BY WAYNE ALEE A high school principal sald to me, im words similar to these, a most re- markable statement; “Allee, the greatest challenge that faces the young college men today is the mighty challenge that Prohibition is creating, We need young men who will uphold our laws by sceing that they are enforced.” Then he cited to me a particular drug store, near to the school, which violated our state laws by selling cigarettes, bootlegging liquor, not mentioning the fact that they rented out private use. Somehow there does seem to rooms to young couples for indecent be something wrong that must be righted, But where fs the source of the whole thing? The average man today seems to want to lay ft all on Prohibition ‘Is he right? Is Prohibition a ster forward or backY What is our an awer 98 intelligent Americans. In the first place the public senti- ment seems to be against Prohibi- tion from outward appearances and does not care to see that the law is enforced. Even our big men, our leaders {a many cases have turned rotten grafters. Can the public be expected to do the thing that even the leaders fail to do? No! “For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” Isa. 9:16. Un- doubtedly invested interests do their great part to keep the problem well within the bounds of the public’s ig norance by deceiving them with so- celled good works, Those who have waxed prosperous under prohibition are absolutely for it, while the man who is always thinking of his indi- vidual rights is absolutely against it., Frank W. Garrison ha* this to say! on individual rights; “One has only’ to read the economic discassion in the we have traveled away from the be- Vef in liberty that was nurtured by liberal fournals to realize the distance the French economists, communicat- ed by them to Franklin, Jefferson, and Pa'ne, and given expression in the Declaration of Independence. This eloquent document served itr purpose of providing a high-sound- ing excuse for the war against Eng- land; but though its rhetorical ad- vantages have always been appre- elated, nothing eould be more un- popular than the theory of individ- ual rights.” The railroad men had no sympathy with the demand for personal liberty, “We know too many inside facts about accidents, and we are not candidates for cof- fins,” was their callous reply to the plea for sweet hiberty, Moreover, probably the railroad men were the first among the great industries to adopt the prohibitive rules against Hquor. Any trainman or yardman discovered to be frequenting saloons was made lable to discharge. The railroad men by their action devel- oped a atrong contingent of prohtb- ition voters. James H. Rankin says that the at- Utude of the laboring men was the decisive factor in the rapidly form- Ing movement of prohibition. In hig annual report to the Longshoreman's Union in 1906-7, President Danie} J. Keef said; “If there is any one habit or practice which brings disease, and suffering and disorder, which abrid- xes and retards the power an influe ence of labor: that shortens the span of life, which inGicts misery upon the innocent, which humiliates snd degrades the worker, it is drink.” While John Mitchell, organizer of the,Coal Miner's Union, was equally outspoken: “I am against the saloons because they are against my people, and T am more than willine to an- INDUSTRIAL TRAINING IN UGANDA, AFRICA In the Elgon High School at Na- bumale, Uganda, the boys, Including the teachers in training, turn out with their hoes at 6:20 a, m.and cul- ‘tivate food erops and cotton for two hours on the five regular woan days of the week. Also each boy has a rode! plot according to his age, in which he may plant or sow whatever he hkea in his spare time, sind prizes are given for the best plots. This school has been fortunate in having & government agricultural officer who takes a keen and sympathetic inter- est in teaching agriculture, For an hour in the afternoon the whole school engages in the following handicrafts: carpentry of many kinds also brush-making pottery, brick and tile making in small quantities; bricklaying; smithery; the making of sisal ropes, mats sisal, palm, and plantain,) bags, baskets, and pon- chos (or home cured skins;) spinning and weaving. Industrial training tends to dignt- fy manual work and encourages the continugnce of useful native rafts, wid eng knowledge of local mate- rials and their possibilities; it helps towards self-support and encourages unselfish habits, because the work is done for the school. It helps the pupil to decide his vocation in life and makes him a more useful citizen; it gives scope for originahty, perse- verance, accuracy, thoroughness, and confidence, and enriches the mind with useful Ideas, It completes the general education of the body, mind, and soul, enabling the student to rise, as God intends, to his full stat- ure in hfe and service. Southern Workman. pacify the store-keeper'for the none payment .of bills and family left practically destitute. Oun union stands for temperance, better and more decent men.” Thus we can see the demoralization of character thro’ the use of liquor, upon the moral and spiritual nature. Dishonesty, hatred arger, lying, cheating, deceiving and nany other vices, are the inevitable demoralizing results. However, on tho other hand, the big crime wave Is attributed by some to prohibition, If that be the case I'm dubious as to- whether prohibi- tion was a step to the front or to the opposite. For the enthusiasm of the reformer is no guarantee that the reforming views ere sound. Mr, Henry Newman says: “The unfet- tered experimenting which has prov- ed so fruitful in the field of natural aclence cannot be accepted in the field of human relationships in the former Instance, eaperimentation is a rilatvely harmless affair. If the new Invention does not work the only cost to be reckoned is that of the ma- terial and the Isbor, But certain @xperiments In the field of human relationships may wreck the souls of malllions of people as well as the souls of the experimenters, .1t is bie ways easier to destroy—than to build up.” I heartily agree that man who said that a single day of de- vauchery will ruin the health of years, Just the same as one gener- ation of loose conduct may seriously impair the valid moral reserves of centuries, What has caused the looseness of conduct In our day. Is it because prohibition is wrong or fs it because we are not yet ready for it?) Or if I would ask if the Ejgh- teenth Amendment is right or wrong, what would bo my ansver? In all probabilities the thinking man would classify it as right, while the Ignor- ant, weak willed man would ery out} wrong! As an intelligent American which answer would you accept? To me it seems“as though we need to put more emphasis upon the pre- eminent Christ and less on reforma- tion, We don't need reformation— we need regeneration, we need to be born ageint We have a much broad- er, a much keener and a much deeper insight on the intellectual, the phys- cal and the spiritual realms, when we have Jesus in ovr hearts, How ‘rue that old adege; “You can lead a - PROGRAM — Woman’s Association, Hinds County te «viday, Saturday andSunday, July, 16, 17, 18, 1926 —WILL MEET WITH— Davis Hill M. .B.

M, PELT, Cor, Bets, horse to water but you ean't make him drink!” Just in the same re- spect can you put a man in jail for drinking or committing some other offense, but with all that gou can not take the desire out of his heart. It's not prohibition that we need it is Jesus Christ! The foregoing may read hke a plea for the appeal of prohibition, It is nothing of the sort, It is rather a plea to both sides to envisage the problem fairly, A plea te put the horse before tho cart and not back of it! The desire for what is for- bidden had just as much facination for the rechless youth fifty years ago as it does today, The youth of our day are fust drinking because they think it Is smart. It will soon die down as all fads do, if thay live through it. Mind you, I believe in prohibition but prohitition will be the result of a Christ Centered Na- tion and not until that time. Some- one has sald that a community (let me say a nation) gets the kind of political administration which its de- gree of civic sense permits, Further- more, the righteousness of the re- former must exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, Jie must be willing to pay the cost of breaking a new path, There {s little reason to believe that every nation or even ev- ery community will accept prohibi- tion in just a few years—it will take centuries, Therefore we should be de- voting our effortstothe youth. Count onthe inspirationdrawn from youth through the teachings of highminded, outspoken, Christian teachers, : Will Prohibition, therefore, follow education through regeneration, oF lead it?

It is situated on a hill which is well drain- ‘ed by the gentle slope of the land. It has four spacious rooma two of them separated by folding doors be- ‘ing used as an auditorium. As many of the children as can be accommo- “dated live with privated families in Wallwyn, though most of those whe attend the training school find homes outside the town, some of which are more than eight miles away. ‘They drive to school when the weath- er Is not too severe. Perhaps no county training school was needed more than the one in Buckingham County. A goodly num- ber of farmers there own large farms ranging fro& one hundred and fifty to three hundred acres of land. Thus many families hvo far apart, making it Impossible, with the small number of schools provided for col cored children, to locate them within the two-mle hhmit for every child. For five years Rev. Stephen J.

Y. P.U. CONVENTIONS Convened in Pittsburg, Kansas, Jone 8 9% 10, with the Mt, Hebron Baptist Church, Rev. J. T. Elias, Pas= tor. This was the 41st Annual Ses- sion of the Sunday Schoot and 21st Annual Session of the B. ¥. P. U. The Convention was a howling successe from start to finish. ‘The mecting opened Tuesday morn- ing at 9 o'clock with the S. S. Pres- ident, Rev. A. L, Gardner, Presiding. Messengers from the various church- es in the district, were present at an early hour and were enthusiastically awaiting the opening of the meeting. An excellent program for both S. 8. and B. ¥. P. U, had been prepared, and all participants proved that they had given carcfut study to the part for which they were programmed. However, some of the numbers merit special mention, The chorus from St. John, Wur, was second to none; not only in the District but in the State. St.John should be, and no doubt Is, proud of {ts young people, and we know Southeast District is proud of them. The Address of Welcome to the S- S., and the Address to the B. ¥, P. U, also the response to each, dis- played the ability to compose, of the youthful brain of the District, The address to the S. S. Convention was delivered Ly Miss Jackson, Mt, He- bron, Pittsburg; response by Miss Willa C. Crawford. The Welcome Address to the B. Y. P. U. Convention wae delivered by Miss Neva Cole; response by Miss Rubye Mitchem. In the debate which electrified the entire Convention, all of the disput~ ants deserve credit, but we are force ed make special mention of Miss Rubye Mitchem of New Hope, Par- sons; Miss Bertha Roberson, Beth- lehem, Cherryvale and Biss Bonset- ta Washington, Maple Street, Inde- pendence. A prize of $3.00 was offered to the messenger who wrote the best paper on “The Biisslon of the Sunday School” Six excellent papers were written on this subject: The prize was awarded Miss Eva Hamilton New Hope, Pittsburg. The excellen- cy with which the B. ¥, 2 U,, mes- sengers demonstrated the work of the Model B, Y.. P, U4 proved that this organization Is hfting up the standard throughout the District.

Calvin, S MORE ABOUT THE BROOKLYN CONGRESS The people in Brooklyn, and the East are doing their best for the entertainment of the Congress and showing a determination to give that organization the finest opportunity it probably ever had. Pastor Adams, of the Concord Baptist Church, is utilizing all the forces within his reach necessary to entertain the Congress on a large and satisfactory scale. He has just secured the RINK AUDITORIUM for the meeting place of the Congress. This is the place where Moody and Sanks held their great meetings; where Chapman and Alexander held their big re- The Negro Star—For the $ g^{-} $ of the people vivalis; it is indeed a historic spot. The soldiers from Long Island and Brooklyn, were assembled in this place for the Civil War. It is just ten minutes' walk from the great Plymouth Church, where the noted Henry Ward Beecher preached; it is only five minutes walk from the spot where the great preacher, T DeWitt Talmage preached; it is just two blocks from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, one block from the Concord Baptist Church. Not only is the meeting place conveniently located, but it has sufficient space to accommodate, with their exhibits, all the Boards and Agencies of the National Baptist Convention. All messengers and visitors are urged to send a letter requesting housing accommodation at the earliest possible date. The Entertainment Committee stands ready to make assignments which will enable the delegates to go immediately from the rail road station to their stopping places. Among the splendid welcome addresses, that are to be delivered, is probably one from his Excellency, the Governor of New York State. The New York people are determined to out do all other cities in entertaining the messengers and visitors to the Congress.

The Young People's Congress at the Brooklyn Meeting The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, which will be held in Brooklyn, N. Y., June 23-27, 1926, will be attended by a larger number of representatives from Sunday Schools and B. Y. P. U. Societies and other auxiliary organizations in the Baptist churches than have ever attended any previous session of this great body. A great many people are anxious to visit New York City, and to take observation of the splendid historic scenes of which they have read so often. A great many others desire to stop off at the Sequi-Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. These manifold attractions are the guarantee of a large delegation to the Congress. New York People Expectant We have not held a national gathering as far East as New York City since the National Baptist Convention met in Boston, Mass., in 1897. Because of that our brethren and friends in that section are very much delighted with the thought that we are going to hold the Congress in their midst. The whole of New York | State and the greater portion of the New England and Eastern sections are planning to represent their Sunday Schools and B. Y. P. U. Societies, and contribute in every conceivable manner to the success of the Congress movement.

Among hte interesting current events as follows:— Christ's Jerusalem Underground Pilgrims who visit the Holy Land do not tread on the ground on which Christ walked while carrying the cross, as the streets of Jerusalem of the present are from 25 to 30 feet higher than the ground on which Christ trod. Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, who has just returned from the Holy City, explains that Jerusalem has been destroyed 16 times and has each time been rebuilt on the ruins. It is now a city of 70,000 persons surrounded by a big wall, but there is less crime there than in any American city of the same size. The Jews are fast coming back to the land of their fathers and are proving good dry farmers.

However, in spite of the real spirit of Christ, so manifest there, and the democratic ideals for which the camp stands, there is a woeful lack of appreciation and response from the Negro Citizenry of the State. Wichita has furnished the major part of the Colored boys, who have been patiently "holding the fort," and praying for an awakening of the Negroes over the State. Camp Wood is the only State Boy's Camp of the Nation opened—without restriction, to Negro boys. Will the Negro citizenry of Kansas pass up this privilege, unheeded, and thereby repudiate the claims we make for a Christian Democracy. Our answer will contribute to the future of Inter-Racial Good Will in Kansas. LEST YOU FORGET!
