The party was met by large delegations of friends at several of the churches at 9:20 o'clock via the Calvert and Marlin, arriving in Waco at 3:35 p. m., where a large reception committee met the train and the stage, and then to their stopping places. We made our headquarters at our usual place, the palatial room at Attica, where the guests were joined by Mr. and Mrs. J. Brigaby. Other members were invited to the reception and most of the delegation departed from Waco Friday night rather than by special arrangements made with E. J. Peters, division passenger agent at the station. The Pullman was provided for our return, and the train was held in Waco thirty minutes after the departure. The Pullman was thereby closing one of the most enjoyable and epocal chapters in the history of the organization.

Mrs. Bethune Issues Call To Women Organizations For National Meet; Hidden Strength To Be Vitalized
TUSKEGEE DRAWS BAPTISTS PLAN
NEGRO FARMERS JUBILEE EVENT
TO ANNUAL MEET ATNEXTPARLEY
Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—An indication that there is a deeprooted disposition among Negro leaders to unite their forces of all kinds in such consolidated conferences as Kelly Miller's significant Sandhiern and James Shepard's auspicious Fact-Finding Conference, is revealed in a remarkable call which has just been issued to the colored women of America by Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune of Daytona, Florida. Mrs. Bethune is the founder and principal of Bethune-Cookman College at Daytona and was for four years president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. She is a conference of the heads of all national organizations of colored women to meet for an inter-change of knowledge in order to build a national council bound by a platform or pro-community enough to meet changing conditions and broad enough to permit the cooperation of all progressive hoods. The tentative period of the conference is late February or early March. Mrs. Bethune is a College call; if its language is correctly understood, would seem to
Tuskegee, Institute, Ala.—(Sp.)—Faced with agricultural marketing conditions which stand sorely in need of revision, 1200 members of Negro farm families from nine Southern states turned to Tuskegee Institute to learn from James C. Stone, vice-chairman of the Federal Farm Board, by what means and in what measure they may expect federal aid in meeting these conditions under the agricultural marketing act recently passed by Congress which created a loan fund administered by the Farm Board. Speaking to this group at the 30th annual Tuskegee Negro Conference, which met here Wednesday and Thursday, Mr. Stone declares that the Farm Board is as interested in advancing the cause of the Negro farm family. The American Agricultural Group in the country and urged colored farmers to organize local country cooperative units of the State Farm Bureau as the first step toward securing federal aid.
Mr. Stone advised against the establishment of a separate marketing organization, stating that all farmers in the same community should sell through a common marketing agency to the services of which all affiliated unions may be required.
“If you are interested in getting better access to produce and in realizing a more satisfying rural life,” he stated, “you will organize these units to affiliate with the State Farm Bureau and cooperate with similar units of white farmers in your own field.” He said, “you will have established such units you will be eligible for federal aid.
“No permanent aid can be guaranteed the farmer unless he himself is interested in his condition. If he is dissatisfied with conditions, he should organize the farm and the farm organization and qualify for aid. Under the provisions of the law the Federal Farm Board is directed to work through cooperative marketing associations and other farmer-owned and farm-cooperative organizations, including impossible to deal with individual farmers.”
Lacking In Trading Power
"Is my opinion the farmer's principal trouble is lack of trading skills? Are we so organized that the buying power is concentrated in the hands of relatively small sellers, will never matter what they are entitled to until they concentrate their selling power to meet the methods already adopted by the buying groups. What is the problem? That they need a better system of selling and will agree on business terms."

BAPTISTS PLAN
JUBILEE EVENT
AT NEXT PARLEY
Baptists from all sections of the country gathered here Tuesday to lay plan and complete the program for the forthcoming celebration of the founding of the National Baptist Convention, which will be held here in Angust, 1930.
Special emphasis was placed upon the program for the golden jubilee celebration at the meeting which was held at the Baptist Convention, which Dr. L. K. Williams, president of the organization, presided. According to the program outlined this celebration bids fair to be not only epocal in the history of the National Baptist Convention, but also in the annals of the Negro group in America.
While the progress of the denomination itself will be stressed and a program outlined for the future, the advancement of the Negro in general will be emphasised and ways and means discussed will accelerate the progress of the group in education, business and religion. These phases will be discussed by leaders in the particular line and round-table conferences will be held to formulate a working program for the future activities.
Expect 75,000 To Attend
Dr. Williams told the group Tuesday afternoon that some 75,000 members of the organization would attend the convention and that adequate provisions were being made to see that the meeting would be held in the future. The sessions will be held in the college, which seats more than 20,000 and which is one of the most famous convention halls in the country.
Business men and professional men of the city have joined hands with the local committee to put the celebration over in a big way and plan are being made at the present time. According to Dr. Williams, never before in the history of Chicago has there been such cooperation on the part of Chicagoans as is being manifested in the coming convention. Prominent leaders have offered their services and have pulled up their sleeves, to use a common expression, to help to make the convention the stress which it should be.

YOUTHFUL PASTOR
DECRIES PRESENT
RELIGIOUS TRENDS
Nashville, Tenn.—“Intellectualism must be enthroned in our churches if the new day is to dawn in the Negro church,” said the Rev. Russell C. Barbour, youthful pastor of First Baptist Church, addressing the students of Fisk University in Fisk Memorial Chapel Friday morning.
“We have shouted away nearly every school we have had under our supervision,” he continued, “while we boast of our monopoly of the Holy Spirit. Intelligent laymen and educated ladies of our group are responsible for this sad plight of the Negro church. I know congregations composed of large numbers of educated folk, with leading business and professional men of the community represented on the various boards of control, and yet they refuse to give the people intelligent leadership,” he added. “Thus we are fighting, splitting abusing and doing everything to bring the church and its inspiring tradition to shame and dishonor. You future leaders, in the name of high heaven go forth and redeem the situation,” the speaker concluded.

New Orleans, La.—(ANP)—Charges of kidnapping were filed in Criminal District Court Tuesday against D. B. Mayberry of Detroit, by his father, Robert Mayberry, the priest of the Astorina Hotel, who charged Mayberry with abducting Vera Mayberry, 30, his wife, from whom he has been separated for two years. The woman was dragged into an apartment on Monday, the hotel Monday, and Olga Long, cashier of the hotel, told Braden that it was his daughter who believed that Mayberry was taking his daughter back to Detroit to attend school, to arrest him, but Jackson's police refused to set without criminal by Braden. The affidavit was filed by Braden. Braden told the district attorney that Mayberry several years ago, but left him about two years ago and returned to Detroit. The month Mayberry came to New Orleans and attempted to permeate the woman to return home with him, but
Virginia Primary Case To Go Before U.S. Appeals Court
New York City—The United States Circuit Court of Appeals will pass on the Virginia election law, which makes it possible for state party committees to bar Negroes from state elections. The court, which is contained in a letter sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by Alfred E. Cohen, attorney of Richmond, Virginia, has been in charge of the case through the lower courts.
In a decision held by Judge D. Lawrence Gleason, the judge that the Virginia law is unconstitutional in that prosecution, but arrangement has been perfect, a ruling on it by a higher court.
Should this case come before the United States Supreme Court, as is planned, the judge will obtain, it will complete the circle begun in the Texas which is primary jurisdiction, and the state could enact a law specifically barring Negroes from primary election. The attempt to accomplish the same end, not by state law, but through voters' setups set up by party com-munities.

Pastor Quits When
Church Bars Blacks
From Membership
Detroit, Mich.—(ANP)—because the church council refused to admit Negroes to the membership, Rev. A. J. Helm resigned as president of the Church of Detroit, according to an announcement made here Sunday. A Negro man and woman had been in the church years and recently applied for a job, but the church mandated that they be accepted but the church council steadfastly refused the grounds that they were Negroes. Discussing the affair Dr. Helm declared: "To refuse church membership to anyone of the same race is not a good teaching of Jesus and to give the ethos of Christianity to prejudice."
NEGRO SOLDIER GETS CITATION FOR HEROIC ACT
Columbus, Ga.—(ANP)—For the second time within the space of a few days, official commendation from high authority has been given to an enlisted man of Fort Benning. Last week a Fort Benning soldier was cited in War Department orders for meritorious services in assisting to rescue an endangered horse belonging to this battery. This week comes the news from Washington of the award to another man of the soldier's medal, a decoration which is given in recognition of conspicuous acts of bravery performed in time of peace.
Private first class Lawrence A. Tillis of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, is the recipient of the medal, which is awarded to him for an act of courage which he performed at the risk of his own life. Several months ago Tillis and a number of his comrades were returning from Alabama in an army bus which plunged through a broken bridge and into a swollen stream. Several of the soldiers were unable to swim and Tillis, an athlete of local note, rescued four of them at imminent peril of his own life. The incident was reported to the War Department and the award of the decoration, accompanied by a warm letter of congratulations from the chief of infantry followed.

Governor, "Spotlighted" as Hamer Guest, Declares It Must Unusual Thing He Ever Witnessed
Waco News-Tribune:
While 10,000 people packed the Cotton Palace Coliseum Friday night to hear 700 Nregen sing, at least 600 more literally hammered at the gates and almost broke down one of the buildings, adding to the addition and tried vainly to get in, more thousands got discouraged early and went home through the rain.
Some who trickled in as strangers went out, found the event worth waiting for and fighting for; and those who did not not quite early enough, and stood for hours listening, were well repaid for occasion.
The event was the News-Tribune and Hamer-Guest's Christmas promenade.
Perfect Harmony
The 700 Negras sang together perfectly. This was the universal commonplace of the Negras, " never heard that; many people sang so well together." What they sang is music; grumbling is emotion; emotional people. The three choral clubs, from Houston, Waco and Fort Worth, added expertise to the make-up of the Negras.
Crowd Went Out Early
But to get back to the crowd that accepted so freely the Christmas carol, I had to go to the cute place and the occasion. 6 p. m. Automobiles were piling fast along the curb around the Cottonton place and in the exhibition park the crowd was cheering the occasion. A sudden rain fall torrents, but still the crowd poured into the carriage and the coliseum opened; and then as fast as the people could jam themselves in the carriage, the coliseum hammered at the gates. The thousands walked away in the rain. The poor; the aristocrat, the most humble; the young, the old. Aged folk who numbered in the crowd, sing and songs sat side by side with goggled-eyed youngsters who had all known that Nerges could sing and people who cannot afford so much as a picture show brought their whole family to the carriage. The lot of which is few and far between.
Remarkable Exhibition

By SOL HOLMES
ROBERT Nordick Sampson found several thousand dollars in Spanish coin twenty-five years ago, and he was very happy, indeed. He thought that the end of his poverty stricken days had arrived, but he soon discovered that he had not guessed with a safe deed of the end of his poverty. Robert Sampson faced the end of his life. He died when he exerted himself digging a deep hole in the ground, to keep his money from falling into the possession of bandits who he had killed and brought in and bound Benton, Missouri, meant to rob him that night.
No stranger story has ever been told that the story which is related in the book living in and around Benton, Missouri, does justice to the work of Edgar Allen Robert Nordick Sampson was an American detective. Robert Nordick was an amateur friend. He had never wronged anyone in his life, and he was trusted by all, and was a good gold. The only wrong with Robert Sampson was that he took a little drink now and
Because he drank, Samson left his health. The doctor told him that he had a bad heart and should not exert himself if he expected to live to a ripe old age. Such things as digging in the hard ground, or climbing trees to pick apples were the wrong end of the manner for Samson, and the sooner he realized it, the better off he would be. He was advised to sit at home on the front porch and watch his neighbors work, if he wanted to enjoy himself when his hair turned white.
But Sampson did not have to exert himself. His wife was afflicted with overexertion. She couldn't keep the care to herself. She expostulated at considerable length about how her husband had plowed up a fortune in cold Spanish coins. There was a half of a bushel basket of these silver pieces, and a gentleman in the East had made Sampson a good offer for the ancient money. There would be a morgon, by and for a little since it was in the same place. There would be no occasion for worry, for the cupboard would always be heavily laden with good things to eat—beef and pork and dried fruit, such as Sampson liked. It wouldn't be long, so now they waited patiently for the wealthy gentleman from the Rust to appear in order to leave some of the hard silver money in place of the headdressed Spanish coins. Sampson
One neighbor woman relayed the story to another neighbor woman, and she told him that she was a woman. Presently the Sapponson seamen, common property in the Sampson, were familiar with them and they took pity on him. They thought she had known him well. She told everything she knew. She should have known enough to tell him that she couldn't expect anything else except that the neighborhood who pooled men in the neighborhood who pooled men in the neighborhood who pooled men in the Sampson family had once been poor should not act as a deterent. Sampson listened and nodded his head negatively. He understood the silt in the water, and doing what she had been told was wrong. It was entirely too late to teach an Sampson was informed by an intuitively friend one day that he knew Sampson was a Sampson who was familiar with them. Why not not wait for them passively?
Such things had been done and, despite all that, Sampson didn't have to take action if he had sense enough to be smart. Consequently, Sampson decided to take action, which he did when he had a decision. he did not hesitate. He gently found a picture and shoved, and Sampson was not watched, he took the money to a hidden part of a corn field and he worked too strenuously, therefore he disobeyed the doctor's instruction and took a sufficient depth, he covered the money over, took his pick and shoved the porch, Sampson sat down to ruck. He produced a handkerchief and was the suddenly the perspiration, when the paper offered a sound. Just dropped his skirt. His wife tired, and shut the door. His wife tired, and shut the door. His wife tired, and shut the door. He simply shook his head. He told Sampson a wife—the woman who had so much money that he had driven a car that he possibly nothing to be done. Sampson Sampson had

Somchow Mrs. Sampson figured that her husband's last thoughts had concerned the hiding place of his money. She had seen him leave the house with the sack, and knew as well as she knew her name that the house had hit the the very. The case he was afraid that robbers would take the old Spanish treasure from him. But all this she would not disclose to the doctor, who stood for a moment looking at Sampson's body after they had removed it to the house, then reluctantly left the room, and rode his white mare off at a gallop.
Mrs. Sampson was alone with her dead husband when the bandits came. They arrived a few moments following the doctor's departure, and before Mrs. Sampson could let her hand go to his rest. The bandits had gone to his rest. The bandits swept into the room where the corpse lay and made short work of the search for the money. They quickly thrust the muzzle of a pistol against the breast of Mrs. Sampson and ordered to disclose the hiding place of the money, which the same was could not do. Then the bandits—there were four of them—placed the end of a red hot poker against the bare back of the woman who had talked too much, and ordered her to divulge all she knew. Naturally she told him she had been a man who had had done it. She was afraid that the money, but she did not know where the bandits were convinced, and went away after knocking Mrs. Sampson down with the poker. She

GRANADY CASE ENDS ABRUPTLY; JUDGE FLAILED
GRANADY CASE ENDS ABRUPTLY; JUDGE FLAILED
Chieago, Ill.—(ANP)—After seven days devoted to the taking of testimony, trial of five white policemen and four white gangsters for the murder of Oecio Martinez on a day when Chief Special Prosecutor Frank J. Loesch entered a nole prosecu as against the seven remaining defendants, after reading a statement to the court, which he said was the case the state had made against the defendants and ended by criticizing the court for its unfair attitude throughout the trial.
Loesch's action came just after the defense counsel had started a witness testimony of surprise move in a trial that observers deceived in a court proceeding. The usual held in Cook County in which it was sought to make nine who was shot down in the streets on April 16, 2013, fortalled, but not until after a proceeding in court procedure had been completed.
It can now be written that it did seem that the judge had the beginning of the trial. Joseph B. David, the judge, a place in the opinion of colored citizens for his lack of prejudice, seems to have calculated to do injustice because of his unusual temperament. The trial constantly delivered civil citations to the judge. At one point he would be another he would be counting on most disdain for a state witness, or at another he would be chairing the court with both hands. He seemed to have kept Prosecutor James Lounberry in a quandary they should do. On one day he criticized whose testimony conflicted, and on the next he lectured them for not having the murder, even though their testimony might be conflicting. colored lawyer was in repeated tits with the court, over points of law or fact, but the beating of the court who from the start told the state it had no case, on until Loech, their superior, took them from under the "inhollerable abuse of the court by noose pressing"
So unprecedented was the court's action in trying to force the state to take action against the newcomer, an attitude toward the state as reported by newspapers. Bur Archer, an instituted an investigation of the entire affair as soon as the trial began, said his lack of prejudice and his knowledge of law, has frequently been criticized for his exhibitions of tem

It was too bad that Robert Nordick Sampson was deprived of his wealth by the death. Here was Sampson a hard working, honest Negro who had never been a slave, a life with a bushel basket half filled with ancient Spanish coin worth a fortune, thinking how great his wealth would be if stern poverty—and there was the grim stalker, Infate, who has no merry man unless she is in love with him.

Philadelphia, Pa.—(ANP)—The bringing together on one platform of such noted educators as Dr. Robert E사순, the Executive Committee of the Federal Education Institute; Dr. Thomas Elas Jones, president of Pink University; Dr. Henry J. Cadbury, head of the department of Medical Literature, Bryn Mgr. Mr. Mary McLeod, Bethune Principal of Bethune-Cookman College, supplemented by the Lincoln Glee Club, directed by James E. Dorsey, is a fast worth recording. On Sunday, December 8, at three o'clock in the Garrick Theatre, Philadelphia, there was a meeting, sponsored by the American Interracial Peace Committee, at which all the above were present.
Philadelphia has seldom had such an intellectual treat offered on one program. The American Interracial Peace Committee sponsors two major efforts in the city each year—a December Educational Assembly, and a Specialist Negro Music Festival in Mar.
Leslie Pinckney Hill, chairman of the American Interracial Peace Committee, presided and Alice Dunbar-Nolson, executive secretary, gave a brief report of the work of the past six months.
Texas' cement production for September was 295,000 barrels against $64,000 barrels for the same month in 1938.

The table in the center of the room at which Principal Miller, Coach Lockett, William Green and Adolphus Davis sat, was filled with center piece a silver back of the table and the white, white and black, the other tables, eight in number, held vases of rich, yellow chrysanthemums.
The school colors were in evidence, also, full blue and gold, chandeliers of ribbon strands of the color running to the corners of the tables, lent much cheer to an already pleasing atmosphere.

'MARRIED LIFE' NOT WORTH WHILE
Blames Wives' 'Nerves'
"Weak nerves," said a New York doctor recently, "in my estimation wreck more happily married lives than any other cause."
Besides making the sweetest disposition sour and irritable, nervousness is a terrible drain on your vital forces—it saps your youth and your strength and dulls your beauty. What a difference from the bright-eyed, vibrant girl he married. No wonder married life seems unbearable!
But you can get rid of your nervousness—speedily too—and become the steady-nerved, radiant woman you once were. Try the effect of Tanlac after meals and before going to bed, and if it doesn't soon make a new woman of you—doesn't rid you of that tired, strained feeling—go back and get your money.
Go to your druggist now and get a bottle of Tanlac. Millions of folks have started back on the road to youth, health and happiness with this world famous tonic and there is no reason why you, too, can't begin today to rebuild your worn-out tissues and revitalize your entire system.

of emotion would deepen and brighten until they glowed like dark amber in sunlight. She had the Negro's faculty of giving her whole being to an emotion, so that under stress every gesture became a graphic interpretation, but her years of hard drilling in music, and her teacher's directions for posture and platform presence were in danger of overdisciplining the emotions as well as the body. Her early natural charm was becoming a studied attitude. Now only when she was singing for fun as she would say, could she let herself go and forget herself in music. But the cultivated air of well-bred restraint was the charm that presently admitted her to the most exclusive circle of Negro society in the city.
Among the girls that she knew it was said by many that she was hard—that what she wanted she took regardless of others. But in a set rife with jealousies, and with her conspicuous attainments, talk of this sort was no more than was to be expected.
In the old city that was so strong among the whites it was singular that among the so little realization of the fact, that across the color line, there existed a great number of those were, in the opinion of most of the white residents, two general classes of people and those who did not—and of late years the latter class was drawn to place and those who did not—and of all the innumerable large numbers. If they thought all of the innumerable distinct segments of the city to be with mild and, on the whole, indulgent amusement. For it was well known that the sharp clear and malustive, between the waning power of the ministerial union and the malustive element and the young but powerful business class, all served to make any dangerous concerted Negro movement
In the set in which Lissa moved she seldom met a full-blooded Negro—the barrier of mistrust and prey�udice that rose between her fellows members of the Reformed Church and Mamba's friends on East Bay was separating white from black. The atmosphere that she breathed was that of the Victorian drawing room Music, which had always found a spontaneous outlet in the spiritual and work chant, color which was flung with a lavish hand over house fronts and clashed and rang in women of the day. In the 市场都属 district, had in that rarer air been a "culture," and found expression in the Monday Night Music Club, and exhibitions of paintings. The untrammelled hilarity and broad humor of Mamba's friends was here muted to the restrained mirth of the late nineties. The pendulum had swung with a vengeance and was then at the limit of its range. Far above, in the life of the aristocracy, the new freedom was beginning to be manifest, smashing conventional usage of talking its Freud and Jung-re-arranging moral standards, and explaining lapser in its pat psychoanalytical jargon. But in the Monday Night Music Club studies the radio, who was also enough blushed, a leopar with a limb and gentlemen asked permission to smoke cigarettes.
It was all a little shard, one might say—copybook gentility with its mild humor. It was the one thing nor the other in the amazing old city of color extremes the artist had to navigate on the other. But it must all ways be remembered as a beginning of a journey to a premium on chalky. Drawing room pioneros, perhaps, but adventurer none the less, and leading the way on the terrain that was new and strange.

strangely enough, the American Negro woman who, hitherto, has stood firm in her economic freedom and independence in man in his various fields of endeavor, in now beginning to seek for herself the economic freedom and independence of the American white woman.
"Regardless of their vocations, women of color are the mothers, and the homemakers. They are the ones who have to work, household economics, physical and mental hygiene, morality, education." Sequencing of the Negro, she observes, has forced the Negro to build his own religious, commercial, educational institutions which possess powerful hidden influence that is now available in any form.

Dr. Moton Welcomes Delegate
Dr. Robert R. Mottman, principal of Tukuee College, and president of the conference, welcomed the farmers and their families to the school, and that would be more welcome here than farmers, than the people who are working in the fields, by which men live and move and their being. You have had a hard time for the past three years. Yet when you compare your condition with that of millions of other people—not just farmers—the opportunities which are still open to you. Very many of people in the farm are living for a week on less than one of any of you eat in a single day. You can up with every movement looking toward better farming in their real lives if he expects to share in the farm should participate in every forward movement for better agriculture if he expects to share in the farm.

Hogs On Morning Program
The Wednesday morning session is traditionally the farmers' own meeting, where the man who grew the crops and the farmer who owns marketing has his say, has an opportunity to question his fellow workers and others who speak to them about farming issues, and the representatives of Dune Breeders Association and a student who spies on hot rains, boys and girls of the farm, and projects and visiting speakers. Talks were made by representative farmers at the afternoon session preceding the meeting.
Edmund S. Burke, student in the department of agriculture, tailed to the farmers on the care and maintenance of their crops, and that they must keep the pig-ty clean if they wish their stock to avoid disease. They develop into good hogs for the market.
"The trouble with the average farmer," Adger Moore, representative of the Duroc Breeders Association, stated, "is that he is going out, he knows not where, to fetch back he knows not what. Don't depend upon chance. Give your hog the most military accommodations, good feed, and he will come through all right. Make good pasture land and put your hogs in it or else you will have to buy food and thus be in debt. The best hogs are those raised on natural pasture growth and not on bought feed." Asked by a farmer what to do about weaning the pigs, Mr. Moore advised that the pigs should be taken away from the sow, not the sow from the pigs. This should be done about six or seven weeks after they are born, and feed them plenty, and there will be no trouble.
J. W. Telling, president of the Duroc Breeders Association, also sounded the note of sanitation in hog raising. "Move pigs to clean pastures a couple weeks after farrowing. Don't put them where other sows have been for years and years."
Questions to the best thing to plant for growing pigs, Mr. Telling replied that both cow pans and soy beans are excellent, also a mixture of ground oats and soy beans.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT LEADER-10- The Golden Rule in the Work of the World.
While some of these instructions were made clear, showing what God required of them, we should remember that they require no less at our time.
Treatment of tired Servants (Deut. 24:14, 15).
Political and industrial power have been used through the centuries in the work of the servants. 1. Oppressionbidden (t. 14). 2. The man who lives out in an unlucky and needy. The employee should be well cared for. 3. Foreigners to have the same treatment as fellow countrymen. 4. Wages to be properly paid (t. 15). 5. The laborer must be paid at the end of the day. The credit system in industry is greatly to be deplored because of its negative effects, and causes a and psychological reaction upon his personality.
1. Fidelity to Contract (Mant. 20:11)
In this parable it is clearly made known that there was agreement between the two parties, the wages and time. Though these employed at a later hour received the same wage, there was no occasion for them to receive the wages, and they received their wages according to agreement. Fidelity to agreement is essential in industry. Unfairness Tenancy (Mark 2:1-9).
In this parable a valuable vineyard was rented out to bushlanders. They received it in return, but shamfully treated his servants who were seen to collect rental. These entrusted them to bushlanders, who oblige to make proper returner for the contentment with Wages (Luke 3:14).
One of the chief difficulties in the industrial world today is discontent on strike and make demands as to the conditions of work. To take account of the conditions of business even to the extent of poling on strike and make demands as to the conditions of work, to meet. Contentment with wages cannot mean that one should not be ambitions to prepare himself for a V. Recipient Duties of Servants and Masters (Rql. 6:59). L. servants are to be obedient to the V. Recipient Duties of Servants and Masters (Rql. 6:59).
This obedience should be (1) "with fear and trembling; that is, the servant should have a proper regard for his master and an earnest desire to please him. (2) With singleness of heart, Servans should perform their tasks as though doing them for Christ's sake. (3) Not with eye service. Acceptable service should be honest, not merely to please the eye of the one who looks on, but as unChrist. (4) With good will. This is pressed the spirit of service. It should be purerly to be approval or paid to Christ in services will perform their duties with the same fidelity as they would unto Christ. (5) Rewarded by the Lord (v. 8). The Lord takes account of our service in the common rounds of life and will one day reward us accordingly.
2. Masters to be considerable (v. 8). Just as servants are to give whole hearted consideration to their masters, so masters are to look out for the best interests of their servants (1). Masters should desist from threatening. (2) They should be impartial in dealings with their servants.
4. Responsibility of the Rich (1 Tim 6:17-19).
Riches are possible to Christians but most perilous. God charges such a lot. Not to be hian-minded; that is to have a sense of superiority.
2. Not to trust in the uncertainty of riches.
(1) To do good. Not for solicit
certification but for the welfare of
the people (2) To do work. (3) The job is under
obligation to minister 15 the poor and the
welfare.
Intolerable Pride
I think hate the troubles for which we go snoring in order to God are caused by their intolerable pride. Many of our curves are, but a world of ours is not. We call our blessings get molly and we call our blessings - Bess-ber.
Preparedness
He is to be pined, indeed, who has seen better days ahead of him yet has no preparation for living them better.
A major development in Texas is that of the quarry industry and the value of Texas stone for building materials seems appreciably increasing. The quarry project is that of Texas Quarry, a company ening up a big plant near Round Rock and planting a mile of矿 track, drilling bolted chines and installing other equipment from way out $5,000 across it has under leser. The company has offices in Austin and a finishing plant costing $800,000.

SEGREGATION IS OUTLAWED BY OHIO COURT
Columbus, Ohi o.—(ANP)—The case of Joseph E. Bulen against Daisy Hall Rice, which has been pending in our Common Pleas Court for over six years, and in which the plaintiff, backed by the Columbus Real Estate Board, sought to enforce against the defendant a vicious condition printed into the deeds of the Bulen Main Street Allotment, to the effect that no lots should ever be sold to a person with an admixture of African blood in their veins, was brought to trial this week under the guidance of Alexander H. Martin of Cleveland, who appeared as counsel for the defendant.
The defendant purchased property
at a vacant lot in one of the nicest, residential
properties in the neighborhood being a
residential property. She valued and
valued at upwards of $22,000.
She has lived in Columbus all her life

with reference to, or because of the holdings of Mrs. Rice therein. Nevertheless, Mrs. Rice must oust Mrs. Rice from her holdings, the contention being that a Negro could not purchase or be the necessary operation of the aforesaid condition, to defeat his title. Mrs. Rice brought to trial before Judge Cowan of Belmont County, sitting by designation in Franklin County, and being relied strongly upon certain decisions from various slave states where such restrictions have, to some extent, been imposed. Judge Cowan sent the decisions of the courts of the District of Columbia. At the close of the case, Judge Cowan sent the motion for a directed verdict on the case to the defense, interposed a motion for a directed verdict on the case to the defense, interposed a cable to the citizens and property of Ohio that would justify the court in entertaining the case as made upon evidence on behalf of the plaintiff numerous arguments, interpreting the appropriate sections of the state and federal constitutions, and the legality of the complaint, and status and rights of the colored citizens. Judge Cowan, after due consideration, sustained Mr. Martin's motion to oust Judge Cowan and turned the case out of court.

New York City.—(ANP)—Breaking her long silence on matters political, Mrs. George S. Williams, national committeewoman for Georgia, denounced here Friday what she termed the growing influence of "lily-whitism" in her state. Mrs. Williams was reelected to her post at the Kansas City convention last June at the same time former National Committeeman Ben Davis was defeated. The national committeeman's place has remained vacant.
Although she has been an attendant at the meetings of the committee and at the committee, the Republican national committee headquarters in Washington, Mrs. Williams has not been permitted any voice in the selection of office holders in her state. She has made numerous recommendations. All of which have been ignored, she claims. Patronage in Georgia has been in the hands of a picked white committee headed by Internal Revenue Collector Rose, and Negro leaders of the state have not been consulted by either state or national party officials, Mrs. Williams said.
Until this time Mrs. Williams has maintained a discreet silence. Despering of any change and failing she says to even get a reply to her letter, she determined to protest publicly.
"The party of Lincoln and Roosevelt has received a shocking spanking fliet with the than as in Virginia and the party of American progress and equality cannot form a lion with an elephant." "Negro citizens welcome the unpopular."

this sacrifice. The Republican party from the state House down, now in Florida, North Carolina, and Texas is running a liberal, free-trade liberal. It knows now that the South is again solidly Democratic in its political composition. It "knows that it cannot look forward to 1932 and balance the Democratic Party in North. It realizes that if a Republican governs, it must be through a clean and capable pro-leadership of the only real Republican in Dixie—the black Republican.
"This is the firm foundation for Mr. Hovett, who is not only impossible but as useful as it is treacherous to party principles. The Republican party is to be kept in line a policy should be adopted, capable Nega leadership in the South and rewarding with an important Nega honorate in the important Nega honorate of the North. I can defy the accusing finger of graft and corruption, as a member of the Republican public leaders who can do likewise. As a member of the Republican public officials of the party in Georgia, I will vote to hold the Republican to honest project and nourish its black wing if it is to continue to dominate the country's Mrs. Williams feels resentful against Cindy Huston, newly elected secretary of the only one who has ignored her correspondence.

Racial segregation is the one persistent, dominant, or perhaps better still predominant, trait of the white man's mind. It takes on different forms of manifestation according to race and its associated circumstances, but the same separates the different forms it all. The Negro is penned up in separate churches, schools, cars, residential areas, and in his own circle of social and pleasurable intercourse. Race leaders of excitable temper are seized with hysteria upon the appearance of each fresh mode of manifestation. But all of this emo-thetic man hysterically outburst have little or no effect upon its own sweepward.

FOSTERING INTERRACIAL AMITY
Despite all of our violent protestation, churches are becoming more distinctively divided on lines of race, separate schools are moving Northward, and churches are through the land, city residential areas are being more sharply set apart. There seems to be no power at our disposal by which we can prevent its stubborn and persistent operation. We may indeed hinder and obstruct the work of churches or recourse to law but cannot materially affect its effect. Appeal to Christianity, democracy and enlightened self-interest of the white are plainly patient anyone who will disillusionate long enough to look around and see.
The colossal song pageant staged last Friday night in the Cotton Palace Coliseum at Waco, sponsored by the Waco News-Tribune and Waco Times-Herald, the two white daily newspapers of Waco, as a Christmas present to their many readers in that section of the state, not only was the most mammoth event of its kind ever pulled off in the South, or America, but the occasion did more in advancing the cause of better relations between the two races in this state than any single movement projected in Texas since the emancipation of the Negro from human bondage. Both races were represented by all elements, ranging from the governor of the state and other state officials to the humble domestic servant. Thousands of these white auditors had never seen the better and best type of Negro in such large numbers, and it goes to reason that many of them had certain fixed notions about the black man made for suspicion, mistrust, misunderstanding and prejudice.
It would indeed be an engaging essay to undertake a rational analysis of the situation, and determine, if possible, the deep-seated cause of an admitted evil for which there seems to be no cure; and also to seek modes of relief, in default of permanent remedy. But this is not my present position. I am aware, in some of the subtitles and recent contexts of the sorgenteic tendencies.
However, the appearance of these race singers and the manner in which they were dressed and the way they deported themselves both on and off stage, had a salutary effect upon many whites who had previously regarded all Negroes in the same unfavorable light.
In such a mammoth gathering as witnessed this song fete, there were some, doubled, who came out of curiosity; but if any came to jeer they left singing the praises of the promoters and the singers.
Indeed, it was a gala night for Waco and Central Texas, and notwithstanding the fact that a heavy rain fell prior to and during the concert, the capacity of the coliseum was taxed and more expensive than the entrance into the building; for there was no more room for them.
The universal method of the philanthropists and well disposed white friends is to aid and encourage the Negro in building up his own separate institutions so as to make him a member of the white community and relieve whit institutions of the institution of black association. Perhaps the most perfect pattern of this philosophy is found in the Young Men's Christian Association type of philanthropy. Recognizing the inevitable buildings and facilities are provided by the Negro for the sake of conscience for keeping Negroes out of white associations. The scheme has worked so perfectly that today a Negro in New York, Philadelphia Washington or Chicago would hardly dare dream of seeking full member ship in a white association. This type of philanthropy is the philanthropic offset.
In fact, Governor Dan Moody and his party had difficulty getting into the coliseum, and only got in after strenuous effort on the part of the promoters who pressed policemen and firemen into service to halt the rushing mob at the entrance where the governor's party entered.
In a discussion the program said its conclusion, Governor Moody stated that it was the most unusual event of its kind he had ever witnessed.
Aside from the singing of the Harry T. Burleigh Harmony Club of Fort Worth, the G. S. Conner Choral Club of Waco, and the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club of Houston, who participated in a no-decision triple choral contest, the singing of the 700-wave chorus was the most unusual of its type ever heard in Texas and the South, yea, in America, and we are not covering too much territory when we make this assertion.
It was, by far, the best trained large chorus we have heard and hold the mammoth audience captivated from the opening number "O. Every Time I Feel the Spirit," until the closing selection, Swing Lions, which was the most massed choir in the three chorus organizations.
Without any ethical pretensions, but on the basis of profit only, the theater management has imitated the same method. Handsomely appointed theaters are established in Negro playhouses and the theater management of Negroes. The same plays are placed on the bills as appear in the play-houses for white patrons only. The reserved understanding being always that Negroes will become satisfied with the conveniences provided for them, and will not pouch on the bills. Negroes will be used to go to the theater every week as part of my education, when there was no hard and fast racial distinction made in the Playhouse playhouses. But within recent years no self-respecting colored person can go to any theater except those which the theater management for their exclusive entertainment.
Much has been said and written about effecting more amicable relations between the white and colored races in this state, but the Waco song pagent made a very substantial and far-reaching contribution in this particular field of human endeavor. The Waco song has been used to facilitate the management of the Waco News-Trubue and Waco Times-Herald as well as Dr. G. S. Conner, D. W. Cain and B. T. Wilson, Jr. (the latter three being the colored men largely responsible for the musical success of the venture) for giving to Texans this unprecedented and unparalleled program of original Negro music; and the musicians will not be the last effort of this kind in the Lone Star State.
MORE TROUBLE IN NEGRO REPUBLIC
The daily newspapers are, "playing up" the alleged "uprising" or "riot" in Hati, the Negro republic over which the United States rules with armed forces, and whose imperialistic reign, in the name of the United States, is in formenting civil strife and insurrection in this insular nation.
I have been greatly amused by our inconsistency. A little comedy makes the tragedies of life a little less tragic. It is absolutely impossible for any Negro to be consistent. A Negro must be consistent in separate schools, a Negro preacher declaiming against racial churches, a Negro insurance agent denouncing separate race enterprises, a Negro condemning residential segregation while simultaneously encouched in the apartment, a department, would make the gods laugh.
It seems that a strike of students, who are tired of the rule of the present president of Haiti, who was never elected to his office by popular vote, but who was placed there and has retained office mainly through American bayonets, precipitated the trouble; and when it appeared that the disorder was becoming anti-American, Uncle Sam rushed additional troops down there to "put and keep the Haitians in their places."
That the United States has made a bungling job of trying to supervise the governmental administration of Haiti, goes without saying; and this program of misrule and maladministration has been going on merilily since President Wilson first dispatched the troops to the island in 1914. In the wake of the latest domestic "uprising," President Hoover has recommended that congress authorize the appropriation of $50,000 to finance a commission to study the Haiti situation and submit its findings, with a view of determining definitely America's policy toward this black country.
M. Rockefeller recently built a magnificent apartment house for Nerges only. No whites need apply. Among its most satisfied and enthusiastic tenants are some of the most bitter and outspoken declamants against residential segregation. The tragedy of the situation has dulled their sense of humor. I am not now a praiser or blaming, commending or condemning, but am merely describing a lamentable and pathetic situation.
Much of this trouble could be obviated if the United States would permit the Haitians to function as untrammeled citizens, to hold a national election in keeping with their constitution and to be given the right to vote to submit to superimposed leadership of the American brand. The Haitians claim that their present chief is simply the willing and pliable tool of the United States, and particularly the vested interests of this country, who are using Borneo as a human instrumentality for the exploitation of the black subjects of this
The most recent form in which we observe the operation of the subtilies of the spirit of segregation is seen in the business world. The Jews, who seem to control business in Negro communities, are now making such business establishments more enticing and attentive. In several cities
Without ascribing the main cause for these repeated disturbances under the reign of President Borno, present titular head of the republic, the American press endeavors to create the impression that the Haitians, being black, are nothing but "hell raisers" and unworthy of self-government, self-determination and self-
they have agreed to employ Negro clerks and other assistants in such enterprises. We learn of such movements in Chicago, New York, Detroit and Washington. Sychronous with the Negro customers and fastidious houses in the business centers are covertly or overly discouraging Negro patronage. In Baltimore and Washington a number of the leading stores have frankly denied the Negro customers that their patronage is no longer wanted. One might well imagine the Jewish merchant among themselves which one will and which will not encourage Negro patronage. The Negro stands distraught between two opposing tendencies of thought: "Whether it be noble in the mind to suffer the alligs and arrows attacked by a sort of trouble, or take an arrogant a sort of trouble, and by opposing them."
THE MIRROR

ness the gridiron game between Prairie View Panthers and Samuel Huston 26-40, the opposing 20-6, as the guest of O, D. DeWalt, in his Packard coupe, information was conveyed to us that the game will be a women's conference will pass on Wiley Huston's claims to the conference.
According to the dope, Wiley used or two infield players during the game, and the gridirons are alleged to be indispleasing according to conference rules, our inquiries for eleven for five years, when the conference rules only allow four years, it is further stated that Samuel Huston's games will also be thrown when he is regarded as indispleasing using James Dorn, Houston gridiron. When he is regarded as indispleasing it. It seems unfair to wait until there is very little glory attached to a conference title which must be brought down, after the game is effected by the out games won during the regular season by certain events.
If Cavil, Dorn, LaMott and others were disqualified for participation in this season, their officials should have acted in advance of such ituas and not after the Wild-Goals game, when the team have closed a successful season. If conference teams insist upon employment of players, then their gamenes should be cancelled when played and then contested, with the resultant throwing out of such vicinity, and then the team should such impleible players. If conference officials are all direed of a little backbone, stamina and courage when name ought to be pressured. Of course, all this may be more rumor, but such things have been done in this conference before, which

The stock market has crashed.
Thousands have lost everything and many thousands more will spend a inevitable Christmas. The crashes are inevitable in an unhealthy bull market inspired by ignorance and greed.
The graduality of getting "back to normality." The big capitalists have purchased millions of shares, the stock ceased to flounder and is on the upgrade.
A time national confidence in the future of prosperity was shaken. It had to be restored. Timidity and uncontainment, under-commercial loss, slowing up of industry, followed by the inevitable unemployment followed by the resultant crop of business failures.
To avert this President Hoover assembled a group of leading business leaders, who came up with ways and means of averting a business depression. These men were not united but were united by a common bond of interest in the economic future of the world.
Following the advice of Foster and Catchings in "The Road to Plenty," we are reminded of the inauguration of a gigantic building program that will absorb all work of employment by the far-reaching courage of merchants and manufacturers, restore the public confidence in the economic structure and maintain economic growth in the property.
All of which somewhat parallels the case of the Anathema H. He is receiving many bad breaks. Some it seems as if he is facing a crisis that begins to question whether he is going forward or standing still. The Negro cannot afford to go "back to normality." That what he wants to do is better in every field of endeavor. Just as Business is striving to restore the Negro to its former better in every field of endeavor.
The Negro strive to obtain fair play from the majority group as a matter of course.
Most white people are still greens ignorant concerning, the Negro ignorant concerning, the Negro offspring of ignorance; injustice, exploitation and lynching spring from fear. It is up to the Negro to dispel through to sound and effective propaganda. It is up to the Negro to down the race prey. It is up to the present-day Negro to spare the future generation from pending struggle we have experienced. Many of our best white friends who were so helpful in giving sound advice to our children have port and powerful influence have passed away. New ones in increasing numbers cause the Negro group in America will never be strong enough physically, intellectually or financially to iso-erate. We have greater sympathy and understanding between the two so-called races and we will put our minds and money squarely behind a program of building up esteem, respect and understanding for our potentials and our potentials as an integral part of our society.
To this end our people of intelligence and vision, regardless of religious faith, sectional prejudices, prejudiceful or alma matres must labor diligently. The program requires intelligen-training, experience and—money.
There is plenty of intelligence in our group; we have so much money to invest in summer staging fraternal fraternal campaigns, and the organization, at hand with trained, experienced and nationally respected propagandists already at work in the field, assine and enervating prejudices and put our shoulders (or pocket-books) to the wheel.
We have bagged in the misunderstanding, the "Talented Tenth" of Aframerica, who boast of their race, patriotism and group loyalty, will be to blame.

FAULT FINDING
It is very easy to find fault. A man needs no special equipment for this business. Without brains, without experience, he can fail for this pursuit of general destruction, while appreciation moves along higher lines, requiring the greatest mental qualities of heart and mind.
Trees produced in 1922 lined value at $751,729 from plants in Comal County and $222,926 from counties. It quarried and sold $2,822,949 worth of stone, mostly limestone, by road, with little interest in building with granite and granite for building purposes.
Four new minerals heretofore known in Texas have been found by the Bureau of the Interior government, results of which are reported by the Big Spring Herald.
A pot of unused commercial minerals was found in the twelfth well were found the new minerals—amphibious, nyrite,
bute to the ability of T. B. Wilson, who trained and directed that enormous vocal orchestra. He swayed and gestured before them for all the world like a John Philip Sousa, and drew the music from their throats.
Those Negroes moaned in minors. They roared in bass. They trilled in high soprano. They made the audience sway gently to the terrific sweetness of such songs as "Balm In Gilead," and when the rattling lift of "Get on Board, Little Chilluns," or of "Dixie," swung out over the crowd, a glance down the wide aisle showed dozens of feet, stretched into the open space for comfort, patting time, time, time, while scores of heads bobbed, bobbed, bobbed to the music.
Soothing Music
The singers had the crowd. Those on the outside, who thundered at the crowd, were the ones who just a taste of the music which America has drawn out of Africa. It was soothing music. It was the arrival of Governor Dan Moody and his party in the capital, and the reserves for them, the coliseum was thrown in darkness, stage lights went up and from behind the curtain came the crowd. There were two verses of "My Country, The Thesie." As if it were one person, the crowd spotlight played on the governor until completion of the two verses. Then the crowd raised slowly and the choir—women in white and men in black—started the opening song. The crowd raised slowly and the Spirit. The initial number marked the hour's program an outstanding
Beautiful and Effective
The singers put on one very effective "siunt." About half way through the program, the 700 on the stage, under dimming lights, started swaying back and forth and humming. "Old Black He." It was a beautiful hum, and worth a whole lot merely as that was from, from stage, came a far away voice, joining them. "I'm coming," And by and by, while the high-banked chorus still swayed and hummed, Old Black Joe himself tottered from the wings, trembling on rickety cane. He came down the stepper under a spotlight and walked into the audience. The lights went out on the stage, and 700 voices followed him with the spotlight around the west side of the coliseum flood and to the central entrance, while he sang his swan song, the swan song of the old Negro. It took the audience by storm. "Singin' in the Rain" was a timely song. The Fort Worth Choral Club selected it. The singers garbed themselves in yellow stickers, looking like dusky replicas of the film stars in the "The Hollywood Revue," and made music to the popular tune, while the actual rain pattered outside. This was the best thing the Fort Worth delegation put on.
When the curtain rose, the stage presented a striking picture. The singer was dressed in a dozen queens' ball still framed the stage. The singers were ranged in a dozen front and on the left, and the men, clad in dark clothes, on the top rows, center and left. The women far outnumbered the men, were much more in evidence, the men furnishing a deep undertone which was much more audible as amply perceptible. Members of the three competing choral groups in dresses of various colors, in contrast to the universal white of the singers, would rise to sing, and settle down again with a great bobbing of hips. Willem took his bows of a season
Leader's Mother Proud
The leader is a son of B. T. Wilson principal of the Negro high school in Chicago, who gave her son perform. "I'm mighty progenie of her," she remarked to one who congratulated her on his work for the movie.
The program of singing opened with "America!," the song she performed, led by Dr. C. B. Johnson, took the center of the stage. They put on a once with old Southern melodies, sung as only Negroes can sing them. They climax the medley, they rattled into the stage. The song was reminiscent of old times in Texas, drowning out the very excellent. Then they sang, "Balm in Gilead." This song was clamitously sung by the musicians, broke the haunting spell of it by a typical chant about "Get Aboard Little Chillin'," reciting the way to the ocean. Then came the "Old Black Joe" episode, followed immediately by "I know the Lord Has Loved Hands."
Fort Worth Club Sings
The Harry T. Burleigh Harmony Club of Fort Worth took on the ennobled, interesting spirituals, then disappeared to acquire their yellow slickers hats and came back to give "Singing." The chorus then started that famine and always popular spiritual "fairy tale," and fall of the melody as it swayed and gaudy trappings collapsed in gaudy trappings queens of decorations, was one of the high spots probably more than anywhere else the team work of the Negro singers. The George S. Conner Choral Club of Worth took on the most probably were the best of the club. First selection was a "Frayer of Emma Holmes" they followed this with "O, My Good Lord, Show Me the Way," which was a song, well suited, dealing to the reverence of number, drawing much applauds. A male quartet then filed out and did a song, well suited, dealing to the reverence of number, getting a good hand. The chorus goes and started on "Swing Low, Slow."
