D|MOND WANTS PUBLIC WORKS
 BILL AMENDED
Committee Assures Dele gate Alaska Will Not
 Be Discriminated

WASHINGTON May 29.-(Spec- ial Correspondence)- e)-Although he has been assured by the House Ways and Means Committee and by Director of the Budget Lewis Douglas that the phraseology of the administrations public works bill is such that Alaska will not be discriminated against in high way construction, Delegate Dimond is taking no chances and will en- deavor to have the Senate Finance Committee insert an amendment to the bill.
 It was his hope that the House Committee would adopt the amend ment, but it's members felt that Alaska is adequately protected as the bill now stands.
 The only section of the bill deal ing specifically with highways al- lots a maximum of $40,000,000 to the 48 states and Hawaii to be administered under the federal highway aid system. This of course does not include Alaska for the reason that the Territory does not come within the provisions of the federal highway aid act The Delegate has been assured that other sections of the bill providing for public works would not initiate against road building in Alaska. He is inclined to agree with that interpretation. but would like to see the amendment in so executive departments could not possibly mis- construe the bills meaning. MT. Dimond's amendment would also include the District of Col ubia, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, the status of which political subdivisions is exactly similar in the bill to that of Alaska.
 Saturday Attorney Gen era Homer s. Cummings sent to the President the name of William A. Holzheimer of Ketchikan. with the recommendation that he be nomin- ated as United States Attorney for the First Division.
 The House Committee on Rivers and Harbors has approved a re- solution submitted by MT. Dimond for a review of reports on Ketchi- kan Harbor, with the idea that additional needed work there will be approved by the Board of En- gineers. The Delegate is endeavor- ing to secure the inclusion of many rivers and harbors projects in Alaska in the public works pro- gram. The rivers and harbors bill, which provided for several Alaska projects, was reported favorably to the House but the opinion now is that the measure will not be acted upon. Instead it is thought all the approved projects contained in it will come within the scope of

/ SHORT HISTORY OF THE
BAPTIST DENOMINATION
Bv Miles Mark Fisher

Minister in the White Rock Baptist
Church, Durham North Carolina, has
just been issued by the Sunday School
Publishing Board Of the National
Baptist Convention Unexpectedly
Nashville, Tennessee.
This work was written at the in
vitation of the National Ministers
Institute of which DR.. George Rice
Hovey, retired superintendent Of Edu-
cation of The American Baptist Home
Mission Society, is director. It is the
text book in Baptist History for the
Institute which reaches many thou
sands of Negro Baptist preachers in
the South.
The foreword states that "since no
authoritative history of the Baptists
has appeared which includes the reli-
gious development of its racial con-
stituents, other than as distinct and
separate groups, there is need of a
work like this that essays to treat the
story of the denomination as a uni
fled whole" AS a matter of fact, the
writings about Negro denominations
generally have treated their develop
ment separately. This is not so in A
SHORT HISTORY OF THE BAP-
list DENOMINATION where North
ern, Negro, and kindred Baptist
groups are given inter related treat
ment in North America, on other con-
tinents, and in the islands of the sea
This history claims that Negro
Baptists have more members in
America by a million than all other
Negro denominations combined, "that
they have more communicates by
over a million than there are Baptists
in the rest of the world outside of the
United States, that in America thew
are about twice as numerous as
Northern Baptists and about equal in
number to Southern Baptists, and
that their history is available nowhere
else"
The book is printed by Negro pub
fishers and is the first text of the In
stitute written by a Negro. The
author, Rev. Miles Mark Fisher, was
formerly Hoyt Professor of Church
History in Virginia Union University.
He was graduated from Morehouse
College, the Northern Baptist Theo
logical Seminary of Chicago, and the
University of Chicago.

ance for the day was 100. Five visitors
were present. Morning service began
at 10:45. Our pastor preached from
the subject, Keeping the Faith"-I

End Tim. At. A large number was

sermon which was very good and full
of interesting facts. B. Y. p. u.

ways on time. Good singing before
the classes passed was enjoyed by all.
The program was in charge of Group

School of Expressions, who gave sew
eral readings. Miss Hacker will begin
a class in expressions and dramatics
at Pilgrim, Thursday morning at 9
o'clock. Prices are reasonable. For
information call Jackson 4939.
In the evening our pastor brought
another soul stirring message. An
unusual good crowd attended. Pilgrim
is in the midst of a Mile drive, with
the women against the men. The race
is very interesting. One dime equals
a mile. Let everyone help us to CON-
plete this race.
In a recent Church Meeting, the
Deacons recommended that the church
give Rev. Dotson 2 months vacation
Let us help him to take this one as he
has always refused a vacation here
tofore.
Rev. Bryant Of St. John and his
congregation will worship with us on
the First Sunday afternoon in Aug
ust. He will preach and his choir win
sing. Our organist, Miss Louise
Fletcher, is spending her vacation in

OF OUR LORD
The Heart of God Exposed
BY DIR. "A. G. Bearer

10y IL n. " D~o
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
Text: But when he was yet a great
way off, his father saw him-Luke
1920.
Why did the father see him "afar
off," Because he was watching for
him. He waited and watched because
of his anxiety, and in order that his
son might not falter because of fear.
1t was the fathers heart rather than
his eyes that recognized his son. His
love gave him keen vision.
The father met him - he a to
meet him. This was indicative of his
love and his willingness to forgive
and receive and of the great joy that
filled his heart at the sight of his
wandering on.
False is the teaching that God
wants men to go to graveyards to roll
and tumble, to agonize and spend
days and weeks, mourning and plead
ing. God is ever anxious to save men.
More anxious than they are to be
saved. And in spirit he meets and for
gives all who will make their way
back to him.

THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT"
By r. A Adams

lFor the Literary Service Bureau)
50 often we hear of Spiritual
values" spiritual interests" things
OF the spirit But, since. in human
practice SO little attention is given to
these things" one is inclined to
wonder to what extent these things
are understood and to what extent
they are believed, even by those, who.
II profession a~potheosize them and
forget them in practice
We are won't to say: "Man is a
composed of body and spirit. Body
is dust, temporal, and transient in its
tenure. To the body belong "things"
pertaining to sense perception, having
to DO with carnal appetites and pas
slons and their appeasements. No
matter how much these "things" are
possessed and INDUCED they are tenn
poral; they end with time; with the
mundane tenure of the body.
The other and antetheticaI element
in man is called spirit, and is con-
cerned with principles, tenets, ideals,
ambitions, and these involve justice,
truth, honor, honesty, faith, integrity,
altruism, social amity, and general
human interests of these it is emin-
emily evident that they are subject
lively invaluable. Here is an illustra-
ton of the old axiom, Virtue is its
own reward" meaning that the prac-
tice Of altruism and the cultivation
of the higher ideals will ennoble ones
life, increase its zest, and add to its
own happiness.
Innate immortality of the soul is a
mooted question. But, whether the
soul is immortal and lives on after

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL AMI
MODERN LIFE TODAY

The Sunday School, one of the
greatest institutions the world has
ever known plays a vast part in the
lives of old and young. Especially
great is the part it should play today
in the life of youth, for youth is the
hope of the world, v though now
and then we hear those who have
been teaching and working in the
Sunday School for a long time COM
plain they see no results of their work,
and feel they are accomplishing
nothing, especially in the developing
of Christianity in the youth of to-
day.
And to what do we contribute these
meager results :? There are some who
concede it is due to this modernistic
trend of living. Today something
is necessary to safe guard all of US,
and especially our young people
aahinst the strenuous demands of
high speed, and the demand and
hurry of modern life. No part of our
Church work is more important than
that of the Sunday School to combat
this trend of modernism, and if the
pupils both old and young will follow
the teachings of the greatest teach
er mankind has aver know, they will
have a desire to participate these
modernistic trends that have caught
so many into its web and prove of
more harm than good.
We are all acquainted with differ
ent phrases of modern living. The
Sunday School has to cope with that,
have a tendency to detract from the
way He would have US GO. 1t is not
for the Sunday School, however, to
judge individuals or deplore the times
we live in but it must match them
with an increased devotion and labor.
There r so many things the world
has not learned that are contained in
the Word OF Life and which 1t sorely
needs; there is so much strength to
be found in a better acquaintance
with Gods Book; there is so much
hope contained in the Gospels that
the depressed world needs today that
it never had the chance to do before,
that not a moment should be wasted.
The Sunday School has the needful
light for the darkening shadows,
wisdom for the ignorant, and ~salava-
ton for the lost, and she must hasten
to distribute her treasured
The Sunday School has been bene-
fitted, it is true by many modernistic
trends, however, such as those of
different socials and athletic groups.
These characteristic trends of the
time should be encouraged for the
spirit of fair play and contact that is
received. Likewise the school must
stand out boldly against those things
which are wor" to retrograde. as so
many phases in this modern life are

MAGGIE L. WALKER HER LIFE
AND DEEDS"

Dy WHnueil II. UhD1cy
Publisher and Distributed by Dabney
Publishing Co., ALP McAllister ST.,
Cinnicinnati, Ohio.l
With the city of Chicago swarm
ing women delegates to the Internal
ional Women's Congress Convention,
and to the National Negro Women's
Convention, my mind became en-
Unused with the accomplishments of
our women and I scanned my little
library through seeking some book
detailing the activities of some one of
U women and a book that I had not
yet read and commented upon.
No better selection could have been
made than in reading through, at one
sitting, the most interesting story Of
Maggie L. Walker. Of course, in a
general way ] already knew some
thing Of her activities, having had
some correspondence with her and at
n time contributed to her weekly
paper.
Perhaps no better historian could
have been found to record for the race
the life history of this remarkable
woman than her friend w. p. Dabney
By reading the book we learn that
they were kids together in the same
neighborhood and quite naturally Mr.
Dabney could treat his subject in the
light of actual life time knowledge.
Mrs. Walkers accomplishments,
under extreme physical handicap, in
the field of banking, journalism, fra
ternal, social and racial efforts are
too well known to need any elabora-
ton in this comment for no one can
think of Richmond, Virginia, without
at once thinking Of Mrs. Maggie T.
Walker.
The history is so written as to make
it more interesting than an American
real life novel and when we think
that the heroine is me of our own
women battling against many odds we
are the more enthused with her en-
deavors.
And while | abhor conventions or
crowds Of any kind my heart was
with our women assembled here at
this time but I can best give express
sion to my feelings in offering the
hope that more historians will as
semble and write the many interest
ing stories that can be built around
our successful women.
