Bishop John Hurst or the A. M. E. Church, in a statement a few days ago urging all Negroes to support Lafollette, and Wheeler. "Whatever Mr. Davis, the Democratic candidate, may state as to his personal position on the klan, no sensible colored man will imagine for a moment that he can in any sense wipe out or offset his party's record." Bishop Hurst continued, "as for the Republican party, 60 years ago the party of Abraham Lincoln, it has now been taken over bodily by the klan in the North. It is openly the klan party in at least a dozen eastern states. Lafollette, on the other hand, is the only candidate who has come out vigorously against the klan in words that no one can mistak. "The progressives are pledged to the withdrawal of our occupation from Haiti. Mr. Lafollette has fought vigorously against this infamous crime in every way and from every tandpoint, the progressive movement opens the door of hope to the colored American as at no time in a generation."

Porter MR. BEN.PAULIN FAILED TO IM- PRESS NEGROES In a private mass meeting at Atty Jas. Spears' office, with some of the best thinkers of the race present; they listened with marked interest to see if in some way they could discover a spark of hope for the race and the freedom of Kansas. He was very reserve and careful about his position and would not commit himself fully against the K. K. K., but seems to think they should have a place in the government to prove their worth. He could not see where they hindered the Negro in anyway. He seems to be ignorant of their activities against the Negroes' educational and economis conditions. He said: he would be against them if he could believe it. We are now wondering, if he would make us a governor since he can't view it from our angle; when he is so ignorant of the activities of the biggest movement in America. We are still wondering if as a race will not be ruined before his eyes shall become opened. Mr. White seems to be more clear on these issues. White is right we are still believing until further notice. New Hope News. Sunday morning, all whose please it was to attend Sunday School, had cause for rejoicing on account of a greater, brighter vision of God's word. At eleven a. m., Rev. B. L.

There was a good sized congregation assembled at 3:00 p. 14. when Rev. Chas. Morris, Field Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board, was introduced by our minister. A Scripture Lesson was read from Psa. 103. Dr. Morris' text and subject follow; Psa. 68:31, "God's Great Promise To Ethiopia'." What a wonderful speaker he proved to be; his language was flowery, his oratory eloquent, historical review was fine and he certainly preached the Word. His discourse was well received. Dr. Morris and Dr. East are engaged in the same great work. At the evening service, Psa. 107 was read for a Scripture Lesson, Rev. B. L. Marchant, our pastor preached a noted-worthy sermon, which should cause Christian's to think and act. The text and subject follow:—Gen. 15:1, "Watch the Sacrifice and Drive The Fowels Away."

Although no official recognition was adopted by the convention the Supreme Council voted its policy of co-operation after hearing a report of the legal aspects of the situation arising from the similarity in names of the two organizations which existed until recently. The United Supreme Council changed its name in order to distinguish it from the organization meeting here. In apreciation of this action and to put itself on record for racial toleration the Council decided to adopt an attitude of Co-operation which was generally fo't would be advantageous both for Negroes and the community at large.

Sunday School Lesson (By REV P H FITZWATER, DD, Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) D. 1924 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for October 19 THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER LESSON TEXT—Mark 4 1-20. GOLDEN TEXT—The power soweth the word—Mark 4 14 PRIMARY TOPIC—The Garden of the Heart JUNIOR TOPIC—Good Boll for Good bird INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How to Receive and Use Gods Word YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—How May I Improve the Soil of My Heart? The method of teaching by parables was not employed by Jesus until the rulers had set their hearts against Him. When, in the light of His won- diful works, they turned against Him and attributed His works to the Devil (Mark 3:22) He demanded them in washing terms and began to teach them by parables in fulfilment of Isaiah 6:10. The parable method of teaching makes clear the truth to those who love it and conceals it from those who dislike it. A great multitude gathered to Him at the seaside (v. 1), so that, in order to escape the pressure of the crowd, he was obliged to enter a boat. From the boat as a pulpit he taught many things in parables. In this parable the power and the seed are the same in all instances, but the results are entirely different. The difference lies in the condition of the soil. The central purpose of the teaching of this parable is to show that the results of preaching the Word depend upon the condition of the human heart. 1. The Wayside (1v, 4; 15). The wayside means the track beaten down by the hoofs of animals and the foot of men. Because the soil was unbroken and uncultivated the seed could not get beneath the surface, therefore was devoured by the fowls that came along (v. 4). The great truth taught here is that the heart unbroken and hard is not fit soil for the Gospel. Such a heart it penetrates not, but lies loosely upon the surface. It is not recognized as God's means for restoring them unto Himself. While in this condition the evil one finds some way to snatch away the truth. The fowls that devour the seed represent the agents of Satan (v. 15). II. The Sony Ground (vv. 5, 0; 16, 17). This means not stones mixed with soil, but stones with a thin layer of soil on them. With such conditions a seed springs up quickly and likewise scratches quickly, as it has not much depth. The great lesson is that heaths are perficiently impressed receive the Word with joy, but when affliction or persecution arises for the Word a sake, immediately they are offended. They either away and die. III. The Thorny Ground (vv. 7; 18 19). In this case the ground is good, but has thorns in it. It is mellow enough and has sufficient depth, but has not been stained of the thorns. Such usually hear the Word, but "the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the loss of other things enering in, choke the Word, and it besometh unfruitful" (v 10). The thorny ground hearers of this age are those: 1. Who are so immersed in worldliness, business and anxious cases that the good seed cannot mature. 2. Who are rich. Anxious care in business brings riches and the effect of riches is to blunt the spiritual perception of men and women, thereby underling them unsusceptible to the call of good, to higher things in life. 3. Who are running after the pleasures of life. All these things choke the Word. Many of the enjoyments of the world may be innocent in them selves, but they attract so much attention and consume so much energy and time that one has not time for Bible reading, meditation and prayer. IV. The Good Ground (vv. 8: 20). This ground differs from all the rest it is soft and mellow, deep and moist; therefore, is capable of bringing forth fruit, some an hundred, some sixty, and some thirty-fold, indicating different degrees of fruitfulness even of the good ground. In the measure that the heart is kept free from worldliness, riches and pleasure, the good seed matures. Blaming Nature You fall into the very common mistake of charging upon nature matters with which she has not the smallest connection, and for which she is in no way responsible. Men talk of nature as an abstract thing, and lose sight of what is natural while they do so.—Dickens Opportunity; Responsibility If God writes "opportunity" on one side of open doors, He writes "responsibility" on the other side.—J.

We entered the Tabernacle at the west end, took our stand on a level with the pulpits and almost at the base of the renowned organ.
