Warned by Mobbiats Desiats Helping Educate Negro Youth NORFOLK, VA., Sept 9—The Rev. Vincent D. Warrer, a Catrolic priest of this city, was taken captive late Thursday night by a band of hooded men in Princess Anne county, sub- jected to a grilling isolated woods and released with a warning after being held a pricker two hours. The clergyman was disharmed by his masked captors, but there were erles of "brand the rigger lover" as he was being questioned Father Warren told investigators offi- cations today. He was questioned about his activities as a patron for a Negro boys' band and other Negro Philan- thropes. More than 30 white men, all cloth ed in Ku Klux Klan regalia; Father Warren says; stealthy approached the concert after the boys had been playing for two hours and were near the end of the program. d provided with flashlights; the hooded figures started ranch of the grounds, locating Father Warren with two friends in an autobiles; a position the priest had taken because of missives said to have come from the klan warning that the colired tand must not be brought into the country. The priests was seized, witnesses say; dragged out of the machine; and forced to enter another automobile in which he was taken to the woods followed by the rest of the raiding party in automobiles. Appearance of the robbed mer threw the Negro colony into conter nation. Residents barricaded them relives in their homes and members of the band were placed in an auto mobile truck and brought back to Norfolk. Delfort J. Emanuelson; of Norfolk; who sat at the machine with Father Warren attempted to prevent his capture. He was manhandled and later; when attempting to follow on the running board of the car in which the priest was held between klansmen; a pistol pointed at his head made him abandon the effort. Father Warren said the automobile stopped in a dark woods some 20 miles from the scene from the concert. He was placed in the center of a human circle; the preists rays; and questioned about his activities with the Negro band and about a rumor in which it was reported that the clergyman was planning a Catholic School in Princess Anne County for colored children. Only one man participated in the series of questions; Father Warren told the authorities, but he added that other members of the band uttered threats and voiced suggestions for various punishments. After denying that he was planning a school and pleading for a recognition of his rights; the priest was ordered to reenter an automobile with a last warning that the klan "would not tolerate the mixing of races." Father Warren requested that he be put on the road leading to Norfolk, but was ordered out at point 4 miles from the main road. With the Father Warren and his two white companion, had accompanied the colored boys' band of St. Joseph's Academy, of which he is director; into Princess Anne County to give a concert, which was nearly finished transportation home. when the white clad men drove up in an automobiles and desmended that the pilots leave with them. He declined to do so but was pulled nito one of their cars. His companions went to his aid, but were struck several times by the kidnappers who finally drew pistols and ordered them away. They were left by the roadside as the masked band of kidnappers with Father Warren, in their midst drove MULLEN'S PLEA FOR TITLE IS TURNED DOWN. NEW YORK, Sept. 6—The request that Harry Wills, crullerger, to declare the heavyweight champion of the world, Danny was made Tuesday by his manager, Paddy Mullins, and was denied by the New York boxing commission. "Champiers can lose their titles only in the ring," W. M. Mullon, senior member of the commission said. Mullins based his request upon the argument that Dempsey had refused to furt Wills and that Gone Turney left written a newspaper article which signature that he would never fight Wills if he won the championship from Dempsey. off at a high speed toward the south. The band concert stopped abruptly and the young musicians were permitted to return without interference to the city in the track which had brought them into the county. The kidnappers drove with their captive some distance. Then at a school spot along the road, stopped for colloquy with him. The inquy was directed by the leader of the mob, the only member who dressed the priest. Father Warren said he was asked what was he doing in Princess Anne county. He replied he was "trying to train those young persons;" meaning the members of the band, "to be good citizens." Futher, conversation developed that the interference with the priest's work was due to distaste for mixing of whites and colored, even in the field of education. The priest was kidnapped and his two companions, one of them seventy one years old, were assaulted and threatened at the pistol's point, but law enforcement officers of the county evinced little if any interest in the affair today.

The professor desired farm descriptions and the ownership life which urbean Negroes live in the metro politician centers of America; and cor-cluded with the admission that "a much larger proportion of Negroes than of whites will find their best CHANCE in the country." With a question mark about the stuidity of the word "CHANCE" here are a few traits which the zealous writer-professor over looked in his pref. over the fleet big farm life of the Negro world in America. Despite the trailing miles which separate the majority of the Negroes of America from the lecture halls of the Howard University; not a few of them have long since learned that their honest labor is merely the tool of Capital, trained in the Business Universities of America. They found out that their labor has long been subject to the same inexorable control of Capital whether they perspired in the burning fields of Arkansas or in the automobile plants of D.C. trait. Even when they owned and operated their own farms they discovered that the clutching hands of Capital whatsoever ready to thrust a mortgage pen into their hands. and that in general threat has always been the same un even break on the farm, so far as they were concerned as in Harlem The CHANCE to which Professor Miller refers was just the objective they were seeking—The chance along with other groups to become capitalists and wealth had more power than concentrated labor; for they had observed New York capital operate and control the farms upon which they were employed in Georgia and Mississippi. They had seen the Jewish; the German; the Italian; and other immigrants qualify for the capitalists domain of the big city; and they felt the call to the newly covered chance; thus; the Negro migrated; not in historical groups; neither in full decordance with the law of demand and supply; but partially because of personal motivations.

They wanted to touch the htm of the garment of the forces which held them under control; and having done this they crave the opportunity of absorbing the ways and means of a greater economic and civic freedom; until farm or factory; as the case might be with any group; has evolved into an elimination proposition; leaving the man free to follow the dictates of his own heart; and if he would affenect the forces which he would have influence him and his children in their considerations of and preparation for the future.

What the Tabernacle Was. It was a rectangular structure 30 cubits long, 10 cubits wide and 10 cubits high. This was divided into two rooms, the holy place and the holy of holies. The two rooms were separated by the wall. The tabernacle was within a court 100 cubits long and 50 cubits wide. Within the court before the door of the tabernacle was situated the bruzen altar. Between the altar of sacrifice and the door of the tabernacle was placed the laver. Inside of the holy place was found the candlestick and also the table of shewbread. Directly in front of the vall was found the altar of incense. The altar of incense was closely connected with the brazen altar in the contact of fire and blood. In the holy of holies was found the ark of the covenant, the most sacred object of the entire tabernacle. This ark contained the table of stone, the pot of manna and Anron's rod that budded II. The Meaning of the Tabernacle. The tabernacle was the symbol of God's dwelling place. This tabernacle typified the incarnation of God in Christ. John says that the Word become flesh and tabernacled among us (John 1:14). The furniture of the tabernacle, beginning with the brazen altar symbolizes the spiritual history of the worshiper, making clear the sinners' method of approach to God. The position of the brazen altar at the door of the tabernacle indicated that no one could draw nigh to God without going by the way of that altar. The question of sin must be settled before man dares approach God. The layer typifies the sanctification of the believer. The sacrifice at the brazen altar signified atonement. The solutions of the layer prefigured sanctification. Atonement was made by the sacrificial death of Christ. Sanctification was effected by the washing at the layer, prefiguring the influence of God's Word. His ordinances and the operation of the Holy Spirit. The candlestick, with its central shaft and its extending branches indicated the unity and diversity of God's people. The candlestick also shows the purpose of the sanctification of the believer, namely, to shine for God. The table of slew bread was for a memorial unto God of his chosen people, one loaf for each tribe. What the bread was for Israel, Jesus Christ is to the church. The altar of incense symbolized communion with God in worship. The putting of the blood from the brazen altar on the altar of incense shows that acceptable prayer rests on the ground of the stoning work of Christ. The vall symbolized the flesh of Christ. The reading of the vall at the time of Christ's crucifixion shows that the death of Christ gives access to God. The mercy sent upon which the blood of the sin offering was sprinkled indicates that the claim of God's law had been satisfied. III. The Offerings of the Tabernacle. 1. The motive of giving (v. 5). 4. The motive of giving (v. 6). "Whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the Lord." Giving which meets God's approval must spring from the heart. The offering must not only be made of a willing mind but it must be as unto the Lord, an expression of love and godly fear. 2. Who had part in giving (v. 22). "They came, both men and women." It was God's purpose from the beginning that women should unite in the support and care of the worship of God. 3. What wns to be given (vv. 23-29). Under this heading two interesting things stand out—measure and variety. (1) Measure. They brought what they had to bring No one is under obligation to give that which he does not possess. Capacity is the measure of responsibility. (2) Variety Some brought jewelry (v. 22); some brought gold (v. 22); some brought fine linen (v. 23); some brought goat's hair and rough skin (v. 23); wise hearted women did spin with their hands (v. 23); the rulers brought the expensive things that were needed (v. 27). This shows what a variety of things are needed in the Lord's house. Sentence Praver O God, we come into Thy presence and confess the many sins we have been guilty of, and we pray that Thou will forgive them all. The Only Safeguard The only safeguard against error is a full knowledge of Christ—The Gospel Minister. Unselfish Prayer God loves an unselfish prayer.

APPEAL Dear Brother Pastor and Officers of the Baptist Church of Kansas GREETING from God, the Father and Jesus Christ our Elder Brother: Following the Brief of our Chieftain. Dr. W. A. Bowren, this comes to inform you that the State Convention will be held at Kansas City with the Metropolitan Temple, Closing out the Conventional and Associational Year under the unified Program. No doubt, you have asked the question: "What is my require ment to the State Convention?" It is just this: Your district allotted you, your district and State Budget. When you gave to the district, you were giving to the State Work. Note you owe to the State the amount you failed to give covering your district and State Budget. Therefore, the Convention offers you the opportunity to make your last rally to meet your Mission Program for the year 1925-1926. It is our purpose to send you a letter stating the amount you have paid and the balance due. We are requesting all the secretaries of the district to supply us with the proper information, which will also be printed in The Negro Star, as an illustration: I your Budget was $100.00 and you paid $50.00, you should bring $50.00 to the State Convention. Let us all be conscientious and write our secretaries of our district and ask that the balance due which we have agreed to pay, unto the Lord. Mal. 3:8, prophecy asks: "Will a man rob God?" I am sure we will not. We need $2500.00 at our Annual Meeting to go forward in the larger call that is confronting us. Several churches need Temporary help. Others need increased Missionary Pastor's support, and the Seminary must be enlarged and a new building constructed. Not one of our churches should come to the Convention with less than $20.00. That is to sav. the Sundav School, B. Y. P. U., Mission Circle and Church should send in a donation. This is the last chance for the Conventional Year. Let us aim high, $20.00 for small church and $100.00 for larger ones. We need to do more for Foreign Missions. Publishing, Education and B. Y. P. U., and all the National work in general. We can make this the Banner year. $2500.00. Now. If you cannot come, and be represented in person, then send a letter with your statistics; also a large donation for the work. Don't fall to send something. Mall all letters to Rev. A. W. Ross. Executive Secretary. 1219 N. 9th St., care of Rev. H. B. Bronson, Metropolitan Baptist Temple, Kansas City, Kansas. REV. W. A.

Then prepare to faint the next time you get your electric light bill. Or get out your last month's bill and faint over that. "I don't see why," you say. Let us explain. The electric light bill you got last month, if you compare it with one you got in 1913, will show you that you are being charged just about the same rate you were paying then. Now look at your grocery or clothing or rent bills of today and then. They show an average increase of 65 per cent!

So you are really making a saving of 65-per cent on every electric light bill you pay, judged by other living expenses. What if all your other expenses were at the same low level? Wouldn't rent be cheap? And clothes? And groceries? And everything else? And yet, despite the fact that electricity has stayed down when everything else was mounting, the service today is far superior to that of 1913. It is as near to the perfect as anything man has ever devised. At any minute of the day or night, you can touch a button with the absolute conviction you will get an instant light.
