Hall Stirs Hearer At Pythian Rogation Service The annual rogation services of the Lampton St. Baptist church last Sunday afternoon. After the usual beautiful parade through the principal streets of the city, the members of the Order and citizens taxed Lampton St. church to utmost capacity to witness one of the most interesting and inspiring program in the history of the Order. The annual address was delivered by Mr. H. E. Hall, the President of the Mammoth Life and Accident Insurance Co., Mr. Hall was at his best and stirred his auditors with his eloquence and logic. He commended the good that was being done by the organization but did not mince his words in telling them that were not doing all that was expected of them, and that they were doing little for the material advancement of the race. He admonished them to either go into business themselves or to throw their unstinted support to business owned and operated by members of the race. He told them that they should strive to be true examples of the friendship of Damon and Pythias, instead of allowing the spirit of David and Goliath to enter their ranks. An able and soul stirring sermon to the Order was delivered by Rev. J. M. Williams, the pastor. The welcome address was delivered by Mr. Joe Boone. Response by Mr. Percy N. Haden. Scripture lessons and prayer by Prelate B. F. Houston. Mr. Alfred Booker served as Master of Ceremonies. A solo by Mrs. Lucy Jones, and duet by Mr. walker and Miss Louise Plunkett, were well rendered.

Bills of Interest to The Race Introduced
Y. M. C. A. CAMPAIGN TO CLOSE MONDAY (By Sam Givens.) Monday, May 9th, will mark the close of the Every-Member-Get-A-Member campaign that has been conducted by the Chestnut St. Y. M. C. A. this week. This campaign, which was started off Friday night with an old fashioned Membership Social, has been fairly successful, considering various conditions that are prevailing at this season of the year. One of the most gratifying things that the drive has brought out is the interest that quite a number of the newer members of the "Y" are taking in the securing of memberships. Drs. Pickett, Clowney and G. D. Smith are keeping up with Dr. "Pender" Flack and Messrs. Mathews and Steward and the remainder of the "Reliables." The Hon. Roscoe Grant is out "gunning" for prospects. Dr. Pickett, the pride of the East Side, and the rest of the Campaign Committee is appealing to every man who believes in lining up with the things that stand for race advancement to take advantag eof the special Campaign Fee of $3.00 yearly for men and $1.50 for boys. The regular joining fee is $5.00 for men and $2.50 for boys. Physical Director Taylor is particularly anxious to fill out the men's evening Gymnasium Class that is forming and is emphasizing this feature along with the swimming pool in his appeal for new members. The Y. M. C. A. Sunday School Base ball League has been organized and will start its season the middle of June. There is still room for several more Sunday School teams. See Mr. Taylor. Unless the chance to save $2.00 is nothing in your young life, sign up during the next two days for a year's membership in the Chestnut St. "Y". IT'S YOUR "Y".

LEADER COVERING KENTUCKY LIKE A BLANKET The Leader is fast making its way into every nook and corner in the grand old State of Kentucky. Through the efforts of those who are working in the Leader Church Aid Plan and the liberal offer acepted by agents through out the State, more than 1,000 copies of the Leader were sold in April over March, and this worthy race publication is slowly but surely finding its way into hearts and homes of those who appreciate the efforts of the publisher of a newspaper, that is bent on giving the race and the whole people a newspaper worthy of the name. Not only is it in the Leader's plan to cover Kentucky like a blanket, but to invade Tennessee, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois and Ohio, and the other states, where our people are thickly populated and by systematic methods place thousands of copies a week over the number that is now being sent to those parts. The publisher's plan for a greater paper and a greater service is well under way. Watch our columns.
