1VERS THE IMISIICE
» WHITE RICE
(Pretton New* 8ervlcc)
DALLAS, TEXAS, Nov. 26.—The
signing pf the urmisibice probably
saved the white race from being so
weakened as to lose its suprema.cy
in the <world to the yellow and black
races, declared Dr. Paul Harrington
Duff, speaking at the second of the
winter aeries of open nights of the
Dallas Knights of Columbus, in ob
s Tvance of Armistice Day and Dr.
Duff’s subject was “The Spirit of
Armistice Day.”
RECALLS ARMISTICE AT FRONT.,
Dr. Duff, the principal speaker of
the evening, introduced his address
with a description of Armistice Day
at the front in 191S. He detailed
the activity of the men in the bnitery
with which he was serving, and por
trayed the pageantry of the celebra
tion in the small villages of the Toul
sector.
Stating that thankfulness was the
primary emotion associated with the
commemoration of the cessation of
■ hostilities, he pointed out some of
the reasons / why the world gave
thanks tha,t day. In (his connection
he discussed the possibility that the
white races of the world would have
so weakened each other that the su
premacy in world affairs could have
fal len into the hands of the Orient
als. i
The thankfulness of the American
people associated with Armistice Day
was great enough. Dr. Duff asserted,1
to justify the celebration of Armis
fide Day as the national thanksgiving
day. He advocated thie merging of
the two days of thanksgiving now
celebrated in November and the des
ignation of the 11th as the day for
the offering of the thanks of the
American people.
In Menioriam.

be'<oved husband and our devoted

Will live through eternity. _

have this to say of the Third Street
A. M. E. Church:
FINE WORKING TEAM.
“Dr. and Mrs. J. S. Hatcher con
stitute a working team in church
hard to duplicate. Mrs. Hatcher is
an organizer of women and children
and is able to get things done. I* is
a 'pleasure and inspiration to stop in
their home and worship in their ad
vices. The system, order and precis
i°n at once impress you that a master
is in charge. The children sit
together ready to sing. pray, recite
and serve in any way. Three intel
ligent young women sit with them
as Matrons of the Children s Church.
The largest- week end Bible C ass in
the Race is taught by Dr. Hatcher
each Friday evening. Special empha
sis is laid upon the prophetic and
dispensational significances. All Dr.
Hatcher’s preaching and teaching is
from a sound Pre millennial view
point. He has the largest and most
rapidly growing Tithing Band of any
church we know of in the Race. The
Holy Ghost is recognized and hon
ored in all things and you can feel
His presence in every assemblage.”
Lawyer W. F. Denny says: “Dr.
Hatcher is the mosC resourceful Ne
gro preacher I have ever heard. We
predict for him tihe highest honors
both of God and his brethren.”
