AMERICAN BAPTIST. WHAT'S THE USE? What's the use of grooming Because the clouds are black All your silly moaning Never push them back. Troubles may be coming, Coming in a heap; Just you keep a bumming. Hum yourself to sleep. What's the use of grooming When the ground is wet? Thunder may be rumbling, Don't you ever feel. Storms will soon be over, Flowers blooming fine; Crops will be in clover When the sun does shine. What's the use of shouting, Getting sore o' man? Tainges that set you pouting May make others mad. Wou don't it be lonely, Tell me square and true, If the world was only Made for me and you. THE NEW LIBERTY SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

The Green Castle Baptist church closed its 88th anniversary exercises some weeks ago. We had preaching five nights by the following named brethren: Revs. H. Bowen, which was enjoyed by all present. We bid him God's speed in his new field of labor. Rev. E. T. Offutt preached a powerful sermon, a great many of his members were present and said that he preached better for us than he did at home. He has been called to Jeffronville, if he accepts, we pray he may get along nicely, though his church does not want him to leave for he is a gospel preacher and we wish him well wherever he may go. Rev. Wm. Reed came he did not see whom he expected to see, so this made him a little down hearted, but when he got to church he lost sight of that. His subject was, "Unload and Run" he preached a good sermon. Rev. W. L. Brent, who was expected to be present, could not get there on account of the illness of his wife. Rev. J. H. Perdue, D. D., preached a powerful sermon and left the church much revived. We hope he will come again. On Sunday morning at 11 o'clock Rev. J. Lewis, the silver-tongued gospel preacher preached to a full house. You all know his manner of preaching. At 3 o'clock Revs. E. W. Reed, C. H. Jacobs, E. B. Milton, J. Jacobs and others conducted the meeting. Rev. Reed preached and was followed alternately by some of the older members who told of the past labor they had in the organization of the church, to whom we give God the praise. The seed sowed by these brothren we shall gather many days hence. We collected during our meeting $53.36 we certainly thank the brethren for the noble service they rendered us. We hope these brothren will visit us again. WOMEN'S WORK. TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BAPSTIST WOMEN'S EDUCATIONVL CONVENTION: Dear Sisters: I have been silent for sometime but thought I would write you to inform you that but little over two months remain before our meeting in Franklin. As chairman of the Board of Managers I write to urge you to bestir yourself during these months, so as to make this meeting one of the grandest and most successful meetings in the history of our convention. I am quite anxious that our women get together as never bore, for in "union there is strength." We want to make this our banner year. Can we not add $1,000 this year to the amount now in back for our girl's dormitory? Our board is working very hard to keep the work alive in Louisville. We have begun our campaign among the city churches and hope to be able to visit every church in the city, in the interest of our work, within the next two months. The pastors are receiving us kindly and we hope to accomplish much good in this way. Our Missionary is out on the field and sends in very encouraging letters. Please do not wait for the Convention. We call upon every Baptist woman and every University Society to lend heart and hand in helping us to foster our educational work. We call upon you to come or send a representative to our meeting in Franklin. If you have no society will you not send at least ONE DOLLAR for annual membership fee, and thus aid in the great work. Can we not have 100 women, who will make tae sacrifice and go with us to Franklin? At our last meeting in Danville, about $1,009.00 was ledged for our work and we hope that all those who pledged will see to it that the money pledged is either brought or sent to the Convention Any one desiring "cards" or "coin-milers" with which to raise your money, may write the Corresponding Secretary, Miss Lucy Flint, 1419 W. Madison St. Do let the Board hear from you, so that we may have some idea of how you are getting along with your work, and what we may expect of you in Oct. at our meeting Franklin. A line or two from any sister or brother will do much to encourage us. Pray for the blessings of the Almighty upon our work. Let peace and love continue, is the wish of your humble servant and co-worker. Chairman of Board of Managers. Louisville, Ky. EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT AT THE 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 churches, 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 denomustional pride will respond. Suggestions will also be gladly received. Let me hear from you.

Reed, at the Twenty-eighth Anniversary of Rev. E. P. J. Marre, D. D., of Beargrass Baptist Church, Louisville, Ky. I can not call to memory a single period in my life when I received an invitation to an entertainment or gathering that I estermed with any higher degree of reverence, respect and regards than the one extended to me by your honorable committee urging upon me to be present upon this occasion. A meeting that should mean and bespeak a great deal to the membars and friends of the Beargrass Baptist church; and it should be appreciated by all the Baptist and good citizens of Louisville. When I read your welcome invitation and program, and saw that my name appeared the one to address you I was very much perplexed in mind as to what I should speak about on this occasion, because I absolutely felt that an event like this demanded men or stronger mind and blessed with a more ready gift. Thus I felt my unworthiness of the place you allowed me on your program. But while mentoring over the affair and knowing Dr. Marrs as I have, and we having been so closely related in the work of the ministry and find him always ready and willing to give words of cheer and good advice to all young ministers, and having a faint idea what it means in this day to pastor a church 23 years, this subject very forcibly impressed itself upon my mind, "Editing and Entertaining." From this subject these division suggest themselves to my mind. I. Dr. Murray is Edifying and Entertaining as a citizen and a neighbor. II. He is Edifying and Entertaining as a pastor, preacher, teacher and historian and worker. Now then if we would accept the most common plain and practical idea of the subject, we would understand it to mean development and improvement or an entertaining one is to another morally, socially and religiously. And it is admitted fact that when such things can be said of, and are true of any person or persons, there should be no question in the as to their being of advantage to the world as a citizen and neighbor and I most invariably believe and feel that I voice the sentiment of all the houses, upright and intelligent members of this church and neighborhood when I tell you such can be said of, and is true of your praiseworthy and honored pastor who has been your leader for 23 long and prosperous years. You can at once see that Dr. Marrs is edifying and entertaining as a citizen and neighbor during his stay among you. If we would further and more accurately see this fact as brought out here we are only to investigate his career and work in the community 23 years ago and that of the present and draw contrast. We will find a considerable difference in affairs. If we would allow our minds to take a retrospective view of the situation in this community among you people 23 years ago we would not find it as bright and prosperous as it is to day. Dr Marrs had just begun creating and molding sentiment in the hearts and minds of the young people for their future usefulness and development. It can be said of Dr. Marrs what cannot be said of but few Baptist ministers and that he is a historian. And for us to fully know this fact we are only to read the two books and the tracts he has written another book, and for us to know him as a teacher we are only to search the records and we find him spending 24 years in the school room and certainly it would take a considerable volume to give the experience one would gain as teacher in such a long time. If we want a clearer and more definite proof as to the honor a man like Dr. Marrs is to you and the race we only ask you to investigate this brief sketch the history of his career. When the great cry went through this country in the sixty's for men to go to battle I see Dr. Marrs shouldering his nap-sack and gun and marching to the front like a man in the defense of his country. In this war he was honored because he held a poition as Quarer-Master-Sergeant He served out his time received an honorable discharge and is now classed among the leaders of the G. A R's which to my mind is one of the most honrable organizations now in existence, And after coming out of this cruel war of the sixties we find him for twenty-four long years at war in the school battling against ignorance and superstition at the following places: Simpsonville, La Grange, New Castle, Shelbyville, and for six years at this place. And if we would point to any man with pride and honor as being the first Manager of State University, it would be Dr. Marrs, pastor of Beargrass Baptist church. But I am sorry to say prejudice wont allow some to confer this honor upon him, but the good book says, Render honor to whom honor is due and I think it is due him and let us give it to him while he lives." Let us look further for the worth and value of such a man. He has written two books, The Biographical sketch of his own Life, and Back to my old home where I was converted fifty years ago, aed now writing a history of the Central District Association And for seventeen years when the General Association wants some one to hold its money, the voice of the Baptists Dr. Marra, pastor of the Beargrass Baptist church, which position he now holds. He is treasurer of the Ministers and Deacons Conference; treasurer of the Republican League of Kentucky; treasurer of the Afro-American League of this city; trustee of State University and a loud agent for a millionaire of N.V., and holds a prominent position in: the G.A. R. Last but not least he has been pastor of the Beargrass Baptist church for twenty-three years. Dear members and friends, I censure by saying that we are not only to think of Dr. Marrs as standing right in front of our denomination for about half a century, fight the good fight of faith and then think of the great work God has wrought through him in this long time for the Masters cause we must conclude that God could not have used him had he not of been a man that could both edify and entertain. Hence double honor should be thrown around him in his declining days. And as he nears yonder world and its beautiful sun bright clime he should be made to look back over a well spent life and feel that somebody has a bright appreciation of the great work God has wrought through him during his stay on earth. And when we can gaze on his face and behold the wrinkles therein, and take a look at his hoary hair which tells us that he has stood the frost of many winters, and then behold his stature which speaks louder than thunder and tells us that he has stood the burden in the heat of the day and yet standing as a stone wall in the defense of his denomination and race. I repeat again that as a servant he is worthy of double honor being conferred upon him, and I am one of those who have met the Beargrass Baptist Church to-day to join with them in prayer and true devotion to God that he might live long and accomplish much good for the Master and his race.

I get many letters from my old home about preserving eggs, that I will answer them through your paper. I started in 1888 with $86, bought eggs at 8 to 10 cents in summer, preserved them and sold in winter at from 25 to 30 cents a dozen. I preserved eggs 12 years and made $89,000. My niece started in 1894, with 10, which she re-invested each year, with the profits, and now she has $18,$46, all made from $10 00, reinvested for eight years. You can buy egg very cheap now and sell them from 25 to 30 cents; figure the profits yourself. To preserve them costs a cent a dozen. I cant answer letters as I travel, but any person can get desired information by addressing the PEOPLE'S SUPPLIER CO., No 3 Moore Block, New Concord, Ohio! they started me.

THE General Association of Colored Baptists of Kentucky is in session this week in Danville and it is such a gathering as brings credit and honor to our denomination. The personel of the messengers indicate a growth in intelligence and culture and shows that ministerial ethics is being thoughtfully injected not only into the manner and character of preaching at the Association but also into the transaction of business as well. This in itself is a most favorable sign but still there is not that fervency of spirit and fraternal feeling that characterized the long ago. Instead of that broad, liberal and unselfish devotion and consecration to the work and the interests of the denomination which was so much in evidence then, there seems now to be growing a selfish and unholy ambition among the brethren which will dampen ardor, decrease interest and destroy spirituality unless it is checked. The trouble may be with us, it may be with others or it may be with all, but that matters little so it is removed and without discussing the question of responsibility every one should lend his influence to the good work of restoring that spirit in the Association that will bring the very best results to our work. There never will probably be a time when every individual will approve everything that is done but by proper effort this friction can be reduced to the minimum and so smooth and gentle will be the movement of things that it will seem that the brethren are of one mind and in sweet accord. --- This week a Conference is being held in Chautauqua to discuss the question of feud assassinations lynching and labor riots and the methods of preventing or destroying them. These are themes which should require the best thought and offer the most fertile field for investigation that the humanitarian could enter and from which the very best results should be secured. It is a lamentable fact that conditions seem to be growing worse every day and any suggestion from intelligent and unbiased men that will improve them should be hailed with delight and promptly tried Race teeling has had much to do with bringing about these condition but it is not the only cause by far, because in the mountains of this state where assassination and murder is so prevalent there are a very few Negros and they are not among the feudists nor among the victims. The truth of the whole matter is, there is a growing disregard of law and the vicious instead of the intelligent and law abiding men are in the ascendency and indifference has given encouragement to the lawless element. Should this conference arouse the good sense of duty all of these matters will be adjusted in a proper way and law and order be supreme. THE California Independent of last week has a pretty severe and caustic article upon the colleges managed in the South by our own AMERICAN BAPTIST, FRIDAY AUGUST 14 1908 people and takes the liberty of naming some of them which the editor claims is doing more harm than good Distance lends enchantment in some cases and it is the long distance between California and these schools, that makes the editor of the Independent such an excellent judge of the work being done by them. All know that in equipment, curriculum and instructors that these schools cannot compete with the old colleges of the East and North but that they have done and are doing a great work for the race none will dispute who are conversant with them and they are growing every day. Some of the most proficient, earnest and talented men of the race have come from these schools and these schools should be measured from this standard rather than from the few who have failed. Every student who comes from Harvard or Yale are not distinguished as scholars, preachers, teachers or lawyers and this could not be expected of other schools. THE fact that the delegates to the National Baptist Convention from the South can secure one fare for the round trip while the delegates from this section will pay a fare and a third will perhaps influence their votes in selecting the place for the meeting hereafter. Really there seems to be no good reason why delegates should be charged a fare and a third while nearly all the delegates are ministers and can make the trip much cheaper by using clergy permits. The Passenger Associations are peculiar institutions and it requires a great deal of tact and diplomacy to understand their methods. Two new papers reached our sanctum this week and from a request received from a friend in the state there are more to follow. "The Baptist Sword" Henderson Ky, and "The Early Bird" Russellville Ky. are the two recent additions to race journalism in the state and they are both bright and newsy. The field now seems to be fully covered but there is a fascination about journalism that draws soms and even with the trying experiences of those who have gone before others are anxious and willing to follow. We extend the hand of fellowship to our new contemporaries. NOTICE. --- By the resignation of our beloved pastor the Rev. C. G. Fishback, A. M. B. D. July 1st. 1903 our pulpit is now vacant.

Yates of Illinois has called upon the sheriffs of Vermillion, St. Clair and Anderson counties of that state for a report as to the recent lynchings in their communities and requesting suggestions as to what methods to adopt to prevent lynching in the future and what steps have been taken to detect and punish members of the mobs. These reports are not to be printed. In calling attention to some of the short comings of the colored people it does not mean that mob rule eas any excuse for existence. We contend as ever that the courts are clothed with sufficient authority to cope with any evil. We hope to canton our people in plain, severe language against their little civil sins that they give no seeming excuse for the mob. If they are jealously careful and the mob yet rules the blood will plainly be on the heads of those taking part in it, and finally it will be crushed by the weight of it own murderous sins. — The Freeman. The call for educated Negro men who have made a special study of theoretical and practical Agriculture is more pressing than the supply. The demand for such men comes from all parts of the United States and from several foreign countries. The Agricultural Department of the Tuskegee Institute is now prepared to give instruction of a high grade to persons who have finished either common school or college courses. We hope that a large number of such persons will enter this department at Tuskegee this fall. For in formation as to expenses, etc., apply to President Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Alabama.

DAVID AND JONATHAN, ] Sam. 20: 12-23 Motto Text—‘‘There is a friend that sticketh closer than a biother -~-Prov. 18:24. his fame’ was eclipsed by Daivd s. He was heir to tbe throne and knew that David wis to supplant’ him. Yet so noble was his character and so perfect his faith in the wisdom of God, who ha} chosen David and rejected hiin, that he was not only resigned to God’s will, but loved his riyal Who would be successful with all his heart. A most selfish father had in Jonathan the most unselfish of sons. Saul had tried to kill Ravid more than once. But it was possible that this was done when the evil spirit had possession of him, and that in his righ} mind, Saul meant only good to David. Jonathan un dertook tosound his father when he was at himsell, He took the opportunity which the feast would give him of bringing in the subject naturally. Saul would be more apt to speak his real thoughts if the subject of David came up casu- ally than it he had reason to sus. pect Jonathan was sounding him. The festival of the new moon would be followed by a royal banquet and ‘on one of these days an opportuni- ty would occur to learn what the king's real designs were. jonathan was a loyal son and would not have taken sides with an enemy against his father. Even it he had had no lové for David, love for Saul would have prompted the course he took.- For if his father was tetormincd upomemerder, Jon athan could do him no greater kind- ness thau to keep him from the crim: by sending David away. “The Lord be with thee as he has been with my faiker.”-God had raised Saul from an humble station to the throne, andh d given him the promise of many blessings if he would be obedient. This 13 really a prayer from Jonathan that David should have the throne. Was such unselfishness ever know among men **And thou shalt not only while I) live show me the kindness of the! Lord that I ate not."—The kind- ness which God showed David, he was to show Jonathan. Jonathan invoked the Golden Rule. was very customary in those days when one dynasyt succeeded another on the throne for the new king to kill the heir of the previous family For there were sure to be enemies of the new king, and these would plot and revolt, and endeavor to re- store the old dynasty. Kings who were not otherwise cruel would kill ‘the families p{ the former ruler feel- ing th:t was the only way iu which to insure their own safety, and to keep their people from being in- volved in bloody wars. f It jis probable that Jonathan meant to express his faith in Da- vid's love in the strongest terms He no more feared that David's Kindness towards him personally would fail than that God's would And that love made him entirely Secure from danger when David as- cended'the throne. ‘'But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house forever:” It might be that a Was dead, David mibgt not feel toward his children as he did toward him. The ‘forever’ bsbpinet at the follovding verse, that David Lest ds pisdee'aos only “ipwan coal dynasty.

He looks forward to the time When David shall be all power- ful because God has cut off all his' enemies. These two men were brave and victorious warriors, yet thay see God’s hand in everything. Such a recognition of God's sove- tignty is sorely needed in these days. : . | “So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David.”—For in L& covenant David bound his suc- cessorsas wellas himself. If they were men like David, the oath of the founder of their dynasty would be held sacred by them. ‘*Let the Lord even require it at the hands of David's enemies,"—f David broke this covenant God would use his enemiés as an instrument with which to,punish bins “And Jonathan causea David to swear again, because he loved him —It was not that he had any doubt of David's keeping the covenant inviolated, but becausé his love was su great he delighted to hear Da- vid's voiee and especially that voice when it was uttering words which shcwed his love for Jonathan. Well might David say in his lam entation over the death cf his friend, *“TbyNove for me was won- derfnl, passing the love of women.” ** Tomorow is the new moon; and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be impty.”--At the feast of the new moun, David, being the king's son in law, would have a pypminent Seat assigned to him, aa his absence would be noticed “And when thou hast stayed three days.’"—At Bethlehem — There .is no reason to excuse David and Jon ‘athan~of falshood, as some com- mentators do. Jonathan was to tell Saul that David asked his per- mission to go to Bethlehem, where his father’s family lived, and there is no reason to think fu view of the shoit distance, that David did aot go. ; “Then thou shalt go down mck fy —In order not to be seen. * and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the buciness was in hand.’-Relering to David's hiding told in the proceeding chap- ter. The business to which Jona- than refers was his pleading ~ his father for David, and the suc- cess which he had with Saul, for a time atleast. The stone Ezel was evidently some well known land- mark, and nedr it the cave where David hid. It might be safe for David to show himself, or fur Jonath-n to go wherehe was. As it happened when the time came there was no ue near to be dreaded and Jona- tuat went to David. If others had been present, the plan of convey- ing the information was well devis- ed, for no one but David could nn neland it. “And as touching the matter ae yonand 1 have spoken of.” The covenant which they had made as told in the first part of the lesson, “Behold the Lord is be- tween thee and me f>.cver.”~-God was witness, and God would pun- ish the one who broke the cove- PREPARATIONS FOR NATIONAL CONVENTION.’ Heitidquorters 1842 Lombard St., Philadelphia.
