Industrially quite . few people are

fewer hours. The amount Of work
for them to do has difnirsshed.
The new earnings Of wage eAxners

Meanwhile, because Of the up

agricultural paths, the cost Of Nv
Ing shows . recent tendency toward

PEOPLES PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH

Last Sunday was a memorable day
in every respect in the history of the
church. The main auditorium having
been closed for month for renova-
ton and artistic decoration was, re-
opened for regular worship.
Both morning and afternoon special
services marked the auspicious occa-
sion. Rev. DIR. II. 1. Kerr, executive
secretary of the Board of Church EX-
tension of the Presbyterian church.,
delivered n strong, thoughtful and in
spirational sermon and in the after
noon Rev. DIR. Johnson, pastor of
Scott NJ. f. church, delivered a 10
minute address which sparkled thru
out with the power grandeur and no.
biIity of practical Christianity. The
messages were heartily received and
highly endorsed for their eloquent and
spiritual expression. Rev. DR.. Uggams,
our pastor, is highly commended for
his selection of such worthy and emf
nent expounders of the Christian doc
trines.

DIR. Over for Union
Among Baptists
Larger Race Schools Termed
Best Means of Building
Denomination

We use too much of our time knock
ing each other, that't the reason why
we cannot have large institutions for
the education of our Children" de-
clared DIR. David Z. Over, president of
the National Baptist Theological and
Missionary Training Seminary of Nash
vile, Tenn, at the Baltimore Baptist
Ministers Conference at Trinity Bap-
tist Church, last Monday:
"The Methodists have split eight
times during the past fifty years,
whereas the Baptists have split once,
and have over three times as much
strife as the Methodists.
"Oour children are about to ask us
why is it that all other denominations
can have larger and well equipped
schools, and our church has none. If
we expect our children to respect us
as ministers, we must make the way
clearer for them while they cannot see
so well.
Gentlemen, the fighting among our
selves must be stopped. The ammuni-
ton that we are now using to fight
each other with, should be seved to
fight the common enemy. Afro

COlOred Mail Clerk
To Inspect Prisoner

Texarkana, Ark, July 31.-Anthony
Johns, a mail clerk here, left with ].
b. Cheatham, fellow employee, for
Chicago last Tuesday to scrutinize
four men held in connection with the
100000 mail robbery near Chicago
several weeks ago, to ascertain if they
are the men who held up and robbed
the mail car of the Kansas City South
ern train 80 miles south of here Sep
tember, 1923.
Cheatham was in charge of the mail
car at the time and Johns was his
helper. Both men gave detailed des-
criptions of the robbers, Immediately
afterward and there is said to be good
grounds for believing at least two OF
the Chicago robbers were implicated
in the robbery here.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-08-09

Next to the splendid messages was
the ministry of delightful, elevating
and heart-throbbing music, so capably
rendered by the well balanced choir,
under the skillful direction of Prof.
Hewetson Watson. The spirit of de-
voted worship so richly manifested in
song, was fine accompaniment t.
the spoken word. Prof. Valaurez B.
Spratlin, AM, presided at the organ
with his usual fine ability and incom-
parable dignity.
The painters and decorators spared
no pains in making their work stand
out in bold relief of grace, beauty and
symmetry. They have made every
thing within clean, pleasing to the eye
and inspiring to the soul who finds
an amiableness in the Lords taber-
nacles.
The pastor and his loyal supporters
are deserving of much praise and
commentator for their progressive
activities. Our many friends are sin
cerely thanked for their hearty CO.
operation and cordially invited to wor-
ship with us at any time in our pretty
and attractive church.
