The Negro unionists issued this appeal to check an attempt to influence of the injunction to divide the organized workers on racial lines. "An examination of the records of the American Federation of Labor will show that it has always stood for justice to the Negro worker," the colored unionists said. "Please understand that, as thoughtful members of our race, conscious of its needs and problems, we are not assuming to take the position that prejudice and discrimination do not exist. But we insist that the way to remedy that condition, wherever it does exist, is not by arousing edutional antagonism by taking a stand which would be injurious to our white brothers, but ratchet, while insisting upon justice for the members of our own race, we also insist upon justice for all others. If it be true that, as members of the Illinois State Legislature, you have opposed labor legislation because of discrimination which has come to your attention, we earnestly hope that you change your attitude, so that while you continue to insist upon equality in the industrial field, you will at the same time do your utmost to promote legislation favorable to the working people of our state, and that you will thus help to minimize such racial prejudices and misunderstandings as now exist. Shall it be said, when the general assembly adjourns a few weeks hence, that the injunction-limitation bill, designed to promote the freedom which we all crave, was enacted because the Negro representatives in the law-making body voted against it? We hope not. We believe not." B. Y. P. U. Publishing Board. They elevated us with their words of encouragement, song, and addresses. Truly we can say that we were among great people in Arkansas City and they did their best to entertain us. Every home and face showed signs of special welcome for the messengers and we shall praise them for their loyalty to their church and pastor the hospitality shown to the messengers. Thus passes into history a great meeting in the great city of Arkansas City and among a great people. HAWAII AN INTER- RACIAL EXPER- IMENT STATION HAWAII AN INTER- RACIAL EXPER- IMENT STATION (Columbian Press Bureau) NEW YORK, Aug. 21—"Hawaii is not a land of hulu hulu dances, grass skirts, and ukeles," writes Dr. Albert W. Palmer in his book, "The Human Side of Hawaii." "Rather," says the author, "Hawaii is America's and the world's experiment station in interracial relationships. The sugar industry has changed Hawaii from a simply Polynesian paradise into a seething interracial pot. All the racial groups have come by invitations. From a population of 57,000 in 1872, the total has grown to 307,100, of whom 63 per cent are Asiatics, 40.8 per cent being Japanese. Hawaii is an integral part of the United States and the greatest single problem in Hawaii is the Americanization of her polygot Oriental population, especially the children, who are American citizens by virtue of their birth under the American flag in Hawaii."

Gallup is to be commended for its hospitality, and the splendid manner in which it took care of the association. When the pastors and delegates left their homes for the association in Gallup, they had no idea that cupid with his bow and arrow would be snooping around in the great business and spiritual sessions of the association, but to everybody's surprise old Dan Cupid captured his victims and at the beginning of the services of the last session of the association Sunday night, old Dan came marching down the aisle of the church, with Mrs. M.

When the Rev.

(Union News Service) CHARLESTON, MISS., Aug. 21—Jacob McMullen, 65 years old, farmer, was killed near here and Mrs. Mamie Long, his 30-year-old widowed sister, is dying of injuries received when they were crushed and flung to the floor Tuesday afternoon by a man crazed over religion. The man, Sydney Towns, was shot by the slain man's 72-year-old brother, L. N. McMullen, and is not expected to live. Towns, whose home is near the Mc Mullen place, had been acting strangely for several weeks. Tuesday morning he began beating his wife, Mattle Towns, Robert Simmons, a white man, and John Hollis, heard her screams and came o her assistance. Towns then dashed away from his cabin and made straight for the Mc Mullen home. Seizing Mr. Mullen around the waist Towns lifted him high in the air and then dashed him to the floor, crushing his skull. Mrs. Long seated beside her brother, was struggling from her chair when the crazed man seized and dashed her to the floor crushing in her skull. Simmons and Hollis, who had been pursuing Towns arrived, Neither armed. They threw themselves upon the murderer, but his strength was more than a match for the two. At this moment I. M. McMullen, aged brother of the murdered man, came into the house, seized a shotgun and fired it into the face of the crazed man. Neighbors say the murderer had been regarded as a peaceful man. Several weeks ago he became demented over religion and could talk of nothing else. Just before Hon. J. M. Marquess, P. G. S. delivered that wonderful Address, Mrs. Clara Brown sang a sweet Solo. Thursday evening was another high marked at the Form where again the public was highly entertained with harmony and thought.

Addressing southern colleges, Mrs. Bethune made a powerful plea for better understanding and fair dealing between the races, declaring that the people of her race are asking no special favors, but only the rights and opportunities to which every American citizen is entitled—the right of life, liberty, protection, education; the right o develop and achieve. "In asking for these rights," said Mrs. Bethune, "the Negro is not trying to be white. He only wants a fair chance in the race of life, that he may be his own best."

GOLDEN TEXT—Come over into Macedonia, and help us—Acts 16 9 PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul's Wonderful Vision. JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul Called to Europe INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Macedonian Call-and What It LedTo. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Hand of God in Missions 1. Forbidden by the Holy Spirit to Preach the Word in Asia (vv. 08) The inclination of Paul and his companions was to tarry in the provinces of Asia Minor preaching the Word but contrary to their inclination they were hurried along. There were many people in Asia who yet needed the Gospel. They might have reasoned what difference would it make where we preach so the Gospel is preached? We have here a fine lesson on Divine guidance. The Holy Spirit is as active and faithful in closing doors as in opening them. "The stops as well as the steps of good men are ordered of the Lord." We ought as truly to recognize God's hand in the "shut ins" as in the "open outs." 11. The Call to Macedonia (vv. 9 12) The Gospel having broken the confines of the Jewish city and country the middle wall of partition having been abolished, the time has come for it to leap across the Aegean sea and begin its conquest on another continent. Christianity thus ceased to be an oriental religion, and through the centuries has been mainly occidental. 1. The Vision (v. 0) Being hemmed in on all sides, a vision was given to Paul of a man of Macedonia pleading for help. This made plain to him the closed doors about him. In finding the Divine will we should look both ways. Before there can be any great forward movement, there must be a vision. There is no victory without a vision. 2. The Advance (vv. 10 12) As soon as the Divine way was known, they moved forward therein. Visions must be quickly translated and aggressive action taken or else they are blotted from our skies. Paul never questioned the wisdom of God nor delayed action. This is characteristic of all God's true servants. With a straight course Paul moved out of his own country to the strategic center of a new continent. III. The First Convert in Europe (vv. 13-15). The missionaries first went to Philippi and spent several days in studying conditions there. The Jewish element in this city was comparatively insignificant. So much so that they could not have a synagogue. Therefore, the devout people were not customed to worship by the river side. To this humble gathering Paul came and preached to the women assembled there. A certain woman from Thyrium named Lydia, a proselyte, believed his message and was baptized. The steps in Lydia's conversion are worthy of note, for they are typical: 1. Attendance at the Place of Worship (v. 13) Usually those whom God is calling are found at the place of prayer Lydia was a woman of wealth culture and wide experience, and yet she had need of Christ. She was seeking the heavenly light. God sends many an inquirer to the prayer meeting. 2. Listening to the Preaching of the Word of God (vv. 13-14) The instrument used in the conversion of sinners is the Word of God "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God" (Roman 10-17). It is highly important that at every prayer meeting the Word of God shall be spoken so that the Inquirer after God may find the light. 3. Her Heart Was Opened by the Lord (v. 14). Only the Lord can convert a soul. It is our business to preach the Word of God, and it is God's happiness to open the heart of the inquirer. It generation is a supernatural work. When the Gospel is preached the Spirit of God opens the sinner's heart for the reception of Christ. 4. She Was Baptized (v. 15). Every one whose heart the Lord has opened desires to confess Him in baptism. Baptism is an outward sign of inward grace. 5. Her Household Believed (v. 15). Ideal conversion cannot be conceived. When one is converted those in the house will find it out. 6. Practical Hospitality (v. 15). Those who have experienced God's saving grace are thus disposed to have part in His work by rendering aid to His ministers. True Humility True humility consists not in thinking little of oneself, but in not thinking of oneself at all.—Capt. J. Arthur Huddief. Nothing parches the soul like selfishness; the heart that feeds upon itself grows old fast.—W. L. Watkins. Our Tasks "Our tasks are easier when we pray about them."

NEGROES AND (American Negro for Congress) CHICAGO, IL. (ANIC):—According to the Negro Year Book, 1925, 26, there were in the U.S. 3,796,957 Negro children 5 to 20 years of age inclusive. Of these, 200,269, or only 51.5 per cent enrolled in schools. In 1924, according to the reports of State Superintendents of Education there were in the 16 former slave 869 Negro children of school age. Of these, 2,149,548 or 68.4 per cent, were enrolled in school. The number of Negro public school teachers in those states is 42,018. It is well known that quite a few of these teachers have not been above the eighth grade in school. Some are working for from 15 to 25 dollars per child taught under such conditions in this supposedly enlightened country does not speak well for its enlightment. And still the missionaries are anxious to go to China and Africa to teach the "poor heathens." In the so-called ex-slave states is a good place for these missionaries to lot off some of their sudplus energy. THE MARSHALL LUMBER CO. 1945 N. Lawrence EVERYTHING FOR THE BUILDER LOOK! LOOK! LOOK!
