right side. 1t used to be there
were two sides to a tale, but today
there are three sides, your side,
the other side and the right side.
In the Hayden affair, the people
have made it their affair and en-
tered the church in it. There are
not ten people who believe the
same way. There are those who
would choose to disrupt the prog
ress of the church building and
start any malicious gossip and
Satan is ever on the job to win a
destructive battle.
After a minister has remained
three years, there are those office
seekers who in some underhanded
way start some sort of rumor to
divide the church and at confer
ence time, we are in such a mud
die, we don't know what we are
doing. The same thing happened
with the preceding pastor at the
St. James Church. When asked
what that trouble was, all they
could say is 1--WE need change"
Now after three years they are
saying just about everything with
out any proof whatsoever. The
women say Mrs. Hayden should
talk. That's because she out
smarted them and they did not
have a chance to cruelty her as
they surely would have. Those
who are asking for Mrs. Hayden's
side only display their ignorance.
Her side is personal and personal
explanations belong only to her
husband and the court. Such fool
ish people!
Half the people don't know the
truth but as a member of the Of
hclal family, l am OF authority to
be acquainted with some of the
important angles and had Rev.
Hayden not entrusted his business
to his so-called Christian brethren
and Judases, the gossip would not
have escaped.
l am on no side. l stand alone
and ask by the help of God to
speak as I feel, regardless of
whom it displeases. This being
a free country that is everyone's
privilege, if we have the courage
to do so.

Editor:
1 have observed that all our
colored churches are ruled by our
so-called higher-ups of said
churches who look down upon such
worshippers who dare go to prayer
meetings and who give vent to
their spiritual feeling by shouting
out saying, Amen!
Since religion is the same today,
as yesterday, and prayers helped
our forefathers to the extent that
we are reaping the harvest today,
why do we choose to be hypocriti-
cal and expect our churches to sue
coed? Until we get back to the
old landmark and let prayers be
our backbone instead of lies and
deceit our churches cannot sue
coed. We, as individuals, should
be stricken by our own consciences
and stand for what we have con-
viction is right, regardless of what
the other person may say. We
are too easily won over to have
our minds changed. Satan is a
cunning fellow and that is his
business to convince you you are
right when wrong. But earnest
conscientious prayer can always
give us a clear mind to look at the

Smiles
By Horace Allen

ny horace AlltH
Our stay on earth is very short
When measured out in years,
So we should do our level best
To scatter smiles, not tears.
There are so many little things
That can bring a smile;
Love and friendship, faithfulness
Make a life worth while.
Smiles light the universe,
Make a sad heart sing,
Chase doubt and fear away,
Brighten everything.
Though you may cause a friend
To doubt you for while,
You know you're back in their
esteem,
When greeted with a smile.

Rev. Grant Bottoms, the local
pastor at Louisiana, Missouri, of
the Church of God in Christ, guilty
of loud and boisterous hallooing,
yelling, and screaming, by which
the peace of the citizens of the
City of Louisiana was disturbed.
The alleged offense was COM
mitted during the course of a re-
ligious service, attended by fifteen
of his little flock, commencing at
7 o'clock and ending about 9:20 of
the same evening.
The particular conduct said to
have disturbed the peace of the
good citizens of Louisiana was his
shouting Amen" "Praise God"
"Halleluja" throughout the service,
in a tone which was actually heard
by certain persons at a distance
of two blocks from the church,
others said he could be heard at a
distance of six blocks.
This meeting was attended by
100 white people, including two
police officers and on other SINH
lar occasions as many as 300 white
people were in and about the
grounds of the church.
The two police officers, who
testified in the case, called by the
city were among those whose curl
osity had prompted them to be
present at the service.
The Supreme Court in rendering
it's decision said in so many words
that they could not regulate the
volume of sound that may be en-
ployed in a lawfully conducted
church service; whether it be of
lowly Negro congregation,
housed in temporary frame shack
on the outskirts of the town or of
a fashionable white congregation,
assembled together in a beautiful
edifce in an exclusive district.

Be more daring than devout;
Is one way for me to see
The overcoming of any fragrant
doubt.
Open my eyes to visions clear,
With beauty, and with wonder lit,
So l can always see what's dear
Being active, not always ready to
sit.
Open my ears to music; let
Me thrill when your praise is sung,
But forbade me to never forget
Why Christ was ever hung.
Give me strength to run the race,
Let me never discouraged be,
For l want my proper place
When l overcome so much of me.

Topeka, Kans., Jan. 30- (UP) - Republicans saw today in speech of their congressional floor leader the keynote of their 1940 presiden- tial campaign.
 Rep. Joseph w. Martin of Massa- chusetts, Republican house leader, told a Kansas day banquet and a nation wide radio audience that the G. O. P. must maintain neutral ity, eliminate unnecessary public spending and revise the federal tax structure.
 The banquet, celebrating the 79th anniversary of Kansas admission to the union, was attended by Na- tional Committee Chairman John D. M. Hamilton and the 1886 presi- dential candidate. Ali M. Landon.
 Also present were representatives of the clubs boosting Thomas E. Dewey, of New York and Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan for the Republican presidential nomination. Both hope to swing Kansas national convention dele gates.
 Martin, a "darkhouse" possibility for the nomination, said the Repub- lican program in event of victory in November should follow the re- covery platform suggested by min ority house members last spring. He restated its 12 points:
 1. Keep this country out of war;
 g.. Move immediately to curb unnecessary, wasteful and reckless spending"
 3. Repeal all "repressive or har- assing" taxes restraining business;
 4. Revise the remainder of the federal tax structure to eliminate or modify provisions retarding business recovery;
 5. Repeal the presidents discre- tionary monetary authority;
 6. Amend the National Labor Relations act to clairfy the mutual obligations of worker and employer, and the duties of both toward the public;
 2. Define specifically the area of governmental competition with prl- vate enterprise;
 8. Restore American markets to the American farmer and wage ear ner and develop new markets for agricultural products"
