E. Leagu? and Sunday school picnic is now history; but pleasant memories of a gland affair, on a beautiful day, i pen the lovely., grounds of Couptsville A. M. E. church, linger still. The ehurth sits majL estically upon the flat crest of a gradually sloping hill, oyer looking Lake Murray. ^ The trees are conveniently distributed over the surroundings as if nature itself might have plan ned it for just such an event as this, Ronplmtt?were spoiled here and there against trees. Some rest ed while others took their turps at the games or scampered away to be served another glass of iced lemon-,gyade ade, just for the asking. The districts agreement was 12 o'clock noon; most of the busses and trucks, loaded to capacity with happy cheering young people were there on time. The disti ict pardonably boasts of this punctuality. To say that the entire district ( was represented and that we came by hus, truck and car loads gives otrr friends an idea as to what an enormous gathering-there was. -Last year was our first attempt to carry out the idea of a district picnic. The response was so great and the results so pleasing that the preiding elder, pators, league presidents, Sunday school superin-1 tendents, officers and members of tne district decided to establish ltj i Johnson The ^aureate I table lectures on Negro literature at sveral educational centers. James Weldon Johnson 'was the foremost alumnus of Atlanta University. By nature and temperament he was conservative', cautious and courteous.' I can recall the time when i he alone of hi.; classmates?xtmvained?loyal?to?faculty reprulntiorm against who>v~ lestrrc^ tion his classmates rebelled. In the reorganization of Atlanta-Univerity, the other alumni trustees opposed the merger on the ground that it was calculated to impair j the old Atlanta spirit of race equality and human rights. He alone of his?fellow?alumm?was selected as trustee of the New Atlanta University by the capitalis tic interests which dominated the situation. Though always preserving his personal dignity and amor: propre, he never gave offense to the white race. Even while leading the anti-lynehing campaign he never called down on his head the wrath of southern whites like Wal ter White' his more dynamic sucContinued on I'age (> as an annual affair. Hence last Friday, July 1st, we had our second picnic and first anniver?aty. The district's hospita'ity is "second to none". Therefore the presence of our visitors and friendscertainly hightehed our joy. My! My! : Wo cannot describe the beauty of the picture made by those tables spread and artistically covered with the. kinds <if. food that would just make you chew your "bits" if some one tied you up where you could only look at it and not let you loose. We certainly carried out that number on program in roval and enjoyable style: After the feast, Dr. Dent was a much heavier man but there were enough men to help him to one of the trucks wb#eh was use .L as a pTat.fotm.?In brief and well chosen terms, he greeted the cheerful throng, thanking all for making the occasion worthwhile. Then he made announcements ' of the district?rrrri state convention s and other district, meeings. The Dis.ciict President of Leagues,. Rev. 1. O. Simmons and the District Supt. *of Sunday Schools, Mrs. O.
