THE LYNCHING PENNANT: RACE Ihe tynching pastime continues to be a hot rate vetween Mississippi and Florsaa, Mississippi, decidedly against playing waiting game, moved into an early Jead with the dawn of the New Year with one shot and burned at the stake. Florida, composed of several good pastime towns, came back with one shot. There the score rested until July. Since then Mississippi chalked up an additional score and marched ahead of Florida by three to one. All the victims of the mobs. both in Florida and Mississippi, were Ne- procs, But Florida became exasper- ated In the pennant race for savage- ry and hit a home run on the wrong pitcher, Florida, if you please lynch- a white man, And now the score favors for Mississippi three to two, but Florida gets the most credit for being the most barbarous In the league, The lynching pastime was resur- rected by our American white broth- ern to “keep the Negro in his place,” whatever that may mean. Accord; ing to the latest report of the N. A, GC, P., snd the Tuskegee Workman, the dear brothers have done a pretty pood fob of it, for they didn’t lynch xo many last year an the year before, If the four Negro victims were Iwnched to “keep the Nogro in his race” and to prove the genuineness ef white superfoilty, what In the narre of God was the white man lynched to prova In Lake City? lent sermon at evening, The A.

PRIMARY TOPIC—Rebuilding Gods House After becoming settled in the towns surrounding Jerusalem, the people were called together for the purpose of establishing the worship of the Lord God. The leaders in this movement were Joshua and the priests and Zerubbabel, the governor. In view of the fact that the clearing away of the debris of the old city and temple and the erection of the new temple would take a long time, an altar was erected where sacrifice might be offered at once unto God. Upon this newly erected altar were offered the regular sacrifices commanded by Moses including those of the Feast of Tabernacles (Hera 3:17). 1. The Foundation of the Temple Laid (3:8-13). This was an auspicious occasion and was celebrated with most impres sive ceremonies. 1. The priests' apparel (v. 10). These garments symbolized their consecra tion to the Lord's service. 2. The priests with trumpets (v. 10). The trumpets were used in ca lling together the people. 3. The Levites with cymbals (v. 10). This was according to the ar rangement made by David (1 Chron 15:10-21). 4. They sang together by course (v. 11). This means that they sang to one another responsively. The one company sang, "The Lord is good," the other responded, "For this mercy on dureth forever." 5. Mingled weeping and sighing (vv. 12, 13). Some of the older men who had seen the magnificent temple of Solomon, which had been destroyed wept much when they saw how far short the present foundation came of the former temple. Others were glad of the favor of God which had brought them back, and that a beginning was made in the new house of worship. II. The Building of the Temple Hindered (ch. 4). The lending adversaries were the Samaritans, a mongrel people—the offspring of the poor Jews who were left in Palestine and the foreign people who were sent into Palestine after the Jews were taken captive. The three perils which delayed the building of the temple for about fourteen years revealed the persistent methods which the enemy uses to hinder the program of God's people in every age. 1. An unintelligent possitism (3: 12) Under the circumstances, a glorious beginning had been made. Many today, because things are not quite what they should be, do not go forward with a constructive program, but even hinder those who have the hopeful outlook. In spite of all the evil forces at work to thwart the purpose of God, the Christian church should push forward its program of evangelization. 2. Wordly compromise (1:2. 3) "Let us build with you, for we seek your God." This is Satan's most common and effective method. God's children should not seek the world's putronage in building churches and carrying on its work. The leaders should declare with Zerubbabel, "We have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God." 3. Opposition by word (4:424). When refused a part in the work intimidation and political scheming were used by the enemies to defeat the building plan of God's people. III. The Temple Finished (v. 4). Through the ministry of the prophets Haggal and Zechariah, people were encouraged to resume enthusiastically the work of building the temple. When the temple was finished, it was dedicated to God. IV. The Blessedness of Dwelling in God's House (Its 84:1-4). 1. The longing of the soul for God's house (vv. 1, 2). It is refreshing when people long to meet God in His house. 2. The sparrow and swallow find protection in the sacred precepts of God's house (v. 3). 3. Dwelling in God's house (v. 4). Those who have a heart for God find their chief delight in dwelling in His house. Keep Going Our new science of flying teaches us that a plane will not go down as long as it can go on. The birds have long known this and they fly. Keep going, believing, hoping, loving, and you cannot go under! What Will the Master Say? Will it matter at last whether you have been rich or just lived from hand to mouth? What will the Master say? Ah! that is the question.—Dr. J. B. Shaw. ELWOOD NOTES Rev. D. G.

Evening worship; Pastor being out of town., Rev. Green was in charge; Scripture reading by Bro. Christopher, Luke fourteenth chapter. One united with the church. Rev. Green preached from Acts sixteenth chapter and 30th verse. The words of the jailer were used. What Must I do to be saved. Rev. Green impressed forcibly how Paul and Silas prayed in jail. LOVE BY. M. LIVINGSTON 1. What is Man's Duty Toward God? 2. To His Fellowman? 3. To His Countrys? 4. To His Home? 5. To His Church? We as civilized people and in a Gospel country should be so interested in this God-land that if we hear of a destruction somewhere should get busy and nt be contented until you know that you have done your best in carrying out your pait of the program to achieve a victory over the opposer. How can one be happy when he is fortunate to be in good circumstances and a brother undergoing persecution and some poorly stitched conditions; some destitute. We as citizens of a country should be interested in our country, that we will come together and form organizations, that we all may be united and cemented together so much so that if there should come a reason understanding, between some persons, that an investigation could be made by a committee and see that it would be no collisions on the part of those who misunderstand. Men ought to be so united in one body or as one body in Christ, for when you leave Christ out of the program, that is when the misunderstandings and clashes between races occur. We as citizens of a country should always stand up for principle and love our own; and since being in a mixed country, with nationalities of all kinds, and we all have to do with casting the vote for various kinds of laws, and since we know that the laws are made for the disobedient, whether it be citizen or stranger; or even your own children; we shall receive our portion of what is for us. Christian people should not be bothered about an officer, they are Christian's protection and yet you do not need the law for protection for I say unto you as many church and school institutions as there are in this country, and as many people as are in this country who are Christians, and those who pretend to be Christians, or I may add: if all the people in this country who go to church roll, and those standing at the church roll, and those standing at the head of various organizations and some who are given an opportunity, would look after the well-being of others and the things that are of God then this would be a changed world. I will name a few things that I believe Christians are responsible for: namely; Prejudice, discrimination, segregation, hatred, enmity, evils, begrudgfulness, malice and deceit. These with many others, which time will not permit me to mention, were brought to rights and those saying they are Christians were really so performing their Christian duty toward their fellowman, their country and church, bowing on their needs in humble submission to God, holding up the name of Jesus, proving to the world the New Testament standard is right, being what you profess, come out from the world, prejudice would be broken down between nations, the program would be carried out, and lynching and burning at the stake would cease; there would be no cause for the gallows and the electric chair, race riots, etc—all of these sinful deeds would be done away with; without love and without Christ, it cannot be done. We who know these sayings are true, also know that when we fail to do what is commanded in these matters, will fall short of the blessing, and also will not be able to accomplish the things desired; for when we fail to heed the warning, it will surely be your downfall; for when one is not right, that one is surely wrong—it is impossible to be both at the same time. We are all weighed in the balance and are given toward according to what we weigh out; or we are measured by what the tape reaches, that is all. If we reach 50, sixty or 100 furlongs, we are given credit therefore in our country and to make a country what ought to be, we must shoulder the responsibility in all lines of showing the world our duty to our country, which is to stand by our obligations and help to make it safe for democracy. Sunday School opened at 9:30 with children on time. The lesson was well discussed by all readers by the pastor. At 11 a.m. devotion was led by our pastor. Afterwhkh our Diet Supt. Rev. A.

HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue ARE MISSIONS PROVING SUC CESSFUL7 Rom. 10.9 15. Christ is the author of Mission, and He is too wise to authorize a failing enterprise. Mission impiles God, man and revelation—A God to send a man to carry and a revelation to proclaim. The essence of missions is the spirit of Christ, it permeates both the message and the messenger. The program of Mission is the outgrowth of a passion to proclaim the good news to a lost world. Missions are proving successful wherever the message of the kingdom is being proclaimed. The promise is being fulfilled in that the world has not returned void. In every land, missions are proving the only remedy for the world's ills. Faith in the resurrection and courage to confess the Chrift that no one is eternal life. Men believe in their heart and declare what they believe with their mouth. Faith removes shamp. The conditions of salvation is the same for all; neither race nor poverty matter, its the call of faith that heaven answers. Man must hear to believe, must believe to call must have a preacher to hear and the preacher must be sent of God to preach. St Mary Barr Church REV J E DOUGLASS. FASTOR MRS. MYRTLE SAUNDERS.
