Why weuld It not be better to capitalize thelr best points?” asked Mr. Kecler “There is need for a greater under- standing between the white and dark races. It is only misunderstanding which causes any feeling other than {e'cndliness, Kiphng was wrong wher, he said ‘East is East, and ‘West is West, And never the twain thall meet.’ The differences be- ‘ween races are differences of cus- tor: only; there is no fundamental «“flerences of heart between the white and colored man.” Brotherhood of Man. “The advancement of understand- ing, Good will and international peace through a world fellowship of business and professional men united 'n the Rotary ideal of service’ the tixtl. object of the Rotary Clubs Mr. Keeler explained and told his audi- ence of Rotarians from San Francis- <0, Oabland, Portland and other roints, and that their object boiled down, meant the “Brotherhood cf Man.” Negroes Here To Stay. | Referring to the idea of some peo- rie that the race problem could be » ttled by having ths Negroes in the Urtied States colonize in Liberia, , “r, Keeler said, “There are some eleven or twelve million Negroes in hy United States and if they were to lcave at the rate a steamer load of ‘154 each week, only the increase ould be leaving. This shows the impracticabihty of the plan. They were brought here as slaves and they wre here to stay.” ‘Moreover the Negroes are coming frem the South to the North” Mr, ecler continued. “They want more ‘'reedom and a better life which they ind in the North. So the South is] ‘ow becoming worried, the attitude f the Southerner js changing and he + treating the Negro better becaune 12 does not want to lose the working opulation of his section.” Envlogizes Berkeley Negroes Mr. Keeler gave many interesting sets about the colored people in “erheley as developed by a Chamber ¢ Commrce survey recently made.| | ‘his showed that there are 700 Ne-1 roer in Berkeley and the same, umber of Japanese, Chinese nume| er 279 and there is a springling of ; | ther oriental natfonalities, “The Negroes coming to Berke-| *y are the finest of the Race,” de-| ; tared Mr, Keeler, “They come here| ; ecause Berkeley is a superior City,| | na in which they find the most ad-j antages for culture, Sixty-one! | er cent own their own homes here, | , nd fifty per cent have books and , wy good periodicals, They have good) omes, good gardens, and are good! | itizens.

Jesus Praying in a Solitary Place (Mark 1 33). After a series of most strenuous efforts Jesus retired to a lonely place to pray. He who the day before had shown Him mighty power in casting out devils and banishing disease now needed to be alone with God. In order to do this He arose a long time before daylight. The very last time to pray is in the morning when our physical powers have been renewed. If the Son of God needed this time for prayer, this renewal of spiritual strength in communion with the Heavenly Father, how much more should we seek help by retiring to the solitary place. II. Jesus Praying in Gethsemane (Mark 14:32-42) In this time of crisis He took with him Peter, James and John 1. The first prayer (vv. 35-38). (1) His posture (v. 35). He fell on his face prostrate on the ground. In the hour of great need we naturally prostrate ourselves before God. (2) His petition (v. 36). "Take away this cup from me." By the cup is meant Ils death on the cross. No doubt it was most grievous for Him to face this shame, but He pressed on knowing that for this cause He had come into the world (John 12:27, 28, cf. Heb 2:14). (3) His resignation (v. 33). Ils will was in subjection to the Father. He knew that Ils death on the cross was the will of God, the Father, for He was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (4) The disciples rebuked (v. 37) He singled out Peter since he had been the most conspicuous in proclaiming his loyalty (John 13:38). (5) Exhortation to the disciples (v. 38) "Watch and pray lest ye enter into temptation." The only way to be able to stand in the time of trial is to be watching and praying. 2. The second prayer (vv. 30, 40). He withdrew the second time from the disciples and uttered the same words in prayer. This was not vain repetition. It is proper to repeat our requests. He found the disciples asleep again. Their shame and confusion were more marked than at first. 3. The third prayer (vv. 41, 42). He uttered the same words in the third prayer (Matt. 26:44). He tells the disciples to sleep on and take their rest as the hour had now come for His betrayal. There is such a thing as being asleep when wanted and awakening when it is too late. If the disciples had been praying they would not have fallen asleep. III. Jesus Giving a Model Prayer III. Jesus Giving a Model Prayer (Matt. 6.9-13). This model was given in response to the disciples' request that the Lord would teach them how to pray (Luke 11:10). It is not therefore the Lord's prayer, but the model prayer for the disciples. It involves: 1. A right relationship (v 9). "Our Father." Only those who become children of God by faith in Jesus Christ (Gal. 3:26) can pray right. One must be a child of God before he can be in communion with God. 2. A right attitude (vv 0.10). "Hallowed be Thy name." When one realizes that he has been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of His Son (Col. 1:13) by being made a child of God, he cannot help pouring out his soul in gratitude and praise, in tense longing for the kingdom the righteous rule of Christ to come on the earth. 3. A right spirit (vv. 11-13). (1) That of trust which looks to God for the supply of daily bread. We are dependent upon illum for our daily food. With all man's boasted progress he cannot make a harvest. The murvals of modern chemistry are insultient for this. (2) That of love which results in forgiveness of others. God will not listen to the prayer of one who has an unforgiving spirit. (3) That of holiness which moves one to pray not to be led into temptation and longs to be delivered from the evil one.

Text: Prov. 4:1-9. The Problems of school life are many and cover a period from the cradle to the grave. The right solution is the pathway to a successful life. Some of the most vital problems are—1. The Teacher; 2. The Paphi; 3. The School. 1. The Teacher—(a) His appearance; (b) His character; (c) His intellectuality; (d) His personality; (e) His spirituality. Problem 2—The Pupil—(a) His birth; (b) His environments; (c) mentality; (d) His opportunity. Problem 3—The School—(a) The curriculum; (b) The aim; (c) The method; (d) The equipment. As the right solution to these, is found, at least, a bit of light is thrown upon all other problems. School opportunities are: the home, church, public school, and society. We are never out of school. Each year well used makes us more efficient and more valuable to God and man. In our lesson, Solomon teaches 1. Give attention (focus the mind on the fundamental principles, the enduring things, things not seen.) 2. To understand (a clear vision of the Divine Mind, the principles as revealed in the Word of God, Nature and Experience.) 3. The matter (Good doctrine.) I is to become a part of our character Solomon's first teacher, and ours, (parents.) Their love for us, their interest in us and their influence upon us. In the fourth verse it is shown that there is life in obedience; that obedience that is not from fear but from love. Our hearts acquiescing in the Divine will as expressed 1. His command. Wisdom is the high point in the following verses. It is a gift of God through our experiences, the right use of knowledge. It is intellect sanctified. Wisdom is to information what the Spirit is to the Word. Both give force and direction. We should love, understand, learn to, and keep in memory life's basic truths, if we would live useful and happy lives. Wisdom gives honor unsought favor unexpected, and a life crowned with a victorious triumph. Thoughts—Teachers and parents should solve together, the problems of the school. The ultimate aim of the teacher and preacher, school and church, should be to produce a Christian citizenship. God in Christ is striving to give to the world a citizenship that can be trusted. When we can produce a corps of teachers who have the spirit and mind of Christ, and a corps of preachers who have the mind and spirit of Chrsit, war between the church and school will cease. Questions—What should be the aim of the school? What should be the aim of the church? Can the church and school co-operate and not federate? What about the schools' Religious Program? What about the Bible in the public schools? What about the churches' educational program? What have the two institutions in common in their endeavors? Surely we need an education this is Christian. That type of learning which teaches that the best and most useful life here is but an earnest of the abundant life that is to follow. It is this type of life Christ came to bring. The church to be sure, is founded upon, in, and by Christ and the school should be builted around Christ. The only perfect teacher is The Man of Galilee. St. Mary Bapt. Church Rev. J. E.

Lesson reviewed by the Pastor. Our school has gone over the 100 mark. At 11 o'clock service, after a short devotion, the Pastor chose his text from Phil. 2:5: "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." We had institutional service; which was seemingly enjoyed. The Pastor spared no pains in making his sermon practical. Invitation was extended; one came as a candidate for baptism. 6 p. m., B. Y. P.

(From the Nation, New York City) Lynchings for 1926 almost doubled those of 1925—34 and 18 are the offical figures given out by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Association traces this disheartening increase in mob violence to the defeat of the federal anti-lynching bill until punishment for lynching is taken out of the hands of irresponsible local authorities we seem deemed to suffer the humiliation of being the only country in the world in which the account of a mob murder is hardly news. At the same time there are bright spots in the process of adjusting race differences; for example, there were 33 cases last year of officers of the law who prevented lynching and 29 of them were in the South. These instances further discredit the myth of the sheriff who is "overpowered" by the mob. Again in Natitoches, Louisiana, even white public sentiment is being aroused against a statue which was recently erected to "do honor" to the Negro; it is inscribed. "The Good Darkey of Louisiana." Erected by the City of Natitoches, in grateful recognition of the arduous and faithful service of the good marker of Louisiana." The figure is of a typical "Uncle Tom," the bent, shuffling, subservient of Negro who was dear to the heart of the old South. South and North, a change is coming—a southern white lady was recently fined $50 in a Chicago court for calling a Pullman Porter a "Nigger."
