Sunday the last game of the Gassers-Buffs series was played and again the game, after the visitors had led for several innings. Catcher Hines, who has won the sobriquet of "Babe Ruth" for his 350th game, apples for a home run and put the game on cold storage. The Gassers possess a powerful attack, but they are lacking on inside baseball, for our Buffs pulled off the same plays on them every day and the game was a request from the crushing the boys from the Pelican State. The Buffs starting off in the first inning like the Huns did in their last game, the Buffs ball was gellied to "get out from under" the fuselid of line drives and might elute. The large score the game was reeled off in pretty fast time, Empremire Empremire Taylor keeping the play in order and the attendance at all three games was very encouraging. Theumpire Empremire Empremire Taylor, the Des Moines Texas infield staff, was one of the features of the series. He is an indicator who knows his stuff and decides. The Buffs also injects into the games and thus the contests are reeled off in fast time and they are ready to play. BLACK PANTHERS ARE HERE SUNDAY Starting Sunday, May 15, the Fort Worth Black Panthers will take their first game in the season for the season and another red-hot series will be offered the fans of Houston.

IMPROVED UNiform INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) © 1911, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR MAY 15 WORKING WITH OTHERS LESSON TEXT - I Cor. 17:4-77 GOLDEN TEXT I - I - Cor 12.4.7: GOLDEN TEXT II - II - Cor 12.4.7: Christ and members of the I-Cor Christ and members of the I-Cor REFERENCE MATERIAL I - Kings I I-12, Neh. 3:1-2); 4:1-2 JUNIOR TOPIC - Helping One Another INTERMEDIATE AND DENIER TOPIC YOUNG PEOPLE AND AULT TOPIC Co-operation or Competition. This Scripture pictures the church the body of Christ, under the figure of the human body. The topic "Work themselves" can only have an application for the church, each other; for it is as members of the body of Christ that this relation ship and obligation are set forth. The church is merely an organization. As such it is I. One Body (vv. 12-20). As a body it has many members, each with a definite ministry or function. Many members are essential to the church. Each member has its own gift and office. The proof of this oneness is that by the sovereign act of the church, each member has its own body (v. 13), a multiplicity of organisms does not make a body; but a multiplicity of members with a room for jealousy or discernment among them (v. 15, 10). It would be as reasonable for the foot to complain about the foot, as for one member of a church to place the place of another. A deacon who is sick by the appointment of a minister does not a minister. The church needs its feet-men, that is, those who are swift to run on its errands; it needs its ear-men, that is, those who perceive opportunities for service; it needs its ear-men, who are quick to hear the call to duty; it needs its hand-men, that is, those who message of truth; it needs its hand-men to perform its many deeds of kindness. Each member of the church is faithful to do the work of a pastor the minister, the work of a minister the teacher, the work of a teacher II. The Mutual Dependence of the Members of the Body (v. 21), the life and service of the body. As the foot cannot dispense with the head, the eye with the hand, etc., so in the body cannot depend upon the eyes of those dependent upon the lower order. Self-conceit and pride are as much out of place on the part of the human body as the importance of a sober realization of this will do away with selfish pride. III. The Least Attractive Members Are the Most Necessary (vv. 22, 28), the human body more importance than the tongue. So in the church prayer is of much more importance than the gift of the tongue, more importance than be given of those who wrestled with God in the closest, doing more for the cause of Christ than those who chose forth most competently in the public service. Yet without them the tongue could not utter a sound. A member Have Bears adjusted by God (vv. 24, 25). So perfectly has this been done that if each performs its own function there will be harmony in the body. All members of the church to perform its duty be cause of envy of the position of an individual and obeying and obedient to him all stifle and division in the church will be elimination. V. Members are Sympathetically Related (vs. 25-27). One member should have the same care for the other as for itself. The other members should have the same solicitude for the included member as it has for itself; so the most eloquent has the same solicitude for the suffering of the other; so the most sorrow of the other; the property of the one is the suffering of the other; the honor of the one is the honor of the other; the property of the other is the property of the other; the shame and disgrace of the other. This is true because there is a common life which is derived from and is based on Jesus Christ (Ph. 5:23). Doing Things. God made us to do things, and there is no nicole like that which come from doing things worth while. A woman who is more nobile far more to be desired than money. Best happiness without the achievement of some aim is unthinkable. More Valuable than Gold. A good disposition is more valuable than gold; for the latter is the gift of wealth. The former is the gift of money—Addition. What Must I Do to Be Saved? BY REV. B. SUTCLIFFE Extension Department, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT- Believe on the Lo. Jesus Christ and thus shall be saved - A 1631. Our eternal destiny does not depend on what we do with certain things with a certain person and that Person is the Lord Jesus Christ A. H. H. Men continually try to find salvation by doing various things, they think they are sufficiently meritorious to bring them over. But after a man can do he finds that he has done all his work that by his own work he has not obtained what he sought. Do what he will be cannot find salvation until that by his own work that he must do to be saved?" (Acts 16:30). The answer today is the same as when this question was first asked, he finds that he will be saved from Christ and "Son shall be saved" (Acts 16:31). of condemnation renaissance from conviction of sin is the common heritage of all men. To find relief from this sense of condemnation man turns to various expediencies, he hears the word of God he finds written on the believer's behalf on the Son is not condemned." The assertion of a literal life comes over the same path, that of faith in Jesus Christ. It is not for the man who works but, "he that believes on the Son hath everlasting life." (Jno. A man can have splendid faith, but if the object of his faith be unworthy it is not worth his faith. He must in itself. For illustration: A man may place his money in a bank and by doing so prove his faith in his money, but the man loses his money. It is because the object of his faith was unworthy anything wrong with his faith. Again, a man may have good faith in his life, but he must entrust his life to that bout. But if it goes down at sea and the man loses his life, he must entrust his life to the right kind or that there was not enough of it, but simply because the object of his faith WOMEN OF TODAY Must have a beautiful skin.
