great success. Many were blessed in
every way. How we miss her God.

Mission as follows: Deacon JoSeph
Sloan, Mother Sally Sloan, Sister
Jessie Mayweather, Miss Mara Wal

noon day prayer and her demonstra

Jesus' lecture by voice was wonder

God wrought miracles through proph

day of Our Lord.
Mother Sloan’s Testimony.
“I am a living witness prophecy

to prophet Hess. The Lord healed
me and through his prayers my sis

What Price
The captive crow, who prefers the charity and protection of man to
his freedom, never set a value on his independence. He learned his
tricks, obeyed his master, and lost his will to be free.
From the earliest days of American history Americans fought and
died to establish a nation where a man would be free to make his
own way. Even today our fighting men are paying the supreme price
for independence. It is up to us at home to see that they have not
fought in vain.

RANDOLPH SAYS PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT SHOULD ISSUE
NATIONAL PROCLAMATION
TO ABOLISH SEGREGATION
AND DISCRIMINATION IN
THE ARMED FORCES.
New York City, July 14—It was
learned at the National Headquar
ters of the March On Washington
Movement at the Hotel Theresa Build
ing in New York, from A. Philip
Randolph, National Director, that the !
March On Washington Movement is
beginning a nation-wide campaign to
get individuals and organizations to
write telegrams and letters to Presi
dent Roosevelt urging him to issue a
National Proclamation abolishing se
gregation and discrimination in the
armed forces, as an indication of the
right of the United States of Amer
ica to claim the moral leadership of
the democratic forces of the world.
Mr. Randolph stated that the Ne
gro people are entitled fo this, and
unless discrimination and segregation
are abolished in the armed forces, the
peoples of color will be constrained
believe that they are not to be con
sidered in the making of the peace as
part of the people of mankind who
are to enjoy freedom and democracy,
for which black and white boys are
dying on battlefields all over the
world. He concluded that President
Roosevelt has this power and that it
will be the greatest act of democracy
