Is the American idea of universal de-

American idea ct democracy include
white men only? The African Metho

foundation, understood democracy to
include all races. To extend this
idea it's men and its means have
been called into play for more than
one hundred years, and notwlth-
standing the conditions that confront
us at the beginning of the new world

pal Church still adhears to It's origi-
nal idea, and will not sheath its
sword until its idea shall become
world wide.

Very Unusual Report III Last
Nights Session.

The Baltimore Annual Conference

upon record as condemnins the attl-

Negro men, negro women and ne

sacrifice which might be noted In
the more than enc thousand commits
stoned negro officers and four nun
dred thousand enlisted men, who an
swered the country's call.
Notwithstanding the faes that the
announced purpose of the Govern
ment that it had entered the war for
universal Democracy, those of the
negro soldiers who have faced death
in the fight for Democracy, are re-
turning to this country under condl-
lions which have no parallel in any
country in the world. Veterans re-
turning from tn ewar in other coun-
tries are acclaimed as heroes by the
admiring populace without regard to
race or class. The American negro
soldiers coming home from the
bloody fields of war, where the an
nounced principles of democracy

In sad, but loving, remembrance
of our dear daughter, who departed
this life one year ago tonight, April
rs. 1918.
Dearest daughter, thou hast left us,
And the loss we deeply feel
But it's God Who knows orr heart
aches,
And He can al our SORROWS heal.
Oh, dear Maggie, how we miss you,
There's no tongue on earth can
tell
But we look to our heavenly Father,
And He doeth all things well.
AS we often sit and wonder.
And You on our hearts remain,
Then little baby sister will say to us
Mamma, will Maggie come again?
Then our hearts will ache with sad
ness,
And the tears will freely flow,
But, oh, just wait-it's Jesus coming,
And will take us where no grief
We'll know.
Oh, dear child. you were such a short
time with us.
But your life was to us so sweet,
But, oh, some day we'll understand it
When we meet at Jesus feet.

Zine Address on Present Day Prob.
lens

The Improvement Association at its
Tuesday meeting, was most delightful.
ly and instructilvely entertained by
Arthur w. Johnson, managing editor
of the Grand Rapids News, in speech
on present day conditions and prob
lens. He laid particular strees on
the fact that from the smaller cities,
the villages and the farms must come
the strength and spirit to withstand
the bolshevist, anarchistic and other
dangerous tendencies. He condemned
in straight terms the agitator, being
much more dangerous than real an
archist and who lived off from and
made unhappy the laboring man who
would in most cases wish for proper
and fair adjustment. He urged con-
stant interest and attention to help all
good movements and lessening of
the "we're safe" attitude. He urged
extreme care in immigration laws ana
a return to the old respect for the
constitution and less amending at the
whim of propagandists.
