Looking Back
By Videtta Ish

(For The Literary Service Bureau)
To those who remember the man
ners of children of other days it
seems so very strange that today
they should push themselves forward
and IN 50 many ways manifest fla
grant obtrusveness. If children Of
the other generation were allowed to
remain in where their elders were
engaged in conversation, they knew
they were to be "seen and not heard"
But, today, children correct their
parents in use of language and in the
narration Of Incidents Sometimes
they "hog the conversation" taking
it entirely away from the older
ones. 1t is not unusual to hear, "No,
mother; it was this way" and "She
didn't say that; she said this"
In other years the penalty for this
conduct would be a "back-hand lick"
and a dismissal from the company.
And it would mean a dressing" af-
ter the company had gone. Yes, child
rem of today are more enlightened
than were stheir parents and their
grand parents; but, in manners, they
are yet decades behind.

Text: Thy kingdom come; thy
will be done.-Matthews CLIO.
1. Definition of the Term. The
terms Kingdom of heaven" and
Kingdom Of God" are used inter
changeagly and is now conceded
that the 'kingdom Of heaven" refers
to "a state of society" Jesus en-
phasized the spiritual significance
when He declared, "The kingdom Of
heaven is within you"
2. What the Kingdom Means to
the World. 1t means living the life
of Christ; bringing life and char
acter into -consonance with the ex-
ample Of the life of Christ, and with
the Golden Rule" His formula for
social righteousness. With the king
dom of heaven in the heart of a man,
he will deal justly with all, will have
sympathy for all who suffer or are
unfortunate, will be tolerant in re-
gard to human errancies and he will
be generally helpful to his fellow
men. Of course, the ultimate and
complete result will be that Gods
will shall be done Sin earth as it is
in heaven"
8. How to Bring 1t About In
this text we are taught to pray for
the coming of this kingdom But
prayer alone will not accomplish
what is desired. Those who are inter
ested in this consummation must

Hitting The White Mans
Vital Spot
By z. A. Adams

(For The Literary Service Bureau
Familiar is the story of the strike
Of Negro buyers on Chicage's South
side, led by the Courageous Chicago
Bee and by means Of which the chain
stores were forced to give employ
mont to colored people. This was hit
his pocket book. There are thou
ting the white man in the vital spot
sands of such cases; and the number
should be multiplied. An incident of
this Kind came under the writer's OBJ
servation in Kansas City, Kansas.
The Kansas City incident has to do
with two white drug stores When
the colored peope first invaded this
neighborhood, these two drug stores
were unfriendly and Negroes were
denied service at their soda foun-
tains. More Negroes came; and col
cred drug stores opened in the neigh
borhood. These two proprietors
thawed out. Now they are willing
and anxious to serve colored people
in any way. One especially asks, "Is
there anything else? Do you need
soap, or powder, or anything else?
Not long ago the other former snob
stepped out in the snow to invite a
eolored man to "come in and wait for
the car" These are instances which
show colored people can hit biased
white people in the vital spot And
they should not hesitate to do 90.
