At The Nation's Capital AN AUDIENCE OF 8,000 WITNESSES THE CLOSING EXERCISES OF ARMSTRONG NORMAL, NO. 2, AND M. STREET HIGH SCHOOLS. Diplomas are given to 184 Young Men And Women, a Score of Whom Win Scholarships and Prizes. Vernon is Still on the Job and Rumors are at Rest as to His Early Removal. Crum Makes a Good Impression at the State Department. Terrell is Slated for the First Vacancy in Howard's Law Faculty. Thompson's National News Bureau, Washington, D. C., June 2—The most brilliant audience of the year numbering full, 8,000 gathered at Convention Hall on last Friday evening to witness the graduating exercises of the Normal School No. 2, M. Street High School, and the Armstrong Technical High School. The great hall, was a blaze of electric lights, and the massive semi-circular girders, which form the roof, were most lavishly decorated with festoons and streamers of the national colors, mantles and banners, while the stage was set with potted plants, palms and cut flowers. The march of the graduating classes to the rostrum in always an "event," and this year the graceful young women and the many young men seemed to walk with a more stately stride than usual. In addition to the 148 graduates on the immense platform, this year there was a chorus of two hundred voices, which added greatly to the beauty of the picture. All of the young ladies wore pure white, and some of the gowns were "dreams" of the modiste's fascinating art. The members of the High School wore their uniforms, while the non-military contingent was attired in the conventional black. In the forground of the platform were seated many persons prominent in the life of the nation, and the remark was common that "In no city on the continent can there be gathered together on short notice a more distinguished audience of international characters than in Washington, Capt. James W. Oyster, president of the Board of Education, presided, and with him were the members of the Board, three of whom are colored. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Attorney R. R. Horner and Rev. W. V. Tunnell, Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conkling Bruce was in general charge of the arrangements, and Prof. E. C. Williams, principal of M. Street, Dr. W. Bruce Evans, principal of Armstrong Marshall, and Mrs. Tilly E. Moton, principal of the Normal, looked after the welfare of their respective schools, announcing the names of their graduates when the time came to present the diplomas. Among the distinguished guests present were: Dr. W. D. Crum, Minister to Liberia; Col. Robert Smalls, collector of customs, Beaufort, S. C.; George W. Ellis, late Secretary of Logation at Monrovia, Liberia, Africa; W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury; Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Court; Former Governor P. R. S. Pinchback, of New York; Mrs. B. K. Brute; Dr. Thomas Jese Jones, of the Census Bureau; Attorney James F. Bundy and Attorney R. R. Horner, the speaker of the evening, and the Hon. Washington Gardner, Representative in Congress from Michigan, who presented the diplomas. The address of Mr. Horner was rich in thought and the delivery was eloquent and convincing. The salient points were greeted by enthusiastic applause. The germ thought presented by Mr. Horner is conveyed in this excerpt: "Ten millions' of our people who were but yesterday slaves," said Mr. Horner, "whose ancestors were taken by force from their native land and transported to these cold and hostile shores to become articles of commerce, are today struggling for a place of honor among this mighty people that led them in bondage less than fifty years ago. We are forced to enter into competition with this strong and intellectual race, which, in the progressive attainments of civilization, is centuries in advance of us. Handicapped as we are, never the less, we are a part and parcel of the American people, and though retarded by inheritance and training, and rendered weaker thereby, we are, to a very great extent, thrown upon our own resources as a race and must of necessity rely upon our own efforts to accomplish the best results in the onward progress of the nation. "The race must no longer expect others to carry its burdens. In this strictly commercial age, when men and nations are struggling to reach the top with all the ability, cunning and energy at their command, there is very little time for sentiment, and the weaker brother must develop strength or go to the wall. The law of the survival of the fittest sounds harsh and cruel, but it is logical and just. The other race in this country has its own burdens, and we should not expect its members to assume those belonging to us that we our selves should carry. A race is made strong by bearing its own burdens and solving its own great problems." Mr. Horner is a man of marked ability and stands high in this community. In the seven years that he CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1910. has been a resident of Washington, he has built up a large and lucrative law practice; has been elected a delegate to the republican national convention, and is now serving his second term as a member of the Board of Education. Congressman Gardner, of Michigan, in presenting the diplomas to the graduates, made an excellent address, counselling industry, honesty and frugality as the cardinal virtues that bring enduring success in life. The covered roll of parchment was handed to 184 graduates, each being warmly applauded as he or she advanced to the front. The Galt prize of $50 was divided into two parts. The first prize of $30 was won by David A. Lane, while the second prize of $20 was presented to Jessie B. Watts. Scholarships were conferred as follows: M. Street High School—Howard University, Inez Arrangton and Leonard Johnson, College of Arts and Sciences; Leon Moyer, dental department; Willis Richardson, school of pharmacy; Syracuse University, Wilfrid Lawson and Lloyd Newman; University of Pittsburg, W. G. Haynes; Harvard University, Harry S. Keelan. Armstrong Technical High School—University of Pittsburg, College of Engineering, Avery schoolships, William R. Smalls, and Alruthaea Taylor; Howard University, College of Arts and Sciences, Anna H. Cattell and Herbert L. Stevens; Howard University, Teachers' College, Raymond A. Davis and Nelson Irving; Dartsmouth, McKinley Bowle Simmons College, Boston, Masse, division of home economics, Jennie Hill Cornell. Normal School, No. 2—To Teachers' College, Howard University, Della Anna Bundy, Hilda Freeman and Miriam Wormley. The prizes and scholarships were presented in admirable fashion by Rev. W. V. Tunnell, of the Board of Education. During the evening the Marine Band, under the direction of Lleut. W. H. Santlemann, discoursed sweet music, the famous sextete from "Lucia" being particularly well done, and the great chorus sang "The Pilgrim's Chorus" and gave an exceedingly fine interpretation of S. Coleridge's Taylor's "Gitche Gumce" from "Hiwatha," directed by Prof. John T. Layton. The school year has been highly prosperous under the efficient administration of Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce. President Oyster, in his opening address, paid Prof. Bruce a richly-merited compliment when he said that Washington's schools were never in such a superb condition and that the force behind the forward movement was the capable and pains taking assistant superintendent, whose services the nation's capital was fortunate enough to command. Prof. Williams has made good in the nine years he has been in charge of M. Street and Armstrong continues to develop under the strong generalship of Dr. Evans. A new $65,000 addition is to be erected this year. Normal School No. 2 has maintained its customary high standing through the energy and skill of that eminent educator, Miss Lucy E. Moten. Miss Moten goes to Europe this year on a tour of pleasure and observation and will bring back many new and helpful ideas gleaned from a study of educational conditions and methods abroad. She may include Egypt in her itinerary. The court-martial of Capt. S. P. Lyon, of the 25th Infantry, is on Fort Myer, Va., before an army board. He is charged with having made conflicting statements touching the ammunition question in connection with the inquiry into the Brownsville shooting episode. A great deal of unnecessary fuss is being raised over the affairs of the law department of Howard University. It is a "tempest in a teapot." Late last season, Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Court, was placed on the staff as an occasional lecturer on legal subjects. He has filled the bill admirably, and at the last meeting of the Board of Trustees, was continued as such. Prof. W. H. Hart, who has been with the institution from the outset, was also retained, as was Prof. W. H. Richards, another veteran in the cause. Some changes of a minor character were made, the financial condition of the school was passed upon and the Board adjourned. That was all there was to the sensation that has been so warmly discussed in some quarters during the past month. Persons who appeared before the Board had their favorites and they spoke for them, as they had right to do and to them the Board listened patiently and courteously. President W. P. Thirskard has the best interests of the law school at heart and his policy will always be to get the best do the best and adhere to the loftiest standards. Whenever a vacancy occurs, in the natural order of things it is pretty certain that Judge Terrell will be given a regular and permanent assignment on the staff as lecturer, a situation with which he is perfectly satisfied. It does no one any good to wash dirty linen in public. Dr. Booker T. Washington will not resign or decline the life membership conferred upon him by the World's Sunday School Convention, which met here recently. The international body had nothing to do with the barring of the Negroes from the street parade and it should not be blamed for that disgrassful act. The blame lies with local committee. The body at large rebuffed the local committee by electing Dr. Washington so promptly and so heartily. He could not afford to rebuke in turn these upright Christian men and women for trying to make amends for the narrow action of persons over whom they had no control. There is no reason why Dr. Washington should not remain a member of the world's greatest body of Christian workers. Register W. T. Vernon is "hoicing his own row" in peace and happiness since his return from the "Golden West." Just before his departure it was made known that he would be retained in the position he has so capably filled for the past four years, and agitation as to his successor has suddenly stopped. It is stated by the close friends of Mr. James C. Napler that the genial Tennessee would have accepted the Registration had it been decided by the President to make a change in the office; but he was in no sense an opponent of the present incumbent and would not have gone a step out of his way to influence anyone to have Mr. Vernon removed. It is now stated that a suitable berth will be found here for Mr. Napler, as it is pretty well established that he does not care to leave the country, and it is thought that the place provided will be one not herefore held by a colored man. In the meantime, the admirers of Mr. Vernon are delighted with the prospect of having him in this community for another four years. He has been the most important man of the people, and the masses swear by him. His voice has been lifted up on all kinds of occasions, inspiring young and old to strive for the heights. His home has been the center of a radiant influence for social elevation, and his door has been open to all kinds and conditions of mankind. The cordiality of the welcome extended has not been dependent upon the nature of the work by which one earned his daily bread nor by the size of the salary he draws. Register Vernon, has won his friends by showing himself friendly—to be equally interested in the things that affect the humblest as well as the most exalted. Washington society needs tall figures like Dr. Vernon and gracious women like his estimable wife. Everybody is glad that President Taft has come to know the Register as his people have long known him, and has concluded that his administration is helped by the presence of such a useful and loyal assistant. President Taft's address to the managers of the Marion Institute, of Alabama, urging greater attention to the education of the less fortunate whites of the South, is universally commended by the thinking Negroes of the District. It is well-known that the greatest foe with which the ambitious colored people of the South has to contend is the "po-white," who has been taught to regard his color alone as the open sesame to the good things of life. Realizing that the industrious and enterprising Negro is his rival, instead of getting down to hard work with both his hands and head, he undertakes to maintain his supremacy by keeping the Negro down by brute force and through a reign of terror, the blacks in unprojected regions afraid to take hold of the advantages that build up good citizenship. Until these people are instructed as to their responsibility toward the development of the South and of themselves—until they are educated and civilized and Christianized, those who strive for a solution of the so-called Negro problem will labor under a serious handicap. In thus plainly pointing out to the southern leaders of thought their duty toward the poor whites of their section, and emphasizing the value of industrial and ethical training to them, President Taft shows that he has been giving the real race problem the closest study and has struck at the very root of the situation. The education of the poor white must go hand in hand with that of the Negro, if the best results are to be obtained.

Atlanta Conditions Unfavorable TO ITS BLACK CITIZENS; SAYS I. GARLAND PENN, IN LENGTHY ARTICLE TO THE LATIANA CONSTITUTION. Increased Facilities for the Education of Negro Children, for not Half of . Whom are Schools Provided, are badly Needed, as is a Reformatory for Youthful Law-breakers, now Herded in Jails with Habitual Criminals. Schools Compared with the se in Other Cities, with Industrial Training Advocated. (By Horace D. Slatter.) Atlanta, Ga., June 20—What the White Man in the South is doing for the Negro, is the topic on which practically all discussion in Atlanta is now based. By this time the public generally is informed as to the wide-spread interest in that question, which was begun by the Atlanta Constitution several weeks ago in a very strong editorial on the re-missness of Southern whites in this particular. It was not so generally known outside of Atlanta, however, how very conspicuously Dr. I. Garland Penn, Assistant General Secretary of the Epworth League, Methodist Episcopal church, has figured in this discussion criticism and the maximum of help." Let only the facts be stated that we may know where we are. "A few weeks ago, an ante-bellum Negro preacher of South Carolina, aristocratic, dignified, polished and consercered, sat about my table and told my children where he got his training in Christianity and manners. It was in the home of a South Carolina Christian white man and woman, who at that time owned him; and in many respects, to be truthful, he showed that a better job had been wrought in his training, than in that of some of the young people of my race today. There are no more slaves and slave holders—Thank God but trust. In the Constitution of May 29th, the whole editorial section was given to replies and letters from various ministers, laymen of all walks of life in the city and surrounding community, commenting upon the broadness of the Constitution and heartily approving the suggestions made. Included in these interviews appeared one from Dr. Penn, which was so very pronounced in its tone and so truthful in picturing the great responsibility resting upon the people of the dominant race in the South that the Constitution not only featured his interview, but later wrote to representative Negroes of the community, seeking their opinion of the matter as formerly expressed by him. In the issue of Sunday, June 19th, appeared a third installment of this great debate, in which prominent Negroes of the community, empathetically endorsed the ringing appeal made by Dr. Penn, and all acknowledging that the Southern white man might do more for the immediate uplift of the Negro. Of practical significance was the second interview from I. GarlamH Penn, which according to suggestions made by Mr. Clark Howell, sought to give to the white people of the South some suggestions as to how they might begin, at once to be of more valiant service to the "unreachable Negro" around them. Mr. Penn's article was vigorous, forceful and sensible, and went down to the heart of the situation. In the Interview, as it appeared in the Constitution, he said, among other things: "In my article appearing in the Constitution of May 29th, I promised when the opportunity presented itself, to tell our white people in our beloved Southland, how they could help in the uplift of the masses of our race, and in that, help themselves. In the beginning let me say that this great debate is yielding a world of good in the frankness and candor of the discussion; in the recognition of some progress in the race by the representative white men and women who have written upon it; and, as such, an encouragement to those of the race who are trying to go upward. It is arousing the Negro to the need of larger effort upon his part to go after his people, as well as the opportunity of the Christian white people to aid him. "The hour, therefore, was never more opportune than now, for a forward and concerted movement in which Christian people of both races, "to the bridge of social separation," may engage in some large way for "the reaching of the unreached" Negro. By way of diversion, it is well to add that sensible Negroes are agreed upon the "bridge of social separation," so it need be no element in this or any other discussion to frustrate God's purpose in the noble work you have begun. "The "Reaching of the Unreached" you will remember, was the slogan of the Negro National Young Peoples Christian Congress, which met here in 1902, and that some tangible forward movement in which the brain and heart of the white man and black man may be knit together by God's love, to pull from the jaws of the impending "Abyss"—to which Chief Jennings, as perhaps no other living man in the city can better see—the half-heathen Negro is going. "We are awake to it, friends. Helps us more. How? I have nothing new or sensational to offer. Sensation, confusion, who shall-be first and who-last, who shall be honored and who shall not, has no place in this. God's business. The watchword is "Service..." "Then 1st: The children and the youth of the race are to be reached en-masse. That's philosophical, logical and sensible. That's God's way — preservation and rescue, formation and reformation. The old way of reaching those Negroes who are regarded as the saved today, will save others, if we have enough equipment and enough workers. Criticism, let it be said, has no place in this discussion. Remember the words used in my article of May 29th; "let there be the minimum of criticism and the maximum of help." Let only the facts be stated that we may know where we are. "A few weeks ago, an ante-bellum Negro preacher of South Carolina, aristocratic, dignified, polished and consercered, sat about my table and told my children where he got his training in Christianity and manners. It was in the home of a South Carolina Christian white man and woman, who at that time owned him; and in many respects, to be truthful, he showed that a better job had been wrought in his training, than in that of some of the young people of my race today. There are no more slaves and slave holders—Thank God, but isn't the interest and method employed in the training of this South Carolina Negro and likewise in John Odum referred to in your editorial columns of Thursday, worth preserving and pursuing? Isn't after all, the white family, in which the Negro woman of my race works, in whose carriage the man of my race sits, interested in the family and house and home of that man and woman of my race? It was so with the family who owned my mother in Virginia and to this day her children can not and do not forget them. If that one line of Christian and missionary activity was pursued in general, as it is true in specific cases right here in Atlanta—what a revolution we should have in the next ten years. "2nd. More schools, and hence better equipment, a better paid and larger corps of efficient and consecrated teachers will help the situation. Atlanta is not without her schools for colored people, but compared with Indianapolis, St. Louis, Louisville, Richmond and other cities into whose schools I have gone in my travels, we, in Greater Atlanta, have just begun to partially meet the demands of our Negro population. What we are doing is good, so far as it goes; for some of the best and most useful Negroes in this city, have had no more training than our public schools afford. This ought to be a tremendous justification of what is being done and an incentive to do more. The one trouble is, the extent and scope of the system is inadequate as applied to the needs of our people. "Approximately there are 40,000 Negroes in Greater Atlanta. Easily three out of every five or 24,000 are under 21 years of age. There are actually as given by the State school Commissioner from 9,000* to 10,000 colored children of school age between five and eighteen years of age. There are only 4,778 Negro children enrolled in the public schools of the city, using less than ten buildings, only six of which are owned by the city, and the rented ones some of them have only two rooms. The actual enrollment would be considerably less, except for the fact that, I think, there are two sessions a day in 31 out of the 63 rooms, the first from 8:30 to 12:00 with one set of pupils, and the second, with another set, from 12:30 to 4:00, both sets taught by the same teacher. "With easily from five to 6,000 Negro children receiving no educational training, and very little religious training, the wonder is that conditions are not worse than they are. Surely, our hustling and busy Atlanta has not stopped to think about this side of things. We have been too busy with other things. We shall sow to the wind of neglect to reap a whirlwind of menace and crise with such conditions continued. "In Indianapolis, if I am correctly informed, with not near as large a Negro population as we have, there are 2,700 Negro children in the public schools, with nine brick buildings owned by the city, one set of pupils to a teacher a day, a high school, and an industrial department to the entire school system for girls and boys. In one room, I found Negro girls in the public schools making dresses, and the teacher told me that seventeen out of the nineteen girls in the class at that hour, made the dresses they wore. At another school they were making shoes, taught by one of the best shoemakers in the city; at another school they were tailoring; at another they were making chairs and picture frames, etc.; at still another, there was a squad out on a three-fourths-of-an-acre field, actually making a truck garden, and I was told they sold the vegetables in the afternoon from door to door. At another school, girls were taught cleanliness in cooking, the very thing we need, and of the like of such work going on in the training of Negro youth in that city it would require a column to tell. "Atlanta has not enough room to accommodate those in school but for two half day sessions in each of 31 CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX. ADVERTISMENTS PLEASE IN OUR COLUMNS BRING SULTS. TRY IT. NUMBER XLIV FOR NEGROES, WITH CEPTIONS FOUND TO HAD CONDITION Commended by Carnegie Found. For the Advancement of Teaching, ...but Others are Said to be Wasting ...Small Sums Annually and Sending out Undisciplined Men. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, which in the five years of its existence has already exerted a powerful influence for good upon institutions for higher education throughout the country, has just issued its bulletin number 4 showing the result of a very exhaustive inquiry into the subject of "Medical Education in the United States and Canada." In the chapter devoted to the medical education of the Negro, the bulletin reads: "The medical care of the Negro race will never be left wholly to the care of Negro physicians. Nevertheless, if the Negro can be brought to feel a sharp responsibility for the physical integrity of his people, the outlook for their mental and moral improvement will be distinctly brightened. The practice of the Negro doctor will be limited to his own race, which in its run will be cared for better by good Negro physicians than by poor white ones. But the physical well-being of the Negro is not only of moment to the Negro himself. Ten million of them live in close contact with sixty million whites. Not only does the Negro himself suffer from hookworm and tuberculosis; he communicates them to his white neighbors, precisely as the ignorant and unfortunate white contaminates him. Self-protection not less than humanity offers weight counsel in this matter; self-interest seconds philanthropy. The Negro must be educated not only for his sake, but for ours. He is, as far as human eye can see, a permanent factor in the nation. He has his rights and due and value as an individual, but he has, besides the tremendous importance that belongs to a potential source of infection and contagion." "The pioneer work in educating the race to know and to practice fundamental hygienic principles must be done largely by the Negro doctor and the Negro nurse. It is important that they both be sensibly and effectively trained at the level at which their services are now important. The Negro is perhaps more easily "taken in" than the white; and as his means of extracting himself from a blunder are limited, it is all the more cruel to abuse his ignorance through any sort of pretense. A well taught Negro.sanitarium will be immensely useful; an essentially untrained Negro wearing an M.D., degree is dangerous." "Make-believe in the matter of Negro medical schools is therefore intolerable. Even good intention helps but little to change their aspect. The Negro needs good schools rather than many schools, schools to which the more promising of the race can be sent to receive a substantial education in which hygiene rather than surgery, for example, is strongly accentuated. If at the same time these men can be imbued with the missionary spirit so that they will look upon the diploma as a commission to serve their people humbly and devotedly, they may play an important part in the sanitation and civilization of the whole nation. Their duty calls them away from large cities to the village and the plantation, upon which light has hardly as yet begun to break." "Of the seven medical schools for Negroes in the United States," (Washington, D. C.; Howard University; New Orleans; Flint Medical College; Raleigh, N. C.; Leonard Medical School; Knoxville; Knoxville Medical College; Memphis; Medical Department of the University of West Tennessee; Nashville; Meharry Medical College; Louisville; National Medical College.) five are at this moment in no position to make any contribution to the solution of the problem above pointed out; Flint ab New Orleans, Leonard at Raleigh, the Knoxville, Memphis, and Louisville schools are ineffectual. They are wasting small sums annually and sending out undisciplined men, whose lack of real training is covered up by the imposing M. D., degree." "Meharry at Nashville and Howard at Washington are worth developing, and until considerably increased benefactions are available, effort will wisely concentrate upon them. The future of Howard is assured; indeed, the new Freedman's Hospital is an asset the like of which is in this country extremely rare. It is greatly to be hoped that the government may display a liberal and CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR. CORRESPONDENCE 海口市1. BUCKHANNON.

Romney is the second-oldest town in the State and is made up more of the nobility of English, Scotch, Irish ancestry than perhaps any other town of its size in the State. It may be classed as a resident town as there are no manufactures of any note situated in it. There are 5 churches one Colored (M. E.) and it has a nice parsonage, a better building and more ground than any other church of the denomination in the district, Cumberland. Our school, a two-room building, has been in a more prosperous condition formerly than now, as only one room is used. The frequent change of teachers with some negligence on the part of the parents has caused this condition yet the school hopes to have soon the 2 rooms in operation Romney has sent out some very good scholars and excellent teachers, among them Miss Jennie Jackson, one of the teachers now of Lewisburg. Miss Jackson is a scholarly affable and painstaking teacher and has met with marked success in her chosen field. Children's Day was observed here Sunday. The program was fairly well rendered. Mrs. Mary Austin's solo was well rendered, she has a fine contallo voice. Miss Georgiana Jackson, sister of Miss Jennie Jackson, is home on her vacation from Storer College Georgiana is taking the full four years normal course.

I therefore notify you that the 10th Annual Session of the Grand Court is called to meet in the city of Parkersburg, Tuesday, August 2, 1910, for the transaction of such business as shall legally come before it. 2. Each Court is entitled to representation according to law, viz: Two representatives for each Court and three where membership exceeds 80. 3. All Subordinate Courts will please send in Endowment reports at once for this Quarter, in order that a complete report may be complied for Grand Court. 4. Each Court must send its per capita tax (unless same has been paid) and semi-annual Report by its representatives and be prepared to pay up all indebtedness to Grand Court for Emergency Tax, and any other debts to the Grand Court, if any are due. This MUST be done or such Courts will have no voice in the proceedings of the Grand Court. 5. All Past Worthy Counselors desiring to take the G. C. Rank, may do so, provided they have their P. W. C. Credentials. The fee for same is $2.00. 6. The Brethren and Sisters of Parkersburg are sparing no pains to make the approaching Session one of pleasure and profit. We sincerely hope that each Calanthe will do all in his or her power to make this session the superior of any which has been previously held. Our Grand Court is now reaching the point where it is recognized as a body of great influence and power for good, and ranks favorably with any Grand Court of any State. Let us endeavor to so strengthen and sustain it, that it may very long be the peer if not the superior of any Grand Court in the Supreme Jurisdiction. We also call special attention to the Pythian Mutual Investment Association and urge each Court to send representatives prepared and instructed to take some stock. All representatives and Officers of Grand Court will please notify Mrs Anna Washington, 543 Fourth St. Parkersburg, W. Va., so that homes may be provided before you come. With best wishes and kindest regards for all. We are yours in F. H. L. J. RUPERT JEFFERSON G. W. C. Attest: A WEST VIRGINIAN AMONG CONSERVATORY GRADUATES, Boston, Mass., June 22.—Among the fifty-four graduates from the New England Conservatory of Music was Mrs. Chas. E. Mitchell, of Institute, W. Va., who completed the four year course in piano forte yesterday. With Mrs. Elizabeth M. Jones, widow of the late J. McHenry Jones, also of Institute, Mrs. Mitchell sailed today for an extended tour through the British Isles and the continent. Mrs. Jones and Mr. Mitchell joined Mrs. Mitchell at Washington where she spent the few days intervening between the final examinations and the commencement exercises with relatives of her husband, the latter being among those at the pier here to see the party off. Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Mitchell will be abroad all the summer. LIBERIA IN DIFFICULTY American and Foreign Bankers Negotiating Loan to Pay Obligation. Washington, June 22.—With the probability of Liberia being unable to meet her obligations growing out of a loan to her by a British syndicate, the American government has interested itself in Liberia's financial affairs, it became known today. As a result, a group of American bankers with whom are associated British, French and German bankers, are negotiating a loan to Liberia of $1,500,000. The tentative terms proposed by the bankers are regarded by this government, it is said, as entirely consistent with the best interest of the African republic. HALIFAX IS GROWING OLD Halifax, N. S., June 22.—Halifax kept a public holiday today in celebration of the 161st anniversary of the founding of the city. The program included anniversary exercises in all the schools, together with numerous concerts, baseball and cricket matches and other sporting and athletic contests. ORDER OF PUBLICATION.

G. 1. JACKSON, Kanawha City, W. Va, A Sermon Delivered by Rev. J. W. Carroll Jr., Pastor, at the Simpson M. E. Church, Sunday, THURSDAY; JUNE 29, 1910 Text: St. Matthew, 16-18—And I say also unto thee, "That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." It was the end of the second year of Christ's ministry and after he had wrought the astounding miracle of feeding the five thousand, that many of his followers withdrew from him. "The crises had come," says one, "and naturally, while the enemies drew their bands of union more closely together against Christ, he turned to test the fidelity of his friends, and to develop his views more explicitly to them." It is true that in the midst of a busy life of healing and teaching the people, Christ paused long enough to ask, "Whom do men say that I the son of man am?" As much as to say, "What is the result of my ministry? What saith the world, that has heard my word and seen my works, in regards to my nature?" The disciples might have said in reply that some say that you are Beelzebub, the prince of the devils. But none but the malignant Phiaraees said that; and they could not indoctrinate the people with so dark calumny. On the heart of the masses Jesus had at least left a reverent impression of himself. So they answer, "Some say that Thou art John the Baptist; some, Ellias; and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets." Now the question is put to them, "Whom do ye say that I am?" This is the important question for which the whole is appointed. You will notice that the question is put to them all. It is 'whom do ye' and not 'whom do you' say that I the son of man am. The disciples as a body, an entire body, have been concerned. As the question is put to them all Peter is simply the spokesman for the others. It has been said that Peter is the foreman of the jury, who answers the Judge and pronounces the verdict for all the rest; and he receives an investiture from Christ for them all." Thus to Peter's answer, Christ replied, "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church" has received different interpretations from the scholars of the church. The first is the construction given by the church of Rome. This church affirms that the rock is Peter individually, that the commission constituted him supreme apostle, with authority, inherited from him by the bishops of Rome. An answer to this construction is found in the eloquent and truthful words of Dr. D. D. Whedon. Says he, "Not Peter alone, as may be shown, but each of the apostles was a rock and a recipient of the keys, and all were coequal in powers. In the next place, were the authority conveyed to Peter alone and personally, it must still be shown that this personal prerogative was among the successional attributes conferred upon him. In the last place, that Peter was ever bishop of Rome is without historical foundation. There are those who make the rock designate Christ himself. This class of thinkers holds that it is derogatory to Christ's dignity for there to be any other foundation stone of his church than Christ himself. They contend that Christ said this, "Thou art Peter, a stone, and upon this rock (pointing perhaps to himself) I will build my church. But this is inconsistent with the laws of natural interpretation. There are others still who understand that the confession which Peter made was a rock. Thou art a stone, and upon this rock of truth which thou hast confessed, and upon this faith which thou hast professed, will I build my church. But Biblical language always holds men, not truths, to be foundation stones. The rock is not the doctrine, nor the confession, but the confessor. Once more I refer to Dr. Whedon who says "I understand that it is the apostle himself who is the rock; yet not as a man, nor as a private confessor of the Savior's Messiahship, nor as Lord of the Apostle Twelve, but as a specimen and representative of what all twelve were. For the Church is said by the Apostle Paul in writing to the Ephesians (2nd Chap. 19:22) to be built upon the apostles and prophets. Peter himself (1. Peter 2:5) says, "Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house; an holy priesthood, to of- WATCHES All standard makes from our own guaranteed "dollar watch" to the famous HOWARD. We can please you in style and satisfy you in price. fer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. It is plain that the question which Peter answered was put to the whole twelve, and that the keys spoken of in the 19th verse were given to the whole. They were all Peters, or stones of the foundation, as well as he; only he, being the front stone of the pile, bore the inscription of the name Peter, which essentially belonged to all. To the question 'What then, is the Church of our Lord' we may answer, "The church is the concrete exponent of the kingdom of Christ. It is a formal organization of men which stands for the kingdom of Christ while that kingdom is in the process of formation. Not exactly as Kahnis said, "an aeon of the kingdom" I. e. a period of immeasurable duration; but rather, as Drasekos said, "the workshop of the kingdoms" or, as Neander most beautifully said, "the seminary for the heavenly community." This statement by Dr. Olin Curtis an eminent scholar and instructor of Systematic Theology in Drew Seminary is followed by this statement, "I am willing to allow just this much. The Church of our Lord belongs to his tentative kingdom (even as that kingdom exists today), and cannot be coextensive with it until, anyway, there is what St. Paul terms "a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing." But even this admission is somewhat misleading, for to many it will suggest that the difference between the kingdom and the church is merely that one is perfect and the other is imperfect. But that is not the fundamental difference, for the fundamental difference is one of essential structure. The kingdom is a simple personal and spiritual organization. The church is a formal and complex organism. The kingdom is a life of fellowship mediated only through Jesus Christ. The church is only a machine; at its best a machine full of life and expressing life, and yet a machine. In its worship and all its service, the church has and must have, some sort of outward instrument forms, symbols, creeds, what not; but the kingdom needs only the complete man. It, as some believe, the Christian Church itself is to be purified, completed, glorified, and then taken into eternity for everlasting worship and service, even then it will not be, strictly speaking, the kingdom of our Lord; but merely the formal instrument of that kingdom. It will be, perhaps, to the kingdom as a whole what the glorified body will be to the one moral person—the instrumental means of perfect objective manifestation." The word used for church in the Greek is ekklayseca. This is the word used by Christ. In the New Testament there are three words, synonymous words, which mean purch. But Christ used the one we have just named. This word was common among the Greeks. It was their common word for the lawful assembly in a free Greek city of all those possessing the rights of citizenship, for the transaction of public affairs. Ekklayseca is the word taken to designate a Christian church, a company of believers who meet for worship. We believe the old answer in the Church catechism of the Methodist Episcopal Church holds good today. The answer to the question, 'What is the visible church?' is 'The visible church of Christ is a congregation of faithful men, in which the pure word of God is preached and the sacraments duly administered according to Christ's ordinance.' (Matt. 16:18; Eph. 5:27; Acts 2:42). 'The invisible church is the whole body of God's true people in every period of time.' All persons where the gospel is preached ought to become believers in Christ and members of the church in order to have a visible union with Christ, the Head of the Church, and communion with his people. (Eph. 5:22; John 17:21; L. Cor. 12:20). Let us consider in the next place the power of the church. Starting with this organization or foundation, the church, has grown in power. From the time Christ said to Peter and to the twelve, "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I build my church DIAMONDS We can save you money on Diamond, Diamond Rings and Diamond Jewelry. Our stock is large, quality high and price based on cost to us before the recent rise. THE ADVOCATE and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it," the church has proved a mighty force in the world for good. The warlike habits of ancient nations required that all great cities should be girl with massy walls, able to resist the engineery of assault then in use. As the gates would be special points of attack, they were fortified so as to be specially impregnable. And as through the gates the whole city went in and out, there were always the concourse and the crowd. Their men resorted for the news, for marketing and for proclamations. The gates became structures with chambers, in which courts were held, legislation was performed, and negotiations with foreign nations transacted. Hence the word gate became a symbol of power and of empire. The gates of death, the gates of hell, were the powers of death or hell, Hell, here is in the original Hades (adou). The word properly signifies the invisible state or place of departed spirits, both of the righteous and the wicked. In this sense it is opposed or antithetical to the state of the living. But in a stricter or more usual sense it stands opposed to paradise, and signifies the abode of the departed wicked, for which we have no other English word than hell. The gates of hell are therefore the infernal powers, who from their invisible stronghold manifest their visible hostility. The rock-built church and the gates of hades are thence two opposing potencies." But Christ declares that these powers shall not prevail. "The battle may waver long and fearfully, but the rock-built fortress shall finally prove victorious." a. This power is seen in the influence the Church exerts over the home. As one has said, "From the beginning it has been a point in what may be called Christian strategy to gain vantage in the home. When Saint Paul teaches (1 Cor. 7: 14) that 'the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother,' he is not thinking of personal holiness at all. No unbeliever can be holy by proxy. But a home itself is under the divine plan a little organism, and to get into it even one point of Christian faith lifts the entire home into a new category for the Church. The church can treat that home as its own spiritual property, so to speak, and plan for it and even pray for it with a sense of Christian ownership." It is the business of the Church through its ministers and members to change conditions from bad ones to better ones. It is its business to teach the people how to live; how to provide proper food and shelter. We sometimes laugh at the Salvation Army, but they are having the proper conception of the work of the church when they seek to improve the condition of those whom they save or try to save. b. The church is to have power in dealing with moral questions. The church has a right to fight the saloon, the brother, the gambling den and whatever is detrimental to man. The church has a right to insist upon proper sanitary laws being enacted. c. The church is also to have power in the nation. Truly has one said that the family and the nation and the church belong to one divine plan, which through the centuries moves steadily toward the distant goal. This distant goal is that perfect brotherhood which is to be the everlasting kingdom of Christ, the inner circle of the kingdom of heaven, and the innermost circle of the whole kingdom of God." The Church is the reaven in this old world. And this leaven will leave the whole lump. Well may the Church sing and call to all of its members: Shake off the dust that blinds thy sight. Shake off the bands of sad despair Zion, assert thy liberty: Look up, thy broken heart prepare, And God shall set the captive free Vessels of mercy, sons of grace, Be purged from every sinful stain, Be like your Lord, His word embrace, Nor hear his hallowed name in vain. Institute, June 22.—The indications are that the attendance upon the West Virginia Colored Institute Summer School will exceed the estimate made when it was first proposed. Applications in large numbers have been received from teachers in adjoining states and Tennessee, and if the local teachers attend in anything like the numbers expected, the opening day should show an enrollment bordering on the half-hundred mark. All the regular instructors are expected Saturday when they will arrange a schedule for their lectures and apportion work. The dormitories to be used by the instructors and teachers have been made ready and the lawns of the institution trimmed in readiness for the out-door games. $60,000,000 for New Canadian Group Toronto, Ontario, June 32.—Official details show that the sum of $60,000,000 which has been secured by William Mackenzie in Europe for Canadian Northern railway development and allied interests instead of $40,700,000. The apportionment of the latter sum now has been made public as follows: For debentures of the Canadian Northern Railway Winnipeg street railway development New steamships, Canadian Northern railway subsidiary companies.

D. Mann from his partner, William Mackenzie, in the mails brought by the Royal Edward on this initial record breaking voyage from Bristol to Montreal, gave Mr. Mann his first knowledge that this immense sum for development purposes had been secured. He was waiting at the docks, and has practically admitted that he will always recall the Royal Edward as his "dream ship." The news of the treasure for western Canadian development purposes made it $\bullet$. The millions which will go into the building of the Duluth, Winnipeg and Pacific railway, the first link of which connects Duluth and Virginia, is another step in Donald Mann's plan to give the western states a further outlet to the Pacific. Easy grades and short mileage to tidewater are the chief items in his project for Canadian Northern construction through British Columbia to the Pacific. The. $14,000,000 for Dunsmuir Collieries, according to official advises, will be used for improvements which will double the output of the mines, and immensely increase the available coal supply in the western provinces. Coat will be sold in all the cities along the Pacific coast, including Seattle, Spokane, Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego, and in cities along the western coast of South America. However, the railroad requirements of the Canadian Pacific, Canadian, Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific in Canada will call for the bulk of the coal. Railways in the United States, including the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Southern Pacific will of necessity bunker with this coal. Also vessels in the Pacific coast trade. The financing of the collieries is regarded as one of the greatest strokes made by Mackenzie and Mann, who, together with the Davidson and McRae interests will be in control. The shrew foresight of William Mackenzie and D. D. Mann in planning years ago to acquire these coal properties to supply the transcontinental lines they then were proposing to build now is more than justified, as the coal will not only be a full supply but will furnish a large freight tonnage.

It is estimated by W. L. Coulson, mining expert, that the property includes 60,000,000 tons of coal of a quality superior to any mined on the Pacific coast, and therefore commanding a higher price. It is bittuminous and adapted for gas, steam and domestic use.

What will such ignorance as so many of our youth are growing up in, and such helplessness as is apparent, because of the lack of industrial training, lead us to? Can anything be reasonably expected but vagrancy, crime and death here and an awful judgment to atone for over "The Great Divide" because of this neglect? "No wonder Chief Jennings—in this respect a prophet and seer standing at the gate by municipal government, where he, or all, may best see the onward march to the Abyss of 3,637 youthful Negroes from under 12 to 20 annually, in this one city and sounds the bingle that the "Negro is headed upward the abyss unless the white man aids, "and that if we had the proper means of reformation of juvenile Negro offenders we would reduce crime fifty percent in ten years. It's the truth and God has raised the Chief" for such a time as this. The Chief's report for the year ending December 31, 1909 shows a total of 3,637 arrests in Atlanta of Negro youth to 20 years of age and 5,677 between 20 and 30 years. The difficult period in any boy or girl's life is between the ages of 15 and 20 years. The neglect of Negro youth between the ages of 15 and 20 in the past is easily accountable for the greater and more shocking record of today of 7,666 arrests in one year (1909) between the ages of 20 and 40. The total arrests for one year from under 12 to 40 were 11,303. When one remembers that our Negro population is less than-that of B. Engle & Co. 59c Each our white people by 20,000 or 30,000, as the new census will doubtless show, yet the criminal record of our people is more than twice that of our white people, it is time for everybody to think, and think so vigorously that we will act.

If his environment is corrective and reformative, which carries with it the thought that the city, county, state and nation still believe there is hope for him and not one of punishment and hopelessness, everything is much better for such. The whole question reduced is this: 1st. Why spend so many thousands to save the heathen abroad and neglect the semi-heathen at home, when Africa in Africa is to be saved by first saving Africa in America? This is foreign missions. Not less for heathen abroad, but more for heathen at home, so that what you do send abroad will count, and you will have somebody to send with it. 2nd. Why, by any form of neglect, create the necessity of spending larger sums to protect ourselves from crime and from the menace of the heathen walking about our streets, touching our elbows, crumbling in the dark, awaiting to pounce upon you with weapons you never thought were upon his person, when the expenditure of the same money upon education, Christianization and training of him in the Formative-period would permanently be the safest protection? 3rd.

We are grateful for what has been done, but it isn't equal to the need, and no one knows it better than the Negro, as anybody does, who will stop to investigate. More kindness, more help, more interest, more equipment, more encouragement and more of God's practical and equitable hand of benevolence in the equation, more Christian and brotherly conference with the best of each race, in which "we may be as the hand," says Washington the Second, will land us high on the road to successful cooperation larger results in the solution of this problem." Dr. Penn, by reason of his wide experience in varied capacities, all of which have given him an insight into the real needs of the Negro people is fully competent to speak on a question of such widespread significance, with authority. As the Assistant General Secretary of the Epworth League in the Methodist Episcopal Church, to which position he has been regularly re-elected by the general conference since 1897, he has in charge all the Epworth League work in the twenty colored conferences in that church and is also subject to calls among white people. He has made the League a power among these conferences, there being an organization for every church. He is regarded as the organizer of the Negro race, having to his credit the Epworth League in his church, which he has built up until occupies the position of the best and most widely organized WAIST SPECIALS Christian society among the young people, yielding, by far the largest results. He organized the first Exposition movement as to the Negro and engineered it and brought it to a successful issue. He organized the National Medical Association while Commissioner of the Atlanta Exposition. While Commissioner of Negro Exhibits for the Atlanta Exposition in 1895, Dr. Penn did some real successful pioneer work, for he it remembered this was the first of all expositions where the progress of the Negro was shown in a separate exhibit.

GARLAND PENN Dr. Penn likewise conceived and organized the National Negro Young People's Christian and Educational Congress, it being the first time in history when all denominations among the Negro people were united in one great Christina movement in behalf of the youth of the race. This movement ante-dates, all Federal Councils among the white people. Dr. Penn is still connected with that movement. Dr. Penn is the originator of a great quadruple convention movement in the Methodist Episcopal Church, for Baltimore, Atlanta, New Orleans and St. Louis, by which the effort is to be made looking to more activity in Young Christian work, the endowment of the educational institutions for Negroes maintained by that Church, for better support of the ministry, and for self support for the Southwestern Christian Advocate. Dr. Penn is the corresponding secretary for that movement. Dr. Penn has a notable career as a churchman and Christian young peoples worker, and has for twenty years been a member of the general conference of his church. He has been a member of the Executive Committee of the International Sunday School Association for twelve years, and is now a member of the General Commission on Federation of the Negro Methodist Churches of America. In all his active career Dr. Penn has been a close student of Negro conditions. He has studied his people, has been with them in all sections of the country, and particular in his relations with the young people in the Epworth League, of which he the executive head. As can be seen by the strong sentiments uttered in his interview given to the Atlanta Constitution, he has taken the front in that great movement so far as the Negroes are concerned. Mr. Penn is quite as vigorous in expressing his views on the platform as he is with his pen, and has spoken in every state in the Union on various occasions, to colleges, conventions, conferences and other great meetings. He has been honored with degrees of Master of Arts from Rust University, Holly Springs, Miss., and with Doctor of Literature from Wiley University in 1906. He has spent 25 of his years in public life and has an interesting family. His wife was a Miss Anna Belle Rhodes from Lynchburg, Va., where they both lived, in 1889. Mrs. Penn is a classical graduate of Shaw University, and taught in the same institution several years after graduation. She has been a great helpment to her husband in his busy career. Their happy marriage life of 21 years has been blessed with seven children, all of whom live in Atlanta at their beautiful surburban home.
