A NOBLE ALLY.
BY Benjamin V. Longdon.

AS we visited the home of the Kan
sas City Sun last week and saw the
staff at work from the editor down,
we were reminded that centuries ago
such honorable workers were de-
spised. 1t is said that Sir Walter
Scott was obliged to conceal his bust
ness partnership in the publishing
house of Constable Brothers in order
to preserve his social standing. The
whole of the past is one long, dark
story of the despising of honorable
workers and the eXaltation of gilded
idlers. What makes it worse is the
undoubted fact hat people really did
not know better. Then the press, the
noble ally giving itself without stint
or apology to the people who were
making a noble fight for sobriety, de-
cency and morality, wassunrecognized.
But the clouds have vanished. Under
the influence of Christian teaching
we see nowadays the need of a worthy
publication. 1t is quite impossible to
understand u time, u institutions,
our business enterprises, without read
ing a Negro newspaper. One reason
why so many crude, il~l-digested views
are SO widely accepted is found in
being accomplished by our energetic
men and women.
For instance, the state and national
meetings held in Kansas City, Mo-,
during this month found a noble ally
in the Sun. From day to day it held
up to the public eye the personnel
and proceedings of the daily sessions.
It's news and editorial columns were
constantly in service to bring to light
the Ways of those who promote and
protect the fraternal, religious, bust
ness and professional side of u peo-
pie. The Sun is among the foremost
of our newspapers of the land, and
it leads in the courageous and insist
ent advocacy of everything that con
tributes to advertising the worthy
achievements of the Negro. Yea, The
Sun is in the fight for a nobler race,
and the individual, white or black, on
the firing line of progress, has in The
Sun a noble ally.
"Then hail to the Press! chosen
guardian of Freedom!
Strong sword-arm of justice! bright
sunbeam of truth;
We pledge to her cause (and she has
but to need them),
The strength of our manhood, the
fire of our youth"

STRONG MEN NEEDED
BY MODERN CHURCH

That it is the strong man, who,
with firm step, resolute in heart and
determined in mind. is needed to
make the church a power, was the
opinion of Rev. Walter White. pastor
of the First Christian church of
Cedar Rapids, Ia, special evangelist
at the First Christian church. last
night. Rev Whites subject was
"Represe nting Christ"
1T is by a mans personality that
he makes good in the business
world" said Rev. White. IF he has
a firm grip. walks up boldly TO the
man with whom he must come in
contact N a business way. he nat
urally makes a strong impression.
So it is in politics. Men will go TO a
political gathering. confident in their
ability as a platform orator, and
speak fearlessly on the great ques-
tions and issues of the day
And yet" the speaker continued,
when 1t comes to speaking in
church, offering perhaps a prayer,
making a public confession, firm
men become afraid and tremble as
an aspirin leaf We are witnesses
before God, and upon us devolves a
fearsome responsibility. We must
shoulder these responsibilities with
dignity, zeal and earnestness. We
must stand by our convictions. This
is an absolute message. Some folks
may think it an obsolete idea, as
shown by their actions"

tonight is THE Conquering Christ. 8"

Francis and Miner SITS, last night i'm
plored his hearers to turn away from
the false appeal of external things,
the material things of life, and TO
seek not secondary things, but to
put the first things first. Taking for
his text the words, Seek ye first the
kingdom of God and His righteous
ness. and all other things shall be
added unto You" Rev. Black point
ed out the utter futility Of such an
empty life as one lived merely for
pleasure, wealth and power.
God is love" declared Rev. Mr..
Black in explaining the importance
of love, the right kind OF love, in
this world. Love is the pivot upon
which all things turn. Life would
be cold and dreary without it. When
connected with God il is eternal.
Who would sacrifice for the temporal
things of this life that love which
is the compelling force for making
men more worthy clean livers, good
husbands and steady fathers?"
DR.. Black emphasized the neces-
sity of paying particular attention
TO our actions with a view to the
influences they may exert on the
lives of others This influence, and
the results of it," said the pastor.

the giving of scandal to our neigh
bors. there is the danger through
heredity of the sins of impure life
of the parent being visited upon the
children, and even through them to

Christian life followed out con
scientiously does untold good. It
may result in the saving Of many
souls"

that he never knew a missionary to

In conclusion he said that II you fol-

Spiritual Somnambulism" was
the topic of the evangelist. 1T is a
call to arms, an awakening from the

come before there can be any true
revival" he asserted.
The speaker outlined the course OF
physical sleep; the collapse Of the
muscular system; the failure OF Wis
ion; of the sense of hearing and
touch. He then showed that this
physical sleep was only a smile of
spiritual sleep that steals slowly over
the soul, curtailing it's activities

is an opportunity, il is more, it is
an obligation. We are obliged 70 do
certain things and to observe certain
laws If we are 10 fulfill our mission
and purpose upon this earth
Rev Nppincott compared the
spiritual laws of man 10 the physi-
cal laws, which, if obeyed, secure

the spiritual laws. If we violate the
divine laws we are made TO suffer
spiritually. Life is 10 US a moral
obligation, il is a trust given 10 US
by God. The great purpose Of our
life is the discharging OF our Fathers

vine laws our work and our very
life will have been lived in vain"
