However. the immediate question set
here Is for an exact anSwering-as

Negro as wage Garner. The problem
involves primarily the immediate reac-

the period of adaptation, period not
yet defined within any grouping. In
1t, however. is the gradual drift OF the
colored people away from the native 90

reaching out frcm fieldwork and house
work into the near fields OF simple
mechanics and approaches to trade.
The early investigation is crippled for
lack of separate statistics for Negro
wege earners. That difficulty obviated
within later years. the survey becomes
accurate and informing in respect to
the areas chosen by the Negro for set

Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson.

the earth of Christ's message Of love
and good will among all nations. II We
possess the courage Of our convictions
and had consecrated our lives upon
the altar of God, as Paul did in an
effort to win the world for Christ, we
would quickly carry His gospel to every
creature and usher in day OF peace
and universal brotherhood.
The present period Of depression Is
due to lack of faith. Men have for
gotten God. In the mad rush for ma
terial gain the spirit Of confidence and
trust has been destroyed. Upon Labor
Sunday we are apt to consider only the
economic needs Of the toiling millions,
The desire for justice and fair play
will all be restored when we return to
the fundamental principles of the Lord
Jesus. Wars will cease when we recog-
nize the reality of the Fatherhood Of
God and the Brotherhood Of man.
Enmity, hate and the spirit Of retail
alton all disappear, when His command
to love one another becomes the domi-
nant controlling motive of the worlds
life. Let us hasten the era of peace,
brotherhood and good will by doing our
missionary task.

AS he walked toward the Wades
home he considered what Marjorie had
told him; but, more conjecturally, the
thought of what she had not told him
was uppermost as he greeted Nancy
and gave her Marjorie's message. 1t
was forthwith arranged that the little
party from Pathways should 60 over to
Morrow Craig the following evening.
In the morning Jimmie played a
round Of golf with Nancy, meeting
Evelyn and Lionel on the course.
Evelyn repeated the invitation to the
Wades and Jimmie for bridge that
evening and passed on. In the dis
lance was Capt. Stirling and another
man, the one-armed golfer making some
accurate long drives.
In the afternoon he went to see Ros-
coe and again met Supt. Richmond,
who seemed greatly discouraged. THE
safe way to commit murder Is on the
impulse. Every plan you make is a
source Of danger. If man hates an

Suddenly the chance to kill is offered
and he takes it. That sort of crime is
the most difficult to detect"
Are you talking at large or with
reference to the Querdling case?" asked
Jimmie.
ITO this case, Of course. am COM

chauffeur did it. He was furious at
her, she was there under the image and
he gave 1t a shove. No one saw him

land to some extent agree. The visit
to Ben Acres for the hammer was not
the only walk that evening"
"On the way to Bens, or coming
back. he went around by the Dutch
garden and saw his chance"
What about the empty carr" asked
Jimmie.
He thought it would put US of the
track, but our failure 70 trace 1t justi-
f1es our doubling its existence"
II, as Jimmie suggested, Collett and
Mrs. Frater had seen it, too, Richmond
said it might not have been the same
one.
Richmond had seen Green again, he
said, but the chauffeur stuck to his
story. Certainly proof would be difficult.
Others had the same opportunity as the
chauffeur, with apparently stronger mo-
tives-not anger only, but very definite
gain. Jimmie left him, little thinking
what the night was to bring gorth.
