of his salary to open a fiee food

out any urging, church members an
church organizations raised in addi
tional pledges and cash,..$1,500. Th
Relief Bureau now has $*.,ouu in
hand or in sight and will open the
kitchen December 26th, and will keep
it open for the next three months, or
as long as the need exists.
This pastor told his members not
to give him any “hand shake ’ money,
collections or donations during tne
holidays, but to make all their gifts
instead to the poor.
He has been driving a 192»> cai
and his officers wanted to give him a
new one, but this he absolutely re
fused to accept. What sort of a
representative of the lowly Jesus is
a big, fat, well dressed preacher in a
new car, riding up and down stree ;s
which are lined with homeless, penni
less. and foodless men, women and
children? ...
If every Negro preacher m tms
country would refuse to accept dona
tions from their churches during the
holidays not a single person of the
race would go hungry the week we
are celebrating the birth of the Man
who became poor for our sakes, that
wt, thru His poverty might be made
There are 10,000 Negro preachers
who ought to give their salaries
during the months of January, Feb
ruary and March to feed the hungi \
and clothe the naked. Another 10,000
ought to give during those months
half of their salaries, and another
10,000 should give one fourth of
their salaries for the same purpose.
This would give these preachers an
undreamed of power and influence in
their localities.
It would also open the hearts and
pocketbooks of their members, and
lastly would give us a revival of re
ligion among Negroes for which we
have been offering hypocritical
prayers for the last twenty-five
years. . _ ,,
If we fail to do this we should
never again preach or read from the
25th Chapter of Mathew:—“I was
hungry and ye fed Me; I was naked
and ye clothed Me.”
The churches and lodges have got
ten a large part of the colored peo
ples’ money during the last sixty
years, and for the sake of the God
whose name our acts have often
blasphemed, and for the^ sake of our
starving brothers and sisters whom
we have often robbed under the guise
of religion, friendship, love and truth
and charity, let us restore unto them
this winter at least enough of that
money to keep them from starving
and freezing.
This is the only practical way to
meet NANNIE H. BURROUGH8’
challenge and to answer her scorch
ing indictment. The preachers,
churches and lodges that remain in
different this winter to our sorely de
n* essed people, will soon be gone, and
they ought to be gone and forgotten
forever.
Highlights Of Dr.
Last S
(By Ever el
Miss Tinsley sang at the beginning
of the service after which Dr. Han
cock preached from the subject, We
should owrry”. He used as his text,
“Take therefore no thought for the
morrow. Matt* 6-34.
As Dr. Hillis once said “nothing is
so obvious as the slowness of our up
ward progress”. The only way to get
a suggestion that the world is get
ting better is to compare age with
age and generation with geneiation.
We have today more statesmen of
ability and integrity than ever oefore
but it is also true that the ship ot
state rides uneasily and many of the
passenegrs are seasick and the crew
is inclined to be mutinous. Today we
have manv profound thinkers and
philosophers but it is also true that
we do not know all the truth about
anything and we dispute much about
what we think we know. Today we
have many eloquent and consei rated
preachers of power and conviction
but it is also true that but two thirds
of the population belongs to the
church and there are many grave
doubts as to the religion of those
who do. We have today multitudes ot
skillful and learned physicians and
countless drug stores yet nearly
everybody is ailing anti it is vwu.
difficulty that we postpone even a
little while the dying day. We ha\e
today millions of the best farmers
that'ever gave seeds to the furrows
and these farmers are equipped with
the most scientific devices that hu
man genious can devise yet the cost
of living is still high and thousands
even millions go hungry every day.
There is an abundance of raw ma
terials and numberless shops and
factories yet hosts of human beings
are ill-clad and poorly shod and in
adequately housed. We have judges
and courts and lawyers and legisla
tors, yet most of the laws are frac
tured'and the miscarriage of justice
is a phenomenon too well known to
us all. We have railway trains carri
ages, bicycles, automobiles and aero
planes but the multitudes are still a
foot with their burdens on then
backs. We have countless schools
and colleges with armies of trained
teachers and myriads of eager stu
dious youths yet ignorance is still a
curse and calamity and the things
the wisest knows not will make a big
ger book than things he knows. Al
though Jesus said “Come unto me all
ye that labour and are heavy laden
and I will give you rest” the van of
humanity marches onward burdened
down with the cares and worries of
this world. And so the cloud of worry
Hancock’s Sermon
unday
t C. White)
hangs like a pall over mankind as
men grope uu into the shadow of the
years. The world is worried although
it is better fed and better clothed
tnan in any age gone by. Although
the common man enjoys blessings that
weio unknown to k.ngs and monarchs
of the ancient world; although man
can bind the lightning to his char
iot wheel and tame the wierd light
nings: although science has brought
forth a new heaven and a new earth
and all but promises the remaking of
God’s creation; although religion is
now strengthening its far flung and
stubborn battle lines against the
enemies of men’s soul. THE WORLD
IS TOILING BENEATH THE
CROSS OF WORRY although we are
urged by the Master to take no
thought for the morrow” which
means in excess DON’T WORRY a
bout thngs ahead of us. Let us notice
1. THECAUSE OF MUCH WORRY.
1. The decline of spiritual values
More and more men are discount
ing spiritual values and stressing
material things. We live in a ma
terialistic age when men have set
their minds on things. The plagues
that vext the Pharaohs in Egypt are
nothing to be compared to the plague
of things. GOD SAVE US FROM
THE DAMNATION OF THINGS.
2. The decay of faith.
More and more men are living by
sight and not by faith. It seems as if
the tender plant o ffaith is wither
ing in the hearts of men. Faith has
wrought wonders in this world and
for ages mankind could not see and
had to swing out on the arms of
faith.
THE RESULTS OF MUCH WORRY
1. The embitterment of life..
The sweet fountain of life is em
bittered bv worry and men are get
ting snarlish and snappy. Worry is a
toxin that poisons the moral system
and unfits men for the pleasant in
tercourses of life. There is no great
er blessing than the companionship
of sweet and cheerful friends whose
contenances shine upon our pathway
Ike the meridian sun. There
is no greater curse than asso
ciations with those in whose soul
the rancors of bitterness abide. Life
has a mysterious joy when unmarr
ed by sin and its wories.
2. The shortness of life-the rapid in
crease of heart disease a worry
disease. Few and short are the years
of our sojourn and fewer and short
er still be reason of worry.
THE CAUSE OF WORRY
1. Live a day at a time, to-morrows
cross too heavy for today’s shoulders.

For Giving.”

ed by our Gifts?”
Rev. W. B. Ball, Pastor
“Give us this day our daily bread.”
Make good today, serve my fellow

is a today religion, today is salvation
come nigh unto you.
2. Let the world go by don”t race
with it. It is bound to leave you so
let it pass and “take time to be holy.
The world rushes on.” DON’T LET
THE WORLD GO BY WE CAN
NOT KEEP UP WITH IT SO
DON’T CHASE AFTER IT.
3. Do right don’t worry. Do right
today and tomorrow will take care
of itself. Don’t frown, do riht. Don’t
find fault do right, don’t- despair do
right, don’t watch the other fellow
YOU do right, do not doubt the tri
umph of truth and righteousness, do
right.
4. Trust God. It is an old prescrip
tion for soul disease but it is the
best I can bring you this morning.
Cast all your burdens on the Lord
and He will sustain you. As long as
God lives all is well. “Ten thousand
blessings in has hands to satisfy the
poor.” He has given unto us exceed
ing great and precious promises. He
tells that the gates of Hell cannot
prevail against His church. Iln His
house are many mansions yes man
sions Jesus said it and I. Every
work shall be brought into judgement
whether good or bad. The angel of
the Lord encampeth around those
that fear Him. They that trust God
shall be as Mount Zion , cannot be
moved.

READ THE WORDS OF THIS
GRATEFUL LADY WHO PUT
KONJOLA TO THE TEST
Results are what count, and Kon
jcla can be counted on for results.
Sufferers want to get well, and Kon
jola wins triumph after triumph,
even when all else tried has failed.
Consider, for instance, the happy ex
perience of Mrs. Susie Winston,520
North Third Street, this city. Then
visit the Konjola Man at the People’s
Service Drug Store, 101 East Broad
Stieet, Richmond. He is there to
tell you exactly what Konjola has !
done and is doing. You will not !
hear mere praises, but actual facts
about this remarkable medicine of
32 ingredients, 22 of which are the
juices of roots and herbs. But right
now read the statement of Mrs.
Winston who says:
- I
Mrs. Susie Winsfon
520 N. Third St.
“For more than a year I suffered
awful torments from rheumatism and
neuritis. There were days at a time
when it was impossible for me to
walk. My nerves and stomach be
came weak, and my general health
was badly run down. But three bot
tles of Konjola created a new world
for me, and today, after taking six
bottles, I have not a trace nor sign
of my ailments. I have gained in
strength and energy, and am in bet
ter health than for year*.”
This Konjola works, swiftly yet
thoroughly. It is best, just like Mrs.
Winston, did, to take six or eight
bottles.
The Konjola Man is at the Peo
ple’s Service Drug Store, 101 West
Broad Street, Richmond, where daily
he is meeting the public and ex
plaining the merits of .this remarka
ble medicine.

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM
BUSY PEOPLE
By R. W. JOHNSON
If at any time throughout the year
our heart could be searched it would
disclose abundant chanty, friendli
ness, good fellowship and good will.
But we are very busy people, in
tensely pre-occupied with our own
The conditions of life hurry us
on.
Our backs must be bent to> the
burden, our nose held close to the
grindstone.
The treasures of the heart reman
behind closed doors, which there is
neither time nor opportunity to un
lock.
h! What a blessed thing it is that
once in a year good old St. Nicholas
taps us on the shoulders, and bids us
rise, wipe the sweat from our brow
and hail our friends with the cor
dial greetings and good wishes of the
Christmas Season.
How gladly we respond, how warm
and sincere are our expressions oL
affections and good will. 3
All this and much more is eim

We wish you a “Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year."
All this and much more we send
you as our Christmas message and
may the years to come bring you
many greetings from a host of
