So spoke an old man as, he peepe< ; through th<L_window of his cabin anc ^ saw the water-soaked tyard beforr hrriitT- So runs the thought of th< ^ masses. But what 'was right? D< } things just happen? When we stoj " to analyze this phenomenon, v?e dii r "cover that back-of thisrdown-pcrur tc ' which the aged gentleman referrer 1 was a cause. For long hours befon the sun had slowly and patiently va porized water from the neighboring streams, arid this vapor had ascender to form clouds; the clouds had helt htis moisture until the atmospherr had reached a sufficient tempejaturi to cause condensation. He gazed a' the effect of this unobserved pro cess and exclaimed in awe-stricker wonder, "It- hapened," But'did it ? "His father hapened to be rich,' yelled a youngster to his mother a: 1 she attempted to scold him for keep ing company with a rather ostenta tious lad. Was the boy mistaken? 1 Did if just happen? . If trace th( I ancestry of?our little ostentations friend we will find that somebodj struggled hard to-attain the wealtl - which his father now possesses, somebody witnessed sleepless nights anc .days in which food was scarcely taken. Somebody had a vision of wealth ease, comfort, luxury and worked hard to attain it. ^ We only see the result of these ex^ traordinary efforts and exclaim - vvith the little?btry:?'It happened." But did jtT7~7? " i "lie fiaperted to be educated was the excuse that a ragge<L_beggar ofi fered for he unusual success of his brother as compared to the miserable j aiulre 'of his wretched life. But did it just happen? When that brother j of his spent many long and tiresome I years pouring over books of every j-deser4ption. Thare were days when fuud was - scarcely sufflctenrTO'givg | vitality and energy. There were times I when clothes were threadbare and finance was insufficient to meet the ' daily demands. But he struggled on 'through four?eight?twelve?sixteen | yeas. His brother saw the result of : those years of hard struggle and, dazzled by the glory of his overwhelming ' success, proclaims with the rest: "It ' happened." But things don't just happen in this j world of-ours. We are governed by . - ? THE PALME' j the Law of Cause and Effect.

They were coming in on every train from Monday until Saturday, over the Southern.

Now, Brother Roach, be fair once before you go to judgement you know i that?Benedict?College?Chapel?will , ;.-rowd in at least 800 people and you J know that that chapel was packed to suffocation all rweek, besides every building-on the campus with most of the class rooms holding from 50 to 60 'people were crowded at the same time. i? Twenty five departments', were being , run at the same time. Tell the truth I whether you like the*'Boyd Wing" of i the National Baptist Congress of not. i' The National Baptist Congress cares no more for you in this State than for i the reputed fly- that sat on the axle ., of the chariot wheel and said "What , a dust do I~raise." i We desire the 'cooperation of you i and every one else in doing the work . | of the kingdom but if you will not be | reconciled to conditions then its up to , I you. In connection with this question .

You shall eat your own vomit. I. had 1 plenty of good nice homes for dele", gates, but some of these did not get I any, and the- plain reason was because my enemies planned against me notwithstanding T liad" eight men at s each station labeled to direct the dele8 gates to the office where I had hired " help to assign them to homes Dre '' pared.
