How anybody who lives in filth after listening
10 the ntonations Of the Divine leaders and dctng
nothing about the theory CLEANLINESS Is
NEXT TO GOODNESS" can get to Heaven h
more than shall think about! The presches are
woefully misleading in teaching the people, Tho
ra'nshackled churches which they pastor might we'll
be converted into decent nome! It might be q far
better EXAMPLE OF CHRISTIAN LIVING!

THE NEGRO RESTAURATEURS OUGHT REVIVE
an organization established some years ago when
Harold Flowers executive secretary of the
business league. This enthusiastic project was IN
dermned when the Trades and Industries leader
ship crept in for bit of glory and lust left the
poor people to themselves We were doing good
job but the T&I folks wanted something to renort
to their superors and when the reports were made
the interest was gone Such a pityl Oh God of
Mercy, when wilt thou save the people!n
WELL the BIG FOLKS still turning cut To the
big parties and entertainments for the visiting &C.
lebrihes! They come SO dressed up and with such
good manners. You'd actually think that the folks
who put up such FRONT might something
to the community. If you had had the folks who at
tended the MEET THE GUESTS PARTY at the
PERRYS the other night to see Billie Watson Whit
ley, of Louisville, and the WHALEYS of Chicago
at the Townsend Park Drive Sunday evening, we
would have had nice crowd and could have raised
more money but these people not all there
and some will never be there, BUT JUST GIVE A
PARTY!
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOME FOLKS
buy TWENTY DOLLARS worth cf WHISKEY
per week with children in the family and not be
able to see the NEED for SUBSTANTIAL GIFTS
to help raise up a GENERATION OF YOUNG
PEOPLE will know more about how to con-
less WNIsKEY! the Negro Heuor
dealers ought head the list in the drive develop
Townsend Park1 Thsis .inaction sussssAs that they
prefer the whiskey trade among the young folks
Well the community is hardly safe with the sober
fools much iess the drunk cues! hope my Mqu6f
dealers get MAD! ..-...........
WELL. until the quartet singers ga instilled
dig LITTLE DEEPER" PROMISE you THAT.
I'M GOING TO RUN MY MOUTH A PLENYyis
GIVE 10 TOWNSEND PARK SEND YoUR con.
