NO. 50 EIGHT SOUTHERN SONS OF NORFOLK ENTERTAINMENT A WORTHY AFFAIR Big Crowd Patronizes The Cause For Charity; Splendid Program Rendered Which was Enjoyed By The Audience. DELIVERYS ADDRESS Judging from the large crowd at St John's A. M. E. Church Tuesday night, the appeal of the Sons of Norfolk Social and Beneficial Association for public support of their third annual entertainment in behalf of the widows and orphans of the city met with hearty response. The seating capacity of the church was overtaxed with the big crowd that attended the affair. A beautiful program had been arranged with the Honorable Henry Lincoln Johnson as the principal speaker. Lincoln Johnson, veteran politician, polished platform orator and an ardent exponent of political equality, swayed his audience as he stood for an hour and pled for a stronger radicalism. At times he was humorous, agitated, and then bitter. He spoke along the same lines that characterize his utterances on the platform wherever he speaks. "Political freedom for the colored man in America" is a task to which he declares he has dedicated his life to sermon in the hedges and highways. The audience never tired of listening to the speaker as he stirred the emotions with his eloquence. Mr. Johnson was introduced by Rev. D. J. Lee, rector of Grace P. E. Christian who in a fitting manner briefly touched upon the life history of The program composed of local talent was a feature that contributed admirably to the success of the entertainment. The singing of the Sons of Norfolk and the beauty and splendor solo rendered by Mrs. S. B. Nobile received prodigious applause. The many selections rendered by the orchestra added much to the occasion. The dramatic recital by Miss James was an entirely pleasing affair. Mrs. S. B. Nobile of Norfolk have been giving a benefit entertainment each year solely for the purpose of aiding widows and orphans of Norfolk. These entertainments are not only institutional with regard to the audience they are regarded with great favor.

President's Message Fails to Inspire Nation Covers Myriad Themes, But Ignores The Vital Issue of Better Race Relations In U. S. Washington, D. C., Dec.—The message of the President to the short session of Congress, delivered on Friday, December 8, was remarkable as for those upon which he dwelt. The paramount problem, threatening the very stability of American institutions, is not transportation or agricultural ills; nor is it the enforcement alone of the Eighteenth Amendment, for the enforcement of which has been included in the appropriation for the U.S. Department for the next fiscal year. But it is the equal enforcement of all the laws so long as they remain upon the statute books and a part of the basic law of the land—the Fourteenth Amendment as well as the Eighteenth Amendment, or the underlying administration of justice thus duly constituted tribunals. MANY PROBLEMS FOR SOLUTION Declaring at the outset that "so many problems are calling for solution that a recital of all of them in the face of the known limitations of a short session of Congress, would be necessary for the purpose, President Harding immediately into a discussion of some of the most pressing problems facing the Nation. COMMISSION; provisions for the settlement by employers and employees themselves of all except those disputes most vitally affecting public welfare; provisions of all strikes affecting public welfare. PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT "Constitutional prohibition has been adopted by the nation. It is the supreme law of the land," he said. "In plain speaking, there are conditions relating to its enforcement which savor of nation-wide scandal. It is the most domesticalizing factor in our country." "The day is unlikely to come when the eighteenth amendment will be repealed," President Harding emphatically declared. "The fact may as well be recognized and our course adapted accordingly." He announced that he intended to call for conference of the government of all the states to talk over the concurrent responsibility of the states and the Federal Government in the enforcement of the Volstead law. Among the myriad themes discussed as the resident are included proposals of institutional prohibitions prohibiting child labor and restricting issues of tax-exempt securities. His message embodied so With reference to the coal and railway strikes, he declared that our progress had been hindered by them, and that the railway strike in particular had "accentuated the difficulty of the American farmer." "Agril-terrorism," he continued, "is a national misfortune and to follow the farmer he urged wider credits for them and the enlargement of the farm loan bureau. Directly affecting the condition of the farmer is the complex transportation the consideration of Congress the coordination of all transportation facilities; the abolition of the Railway system; the introduction of a labor division in the Interstate CHURCH WOMEN SOUTH ORGANIZE TO FIGHT SCOURGE Methodist Women Demand That Mob Violence Be Blotted Out In The Country; Pledge Their Best Efforts To This. ADOPT COMPREHENSIVE WORKING RESOLUTIONS Atlanta, Ga. (Special):--A Movement to enlist the 250,000 organized women of the Southern Methodist Church in a determined and systematic suppression of lynching was launched a week. A large group of representative women from thirteen States, all of them officials of the Woman's Missionary Council or Conference Social Service Superintendents, met at the call of the Race Relations Committee, spent three days in conference and达成了 conclusion issued a vigorous address to the public relative to the lynching evil, calling upon the authorities of the several states and counties for its complete suppression and upon the citizens, the pulpit and the press for their united support to this end. The defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was used to give point to their utterance. Pledge Campaign They further pledged themselves individually and in an official capacity ar representing the social service leadership of the organized Methodist women, to a persistent campaign for adequate state laws and for law enforcement. Details of the plan are already being worked out. The statement follows: Whereas, the defeat of the Dyer anti-lynching bill, which provided for the federal control of lynching, has thrown the whole responsibility back upon each state for removing this hideous crime; therefore, we resolved that we, the Commission on Rape Politics of Woman's Missionary Council, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, the conference social service superintendents and other officers in conference in Atlanta, Ga., December 4, 1922, do now demand of the authorities of the several states that they make good their claim proving their competence to abolish mob violence and lynching. That we assume our responsibility as citizens for the protection of human life and hereby call upon all the people of all the states, upon the pulpit and upon the press to join in an insistent and persistent agitation against this barbarous practice. The state plans for an organized movement in being of adequate state laws and law enforcement. Miss Annie Williams, one of the most faithful members of the First U. P.

Commission; provisions for the settlement by employers and employees themselves of all except those disputes most vitally affecting public welfare, and prevention of all strikes affecting public welfare. PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT "Constitutional prohibition has been adopted by the nation. It is the supreme law of the land," he said. "In plain speaking, there are conditions relating to its enforcement which savor of nation-wide scandal. It is the most demoralizing factor in our public life." The day is unliable to come when the amendment will be repealed." President Harding emphatically declared. "The fact may as well be recognized and our course adapted accordingly." He announced that he intended to call a conference of the governors of all the states to talk over the concurrent responsibility of the states and the Federal Government to the enforcement of the Volunted law. Among the myriad themes discussed by the President were included proposals of constitutional amendments prohibiting child labor and restricting issues of tax-exempt securities. His message embodied suggestions for registering aliens and militants in the country, providing for their more thorough conservation of the forests, and finally an essay on international relations. COMPREHENSIVE MESSAGE The address of the President was a comprehensive message in the things it covered, but President Harding seems to be lacking in leadership and there has been in the past but little responsiveness on the part of Congress to the suggestions for legislation coming from him. He inspires 'no enthusiasm. At the confluence of the two, he has through the throngs in the passageway-to-bis-waiting automobiles there was no applause. RACE FIRE INS. CO. THE FIRST TO PAY NEW BERN CLAIMS Representatives On The Fire Swept Grounds. Adjusting And Paying Claims Just Four Days After The Big Disaster. STOP PAYMENTS TO GIVE OTHERS TIME TO START Durham, N. C.—The disastrous fire that razed between 1,200 and 2,000 homes at New Bern, N. C., and destroyed, about $2,000,000 worth of property, was owned by colored people, gave the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company, of Durham, N. C., owned and controlled by Negroes, the first big opportunity to measure up to the purposes of and carry out the services for which it camp into existence. PAYS OFF CLAIMS How it measured up to its opportunities; its obligations is related as follows: Early Monday morning, December 4th, just four days after the conflagration, representatives of this concern were on the fire swept grounds. Now Bern, and began not only the actual payment, but the actual payment of damage, the numerous fire insurance companies with interests involved, Bankers' Fire was the first to adjust and pay claims. This Negro company continued to adjust and pay claims until 2:30 Wednesday afternoon, when repayment of other concerns came to their town mayor informed them that Bankers' Fire was working a hardship on other companies because many of their clients were coming to their offices demanding the payment of their claims because Bankers' Fire was settling up. The Negro Fire is such a tremendous proposition that many of the companies were not able to get sufficient men on the grounds before the week of December 11th. In order to work in harmony with them Bankers' Fire Insurance Company stopped paying off further claims until such time as they ready to begin. However, this Negro company and already adjusted and paid off claims amounting to about $80,000. The officials of the Bankers' Fire state, however, that they had no thought of trying to be the first to settle and pay claims, but when they had the instruction and suffering and could easily agree that there was little to do but pay claims, they waived all formality in order to relieve the suffering.

Will Begin Life Anew. SENT UP FOR MURDER After twenty-two years behind the grey walls of the penitentiary, shut away from friends and relatives and events, but with hope burning eternal in the human breast," William Jenkins was walled into life again a free man. Twenty cents and the degrading habit of gambling cost Jenkins twenty years of liberty. Twenty cents came near costing him his life. Jenkins has been granted a condition to be executed, even to E. Lee Trinkle, and will walk for a century in the custody of the same lawyer that for sixteen months, twenty years ago, employed every legal technicality to save him from the hangman's noose. Moon in 1900 William Jenkins met George Williams in a "dive" at Queen and Cook streets. An argument ensued between the two men over a twenty cents bet that Jenkins had won from Williams early that morning, and which Williams had to pay. To settle the matter Jenkins had shot Williams dead. The murder was considered a most brutal one. LAWYER MELVIN APPOINTED When the man was brought to trial Judge Portlock, then presiding over Norfolk County Circuit Court, appointed attorney George A. Melvin to defend him. The lawyer put up an effort to get his client and after Jenkins had been admitted to die, the attorney succeeded in having Governor Tyler investigate the circumstances in the case. After a thorough investigation the Governer commuted the sentence to life imprisonment. The lawyers who have had such an experience as that enjoyed by attorney Melvin in this case and fewer still are the convicts who have lived twenty years of a life sentence to be released in the custody of the same attorney that stood by them at the trial. Several applications were made for Jenkins' pardon during his long stay in prison, but they were all rejected. Upon the endorsement of leading citizens of Portsmouth Governor Trinkle has now granted him a conditional pardon his letter to attorney Melvin in this connection follows: "George A. Melvin, Attorney, Portsmouth, "John G. Tilton, Norfolk, "I have today given consideration to the matter of the pardon of William H. Jenkins, who was convicted in the Norfolk county circuit court of first degree murder and sentenced to hang in jail in which sentence was imposed to life. This man has served over twenty-two years with a good record. This pardon is recommended by the prosecuting commonwealth's attorney and many of the past and present local officials, is not objected to by the present judge and commonwealth's attorney, and is the part of at least mercy and humanity to give this man a chance and I am today granting him a conditional pardon on the express condition that if he further violates the law his pardon will be revoked and he will have to be returned to the penitentiary. In prison has taught him to recognize the fact that he should have regard for the law. I sincerely hope he will now make a man of himself. William Jenkins is now 48 years old. Royster Addresses Col.

N. I. A. PRESIDENTS HOLD CONFERENCE Commissioner Of States In Strong Address Outlines Aims And Purposes Of The Organization. The first Conference of State Presidents of the union branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was held at Liberty Hall, Princess Anne avenue and Church streets, beginning Sunday morning at 11 a.m. o'clock and continuing for two days. PRINCIPAL ADDRESS The principal address was delivered on Sunday morning by the Commissioner, who outlined the aims and purposes of the organization. Mr. Jones and from a well prepared firm, but the division is by no means monotonous, for he possesses it with vigorous outbursts of eloquence and oratory. He said in part: "The organization asks that the Negro be given a chance to demonstrare administrative ability. He feels that the administrative ability he can present to the world a civilization, a culture, a republic worthy of the highest respect and admiration. "The organization has demonstrated more than ever that through his own initiative, his own genius, his own organization, he has way to nationhood independently of others. Hundreds of young men and young women graduates from various high schools and colleges are in its employment earning from $15-55,000 per week. "The organization believes that right is a virtue, might the greatest of sins. Its members love all humanity irrespective of color, class or creed. It teaches loyalty to all governments. It believes in self-preservation, nature's first law, and, therefore, it teaches loyalty to all dependents upon themselves to strike out on their own initiative; to build up industries and commerce and so employ their sons and daughters, instead of invariably depending on the goodwill and hospitality of others." Stellar Symphony Orchestra Hampton Quartette and Booker T. Washington High School Chorus Capture Audience. 2,000 PERSONS HEAR /THE GREAT MUSICAL The campaign being waged against tuberculosis in this city by the Colored Anti-tuberculosis League received a vigorous push Friday night when a grand benefit concert was given at the Armory Hall in interest of the work. More than 2,000 persons occupied seats in the spacious auditorium and listened to a magnificent entertaining performance by the Symphony Orchestra, of fifty pieces the Hampton Institute Quartette and the Booker T. Washington High School Chorus of fifty voices. Every foot of available space on the lower floor was combined choristers and musicians set off against the large audience on the lower floor produced a wonderful scene against which the strains of high class music and the notes of combined voices enraptured the assemblage. EXCELLENT PROGRAM Every number was a stellar attraction and it is not believed that any purely musical concert given in this city in recent times surpassed this affluence. A tremendous applause followed the reediness of each number and the singers received repeated enchores. Mr. Lincoln Warren conducted the orchestra with a vim which seemed to be transmitted to every player and to the instrument once or twice there as instrument in evidence, for did the audience ever lack in the intense enjoyment of the many selections played. The Hampton Institute Quartette was compelled to respond to three enquiries on its first appearance and Chorus responded to four enchor s. The quartette and chorus sang the folk songs "Steal Away," "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray," "Pharah's Army Got You," "In the most typical expressive of the soul singing we them to the world. The deep sentimentalism expressed in the rendering of these songs was truly interpretative of the profound religious characteristics of the race that gave them origin. But folk songs were not the only vocal music rendered at this concert, for Mrs. Maud Clainbera and Miss Lena Wilson took the operatic role. Each appeared in a solo with an enchore. Their thrilling voices carried their notes to heights that caused a still fall over the audience that was scatastic. Mr. McNeil Thomson took the opportunity at the close of the first half of the program to explain the purpose of the anti-tuberculosis drive and the great need of a vigorous campaign against the white plague. In the meantime ladies were going thru the Belfast Red Cross Seals. The capable man was the Sons of Norfolk and the ushers of the St. John's A. M. E.

Scarborough Special A- gent of tho Department of Agricul Eure and former president of Wilber- force University in a letter to Sena- tor Frank B. Willis sets forth strong opposition to the resolution offe by. Senator Williams of Mississippi to erect ‘a monument to the'Mam- mies of the South.” “This, opposition voiced by Dr. Scarborough is likely to find expression through other rep- resentative colored citizens of the country to an extent that will allence the efforts of the Mississippian before they materalize to any appreciable extent, me ‘The former president of Wilberforce University points out that there are many other ways in which the’mone3 to be used for erecting this monu ment could be used that would no only be appreciated by the xace, bu would also show the government's ap preciation of service rendered the country by its colored citizens. He says that there is more sentimen in this resolution than sense and i is intended to reflect upon the educa ted Negro of. to-day. “It can hav but one meaning and that is to shox the southern preference for the Negr of (years "ago, ‘while ‘in slavery “a compared with the educated Negr of the present.” adds Dr. Scatbor ough. “It is a thrust at Negro edu cation,” continues his Letter “and t pass it would be a disgrace to th country as well as those who vote for it." “If tho Government has any mone to throw away.” says the writer “why not use it to erect a monumer }to colored soldiers who lost thei lives in tho world war. Somethin ike this would bo sensible and woul | show an appreciation on the part ¢ ‘| the Government of the services re dered by the Negro in the great cor | Aict just closed, or it could be use -|for Negro education in Washingtc -|city or to increase the salary of unde :| paid colored stenographers and typi ‘tin Government eorsica.” * TITUSTOWN The Bantor wade a hvipfal talk on the Sunday school “Ieswun.

Phone 203 Race Citizens In Old North State Give $175,000 Toward Education N.C. SPENDS $3,000,000 FOR NEGRO EDUCATION North Carolina Leading In Educational Development For Colored Citizens. Co-operating with the state and other agencies in carrying out an ambitious program for Negro education, the colored citizens of North Carolina have given $175,000 to augment funds received from other sources for this purpose. With a determination to reduce illiteracy to the minimum among all the people within its confines, the Old North State is executing an educational program among its Negro population that involves an expenditure of £3,000,000 annually. This state is setting a pace for the development of the possibilities of its race population that puts it far in advance of any Southern state and possibly most Northern states in this respect. Recently there was held at Raleigh a remarkable conference called by Mr. N. C. Newbold, director of the division of Negro Education in the State Department of Public Instruction, at which the director reported that the commonwealth is spending approximately $3,000,000 annually for teachers' salaries, buildings and equipment in colored schools. With the aid of the Slater and James and the Rosenwald fund, the division has spent about $25,000 on the three State Normal Schools; $145,000 for the A. and T. College at Greensboro; $750,000 for 233 Rosenwald schools ($175,000 of this amount being given by the colored people themselves, and $175,000 by the Rosenwald Fund); $125,000 for the 24 county training schools; $35,000 from public tax money for Jeanes teachers in 40 counties (the remaining third of these salaries being paid from the Jeanes Fund); $1,000,000 for new schools in town and cities; $15,000 for schools of diverse cultures; and teacher training in nine private schools; $20,000 for summer schools; $100,000 for a hospital for tubercular Negroes, and $35,000 for a reformatory for Negro boys. In 1920-21 North Carolina paid its colored public school teachers $1,500, 000 an increase over the year before of $350,000. Greenville Citizens Aiding Fire Sufferers The meeting at the Courthouse last Sunday by the colored citizens to aid the New Bern fire sufferers was a very representative one. Dr. Taylor conducted a highly appreciative musicale, assisted by Mrs. M. Cherry and others, among whom were the Burleigh Glee Club, the Methodist choir, the N. C. Mutual Quartette and other select singers. The amount of money realized cannot be known until the last of the present week. The officers are regarded as very efficient men. Dr. Battle is chairman; H. D. Barnhill, treasurer and Julius Haskins, secretary. It is suggested that there be organized an Emergency Society and a doctor appointed chairman. It is felt that the doctor in such a position could be of great service to the colored people. PLYMOUTH, N. C. ROPER, N. C. AMHERST Services by Mt. Epwre, Mount Sunday. At 3 P.

"The Dyer Bill Lynched," is the laconic headline which the Washington Tribune puts to an editorial on the recent demise of the celebrated antlynching measure. Taking into consideration those who put it to death we think the Dyer bill got off light. The Negro World War veteran who stood in the gallery of the Senate and said, when Senator Hitchcock's scurrilous attack on black soldiers was being delivered, "Mr. President, may I interrupt the Senator a moment," had the courage of his convictions. Men like Senator Hitchcock and Senator Hefin have an idea that Negroes are not human and, therefore, have no feelings. They and their sort are beginning to find out differently. "The so-called 'Jim Crow' law is neither more nor less than a necessary police regulation, designed, not to humiliate anybody, but to prevent riots,' says the Greensboro (N. C.) Daily News. Alright, let us agree as to that; it is a good mental attitude in which to make an approach. Now let us go a step further and make some investigations, which will undoubtedly disclose that the law in its practical operation does humiliate and even outrage the black people. While the colored people pay the same fare their accommodations in the railroad stations and on the trains are not even relatively equal in appointments, sanitation and ordinary comforts, except in rare instances. As a general rule the conditions under which colored people have to travel in states where the "Jim Crow" law operates are horrible to say the least. Former Governor Bickett, of North Carolina, recognized this and appointed a commission to make an investigation in that state and submit recommendations to the legislature The commission pointed out how im provements could be made without changing the law one iota, but no thing has been done. SERVICE FIRST By getting on the ground first and paying off its claims before the members of the terrible fire in New Bern, N. C., had gotten cold, the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company, owned and operated by colored men, put service to suffering humanity ahead of business formalities. Insurance adjusters usually take their time. It is old business procedure and has less saved the fire insurance companies some money. But after all business has a soul, which very often responds to the unselfish urge in men. This is the invisible element that makes some business enterprises outgrow others that appear to have the same opportunities. The way that the whole of North Carolina responded to New Bern's call for assistance in the hour of its overwhelming loss should be an inspiration to her people. Over $400,-000.00 in relief funds had poured into the city in a little more than a week, and although more than 3,000 people were homeless, jobless and without food, there has been very little sickness or suffering. And the fact that the great majority of the victims were Negroes did not make any difference whatever. In the hour of their distress they were just, people—North Carolinians. TRAINED IN EUROPE "The first and only colored lady aviator comes from Europe," says the New York Evening Journal. Besaie Coleman is her name and she has flown a plane with a 220 horsepower motor, the most powerful ever run by a woman, it is said. She took to flying naturally without any teaching." No, Miss Coleman is an American, but got her opportunity to fly in France, where she received some training. Opportunities for Negroes in certain restricted fields of human endeavor are somewhat more plentiful in France than they are in some other countries. That is why Miss Coleman went to France to get her first lessons in flying. Continuing its discussion of the colored flying girl the Evening Journal said: "The colored race should supply many excellent flyers. Colored men and women have natural physical balance superior to that of white people. They usually ride a bicycle the first time they try." That is interesting. The Arthur Brisbane that which runs through the editorial columns of all the Heart papers gives the assertion the backing of knowledge.

Washington, D. C.—A Baptist College in Washington, but exerting a national influence is the object of the District of Columbia Baptists. Although the idea of a Washington Baptist Seminary located in the capital of Washington, with the Baptists of Washington, D. C. it is proposed as a National Institution and the cooperation of the demonination all over the country is sought to bring into a realization this proposed centrally located church for the entire body of the church. The idea has been maturing in the minds of the leaders of the District of Columbia Baptist Convention since that body last met, but the man making the question was unable to present the question. Through the action of the Washington Development Corporation Mr. Samuel H. Thompson, president, that question has been eliminated as the corporation has donated to the two universities affiliated with the center of Douglass Purk, valued at $8,000, Douglass Park is a beautiful sub-division located on the Virginia side of the Potomac River overlooking Washington city. The opportunity to cooperate of the denomination throughout the country, the opportunity is now present to establish a $1,000,000 school in this city, states Dr. W. H. Jernigan, president of the Convention, and the Baptist in Washington are very enthusiastic over it. The white Baptists of the country now have plans under way for the establishment of a National Baptist Church in the West and evident that the colored Baptists of the country should be no less provided for, adds Dr. Jernigan and therefore the cooperation of the Baptists throughout the country is solicited.

GOLDEN TEXT-Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you-John 16: 16:14 1. Jesus at the Home of His Friends.-Luke 10:38-42 "The home of the Gospels dearest to the Christian heart is that of Bethany where the Master found a refuge from labor and prosecution and constant sympathy with Mary and Martha. The family of Bethany will have a place in the heart of Jesus' Disciples because they made a home for Jesus in the days of his ministry, and because they compassed him with ten offices of friendship during the strain of the Passion week."—Ian Maclaen. Jesus was a social being; he was a good mixer; but he had a few close and dear friends. Mary, Martha and their brother, Lazarus, were among the disciples of Jesus. Both Martha and Mary were fine women; one was "cumbered about much serving"; the other "sat at the Lord's feet and heard his word." Martha is marked as the head of the house. She received the guest and was busy with the preparations for the entertainment."—Vincent. "Mary is a type of a meditative person, one who draws apart at times busy activities for reading, meditation, and communion with God."—Snowden. Jesus was a model friend. In the words of Martha, "dost thou not care Lord," etc. verse 40, there is a gentle and verses 41, 42, Jesus kindly reproves Martha for her short-sightedness. "His love for man is made intense and personal by his love for Martha and Mary and Lazarus. As we study his relations in that Bethany home, he tender the tender friend, when he rebuke the anxious ment of Martha. Next, we see him as the sympathetic friend, when in the hour of their great affliction he came to them and mingled his tears with the grave of Lazarus Third, he behold him in the words of Lazarus when with the voice of Divine authority he declared himself the resurrection and the life and commanded Lazarus to come forth. We beheld him as the grateful friend, when with the words of gratitude he acknowledged Martha of devotion in breaking over him the precious spikonon. Combine these qualities—tenderness, sympathy, gratitude and Diligence, helpfulness, and they reveal the intense joy of manhood of Jesus' relations with those he loved." Dr. Donald Sage Mackay. 2. Jesus Among His Foes—Luke 11:14-54. In verses 14-36. The Critics of Jesus accuse him of being in league with demons, and by the power of the death of the Jesus) cast out devils. Jesus shows the power of his accusations—"a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand; if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out?" Read carefully verses 27-36. Verses 37-41—Jesus accepted a Pharisee's invitation to dine with him. The host was surprised to see that his guest did not wash first. He accused the Pharisees of external cleansing. While inwardly they were full of extortions." New Century Bible. "From the gentleness to severity of Jesus seems a difficult transition. Are they consistent in the same character? Or, are they contradictory? Or, are they unity of the circumstances. It was, of course, bigoted Pharisees against whom Jesus used some of the severest words ever spoken by human lips. To show tenderness for all sinning, suffering, responsive souls, and severity towards unloving souls, this is the right way. Our modern life needs the restoration of such convictions and affections as will make it capable of steamer antagonisms than it is now. We need to live good more, in order that we may have a stronger hatred of evil."—Davis In verses 4354-Jesus pronounces woe upon the Pharisees and Lawyers. Read Mt. 23:13-36. The Master severely rebukes the Pharisees for their selfishness (43); and for insincerity (44). "The Pharisees still exist as a party among Eastern Jews, and are called Perushim. So bad is their character that the bitterest term of reproaches in Jerusalem is, 'You are a deed from their character, as Christ depicted it, may be seen from the testimony of a Jewish writer: They proudly separate themselves from the rest of their co-religionists. Fanatical, bigoted, intolerant ceremonial law, law of the law, law a little binding, morality itself of no importance."—Cambridge Bible. There was a difference between Pharisees and Lawyers; the latter position involved more culture and tradition than the former, the 'theologians' of that day. Hence the man's reproach. 'Lawyer' and 'Scribe' seem to be more or less convertible terms (verses 52-53; Mt. 23-13). Jesus here charges them with misusing the law, and insisting rancour (47-51), and theological arrogance and exclusiveness (52)—Cambridge Bible. These lawyers preached but practiced not. They were forever exacting the law, and were dens upon others which they themselves would not touch. These religious leaders had taken sway the key of knowledge; they were stumbling blocks to those who desired to enter the Kingdom. There was no Christ need not be violent antagonists of his. They may not rage openly against him as the Scribes and Pharisees did. They may not even argue in opposition to his words and try to corrupt his wisdom. Who is not for Christ is against him: "All that are not his friends are his face." Brownie Club BREEZES Brownie Club BREEZES Conducted By MIRIAM DIXON fifth grade.

Courtney Jenifer and Judge Duncan in the case of Patrol man Charles Urban on trial recently, killed in a police shooting colored, in his home more than a year, ago. The story of the killing is in effect as follows: Charles Williams, about seven years ago, purchased a house in the 900 block on North Chapel street. This block is in the heart of the section inhabited by Bohemians. These foreigners objected to colored people living in the section and when Mr. Williams improved his residence until was easily the most prestigious home the block of elegance was intensified. Patrolman Urban is a Bohemian and his brother, Joseph Marshalk, whom he visited quite often, lived across the street in front of Mr. Williams. One day last year, while off duty and in civilian clothes the policeman visited his brother, who told him that the playing of Mr. Williams' graphophone disturbed his family. The two brothers, it is alleged, held a secret confab in the basement of Joseph's apartment and across the street, the story goes, and knocked on Mr. Williams' door. After exchanging a few words the colored man shut the door in his face whereupon the policeman pulled his revolver and fired through the panel of the door. He pushed the door open walked in and fired more shots into the body of the dying man, and wielded his back across the set. Mr. Williams' face was out of the house and go across to the home of the policeman's brother and told him that he was dying and asked WRITE POR AGENTS' ATTRACTIVE PROPOSITION $110,000 TOWARD that something be done for him. Urban dragged him back to his homa and left him to die before Mrs. Williams who was visiting her sister returned to their home.
