The North Oakland Baptist Church,
10Th street, near San Pablo avenue.
DR.. G. c. Coleman, pastor.
The Lord was in His holy temple
on last Sunday. The pastor preached
morning and evening to good congre-
cations. A number OF distinguished
visitors worshiped with us. among
whom was Miss McDougal of Peters
burg, Va, one of the teachers in the
State Normal School from which our
pastor graduated % years ago. 1t
was then known as the Virginia Nor
NAL and Collegiate Institute, with a
curriculum equal to many northern
Colleges. Since then the southern
democrats, being carried away with
the idea of industrial education only
for colored people and white suprem-
acy, have cut out the college course
and made it altogether an academic
and industrial center for the state. 1t
still does splendid work, as Miss
McDougal proves She is delegate
to the great n. E. A. now in session
in our city. Next week all the Bap-
tist folks around the bay region will
be thronging around because of the
visit of Mrs. S. w. Layton, president
of the Woman's National Baptist
Auxiliary Convention to the National
Baptist Convention. Mrs. Layton will
address mass meeting in our church
Wednesday evening, when all Oak
land will be welcomed, She is a
splendid type Of American woman
hood and stands head and shoulders
above the women of the race, as has
been proven by being elected to rule
over the largest body of colored
women in the world for many years.
She is the only president the Baptist
women Of color have ever had.
Sunday will be a glorious day with
Us. The pastor will preach morning
and night. Come, you are welcome
Our pastor goes on his vacation the
first OF September and expects to rep
resent us in the National Baptist Con-
vrnt;on in Chicago September 9Th.
We ask your prayers.

Some Freak Motorbo.t..

SVsb IVAN "OSOU0S0SOS
Among motorboats expected to set
new records this year is Daddy De, a
freak boat built in Pittsburgh. One
might mistake the Daddy De for a sub
marine If she had a periscope. There
are two main factors in boat construc-
ton that make high speed. They are
the underbody and the engine. The
propeller is a third. The underbody of
the Daddy De is like that of other
boats. Its shape above water is unique.
Offering little resistance to the wind.
Many types of motorboats have been
classed as freaks and have been of
great value in motorboat construction.
Much depends upon the character of
the water navigated, however. Thus
one might call the rift climbing boat a
freak. Yet it has its uses in water
where the average motorboat is USE
less. This design Of boat has its pro-
|peller above the water line of the boat,
in order to 60 yer the riffs or over
shallow places where an ordinary boat
could not travel fast. In the bottom Of
this craft Is q tunnel-like arrangement
built above the floor level. Water is
forced through this tube by an ingeni-
GUS construction. and it is here the
propeller revolves.
