Hacon TH FOR Vol. 18, No. 46, MEAR ROLAND HAYE IDEA THAT A GOOD GOD SENDS MAN TO HELL IS DAMABLE IDEA THAT A GOOD GOD SENDS MAN TO HELL IS DAMABLE SELT-BRANDED 'INFIDEL' FLAYS KELIGIOUS HYPOCRITES AND BIGOTS FROM PULPIT Luther Burbank, famous plant wizard who styles himself as an "infidel" took the pulpit of a San Francisco church to explain his ideas of religion. Those who came to the service seeking a thrill got it when the beloved old man of the coast tore into the religious hypocrites with a vengeance; those seeking religion heard of a vast religion of Love. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31—(AP) Luther Burbank, the noted horticultur. at of Santa Rosa, Cal., spoke as the pulpit guest of the First Congregational Church here this morning, and declared "the idea that a good God would send people to a burning hell is utterly damable to me." Rev. James L. Gordon, pastor of the church, in introducing Mr. Burbank, said he would follow the horticulturist's wish, and not call him famous, but simply Luther Burbank. "And he is our pulpit guest because we love him," Rev. Gordon added. The white-haired horticulturist, who recently announced that he was an "infidel," read his message from a prepared manuscript. Mr. Burbank was invited to speak from the pulpit several weeks before he announced that he was an "infidel." Love Is his Creed. "I love everybody; I love everything," said Mr Burbank. "I love humanity. It has been a constant delight, during all my 77 years of life, and I love all the works of nature." The text of Mr. Burbank's talk follows: "I love everybody! I love everything! Some seem to make mistakes, but everything and everybody has something of value, or they would not be here. "I love humanity; it has been a constant delight, during all my 77 years of life: And I love flowers, trees and animals, and all the works of nature, as they pass before us in time and in space. "What a joy it is when you have made a close-working co-partnership with nature, helping her to produce, for the benefit of mankind, new forms, colors and new perfumes in flowers which were never known before; and fruits in form, size, color and flavor, never before seen on this globe, with rains of enormously increased productiveness, whose fat kernals are stored with more and better nourishment, a veritable storehouse of perfect food. New food for all the world's untold millions, for all time to come. "All plants, animals, and men, are already in eternity, traveling across the face of time, whence, we know not; whither, who is able to tell? Let us have one world at a time, and let us make the journey one of joy to our fellow passengers, and just as convenient and happy for them as we can, and trust the rest as we trust life. "Let us read the Bible without the ill-fitting colored spectacles of theology, just as we read other books, using our own judgment and reason listening to the voice within, not to the noisy babble without. Most of us possess discriminate reasoning powers. Can we use them, or must we be fed by others, like babes?" "I love especially to look in the deep, worshipful, liquid eyes of Bonita, my dog, whose devotion is as profound and lasting as life itself. But better yet, I love to look into the fearless, honest, trusting eyes of a child, who so long has been, by the theloo- TO THE LNTIRE COMMUNITY UPON ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO THE POYS, AS POTENTIAL CITIZENS. The Parent 'Teachers' Association of L'Ouverture School, held its Annual Meeting, Thursday night at the school. Some three hundred patrons, friends, children and teachers met at 8 o'clock. Music was furnished by the Coloridge Taylor Conservatory Glee Club: men and women. The main address was delivered by W. L. Hutcherson, Secretary of Y. M. C. A. The discussion was shared in by several persons. Several new persons joined the Association. A HEARING From Rev. and Mrs. C. B. Burton (Mrs. Burton was formerly Miss Nettie Fay Oliver, of this city) are now in their new home, a beautiful stucco bongalow, which they have recently purchased at 3937 3rd Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minn., and send greetings to their many friends back in the Sunflower State. giants, conceived and born in sin, and predamned at birth. Do you believe all our teachers without question? I cannot. We must 'prove all things, and hold fast to that which is good.' Word Infidel Harmless "Uuripides long ago said: 'Who dares not speak his free thought is a slave.' I nominated myself as an 'infidel' as a challenge to thought for those who are asleep. The word is harmless if properly used. Its stigma has been heaped upon it by unthinking people, who associate it with the bogeye devil, and his malicious works. The devil has never concerned me as I have always used my own conscience, not the dictum of any cult. "If my word has awakened thought in narrow bigots and petrified hypocrites, it will have done its appointed work. The universal voice of science tells us that if we misuse this wonderful body, mind, or the all-pervading spirit of good, that the consequences fall upon ourselves, here and now. Why not accept these plain facts and guide our lives accordingly? We must not be decived by blind leaders of the blind, calmly expecting to be 'saver' by any one, except by the kingdom within ourselves. "The truly honest and brave ones know that if saved, it must be by their own efforts. The truth hurts for a while, as when an old useless tooth is removed, but health and happiness may be restored by the painful removal of the disturbing member, "Idea of Hell Is Damable" "I reiterate: The religion of most people is what they would like to believe, not what they do believe, and a very few stop to examine its foundation. The idea that a good God would send people to a burning hell is utterably damnable to me. The ravings of insanity; superstition gone to seed. I don't want to have anything to do with such a god. I am a lover of man, and Christ as a man, and his work, and all things that help humanity, but nevertheless, just as He was an infidel then I am an infidel today. I prefer, and claim the right, to worship the infinite, everlasting Almighty God of this vast universe, as revealed to us gradually, step by step, by the demonstrable truths of our savior science. "Do you think Christ or Mohammed, Confucius, Baal or even the gods of ancient mythology are dead? Not so. Do you think Pericles, Marcus Aurelius Moses, Shakespeare, Spinosa, Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Empedocles, Humboldt, Darwin, Tolstoi, Franklin, Emerson are dead? No. Their very personalities live, and will live forever, in our lives, and all who are to follow us. All of them are with us today. No one lives who is not influenced, more or less, by these great ones, according to capacity of the cup of knowledge, which they bring to these ever-flowing fountains to be filled."—Clipping. WICHITA, KANSAS. FRIDAY, Feb. 19, 1926. SMCKY HILL RIVER HOLDS SECOND BOARD MEETING The St. James Baptist Church, pastored by Rev. F. M. Liggins, Emporia, Kansas, was the place for the last Institutional Board Meeting of the Smoky Hill River Missionary Baptist Association, with Rev. G. F. Raimey, Moderator, and Mr. Lewis N. Grimes, General Secretary. An extra large number present and a wonderful institute was held. Rev. J. R. Richardson of Kansas City, Kansas, took care of the Biblical instructions at the opening of each session. Revs. F. M. Liggins and J. W. Johnson gave some strong demonstration from the blackboard. Rev. A. G. Mason, C. W. Wilson, M. T. Waters, J. Moore, A. W. Ross, and J. R. Richardson preached powerful sermons; seemingly the spirit of the Lord was with them. The papers were inspiring rendered by Mrs. Montez Brown on Temperance; also the welcome address; "How to Develop Leaders" by Bro. B. F. Taylor; "The Neecesity of Trained Teachers In the Sunday School;" by Rev. G. D. Pratt; "Mission Circle Work in the Church Program;" by Mrs. Bertha Moore; Each paper was strong in its reasonings and instructions and brought forth much discussion on the different phases of the work and guarding of the race for the good of the kingdom. Each officer was on hand to take up his part of the work and pull off his part in fine shape. The editor of the official organ of the state, and Mr. M. Livingston were present to lend their strength in putting over this wonderful program. We found Mrs. W. E. Carter just recovering from pneumonia, but many other faithful sisters and brethren, willing and ready servants that our stay would be pleasant. The next Board Meeting will be held in Russell, Kansas, and the next Association; Annual Session will go to Junction City, the Moderator's Church. HOW CAN THE B.Y.P.U.BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY? Brother Moderator, Pastor, Co-Workers and friends:— The B. Y. P. U., can be made a drawing card in any community by interesting the young people in the training for service and leadership. A B. Y. P. U., is a priceless auxiliary in any community. Where there is no Union, there is a Young People's Problem. Almost any child with the thought of becoming a leader will put forth every effort within himself to accomplish this aim. Where he can be best benefitted, he will most often be found. The Union should appeal to every young Baptist, as a school wherein he might learn everything of value to him in leading. One interested, leads to group, hence to community. When a B. Y. P. U., is spiritually, socially and financially alive, there you will find a Community of standard-worth. It will not be lacking in workers nor in morals. This Community will find its young people's problem, settled. In any service performed by them in the Union, whether it be in teaching or carrying out a program, encouragement given will be the cause of greater efforts in the future attempts. In our Community, the young people, substantially supported by the elders, have, under the leadership o our untiring and faithful President and our efficient Pastor, an excellent Union and a Community, minus the problem "What To Do With Our Young People?"

Appropriate exercises were conducted each day during the chapel hour, at which time certain phase of Negro life were discussed by one of the students. Such topics as the following were taken up: The Negro in Business, The Negro in Literature and Art, The Negro in Poetry, etc. Each speaker not only reviewed the progress of the race along these lines, but made observations on present conditions and suggested ways and means of improvement. On Friday, Lincoln's Birthday, Beecher's speech on "The Martyr President" was delivered and the Scripture Lesson was read from the Lincoln Bible, which was given Lincoln by colored citizens of Baltimore. This Bible was given to Fisk by Mr. Robert Lincoln, upon the solicitation of Dr. S. W. Crosthwait. The exercise for the week were brought to an impressive close by the singing of Coleridge-Taylor's "Deep River' by Miss Katye Perry. Other students who participated during the week were: Masses Flosse McClaim, and Owena Hunter, Messrs George Strong, M. I. Nurse, and James L. H. Hardway, who is president of the Durbar Club which sponsored the week. THE SOCIAL SIDE OF THE B. Y. P. U. By Miss Lester Chaves, 904 N. Mulberry, Abitue, Kansas 904 N. Mulberry, Abilene, Kansas Permit me to say just here, that some B. Y. P. U., are in the hands of people who are so self-righteous that the B. Y. P. U., is so stuff, so cool, and cull that the young people who are attending our schools and colleges feel that the B. Y. P. U., is almost a prison to them. In the first place is it needful? 2nd, If so, what are some of its blessings? 3rd, What will the Modern B. Y. P. U., be? 4th, What will it accomplish? 5th, What kind of leader may we look to find in the Modern B. Y. P. U.? 6th, What can we do to develop the Social Side of the B. Y. P. U.? In partial answer to the foregoing questions, let us discuss them in order:—Is the social side of our B. Y. P. P. U. needful? Yes, it is needful; because, it will increase the attendance and bring about a deeper interest in B. Y. P. U. Work. How can this best be done? I hereby offer a few things: Each teacher should greet his pupils with a smiling welcome. The instructions should be so simple and such childlike language that each child will feel at home in the B. Y. P. U. The B. Y. P. U., should always have entertainments, programs, etc. What are some of its blessings? It causes a love for the B. Y. P. U., the teachers, officers and the church to spring up in the hearts of the young people. What will the Modern B. Y. P. U., be? A place where children can feast upon His word. A place where those seeking light and life everlasting can find satisfaction to their longing souls. A B. Y. P. U., opened on time with all teachers in their places; A Modern B. Y. P. U., training the young people to fill offices in the church. What will it accomplish? If the B. Y. P. U., is rightly conducted for the spreading of His Dear Kingdom in the hearts of men, and in the name of His Dear Son, it will accomplish a great deal in His name. If we would ask God to direct us, give us the child-knowledge love and ability to develop the social side of the B. Y. P. U., then we could look to the B. Y. P. U., to play in part in producing strong leaders. What kind of leaders may we look for? Religious leaders, God-fearing leaders, loving leaders, ambitious leaders, leaders that are really interested in building up a strong B. Y. P. ONLY APPEARANCE IN KANSAS, MARCH 6. HOME COMING OF GREAT ARTIST PIANOPORTE RECITAL AT FISK BY SONOMA TALLEY, GREAT SUCCESS. A rare treat was given the large audience which attended the piano recital given at Fisk University on last Friday night, by Miss Sonoma Talley, of New York City. From beginning to end the listeners were enraptured by the music of this young artist, who is a Nashvillian, and graduate of both the college and music departments of Fisk University. Miss Talley is also a graduate of Institute of Musical Art, of New York, which is headed by Frank Damosch. In 1923 she finished the artist's course of this Institute and won the first prize of $50000 for the highest scholarship average of the piano graduates. At present Miss Talley is connected with the Martin Smith School of Music and is conducting a studio of her own. Although having won a great reputation and high honors early in her career, she still considers herself a student, and has put herself under the instruction of the great teacher Aurelio Giorni. Miss Talley's services are sought after rather frequently by two of the leading broadcasting stations in New York. Concerning a recent concert in 'own Hall in New York City, where Miss Talley was accompanist and pianist, the following comment was made in the New York Sun by W. J. Henderson, who is one of the leading music critics in America: "Some of the best piano playing ever heard here probably, with emphasis upon her good rhythm, was by Miss Talley in her solos, which included the "Bamboula" of Coleridge-Taylor. The artist's choice of composers, as well as compositions showed excellent judgment as the program which follows indicates. The case and perfection of her execution were subjects of comment by all. She had perfect control of her keyboard and seemed to be able to interpret and reveal the complete meaning of each composer, even to the minutest detail. The many encores she received and to which she graciously responded were significant of the delight and enthusiasm of the audience. Miss Talley is the daughter of Program:—Tambourin, Rameau-GoProf. T. W. Talley of Fisk University, dowsky; Prelude and Fugue in G minor, Bach-Liszt. Symphonic Etudes, Schumann; From the Depths, MacDowell; Polonalise in E minor, MacDowell, Bercuse, Chopin; Waltz in E minor, Chopin; Deep River, Coleridge Taylor; Bamboo, Coleridge-Taylor; Military March, Schubert Tausig. U. What can we do to develop the social side of the B. Y. P. U.? We must look at life as it is and decide for what we are best fitted. To speak plainly, we must not try to change the natural course of things; I do not mean to turn from the Christian service, but toward it. If all the real joys and social pleasures are to be found outside the church, very naturally the young people will turn their faces in that direction. But if the church, Sunday school, B. Y. P. U., Women's Missionary Society, Prayer Meeting, Choir, Literary, and the Preaching Services could be so arranged and managed as to furnish a reasonable source of joy and pleasure, we would find the young people, and middle aged, flocking to the churches for this real joy, pleasure, food, for the soul, etc. The teachers and B. Y. P. U. Officers can take the lead in this social movement and see that it is on a religious basis. It is their duty to do so with sincerity and truth; with the help of of the worthy pastor and how loyal they can make the B. Y. P. U., and all the church services a real joy. When this movement is entered into, actually, by all concerned, then will we be able to see the prayer of David:—Lord, restore to me the joy of my soul; and then can we say as he said: I was glad when they said unto, "Let us go into the house of the Lord." Five Cents Per Copy MAKING WORK RELATIONS PLEASANT Restive labor, turning itself over, month in and month out, is one of the drawbacks of efficiency in an industrial plant. Operators and employment managers of a broad vision are unanimous in this conclusion; a those who are sincerely determined to establish permanent efficiency in the working forces of their organizations agree that questions of work relations and conditions of labor are as important as questions of wages and hours of service. During the past decade the migration of approximately one million Negroes from the farms and factories of the South, partly cause of an unusual urge from the North, and partly because of work relations and conditions of labor which the migrants affirmed could have been improved in various areas, was the proximate cause of many employers of Negro labor, both North and South, giving a greater degree of attention to work relations, leisure periods, recreation, and improved general conditions of labor, which were found to have as great an influence upon the contentment of working forces as wages and hours. Upon the theory that the happiness of a worker during "off hours" has a marked influence upon his work attitude during work time, employers are more and more taking definite steps to guide the social their employees at all times. Notable among those employers who are developing the social hour for their employees may be mentioned a number of the great steel plants of the South, One, the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, of Birmingham, Ala, now promotes a highly-organized department of social science for its employees and their families The promotion of club work, adult sewing classes, the community spirit, and the bringing together of parents, children, teachers, employees, officials, and friends, is an act in team-work which makes for work, home and community contentment. A MARTYR OF TODAY There is a halo and a glamor about the heroic deaths of Stephen and Paul, Savonarola and Tyndale, and we of this age think of martyrdom in the Christian faith to be a thing of the dim past. On West Central Avenue in Wichita, Kansas, there was a humble grocer running his neighborhood store, where housewives sent their children for a pound of butter or a sack of potatoes, and it was a prosalic life, this wrapping up of vegetables and cheese. Ellis Ioup, the grocer, would not have been picked out as a man likely to share in the heroic light that blazed out from the stake where the early Christian martyr was burned. Ellis Ioup went to Syria, to visit his people, and a few weeks ago he he was captured by the fanatical Druses. The tribesmen insisted that he reject the Christian faith or forfeit his life. Without the theatrical pose, far from the white light of publicity, he died, proclaiming to his last breath his faith in the Christ. The humble grocer from the prosale shop on a quiet Wichita street went to his Maker unashamed and courageous. The heart of man still beats strong and is exalted to the heights when the emergency calls. He fought the good fight and he kept the faith. The Beacon. Cherryvale News Notes.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Sunny, Feb. 7th, was a most enjoyable day at 2nd Baptist Church. The teacher was mild and pleasant, himself at convenient for all who debated to go to the house of the Lord and worship Him in Spirit and in truth. at 100 a. m., Supt. Bro. R. L. Robinson was at his post, greatly encouraged by the promptness of his teaching; lesson was enjoyed by all, in the many helpful thoughts proct out. at 11 a. m., Pastor Ralmey spoke a new encouraging remarks in the way of determination; after which all who desired, spoke their several declarations. at 6:00 p.m., President, Bro. G. A. Lacey was at his station with his cap- tains, instructors and co-workers, seemingly very anxious to recite the lesson and tell what they knew about the inspired "4." This was in im- pired lesson, enjoyed. At 11:40 p. m. Pastor Kaimey and Lloyd Henry Jones came to the roost, Bro. Jones read for Scripture lesson, Matt. 26:17-30. The Pastor returned from Luke 24:46, subject to suffering That Works Eternal Glory." This was indeed a soul-stirring message, showing clearly that in trust to work the work that promo- ses eternal glory; we must suffer as we (Christ) has suffered. After watch, the Lord's Supper was insti- tuted. Those on the sick list are: Sister B. Herrington, Sister W. M. Stephen- son, Bro. and Sister L. Crews, Sister Evans, Mrs. Singleton, Mr. J. Tolbert and Mr. O. Tolbert. Sunday was a most enjoyable day at the Second Baptist Church. Sunday School opened at 9:30 a.m., with Supt. Bro. Robinson, presiding.

He began by raying we are living in a materialistic age; and discussed the value of many things from a material viewpoint, showing very plainly that the Maker of an article goes to make up its value from a spiritual view point. He discussed, God, the maker of the soul, and the durability of the soul. A number of visitors worshipped with us. Mrs. Annie Wright of Canton, Mississippi, the niece of Mrs. Ora Evans, was with us.

The world ais nas its mark of distinction, Scholastic Philosopher, Minister, and many others. He showed these marks are often misrepresented in the world and may be worn by even criminals of the lowest type for the world's marks of distinction does not alter the condition of the wicked heart. The word's marks of distinction brings out 3 things, viz: Honor, Protection and Passage. The Christian's mark of distinction changes the attitude of the heart; and has no bearing on the world unless our lives measure up to the standard. Christians wearing the mark of distinction cannot be criminals, slackers, buckiters, nor can they deny God to His face. It is well said by one of the writers, that our mark is as fire in the bones and brings to the Christian Honor and Protection and is recognized by all. 3:30, under auspices of the Pastor's Aid, Sister Hettie Roberts, Pres, was a spiritual feast. Rev. P. D. Skinner and his members from the Sardina Baptist Church were with us. Rev. Skinner was at his best and delivered a strong sermon on "Love." John 4:1. Love the potent force in the Kingdom of God. Love, the secret power, controlling the Christian life. Love, the foundation of all other things. Love, the core and backbone of all other elements. The nature of love is to love everybody, because, whosoever loveth is born of God. Divine Love changes individuals' attitudes; Love is the only evidence we have of being saved; showing we cannot of ourselves acquire this love, but is brought to us by the Holy Spirit; and many other beautiful features about love, were brought out, cautioning us to love one another. The Sardis Ladies' Glee Club furnished splendid music. A wonderful spirit of co-operation. 6:30 B. Y. P. U., Bro. Geo Roberts President.

This book is compiled by state offi. cials, otheers and outstanding mem: bers of the State Bar Association and published by the Jachson #rinung Company, Jackson, Miss, The Book fs headed with quotation from Gov. LJ. C. Lamar:—“An angry mob, which has neither the head to think nor the heart to feel.” This quota- tion from the giant of thought and spiritual devotion, Bishop Chas. &. Galloway, in this Book: “I give it as my deliberate judgement that there fs never an occasion when the resort to Jynch law can be Justified, How- ever dark and dreadful the crime, punishment should be inflicted by due process of law, Every lyncher be- comes a lawdespiser, and every law despiser is a betrayer of his country, The lynching spirit, unrestrained, increases in geometrical progres- sion’ Southern Baptist State Con- vention and the Methodist Conference and Mississippi Women’s State Com- mittee on Race Relations are very frauk and right ia the expression in the forms of resolutions adopted in the annual meetings. The dawn of a new day is seen in the Eastern hori- zon of God's plans and some day in the minds of the Christian family of God's people of all nations, will de- mand that righteousness shall rule. We notice that in the writings by the great characters of Mississippi, that all of them overlooked the thought, that the Negro must have the ballot back in his hand to help maintain the safety in Mississippi, and all the states, because us the governor, the sheriff, the police, or the city mana- gers, are not clected by his vote, and they have no effective reason to pro- tect him; if his administration can not be changed by him, nor will he be able to help select another, better, While the Christians and right think- ing white people of the South are working to make the South a safe place in which to live, remember, that real power lies in the ballot box, be- cause no oflicer wants to mistreat his vote. When this is done, many of the Sons of Mississippi who are making good in other states will be glad to return to the dear old Magnoha State where mother nature responds so readjly to the “sons of toil” and bless their every effort.
