o'clock. Sunday evening the ia
nous La Moyne Debating team

Last Sunday was a historic day
for First Church when DR.. Hughes
and the attorney, John f. Reed,
announced to the congregation
that the bonded debt has at last
been liquidated, and the church is
free of this debt. AS the Minister
read the final release, and ex-
planned the procedure to the
church, the congregation burst into
song, Free at Last" that rang
with the relief from a burden that
had been too long borne. Although
Dr. Hughes has been in Seattle
little over three years, he has
been successful in that time in
clearing up the balance of the
$13, 900 debt that has been pend
ing for some fifteen years. The
church rejoices in its Pastor and
his accomplishments.

A Little Bit of
Everything
BY jacques b. ChappeII

By jacques II. Cndppeu
The World War the war to
end wars and TO definitely stamp
Democracy as the only kind of
government under which peoples
rights may be observed has led
straight TO the present situation
in Europe. Civilization as yet
has not and cannot reach its
peak under any circumstances
until the Negro Is given the
rights deereed upon him by the
Constitution nor until such
countries as Germany, Italy and
Russia are forced to admit the
falacies of their policies and
governments.
Eddie Anderson (Rochester)
of the Jack Benny Jello show is
rated as tops in the field of
comedy and why shouldn't he
his humor is equal to that of
the late Bert williams the "King
of Komedy" of the Ziegfield Fol-
lies.
It used TO be that men were
constantly running after wo-
mems hats on windy days but
that practice has somewhat
changed since the wind can get
no foot hold on what little hat
women wear so women should
turn to picking up mems hats
as a returned courtesy.
One of the duties of govern
ment officials at Washington,
ID. G. is to look under their beds
each night to see if they can't
find some spies in hiding.
1t is said that Utter bugs and
those who give out that stuff
called swing are not crazy but
that If you are it helps an awful
lots.
The younger generation mus
learn that the satisfaction of doing
something for yourself by secur
ing an education completely OF
partially paid By your o1O7t earn,
iags and by putting yoitr ol07s abil
ity to 1oork for some good fi,aa'a
ciaIy1 and spiritually they a0oult
soon learn that such satisfaction !,
as much more lasting pleasure
as any dance or motion picture
they might attend.
