,of .Vocational Agriculture, 'sees the
great task of the instvnVtinn tr> bo flintof
simulating the farmers to go fur-)-,
ther into diversification of crops and (
cooperation in marketing farm pro-!
duce. Moreover, this agriculturalist
who is merely an agent of State Colv

to see the economy of raising!
everything possible that is"needed for

In addition to stimulating economy !
in production fo rhome consumption. '
it is the* spirit df the "institution to

Sunday morning, May 23, the Roy.
Prof. R. I. Lemons, pastor'of the'Coif J
lege Church of Allen University, tie-*livered
a very soul-stir*4Hg-?ermon to
the ' faculty and student-body.'* I lis
subject was, "Pitching toward Sodom"
He very beautifully illustrated the\
text and aplied it to student life, telling
the students not to pitch their
tents "toward Sodom." *
' - The installation o fflew officers of ;
the Allen Christian Endeavor. League
took "place Sunday evening, May 23,
?r with the retiring president, Mr. Jas.,
v M. Giles, a candidate for graduation
in June,- presiding. ?Prof. G. A. Singleton,
professor of Sicial Science,
had charge of the installation. Before
he took charge*, he delivered a
very inspirational address on the sub-1
ject, "What do you want Jack?". In
spite of the fact that it was'comical,
it was something to think aboift. The
?eleeted officers,. are: Mr. "TuTher A.
Glenn, President; Mr. Josephus aM.
Gary, Vice-President; Mr, Empire
v Hemmingway, Secretary; Miss Mary
Pooile, Asssitant Secretary; Mr.'Henry
R. Butler, Treasurer; Miss Bertha
Couser, Pianist; Mr. Louis Thornp* i
son, Reporter. The President-elect
made a very inspiring address.
President D. H. Sims made the pommecement
address of Central' Park
?? College, Savannah, Ga.; which is a i
part of the Morris Bro\^n University
System. With al arge audience in at- <
tendance, the exercises were held at :
St. Phillip A. M. E. Church. It is re- 1
portod that President Sim's speech !
captivated the vast audience,. He is i
one of the profounded orators and j
, one ofe the lea4im? educators of the <
Race. > j 1
Before a crowdod hodse,' Monday ]
(
jvening, May 24, "Cinderella," and operetta
in two acts, wase presented
,>y the Primary Department of Al?
en University. -Frem-the beginning
io the end, the- operetta was captivating
the audience that filled the
spacious auditorium. The little chillren
seemed to have lost themselves
in what they _ were doing,, as -they!
played their parts with great ease. \
The- beauty?of their costumes added j
which was pleasing to behold.
M ne success of the presentation of
Lhe operetta is due to the principal,
Prdfessor R L. Pegues and teachers,!
RnrtViia R'nnlfnitrbt nnH RnKv .
J. Benson, . ? -?. < I
Every one that witnessed the operetta
seemed to be well satisfied by'
doing so. This 'was the initial numr
ber of the commencement program of,
the University, which "culminates on (
June 10. An invitation is extended
to the public to atend all the exercises.

M. Patterson wins $100 Oratorical
_,?Contest Prize
Our 28th commencement began |
with a $100.00 cash oratorical con-,
test prize which took dace in the an.!
ditorium of Dudley (Hall on Friday,
May 28, at 8 p. _m. '^The contestants
were Messrs. L. C. Meach^m, W. B.
Alexander, J. L. Connor, (j. Williams,
X. N. Golloway and 1^.. Patterson.
Their subjects covered tbpics on racial j
and social problems as they exist not J
only here in America but also in other I
lands. The competition was keen all
he way through and no one knew for
sure who was going to win the $100
ash1 prize offered bjr Prof. G. W.!
TrHman of Asheville, N. C. This gift
came as a thunderbolt from a clear |
sky; in making further -inquiries a- ^
bout Prof.* Tillman we learned that,
his gift was an expression of his pride j
in an affection for A. & T. College.
Before the oratorical contest, a do-. I
plantation contest was held In wheh
Rve students, from the high school de- (
partment, competed. This was another

"Whereever God-"erects, a house of
prayer, the devil builds a tabernacle
there and it's found upon investigation
that the later has the larger congregation."
?The truth of the ahnyft statement is
evident, but what I can't see into is
why should slimy wolves,' back-biters,
hypocrites, pretenders be permitted to
occupy our pulpits under the guise of
dispensinw God's word, and block, or
try to.block every effort put fqrth for
the best interest of those they claim
to serve ? Is it wise to give the agents
of hell chief seats in our synagougues?
I say no. Let them serve
their master under his vine and fig
tree. They ^re with us only for the
-fi*ha&-aiul Inavps?rtirmpy tint! not for
our spiritual and material good. A
minister of Presiding Elder who opposes
the education of your ehildren,
disqualifies himself to be your leader
and should be asked to depart. Theso
days some ministers think the more
illiterate the people they ?erve, ihe
more money they get and that's .-why
they wish us to" ever embrace the bliss
of hideous illiteracy. \Te

slowly sinking in the West behind^ the
waving trees that made their mournful
cry as if saying, "farewell Thelma."

This promising youth not yet in
the "teens" passed away Saturday,
May 29 in anu_unusual manner. The
mother and father had gone to the
City. TheHleceased withother little
children went, to the "old mill- pond"
thatTlftood on the plantation for years
tufish and ventured too far out on a
TT^fni-that was weakened from long
service arTdexpoguye to The" elements
of nature. It broke, letting her downinto
the deep and there being no one
to?render?immediate aid but- little
children, she was swallowed by the
water that neither ebbs nor flows.
She remaind eat the" bottom until
tyr."Toping Scoville heard the melancholy
screams of the little ones and
rushed to the pond and dived into the
uiotui' jmi. hvxnixrht tVif> .lifeless.-hods'
to the surface. Medical assistance was
quickly sumrhoned buLJjo no avail.
It was hard to believe rheima was
no more but it was a reality.
The pastor of Shiloh A. M. E.
Church of which she was a mejnber
of the Sunday School delivered a
touching and eloquent eulogy on the
life of a youth, ite paid a tribute Jo
the deceased as a Sunday School scholar
and to frer father., mother and
grand parents for their efforts put
forth tQ rear little Thelma in the way
t.he Lord would have her go.
Mr. and Mrs. G. \Vj_ Hofvard and son,
Robert Eli with Messrs B. F. Williams
and Cliton Knox left early Sunday
morning to be at the funeral and arrived
in ample time. The Essex made
the trip.
