MEMS BIBLE DAY HERE

Before an appreciatiSe audience
that nueds every available seat Of
Ebenezer Baptist Church, the 1924
Mems Bible Day Exercises were suc'
cessfully staged Sunday, October 5.
| The address Of Rev. William H.
Stokes PHI D., that prince OF teach
ers and finished scholar, in the
opinion of those competent to judge
such matters, marks new epoch In
The history Of the Mems Bible Glass
Movement. It's sound philosophy
and practical advice was inter-
spersed with rare wit and humor.
.Hee stressed the essentials of Bible
study in series of epigrams that
Richmond men will not soon forget.
REV. STOKES ON THE BIBLE.
''The Bible does not only contain
poetry, history, and prophecy, but
| it also gives the rules Of human cons
duct and is guide 10 human life,
whether it be that of individuals or
nations. No nation or individual
can hope to go very far who directs
its life or his life in any other way
than that laid down in this Blessed
book" said DR.. Stokes. He stated
that there is harmony between the
Bible and all true science.
"The Bible teaches good citizen
ship. The man who does not qual
| ify except for disabilities ought not
to live in this country. He has no
business in .he land of the brave
and the home of the free. In this
country we believe in democratic
form of government The Bible
teaches THAI We should take place
in human government. 1t teaches
the correct principles of life. Do
unto oilers you would have them
do unto you.
Prayer is the real preparation for
Bible study" On the matter of The
Bible class teachers preparation OF
| the lesson he expressed the opinion
hat the superintendents of the
various schools should examine their
teachers on Sunday morning from
900 to 9:15 to see if they are pre-
pared to teach the lesson. Sunday
School teachers should be able to
approach their classes without les
son helps" he emphasized. "This
book expresses Gods viii. 1t is a
spiritual book and he who would un
derstand II, must be spiritually in
clined. The Bible is Gods progress
i've revelation and it teaches US the
fway Of salvation"

Afro-American Comes Out with
Force Backing Davis.
MANY Votes for La Toilette Because OF
His Stand with Cohen i'm Senate.
(Ry Robert Barry, for Public
Ledger Company

BALTIMORE, Oct. 5.-No more
amazing circumstance in this year
of political paradoxes is aikely to be
found than in the Druid Hill Ave-
nue. section of Baltimore, where re
side the fashionable Negroes of old
Maryland. Republican managers,
confident of adding the Ssate's eight
electoral votes to the Coolidge total,
have 20 look there for their most
serious problem. Strange as 1t may
seem. it has become mark of social
distinction in those circles to be
Democrats.
One Shird Or a little more of the
Republican vote in the city of Bal
timore is east by Negroes. Unless
the President can defend thas bull
wark of Republican strength against
the assaults of Senator La Toilette,
through his vigorous denunciation
of the Ku Klux Klan, and OF John
w. Davis through the whims of a
dark skinned Dame Fashion, his
hopes of capitalizing defeclons from
normal Democratic voting lists must
be discounted
Ask in Baltimore, the question:
"Will La Toilette take much of
the Negro vote from Coolidge?'
Then get the surprise of your
life.
1t will come in the form of six
reasons given by the Afro-American
a weekly newspaper with circula'
ton of $4,000 and recognized as The
racial organ lin the city, for its out
spoken support of Mr.. Davis for the
presidency.
1t will be strengthened and sup
ported by the statement that w. H.
Lewis, football, baseball and track
star at Harvard, friend of Gavin
Coolidge at Amherst, Assistant At
torney General of he United States
under appointment by President
Harding, is out making speeches in
all the border States urging che cleo
tion of Mr.. Davis.
AS the story is related in the high
society of the colored race in Balti'
more, Lewis enjoyed a friendship
With Mr.. Coolidge which enabled him
CAL" I have not seen them. have
talked 10 men who said they have.
And Lewis, now in Indiana, cam
paigning for Davis, after having
done effective work in Baltimore, is
quoted as having said he was for
Davis and against Coolidge because
he knew Coolidge.
1t mighJ be hard for any one born
and reared north of the Mason and
Dixon Line to understand just how
important such an effect as the loss
of a leadership, as Lewis is recog-
nized as possessing, might mean in
political sense. To any person,
who appreciates the superiority of
fhe brown or yellow Negro over the
black of slave days it is less of an
enigma. The educated Negro refuses
to be bound by the tradition tracing
10 the Proclamation of Emancipa'
tion.
