THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 20, No. 19, LINCOLN MEMORIAL ON MOUNTAIN FACE CUMBERLAND GAP. July 23 Atlanta's Stone Mountain will bear the carved features of Robert E. Lee and other famous Confederate leaders. A great precipice near this town, 300 miles from Atlanta, is to have lined thereupon by the scluptor's chisol the likeness of Abraham Lincoln, Kentuckian, whose armed men overthrew the cause for which Lee fought. There will be no other Lincoln Memorial like this in the world. A noted sculptor from the the East came here, looked at the towering roc decided that the carving could be done, and it is likely the plan will be feasible within a few months. Two year's would likely be required to cut Lincoln's figure into the heights of limestone. The peak lifts its mightly head above Cumberland Gap, and, its shadow reaches almost to Lincoln Memorial University. The rock mountain is located on the grounds of the university, which however, is in Tennessee. Virginia Kentucky and Tennessee State line join here. The figure of Lincoln would be more than 100 ft. in height, and according, to the plans as advanced, it would be alone. When the figure has been chisled out of the living stone the great masses of timber will be slashed from the lower slopes and blue grass will be sown there. Steps are then to be built up the hill to as near the foot of the monlitic figure as possible. MALONE'S STENOGRAPHER SUES FOR $2500 BACK PAY (Preston News Service) ST. LOUIS, MO., July 29—Aaron Malone, former head of Poro College the famed institution of beauty culture, was named defendant in a suit for $2500 filed in circuit court Thursday by his former secretary Mattie Beasley Robinson.

Miss Robinson says that Mr. Malone agreed to pay her $2500 and in addition pay her $10 per week for expenses. He paid her the $10 weekly but not the $2500, she complains.

Sunday School Lesson (By REV. P. H FITEWAHN DII, Dean Alonso) [Little Institute of Chicago] (1923) Western Newspaper (Union) Lesson for July 31 LESSON TEXT—1 Samuel 18 1.41 19 JUL. GOLDEN TEXT—There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. PRIMARY TOPIC—Two Good Friends JUNIOR TOPIC—David and Jana INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Choosing the Right Bird of Friends YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Obligations of Friendship The friendship of David and Jonathan has become immortalized in the world's thought. It was unique in that it occurred between two men of rival worldly interests. Jonathan was the crown prince, the heir to the throne. David was heir according to the divine choice and arrangement. Jonathan knew this and magnified it immensely waved his natural personal rights to the one he knew God had chosen. 1. Friendship Established Between David and Jonathan (I Sam, 13:14). 1. Love at sight Following the Interview of Saul and David after the victory over Gollath, Jonathan's soul was knit with that of David. He loved him as his own soul. While there was mutual love, this pleasing trait stands out more prominently in Jonathan than in David because it meant great loss to him—the loss of the throne; while it meant immense gain to David, the acquisition of the throne to which he had no natural right. 2. Covenant established (vv. 3, 4). Following the love covenant between them, Jonathan stripped himself of his court robe and his equipment and gave them to David. This act was a virtual abdication of the throne to David. 11. Jonathan Defended David Against Saul's Frenzy (I Sam 19:1-7). Against Saints Pretty (1 Saul 10:27) David went into the battle with Gollath out of zeal for God and true religion—not for personal glory, but it turned out as always that because he made God first, God honored him. Upon David's return from victory over the Philistines, according to the custom he was met by a triumphal chorus of women from all the cities of Israel chanting praises to him for his victory over their enemy. They ascribed more praise and honor to David than to Saul. These women seemed to wish as prewoking changes. The one who "lives shall his thousands," the one answered, "and David his ten thousand." To hear sung the praises of a thousand how surpassing his two was too much for Saul. It aroused marrowous envy which had been slumbering in his heart and moved him twice to attempt to kill David. This whitedness was in his heart as a bitter feeling, but this occasion fanned it into a flare, making it a burning passion of evil. In Saul's third attempt to kill David, Jonathan defended him before his father and evoked from him the oath that David should not be slain. He thus exposed himself to the anger of his infurred father for David's sake. III. Jonathan Revealed to David Saul's Murderous Intent (I S m. 20:20:40). The beginning of the new moon was celebrated by sacrifices and feasting at which all the members of the family were expected to be present (v. 5). David's excuse for being absent was that he might go home to attend the yearly sacrifice of the entire family. The annual feast was more important than the monthly feast. Matters were now so serious that Jonathan and David renewed the covenant between themselves. In this renewal the tears were broadened beyond the line of Jonathan (vv. 14, 15). Sue's answer was now so fierce that for Jonathan to be found in David's company was most dangerous, so he cleverly played a sign by which he could make in vain to David Saul's attitude and purpose. We prove our friendship by warning those who are exposed to danger. David's heart responded by pleasing fidelity to Jonathan's seed flower. This pledge was faithfully carried out by David (II Sam. 9; 7, 8) Concerning real friendship observe 1. It should be made while both parties are young, when the hearts are capable of being knit together. 2. Real friends are few. We shouldn't be careful in the formation of friendships. For though we should be everybody we can have but few friends, Friendship should be formed for the purpose of helping each other. There can be no real friendship except where merit is on both sides. 3. Real friendship can only be with God fearing people. Both David and Jonathan recognized their obligation to the Lord. Satan on Watch Prayer is the strategical point which Satan watches. If he can succeed in causing us to neglect prayer, he has won; for where communion between God and His people is broken, the true source of life and power is cut off.—Andrew Murray. The man at the top is usually some one who has been in the habit of going to the bottom of things.—The Prospector. B.Y.P U.LESSON The Burmese Empire was founded in the middle of the 18th Century by Alompra, the first sovereign of the dynasty, which fell in the person of King Thubow in 1886. In 1924 the British captured Rangoon on May the 11th. Successive victories in favor British followed until on Dec. 31, 1885. Burmah was formally annexed to British India thus closed the history of Burmah as an independent kingdom. Some of the thirgs to overcome in the "Beginning in Burmer." The sanitary condition, very unhealthy water covered much of the land. Their customs and manners. The religious life as to the attitude of the government toward Christianity. In our text we have, "The Gates of Hell against the Church, and the Attack Upon Its Head." The applaudes which the King received caused him to continue to weild the bloody sword. Peter was arrested and put into prison and secure between two soldiers, bound with two chains. The Church took the mother to the highest court and God sends a deliverer. No church is stronger than its weakest Christian, nor weaker than its Strongest Christian. Does the devel attract the leader or the weakest member Do leaders fail because the church fails in its prayer life. Is a man a criminal because he is in jail? TOPEKA NEWS ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH A.

We find this true in reference to Bir, Sam Jones, 501 N. Water, who can do anything and do it well. A few months ago, when the city condemned all the houses along the canal, he conceived the thought of using the houses to an advantage, Ac picked cut a firm, which had prop erty lots, and bad desiied to sell the lots for a long time, so he sells his thought to this company and was made salesman and contractor for the property; and he has moved, re- modeled and handled all the business for 5 five of the houses, using over 18 different mechanics and laborers, paying them off with the cash, every week.

He swears now that Logan was killed by the planter with a gun furnished by Logan's wife. Now, the come the questions: were the men hanged to pay for the deed of this planter?
