So some worked and gained more and some were too slothful and so wiched they did not do any- thing. So I appeal to the members of this broad mis- sion field to stand for Christ, work, watch and pray; and using these phrases, you may understand them,as one duty, , But no,—you must get them senarated, you can do them all at one time, there are three senses busy—the cye, heart and hand. And when our hearts have prayed unto Our Father which art in Heaven for His kind mercies and many blessings and have been answered, then our eyes are no longer willing to look upon the filthy and black things of the world and our hands have been rightly employed. . If we expect to have a part in this life in shaping events; if we expect to be numbered among the learn- ed, the strong, the moulders of public sentiment, the masters of things rraterial, free from abject menial servitude, we must educate the people, Let this idea run all through our schools until it permeates the life of every boy, every girl, every man, every woman; making its Influence felt in every home and every clime, among all nations. SUBJECT:—“EDUCATION.” Should any one ask what special phase of the Educational Development makes me most hopeful of its ultimate triumph over present obstacles, I should answer unhesitatingly it is the magnificent work(of) the women are doing to regenerate and uplift the Race. Judge the future of education by the past, since Emancipation, and you will see the things to which tn? Race can po:nt with most pride, is the activity and progress made in the development of an ideal home lif> and the providing of a liberal education for his people. Indeed it is worthy of note that in both churen and state, there is a growing interest in behalf of ex- tending to all classes, the privileges and benefits of (the) at least a limited Education. Nations that once thought of nothing but war and conquest are throw- ing their influence in the scale of popular education. Countries that have long weilde the scepter of power, and held thousands subject to the will and ppin- ion of one man or set of men, are being aroused to the importance of individual thought and individual re- sponsibility. Churches and organizations that necessarily be- gan their work with one or two as leaders, who had tu do the thinking for hundreds of others, are now turn- ing their attention to the work of training and develop- ing the faculties and characters of éach one so as to enable him to think for himself and act intelligently. This is the spirit of the present age. In this lies the hope and destiny of all classes and all races. What? Education, yes, we are calling for a Christian educa- tion. Hence, if there be any particular problem as connected with the Co'oed race, in my opinion the solution of that problem will come only by following the rule of action applied to the uplifting and develop- ment of others, od This race is no new snecie of nature; he is no new issue in the category of life; no new element.in the citizenship of this country, and needs no special pre- scription to suit his needs, His case is one common to a people, whose surrounding and environments have p'aced, or caused them to be placed, in a dependent at- titude, and his only hope for rising above the com- eon lives of manual slave, is education,—educate your children, practice yourself the will of God! Work of the head, heart and hands. Knowledge has been the torch in the civilizers’ hand, and carrying this still, we ean find treasures still un- earthed and truths still un'earned. The glories al. ready achieved in the field of science, art and literature have but aroused us to seck for still greater honors.. The rays of light that have fallen across our pathway, giving hone and promise of better and brighter things further on, have but fired the zeal with in ua, and there is no way of gatlsfiying this burning zeal save the fasting en the coveted goal—get busy In life mahe some use of yourself here in this world below, seeking for riches beauties of wisdom.” Only those, who think, or those who seek to know the virtues of intelligence, and to enjoy the beautics of a pure and ideal life, can enter into the spirit of rejoicing over the approaching of the time when cach nerson will bo measured by what is represented in hls abilitv to exert a potent Influence in shaping the destiny of things and helping to mould public sentiment, We can no longer allow our minds te remain idol or inactive as the dead grass of the fields, it must be stirred; it must be awakened from its stupor and quickened into newness of life. Our parents were de- nied these blessings, who were the victims of slavery. But from my heart I do not believe God intends for Man's mind to remain undeveloped, He did not Intend that His creatures forever remain Ignorant. Wheie- ever He places talents there He expects to find evi- dence of giowth and increase, Hence it is our duty to educate and prerare all for the intelligent use of what God has given them, Disarmed and Driven from their homes to Ease Situation. . ae By The Negro Assoclated Press Atlanta, Ga, Jan, 29 —Ne- groes are fleeing fron Halt County Race disturbances have| been frequent in this section of the State for sometime past This condition has led to much controversy as to the hest means to ease the situation, The whites decided that on J y drastic meth- ods could be sucessfully used because the Negroes were de termined to fight theissue to a finish, This conclusion developed ine ito a wholesale disarring of the Negro population, This was ac- complished by_the Iseuirg ofa weneral seatch order of the homes and a confiscation of all firearms thus discavered, Then a'nigger drive’ was opened and the Colored people forced to flee to other parts.

We reserve the right to reject any matter for publication.—Notify us at once, when you fail to receive your paper. "No man can make me fail," was the words of Dr. S. B. Butler in his sermon last Sunday night and we weighed the thought then we thought how valuable it would be if 12 million Negroes were of the same spirit. We saw in that expression a man filled with zeal, backed up by energy and self-confidence, thoroughly mixed with pride and anchored with hope in Christ Jesus, who has shown him a vision. Then, we saw the opposing forces of the world hammering to tare down this great will, but the only result obtained is the mounting into stronger ways of success, causing the person or race to build more strongly than he or it had planned; then we thought of the poetic, who said: "Ol For a faith that will not shrink, Though pressed by every foe, etc" Then we pictured in our mind 12 Americans saying: "We will conquer every foe, we can't fail if possibilities are in our hands. We saw men and women standing up for every right of an American citizen, feeling a responsive chord telling us we are in harmony with God's purpose and the rights guaranteed by the Constitution of United States of America. Proud of the fact that we will not have to violate any law of the government to stand for full rights, keep the fire burning and the aim high Then, we again, saw a world of work to do on ourselves to rid us of work o do on ourselves to rid us LOCAL NEWS.

Think beyond pleasure and today and let the race be benefited. WE are against the "Black Face man unless God was in the plan whether on the street day or night or in a ministrel, they are only "niggers" and trying to make "niggers" out of the Negro race; it is the white man's plan to make us help him teach and train our race that it is nothing but a shame and disgrace. Then it is a fine chance for the other race to unload their guilty and disgraces.—think of the Bank robbers of Oklahoma and the street robber of St. Louis and such other similar occurances throughout this country. It should be a crime for any man to make up to disgrace any race or his own race. We would not feel the stain so keenly if they would make up to represent, the thinkers, musicians, inventors, bishops, ministers, lawyers, doctors, merchants, farmers, contractors, editors or any profession or position, where he leads or stands equal to any man, but no, we are represented under black faces as something funny for our silly expressions, uncouth manners, jail house homes, chicken and watermelon thieves, crap-shooters and robbers and anything that means a successful disgrace.

Sunday morning at 9.45 a.m. our Sabbath opened its doors again welcoming members and visitors. We had a glorious study of the lesson which was instructive and beneficial to all. The pastor enlightened along several lines in his teaching remarks which was enjoyed and helpful to all. Come and join us in our school and see and help us grow! We are moving right along in God's cause; pray for our school. Immediately following our Subbath School, our pastor took the services in charge one delivered us a wonderful sermon, text: "Boyhood of Christ." St. Luke 2:10 Subject: "Ho nelife." This sermon was indeed a treat to Sunday morning's congregation as the Dr. H. H. Edmond depicted in perfect reality of vision to earlier years of Christ. It you missed it; then it is all against you for which the writer is sorry but not to blame. Try and get there next Sunday morning without fast as the pastor, Dr Edmond is delivering a service of special sermons, until Easter Sunday. Come and hear as many of these feature lessons of the Scriptures as possible. The Epworth League Sunday evening at six o'clock was well attended by young and old. A lively time was had with the election of a few new officers which had been vacated by some eligible reason. Our Epworth League is moving on, so just get in line; looking up and putting up." If you are with us, the world is wrong and you are all right, if you are not I am sorry for you. Give the League a visit or come and join the services each Sunday at six o'clock. You are indeed given a hearty invitation by the president, Mr. O. Johnson. The evening services of public worship subsequent to the Epworth League was indeed inspiring and uplifting to all. The Dr. Edmond again appearing in the defense of God's Kingdom brought to us this message, text: "The angel of the Lord encampeth around about those that fear him and delivereth them." Psalm 34:7 Subject: "The Security of those Who Trust in God." The Pastor treated upon this passage with marked oratory, which was pronounced by the congregation as a master sermon. Indeed, he threw himself entirely into the sermon as he usually does in giving his listeners the very details of his thoughts. I have not seen you in our church yet, better come out Sund and bring someone with you if you can. The Dr. H. II. Edmond has prepared several featured sermons, which are delivered every Sabbath morning at the eleven o'clock public worship services. They last until Easter Sunday. Come out now and hear then.

Morning Sermon: "Restoration of usefulness." Luke 1:64. As the priest burned incense in the temple years ago, while their congregations bowed in prayer while the odor of the incense penetrated the audience, so a Christian life penetrates the community in which they live. God only needs such lives, that He can use regardless to position in the church or community in which they live. Some very vivid examples were made by the Pastor of the lives we as Christians should live at home or in the church. Are you or am I one of those good Christians who is without loyalty church loyalty or loyalty man to man? It has been long since a more spiritual sermon has been heard in Calvary by a Congregation so large and patient. Night Sermon, theme: "The Painting Hero." Judges 15:18. Sampson after he had killed his thousand Philistine he all but fainted of exhaustion. So it is with many a Christian's life after they have done big things for God many faint and fall by the wayside. You could all but see Sampson being tempted, but with all his uns and downs, there is one thing admirable about him and that was he knew how to pray and when. Just like the devil tempted Sampson, so he attacks any good Christian's life or even the church, but any of us can be a Sampson for God and not be a fainting hero, but stand our temptation and come out victorious. A special appeal was made to sinners. Annual Report: Subscription ..... $8,333.55 Public Offering ..... 299.75 Missions ..... 189.86 Mission Circle ..... 126.03 D. Y. P.

Washington opened S. School on time and a goodly number was on hand. Many good things were learned from the subject: "Promotion in the Kingdom." Matt. 20:17-28; and also the Golden text Matt. 20.28. Our effort in showing the affects of right and wrong ambitions was our climax with Christ's courage, reasons for Christ's crucifixion, wrong ambition and the good of Christian life should be one of service; followed with the promise rewards, and Christ the chief example of service. At 11 o'clock a. m., our minister, after praise service preached to us from 2nd Tim. 3:6. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God. Subject, the word of God. As usual our hearts leaped for joy; at the close of the sermon one soul was added to the cause. At 6:30 p. m., the B. Y. P. U. Session was opened by the assistant superintendent, Bro. U. B. Gary, in the absence of Bro. Newton who was in attendance at the Y. M. C. A., however the superintendent finally arrived and a grand session was enjoyed from the lesson taken from the 6th chapter of Acts along the line of indoctrinating; at the close, we were favored with two numbers as a program for the evening: solo by the pastor, a very interesting paper by Mrs. Cleaser E. Perry. Every one seemed to have enjoyed same. Large attendance. At 7:45 p. m., praise service opened by Bro. Radford; and the Spirit was in evidence. At 8:10 our minister Rev. J. E. Douglas, spoke from St. John 17:20,21; subject: The Aim of our Christian life. Little outlines. To make Heaven our Home to escape Hell. To have happy life, To honor and glorify God.

H. SIMMS FOOT SPECIALIST MANICURING AND PEDICURING BY LADY ATTENDANT Too Precious ..to Lie Dormant. I mean the Seminary launched last June at Topeka, Kansas, and was in actual service for one week. This project was the product of much prayer and the brain of our very esteemed and beloved missionary, Rev. Dr. J. H. Van Leu, whose life has been hazarded to foster the school that Pastors and Christian workers might be better prepared to do the work of their Master. Like many others who were able to put their plans on higher grounds succumbed ere they reaped full benefits: Dr. Simmons of Kentucky, Booker I. Washington, Paul Lawrence Dunbar and others; David once longed for a drink of water from the wells of Bethlehem and three mighty men broke through the host of Philistines drew the water and brought it to David of which Abishal was the leader; David said the water was the blood of men too precious to drink. The work of the Kansas Seminary is the blood and life of some noble characters too precious to waste. Dr. Van Leu has broken down in health and has been confined to his room for several weeks with very severe rheumatism which no doubt has been brought oh by the faithful labor he has given to the Baptist of the State. He has had many ranks to break through to put this Seminary where it is today; therefore, let us not drink it up in idleness. That beginning week will long live. Many of the Pastors and other workers attended and were compelled to say it is good to be here; therefore let us arrange for a longer term next Year. We were provided with some of the very best instructors, Rev. Dr. Denton and Dr. Sharp both teachers of the Kansas City Seminary (white) and Rev. D. Moore of Philadelphia sent to us by the Home Mission Society and besides these scholarly divines we had many of the learned Pastors of the State, who were of great assistance such as W. A: Bowren, President of the Baptist State Convention. Moderator Hays, Dr. Young, Dr. Richardson, Dr. Skinner and Cartwright and some of the best learned Sisters. It was indeed good to be there. Last but not least we never can forget how we were provided for with room and provisions under the care of Prof. G. R. Bridgeforth and his faculty. They spared no pains to make our stay pleasant. We lived better than we could at home at the price. They gave us roasting ears, cabbage, greens, potatoes, sweet milk and butter milk, eggs and butter and many other delicious things all were products of the industrial farm. This letter comes as an open advice to all religious workers to start now to put on the arouser for the coming summer school. J. Reeves. routes of the church Triumphant Justification Route, and God was with us. Mrs. M. L. Simmons left for her home in Texas. Mr. J. Knuckles is slowly improving.
