Observes 22nd Anniversary
The Fargo Agricultural School
celebrated its 22nd Anniversary,
Thanksgiving Day, with leading
educators throughout the state as
special guests. Principal speaker
on the elaborate program was Mrs.
John Kahn of Pine Bluff, president
of Colored Women's Federation
Clubs of Arkansas.
The progress of the Fargo Agri-
cultural School has been shown
since the school opened when
President Floyd Brown, graduate
of Tuskegec Institute, came to this
community and opened the school
with seven pupils and one tsach-
or. Today the school has two hun
bred students enrolled and IL
teachers employed. Sixteen frame
buildings are in use and the farm
consists of three hundred and fifty
acres of land. The school is now
valued at 100000. Pres. Brown
contributes much of the success
Of the school to the untiring Ell
iorts of his wife and the loyalty
OF friends Of both races. He en-
phasizes to the students that those
who are privileged to receive an
education shoaM return ITO tAe ru-

sent, and if conditions are not
what they should be, they should
help to make them batter; and if
education does not mean to do this,
much money and time is lost.
The curriculum of the school is
to teach its students that any
worth while work well done, whe-
Their it is cooking good meal of
food or operating a successful
farm, is just as much education
as teaching a class.

Husband and Wife Often
Have Same Life Span

Sentimentalists believe that hus-
bands and wives get to look alike.
And some do. But only the most TO-
mantle sentimentalists suspected
that man and wife tend to die OF the
same non-infectious diseases. New
ertheless, this startling suggestion
was sprung recently in the formal
Proceedings Of the National Acad-
envy OF Sciences" by Statistician
Antonio Ciocco OF the u S. Public
Health Service.
Laboriously DR.. Ciocco examined
the death certificates OF ISL couples
who died non-accidentally in WASH
ington county, Md, during the years
1898 to 1888. His findings:
Husband and wife frequently have
the same life span. To explain this
fact, Dr. Ciocco was driven to
vague but understandable terms"
Marriage. said he, brings "pairings
of individuals having similar
degree of vitality or resistance to
fatal pathological processes. And
they both live in the same environ
ment.
There is a tendency for marital
partners to die from the same cause
when one Of the mates dies from
either tuberculosis, influenza and
pneumonia, cancer or heart dis.
eases"
II one partner suffers from rheu-
matte heart disease (Which doctors
suspect is infectious), the Other
might conceivably catch 1t. But most
other forms Of heart trouble are or
ganic, non-infectious. As far as doc
tors know, so Is cancer. Why hus-
bands and wives should suffer these
diseases together Is a great mystery.
DR.. Ciocco, who as statistician Is
no sentimentalist finds the mystery
Immediately discouraging."

ian Church.
Christ Outlin!s The Christian
Church
The Christian church wae. i
and will continue to be built by
Jesus Christ, through The 70
Of the Holy Spirit. The first time
the word Church" occurred in the
New Testament, it was spoken by
Christ himself, Matt. 16:l3-20. The
word Church" is written in the
New Testament "ekklesia," from
this word comes the word, "es-
clesiastical;" and is formed by two
Greek words, the one a preposi-
ton, eek" meaning out, or out of
The other a verb "kelo," meaning
to call out; then, we say the wor
means the one called out. This
no new word, however, it was
used by the Greek citizens as o
herald to call out the whole body
of citizens in city or state for the
, general discussion of business.
So, Christ borrowed this WORD
as it was familiar with them, to
use in calling out material for the
foundation and outlines Of His
church. In the Hebrew, the woru
is rendered. "kohal," having ref.
erence to community of Israelites
or the congregation itself, especial
ly in religious aspects as the peo-
pie Of God. In the Acts, the word
is used in two distinct senses, to
denote the body OF christians in a
particular place or district. The
other appears in the letter to the
seven churches. Paul used the
word to designate the church as
Christ's body, of which Christ Is
the head; and this is the sense in
which Christ means.
| Christ outlined and laid the
foundation of the Christian church
Immediately after the confession
of Simon Peter. "Peter itself means
rock" 1t was first to Peter Christ
mentioned the outlines of His
Church. But let US consider the
announcement was not to Peter
only and stop there, but through
Peter to the rest of the disciples,
and to the church universal. As
the Apostle Paul said. this thing
was net done in corner. Not only
THAT, is as applicable to any other
individual who has the same in
sight, and as true to his convict
ions as was Peter.
| The outlines of the Christian
Church are the revealed truth as
was promulgated by Peter, "thou
art the Christ, the son of the Liv-
ing God" This confession furnish
ed the foundation or building; and
Christ said, upon this rock l will
build My church" The rock is
the revealed truth about Chris
which is to be followed by all.
The Discipline of the Christian
Church
| Discipline means power and au.
thority. The power of the A. NJ
E. Church, OF any other church is
its discipline: the power of thu
