TTiis beautiful newly built churrh was filled with members and friends of the various churches of the city. Rev. Jones who has just recently returnee! o the city welcomed the other churches and friends to their new church. After which he turned the services over Rev. Hicks who had been chosen master of ceremonies for the oc casion. After a free for all testi mony meeting, the demonstration of the spirit was much in evidence, as the Old Saints of G»d attempted to tell how much they had to be thankful for this past year. At the close of this interesting testimony meeting, Rev, Hicks in troduced Rev. 0. J. Burckhardt who in turn intr<duced Rev. J. C. Bell who had been choosen as the speaker of the hour. It is needless to say to you, that Rev. Bell took care of the situation and brought a message freighted with historical facts as to he origin of Thanks giving Day, as well as loaded with rich spiritual nuggets which en riched the spiritual lives of all pre sent. Indeed it was a great service that will not soon be forgotten on the part of us who were present. Sunday morning Rev. Burckhardt was called to the State Prison to be associated on a program with Rev. Charles Curtis McIntyre of Chicago who travels throughout the United States in the interest of unfortunate humanity who have to spend their time in penal insti tutions. Mrs, Manrmie Griffin, Vio la Miller and her sister, Mildred Walker were also a part of the pro gram. The Chaplain, Rev, 1 homas Maxwell after reading the scrip tures, had Mrs. Griffin to give the invocation, after Dr. McIntyre fin ished his talk to the men. Mrs. Miller sang two beautiful s«los. The prison authorities were greatly pleased with the program as well as the inmates. The members and friendes of the African Methodist church are highly elated over Rev. Bell and his wife having been sent to us as co-laborers in the Master’s vine yard. THE PRODIGAL PARENTS I»y Merle Redd We did not make the world in which we are groaning, we inherit ed it, and are compelled to live in it. And no generation of youth’s ever thrust into a world so difficult, so complex and bewildering. Th/e radios, the movies, the jazz bands, the automobiles and the roadhouses all create a new set of problems and temptations for the youth who faces the task of learn ing how to live somehow, and some way without losing his soul in a world crowded with such speed and excitement. Multitudes of young people are being lost in the new world in ex actly the same way that Jesus was lost beween Jerusalem and Nazar eth by his parents who went com placently on supposing their son was in the company with the good and worthy who were returning from Jerusalem. Prodigal parents are decieved by the fact that the youth lives in the same house with them, not real izing that the youth is actually living in and surrounded by a low' standard of morals. We have multiplied organizations and endowed social agencies and to them y°u have delegated the re sponsibility of rearing your children Ihere is more than a clever bit of humor in the lad’s remarks wh" transposed part of the Bible quot ation, says, “When my father for sake me, then the boy scouts will pick me up.” The surest way to lose our child ren is to attempt to rear them by remote control. To expect the Sun day school instead of the home to instill them with reli gious principles. Prodigal parents are too busy or else too neglectful to give the youth the help he should have in the home to make him great and good. Christianity is not a set of opin ions to be held or dismissed light ly like an old suit of clothes or a worn out old car. Christianity is a way of life without which men and women, boys and girls are making a shipwreck of their lives. One of the problems of today is the prodigal parents.

COBB _-_*1 r'p. The Genesis of An Old Favorite By IRVIN S. COBB THERE are several variations of this yam hut a Scotch friend of mine insists 4hat the one which follows is the correct one and, by that same token, the proper ancestor of all the crop of differing versions. As lie sets forth the original narrative it runs something An Aberdonian on his first visit to London got of? the train at Euston station. While proceeding afoot along Euston Load on his way to his hotel he suffered a terrific misfortune. He dropped a sixpence and it rolled out of sight. The desolated victim put down his luggage and began a vigorous search for the missing coin. Presently a friendly policeman came along and having learned from the grieved . cot wbat the trouble was proceeded to aid him in the hunt, but with no results, excepting the loss of fifteen minutes. Finally the Bobby said: “You go along on your way and I’ll keep my eye open for your money. If it turns up I’ll have it for you, if you’ll coma back this way this afternoon.” During the day the gas company had had a squad of men excavat ing in the street for new mains so that when the Aberdonian reappeared he found the paving torn up and a wide, deep trench extending from the house-line to the middle of the road. He gazed at the scene for a moment and then remarked to himself: “Weel, I must admit one thing — they are verra thorough here. V (American New* Feature*, Inc.)
