W\ . N?? 1 S L_i; . "The Old Gray" | I' i B> s > ?> Rev. E. I'hilip Ellis ^ s?Jt: V I i Housing Proposition I \ ' ~ In maity of our large citres where programs of slum clearings have been launched any number ^ * of colored! people have witnessed trying experiences. Many were t given a limited time to secure other living quarters. All of them T - spared no pairs to find homes dur ing the few days grven them but quite a few were not successful. At the expiration of the time granted,-, .the unfortunate ones had the windows taken out of their houoeo,?water and?lights cut uff which left them humiliated and embarrassed. This is inhuman in a christian civilization and yet it really happened. Now as long as l'? -- - ^ - nie svrong is so inconsiderate 01 the weak, we cannot expect the hdlping hand of God to be extended to the natrons of, the world in ariy shjape or foim. The mad rush of men today for greed and gain has much to do with this deploraj, ble condition of- the world today and God only, knows where the end is. Seemingly wc are at the ~ cross roads and no one can give -a-hopeful word of encouragement. We must admit that wickedness is bold in our land and country. TTfe rs so cheap that murder is an every day occurence. ^ The courts of the bind do not seem to ccjnsider it a serious olfense. And say what you will but unless the Christians earnestly tune in with God at such a time as this we are' headed for the worst and my pre diction ts that the time will not be very long.

We would be surprised to i1' hear Anything to the contrary. This is a high class congregation and Bro. Lawrence is one of the most outstanding ministers in our denomination. He is an a??ct to that entire city. When he left hrs fashionable church?in?Charleston ne urged his members to sttend by ' * his successor, the presiding elder, and the eonneetional claims. Dr. Lawrence believes in the "golden rule" and- in "sowing and reaping." Rev. L. G. Bowman is the right man in the right place. Already Newberry has taken o n npw life. And for ydars she?hasbeen out of her class, but watch Bro. Bowman put her back in her proper place. Rev. S. J. Johnson is a fine fit for Prosperity. I am told that Rev. T. E.

The associations president is nearing his seventyfifth birthday. Although the meeting went on very smoothly with the vice-Pres Prof. R. L.

In one of fVlo crrn11r?'_ rlicenceinno ...? o- --C 3 . a question was brought up,?1 "Which gave the child more bene , fit Oral or Silent reading?' After much collaboration, i t was brought to a vote and finally proved that Silent reading is not only more beneficial to a child.; but causes it to concentrate and. interpolate with better under-] standing. Another group showed that when a teacher has two 011 more grades to teach, it would be] better that the schedule be ar : uingcd to complete the same sub ject in the three grades befire . preceding to a different lesson. i Miss Justine E.
