Mount Zion Baptist Church, Rev.
]. Sterling Moore, pastor Sunday
school and church services were well
attended last week. DR.. w. II. Moses,
field secretary Of the National Bap-
fist convention, occupied the pulpit
at both services. AT the morning
services DR.. Moses delivered bril-
liant discourse, selecting as the basis
of his remarks Genesis 4 :6-10. He
spoke of the disposition to stay apart
and to segregate ourselves and of
how to destroy the family feeling.
The sermon was divided into three
parts: first, the cause of social seq
regation; second, the curse of social
segregation and, third, the cure for
social segregation. Concluding, he
said that no matter how far apart we
may be it is possible, even as for
Cain, to come back.
The B. Y. P. u. met at 6:45 p. m.
and discussed Race Relationship in
My Neighborhood."
At s D. m. DR.. Moses chose as the
text for his sermon Matt. 81: 13. He
stressed the Importance of spiritual
fly in our lives and said that the main

money; il is to raise people. Contin-
uing, he said People are willing to
give money to promote religion if
the church is promoting it. The be-
setting sin of our time is that we
have lost communion with God.
Prayer life is not only dead in our
people, but it is dead in our churches.
People do not attend prayer meet
ings because they do not believe in
prayer"
Next Sunday there will be preach
ing at the morning services. At night
the delegates to the Northwest Coast
Baptist Association convention will
have charge of the services. All are
cordially invited to the services.
Grace Presbyterian Church, Rev.
+. Martin Lewis, pastor.--"How a
Mouse Held Up a, City" was the SER
monette theme of last Sunday. The
comparison of little foxes running
a vineyard" and little wrongdoings
running a lifep was the main theme.
Look at Your Gas" was the adult
sermon topic, in which the story of
the ten virgins was given. The Chris
tian Endeavor topic was one in
which the wonders of nature as a
part of the goodness, holiness and
power of God were related. 1.-THE
Goodness and Power of God Re-
vealed in Mature" Psalms 1916,

Well, the British are playing a very

bout. Parsons weighed $50 while
Hendricksmeier weighed in at 173.
The first round Parsons had Pete
going with swift jabs to the face
but the Raymond boy stuck by his
opponent with his usual fighting
spirit.
The second round started the same
way with Parsons pecking at Pete's
face, but here "Alkali" suddenly
changed his tactics and covered up
his mug. While trying to solve the
new situation, Parson run into one

The Tentacles of the Octopus
They knew that the tentacles of
the Standard Oil Octopus were far
reaching. They knew that all the
great resources of the monster trust

Independent Oil operators and their
allies in the cabinet of President
Harding. That powerful men In
subsidiary corporations would be
swung into play, if necessary. One
of these powerful captains, who owed
allegiance to the Emperors of Oil,
was Frank Vanderlip. For long
time he was the dominent figure in
the National City Bank-the bank of
Standard Oil of New York. When
accommodating had to be done in
Russia Vanderlip was there. He
found that Sinclair had recently re-
turned to the United States with val
liable concessions in the Sagalien
field in his pocket, that excited envy
in the avaricious mind of the oily
banking magnate.
If Sinclair could get trade agree
ment through between the United

wealth would flow into the lap of
Sinclair that would make him the RI
