den of overweight? First, you are
imposing needless strain on your
vital organs. You are making it
harder for your heart, kidneys,

All, the poor feet! They are flat

You can't get into small seats

People avoid taking seats beside

Why not lay down that burden
of excess weight for good? 1t
will not be easy as putting aside

be that person you secretely dream

tiful, and she does not have to be
born with anything except deter

will ever know the difference.

cations be formed. A month later,
upon a call by the Virginia For
eign Mission society, 80 delegates
from southern churches met in
conference at Augusta, Ga. and
formed the now Southern Baptist
convention. The constitution of
the southern group was precisely
that of the General convention,
which later became known as the
Northrn Baptist convention. But
the division thus caused remained
until the present.
Now, the Southern Baptists are
ontheir way north" to put demo-
cracy to a test. In SO doing, the
affair will mark the first time
that many delegates from the
south will be seated inthe same
pews with Negroes. 1t has been a
matter of tradition that the two
races worship in separate church
es, not only in the south, but in
most northern churches.
Chicago Baptist leaders who will
participate in the rally include
the Rev. j. C. Austin, pastor of
Pilgrim Baptist church, delivering
the welcoming address and the
Rev. J. II. Jackson of Olivet Bap-
fist church. A 1000 voice Negro
choir will also participate.

Lay Down That
Burden of Excess
Weight !
By Eliza Arnold For AMP


Overweight is excess baggage.
Carrying 10, Is, or 20 pounds
over your ideal weight is just the
same as carrying around a 10, Is
or 20 pound suitcase everywhere
you go. Here is a little game that
will WILDLY bring home that fact
to you.
Send off to your state health
department or to any insurance
company for a height and weight
chart. Find out your average
weight based on your age and
height. Such figures are in no
sense absolute, but can serve as
a guide to either up or down and
still be on the safe side.
If, for example, you r a wo-
man of 40, five feet, five inches
tall with normal size bones and
frame, the chart will inform you
that you should weigh 1873 pounds.
Now see what the scales tell you.
If the scales say, for example,
that you weigh $50 pounds, then
you are carrying around a II
pound burden.
Pile up II pounds of books or
magazines. Pick up this II pounds
and hold it until you a feel the
strain on your arms. Look care
fully now before you put the bur-
den down. That is how much ex-
cess weight you are carrying a
round. That is the extra self your
have to deal with every waking
and sleeping moment.
What are some Of the effects

Southern White Baptists Invade
North For Interracial Meet
BY Rev. c. H. Milton


vention will make the trek to the
north to join the Northern Bap-
fist convention in sponsoring an
%interracial religious rally. In CO.
operation with the home mission
board ofthe National Baptist Con-
vention, u. S. A.. Inc, and it's
state unit, the Baptist State Con-
vention of Illinois, the meeting
will be held May IL in the histor-
ic Chicago Stadium.
The rally will be the main feat
ure ofthe Southern Baptists' Matt
onal conclave, the first ever held
in a northern city. It's invasion of
northern territory brings to mind
the early history ofthe beginnings
of the southern group.
AS far back as 1874, when both
the Southern and Northern Bap-
lists were banded into the General
Convention, there existed a per-
ptual state of internal dissention-
over the question Of slavery. That
one thing perhaps caused the
most bitter controversy within
the denomination. However, this
wa not peculiar to Baptists alone
since nearly every religious body
in America was at one time or
other rent over the same issue
and in most cases was visited upon
by permanent schisms.
With the Baptists, however, diff
ferences of opinion regarding the
slavery question appeared in the
minutes of their General conven-
ton for several years prior to the
final break = : which seemed to
reach an apex in 1914. The rela-
ton of slavery tothe churches in
the convention came up for thor
ough discussion at the annual con-
ference that year.
From the discussion, a resolu-
ton was drawn up and unani-
mously adopted. It read:
Resolved: that in cooperating
together as members of this on
vention in the work of foreign
missions, we disclaim all sanctions
either express or implied,
whether of slavery or anti-slav-
very; but as individuals, we are
free to express and to promote
elsewhere our views onthese sub
jets in a Christian spirit and
manner"
The convention voted that the
appointment Of missionaries by
the foreign mission board be con-,
tingent upon the provision that
''if a candidate had slaves and
should insist upon retaining them
as his property, we could not ap-
point him. One thing is certain,
can never be a party to an ar
rangement which would imply ap-
probation Of slavery" F..
In April, 1916. the American
Baptist Mission society, acting on
the refusal of southern members
to comply with this rule, adopted

news story was fatally injured
when playing in an alley where a
delivery truck backed into the
youngster, or when the child
chased a ball into the street and
under the wheels of an automobile.
The next day, remembering the
recent tragedy, you beg your child
as he goes lightheartedly off to
school or play, Nov don't play in
the alley" or Don't chase your
ball into the street" Then you
say silent prayer for his safety.
But are these short words of
caution enough to impress an en-
thusiastic child intent on play?
No. To provide him with maxi
mum safety against traffic acct
dents requires a program of de-
veloping traffic safety habits as
painstaking as teaching him to
walk or talk.
One mother has described how
she trained her child in traffic
safety in a recently published AAA
pamphlet Your Child and Traffic. "
She recommends that such train
ing begin with demonstration.
From the time your child first
notices things around him, he
should observe both of his parents

In conducting such traffic
safety program. one of your great
est problems may be the influence
of neighborhood children who run
carelessly into the street and per-
haps even call caution sissy" in
the fashion of children. If this
happens to be the case, try ap-
pealing to the neighborhood par
ents to instruct their children in
traffic safety so that the children
will influence one another favor
ably.
Your child faces many dangers
as he grows up and you will suffer
many moments of fear for him.
But by giving traffic safety III

deserves in his young life, you GER
