It is not unusual to hear, “No, mother; it was this way;” and “She didn’t say that; she said this.” In other years the penalty for this conduct would be a “back-hand lick,” and a dismissal from the company And it would mean a “dressing” af ter the company had gone- Yes, child ren of today are more; enlightened: than were ‘their parents and their grand parents; but, in manners, they J are yet decades behind. A WORM IS TURNING Millions of investors injured by political horse-play are going to fight for their savings.

But little care those whose r>uty it is to improve th so conditions, i ‘ they refer to colored youth- Seeing white, these dominate ones cannot s duty—and dinger—in such situa tions. Yet they criticise and condemn moral laxity thus encouraged As it refers to crime, this myopia is inidsuptably in evidence- In a t. ugh section cf Detroit, Michigan, as in many other cities, it is no un usual thing for colored people to be murdered by their own. In many in stances women have been murdered in the streets- Few of the murderers are ever apprenhended, and the ex planation is in the remark accredited to a police officer. He is reported to have said, “•Well, it is just one Ne gro killing another and there’s no need, that the State should have the expense of a trial ” And this is the attitude* of many.officials both North end South- To Be Continued. Pity The Poet By R- A. Adams (For The Literary Service Bureau) Pity the poet who must write— Must everlasting indite What may not ever see the light He writes because, h's brain afire, Must have relief or something dire Will come to pass- What, you in quire ? He is the butt of ridicule, To many, a consummate fool, Cr just the devil’s helpless tool He writes until his eyes gTow dim, But what he writes is more to him Than just some fancy, fad, or whim. His torotures you can never know, How, by the lash he’s driven <*o, So pity him and mercy show Hitting: The White Man's Vital Spot By B- A. Adams (For The Literary Service Bureau) Familiar is the story of the strike of Negro buyers on Chicago’s South side, led by the eourageouos Chicago Bee and by means of which the chain stores were forced to give employ ment to colored people- This was hit —his pocket book. There are thou tng the white man in the vital spot sands of such cases; and the number should be multiplied. An incident of this kind came under the writer’s ob servation in Kansas City, Kansas. The Kansas City incident has to do with two white drug stores- When the colored peope first invaded this neighborhood, these two drug stores were unfriendly and Negroes were denied service at their soda foun tains. More Negrooes came; and coL ored drug stores opened in the neigh borhood. These two proprietors thawed out- Now they are willing and anxious to serve colored people in any way- One especially asks, “Is there anything else? Do you need soap, or powder, or anything else? Not long ago the other former snob stepped out in the snow to invite a , colored man to “come in and wait for the car.” These are instances wdiich show colored people can hit biased white people in the vital spot- And they should not hesitate to do so. WEEKLY SHORT SERMON The LortTs Prayer By Dr. A. G- Bearer (For The Literary Service Bureau) Text: Thy kingdom come; thy will be done—Matthews 6:10. 1. Definition of the Term- The tfcims “kingdom of heaven” and “kingdom of God” are used inter changeagly and is now conceded that the “kingdom of heaven” refers to “a state of society ” Jesus em phasized . the spiritual significance when He declared, “The kingdom of heaven is within you.” 2. What the Kingdom Means to the World. It means living the life of Christ; bringing life and char acter into consonance with the ex ample of the life of Christ, artd with the “Golden Rule,” His formula for social righteousness- With the king- j dom of heaven in the heart of a man, - he will deal justly with all, will have, sympathy for all wrho suffer or are ; unfortunate, will be tolerant in re gard to human errancies and he will, be generally helpful to his fellow- i men- Of course, the ultimate and complete result will be that God s will shall be done “in earth as it is in heaven.” 3. How to Bring It About. In this text we are taught to pray for the coming of this kingdom- But prayer alone will not accomplish what is desired- Those who are inter ested in this consummation must work and thereby hasten it Maxie Mil!er Married woman decoying girl of 14—something “dead in Denmark”— best place for girl at night-time Is home—honest mother better do her duty—let other woman worry. (For advice, write to Max-'? Miller, ca: The Library Service Urrgau, 51b Kansas. For personal reply send postage.) Maxie Miller: I am the mother of a girl fourteen and there is a mar ried woman very fond of my daugh ter. She want’s to take her to places and wants my child to stay nights at her house. This woman has a boy cider than my girl, and the people say I ought not to let my girl go there so much. I think the woman is all right, but I am uneasy. What do you think I ought to do in a case like this? I hate to hurt the woman's feelings—Honest Mother. Honest Mother: If you are hon est with your child and with your self you will keep your eyes opened and protect your own child. Sus-1 picion is justifiable when a married w oman hangs on to a girl- The fact j that you are fearful and that the neighbors are discussing this matter ought to make you cautious- I would not “snap it off suddenly.” but, gra dually I would break this alliance- As to the staying at her house, you should forever say no! The parents’ roof is the safest place for a girl at night, especially. Let her stay at her own home, if you would protect her and avoid trouble I have known many cases of this kind- I am thinking of one where the married woman would call and say to the girl, “Stop by; I got a piece of pie for you.” Finally she got a piece of pie that failed to digest; and a girl of twenty-two is the result of the in digestion.

The place for the untrained and unskilled worker grows steadily, smaller- This is the age of the specialist and the expert whose education has prepared him to do one thing well The actual cash value of education, was computed some years ago in a thorough going survey. It was found; that the average boy goes to work at. the age of 14. He reaches his maxi mum income 'of about $1700 at the age of 40- By the time he is sixty he has earned $64000. The average high school graduate reaches a maximum income of $2800 at 50- His total earnings at sixty are $88000.

GOLDEN TEXT—Of the increase ot his government and peace, there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom, to order it anc to establish it with judgment and witk justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will per form this.—Tsaiah 9:7. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Story Jesuj Told. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Story Picture ol the Kingdom's Success. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—What Our Religion Means to Us. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP —Pictures of the Kingdopi. In this chapter of Matthew tha “mysteries” of tlie kingdom are un folded (v. 11). By “mystery” in the Scriptures is meant truth undiscover able by human reason, made known by revelation. The teaching set forth in these parables sets forth the admix ture of moral and spiritual interests which characterize the period betweei ■ Christ’s rejection and his triumphan kingdom. I. The Mustard Seed (vv. 31. 32). 1. Its unimportant beginning (v 31). It begins as the least of a-| seeds. Not only v- Christ, thj king, of humble pa ge, but hi| disciples were unlettered fishermen. 2. Its vigorous growth (v. 32). Though small at its inception, thd work inaugurated by Christ, has be come wide in extent and mighty in power. 3. Its lodging capacity (v. 32). The birds which find lodgment in the tree represent predntory individuals who have found shelter in the church but are not part of it. The birds which lodge in the branches are the “fowls” which devoured the seed that fell by the wayside (v. 4). II. The Leavened Meal (v. 33). 1. The meal. Meal in the Scrip tures means something nutritious and wholesome. Examples of its character and use are found in Gen. 18:G;I King* 4:22; n Kings 4:41. Also it was used In one of the sweet savour offering.** which typified Jesus Christ (Lev. 2:1-3 R. V.). 2. The woman. The woman is thu administrator of the home. Her rel flponslbflity !s to take the bread pro vided by the head of the home and prepare and distribute It to the chit-' dren. Observe: a. Her act. She bid the leaven ini the meal. b. Its issue. It leavened the meaj. The meal was not turned into leaven but was affected by the leaven. 3. The leaven. In the Scripture eaven is invariably a type of evil (Exod 12:15, Matt. 16:6, 12; I Cor. 5:6 8; Gal. 0:8, 9). The teaching of this parable, therefore. Is that in this ag«* {he truth of God and the wholesoindl institutions established by God would be corrupted by error, worldliness, and unbelief. The woman representing th
