He was born in or near Aberdeen, (the town in which he was pastoring when the end came) about 70 years ago, and the 10 years we have known and been closely associated with him, he has lived an unjustifiable Christian life, ever working to hard for the upbuilding of the cause of Christ, the tree and humanity, alma, a thinking of others, more than himself, hence not taking the proper rest—never a vacation—thus came the very unexep a nervous breakdown.

C. P.) NEW YORK, Nov. 16—A Negro Quattermaster, Lionel Liconish, is one of the heroes of the terrible sea disaster in which the Steamship Vestis, of the Lamport and Holt Line bound for South America, sank of the Virginia Coast with 84 passengers missing. Stories told by the rescued survivors who reached this city yesterday, and relayed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, credit Quattermaster Liconish with saving 20 lives. The New York Times says of him: "In pleasant contrast to the stories of failure and cowardice on the Vestis, other stories were told yesterday when the survivors landed, stories of individual courage and self sacrifice in rescue work on the part of both passengers and crew. "There was the heroic little Negro Quattermaster with the picturesque name, Lionel Loisuit, who crawled into a lifeboat containin' an injured fireman and no cars, who again haved the shark-infested reas to swim to a capsized boat for oars, and then rowed back and forth thru the wreckage for hours until he had picked up all he could find. Sixteen was his own count of those he saved; others sail twenty. "That little Negro did what the officers of the Vestris failed to do," was the culogy pronounced upon Lionel Loisuit by Alfred Ramos who was in the water fourteen hours before the Negro pulled him aboard." Quattermaster Icorish hails from Barladoes in the West Indies. Other Negro members of the crew of the ill-starred Vestris, came in for praise for their seamanship in handling the lifeboats and keeping them afloat in a stormy sea. BETTER RACIAL OUTLOOK (Interc. al News Bureau ) LOUISVILLE, KY., Nov. 17—Many evidences of progress were reported at the annual State Interennial Conference in this city last week, and the director and executive committee were instructed to continue their efforts for better educational, health and transportation facilities for the colored people of Kentucky.

THE TURKEY GOBBLER THE TURKEY GOBBLER (Reid Editorial Service) (THIRD EDITION SERVICE) The great American bird is not the hen nor the eagle, but the turkey gobbler. The gobbler is lord of the barnyard and field marshal among the fowls. See him strut in the fullness of his pride, tail feathers sweating, head up, wings trailing, but not ingloriously! His crimson comb and murrish wattles give him the appearance of a red-faced and important gentleman who is outculously concerned in everything going on about him. Such pomposts to dignify and swagger is rare. "Huntable" "mobile gobbler" strikes terror into the hearts of little children, but is music in the ears of the more sophisticated who envisions him trussed up in a roaster and stewing in his ownlice. The turkey has been closely associated with American History from the beginning. It will be remembered that at the famous Thanksgiving feast of the Pilgrim Pantheus in Nov. 1621, in which the friendly Indians are tricked, wild turkey was the chief delicacy. Once this elusive bird was plentiful but now the wild species all but extinct. In only a few sections of the country the wild turkey may be found. It begins to look as though the domestile turkey is destined to go the way of its progenitor. Young turkeys are hard to raise and the Thanksgiving and Christmas demand exceed the supply. No one wants to see the day when the turkey has disappeared from the land and the proud gobbler struts and fumes no more. There is no substitute for the turkekey gobbler in sight. As compared with him the rooster is plebian and the rander "a lesser blood without the law." The gobbler is a symbol of prosperity and a token of hospitality as well. Bond and addresses by Prof. W H. Fouse of Lexington, L. N. Taylor of the State Department of Education, Miss Maude L. Harrison and Mrs. Jane Bond of Louisville, Mrs. S. P. Steele of Paris, and Dr. W. W. Alexander of Atlanta. Among the subjects discussed were educational, economic and health conditions, intercultural attitudes and reactions, and race relations as affected by home, school, and church Dr. Bond's report recounted remarkable progress along educational lines in Kentucky during the past year, including the appreciation of more than $600,000 by the legislature for the state normal schools at Frankfort and Maducah; authorization of a tax levy to maintain a colored department of the University of Louisville; expenditure of $800,000 for new Negro schools in that WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY Nov. 23. 1928 NEGROES DRIVEN FROM HOMES IN OSKALOOSA, CO. FLORIDA (N. A. A. C. P.) NEW YORK, Nov. 16—Reports of habitation but little practiced against Negroes in Oklahoma County Florida, have reached the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Gil Fifth Avenue. The reports state that Negroes have been fired upon in their homes and wounded to the ground by a mob, and that away so safety. One home in Oak Grove, Florida, was burned to the ground on the night of September 21, after having been fired into on the right of the 18th. Several homes were fired into on the night of Sept. 28, and a colored man and his wife were hit by bullets. A neighboring home was fired into and A. L. His lion, so the robert states was killed. Three other homes are reported to have been fired upon. "About 15 families have moved away for safety, all landowners" state; the letter to the N, A, A, C, P "The nearest railroad station to this settlement is Launel Hill, about 69 miles from Pensacola and about 10 miles from Floralia, Ala."

This money goes for things I've learned To my office by getting my fingers burned. This money goes for the truth I wish I had known in my early youth. It goes for the things of long ago Which I've said I wanted my boy to know. "A drive for the Y" You may call it that. As you pass the pledges and pass the hat.

In all these enterprises the inter-ral committee was active, either in initiating or helping to promote them. Dr. Bond also reported success of the Commission's effort to require an institution for feeble-minded colored children, for which the legislature recently voted $100,000. Another significant phase of the report dealt with the growing interest in race relations on the part of the churches, as indicated by a number of successful interracial ministerial meetings held recently in Louisville. Looking to the future, the Committee nudged itself to work for the removal of iniquities and handcams from which Negro schools are suffering in some sections, and also instructed a special committee to take steps to secure to colored people their rights on common carrier bus lines. An interesting popular feature of the meeting was a concert given Friday evening by quartettes, choruses, and choirs from Simmons University, Lincoln Institute, Plymouth Congregational Church, and the Bourn conservatory of Music.

APPRECIATION FOR SERVICE APPRECIATION FOR SERVICE TOPEKA, KANSAS. Nov. 17—Never has the power of publicity been more thoroughly and more favorably demonstrated than by the tremendous majorities given to both highway amendments at the recent election. I have never known anything to equal it. As you know, the entire campaign was built around the newspapers. Since we did not have the money to carry on a statewide advertising campaign for the amendments we were compelled to rely upon the generosity of the newspapers, and as a newspaper man I can say that in the years I have lived in Kansas no proposition has been given more unselfish and universal support. On our part we tried insofar as possible to repay the newspapers for their generosity by supplying layouts that they could sell to their advertisers and thereby secure a small dividend upon the investment of their energy and space. A great many papers used these layouts, but in the final analysis I believe the newspapers of the state will be rewarded for their support by the development of the state that will follow the adoption of a road program that will be not only comprehensive but permanent. It simply is impossible to find words to express adequately my personal appreciation as well as that of the members of the Executive Committee of the Buerau, for the development of Kansas that has been manifested by the great majority of the newspapers over the state. As a newspaper man I realize that the public generally will accept this service as a matter of course, but I want you to know that the officers and members of the Kansas Highway-Bureau are very grateful for this help and fully realize that without the newspaper support the results accomplished would not have been possible. Since ely ROY I. BAILEY, Chairman, Kansas Highway Bureau. APPROACHING (Roll Editorial Service) Advertisements are beginning to appear with decorations of holly and mistletoe and smiling faces of Santa Claus. To the observant these ad frescoes tell their own story, give their own warning, hint at the important business from which none is barred and in which sooner or later everybody will be engaged. In other words, Christmas shopping. The holiday is little more than a month ahead, fewer shopping days than fifty by a good deal. In no time these days will pass. The notional processorator will wait until Christmas Eve when the store await will be imminent by other processors, stocks picked out, clerks weary, customers in a flutter, clocks ticking time's rapid pace, all because the reminders of today have been neglected. Every year more sensible persons do their Christmas shopping early. They reap all the advantages in variety of selection and leisure of choice and when Christmas Eve comes they can proceed about their last-minute holiday task orderly, theirs fune and sputter. Americans are a great people never to do today what can be done tomorrow. The postmaster has urged the posting of Christmas mail last the last days will probably be fewer than ever. The train leaves at 5:15 but the cars do not fill until 5:11. We got there even if we are a last-minute nation, but it is at a tremendous cost of physical energy and mental unsettle.

The les INTERSTATE PASSENGER'S RIGHTS INTERSTATE PASSENGER'S RIGHTS (N. A. A. C. P.) An important victory for the interstate passengers is claimed in the case of Mrs. Claire Brookins, who recently recovered damages in her suit against in Atlantic Coast Line, for a collision from a lumber car at Palatka, Florida, in July or last year. Mrs. Brookins had purchased a Pullman ticket from New York to Orlando, Fla., but at an insurance conductor told her to go into Jim Crow car. She refused and the conductor telegraphed ahead to Palatka, where two others took her from the train and put her in jail. She was kept there all night and the next day was fined five hundred dollars and costs. Inough the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Arthur Gnfield Hear was unable the case for Mrs. Brookins, and the Association paid for taking testimony in Florida. After taking the case to court, Mr. reported that the railroad offered an amount in settlement of damages which was acceptable to Mrs. Brookins and the case was settled by the payment of $2,750. The action of the railroad in settling this case without going to trial is held as an admission of the rights of interstate travelers to Pullman accommodation, despite any state laws to the contrary. It emphasizes the fact that these passengers are not subject to Jim Crow regulations, but must be given equal accommodation to that given other passengers who pay the same rate of fare. While it is gratifying to learn that Mrs. Resolving are yet some compensation for the brutal treatment she was forced to undergo, at the whim of an important employee of the Atlantic Coast Line for which the railroad was willing to pay a round sum, it would have been more satisfactory if the decision had been brought about by a decision of the court. We understand the reason why the case could not be pushed to such a legal conclusion, in view of the willingness of the defendant to settle by paying damages in a sum satisfactory to the plaintiff. The real offender in this matter, the railroad conductor, the two officials and the local magistrate at Palatha, appear to have gotten off scott free. They are the criminals who should have been made to pay for their prejudice and presumption in daring to override the laws of the United States by the Jim Crow regulations of Florida. The supremacy of the Federal statutes over all local legislation should be established in all parts of this land. TUSKEGEE DEFEATS MOOREHOUSE BY J. H. BIRNIE. T. SKEGGE, ALA. Nov. 10—Tuskegee defended mournouse 20-0 here, in one of the harshest fought games of the season. Mournouse let in offer he playing during the first half. On several occasions Morhae use came near scoring but each time failed. Tuskegee found it impossible to gain through the Marion line while Morley and Jones dashed through their line for nine gains.

After this Morley's game back with excellent fight but they could not stop the runs of Sharkla and Meyerson who dashed through the line and around the eni for long tails.

After centuries of experiment in the conduct of debate in assemblies, men involved a system whereby any situation could be handled through a suitable motion. Filbustering gets nowhere and accomplishes little. A case in port: It is sair that at the recent meeting of one of our State made to suspend the rules and elect Dr. Blank president by acclamation. This motion was vigorously opposed but the opposition, instead of offering a substitute motion, an insertion, a motion to table cr to adjourn, confined their efforts to opposing the motion and in this way throw away their opportunity. The confusion deepened and the final result was a "split." Much trouble in our Baptist gatherings could be avoided the brethren would only make the proper motions and not attempt to win by harangue or wrangling. A study of the simplified parliamentary rules contained in our new "Baptist Standard Church Directory and Busy Pastor's Guide" would save a reputation of this deplorable occuance. WTN Not since ante-bellum days has there been such a tremendous political struggle as the one which ended Tuesday, Nov. 6, 1928. It recalled the days when Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln debated the great question of slavery and its extension into free soil. Douglas, "The Little Giant" and a popular candidate for president, favored slavery and defended the "Missouri Compromise." He died and is now almost forgotten, for he was on the wrong side. Lincoln, then an awkward, obscure country lawyer, championed the cause of the downtrodden and oppressed and is today classed among the great souls who have immortalized themselves by service to mankind. His fame grows brighter as the years roll on. Like Douglas, Governor Smith chose the wrong side when he catered to the wishes of the liquor interests, the deadly foe to the home, the school, the church, and the nation, over the protests of the church people, wives and mothers all over this land. Heibert Hoover chanced all on his defense of the constitution, and his stand for the right rather than bid for the votes of the "Wets." Nulifiers and lawless elements and events have proved that at heart the American people are all right. My friends and co-workers everywhere know that for over 40 years I have been profoundly interested in the prohibition of the liquor traffic, for the past year I have delivered few addresses or sermons into which I have not tried to inject sentiment in favor of the 18th Amendment and law enforcement. For the past six weeks I have been speaking almost every night along that line and urging our support of Herbert Hoover and I hope you are rejoicing with me at the prospect of a brighter and better day ahead. We cannot but feel that we have taken a long step forward. "Truth crushed to earth, will rise again; The eternal years of God are hers; But Error, wounded, writter in pain. And dies among his worshippers." WTN To the Brethren of Ministers' Conference in All Cities of the United States: Dear Brothren—As you know, November 25th is the date to be observed as Founders' Day. The National Baptist Convention voted that the anniversary he generally celebrated and the funds raised be divided between the Historical Department and the $10,000 note which the Publishing Board has soon to meet. The intense political campaign through which we have just passed has taken so much time that we have not organized as we might, so I am writing to ask that your conference agree to ask each pastor to preach on some phase of the work of our National Convention on that day, and take some kind of a collection for the purpose above mentioned. Under another cover I am sending you a number of copies of the program which was gotten out last year. Please see that each Pastor takes one of these programs. You will find therein a text and inspiration for the occasion. I am sure this observance will add to the interest and intelligence of your people, giving information for your members, old and young. I shall be glad to have a card or a letter from the secretary of your conference, telling me that you will help in this way, and thus be benefitted yourself In the way suggested you will both enable this Department to "carry on" and help the S. S. Publishing Board as well. Wishing you all the choiceest blessings of the season in our churches and family life. I am as ever. Yours in His service. L. G.

GOLDIN TEXT—Relices always pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks. PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul Prays for His Friends JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul Prays for the Friends INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Paul as a Man of Prayer YOUNI PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Place of Prayer in Pauls Life. His prayer lifts most really reveals the character of a man. Paul's prayers explained the power and edilency of his wonderful ministry. The careful study of these prayers will give us strength, guidance and peace as we go about life's duties. The prayer meeting, believers getting together to pray, has characterized the Christian church throughout its history. I. Paul's Prayer with the Ephesian Elders (Acts 20:20-23). Having met with these elders and pointed out to them the perils which confronted them and set forth their responsibility, he knelt down and prayed with them before going to Jerusalem, where bonds and addictions awaited him. They all wept sore and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him knowing that it was to be the last sight of him. When believers pray and weep together, they will definitely work together. II. Paul Praying for the Romans (Romans 1:S10). 1. He thanked God for their world famed faith (v. 8). The true minister has no greater occasion for gratitude than the knowledge of genuine faith possessed by followers of Christ. 2. He prayed for them continually (v. 19). Knowing the far-reaching influence of the church at Rome, he unceasingly prayed for them that their influence might be most widely felt. 3. His supreme burden in prayer was for a successful journey to Rome (v. 10). He desired to visit Rome in order that he might impart some spiritual gift to the believers there and also to receive some spiritual help from them. The true minister receives a reflex blessing from those to whom he ministers. III. Paul Praying for the Ephesians 1. For knowledge concerning Christ (Lah. 1:15-23). He besought God that the believers at Iphosus might know (1) The hope of their calling (v. 8). Unfaithfulness on the part of believers is frequently one to their lack of a true understanding of their calling. The right understanding of the Chalstian's hope will make steadfast the lives of believers. (2) The riches of the glory of God's inheritance in the saluts (v. 18). It is marvelous to know that the salut has an Inheritance in God but it is more marvelous that God has an Inheritance in the saluts. (3) The greatness of Christ's power to usward (vv. 1923). This mighty power was demonstrated in the resurrection of Christ from the dend. The same power which gave the victory over the grave is available for believers. 2. For strength (Lnh. 3:14 21). This prayer was made to God who is the Father of all great family in heaven and in earth. He prayed that the believers might be strengthened with might in their inner mind, with the object of being indwelt by Christ. If Christ is to be entertained, the temple needs the divine strengthening. Where the house is strong enough Christ will come and abide. Likewise, that they might be rooted and grounded in love (v. 17). This establishment in the love of Christ is needed by all so as to prevent them from being turned aside by every wind of doctrine. Also, that they might comprehend the love of Christ (v. 18). This love is wonderful in its dimensions—in its depth, breadth, width and height. It transcends human understanding—the object being that the believer might be filled unto the fulness of God (v. 19). This does not mean that the believer can hold God, but that he can be so related to God that the infinite resources are at his command. Immortality Who does not feel that it would change everything if he believed with his whole soul in his immortality? It would supply him with a totally new standard of values. Many things which the world prizes and pursues he would utterly despise, and many things which the world neglects would be the objects of his most ardent pursuit.—James Stalker. The Bible The Bible is the most thought augesting book in the world. No other denls with such grand themes.-Herrick Johnson. God does not comfort us to make us comfortable, but to make us comforters -J. H. Jowett. The most sacred art that the soul engage in is proper.—A. W. Tozer. Rev. Frazier is, making his way into the hearts of the people in Atchison, especially in Zion Baptist Church, he has such wonderful accomplishments. He came here in June 1926, as pastor of this church, which at that time had reached the dry-bone stage, but through faith and prayer, with the splendid ability that he possesses, he organized its forces, and since that time has been able to install a furnace, plaster the outside of the stone structure, put down a hard-wood floor, finish windows and doors, paint the wood-work, both inside and out, and pay off some debts. Zion is unspeakably elated over these wonderful accomplishments, and is endeavoring to show their appreciation by supporting his program as never before; because it is understood that the success of Zion has come through the ability of Rev. Frazier, always having a constructive Program before the people, and the unusual interest that he has in Zion. He takes the responsibility of the church as he does that of his home, seeing that all necessities are provided. Last week while Zion was sleeping and slumbering he went to Kansas City, and purchased a beautiful communion set for Zion, which he brot as a surprise, Sunday morning. The congregation again rose in elation and dollars fell from all parts of the church as contributions toward the set. Words will not convey, what in our minds, we feel of Rev. Frazier's value to this community, nor can they express the gratitude in the hearts of the people. We can only say that he is beyond compare—a wonder of the wonders, and a general among men.

WELL, the nerves of the citizenry of the United States, have about settled to normal, with right given another chance. You must feel proud of America, after summing up all her faults, the main heart throbs of this country is for right and the voters forgot party and voted for right. They could not stand for Christian America to go on record as endorsing evils. They were not willing to put the government into the sale of liquor. Mothers and fathers who have sons and daughters, thought it best to keep the bottle as tar away from them as possible and to at least make it illegal to get it. It is a sad fact that the "smart" Negro was caught on the wrong side, trying to uphold evil, when he needs it less than any race on the globe. He has no time to wast in drunkardness, as the fast inventions of machines are displacing the men who work with their hands, and ere long the only man, who will be safe with his job will be the man who is able to use his brain. We mean, instead of trying to make ways for vice to take your leisure time, should be too glad to use it in some night school, preparing to meet the conditions that are confronting us today, and seemingly growing worse for tomorrow. The wrong time for the Negro, because the Christian forces were lining up to save the moral stammer of this great nation irregularly to part affiliation, now at this crisis when the solid South, broke for the first time, to protect right and safeguard the next generation, the Negro is counted on the side of wanting evil. O Race, you can be too selfish and live too close to yourself to be an asset to the government in which you live. We must think in terms of humanity and act in a way that all men may be blessed. To line up behind any man or party, whose principles are not the best, committing suicide, even if you win. Even if Mr. Smith had won and had given every Negro in the county a job, and every man, woman and child freedom to the bottle, it would not be long before only the sober minds would have the jobs and the control of the ballots. The bottle, the job and the car, will not stay together without one destroying the other. Then what could we have done with low tariff when we are already buying on the high tariff rate? Men will get excited and let prejudice, selfishness, and prosperity run away with their best judgement. We are still proud of the fact that the Negro Christians, as a whole stood for the eternal principles of right, and voted against even the appearance of evil. There is a new day coming in politics and the Christian is promising himself from now on to make Jesus count more than Dollars and Cents. So we are not excited and the wild chase of the politician, he, always did trace money and the jug, but his days are numbered and the funeral arrangements have already been made as soon as fate kills him, he will be laid to rest forever. Right must win or our Savor is a failure. We must give him a hearing in these matters. We, in great numbers voted protective ballot, thinking farther, than ourselves, race and pleasures; thought of the genera, tion, who is crying: "Prepare ye the way, make my path straight."

Miss Phoenix is in the Newman hospital suffering from the bruises. Austin is suffering from a cut on the back of the head and over the eye. Mosley, the driver of the car, escaped with cuts on both hands, they owe their escape from death to the fact that the train struck the rear end of the car instead of broad-side. The train was West bound and had slowed to between 10 add 15 miles an hour, for a stop at the station, when the accident occurred. The car and Essex Sedan was going North and almost leared the track when it was struck. The impact of the collision hurled the car with its occupants about 75 feet, where it crashed into a standing freight car. Most of the damage to the car and passengers, was caused by the crash against the freight car. The force of the crash buckled the car, crushed all the glass in it and demolished it generally.
