NATIONAL DRIVE FOR JUSTICE
(A. N. P. Service)
Chicago, Sept. 10.—Wednesday, September 22, has been set down as a day when there will be a "National Drive for Justice." It will be celebrated throughout the country, and will be the greatest effort for equal opportunity ever put forth in the history of the race. The people have come to the parting of the ways. They have reached a decision that lynching in the United States must be stopped, and that all citizens should have equal rights before the law. They are determined to impress the importance of these facts on the minds of the American people, and they have selected September 22nd, commonly known as "Emancipation Day," for the time to present their claims. Already throughout the country, not only among the Colored people, but the whites as well, there is a great stir of interest. The Colored people are aroused and enthusiastic, because of their anxiety to bring about better living conditions. The white people are aroused because never before in the history of the nation has there been such a universal desire to give encouragement to the claims of the Negro, because of the desire to do what is known to be right. Every race newspaper throughout the country is heralding the event with flame heads and bold type. Daily newspapers are supporting the plans in a manner that is amazing for their fairness. People are saying: "I have never seen anything like it in my life. Surely a better day is coming for all." The speakers who will address these various gatherings are men and women of national reputation. Some of them for more than two score years have been fighting the battles of the race, and they say that with the conclusion of this day, history will be made. Younger men, prominent in the business world, "The New Negro," who have made for them selfs a new place in the field of success, are setting aside their business interests to give universal attention to the day.
PATROLMAN FRENCH RESIGNS
Chicago, Sept. 10.—Policeman Martin V. French, the oldest colored patrolman on the Chicago force, has resigned. He has been a member of the department for thirty-seven years. He leaves a perfect record and at the time of his resignation was attached to the Cottage Grove avenue station.
COLORED WOMEN ORGANIZE FOR BUSINESS.
New York, Sept. 10.—Several hundred Colored women organized under the name of the Women's National Fraternal Business Association, are launching a campaign to raise $250,000 for a headquarters and clubhouse. The association has been incorporated to aid colored women and children.
INTER-RACIAL HARMONY SOUGHT.
(A. N. P. Service)
(A. N. P. Service)
New York, Sept. 10.—Belief that the race riots between Negroes and whites can be avoided has led several prominent social workers of the country to form a society for the promotion of harmony between the two races. The committee for the reconciliation of the races is not in favor of the isolation of any race. It has gone on record as being opposed to the resolution passed by the convention held recently in Madison Square Garden calling upon all Negroes to emigrate to Africa. Fenton C. Johnson, the Negro poet, speaking for the committee, explained that such a movement would only result less for both races.
in a loss for both the
"The Negro is an essential
economic element in the welfare
of America," he said. "The only solu-
tion of the present problem is for
the blacks and whites to know each
other better. That is the purpose of
this committee."
DEPARTED LEADER'S VOICE
PRESERVED.
(A. N. P. Service)
Chicago, Sept. 10.—The voice of Booker T. Washington is to be heard again through the courtesy of his younger son, E. David Washington. About eight years ago, Dr. Washington, at the request of an official of the Columbia Graphophone Company, had a record made of his famous Atlanta speech, the speech which brought him into world-wide fame. Only one record was made for Dr. Washington, and since his death it has been in possession of his younger son Davidson. Young
THE TULSA STAR
Washington treasured it more than any other possession, because it was his father's voice. After repeated persuasion he has consented to have additional records of the speech made an ddistribute them among the friends of his father.
REPUBLICANS PUTTING
WAR PAINT.
(A. N. P. Service)
Chicago, Sept. 10. -During the week, presentations from more than a score of the states which the consensus of opinion terms "fighting ground," have been in Chicago at the National Republican headquarters in conference with the leaders who are guiding the affairs of the Republican national committee.
The representatives came from the states of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, West Virginia, Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and other states. They all reported enthusiasm in behalf of the election of the Republican ticket.
An advisory committee has been selected made up of representatives from the various states, and their duty will be to consult with the managers and keep the National headquarters informed on the sentiment in their communities.
MOTON'S PLEA FOR NEGRO
PRESS
A N P.
Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 10.—An earnest plea for the support of Negro newspapers in America was made by Dr. Robert R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute, in an address delivered before the National Negro Business League at Philadelphia. He said in part:
"We must make up our minds pretty clearly that we have to stand behind our newspapers. These publications have fought our battles for right and justice, and they have rarely omitted an act or overlooked an opportunity directed toward co-operation in business or among business men
"They have urged our people to support Negro business enterprises and have pointed out that the indispensable road to progress is the opening of business avenues for the young men and young women of our race. No group among our people has been more persistent, more patient, more far sighted, more self-sacrificing than have the publishers of our newspapers.
"There should be at least one Negro newspaper in every Negro home of this country. Without such public support, our newspapers cannot expand or render the services we expect of them. Besides subscriptions, Negro business must advertise in Negro papers. Advertising makes business, both for the advertiser and for the newspaper. The benefits are mutual; the co-operation should be mutual.
"Negro newspapers have given a most loyal support to the government in all its publicity work in connection with the war program, and from a purely commercial angle, they have demonstrated that they can carry a message in an effective way to the twelve million negroes of this country."
FIRST COLORED BOYS' CAMP.
(A. N. P. Service.)
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 10.—The first colored boys' camp ever held near Atlanta has closed. Twenty-nine boys from the colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. attended the two weeks' camp. William J.

TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1920
National Baptist Convention
PRES JONES ADDRESS
Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 10.—(Reciprocal News Service)—Beneath a massive flag, representing Old Glory, standing between pyramids of ferns and palms, Edward P. Jones, the president of the National Baptist Convention, delivered his annual address tonight in the presence of the brain of the greatest denomination among the Negroes in the United States. Recognized already as a forceful, logical speaker and being at the head of more than two and a half million constituents who have lionized him for the past five years, he out-shone himself. He passed his most brilliant star. He eclipsed himself in eloquence and covered himself in glory in the presence of his brethren by the wide scope of the matters touched upon in his address, and yet treating each with such a masterly mind that he convinced his hearers that he was the right man in the right place, discussing problems and offering solutions that would meet the approval of the sages of the time. When President Jones arose and addressed the vice-president at large of the National Baptist Convention after the chorus had sung one of the old plantation lodges, the massive audience stood and he was given the Chautauqua salute. Throughout the address he covered various phases of his denominational life, referring only slightly to those things that he declared had attempted to disrupt, beset or break asunder the bonds of unity among the Baptists of the world. He divided his address into topics. The first one discussed was the recent law-suit. He went into this without any show of feeling, or any influence that would lead one to feel that there was malice in his heart. He offered the olive branch to those, as he termed it, "erring brethren who had gotten out of the fold of the great Baptist family." He pointed an index finger to the time when all would be peace and harmony and then he took up the constructive era and injected ideas that he figured or concluded would serve as a beacon light to the great Baptist forces. He then touched upon the Inter Church World Movement, telling how the Unincorporated Baptists had used foresight, not due as he claimed, to any divine information, but because they had clung to Baptist tenets. He paid a beautiful and glowing tribute to the work of the National Baptist Publishing Board under the leadership of Drs. C. H. Clark and R. H. Boyd, and then another to the Sunday School Congress that has been kept before the world by the untiring efforts of Henry Allen Boyd, the secretary. He paid special attention to the Foreign Mission Board under Drs. Kemp and Frank, to the Educational Board under Drs. Prince and C. J. W. Boyd, and those interested in the national training. The work of the Home Mission Board was given special attention and emphasis was put upon the zeal that had been put into the work by the field secretary S. J. Dixon, backed up by J. P. Robinson, the chairman, and J. S. Laidle, the secretary. And then he passed on to the B. Y. P. U. Board under Drs. Drake and Prince, the Educational Board, under Drs. A. A. Banks and D. P. Jones, not failing to mention the Church Extension and the Temperance Boards. Then he told of some of the needs by discussing a National Baptist Aged Ministers' Home, and like the sage of his time, he swept his audience with him into a twenty-five million dollar campaign, and with an argument that was convincing he showed how this was a small sum for the great denomination. He closed his address with four recommendations for an aged ministers' home; an other asking the convention to urge its messengers to co-operate in compiling the statistics; he advocated proper memorial to the deceased treasurer, John F. Thomas, and has the setting apart of a Union-Revival day, for the greatest denominations, publication, as he styled it, set out by the race. Throughout the evening while the president was making his address thousands cheer him.
DAVIS HOLDS HIGHEST ARMY
RANK.
A. N. P.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 10.—Lieut. C. Benjamin O. Davis, a colored citizen of the District of Columbia, holds the highest rank of any man of his race on the active list of the army of the United States. Col. Charles Young, also colored, who was graduated from the United States Military Academy, was retired several months ago on account of disability. He was the only colored man who ever reached the grade of colonel in the army. Although retired, he is still on duty as military attache at the United States legation, Monrovia, Liberia.
Col. Davis was born in this city, studied in the Mott school and was graduated from the colored high school. He began his military career as a first lieutenant in the United States volunteer infantry in July, 1898, and was honorably mustered out in March, 1899. He then enlisted in the 9th Regular Cavalry and in two years was successively promoted to corporal and squadron sergeant-major. As a result of a competitive examination open to enlisted men, he was appointed second lieutenant, 10th United States Cavalry, in February, 1901. Since then he has served with either the 9th of 10th Cavalry regiments in campaigns in the Philippines and on the Mexican border, except for a short detail as inspector instructor of the 1st Separate Batallion of the District National Guard. He reached the grade of captain in December, 1915 a temporary major in August, 1917 and a lieutenant-colonel in the National Army in May, 1918. A few days ago he was appointed lieutenant-colonel of Cavalry. He is now at his home, at 1830 11th street, or leave of absence, having just returned from a tour of duty in the Philippines. He has been detailed as professor of military science and tactics at the Tuskegee Institute Alabama, and will go there in a few days.
MAYOR SUPPORTS BATHING
PAVILION.
St. Petersburg, Fla., Sept. 10.—When he heard that residents were preparing to file an injunction to prevent the city building the proposed bathing pavilion for Negroes on the water front, Mayor Noel A. Mitchell said that it may take two injunctions to prevent the city from building this bathing pavilion.
building
"They have not a legal leg to stand on as the Negro bathing beach is a half mile from the nearest home and cannot injure the residents there in any way." He added, "if any one needs to take a bath after a hard day's work it is the Negro population. The negroes heretofore have not had a bathing beach and we should provide them one."
TURNER OPPOSES T. B. MAR
PIAGES
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 10.—The annual convention of the National Medical Association held here was one of the most beneficial of the most successful in the history of the organization. Dr. John P. Turner, the new president of the organization, said:
organization, said.
"We have a membership of about 2,000, including physicians, dentists and pharmacists from every state in the Union, and it is the largest and most intellectual organization of Negroes in the world. All are graduates of various colleges in this country, and a number have studied in the great European universities.
the great leap "I am proud to be honored with the presidency, and during my term I shall advocate the enactment of federal legislation to prevent the marriage of tubercular persons and others suffering with those diseases that have long ravaged the human "
race. Doctor Turner has been on the staff of the Douglass Memorial hospital for fifteen years and a medical examiner in the public schools of Philadelphia for nine years, and has one of the largest practices among the physicians of his race.
among the next session of the associatio will be held in Louisville.
OKLAHOMA NEGRO STATE FAIR

skies. Excursions will be run from all sections of the state, and it is expected that the attendance will break all records. Unusual preparations are being made for exhibitions of the products of the race, and this feature alone will attract thousands. Wewoka is one of the most beautiful sections of Oklahoma, and J. Coody Johnson one of the wealthiest and most progressive men in the entire country.
FOREIGN IMMIGRATION IN CREASES.
Hope to Stop Negro Migration to the North.
A. N. P.
Chicago, Sept. 10.—Immigration figures for the month of August disclose the fact that foreigners are now coming into the United States at the rate of more than 20,000 per month, or 1,000,000 a year. This great influx is on, despite the pressing conditions in Europe, where manions are needed to help rebuild the power is at the minimum, and mil-countries destroyed by the war. Reports are also being circulated in various parts of the south to the effect that 200,000 Mexicans are be imported into various southern states in order to take care of the farm work and other industrial needs brought on by the marvelous influx of negroes into northern states. Leaders, organizations and government departments, having in charge the economic welfare of the country, are studying with great interest the various phases of these new movements. Every encouragement is being given, it seems, to immigration, despite the recent immigration laws passed by congress. Some go so far as to say that the underlying motive is to open up labor conditions in order to throw thousands of Negroes out of employment in the north, so that they will return to the south.
If there is any such motive, it is not believed that it will succeed, however. Careful investigation by the Associated Negro Press in every section of the north to which the race has migrated, discloses the fact that more than ninety per cent of the employers are entirely satisfied with Negro labor. They give among the reasons for satisfaction the following: The Colored employees are 100 per cent American; they speak our language and no interpreter is required; they do not seek to foment strife and strikes; they are hard and faithful workers, and the majority of them are saving their money and buying homes.
buying
On the other hand, it is pointed out that it is necessary for every member of the race to be on guard for his own betterment. After all, it is stated, employment is economic and not sentimental. Regardless of how sympathetic employers may be, efficiency is the watchword, and if employees do not measure up, there is but one thing left to do, make a change.
NATIONAL OILERS HOLD MEETING.
Spartanburg, S. C., Sept. 10.—Several hundred delegates attended the convention of the Southeastern Connection of t chInternational Brotherhood of Oilers and Firemen, held here. Much attention was given to the plan of enforcing proper working conditions.
PRESS AND PULPIT UNITE.
Chicago, Sept. 10.—Rev. Dr. H. E. Stewart, pastor of Quinn Chapel A. M. E. church, one of the largest in the city, conducted a series of special meetings during the month of August, to create interest in church attendance. On the last Sunday night the services were turned over to the newspaper men of the city for the purpose of establishing closer relations between pulpit and press. W. C. Linton, editor of the Chicago Whip, acted as chairman, and the principal addresses were made by Naum Daniel Brascher, editor in chief of the Associated Negro Press, and B. W. Fits, editor of the Chicago Searchlight, who started the vice crusade on the South Side, which has been taken up by all newspapers including daily, and legal authorities.
MRS EUROPE GETS DECISION
New York, Sept. 10.—The courts have decided that Mrs. James Reese Europe, widow of the late lieutenant-bandmaster who was stabbed to death by one of the drummers in his business in Boston, is entitled to compensation under the state compensation act. It was stated that the deceased lost his life while in discharge of his duties of making a livelihood.

OKMULGEE BOOSTERS HERE.
Eighteen cars filled with enthusiastic Okmulguee boosters struck Greenwood street last Monday afternoon at about two-thirty. The party was made up of representative business men of Okmulguee who were on a tour of getting acquainted with the people of neighboring cities with a view of bettering trade. The Tulsa business men had made preparations for the entertainment of the visitors and gave them an enjoyable spread of eatables at Masonic hall. The Okmulguee boosters had made the trip from Beggs in the rain but their enthusiasm had not been dulled by that experience. They returned home, leaving Tulsa about 6 p. m.

LAPSE.
Editor A. J. Smitherman of the Tulsa Star, who made a brave attempt to get back on the job last week, suffered a relapse, and in obedience to the orders of his physician has returned to Claremore for complete rest.
COMPEL WHITE MAN TO PAY
FOR SHINE.
St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 10.—A white man went into a colored shoe shining parlor and asked for a shine. After having his shoes shined he stepped down from the chair and walked out of the parlor. The boot-black, however, was just quick enough to catch him by the arm and demand his pay. Replying that the work was not well done, the white man started off again. The colored man called a friend of his and the two compelled the man to pay for the work.
LABOR DAY PARADE.
St. Louis, Sept. 10.—St. Louis expected one of its largest Labor Day parades for many years on last Monday. The parade was several blocks long and was made up of white and colored of nearly every line of labor in the city. The white organizations made up the front and rear ends while the colored brought up the center of the parade. Each organization had its own band. This should put a muffler on the mouth of those who say the north is not a favorable place for the Negro.
AGED NEGRO KILLED
St. Louis, Ho., Sept. 10.—Charles Martin, 72 years old and employed by the United Railways company here, was hit by an automobile driven by a white man and dragged seventy-five feet last Tuesday evening about eleven o'clock. The driver is being held charged with murder.

OKLAHOMA MUSIC EXHIBIT
WINS ENCONIUMS
(Star News Service.)
New York, Sept. 9th.—The progress attained by the pupils of the Colored Public Schools of Oklahoma in the art of music was signally manifested and recognized during the notable session of the National Association of Negro Musicians which convened in this city during July. This association which has membership in every music center of the country, has for its purpose the fostering and encouragement of music talent in the race, and the promotion of economic and educational training as well. The president of the association is Henry L. Grant of Washington, D. C., who is nationally known in music circles of America. During the session one of the features which attracted unusual interest was the exhibits in the Public School Music department. Commenting thereon, Musical America, one of the leading white journals of this city, said: "An interesting exhibit of the works of Negro pupils was sent from the Manual Training High, the Dunbar, Douglas and Langston Schools, from Muskogee, Okla., and was under the direction of Mrs. Leanna C. Clark the music supervisor of the latter city."

THE TULSA STAR. Saturday. September 11. 1920
THE WORLD HAS ENDED AND MILLIONS NOW WALKING ABOUT UPON EARTH WILL NEVER GO INTO THE GRAVE.
Lisen, Dear People of the Public, I am reliably informed that some of the would-be-wise ministers have told their congregations that my writings on Bible subjects do not amount to anything but that they will answer them every Sunday from their pulpits.
Now listen again, if these writings do not amount to anything, why take the time to answer them? Andagain, why do they not accept my challenge and call me on the carpet before the public and show me up through the -scriptures?
They attempt to answer my writings by attacking them from their own private pulpits behind my back is just like a man who would lay in the bushes and assassinate an opponent if perchance he could keep from being caught.
In order that you, dear people, may know that I am in great earnest and desire to enlighten you, concerning God's plan of Salvation, I wish it understood that while I am a poor man and look to God to open the way for my living, while this side of the vale, will pay all necessary expenses any where in the state of Oklahoma to secure a proper public place for my opponents to meet me before the public and clear themselves, through the Scriptures of the charges that I have made and are making against them.
Dear people, you should inform these ministers that there must be something wrong with their teachings as a reason that will not defend themselves before my face and the public.
Remember the place, 618 East Archer street, Masonic Hall, 3:00 P.M. sharp every first and third Sun- RICHARD J. HILL
WORLD ENDED
(Continued from Last Week)
For many centuries sickness, sorrow, suffering and death have afflicted the human race. But there has been just enough joy mixed with the sorrows of life to create a longing desire for Life-everlasting. And if that Life-everlasting could be accomplished by perfection and happiness man would be satisfied. Recognizing Jehovah as the great first cause, whose attributes are wisdom, justice, love and power, and who is the Creator of man, it seems entirely reasonable that having permitted man, to so long and desire the blessings of Life-everlasting, his wisdom and love would lead him to make provision for the gratification of that desire. But reason or theorizing alone would not lead us to a satisfactory conclusion, nor has man been left to rely merely upon these. Jehovah has graciously provided a record, written by holy men of old and by his inspired witnesses, which discloses that God has a great plan which he has caused to develop in an orderly and majestic manner. In this record, the Bible, we find the testimony concerning man's origin, his course, the reason for his sickness, sorrow, suffering and death, and what the future holds for him.
The Bible has never been wholly and completely understood, but according to the standard therein the light has shone brighter and brighter as the centuries have rolled by, and the promise is made that far greater light would be shed upon the Bible's pages in the close of the Gospel Age. When the Prophet Daniel recorded a brief history of the world long before these events transpired, Jehovah told him to close up the prophecy and seal the words, so that they could not be understood, until the time of the end. The inference must be reached that when that time of the end occurs the Bible would be better understood.
If in this hour of distress and great perplexity upon the human race we can find a consoling message that will bind up the broken-hearted and comfort those that mourn then with gladness we should embrace this message and be eager to transmit it to others, that they, too, may rejoice. This article is being written for the purpose of showing that the time is here to understand the Bible; that we are in the time of the end; that the old order is perishing from the earth; that the new order is coming in; that restitution blessings will soon be offered to the world and then men who obey the righteous laws of Jehovah will never die. In the examination of this subject we must apply the prophetic evidences in the places where they belong. The Scriptures admonish us: "Study to show thy self approved unto God," "A workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2d Timothy 2:15). The Scriptures that applied at one stage of the world's history may have no application now, and vice versa. Such was recognized by the New Testament writers, and particularly the Lord Jesus himself.
For nearly nineteen centuries students of divine prophecy have expected and looked for the world to end, because Jesus taught that it would end. Many Christian men, however, failing to recognize the distinction between the symbolic and literal phrases of the Bible, have been confused concerning the end of the world. For instance, the great John Calvin taught that when the world comes to an end Jesus would reappear in the air near the earth and would cause fire to be emitted from the clouds, and set the earth on fire and totally destroy the world and everything on it.

Reason would lead us to the conclusion that Jehovah would not create a wonderful earth like this, permit men to bring it to a high state of cultivation in many places, and then completely destroy it. Such is wholly out of harmony with his character. Such a thought is also wholly out of harmony with the plain teachings of his word, which says: "The earth abideth forever." (Ecc. 1:4.) "For thus saith the Lord, that formed the Heavens: God himself that formed the earth and made it; He that established it; he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited." Isa. 45:18.) When the Bible speaks of the world ending it does not mean the literal earth, but it does refer to an epoch or dispensation of time during which a certain arrangement of things or social order exists. In 'proof of this the Scriptures disclose that there was a world which existed from the time of Eden until the Great Flood; "Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, persisted." (2 Peter 3:6.) At the end of the Flood a New World began, and the promise is made by the same Scriptural writer that it (the second world in which we now live) shall end. The period of that world is from the Flood until the coming of Messiah's Kingdom, and his Kingdom would mark the beginning of another world or new order of things. There are several distinct periods of time mentioned in the Scriptures which have their culmination or ending particularly at this time. Among these are the times of the Gentiles and the end of the world. The Scriptures disclose that the Gentile time covers a period of two thousand five hundred and twenty years. They had their beginning with the overthrow of Zedekiah, the last King of Israel, in the fall or autumn of 606 B. C. at the time Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon established the first universal empire in the earth. This period of two thousand five hundred years then, necessarily ended in the fall of 1914. Referring to this period of time the Great Master, through the Revelator, said: "The nations were angry, and thy wrath is come." (Rev. 11:18.) This prophecy was fulfilled exactly on time.
Throughout the Scriptures the word earthquake used in a symbolic sense means revolutions. Right in our very midst here today we have a fulfillment of the prophetic answer of Jesus. With the fall of aristocracy in Russia came a great revolution. With the fall of plutocracy in Germany a revolution occurred there. The public press is almost daily reporting conditions of revolution prevailing throughout Europe, while every day the news columns are filled with reports of a disturbed condition among the laboring people in America and throughout the world.
In further answer to the questions propounded to him by the Disciples concerning the end of the world, Jesus said: "There will be upon the earth distress of nations with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing for fear and for looking after those things which they see coming on the earth." There could be no doubt of the fulfillment of this Scriptural statement in the very hour through which we are now passing. In his address to congress since these days of disturbance have begun, President Wilson said: "These are days of great perplexity when a great cloud hangs over the greater part of the world. It seems as if blind material forces have been released which have for long time been held in restraint." Governmental officials are in perplexity; financiers are perplexed; business men are disturbed and their
hearts are fearful; men who have to do with labor organizations are in perplexity and disturbed; and the restless element of humanity which the Lord likened unto the sea, is roaring. The people, the waves, are dashing against each other, and there is a general condition of unrest in all the earth, all of these things are evidence of the fact that the old world or order of things have come to an end and the time is here for the establishment of the new.
When the Lord called our attention to the fact that the day of His coming and the setting up of his kingdom would be like those during the days of Noah he intended that we should be able to draw many illustrations and pictures as to the character and condition of the times during the close of the Gospel Age. During the days just before the flood the earth was filled with violence—meaning that life and happiness were constantly in danger. (I believe all thoughtful persons recognize the fact that life and happiness are at this very time in great danger, world wide and becoming more and more so as the days go by—This earth is now being filled with violence). The people during Noah's time paid no attention to the warnings given to them by Noah that their world or order of things was coming to an end, so it is today the world will not hear such talk or warnings. There was but a remnant of both man and beast brought over from the world that was into this present evil world and mark you: there will be only a remnant carried over from this present evil world into the world to come wherein dwelleth righteousness. But while there were only eight persons brought over from the world that was into this present world, which runs from the Flood to the second coming of Christ, there will be millions carried over from this age into the world to come for the reason that this age or world is more densely populated than was the first world. But there is one thing certain, and please remember this, that the millions carried over from this age into the next age or world will be just as lonely and lock over a world of far greater devastation than Noah and his family, when they noted complete destruction of all organizations and life except that found in the Ark.
In the age, or world, just before us, upon the threshold of which we are now standing, all the willing and obedient shall live everlastingly. You can rest assured that the millions carried over from this age through the great time of trouble, which is now upon the world, into the age to come will be so well chastized at the hand of Jehovah that they will be glad to live willing, humble and obedient lives, and for their obedience the reward will be life everlasting.
There is always some pain accompanying the birth of new conditions but the pain and the agonies that will accompany the passing out of this present order of things and the incoming of the new will be many fold greater than it would have been had the preachers of the world been faithful to their trust and preached the truth concerning God's great plan of salvation. The poor world as a whole is in darkness and total ignorance concerning God's plan of salvation for the human race. The preachers are more responsible than any other class of men in the whole world for the recent world wide destruction of human lives and property and for the further trouble and destruction that is sure to come in the near future. Please be sure to read Ezek. 33 and 34th chapters, also 1st Cor. 10:21.
Let us leave the dark picture for a moment and remember that according to Bible chronology, types and shadows, we are but a few years from the time when the willing and obedient will be restored to all that was lost in Father Adam and the blessings long promised to man by Jechovah God will begin to flow to the world of mankind. I will not attempt to fix the date definitely but will hint to you my friends that great
PAGE THREE
things are to take place in this world to make men turn their hearts towards God, between this and the end of nineteen twenty-five (1925). The Kingdom of the Lord is in process of establishment but something is got to happen very soon to make men believe this. The Scriptures abound with promises that a righteous government will be established in all the earth and that when this kingdom is fully established then the work of restitution will be in full swing. The Lord will begin the Kingdom work with persons living at the time the Kingdom is established in power and when the living members are in such condition of heart as to manifest complete outward obedience to the rules of the Kingdom, then the restitution through the resurrection of the dead will begin. There shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust. Isa. 9:9; John 5:28-29; Acts 24:15, 17, 31.
I beg to say to the worldly minded that the best investment you can make now of your time and money is to seek a knowledge of the Lord and His great plan of salvation. Seek the Lord while he may be found and before the dark night that is just before us settles upon the world; in order that you may be among the millions now living who will never go into the grave.

James Weldon Johnson is writing an interesting series of articles for THE NATION depicting the American Occupation of our little sister republic—of Haitian occupation undertaken, as he explains it, in the interest of a New York banking firm to which the Haitians are financially obligated. We submit for the consideration of our readers a clipping which depicts the treatment of these people by American Marines during the construction of a road from Port Au Prince to Cape Haitien. It follows; But the Occupation seized men wherever it could find them, and no able-bodied Haitian was safe from such raids, which most closely resembled the African slave raids of past centuries. And slavery it was—though temporary. By day or night, from the bosom of their families, from their little farms or while trudging peacefully on the country roads, Haitians were seized and forcibly taken to toil for months in far sections of the country. Those who protested or resisted were beaten into submission. At night, after long hours of unremitting labor under armed taskmasters, who swiftly discouraged any slackening of effort with boot or furtt butt, the victims were herded into compounds.

He was sentenced, not to prison, however, but to five years of hard labor on the roads, and was forced to work in convict garb on the streets of Cape Haitien. He made his escape and put himself at the head of several hundred followers in a valiant though hopeless attempt to free Haiti.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
LITERATURE IMPROVED
(Reciprocal News Service.)
Columbus, O., Sept. 8.—Just as the year is closing and 1920 passes into history, the National Baptist Publishing Board has made an improvement and advance in Sunday School literature publications, notwithstanding the extreme high price of paper, the scarcity of paper and other print material, the Board under the management of Dr. R. H. Boyd, has been able to issue its Sunday School periodicals for October, November and December, which are the last three months in the year for Sunday school supplies in 1920. A copy has just reached us showing they are complete an dready for the various Sunday schools. Dr. Boyd, the secretary of the plant, in sending this to us stated that it was merely for our information and that we might have a completed copy of the new publication in our hands at least one month before they are to be used in the Sunday schools, that we might review this for the benefit of our readers. The Advanced Quarterly has its topics and the general topic. It has a double cover with the lessons arranged systematically for the school.
