PAUL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty-Bixth and Seward Streets— Rev. Russel Taylor, Pastor. It is the purpose of the pastor at St. Paul's to keep before his people questions of vital importance. He feels called to discuss fearlessly the matters that make for racial as well as individual betterment. The king dom of heaven at hand is what he de sires this generation to be interested in more than the pearly gates above and the golden streets up there. In keeping with thiB thought, and in view of the fact that homicides are becoming so common—of the fact that at the very hours the pastors of the churches are proclaiming the truths of God’s word, almost in front of the door of the church some life is being taken, the sermon topic Sunday morn ing will be, “Thou Shalt Not Kill”. There was a commendable increase in the attendance at the evening serv ices Sunday and the discussion was interesting. The topic next Sunday evening will be: “Why Do We Believe That Jesus Christ Is the Son of God?” John 20:24-31. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH m Dr. W. F. Botts, Pastor.

WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY Summertime Spendthriftnens A PRODIGAL WASTE of money in the summertime is proverbial among colored people. Oh! when the sun shines on both sides of the streets, what do some of us care about jobs or anythiug else? But it should be borne in mind that the extravagance of the summer must be paid for in the cold of approaching winter. Few of us can forget the story of the grasshopper and the ant. When the winter pressed the grasshopper to starvation he visited the ant in quest of food. But the industrious little ant asked him what had he been doing all the summer. Whereupon the grass hopper said that he had been dancing and singing the whole summer long The ant informed the grasshopper that he had been at work laying up something for the rainy days and the cold wintertime . Now, said he, go and sing and dance! In other words, the ant did not give his distressful begging a passing notice. With lots of our people, the sum mer is only a time in which to dance and sing. They forget that all over these fields where the royal violets and the wild flowers are blooming, that the killing snow and ice will hold complete and undisputed control. Of course we do not need to bum coal now, but we need to buy it now so we may have it to bum in the coming winter. Of course we do not need to buy so many heavy clothing now to wear in summer, but we will need them only in a very short while. I,et us cut down on so many auto mobile sprees to the country and joy riding in the summer. The Ten Dol lars spent this week in mere pleasure riding could put a ton of coal in the cellar. The money spent carelessly on a day’s questionable excursion to some summer place, could keep one from having to be a beggar and bor rower next winter. Think on these things!
