Neeley, Joint TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 9, 1923 MY HEART IS INDICTING A GOOD MATTER J. E. Mason We are proud to note the opening of a coal mine by Messrs Reid and Marshbanks. This coal mine should furnish much employment for the youth of the race. The big number of yopng men that was "let out" of the Severs Hotel a few nights ago might find employment at this mine, provided their sense of dignity does not forbid them to do this class of work. Hon W. T. Hodges, the Supreme Ruler of the Industrial Order of Wise Men left last Tuesday for Chicago, where he will install about 600 members of this organization. He will leave there for St. Louis where he this organization meets the need of the times. It has for its purpose the will install a like number. It seems establishment of factories, banking, real estate, and a general commercial and industrial business. All this resolution stuff does not amount to a tinker's dam, the Negro's time in the South is just out. The Negro only asks for the ballot, to ask more is a pig, to submit to less is a fool. The South is absolutely incompetent of extending justice to the Negro. They can not reverse themselves over night what they have been teaching and practicing for a century. We should not expect of them to "battle nature" in such a game. But he should be honest enough with himself and the Negro to "Let us pass on" and not try to keep us where our social, intellectual, financial, industrial and spiritual health is not good. Now, children, you must not hate the white man, let him do the hating if he will just keep up his hating we will weep at his grave. No race can hope to get close to God who peddles race hatred from one generation to another. While they murder, mob, kill and prepare to wreck, this the greatest country God ever gave to man, let us be real meek etc., never fear a race who has lost favors with God, just pray while he boasts, steals and murders. Do this and we will be victorious. Do you not see the hand writing on the wall? There is no Daniel to interpret, but those of us who are close to God can see and read. The assassination at Atlanta a few days ago is just the beginning of a long reign of terror. It was a pistol shot that threw the world into flood. I am asking you to get closer to God and watch the terror.

The conference adopted the budget system; whereby each member is to pay the sum of Two Dollars for the General Church's Claims and to assist in fostering conference projects. The attention of the Kansas-Missouri conference is now turned to the work in Denver, Colorado, Omaha, Nebraska, Des Moines, Iowa, and Jamison Temple of Kansas City, Mo. The next session will be held in Kansas City, Mo., in the Jamison Temple, at which time the conference expects the auditorium to be completed. OBITUARY OF REV.

F., Los Angeles Master Masons and Brothers are broken. Be true to your meet again in that beautiful c I do not know why flowers die, surrender their beauty and dedicate their fragrance to the passing breeze, except it be to bloom a new in some fairer realm where its petals are eternal. I do not know why our loved ones pass away and quit forever these mundane shores, save that it be to live anew in some fairer, purer clime and joyously await our coming. I do not know why the golden lights of our firmament go out, except it be to shine always in celestial glory. When flowers bloom no more and die to live again; when loved ones pass to the distant shores to await our coming; when earthly lights go out to shine again in heavenly realms, 'tis but a positive assurance that there is no death. All things of earth must soon or late pass quietly through an open gate called—"Never More." To us again 'they'll not return, although our hearts do often yearn to clasp some dear one love and true who has that mystic gate passed through. A down this pressing vale of tears, with no regard of months and years: earth and its fullness rush on, pass through and are forever gone. True to its divine appointment death the great commoner is constantly calling to their eternal home the children of men. From the lowly walks of life, and from exalted stations they are going in countless myriads to make up the great innumerable host. Now and then a watchman on the wall finishes his earthly course, close his hymn book and Bible, and joins the passing throng. Before us today, in mute testimony of God's love and mercy lie the mortal remains of Itev. James Logan Craw, our late brother and friend who has quit the walks of men and upon the wings of victory has gone up to help to crown Him Lord of All. What we are today physically he was, what he is we soon will be. Rev. Craw was born in Navarrocita, Grimes county, Texas, November 21, 1874. He was the son of John and Pricilla Craw. Their only child. When about six years old he came with his grandparents to Parsons and here he grew to manhood. The vicissitudes of life peculiar to the common lot of humanity were his. He had hills to climb, he had temptations to fight and enemies to subdue; and, too, he had friends to advise and loved ones to give him comfort and cheer, and one of the greatest of these was Rev. J. R. Ransom, his spiritual father. He attended the public schools of Parsons, laying the foundation for an excellent education and in 1894 graduated with honor from Hobson Institute, a school founded and operated by the society of Friends. For some years before entering into the ministry he taught in the public schools. Rev. Craw was always interested in the work of the church and the Sunday school and for a number of years while in the period of life that marks the opening of young manhood he was superintendent of the A. M. E. Sunday school and a valuable members of the choir. I shall never forget how beautifully and with what spirit he used to sing "The Holy City." While life lasts and memory is unimpaired I shall never forget the singer nor the song. With the exception of Dr. Ransom, I suppose there are none that, as a friend, knew him better than I. Rev. Craw was converted under the spiritual guidance of Dr. J. R. Ransom. He was always righteously ambitious and in 1906 took up the active work of the ministry. He began his ministerial work at Hillsdale and Olathe, then two years at Emporia, from Emporia to Lawrence where he remained two years. Then four years at Portland, Oregon, four years at Los Angeles, one year as presiding elder in the Puget Sound conference, and two years pastor at Seattle, Washington. July 1, 1911, Rev. Craw was married to Miss Lillian Jeltz of Topeka, Kansas, one of the most popular and efficient teachers of that city. The union was a happy one and there came into the family, by adoption, one son, Fliny Covington Craw, an obedient, worthy son of whom the father was justly proud. That son and his loving wife survive and are here today in humble submission to the inevitable will of the Almighty God. Rev. Craw was beyond all question devoted to his mother, and this world would be so much better if the young men of today would follow his example. Of his mother he loved to say—"She lives the life." His favorite songs were: "We'll Understand it Better by and by." "I'll be Present When the Roll is Called." "You May Look for Me For I'll Be There." "Rest for the Weary," and "Blessed Assurance." His favorite passages of scripture were the 23rd Psalm, and the 8th chapter of Paul's letter to the Romans. And, O, I can hear him saying "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor heights nor depths nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." On last Monday morning the Immortal spirit of our beloved brother quit poor tenement of clay and disrobing itself of earthly cares and ills went home to glory to join that heavenly host that preceded him. Age 48 years, 10 months and 21 days. His courage was dauntless, his faith was steadfast and he has gone to his higher reward. He was a loving husband and father. A devoted son and before his illness a sweet singer and a powerful preacher. He leaves to mourn his passing, his wife, Mrs. Lillian Jeltz Craw, his son, Floyd Covington Craw, his mother, Mrs. Priscilla Craw Westfall, many relatives and friends. He was a member of Angel City A. F. and A. M. Lodge No. 18, Golden Rule 5959 G. U. O. of O. F., Los Angeles, California. Master Masons and Brother Old Fellows, again your ranks are broken. Be true to yourself and your God until you shall meet again in that beautiful city of the blest. Servant of God, well done, Rest from thy love in glory; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master joy. --- OTTAWA, KANSAS On Sunday afternoon, October 21, there was a Mass meeting at Bethany Chapel Baptist church conducted by Mrs. T. I. Barlow, Mrs. Sarah F. Malone of the Florence Crittenten Mission of Topeka, addressed the audience on Welfare work among colored people. Mrs. Malone is a wonderful speaker, and told many interesting incidents. After her address the ladies of Ottawa really felt the need of a mission society in our city. That evening Mrs. Malone lectured at the A. M. E. church. There she was at her best, telling of the vital needs of a home. Mrs. Malone is a speaker that you never tire of listening to, because she always has something new to tell. A collection of $5 was taken and given to her. Mrs. lie, surrender their beauty and passing breeze, except it be to him where its petals are eternal. One pass away and quit forever it be to live anew in some fair-talt our coming.

The club met with Mrs. Cus. Cainey next Friday Nov. 9th. FACTS WORTH KNOWING The business of education is to train young people to do well what ever they are destined to do in the human situation in which they find themselves. Out of our schools and colleges must come better trading, better preaching, better writing of stories and better reading of them, better friendships, better songs, better games, better plays and better appreciation of them; better weaving of cloth, better making of roads and in a word, better doing of whatever automobiles and water using of them men and women do in the usual course of living. --- Civilized society has not yet abolished any of the vices, perhaps because it would be dull without them, but it does its best to climb a position, and in one case its will with succeeded. Stephen Gryn declares Hatred, a passion, a something which takes and shakes a man, has no longer any real existence for the spheres of life in which ambity is the rule. In such regions to avow your love is rather like undesiring in public, but nobody is shy of preclaiming hate, because what passes with them for hate, is not the crude stuff. Love always retains some of the primitive, all conquering way that Sophocles wrote about in another highly civilized society two thousand years ago; and even today no drawing room is without apprehension that the creature may break loose. It is not altogether a disagreeable apprehension; the discouragement of love is never whole-hearted; everybody, some one said, loves a lover, and at any rate every decent person does. But hate with its acid atmosphere carries discomfort into sensitive circles; like a bad smell, and so manners much more powerful than morals, have brought it very tolerably under control. The task has been easier because hate is not a necessity of nature; breeding earth has no use for it; and it runs counter to that instinct of association which is part of man's mexican Review. regarious temperament - North American Review. The Sunflower Att Club met at the home of Mrs. Jenilea Davenport on 21 and Mrs. Ava, Nov. 5th. The meeting opened with the Lord's prayer and scripture reading Matt. 5.1-25.

K. church, Madarikan Denyi, reputed African prince, I quoted as having said, "Let it be uner-too that the African rulers will not allow the American Negro agitators and their dupes to bring any of their conspirations into that continent for the purpose of defrauding the natives. It is against the ancient African laws and traditions for a slave or a descendant of a slave to dictate to o control the kings, chiefs, princes and presidents. Politically and financially speaking, the American Negroes are not in a position of controlling a free empire of their own part in Africa, because it takes a lot of money and education to control a government." REPUBLICAN WOMEN HIT CHILD LABOR CURB New York—The Women's Republican Club, Inc., has put itself on record as opposed to an amendment to the Federal Constitution conferring power upon Congress to regulate child labor. The federal child labor amendment is made necessary for adequate protection of children by the action of the supreme court in declaring that under the Constitution as it now stands congress is without authority, to wrest from employers the power to turn the health and lives of children into profits. NO ADAM AND EYE New York, Oct. 23.—There was no such place as the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve are a myth, declared Rev. Arthur Wilde at the New Church Sunday. "The whole story is a parable," the pastor added. "The Garden of Eden was not a place; it was a state of mind possessed by men of the early church. Actually God would bar no man from paradise because the theme of the whole Bible is Divine Forgiveness. The parable illustrates the truth that passion keeps us from the tree of life." WORDS OF WISDOM The real man is one who always finds excuses for others, but never for himself. Some men are like pyramids, which are very broad where they touch the ground, but grow narrow as they reach the sky. There are meny people who think that Sunday is a sponges to wipe out all the sins of the week. Happiness is not the end of life; character is. The truest self-respect is not to think of self. Flowers are the sweetest things It will pay you to investigate. WRITE TO-DAY PORO COLLEGE 4300 St. Ferdinand Avenue, ST. LOUIS, MO., U.S.A. DELT that God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into. "I can forgive, but I cannot forget," is only another way of saying, "I cannot forgive." What we call wisdom is the result, not the desiduum, of all the wisdom of past ages. Reason can tell us how love affects us, but cannot tell us what love is. Retinement which carries us away from our fellowmen is not God's refinement. The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom. Selfishness is that detestable voice which no one will forgive in others, and no one is without in himself. The elect are those who vill, and the nonelect those who won't. Success is full of promise till men get it; and then it is a last year's next, from which the birds have flown. In the morning we curry the world like Atlas; at noon we loop and bend beneath it; and at night it crushes us flat to the ground. The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next. A cunning man overreaches no one so much as himself.—Ileny Ward Becher. --- DECORATE YOUR ROOMS Everyone realizes the great decorative value of cut flowers, and how much their presence adds to the charm of a room. Unfortunately observes a writer in the Portland Oregoninn, at certain times of the year, cut flowers are expensive and do not last long. One is therefore often obliged to do without them, no matter how welcome they would be. But there is another resource that can take the place of cut flowers to some extent—branches of laurel or bunches of laurel twigs. Laurel is cheap and a good quantity can be purchased for ra very little money. Placed in jars or vases of water it will last a long time. If the water is changed frequently, it will not only keep fresh for weeks at a time, but will sometimes throw forth new shoots. In this way, at an insignificant cost one can add to any room the grace and interest that only a living branching thing will impart. Use jars or vases of agreeable color and of a proper shade to give support to the laurel. The green of the laurel leaves is of a virtually neutral hue and will look well with any surroundings or illouetted against any background. Placed on a table before a mirror or against a gray, yellow, blue or buff wall, for example, the laurel will fully justify its presence. OF INTEREST TO HOUSEWIVES A speck of cream of tartar add to fudge while cooking will avoid --- A bed-pedal, banana carf and lamp-shade of crevette will give a cool appearance to your bedroom during the warm months. When serving acid fruit put a piece of ice in the dish with the fruit and pour the cream over all. Then the cream will not cure. This is a good time to go over the roof of your house. It can be made rainproof by applying a tar preparation to cover small holes. Whitewash your cellar walls to make them clean and sanitary. There is a new paint for walls which can be sprayed on evenly, instead of applied with a brush. When baking chicken or meat-pie invent a teacup in the center of the pan and place the chicken around it. The gravy will fill the cup, and the crust will never fall in the middle and become heavy. DIGESTION A positive working program of health includes, as its chief aim, a normal cell-nourishing blood stream as the result of proper vitamins and food content that make for perfect digestion. Indigestion is often the result of bolted food. Food improperly cooked will cause gas in the stomach, bloating and belching. The same diet continually month after month is another cause. Poison in improper food, coffee, tobacco and lack of exercise resulting in constipation also induce chronic causes of indigestion. The teeth, stomach, small and large intestines must all do their part to insure a perfect digestion and a healthful elimination. Brush the teeth carefully night and morning and after each meal if possible. One hardly realizes the importance of good teeth until they are lost. A thorough chewing of food holds saliva, the first of the digestive accomplishment. J. E.
