Bowling FINE SUBURBAN RESIDENCE SITES "The man called to become God's messenger has always to face the question sooner or later: 'Which will I be, a puppet or a prophet?' A puppet is a jumping jack whose movements are regulated by wires and strings. A prophet is a living man whose activities are subject to the leadings of God; his question therefore, is which will I be, a plaything in the hands of men, saying only those things he will please them and arouse no ice; or will I be a man, speaking the will of God to the question of my generation whether they like it or not." et is a living man whose activities are subject to the leading of God. The question therefore is which will I be, a plaything in the hands of men, saying only those things which will please him and arouse no fire; or will I be a man, speaking the will of God to the men of my generation whom we like it or not." With the foregoing straight from the shoulder "knock-out" Rev. Richard H. Bowling prefaced one of the most remarkable sermons ever heard in Norfolk, which he delivered from him, the First Baptist church, Bute Street, last Sunday night. The discourse was forceful from start to finish, and at times the minister rose to the heights of a superior type of pulpit document, and approuched the dramatic, when he came pulling a Billy Sunday stunt by getting down on his knees to illustrate how the scrub-woman earned her living by the sweat of her honest brow—and still kept her self-respect and lived the life of a conscientious Christian. GOD'S COMMISSION OF JEREMIAH As a n basis of his sermon Rev. Bowling selected the story of God's commission of the prophet Jeremiah, using as a text, Jer. 1:17: "Thou therere acise, and speak unto them all that I am thee: be not dismayed at them lest I dismay thee before them." His ideal minister is one that is thoroughly prepared morally, physiologically, practically. The prophetic ministry is not lightly. It calls for searches of soul and zealous preparation." The preacher must be girded up in character. "Can you imagine perfect music with a cornet with a hole in its side?" does it take a sideways sides it takes a good heart to keep a clear brain true to righteous ideals." He must rest as well as work, as "rest Lincoln Park And Oakwood Terrace Sub-Divisions Offer many Advantages To Home Seekers. Both Have City Improvements Finding an outlet for the ever expanding Afro-American population of Norfolk has been a problem for years which has always added to the difficulties of housing conditions here. It has had much to do with the health of the colored population of the city, as hundreds of families have been housed in suburban apartment houses and detached dwellings because there were no better houses to be had and no available home sites in suburban territory that were near enough to transportation facilities to invite home builders. In the early part of last year a group of municipal representatives by Messrs. Bartlett and Sullivan recognized the business and human side of providing desirable home sites in suburban territory for colored people and placed on the market Lincoln Park And Oakwood Terrace, adjoining sub-divisions on the Ocean View car park and the heart of the city. These gentlemen also recognized the demand for more modern homes and the good business NOTE—We are publishing in serial form a very interesting little story by Mrs. Eva Dove, of Truxtum.

Up one street and down another she wandered in this small town looking for a home for her self and an aged father. She been buying and had been real happy in their little home but Susan lost her job and father was no longer able to work. Then came the ten day notice to move. For seven days Susan Brown had looked for a house, also a job; each evening had the same results. And she was out of work, more, with a few hours spent of that. It was a bitter day in February; but Susan was a valent little soldier. Already she was out on the search for home. Her wandering steps brought her up her bed and delitated two story dwelling house sitting some what off from the better looking dwellings. After viewing it from all sides she found it to be very large, and badly NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY. APRIL 15, 1922 and care for the body bring more than physical stamina." HOW THE PROPHET WORKS "The commission charges that the prophet shall speak to anyone to whom God sends a message," declared the minister. "He is to point out the right and wrong in civil government, in church and denominational polity, in the exercise of the distribution of wealth, and so on. He is to speak God's will to rulers and citizens, to capitalists and workers, to politicians and agitators, to races and nations of the world." And he said this should not be done by "gum fire" for fire pulling and tale bearing, but he is to "speak out" with fearlessness. He should be revolutionary at times. God wants these things spoken as well as the soothing things, said Rev Bowling. "It was a sensa-mentation sent to adulterous David, but Nathan, was to tell it. It was a sensa-mental message when God declared social injustice in Israel wrong, but Amos was commanded to tell it." "And so," no declared with emphasis, "it was sensa-mentation sent to raise his voice against church politicians, against the financial crookedness of business promoters and corporation heads, against obscene living, against the petty polity and the whole race for a job or jopardies of forty thousand people for the satisfaction of a personal grudge." MUST BE FEARLESS The reaction to a prophetic ministry is often enough to strike fear to the prophet's heart, he said. But command is not to be swayed by the threats and dangers of prophets must face a still greater risk: "Lest I dismay the before them." The preacher condemned the minister who take things easy for fear of losing it, and the danger of such recurrent ministers are thought of as business men or politicians or laborers, but not as ministers of the gospel," he said. "The preacher is to be fearless because he is to have seen that this twin-stamp of approval upon the church is the position of men but the backing of God." Rev. Bowling's sound was heard by an audience that filled every seat in the spacious auditorium of the church and of the conclusion of the services many went forward to shake his hand. of supplying that need and departed from the usual idea of cutting building lots up in 25x75 and 100 feet sizes, and made their lots 50x150 and 300 feet, providing enough space for a modern dwelling, a spacious garden and a large yard. Another feature about these subdivisions is that contracts have been let for supplying them with water and electric lights, so that the homes built there may have city conveniences in addition to many advantages afforded by the city under any circumstances. Lincoln Park and Oakwood Terrace adjoin the car line—that is, the car line runs directly through them. In addition they may be reached by several improved roads and boulevards. In addition the city has dry-drained, streets have been built in accordance with the best city regulations, and concrete sidewalks are being laid. A large number of lots have been sold in both subdivisions and several modern homes have been built. The price of these lots is within the reach of everyone, and it is well worth the while of any prospective home buyer to get in touch with Messrs. Bartlett and Sullivan and see the property. They have an inter-announcement on page three of this issue of the Journal and Guide. in need of repair. “This is my only chance but Gee, its awful looking; still it’s better than being set out in the street. But whatever will I do with all this room?” With these words she tried the door to found it to be locked. It did not take Susan living to find the owner of the house. Neither it take her long to get a drayman. The laborers at the iron foundry just across the way were surprised to see some one in the old boarding house. On the ninth day Susan had just put a thing in place and was sitting for a moment at her father’s side, when she came crying, “Oh dad, if I only had a job.” “Never mind girlie my check will be here soon now.” but before he got further one one rang the door bell. Susan dried her tears. It was a man from the foundry, “beg pardon, Miss,” he said, “but I can get you a amch and some coffee.” “I will get you here days before the Board mistress moved. And I’d like to get my lunch here every day if I could it saves me going up the street.” And an idea suddenly flashed through Susan's mind. NEW WAY TO SOLUTION OF BIG PROBLEM Winston-Salem Buys Twenty-five Acre Tract Which Will Have School, Park And Homes For Colored. TO BE MODERN IN EVERY RESPECT (Special to Journal and Guide) Winston-Salem, N. C. — For a number of years this city has been confronted with the problem of supplying the demands of white and colored for additional residential area without running in conflict with the traitional race problem, growing out of the city's racial diversity, when colored population encroaches upon white, or when white encroaches upon colored, as is very often done. Winston-Salem has a very thrifty class of colored citizens progress in home buying during the recession, and has been remarkable. More and more groves are seeking homes with modern improvements and sanitary environments, and this class has grown so large in this city that it has become a problem with land owners to supply homes for the whole question. The city offers aracthe of twenty-five acres of Fremont street, on which a modern school will be built, a park established and the remainder of the acres divided into lots, which will be sold to colored citizens who wish to build home. The city will be sold with restrictions which will require the building of a modern home on the art of every purchaser.

SPEAKS ON NEED FOR RACE UNITY Dr. Eason, American Leader of Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League Makes Plen IS ORATOR OF SPLENDID ABILITY Addressing a mass meeting at Mr. Lebanon Baptist church on the night of April 6th, Dr. J. W. H. Eason, the American Leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, for American history he called the audience in the power hour he called in the laboratory. Dr. Eason spoke on, "A World-Wide Movement for the Unification of the Negro's Interest." It was his first appearance in a series of lectures to be delivered at that church, April 6, 7, and 8th. With this lecture Dr. Eason subject his hearings with racial inspiration as he skillfully analyzed his subject in five parts: "Moral Improvement," "Physical Improvement," "Spiritual Improvement," "Intellectual Improvement," and "Communal Improvement." Launching the exposition of the topic, "Moral Improvement," Dr. Eason, with burning enthusiasm declared that moral improvement must come through the strength of the Negro's moral conscience. Our youth, he declared, must be constantly imitant of the spirit of the purity of our womanhood and the sanctity of the home. SAYS BRAINS WILL RULE Of intellectual improvement, the speaker, emphasized the power of broad intellectuality, admonishing his heavens that wherever intelligence is found he be found the ruling power. Mental freedom, he urged, means mental freedom and mental freedom places in them the habit of accomplishing all things finitely possible. Coming to Spiritual Improvement, Dr. Eason seriously admonished his audience to disregard non-essentials, such as denominational beliefs and agree on the great essential—One God, one Father, one Destiny. It was physical improvement, however, that drew from the orator the greatest barrage of fervor. Physical fitness, he averred is an obsession with him, and a quality to be striven for by all members of the race. "Survival of the fitest," is the text, cried Dr. Eason, "is the best he can be to physically endure." He scorned those who disregard the care of their bodies and go to untimely graves. "Commercial Improvement," said Dr. Eason, "means the buzzing of the wheels of industry, driven on by the brawn of black men, spinning into firing objects the commodities of commerce." SCORED THE TRAITORS In the course of his talk Dr. Eason paused to remark that the absence of more representative colored men of the city from the meeting affected not in the least his zeal for the cause he expounded. He scored the traitors inside of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, declaring that none are wanted in those whose hearts and souls are in the cause of African redemption. Dr. Eason sprinkled his discourse with humorous anecdotes which drew laughter from his audience. TELLS OF TRAVELS He told of his extensive travels since being ejected, in August of last year at the convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League at Yokohama. The position he now holds. These travel experiences from the provinces of Canada to Los Angeles, California, and throughout the East and West, his appearance at Norfolk being a stop over on an itinerary through the lower Southern states including Mississippi and Louisiana, he would greet his hearers, he would carry greetings from Norfolk just as to Norfolk he brought greetings from the North and West. Dr. Eason took occasion to inform the audience that when in Norfolk he would greet his birthplace, Gates County, N. C. He stated that after returning from his Southern trip he will stop over in Norfolk for a ten days stay the third week in June, prior to taking quarters at the Whitewater Hotel in Norfolk, the opening of the embassy of the Provisional Nation of Africa.

Leading speaker from Africa, Canada, India and America, including Congressmen and Senators will address the Congress. All persons planning to attend should write: REV. J. H. RANDOLPH, Chairman, Executive Committee, 1886 T Street, N. W. Washington, D. C. The subject of Miss King's paper is, "How I can make the Highways more Safe." The following very excellent essay was written by Miss Esther King, an eight grade pupil of the S. C. Armstrong School. The essay was awarded a prize in a recent contest among the school children of the city. Miss King shows a very remarkable grasp of the subject and is fortunate to express her thought. She is fifteen years old and lives at 420 Queen street. The above named subject has a very broad meaning. Every one should feel it a duty to have a direct or indirect interest in the safety and progress of the highways. At the present time people do not consider as they should; for if they did, we would not have this subject to write. The problems of building and maintaining good roads is one of thought and expense. Since it means so much to the prosperity and progress of the community; people are often willing to make the financial sacrifices which necessary to make all highways safe for the travel and transportation. I can not do much myself, but I can do my part. The individuals who live in farming communities can themselves do many things to improve the appearance of the roads. They are cleaning land for cultivation to give trees standing at the road edges. The government should therefore see that roads and streets are kept in a good condition. If any one should meet with an accident he could bring suit, and perhaps win his case, which would mean a loss to the people. He can improve the appearance of the streets, but they are careless and indifferent to their own interest. The large number of automobiles and other vehicles now in use is sufficient reason for laws and regulations for the safety of all people, who move through the city and over the street with those who have the authority and see that these reckless drivers and speeders are made to pay a heavy fine or imprisoned. I can help by reporting these people whom I see to the police. I can be of service in doing this, as I go from place to place, the bride and groom, the pair, the streets which are not in good repair, the streets which are not clean, and report the dangers, and thus save the city and county from heavy expense. There is plenty of services for us all to benefit from advantage and opportunity of attending learning many things about danger from not observing crossing; lessons about signals; helpful talks on obeying the rules and regulations of communities, I can talk to the mothers whom I see and try to impress them by teaching them, they should daily give their children, before sending them to school, to store, on business or to seek pleasure. One way I can help is to care for these in and out of the stretch. In this way I can help the mothers; serve my community and thus help to make the highways more safe, causing others to become loyal citizens. I can not draw lessons taught in school. I always been impressed by looking at pictures. They seem to bring a message which cannot be gained by reading. I think we use that skill to ask for get drawings that will illuminate what we are, trying to write about. CAPEVILLE, VA. Ebenzor A. M. E.

Norfolk Journal and Guide Every one familiar with local traffic conditions knows that city council has a difficult task in routing street car and jitney service in such manner as to satisfy the street car company, the jitney owners and the citizens and merchants. All have their rights, which council in its actions so far has tried to respect, as far as possible or consistent with justice and the public welfare. The question of jitneys on Church street has not yet been settled. We hope that the settlement of this phase of the matter will be made with justice to the jitney men, who have invested their money in equipment, and have been serving Church street ever since the street car service stopped functioning during the war. It appears now, however, that council plans to shift the jitneys to a street paralleling Church street. As the present routing of street cars stands Church street is at a decided disadvantage. The merchants and car patrons are asking that the Church and Eighticenth Streets and the West Redgate cars be restored and the request is an entirely reasonable one, as under the present arrangement the Church street merchants are laboring under a condition which amounts almost to isolation and discrimination in favor of merchants in the down-town section, while a very large number of people whose work takes them to the western part of the city every day are put to the worst sort of inconvenience to reach their places of employment. In the final settlement justice demands that council give heed to the interests of Church street as one of the principal business thoroughfares of the city, and not leave it with a car and jitney service that practically will be in restraint of trade. CHURCH SPENDS MILLIONS FOR SOUTHERN EDUCATION The New York Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church held its annual conference at Poughkeepsie, recently and devoted the usual attention to the educational work of the Church among its Afro-American membership. Dr. I. Garland Penn, Corresponding secretary of the Board of Education of he Church, and one of the able men of the race, in his address, said: that in the last two years the denomination has expended $1,500,000 upon new buildings and equipment for the education of Negroes in the South. He asserted the total investment of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Negro education in the last fifty years was $10,000,000. The result has been 15,000 teachers for Negro schools, 3,000 physicians, pharmacists, dentists and nurses; 600 ministers and thousands of artisans and educated men and woman fitted for gainful and useful occupations. The Methodist Episcopal Church is only one of the many white denominational churches that has spent millions of dollars for education of the Negro people during the past fifty years, and that is spending millions of dollars annually now for the same purpose. The race has been greatly lifted up and strengthened by these splendid benefactions, upon which too much emphasis cannot be placed. From those who have received much, much is naturally expected. The moneys contributed for Negro education since the Civil War by the Churches and by private philanthropists have been among the largest and most helpful in the history of mankind. Where should we be in the matter of our education if we had not been so helped by our white Christian fellow-citizens? It is discouraging to imagine. SPLENDID GROWTH OF STANDARD LIFE We have just received a copy of the annual statement of the Standard Life Insurance Company for the year 1921. The growth of the company as shown by its statement is very satisfactory, and is an indication that in the life insurance field, our race is making business progress that is highly encouraging, and that is leading to the economic solution of some of our most difficult problems. In our local territory we have had occasion recently to observe that practically all of the money that has been available for home building purposes came from the great national life insurance companies. We have also had the bitter experience of being told that none of this money was available for the financing of homes or business properties in certain localities, which of course always happened to be the localities in which Afro-Americans lived. So it will be seen that the Standard Life and other life insurance companies owned and financed by members of the race are gradually coming to fill a need in our economic life that is vital to our existence. These companies are now doing on a scale, commensurate with their growth, what they will continue to do from year to year on a larger scale as their growth justifies. From the support that our life insurance companies are receiving there is every reason to believe that their prospects for larger service and usefulness are exceedingly encouraging. A few weeks ago we had occasion to announce that the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company had loaned on business and residential property in Norfolk county alone the amount of $125,000.00. A few years ago this kind of economic assistance coming from within the race, from the utilization and development of the resources of the race seemed improbable. The statement of Standard Life shows that the mortgage loans of the company total $262,071.81, a splendid showing indeed for a company organized in 1918. The total assets of the company exceed a million and a half dollars, and its income during 1921 exceeded a million dollars. The company closed the year with insurance in force to the amount of $20,596,871.00. Splendid we should say. And it is worth while to note that this is distinctly a Southern company, organized and operated in Southern states, a splendid indication that the company is using water with rapid strides, and making a cooperative water place that eventually will have force and influence on the economic future of the South. THE BOOKER WASHINGTON MONUMENT the unveiling of a monument of the late Dr. Washington, at Tuskegee, Alabama, Wednesday, was one of the marked days in the American people. Naturally enough it was once a large number of people, many of them in the life of the Republic, and who helpeds of Dr. Washington during the toil and anxiety in building deep and sturdy of the Tuskegee Institute work. The American contributors to the payment is said to be 100,000. That alone spurs the work Dr. Washington accomplished, giving impresson he made upon the minds of his times, especially the people he loved with such singleness of purpose. It is entirely appropriate that the monument should be set up on the grounds on which he built and bequeathed to the race for. It should be planted right where it is in the Black Belt of the South, where the great lives and strives and hopes for better food and citizenship. Dr. Washington did in a thorough way which no other man of our own for our own, and that is a great thing and sure to bear good fruit, of interest to the race. If he could have expressed such a monument should be set up, have indicated the place selected by the directed it to his memory. Dr. Washington made a more positive in the thought and work of his times than of the race except Frederick Douglass. He are not in the same class. The one was of spiritual life, for manhood and opportunity Washington was the champion of material and butter side of it, which the spiritual life from the greed and selfishness that spawned were needed in time and place to abed, and we cannot build too many monuments their labors and successes, for their priestess to the race. WE AMMISSION SERVICE TO NEW YORK RESTORED We believe that the travelling public and interests of Norfolk suffered much incessantly by the discontinuance of the passenger Old Dominion Steamship Company between New York. It affected passenger and alike. In that way it was distinct interests of Norfolk, which we should alike in all reasonable ways. It is of general interest, therefore, that then Norfolk and New York has been rebuilt Dominion Transportation Company. It inaugurated April 12. We all hope the new profitable to its promoters and to the needs of Norfolk. And we also express the commendations which shall be made for All travellers may be as up-to-date as those private passengers. Each group of passenger fare, and, as separation of them is made only just that this one should be given as accommodation and treatment as The unveiling of a monument of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, at tuskegee, Alabam, Wednesday of last week, was one of the marked days in the life of the Afro-American people. Naturally enough it drew to tuskegee a large number of people, many of them distinguished in the life of the Republic, and who were admirers and helpers of Dr. Washington during his long years of toil and anxiety in building deep and strong the foundations of the tuskegee Institute work. The number of Afro-American contributors to the payment of the monument is said to be 100,000. That alone speaks volumes for the work Dr. Washington accomplished, and for the lasting impression he made upon the minds of the people of his times, especially the people he loved so well and served with such singleness of purpose. It is entirely appropriate that the monument to Dr. Washington should be set up on the grounds of the institution he built and bequeathed to the race for a possession. It should be planted right where it is in the hearts of the Black Belt of the South, where the great mass of the race lives and strives and hopes for better things in manhood and citizenship. Dr. Washington did a needed work in a thorough way which no other man of the race could have done, because the conditions with which he had to deal were peculiar and because he was fitted especially to meet and conquer those conditions. We are beginning to build monuments and write history of our own for our own, and that is a great, a very great, thing and sure to bear good fruit, of inestimable value to the race. If he could have expressed a wish as to where such a monument should be set up he would, doubtless, have indicated the place selected by those who have erected it to his memory. Dr Washington made a more positive impression upon the thought and work of his times than any other man of the race except Frederick Douglass. The two men are not in the same class. The one was the champion of spiritual life, for manhood and opportunity, while Dr. Washington was the champion of material life, the bread and butter side of it, which the spiritual life only can save from the greed and selfishness that spell death. The two were needed in the time and place they lived and labored, and we cannot build too many monuments to perpetuate their labors and successes, for these are assets priceless to the race. STEAMSHIP SERVICE TO NEW YORK RESTORED We believe that the travelling public and the business interests of Norfolk suffered much inconvenience and loss by the discontinuance of the passenger service of the Old Dominion Steamship Company between Norfolk and New York. It affected passenger and freight shippers alike. In that way it was distinct injury to the interests of Norfolk, which we should all seek to promote in all reasonable ways. It is of general interest, therefore, that the service between Norfolk and New York has been restored by the Old Dominion Transportation Company. The service was inaugurated April 12. We all hope the new service may prove profitable to its promoters and to the business interests of Norfolk. And we also express the hope that the accommodations which shall be made for Afro-American travellers may be as up-to-date as those provided for the white passengers. Each group of passengers pays the same fare, and, as separation of them is made mandatory, it is only just that the one should be given as much consideration in accommodation and treatment as the other JOHN H.

Murphy, for twenty-five years publisher of the Baltimore Afro-American, the newspaper business and the race both lose a valuable asset. Mr. Murphy was one of the most successful publishers and business men of the race, and the newspaper property that he leaves is a monument to his business genius. Mr. Murphy was an extraordinary man. He died at the age of 81 years, and was active up to within a few days of his death. He was a believer in hard work, but also in right living, and was living proof that hard work in itself does not kill. At fifty he was broke. At 81 he died a comparatively wealthy man. He was a consistent Christian, devoted to his church and above all to his family, and he was a thoroughly loyal race man. The race will miss him. His native city will miss him. The Afro-American will be continued in its progressive course by his several sons who have for years been associated with their father in the conduct of the business.

However the hen is no less responsible for boost than the repainted "Say it with f ement is responsible for the Easter lil Out in Kansas the term "Oil" has created quite a turmoil. The New York editor who wrote that, "Silence on any subject is out of date," ought to spend an evening sitting in front of the guy who reads all the motion picture captions out loud.

A GOOD WIFE Dear Mrs. Dixon: Please tell me what you think it takes to make an ideal wife. It seems to me that some men require so much mors than others. We're all different, and yet there are some things that apply to all a alike. A good wife is kind, considerate, honest and patient. The last named is as important as any. An ideal wife is a helpful wife. If you are impatient try to cure yourself as soon as possible. Dear Mrs. Dixon: I read your department each week and am sending you this question which I hope to see answered next week. What is the truth about divorce? Is it right or wrong? Divorce proceedings were first mentioned in the Old Testament scriptures. The people asked Moses to take the repose or this or that, Moses was not concerning this matter and God told Moses; that it was wrong for a man to put away his wife for any cause, but, for one crime she is found guilty and will be seen in divorcement. Thus, we see once married always married till death. WHAT MUST I DO Will you please tell me what you think the best plan to stretch a limited income, so that it will cover the family needs. We are four, two adults and two children. —JULIA. By all means make out a budget. On the one side place your total income. On the other side place your amounts you can afford for each item. That is house, food, clothing, amusements, church. When you have made out your budget, stick to it. One PERSONAL RIGHTS Boys do you ever stop to think how your play might work a hardship to some one. This is the ball season and every vacant lot is filled with boys throwing ball. This is as it should be, only the fences are not yours to relieve of a board at will. To get the to do we must earn entry to do to other kids and them do to us. Respect the rights of others always, and you will find people anxious to help you find a place to play. Imitate versus Emulate. Select a character worth while and mold your actions by that character. I do not intend to advise you to lose all individuality, it is the real points you need to imitate a life modeled after an ideal character usually turns out. After selecting your ideal keep it before you attempt to do. There is nothing new combinations. See that you are a new mixing of the old ideals. Keep busy, either at work or play. Have your mind and hands employed. Busy children are usually happy and good. The play hour is the child's hour for development. It is his or her time to show what is in them. EDENTON, N. C. (Mrs. J. C. Edney) must live within his means and this is the best way to do it. YES, KEEP THEM WITH YOU Dear Mrs. Dixon: What do you think about keeping children in while little. I try to train mine the best I know how and I am criticized. I do not think they are better than others. —LILLIAN. Children should have a certain amount of freedom and yet I am queer enough to sanction keeping them in the greater part of the time. Men can keep their blood stock on a public lot to graze, fancy poultry raisers, usually, have good fences. Your child is even more important than these. You cannot train childlike public highways. My motto is, "Give me my way till it reaches the age of twelve years and I will not fear the future." Your baby is the dearest gift of heaven. Mold and shape it while you may. The time will come when it too will be safe and your advice will dent thinking and your advice will not be needed. TIMELY HINTS To save boys stockings from wearing out at the knee. When new sew a piece cut from an old stocking under the top, this will not show and the stockings will last longer. Buy children's stockings now, for next winter, if you can spare the change. Housekeeping is your business, study it, find out the price you should pay and refuse to pay more. To keep little girls happy at home make them a part of your housekeeping, let them sew and cook. They think it is the most fun Yes, I know how tiring it all is but you will not regret the time spent in this way. You will reap abundantly if you sow abundantly. The truthful child plays fair. Work as hard at your play as you do at lessons. Keep busy and crowd out ugiliness. "Idle hands are the devil's workshop." Once upon a time there was a very bad man. He was so bad that an evil spirit entered his heart and never left. He would steal people's cattle and grain, set fire to their houses and even beat little children in the streets. People were afraid of him wherever he went. He was very lonely, no one wanted to talk with him or come to visit him so he decided to change. He drove out the devil that was in him and swept his heart house to the little with his innocence of the little mean things, used to keep handy were cast aside. Then he sat down to wait and rest. When the Devil saw that Demon did not want him he went around trying to find another house; knocking here and there but no one would let him in. Then he found the house empty so he went out and gathered to gether seven other devils; then he went back into Demon and made him worse than ever. All because his house was empty. The next time he cleans up a good heart he will be with good work so that the evil cannot get in. ROPER, N. C. (Mrs. Katie L. Anthony) (Mrs. Katie L. Anthony) Mt.

PROCRASTINATION is the greatest crime committed against the human race. DOUBT and Fear are its twin sisters. Slowly but surely we are forming the habit of Procrastinating, of Doubting, of Fearing. Lord Bacon said, "F habit is the great mixim of mankind that rules him in his actions." I INTEND to take "Not Life Insurance," you say that, and you really mean to do so. Food intention are good, but they are only thoughts. They have never provided a really well written nor provided bread, food, clothes or an education for orphan children. Thoughts put into action always result in something. To put them off is to form the habit of procrastination which will eventually gain the mastery and rule you like the Czar that it is. HENRY E. BRYANT, Contractor and Builder, 182 Chestnut Street, was a man who, after consideration, put his thoughts into action. He valued his income to his fellowman and to his family. He wanted his income to continue at least a few years, in the event he should meet an untimely death. A man of exemplary habits and in perfect health, death was the farthest thought from his mind. It was in this frame of mind that—— A STANDARD LIFE AGENT FOUND HIM and suggested Life Insurance as a sure means of continuing his income. The suggestion was the father of the thought. Did Bryant Procrastinate? No, he did. The Medical Bramination was made immediately followed by the Medical Street ride, announced the examiner, Five Thousand Dollar Policy, issued, and delivered on November 7th. ONLY TEN DAYS tween the issuance of that policy and November the 17th. Walking out of his beautiful home on Chestnut Street, to the West Hunter Street car line—a street car, a careless motorman and Henry E. Bryant—in the twinkling of an eye—met an accidental death. LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY PAYS PROMPTLY. An Official of Standard Life looked after the funeral arrangements. The expenses were paid out of the Five Thousand Dollar Standard Life Insurance under the same high standard he established during his life time. YOU CAN STAND before the Bar of Your Own CONSCIENCE—the highest Tribunal on earth—and plead Not Gullity of the crime of procrastination, if you will do what Henry E. Bryant did. Do it by calling a Standard Life Agent not tomorrow, but TODAY. Eprew Easter program will be rendered Sunday at 3 p. m., under the auspices of Misses Reid and Graves. Rev. C. W. B. Creech the Evangelist conduct a series of metings at 9t. Eprew Church beginning April 9th. PETERSBURG All the local houses of worship registered the greatest attendance since spring.

Washington were delivered by Josephus Daniels, former Secretary of the Navy; Dr. Wallace Butterick, president of the General Education Board; Dr. George C. Hall of Chicago; Emmett J. Scott of Washington; Dr. R. R. Moton, head of William G. Wilkinson of New York, chairman of the Board of Trustees. A letter from President Harding, praising Dr. Washington was read. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, who before going to Washington, was for twenty-two years secretary to Dr. Washington, presided over the commission to the Trustees of Tuskegee Institute He said in part: "Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Upon the plain which lies at the foot of the pass of Thermoplyce, made famous in song and story, there was erected a monument to the memory of Leonidas and his Spartan band, thereupon by Simonides, then by Simonides, which freely translated reads: "Go, Stranger, and to the Lacedemonians tell. That fighting here, at their beast we fell." "Today, as we gather to unveil this monument erected as a memorial to Booker T. Washington, we recall the intrepid, glirified spirit, the tender heart, the dauntless courage, the intellectual earnestness of the passionate soul who just as surely gave his life for his race and nation as did Leonidas and his Spartans. Well might we inscribe upon this monument a paraphrase of that ancient Grecian couple: Go, Stranger, to the sea, fight the fighting here, at their behest, he fell. * * * * "It is the gift of nearly 100, 000 colored people of the United States—graduates and former students of his beloved school, of local Negro business leagues, fraternal and secret societies, insurance and industrial concerns, college colleges, sports clubs, and individuals in all walks of life, including mainly, "The Man Farthest Down." "This institution of learning located here in the heart of the Black Belt of the South is in itself one of the most important institutions the love great man had for a great people. Here stands a creation, humanized, vitalized and dedicated to service. Through the mists of ignorance, superstition and oppression, he was able to build a nation as he dreamed, he built. He had faith in his people, faith in his ideals, and these, linked with faith in his God, gave him the vision and determination of the builder, who set love upon all human limitations. * * * * * "I must not fail, on this accession to speak of the large and important service rendered by Mr. Washington to both races in seeking to blot out sectional animosities, and interpreting one race to the other. He was the foremost leader of his race to overcome racial misunderstandings, racial injustices, racial prejudices. Nothing could embitter him. It was his proud heart that no man could drag him down so low as to make him hate that man. * * * I thank God that as his sense of things faded he had the deserved privilege of knowing that his lords had not been there, that he had no offends, that there are in our country to a better understanding between the races, a growing feeling of respect for the rights of each other, a finer spirit of mutual helpfulness. "Through you, Mr. Chairman, I present this memorial to the Trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. On behalf of the donors who loved him so well, and who cherish with unbated loyalty and joy the work he did, I hope that it shall stand here for all time, adding to the splendor of these grounds and as an inspiration to the youth of his race. Its poetic significance is but a symbol of the task he so well began. The workman may fall, but the work goes on. We honor our dead most worthily by completing their great tasks." May the increasing years bring fullest realization of his fondest hopes, that the well of ignorance he lifted from the eyes of all men that they may look out upon a world of peace and harmony." FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH BOLLING BROOK (J, P, Henley) Lst Sunday was another great day at the First Baptist church. All services were well attended. The pastor gave a regular fireside talk to the congregation in his sermon at the church. In his sermon, the brother of our pastor, also known as the "Song Bird of the Williams family," favored us with a goodly number of his spirit. I songs, at this service. Many visitors from Norfolk were present and partook of the service. We were joined by William Williams fired many rapid shots at sin in his sermon at the evening hour. The Sabbath school and B. Y. P. U. are continuing their lively work. On last Thursday evening another powerful sermon, subject, "The Dry Oceans," was served by Key, E. P. U. to splice on another theme. All are invited to attend our Easter exercises on next Sunday evening. SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH Special music will be rendered at Shiloh Baptist Church, next Sunday by the choir and the famous Mule chorus. In the absence of the pastor, Rev. J. H. Ashby, who with Mrs. Ashby is spending a week in Asbury Park, N. J. Rev. R. L. Heck of Suffolk will preach the Easter sermon sunday morning, and he will also spend the night. Rev. R. L. Heck is among the most promising of the young ministers of the State, and Shiloh extends a cordial welcome to all who wish to hear him, on this occasion. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH "The Sin of Failure to respond to Duty," text Judges 5:15, was the themes of a masterly sermon by the pastor in the morning service last Sunday. The Sunday, school, and B. Y. P. U were largely attended. Following the morning service the fune- The Advent of Spring A SERMON (By Rev. J. H Ashby) "For lo; the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear upon the earth; the time of the singing of the birds is come, and the voice of the turtle dove is heard in our land. S. S. 21:21. This chapter, in just beautiful fashion, always the mutual love between Christ and His church: He styles himself as the rose of Sharon, and the church as a lily among thorns when compared with the daughters of Jerusalem. The church here acknowledges his compliment, and expresses her desire at being in him. She realizes his protection, by the support of his left hand under her head, and his right hand embracing her, and in this position she hears his voice saying unto her, "Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away." For lo, the winter is past the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear upon the earth: The time of the singing of the birds comes, the voice of the turtle dove is heard in our land." The text suggests a new and brighter days, a more favorable season, a time of spring in the life of the church. In order that the signee may let us think for a moment of the winter through which we have just passed. Think of the snow, the wind, the hail and the rain, and then think of the suffering that accompanied it, the sickness that now that awful experience passed. The rain is over and gone, the spring time is here, with the joy of singing; birds, and the gladness of fragrant flowers. When the flood and passed away God promised North and South time and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, night and day should not cease. From the beginning the calendar year has been divided into four seasons and that which follows is the spring time of the second the spring time of the seasons and it is significant (a) because it is a time of release. In ancient times it was celebrated with a great festival which they called Easter. This festival was not held on a calendar following; the first full moon occurring after the 21st of March. The festival represented release from the grip of winter, with its chilly winds, frosty air, drifting snows, and hardships attending them. To be dead comes to life at the spring time. It is the time of resurrection. (2) It is the time of gladness; Our text says, the flowers appear upon the earth, nature puts on her new dress, she sprinkles her bosom with perfumes of her own production and beckets her hand with expressions of bursting, and blooming everywhere. (3) Spring time is a time of joy. Birds are singing, turtle doves are mown, the streams released from the grip of ice are guarding. All birds are pooping, and the birds are shouting for joy. If spring time in nature means all this, it means none the less in individual life. After the winter hardships and affliction we have our spring time. It comes with youth and various opportunities. It is a time of growth and development principles of truth. Righteousness, and all else that go to make the world better. It is the time to think of service. The winter is passed, every being grows up brightens up with new friends. This is our opportunity. Yes nature has its spring time, so does the individual; out our text speaks with particular reference to the spring time of the church. It follows a season of indulgence, the church does criticism. The church had been scorned by the daughters of Jerusalem, so that with sadness of soul and sorrows of heart she bowed her head in tears and plead for help in drowning and will the king thence. Then it is allowed to rise to King Eternal spoke and said, "Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away." The death of Jesus Christ was the spring time of the world. It marked the end of the world. All the past looked forward to Calvary, all the future looked back to it. Two eternities break at the cross and stands unmoved above the swollen foot. Spring Time The death of Christ, marks following the soil; Burial, the planting; Three days in the earth: The germination. The resurrection: coming to hibernation. The voice that spoke the text speaks to the church today saying "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. The winter is passed, the rain is gone, the birds are singing. Turtle diving is meaning rise up and come away. It is the voice of the Master, let us hear. ral of Bro. Albert Lassiter, one of the young, popular and faithful workers on Sunday school and church was held. Floral designs were many and beautiful. A large audience was in attendance in the evening service. Rev. Bowling delivered the sequel to one of his works, which caused a stir in internal church circles. Rev. Bowling spoke from the subject, "A Puppet or Prophet, which?" text Jer. 1:17. The pastor's speech was a vindication of the sacred office of the priest and the congregation was aroused and advised as to their duties in regards to same. There was one addition to the church dinner service. Strangers and visitors a cordial welcome awaits you here. ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH The Palm Sunday was brimful of interest.

Jesus Manifesta Himself to the Disciples, Thomas Being Absent (vv. 1925). He appeared to several of His disciples at several different times during that day. This is the first appearance to the disciples as a body. The rumors of His several appearances on that day, caused the disciples to assemble to talk over the matter. For fear of the Jews, they met in a private room and barred the door. While they were discussing the strange happenings of the Jews, they were before them with the greeting of good cheer, "Peace be unto you." He did not come with caution for their failure and desertion. At His birth the angels announced "Peace." Just before he took His departure, He said: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you" (John 14:27); "Let not your heart be troubled" (John 14:1); and now the first word after His resurrection is "Peace." Having calmed their fears, He gave them an unmistakable evidence of His resurrection. Then they met in their hands and He side. Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord." Their doubts needed to be scattered, and His peace needed to be upon them. Consider: 1. The disciples' commission (v. 21). "As my Father hath sent Me, even so send I you." This commission was not simply to a class, as the eleven, but is to all Christians. In Luke 24:33 we find that there were others there in that meeting besides the eleven when they commissioned them, showing that the commission is not confined to a class or order, but is wide as the Christina body itself. All Christians, therefore, are envoys and representatives of Christ. The exercise of this great function is not merely optimum with the individual, but is obligatory upon a person with His own commission from Father—"As my Father hath sent me, so send I you." 2. The disciples' equipment (v. 22). "He breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost." The mission of the disciple is a very great one, but every one who goes forth in its execution He clothes with the power of a new life by the bestowment of His spirit. No one who has been called to the Lord's representatives have His life in them. The burdenness of our efforts is due to our failure to take by faith our equipment. 3. The disciples' authority (v. 28). "Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained." This authority was not by virtue of office, but by virtue of having the Holy Ghost. This would give the spiritual discernment to know who had or who had not been frequently, to pronounce pardon or not. 11. Jesus Manifests Himself to the Disciples, Thomas Being Present (vv. 20-26). Thomas was absent at the first appearance of Jesus. His absence deprived him of a vision of the Lord. Absence from the assembly of believers always occults loss. The other disciples go to Thomas at once with the glad news of the resurrection, but he will not believe. His stubborn disbelief is such that he doggedly declares that unless he sees the prints of the nails, etc, he will not believe. It is right to demand evidence to precede the public mocking label: Note: 1. The Lord's kindness to those who have difficulties. Thomas deserved rebuke, but the Lord kindly supplied the evidence which he demanded. 2. The reevaluation of the Lord transforms a doubter into a possessor. III. The Conclusion of the Gospel (vv. 30-31). In these verses John's arguments are summarized, and an explanation is given as to why he wrote this Gospel. Many other things could have been written, but these that he wrote be judged adequate to prove his point: To prove that (1) Jesus of Nazareth the expected Messiah? (2) He was the very Son of God; (3) that those who believe on Him as God's only Son—the Messiah—would receive eternal life. Eternal life is in Him and only as He is appropriated by faith can men be saved. What Christ Saw in World. Christ saw much in this world to weep over, and much to pray over; but He saw nothing in it to look upon with contempt. Happiness in Our Heart. The happiness that we vainly seek the world over is all the time within us, nested close to our own hearts—Bruce Calvert. Our Comforts. Most of our comforts grow up between our crosses—Young. I. I. was represented by Miss Eva T. Hilton, Mr. W. C. Cogdall and Mr. J. A. Poulson who debated the negative side of the proposition. The team of A. & T. was composed of Meura, A. Types, H. L. Morgan and J. E. Brown who uphold the affirmative. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH BERKLEY Our Sunday services were very largely attended all day. Beginning with the Sunday school with an average above normal for collection and attendance. To hear our orchestra is a real treat. Being Palm Sunday the sermon nd music were in letter and spirit up-to-date. The Holy Spirit demonstrated Himself at our Communion, and the manner in which our Communion is administered meets the approval of all. The "Lodge of Sorrow" together with the Thanksgiving sermon was held at our church. The programs were splendid, and the ceremonies were very impressive. The pastor, Rev. J. C. Diamond, is spending much interest and energy toward the improvement of the night service. The Spirituals by the choir have contributed to the success of the night service.

(Terms End: January 1st (Quarter)) Phone: 20891 SEASON OPENED LAST SATURDAY First Baseball Game Hard and Fast From Start To Finish. Spectators Keep Guessing as To Outcome. Richmond, Va.—Union opened its baseball season on last Saturday, April 8, 1922 by defeating Lincoln 3-2 at Richmond. The game was hard from start to finish, and at times it was quite difficult to predict the outcome although Union kept in the lead from the start. Lincoln started at the bat, and for seven innings fanned away at the pill which Merritte of Union cool and company beat them. Hubbard succeeded in getting a three-bagger; but was unable to move from third and anxiously watched those who followed him with no avail. Johnson of Lincoln also kept a cool head and good control while in the box; but the Red and Steel Boys connected with the path of his pill from the fourth inning when Gregory met i tas it began to change its course and prostrated it for a three-bagger over second. Allen Jackson then knocked a sacrificed-fly to center field which brought in the first run of the game. During the fifth inning, spectators wondered as to wether Gregory informed Johnson of the ball path or not, since Johnson made the same place for a like three-bagger as did Gregory. He was sent home by Green who banged a hot pill to second. The third run was made in the seventh inning by Johnson after a wild throw was made by short-stop, which culminated in the score. Union's team was caught off its balance in the eighth inning which cost their two scores, making the score 3-2 in Union's favor. Lincoln had a splendid chance to win the game in the ninth inning when Johnson, leading off drove out a three-bagger to right field. Croudup came up and made first base after two of his predecessors had fanned to the wind, then stole second, causing two men to be on bases, two men out and the score standing 3-2 in Union's. Hubbard, feeling confident, apprehended the master stroke after wishing the till wall three times left Johnson and Croudup stranded on bases. The score ended 3 to 2 in Union's favor. Coach Martin was at a loss in the beginning of the season to know just who would fill hird base, left vacant McGuinn and pitchers box left vacant by Thompson. But now the question has been solved by the excellent showing of Boffman at third and Meritte on the mound. Coach Martin said that he is not worrying about any position on his "air tight tie" because he will be played will be against V. N. and I. I of Petersburg on Easter Monday. This game promises to be one of the best games of the season since V. N. & I.

Just a year ago son, God called you to heaven above And ever since that fatal night The world has never seemed no bright.

But when I reach that bitter land, I'll clasp again his outstretched hand Where sickness, sorrow, pain nor death Can never steal our renewed breath. From his broken hearted mother, MARRY PERRY IN MEMORIAM. In sad and loving memory of our dear aunt, Mrs. Francis Barber whom one year ago told, April 9th, 1922 since one we loved was called away.
