the offering and announcements the
benediction was given.
Thursday Morning
The song and praise service prior
to the regulation session was con-
ducted by Sister Evangelists Spady
and Hammonton. The spiritual po-
tency still lives in the old songs of
Zion and are best expressed when
sung by those who have borne the
burden and heat of the day. The
testimonies of the tried and tested
ones were, as always, inspiring and

The plan to hold an exhibition de

progress in Detroit in 1940 meets witk
my full and unqualified approval.
No fair-minded American who sin-
cerely believes in the fundamental prin-

opportunity—can deny that the forward
strides made by the Negro since eman-
cipation are among the most eloquent
examples of what can be accomplished
in a free and liberal country.
His record is all the more inspiring
because it has been achieved in the face
of the obstacles born of racial differ-
ences. For although as a nation we
are devoted to the ideal of freedom and
liberty for all regardless of
creed, we still have among us forms of
discrimination and some denial of liber-
ties. In time these will be lessened and

‘As I read the daily and weekly

the daily this arch criminal, and
‘enemy to progress, happiness, fellow-

affairs of the human family he has so
completely covered his slimy tracks
that, in this day it is difficult for men
to understand and appreciate the enor-

mean to be COVETOUS? It means
to have and indulge in an inordinate

Christians to live in such an environ-

rampant, slimy, snarling universial
spirit of wickedness as it is to live in
this world and escape the effect of

that is “Gun shie” with SELFISH-

the dissatigfactions which occured in
