feeling the effect of the attendance

good will of the congregation. The

A Sunday Forum.
II would be fine, if the colored
people of Tacoma would inaugurate
and maintain a forum on Sunday
afternoons. There is quite great
deal that could be learned II we
invited speakers competent to teach
us at such meetings. There are
several things going on that we
need to know. An open forum,
also, where any one who had sense
enough to avoid personalities could
let off a little steam. Sometimes,
it is good thing to let people
talk, even il they talk foolishly.
They get their grudges off their
chest. relieve their nerves and goI
on happily thereafter, till the next
one steps on their toes by some
innocent remark or action. Let's
have an open forum.

Rev. Z. b. Reed of Spokane was
reported as having preached at
Bethlehem Baptist Church while
here last month, by error. He
preached at Berean Church. We
heard that some of the Berean
ladies believe we did it for mean
ness, but we can say not because
Berean Baptist Church has It's ad-
vertisements in this paper and pays
us something: hence we cannot af-
ford to snub Berean Baptist
Church. We are mean. we know,
but not, mean enough to stand in
the way OF our own pocket book.
