BORDER BRIEFS

Despite the fact that we have no
church building, this Christmas
promises to be the finest and most
prosperous in many years at Border.
AS this is being written, the children
of the Church School and Epworth
League are in store for truly joy
GUS holiday season. No detail nor
person has been overlooked in
preparation for this festive occasion.
Although handicapped by having no
church building of our own for the
holiday season, we are happy to an
nounce at this time that plans for
our relocation are beginning to take
definite shape. 1t is hoped that our
new plant will be ready for occu-
pancy in the next few months. Since
final plans have been completed,
there remain only few negotiations
to be made before actual building
begins. In view of these facts, truly
memorable Christmas is In store
for all Border.
Border will hold matchmaking
services at the parsonage, 6O6
Eighth avenue north, Thursday eve
ming, December 81, 1886. To make
it possible for all to make an auspi-
cious start toward a greater Chris
tan fellowship and clearer under
standing of the problems of one an
other, this service will begin at 9
p. m. The period from nine to ten
will be devoted to fellowship, the
hour from ten to eleven will find
the pastor, Rev. D. P. Young, di-
recting a brief worship service. All
are invited to attend this service,
and to share in the attendant joys
of fellowship and Christian brother
hood.

FATHER DIVINE'S ANGELS

New York.-Angels of Father Di-

much amazing information about
Gods" cash income.
For months the Supreme Court
has been trying to find out why
Father Divine can't pay a $4,000
judgment secured against him in a
bus accident. Father has always
pleaded he is innocent about money
matters, although a book has been
written about his riding in Rolls
Royce, and he has startled New
York with the purchase of string
of farms upstate, and riding around
in his own private plane.
Now two eX-angelS, Verinda
Brown, and the second still bearing

Pastor Once Race
Member Turns White

Whitesburg, Ky.-A minister, once
member of the race, has turned
white and this freak of nature was
due, the Rev. A. H. Madison says,
to his fervent prayers asking God
to make him white so he could
preach both to members of the race
and to whites also.
The Rev. Mr.. Madison is holding
forth a revival in the small mining
town of Raymond, near here. The
news of his change in complexion
has caused thousands to flock to
the nightly meetings.
Forty years ago, the Rev. Mr..
Madison began preaching. At that
time he said he wished he was white
so he could deliver Gods message
to all races alike. Then, he said. he
began to pray. Within a short time
he began to grow white, and today
he is about as white as any white
man. Thousands of people of repute
testify to the fact. On the other hand,
if the Rev. Mr.. Madison had kept his
color, he could have gone to Brazil.
France, or Germany and delivered
the word of God without any diff

The Rev. Mr.. Madison was born
in Alabama and first. came to the

Chenoweth To Be
Public Forum Speaker

c. w. Chenoweth, instructor in
philosophy at the University of Ida
no, arrived Monday in Minneapolis
to begin six-week's engagement as
Minneapolis Public Forum speaker
With regular evening rieighborhood
Forum meetings recessed because of
the holidays until January 5, Mr..
Chenoweth will appear at a series
of special meetings in the meantime.
Mr.. Chenoweth comes to the Min
neapolis Public Forum with the
reputation of being the most sought
after speaker on the Idaho univer-
sity faculty. Information which
preceded him states that Mr.. Cheno-
weth is both witty and an interest
ing speaker, that his classes are
among the most popular at Idaho
university, and that he has the un-
usual faculty of putting across his
material in lively and human way.
Testimony as to his speaking
ability Is born out by the fact that
he Is called upon to deliver from 10
to 20 high school commencement
addresses every year and has been
asked back to the same high school
four years in succession to give the
graduation talk.
In 1894, Mr.. Chenoweth presented
a series of radio talks on various
types of government in the world
over NBC under the auspices of the
educational section of the C.C.C.
These addresses made such a decid-
ed impression that he received a
great many requests from all over
the West for copies.
Mr.. Chenoweth will conduct Min
neapolis Public Forum meetings on
such subjects as "Philosophic Base
of Communism" Democracy and
Fascism," and what Are the Prac-
tical Values of Religion" What
Does It Mean to Become Educated?,"
Should America Seek to Expand
Her World Trade? P" what Is Prog
ress7" and "By-products of Science"
Following his graduation from
West Virginia Wesleyan, Mr.. Cheno-
weth took his MA. degree at Har-
ward. He later had a semester of
study at Oxford university in Eng
land. During the World War, he
was over seas for year as regi-
mental chaplain with the 302 Field
Artillery. Before becoming philo-
sophy instructor at Idaho in 1922, he
taught public speaking at Harvard
university.
Two outstanding educators will join
the Forum speakers staff in Janu-
airy. They are DR.. George Haynes,
one of the most widely-known negro
educators in the United States, and
DR.. Frank Slutz, who collaborated
with John Dewey, Sherwood Eddy
and others in writing Am I Getting
An Education?." DR.. Haynes will
be on the Forum program from
January to Is, and DR.. Slutz from
January Is to 81.
Others who will lead Forum meet
ings in January include DR.. Helen
Dwight Reid, associate professor OF
history and government at the Uni
versity of Buffalo, and DR.. Emil
-Lengyel, international newspaper
correspondent.

New York, Jan. 20 (AP)-Industry's
steady push toward recovery last
year achieved its greatest momentum
in the final quarter, as evidenced IN
the impressive showing of industrial
and railroad earnings released during
the last few days.
General Motors Corporation, giant
leader Of the automotive industry, re-
ported the largest December quarter
earnings in the % years of its exist
ence and for the entire year 1885 the
best profits since 1929.
United States Steel Corporation.
likewise the leader of its field, ended
a long succession of deficits with the
first December quarter profits after
preferred stock dividends In several
years.
The steel concern, in spite OF low
rate of operations in the first half.
finished the year with net income OF
$1,O84 ,917, compared with a net loss q
more than 100000 in 1884.
Most of the important railroads
were able in December to raise by a
good margin the limits of their gains
shown in the Immediately preceding
month, and in contrast with Decem-
Der, 1884, the improvement in their
rev7enues was considerable.

Raleigh, JAN. 29.--The State Demo
cratic Convention will not be held un-
til after the State Democratic pri-
mary the first week in June, accord
ing to most opinion here. For while
all the members of the States dele
cation in Congress are regarded as
strongly favoring the holding of the
convention before the primary, the
belef here is that most of the poll
teal leaders in the State think it adj
visable to postpone the convention
until after the primary.
The reason for this belief is the
fear that the convention might be-
come a pep meeting for one of the
candidates for governor, or that the
faction backing one Of the candidates
might get control of the convention,
and hence Of the platform committee
and write some planks into the plat
form that would help its candidate
and hurt the others. For while the
principal and almost the only duty of
the convention is to elect delegates to
the Democratic National Convention
in Philadelphia most observers con-
cede that it might show more Inter
est in the primary campaign within
the State than in the national con-
vention if it should be held before the
primary.

by CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington. Jan. 29.-To say that
President Roosevelt is beatable next
November is not to predict he will be
beaten.
Democratic politicians assert for
publication that his reelection is GER
tain. Confidentially many Of them adj
NIT that they are uneasy. Republt-
cans assert for publication that the
G. o. P.'s candidate, whosoever he
may be, is sure to win. Confidentially
few of them are more than mildly
hopeful.
The situation is puzzling, even to
the wisest experts.
Republicans and Democrats agree
that normally there always have been
more Republicans than Democrats in
the United States ever since the two
parties have existed; that the Demo
Gratis never have won nationally ex-
cept when there has been something
abnormal in the atmosphere. Does the
requisite degree of politico-econom1c
abnormally saturate the atmosphere
of today to insure another Democratic
victory? Next election day will tell.
Now it's a mere matter OF guesSwork.
PARTIES SWAP PLACES
Another factor enters into the
equation.
AS Republicanisms and Democracy
hitherto have been defined, Republic
cans, as previously remarked, haze
been more numerous ordinarily than
Democrats.
But, as of recent date, the two par
ties have snapped positions. Foremr-
