The st John Baptist Sunday School
was opened at $50 o'clock by the Asst
Supt., Brother Luther Noble. After de-
votional exercises, the classes passed
to their respective places and were
forcibly taught, resembling a short
program was rendered. Mrs Maud
Holloway discussed the topic which
was enjoyed very much. Mr.. E. F.
Evans discussed the blackboard review
which was carefully outlined so as
everyone could get the meaning Of
each picture. He can always bring
thoughts worthwhile.
Rev. D. ]. Jones reviewed the lesson
in general and brought ideas to the
mind so plain that the smallest child
could understand. Rev. R. Poole, a vi
sitor, was introduced and made some
encouraging remarks. We are always
glad to have visitors come see what
we are endeavoring to do. Our cradle
roll department is real interesting. The
Abdemelech and Debbora classes are
equally so. The latter two had a race
for the financial banner which was
captured by the men although the
ladies said they were willing for them
to have the banner once this year
One hundred and twenty-five were
present. A very nice contribution was
realized.

The Ministerial AL
lance Appoints Com
mittee in Tuesdays
Meeting

Being duly appointed as a committee
from the Interdenominational Minis
terial Alliance in our meeting last
Tuesday for the purpose of respect
fully expressing our feeling concerning
the methods that are being used with
reference Ito our people in the matter
of registration, we write this article.
First of all, as ministers and leaders
of our people we wish to state that
there is no disposition on our part to
say or do one thing that will disturb
the peace and harmony of the town
and community in which we live. We
wish to make it clear that it is our OBJ
ject and our motive to teach our people
to be law abiding citizens. We know
however, that it is not probable that
all members of our race will do right,
but this does not alter the fact that It
is our desire and teaching that they
should do right. We feel that the his
tory and record of the Negro in Mer-
idian and Lauderdale County, when
compared with others in the manner
of being law abiding citizens, will COM
pare favorably with the record of
others. In considering these matters,
the opportunities that are given our
race must surely be considered.
REGISTRATION
It has been announced through a
local news article on more than one
occasion, that the books would be open
for registration on February 18th. All
citizens of Lauderdale County under
the laws of the state of Miss. have
the right to register, or re-reglster as
the case may be, with certain require
ments. The citizens of Lauderdale
County have been urged to begin re-
gistering on February 18th. Some OF
us as Negro citizens being qualified
and some having been registered cit
liens for number of years. needed the
call made through the local news ar
ticle
When the books are opened for the
purpose of paying taxes, the county is
glad to get our money; it wants our
money; it needs our money, but when
it comes to going up to register, 1t ap-
nears to us that we are not wanted.
We wonder why there is SO much
hesitancy in allowing US the things
granted us by the law. We wonder
where is the christianity that is being
preached from the many pulpits OF
Lauderdale County? Do our civic dut-
les and privileges stop at tax paying!
Is it possible that men who are sup
posed to be christians; who are church
members and who are church officers,
forget us in our obedience and loyalty
tn law and order and that the Negro
has tried, in humble and respectful
manner, to he true to his community,
even though this loyalty may be
great sacrifice.
We wonder where is the golden rule
as taught by the great teacher What
We would that men do to you, do we
even so to them.
