Haw-1 kins?for a half century Financial j (j Secretary of the A. M. E. Church. S( Dr. ^fawkins died Tuesday after u several months of serious illness. t| Dr. Hawkins was recognized as;n one of the best financiers of the'^ race. He handled more than $20rj 000,000 for the A. M. E. Church,', while in .office and accounted prop . erly and intelligently for his re f ceipts and disbursements. Dr. Haw j*1 kins served creditabjy as Presi-1" dent of Kittrell College, and was.s ! the first, tp serve as Secretary of ^ Education in the A. M. E.

THE WAR CLOUDS APPEAR IN EUROPE tl The arrows pointing toward the w East indicate that there is. likely j] to be another war in Europe. A ij war that may eventually bring V fhfl TTnito/1 Qfofoe int. fU/. 1 . ? - It's the German--Eolish?situation.<j . this time that is disturbing the f peaceful thoughts of mankind K thrpughcrut the world. d It will be a calamity upon humanity if the nations must again sacrifice their youn^ manhood in another bloody conflict to satisfy | the imperialistic ambition of Hit- e ler and his German followers.' ti Twenty-twtf years ago millions were destroyed in the World War fought on European grounds, and a thousands of them sleep in Flan- ft ders and many thousands who sur vived are only -patients in hospi-' 0 tals and of no service to their ^ families ncrr their countries. Though we see war clouds ria-: ing in the East there is yet a 1 chance for mediation and reconcil-j iation. During the past two days ? the secret , words from England * and France to Hitler have had ^ some affect. We hope the Ger-1 * man leader will have foresight enough to see that the Wcrrld pow-"f ers are not going to submit to51 ' German rule nor to German phi--" losophy in military prowess nor in F further injustices t.dministered toft; weaker people. i t h "COLOREI) VOTERS LEAGUE jl OF AMERICA." ; w 'a There is a growing organization known as the "Colored Vot-,a ers League of America." Tho J headquarters of this organization f is at 611 F Street, Washington, y L). C., and some leading race men g irr the District of Columbia and the United States have offices, with the League, err are cooperfct-' ing with the movement hi a tangible way. Thety are not only sending out literature by which * the people are being educated to v their way of thinking in politics, I ^ but they have launched a drive , that is far reaching in scope, pur-';"? pose and results. The following paragraph is a brief statement of the aim of the ' "Colcrred Voters League:" ! v The aim of the eaguc is to R search the records of the various: r candidates running for office to c learn what they have done for n the advancement of colored-peo- $ pie in their ccrmmunities, and to tl srsonally contact these candi- * ates to learn what they are wirl- J ng to do, should they be elected < > office; and to enlighten the vot- ' rs with this information. To < lake possible the registration 1/I ' re vast number of colored people < i the Southern States who -have eretofole been deprived of the allot by tricks anl schemes, that trey may vote in such a way that treir votes will be of a benefit to ne race. There irs strength in organizaion. "There are hundreds of colled men and women in South Caolina qualified to register and ote, but they need to be educated , ii the techniques of voting quailcatioms. It would noc hurt if h e "Colored Voters League" 'ould send an organizer into the 'almetto State to set up an or anizatioii for the purpose o 1 caching people how Uj ' exercise heir constitqtionai rights. ". | O THE HIGH SCHOOL TUDENTS OF S. C.: By Prof. James C. Parlor, Wilkinson High School, Orangeburg, S. C. As we enter into another school . ear, I deem it expedient that our i eginning be guided by the wise ords of King Solomon as found r Proverbs 4:13: "Take fast hola t' instruction; let her not go; i eep her; for she is thy life." My nly fear for you is that you will erhaps not give this fact as much jnsideration as is due it. I feat ist a little that you will rush trough this valuable year too rap lly. Right at the beginning you lust determine to do your work nd do it well. You know that everything i n i lis''world starts from a small beinning. The great oak springs rom the little acorn. The mighty i iver begins as a tiny riverlet. So ; will be with your career in tho j ttainment of success. You cannot | ttain success "at a single bound" our success must come as a re-! ull of gradual growth year-?by~ ear. However, you can "hurry p" this growth by giving atten ion to it; just as a gardener can ( iake a plant or flowgy grow more igoroUsly by cultivation, high chool will point out the ways bat you may make a small be- i inning in-attaining success. ?j~ Upon the youth of the state deends cnir hope for tomorrow. Es ecially does our group rely upon 111' PllCPP iinrl ..l-l ^ 0 ? u.iv* viivuuoiaotit' yuutn | ) solve many problems?new and hi. If we judge from The splenid records made by many high chool boys an girls af our state ' re ought not be disappointed in ie calibre of those of you who ] lust in short help carry on the ork of the state and nation. I could point with pride to many rilliant boys and girls who have raduated from various high chools. Their records are envia-, ! le ones and should inspire every tudent who is entering high chool this fall to follow in their aotsteps. It is easy in May to wish one ad studied just a little bit hardr, but it is jyst as easy in Sep-;' smber to make up one's mind to tudy hard and then carry out bat determination. Begin, therefore, now, if you j rould become a leader. Take an iterest in high school and i n fe. "Concentrate your energies, 'ultivate persistence. Study men. tesolve to be upright in all your eatings. Seek?companionship of i ieixls worthwhile. Keep your oal steadfastly before you, and on't give up the ship!

(Don't take rt seriously please don't). I wrote a masterpiece some years ago. So masterly, was it that nobody remembers it. I haven't heard o f the thing myself since I wrote it.

"And Abraham said, my son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering etc". A Doctrinal sermon was delivered by the Rev. Br C. Scott*, pastor of Felderville | circuit. His text was found Ezekiel 36th chapter and 25th verse. Subject: "Christian Baptism". The Educational sermon was preached . by the Rev. J.A. DeLaine as a sub stitute 'for Rev. J. B. Jennings His text was found first Epistle ol Paul's letter to Timothy, first chapter and 19th verse. The Missionary sermon wis preached by the Rev. J. I. Hamilton, pastor of Live Oak circuit. His text was found St. Matthews 10th chapter and 16th verse. All of these sermohs were spiritual feasts, and . each minister proved himself wor thy of his task. An inpsirational address was de livered by the P. E. Samuel Nance on the subject: "The part our Young P-oople?must play in the ? Drama of Life". His ability as a speaker was portrayed in the way *" he delivered his message. Very encouraging remarks were delivered by Drs. Parker and Hildebrand. Our convention was also graced with the presence of the J newly elected and very popular President of Allen University, T)r S. R. Higgins. Very timely re- m marks concerning young people's nterest and Allen university, wer,, | made by Dr. Higgins. From the impression that Dr. Higgns has made and is making upon .the people of South Carolina, we feel Chat Allen university wil .make great progress under his administration. His future is bright. All charges of the district made $ good reports, which were commended by the P. E., and the time vas-also appointed for the final re lorts lor Education. Another important feature of = he convention was thP model Sunlay School and ACE League, conducted by Mrs. C. B. Black and Mr. H. L. Pinckney, respectively. The Institute work conducted by J the ministers and also the English I iuiz wert. very instructive and I oeneficial. This played an impor- 1 tant role in directing the atten- ' tion of our young people back to the Sunday School and A. C. E. League work. Thn permission was granted th0 young people by the P. E. to lead essays on various subjects concerning Sunday, school work and leadership. TTfcracfc- I gates took an interesting advan- I tage of this with many discuss- I ions! * A' successful concert was I presented by the young people conducted by Mrs C. B. Black. JThe Missionary ladlesf also had I a very fine meeting during the convention to complete unfinished * business with Mi's. Agnes L. Hildebrand, conference branch president, presiding." The P. E. read the disciplinary duties of the District Missionary president and the local presidents. He also stated that the local presidents are members of the district conference. Taking everything into consideration we believe that one of the greatest Sunday school conventions of the Orangoburg district has just come to a close. Dr. Nance, P. E. has ertdeared himself to the ministers and laymen of the district by the way he has conducted himself-. .. The Orangeburg district is making progress which cannot be denied lay anyone.
