METHODIST WOMEN
OF 4 STATES HOLD
GOOD-WILL MEETING
ATTENTION!
PROSPECTIVE HOME
OWNER
The Social Service Institute for the
Southwest, conducted in First Church,
Dallas, Texas, recently, under the aus-
pices of the Race Relations Commis-
sion of the Woman's Missionary
Council, was well attended and most
successful. More than a hundred wo-
men, prominent in Methodist circles
in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and
Missouri, were present.
The speakers included Mrs. J. W.
Downs, Miss Estelle Haskin, Miss
Mary DeBardeleben, Mrs. W. A.
Newell, Miss Ruth Reed, and R. B.
Eleazer, each of w horn v delivered a se-
’ries of addresses dealing with some
phase of race relations. Among the
subjects presented were “Interracial
Understanding,” “Negro Achieve-
ments,” “Education and Race Rela-
tions,” and “Methods of Interracial
Work.” Dr. J. W. Perry delivered a
convincing address on “The Power of
Christian Principles to Overcome Race
Antagonism and Substitute Good
Will.”
One of the most effective features
of the meeting was the presence and
participation of two colored women of
character and achievement, Mrs.
Booker T. Washington and Mrs. Janie
Porter Barrett. Intelligent, cultured,
unassuming, manifesting the finest
Christian-spirit, and distinguished for
service to their race, these women
gave to many of the delegates a new
appreciation of what the race is capa-
ble of and a deeper sympathy with its
upward struggle under heavy handi-
caps. Mrs. Washington was invited
also to address the missionary insti-
tute at Southern Methodist University
and made a fine impression on faculty
and students.
Mrs. Luke Johnson, chairman of
the Council Race Relations Commis-
sion and director of Woman’s Work
of the General Commission on Inter-
racial Co-operation, called the meet-
ing and had charge of the program.

ed harder and the result surpassed

ed to date, 1223.16. Baby Joyce Lo-

Baby Vera Lee Smith; the amount re-
ported being $39.25. The third prize,
a w'onderful green gold ring, was won
by Baby Cerelia Lyndell Parris, the

shows that the third amount raised
this year ($32.41) exceeded that of
the highest amount raised, last year,
which proves the wonderful spirit and
interest manifested in this contest.

CURED HIS RUPTURE
I was badly ruptured while lifting
trunk several years ago. Doctors said
my only hope of cure was an operation
Trusses did me no good. Finally I got
hold of something that quickly and com-
pletely cured me. Years have passed and
the rupture has never returned, although
I am doing hard work as a carpenter.
There was no operation, no lost time, no
trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will
give full information about how you may
find a complete cur» without operation,
if you write to me, Eugene M. Pullen,
Carpenter, 105-K Marcellus Avenue, Man
asquan, N. J. Better cut out this notice
and show it to any others who are rup-
tured—you may save a life or at least
stop the misery of rupture and the wo^ry
and danger of an operation.
