TRADE WEEK'S SUCCESS.
Leroy Byrd of the Byrd Sign Company, the only one of the large placements in the trade was that fostering and supporting the trade week. G. W. DeWait of the Lincoln Theatre boosted the week with big streamer, slides and 6 coupon with R. T. Andrew put on a special reduction on a line of well-known goods, with others employed various roles. We visited this occasion.
The manner in which the business co-operated in putting over the trade program is a healthy and organized co-operative in direct possibilities and potentialities; if we will only unite our teams and direct up and support any movement or undertaking that means for the race's advancement, bettlement and solidarity.
Let's have more Negro Trade Weeks and are long, having caught the spirit of the trade week and our week and our week and our business and profession all men will enjoy and share a greater
LOVELY LETTER CASE.
The head of this department is indeed grateful to Edgar B. McMullen of the Poe College, St. Louis, Mo, for a beautiful tan leather case recently presented us, as compliment of the executive institution.
This is one of the race's most substantial and enterprising business concerns and the departmental heads are very alert and always on the job with new and novel methods for the development and expansion of their business.

Colored Heavyweight Gives White Fighter Awful Glove Mauling
"Black Panther" of New Orleans Pounced Upon Pugilistic Prey in First Spasm With Terrific Body-Punches—Smith, Mighty Heavy, Floored Eight Times in Six Minutes—Firpo and "Battling" Siki Witnessed Fiasco—10,000 Fans Demand Dempsey Fight Wills.
(Preston News Service.)
Kalamazoo, Mich.-Knocked minutes of fighting, Homer Smer of the far west, proved a mute a bronze panther of New Orleans, paign to force Jack Dempsey to curled up before the most terrify a heavyweight fighter. Smith was knocked out in exa of fighting, in which the white whelmed that he never had a chin. In super condition and with the
Kalamazoo, Mich.—Knocked down eight, times in less than six minutes of fighting, Homer Smith, the slugger from this village of the far west, proved a mere stepping stone for Harry Wills, the bronze panther of New Orleans, last Thursday night, in his campaign to force Jack Dempsey into the ring with him, when he curled up before the most terrific body beating ever administered a heavyweight fighter.
Smith was knocked out in exactly five minutes and six seconds of fighting, in which the white fighter was so completely overwhelmed that he never had a chance to lay a glove on Wills. In super condition and with the Smith went down. Then came the acceleration of the former "narrator" and round.
characteristics of that famous "prince" of the forest from whom he devised his nackname, Wills proved more than a panther in action here Thursday night. He leaped from his corner with the ferocity of a tiger as the bell brought the battles to the middle of the ring. Unleashing all of the thunder in him for more than a year, and poor Homer Smith, realizing the vital force against him was pitted, simply went into his shell and stayed there.
In Wonderful Form.
Weighting 211 pounds, his real fighting weight, and with his muscles rippling under the bronze skin, Wills rocked the ring at the Queenensburg Stadium here, eager and restless. Said conference did not settle much. But when the first blow delivered in the fight, his mind was suddenly made. Wills had claimed, before the fight, that there was no man living who had lasted the distance of ten rounds with the Argentinian.
Wills' Body Blows.
Wills was in wonderful form and he turned a flipped of blows that folded up in the very first round. Without landing a blow to the head, Wills rocked his opponent with short, sceptical eyes and lasted 45 seconds of flipping him to the canvas for the count of nine, without having hit on the jaw. It was these murderous, terrific actions that the body doubled up him.
Those body blows were enough.
Each time that Wills drove in, a raw red bruise showed the spot where these powerful shocks had landed. Five times in the first round Wills, whose speed proved a revelation to those who watched him in action, complete the attack and landed those decisive, strength-asphalt punches. And each time he landed.
In Wonderful Form.
Wills' Body Blows.

five minutes and six seconds fighter was so completely overance to lay a glove on Wills. Smith went down. Then came the sec and round.
The Knockout Punch.
The first blow of the bout, launted by Wills, had been a terrific right under the heart, and Smith (hearing the birds), decided that his tough bite was up against the that it could cause. He still groggy from the effects of the body punishment he had received in the first round and with nothing to carry him forth but the idea that Wills might let up, Smith advanced, once more, to the slaughter. For Wills, Smith as soon as he could catch him, clouched him a couple of blows and down he went. Rising at the count of nine, with arms hanging limply to his elbow, he attempted to rush into a clutch, but then again short arm-jetting, he again went down. Once more he rose, tottering, and Wills, with delicateness, intent shot the haymaker, spelling K. O. Smith simply collapsed for the last time. As he was helped to his corner he was cared for the birds, that bore the imprint of Wills gloves.
10,000 Acclaim Willa Winner
As Wills leaped from the ring, accompanied by his manager, Paddy Millen, the plunders of the 10,000 fans, ran through the crowd, and this battle of giants, joined in giving Wills a nightly acclaim. As they arose and throughout the dun could be heard the calls of "Bring on Jack". There was not a fan in the place but who knew that Wills was the logical choice for the replay of Inzo in action against Smith. They had seen Smith step the gate, who, with Batting Sirt and others, was an onlooker at the ringside, shook their heads as they witnessed Wills.

In a financial drive, which closed last Sunday, the Trinity M. E. Church, Dr. K. O. Woolfson, pastor reported $725 laid on the table by the drive leaders, and the pastor expects the amount to exceed the $1000 mark when final reports are made.

Washington, D. C.—President Coolidge seems to find not only the time, but any words, bourled with an emphatic disposition to tender aid and comfort to each problem which comes to him for consideration. Turning temporarily from the farq question to which he is giving his energies and thoughtfulness, and which must necessarily affect, among American farmers, nearly one million farms of more than one billion dollars valuation, operated by colored farmers, the busy executive paused to receive an official call from the recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, the Hon. J. D. H. V. V. of NRW, and the U.S. Department of Labor, of the more of business in concerned. Of course, the nature of the official conference between the president and Recorder Free has not been divulged, but it is safe to believe that when the conference was closed, national, racial and local interests had been given their equitable measure of consideration, in keeping with the policies and traditions of the republican party.

Good Will Program In Volunteer State Makes Real Progress
Coldline seems to find not only placed with an emphatic disposition, but also the fact that the problem which comes to him is that of the farm question, especially from the fact that American farmers, nearly one million dollars' valuation, operated by active paused to receive an official of the District of Columbia, the region, who, since his call to the use of business in government, at the recorder deeds is concerned. Of course, the public is not likely to believe undi成, but it is safe to believe closed national, racial and local in-suitable measure of consideration, to the public.
Before the law permits all citizens, regardless of race, to dwell together in happiness and contentment. In civil life, in industry, in educational life and in the social order, colored people are solving their problems, aided by the means of the democratic party, in representative at a political party, who, by friendly office and legislative act, seek to help them. We take unconcealed pleasure in presenting the contrast of the development of the colored race in West Virginia with the advancement of colored citizens in the state where the democratic party, control has disfranchised Negro voters, where it has denied to colored citizens inelliable rights, and where that party has continually sought to harass and humiliate these citizens.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, OCT. 20, 1923.
The question as to what the science of mathematics shall be said to be has been discussed by philosophers and mathematicsians for some 2000 years, but as yet a generally approved definition has not been formulated. A common definition, but one held inadequate, is that mathematics is the science of finding out how many and how much, or the science of measurement.
Wigs Have Long Been Worn.
The custom of wearing wigs is of great antiquity. If, as seems probable, the curious lead covering of the figure in a prehistoric ivory carving is a wig, the adornment may be traced back 10,000 years. Certainly the Egyptians wore wigs as part of the royal or official costume. The Greeks, too, were addicted to the vanity.
Uncomfortable Shaving Process.
Razors are not allowed in the Wiltshire county asylum at Devizes, England, and those who desire to be shaved have to use pumice stone, according to report of the commissioner under the board of control. Safety razors have been recommended.

CHICAGO'S COLORED JUDICIAL CANDIDATE.
CHICAGO'S COLORED JUDICIAL CANDIDATE.
Last week's Informer carried a news item concerning the judicial ticket of Cook County, of which Chicago is the principal part, having a colored citizen for one of the elective positions as judge for the superior court of that county.
This distinguished colored citizen is the Honorable Edward H Morris, one of the most eminent lawyers of the country and national grand master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America.
Not only is Mr. Morris conceded to be possessed of judicial calibre and temperament, but he is one of the Windy City's most substantial citizens and his elevation to the bench would be a deserving tribute to a worthy citizen and able barrister.
This is the first time in Chicago's history that a colored man has been nominated for a position on the judicial ticket of any party and political wivescapes see in Morris' nomination a clever political stroke by the republicans of Chicago and Cook County.
It will be borne in mind that colored voters in Chicago are becoming more independent in their votes (somewhat like their racial brothers in New York City, where colored electors vote for measures rather than men and principles rather than parties) and as a result the publican candidate for mayor went down in inglorious defeat in the spring mayoralty election before his democratic opponent.
The so-called "black belt" of the Windy City, in the spring election, forsook the "grand old party" (called "greedy old pirate" by some) and supported Mayor Dever in preference to Candidate Lueder, Chicago postmaster.
In according to the request of the colored delegation of leading citizens and political leaders for a colored man on the judicial ticket, the republican slate makers of Cook County, apparently, had not forgotten the defection of the colored brother from the G. O. P. during last city election.
But aside from its political significance and ramifications, the fact remains that the color of the skin should play no part in the selection and elevation of men to positions of trust, authority and power.
The only determining factors should be character, ability and peculiar fitness for the office. Other things should not enter in—not in a democratic republic such as ours—for they are incessant and of relatively no importance; at least, they should be.
If there is one failing and weak point in our present elective system, it is the act and practice of men voting their popular prejudices instead of their sober judgment.
As a usual thing, the man who can arouse more prejudice and fan the fires of hatred and animosity more, stands the best chance of being freed and elected to some office that he is inherently and fundamentally unfit and disqualified he occupy.
Such officers and officials as these have brought shame and disrepute upon the offices they hold and are largely responsible for the present reign of lawlessness and disrespect for constituted authority, supervised by moral cowardice, so prevalent in this country.
We should aspire for public offices just like other races and in due season, if we faint not, we shall arrive and when we arrive, verily we are going to remain.
Some of our people have been taught that it is both crime, treason, sedition, espionage and grand larceny, as well as first degree murder, for a colored man to announce himself as a candidate for some elective position; and, when some colored brother becomes
THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, OCT. 28, 1923
bold enough to aspire for such an office, his own people take cold renounce his candidacy, denounce the candidate and refuse to go to the polls on election day and cast a ballot for said aspirant.
Of course, this does not obtain in Chicago and Cook County where colored citizens have long since discovered the potency of the ballot and never refuse to employ it where they have every reason to believe that it will mean much to their group and the social fabric.
The Informer would like to see Mr. Morris becomes Judge Morris, and, if the citizens of Chicago and Cook County will not vote their popular prejudices, but support and vote for the candidates on their merits and fitness, this colored candidate will stand an excellent chance of being returned winner on election day.
The black man gets a recognition and consideration from the "powers that be" in Chicago, because the dark-skinned brother, a political factor that must be reckoned with; which should cause colored citizens, even in the South, to labor for the acquisition and retention of their suffrage rights—for the voteless man is voiceless—and the voiceless man is helpless and the helpless man is at the mercy of his oppressors—between Scylla and Charybdis.
Here's honoring Mister Morris becomes Judge Morris! Selah!
WHAT SMALL THINGS CAN ACCOMPLISH
Did you notice that large amount of space the colored business and professional men of the Houston Colored Commercial Club employed in last week's Informer?
Well, if you did not, then there is something radically wrong with you, or your eyesight is faulty; for it is the first time in the history of the race in Houston, if not in Texas, that such a gigantic business program has even been attempted, to say nothing of being put over as the Negro Trade Week was placed before the public in the present campaign.
But what made its peculiar impression upon us was the manner in which this advertising program was engineered and operated on such a co-operative plan that the cost to each employer of space was virtually nominal.
With a small outlay of cash, the several advertisers who boosted this Negro Trade Week showed the power of co-operation and coordination of forces and demonstrated what can be accomplished if we all put our small mites together and work to one given end.
When their bills were submitted to them by the business agent of the organization for space in The Informer and other advertising matter the club had printed for boosting this special week, some of the advertisers were dumbfounded and forthwith inquired how the organization could afford to do so much with such a small charge for space, etc.
When it was shown them that this was only possible through the co-operation and support of the business and professional men sponsoring the trade week, they readily saw the advantages and benefits of concerted action and team-work.
If we would only learn the lesson of co-operation and group action in our every-day relations and business intercourse with each other, we would soon reach new heights in the commercial and business realm and prove to the world that we can really "cut it." In this day of fierce, keen and bitter competition, successful races and men have ceased the individualistic efforts and have long since adopted the policy and program of co-operation and concerted action; with the results that we have big companies and corporations that make it miserable for the small business man. In all lines of human endeavor men are forming combines and uniting their forces and subordinating their individual wills and opinions for the best interests of the whole and their progress and accumulators, in numerous instances, are staggering and stumped.
The members of the Houston Colored Commercial Club, who joined forces and contributed of their means to boost and make successful one of first Negro Trade Week, have shown the way and the shadow of a reasonable doubt or conjecture what small things can accomplish.
It is not a matter of how much but how well, that counts; for the race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but to him that holdout out (endureth) to the end.
No man nor race should despise the day of small or little things, for there must be a beginning. The mighty oak springs from the little acorn and the mustard plant grows from a tiny seed.
The fable of the old man with 7 sons, who took 7 sticks and gave them a practical demonstration of concerted action versus individualistic effort, is worthy of our consideration; for it teaches a great lesson and one that we need to learn and put into execution both in our every-day and commercial life.
One race man expressed it very wisely last Saturday, when he exclaimed, "O, what a power we could be, if we would only learn and practice the lesson of co-operation and teamwork, as evidenced in the campaign for sponsoring and promoting this Negro Trade Week!"
The colored business and professional men of Houston have made a nice start in the right direction, but if they stop with this effort all their energies and contributions will go for naught and they will have fed pearls to swine.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS IN TEXAS
The various institutions of learning throughout the country, and especially those for colored youths in the South, report large enrolments and many of them are crowded to capacity with students eager for knowledge and striving to prepare themselves for a life's work of service and benefaction.
In Texas our schools and colleges are already crowded, in the main, and the several heads of the Lone Star institutions of learning are practically unanimous in their opinion that this bids fair to be the greatest year in the schools' history.
Let us make a few comparisons with a view of showing the progress and advancement our race has made in Texas in educational circles.
Dr. M. W. Dogan, president of Wiley College, Marshall, Texas, states that when he came to Wiley 27 years ago, out of an enrollment of 386, 350 of that number were classified in the grammar department.
The enrollment at this school for the 1923-24 session is around the 500 mark at present and less than 50 of these are in the gram-
mar department, and this department is only maintained now to serve as a clinic for those who are preparing themselves to take up the normal and college preparatory courses.
At Bishop College, Prof. C. H. Maxson, president, also at Marshall, a similar situation obtains; for 20 years ago fully 75 per cent of all the students were in the grammar grades, but today this college maintains no grammar department and its enrollment is the best in the history of the school at this time of the year.
The same condition exists at virtually all of our Texas institutions of higher learning and this augurs much for the future of our race along educational lines.
And yet there are any number of children who should and could be in school drinking at the fountain of knowledge, who are growing up in dense ignorance and wasting their lives on the desert air, as it were.
Ignorance is the greatest ally crime has and to be ignorant in this day and time is a sin and crime unto high heaven.
Statistics disclose the fact that very few criminals are educated people, but a distinction must be drawn here between educated people and book-laden people.
To merely become well versed in the languages, be a genius in mathematics and the sciences, employ flawless English and to be able to write a lengthy treatise on important and unimportant subjects, are not true indications of education; but that man or woman is best educated who renders the best service to humanity.
Knowledge acquired is good, but knowledge applied is better.
People are not so much concerned in what one knows as in what one does for the good of all.
We once read of a man roaming the streets of an American city who could speak seven different languages fluently, yet he was begging bread and had no place to lay his head.
Education prepares and enables a man (generically speaking) to adjust himself to any and all situations, and, if no place is made for him, he makes his place—makes his own sunshine and then stands in it.
There is not another Southern state that can boast of greater educational progress than Texas, both in the public schools and private institutions of learning; and the fact that so many of her bronze sons and daughters are taking advantage of these wonderful opportunities, speaks well for our race and refutes the argument advanced by our enemies, that colored people are satisfied with their present, ignorant status and illiteracy.
It also demonstrates the fact that our race has reached or is reaching the place in its racial career where we are beginning to practice more and more the doctrine of self-help; for he that would rise must himself first make the effort.
PERISCOPE
(Bill Wyliam Pickens for A. N. P.)
"ONE-HUNDRED-PERCENTIMENT" IN THE NORTH.
In the North, East and West, Mr. Colored Man, they are not coming after you (yes) with tread and feathers or whip and rope. They are coming before you and come and get away with it—after your job, after your child's seat in the unsegregated school, after your half equal accommodations in public places after your elective or appointment of a teacher. The status lowered in these ways, then the tar and feathers, the rope and the convenient limb will be not only probable but inevitable. It is a only degraded people that can be so treated, and the people that can be so treated and instinctively be deprived.
O, they will not think this all out. Some of them, most of them, have not got that much power of thought. Some few of them will even think and protest honestly that they do not intend any such thing. But this is the natural and instinctive procession of acts and events on the road to utter oppression. These things lead in one direction. The one oppression, if "got away with," becomes the reason and the inspiration for the next, each step in oppression makes the next step necessary. Even those members of the oppressing group, who may be opposed to the first step, will become advocated of the second, because the first will have changed both the conditions and their psychology in the matter. Some of them who were opposed to school segregation at all at first will be in favor of high school and college segregation after the gram-mar schools are all fully segregated. The whites who are at present opposed to Jim Crow cars will be in favor of it or tolerant to the idea, after every other public privilege has Jim Crow.
This “one hundred per cent” nuisance and Ku Klux menace is working designed at the outside of Oklahoma, Texas, and others of its strong holds. It must have a period of “mining and sapping” in the more civilized parts of the country.
After this work is thoroughly done—and it won't be long, if it is not vigorously opposed and checked—the next step will be open defiance to the right of "those who are 'alien' to the invisible power."
Here in an Indiana city, this bastard breed of "Americanism" is raising sand because a German painter, who is now an American citizen, perhaps, has won the contract to paint a public building. They say: "Of course the war is over, but—," and then they proceed to show that it is not over. If they would starve the Tenton descendant, they would starve the descendants of Africa. As it is, the Germans whom the brown boys shot at in 1918, and happened to miss, can come over now and have much more freedom anywhere in Indiana than those Brown boys can have.
Do not fool yourself, Mr. Colored Man: Ku-Kinhin has you at the very hot line of its scheme of things. Ask them to take "white supremacy" off their list, and always
"YES, WE HAVE NO PITCHERS!"
The utter collapse of the pitching ace of the New York Giants, Artie Nehf, in the sixth game of the recent world's series, and his inability to locate the plate in that fatal and fateful eighth inning, caused Manager John McGraw of the Giants to paraphrase the late song hit, "Yes, We Have No Pitchers!"
For once the dopesters spun out the right dope on the outcome of the series; for lack of pitching caused the downfall and defeat of the McGraw clan, while Miller Huggins' Yankees had plenty of good pitchers and big bats.
But there is a serious and philosophical side to the Giants' fall, Nehf's failure at the wrong moment and the Yankees' rise and victory.
It is the law of fate, yes of nature, that the hero of yesterday becomes the goat of tomorrow.
Nehf had only allowed two hits up to the eighth frame, when suddenly he blew up and could not locate the plate.
With victory almost in his grasp, he faltered and having faltered, failed and left the mound with tears in his eyes.
No man nor team can hope to hold the championship in any line of sport forever, and the Giants were no exception to the general rule.
Neh's collapse should serve as a warning; as men should be extremely careful, for when they almost be standed, they are in imminent danger of falling. Finally, brethren, the game is not to the hurrier that can throw the most buffling curves in the early rounds of the content, neither is the race to the swift nor battle to the strong, but to a man that can go the full route and hold out to the end. ("So mote it be!")

KLAN BANQUET FOR PICKENS RANK FAILURE
KLAN BANQUET FOR PICKENS RANK FAILURE
Terre Hante, Ind.—The Terre Hante correspondent is not the "calling names" of this town, when he heard that William Pickens, field secretary of the A. N. P. and contributing editor of the A. N. P. to a mixed audience down town, told him that he would like the klan and actually rigged the scheme to buy him off or soften it. This is how: The K. K. K. is to have furnished a big book to certain usable Negroes in the town to take the banquet to take place before the meeting. At this banquet there will be colored and uncolored representatives and banquet to take place among the republican leaders who are kluxes. This combination was supposed to be the result of the main republican leaders who are kluxes. This alarm came from the fact that the field secretary was to speak, was donated for the occasion by the anti-racist field secretary was to speak, was wanted to contend this by slipping something over to the dean gently. It was learned that telegrams and letters were not allowed to be sent both sides, and while the contents of these could not be learned, it was to be noted.

The main thing an advertiser wants to do is to tell you plainly how and why his goods are worthy of your money. He wants you to believe, because many things you see advertised are the things you buy and use in your regular daily life. By reading the advertisements, you can learn the names and read descriptions of the things that are best and most unfamiliar.
But advertising teaches more than that. All advertisers try to make their advertisements themselves valuable to you.
A good many people have learned a whole lot absof, good advice. They have learned about healthy, ways to live comfortably, how to keep the home and ground looking well—they have learned all these things and many other things just by reading advertisements.
Read the advertisements right along, and you will learn a lot that will be helpful and valuable to you as you go through life.

ISRAEL IN THE MIDST OF THE NATIONS
LESSON TEXT: Josh. 1:14- I:2. 14:1
i:2. 19:13, I:2. 19:16, Eskak. 1:14
We meet on me and
he ye saved, all the ends of the earth.
PRIMARY: TOPIO - The Beautiful
Sea
JUNIOR TOPIC—The Land God Chose for His People.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Israel in the Mid of the Nations.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Strategic Position of Palestine.
1. Israel's Geographical Position (Josh. 1:1-4, cf. Ezek. 5:6).
Israel, God's chosen and most favored nation, the nation to whom He came nearest and gave most in order that it might pass on His goodness to the other nations of the world, was given a most strategic position in the earth. "Palestine was adapted as no other country for God's great purpose of preparing a pure religion and sending it to all the world. To this end a single nation was selected, trained and placed in the center of the world, so that when the time came to publish the true religion all lands could be reached. Palestine was central and isolated, yet accessible, for when the time came for the apostles to go from Palestine by the Mediterranean sea to the lands round about it, and from there to other lands, their way was open."
Their Leader (Josh. 1:1). Joshua was Moses' assistant. He led the relationship to victory over the Amalekites soon after their escape from Egypt. He was with Moses in the Mounting the law was given. He was one of the spies sent into the land of Caanan. When Moses knew that his time of departure was nigh he appointed Joshua his successor.
2. Condition of the Possession of the Land (v. 3). The land was the thes by land of the Land (v. 3). Only as their feet advanced to take possession of it. Because of their lack of faith, courage and obedience they took possession of it. Christians today lack the riches of the Heavenly Father's blessings because of their want of faith and courteousness. 3. Its Boundaries (v. 4). On the north it was bounded by the rugged coast of the great and terrible desert, a barren region through which the colliery was located. Years; and on the west by the Mediterranean sea. It included all of the islands, and on the west by the Mediterranean sea. It included them preempted from possessing fully this land. 4. The Spiritual and National Position (iac. 2:12; 2:23-25). This picture the place of influence which shall be exercised by Israel in a future time. 5. Should Be v. 2)—in the last days." By "last days" is usually meant in Scripture the times of the primary subject of all prophecy.
2. What It Shall Be (v. 2). The restoration of the kingdom of Judah to the place of pre-emphime among the nations of the world. "Mountain" in Scripture symbolizes kingdom (see Dan. 2:35; Rev. 18:1, 17-9-11). This vision of Zion's glory refers to the millennial age, at which time other nations of the world will learn of the true God through the chosen nation.
3. The Result of (vv. 2-4). The return of God's favor to this chosen people shall be "life from the dead." To the nations of the earth (Rom. 11:15). (1) Nations shall flow unto it (v. 2). This pictures the masses of the people moving toward Jerusalem like streams from all parts of the earth. (2) Nations encouraging each other (v. 3). All jealousies are now taken from nations, and with good will to each other they are moving to Jerusalem, the world's capital. They are going there to be taught of God the right way to walk. The go to be structured out of His holy Word. There is but one way to peace in the world, that is back to God through His holy Scriptures. (3) Peace in the earth (v. 4). When Israel shall be in her God-appointed place with Jesus Christ as king, then war will be over. The implements of war will then be destroyed. (4) Friendly communication (18:19-23-25). As soon as wickedness is taken from men's hearts they will establish means of friendly communication.
Good Tidinga.
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings—Iss. 52.7.
Holy Scripture.
Holy Scripture is a stream of running water, where alike the elephant walks with the lion walks without loosing its feet—Gregory the Great.
Cultivated Countries
Countries are well cultivated, not as they are fertile, but as they are free—Montsqueyen.
Worship.
Be not so biogot to any custom as to be worship it at the expense of truth.

A big, timely and believable story for the critical. A riot of romance and red-blooded action for the lover of thrills. If you've complained that you could not become interested in the stories you've seen depicted on the screen because you found them either shallow or unbelievable, by all means see unlikable stories. You can understand and believable story, clearly, forcefully. It will hold your interest as your interest has never bee neld before. It's big in theme; amazing and powerful in its grip; wonderful in its characterizations; tremendous in entertainment.
