MANHATTAN DAYS AND NIGHTS
BY HERBERT COREY.

NEW YORK.-New York is filled
with cabarets which feature so-called
Creole dancing turns. These Gre
oles, of course, never got any nearer
New Orleans than Harlem.
Uptown there is a cabaret which spe-
cializes in the combination of black
and white. Black girls. white men,
white girls, black men. Liquor is easy
and expensive. Perfumes are apt to
assay high. Scented sigarettes blue
the air. Colored lights are dimmed.
Now and then they fade out entirely
during a dance. You can guess the
rest.
1t is sordid and low-life and disgust
ing and pretty thoroughly depraved, of
course. The only comfort one gets is
in remembering the statement of Gil
Boag, husband of Gilda Gray the shim-
my shaker, and operator of various
cabarets:
I'm going to quit" said he. 'You
can make money in cabarets, but you
can never keep. it,"

is $4,000.
That is absurdfy low. In one Of the

guess the cost of hanging New York's
hats on pegs at $4,000 day you're
not far wrong.

beer the other day. Sc. we visited the
restaurants where beer may be had. AS

CHICAGO, May 10.-Mrs. Ma

who was married to Major Max

The marriage of Miss Mccormick,

SOUTHERN BAPT|STS
DO N { S952,57O
FOR HOME MISSIONS

Funds contributed by southern
Baptists for home mission activities
during the convention year just CON
cluded totalled 1852, 570.1S, accord
ing to announcement by the home
mission board of the Southern Bap-
fist convention. This figure is APP
proximately the same as in 1928,
when 1852 ,061.07 was received for
home mission purposes. These funds
were the home boards share of the
proceeds from the rs million cam
paign, which was inaugurated five
years ago by southern Baptists to
finance the activities of the denom-
ination for a five-year perod. Eff
forts were made to collect all pledges
due at this time so that finances
for the convention year might be
put in satisfactory shape, although
the five-year period, as far as col
lections are concerned, has been eX-
tended until this fall.
The year just closed has seen the
debt OF the home board considerably
reduced and many remarkable re-
suits accomplished in the various de-
partments, according to a, statement
from DR.. s. j. Gray. corresponding
secretary of the board, accompany
ing the announcement of the finan-
cial status. The extension of the
time for payment of rs million cam
paign pledges has affected the re-
ceipts somewhat, but the outlook is
hopeful on that account, he declares.
Because of our financial condi-
ton, including our heavy debt, re-
trenchment in our operations was
necessary but painful because of the
harm done to the work that every
where called for enlargement" says
his statement, outlining some of the
results OF the years work. 1--WE
have never had such advance in the
direction Of self-support on the part
Of our mission fields. and churches.
1t presents a most hopeful and graf
flying outlook.
THE fiveyear campaign has not
only. brought weak missions and new
churches to strength and Self-sup-
port, but has opened up new fields in
every department of our work. An
other striking fea ture of the years
work is the increased number of vol
unteers and their better equipment
for Christian service. Hundreds of
our best young men and women are
applying for work in the home mis-
sion field.
For our schools, and churches The
cry for better and more ample ia
cilities is imperative. Our very sue
cess is contingent upon SUP plying
our forces with proper buildings and
equipment. Without these we can
not preserve what s-e have and are
barred from advancing. More over
there is urgent need for additional
workers, and many are offering

REUNION TO PUT NETHODISTS
NEAR TOP IN CHURCHSTRENGTH

in the country, as the northern
branch has 4,593540 members, the
southern branch 2,339,152.
While the whole question OF slav-
cry was tied up with the schism be-
tween the two bodies, 1t was in
reality a single negro boy by the
name Of Jacob who caused the great
est split in an American ecclesias-
teal body.
Bishop Andrew had inherited him
from. his first wife. He was the
bishops body servant. He held also
until she became of age, q girl by
the name Of Kitty, who had been
willed to him by a friend for him
to rear. When Kitty became 10,
Bishop Andrew, abiding by his
friends will, offered her freedom
and passage to Liberia, or honda ge
in his household. She chose the
bondage Jacob had no choice.
ScripturaI Defense Cited
The conference in New York in
1914 was held at a time when anti
slavery sentiment was rising in New
England. Bishop Andrew was mar
ried a second time just before the
conference to a woman who had a
number of slaves. He decided them
back to her. His status, however,
was resented by the northern Meth
odists, who held that it would
greatly embarrass the exercise of
his office as an intinerant general
superintendent, il not in some places
entirely prevent 1t.
Interpreting the sentiment OF the
south, Bishop Andrews friends held
that slavery was not evil, that it
was clearly countenanced In the
Old and New Testaments and cited
the scriptures to prove it.
The result Of the long debate,
termed ugly wrangling" by one
who heard it, was the adoption of
a resolution urging Bishop Andrew
to "desist from the exercise of his
duty so long as the impeachment re-
mains"
The southern delegates, declaring
that their constituents could not
support a church that had so de-
clared, moved that the slave-holding
and the slaveless states organize
their own conferences. The slave
holding states organized the M. e.
church, south, at Louisville, Ky,
the following year.
Under the plan that has been ap-
proved, the existing jurisdictional
conferences will be retained, with a
general conference over them. Each
of the existing conferences will cede
powers to the central body.
