Y. M. c. A. NOTES.

The members of the checker club
have been playing some interesting
series within the past two weeks, and
will soon be in shape to do some real,
effective playing just as soon as they
become better rated and really find out
their full strength. At the present
time Mason is in the lead, but 1t is
doubtful whether that lead could have
been still maintained If he had been
at the last meet on Tuesday evening
and sat before Cranberry, who is real
" a terror Many players are lined
up for next Tuesday night when reg
ular battle will be fought.
In the absence of the Rev. P. j. Price
who was to have spoken at the meet
ing last Sunday afternoon, DR.. West
brook, who was present, was intro
duced and spoke on the membership
drive of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People.
OF those present more than half OF
them took their memberships in the
organization.
The Glee Club rendered music at
the meeting of the n. A. A. c. p,
which was held at the Colored Wom-
ems Club Home, Monday evening, and
was well received by the large num-
ber present. The next public appear
ance of the club will be at the Zion
Baptist Church on Sunday evening OF
the 18th inst An orchestra is now

CHURCH NOTES.
Mrs. Viola Washington.

Both morning and evening services
were we'll attended Sunday. During
the morning hour Rev Over discussed
the subject, THE Marks of True
Greatness" This discussion was the
source of much inspiration. Text
Verify l say unto you, among them
that are born of women there hatn
not risen greater than John the
Baptist: Notwithstanding he that is
least in the kingdom of heaven is
greater than he" Matt. 11:11. The
pastor said: The desire for pre-emi-
nence is widely manifest the desire
to achieve power and success: to
make the most of oneself and gain
pre-eminence must fill the heart OF
every normal human being: it is a
normal human passion; and inasmuch
as this desire is so widely prevalent
he exclaimed: Is it right? The point
made plain was the right or wrong III
aspiring for pre-eminence is seated IN
motive. Attention was called to the
fact that when Jesus told his disciples
there had not risen greater than
John the Baptist, he knew all about
Moses, Elijah, Ezekiel, Daniel, ana
others of Gods great men; but the
mark of Johns greatness was SHOWN
when asked what and who was he;
he declared himself nothing more than
the voice of one crying in the wilder
ness" The lesson taught that true
greatness is the spirit to become as
a little child, to become conscious OF
self as .othing.
The sermon preached Sunday even
ing was from the first Psalm. 1t was
also an instructive and an inspiring
discussion.
Addition to the church: Mr.. D. NJ.
Gwynne, Mrs. Clarinda Anderson, Mr..
Danl Hodges.
Sick: Miss Bertha Dean is reported
better.
Mrs. Mary Skinner met with the
accident of crushing her hand last
week.
We are glad that Bro. Myers was
able to be in the congregation Sunday
morning.
The funeral service Of Mrs. Susie
Troutman was held at Zion Church
Sunday afternoon. Rev. Over off1cf-
ated. The bereaved family has the
heartfelt sympathy OF the community.

Portable assurance that plans for the

among our French and British asso-

action which they have displayed
from the beginning of the war.
Fortunately, the relations between
our soldiers and those of the British
and French are uniformly cordial and
happy, and the welcome of the civil
population of France has been met by
our soldiers with chivalrous apprecia-
