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.

Romans 1ativ. | Mumaniy speaking, God {s doing all that He can to reconcile the world unto himself thivugh Iis 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 Uod in making Peace to reign in the Earth. Deep down in the human heart Is a cry for peace, but selfish. ness and creed ignore the cry, and War is the inevitable result, The Paince of Evil is the Devil, and selfishness fs the fruit of hi» life, because of it men are more in- terested in their rights than in their duty, As to what fs being done for War, the making of munition, mihtaristic training ot the younths, tha publie cation and circusation of literature of combat educates the youth tor, rather than against, conflict, It js another way of teaching the youth to hate, which is intensity ing as the pears go by, The thought of war angering in the mind, and the nature of the mind is to hasten to the mus- cles to express itself, as a result, we awake and to our surprise find our selves enveloped in flames. We can- nct awake in Peace unless we retire in Peace. Before we can have a reign of reace, We must have a reign of love. ‘Lhe Prince of Peace cannot be elect- ed by sabjects of contusion, Before there can ce peace becween the Na- tions, there must be peace between inaividuess; and betore there can be peace between Individuels, there must be peace in the individual; and before there can be peace in the in- dividual, there must be peace with God, Peace cannot be legislated, neither can it be won by the sword. Christ lett [is 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.

Ie has entrusted them te us to use to His Glory, We should keep them pute and” healthy. Fiequent baths to keep them clean. Pure thinking to heep 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 fit- ting temples for His Holy presence. Since ovr bodies ate 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 icveal our characters, and live our lives. Certainly, we should not destroy them before our tash is done, and even when our work is finished, we should turn them bach to Him for his remaking. Should one do as he pleaszs with his body? Would you carry your body where you would be ashamed to carry your Lord? Remember He ves in it, Did you ever see men moving a house with the family in nt?

Our plan calls for $10,000 annually.

For instance, if 25 churches give $5.00 each monthly, it means $125.00, and 25 churches give $3.00 each monthly it means $15.00, and 75 churches give $2.00 each monthly, it means $15.00. 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. This plan was presented to the Ministers at the last Board Meetings and the amount for each of the Churches of $7,000.00 was suggested and accepted. The amount for your Church is in the following list. Please let us know the manner in which you will meet the request. We may it will be the monthly regular plan. 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. We are the Lord's and the work is His command. He will make possible if we only trust Linn. This adopted at our State Convention in session at Topeka, Oct. 4, 1927.
