Richmond Planet

This may be our last battle. We believe that it is the beginning of our final triumph. MAY 17, 1923 JOHN MITCHELL, JR THE RICHMOND PLANET "STAY ON THE SHIP" and "HOLD FAST TILL I COME" Commends Those Who Left the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church. Will Obey God's Orders...Makes No Definite Promise...Congregation Jubilant. MAY 17, 1923 Virginia State VOLUME XLI. NO. 28 "STAY ON "HOLD I Rev. Dr. R to Mt. Mo Commends Mount Will Obey God Promise Although he did not specifically say so, any doubt that Rev. Randolph V. Peyton could be induced to return to this city by the Mount Moriah Baptist Church, now temporarily worshiping in the Armstrong High School Auditorium was dissipated by the statements made during the two services held there last Sunday and the nature of the deliverances by the popular divine himself. He characterized as a falsehood the statement that he was under a contract to remain at Montclair, New Jersey for five years, and announced that he was n God's hands. His servant and acting under His commands. FINE AUDIENCE Sunday morning at 11:30, the auditorium was entirely filled on the main floor, although there were a few vacant seats in the gallery. The audience was enthusiastic and sympathetic. The choir sang appropriate selections. On the rostrum were: Rev. M. Jackson, Rev. J. T. Anderson, master of ceremonies, Rev. J. E. Griffin, Rev. S. E. Funn, Rev. B. Beecher Taylor and the able divine from Montclair, New Jersey. The collection was lifted, Rev. Dr. Peony requested the choir to sing, "Give me a heart like Thine." OTHERS SING Then one of the "floor choristers" stirred the assemblage by singing, "Jesus is going to Shake our Righteous Hand." The congregation joined in the melody. A collection of $110.00 was lifted. Dr. Peyton expressed his delight. The communion services were announced to take place at the True Reformers' Hall as other services would be held in the auditorium. 'Come Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove' was sung. Deacon Richard Hamilton announced that Rev. Dr. Peyton would speak. PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCES "Rev. Dr. Peyton announced that he had come under peculiar circumstances, that he came to advance the kingdom of the Lord and he would preach anywhere he felt disposed. He belonged to God Almighty. He didn't belong to anybody else and he did not care who did not like it. "I think," said he, "this church is a necessity. You have done what should have been done some ten or fifteen years ago. I said when I was pastor of the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church that I thought some of you should get your letters and go to some other church. THE BEE-HIVE ILLUSTRATION "When a hive gets too full of bees, the bees get together and form another beedive. You have been in the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church, one dodging behind the other. Go out and work. I am mighty glad, you are out. I guess the church is glad you are out too. When you get too many in this church let some go out and form another church. Now, my dears, I call your atention to the 27th chapter of the Apostles, 31st verse: 'Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers. Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.' A SPIRITUAL VOICE 'Today is communion. The subject that I want to discuss may seem for-sign to the communion, but I'll keep communion in my head. 'A Spiritual Voice' is the thought I have in mind this morning. A prisoner going on a sea voyage to Italy, to Rome. Except these abide in the ship, they cannot be saved. These refer to the sailors on board, [Image of a black-and-white portrait of a man with a bow tie and a serious expression. The background is plain and dark, with no visible text or other details.] not to the soldiers, not the centurion Paul gave the centurion to understand The soldiers were the same as marines on our ships, the centurion being the captain, the same as marine. Paul was minister. Everybody, every s olowed his orders. T knew the sea bett they heeded him an REV. DR. R. V. PEYTON NONE TO DIRECT. 'There were none to direct the ship, but the sailors. If they got off the ship would be lost. If they stayed on, things would be all right; if they got off, things all wrong. Some people are all right, when things are all right, but when things go wrong, they begin to scatter. These officers seemed to be all right, but you have been sailing in smooth waters. It is not going to be that way always. Look at Cape Hatteras, out there, it is always rough. Safety lies in staying in the church of Jesus Christ. There is no safety for you but in the church of Jesus Christ. IN THE MIDST OF ENEMIES "His course lay right in the midse of enemies and breakers. Whose course Brother Peyton? The apostles course. They lightened the ship, tied the rudder and let her go at will. He told God he'd not get to Rome. He told God he'd never get there, but God said to Paul, 'You are going to Rome, Paul.' 'Aint going there now, am I?' No, but you are going to Rome. You have appealed to Caesar and you are going there.' The ship was wrecked, but Paul and the whole company were saved. STUCK TO THE SHIP. "They struck to the ship until they could all safety leave for the shore. Paul as a leader, a pilot and and a believer in God. God had directed him to give the captain this information and he just lashed the rudder and let the ship go as it would let it drift as it would. The captain dropped a sinker and found that she was nearing land. Paul was minister, pilot and herc Everybody, every sailor, ever m40 fo lowed his orders. The sailors said they knew the sea better than he did, but they heeded him and saw to it that his orders were obeyed, for his order was to stay on board the ship. LANDED SAFELY. "The boat was lost, but they all landed safely on the land. We are all voyagers on the sea, of Time to eternity. Very soon, we shall make the haven of eternal rest. There is no walking there. We have got to stay on board the ship and sail there. We must sail through trouble, through broken hearts, through great tribulations. We shall be at the home of eternal bliss by and by. We shall dwell in the region of bliss or perish in the breakers of death. We'll be in heaven with those, who stayed on board or with the others in hell. WANT TO BE CLEAN "I want to be clean. Sinners leave Satan's piratical ship and be on the good old ship of Zion. There is a ship loaded with pirates, robbers all sinners on that ship, white, black and red all kinds. They are asked to leave that ship and get on the ship of Zion and get off at the heavenly wharf and go in to the presence of God. Get off that piratical ship. If we are true Christians, all will be well all will be success. It doesn't matter how dark the night all will be well. It doesn't matter how much the opposition, all will be well. WILL BE WITH YOU .Because God declares, I will be with you, all will be well. I'll bring it to pass Abraham. I will let your seed stay in Egypt 430 years, but I will bring them out with a strong hand. The same God today, yesterday and will be always. (Continued on Page 8.) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA; SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1924 TWO ACCIDENTS. A distressing accident took place. Wednesday afternoon at about 6:30 at the corner of Second and Marshall Streets when an automobile driven by C. O. Tucker, (white), 2816 Fendall Avenue ran upon the side-walk and struck nine year old Mary Lewis, daughter of Mrs. Gentle Lewis of 405 N. Second street just as she was about to cross to the pavement. Blood oozed from her head as a result of the blow and she was unconscious. She was con veyed to St. Philip's Hospital, where at this time she is in a precarious con dition. The report at the time was that she was dead. George Price, well-known as janitor of the Police Court was struck by an automobile at 17th and Franklin Streets driven by George Woolridge chauffeur, Wednesday and a boa in his le fractured.

Mrs. Johnson had been t visit a very sick friend Sunday night and on returning home about 9:30 was struck by an automobile at 13th and Hull Streets, just a half block from her residence. The machine passed completely over her body, breaking her left ankle, right arm crushing her skull and mangling her face. She was rushed to St. Philip's Hospital, but died before reaching that institution. She was later taken to Price's establishment and there remained for nearly twelve hours before being recognized, owing to the crushed condition of her head and face. The body was afterwards turned over to Mr. C. S. Cunningham who prepared it for burial. Mrs. Johnson was one of our best citizens and highly respected by the people of this community.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS NS SLAIN BARET. Noted Colored Man----Wanted escape. , Who Had Re- Taxicab. NEW YORK, May 24—Barron D. Wilkins, colored proprietor of a well-known Harlem cabaret and a power in the Harlem "Black Belt" was shot to death last evening because he refused to give "getaway money" to a man who had just killed another colored man. The shooting was in front of Wilkins's cabaret, the Exclusive Club, at 193 West 134th Street at Seventh Avenue. For hours after Wilkins was killed his place was surrounded by more than 500 colored men and women, weeping and walling over the loss of the man many of them termed "the finest man that ever lived." A rumor was spread that "Yellow Charleston," the man accused of the slaying, was still jn Harlem, scores of colored people be gan patrolling the streets in search of him. The man shot to death just before Wilkins was killed was John Parker, 32 years old, address unknown. Parker, Yellow Charleston and four other color men were playing in a dice game in a basement at 129 West 134th Street. Yellow Charleston" went broke. He asked Parker, a heavy winner, to make him a loan. Parker insisted that those who went broke in the game must remain out of it. According to the other players "Yellow Charleston" drew a pistol and fired a shot in to Parker's abdomen. SOUGHT AID FROM WILKINS "Yellow Charleston" fled to the street and toward the cabaret. He shared the general knowledge that Wilkins often helped with money those in desperate need of eluding he police. Outside his cabaret, Wilkins was chatting with a colored man named Benni C. C. Parker, known in the neighborhood as "Yum Yum." "Yelow Charleston" ran up to them gasping. "I just shot a guy and need $100 for a getaway." "I haven't got that much money," replied Wiltkins. According to witnesses, "Yellow Charleston" drew his pistol and fired four times at Wiltkins. Three bullets entered his body. The fourth went wild Wiltkins, who was six feet tall, broad of shoulder and of great strength despite his 63 years fell to the sidewalk unconscious. "Yellow Charleston" set about doing the job thoroughly. He pressed the pistol against Benni Parker's face and pulled the trigger. But there was no explosion and "Yellow Charleston" waving the pistol at a passing taxicab chauffeur, leaped into the car and fled Patrolman William Cannon of the West 135th Street Police station who was on the next block, ran up and started in a taxicab after "Yellow Charleston." Just then, however, a numBER of people ran up to him and announced that a man had been killed in the basement at 129 West 134th Street. Cannon abandoned the chase and hurried to that address. BOTH DIE IN HOSPITAL. John Parker, unconscious, had been carried to the sidewalk. He was bundled into a taxi cab. In the same machine was placed Wilkins. The two were hurried to Harlem Hospital, a block away. They died shortly after reaching the hospital. Police reserves of the West 135th Street station, two blocks away were called out. Detectives Stephen Donohue and Emil Panevino of the Homelife Squad hurried to the Harlem, as did Assistant District Attorney Morgan A. Jones. Half a dozen color people were taken to the police station. From them it was learned that "Yellow Charleston" was from Brooklyn. Detectives immediately were sent to the Brooklyn "Black Bounty." When it became known that Wilkins was dead the neighborhood for blocks around was rent with the walls of friends of the cabaret owner. For hours groups stood in doorways and under umbrellas recounting Wilkin's good deeds. Wilkins was known as a (Continued on Page 5) A.M.E. General Conference Comes to a Close LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 29.—What might be termed the most successful general conference in the history of the African Methodist Episcopal Church has just passed into history. It was a business session and much was accomplished not alone for the church, but the entire race. There were some surprises as well as disappointments in the election and it was expected because there were so many aspirants for each place and some had to be left for the next time, and in many cases it will always be the next time and it will never come. In the election of Bishops there were 57 aspirants, and only three to be elected. Three strong men were elected and the church will continue to move on. The bishops elected were Abraham Lincoln Gaines, Reverdy Cassius Ransom John Andrew Gregg. Bishop Gaines was the first to be elected and it was on the first ballot, and then followed the other two in their order on the second ballot. CONSECRATION OF BISHOPS The consecration of bishops took place Sunday and it was a great occasion, as it was the first time a bishop of the A. M. E. Church has been consecrated and it is not surprising that the crowd should number 15,000 from all parts of the country, including many Kentucky people representing all religious denominations. It was a solemn occasion. Bishop Levi J. Coppi was in the chair, the senior bishop Benjamin Franklin Lee, being unable to be present because of his physical condition. Music for the occasion was furnished by a select choir of one hundred voices under the direction of Prof. Hiram Simons of Portsmouth, Va. Bishop H. Blanton Parks, D. D. of Chicago preached the sermon. He used as his text "Preach the Word."—11 Tina, No.2. 19.2 Bishop Abraham Lincoln Gaines who was consecrated by Bishops Benjamin Franklin Lee and A. J. Carey was presented by Revs. L. L. Berry, Virginia; M. Fountain, Georgia; G. T. Stinson, Louisiana; J. H. Grant, Tennessee; L. H. Wilson, California. DB RANSOM PRESENTED. Bishop Reverdy Cassius Ransom, who was consecrated by Bishops J. Albert Johnson and I. N. Ross, was presented by Revs H. K. Spearman, New Jersey, W. T., Pope, Arkansas; A. D. Avery, North Carolina; L. G. Duncan, Alabama. Bishop John Andrew Gregg, who was consecrated by Bishops William Decker Johnson and William Alfred Fountain was presented by Revs J. C. Caldwell, Kentucky; H. Y. Tooke Florida; E. R. Vaughn, Kansas; F. M. Gow, South Africa; J. C. Beckett, Pennsylvania. Bishop A. J. Carey made the consecration prayer and the Bible was delivered by Bishop W. Sampson Brooks. ELECTED WITHOUT CONTEST. There were several general officers who were re-elected without contest. In this number were: Dr. D. M. Baxter Manager Book Concern; John R. Hawkins, financial secretary; A. S. Jackson, Commissioner of Education; S. S. Morris, Secretary of Allen Christian Endeavor League; and for the others there was a lively contest. There were some surprises in this connection, for the Rev. E. H. Coit of South Carolina was elected missionary secretary; Dr. J. G. Robinson of Michigan was elected editor of the Southern Christian Recorder and while there was a candidate for the editorship of the Christian Recorder, he was so far behind that the men declare that Dr. Rq. R. Wright was elected without opposition. Dr. J. D. Barksdale was elected editor of the Western Christian Recorder. Dr. S. J. Johnson, the noted preacher and leader from Texas was elected Church Extension secretary. WOMEN MEMBERSHIP It was decided that in the future women can hold membership in district, annual and even general conference. She will be contending for an election four years hence. She will be a factor in church work in the future. The representation of the laity of the church was increased from two to three. This was considered an advanced step. A HARD FOUGHT BATTLE. One of the hardest fought battles in the General Conference was for secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, yet after much discussion and many side meetings, when it went into the General Conference. Prof. Ira T. Bryant was re-elected over all the opponents on the first ballot. Immediately on the election, Bishop Joshua H. Jones served notice that he would contest the election of Ira T. Bryant on the ground that too many ballots were cast and the secretary had not received a majority. Bishop Williams D. Chappelle of South Carolina presided throughout the entire election, and he ruled that Bryant had been elected. When the time came, Bishop Jones withdrew his protest. Things moved along smoothly. The layman presented Bishop Chapelle with a loving cup in token of their appreciation for his fairness in presiding. Bishop H. Blanton Parks was presented with a fine oil painted portrait of himself. IMPORTANT BILLS:PASSED There were many important bills pre sented and passed during the session. All services were well attended. Prof. John R. won for himself a place in the hearts of his people. Bishop W. Sampson Brooks of West Africa raised $500 in 20 minutes for his work in Africa. Prof. Aaron E. Maine lone played an important part in the general conference. He is one of the most active laymen in the connection and served on some of the most important committees. He introduced a measure making better provision of the old ministers, those who had devoted their lives to the work of the church often serving on starvation salaries, and when they had reached the places where they were no longer active then they were thrown away. He wanted the rural preacher to have better pay and when Prof. Malone made his talk, each word went r_ht to the heart of the ministers. He is regarded as a safe leader among the laymen and has demonstrated his love for his church as well as his race. He made ASSIGNMENT OF BISHOPS. There were many laymen active in the general conference, men who were present at every session and did not spend any time in social affairs. The bishops were assigned as follows: First District, Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York and New England Conferences, Bishop W. H. Heard. Second District, Baltimore, Virginia, North Carolina and Western North Carolina Conferences, Bishop J. Albert Johnson. Third District—Ohio, North Ohio, Pittsburgh and West Virginia Conferences—Bishop Joshua H. Jones. Fourth District—Indiana, Illinois and Chicago Conferences—Bishop Levi J. Coppin. Fifth District—Missouri, North Missouri, Southwest Missouri, Kansas and Colorado Conferences—Bishop A. J. Carey. Sixth District—Georgia, North Georgia, Macon Georgia, Southwest Georgia, Atlanta, Georgia, South Georgia, Augusta, Georgia and American Georgia Conferences—Bishop J. S. Flipper.

C., five colored persons were killed and three were injured, while one white person was killed and four were injured. The injuries of the unfortunate dead and maimed ranged all the way from slight cuts to crushed chests and took their toll from both passengers and employees. A news item from Raleigh, N. C. states: "So badly smashed was the forward passenger coach, in which the fatalities occurred, that the last of the dead were not removed until four hours after the wreck." Having traveled many time in a so-called "forward passenger coach" over the same route upon which the smash-up occurred, the writer feels qualified to venture a brief description. Such coaches are usually half baggage and half Jim Crow, the latter half of which is again subdivided into a "smoker" and "non-smoker." The fatalities listed above, which were meted out through a responsibility which has not yet been fixed, beset an engineer, some firemen, some baggagemen and many Negro passengers. Not one single white passenger was a victim of the catastrophe, which, we presume, some may say, was an act of God. Whether it was an act of God, an accident, or the proximate result of some one's negligence, we may never know. But we do know that a make-shift passenger coach, one-half of which carries baggage, one-quarter of which carries colored smokers, and one-quarter of which is exclusive for colored women and colored non-smokers, passage in which is purchased at a "FIRST-RATE" price, is as rank an example of discrimination as can be found anywhere in this country. Quite naturally, the fatality list, crowded with the colored victims of discrimination, is as unequally comprised of racial victims as were the accommodations for all who rode the Seaboard train into North Carolina, with the Caucasians riding in reasonable safety and comfort and the Africans riding in jeopardy and discomfort in a baggage coach next to the engine. When, in a dissenting opinion of a high justice, before whose court the question of public rights had come, he said that public rights do at times become clothed with such a preponderance of public interest that it is of moment to all that equality is dispensed to all, an utterance of logic was set loose which contains the law and gospel of the North Carolina tragedy. The lim Crow fatality list above proves the substance of that logic. Some day, some how, the Jim Crow coach, if it must remain, will be remodelled to look like other coaches, and the baggage coach will have full space, taking off of "FIRST CLASS" passengers some of the shocks, the fatalities, and the horrors of wrecks which exact, their toll principally from the downtrodden. PETER HAS EVIDENTLY BEEN ROBBED in order to pay Paul, for just as the Methodist Episcopal Church North and the Methodist Episcopal Church South have agreed upon some tentative plan looking to a better handling of the ever-present so-called "problem" of their Negro constituents, word has come that the white Southern Baptists have told the Northern Baptists and the National Baptists that they are going to solve their Negro church "problem" in their own way; that of conferences, etc., they will have none; and that all well-wishers are to stay in their own backyards. Now, in deepest respect for the Baptist Church, and, in fact, for all churches which believe in the forgiveness of sin and the immortality of the soul, if there is any one thing that the Baptist Church believes in, it is that "ye must be born again." Hence, it is a bit difficult to visualize any groupal order of Baptists, either North or South, who would permanently turn a deaf ear to conciliation. If those who speak for the parent body insist that they have given their last full measure of devotion to a solution of those "problems" which have arisen within the confines of the Church regarding their religious "BRETHREN" of African descent, then a mere glimpse at the Negro church wards which are existing under the parent body's organization is sufficient, we think, to repel that insistence. Financial liberality is not enough. Soul harmony, we think, is what is most needed. An immersion in the virtues of brotherhood would, in our humble opinion, add to the efficacy of being born again, and a conference upon such a possibility is much desired, we think. Quite contrary to the announcement of the Baptists is the announcement that a colored woman has been elected to the National Y. W. C. A. Board, not because she is colored, but because she understands the pledged aims of that Association, and can aid the National Board in its supervision. No finer, more capable woman than Elizabeth Ross Haynes could have been elected for the Christian service which she is now called upon to perform. She understands human needs and human desires in a very definite way; (we speak from personal acquaintance with her) and while those two elements are often far, far apart, a sensible coordination between them within the Y. W. C. A., and concerning the things which it promises to accomplish is one of the crying needs of the great organization that it is. Mrs. Haynes has a wonderful opportunity for a wonderful work. We wish her well. HORACE GREELY'S FAMOUS ADVICE, to "Go West, young man," seems to have found a present-day antithesis in the silent call of New England for sturdy, honest, industrious men and women to "Come East" and swell the ranks of New England's industry and advance the perfection of her products.

Lynn and other Massachusetts cities; and, in fact, the opportunities of many New England locations, are bidding a welcome to people who can "deliver" and the skin hue of the "prospect" doesn't make a deal of difference. Half unconsciously but very perceptibly, the colored population of New England is growing by leaps and bounds, and profitable employment at good wages is not difficult to find. Good air, good water, good ground, and good treatment are enticers of many who have roving ideas, and, in most instances, when New England has been reached, the idea departs permanently. "Little Portugal" (New Bedford, Mass.) is busily absorbing a goodly supply of foreign labor, and other points are usually receptive to newcomers. To the BRETHREN, however, New England offers a new freedom seldom equalled elsewhere—a chance to develop, to grow, to live like men and women, to rear children in the wholesome atmosphere of Christianity, to school them in America's finest educational institutions, private and public; and last, but by no means least, to depart this life sustained and comforted by a faith not forcefully daunted by fear. Truly, to "Go East," if one would go somewhere, is not the least desirable route that could be chosen by a struggling human, who, if he can't be helped, doesn't want to be hindered.

C., May 29.—Albert Byrd, aged 23 years, is being held in the county jail here on a charge that may cost him his life. Byrd is alleged to have criminally assaulted an 8-year old colored girl in South Kinston more than a wee kago. Because of desperate fear of the man, the victim is said to have kept the assault a secret until last Tuesday, when her physical condition resulted in her mother learning the facts. The case was reported to the police and Byrd was immediately arrested, arraigned in police court and sent up to Superior Court without bail. It is expected that he will get a hearing in the county court in a few days. A physician's examination revealed the fact that the girl was severely, but not fatally injured. —Have the Planet delivered at your door.

(Continued from Page 1) backer of sporting enterprises as well as for the many resorts he conducted in this city and in Atlantic City for decades. At one time he was financial backer of Jack Johnson, former heavy weight champion of the world. For many years Wilkins financed in whole or in part all of the Colored baseball teams of this city. In Harlem he was a power among the colored people. His influence was particularly strong at elections. He was indifferent in politics, swinging between the Democratic and Republican parties as the mood suited or as his private interests dictated. The police said that his influence was built largely on his practice of extending a helping hand to those who required financing. Wilkins was a pioneer among the cabaret men of the city having conducted a series of such places for 40 years and finally achieving in his Exclusive Club in the Harlem a colored cabaret which attracted large numbers of white patrons and which became one of the best known cabarets in the city. His early enterprises after coming to New York from Norfolk and Washington. D. C., were downtown. For many years he conducted a resort in Thirty-fifth Street, near Eighth Avenue, which was the social headquarters of Jack Johnson. Later, Wilkins established a place in West Thirty-seventh Street. This place annoyed the police so much that it was raided scores of times. The frequent raids, however, failed to discourage Wilkins and he never closed up shop. His busi-ness acumen led Wilkins in this place to build a balcony from which patrons might view Jack Johnson being serv-ed on the floor below. KEPT OPEN DESPITE RAIDS. The Police received so many complaints about revels in the place that in July, 1910, a Supreme Court injunction was obtained by the Police as a means of closing it, numerous raids having failed of that purpose. Wilkins obtained a stay. When the injunction period expired, Wilkins said he would not seek to renew his license as he did not need it. He continued business despite many more raids. Wilkins moved to the Herlem in 1903. His brother, Leroy Wilkins, established a cabaret for colored people at Fifth Avenue and 135th Street. But while the entertainers in Barron D. Wilkins's place were colored, his patrons, to a large extent were white. He was known to colored people as "the man with the big bank roll." He made large bets on horse races and in crap games. He always denied that he paid graft to the police. His intimates said that he had often loaned money to 'Yellow Charleston.' The latter was described by the police as a gambler and a drug addict. James Samson, his colored secretary said that Wilkins's last act of charity was yesterday afternoon when he mailed a check for $25 to Sam Langford, Negro pugilist of other years. He also sent Langford an order on a downtown tailor for a suit of clothes. Langford is in New York for an operation to save him from blindness and is penniless. Wilkins's wife left yesterday afternoon for Lakewood and returned last night when notified of her husband's death. WILLIAM MILLER SURRENDERS AFTER SPENDING NIGHT PAC- ING STREETS OF JERSEY CITY. Worn from a night of pacing the streets, William Miller, a mulatto known as "Yellow Charleston," surrendered himself Sunday morning at Police headquarters and announced that he was the man who on Saturday, evening shot to death in Harlem two other Negroes, Barron D. Wilkins, cabaret owner and sporting promoter, and John Parker. The prisoner, who said he was a porter, but whom the police described as gambler, bootlegger, drug addict and possessor of a police record, said that City, afraid to sleep and walking the he spent Saturday night in Jersey streets. He said he finally decided to give himself up because he feared he might be lynched if caught by some of Wilkins's vengeance-seeking mourners. Miller said he killed Parker in a pool room at 129 West 134th Street in self-defense. When he approuached Wilkins in front of Wilkins's cabaret at Seventh Avenue and 134th Street a few minutes later he said he demanded "getaway" money and believed he should have received it because Wilkins's owed him money. Wilkins's refusal, he said, led him to shoot the cabaret manager. Miller was a dejected and weary figure when he shuffled into the Detective Bureau at headquarters and announced to Lieutenant Joseph Miller, "I guess you're looking for me. I killed Barron Wilkins last night." Captain Arthur Carey of the homicide squad and Assistant District Attorney Morgan A. Jones were called to headquarter Mr. Jones will submit the case to the Grand Jury today or tomorrow. KILLED NEGRO IN CRAP GAME. Miller said he was 42 years old and STAG SEMI-PASTE-PAINT SEMI-PASTE-PAINT SEMI-PASTE-PAINT SEMI-PASTE-PAINT RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. had lived in Harlem twenty years. He gave his address as 115 West 134th Street. He said that on Saturday evening he was playing dice with fifteen other Negroes in a poolroom at 129 West 134th Street when Parker entered and sat in the game. He said Parker became abusive after a few minutes and drew a knife. In self-defense, said Miller, he drew a pistol. He said he fired as Parker slashed at him. One shot missed. He fired another and Parker collapsed. Miller said he ran to the roof of the building and scurried over housestores to the corner at Seventh Avenue, descending to the street where he found Wilkins in front of his cabaret, the Exclusive Club in conversation with an another Negro, Benni C. Parker. He said he had $50 in his pockets but thought this would not be enough for a "getaway." He decided to appeal to Wilkins, explaining to the police that some months ago he sold Wilkins whis ky for $700 of which Wilkins still owed him $400. He said he told Wilkins he had just 'shot a man and needed the money due him for his escape. "I won't pay you any money," the prisoner quoted Wilkins. "I wasn't taking any chances," went on the prisoner. "I shot him. I'm sorry." TRIED TO SHOOT PARKER. In his furry. Miller said, he aimed at Wilkins's companion, but the pistol jammed. Miller said he jumped into a carcab, alighted from it quickly and sped into a tenement. Then he fled across roofs, throwing the pistol into an air shaft. He descended to the street, not recalling where, took a taxicab to Seond Avenue and 117th Street and boarded a surface car on which he travelled downtown. He said he wound up finally near City Hall and walked to the Hudson Terminal, taking a tube train to Jersey City. Unable to sleep and in a quandary over his plight, he walked the streets all night. In the morning he went to Weehawken. At the ferry house there, he said, he met a Negro named Perry, to whom he gave $10 to escort him, after breakfast in a nearby restaurant, to New York Police Headquarters. He said he gave himself up because he knew his house was being watched. He said he was afraid that he remained at large some of the many Negroes Wilkins had befriended would hunt him down and that he would be lynched. After telling his story, Miller became apathetic. He seemed to fall into a trance-like condition from which even the caresses of his daughters, Evelyn, 9, and Florence, 7 did not arouse him. MILLER HAS POLICE RECORD. According to the records at Police Headquarters Miller was sentenced to the penitentiary in 1997 for receiving stolen goods. In 1908 he served six months in the workhouse for warranty. On October 31, 1918, he was sentenced to Welfare Island for felonious assault in connection with the shooting of Florenza Black in Harlem. The police said he made his living by gambling and that he was known to them as a drug addict. Clement Wilkins, a brother of Barron, was shot and killed ten years ago at the spot where Barron was killed Saturday. Wilkins was buried Wednesday after noon in Mount Olivet Cemetery.

He said that he had gotten so he could not sleep at nights. He insisted that he was the gang that robbed the Norfolk Southern Express train between Norfolk and Elizabeth City of $1,000 in currency and $400 in liberty bonds in April 1921.

Great Sabbatical Jubilee Great Rally at the Virginia Theological Seminary and College June 24th 29th, 1924-All Invited to Attend Remarkable Progress. FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR RALLY In the year of our Lord 1867, the Colored Baptists of Virginia formed themselves into an organization which took the name of The Virginia Baptist State Convention. In 1917 this Convention assembled in its fifteenth anniversary and celebrated the half century of its organic life under the caption, "Golden Jubilee." This celebration under the masterly leadership of Dr. Alexander A. Galvin caused a great wake and sacred enthusiasm among Colored Baptists in particular and Kingdom inverts generally. So complete was the success and so fruitful was the effort the Convention voted to hold, a Sabbatical Jubilee at the expiration of every 7 years there after. The first Sabbatical jubilee will be held on the grounds and in the buildings of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Virginia June 24th through the 29th, 1924. A few days, and we will find ourselves assembled on this auspicious occasion. The convention proper will meet in the new auditorium of our school which seats fifteen hundred people and is scarcely excelled in beauty or quality in the state of Virginia. The women's convention will be held in the gymnasium, spacious and comfortable; the Sunday School convention will hold its session in a large tent and the R. Y. P. U. in a thirth assembly room in our great Administration Hall. This quartet of Conventions will do business for the King, and the musi of its deeds with the harmony of its activities will greatly inspire the 'lovers of the Lord and cause the very air to vibrate with the praises of God. Presidents of State Conventions the country over have been and are here by invited to be present. A whole session is set apart, for a conference of the State Convention Presidents; no President can afford to miss it. Sermons and addresses will be delivered by the ablest men of our group. The Lord is going to be there and there will be heaven in the air. Our budget for that occasion is $50,000 (fifty thousand dollars) for christian education and christian Missiones Our school alone needs this meager amount; it is costing $100,000 (one Hundred Thousand Dollars) in running expense and improvements per annum We are appealing to every church whether it is a member of the Convention or not, and every individual interested in the salvation and education of the Black Man of America, to bring or send a donation. When you see the strenuous efforts we are putting forth and the wonderful way God is blessing these humble efforts, can you afford to play "hands off" or stand idle while a few faithful ones in consecrated toil very sweat blood for this cause which is so worthy? Whether church or individual, if you can not come, mail your contribution not later than the 18th of June to President T. J. King 1805 North Fourth Street, Richmond, Va. or Correspondent Secretary M. C. A. alen A. B., Virginia Seminary, Lynchburg, Va. Any amount will be grateful received and entered on the records from $1.00 upward. Let our business and fraternal organizations help in this worthy cause. Here is the basis of our appeal: (1) The Virginia Theological Seminary and College is the only Institution of its kind in the State and several adjacent States owned operated and financed by Colored Baptists; the only expression of Colored Baptists' interest in their own salvation and education; the only effort to make a distinct contribution towards world redemption through the medium of College and Seminary training. (2.) This movement is no longer an experiment, it is already a success. Many of the ablest pastors on the field record this humble Institution as their alma-mater; thus the Trustee Board and that princely educator, President R. C. Woods have proven themselves worthy of the confidence and sacred trust of all who have in any way aided this movement or may yet do so through this and other appeals. (8.) In an effort to provide accommodation for that large number of students who are being annually turned away from our doors, the Trustee Board and administration have made a large outlay of money contracting a good heavy debt, and our creditors at the close of this session are expecting payment; and not pleas of poverty nor piles of excuses. Let us free the President from any such annoyance by bringing up our money and placing it on the altar. By the grace of God, I will meet you on Seminary Hill at nine o'clock Tuesday morning, June 24th with between $1500 (Fifteen Hundred Dollars) and $2000.00 (Two Thousand Dollars) from dear old Fifth Street.

St. Luke Bank and Trust Co. Commercial Bank and Trust Co. Second Street Savings Bank ROANOKE ITEMS. ROANOKE, VA., May 27.—The services at Mt. Zlon A. M. E. Church last Sunday were excellent. Rev. Howerton's text for the morning, was II Samuel 18:9:25. The subject was, "Running Without A Message." It was a great message full of present day applications. The offerings Sunday amounted to $99.52. Rev. Howerton is desirous that the membership title as he has been doing systematically for seven years. The men who title will discover a blessing whenever they do so in the proper spirit. This is also the candid belief and convictions of the Board of Trustees. The notes on bonded debt have been paid during the past years out of the tithers' donations—one-tenth of their earnings and we are no worse off than others who fail to tithe. It is the hope of those interested in the welfare of the church that at least two-fifths of the entire membership may join the tithing band. Those who cannot do so conscientiously, trusting the Lord as related in Malachi 3:10; make your Duplex contributions a little larger. This is the urgent request of the Trustees of Mt. Zlon A. M. E. Church at Roanoke. Presiding Elder T. W. Cotten is back from Louisville, Ky, where he spent quite a pleasant time, being one of Virginia's delegates. He brings tidings of the momentous work accomplished at the Quadrennial Mrs. Agnes Sanders was struck by an automobile at a street crossing, and sustained some serious injuries. The accident occurred last Thursday night at 10 o'clock. She was taken to Burrell Memorial Hospital, where she is improving nicely under care of Dr Powell. Mrs. Sanders is sister of Mrs. C. J. Dickerson, of 241 Tenth Avenue, N. E. and Mrs. Sadie Lash, of 237 Tenth Avenue, N. E. Mrs. Anna Jamison of Pittsburgh Pa., who has been in the city several weeks, waiting on her aunt, Mrs. Dora Holland, has concluded her stay. Mrs. Holland was suffering with a bad hand and narrowly escaped blood poisoning. she resides at 303 Seventh Avenue, N. W. Mrs. Richard Hayden, of Seventh Avenue, who has been seriously sick for a long while, is reported much improved at this writing. Mr. C. R. Burks, of Wytheville, Va. is in the city this week spending some time visiting his sister, Mr. and Junius Calvin, of 418 Tenth Avenue, N. E. The Ants Dramatic Club held their monthly meeting Tuesday evening at the residence of Mrs. Bettle Wright, Seventh Avenue. There was a May Pole Platting at Mt. Zion Baptist Church Tuesday night, May 27, where many enjoyed this entertainment of springtime. The funeral services of Mrs. Lucy J. Day, of Eighth Avenue, N. E. took place last Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. She departed this life on May 18, at 11:15. Born 48 years ago in Louisa County. Rev. William Moore and Kent Smith, assisted by the choir of the High Street Baptist Church, conducted the devotionals. Rev. W. E. Lee delivered a most touching eulogy on the life of this faithful Christian woman, whose place cannot be easily filled in the Church, Sunday School, in society, in the home and in the community. His text was, "My grace is sufficient for you." Mrs. Day had lost her eyesight, but her Christian fortitude caused her to bear her affliction bravely. As the end approached she told those about her that all was right, and as she caught a clearer view of the future she called old friends to her bed and admonished them to settle all differences of past days if they would see Jesus. She leaves to mourn their loss, a devoted husband two sisters, two brothers and a host of friends, in whose hearts her memory will long live because of the noble characteristics of this great woman, whose life has been an inspiration to all who knew her.

MCKEES ROCKS MAN AQQUITTEI OF MURDER CHARGE, (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH Pa., May 22—Abe Atkins, of McKees Rocks was acquitted in Criminal Court last Thursday of a charge of murder growing out of a fight last December 24th, when a billiard cue said to have been thrown by Atkins struck and killed Earl Curry. Atkins was the proprietor of a pool room in which Curry was playing pool. When Curry tore a hole in the cloth of a pool table, an argument followed in which both men are said to have welded cues as weapons. The jury held that Atkins acted in self-defense when he struck Curry. VIRGIN ISLAND SCHOOLS GAIN UNDER U. S. TENUER. (Preston News Service) NEW YORK, May 22.—The provision made by the United States to educate the children of the Virgin Islands is shown in a report recently made by the Department of Education of the Islands, outlining the activities of the Department. In the last year (1916 d7) of Danish rule the educational budget was $16,982; in 1917-18 the year in which the islands were taken over by United States, it was $19,506 and 12 1923-24; $104,282 was provided. Enrollment of pupils in this period has increased from 2,455 to 2,947. The average daily attendance in 1922-23, 98.42 per cent, believed to be the highest for the number of pupils enrolled to be found anywhere under the American flag. According to the report, the public school system of the Virgin Islands is the best in the West Indies and certainly compares favorably with the southern public school systems of the United States. The school equipment is said to be ample and adequate; the buildings are roomy, well ventilated and well cared for; the teachers are competent and of gleasing appearance, and the pupils on the whole are well-dressed, appear well advanced in their work and no sign of malnutrition was in evidence among them. There are twenty-nine schools on the island divided as follows: public 17; private 8; parochial, 4. Courses in sewing, cooking and wood working are offered in the public schools and much emphasis is being placed upon the mechanical arts, home economics and practical agriculture. Agriculture is now being taught for the first time and the results are said to be gratifying. Music is a prescribed subject in all the FIVE Knights of Pythias of N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A.

School orchestras have been organized in the three junior high schools, the instruments having been donated by the American Red Cross. The entire course in musical in struction is under the supervision of a bandmaster of the United States Navy and seven competent instructors. There are 107 teachers in the entire school system and of these 101 or 94 per seat are Negroes. . The school nursing service, which was established three years ago, has developed into one of the most important features of the school program. More than 10,000 treatments have been given to the children by the nurses each year. A school health centre is maintained in each of the three towns. Due to the splendid cooperation of the Navy doctors connected with the department of health, physical defects found are immediately treated and physical examinations are conducted SIX—Robinson each year for the school children. These examinations are thorough, and compare favorably with those given to recruits. A municipal denist is employed in each health centre, who gives free dental treatment to all school chil dren. A marked improvement in the condition of teeth has been revealed by the comparison of defects found in the yearly examinations. OLD HOME REUNION AT WHITE OAK GROVE, VA. SCHEDULED. Children, Parents, and Friends Are Be ing Urged to Return August 20th to Hallfax Co. Va. Probably, the largest event in the life and history of White Oak Grove, Halifax County, Virginia, is scheduled for August 20th in the form of an "Old Home Reunion." Children from New York New Jersey Delaware, Ohio, West Virginia, Massa chuseta Michigan, Missouri, Kansas and California have already sent in word that they were coming. This and adjacent cities have relatives of these good people of White Oak Grove, who, if this article is seen by them would do the old folks at home a real service if they would communicate with their relatives. A one week's program is being arranged in which the colored and whites of that community have promised to take part. A movement is on foot to have the Governor of Virginia and the State Su perintendent of Public Schools to address the reunion. It is also believed that the committee on Inter-racial Re lationship will take part. A special train from New York and New Jersey is being arranged for and no doubt the occasion will make history. 101 E. Clay 407 W. Leigh VISIT MALLORY'S MARKET, Inc.

Cooper THERE WILL BE NO GARDNER- SAUNDERS FIGHT SOON. NEW YORK, May 29—(P. N. S.) —Although a number of the colored sport writers in Gotham have been pulling for a fight for the colored lightweight championship of the world between Buddy Saunders of the National Guard, and Johnny Gardner, the Philadelphian, we think we can say with authority, such a match is not in the making. While it is true that Gardner suffered a terrific beating at the hands of Johnny Reisler in his last fight, still he has the record of three straight victories at the Commonwealth—two by the knockout route—and is slated to be started again on May 31st with some good white boy. But in the case of Saunders it is different. Somebody close to the McMahons gave us an opinion that Buddy hasn't any "color" when it comes to appealing to the fans and on his showing the last time he appeared at the Commonwealth he failed to impress, the customers, thereby forcing the McMahons to conclude that Buddy is not a drawing card. Personally we would like to see the fight take place as both of the boys are anxious to meet and if appended to some sensational star bout their coming on in the preliminary would find as good a house as any other two in the first star twelve. --- KEARNS SAYS DEMPSY NOT SIDE-STEPPING HARRY WILLS LOS ANGELES, May 28.—(P.

"First come, first served, is our policy, and Dempsey is willing and ready to meet anyone," Kearns declared. 1SAM LANGFORD SOBS AS HIS SIGHT RETURNS. NEW YORK, May 31—(P. N. S.) Sam Langford walked out of an eye specialist's office from the "dark room" Friday after a three-quarter hour examination and preliminary treatment of his right eye and standing on the top step of the doctor's stoop, pointed across the street and fairly yelled: "Doctor, I can see there's a yellow taxicab—I can see—I can see for the first time in seven years." Tears rolled down over Langford's swarthy cheeks as he stood blinking in the sun with the one eye this specialist says he can save. Langford will never have the use of his left eye. That was determined after a careful examination. It is sightless for all time. No operation was performed and this will not be done until Langford goes Gained distinction in Football, Baseball and Basketball. Football and Baseball. Baseball Captain Elect—Football.

Coles, Jr., 26, Track Captain-Elect; Presentation of Gold Basketballs to Intercollegiate Championship Team Winds Up Season at Hampton. (By P. Bernard Young, Jr.) HAMPTON, Va. May 29.-She breaks of the weather were all against the "Seasiders" today. With everyone expecting Hampton to wind up her athletic season with a win over Shaw, the heavens opened up and the rain fell, and the game was washed out during the last half of the second frame with Hampton at bat and leading by one run, the only run made in the part of the game that had been played. The rain came down half an hour before the time for the game and then went away, only to return and re move all hope of playing the contest that was to have wound up the season for the Hamptonians. Hampton scored one talk in her half f the first chapter. Captain Jack son reached first on the right fielder's error. Jacobs was thrown out on a bunt, while Jackson advanced to second, stole third and came home on Gunn's single to score the only run in the short battle. Some of Hampton's team will be lost through graduation. Those men she will remember as having done their best for their Alma Mater. Those who remain are confident of forging to the front next year and having a team that will make opposing teams fight for victories. TRACK CAPTAIN ELECTED. Following the great victory of Hampton Institute in the third annual Hampton Track and Field Meet all of THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ATHLETIC PAGE They all want to know the approximate amount of the assets to re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank. The amount is stated in the following extract from the decree signed by the able Judge of the Richmond Chancery Court- But how much more is needed? The Receivers assert that they cannot determine this amount until all the pass-books of the depositors have been turned in and balanced. To meet this condition the depositors, in meeting assembled, by unanimous vote, decided to share in any liability in excess of the amount already ascertained. This relieves the situation and enables the Receivers to strike a balance and submit the same to the Court with such a recommendation as may, in their judgment be fair to the people whom they represent. This then will necessarily end the delay as the Receivers have been unofficially reported to be in favor of re-opening the Bank and willing to do all in their power to help the colored people of this community. The issue is plain. Personal feeling and animosities should not figure in this matter. Let us re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank in order that those depositors who are urgently in need of some of their money may be able to get it and those who wish to deposit their savings may be permitted so to do. The depositors stand pledged not to make any run on the Bank Other issues and conditions can be met as they are presented The primary purpose at this time is to do business again. Let us ascertain the approximate amount of liability, put up the assets necessary and with the aid and support of the good white people and the self-sacrificing colored ones, backed by an abiding faith in the Almighty God, let us re-open the Bank. the fleet athletes who won letters met in the Hampton Institute Gymnasium and elected Robert A. Coles, Jr. Phoebus, Va. Class of 1926, as captain-elect for the season of 1925. Coles was Hampton's highest point scorer of the year and one of her most dependable and outstanding athletes. His election comes as a reward for his ability to win the mile event at the Howard and Hampton meets, and for placing second in the two-mile at Howard and winning it in record time at Hampton. Great things are expected of him next year. Captain Langston of this season team is expected back in school next year and, along with the other athletes, is expected to perform just as brilliantly as this year. GOLD BASKETBALLS PRESENTED Hampton's basketball team led by Juntius T. Langson, Whaleyville, Va., was presented with gold basketball at the chapel services during the week by William Anthony Aery in behalf of Charles H. Williams.

Hampton won the championship by hard fighting and with the prospects for next season she will make a strong bid for the honors again. PAUL ROBESON WILL PLAY IN RUTGERS' ALUMNI GAME. (Preston News Service) NEW BRUNSWICK, May 29.—The game between Rufgers alumni and the varsity base ball teams is expected to be one of the most interesting events of the commencement week, as it will be played on Commencement Day, June 14. It will be held in the afternoon at 3 o'clock, and a large crowd of alumni and relatives of the graduating students have signified their intentions to be on hand. The alumni team will be made up of former stars who have kept playing in regular competition. Among their num ber will probably be Walter French, the great football and baseball star who transferred from Rutgers to West Point and was a sensation with the army. Another who will play for the old grads is Paul Robeson, the great athlete, fourletter man and Phi Beta Kappa man, now an actor prominent in New York through his portraital of various characters in Eugene O'Neill's plays. Robeson is a great favorite at the institution and it is said that his presence will be cause for a large crowd. The alumni team won the last contest with the varsity and plan to make it two straight. The game will probably be hard and exciting as both teams are on edge for the contest.

EIGHT STAY ON THE SHIP (Continued from Page 1) Stay with God Almighty. Let men say, what they will, you stay with God Almighty. They may abuse you in the day, Tell God about it at night. If this Mt. Moriah will see to that you stay and trust God, you will be a beacon light and no one need be afraid. REWARD IS GREAT. 'Success is yours,' the reward is great. Like Noah's Ark, she is strong ample and sea-worthy, nothing shoddy about her, cost a lot to build her. I don't know of any ship constructed as great a cost as the Old Ship of Zion. She was docked in heaven, angels around her and arch-angels attended her. The keel was laid around the throne of God—keel laid in heaven, formed and fashioned by God Almighty the great Architect. He pushed her off Himself. She rolled down through all ages, not a mast broken, and not a sail torn. She has never been on the rocks, never been upon the shore. MANY THOUSANDS LANDED. "She has landed many thousands and will land as many more. She unloads her cargo and goes back and gets another. What is the Old Ship of Zion? I mean the Church. You know they lay a piece out full length of the ship and then they lay the keel. This ship was laid more than two thousand years ago. This church is named Mt. Morlah. Here you are. a rib of the old ship. Jesus Christ shows how much it cost Him to build the Old Ship of Zion. It cost Him His life. It cost heaven more than the creation of the world. That was to establish the Old Ship of Zion as the battle ship of God. THE SPIRIT OF GOD "The spirit of God will see to it that you will be saved, for you are His all ready. I give you the seed as His inheritance. The Old Ship of Zion snail bring in its inhabitants freely. They some stowaways on a ship. They just stay on the ship until they get in to port. All sinners are hobbes in the coal-bunkers. They come stealing a ride, but the King knows they are there. He puts on them clean garments. He sends them back there, telling them to go back and do the scrubbing and He'll give them a home too. The crew is experienced. They know about handling the ship. NO MUTINY WANTED "Young men, be at peace. Do not start any insurrection. You get together and agree. Do not have any mutiny. If any mutiny, gets among the crew, the ship will be lost. Stay on board. I've been dealing with the hobos. I don't like to do that for there are so many people, who just want to know that God's going to save them. They will make Him do it. You are going to hell by doing that. There are people, who serve the devil all the time and then run at the close of their lives and ask God to save them. TAKE NO CHANCE. "You had better not take that chance hell is likely to be your home. When I was a sinner, I used to say my prayers. I thank you God for keeping me today. I hope that you will keep me tonight. I alnt saying that I am going to do tomorrow. Don't take advantage of that, God had taken possession of me. I say to the devil I belong to Jesus Christ. You haven't got anything to do with me. If the devil run up on me I say I belong to Jesus. Don't you dare lay your hands on me. The devil kinder gets back because I belong to some body. A SHIP HOBQ "I have no idea of getting off the ship. I've been a hobo on the other ship all the time, I've never belonged to the devil. I am knocking around the ship. I attended the Sunday School I paid my money. I stood up for Jesus. I have never been a pirate I've been around there. I heard the waves splashing. I was waiting for somebody else to look after the ship. The day came when they opened the bunk and I was scared. I met me up and sent me back to work and scrub and wash up the ship and here I am. STOOD EVERY STORM "There are others, who have stood every storm. Leo X and Gregory and Alexander. This was an age when they cut off eye-ldens, crushed their victim's teeth, put them in the river until the water arose and drowned them. I am telling Jesus Christ to ride on. Stance out in the water and let the tide arise. Let them say and do what they please. I'll stay out in the river and let the tide rise. I'll put my trust in the Lord. I am told that two girls were put out and the tide was rising. Let the Saviour save you. They held their heads back. Ride on! Ride on! Tender women, tender young girls. Ride on King. A writer says, 'I saw a bird in the shape of a dove circle around them and as they fell back in the water, it took an upward flight.' DID NOT DIE .Brother Peyton, didn't they die? No. They went into the kingdom of God, where there would be no more row, no more tribulation, no more suffering Easier to keep the devil out than to take him in. I got put into the station-house at Washington one night. I was sitting there looking at the door. I thought of Paul and Silas. God, you took Paul and Silas out of jail, deliver me. The door opened the officer said, 'a man is here and I walked out.' You want to trust in God. Do you want anything? Ask God for it, and trust that you will get it. Keep on asking for it Keep it in your mind and bye and bye will come to you a certain thought that you won't get and never will get it. That's a lie. That's the devil. He will take your mind and set it on something else. WAIT ON THE LORD. "Wait on the Lord. Push yourself aside and keep your eyes on God. I am talking about being a real Christian. I know some of you have good religion and some others have something mixed with your religion. Love your neighbor as myself. If you get knocked in the head, you'll go so quickly, you'll wake up in heaven. Some people don't pray for fear they'll go crazy. People go crazy from not praying. We are all on our voyage to heaven or hell. Heaven is up yonder; hell is down yonder. Some people say they don't know where heaven is. I don't know that I know where it is.
