We, the officers of Highland Avenue
Baptist church, desire to answer an
erroneous statement which was made
through the columns of the Western
Messenger regarding our acts and do
ings with the Rev. l.. H. Mills of AT
lanta, Ga. First, we wish to state
that the Rev. Mills was invited by the
Rev. Bold, pastor, individually. The
Church knew nothing of his being in.
vited until the Rev. Mills had given
his consent to come to run meet
ing at our Church. In due time he
came and preached nothing less than
the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thereby won the confidence and
approval of all who heard him. We
wish further to state that according
to rumors circulated we, the board of
officers, have been maliciously
charged with conspiring with the Rev.
Mills to dethrone the Rev. Boyd, pas.
tor, by resorting to underground work.
We hereby refute the charge and
stand ready to defend ourselves. Now,
as to the Rev. Mills conduct, we wish
to state that during the time he
preached for us his conduct was moth
ing less than that of an humble Chris.

who can be depended upon to do any
real work in the administration

Must Have Ethical Leaders.

Later in her address she said: I'VE
are learning that If the sex movement
is to mean anything our leaders must
be high, both ethically and morally. We
cannot afford to be led by women who
take up philanthropy as cloak for
something else"
Mrs. Barrett advocated the choice Of
leaders in the feminist movement from
those women who had proved their abil-
ity, their character and their regard for
the rights and feelings Of others.
81 know of no element today which
is impeding more the progress Of women
than the woman of the leisure class
Many of these have gained their posi-
ton through their husbands name or
his money, or through inherited money
or position. We can afford to have on
our platform no woman who Is not
u good housekeeper, nor can we afford
to have one who does not pay her
debts"
In conclusion she urged that all
should be interested and feel a. re-
sponsibility for all persons no matter
to what degree they had fallen. when
a child enters the world he has the
seal of God upon him and society is
responsible for him though he break
every law of God and man. The con-
