Having practiced the exercises for proper breathing, as explained in lesson the next step is to overcome awkwardness and the tendency to hold the body rigid. Floating as explained in this lesson will aid greatly In overcoming this obstacle. Stand In water waist deep, with your- knees bent so that-your shoulders are submerged.

Tip your head backward until the ears are just under the water. Extend the arms sidewards, palms down. In- hale deeply. Push gently away from the bottom of the pool. If -you are quite relaxed, and have not dropped your head too far backward, the body will slowly come to the horizontal position.

Keep the legs together, toes extended, but do not tense the muscles. Breath although at first, it is well perform the double respiratory act quickly and at long intervals, for keeping the lungs, well filled will increase buoyancy. As soon breath rhythmically. When the lungs are well filled, they act in much the same capacity as air-filled- -devices for supporting the body in water. They are nature's natural life-saving device.

Some persons float quite naturally because the body tissues are evenly proportioned and distributed. Persons who are overweighted with bones and muscles proportion to supporting fatty tissues, will need to assume a perfectly, correct floating position and keep' the lungs well filled with air in order to counteract this handicap. Even at that, they may experience- difficulties. Sometimes spreading the legs slightly, or extending the arms overhead, just under the surface of the water, or even bending the knees very slightly, will bring about the proper readjustment. With patience, persistence, and experimentation, the proper balance may be mastered.

TELLS OF EDUCATION. In speaking of his education, the article states: "He was a graduate from Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn in 1891, receiving the degree of bachelor of arts, and in 1894 he received the degree of bachelor of divinity.

In the same year he was called to a church in Atlanta, where he remained 25 years. When the United States entered the World War General commissioned him to visit the negro troops at the front and act as their spiritual adviser. He became pastor of the Nazarene Congregational church, Brooklyn. X. in 1919.

The New York moderator, we are told, looks upon the honor accorded him as an evidence of Christian liberality and the decline of race prejudice. Looking to his own people, he believes, as he is quoted in the New York Evening Post: "The one compelling need of the negro In this hour is an adequate church life. One of the great handicaps of the colored" race has been that it has not sufficient variety in denominational life. It needs a larger opportunity for SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST. In the New York Age.

Every nation under the sun is represented in the conference by a delegate, and it is said that not one person present sounded a discouraging note MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION, The writer has been asked by the American Missionary Association to give its recognition in regard to its activities in negro education. The executive committee at its June meeting receljtty recognized the continuous and faithful services of Professor Inborden, who had served as principal of Joseph K.

Brick Junior College for 31 years. The committee voted to make him principal emeritus. In speaking of Professor Inbor-den's education, the article states: "From Virginia he went to Ohio and entered Oberlin Academy, where he prepared for Fisk University, from which school he holds a degree. His first church was in Beauford, X. C.

That fall the American Missionary Association sent him to Helena. where he organized a school and remained for two years. He was sent to Albany Normar School: after two years he was assigned to his life work near Enfield, N. C. "The James K.

Brick Junior College received its name from the late Mr. and K. Brick of Brooklyn, N. who owned the land on which the school stands-At their death they left a considerable sum to the school, most of which was used In the erection of buildings. Recently Brick school was surveyed by the North Carolina department of negro education, and the American.

Missionary Association was advised to advance the educational program to that of junior college grade. This was done, beginning with the fall of 1925., Professor William H. Hol-loway, educational field secretary for the American Missionary Association, was assigned to the college last year as actiw dean. MAINTENANCE OF SCHOOL.

The growth of Brick school, the character of its graduates and the influence which the institution had had through its farmers' meetings and other conferences "speak eloquently for Professor Inborden's vision and work.

For forty years and more the zealous sons of the Josephites congregation have been engaged in the work of their conversion. "Epiphany 'Apostolic College is the preparatory school for St. Joseph's Seminary, Baltimore, where young men are trained for the priesthood on the colored mis-, sion field as members of the St. Joseph's Society.

The Society of St. Joseph had its origin in the wishes of the bishops at the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore. The members of that body were of the opinion that an organization of American-trained priests would best be able to cope with the problem that the church in this country saw in reference to the negro. WORK IS BEGUN. "Father Herbert Vaughn, later Cardinal Vaughn, began the society-in 1866 at Mill Hill, London, England.

In order to secure funds for his work, Dr. Vaughn traveled for several years in North and South America. Writh the encour agement of Archbishop Manning, a start was made on March 1, 1866. In the autumn of 1871 St. Joseph's College had assigned to it by the Holy See its first sphere of work.

Early in the year Dr. Vaughn went to Rome, and there at the feet of Pius IX offered his little band for whatever his holiness might assign therru MISSION IN AMERICA. "The result was that in November, 1877. Father Vaughn with four priests sailed from Southampton for Baltimore. The little party met friendly reception in Maryland and the archbishop of Baltimo placed at their disposal St.

Francis Xav-ier's church. Before returning to England Father Vaughn made a tour of the Southern states to study the condition of the negro. "More workers were needed. In 1887, by th'e Joint action of Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop Vaughn, then superior general of the missionaries, it was resolved to open a seminary at Baltimore. Sulpi'clah Fathers, in charge of St.

Mary's Seminary, granted permission to the students of the proposed seminary leave to attend their course of lectures. The following year a building was obtained and this was opened in 1889 as Epiphany Apostolic College. INDEPENDENT BODY FORMED. "With the approbation of Cardinal "Vaughn, then bishop of Sal- ford, some of the fathers of St. Joseph's Society in 1882 separated from the parent society in England and formed an independent organization here in March, 1891.

A memorial was drawn with the knowledge of Cardinal Gibbons and sent to Cardinal Vaughn, praying that the proposal so often made by the latter should be carried into effect and that an American society be constituted an independent order," The writer will in next week's letter give something of the prominence of negro Catholics in the Eucharist Congress in Chicago.

-The Spaniards, satisfying their desires for recreation by applauding" bulls ripping their horns into the abdomens of blindfolded horses, were reacting to the old conquistador Epirit which sought conquest by slaying those who stood in their way and making slaves of the remnant who feared them. V- ATTITUDE INEFFICIENT. This attitude toward life is Inefficient. It does not get the same results that are obtainable by cooperation and education. The leaders of Spanish public opinion are now becoming aware of the danger which the bull ring threatens their efforts to give Spain a new progressive impetus.

A government commission is inquiring into the bull ring rules and eventually bull fighting, if not abolished outright, will have its cruelties eliminated. Primo de Rivera has declared against the slaughter of horses in the ring and has challenged Spanish nablTc opinion to condemn hlnv-for his attitude. This is the most promising stand the Spanish dictator has taken since he assumed the post of chief of the government. It shows the dawn of a new spirit in JSpain and a realization of the' true direction of modern progress. Spain has made larger strides forward since the ending -of the World War, in comparison with the prewar positions of the European nations any other Latin-Eu-tktns than any other Lattn-Eu-ment is gaining in force continuously and if sustained will have In the, end consequences affecting the balance of power throughout the" world.
