Personal Evangelism
Campaign To Begin

The campaign of personal evangel-
ism will begin next Sunday at the
First Methodist church the pastor,
Rev, GuytOn Fisher, announces, with
the usual services on Sunday, and
preaching every night during the
week at Z 80.
Most of the Methodist churches
in tie United States either begin
or close their revival services this
year on the above date This means
that most of the pastors will be fore
ed to conduct their own services,
since every pastor will be engaged
and cannot go outside to assist. The
day worship is omitted that the per-
sonal work, which is the unique
characteristic Of these services, may
be done.
There will be variety of special
programs of song and music. The
membership is urged to be present
whenever possible, and the public is
cordially invited.

Antiseptic Soap was not worth s. cents!
No, nor you never will, because it is cheap
for IS cents cake; quality, suitable pro-
portions, as true toilet soap for general

soap, honest and just claims for it as
soap, absolutely no artificial coloring used

There was a future which each had
thought of as marking out the career
for which he was best fitted. But
none of these awaited at the call of
country. To hear that call was to
heed it. and our country will be the
poorer If it ceases to stand with
barred head in the presence of relics so
eloquent or of dust so instinct with
spiritual values.
Great Word Cnsel6shness.
The great word that occurs to me
in this presence is unselfshness.
These men found glory. but they
found it because they sought it via
unseltishness. 1t has been said that
there is not in the confines Of our vast
country a solitary public monument
erected to a man or woman who was
merely rich or merely learned or
merely influential. Back of wealth
and learning and influence there must
be the throb Of human fellowship and
the urgency of common service be-
fore men resolve to perpetuate a life
in bronze or marble. The dead who
lie here have consecrated unselfish-
ness as the primal force in American
ilfe. and by contrast they have made

Pledge Of Helping Hand.
I'VE white Baptists of the south,
most of all the different elements of
our American people. must stand
pledged to give to the negro race
the helping hand of brother in all
of these matters. There are many
ways in which we can do this. The
governors of Illinois and Arkansas
appointed interracial commissions.
composed Of leaders of both races, to
study conditions. to cultivate bet
ter unlersta nding between the races.
and to aid in preventing. as far as
possible, mob violence and other out
breaks of racial prejudice. Similar
committees have been constituted in
many counties, and already many
wholesome results have been accom-
plished. With all such movements
hope our people will cooperate with
