"Off to Camp Gordon" was the
statement announced at the head
quarters of the Sunday School Con
gress this week when it was learned

the Sunday School forces, was out
of the city visiting in the interest OF
the Front-line Sunday School work.
1t is understood that on Thursday
he was in Atlanta, Ga, and that he
visited the soldier boys at camp.
Georgia is regarded by the Baptist
forces as one of the strongholds OF
their denomination, and much signifi-
canoe was attached to the trip of the
Congress Secretary to the soldier
boys.
Not only will he visit Camp Cor
don this month, but he will take in
South Alabama and then swing up
as far as Camp Dick, New Jersey,
which is only a short distance out
from Jersey City. He will be Joined

tives of the state of Georgia has been
arranged for this occasion, and that
workers from several sections of the
state of Georgia will be with the Con
gress Secretary, and plans will be out
lined for more active Sunday school
development in the Peace Tree State

At no time within the history OF
our people have the prospects been
so bright for the coming of new day,
for the attainment of more complete
citizenship and for a relization OF
perfect American democracy than that
which seems to be in sight with the
dawn of the year 1918. Already the
pail which has so long hung over and
weighed us down has begun to vanish
A glance backward will convince the
most skeptical and pessimistic among
us to the rapid strides we have made,
the great distance we have covered
since the first day of the year 1911.
With this start-the highest Court
in the land unanimously sustaining
our citizenship, the War Department
throwing open its doors to our young
men as soldiers and officers, a member
of our race occupying position al
most i'm the cabinet of the President OF
the United States it would not take
a great stretch of the Imagination TO
view ourselves at the end Of another
twelve months in full possession OF all
to which the laws of our country have
so long entitled us and for which we
have so long hoped. a few years ago
il was not safe for Negro soldier TO
pass through the streets OF any city Oh
our Southland. Now due Difference
is paid them wherever they apear and
they move about unmolested as do
those from any other group OF our
people. But of course there are eX-
ceptions to all rules and it is useless
here to mention the recent deploraDle
exception to this one.
[ indulge the hope that the close OF
the year 1918 will find the world IN
the endowment of that peace whlch the
Prince of Peace brought to earth near
" twenty centuries ago. Then WIN
the halo of Christ shining over the
bloody plains of Judea, the hills ana
vales of Europe, the prejudice rid
den confines of America, what a glor'
ious world and country we shall nave
With the close of this war VIII
come greater opportunities Tor our
voung people in the world of business
commerce, finance and trade than we
have ever heretofore dreamed or But
doubtless our great leader, the found
er and organizer of our National Ne,
gro Business League, our reNereu
friend and benefactor DR.. Booker
Washington had all this in his mind
eve while he worked so earnestly and
strenuously for its welfare before ne
| left us.
In the same spirit in which he
worked | wish through your columns
TO urge our young men and women to
prepare themselves to take advantage
Of these vast opportunities which are
certain TO come to us in all parts OF
the world when peace again reigns
The beacon light of the National Ne
gro business League will surely lead
! TO such preparedness.

WANT BETTER PAID
MINISTERS
GOSPEL PREACHER SHOULD
HAVE BETTER CARE-GLOBE
OPEN-ATTENTION INVITED
ON SUBJECT.
BY Henry Allen Boyd.

PAY the preachers of the Gospel a
better salary and then demand their
time, so that they may be able to
study and expound the Gospel from
their pulpits from time to time with
more force and effect, in keeping with
the intelligence of the age.
when the Lord said Go ye into
my vineyard and work, and whatever
is right | will pay He was directing
these remarks to the preacher the
minister, the pastor One of the ca
lamities of the age has been that the
minister Of the day is not paid a liv-
ing salary. To every profession and
every activity, young men are flock
ing. In the field of medicine, for in
stance. you will find in its various
branches between four and five hun

studying for the Gospel ministry? /
attribute much of this to the fact that
they are under-paid.

he ought to go to Nineveh where life

not so much that he is disobedient to
the call, but he has seen so many
hungry families, so many worthy min
listers who are spending their lives
and being spent for the cause, with no
apparent lack of appreciation on the
part of their people and congregation.
The pastor of church should be
one of the best paid men in the com
munity. His congregation demands
that he be intelligent eloquent and in
the front ranks of citizenry. In order
to get this, the congregation ought to
be able to pay the price. When per.
istry, he does so at a great sacrifice
and sometimes if he happens to rake
up courage enough to marry and real
family, he not only must suffer him
self, but the suffering extends TO the
family. The husband is not able to give

TRUST DEPARTMENT.

Considering the fact that we have
more than $50 Stockholders in Nash
Vile alone to be auXiliaries and boOs-
ters for the Bank our Trust Depart
ment has done precious little. Many
must be thoughtless or ignorant of the
powers vested in us by our Charter,
viz, to act as guardian, Trustee, Ad-
ministrator Executor and any tiduc-
iary relation. So often people die with
out a will; put the Bank before the
public as a square dealer to every
one, controlled by an experienced EX-
ecutive Committee, gives double as
suranCe that all such business will be
handled with care, prudence and good
judgement,
When your friend or your neigh
bors friend is thinking of how and
who shall look after his business after
death, suggest the Peoples Savings
Bank and Trust Co., fair and impair
tial dealer with relatives, well inform
ed and advise das to the duties and
