PASTOR SPEAKS
 0F SERIOUSNESS
 IF PRESENT WAR

The First Christian church enjoyed a great rally Sunday morning. There were record breaking crowds at both bible school and church, as all were eager to welcome their pastor, Dr. w. $. Buchanan, who has just returned rom the Southern California conven- ton of the Christian church, which was held at Long Beach.
 After assuring his congregation that he had found no place as good as Phoenix and that he had boosted for the city till many good people of Cali fornia were persuaded to move here, Dr. Buchanan took as his text Ephes- ians 4:4-5. There is one body, and one Spirit even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism His sermon, in part, was as follows:
 These words that I have read in your hearing give the central thought in the convention of Southern Califor- 1ia, which closes tonight, and which attended from Tuesday to Friday night 1 want to give you just a few thoughts that 1 gleaned from the convention
 T am sure the gospel of Jesus Christ is going to run it's course and take the world. Some one says, The way
 
 IS if the gospel would take the world Look at the world war But beloved, God lives, and He will rule the earth sooner or later. Jesus Christ is to be the King of Earth He is the Lord and Savior now; He hasn't been crowned king as yet; but when Jesus comes and we crown Him King of Kings, He will take charge of this earth, and the world will become Gods and it will become Christ's.
 'The Children of Israel, after they were led out of Egypt and had crossed the Red Sea, became discouraged Many began murmuring and wanted to return to Egypt, and sinned in the sight of God because they were afraid of the hardships which might come and of the giants that had entrenched themselves in the Land of Canaan. And God said, I will keep you in the will derness until this generation, with its wicked leaders, shall have passed l away And the Children of Israe lived in the wilderness forty years, un- til their evil leaders all had died.

$1oo REWARD

Word having reached me of a rumor the nature of which to me is derogatory and is being circulated by members of my own race, I wish to say the rumor is absolutely false and without any foundation whatever.
 For over B years I have resided in Arizona 31 years having been spent in Phoenix. All these years I have stood for law and order, justice regardless of race, peace and right.
 I believe the men of my race should have the same high standard of life. When my mind becomes such a blank that I can forget the courteous treat ment and kind consideration shown my race all these years, when I so far for get myself as to lower my standard of manhood to which I have so strict ly adhered all by life, I repeat when this happens, l will take to the tall uncut timber and stay there where men
