AMERICAN BAPTIST. 70L. XXV, NO. 33 THE FACE THAT SMILES. Brother, you are sailing backward, toward the scenes of your mistakes; You are weeping o'er your errors till your proud heart almost breaks. You're repenting and regretting, you are sighing, O alas! And you're missing all the glories of the present as they pass. Leave the grim and grewsome picture — look the other way awhile. For the face that's toward the future is the face that wears the smile. You are lost in contemplation of the blunders you have made. You are sighing 'o'er the countless times your soul has been dismayed. But the future's sun is shining on the future's verdant trees. And the future's birds are singing—you are missing all of these. Cease that useless gazing backward, look the other way awhile. For the faces toward the future are the only ones that smile. When your back is toward the future then the buzzing lamp of hope Throws your shadow over your land- scape and with blinded eyes you grope For the blessings that had vanished with the times they strove to bless; Face about and you'll discover all your grouping's fruitlessness. You'll be dazzled by the glory of the prospect for awaits. But with face turned to theuture you will learn to wear a smile. -Baltimore American. WOMEN'S WORK. Loving Leitchfield on the morning of June 20th, we arrived at Elizabethtown, over the I. C. Ry., breakfasted with dear sister Quinn. Left over the L. & N. at 9.45 a.m. for Bowling Green to attend the Union District Sunday School Convention. We were entertained. sister Lugrange our devoted friend and co-worker, attended each session of the convention which was being held at State Street church Peace and harmony prevailed. We found Prof. Todd, of Franklin, President, to be up on Rules of Parliamentary practice, the address is made, sermons preached, and papers read were well received. On Saturday evening at 9 p. m. Mr. Wm. H Steward and your humble servant were introduced and presented the claims four work; a collection of $5.00 was raised and divided equally between us, the following contributing 25 cents each: Prof. A. M. Todd, kevs. S. Williams and Wm. Young, brother Wm. H. Steward Mrs. C. G. Fishback. We were entertained at dinner with others at the beautiful home of Rev. and Mrs. C. G. Fishback. We found and left the members of the State-stre t church much grieved over their faithful and beloved pastor the Rev. Fishback having offered his resignation, and who was then preparing to leave the following week, to enter his new field of labor, in the West; God grant that some other good and great man may be called to State Street, who will do as much to build up "Zion" as this faithful pastor has done; his place, however will be hard to fill. On Sunday morning at 6 o'clock we left for South Carrolton, a distance of 75 miles away. Upon reaching this point at 9:45 a.m., we are met by Miss Mary Brown, who accompanied us to Sunday-school. We were introduced to the school by pastor Hutch son, and made a short talk. A collection of 75 cents was given for the work. After the usual service at night we were introduced to the audience and addressed them. A collection of 75 cents was given the following giving 25 cents each: Rev. P. H. Hutchson and Bro. Harvey Grace. Total from church and Sunday-school $1.50. We were pleasantly entertained at the home of Rev. George Brown and family; so pleasant was our stay that we regretted that we had to leave. At 10:30 a.m., Monday, we were off for Livermore, we were met by dear sister Borah and little Eulah, and were soon comfortably housed in their pleasant home, where we have stopped each year. Rev. Watson, the pastor, paid us a call and bade us welcome. At 8 p. m. we visited First Baptist church, after devotional exercises we were introduced and talked at length upon the plans of our work and at the conclusion of which we reorganized a College Society with the following officers: Misses Linda Conditi and Eula Borah, presidents; Pamille Taylor and Mabel Fields, secretaries; Mella Dahl Humphrey, Treasurer; sisters Laura Watson, Georgia Watson and Willie Borah members of Board of Managers, the following ```markdown ``` named persons contributed 25 cents each Miss Verna Moorman, Mr. Isaac Willis, Bro. W. O. Fields; total amount contributed $3.11. We next visited Utica, stopped with sister Sallie Howard, who always welcomes us to her hospitality and at 8 p.m. we visited Bethlehem Baptist church of which Rev.W. H. Shelbourn is pastor. A large and appreciative audience of young people assembled to hear us. After we had laid the claims of our work before them we succeeded in reorganizing the College Society with following officers; Misses Hettie Hunter, Effie Bird, and Mrs. Lizzie Wickliff, presidents; Miss Saddle Tolbert and Bertha Ashby, secretary; Clemene Ashby, treasurer; Mrs. Hewis was elected chairman of the Board of Managers, the remaining two members to be elected at next regular meetup. The society of this church has for some years been one of the most active in this section of the state, but the church having been without a pastor for some time, the work in general has run down considerably; but since they have secured the services o. our good brother Shelbourn we shall as usual expect great things from cathlehem. Brother Ed. Henry gave 25 cents; total amount given $1.25. We left after service for the home of our dear friend Mrs. Anna J. Johnson, seven miles distance. Reaching her beautiful country home (through the courtesy of Mr. T. L. Schivingly an honored deacon of Pleasant Point church). After a refreshing nights rest, we were up on time next morning and delighted to look out over her spacious farm of 100 acres, containing fruit trees of many varieties, fields of corn tobacco wheat etc. We spent a most delightful day, drove up to the church at night, where we were delighted to meet our friend and wide a wake sister, Evie Tinsley. A large crowd assembled to hear us, Rev. S. P. Locke, the beloved pastor, could not be present but had announced and arranged for the meeting. We found the Church and College society spiritually and financially alive. Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. B. J. Newton, the chair rendered choice selections from Celestial Showers. We were then introduced in a pleasing manner by Mrs. Evie Tinsley, after our address a collection of $3.10 was given us for the work, the following contributing 25 cents each: Deacens T. L. Shivingly, L. R. Murry, brethren Henry Payne, J. W. Haynes, Misses Priscilla Richardson; sold one chast, we spent the night with Miss Richardson at the home of Mr. T. L. Shivingly and mother, where we peacefully entertained. This home-seed comprises of four farms containing between five and six hundred acres of land, well under cultivation, owned by two brothers, the elder a widower, the younger a teacher. We left early next morning through the kindness of Messrs. Shivingly's in company with Miss Richardson in a buggy, for Owensboro a distance of between fifteen and twenty miles. Driving through intense heat and dust we found ourselves safe in Owensboro, at 11:30 a.m. Spent the day at the pleasant home of brother and sister Richardson, on Harriet street. Misses Nannie Locke and Georgia Howard called in the afternoon to welcome us. At 7:30 p.m. we reached the home of Rev. J. WClarke and in company with him and dear sister Clarke we visited Centre Street church, of which he is pastor. A small crowd was in attendance, after devotional services Rev. Clarke introduced us, we made a short introduction and a collection of $1.10 was given us the following contributing 25 cents each; Rev. J. W. Clarke, Mrs. Mamie Clarke. We spent the night at the parsonage and enjoyed an early morning drive in and enjoyed an early morning drive in his wife and sister Clarke. Spent a pleasant day night at the most inviting home of Rev. and Mrs. Wm. Allen. At 7:30 p.m. Friday we visited Sweeney Street church, of which Rev. Allen is the progressive pastor. A pleasing audience greeted us, Rev. Allen impressively conducted devotional exercises, after which we laid the claim of our work before them. A College Society was organized with the following officers: sisters Fannie Allen, China Davis and Eliza Belli, presidents; Annie Collins and Helen Jackson, secretaries; Belle McHenry, treasurer; Mary Johnson, Mollie Jackson and Ocell Board Board of Managers. A collection of $1.50 was given, the following named persons gave 25 cents each; Rev. Wm. Allen, Mrs. Fannie Allen and Elder Pendleton. We left Rev Allen on Saturday at 11:45 to remain over Sunday with Rev. Dr. Smith's family and our sweet and much beloved friend and predecessor, Mrs. GA Howard. We were welcomed upon our arrival by dear sister Smith, coschine, Sadie and Dr. Smith and Rev. W. C. Alex, of Franklin. After enjoying a hearty dinner we spent Saturday afternoon at the "Exchange" where we found sisters Smith and Howard busily engaged trimming, making and sailing hats and other articles. They have a well furnished establishment and have an excellent trade. Spent the night with Miss Georgia, visited Fourth St. Sunday school at 9:30 a.m. was welcomed by Miss Nannie Locke, the proficient superintendent. Was delighted to see such a large attire dance, were introduced by pastor Smith and made a short talk and the school responded with a donation of one dollar. We attended 11 clock services, this was the beginning of the great Jubilee. The church was beautifully decorated with palms, stately oleanders in full bloom, potted plants, cut flowers, ferns and railing plants until the channel and after were almost hidden from sight, the whole atmosphere was filled with the fragrance and the entire auditorium was a valuable summer bonet. Rev. Allen was the speaker for this service, he preached a powerful sermon, after which the offerings were made. Dr. Smith then introduced us, and when we had finished our appeal was responded to by a collection from the congregation of $7.05 the following gave 25 cents each: Dr. S. E. Smith, Revs. Bean, W. C. Aden, J. M. Butler, beuren W. H. McFarland, W. F. Griffith, Buress Butchison, sisters Cowie, Autumn Powell, Mollie Watkins, Lizzie Davis, Susie Grundy, Annie Johnson Johanna Cabble. We also attended 3 o'clock praise service; many members and friends joined heartily in this service each having a word of commendation to say of Dr Smith for the great work done. We were forced to leave before dismission, to make our train for Powers Station, for night service. We left some shouting, many weeping others singing and all things being done to the honor and glory of God, because of the fact Fourth Street Baptist church stood from that hour free from debt. Yours in His Service. L. M JACKSON. HIS POSITION DEFINED On account of the statements which have been persistently if not maliciously made come rning my views upon the unwritten two years tenure of office for the Moderator of the General Association;I desire to vary from my accustomed rule and say: 1. That not a single line has ever appeared editorally in the columns of the AMERICAN BAPTIST favoring or approving such a rule. 2. That I have never expressed a word privately or publicly in favor of or endorsing the rule. 3. That I have never favored or opposed any candidate for Moderator on account of this unwritten law and have never advanced this as a reason why any broth named for that office should be elected or defeated. 4. To the contrary, I have always favored the good old Baptist custom of selecting men for position because of their competency and fitness and retain them as long as the cause is benefitted or its interests promoted by this service I hope tails will settle the question for all time as to my opinion on this subject and that the brethren will hold me responsible accordingly. Yours etc., Wm. H. STEWARD, Loulville, Ky., Aug. 5th 1808. EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT AT FH. NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION We wish to make our convention at Philadelphia one of the best in the history of our National meetings. We have arranged to have the photographs of all the leading ministers, educators and business men and women represented at this convention, so to that end, we ask each person to send us their photograph at once, enclosing $1 for framing your photograph. We also wish the photographs of churehes, schools, State Conventions, Sunday-school Conventions and Baptist Young People's Union Conventions. To make this movement a grand success each person having a drop of race or denominational pride will respond. Suggestions will also be gladly received. Let me hear from you. Address all communications to: BELLS Sandy Alky Church and School Bain, pp.100 for churches. The G. R. BELLS 10 - 411-800-68 AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM Pastor Broa way Baptist Chur h I desire to call attention first to my leave from Newport, which was one of the be trying ordals of my life and in the midst of four or five hund ed people there seemed to not have been a day eye in the church. Pleading and asking that we remain with them. The church officers and even the best white citizens of the city offered to raise my salary if I would remain with them. But feeling that the Holy Spirit appointed me to another field of labor I could not be persuaded to remain any longer. At the time I decided to leave Newport, where I had labored for nearly seven years the courch was in debt to me ninety dollars, and this amount was raised by a committee of sisters and brothers, and paid on the night I preached my fa ewell sermon. The largest amount raised by the committee was raised by sister Jannie Spencer, a good church and in a good financial condition. Any pastor, who might be called there will do well if he will take God for his counsel, the Holy Spirit for his guide, Jesus Christ for his leader and the people for his followers. May the Holy Spirit send them a leader that will lead them from conquest to victory. I came to Winchester June 8rd and started immediately u, on my work. We have averaged twenty-five dollars per week since we have been here and it was paid by the older members of the church and younger ones too. The church is better spiritually and financially than it has been since the days of Rev. Baker. I desire to say for the Broadway Baptist church, that it has but few equals and no superiors an if God will bless us in the future and it has in the past it will not be long before Broadway Baptist church will be to the churches in the state of Kentucky what the light house is to the seaman or the pilot is to the ship, for her hospitality is unbounded. It is the desire of the Broadway Baptist church to entertain the General Association in August 1904, not only is Broadway desirous of entertaining this August body; but the entire Baptist family of Winchester. Since the General Association has never convened in Winchester and their are 600 Baptist at First church; 150 at Washington Street 100 at Gentile; and 250 at Broadway; with Dr. Hoffman. Rev. Brock, Rev. Taylor and the writer of this letter, who are marshaling these forces under the banner of One Lord, One Faith and One Baptism, we will say to the Baptist family of Kentucky meet with us in the sitting of 1904 at the Broadway Baptist church. Now as to the next sitting of the General Association, at Danville, Ky., we hope to be there, if God will, and Broadway will be represented. If we are not in accord with the work of the Executive Board we mean to do our part for we do believe that the Executive Board was premature in its action taken relative to the New Convention organized, and we hope to be heard from upon the floor at the Association when that matter is brought up. The Moderator of the General Association in his paper has been writing and offering a reward for C.P.M. Bigbee, of Newport, who was lost, strayed or stolen, I desire to say that he may bring his reward aong for the pastor of the broadway Baptist church will bring the above named gentleman to Danville at the sitting of the General Association; and when we shall have elected the Moderator and the Secretary whom the people desire then the reward will be claimed. I will close by saying I hope that every messenger and member of the Association will vote to come to Winchester in 1904. Pray for our success. 41. P. M. BIGBRE FOR OVER SIXTY YEARS MRS.

Louisville, Ky., July 25, 1908. All arrangements have now been completed by W. G. Force, Commander Grand Army of the Republic, Department of Kentucky, for the most elaborate trip ever planned for the Kentucky Veterans and their friends to the 37th National Equampment, which will be held at San Francisco, Agust 17 24 1903. Through Pullman tourist sleepers will be operated from Louisville, over the lines selected as the official Route on evening train of August 9th leaving Union Depot at 8:35 p. m. via the popular Henderson Route to St. Louis, the Missouri Iacific R'y to Pueblo, the scenic Rio Grande Lines to Ogden and the Southern Pacific R,y to San Francisco and Los Angeles. Arrangements have been made permitting those that go with the Headquarters train, to spend one day in Denver one day in Colorado Springs, one day in Salt Lake City, and the schedule is so prepared as to permit a day light ride through the Rocky Mountains. When Denver is reached the "Seeing Denver" car will take the party through all of the principal streets and in sight of all points of interest in this wonderful city. After supper the summer gardens, parks and other places of high class amusements can be visited, and sleepers will be located convenient to the debot, where they can be occupied for the night. The day and evening, at Colorado Springs can be spent in sightseeing. The principal points of interest at this place, among which are Pikes Peak, Manitou, Grand Caverns, Garden of the Gods, Rainbow Falls, Cave of the Winds Ute Pase and the "Cog Roads," amply repay those taking the trip and are a revelation to those who have only read of these natural wonders. They must be seen to realize their wonderful beauty and magnitude. After leaving Colorado Springs the convenient schedule allows a daylight ride to Glenwood Springs though the "Heart of the Rookies." One feature of this daylight ride through the mountains, that awes the beholders, and one that will ever be remembered, is the Royal Gorge, that awful testimonial of nature's force, the walls of whih also perpendicularly for over half a mile from the river bed. The train will run very slowly through this gorge so that a good view of the entire eight miles may be secured, Salt Lake City, where a day will be spent, is one of the most remarkable places in all the world. Here the Mormons erected a tabernacle with a seating capacity of 9,000 persons, also the grand Temple costing 44,000,000. Fountain miles away is the Great Salt Lake, the Dead Sea of America. This great and mysterious inland sea has an area of 2,600 square miles and is 4,000 feet above the level of the sea. Thousands go there annually to bathe in its waters. The day spent in this place will be one long remembered and never regretted. The travel from Salt Lake City is through the states of Nevada and sunny California, San Francisco, being reached in the morning of August 18th. Of San Francisco, no ports are open. out in description, nor will our space allow of more than a more mention of a few of the delights of this wonderful and cosmopolitan city. It has hotels of every description and restaurants of world wide fame—French, Italianan, American and Oriental—with prices as various as their characteristics. The Cliff House is worth a visit, not only for the view of Real Rocks and conesional visits of a vagrant whales, but for the excellent bess as well, though for bathing and luxurious Sutro Baths are perhaps more attractive. Among numerous other attractions may be noted Chinatown, the Army Post at the Presidio, the United States Mint, the Hopkins Museum of Art, while near here are numerous and delightful resorts, including the seaside city of Santa Cruz, the fruit orchard of San Jose, the garden city of the West, Mt. Hamilton, where is located the wonderful Lick Observatory, and Mt. Hammlpals, from which may be seen, spread at one's very feet' the panorama of the Golden Gate. There will undoubtedly be a great many people outside of the G. A. R. who will be glad to avail themselves of this through touring car service and the very cheap railroad and sleeping car rates announced. New Era Institute I will conduct a New Bra Institute at Sharpburg August 20, 27 and 28 Ministers pastors and Christian workers in this violinies are cordially requested to be present and help make the meeting a success.

This paper is regularly mailed to its subscribers until a definite order to discontinue is received and the subscription paid in full to the time the order is given. NEXT Wednesday the General Association will assemble in the First Baptist Church, Danville Ky. and from present indications it will be a large and enthusiastic meeting in the interest of Missionary and Educational work. There is an increased interest in these enterprises and this mons much not only in the way of permanent support but in efficiency as well. In some sessions of the General Association tee Board of Trustees has stood the blunt of the censure and unforable criticism but this year it is different and Executive Board comes in for its share of criticism for what it calls advanced steps in mission work which has aroused much unfavorable comment and many brethred expect a very warm and animated meeting on this discussion, but in our judgment the discussion will be characterized by fairness and earnestness and will be bared entirely upon the acts of the Board and free from personalities. The Board has certainly ignored all precedents as well as the sentiment of the Baptist of the State in much of work this year and its members should not take offense at the Boards actions being discussed, and approve or disapprove as the Association sees fit. There is no use being overly sensitive about this matter since those who have led in these new movements have been free in season and out of season to criticise and censure others when things have been done which they did not approve. A friendly discussion of the report of the Executive Board will no doubt settle the question permanently as to its power along other lines, which will certainly arise in the near future unless it is settled now. This can and ought to be done in a friendly and brotherly way and the member of the General Association who can't do that, ought to make up his mind in advance to keep out of the discussion and allow those with grace in their hearts and who love and respect their brethren attend to it. The spirit in which a thing is said has much to do with the effect it has upon those most concerned. The comments of our exchanges upon the recent session of the Afro-American Council in this city have been read with more than usual interest and it is a striking coincident that most of the unfavorable comments have come from those who do not attend the meetings and have very little personal knowledge of the Council or its plans and work. The press reports were not authentic in many respects and not only exaggerated the little exciting incidents but misrepresented the sentiments and actions of the session and it is upon these report that most of the criticisms were based. The members of the Council came as near representing the intelligent conservative and earnest leaders of the race as could be gotten together and are far more unselfish and conscientious than some of their critics. The Council is willing to accept the service and aid of every AMERICAN BAPTIST, FRIDAY AUGUST 7 1903 race leader and since their presence would be welcomed, they should identify themselves with it and help to perfect the organization and make it the agency for good which all admit it could be made. This plah would be decideely better than organizing another body or finding fault with those who are trying faithfully to adopt measures that will be for the best interest of the race. The rate to the General Association at Danville will be one and one-third fare plus 25 cents, for the round trip upon the certificate plan. An effort was made to secure one fare for the round trip, but it did not succeed because an attendance large enough could not be assured under the rule. There is a change in the rule this year which will operate against securing reduced rates to these meeting in the future and that is a messengers must pay at least 75 cents in coming before the certificate is available and then the return fare is one-third the regular fare plus 25 cents. This will make it necessary for ministers to obtain certificates instead of using clergy permits if they wish to insure the rates in the future even to the General Association. Last year at Palucah while there were over three hundred in attendance only one hundred and forty seven held certificates and this is the number that the railroads give credit for. Now if one half fare is to be secured in the future, the number of certificates must be increased and they cannot be increased unless ministers will use them instead of using their permits when attending the General Association. THE programme for the National Business League in Nashville Aug 19-21 has been issued and indications point to a large and successful meeting. Certainly the programme represents every phase of business life among our people and the character of the leaders show plainly that good results must follow such a gathering. Reduced rates to the meeting may be secured by obtaining a certificate when ticket is purchased and every agent is authorized to issue these certificates upon application. Among the interesting features of the General Association in Danville next week will be the presence of Revs F. Solrni, Port Shepstone, Natal, Peter Mngibisa, Qumba, East Griqblau, South Africa and C. P. Rier, Paramaribo, South Amereca. These bretheren are under appointment of our Foreign Mission Board and come to this country to bring fresh news from the Field and to tnspire and cheer toose who have taught them the way of the Lord through our Missionary. THE Cardinals Conclave in Rome last Monday, in secret session, elected Cardinal Sarto, the Patriarch of Venice, as Pope of the Catholic Church and successor to Leo XIII. The announcement was received with great delight by the crowd which had anxiously awaited the result in that city. His selection seems to be especially acceptable to American Catholics, as it is unders ood that Cardinal Gibbons was largely instrumental in securing Sarto's elevation. The new Pope is thought to be in accord with the policy and views of his predecessor, and he has selected Pius X as his official name. ON TO DANVILLE To the Presidents and members of the B. Y P. U's of Kentucky, Greeting: Many thanks to you for the noble work you did last year. Our President Rev C. G. Fishback has left the state and I trust that the contributions sent to Danville this year will surpass all others as we hope to pay our faithful organizer Rev G. W. Hampton all we owe him. The Lord bless you all. Chas. D. Douglass, Vice Pres. Madam Selika is conducting a musical studio in Philadelphia. Rev, L. H Dodd has accepted call to the Baptist church at Yosemite, Ky. His address will still be Danville, Ky. The West Virginia Baptist Convention will meet in Annual session at Hinton Aug. 19.21. An interesting meeting is expected. --- Delegates attending the Masonic Grand Lodge at Paris, Ky. August 18th, in order to secure reduced rates must procure a certificate from the railroad agent when ticket is purchased. Through ticket to Paris should be purchased as it is the cheapest. Museum of Contemporary Art The Forest Baptist church will hold its annual Basket Meeting at Newburg next Sunday to which they invite their friends. Those attending may take the East Broadway cars and get off at the city limits where conveyances will meet them and take them to the grounds. The veteran race leader Geo. T. Downing died at his home in Newport R. I. Tuesday July 21st, after a protracted illness, aged 74 years Mr. Downing is perhaps the last of the strong and prominent characters of the race who were leaders in the anti-slavery movement before the Civil War. Messengers who expect to attend the General Association at Danville next week and who have not already done so, should inform Rev. J. E. Wood, Danville, Ky. at once so that arrangements may be made for their entertainment. This is very important and should not be neglected. Robert Lee the Negro who killed the policeman in Evansville, Ind. which caused the terrible riot in that city a few weeks ago resulting in the death of a number of people, died in the Indiana Reformitory Jeffersonville, Ind. last Friday from wounds inflicted by the policeman. Lee was taken to Jeffersonville for safe keeping awaiting trial. Judge Robert B. Richardson of Monrovia Liberia, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Liberia and President of Liberia College is in this country studying our educational methods He was handsomely eutertained in Washington City last week by Mr. H. P. Slaughter who is the Liberian Vice Counsel, The Baptists of Louisville will leave in a special car over the Southern Railway for the General Association at Danville Tuesday morning Aug. 11, at 7:40 o'clock. Messengers and friends who desire to make the trip are invited to join the party. Purchase through ticket to Danville and secure a certificate when ticket is purchased so as to get benefit of the reduced rate. Finally, be it said that downright industry is the leader's secret of power Ambitious men, when filled with conceit, think that they can figure and flutter over a measure in advance and then carry it by a brilliant charge at last. Victories do not come this way. It is the man who works the hardest beforehand, strengthens his defenses at every point, guards against every surprise and looks after every detail whom men will follow to victory or death. —W. E. H. in Baptist Argus. Here is a conundrum: In Atlanta, the new Carnegie building, supported by public taxation, is rigidly closed against the Negro, while as Prof. Du Bois, of Atlanta Universi ty, says: "In all things that degrade and drag down there is no color line. Facilities for drinking and gambling are as wide open for black boys as for white; and while the city has not seats enough in her school houses for half her black children, she has ample provision for them in her jails." The conundrum is, why does Atlanta close the door of elevation and open only that of degradation?—Central Christian Advocate. The National Grand Lodge of the United Brothers of Friendship in St. Louis elected the following officers: W. A Gaines, Covington, Ky. National Grand Master; P. F. Hill, Memphis, Tenn. National Deputy Grand Master; Walter M. Farmer, St. Louss, Mo., National Grand Secretary; L. H. Harrison, Birmingham, Ala., Assistant National Grand Secretary; W. F.

Present From Maysliek Baptist Church and Friends. In regards to my 29th birthday July 13, about the hour of 9 p. m., I was perusing the Scriptures for wisdom and knowledge of God's truths, when I heard the sound of the feet of persons coming singing, "He will never leave thee or forsake thee," headed under the leadership of sister Henrietta Hawkins. On hearing these voices of friends imitating the angels above we were filled with much enthusiasm and gratitude. The door was opened to welcome in the persons of sisters Henrietta Hawkins, Mae Hawkins, Bell Johnson, Zattie Hicks, Fanny Coleman, Amy Coleman, Nancy Lofton, Bertie Settles, Gertrude Thomas, Omer Thomas, Frankie Chord. All presented us with presents as a token of their love and appreciation of their pastor. These are are only a few of the good people in Mayslick. We are loved by saint and sinners, and we love them all. After reading the 23d Ps. and prayer we extended our earnest thanks, also holding a few moment's conversation. Each departed for their respective homes, leaving us to feel that God will withhold no good thing from those that walk upright before Him. Yours for Christ, J. W. THOMAS Mayslick, Ky. CITY ITEMS.

GIVE US A TRIAL. --- THE WORK IN BULLITT COUNTY This is one of the small counties in this state and the Baptists are not as strong as they ought to be but they have taken courage lately and are going forward. Sunday July 26th the Corinthian Baptist held a rally from which about $75 was realized. The people really entered heartily into the service and were much revived. We are now arranging to commence work on our new church edifice and hope to be in it before winter sets in. A new building is greatly needed in this community and we hope our strong churches will give us their moral and financial help. J. Riley. We are building character every day, and etone upon stone, to erect a magnificent superstructure. It is all-important that the material should be first class to insure a substantial building. The daily conduct are the stones of the building and so should be of highest moral quality. To neglect these little things in formulating character is to imperil a useful future. Any defects in the construction of character will eventually be exposed. Hear! Hear!—Christian Index. LEXINATON MINISTERS' AND DEACONS MEETING.

Painodase Morto Taxt.—God is our refuge and strength, a very present hel; in trouble.""—Ps, 46:1. “And David went ont whether socver Saul sent him "—This refers it seems from the latter clause in the verse, to military expeditions against the Philigtines and other en emies of Israe!. Saul placed him in command in the army, made him as we would say a general, ‘And behaved Himself wisely." —The He- brew wort translated means much It indicates that he showed powers of generalship such as gave him victory in his battles, and that he also behaved discretely and modest- ly This discreteness was very, necessary in a yung man without military experience except in batjle which followed his killing of Goli- ath, who was thas advanced by the king to command older cflicers. He was accepted in the sight af all the people, and in the sight of Saul's, servants.’—That is the court officials who surrounded the king. That David shoulg have pleased the people was nut 4trange, on account 4 his killing Goliath and his success against their ene- mies. Bufit speaks volumes for bis tact and his discretion that the courtiers were pleased with him, For his rapid promotion and_ his popularity with the people would have inclined them to jealousy. “And it came to pass as they came. —Returning from victory over the Philistines, It was evidently a not- able one as there was such general Fejoicing in ail the cities. ~ It tthe custom ot women in the East thus’ to welcome warriors whv return victorious. ‘Singing and dancing,” —Accompanying their songs with dancing. There was no resem- blance between this dancing and the modern waltz which is the parent of so much evi] For the women danced alone and individually. The waltz would do no harm if men and women danced separately, and each person alone. The dance was a rhymthic keeping time to singing. Tabrets were tombourines. The other instruments of music were cymbals. ‘And the women answerd one an- other as they played.” —That is two groups of women sang alternately This is customary in Oriental coun- tries. One group sang, ‘Saul has slain. his thousands, and the other replied ‘‘And David his ten thou- sands," Such exalting of his young ofhcer above himself would have been distasteful to any king, Im- agine President Roogevelt met du-| ing his trip by multitudes in “every city singing ‘‘Roosevelt is’ fine, but Root is worth ten of him.” And remember Saul was king and an absolute kings for as bis people were concerned, and cot oa a president for a biel (ime, and you will see that Saul’s anger was natu- ral in an unregenerated man. “And what can he have more but thekingdom?’ Samuel had told Saul that God would take the king-| don from him because of his diso- bedience, and give it to his neigh- bor whowasbetter than he. Sam- uel had not mentioned the name of the neighbor, and naturally Saul was watching eagerly to see it any indication pointed to the man whom God had chosen His question shows that his suspicion was turn- ed upon David. How much Israel had degenera- pect ences ip the difference 4 this soxg of, the women and that of Miriam." Gad is for. “gotten here; the victory is not as Fay Ce ee ee AMERICAN BAPTIST, FRIDAY AUGUST 7 1908- opportunity, Let us beware of leaving God out of our joy and our triumph. ~ “And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.” —Watched him with hatred and jealousy. Saul looked to see if there was any in- dication that David was the chosen man, or if he could see anything in David's conduct to make it proba- ble that Samuel had told him that he was to be king. The women wished to honor David; they brought great trouble ‘and danger upon bim by their praise If they had given God the glory how much better it would hav been! “And it came to pass on the morrow.”’—The day alter the victo- rious'return of the army when the women had sung the song. * 7%ke evil spirit frem God came upon >aul."~There were times when Saul was possessed with a devil It does not seem in the New Testa- meut that such possession was al- ways a ditect punishment for sin, bat in Saul’s case it was **And he prophesied in the midst of the house.” —The Hebrew word trans lated prophesied also means raved, Although Saul was conscious, the evil spirit spoke through hin. He and David were alone in the room. On former occasions when Saul had been so possessed, Davids music hed exercised the devil, and jloe veurg man tries it again, Saul was shiewd; atly thing done to Da- vid m= these circtmstances would have been attributed to his madness and he conid have grieved over the death of his brave soldier and made the people believe he was horror stricken at the deed he had done, “And Saul cast the javelin; for he said 1 will smite David even to the wall with it "—But God guard- ed David and a quick movement saved him. David was brave and no doubt attributed the first effort to the evil spirit and went on play- ing, hoping to free the king from it. But Saul tried to murder him the second time. It. was evident to Saul that God had guarded "David, from his javelin, and this made him afraid. His fear ought to have pre- vented after attempts on David's life, but it did not. Saul ought to have known, asall sinners ought to know, that no fighting against God will progper. ‘Therefore Saul re- moved him from him.—He hated! the sight of David, and felt relieved when he was away from his court | But he was shrewd enough to =| complish the removal without mak-. ing any public exhibition of his jealousy and anger. He advanced- David to the command of a thous and ‘men. Whether this was a| higher positiop than David occupi- ed during the war, there is no way of knowing, ‘And he went out and) came in before the people.’ —In his military “operations. These were such as to keep the interest of the people centered in the young officer. David's head was not turned; he continued to act wisely, and it wag. evident that God was with him. This fact increased Saui’s fear, the word “afraid” in this verse 1s a stronger one than that in verse 12. Ah, if Saul had only obeyed his God he would not have been afraid before the face of any man, Con- science doeth make cowards of us all. “But all Israel and Judah toed David because he went out and came in before them,” —Had he remained in Saul’s touschold ‘the people would have seer liitie of him. ‘Saul over-reached himself as bad men so PREPARATIONS FOR NATIONAL CONvERTION.
