The American Baptist

AMERICAN BAPTIST. TOO LATE. What silence we keep year after year With those who are most near to us and dear; We live beside each other day by day, And speak myriad things, but seldom say The full sweet word that lies just in our reach, Beneath the commonplace of common speech. Then out of sight and of reach they go— These close, familiar friends who loved us go! And sitting in the shadow they have left, Alone with homeliness and sore bereft, We think, with vain regret of some fond word That once we might have said, and they have heard. For weak and poor the love that we expressed Now seems, beside the vast sweet uncon- fessed; And sght the deeds we did to those un- done, And small the service spent to treasure won And underserved the praise for word and deed, That could have overflowed the simple need. This is the cruel cross of life to be Full fashioned only when the ministry Of death has been fulfilled, and in place Of some dear presence is but empty space, What recollected service can give then Sweet consolation for the "might have been?" WOMEN'S WORK We reached Power's Station on Sunday evening, July 6th, at 7:30. Stopped at the home of deacon Yeizer's, where we were treated kindly by his faithful wife, visited the church at night known as Dry Leavell Baptist church of which Rev. M. Watson is pastor. After a long and intense service we were introduced by deacon Yeizer (pastor Watson being absent) we made an appeal for our work. A collection was afterwards taken for us amounting to $1.50, the following giving 25 cents each; brethren Wm Bumgebale, Calvin Howard, sisters Lottie Howard. We left on Monday morning Lewisport; reaching this point we took stage line for the home of sister Salie Lewis who seems to be the prime mover for every good work for God, the Baptist and humanity, in the thriving little city of Lewisburg. We were kindly received by sister Lewis and her lovable mother who is uniring in the efforts to make one feel at home. At 8 p.m. we visited the Historic church for many years made so, by it being composed exclusively of women they have now, however, male members awaiting the ordinance of baptism. Here we met a small audience awaiting us, sister Lewis conducted devotional exercises, assisted by the choir, and then introduced the speaker a collection was taken for our work amounting to $1.25. Rev. Haskedwood, the faithful pastor could not remain over to the meeting owing to the serious illness of his wife but gave us 30s toward our collection beore leaving; the following gave 25 cents each, Mr., Salie Smith brother Wm. Harris, sold 3 charts for 30 cents the College Society promised to do their part toward the erection of our dormitory and hope to send sister Lewis as their messenger to Franklin. We left on Tuesday morning for Hawesville where upon arrival we were met at the station by Miss. Warren It was an extremely hot day, we were indeed almost unequal to the task of climbing the hill to our boarding place. We were soon made pleasant in the comfortable home of dear sister Warren whom we were sorry to find away from home on a visit to Evansville. She is indeed one of the most faithful workers we have in that section of the state. At night we visited the church which the Rev. S.F. Locke is the honored pastor, but so few came out owing to there being no service held on Sunday to make announcement, we had no meeting, sold 8 charts for 20 cents. On Wednesday morning we were off for Cloverport, ere we reached the city throngs of people could be seen coming in from every direction to witness the parade of Wallace's show, Stopped with Mrs. Bettie Haynes who is always found in a pleasant mood and is indeed a most affable hostess, deacon Haynes informed us that Rev. Locke upon leaving deemed it useless open the church even as he knew no one would be in attendance on account of the show blinding all good-bye we were off at 8:30 for Barstow to attend the 33rd annual session of the Central district Association. Reaching Louisville on schedule time, we soon reached the beautiful Pub House X No. 8 must 14 s0 home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Steward; how glad we were to get within sight of home, after an absence of quite ten weeks Taking dinner with them we remained until time to leave for Tenth Street station. Accompanied to the train by our beloved president, Mrs. M. E. Steward, we were soon off for historic Bartotown. In company with many ministers, we reached our destination, where we were met by Prof. Hawknot and Jordan, who were acting as escorts to the messenger. We were welcomed at the parsonage by Rev. and Mrs. Keeton, after taking supper with them we were after night service assigned to the home of deacon Lewis Hines, at whose home we were, indeed, most pleasantly entertained. It was indeed interesting to hear deacon Hines relate in a tremulous voice the things incident to the establishment of a Missionary Baptist church at Bartotown, How a few faithful men he in the least risked their lives, their home, their air; as they stood on guard while the goel was being preached in their humble place of worship, and how houses were set on fire from one end of the city to the other to excite the people and thus detract their attention from the gospel as preached, One Lord, One Faith and One Baptism; but they stood firm for the faith once delivered to the same until now (although once Catholics) a N-gro Baptist church has been fully established and the membership so greatly increased that they were able to indeed handsomely entertain the Association. God be praised! Grant that dear brother Keeton and his faithful wife who are laboring heart and hand together in the Master's vineyard at this place may he live long to do much more good for God and the denomination. We were indeed glad to learn through deacon Charles Allen this fact that through the unswerving leadership of Rev. Keeton they had been able to cancel a debt of seven hundred ($700 00) dollars an old debt not of his making. A side from keeping up our rent expenses. Let us as Baptist unite in one prayer that even a greater work for the Master may yet be done in Bartotown as well as throughout the world, for the harvest is ripe and the labores are few. We visited and enjoyed each session of the association, on Friday afternoon on motion of Rev. W. Craighead we were introduced, at the conclusion of the afternoon session and made a strong plea for the Baptist Women's Educational Convention, urging the proposed building of a young men's dormitory and solliciting means for our building fund. Two other collections had been taken previous to our introduction yet we succeeded in raising the handome sum of $8.00, the following named persons contributing; 50 cents Dr. C. H. Parrish, J. H. Frank, and E. B. Milton; those contributing 25 cents, Drs. D. A. Gaddle, C. L. Purce C. C. Bates. R. Reynolds, E. P. Marre. Reeva G. F. Watson, G. W. Floyd E. T. Offutt P. Generale George W.

House and Charles Allen, sisters Sallie Alup, Martha Duncan and Bettie Duncan. Sold 10 charts for $1.00. Asking the prayers of all. We remain yours in His service. L. M. JACKSON. WOMEN'S WORK Mrs. L.

The addresses of welcome were delivered at this service by Mrs. M. L. Doneghy and Rev. J. E. Wood and they are gems both in composition and de... ary—while the response by Rev. B. T. Fishback was equal to the occasion. The choir of the church sang an anthem and Rev. C. P. M. Bigbee, D. D. offered prayer preceding the splendid introductory sermon Rev. J. Fulier, who read as text Matt. 3:3 "Prepare ye the way of the Lord and make his path straight." A collection of $15 58 was received and the benediction pronounced by Rev. A. W. Harris. SECOND DAY—MORNING SESSION The Association opened Thursday morning with a larger attendance of messengers than on the opening day and Moderator Frank sounded the gavel promptly at 8:30 o'clock. Devotional services were conducted by Rev. G. B. Miller and H. Petterson. After reading of minutes the reading of letters was resumed until the letter from the new Baptist Women's Convention was reached. This brought on the discussion which had been anticipated from the opening of the session. The point of order was raised in regard to the enrollment of life and annual members, when the Moderator decided to delay or defer their enrollment was a violation of section 111 of the Constitution. The discussion was quite animated as the decision was not approved by a majority of the messengers. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. L. T. Buckler. AFTERNOON SESSION. Moderator Frank presided and Revs. G. F. Watson and C. C. Bates conducted the devotional services. After the reading of the minutes the Committee on Credentials submitted its report, but before its adoption the order of the day was announced and Rev. C. L. Purce, D.

Brown and John Moore conducted an enjoyable service of song and prayer. The minutes were read and approved as usual and additional church letters were read. Quite an animated discussion followed a motion to approve the report of the Committee on Credentials eliminating the life and annual members there from. This proposition was met with strong opposition and the Moderator ruled again on a point of order by Rev. E. W. Reed that it was violation of Sec 111 of the constitution. From this Rev. R. H. C. Mitchell appealed and while this was being considered Rev. W. H. McKidney, D. D., was introduced made a fine address and received $39 75 for the Cadiz Normal and Theological College. Adjourned with benediction by Rev. J. F. Adams. AFTERNOON SESSION. the Association was called to order promptly at 2 noon by Moderator, Frank, but there were many vacant seats while the devotions were being conducted by Revs. P. M. Young, J. Fisher and W. B. Wood. The reading of the minutes and new church letters were completed before the seats were well filled. The appeal made at the morning session which was postponed by an order of the day was taken up and the Association by a large vote refused to sustain Moderator Frank, who vacated the chair and refused to preside longer. Assistant Moderator, Hawkins was called to the chair who on account of illness declined to serve and called upon Assistant Moderator Wood to serve. The order of the day having arrived Mrs. Manie E. Steward, Mrs. Lizzle Bates and Mrs. Lulu Jackson representing the Baptist Women's Educational Convention were introduced and presented the greeting of the body their addresses were particularly touching and impressive and a collection of $11.05 was given them. This was followed by a thoughtful address by Rev. E. William representing the M. and F. College, clokinsville who received a collection of $7.05 and then came Rev. C. H. Parrish, D. D., in one of the most enthusiastic speeches of the day and received $17.60 for Eckstein Norton University A committee consisting of Revs. S. E Smith, H. W. Jones and C. Smothers were appointed to tender the unanimous request of the Association to Rev. J. H. Frank, D. D., to resume his position as Moderator. FVENING SESSION. The association met at 7:30 with Assistant Moderator Wood in chair. One of the most impressive Foreign Mission meetings was held by Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D. Foreign Mission Secretary with two native African preachers, before the regular service. A collection of $33.47 was taken. Rev. T. H. Maclea preached the Missionary sermon from Text 2 Cor 8:18. "And we have sent with him, the brother whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches." At the close of the session Rev. W. W. Wheeler offered prayer and Rev. P.H. Kennedy, DD General Missionary presented the claims of State Missions and collected $25.45. Even after hearing these addresses the auditor was willing to hear Rev Wm Becham, D.D. Field Secretary, of the National Baptist Publishing Board who made a wonderful address which was listened to with unusual interest. He also received a collection. FOURTH DAY—MORNING SESSION The Association was slow assembling Saturday morning as all the messengers seemed anxious to avoid the trouble wh ich the proceedings of yesterday seemed to indicate and were trying to find a way out of the dilema. Hence groups here and there were around the church discussing the situation. Strange to say this session was opened without a prayer and sung fervently the old familiar hymn "Once more we meet to pray." Letters from new churches were read and referre. The regular standing committees were appointed and the corresponding messengers were introduced. The numbers was larger than usual and all delivered short and interesting correspondence. Two more schools were remembered at this session when Rev. T. M. Faulkner received $11.49 for the London Academy and prof. W. H. Parker received $8.10 for the Normal and Industrial Institute at Bestville. AFTERNOON SESSION. Aas't Mod., Wood, presided and Revs, S. E. Smith and w. J. M. Price conducted devotional execlesies.

It was an unusual meet- ing in many respects and the work it accomplished was unusual, The attendance was not as large as was expected and the money collected was above the average exzectation ‘as the diferences among the breth- renin the state was expected to materially affect this part of the work. The Smount collected was $1,531.91 about $700.00 less than last year and it was apportioned aboutas follows: State University $644.00, State Missions $226.28, Foreign Missions $157.69. Associ- ational expences. including minutes $376.94 and quite a large sum for other denominational objects. As we’ suspected there was strong senti- ment against approving the work of the Executive Board in organizing the Bapiist Women’s Missionary Convemivn iit—the> Association withheld this. approval until the matter was passed upon by acom- mittee appointed to consider that _ question and report next year. Pe- culiarconditioas developed in the matter of electing officers and _ though it was understood that the Moderator would not stand for re- election, still it was found to be in the interest of peace and harmony todo that very thing and Rev. J. H. Frank, D. D, was -elected Modera- tor again. There was some confusion as a matter of course, but wise coun- sels prevailed, mutual explanations were made and what at one time seemed to be the parting of the ways was avoided and an understanding reached that will no doubt bea ben- efit to the. work. The majority of the Messengers were unable to put their wishes upon record which was “understood by all in attendance, so atruce was declared by meeting the minority halt way and in a be- coming spirit accept the inevitable. Unless the unexpected happens the present associational year will be ene of the best'in its history and’ the reports at Winchester in 1904 shouldbe the most satisfactory and encouraging. May every Baptist sacrifice if necessary and’ labor to that eag. ‘Tue organizaticn of a Soffrage League in Boston with the avowed purpose of antagonizing the Afro- American Council and hostile “to the sentiments and theories of Booker T. Washington and other tage leaders in the cause of race de- velopment, calls attention to the fact thet the leaders of this new tovement are the same persons who only a few weeks age attempted to treak up a meeting in that city which was being addressed YY Mr. ‘Washington At this ineeting some arrests were made and upon a trial the cflenders wae convicted and fi red for disorderly conduct, and all who participated were severely cen i the plans which will be appraved tO ar i Beige tite AMERICAN BAPTIST, FRIDAY AUGUST io0s that leadership which resides in the South. Higher education has its friends in the South as well as in Boston but that education which encourages such conduct as charac- terized that, public meeting which insulted Mr. WaShington dces not reflect any credit upon the race. The presumption that Southern leaders do not fully appreciate the conditions that prevail in this sec- tion and we are not competent to snggest remidies isa decided mis- take and those who share that opin- ion will sooner or later find it out. What the race needs atthis time is an earnest, inteligent and consecra- ted leadership which will unselfish- ly labor to remove all hinderances and improve all conditions. | Te timely letter af President Roosevelt to Gov. Durbin of Indi- ana will produce good results in calling public attention to the fre- quency of the cruelty of mob vio- lence in this country and arouse public sentiment against this kind lof lawlessness. The contents and sentiment of this admirable letter has been as warmly approved in the South as in theNorth but Gov. Heard of La. makes a mistake when he avers that mob violence is not directed against the victim largely on account of color and that the nameless crime is limited almost evclusively to one rice. A careful investigation, of thac ques- tion has convinced us that the com- ‘mission of that crime by white men ‘is more frequent than many suspect |and the offender is lest frequently the victim of mob violence. It is hoped however that the discussion of this question will result in lessen- ing the causefas well as the frequent outbursts of public sentiment against an entire people, because ot the wrong doing of individuals. ‘Our good people universally detest and discourage crime and throw the weight of their example and influence against it; but they cannot prevent those who are evilly disposed from doing wrong, nor do they feel that they should be held responsible: We know nothing of the merits or demerits of the suit instituted a- gainst the manageis of Greenwood Park, an enterprize conaucted by colored people in Parkland, but we trust that the complaints made are untrue and that the action in the premises is unjustifiable. It is how- ever to be regretted, that the wide open policy encouraged in this city has been encouraged by the man- agers and that picnics and similar gatherings have heeu allowed and encouraged on Sundays. But the conduct there has certainly been no worse than what 1s reported of Tacob Park and no such action has been found neccessary to suppress disorder at that place. Vice has grown bold in our city and unless some popular movement is inaugu- rated to prevent or curtail its'power it will gain such proportions that it will be impossible to suppress or control it in the future among either"Whites or blacks except by the most powerfull and stern measures.

For the first time in the history of Oldham County Teachers Institute we have had a woman Instructor, in the person of Mrs. Lillian Jones Brown of Indianapolis. The meeting was held in Kvnett M. E. Church at La Grange Ky. Aug 10-14. The citizens decorated the church beautifully in honor of the occasion with flowers of various colors and kinds. Mrs. Brown called the Institution to order by giving an excellent exposition of the aims and purposes of our work. The regular routine of assigning subject to teachers was done away with and the Lecture Method in which the teaches used note books followed by discussions of the ideas presented by the Instructor, in turn giving their own experiences in their respective schools. Mrs. Brown who has made a special study of physiography and nature at Cornell University and primary methods at Cook County Normal came to us filled with bright and healthful ideas giving them to us as the practical teacher, while we become the pupils. We feel that this has been a week of intellectual feasting, and each of us will go to our several schools better prepared in every way to give better service, thereby directly benefiting the district in which we labor. The people of the town have made the Institute appear a regular Chautauqua, for at every session the house was filled with an appreciative audience. The Superintendent pays Mrs. Brown the high compliment by this Institute was the best of all she has every attended and that other Superintendents will do well to employ her. We feel also that due credit must be given to Miss Minnie Crutchfield of Louisville Public Schools, who so successfully presented her method of teaching primary number work that the County Superintendent took her notes to use in other Institutes. We shall anxiously look forward to next year's work. Lexington M. and D M.eeting. Members present Revs. Porter, Hawthorn, Buckner, Board, Colam ese, Wilson, Hathaway, Spenser, Francis, Butler.

Motto Text — "Love your enemies, do good to them when hate you."—Luke 6:27— David had returned from the wilderness of Paran to the wilderness of Judah. He was here near to Ziph and the Ziphunites betrayed his hiding place, the hill Hachilah. But David knew them too well to trust himself to their power by remaining long at one place. Before Saul could come and surround the hill, he had retired further into the highlands. "And David arose and came to the place where Saul had pitched."—David J's scouts had kept him informed in regard to Saul's movements. Looking down from some elevation David saw where Saul was living. Abner, the son of Ner, was a great warrior. He was the uncle of Saul and commander of his army "And Saul lay in the trench."—Or, rather, behind the wagon. The Eastern armies when they camped for the night placed their baggage wagons around their camps as a rampart. In his hurry Saul had marched without tents. A spear was stuck in the ground by the chief in order to indicate his position, so that David knew where to look for Saul. "Ahimelech the Hittite."—The Hittites furnished for a long time one ground of attack upon the Bible. History knew nothing of such a race, it was said therefore the Bible was wrong. But excavations have proved that the Hittites had a very powerful kingdom, north of Palestine. Zeruiah' was David's sister, and therefore Abishai was his nephew. When David asked who would go with him on his dangerous trip. Abishai who also was brave to rashness was ready to go. "So David and Abishas came to the people by night."—Saul was in the centre of the circular encampment which was surrounded by the wagons. That was always the place for the tent of the chief. "Abner and the people lay round about him."—They considered the wagons sufficient guard against any wild beast, that might be prowling around, and they did not dread an attack from David and his small band. Therefore they had no need of sentinels. How could evil befall the king when the brave and faithful Abner was near? But nothing can protect a man whom God does not protect. And nothing can injure a man whom God guards. "Then said Abisha God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day."—Even the rough warrior recognized the sovereignty of God. To have killed Saul would have been in accordance with the usages of war. God had indeed given David an opportunity to kill Saul, and the temptation was great. It was a trial of David's faith in God and God's promises, and of obedience to the law of God, a higher law than military usage. Will the time ever come when the armies of so-called Christian nations will put God's law first? Alas! in these days they not only forget God, but do not follow the laws of civilized warfare. Abishai assures his uncle there would be no danger in killing Saul, because he would pierce him with one stroke of the spear and Saul would make no noise to awaken his sleeping soldiers. "Destroy him not for who can stretch forth his hand against the Lord's anointed and be guilless."—God's anointing made Saul's life sacred and inviolable. His life must be left in God's hand who would end it when and in what way assumed best to him. David confirmed his words with ner how abhorent the killing of Saul was. There is no thought of exultation that Saul's day would come. David meant his life must be left to God to end in whatever of the ways he would probably die that God saw best. "The Lord forbid that I should stretch forth my hand against the Lord's anointed." For by allowing Abishai to act, David would make himself as responsible for the murder as if he had done it himself. Take now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go."—A cruse of water is usually, in warm climate, kept near a person couch, as a draft in the night time is found very refreshing. Saul's cruse would probably be of perior materials or more richly ornamented than common ones, and therefore by its size and form be easily distinguished."—Cambridge Bible. A cruse was a small jug. "And no man saw it or knew it, neither awaken for they were all asleep."—A very vivid setting forth of the silence of their escape The reason is given in the following clause. God had caused them to sleep soundly. Hence no man awoke to give the alarm. And thus God shielded David in his daring venture, and gave Saul another opportunity to repent of his sinful desire to murder David. When David (and Abison) had reached a safe distanced on the mountain top, David cried out to Abner and woke up the sleeping camp. The teacher should have the verses which are omitted in the lesson read in order to keep the connection. "Then said Saul I have sinned, return my son David."—There is no reason to doubt Saul's sincerity in making this confession of sin. Face to face as he had been with death, his feelings were touched by his escape and the magnamity of David, But it was not true repentance. Feeling is but fleeting. His will remain unmoved. David was his son in law. David's action had taken away from Saul the only shadow of pretext he had for trying to kill David, and that was that David was plotting to kill him. The folly of all sin is almost as great as its wickedness. Especially is this true of such sins as drunkenness. "And David said Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it."—David did not dare to trust himself witnin Saul's reach as he had done the time when he spared Saul's life in the cave. "The Lord render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness."—A sharp and well-deserved rebuke to Saul, who had been very far from righteous and faithful. God had put D avid to the test by giving him an opportunity to kill Saul. David had stood the test and thus proved his faithfulness to God whose anointed he would not harm. David prays that God would protect his life from Saul as he had spared Saul's life for God's sake, because God had anointed him. Seeing clearly that God was with David, Saul felt for the moment that it was useless to contend against him. But the words did not ring true, and David did not trust himself into Saul's hands. To return good for evil is the great lesson here. And another as important is to beware of the reasoning of Abishai and not to think that God means we shall do a thing because He gives us an opportunity to do it. We must not order our lives by what may seem to us the indications of Providence, but the Word of God.
