Sunday services at the A. M. E.:
church w ere cohducted by the pastor, j
Rev. M. C. Knight, who preached
morning and night. The Sunday j
school and A- C. E. Society being fair
ly attended; and, no doubt, warm
weather being the hinderance.
The N. A. A. C. P. held a meeting
at the Newman M. E. church Monday
night. Mr. Perry Warner of Omaha
spoke on his tour in Africa, most espe
cially the cities in Liberia. His nar
ratives on conditions are good in some
localities and bad in others, which
shows that progress toward civiliza
tion is not bo imperative as we have
heard other speakers tell. We fear
darkest Africa is far from being in
habited by the American-born Negro
as yet
Services at Mt. Zion Baptist church
were nicely attended Sunday. The
Sunday school and B. Y. P. U, serv
ices were held as usual. The pastor
preached interesting sermons during
the day. Some additions to the church.
The serving club made a nice report.
The Zion Baptist church will hold |
a picnic in F Street Park Saturday,
August 4th, beginning about noon.
A big time for everybody. Come out

How Birds Dlv# Aftsr Prey.
Many people th'nt that birds dive
directly oo to tha .-sL they wish to
capture, but if they did so they would
probably be kill ad. Nearly alt diving
birds enter the water some distance
from their prey, antKcapture them on
the upward glide, and not as they go

8T. 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

Dr. W. F. Botts, Pastor.
Don’t fail to remember the first an
nual Chautauqua given under the aus
pices of Zion Baptist church July 29th
to August fith, inclusive. Sunday,
July 29th, will be men’s day. Rev. G.
C. Chinn of Carrolton, Mo., will be the
speaker at the morning and evening
services.
Good educative programs will be
given each day and evening and spec
imens from every line of business con
dncted by our owm race will be ex
hibited throughout the entire week.
Don’t fail to attend!
EPISCOPAL CHCKCH OK
ST. PHILIP THE DEACON
The annual parish picnic held last
; Thursday afternoon at Elmwood park

joyed themselves. Good things to eat
were there in abundance.

Sunday with one exception. The ev
ening service will be discontinued un
til September. The hours of service
will be 7:30, 8:30, 10 and 11 a. m.
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! Let us put on the brakes.
