SOCIAL WORK SCHOOL GIVEN HIGH RATING SOCIAL WORK SCHOOL GIVEN HIGH RATING ATLANTA INSTITUTION ADMITTED TQ. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION—RECOGNITION OF HIGH STANDARDS AND EFFICIENT WORK. ATLANTA, GA., Feb. 6—The Atlanta School of Social Work has just been advised of its admission to the American Association of Schools of Professional Social Work. This action was taken at the recent annual meeting of the Association's executive committee in Chicago. It is especially significant in view of the fact that the Atlant institution is the only colored school of social work in this Association, which embraces more than twenty-five schools. It is also a gratifying recognition of the high standards and efficient work of this institution, under its new director Forrester B. Washington, who is now serving his second year in that capacity.

UNION BAPTIZING AT CALVARY The church was filled to witness the Burial of the 24 dead souls, who were killed by the power of the Gospel, dispensed by Rev. E dridge, under direction of the Holy Spirit. The three Baptist Churches took part, and each minister baptized his number as fo'lows:—St. Mary 7; New Hope 13; and Calvary 12. Rev. B. La Marchant, Pastor of New Hope Chap in a scholarly way, delivered to sermon. He proved himself a great ther. The members of the respective churches worked in harmony, union and in love. The spirit of Christ was manifested throughout the services and the Christians, seemingly, were happy to be together. There should be spirit of one accord with these churches, and it largely depends on the ministers to create such a spirit. Love and fair play is the one medium to bring about such spirit. Since the close of the revival each is continually adding to its number. The seed is sown and they must come up, and blessed be the souls who will not choke it. Thus closed a great meeting.

WHAT A STORM We wish to express our heart's feeling and thankfulness for being alive and at home 1443 N. Mosley Ave., Monday evening Feb. 4th. A cyclone rose in the top of the mountain "Sympathy" and sweep down in the home of the pastor and his good wife. The lightening of remembrance shined forth in a way, that it caused us to become dumbfounded, followed by more than fifty bolts of walking thunder, led by Bro. Jno. Wilson and Sister M. J. Jackson; no cloud, but Lord how it did rain down in our little kitchen, groceries of all descriptions, and the pastor and his wife's faces shined with happiness. It was a great surprise, yes, and a great welcome. We need to thank God for believing that man is coming to his best judgment, sensibilities, fine; for fine sensibilities are like woodbines delightful luxuries, beauty to twine round a solid, upright stem of understanding, but very poor things. If unsustained by strength, they are left to creep along the ground. Now may we say to you, and each of you who participated in this love sharing display: we thank you from the depths of our hearts, and are praying for your future success.

The Board of Directors of the National Baptist Convention, held its mid-winter meeting with the Second Baptist Church of Akron, O., Rev. R. A. Jones, Pastor, beginning Wednesday, Dec. 12th and closing Sunday, the 16th. Much constructive legislation affecting the Convention, was passed, and unusually large number of representatives from all parts of the country being in attendance. Among them were the following who came from long distances:—Drs. W. H. Rozier and Carter of California; J. E. E. Evans and Luke Allen of Louisiana; Drs. Friaby, Cosey and Twine of Mississippi; Drs. Nabritt, and A. D. Williams of Georgia; Drs. W. C. Brown of Florida and Means of New Jersey; together with many others of national importance and standing in the Convention's work. Much that was transacted will be touched upon later but the following measures were among the most outstanding: A vote to send out a special S. O. S., appeal to the churches to aid Secretary Townsend meet a pressing note on the Publishing House, Jan. 8th. A vote to make a special drive for the American Theological Seminary, from Feb. 1st through the 2nd Sunday in March. Dr. R. L. Bradby of Detroit, Michigan, will proceed to organize for this purpose and will throw himself into the movement to obtain funds and friends for the Seminary. Not least of these great efforts, we mention the Master Drive of the Foreign Mission Board, occurring on the last Sunday in March, 1929. A committee was appointed to consider suitable plans for the celebration of our Golden Jubilee in November, 1920, and this body was requested to report in June at Charleston. S. C. The Baptist churches of Akron took splendid care of the Board and Dr. Jones, as general chairman, expressed gratitude to his people in these words: "We wish to thank you all for the hearty co-operation of all the churches, also the business men and citizens for the $100 given to our committee. We thank all of the citizens for the cheerful spirit with which they opened their homes for the comfort of the guests, though there were not enough guests to go around. We thank the chef and those who had charge of the meals and those who served them; also the janitor for his extra services." Donations were: 2nd Baptist Church, $.....

LADIES WHO SOLICITED FOOD Second Baptist Church, Mrs. Mar- Five Cents Per Copy LYNCNING AND HERETIC BURNING COMPARED BY ALDOUS HUXLEY NEW York, Feb. 1—Writing in the February issue of Vanity Fair, under the title "In Praise of Intolerance," Aldous Huxley, well known young English author and essayist, compares lynching in America with the now departed practice of burning religious heretics. In his article, of which a quotation is relayed by the N. A. A. C. P., he says: "Heretics are now less frequently tortured and killed than in the past. The only heretics who now run the risk of being burnt alive are those who happen to have black skins and whose misfortune it is to have been born in the lynching belt of North America." OILING THE LAW-MAKING MACHINERY Our law-making machinery for both State and Federal governments is well oiled up. If all the measures proposed during 1929, were passed, one could not turn around without breaking a law, and enforcement would be impossible. As it is, insurance, banking, public utilities and railroads—the backbone of our industrial structure—will be unreasonably harassed. Numerous measures will be proposed to increase the taxes on business or restrict it in its field of operation. In the meantime, the managers of business will have to maintain payrolls, keep up production, pay the Bulk of the taxes to supprot government and find new capital to make needed extensions and improvements to care for the demands of the public. tha Hardy, Mrs. Martha Evans and Rev.

H FITZWATER D. ), Dead Monday Bithie Institute of Chicago ( 10, 1922 ) Western Newspaper Union Lesson for February 10 REPENTANCE AND FAITH LESSON TEXT—Acts 33:39 Luke 13 11:28. GOLDEN TEXT—Repent ye, and be believe in the gospel. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Boy Who Was Sorry. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Boy Who Was Sorry. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC - Turning from Slob to God IC—Turning From Sin to God YOUNG PEOPLE, AND ADULT TOP IC—The Way to Perseverance. 1. Jesus Is Lord and Christ (Acts 2:32:30). In order to induce repentance and faith, Jesus must be presented as both Lord and Christ. The presentation of Jesus as even the unusual son of Joseph and Mary will not convict of sin. One reason for the vanishing sense of sin is the failure of ministers and Sunday School teachers to declare the Lordship and Messiahship of Jesus of Nazareth. Peter proved Jesus to be Lord and Christ by 1. The miracles which he wrought (Acts 2:22). He performed before the very eyes of the people such mighty deeds as to demonstrate His Lordship. 2. His resurrection from the dead (Acts 2:24:32). 3. The outpouring of the Spirit (Acts 2:15-21). Peter declared that the coming of the Spirit on Pentecost was the fulfilment of Joel's prophecy II. Repent and Believe the Gospel (Acts 2:37-39). Peter's gospel message convolted the Jews of their sins. When they cried out he commanded them to repent and be baptized. The evidence of their faith in Christ was manifested in their conviction of sin, and their penitence was shown in their confession of Christ in baptism III. The Forgiving God (Luke 15:11-24). The center of things in this pivable is not the prodigal son, nor his brother, but the "certain man who had two sons." This narrative is a most picturesque and dramatic portrayal of the history of man from his fall to his reconciliation with God. 1. The son's inabordination (v. 12). He became tired of the restraints of home. His desire for freedom moved him willingly to choose to leave home—to throw off the constraint of his father's rule. Sin is the desire to indulge selfish purposes, free from the restraint of rightful authority. At the request of the son, the father "divided unto them his living." Man is a free being. God has committed unto man his own destiny. 2. The son's departure (v. 13). Having made the fateful decision, he immediately sought the fulfilment of his cherished purpose. The son could not now endure the presence of his father, so he gathered all together and hastened away. When the sinner casts off allegiance to God, he takes all that he has with him. 3. The son's degeneration (vv. 13, 14). He had a good time while his money lasted, but the end came quickly. From plenty in his father's house to destination in a far country was a short journey. 4. The son's degradation (vv. 15, 16) His money exhausted, he was driven to hire himself to a citizen to feed swine. It is ever so. Those who will not serve God are made slaves to the devil to do his blinding (Rom 6:11) In his shame and disgrace he could not get necessary food 5. The son's restoration (vv. 17-24) (1) He came to himself (v. 17) Reflection made him conscious that though he had wronged his father and ruined himself, he was still his father's son. (2) His resolution (v. 19). Memory's picture of his home, where even the hired servants had a super abundance, moved him to make a decision to leave the far country and go home. (3) His confession (vv. 18, 19). He acknowledged that his son was against heaven and his father, that he had forfeited his right to be called a son, and begged to be given a place as a hired servant. (4) His action (v. 20). His resolution does not avail unless accompanied with action. When the concession is genuine, action will follow. (5) His reception by his father (vv. 20-24). So anxious was he for him that he run to meet him and fell upon his neck and kissed him. Why Judge Thy Brother? Why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at thought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.—Iom 14:10, 11. Sunrise, says the philosopher, is a splendid pledge to me that God purposes.—The American Magazine. B. Y P. U. LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 615 W. BABASH AVENUE SUNDAY, FEBRUARY, 10. Subject: 'Jesus Teaching Us to Serve" Text, Matt. 20:28. Jesus taught the life of service by word and act. He shows that we are made for service and that we will be happy and content in proportion to the worthy, faithful service we render, humanity. The Christ service dignifies the task and magnifies the servant. He, (Christ) accepts heart service, only, not a should or must service, but a will and voluntary services In our lesson, an anxious mother asks of the two chief places in what she thought would be a temporal kingdom. She worshipped Christ as a God but petitions Him as a King. Jesus sought to enlighten her by a questionaire. He informs her that these places of honor come through service. The disciples were indignant at this mother's request, possibly the church, then as now, was affected with selfishness and jealousy. Jesus held forth the notion that promotion was inevitable through faithful service. THOUGHTS. There are many today who have the wrong notion of the kingdom. Soul power should determine the official staff for the kingdom. When one is prepared for a worthy position, God will discover him and promote him to the place of trust. That for which one is created will be his to enjoy if he lives and serves faithfully. The number we serve rather than the number that serve us determines our greatness.

JAMES, Corresponding Sec'y. 1220 OTTAWA IDEAS and in the age of radios. Before this world was formed and fashioned there was no one who existed, who spoke the world into existence without the aid of anyone. There isn't a book other than the Bible that is found, that will throw any manner of light about God. Words are messengers. Eternity had no beginning, but this world had a beginning. We cannot draw a picture of God, because no man has seen Him—we cannot localize Him. The things God has set forth will come up on time. God will complete the work He begins. Time began when God made day and night in the beginning of this world, and its wonders cannot be explained without the Bible. No man has been wise enough to stop day and night. At the end of six days, God rested—men should find time to rest. The fact that we have a city of the living and the dead, is proof of the fact that God had abridged our lives here. Jesus is the bridge that abridges the chasm that separates man from God. He is the same God today that He was in the beginning. God is watching over the church." Mrs. Katherine Cunningham will entertain the Bethany Church Aid Club, Friday afternoon. The Senior Mission Circle will meet with Mrs. C. A. Spottsville, Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Calvin White and Mrs. Forest Wilkerson surprised their father Mr. Green Hudson, with a birthday dinner, Wednesday.

THERE is a wonderful difference in the mind of State Senator Blood and Jesus Christ. Christ's last words were that we should be one, and asked His Father to make us one as they (Holy Spirit, Son and God) were one before the foundation of the world. Senator Blood wants us to live apart, go to school apart, and go to church apart. In fact, as long as this spirit dominates, there will be classes, clashes and divisional troubles. We look for these numberless tribes in heathen lands, where ignorance and superstitions, without God is supreme, but if he was a man who would say, "I am a Christian, elected to represent a Christian people, instead of offering a bill to seperate the schools of Wichita. The idea leads from God and makes strangers of God's children. The ruling power of all the schools are in the white man's hands, and still he is worried. Why train two or more allies in one country? It only means destruction in the future. Suppose, and then, if one is right, all is right, that every nation represented in Wichita should be legislated to itself, there would be as many tribes in our city, as there are in Africa, or in any other part of the world. Let us pray for the will of God and remember Senator Blood. WORK is a pleasure for those who have futures, and are laboring to teach desired goals. THE old Christians, who know how to live, (as you are the sons of God) backed up by years of experience, should help the young people, and especially young Christians to live. We should feel responsible for the death of Brother Howard Jackson, who professed a hope in Christ when very young, but by neglect, or mistreatment or a false notion of life, desired to stop the way he was going or being treated, with death; so a few months ago, fell into the Little Arkansas River. His body was recovered Tuesday. It is a sad fact that he is no more with us, but is a far sadder fact if God is holding us (the Christian family) responsible for this untimely death. He once sought pleasure among the Christians, attended the services and sang in the choir, but who said the cruel word, or committed the harsh act that made him desire that life was not worth living. Don't you think that God sent His angel to catch that professed soul and marked his blood on our hands? There is pleasure in serving God and the young people ought to be led in that pleasure in the home, S. S., B. Y. P. U., and Church. They should be encouraged as long as their love for the work and their ability would allow it. They should be sent to religious gatherings and placed anywhere to strengthen their home. Our boy left to go find a friend, We were too thoughtless to defend; He tried God's children' love first, But because he was young, he was cussed. One night alone,, heart broken and afraid, He struggled, desired to live, love, and be fed; On things that make for hope and joy, But nothing in his life, but facts of annoy. He decided that, God gave the soul to me And I found no friend to help me be What the Lord would desire of life. So, I shall send it back out of this strife. Alone this house stayed beneath the waves, To give time for men to see what a deed, grave And decide, I do not, nor do you, care.
