1. The Day of Pentecost Fully Come (v. 1).
2. Significance of the day (v. 1).
3. Pentecost is from a Greek word meaning "difty". It is the weak heart of Jesus, and it is being (Lev. 23, 118). The wave shelters resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 20, 29).
4. The gift of the Holy Spirit (v. 24).
5. His day the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples. From that time forth He would work on a new bask, having the crucified, risen and Christ to present to the world.
6. Upon whom the Spirit came (v. 1, 114, 115).
7. And others, both men and women to the number of one and twenty, showing that the God of heaven is the believers, not merely the apostle.
8. The marks of the Spirit (v. 24).
3. These marks were internal and external.
1. External.
2. The mark of a mingy wind (v. 2). This is suggestive of the mysterious, pervasive and powerful energy of the Spirit.
3. This is the mark of flame (v. 23). Each of the one hundred was crowned with a tongue. Tongues show the practical purpose of the Spirit.
(1) Speaking in foreign tongues (v. 4), This was a temporary endowment for the purpose. (2) Interval. This is seen in the transformation wrought in the disciples, Peter, who shortly before this covered before a crowd of men who stand before the chief rulers and declare that they had murdered their King, therefore guilty before God. (3) The multitude were filled with amazement and wonder. The gift of the Spirit transform common men into leaders. (4) The multitude were filled with amazement and wonder. The gift of the Spirit transform common men into leaders. (5) Some mocked and foolishly attempted to account for this remarkable occurrence. They accused the disciples of being a villain. (11. Peter's German (v. 16-47).
(3) From His ascension to be on the right hand of God (v. 42). The light was the wonderful miracle of the Spirit's operation in their indict; for he had said that His ascension between the would send forth the Spirit. 4. The effect of the sermon (v. 37). Many people were convicted of their sins, three thousand of whom repented and were baptised. The daily life of these believers was proof of their faith. (1) They continued steadfastly in the apostolic teaching (v. 42). In fellowship with the sermon (v. 42).
Trusting God
An undivided heart which worships God alone, and trusts Him as it should is raised above all anxiety for each of us. **Hand and Heart of God** in creation we see the hand of God, and at Calvary we see the heart of God—Echoes.
**Spiritual Happiness**
Spiritual happiness is possible under all circumstances—Echoes.

He was sure of his identity remaining undisclosed until he was ready to re-enter the plane.

Aunt Julia had said anything further and commented. As she started across the field with her head held high, a slim figure detached from the crowd and ran over, "What happened?" nothing you ever experienced before? Aunt Julia told those who our words are still purging over them.
"Nothing. Patricia. No one ever—not even your saluted uncle at his old shedron before." "Why—what?" Patty seemed stunned. High the altitude attained, "Take him if you want him," want on Anntia Julie.

PROVEN WAY TO STOP FALLING HAIR and DANDRUFF
1807
Dandruff, falling hair, itching scalp and baldness are enemies to scalp health and the growth of long, lustrous hair. Scientists admit they are "germ" diseases and to cure them the germ must surely be destroyed. To destroy these germs, enrich the scalp. Grow the hair.

LIFE IN FORT MINK
After Mr. Tootsie had kissed her husband effusively, she promptly asked for five dollars, which he as promptly returned.
"Pig! I wish those affections upon you. I ask you, and yet you refuse me those five dollars."
"Here are those five dollars," responded the Fort Mink philosopher guide. "Now I can afford any more kisses just at present."

**Odd Moor Temple**
A ratan temple, said to be the arrest of the kind in the world, has recently been dedicated at Wangtai, New Zealand. It has cememnts 15 walls, 10 feet, and the capacity is more than 1,000 worshippers, according to the Malinthe Sun. The work was done by the Moor Indians, the cost being $15,000. It was estimated if one by one, it was estimated.
Why Destroy Hope?

WHAT'S THE
ME SEXN
BEFORE
WONDERFUL ETHIOPIANS OF THE
FAMOUS GUSHITE EMPIRE.
By Drusilla Dunjee Houston.
Nest succeed the singular facts about the life of an mysterious Birmingham monk, the monk of the Romans; then we follow the life and tragedy of the floating island of the Romans, of which the late Greek culture well-told. They were the people of the flashy mythology. It is almost impossible to find any similar but scanty fragments in the ancient Greek mythology of these people of pre-historic days; but our text has compiled these fragments, and we can read them in the chapters. Today all these subjects remain unexplained mysteries in the
We linger awhile to gaze upon the marvels revealed of the host civilization, the ancient Greeks of Homer and the enchanting Greece of Homer and the legend. All having direct relation to the ancient Cushites. Historic Greece and Egypt, passes before us with the older and superior civilization of All Over Asia in modern literature. Next we look at the strange relationship of the family of the Hebrew writers Ethiopians and that the Hebrew writers gave them the language. We breathe in the strange relationship of the family of the European group of languages. Our trail of the Cushites begins us in view of the astounding Ethiopian religion, which is incomprehensible and incomprehensible traits in the Ethiopian of today. Next Ethiopians, who produced fadeless colors of gold, silver and bronze, were filled through solid rock and were masters of many beliefs that believe we have invented fying machines; for they believe we have understood electricity, who made metal figures of colors, and who invented flying machines; for they believe we have understood the "Ram of the golden fleece" of the legends, may not be more fairy tales than these.
Next out of the forgotten wastes of the Dark Continent rise before us in the Pueblo Three, the Pueblo Four, the Pueblo Five, empires, representing other missive civilizations of the time of the Cretan Empire. Then flash the "Ancient Cushite Commerce," during and shillful seamen, before the dawn of history had blazed an ancient文明, and then they were larger and more advanced later followed. The ancient Cushite ships appear on the sculptures of ancient empires, and they were larger than the later Phoenician ships. We find irrelevant evidence of their presence, and a corresponding coverage of legends, customs of primitive America.

The Secret of Houston's Phenomenal Growth
It is on the lips of every loyal Houstonian that proportionately Houston has had and is still enjoying the most phenomenal growth and progress of any city in the Nation.
It begins with the City Government. The people of Houston found in Mayor Holcombe a man who believed in civic betterment and Houston's progress. Despite his faults they elected him as mayor again because he was the best man. This is team-work!
Realizing that it takes money to build a city, the people of Houston have recently voted to tax themselves by means of bond issues to the extent of about $7,000,000 for civic improvements. This is co-operation.
Houston has a great Ship Channel. But it was not built by one man. It is the product of team-work and co-operation.
Houston has twenty-eight banks and trust companies with combined capital and surplus of $12,280,000, average deposits of $150,000,000 and savings of $24,000,000. These banks and trust companies are the result of team work and co-operation.
Houston has three building and loan associations with combined resources of about $6,000,000. Without co-operation and team work these would not be possible.
Houston has three daily newspapers and one weekly newspaper, all of which are published by corporations. These, too, are the result of team work and co-operation.
Houston has 35,276 industrial corporations with combined weekly payrolls of approximately $64,000,000. These institutions bespeak the magic of co-operative effort.
Houston has $120,000,000 invested in retail trade organizations.
Indeed, the secret of Houston's growth and progress is co-operation and team-work.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1927
ANOTHER PRIMARY STATUTE PROPOSED
According to daily newspaper reports from Austin, the governor of Texas and some of his partisan and political advisers plan to propose another "white man's primary" law in this state; the chief executive of the state pledged his democratic colleagues that he will submit such anti-Negro legislation to the present special session of the Texas legislature.
Press dispatches also state that the new measure will seek to vest the authority and power in political parties to prescribe the qualifications of the constituents of such political organizations in Texas, and, that in this way the state will not become a party to such class legislation and political activity.
If the state, directly or indirectly, seeks to regulate, supervise or prescribe the modus operandi of political parties in this state; if any of the state agencies are invoked or employed in the holding of such partisan primaries; if the state seeks to sanction the conduct of a political party as its partisan conduct relates to the exclusion of American citizens from participation in its political activities due to color, race or creed, then any such measure will be just as invalid and unconstitutional as the "white man's primary" law, and the supreme court of the United States recently declared and classed as "outworn" legislation.
For the benefit of Governor Moody, members of the democratic executive committee of Texas and leading partisan luminaries, we wish to cite an opinion handed by the supreme court of the United States in 1897, styled Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad Company vs. City of Chicago, 166 U. S. 22, wherein the late Mr. Justice Harlan read the decision of the court:
"But a state may not, by any of its agencies, disregard the prohibitions of the 14th amendment. Its judicial authorities may keep within the letter of the statute prescribing forms of procedure in the courts and give the president the power to impose the prohibition and yet it might be that its final action would be inconsistent with the amendment. In determining what is due process of law, regard must be had to substance, not to form. This court, referring to the 14th amendment, has said, 'Can a state make anything due process of law which is not in the best opportunity to be heard?' To affirm this is to hold that the prohibition to the states is of no avail, or has no application where the invasion of private rights is effected under the forms of law legislation.' The same question could be proposed, and the same answer should be made, 'in reference to judicial proceedings inconsistent with the requirements of due process of law.' In other words, if the Texas legislature, acting upon the recommendation of Governor Moody, passes a law empowering executives to impose the prohibition and disqualify Negroes and to deny them their constitutional rights, then the said executive committee becomes an agent or repre-

sentative of the state of Texas, and the state is held responsible for whatever actions the partisan leaders take in this matter, if a statute is enacted bestowing upon party leaders this authority and power.
ALAMO CITY ACTORS MADE FINE SHOWING
If state officers are employed and any state governmental machinery is pressed into service to conduct such partisan elections, then the state becomes and is a party to such violation of the constitutional amendments; and any black man who is denied the opportunity to vote in the state legislature is a court of equity or by suit for damages, and can appeal his case to the highest tribunal in the country.
From the size of the audience which greeted J. H. Hammersmith and Mrs. Beverley Lewis at the auditorium of the Odd Fellows Temple Monday and Tuesday, and Paul Forl at "Houston can yet boast of a large number of volumes of the book," visually seen and heard Mr. Hammersmith on two occasions, and knew just what the occasion was, in his cast, not like those on former occasions, was unknown to the local public. The audience at Monday and Tuesday nights went home decorating "Wwame, we saw and loved" Wwame, we saw and loved
In fact, it appears to The Informer that, in face of the ruling of the supreme court of the United States invalidating and outlawing such class legislation and rendering it impossible for the state to enforce such legislation, the state either directly or indirectly, any Denied the right to vote in such elections can resort to the federal courts for immediate relief and redress.
The Informer is unable to compay why the democratate Texas legislature had and perturbed about the black man participating in the primary elections of this state; for with the black race constituting about one-seventh of the population of Texas there seems little danger of "Negro domination," the stereotyped cry of the democratic politicians and office-seekers who endeavor to gain the majority of the intelligent white voters in Texas and the South.

The desire on the part of the Negro to vote is not actuated by any motive to dominate or control, any political situation in this state, but the sensible, manly, order, such as burs professes to be, the ballot is the most powerful weapon any citizen can wield and exercise, and that the voteless man is voiceless, and becomes the door-mat and foot-stool of the men and races who thus exercise power.
Mevin Booker as Jimmie Gilley, the son of the late Thelma Thorne and the Warrick little spouse, supplied the needed spices, in the way of comedy, to make the eve of the film a memorable detail. Mimi Anita Linton and Joseph Enna as maled and butter, respectively.
Another thing, the Negro is a human being just like other humans. The Negro is a human being who should all the responsibilities and burdens of citizenship, in a manner similar to other citizens of this commonwealth and republic, and then be denied the enjoyment and exercise of certain rights.
The Houston public is under many obligations to the Women's Missionary Society of Anchorage Baptist Church and is one of the most wonderful entertainment.
Unless the state of Texas assumes a "hands off" policy in any type of class legislation, particularly where such discriminatory laws are not enforced, the state's constitutional guarantees, warranties and rights, any anti-Negro statute which the state legislature might enact or any such authority which it might delegate to partisan organizations in the state, are not enforced or the time consumed for drafting and engrossing the measure.
INFORMER MERGER
ELICITS FLOWERS
It is amusing to see the governor of Texas, surrounded, encouraged, aided and abetted by a group of peanut-politicians, frantically endearing to nullify the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the federal constitution on one hand, and shedding the same enthusiasm because certain sections of the country are not properly observing the Eighteenth amendment to the same basic law of the land.
The Informer herewith makes public some of the congratulatory letters and messages received upon its consolidation with the Webster. Printing Company and the closing of contracts to install a modern printing plant:
Consistency, thou art a jewel, a rare and almost extinct species of Americanism!
"I note in the last issue of The Times that you have recently met the Informer, and I am writing to congratulate you and to tell you that I am a former Informer. I am grateful you able to influence and help even more than you are doing through the Informer. You are rendering a very effective service to the cause of Negro business. You count me as one of your warm personal friends and genuinely well-wish you success in the Negro Business League and secretary Tuskegee Institute Tukeze."
ARKANSAS ENTRY SEEKS TITULAR HONORS!
The Arkansas members of Judge Lynch's loop made a determined effort last week to assume the leadership in that league's race for the 1927 gonfalon, and thus reverted to a species of savagery and barbarism which reads like a page from the history of some heathenism and cannibalistic tribe or race. Accused of an attack upon a white woman and her daughter, a brutal and horrible crime, but one for which the criminal could have easily been handled and punished through orderly processes of law enforcement, a colored man was murdered by a mob of men who had been caught in the state—and then his lifeless body was dragged about the streets of the city and later burned on a funeral pyre in the most popular downtown Negro business section.

SUMMER SCHOOL
WILL OPEN HERE
IN YATES SCHOOL
In a civilized country such as America professes and essays to be, with the wheels of machinery in the hands of the dominant (white) race, there is no earthly need or reason for mob-violence of any sort, and every mobocratic demonstration such as the Little Rock orgy shows just how far removed certain members of society are from the dark age of savagery, barbarism and anarchy.
What is probably the first summer school for colored teachers will be operated. In Houston this summer by the Houston school board at the Jack Yates High School for a form of six courses. The Prairie View colleges are co-operating with the superintendent and will represent the on the faculty. Tulare College courses: $11; three courses, $20. Any college courses will be offered for which
The taking of a human life by a mob is more than murder; it is anarchy—rebellion against and an overthrow of the law and constituted authority, and a trampling, under profane and criminal feet, of the sacred and time-honored guarantees and warranties as provided in the state and national constitutions. The Informer does not condone crime, whether committed by black man or white man, for color of the skin should never be taken into consideration when any violation of the law has been perpetrated; but this paper knows that neither this country, nor the United States, has ever been persecuted or part "helleratic"; and either the American mob must be put out of commission or this republic will go out of commission.
Prof. J. T. Fox of Wiley College has been employed as the director of the summer school. Those who are interested in the summer session should confer with him after May 8: Saturdays, 10:12; other days.
Since the individual states seem helpless and impotent before the cringing and cowardly mobs; since it is apparent that sherifis, constables and other peace officers find it convenient to absent themselves when mobs are committing their depreciations or they (said peace officers) wink and nod assent at such heathenish and hellish horrors, unless the federal government does step in to prevent the future of the nation from the indictments in Judge Lynch's loop, of the future of this country is indeed dark and dismal.
It is hoped that as many students in teachers as possible will take advantage of the summer to improve their time during their vacation. More than 200 students are expected to be open to teachers and students from other cities at the same rates as the Houston teachers. Houston teachers will receive a summer will receive an increase of salary amounting to $25.00 per hour, attendance, according to Prof. Fox.
However, there is one encouraging feature about the Little Rock disorder and civil insurrection and that is the attitude taken by the leading white citizens of that city, who have demanded the punishment of all persons responsible for the reign of terror and bitterly denounced and vehemently criticized the peace offenders. The police, in the meantime, have taken the mob, in that no effort was made by the sworn upholders and defenders of law and order to prevent the emancipists' atrocities and temporary overthrow of constituted authority.
