bored, he comes up TO claim his share,
thus reminding us of the old fellow
that permitted his wife to kill the
bear and when the scramble was over
and the dust had cleared away, he
stood by and made his boast Look
what we've done"
The ones that have the burden at
heart are watching such movements
and are hoping to be able to report
the facts relative to the situation and
see that honor is given to whom hon
or is due. Our eyes are open and we
are looking to see every person that
possesses a minimum of race pride
fall in line and shoulder his part of
the responsibility.

Sunday, May IA is Mothers Day,
The purpose of the day is to honor
mother whether she be living or dead !;
to refresh our memories with her vir-
tues and Christian graces; to pay
tribute to her life of noblest service
and self-sacrifce for her children; to
renew our VOW to live to meet her in
! the sweet by and by. Appropriate
services will be held at the morning
hour in our church. Our S. S. Supt.
is urging that the mothers of our Sun
day School scholars attend Sunday
school on the morning of that day,
We hope they will llattend. This would
surely encourage the children in their
Sunday school work. 1t will also help
these mothers to do this.

A MOTHER TO HER son.

Do you know that your soul is of my
soul such part,
That you seem to be fiber and core Of
my heart?
None other can pain me as you dear,
can do;
None other can please me or praise
me as you.
Remember, the world will be quick
with its blame,
If shadow or stain ever darken your
name,
Like mother, like son" is a saying
so true,
The world will judge largely of moth
er" by you.
BE yours, then, the task, if task it
shall be,
To force the proud world to do hon.
age to me.
Be sure it will say when its verdict
you've won,
"She reaped as she sowed. Lo. this
is her SON.

AlNlll Nh III >lis
Revival meetings have been inangu-
rated at the Christian Church under
the leadership of Evangelist Charles
NJ. Sharpe of Chicago. Large audi
ences greeted the speaker at both the
Sunday services. The morning dis
course emphasized the necessity of
unity and cooperation among Chris
tians in order that the church may
have its properinfluence upon society,
In the evening the evangelist spoke
upon the mellow An Honest
Man Became a Christian"
At 7:30 each evening there will be a

cordially invited toattend these meet
ings, without regard to their church
affiliations. DR.. Sharpe will speak to
these workers upon lines of Bible
teaching, methods Of personal work,
devotional habits, etc. 1t is believed
that these meetings will be productive

begin each evening promptly at s
o'clock. Singers OF the various

union meetings in the truest sense,
and that all the Christian forces of the

will be cause for rejoicing if the cam
paign shall result in the quickening
and upbuilding of all the churches.
During the meetings DR.. Sharpe
will speak upon such themes as the
following: Being Religious on Pur-
pose" Grinding at the Mil" D" God
Bless Our Home. "The Major Chord
