have life and that they might
have it more abundantly,”

Living was emphasized as all
important as Christ saw men in
life.
We were delighted to have
several visitors present in our
morning ai d evening services.

our pastor on “God’s Measur
ing Line.” Text, Zech. 2:1-2.
More than forty children
were present last Sabbath at
their worship service which is
conducted by Mrs. A. H. Prince.
It is the most far-reaching ser
vice in the church.
“The Church’s Part in the'
Present Unemplyoment Situa
tion” was the subject of the
discussion before the young
people in their service at 6:45.
The discussion was profitable.
All the young people entered
heartily into the vital question.
Miss Adelaide McMoore presid
ed.
Mrs. Lucy Maxwell, 530
E. Stonewall Street, was re

the church on profession of her

LUMBERTON NEWS
By H. Eustace DuBissette
Dr. J. E Hayswood, pastor of
Bethany Presbyterian church,
preached a very powerful ser
mon on Sunday. After reading
from St. John 14:1-4, the
speaker waxed eloquent. He lit
erally poured oil on the trouble
some water. In a voice rising to
a crashing crescendo he point
ed out the mistake of most
Christians in worshipping
without “faith.” “To believe you
must haVe faith; they are in
separable,.” he declared. “I as
sure you if you will serve the
Lord throughout all conditions
and not be confused or troubled,
but believe and have faith, you
will receive your reward.” he
emphasized. ?
Our Christian Endeavor So
ciety is working hard as usual.
On Sunday quite a few topics
were discussed: “What is Meant
by New Birth?” “How to Devel
op New Life?” “Some of the
Ways the Father Expresses His
Love Toward Us,” etc. These
topics were eminently por
trayed by students—Helen
Chambers, Rachel Greene. Ruth
Williams, Addie Jones, Alex
Lewis. Co~a Shaw and Helen
Jones. We were glad to have
with us Mrs. J. H. Hayswood,
wife of our beloved pastor,
Dr. J. H. Hayswood. Mrs. Hays
wood took part in the discus
sion and with an avalanche of
logic dissected missionary v ork.
She concluded by saying that
missionary work should not
only be done abroad but at
home, in the class rooms, in
the streets or wherever we may
be.
Redstone Academy
It is indeed a, very happy and
proud privilege to say to you
that I am a student of Redstone
Academy, a Presbyterian school,
situated in East Lumberton.
The years I have spent here I
shall never regret. I am doing
all I can to graduate this year,
but oh, how I regret to think of
the feeling that will overcome
me to depart from these sacred
walls and from this wholesome
Christian environment.
The quality of mind and ever
lasting Christian spirit which
prevail here are beyond my fac
ulty to express. The happiness
here among the students, in
fact, and the love between fac
ulty and students, in truth, are
beyond me to put down in black
and white. It is love here, love
there, love everywhere, plenty
of it and running over at that.
I invite you to come here next
year and learn and enjoy what
love really is.
We are in the process of
building a hew Bethany. In
this period of depression it is
not an easy job. Our ambition
is reeking in the blood of de
terminatiin, watered with the
tears of affection. Each member
of the Senior Sunday school
class has pledged five dollars
and the teacher ten dollars. As
it is no disgrace to ask for a
worthy purpose, I am making
a special appeal to all mem
bers of the Sunday school class
es to please favor us with a
small donation towards the
building of a new Bethany. We
are badly in need of a proper
place of worship. Make your re
mittance payable to Bethany
Presbyterian church and send
same to our Sunday school
teacher, Eustace DuBissette,
Box 576, Lumberton, N. C. I
thank you.
I conclude in considering it
a peculiar honor and a great op
portunity to again invite you
to attend Redstone Academy.

Member of the Senior class.

Miss Frances Manley sang
very sweetly: “I Shall Not Pass
Again This Way.” Mrs. L. S.
Seabrook very forcibly read an
inspiring article on the work of

interesting papier on “India

after which Mrs. Nettie Coun
cil read “The Missionary Ser
mon in the Silver Dollar.” Miss
Eleanor McAlister sang: “For
God' So Loved the World.” The
rendition of it was very beau
tiful and wfth the preceding
messages, the^udience felt in
spired to do a bigger and more
sincere work.

‘WHITE OR COLORED” ON
CLERGY COUPONS MEETS
WITH PROTEST TO BU
REAU
New York, Feb. 23.—Under
the leadership of William Pick
ens, Field Secretary of the Na
tional Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People,
and Clarence V. Howell, Direc
tor of the Reconciliation Trips,
a protest is being organized
against the question, “white or
colored?” which appears on the
'ravelling coupons issued o
clergymen entitling them to re
ductions in railroad fare.
Mr. Howell reports to the N.
A, A. C. P. that upon inquiry
as to the reason for the “white
or colored” question the East
ern Clergy Bureau that the
question was a “protective
measure in the mutual inter
est.”
In further prosecution of the
inquiry, for the N. A. A. C. P.,
Mr. Pickens wrote to the Cler
gy Bureau inquiring “just how
is it that either the rail -cad
company or the colored travel
er can be better protected if
the word ‘colored’ is stamped
on his coupon book when he ap
plies for a ticket from a ticket
agent.” Mr. Pickens further
states in his letter:
“You do not require other
races should so designate them
selves when they are accorded
this privilege and concession,
according to our information.”
NOTICE
All persons expecting to at
tend the Yadkin Presbyterial
which meets the second of
April with Allen’s Temple
church, please notify Mrs. J. A.
Parks, Cleveland, N. C., Box
653. Arrangements will be
made for those who notify us
in time.
