With that degree will there not

In the good old days" a saloon
keeper was considered beyond the
pale of decent society. some mothers
even refused to permit their chill

keepers children, for fear they
might be contaminated. Will the l.
DIS and B. DIS children share in
this fate2
II not Why not2
I can do myself just as much harm
by going often enough to the doctor
as TO the saloon keeper.
Should arrive at my doctor
office with cramps and find half
dozen patients with thirsts must I
endure the cramps while the six re-
ceive their prescriptions?
Surely conditions are getting
further away from common sense
every day. Were it not for the con-
fdence there are a few people with
a little horse sense the future for this
glorious old country would be gloomy
indeed.

What a shame TO prostitute an
honorable profession with the bus
mess Of selling liquor.
What an insidious beast alcohol
has become The preachers of some
faiths have become dispensers, the
medical doctors also, while many OF
our trusted law makers do not scorn
to break the law to procure a bot
tie of brain vigor.
Why not be honest. II alcohol has

and rich alike.

part in exterminating IL regardless,

Has this wonderful country OF
ours become subjective to a few

press their opinion?

The Mohammedans are alarmingly
active in Northern Africa, and this
is one Of our missionary problems.
Cyrene is in Northern Africa, and
as we do not know Of any other
Cyrene, we are confident that Simon,
who carried the cross for Jesus, was
from Northern Africa.
There was much Christian activity
in Northern Africa during the apos-
tolic period, and also during the Pc
riod Of the church fathers.
Among the great men of the early
church in Northern Africa, there was
Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria,
Cyprian, bishop of Carthage, and
Augustine, bishop Of Hippo.
Northern Afriac has mixed popu-
lation, consisting of the native Afri-
can people and people from Europe
and people from Asia, which enlarges
the missionary problem. But from
the missionary viewpoint, we regard
problems as opportunities.

MlNNESOTA'S ANTELYNCHING
LAW,

The colored people. of Minnesota
are much elated over the passage of
what is known as the "Anti-Lynching
Law" this week; which provides that
as much as $500 may be recovered
by the kin of a person lynched by a
mob; and, that the sheriff of any
county in which a lynching occurs,
may be suspended from office if he
does not fully protect prisoners from
mobs.
Thus the great state Of Minnesota
falls in line with the states of Ala
bama, Louisiana, Kentucky, South
Carolina, Kansas, New York, Ohio
Pennsylvania, California, Maine, New
Hampshire, Illinois, New Jersey and
Wisconsin, which have laws involv-
ing all or a part of the provisions of
the Minnesota law. There appears to
be no doubt of the constitutionality
of the law, as the U. S., Supreme
Court in the case of Louisiana VS..
New Orleans, 100 U. S. 285, decided
that laws of that character are valid
Mrs. w. T. Francis of ST. Paul is
the author of the law; and, to her
indefatigible labors, in it's behalf,
with the members of the legislature
is it's successful passage due.

In North Central Africa, we have

Gent Ship Of the Desert" is not so
much used.
Across on the eastern coast of
Africa we have Abyssinia, which is
the ancient Ethiopia Of the Bible. In
the, 9Th chapter Of Acts we read that
the Ethiopian eunuch went up to
Jerusalem to worship. He was, OBJ
viously, Jewish worshiper, but not
yet a Christian. On his way home,
Philip, the Evangelist, fell in with
him and got up into his chariot and
preached unto him Jesus, and he was
happily converted and baptized and
went on his way rejoicing; and we
additionally understand that he went
home and preached the gospel to his
own people; and, SO, no doubt, was
the first Christian gospel preacher in
the great continent Of Africa.
We also additionally understand
that the apostle Matthew lived and
labored and died in Ethiopia
In the northeastern corner Of At

still there. We know them as the

The Board Of Directors of the St.

preparing for the week drive for
new members, from April IS to April
80, invited all the pastors of our
churches to a 600 O'clock dinner at
Wilson Villa, Cor. Rondo and Mac

L. Theobald, T. j. Carr, A. H. Leal-

present. Also DR.. I. L.. Rypins, Dr.

Francis, O. c. and S. E. Hall, G.
Shannon, j. @. Adams; Mesdames A.
W. Jordan, S. L. Maxwell, Henry High
and J. @. Adams. -, -
The menu consisted of: Fruit cock
tail; cream of corn soup; beef tender
loin, larded, aux mushrooms; hot
Parker House rolls; mashed potatoes;
creamed peas and carrots, combina-
ton salad; apple pie a la mode;
coffee. All appetizing specimens of
the culinary skill of, Mrs. r. F. Wilson.
After discussing the excellent menu
the gentlemen present, each, had
something to say along the line of
the coming membership drive, all
favoring it and pledging themselves
to boost it4in all ways possible.
The pastors formed themselves into
a special alliance to advance the
cause of the N. A. A. c.. p, from
which much good is expected.
Each of the pastors will have some
thing to say of the N. A. A. c.. P. at
their, services tomorrow.

Wilson considered himself a super
man, and his ambition was to be the
president of a uper-government and
go down in history as the greatest
man who ever lived. Regulated at
the ballot box by his countrymen he
is today, according to all accounts a
physical wreck. And as he sits in
his easy chair, his keen intellect is
tortured by the spectres of his de-
feated ambitions
Mr.. Harding, you have the pow
err to wipe out the President Wilson's
great wrong to the colored people.
You have stated on many occasions
that you believe in equality of citi-
zenship. You have the power to is.

segregation in the departments at
Washington and in the Civil Service
of the United States.
