Aug. 19- After their final weekly radio appearance for the summer over WAP I hear tonight, three musical groups of the Alabama State Teachers College under the supervision of Willis James, Musical Director, hit the trail in their big White Bus for the extended trip of five weeks that will take them to Illinois, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania. The Male Quartette, the thirty-piece band and the "Bama State Collegians" - crack ten piece dance combination - constitute the groups to be used on this tour. The male quartette and the band will be presented in Chicago and in Detroit at the meetings of National Convention and the Elks Grand Lodge respectively. The Alabama State band led the Alabama delegation in the Grand Parade at Detroit on August 26. "The Barna State Collegians" will do the heaviest assignment. They coached with a dare engagement at Louisville on August 21 and followed with appointments at the New Maronic Auditorium in Evanston on August 22, at the Binga Arcade in Chicago on August 23, at the New Majestic Ballroom in Detroit on August 21 (Midnight Ball), at Pontiac Michigan on August 20, ta the Douglass Club in Kalamazoo, Michigan on August 27, at Pittsburg on August 28 and at the Imperial Auditorium in New York on August 30.

A Adams Ask you what is the greatest need In interest of human weal, Amid this age of rampant greed? No arduous task 'tis to reveal, For greatest need, is but a plan To haste 'the brotherhood of man." Would you see end of cruel strife And war, that hellish means employ, In malice against human life, And best of mankind to destroy? With those who strive, march in the van, To haste, the brotherhood of man." Would you have e'en an humble share In conquest of defiant Wrong? Then, with all diligence, prepare With soul inspired and courage strong To do the very best you can To paste "the Brotherhood of man." St. Matthew C. M. E. Ch. REV. C. M. HAWKINS, PASTOR J. L.

Friday evening, 7:30 Teachers We are yet having high services. Our pastor preached two soul arousing sermons last Sunday. Sunday morning, though it rained we had a fair attendance, mostly children, as the grown-ups allowed the rain to hold them away from S. S. Tuesday night as had been announced and expected, the young boy preacher did arrive, but however, we enjoyed a spiritual feast; we were bursed with having a boy Gospel Singer, a young white brother who can really sing the Gospel. He gave us a spiritual side in song and then Pro. Winston of the Y. M. C. A. brought us a message from, "Come see a man who has told me everything I have done." All present seem to enjoy the message. Next Sunday Aug. 31. we are also expecting to be a high day. Don't fail to "come with us and we will do thee good." Pastor Hawkins is invited and expected to be in Paxley, Kans., Sunda night and preach the Sunday nighe sermon for his brother, Pav. II. P. Hawkins. As many as will are invited to go and be with the pastor. JUST KIDS—The Old Argument! WELL TOMMY JONES! YOU JES' READ ABOUT MARY QUEEN OF SCOTLAND AND QUEEN ELIZABETH!

INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN COLLEGE NATIONAL THREE IN ONE MEETING A SUCCESS CHICAGO, ILL., Aug. 27--The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, Woman's Home and Foreign Mission and National Conventions all attended of in a joint meeting Aug. 14, at the Olivet Baptist Church, Presidents, W. H. Jernagin, Willie T. Layten and L. K. Williams, present and regulating their own meetings. The church proved to be too small on the start and still they came until about 15 or more thousand were present. The second day they opened in the coliseum with the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress in departmental work in rooms in the Haven School a cross the street and the Woman's Convention in the North annex, while the south annex was used for State exhibits and booth for different sales of Negro products, and exhibits. The moving of the people from place to place for the lack of understanding made them a little restless. The pre-convention night was really a musical treat a wonderful chorus of a thousand voices under the direction of Prof. Garner was up to the minute. The solos, duets, quartets choruses, both men and women and instrumentals, were from the best talent of the city. Each convention held its business inspiring ard edifynic session on the joint session program and satisfied the people of the value and safety of the work. The officers were re-elected, only vacancies by death were filled. The convention became a little rough during the National Convention election, while they were giving the ones, who wanted Dr. J. C. Austin, time to make speeches, but the will of the people was soon expressed when the votes were taken and Dr. Williams was elected President. Wonderful things are brought out in the history and programs from the different States, for the 50 years of Baptist activities. The pulpit and new of the church where the National Convention was organized in Montgomery, Ala., was used during the sessions. One night was given to a pageant which represented the 50 years of progress; it was very instructive and entertaining. The sermons and addresses were all along the line of the 50 years of growth of the Baptist under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Many of the outstanding members of our race addresses, during the State programs, Kansas was very inspiring with State Song composed by Mrs. J. W. Hayes, yella led by Rev. Chas Favors Solo by Miss Thelma Jackson and History by Rev. G. N. Jackson. LABOR DAY THOUGHTS Labor Day approaches. There will be parades, bands, picnics, fireworks THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM A faithful member of the church at Paola, Kansas, and President of the District Sunday School Convention who passed to her reward, last week will be greatly raised in the entire community for her untiring efforts for Christian uplift. and racket galore. There will be speeches, arangues, rantings, orations sane and insane. The workingman will be cannorized and the capitalist demonized. There will be charges, accusations, indictments, criminals, threats, and incitements to lawlessness in the name of justice. Much will be said of capitalism; of Mr. Gerard's "King in a Republic;" ot Roosevelt's "predatory wealth" ard his "malefactors of great wealth"--and so the course will run. The socialists, anarchists, communists, nihilists, bolshevists, and the great hordes of corglomerate yet heterogeneous "jets" will spout and whine, and spatter, and cry, and importune, and threat—and damn! They will paint wonderful pictures of the "Utopia," the "Atlantis," the "Ideal Commonwealth," the social 'Eden.' when the capitolists shall be dethroned, their wealth ocnfiscated and distributed and the government of the world shall pass into the hands of the "proletariat," and those who now constitute what they term the submerged and trampled elements of human society. Weded to the effete, dubl and theory that "the end justifies the means," these paragons of wisdom, these self-appointed saviors of mankind, these wonderful discoverers of the panacca for all social ills, these destructionists of all ills, will justify and advocate incindiarism and sabotage, peace blockades, coercion, and even murder. Wherever they may have opportunity and can find auditors, representatives of the ruling class will defend their philosophy, their attitude, and justify their "modus operandi." They will expose the fallacies and ridicule the fantastic vagaries of the malcontents. They will urge law enforcement, subjuration of the criminal hood, and defend the present industry, econom. WHAT DOES JESUS MEAN TO ME? WHAT DOES JESUS MEAN TO ME? Delivered by W. L. Hutcherson Over Station KILL. The Radio Vesper Hour Sunday August, 17 1930. (Continued from last issue) Problem. Similarly, no Negro of today could discuss Jesus and His meaning without sooner or later re- flecting upon His meaning to him- self from a racial point of view. Perhaps the very inwardness of my tong does not respond to this racial use, but surely most of my self and my thoughts do. How could it be otherwise when I recall the experi- ences and view the present condition of my race. The fact is that portion of the meaning of Jesus to me which I cherish aort, is mine to cherish as highly as I do because I am a Negro; I doubt if it could be so it I were a white man. Jesus therefore leads me to be thankful for my racial connection. In spite of stigmas imposed from without, in spite of discriminations, in spite of the body of obloquy that one so often faces I would say with Booker Washington: "If I were to be born over again and mine were the choice of circumstances amid which to be born and live, I would pray God to be born a Negro." And it is clear that this is no choice of what is ordinarily regarded as the easier road. Many men of African blood to-day must look out on life and see nothing but loads to be carried. If it is a song to be sung, a picture to be painted, a career to be realized, even a service to be rendered, there are barriers to be overcome which exist primarily because of one's race. This may be due to complex of three centuries of political and economic development which have to-day encircled the world of race relationships with their legislative, economic and social barriers; it may be due to restrictions and inhibitions which Africans bring with them from their isolated past: or it may be due to ignorance, prejudice and fear, base offspring of all men's dark suspicious past, which blight their growth and freedom in this day of a needed world community. Whatever the reason or cause, I, a Negro and all my fellows must cheerfully, constructfully, determinedly and hopefully face and deliberately choose a life whose path is strewn with stones. For souls of strength, the stones add zest to the task and constitute the struggle which draws out whatever one possesses,--but this does notminimize the difficulties. Now such a life and a choice are doubtless for others facilitated by various causes; for me also some of these causes exist, but there is one source of all that helps me to make the right choice; that source is Jesus. The explanation may be involve or it may be more simple; take your choice. For me Jesus lived, saw, felt, noted, died. His living, seeing, feeling acting and dying were a great and impressive revelation of truth, truth for me absolute, of grandeur in the milest of shame, of victory such as the God that Jesus reveals could wish all His followers to achieve. This unparalleled revelation has for millions who have learned of Jesus been compelling; for me it also suffices and on its basis I would make my choice. For me therefore Jesus makes my racial lot a happy ore and by his life, teaching and death reveals to me the inwardness of the reality I face as a Negro, gives me a desire to deal with that inwardness and provides for me the method and the spirit of my action. But if Jesus makes me love my race, and gives me the desire, the motive and the means for expressing that love, by the same token He leads me into an appreciation of co-operation with other races. In the limited sphere in which He moved, Jesus was essentially a believer, and a bold ore at that, in interracial fellowship. Moreover, the very spirit of what He did and taught breathed a good will of no weak quality. If Jesus were alive to-day I believe He would by all means be an internationalist as JOHN H. AMERICAN RACE PREJUDICE CAUSE Business Brings Tenor to U. S. NEW YORK CITY, Aug. 6—Talking to a group of newspaper men who gathered at the dock to greet him when he landed here last week on the liner Paris, Roland Hayes, internationally known tenor and concert artist, confirmed the report that he has established his residence in France and will become a naturalized citizen of the French Republic. "I have determined to become a citizen of France and will make Paris my permanent place of abode" indignities and humiliations to which I have been subjected while touring the concert stag of my native land, have led me to make my decision to become a citizen of a country where ability, not color of skin, determines a man's recognition and position. My present visit to the United States is for business reasons and that alone, nothin' else would bring me back here." During his tours as a concert artist in the United States after having gained universal acclaim as a talented artist, and having been accorded all honors by the critics of this country, Hayes was many times denied accommodations at the leading hotels in the principal American cities, and was subjected to other these experiences have so imbittered him against the prejudice of his own country that he has resolved to abandon America for France. A similar decision is said to have been made by Paul Robeson, noted singer and actor, who is reported as having applied for citizenship in England, where his interpretation of Shakespeare's "Othella" has proved a sensation in the English theater. well as an interracialist in the modern sense of these terms. The strongest proof of this assertion is that there is no force making for a more permanent internationalism or a more active interracialism than that force generated by the teachings, the true followers, and the Spirit of Jesus. I believe in the efficacy of the content, method and spirit of what Jesus taught and did in regard to this difficult question of interracial relationships, and I have sought in whatever ways I could to give effect to that belief. In fact all that He means to me, compels me, and compels me as far as my human frailty will yield, to give effect to that belief in the spirit that was His. To believe in and undertake to practice an interracialism which faces reality is for most people difficult; for a Negro it is difficult on many counts. In the first place, it is difficult because to-day wherever white people, for instance, and black people live together in sufficiently large numbers the conditions and mental states under which they live are of such a nature as to make real cooperation difficult, if not impossible. I have in mind that type of true cooperation which partakes of mutual respect and desire for the full welfare of all persons concerned, and I (Continued On Page 4) Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (Bp REV. F B FITZWATFR D D., Member of Faculty, Mondays Bible Institute of Chicago ) (@ 1930, Western Newspaper Union ) Lesson for August 31 AMOS, A HERDSMAN CALLED OF GOD TO BE A PROPHET LESSON TEXT—The Book of Amos. GOLDEN TEXT—I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I, send me PRIMARY TOPIC—A Shepherd Who Became Great, JUNIOR TOPIC—A Shepherd Who Became Great. 1. The Call of Amos (1:1). He was a herdsman and gatherer of sycamore fruit (7:14). As a herdsman his income was not sufficient, therefore, he supplemented it by selling sycamore fruit. He was not a prophet by succession, neither was he trained in the prophetic schools. He sat not at the feet of any great teacher. God called him from a humble life to stand before the king. A prophet is one who forthtells more especially than foretells. His primary work was proclaiming God's message rather than predicting events to come. II. To Whom Was Amos Sent (1:1)? God sent him primarily to Israel, the northern nation. Though he was from Judah, his ministry was to be primarily to Israel. It was during the reign of Jeroboam II when the northern kingdom had reached its highest state of prosperity. This prosperity, as is usually the case, was accompanied with a condition of luxury, corruption, and gross wickedness. III. Amos' Message. a. Sold the righteous for silver (v. 6). The judge for a bride of silver declared the innocent to be guilty. b. Sold the poor for a pair of shoes. The word "shoes" doubtless means sandals, the price of which was comparatively small. c. Pants after the dust of the earth (v. 7). The word "pant" means to eagerly desire. So avaricious had these men become that they even grasped after the earth which the downtrodden poor cast upon their heads in mourning their misery. d. Turned aside the way of the meek. These grasping rich men turned aside those who did not stand up for their rights. e. Licentiousness (v. 7). It was not merely the case of falling into sensuous sin but indulgence with a definite purpose of insulting God and dishonoring his holy name. (2) Reckless security (G:1-3). They were living in a "fool's paradise" and closing their eyes to the approaching storm of judgment predicted by the prophet. They regarded their city as impregnable. The strength of a nation is its righteousness, not its wealth and armaments. (3) Luxury (vv. 40). Their luxury expressed itself in: a. Extravagant furniture (v.4). They had beds of ivory, which means perhaps wood inflaid with ivory. b. Laziness (v.4). Many stretched themselves on their couches, living lives of indolence. They bought what they desired regardless of its cost. d Adorned their feasts with music (v.5). They sang idle songs, even invented musical instruments for this purpose. e. They drank wine (v.6). They drank from bowls, indicating excessive drinking. Though their feasts were adorned with reinnement of music, they ended in drunkenness. (4) They failed to grieve for Joseph (v.6). Joseph here stands for Ephralm and Mannasseh. 2. The remedy proposed (5:49) The prophet called upon them to return to God. He said, "Seek ye me and ye shall live." The implication is that while as yet the divine judgments are staved an opportunity is offered for them to turn to God, "Seek" means applying for help. The time to repent is while judgment is stayed. In their turning to God they were to renounce: (1) Idolatry (vv. 5, 6). They were to turn away from the places of idolatry—Bethel, Gligal, and Beersheba. God's judgment was to strike these places. (2) Cease to pervert judgment (v. 7). Turning judgment to wormwood implies the bitterness of the perversion of judgment to the injured. (3) Cease to dethrone righteousness. Leaving off righteousness is thought to mean that unrighteousness was allowed to take its place. He now for the third time urged them to seek the Lord. Praise the Lord Good is the Lord—his loving kindness and his tender mercy are beyond all my thought! I will therefore praise him loudly, sweetly, with my whole heart, and with the buoyancy of ecstatic love—Joseph Parker. Trifles "In conduct do not make trifles of trifles. Record the smallest action as being either right or wrong, and make a conscience of little things."—Spurgeon. Why Are Industrial Missions Worth While? 1st Cor. 9:19-23 The spirit of Christ should control every enterprise of human endeavor. In the industries of the country the question of hours and wages should be decided in the light of Christianity. The rights of both capitalist and labor should be controlled in the light of the ethics of Christ. All men have rights that should be respected by other men. Character is not determined by money, but by thought, "As he thinketh." Paul was free from all men, yet the servant of all. To be able to adjust oneself to the environment in which he is, is a fine art. To deal with people in their world is the secret of christian success. The church should inter into the adjustment of our industrial problems. To labor with our hands does not make us inferior to those whom we serve; we may be better Independence News.

(Continued from page one) fhink the tecult of impartial obser. vation would reveal the fact that In those parts of the wotld where the contact between these two races {3 vital or where the Issues are sharp. ly drawn, the vast bulk of white peo- ple are today unwilling and unpre- pared for the interracial relatlon- ship for which one believes Jesus xtood and which His hfe and teach- Inga dictate aa the norm for His fol- lowers, I would not make such a statement without qualifying jt with the further statement that there are notable exceptions, both among In. dividuals as well as large groups or communities where there js a real concern and desire to apply the Christian ethle to this difficult realm of hfe, Nor am I unmindfut of the Yeal progrevs that Is being made in this direction, But I still think my Joint holds, that the majority of white people to-dsy who have contact with black people make real ¢0-Operation dlfficuit if not impossible. Secondly, interracial co-operatior or Christian interractalism is diff. cult for a Negro to-day because of the suspicion aroused among othe members of his race lest he pay toc great a price for co-operation, Such saspicion Is without its foundatior In view of whatwas sald about the unwillingness of most whites to face all realities involved in true co-opers ation, The temptation to the satls- faction of individual selfishness st the expense of the welfare of the larger community is an another reas: on for this suspicion, | ‘Thirdly, a difficulty in the way ef Christan interractalism grows out ef the question which comes, why co- operate at all? Why pay the price that prejudice demands? Why sub- ject cneself, one’s family, o1a's friends to all the experiences, em: barrassments, and calculated humil- jations, which such co-operation seens. to demand? Why not pay in Kind? Why not fight bach giving blow for blow and perchance get in the ex- tra blow that may turn the tide? Why draw so heavily upon one’s pate lence? Why even be t.letent in an intolerant world? These are ques+ tions which come not only from the: side of our natural selves, they come when the spirit tlde is low and at times when one may he weary from being much buffeted about. If Jesus Means anything to me those are the questions I need His help in answer Ing for, frankly, I want religions help which {s not too other wordly What, then, does Jesus mean to me in one of the most difficult realms of the life live? Much that Is dear to me is involved. The health and welfare of my family, the education, both religious and secular, of my chilien; even cecuing the amenities of daily existence falls within the scope of this question as well as any activity on my pert which brings me into contact with the white race If I cannot really get help from Him in this sore need, then, for ma Jesus means very little. The books that have been written, the ediftces that have been erected, even the deeds that have been done would be, for me, in part, a mockery, an empty aihasiord The question is of the essence o: urgency and importance. What does Jesus mean under these conditions? Let me give my answer fully, for He does mean something, I would like to call it. 4 SUBJECTION TO THE MEAN- ING OF THE CROSS, At a conference of an {nternational and interracial nature which I at- tended recently, I was asked by 3 (Continued in next issue) NATIONAL THREE IN ONE MEETING A SUCCESS (Continued From Page One) For the first time in the history of the Congress, the Congress tried out a Field day which will be a per- manent feature every year from now (Continued Next Week) NOUSE FOR RENT A modern 5 room cottage to re- hable tenant, 212 E.
