SERMONETTE
(by Rev. 0. J. Burckhardt)
Subject ‘ What Man Lost by
The Fall.”
If you study your Bible closely,
you will discover that man lost 7
things by the fall. 1st, when man
sinned, lie lost his original right
eousness. 2nd, he lost his home in
the Garden of Eden, 3rd. he lost
his right to the tree of life. 4th
he lost his life and his body began
to return to dust, Gen. 3-19; 5th
he lost dominion over the earth,
and became Satan’s servant, Rom.
6-16; 6th he lost the privilege of
communing with God face to face;
7th In* lost his robe of glory which
served as a covering, Gen. 3-7.
Xow if ( hrist saves and restor
es to man that which was lost by
the fall. It is self evident that he
must first save him from his.sins,
thereby restoring hack to the way
of righteousness. Man must be re
ston'd to life by the ressurection
of the body wrich will return to
dust, and then be resurrected and I
permitted to enjoy every blessing I
which was lost as a consequence !
of the Fall.

INEQUALITY IN SUPPORT OF
NEGRO MINISTERS
by R. A. Adams
(The Literary Service Bureau)
This has special reference to
Negro Methodist churches in
which bishops, high officials and
a few “big pastors” receive sal
aries out of proportion to what
is received by the pastors, in gen
eral. Not only is this so but
many of these pastors and their
families lack even meagre suppl
ies for their actual necessities.
In many cases, the salary of a
Negro bishop will aggregate more
than that of a dozen pastors on
small charges. And some of the
pastors who are favorites receive
from $2,000 to $5,000 per year,
while there are just hundreds of
pastors, who do not receive $400
per year. Quite a number of
these small charge pastors are ed
ucated and many of them have
extensive experience but preju
dice and persecution have kept
them back.
The tragedy of it is that these
suffering ministers struggle and
sacrifice to raise the money with
which those big salaries are paid:
the system extant forces them to
“produce” or step aside for those
who will. So this is a case where
it might be well to quote, “Do not
muzzle the ox that treads out the
corn.”
Iii fin annual conference one of
these “big pastors” boasted that
he had received $3,600 for a years
salary. In addition the Church
had supplied house rent, fuel, tel
ephone. etc. In this same confer
ence were ministers as well pre
pared as this one, and with bet
ter reputations, by far, whose
families had fared very poorily.
Some of them had eked out an ex
istence on three hundred dollars.
These are inequities that should
be adjusted by adoption of a bud
get system, requiring each pastor
to raise his quota for ministerial
support in his conference, and
then making an equitable apport
ionment among the ministers
so that one will not be surfeited
while the another is famishing.
And the salaries of bishops and
high officials should be reduced
to a reasonable and an equitable
level.

COFFEE GRINDERS
Coffee grinders are indispens
able if consumers do not us cof
fee fast enough to dispose of a
pound of freshly ground coffee in
less than a week if one desires to
save money by using freshly roast
ed bean coffee which is much
cheaper per pound than the ex
pensive vacum packed brands, an
if one is particular about having
the fine flavor and aroma of
freshly ground, coffee.
The best coffee grinders are
those of foreign make, preferably
French or German grinders of
the type held in the lap. Amer
ican grinders are of poorer work
manship and grinding capacity.
Fine grinding saves at least 40
per cent of coffee value. A real
good grinder should grind coffee
as fine as the grocer’s power
grinder. Always test your grind
er before taking it out of the
store.
These good foreign coffee
grinders can be obtained from old
fashioned furnishing stores, spec
ializing in un-advertised eoods.
such as Hammaeher & Schlemmer
133 Fourth Avenue, and Charles

GEORGE S. SCHUYLER
VISITS >. CINCINNATI
Entertained by Co-op Societies
Cincinnati, Ohio., The Cincin
nati Cooperative Society and the
Workingmen’s Cooperative Soc
iety turned out en masse here Fri
day evening, August 5th, to.greet
George S. Schuyler, well known
lecturer and author and now
President of the Young Negroes'
Cooperative League.
With Mr. Schuyler delivering
the main address, a program of
music and dramatic readings, fea
turing the younger members of
the two societies, and supplement
ed by short talks from Mr. Chance
President of the Consumers’ Co
operative Society, and Mr. Reese
President of the Workingmen’s
Cooperative Society, was enthus
iastically received by an audience
of some 150 persons.
Both of these organizations are
engaged in constructive program.
The Working men’s group, has a
small store and the Consumer’s
are supplying about sixty famil
ies with grocieries which is trans
ported on the society’s own auto
mobile trailer.
The burden of Mr. Schuyler's
message was to urge both groups
to unite their separate efforts into
a larger venture. Such advice
was favorably received.
‘Randolph’s Speech
(Continued from last week)
The average of 50 leading in- j
dustrial stocks at the highest fig- j
are reached in 1929 was 252.8 j
these stocks declined to 38.3 the
first part 1932. Twenty leading
rail stocks declined from 167.-8 in
1929 to 14.4 in 1932. Twenty
leading utility stocks declined
from 34.3 in 1929 to 6.03 in 1932. |
Wheat cash at Chicago average I
all classes and grades was $1.34 I
in 1929 and declined to .594 in j
may 1932. Cotton averaged 19.33
in 1929 and declined to 5.59 in
1932 Steers, averaged 14.78 in
1929 and 6.49 in 1932. These fig
ures were given by the bureau of
agricultural economics. In per
centages these figures mean that
leading industrial stocks declined
85 per cent, rail stocks 91 per
cent, utility stocks 83 per cent,
while wheat declined 55 per cent,
cotton 71 per cent and steers 56.1
per cent. In other words, the de
flation has hit stock exchange
prices a great deal larger than it
has hit farm prices. This is uo
particular comfort, perhaps, to
the men on the farms who are not
able to obtain prices for their
crops that measure the cost of
production. Hut it is of some in
terest. to know that in this coun
try when any one class goes down
all the rest go down too. We are
all in the same boat. That fact
ought to make us charitable to
one another.
It is said that tnere is a record
breaking peace time deficit of
2,885 millions of dollars. It
shows that the government spent
more than five millions of dol
lars last year, although its re
ceipts were only in excess of two
billion dollars. It shows further
that the deficit of the preceding
fiscal year of 1931 was 903 miil
lion dollars. For the last two and
one half years banks have been
failing by the thousands, insolv
encies ocenred by the tens of
thousands scores of thousands of
farm and urban homes were lost
by foreclosures, agriculture was
bankrupted, and millions upon
millions of honest, industrious cit
izens were thrown out of employ
ment and had no means to support
themselves.
It has been said that to re
peal the 18th Amendment will
bring back good times, but that
does not seem to be logical, in
view of the fact you have had
fourteen other depressions when
the 18th amendment was not re
pealed. I don’t say this as any
indication on my part. T reallw
believe that some method should
be adopted which would regulate
the sale of certain alcholic bever
ages. which in a way will rectify
the great evils in this country.
The Democrats will tell' you
that reduction of tariffs will help
rectify conditions. This is known i
as “a competitive tariff”.. This
is not logical. England has free
(Tariff) yet England has been hit
harder than America by the de
pression. The democratic atti
tude, is simple, understandable,
and sound. It calls for the reduc
tion of tariff walls both at home
and abroad, to be effected bv ne
gotiations and agreement, for the
purpose of relieving commerce of
its chains, opening markets that
are closed, stimulating product
ion. putting idle men to work, re
storing the solvency of the debtor
and so giving value to the just |
claims of the creditor. It has been
said that an increase in product
ion would help solve the prob
lem. T^is is not logical. To
produce more good than we can
use is not a just cause. We are
now producing more goods than
we can consume, it is impossible
to negotiate with the foreign mar
kets. The Federal Farm Board
had at one time over 1,250 bushels
of wheat, bolding off market for
the purpose of reducing the mar
kets. When there are over one
million in the bread line, plenty
of wheat, but the people connot
buy it; w’hen sales stop, you are
going to have production stopped
and when productions stop, less
people will be employed. Why
have we produced more goods
than we consume? It is because
the workers are not receiving the
wages that will permit them to
buy. The average wage earner
in New York is $18.00 per week.
President Hoover called a confer
ence at w’hich time it was agreed
that there w’ould be no slashing
of wages. It wasn't very long be
fore the railroad companies be
gan slashing wages. Therefore
the American Federation of Labor
has taken steps for a sound meth-1
od of meeting the conditions of
unemployed by reducing the
hours of the workers, the four
brotherhoods have adopted the
six hour a day schedule, and
many employers the 8 hour. The
Pullman porters are making over
400 hours a month. If they had
the 8 hour basis there would not ■
have been one furlough. The A. j
r. ot lj. came out for five days a I
week. Some of the employers'
have adopted the same. The A.
F. of L. has also presented an in
junction against child labor
which will make it possible for
adults to get work. These are
some of the remedies, but how are
we going to get them. It is not
enough to say we want the five
days a week or 8 hours h day,
what method are you going to a
dopt to secure better times. It
is said that socialism or social
needs in the legislation. This is
known as “Socialized Capitalism”
Albert G. Milbank, chairman of
the board of a great industry and
philanthropist, sets fourth foun
'dation principles on which to
build an improvised economic
social order. Socialism in its
extreme form destroys some of
the finest and most useful qualit
ies in the individual.” On the
other hand, capitalism in its ex
treme form, makes the individual
a predatory animal, rather than a
social being. His proposals look
to the rehabilitation of capital
ism, stabilization and socialization
of industry. By socialization,
does not mean nationalization, it
is a wider adoption of measures
already approved by the success
of voluntary and public co-oper
ation in programs for the promo
tion of health, welfare of child
ren and for protection against evil
days of old age and unemploy
ment. Through such united en
terprise private investments in
the social field have maintained
their value and continue to pay
dividends in terms of human
health in contrast with the de
pression and sorry spectacle in
the world of crumbling prices.
By contrast the business leader
who forgets that his very position
imposes upon him a fiduciary re
sponsibliity becomes a threat to!
the economic order upon the
maintainence of which the suc
cess of the whole capitalistic sys
tem depends.
In 1914 the Pullman conductors
receive $60.00 per month today
they receive $150.00 as a minimum
this increase in wages was brought
about by organization, there is
much power in organization. You
are not divided, instead you pull
together and are able to exact.
You can only take what you have
power and no more, when you are
not organized any group of peo
ple can take advantage of you.
You cannot depend upon certain
elements of charity. You must
be organized and this is power.
People are weak, because thev
lack organization.

A TRUE STORY OF TWO
WHITE RATS NAMED IKE
AND MIKE
(by The Visiting Nurse Ass’n.)
o---— o
IKE and MIKE were twins.
They were both fine, perfectly
well rats.' They weighed exactly
the same at birth. They lived ex
actly alike, except for just one
thing: that was their food.
Everyday Ike ate as much as
he wanted of beefsteak, potatoes,
beans, bacon, peas, beets, turnips,
white bread, cornmeal. Should
not you think that a good meal
for anyone? And surely you
should expect Ike to grow big and
strong with all those good things
to eat!!!
Everyday Mike ate as much as
he wanted of beefsteak, potatoes,
beans, bacon, peas, beets, turnips,
white bread cornmeal and MILK.
Do you see the one food Mike
had which Ike didn’t have? Do
you think that made any differ
ence? Well, let us see.
At the end of four weeks, this
is what Ike and Mike looked like.
Ike weighed just a little more
than when he was born.
Mike weighed 3 times as much
as he did when he was born.
Ike’s fur was rough and shaggy
his eyes were dull; he was so
weak he could scarcely walk.
Mike’s fur was smooth and
shiny; his eyes were bright: and i
he was perfectly well and played
happily.
Ike’s teeth were soft and had !
many holes in them.
Mike’s teeth were strong and
white; they had no holes in them.
Ike's bones were soft, dark.j
and easily broken.
Mike’s bones were hard, white j
snd very, very strong.
And MTLK was the only thing

that made the difference!!!
Did you ever think that MILK
t is so important as this? What
is true of these two rats is true
of our children—to grow strong
and he well, the child Must Have
MILK Every Day just as Mike
had. No other food can take the
place of milk for the growing
child.
The unsweetened canned milk
will make our children grow big
and strong just the same as fresh
milk will Vo. Sometimes you can
buy canned milk for less money
than you can buy fresh milk.
How' much should we spend for
milk? If we cannot buy plenty
of fresh vegetables and fruits,
then we should spend between one
third and one hafT of the total
food allowance for milk; if we
can have plenty of vegetables and
fruits, then we should spend
never less than one fifth of all our
food money for milk. An easy
rule to remember is:
The LESS money there is to
spend for food, the MORE we
should spend for MILK. Ten
cents spent for milk will purchase
more of the things the child’s
body needs to grow big and
strong than ten cents for any
thing else. Nothing will take the
plaee of milk for the growing
children.
In times of Unemployment
when money is very, very scarce
and it becomes necessary to give
up many foods you have always
been accustomed to have, re
member that your children will
suffer the least if MTLK remains
their principal food. Let us
profit by the story of Ike and
Mike.
