' ALLEN HEARS LECTURES.
Students and./acuity of Allen Uhi\H?rsit_y were
pleased last week to hear "at the Chapel hour, a
talk by Philip A. MarangeHa, of Portsmouth,. New

bring: about peace and accord among' people and
peoples'throughout the world. He stated that the
basic principles of the movement are the investigation
of all truth with a scientific mind; and the
emancipation of all the rates of mankind regardless
of their orjgin. He extolled the virtues of the
prophet of ffie movement?Baha'u'llarf, and requested
that his life and principles be studied.
Mr. Marangella was accompanied t.v Mr, Phmin^..
cey Northern, young Negro, graduate of Hampton
and the WalterTfamrosch school < f music who sang
two selections, one of which was sung- in German.
Messrs. Marangella and Northern visited and spoke
bei'gre a few of the C()llege7>.las:-!e>. and cxplalhed "
the movement in greater detail to groups < f stur

-at the hour for the Allen XUuistian Endeavor League
Dr. Lanibie related several items of interest concerning
King Ras Tafari Makonnen. He described
him as being a man of a very high degree of Culture
and lefinement. He. appealed to the >tudents
to think about careers as Missionaries to Ethiopia.
(He prefers not to speak of it as Abyssinia.) When- asked
about Lieutenant Hubert Julian Dr. Lambie's

""" 'thk ItfrAL" :
The publicity gained by Union County because of
a lynching held there some time ago and becalise
)f the Governor's having sent troops therb presumibly
to prevent another lynching, would tend perhaps
to give a distorted view of race relations in the
' UweKmg under i.ueh .a y-.tum of democratic'
government ns ours is there is no telling
where these sporadic, outbursts of lawlessness
may crop cut. tsciore c ?ol- nea.tlwl people m'a> be
apprised that trouble is brewing, the lawless ele- 1
merit are usually at liberty to do their dirt. Wheth
?r such was the case jn the Union Jynching we are
out prepared to pi ye vi.iee r?. 'sonu- oli-ei-yations J
that we believe bespeak, a feel in* of amiableness
between the white and eoloted pe pie of. Union.
Having been inyited by Mr. Cyrus Williams,
aoach of tfrgKTrris High School footlwall team to
come to Union and see his team play the team
representing Jackson High of Camden, we went
there last Friday.just to see the boys display their
athletic skill and good sportsmanship. ft was *T
fine game and an ,excellent-spirit characterized the
strivings of both teams.
mora than the .ga,nve itnolf
was the cro\W that wiTnessed the game , and gave
encouragement to the gladiators who -struggled for
town and school supremacy. In that crowd of -people
there appeared to be more than two hundred
I white citizen? of Union. They cheered those Unionboys
as hustily as the most rabid' Columbia High
fan cheers for his "Capitals." There were men
~and women In that crowd who seemed to think only
r of the honor of Unoin, it mattered not who pre
carved?UuU??Quo?could?under?no?circumstance
believe that these were the people who took
part in a lynching; and Tt is vers likely that none
of them did. 7: ~ ^
We hope that such a spirit as we saw manifested
in Union last week will always predominate in that

appears to have the respect of all the citizens in
i - that community and is spoken of as a powerful
influence for good. These are conditions that The
Lfe'fider delights in finding and.heralding when they
are found. '
THE INFLUENCE OF BOOKS.
... . ?
"It is a mistake to assume that books have po
influence. It is a slow influence like flowing water
carving out a canyon; but it tells more and more
f with the passing of .each year. No man can spend
?n hour of two a day in the company of sages and
heroes without being lifted up a notch or two by
ihe company he has kept. There Is no excuse for
>eing small when we may walk with Whiteman-;
sit^at-table with Napoleon; or have mul-night sup-"
5erS with Frederick and 'Voltaii;e.'\ This is an
attempt at quoting Dr. Will Duranr/ author of sFhe;
Story of Philosophy; The Mansions of Philosophy;
Tran greR3tons,~etc. If we hnvo n^t rpgred him
exactly the thought is there. '
This \yeek is being celebrated throughout ^Aiikm ic.a
*s |Eook Week. It has been said, wise-cracking,
'hat every week in the American (kilendar bears
ts own peculiar label. 6e that as it may we' sub-.
nti that a week that might" piove productive ol
tnu.h good is Bo^k Week. The man who is unable
? appreciate what is .contained in the libraries ot

upon each literate anil, cultured reison to do
what he can to raise the cultural- tone of his fel-.

?.-Someone has?said that anything
that calls atieniion to itself is In poor
taste. This can certainly be applied
to gestures. The gestures of the finished
speaker never call attention to
themselves."* We find that the uncultured
speaker's gestures are objective
and emotional whereas the cultured
speaker's gestures are subtle
and fgore direct with .suggestive shad-"
man himself. They never rise higher
than the source. The inner gestures
toward himself. The philanthropist
"gestures towards others. The secret
minded person's gestures are unrevotding
whereat, the open minded per sail's
gcstUresoafe revealed. The eon-,
oeited miiule 1 man's gestures are self
displaying. _
What shall we do when we are in
doubt about making a gesture?
Don't make iL _ Th(. general tendency
is more toward tile..suggestive. We

the Divine. Revelation. Dr. James .
Moffat says?"This is the true story
*t>f how the universe- wa,s formed.
When (Jod began to lorm the universe '
- the World was void and vacant, darkness-lay
over-the abyss.?-Now as to
when and how, Jesus sifys to the
eleven?"It is not for you to know
the course- and periods of time, that
the Father has fixed by his own authority."
In the light of the above,
we would a.dvise Dr. Hancock, that he.
prolit from the experience of Job and
_ confess?-"I thoughtlessly confused
the- issues; I spoke without intelligence
of wonders far beyond my ken.
Dr. ijp. _Lhirks Cadman is called upon
daily to answer questions galore
"OlH5?age is prone -to forget, that
presume that if His exorcise of those
pr.esunrp that if His 'exercise "of those
igh'ts does noU^quare with our ideas,
He is a negllble factor'In lil'es ih<vnrei

revelation and to unfold that revelation
nsjle pleases". So Dr. Hancock
Revelation and nature have met and ,
Thc'-ylogy and Science have kissed
each other long ere this. We learn,
that Dr. Hancock has been invited by
the Palmetto Association of Colored^T?^r
Teachers to address them at their
next annual meeting. ' A1 ay 1 ask
most earnestly that Dr. Hancock will

"For something new is the manna
for today."
