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.

Yes I agree xvith Mr. Merle Thorpe
writer of he article that "Tomorrow
must find Amer ica freer o f the fog.”
But wc do not mean the same kind of
fog. 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

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

and earn and save” .
The workers are gradually learning

Services Sunday were a real spiri
tual blessing
The attendance was
good at both the morning and even
ing services.
l)r. 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”

ing selected as including the bulk of
the Negro population and represent
ing the Negro race in its more norm
al environment. For some purposes
data for more Northern States has
been presented
A Brief outline of the data is as
follows;
(1) The distribution and increase
of the Negro population in the U. S.
(2) Birth rate by States (1920)
based on the female population 15-
44 years of age.
(3) Mortality from all causes, spe
cific for color, age, urban and rural
areas of separate States, 1920.
(4) Mortality front important cau
ses by color and at different ages,
including such causes as pulmonary
tuberculosis,
pneumonia,
organic
heart disease, acute nephritis and
bright’s disease, cancer, diphthrria,
Sunday morning, the service wa*
well attended and all prtsent enjoy
ed the service. 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

Attention has been called to those

to the white at the present time, and
which offer a wide field to those in
public health work who are interest
