SON OF Jackson, Miss, April 3Oth.
Each of these brought very helpful
messages to our Sunday-school.
On July %, %, 80, the Sunday
school sent five delegates to the State
Convention. During the three days
session the Sunday-school had charge
of the refreshment booth, turning over
to the Sunday-school Treasury $500
over expenses.
The Supt. had an active part in the
Annual Union Picnic which was held
at Como Park, St. Paul, Mimi, July
10th, our school paying for gallons
Of ice cream.
During the year the Sunday-school
has turned over to the Church the sum
Of $1,000. For chartered bus, $40,
for Easter palms $3.50, for the Pas
tors Annual Reception $3.50. We have
ordered and paid for cash for Sunday
school literature and program mater
ials. We have adopted the picture roll
study and the hand work for the pri-
mary department. The Christmas
offering system carried on each Sun
day has proven a real asset to our
work. 1t provides fund to take care
of our expenses at Christmas time.
We started thirty-five children and
now we have an enrolment of seven
ty-five. Our children have been
trained to greet the Pastor pleasantly
when he enters the School room by
saying in unison Good morning Rev.
Wadfngton." ..
The personal work of the Supt. for
the year has been to canvas the COM
munity, finding children who do not
attend any Sunday School, and the re-
suits of the special work have added
ten children to the Sunday School roll.
The adult department OF our Sunday
School has been attended we'll during
the past year.
Perhaps the most outstanding event
of the year, and what l consider the
most beautiful picture, was that which
took place on Sunday, March 18th,
when the Pastor, Rev. Warrington,
stood at the altar embracing eleven
children in his arms and placing his
Hands upon their heads, asked Gods
blessings upon them, as they had pro-
fessed their love for Jesus Christ and
their desire to unite with the church.
/ wish in closing to express my ap-
probation to the Pastor and his wife
for their support, cooperation and en-
which they gave me dur
ing the past year. Also to the officers
and teachers who have helped to bring
about the progress of the Sunday
School.

Restaurant Runor

The story of Divine's plan to sail be-
gan in one of his peace" restaurants
en- Lenox avenue. A reporter assigned
there overheard one of the chief at
tendants tell higher up that Di inc
was positively sailing and that his fol-
lowers were worried because of that
fact
Those who follow Divine feel that
his presence is needed in their midst
at all times in order that they might
enjoy the fruits of his blessings.
Divine has not been seen on the
streets of Harlem i'm many weeks
now, which is unusual Generally
those who care to look can see him
leaving one of his missions daily,
either for a ride or on trips around
the circuit of his many headquarters.
Despite the fact that the god" is
reported missing, the rumor still per-
sists that he is negotiating a big deal
that would give him a 19-story struc-
ture as a main office. The building is
now run as the Teresa hotel located on
Seventh avenue at l25th street.

CALIFORNIA PUBLISHER
Edward Grubbs

Editor and Publisher of the Silhou-
cite Pictorial magazine, 655 N. Broad
way, Los Angeles, "the aristocrat of
publications" Mr. Grubbs, only Ne
. gro proprietor of an engraving plant
on the West Coast, was born in San
Francisco Al years ago, and has lived
in Sacramento and Santa Cruz. At an
early age Mr.. Grubbs got an apprent-
ice job in an engraving plant and
learned the trade. In 1921 he moved
to Los Angeles and worked for nine
years in white engraving plants as an
ergraver, getting special experience in
moving picture engraving. In 1880
Mr.. Grubbs established the Acacia En-

There was no distinction made in
the giving of state jobs under the ad-
ministration of Farmer-Labor Cover
nor Elmer A. Benson" Thomas said.
"But the Republican administration OF
Governor Harold Stassen in spite of
its promises to give jobs to Negroes,
fired practically every member of my
race holding office jobs in the state
capitol
Zone Negro has been hired under
the new regime--a janitsr in the high
way department"
"The cruel cuts in Minnesota re-
lief" Thomas said, "have decreased
the already low living standards Of
Minnesota's 5000 Negroes to a be-
low health level. We feel that through
the New Deal and its agencies such
as WPA, NYA, and the CCC, real
effort has been made to bring the liv-
ing standards of Americas 100000
Negroes to the same levels as those OF
the rest of the population"
This should put Minnesota behind
the eight ball.
Released as a news item to some
one hundred and seventy five Negro
papers, the impression might go out
that things are not so hot, which may
be all right, but why not stick to facts
Minnesota has population of nine
thousand, not all of them are on re-
lief, a great many of them never will
be.
No doubt those who have missed
the economic storm of the past seven
years will resent the implication.
The loss of jobs by Negroes under
the new regime was not entailed
through race discrimination, but rather
because of the old political rule that
, to the victor belongs the spoils.
Negroes went Benson in a big way
the last election, which was their
right. But, we do wish to correct the
impression that all of the ills that arose
from betting on the wrong horse were
personal or even racial. ~
Fer the first time in history, you
would have to seine Minnesota with a
,, minnow net to find any Republicans
of 1898, and the few that remained in
the ranks have no aggressive leader
ship to secure the jobs that might be
doled out to them.
Cuts in relief while cruel, are as
much federal proposition as a state
one. Surveys show that living stan
dards among Negroes of Minnesota
are highest of anywhere in the United
States.
We still have faith in Minnesota.
Facts tell us that faith is justified.

There is a term in the English Ian
guage, the use of which has always
seemed to me to be most unkind, most
discriminating, presumptuous and
most pathetic 1t is the term fallen
woman.
1t is unkind because it singles out
the situation into. which many of our
sisters and our daughters are segre-
gated by the so-called righteous sec
! ton of society; it is discriminating and
presumptuous because it suggests that
the rest of Gods sons and daughters
are not fallen, and it is pathetic be-
cause the group thus called and thus
set apart often represents the most
affectionate natures of our lovely
girls.
My prelude has no brief for sin,
whether of the flesh or of the spirit,
altho in passing, if there is any degree
at all, it seems to me that mental and
spiritual sin is infinitely more damn
| ing than sins of the physical appetite,
such, for example, as drink, dancing
/ and the like.
/ Restricting myself to what we, call
the social evil" let me say that my
observation and study of this sad
problem has revealed two outstanding
reasons why our sisters Ego wrong"
as we say.
The first one is disappointed love,
the second is poverty.
A most normal need of the human
heart is love and fellowship. The most
pathetic picture in a large city is the
stream of human life in the unfulfilled
quest for love and companionship.
Believe it or not, it is love, not lust
that is at the bottom of the sexua
urge in men and women 1t may enc
in lust, but it begins in love.

Wheat Raised In
1891 At LOrndale
Is Jubilee Relic

A jar of wheat, raised by
Thomas Mckay at his Lorndale
Farm near Delhi in 1891, is the
first article of historic interest to
be received by the Diamond Jubi-
lee committee for display in Red
wood Falls during the event in
August.
The grain is sample of the
first crop after Mr.. Mckay broke
the prairie. on, his homestead in
1890.
'The kernels are larger than
those we see nowadays" George
A. Patton, Redwood Falls grain
man, said on examination of the
relic.
The container itself is interest
ing, undoubtedly a forerunner of
the familiar Mason jar. Mrs. Nc
Kay who brought it in, said the
glass was considered the best of
its kind in those days.
The producers son, Irwin, now
operates Lorndale, but he hasn't
raised wheat since the depression
year when the family took it to
the mill to be ground for their
own flour.
Original Lorndale wheat is on
display at the Gazette office. BY
next week the committee will
have made arrangements for a
place in which to store it and
other reminders of the past, until
the Jubilee.

COUNCIL REVIEWS
WATERWORKS BIDS
ISSUES PERMITS FOR
REMODELING; OIL
STATION PIPES

In session which lasted be-
yond midnight, the Redwood Falls
city council Monday night recon-
sidered bids for a chlorinator and
ammoniator for the new city re-
servoir.
The original bid of the Everson
company, although the lowest,
had not been acted upon because
the company did not present
the required approval of the
state board of health. At this
weeks meeting, however, a re-
preventative of the firm announc-
ed that the health boards approx
al had been obtained and city Of
ficials are now awaiting instruc-
tons from PWA headquarters in
Omaha before taking final action.
A permit was granted Mer-
ton Heath for the alteration of the
Pentony house in the south side
of the city and another for
the laying of pipes in conjunction
with the construction of a new
oil station. Application for a per-
NIT by Clarence Sather for the
remodeling of the former Backus
Sweet shop was also considered.
