Sunday morning while the collection

one Of Pittsburgh's leading lawyers,
and leader of the church arose and
ordered the intruders to leave the
church Immediately, but they seemed
not to heed his command as quickly
as he thought they should and he
again said, Get ont and be quick
about it." Immediately the pastor,
Rev. r. B. Umry, said, Gentlemen
shall have to ask you to retire You
are disturbing the services here, which
is violation Of the law. You will be
perfectly welcome to remain if you
remove your DISCUSSES, otherwise you
must 60"
The klansmen came to a halt, their
line broke and they slowly retraced
their steps toward the church door.
Attorney Kidney jumped TO his feet
and followed the marauders outside
of the church and snatched the regalia
off the leader who fed to a waiting
automobile parked in front of the
church. Attorney Kidney succeeded
in unmasking FIVE others before they
got into their machines.
He then took the khan parapharnalia
he had secured to the police station
as well as the numbers on the license
tags Of the automobiles Of the Klans-
men. Attorney Kidney stated that he
would ascertain the names of the
owners of the machines and then

the tragic poems that | am glad to
know has been saved for US in this
collection which runs as follows:
BELGIUM
Four years ago
They took our young chief
And led him away.
Stalwart he was,
AS strong as the water bull,
AS beautiful to look upon
As the tampa tree in the first dew OF
the morning.
Him the Belgians took and led away,
Captive for the rubber crew.
"A sickness came upon our tribe,
A sickness laid our men low,
And killed our women;
And there were none to gather rubber.
And when the Belgians came
There was no rubber to give them.
And they grew angry, the Belgians,
And sent back to US Shenzi Khanga,
Him, whom they held as hostage.
He came back, but not he that went
forth:
Never more would Shenzi Khanga
hunt the fierce water bull;
Never more would Shenzi Khanga
Gaze on the fair Askaris maidens.
Back came Shenzi Khanga,
His arms but useless stumps,
And his eyeballs scared with the red
hot iron;
Then we saw and were sorry and
wept
Today they tell us Of great fight
In the land of the white men;
They tel. us of curse, curse fallen
On Belgium. the land Of our op-
pressors;
They tell us Of invading armies, ruth
less and cruel;
Hcy cry OF MONIES burned, OF men
and women slaughtered;
Of women, hunted and ravished and
killed.
So we look about us
AT the blackened ruins Of our huts;
AT the thinned numbers of our tribe,
And at Shenzi Khanga;
And we hasten to him and gather
about him and tell him
The news from the North.
Shenzi Khanga hears,
And raises. his face with the useless
eyes,
And lifts the useless stumps,
And Shenzi Khanga

DEVILIANITY VERSUS CHRIS
TIANITY
Copyright 1928. by w. M. B. wadley

Whomsoever follow after Christ
and his teaching are Christians. I
But those that follow after the devil
are "devilians."
The people that have their names
on the church books and profess to be
Christians, and sinner that knows
his devil, and takes no part in the
teaching OF Christ. Those are the
ones to blame for all the sins in the
land.
A race or nations civilization are
their religion; The Jew, Chinese, all
depend on their religion for their civ
ilization, even the Mohammedan faith,
brotherhood Of man, and Fatherhood
Of GOD.
So many people think that wealth,
gold, silver, and inventions makes civ
ilization, instead Of religion.
The Rev. DIR. Stickney Grant, pas
tor Of the Church Of the Ascension,
New York City, has declared that
there was no Adam nor Eve; these
characters Of the Bible were myths.
Moses was an inspired writer to
whom GOD revealed those things.
Darwin has only theory. Now. if he,
or anyone else the follower Of OAR
win teaching their religion are Oar
winianity." Another new word for the
dictionary.
Next in line" our scientific men
that have theories and no proof what
ever contrary to the teaching Of the
Scripture, should not be classed with
the Christians also
No man has ever been greater than
the law, in all ages; the law is made
from your religion. and when any
men take the law in their own hands
and can do all manner of crimes, an
organization such as the Ku Klux
Klans; take side with the Christians
as their religion. which have not
Christ's teaching, .'then IT must be
the devil" Hence, one Of the new
words ! add to the English language,
"Denlianity."
"The worst of all' the Christians
will build fine churches and love GOD

RACE OR CREED NO BAR, HAIR,
WARD oVERSEERS RULE

Cambridge, Mass.-Harvard will
not bar colored students from its
freshman dermitories, according to a
vote passed by the Harvard corpora
ton and approved by the board OF
overseers Monday.
But the statement says further that
men of the white and colored races
shall not be compelled to live and eat
together, nor shall any man be ex-
cluded by reason of his color"
This would appear to mean that as
an actual matter Of practice the col
ored students will not dwell in the
dormitories.
Recalls Case of Bruce
The committee named last June to
study a means of sitting students for
admission to the college also made
its report with the keynote that the
university maintain its traditional pol
icy Of freedom from discrimination
on grounds of race or religion.
The question of racial discrimina-
ton as it affects colored students was
brought up a number of months ago
when President Lowell wrote to
Roscoe ConkIing Bruce that his son,
a student at Exeter, could not hope to
room in the freshman dormitories be-
cause he was colored This caused
wide criticism of Harvard's attitude
in the matter which was joined in BY
alumni of the college, although Pres
ident Lowell had his hackers.
mo Racial Discrimination"
The question Of race limitation
claimed to be aimed at the Jews, first
came up last spring and ragged for
such long time that President Lowell
appointed committee of the faculty
to study the situation. AS to this the
report says:
Foremost by reason of publicity
and apparent urgency. among the
matters to be examined by your COM
mittee was the question of racial pro-
portion in the student body. The
committee believes that if the intel
lectually unfit can be eliminated and if
our entrance requirements can be
adjusted to the work Of good schools
now sending men to Harvard college,
our whole problem can be met; and
that the student body will be properly
representative Of all groups in our ma
tional life.
Concerning proportional represent
alton your committee is unanimous in
recommending that no departure Be
made from the policy that has SO long
approved itself, the policy Of equal OPP
portunity for all, regardless of race
and religion Any action liable TO
Interpretation as an acceptance Of the
principle Of racial discrimination
would to many seem like dangerous
surrender Of traditional ideals.
Raise Standard; Cut Numbers
your committee is opposed also,
under present conditions, to an arbi-
trary limitation Of the number Of stu
dents to be admitted, and to the policy
Of giving preference to sons Of grad
yates. If the size Of our freshman
class is to be reduced this can best be
accomplished by raising entrance
tests
