Emphasis cannot Le placed or. the enforcement of the Eighteenth Ameidment while no ats tention is paid to the non-enforce- nent of the Tourteenth end Fife teenth Amendments, Have we not been told repeatedly that the Qon- stitution is equally binding upon e.erybody in all provisions? Dewn in El Paso, L, A, Nixon, a Negro physician, hasbeen since 1925 engaged in what fs os yet a sam attempt to secure from the State of Texas, a recognition of his constitu. ‘tional rights. He has filed another suit against election officials for their alleged refural to allow him to vote in the primary of last August. We is teating out the validity of a State law which empowers political parties to prescribe the quabifica- tions of primary election voters, in the application of which Negro cit- izens can be, and have been, aepriv- ed of the rights accorded white cit- iznes, Four years ago, Dr, Nixon brought a race discrimination suit in the Federal court which was dis- iniseed; but the United States Su- preme Court reversed the decision and awarded him $1.00 damages, The Natioral Association for the Advancement of Colored People is paying the costs of Dz, Nixon's lat- test efforts to obtain the rights and privileges accorded Negroes under the Constitution, It regads the pri- mary law passed by the Texas Leg- Islature as a fubterfuge to get around the Supreme Court’s previous decision. It says that these cases “constitute the first blow in @ cam- paign to procure for the Negro the vote throughout the South.” No Negro ever voted in the Ala- ama County in which Mr. Malone lives! How does that square the provisions of the Constitution that no state shall deprive any person within its jurisdiction of the equal protection of the laws and that no State shall deny or abridge the right of its citizens to vote on account of race or color? Is it a matter of no consequence whatsoever that the Negro citizen is denied the exercise of his consti- tutional rights throughout the? Suuth? It it consistent to abrogate the natural liberties vouchsafed to the people under the Constitution while refusing to heed those consti tutional provisions which are intend. ed to protect the political rights of large numbers of citizens? If it would be constitute a nulification of the Constitution ta repeal the act designed to enforce the Eighteenth ‘Amendment, is not the Constitution nullified by the refusal of Congress to pass an act for the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments While the question of having re- spect for the law and observance of law, and enforcement of law is now uppermost should not President Hoover's disinterested and impartial commission pay just a Hittle atten- tion to the Southern defiance of a plain mandate of the Constitution? sion and a fine visit.

U, LESSON SUNDAY, SEPT. 1, 1923. | Subj. “Being Loyal to Our Work.” Text Matt. 16:21-25; Neh. 6:1-3. No Christian should attempt an unworthy task, but the character of his work should be worthy of the best within him. First of all, he should be interested in the service that blesses humanity, Loyalty is indicative of character. The character of an individual is stamped upon the work he does. Jesus is the highest example of loyalty tom worthy cause. No price was too great for him to pay to establish the Kingdom. He counted the Cause more valuable than life itself, Peter sald, “Save your life,” but Jesus says, “Save the Cause,” and in that very act, we save ‘our life. The enemies of a good cause strive to hinder it by sowing the seed of disloyalty among Its supporters but Jove and faith hold on. To prove disloyal to a worthy cause at the time of greatest need fs treason, No Christian should ally himself with any cause which he cannot give wholehearted sup- port. The workmen is known by his work. The man who gives whole- hearted service leaves his imprint upon his work. Osawatomie Doings MRS. ROSA JACKSON, Rep (Continued from last week) Rev, P. G.

SUBSCRIPTION PLATE, Ws « --- LOVE BY. M. LIVINGSTON 1. What is Man's Duty Toward God? 2. To His Fellowman? 3. To His Country? 4. To His Home? 5. To His Church? Continued from last week) It is a great pleasure to me at this time with the spirit of God leading me to give you some of my last thoughts on "Man's Duty Toward His country as a law-abiding Citizen." It is a fact that we know that there can and will be nothing worthwhile accomplished unless a deal of intereste is manifested on the part of those who may expect to receive something for nothing. What does one expect to gain where he has not labored at all? How would one expect to achieve a victory where he has not pitched a battle; how can one expect to live in a country and enjoy the happiness thereof and be a slacker? A dodger—Can one feel satisfied on the blind baggage of a fast mail, not knowing how long before it will be derailed? Will a man live in a country forever and not put forth any effort to help make it safe for Democracy? Will a man walk the streets of a city continually and enjoy the labor of some one else, and not make any effort to help make the city a place fit, in which to live, and yet find fault of what has been done by others. Will a man walk on the paved side-walk in front of some one else's door, and step off in the mud in front of his own door? Will a man enjoy driving his car on the pavement down town, and then enjoy the unpaved streets up town where he lives? Shall we all labor together and impoove our country, or shall we stand back and say it's not mine? Shall one live in a civilized country where men and women are doing their bit to make it a country of happiness, and yet will not move a peg to help carry on responsibilities? Shall one come out to the front or stay in the backgrounds? Why should we grumble at paying tax, gas, light and water bills, when we are looking for first class service? Can first class service be given without cost? Will any one sit down and sleep on his rights then criticize that one who was awake, taking hold of opportunities, making the best of life while that one was sleeping on his rights? Why cannot all see the necessity of co-operation in all things: in enterprises, in business, in home life, in our cities, counties, states and in the entire country? Why can we not all realize that it takes a whole nation to make a country what it ought to be by co-operation? For out of the very same dust of the earth, God made all nations to dwell upon the face of all the earth, and back to the same dust, some day we shall all return; all that we have accumulated by the sweat of the brow and laid up here, we will surely leave or someone to enjoy—those who have not labored for it; should not we all labor together and share with the other such things as will be needful to make a country what it ought to be? Who made the earth, the heavers, the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the hills, the seas, the cattle, the beasts, fowl, fish, the great whales, the silver, gold, brass, iron and everything are not all of these the handwools of God? Can man change any of their movements; when all these things were being made, where was man, when God called His council together and planned to make all these things? Since we know that all things belong to God, why not stop worrying about the things of life? Why do we go whining about what does Lot suit us or what is n't right? What is man's duty to his country? It is to stand by the rules, laws and regulations of things that has been adopted by the people of the country as pertaining to what it takes to make a safe Democracy where human must live; and to put your hand to the plow and your shoulder to the wheel and help turn over new soil that life may be worthwhile. O God, our Maker, and Creation on all things; the God that stood on empty air, the God that shined out from behind the clouds, the God that stroke time into existence, the God that gave the word, and the Son of righteousness shined out with healing in His wings, before Logos and Lucifus, or the morning stars sang together; Thou hast always been in existence. The God of all glory help us to know what our duty is to our country; help us to know what our talent is; help us to do hands find to do, that is to make possible those things which seem impossible; help us to know that if we fail to help carry the burden we do not our duty, and fall short of a losing. Help us to know Thou art the only true God, and if we leav You cut of our program, we make a failure; heup us to trust You for all things and try You for all things, and that we may manifest our civilization and our Christian duty to our country, by so acting, and that we will not think that God is no shorter than the word spoken by Faul: Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. Let us all have the brotherly love for the other and realize our own country will only be what we make it. (This ends 3rd tople of article) (Article to be continued) S Tabernacle Church REV. M. C.
