A right that is handed to ye fr nawthin' has somethin' the matter with it." —Mr. Dooley. OUR W H IT E FRIENDS It is a mighty unthoughtful, as well as unthankful colored man or woman who says that all white people are enemies of colored people. These who are guilty of making such re marks should be severely condemned. If it were not for the fact that we have many thouands of white friends, our lot would be a most miserable one. Have we not read of the millions of dollars that our white friends con tribute annually towards the educa tion of our group? Look at the white friends who are taking the lead in trying to bring about a better under standing between the white and col ored races. Thousands of our white friends are members of the N. A. A. C. P., an organization that is fighting for justice and equal rights for col ored people What would become of the masses of our group if our white friends did not give us an opportuni ty to earn a living, etc. When the question of enemies is boiled and stewed down to the bot tom, the colored people will realize that their gratest handicap and most harmful enemies to their progress and advancement, are to be found a- mong their own people.

His is the fog created by the camouflage smoke of Big Business which says that this nation is pros perous. My fog is the fog of despair that has settled down on this nation in its mad rush for money and pow er. Do not forget Mr. Thorpe, that while business is coning money into our millionaires’ pockets, the work ers who are producing the goods are unable to buy them. Do not be sur prised if he loses faith in you and your clients and turns to his own kind for an "opportunity to work and earn and save” . The workers are gradually learning the secret of cooperation—if they learn it as well in America as they | have in nations across the water, we will then acquire a real philosophy o f our own—“ that only he who FROCKS PRACTICAL AND earns shall eat.” SMART There will then be fewer Henry j Fords, fewer Rockerfellej-s, and all luthful, useful, ie costume to the rest of them.

Caston was ready to give the congregation something they had needed for a long time. His subject was, “ Filled with the Holy tihost". It was one you wont forget soon He said that the morning sermon was one he had worked up to since he had been here with us these few weeks "You may not agree with me on this sermon You ought to go home and fall on your knees and ask God to forgive you all your sins. I sm glad to see so many visitors pre sent I pray something may be said or done here this morning that will cause some one to fall out with the sinful world and find their Savior, Jesus Christ. "The early church was the church of Holy Ghost people; the church of today seems to be paralyzed If you are filled with the Hedy Ghost, you would reflect the likeness of l hnst. and he that resists least will be pos sessed most with the power of God “ There is no use waiting ten day*; the Holy Gho*t i* always waiting ’Ask and it shall be given’. The fruit* o f the Holy Spirit are love, joy, kind ness, peace, sacrifice, fidelty and ser vice to the upbuilding of all humanly The evening sermon was one that was on a subject fresh in the minds of the people, "Blood Money"—the Hickman murder. This case startled the whole Pacific coast as well as the civilized world Dr ( aston treated the subject ably I am sure all who heard tt went home heneiitted Two candidates for baptism were added to the church Sunday in the person* t-f Victoria Caston and Julia Mae Blanchard Mr Moy comes to the church on his Christian experi ence T o see the children lead out in the church reminds me of that pas sage of scriptufe, "And a tittle child shall lead them". The tears were ma ny and plenty weeping for joy. Rev Caston makes reply in answer to the training school. The school is open to all who wish to take up the work. It is not alone for Baptists but for the community. All other things too, which we attempt is for building up our race in this city that xvc might take our place with other citizens in making the community a clean, safe place in which to live. A united race for our safety. Rev Caston calls attention of the church members to the weekly meet ings, the wonderful prayer service You miss a wonderful treat when you miss these spiritual prayer ser vices. Another progressive step was tak en by the choir last Friday night at its meeting. Dr. Caston is advocating young blood in all the departments. Evan Porter, a young Christian man was e- lected president of the choir and Miss Barbara Hubbard, vice-presi dent Mrs. Estelle Culp was elected, secretary These young people are splendid musicians and should get the backing of the whole church Let us show them we appreciate their ef forts. Wake up church! Dr. J. A. Mcrriman gave a very in teresting. illustrated lecture preced ing the pastor's sermon on "Medici- cal Science"—healing of the body. This indeed, xvns worth the while. Why not an evening some future date and invite every one. We live to learn. Next Sunday morning, the pastor’s subject will be, "God and the Devil"; evening, "God and the Sinner” Portland’s Electrical Shopping Center The Portlnd Electric Power Company’s Home The Electric Building At Broadway and Alder Streets Is in the very heart of the business district.

The pastor spoke from the subtect, "The Blindness of the Pharisee"; text, Luke 7:39 He »aid. "The Pharisee showed, like some people today, a total ignorance of what »in i», and had no notion that such a sinful past can be obliter ated He also showed cynical con tempt for religious emotion. 1’lirse things keep more people from the Kingdom than any other thing " Sunday evening, the subject of the sermon was, "Seeming to Have", the text, "From him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have", Lube 8:18 Dr Moreland said: "There i* probably no one of us, in pew or pulpit, but is gixing himself credit for what he does not posse** 1 his subtle deception is due to inexperience, self love, and the pressure of the general life around us.” "There is always the danger , he continued, “ of mistaking for our own the support we get from the society wc move in And it i* only when that external pressure is removed that wc discover how wc only seemed to have Sooner or later as our life ad vance*. we shall have our eves open ed to these fond delusions."
