I forgetful of my own desperate condition, I found myself constantly with my head slightly lowed, and my first placed firmly beneath my chin, not un'the "Rodina Thinker," struggling to divine the pageantry of laughter and of sorrow that transpired auditory strange about me. To my left a lean, gaunt figure arises directly to an open door before him—his expression is one of sorrow and his steps are tardy as tho' he were crossing the "Bridge of Eights." Before me is a woman well attended and likewise accorded the every attention of those who bore her burden—but she sobbed her sorrow in tones of agony that would not be controlled. Further up the aisle I hear the creams of a gigantic figure—wild eyed and with the deseration of a madman, he clutches at the knob of the door, but crumples to the floor as the wrath of the judgment were upon him. Without doubt, tho' I the woe of those unfortunates will surely break my heart! The scene is changed. From a small group above me I hear the laughter I see the tears of gladness —teens big and soft as the first expression of a mother's love. What meaneth this? It is reported that the surgeon's knife altered the course of withering hope, and a veritable corpse comes forth rejoicing. What joy—unbounded what sorrow unexpressed—what a strange adventure of joy and sorrow! More than once the clerk pounded heavily on the desk for my attention. The intense but realistic human arm is over—and for the first time since entering its doors, I realized that my own piteous condition was as common as those whose desperation a few moments ago I had so slightly deplored the knife of the surgeon has wrought its change in my own life, and the very foolish notion that the hospital is a house of terror, has been changed to the realization that it is a most potential factor in the life of the physically oppressed and the sick.

Topcka News Notes ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH REV. A. L. BRANCH, PASTOR Last week was great at our church beginning Monday Jan. Gthing Sun. Jan. 12th. This was the 5th anniversary of our pastor and wife; at which time a great many appreciations were given as appreciation of their five years' service. He has not only enlarged Antloch numerically, but spiritually as well. This church as a whole feels very grateful ward them and feel that if God will continue to bless us we will still go forward. This was a week of information and inspiration. Monday evening was Deaconess Trustees and Draconess program. Evening devotional was conducted by Bro. W. M. Brooks and Mrs. O. Anderson very interesting talk was made by Mr. W. Davies on the subject: "The Progress of the Church in the Past Five Years." His talk was very interesting and enloved by all. Dr. W. Graves also made a fine talk the same subject. Sermon by R. C. W. Williams of Stirl Bartlett C. Tuesday evening was the event CALLED TO A LARGER FIELD Rev. S. A. Williams, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, Concord, Kansas has been unanimously called to the St. Paul Baptist Church, Los Angeles, California, the and largest Baptist Church in the state of California, with a memorial of active members. We are resistant to give him up, he has been the back Lone, or I may stay, he has been as a father for the church while here. His work the past five years has been miraculous; it has been all his phenomenal. I for the past year 1520 he contributed $6300, not counting his contributions, prior to this time We are losing a Christian young man, a man called of God, a sapient scholar; versatile in his make up, crudite in his leadership. He is leaving a well organized church, with 15 auxiliaries functioning independently of each other. It has organized a City Wide Community Mission Circle, thought it, many baskets have been distributed to the unfortunate. He has also organized a City Wide Prayer Band; he has a well organized official staff consisting of fifty well trained members. Rev. Williams is known as one of the leading 'money raising" ministers of the State of Kansas. We are reluctant to see Pastor Williams leave, Lut we realize it is the Providence of God, that he is going to a better and larger field in the Golden West. He has served well and has put his whole soul, body and mind into the work. Pastor Williams is a whole-hearted man. May he live long to preach a profound Gospel. Through his preaching many souls have found their way to Christ. He is an elegant speaker, a man filled with the Holy Ghost. He is to be commended for his untiring work. During his ministerial career his sermons have been wholesome, practical as well as spiritual. His work shall long be remembered in the hearts and minds of the members of the Calvary Baptist Church. His reminiscence will live through the ages. Pastor Williams is a man of no mean ability. I can truthfully say he is a straight forward Christian man. He will be sadly missed by the devoted members of the Calvary Baptist Church, where he has so faithfully labored, also by his many friends in the State of Kansas He has our heartfelt wishes and warmest congratulation for success in the larger and better field in the Golden West; and may we say as the poet:— "Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us, Foot prints on the sand of time."

NEGRO CONRESS MAN SPEAKS BE FORE THE HOUSE In a recent address before the House, Congressman Oscar DePriest proved the worth of a race representative before this law making and governing powers of the United States in urging the appointment of a commission to Haiti. He feels that it should be men, who have the rights of the people at heart. He believes commission should go over and study and they should be developed by their own characteristics and home rules with freedom of will and power for action. He feels that they should be guided and taught and left to choose for the best interest of this peculiar people. He thinks that the present military rules and power exercised over them will leave them a more helpless people in 1936 when the treaties shall end. He thinks a these black Frenchmen from their point of view and help them develop their views than to make them accept the views of another nation in exclusion of theirs. He thinks no race or people can be their best when held and guided by power of might instead of power of knowledge and choice; nor can any nation Jr., Circle gave a very inspiring program a special feature being a black board talk, "Our Lives in 1930;" by Juanita Cumming.

We came last year at eight o'clock without delay, This year, we came in the morning and stayed all day. At ten o'clock, the B. Y. P. U. did convene, At eleven-thirty, the S. S. came on the scene, At one-thirty we dismissed for dinner, And, say folks! It surely was a winner. With turkey and goose, duck, chicken and ham, And lots of other good things we our stomachs did cram. We ate and ate until we could eat no more, Then went up stairs to see what the women had in store, For at two-thirty they began their annual meeting, And what they gave us was a spiritful feeding. eee Improved Uniform International 4 § } SundaySches!

"The trouble with waiting for something to turn up is that in the meantime you may be turned down." "Don't judge humanity by the newspapers. The fact is decency is so common, nobody talks about it."
