SERMON SPARKS BY
 REV. JAMESE. YATES

Man may be at War wiIh the forces of evil and still be at peace with his God. This kind of peace transcends all else in this world in contributing happiness that is enduring. To be righteous to the fullness of ones con ception of right is to be at peace with God.
 Possessing such peace, one may be enVeloped in dense clouds of diversity, but the inner consciousness of being right projects a gleaming shaft, pene- ] trating to the light beyond, which warns and Eliminates the soul until the blackest diversity becomes a tribu- tary to the fullness of blessing. Lucifer many years since, made war with God, minions joined him in that war Men in the flesh have enlisted, some as volunteers, and some by sort of a will ! ling conscription in that war.
 Temporary prosperity of the cause waged against God and against right may bring a certain intoXication of l supposed delight but for the soul in 1 fatuated with sin and aiienated from i God, there is no truN and lasting nap ! piness. The rebillion instituted by Lucifer was portentious in might and l is still as flattering as cheap tinsel by i lamp light flashing fools gold and paste 1 diamonds, but Lucifers cause is
 doomed to everla sting defeat with all
 who are received by the glitter, and boise, and pose, of sin in any division
 of it's lying glamor.
 Lucifer is still as much of a prince ir
 this world as when the Savior said ! just before the popular cry of the peo- pie demanded his blood: The prince oi 1 this world cometh, and he hath noth- ing in me. We should not forget that
 a prince has princely power and many subjects over whom he may rule 1 Satan possesses such power and has i many subjects. His power dominates you and his subjects you are unless by
 right gospel process his power over you is broken and you become a sub ject of the kingdom of God.
 To have God and Christ for our lead
 CT and commander, and to follow where they lead and obey their commands is to have a shining and most glorious success guaranteed unto us not-Wlth- standing the present prowess of sin and the princely grandeur of satan'S
 temporarily cOnquering army. If Goo is 10 be ours, and We his, 1t may bc
 accomplished by the simple formula
 of obeying from the heart that form O
 doctrine which Christ delivered tC
 the world (See Rom. 6: r., 1S.)
 And again note the piainness of this 1 which is also from the word of Cod: Whosoever transgressetn and abidett i not in the doctrine Of Christ hath no God he that abideth in the doctrine Fof Christ hath both the Father and tht Son. Jno. g. Faith in God, repen-
 tance from sin, baptism for the re-
 mission of sin, a reception of the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands of the
 ministry, a belief in the resurrection oi
 the dead, and in the ecernal judgmen are the first six principles of the doc 1 urine of Christ, as is plainly stated i
 Hebrews 6. To be obedient unto Goo
 we must first break with Satan.

Der of our white citizens are going 10 attend the nd-off to be given tn the men of the colored draft on Mon day afternoon and evening at East lake park.
 l had the pleasure of passing this summer with a colored regiment and 1 want to testify that nowhere in any of the armies of the world have 1 seen more sOldier-iike men than those veteran troopers of the Tenth cavalry. The non commissioned officers, even after scores had been sent for train ing at the officers camps fur train ing, wepe equal to the best any where The behavior and discipline of the regiment were--as they always have been-eXcellent.
 The colored ,man has had his loy- alty severely tested. He has been deprived of his vote in many states. and he gets very little encoHragemen, in any. Even in the unifolm of the United States the negro s0lGie-' is too often subjected to gross insult; as his blood is as red as anybody else's and in the army he is taught to be self-respecting it is not aston ishing that once in a long while his anger flares up. The negro working man is not considered desirable 5y most trade unions (the l. w. w.. Il fact, is the only labor organization which gives him a genuine welcome) and his being outside the union i3 made an excuse for abuse if not for massacre.
 1 In the midst of all our talk about
 democracy and the tales of German oarbarities, we, have the horror of East St Louis, The German hun,l ists must have had fine time over 1 it. What a lot of satire they must have indulged in about those Amer 1 jeans who are so eloquent about l equality and against a class superior ! by birth, who nevertheless (even in i the enlightened western states) insist on separate schools and separate 1 churches - presumably a separate i heaVen-for a large section of the community, men with the sane tongue, often with better manners and
 with some of the oldest blood in the
 country
 If the negro has preserved his loy %
 alty in spite of all this, it is partly. 1 suppose, because he believes that a considerable number of his white fellow countrymen really would like to
 see him get a square deal. Now is
 the time, or never, for US to shoG l ourselves a united nation and one in which all stand with their feet on ;he
 same level. If a man is good enough to fight he is surely good enough to l be shaken hands with: and trust ! that there will be euite q numbo: of US whites there at the send-off to dc the shaking.
