Desa of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (C. 1912, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for November 29 PAUL BEFORE AGRIPPA LESSON TEXT—Ace 21:1-26:28 GOLDEN TEXT—T was not able to the heavens vision—T was 21:18. PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul Tala Wha JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul Tala a King JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul Tala a King 1. Paul Before the King (25:18-27). The occasion of his appearing before King was the occasion of Bernice to Teutus. Upon their arrival they expressed a desire to hear Paul, whereupon Teutus told them of his perseverance before the king, and he brought before them for examination. The gospel should be preached to all regardless of wealth or station (25:19-27). 2. Introduction (v. 3, 8). He expressed his delight that he now could speak and tell his case to one who was able to follow his line of argument, for Agrigus was an expert witness. The king was most of all he was now happy in wishing to him of the SAVior, and leading him into the light of God. 3. His Manner of Life (v. 4, 12). He showed had been his own account set against the rift sect of Jesus. He possessed the same hope, i. e. that of a coming Deliverer, and that of a man who was most bitterly opposed to Christ as his望世 would prove. 4. His Supernatural Conversion (v. 15, 18). Jesus Christ appeared to him on the way to Damascus and revealed himself to him. He Christ Commissioned Him for His Work (v. 16, 18). 1) To open their eyes as an easily blinded. 2) To perform the blessed work of turning them from darkness to light. 3) To turn them from the power of satan unto God. 4) That they might receive forgiveness of sin. 5) And that they might obtain an innate understanding. 6. His Compassion (v. 19-28). As soon as he received his commission, he obeyed. Every man should hold his own in the war, devote his life to carrying forward the work entrusted to him. The right to enter into the war into conflict with the Jews, for which they sought to kill him. 7. The Interruption by Jesus (v. 24). Receiving how thoroughly in earnest Paul was, Jesus attempted to account for it. He tried to divert it to the ravings of an unblessed mind. 8. Paul's Appeal to Agrippa (v. 25-27). Still maintaining his courage, he appealed to Jesus for the work of Jesus and of the propheta, for they have an insult connection. 9. Agrippa Aims Almost Persecute (v. 28). Whether Agrippa's answer was a contemptuous sneeer or not, it quite evident that his soul was wrought with anguish. He was not the man but him was unwilling to yield. Sad, indeed, that a man should be so near to eternal life, and yet lost! Paul I was heart-longed that Agrippa and all conceived might accept Christ and be saved.

New Orleans, La., Nov. 25.—Just when the civic pride of the colored people of this city was being aroused over the inauguration of the new ferry service between the city proper and the Algiers suburb, which began Sunday when two fine commodious double-deck ferries were placed in service, their enthusiasm was killed when the first passengers stepped on the boats to find that someone had decided that the boats should have segregated portions for the white and colored passengers. The ferry boats cross the Mississippi river, running from the foot of Canal Street. Since time immemorial no jim-crow policy has obtained on the boats and the colored passengers were hurt and attacked to find this new segregation. As proof that the land response is not only wished to make sure that segregation was inaugurated by the boats and now they find that their own was made in marking the inquestors. On and set the sign read, "White Wives." On the New Orleans side of the boat, the sign read, "White Men." On the other the prejudice of the auxiliary of the scheme is seen in the signs for they read, "Won-Coral Men" and without interfering with the movement of the boat, double-deck ferries.

For the last three years The Informer suggested the chest trustees and directors organize soliciting teams among the colored citizens of Houston and delegate them to solicit subscriptions from our people for the chest. One of the 1925 divisional commanders, Chief of Police Tom C. Godson, also concurred with The Informer's opinion, and asked the trustees to organize colored citizens into a distressed and desperate rate group or unit, with their own general chairman, captains and team members; same to be a part of his division and to report daily to him. A conference was held with some of the leading spirits, white and colored, in the local inter-racial movement, and a call was issued to the trustees of colored citizens at the assembly room of the Chamber of Commerce. At this meeting it was definitely decided to organize the colored citizens into a working unit for the chest drive, and the pledges procured by the race captains and teams and the enthusiasm of the trustees in placing our racial group in a different light before the white citizens in the community. Hereforeo the people were solicited by white workers and no record was kept of the colored subscribers as such (only in a few instances among industrial plants and business houses) with the result that some of the race's white friends contended that our contribution very little, if anything, to the annual chest drives. Because of the peculiar situation in which our race is placed in the South, Houston not excepted. The Informer has held to the opinion that our people ought to be given an opportunity to show their strength and courage. The occasion should be afforded them to manifest the race's material and spiritual interest in this annual humanitarian effort. In the recent drive, the first to be conducted here by colored women among their own people, our people justified the fault. The women had reposed in them and came through with their colors flying. Welded overnight into a compact and well-functioning organization, composed of some of the best men and women in the city, they worked division worked like a smooth and well-oiled machine, with well-defined feet co-ordination, and evinced a spirit in their work that beggars description, despite two days of inclement weather and muddy streets. Community Chest represents the biggest and most stupendous single undertaking projected by the citizens of this municipality, and the part our people played in the drive last week and The Houston Informer the excellent showing made for and by our group, surpassed the most sanguine expectations of chest directors and colored leaders in the movement. We did not dismiss from consideration the fact that its editor directed and led the colored forces, wishes to congratulate and commend the colored workers and colored citizens for their whole-hearted, unstinted and liberal support and their great generosity in said chest drive. Our subscriptions to the 1926 chest fund by the colored citizens of America amounted all previous records pledged to such efforts in any other city in America by our group, as far as the Informer has been able to ascertain; and refutes the arguments often advanced that our people will not respect and respond to leadership, will not co-operate and work in harness with other people, and will not directly and vitally concern and affect us as a people, collectively. With this fine start towards racial solidarity and group action, let us not lose ground and revert to our former centrifugal status; but having seen and participated in a practical demonstration of our collective effort and having secured for our race a higher appraisal by our collective efforts in the chest campaign, let us pursue such a centripetal policy in the future in matters purely racial and a new day will appear on the horizon for the colored citizens of this Folks, if you are "from Missouri," try it and watch results. Selah! RIVER OAKS BUS LINE AND NEGRO PASSENGERS! The Houston Electric Company has established an express or limited bus line from the downtown district to River Oaks Estate, Houston's most artistocratic residential section on the western outskirts of the city, and THIS LOCAL TRACTION COMPANY HAS MADE PROVISIONS IN THESE SPECIAL BUSSES FOR COLORED PASSENGERS. Corporations, like individuals and races, can perform some funny tricks and cut some peculiar capers; for this same traction company has steadfastly and stubbornly refused to provide accommodations for colored passengers on the other purely city bus lines. One of the officials of the Houston Electric Company has even gone so far as to withdraw all advertising from The Informer, because this paper had the nerve and backbone to call down the traction company officials for their high-handed and autocratic attitude towards the thousands of colored patrons of the traction system, in denying these colored citizens passage in these "pretty little buses." This paper has contended all along that these buses are, to all intents and purposes, common carriers, and that to deny any of them the right to ride on the municipal and state statutes covering equal accommodations for both races on the common carriers operating in Texas. However, it seems that logic failed to do in this case, "long green" accomplished; for when the wealthy white people in this new exclusive residential district (River Oak) saw that their colored help were experiencing trouble and were at a great distance from work out there, they petitioned the city council to grant the Houston Electric Company, owners and operators of these "for whites only" buses on other city lines, the right to run a special bus lines to their section, and saw to it that provisions were made in these River Oak buses for colored passengers. THE RIVER OAK BUSSERS CAN RIDE ON THE RIVER OAK BUSSERS, WHY CAN NOT THEY RIDE ON OTHER BUSSERS OPERATED BY THIS SAME TRACTION COMPANY? WHAT RIGHT HAS THE HOUSTON ELECTRIC COMPANY TO SAY THAT PASSENGERS OF CERTAIN RACIAL AFFILIATIONS CAN ONLY RIDE ON CERTAIN BUS LINES? HAVE THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE AND THE CITY COUNCIL OF HOUSTON CONFERRED SPECIAL PRIVILEGES UPON THE LOCAL TRACTION COMPANY IN THIS RESPECT? If the presence of colored passengers on the other bus lines is objectionable to passengers of other races and places said passengers in constant danger of being contaminated by getting in too close touch with colored passengers, we wonder what will prevent them from being on the bus lines. Money not only makes the mourn run and the monkey dance, but money interests can even change the policy and practice of big corporations like the Houston Electric Company; if we are to judge by their change of attitude and front by allowing colored passengers to ride in these "pretty little buses," now being opposed to the high-districtown district to this high-class residential section in the west end. Suppose some colored maid or nurse should accompany her white employer from River Oaks in one of these buses and her employer wanted to transfer to another bus line, along with her colored maid from River Oaks, to the local traction company would do in such a trying situation! Would the bus operator permit the white employer to enter the bus to which she had transferred, and yet deny her colored maid or nurse the right to enter, even though said colored maid or nurse simply forgot the "tacit agreement between the city official and traction company heads" and permit the colored employee to enter the bus? Person or concern that tries to enter to and palliate with prejudice is merely inviting trouble; for he who tries to rob Peter to pay Paul, will are long be found owing all. IF COLORED CITIZENS OF HOUSTON ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO RIDE AS PASSENGERS ON THE RIVER OAKS BUSSES, THE INFORMER CONTENDS THAT THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO RIDE IN ALL THESE BUSSES; AND IF THEY ARE NOT FIT TO RIDE IN THE OTHER BUS LINES, THEY ARE NOT FIT TO RIDE IN THE RIVER OAKS BUSSES! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS HALF-WAY GROUND BETWEEN RIGHT AND Wrong; FAIRNESS AND UNFairNESS; JUSTICE AND INJUSTICE! The Informer shall continue its contentation along this line until it is satisfied that no advertising from the local traction company can swerve this position. The editorial columns of the Houston Informer are not for sale! COLORED WORKERS IN CHEST EFFORT GIVEN DUE CREDIT In the recent Community Chest drive conducted in this city, the colored workers and citizens responded very well and generously and nearly $1,000 was donated to charity for 1928 by the colored population. C. P. Richard, editor-publisher of the Tennessee informer, who was general manager of the organization, which was a part of the division commanded by Chief of Police Tom G. Jones, issued the following statement: "Being overheard by the spendid and most extraordinary manner in the Community Chest effort, I am indeed indebted to all the captains, workers and members of the community played in helping our unit to make "When it was definitely decided by chest directors and trustees to organize a community members of our race, the white workers had been selected and the preliminary round $20,000 in pledges from industrial plants, business houses and "Despite this handicap our people entered into the work with saintsmanagers," the team spoke for themselves in a. claxton.

The team worked and team work manifested, colored Houstonians now occupy a different space in the city. "As general chairman of the colored forces, I take this occasion to express my deepest respect to the men worked in and aided the cause; also to Chief of Police Tom C. Goodson, the police commissioner, and police secretary, for their wonderful co-operation at all times during the war. Walt R. L. Andrews, Rev. S. W. John Gruder, deserve special mention for the wonderful results achieved by the officers. In this connection we wish to thank the following newspapers for the free space devoted to our effort: Houston Texan Texas Preemium and The Houston Information. Asim, I wish to thank all you good people for whatever part large or small, you played in the chest drive. Co-operation will be accorded the man selected next year to direct the war effort." NEW MOUNT PILGRIM Rev. W. H. Rhodes, Pastor Master Claudie Gray was with us in the classroom, where he made the application on the lesson. We certainly enjoyed the manner in which he made the applite, and the elective superintendent for the next 12 weeks. We continued the lesson, continually. Bro. Nelson has served in this capacity for the past 16 years, and he has loved him and his wife. They have given over great programs for the Master. H W. M.

We often call the link-apult, biply crowing Negroes "Uncle Tom" Negroes. This is a curious mistake, and the mistake was first called to our attention by P. L. Pratt, the penetrating editor of "Heeble Jeeble in the Dark." The author, Cahin, "absurd," is one of the noblest characters in all literature. Cowards and gyrophants ought to be classified by a less worthy phloeogenist in all literature that approaches the spiritual nobility of the Uncle Tom "Tom." The Bible heroes described in the story of Job. The original Uncle Tom "was" a traitor, a maître to the weaker or less advantaged members of his race. He was a traitor in defense of an unfortunate woman of his group, giving his life to the enemy. He allowed himself to be beaten on death rather than that this woman was. And cleaner than he who gives OPINIONS INFORMOGRAMS "Let us give thanks for the Lord for He is good; for His mercy an endureth forever." Time moves on and the nation has grown. "We have our national Thanksgiving Day. Of all Americans, some would claim that the Nigroe have less for which to give thanks than any other group of men and women. For ever, 1925 has given rise to many things which would have discouraged any other group of men and women on the face of the harsh but we should have been able to face the race has yet to prove a traitor to his country, or to be successfully linked up with any movement having for its object the overthrow of democratic principles. Let us all give thanks!" The charge is being made by some of the leading white dailies of the country that a movement is in foot to spread communism among the white population of the world. It is alleged that the American Negro Congress, recently held at Chicago, was a plot of "Red" Russia to convert the American Negro workingman to bolshavkin. Among them were William Z. Foster, the foremost communist in America; William Montgomery-Brown, a deposed Episcopal blabber; and the organizer of the Negro National Congress, a Negro, who, the paper declare, is known as the "redded Red of his country." The face of all that the Negro of America has stood has no meaning in the country and we see no reason to become unduly alarmed over the prosecution during the late war, could not sweep the Negro from the path of what he now lives in the country, with evidence of discrimination, hatred and segregation in the country, with evidence of discrimination,—if the Negro put "gast" that, we have no reason to make much heedward with our group. Our hat is off to the colored people of Houston — for the wonderful show, Chest drive. Every person connected with the organization deserves the honor. We are grateful to the Chirrman Richardson down to the humblest citizen who gave her "wild owl" mike. This effort demonstrated the fact that some humanitarian ideals are as powerful as men of other races, and that money for a worthy cause. With more time for organizing our forces, we were able to clear the court room of women spectators so that letters unwritten for the dead women might be read to the court. The courtroom was purported to be written by Kip Rikhlander, the wealthy New Yorker, and present duky brite. Mr. Alice Jones Rikhlander, whose husband, Kip Rikhlander, is seeking an annuity of marriage on the basis she was undressed herself before she was known, showed them that Kip knew all the time. The report filled in the gaps he had to call in eye specialist. From recent events which have hap pened in lightning rigidity, it seems that he has got somebody in a bad hole, or that somebody high in state affairs has got somebody in a beess," and old Texas is in for a big anecdal. O, you Tuscan? As we write this the noted Sweet Trinity and Dearl is still in progress. The lawyer of Chicago, is pulling the cover hard to have the world a complaining form by Sweet's neighbors to rail-call him to prison. his life in demean of the weak and anticipates no soiling in so doing. That is a curious bit of psychology that this great character, being driven by dramatization, and beaten by the whip of "Larger" and his cowlly slave-tyrannus, becomes the ante-tact of traitors and the hound of scorn. Today when he bans his race, we call him a Tome Nero, while as a fact he has himself and betrays the weak, we call a black Nocent. We call the black, brown and yellow traitors of the century "Curtius" Pratt calls this the Negro slave whom Larger used to be the proper ante-tact for the more CIMBEE'S RAMBLINGS Well, Gull, go de Bapit fokes long de Pythyaune ux Tixie胺 de cordeer ur omber uv ar belfuil "out at fouterness that dat we is lg git be thankful dat we has or insituotho en 2 ria dstate what is abi tau serve de hoamns an enterprises uz vervin fokes Pythyaune uom ter de reque of de Bapit ux Tixie by lending er murmuff nurty tupper or boy bielin.
