Farmer Game.


For this game all pretend to be farm
ers. The players are divided into two
equal sides. One of the sides goes of
at distance to determine upon what
fruit or vegetable to bring to town
and how to show the manner In which
1t was raised. Then the acting side
marches in line to the guessing side,
which says. "Who are your" The acting
side announces Farmers" What do
you SELF" Products from our farm"
How did you raise them!" This way"
And the acting side goes through some
motion agreed upon which shows how
the potatoes were dug or put into bags.
If corn is chosen the planting may be
shown. or the cutting. the shocking or
the husking. When fruits are chosen
the players may pretend to be plant
ing. pruning. picking or packing.
As soon as the guessing side guesses
the product the acting side runs, for
the players on the other side try to
capture as many actors as possible. II
the product Is not guessed, but Is given
up. the acting side chooses another
product and has another turn at act
ing. The object Of the game Is not
only to guess the product. but to cap
ture farmers. The first side capturing
half of the farmers of the other side
wins the game. If the game starts out
with eight players on each side, the
side which grows to have twelve play
ers first wins the game.

RACE JOURNALS
Story Of Sixty Years Growth
Of Christian Recorder.
THE MOTHER OF Them ALL

Interesting Incidents In tho Life Of
Pioneer Religious Publication, Which
Was q Power For Good In Creating
Sentiment Against Slavery -Eduea-
tionai Work Of Methodist Church.
Philadelphia. - As this is perhaps
the first time in the history OF the
race that newspaper has reached
such an age. the editor of the Chris
tian Recorder recently celebrated the
occasion by the issuing OF special
edition containing largely articles
from the first edition OF the Christian
Recorder and from eminent Negro
journalists.
The Christian Recorder Is published
by the A. M. II. church, which mas
been the pioneer In 50 many efforts
for the advance of the race. The
A. Nj. Il. church established and now
controls the oldest printing house
managed by colored men in the world
the Book Concern OF the A. NJ. II.
church at 63l Pine street. philadel-
phia. 1t was the A. M. e. church
which established the first school for
higher culture among the colored
people Wilberforce university, which
recently celebrated its iftieth ami.
versary.
The oldest magazine now In exist
ence was established by the A. M. ID.
church. Thts church is the pioneer In
Independent Negro educational lnstitu-
tons in the south and was first to
attempt the writing and printing Of
its own Sunday school literature.
The Christian Recorder was not,
however, the first Negro journal,
though it is now the oldest. The first
Negro journal was established by the
Rev. J. B. Russworm in 1926, but It
did not last long. The A. N. f..
church published the Christian Herald

In 1S4S This had very varied ex.
perience, but struggled on until the
general conference in 1852. when Its
name was changed to the Christian
Recorder, and to this day 1t has been
known by the latter name. Its first
editor was Rev. M. NJ. Clark. who was
one of the best educated men OF the
colored race during his time.
The Christian Recorder soon became
one of the great forces In the life
Of our people, and In the abolition
movement 1t took prominent part.
Upon its exchange list were many OF
the prominent religious papers Of the
country. and 1t was frequently quoted
as b"tng the authoritative paper and
standing for the highest and best for
the colored people.
Today, although hundreds Of secular
papers have grown up, having a
wider range and larger constituency,
yet the Christian Recorder Is looked
upon by all as the mother of our
journalism and an influential factor
in our racial life. 1t goes to the homes
Of the leading African Methodist min.
listers. who number over 6.OOO. and It
holds strong place Of influence among
race journals.
Edited by the Best Trained Men.
It is sometimes said that large pop
ular EXAMINATIONS are not very careful
In the selection Of their leaders. select
ing rather those who are given to
oratory than those who are given
more to thoughtful and constructive
effort. But with the Christian Re-
corder this has not been the case.
The A. M. 4. church has always Sc
lected for this paper one of its best
trained men. Its tirst editor, Dr. n.
M. Clark. was one Of the first Negroes
to take a college course and was grad
uated from Jefferson college In 1895.
DR.. Clark took the paper In 1852 and
was its editor till 1854. when he was
succeeded by Rev. Qater Bishop, J. p.
Campbell. Editor Campbell was one
OF the best students of his day. he
was succeeded by the Rev. Elisha
Weaver. another strong. well trained
member of the A. NJ. e. church.
The first editor elected after the
close Of the civil war was perhaps the
most brilliant the paper has ever had,
the Rev. (now Bishop, BENJAMIN T..
Tanner. who was editor from 1858 to
1884. when he founded and became
editor Of the A. NJ. e. Review. the old
est Negro magazine now In existence.
