Washington, D. C.,(Preston News
Service) President Harding, it is said
does not look. with favor upon the
proposal recently made in the senate
that the United States undertake to

Sunday, Jan. 21st., was an ideal
Sabbath day. The sky was clear, the
sun was bright, and the air was
balmy. 1t wa good day to go to
church. The WRITER and Mrs. Lowery
were invited I'd worship at the St.
Paul Baptist Church out at College
Place. We reached the church in
time for the Su nday School, and took
part in teaching the lesson. The les
son for the day was "The Parable of
the Prodigal Sob and both the teach
er and students understood the les
son pretty we'll. The discussions were
interesting
The Rev. J. ~. Myers is the pastor
Of the st. Pau Baptist Church, and
was he who in9 9ited US to worship at
his church. III selected Matt. 6:1O
for his text The words read as fol-
lows: ''Thy kin gdom come Thy will
be done in earth, as it is in heaven"
The subject waB "The Supreme Will"
The sermon wal an able one. 1t was
full of fresh, vii gorous thoughts, which
made awholed dome impression. The
writer hastily jbtted down some of the
leading thoughts Of this very instruc-
tive sermon. He said, Everybody
should learn the Lords Prayer" 'It
is the child's pr aver, and also prayer
for adults" But to be able to say,
thy will be did me, a man must be a
christian" &C God never forces a man
to do His willP' GA man is a free
agent, and God respects the human
will" God ne yer intended that man
kind should be sick He never intend
ed that there should be prisons, but
men refused I'd obey the will of God
this is the cause of all human troubles
men will not obey the will of God"
The sermon literally spafkled with
such beautiful Thoughts as expressed
above. Rev. John M. Myers is a

This Negro letter from relative
who went to Detroit in the summer Of
1917. He later sent back to Missis-
sippi for his wife and children. He
was now being paid S. day at an in
dustrial plant, had saved his money
and was living in a steam heated
house. His two children were going
to good schools and becoming educat-
ed. This Negro claimed another man
he knew was making 81 day in Chi

Hill Negroes Go To Delta.
While the delta Negroes are leaving
the plantationns, those from the Mis-
sissippi hill county are moving in.
The added new families, it is said
are falling under the number leaving,

any definite plans for crop in 1928

He and his people remembered the
writer with liberal donation, and
this was aside from a splendid collec-
tion for church expenses. Mrs. Bessie
Norman gave me her subscription
for The Indicator. At the close of
these delightful services, the pastor,
Rev. Myers, took US to his home in his
car. He lives in a nice home at Book
er Washingten Heights, where a good
turkey dinner awaited US. Mrs, My
ers is a good cook and an excellent
housekeeper. Rev. Myers, without
his dinner, left us, and hastened on to
Mt. Calvary, where he preached again
in the afternoon. We spent a pleas,
ant afternoon with Mrs. Myers and
the children, and returned to Columbia
in Mr.. R. G. Haygood's car. He had
been out that way giving Mrs. Hay
good and the children an outing. The
day was one of joy and gladness with
US, and we feel under many obliga-
tions to Rev. Mr. Myers for his won
derful brotherly kindness.

HhANSAS SUPREME COURT
SUSTAINS BARRING OF AL
LEGED NEGRO BLOOD FROM
SCHOOL.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 25, Preston
news Service) A Temporary injunc
1lon was denied and the decree of the
montgomery County Chancery Court
was a. rmed by the Arkansas Su-
spreme court last Tuesday in the case
,eI Hattie Black and others against
sne directors of the school district No.
20 to restrain the directors from de-
ntying members of the Black family
the privilege of attending the only
scnool maintained in the district, this
school being for white children.
The directors of the school district
held that the Black children have a
trace of Negro blood and therefore
are "colored people" within the mean
liig of the statute. The Blacks con-
tended that they were of the caucas-
sian race with trace of Cherokee In
Clan blood. The Chancery Court dis
missed their case on the ground that
tpe same question had been decided
BY the Circuit court, even though the
Chancery court was the proper one
ia which to bring the suit. The Su-
lame Court held that it was too late
secure the relieef there after hav.
9ke, the. same relief denied in an &C.

III F to the effect that there substan-

the children on account of their

Bt be controlled by the court. The
resent action is not an effort to COM

railroad officials, the Negroes have
the money sent them for tickets by
