But they seem to think that they are
perfectly able to take care of the sal
walton of their souls. Recognizing that
they must trust others for the saliva
ton of their worldly interests, they
nevertheless seem to consider them
selves perfectly competent, unaided
and alone, for the vastly more difficult
and delicate task of the salvation of
their immortal destiny!
Christ, and Christ alone, is our spir-
itual Savior. "There is none other
name under heaven given among men
whereby we must be saved" Christ
alone is able to save, and "He is able
to save to the uttermost."

Test "Fighting" Bulls

Only 30 per cent of the bulls
bred for fighting are really brave
animals Of the kind bulifghterg
like to have in the ring. The
bulls are tried out by the stockmen
by methods which are not unlike
intelligence tests used for persons.
The bull Is separated from his fell
lows, who are driven swiftly away
while a mounted man feints an
attack on him. If the bull resists
his natural temptation to run after
his fellows. and instead remains
alone and attempts to charge his
attacker, then he Is written down
as being a f1rst-rate bun, provided,
Of course, that his physical quail
ties are satisfactory. He must weigh
more than half ton and have good
eyesight; this latter is very impor-
tant, for IL his eyesight il defec-
tive he may fail to follow the cape
which the fighter swings before
him and quite unwittingly crash
into the matador before that
worthy can sidestep.

FATHER DIVINE"
PEACE!

Perhaps some of you heard over
the radio and read in the news
papers about some persons being
destroyed by fire. In one of the
New York papers it printed an &C.
count of this incident after an in
vestigation was made, and found
that they were not followers Of
Father Divine, and that they were
drunk, they were living next door
to a Peace Restaurant. Their an
tics or shouting which the press
intimated was evidence that they
were followers of Father Divine,
whom millions know as their God,
and Father.
They were trying to ridicule the
Movement by using Fathers Name
in Vain in acts of derision, or bias
phemy and were unaware that they
were in any serious danger. Fa-
Their Divine's followers do not kneel
down and pray, no posture or occa-
sion is necessary for one to kneel,
for a contact between God and
man, in this Faith of Father Di-
vine, God. Apparently after pray
ing one went to the window and
pulled the shade down so the truck
driver could see no more into the
room. Followers of Father Divine
are led by the Holy Ghost, are
protected by His Everpresence, and
would be moved out of such great
danger.
January 10th, 18th and 18th,
1886 A. D. F. D., will mark the
opening Of Father Divine's Inter
national Peace Mission Righteous
Government Convention in New
York City, N. Y. All Organiza-
tons are invited to attend this
Great Event Of the Ages.

jibes. They want to know why it
is that every time a fellow meets
a girl he has to tell her some of
the following things: "Where have
you been all my life?" "I could
fall for you" "You're too divine"

you in my arms" "With you by
my side 1 could cross the desert"
IF you ask me, girls, I think some
of their jibes sound like titles to
popular songs.)

to know that the boy she's going

nNQUISITIVE
SAL
By Helen M. Scott

Hello Friends:
This week, for an interview, I
turned to one of our most promi-
nent Minneapolis women, Miss w.
Gertrude Brown. She is Head
Resident of the Phyllis Wheatley
House, and is worthy of the high
est of praise. During the summer
I became very well acquainted with
her, having been her office secre-
tary. Miss Brown is a charming
woman, and is always willing to
give some needy person helping
hand. Many afternoons while
working for her, I have seen her
get up from the dinner table to
help some person who was in
trouble, and sometimes it was just
some petty disagreement in a fam
lily, but still she would smile and
smooth things over. By her an
swers you may become better ac-
quainted with this interesting
woman.
Here they are:
1. Where were you born? Ans.
Charlotte, N. C.
2. What did you do before you
became Head Resident of the
Phyllis Wheatley House? Ans. l
was Executive Secretary of the
Federation of Social Service for
Negroes in Dayton, Ohio.
8. Do you think the younger
people of our group have better
opportunity for success in the
South or the North? Ans. It all
depends what you are qualified to
do and the section of the North
and the South.
4. Which are easier to handle
in your work, men or women?
Ans. Men.
5. What would you do If you
were left a million dollars? Ans.
I'd like to give opportunities to
deserving young Negroes for fur
thering their education.
6. What's your favorite recrea-
ton? Ans. It's a tie between
fishing and hunting.
z. Are you superstitious about
anything? Ans. No, I am not
superstitious at all.
8. What was the happiest day
in your life? Ans. When my dad
surprised me with a visit here in
| Minneapolis.
9. If you were going to spend
year travelling, where would you
GO? Ans. I'd like to particularly
visit countries where the darker
races are in number. I would be
interested in making study OF
darker races in other countries.
10. Do you think a woman will
ever be president Of the U. s.?
Ans. She might. She'd at least do
as well as some of the men that
have been presidents.
II. Who is your favorite poet?
Ans. Paul Lawrence Dunbar.
IL. Do you like domestic ami
mails? Ans. Yes.
10. Do you think the Italo-
Ethiopian conflict has any marked
significance to the American Ne
gro? Ans. I don't think so.
Ii. Do you think the race is
holding its own economically?
Ans. Not during the depression.
Is. Do you believe in destiny?
Ans. I don't believe things are
just destined to be that way. I
think you have to work for what
ever you get.

Afghan Hound Is One of
Rarest Dogs In Country

The Afghan hound, sometimes
called Barukhzy, Is counted among
the rarest breeds In this country,
says a writer in the Los Angeles
Times.
There are records in the British
museum declaring the breed to be
the oldest domesticated dogs In ex-
istence. A cousin to the Saluki,
but somewhat heavier and larger,
the Afghan was bred and owned
by only the royal and ancient fam
lilies in Asia and Egypt. Due to abil-
tiles to hunt and kill, they were
closely guarded, and their appear
ance is still the same as in olden
times. Brought to England during
the period Of the Crusades, it is
thought they are the origin Of all
racing breeds, such as greyhounds.
Companions Of Pharaohs and
sheiks, in company with the Saluh,
they are often found embalmed In
the tombs Of the great. Since the
Moslems believed dogs unclean,
these animals were not considered
dogs, but Afghans.
They hunt in pairs, the dog
making the attack and his mate
the kill. Leopards, the fox and the
deer were the common prey. Lack
ing the material to supply the hunt,
his place in this country is Just
that Of any other breed, a COM
panion to man. He is faithful af-
fectionate, a wonderful guard, and
gentle with children.

". Simeon BIessed Joseph and

~. simeon Blessed Joseph and
Mary.
The revelation through Simeon
caused them to marvel. To have
such wonderful predictions made
concerning their Babe filed them
with amazement. His blessing con-
tanned wonderful and even dark
words of prophecy.
1. "This child Is set for the fall
and rising again Of many in Israel"
This means that Christ was to be
a touchstone-destiny would be de-
termined by the attitude Of the peo-
pie toward him. How definitely this
has been fulfilled in the experience
Of that people!
2. "a sign which shall be spoken
against" This had definite fulfill
ment in Israel and is being fulfilled
today among many peoples.
8. A sword was to pierce Mary's
soul. This perhaps refers to her
suffering as she entered into SYM
pathy with his unutterable suffer-
ing as he went to the cross, and her
desolation afterward.
