AN INSTRUCTIVE ADDRESS
BY REV. ]. [. HARDING
PUBLISHING HOUSE PICNIC
GRAND SUCCESS

With the thermometer registering
between So and 90 in the shade, the
employees of the National Baptist
Publishing Board betook themselves
to the hills and the wooded spot,
known so far and wide as Greenwood
Park.
The occasion was the annual picnic
that has been observed by the Ma
tional Baptist Publishing Board for
its employees for a number of years.
The entire plant with its departments
closed down tight for the occasion
and at ten o'clock Tuesday morning
special street cars, laden with those
who manufacture and send out Bap-
tist literature and Baptist supplies,
together with their families, left the
mammoth institution located at the
corner of Locust and Second Avenue,
North, and journeyed to the park.
AS soon as they arrived they scatter
ed to the various portions of the
forty or more acres each party or
group finding the spot best suited
for them. The National Baptist Pub
fishing Board under the management
of DR.. R. H. Boyd, furnished the
transportation and the ice cream and
gave each employee who joined the
picnic at the institution and went
with them full days pay. DR..
Boyd stated it was one of the three
well established occasions that every
employee of the institution looks for
ward to. The first, he said, is the
prayer service which occurs every
morning; the second is the annual
new years dinner and the third is
picnic day. They were little late
this year as it is generally carried out
on the second Tuesday in July. But
ion account of the rush in the various
departments and the heavy quarter,
the picnic was postponed. This was
done in order that every order for
Sunday school literature might be
filled and there would not be one
left over on picnic day. The pictur-
esque scenery of Greenwood Park and
rolling Typography, making it an
ideal spot for the observance of the
day in the woods was an indusement
that proved attractive, number

PRESIDENT JONES IN THE NORTH

Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. S-Rev.
Edward P. Jones, D. d., president of
the National Baptist Convention,
reached this city today from points
in Indiana. He stated he had just
begun a trip that would take him
considerably over the north, visiting
such cities as Indianapolis, Chicago
and St. Louis, and that he would go
as far west as Kansas City. He came
to this city from South Carolina and
the Virginias. He has been the guest
of number of the Baptist people of
these states. When asked when he
expected to go to Nashville he stated
he was waiting on instructions and
in all probabilities he would be in
Nashville between the 18th and 18th,
going almost directly to Little Rock
Convention.

The East Nashville Ladies met at
the residence of Mrs. James Morgan,
721 Georgia Street, for the three
days instruction in canning with
Miss Viola A. Jenkins, the Govern
ment home demonstration, who took
great pains in teaching the class.
The class was very much benefited.
They took on many arts in canning
they soon found there is still much
to be learned in canning. There was
much canning done that otherwise
would not have been. Many thanks
to Miss Jenkins

During the past week it was learn

was intentional or one of the natural
bouquets thrown at the Negro Bap-
fists for their educational effort was
not learned, but, it is stated that dur
ing the course of the sightseeing
tour around the city the automobiles
bearing the distinguished parties
came, to stop in close proximity to

ITS PERPETUITY.

A righteous end cannot be attained
through an unholy alliance. The
spirit of trickery, and unfaithfulness
to the people has opened headquar-

are maintained in Helena, Ark,
Chicago, Texas, Georgia, South Caro-

other places. Brethren in Tennessee,

intimidation and harrangue, robed
the people of their constitutional
rights to vote, kept the money they
had paid for representation fee, then
passed a resolution in their absence,
debarring nearly one hundred
churches, which were the majority
of the Convention. Since that date

in whatever field we may choose to
CLEAN. Their devotion to the cause

their cooperation we have had in
