Attendance was large. Junior B. Y. P. U. was held at 5:30, under the faithful guidance of WHY THE NEGRO SHOULD VOTE Possibly, if this question was properly answered, properly studied by the Negro, and properly consid- ered, there is no doubt but that the Negro would feel the deepest neces- sity of executing his political right by going to the polls and voting. Dally, we hear complaints or rather, we are complaining of the previ- aling conditions that exist. Those who do not complain, my notion, are either the "don't care," or else they are the ones who preter others looking out for their welfare. If there are other means of bring- ing about that level basis which means so much and above all, the thing which is right, then it is time that the individual who knows such a plan, to present it. But since that discovery has not been made, then, the Negro's only 'way out' is to visit the polls. The white man who is planning for office does not care if you do not vote if you are not going to vote for him. If you don't want him, it's a sure thing that you can't put him out unless you vote for one that you do want. It is a fact that it is our country, when we continue to sing, "My Country Till Of Thee." Since this is true, then why not act as thorough-bred citizens of these United States, and vote? What do you possess for protection against that harm that is being done to us? Your only sword and shield is your opportunity to register and vote. GRANT CHAPEL A. M. E. CH. REV. J. H.

THE POINT OF VIEW THE CABLE OF THE PRODIGAL TREE the farms said to the boy: "When winter comes, that tree must be cut down or wood." "That is a sugar manle. Do you really want to cut down such a fine tree?" "Yes," said the farmer, "it must be cut up for wood." The tree stood amongst a thousand trees in a great sugar woods. The boy followed the farmers' eye to the top of the tree, and the latter said, "See how the top of the tree has been broken off in the storms? A sap tree will not make first class maples sugar when its top is gone. It is sour. Mark it to cut down." Is it not to with men Stand on a traffic corner from 8:30 to 9:00 any morning in any city and watch the faces of the men as they motor by to their offices, or scramble out of the subway. In some or them you see spiritual life, in some idealism. Why do others look so sour, so roman? Iron or brass or wooden? Some cynical some imperious? Not all of them fall into these categories, but indeed no small number of them do. It is not always so, but you expect to find in the most powerful motor cars some who look as though they had little of the milk of human kindness in them. This ungenerous estimate has no universal bearing, for in other cars you see people of great humanity and kindness. But in so far as it is true, what is wrong? Men who stop growing at the top are like the sugar maple which the Vermont called sour. When a man begins to die at the top, no manner of shrewdness, no extent of experience, no acquisitive ability will save him. If you are imprudent enough to ask such a man, later in the day at his Club, "Are you an idealist?" will he not answer: "Oh hell! I am a practical man, a man in a man's world." Or will he just give you a cold stare? Any man may die at the top, and seem to be, otherwise, very much alive; ministers, secretaries, teachers, working men. Poverty is as prolific a cause we wealth. But the most beautiful lives you know, the most worthy, the truest, the ablent are those who are not dead at the top. CTTAWA IDEAS Continued on page two) Bethany S. S. was well attended, Sunday.

Evening services 8:10; devotion THE INFLUENCE OF A MAN There is a challenge to stimulate thought in the story that tells how Dr. John K. Mott entered as his life's work the career which has made him one of the most conspicuous Christian leaders of the world. In all probability Dr. Mott, who recently resigned as General Secretary of the National Council of the Y.M.C.A. would never have become the world figure that he is today, were it not for three men. That is the story as we have it from A. H. Whitford, General Secretary of the "Y" at Luffa'o, N. Y., in an editorial written for the Association Forum. In 1877, a commercial traveler, Graves, by name met a young trade-man in Harrisburg, Pa., named S. M. Sayford. Graves, a sincere Christian, had so profound an influence on this young man that the following year he became General Secretary of the Association at Lockport, N. Y. Sayford remained there until 1881, when he became State Secretary of Massachusetts. Two years later he discovered C. K. Ober, a student at Williams College, and engaged him as Assistant State Secretary. Ober succeeded Sayford as State Secretary of Massachusetts. In 1883, while he was servant on the National Council Staff he first met Mott, who was then a student at Cornell, and interested him in the work of the Y. M. C. A. So great had been Ober's influence that Mott, when he graduated, became an assistant to Ober on the National Student Staff. Here Mott began his career. The story has its own moral while the chain of personal influence does not always create John R. Mott, it is continually helping men to grow toward a realization of their highest ambitions. Does not them our contact with our fellows become a sacred obligation? —The Downtown Triangle, St. Louis. Topeka News Notes ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH VIVIAN DUKES Reporter Sunday was another day in Zion, of note. Mrs. A. L.

Lockett delved the message of the afternoon. Rev. Lockett is well acknowledged to be one of the greatest preachers of Kansas, a great evangelist.

PRIMARY TOPIC—Treating Each Other Right JUNIOR TOPIC—Treating Each Other Right. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC How to Promote Good Will 1C—How to Promote Good Will. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- 1C—The Message and Program of World Peace. 1. The Christian's Relation to God (v. 1, 2). He is dedicated to God. He consciously presents his entire being to God. 1. The basis of this dedication (v. 1). "The mercles of God." The ground reason for the dedication of ourselves to God is because we are recipients of the mercles of God. The dynamic which makes possible our yielding to God is the gospel which is the power of God unto salvation. Our union with Christ makes us willing and able to give ourselves to God. 2. The nature of the dedication (v. 1). (1) An act of the free will. Those who voluntarily present themselves to God, He consecrates to His service (2) It embraces the whole man (v. 1). By "bodies" is meant the entire personality—spirit, soul and body (1 Thess. 5:23). (3) It is a living sacrifice (v. 1). In the Old Testament the victim was slain before being placed upon the altar, but in our case God wants our bodies as living instruments of service. (4) It is for national service (v. 1). The logical outcome of our union with Christ is an intelligent service for Him. 3. The obligation of the one dedicated to the Lord (v. 2). It is non conformity to this world. The one who has handed himself over to the Lord will not be fashioned by this evil age (1 John 5:19). II. The Christian's Relation to His Fellow-Bellever (v. 9, 13). 1. Love without hypocrisy (v. 9). We should not pretend to love people while hating them in our hearts. Religned love is disgusted hate. 2. Abhor the evil and cleave to the good (v. 9). God's children must be like Him. God hates wickedness of all sorts, so His children will have the same attitude toward sin that He has. 3. Be kindly affectioned one to another (v. 10). Real brotherly love is that which passes between those who are of one blood—members of the same family. In Christ we are really members one of the other. 4. In honor preferring one another (v. 10). This is most difficult. It is natural to claim the best places for ourselves Christ pleased not himself. 5. Not slothful in business (v. 11) This refers primarily to spiritual afairs—to the church life which is to be characterized by zeal, energy and warmth, being regarded as service to the Lord. 6. Irejoicing in hope (v. 12). At flections will surely come to the Christian, but in all trials he should be filled with hope of future glory. 7. Patient in tribulation (v. 12) This blessed hope will make possible a life of patience. 8. Continuing in prayer (v. 12) Only by constant and persistent prayer shall we be able to live above our circumstances and fix our hope upon Him whose coming shall bring deliverance from all our trials and transform us into His glorious likeness. 9. Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality (v. 13) It is obligatory on Christians to aid fellow Christians who are devilite. III. The Christian's Relation to Unbelievers (vv. 1421). 1. Do good for evil (v. 14). We are to bless those who persecute us. 2. Be sympathetic (v. 15). We should rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. This was pre-eminently fulfilled in Christ while on earth, and in heaven now he enters into our joys and sorrows as our sympathetic High Priest. 3. Find points of agreement (v. 16) We should seek for points of agreement in all things. 4. Live honestly before all men (v. 17). Our manner of life should be that which will commend the grace of God in Christ. 5. Live in peace (v. 19). We should exhaust every means to bring about reconciliation. If the other party will not yield we should see to it that it is not our fault. 6. We not vindictive (vv. 1921). Instead of demanding eye for eye and tooth for tooth, we should heap coals of fire upon our enemies by deeds of kindness. Jesus at the Door If Jesus christ is at this time knocking at the door of your heart, the fact is that He is on the outside. And if He is on the outside, there is but one person who can let Him in, and that is yourself.-O. I. Live Right While you live right, nothing goes wrong; a soul at peace with God cannot be greatly disturbed by the world, for it hath its pleasures in God and its blessings from God—Jackson. BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue What is being done For And Against World Peace, Romans 14:19. Humanity speaking, God is doing all that he can to reconcile the world unto himself through His Son. When the world is so reconciled, the reign of Peace will flood our lands as the Waters cover the deep. The true Church is working with God in Christ to realize the day of the Lord. We should esteem it an honor indeed to be a co-laborer with God in making Peace to reign in the Earth. Deep down in the human heart is a cry for peace, but selfishness and creed ignore the cry, and War is the inevitable result. The Prince of Evil is the Devil, and selfishness is the fruit of his life, because of it men are more interested in their rights than in their duty. As to what is being done for War, the making of munition, militaristic training of the youths, the publication and circulation of literature of combat educates the youth for, rather than against, conflict. It is another way of teaching the youth to hate, which is intensifying as the years go by. The thought of war ingesting in the mind, and the nature of the mind is to hasten to the muscles to express itself, as a result, we awake and to our surprise find ourselves enveloped in flames. We cannot awake in Peace unless we retire in Peace. Before we can have a reign of peace, we must have a reign of love. The Prince of Peace cannot be elected by subjects of confusion. Before there can be peace between the Nations, there must be peace between individuals; and before there can be peace between individuals, there must be peace in the individual; and before there can be peace in the individual, there must be peace with God. Peace cannot be legislated, neither can it be won by the sword. Christ left His peace with the Church, but the world does not know it. Let us make it known. Peace cannot reign in the earth, whatever we may do, until it reigns in the hearts of men. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, in (us) earth. JUNIOR B. Y. P. U. Preserving The Body. I. Cor. 6:19,20. Our bodies are the Lord's. He has entrusted them to us to use to His Glory. We should keep them pure and healthy. Frequent baths to keep them clean. Pure thinking to keep them pure. Obedience to the law of health to keep them well. There is no place in our bodies for alcohol, tobacco, drugs or anything that unfit it for the best. If God is to dwell in them, they must be fitting temples for His Holy presence. Since our bodies are His, we should use them as we would use the most precious loan from a friend. No thoughtful person would be careless in the use of a borrowed article. Our bodies are the best of God's earthly creations, hence, they should be used with the most utmost care. Through them we are to express our thoughts reveal our characters, and live our lives. Certainly, we should not destroy them before our task is done, and even when our work is finished, we should turn them back to Him for his remaking. Should one do as he please with his body? Would you carry your body where you would be ashamed to carry your Lord? Remember He lives in it. Did you ever see men moving a house with the family in it?

This would give the Convention $150.00 to meet her regular monthly obligations and money to apply on National Convention requirements. Will you Brother Pastor and Officers give this your hearty support? The Pastor, as God's Keyman, please read this letter to the Church and陪 them north in this nuth needed and business-like plan for our Convention.

Please send something, beginning this month. Please pray for our work as the Missionary Pastors must care on and the educational work must not be neglected.

On each side is a narrow, crooked trench, filled with desperate men, the death look in their eyes. Up and down runs a ternado of shell fire, the shells bursting in running crashes, with driving squalls of shrapnel which sweep the ground and a remorseless storm of rifle and machine gun bullets which run along the scanty parapets That is the picture of the ad vanced trenches on November 11 1918—just a decade ago. The clock points to eleven and as if some tremendous miracle had happened, the uprear steps. The staircase seems to hall and last, the high air pressure no longer toss their black fountains of earth and smoke skyward; the machine guns end their soulless rat-tat-tat.

Pho —Ten Years A Men look into each other's eyes. First they see wonder there then comes understanding. The Armistice! Reprieve from death! Home and loved ones! Peace at last! Up and down the trenches sweeps a swelling burst of cheering. Now it rises to crescendo; now it sinks to rise again. Thus did they greet the first Armistice Day in the trenches of France. No day in our country's history means more—particularly to the veterans of the World War—than Armistice Day. And this company wishes once more to express the never-ending gratitude of the American people for the heroism which won that Armistice Day and assured Americans forever of liberty, justice and opportunity for all.
