BAPTIST MINISTERS WILL DIS.
CUSS THE SECOND COMING
OF CHRIST.

DR.. c.. S. Morris, pastor of Fifth
st. Baptist Church, delivered an
address on last Monday, before the
Baptist Ministers Conference sub
ject, "The Second Coming of Christ" "
DR.. Morris occupied the floor for
over an hour and in his character
istic and scholarly manner outlined
the N. T. teachings as touching
upon this important subject.
The brethren listened with rapt
attention as DR.. Morris pointed out
and explained passage after passage
which according to his interpreta-
ton taught of the way and manner
of our Lords Second Advent
At the close of the address DR..
A. S. Thomas, Richmond's veteran
pulpiter, staunch fundamentalist and
guardian of the faith, arose to differ
with DR.. Morris. The hour was so
late and the subject so important
that the president, Rev. j. E..
Fountain, contrary to the usual
ruled that the subject
would become the "Order of the
Day., next Monday.
The brethren are invited to be
present to take part in and listen
to warm, but friendly discussion.
Some of our local theologians
hold that the second coming will be
before the millennium, others that it
will follow, therefore it will be of
interest to every minister to be
present and hear the question
argued by these able men.

BROTHERHOOD REPRESENTA-
TIVES IN RICHMOND.

After very successful three
weeks stay in Norfolk, Mr.. S. E.
Grain, who is the Travelling Rep
resentative of the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters, also the "Mes-
senger" Magazine came to Richmond
to further the interests of the Broth
erhood and the Messenger.
Mr.. Grain said that the Brother
hood could not lose if the Pullman
Porters as group and the Negroes
in general could understand that the
organization is not just Pullman
Porter's fight, but a race fight in
stead. Mr.. Grain said there were
dozens of other organizations taking
money from the Negro preparing
him to die, but the Brotherhood, as
labor organization, is trying to
prepare him to live. He said that
no group, or no race, or no nation
should reach the top with culture
alone. 1t requires something else,
and that something else is an eco
nomic background.
Mr.. Grain is willing to speak at
any place in defense Of the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Portess and
the Messenger" Magazine. while
in the city, his address is 21S East
Leigh st. He would be glad to- talk
with anyone concerning the Brother
hood and his work. FORWARD TO
VICTORY!

JAIL FOR PREACHING
RACE SEDITION
Leader of Red Flag Order Dragged
Away in Midst of Harangue
Against Stars and Stripes and
White Supremacy.
(Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch)

(Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch)
Fearing a riot last night when a
group of Negroes at Third and
Leigh Streets were urged to dis
honor the American flag and live
under the red flag of the Moors,"
the police pulled j. Mosley, a 35
year old Negro, from a ladder as he
exclaimed: "To hell with the Amerl-
can flag; down with the white
people!" Along with him seven
other Negroes, three of them women,
said to be followers Of Mosley, were
placed under arrest. All were held
atthe Second Station
Several white men, who happened
to hear the Negro preaching while
passing, sensed the possible danger
of disorder and summoned the police
to the scene. Lieutenant S. T..
Goldsby and Sergeant ]. T. Riddell
arrived a few minutes later and the
assemblage dispersed quietly when
Mosley and the others were taken
into hand.
One Negro came into the police
station few minutes after the
police returned with their prisoners.
Walking up to the desk sergeant he
remarked: "You know dat niger
you all je' rested; dat fool charged
me 81 fuh sewn degrees"
Mosley said he was trying to en-
list members to live under the red
flag which he called the flag of the
nation Of his race. He said the red
flag connoted peace, love and hap
piness," and that Mohammed was
-. - ...';.
He showed the gathering a framed
charter Of the organization in this
country, whose headquarters, he
said, is in Chicago. On it was
the World" The charter was issued
January IL, 1928, to the Moorish
Holy Temple Of Science, Inc, 1900
block North st. James Street, in
Hanover County. With the two
flags, it was taken over by the
police as evidence.
The Negro is charged with preach
ing without permit and with
disorderly conduct. The police said
they intended to deliver him to the
Federal authorities for blaspheming
the American flag. The others are
charged with disorderly conduct.
The Negro, who talked freely, but
incoherently, in his cell, said he was
born in Richmond, but that he had
been living in Chicago for a number
of years. He said he met "Noble
Drew Ali" whom he called the Most
Holy Prophet, in that city about
three years ago, and studied under
him. Several months ago, he de-
clared, in this city in search Of his
mother, he decided to remain and
establish a Moorish branch.
1t was reported after the Negroes
arrest that he had been seen ha-
ranguing on street corners before
gatherings a number of times dur
ing the last few weeks, but that no
attention had been paid to him.
While the Negro would not COM
NIT himself when asked how many
members the organization had in
Richmond, he did say "there are
plenty of members all over the coun-
try"
