NO HELL OR FUTURE LIFE.

The white slave traffic" and social
eviP are the natural and logical result
of the praise and worship of a God
created by men of such morality that
they gave him son without requiring
him to marry its mother, and help to
support her and It All people are
prone to follow the example of their
ideal characters and though the charae-
ters be purely fictitious, they have
the same effect on their characters as
If they were realities. This accounts
for people who admire and worship
an immoral God being themselves the
most immoral in their sex relations.
One seldom reads a newspaper with
out seeing accounts Of idolaters follow
ing the example of their ideal God in
immortality. To teach people that
God is a perfect example of goodness
to be initiated by men who wish to
do right, and that this God did not
marry and support the mother of his
child, is the most effective way of teach
ing that free love and promiscuity is
right. Idolaters reason that it could
not be wrong for man to do what
perfectly just and moral God does.
The inhabitants and patrons of the
red light" sections of cities, and The
bad lands" of smaller towns are suepr-
'titous idolaters who never doubt the
existence of he'll and a future life,
md the reality of God-W. H. Kerr, Ct.

CAPABLE MAN ON THE JOB.
r. L. Powell. Who Has Mastered Art
Of Manufacturing Ice Cream.


Manifestations Of the fact that our
people are succeeding along most all
lines Of business and in the professions
are almost daily occurrences. The
manufacturing Of ice cream, however
is a field to which the race has not
given much serious thought from a
business standpoint.
True, there are among us a number Of
capable men who have made good as
caterers or cOnfectiOners, but the fine
art Of the business as a money making
venture. We fear, has only been lightly
entered into.
One Of the best qualified men in the
art Of manufacturing this tOOthsome
product Of whom we know in Greater
New York is Robert Lincoln Powell.
Mr. Powell has held the position 0f
foreman in the manufacturing depart
ment Of the Reid Ice Cream company
at its summer plant in Asbury Park,
n. j., for a number OF years and has
given entire satisfaction
In the winter season Mr.. Powell Is
employed by another concern in Brook
Ign. He knows the business in all Of
its complex parts and is thoroughly re-
liable. II might be the key to his fu-
ture success II he would go into the
business for himself.

DR.. WASHINGTON LIKES

Says Comedian ls . Tremendous Asset

and vaudeville performances. as a rule,
strike me as tiresOme
There is so much that seems TO me
strained and artificial and lacking in
the flavor OF ordinary wholesome hu-
man nature. But Bert Williams hu-
NOR strikes me as the real thing.
There Is nothing secondhand or second
rate about II.
His fun seems to flOw spontaneously
and without effort. as II it came from
some deep natural source in the man
himself. Besides. there are a quality
and a favor about Bert Williams hu-
NOR which indicate that it is the nat
ural expression OF a thoughtful and
observing mind.
Bert Williams Is tremendous asset
OF the Negro race. he is an asset be
cause he has succeeded in actually do
ing something. and because he has sue
eeeded the fact Of his success helps
the Negro many times more than he
could help the Negro by merely con-
benting himself to whine and complain
about racial difficulties and racial dis
ordinations.
The fact Is that the American people
are ready to honor and to reward any
man who does something that is worth
while. no matter whether he is black
or white. and Bert williams career is
simply another illustration Of that fact.
