With the insurance department of Texas granting a charter to the Real Building and Loan Association of Houston, to do business in this state for 50 years, it begins to appear that "Heavenly Houston" will soon have the type of commercial institution which has long been one of the urgent and crying needs of our racial group in this community. The incorporators of this association, which is pursued and capitalized at $10,000,000 are Carter W. Wesley, J. Alston Atkins, John D. Epps, Belzora A. Malvin and C. F. Richardson. Probably the purpose of the association is best epitomized in its motto: Safety, Service and Satisfaction. The officers are: C. F. Richardson, president; John D. Epps, vice president; J. Alston Atkins, secretary-treasurer; Carter W. Wesley, auditor; Belzora A. Malvin, assistant secretary-treasurer. The officers have been appointed in the last decade, has been evident in the Negroes of the community and industry needed the services of a building and loan association as granted by the state department of ets.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto issued and caused the seal of my office and to be impressed thereon in the City of Austin first by binding all officers and agents who handle the funds; next by binding only in their offices. All property is appraised by the directors, who are held accountable for correct appraisal by the state loan not to average over 66 2/3% C. P.

Shares Exempt From Taxation. The shares are not taxed to members as personal property and income up to $200 from shares is owed to them. It is said that every community or group of $2000 should have a building located at $2000 or $2,000 Negroes in Houston and vicinity without the facilities and advantages of a city. Since Houston entered upon its phenomenal growth in the last decade, it has been required to build Houston and vicinity needed the services of a building and loan agency. Will Service Negro Race. The Real Building and Loan Association was organized to fill this need. The association will build new homes, to buy homes at ready built, and to adjust loans that have been deferred to build new property. Wherever a mortgage is carried the association will see to it to make sure that all loans are carried on the property and that all taxes are paid. It will pay from 6 to 8 members. It will refund all accounts on 30 day's notice; and when only a few members accounts desire withdrawal it will refund without taking advantage of the benefits. It will send a mail department so that members may join and carry on all of their duties. The association is endorsed. The association expects, through its experts (it has three lawyers, one accountant, and an authority in accounting among the officers) to give valuable advice to its members at no extra cost.

Improved Uniform International SundaySchool Lesson (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER D.D. Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (© 1927, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for April 3 PETER BECOMES A DISCIPLE OF JESUS LESSON TEXT - Mark 11:45; 29-31 DOES THIS HOW? 29-31 AND I will make you to become a disciple of Jesus. **PRIMARY TOPIC - Peter Follows 2-3** **JUNIOR TOPIC - The Great Decision** **INTERMEDIATE AND NESPOTION TOOLED PEOPLE AND AUDIT TOOLING PEOPLE AND AUDIT TOOLING PEOPLE** **GIVEN TO THE GOD** 1. Jesus Preaching in Gallus (v. 14, 15). **The reason for Christ changing from Judas to Gallus is the growing opposition of Jesus to John the Baptist, as foreshadowing His own death. The rejection of the foreswain meant the rejection of John the Baptist.** 1. What He preached (v. 14). **The gospel of the kingdom of God which meant the good news of the kingdom when the rule of God as predicted by the prophets would be realized.** 2. How He preached (v. 15). **The gospel of the kingdom of God as predicted by the prophets would be realized.** 3. How He preached (v. 15). **The gospel of the kingdom of God as predicted by the prophets would be realized.** 4. "Begest". **The present that the people should turn around, change their minds and attitude toward Christ and accept Him as their King. The message of rejection which needs to be sounded out today.** 5. "Believe the gospel." Then, as men, need men to believe the gospel. 11. Jesus Called Peter and Andrew to become Fishers of Man. Jesus went to his kingdom in his kingdom. It is usually best to perform the Lord's service in paria. This has a threefold value. It makes the Lord's service more honorable on the part of workers and protection of the witnesses. It is to be noted that these men had previously been called fishermen (John 1:38-42). They are now called to serve. Observe: 1. From what they were called (x. 10). They were called from positions of definite service. They were fishermen. They were from the ranks of the employed. 2. To what were they called (v. 17). 3. To be "fathers of men." They no longer possess the qualities which made them good fishermen, namely, patience, bravery to the storm and darkness of the night, and the qualities which made them all night though no fish were caught, would make them good fishermen. 4. Their obedience (v. 15). 5. "Straightway they forsook their acts and followed Him." 6. To obey measure, painful perseverance, leading up of all business interests and leaving father behind. Regardless of the cost, they yielded promise of obedience. 7. Simon the Peter of Simon's House (vv. 29-31). 8. Soon after the letter of Peter and Andrew, Jesus called James and John. He sent them to the garden at Capernaum, where He cast out an evil spirit. This miracle caused him to be spread abroad. 9. When Jesus entered this home He found Peter's mother-in-law with a burning fever. We know that among them were suffering and are suffering ones and anxious and burdened hearts. To all such Jesus comes with love sympathy and power. 2. "They tell him of her" (v. 31). This was the proper thing to do in the case of a woman who was Jesus those of our spirituals who have need of bodily or spiritual healing. 3. "He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up." This act showed compassion and power of Jesus. At his touch the fever departed and strength was imputed. 43 "She ministered unto them." **v. 31** **B31** This act shows: 1) That the cure was instantaneous and complete. When Jesus heals there is no halfway business. 2) Gratitude on the part of the one who healed. 3) Preparation of what Jesus had done. All those who have experienced the healing power of Jesus will express gratitude to the service to the Lord and His discipline. God's Indulgence God is not over-indulgent. He is too loving for that. Because He loves us, and plan for our growth, He cannot be indulgent. He will not Justice his Justice stands side by side with His mercy, and cannot be evaded or out of account—Southern Mathod. Finding Strength Where shall we find strength for practical separation to God, except in God Himself—Echoes.
