AMERICAN BAPTIST. VOL. XXVI, NO. v. CONSOLATION Hast thou forgotten God who gives the rain? Pete teous and merciful the long showers pour On parching fields where dust and drouth were sore; Yet will thine eyes watch out the night again? Peace on the shadowed hills and sky is deep; Shall not tine heart be comforted with sleep As earth is comforted and lulled of pain? Before thy prayer the heavens are bruised still, Nor yet to cool thy thirst of fountains fill, Nevertheless His word shall not be vain, What hope had earth, gasping at yesterday? What hope hast thou, whose comfort shall be soon? Are ye not in His hands for bliss on bank? Postmorrow, where th upland fields lay black, Thou go forth and look on life come back; Carves shall follow secret time yet again To morrow, where thy heart lay withering, To a mis of love before his feet shall spring; Peace shall repay the sevenfold for pain, Just thou forgotten God who gives the rain? Mabo Earth, in the Atlantic. V gris, fa Cold. You can be quite sure when the child goes to hit you. In the fall and winter it may set in the bowels, producing severe pain.

The Nagging Preacher, The preacher who uses the pulpit for settling old grudges and insisting people he does not like is an wry of his calling and should surrender his place in the pulpit. Such persons are small men, too small for the work they have in hand—too small for shepherds. We allow, pity such persons more than we do the individual who is annoyed by their littleness. In the first place they solemn or never make success of their work. The people soon distinguish the difference between a little annoying overseer and the great-hearted fatherly pastor. As a rule people are anxious to bestow their affection upon some one; they are anxious to follow some one. As soon as they find the person whom they consider deserving they are ready to do anything they can for the good of the cause and to reader his efforts for good success. If they do not consider him deserving, they are more than apt to neutralize his best endeavors by hindering his work, if possible. In the second place the mugging preacher does very little good. He who coaxes a person up to him to get a chance to strike him will not like it get the opportunity to do more than once. In the same way he who invites an individual to his church only to take advantage of the opportunity to prescribe the good to say such things as ammy and humiliate will soon find that even though such person or persons continue to come he can accomplish little or no good for them or with them. It is really surprising to note how many preachers destroy their opportunity to do good by such methods. Not only does the person whom they threaten soon tire, but others of the congregation as well. Slowly it may be but surely they will lose their hold until they find themselves almost without a congregation. Poor sinful man years for a great loving heart in the man who comes in the hands of the Master to deliver the message of life. Then, too, they expect him to deliver his message in the spirit of the gospel, and when he fails to do so he is never to them what he might otherwise be. The Lord save the niggaging preacher and save his people from being driven away by him — S. W. Christian Advocate. A Pastor Resigns After having patrolled the Rock Castle hospital church, of MoLood, Ky., for the last nine years and the New Harmony Baptist church, Lewisburg Ky. for the last six years. I have now resigned both to give more of my time to the first Baptist church, South Carroll n. Ky. I shall only attend this one church this year. The two aboard named churches Lewisburg and McLeston station are good churches. Any good good preserver may write to brother J W Sutton, Lewisburg, Ky., or A E Hart, M Lod, Ky. My address is Drakehoo, Ky. Dear Sister: I again appeal to you in the intestest of you Colour's Bond. We came from our first conversion very much encouraged over all its success but we must continue to work to accomplish our endeavour. This work should not be forced to a new but to the beginning Baptists of the State of Kentucky. The women are making a double effort; we children want to do likewise. Please some way that you can set the cold in interest to the work and give the bonds a regularity. We are only after the amount that children send us for our work, but we want them trained to do good work—that of giving without receiving—as our Son Master has said, "He is more orded to give than to receive."¹¹ By the assistance of the Lord we hope to make this year than we have in previous year. May peace and property remain with each and every one of you in the prayer of your host be rewarded. 5 Loon on the date in bourd.

Louisville, KY. The February Voice of the Negrc. The press all over the country was swish in its praises of January number 11 of the Voice of the Negro. The editors and publishers today, have gone right ahead and got up an even better number of February. Of the many Negroes who have attempted to write poetry, probably one deserve more attention than Benjamin Orlish Brawley. He is the one of the few so far for a classical poet free from vowel and dialect. In the February Voice of the Negro he writes a beautiful poem on the great English dramatist, "Christopher Marlowe." T. Thomas Fortune has been with the muse too, his poem, "Love's Mystic Time," has it a touch of address and a touch of grace. D. Webster the well-known Negro poet and catter, contributes a poem entitled "The Voice of the Negro," and John H. Alans, the Negro artist, has drawn a Negro youth in a mid life cap and gown on a little skiff skig the world or a man's chance in the race of life the drawing is used with Mr. Lavin poem and also as a front piece. Foyd is as naturally as ever with his "Waystone." Prof. Kelby Motor continues his dignified cussion of the Negro as a Political factor. His paper is certainly a keen analysis of the black man's position. Prof. John K. L. Diags introduces his first sociological paper on Negro Church Life. He shows painly how much the church has done for the masses of blacks. J. Max Barbri is surely living up to the promise made in the first number of the Voice of the Negro. In his Monthly Review of man and events he presents a striking originary. His columns is at once "cauturant and sociological history so accurately given and so vividly portrayed that it will be a kind of documentation for the coming generations." There are many more interesting features and the magazine is handsomely illustrated. Every body ought to take it. It is being sent from 913 until Building, Atlanta, GA.

House Bill No. 64 of the Kentucky General Assembly, introduced by sir. Helfin, and which is most intended to disafforesee the Negro vote in the State, will have the effect of disfranchising thousands of white voters — practically every voter whom election efforts may not desire to vote. The method of disfranchisement is proposed under the form of an amendment to the torstitution, which must first be ratified by the pre-election of the State. The amendment adds a new paragraph to the clauses DEFINING THE CITIZENS WHO SHALL NOT BE PERMITTED TO VOTE IN THE following language, to among the Southern "Gangofthe Slaves." The Grand ath r's Claus . "Farah—Persons who are unable to testify and write any section of the Constitution and give reasonable explanation of same; but no one person who was, on January 1, 1867, or at any time prior to these 6, offered to vote under the laws of any State in the United States where in the residue, and no threat descent of any such person shall be denied the right to vote at any election of this State by reason of his failure to possess the education qualification therein prescribed. The General Assembly shall provide for the registration of all persons unable to vote without the educational qualification herein prescribed, and small, on or before November 15, 1810, provide for the making of a permanent fee of such registration, and all persons so registered shall lose all the rights to vote in all elections by the people of this State, unless otherwise or qualified by this Constitution." The bill was referred to the Committee of Suffrage and elections, the majority of women, on a petition vote, was reported to it, with the recommendation that it pass. The minority, consisting of Represidents in Smith, Paca, and Nolin, have filed the owl vote report, giving the reasons why the bill should not pass. The minority report contains matters of the greatest importance and it rests to many thousand voters, white and black, Republicans and Democrats, who will be distracted in the cynic the amendment should be adopted. Thousand of Democratic voters would be dislanced under such a law in Republican localities, and thousands of Republican voters in Democratic localities, so that it passage would offer a premium for the disfranchisement of every intelligent voter in counties where they chance to be in a minority. The minority report will become a document of historic value, as such an amendment would probably be the beginning of a national agitation on the subject. The minority report in full is as follows: the Minority Report Against Defraudment. "To the Honorable, the House of Represtatives: the unidentified members of the Committee on Suffrage and Elections, to whom was referred House Bill No. 64, leave to submit our report, that in our judgement the bill ought to be rejected. "We deem it just to our honorable colleagues, and to this House that we give birth, some of the reasons why we think the bill ought not to pass: "First—it is inherently unjust. It is intended to aid and drive up of their right to share in selecting those who make and execute the laws governing in many number of people whose citizens, who are competent to pay the rate of taxes on what property they may have as other people, whose lives and property and well-being are controlled by the same laws excted by the same officials as other peoples. It is taxation without representation—without the right to help select their representatives. It provides an unequal application of the fundamental laws of government; it denies equal rights to all, and gives exclusive legal privileges to some." S. cond.—it is a postman measure. Whatever may be thought to the statute law of the St. Peters, we admit that its organic law ought to be nonpartisan. Such was the judgment of the Convention that from the Constitution such was the belief of the people who so overwhelminely adopted it. But this proposed amendment, when its real meaning is looked to and readily found beneath the rather thin disguise of attempted speciousness, is to dis franchise a large number of voters because they vote. In opposition to the opinion of the majority of this body, and probably a majority of the other voters of the Common health, Such ex reise by the majority for the sole purpose of continuing their own control of fille is a most dangerous percident; one it at that House should hostate to abjure, unless there should be reasons presented for it that at least shaw absolute necessity. *Third—It is not necessary. In this State the Negro vote, at which, of course, the amendment is directed, is not a controlin factor. It is less than one eighth of all the vote. It is not possible for it to ever become dominant at the ply, or to control by its majority any political party that can poll a majority of the votes in this State.* "It does not and cannot elect a single representative in Congress or in this House, nor a single senator, nor a single county officer. It is not in the majority in any city or county in this Commonwealth. Nor does the party with whom the Negro vote has generally in the past vote elect the county officers in a single county in the State, by reason of that vote. The places where the Negro vote is denied gives the largest Democratic majors. The counties test uniformity elect Republican officials have none or but few Negro voters. The Negro vote can be a factor in such elections only in the event that the demonstant party should become so corrupt or otherwise objectable in its management of local affairs as to strings temporally a very large number of voters who belong to that party. In such event it must be conceded that the digger to such political enterprise treasures, in that at least, it serves a good purpose. In this State the growth of population shows a constant loss of proportion against the Negro race. Therefore there is no such social or racial imbalance as was thought to justify measures similar to this by such State as Mississippi, Alabama, North Carolina and other Southern State, where the Negro population is greater than the white. Happily no soon disturbing question has arisen or can arise here. It has never threatened even a single community in this State. Te o, why use it is an indication that justifiably obese? * Fifth. It is a menace to Kentucky's prestige. Such measures, resulting in the disaffection of more than one half of the voting population (taken altogether) of the Southern states, will result, it is feared, in retaliatory measures, whereby Western, No, northern and Eastern States will demand, and may once it by the same rule of might that you can by this measure that the representation of the South in the Congress and the Electoral College be correspondingly elicited—that is, be limited to its voting population. If this would be done, it would result in Kentucky's losing one or two members of Congress and as many votes in the Electoral College. Therefore, his power in those assemblies would be lessened, and her ability to forward her political interests and those industrial greats diminished, and perhaps lost to represent this on the other side, the State gets absolutely nothing; the dominant party gets not another office of any kind; no social or racial question is settled then by; those matters are slain in a good state of adjustment here as seems possible now; this measure is no event helps the situation. "Sixth-The measure disfranchise foreign-born white voters. National and State laws, properly executed, will exclude from naturalization all foreign-born subjets who are unable for citizenship here. But many desirable immigrants have come to this country and to this State, and will likely continue to do so. Such of these as were not voters in this state prior to 1867 would be denied the right to vote, although they had fulfilled the law's requirements and became good and useful citizens. It they could not read or write, or sell factories, expound some section of the Constitution, a very large percent of German, Irish and other foreign-born population and persons born in other States and remove here could be, and would be, disfranchised by this amendment, while other white citizens, equally illiterate, and maybe not such desirable citizens, would be allowed this valuable privilege. "S venth—Its tendency is vicious. Probably the most insistent feature of the proposed amendment is its lack of safety in its application. It is not an educational qualification; it is intended really as a senior qualification, though, as is pointed out, it goes further. No fixed standard of intelligence is provided. That the citizen can read and write does not qualify him to vote under it. He must do more. He must be able to expound the Constitution by what standard? Simply by that of a possessive ignorant election officer, who, himself, could not -xposed a single section of that instrument, much less every section of it. The citizens then, must satisfy the election officer, more than 2,000 different standards in the State, because there are that many precincts. No right of appeal notting to control but the opinion of the election officer as to whether the expulsion of the Constitution by the quiz is satisfactory to the mind and comprehenss o of that particular office therefore, an illiterate who satisfied the officer, or who was satisfactory to him, could vote. The other persons who was not satisfactory, could not, though he passed a first class examination on civics. The officer might not and in many instances would not be able to recognize the correctness of the answer of the applicant. The result would be that the right to vote—a privilege of the first importance to the State—will be left, so far as a great number of voters is concerned, to the absolute discretion of the election officers, selected by their party managers for their known partisan bias. Due temptation to the election officer and to the poor he pleas citizen is obviously a menace to the upright vote of the State. "Eight. It would complete the election system—already complicated enough. It would lessen the number of electors. It would increase the power of the machine political, it would open new doors for you, a fraud, and勾结 trickery actions. It would be dominating to the people who adopt or who execute it, for no more state can be a jus and oppressive to the inherent and helpless without forming the very liberty we all covet wd enjoy.

Bonner, an Alumnus from the Business Department, was admitted to the bar of Louisville as a practicing lawyer. On by one, our sons are showing themselves the equal of other institutions. Another instance of the greatness of the work done here is the way Poof, Drye handled the large congregation Sunday morning week at Fifth Street church. He stirred them as they are saddom stirred. That one sermon was worth more than all the money that cannon ever paid into the school. That is a result of the money they have contributed. The Seniors delivered their second orations Wednesday the 20 inst. They did nicely. Everything points to a grand commencement, M. y 13 h. Dr. Puce preached at Berern Sunday evening the 17th to a good audience. The Literary Society rendered a very enjoyable programme last Friday night. About half of the second term gone. Teachers and students are going every ding moment something to keep in store. The reception Monday night week was appreciated by all. The boys and girls have had much pleasurable skating and sliding on the ice on the campus. The boys enjoy punching the bag as well as sawing wood. We beg to acknowledge one dollar from the Bloom field church, Rev. Wm. Brown, pastor, and two dollars and thirty cents from the First Ward church Paducah, Rev. W. E. Glover pastor. Many thanks to these brethren. ESTABLISHED1879 Mesdames Scott and Marshall were among the visitors on Senior Day, also Rev. J. White of Jeffersonville and other friends. The School attended the lecture at Calvary church, by editor T. homas Fortune, of New York. The lecturer was at his best. Dr. J. H Fitzbutler was a pleasant caller on Wednesday. He has a modern physician's buggy. It is Easy to Say "B careful," but we must all go from heated houses in chili outer air, and the change sets us coughing and wheezing. Avoiding winter colds is difficult; during them is not hard if you take them Lung Balsam. Better begin when the coil is young and not wait until it settles deep into the lungs, for then, even with Al'eu's Lung Balsam, complete relief will be slower. Storms in Madison. The evening of the 2nd inst., a real storm was withered in Richmond, the whole county suffered but no one was orally hurt no property damaged. The following evening a local storm struck the residence of Rev. T. H. Boudries with such force that the whole family were shocked beyond the power to tug or pen to describe. Notwithstanding the party were armed with dry goods, goodsies, queersware etc. in no small quantity. The table on which the products were placed fairly ground beneath its burden, white pastor Boudries and family tried to be reminded of the goodness of the Lord in caring for his people. Among those who participated we note Miree Caleba Duccan, Mine L. Enry, Mamie G. Bennett, Bettie M. Paules, Tatiana C. Harris, Patrice S. and Olivia L. Turner, Barrie I. Wynn, Ida Duccan, and Miss. Fannie S. Gwyyn, all of whom are city and county teachers. May be who led captivity captive and gave good gifts into men bliss these good people ever, is the wish of him who suffered the stoke.

We would like to ask those contemporaries, who weekly claim that the Air American Council is the proper organization to look after Southern disfranchisement and the suffrage question, "What has the Council ever done in its long existence along this line?" To our mind, we may be wrong, it has not very recently passed resolutions, and we joined. Just what good these meetings resolutions, and adjournments have accomplished, we have failed to see. Let some one arise and explain -- The Reformer Some of the people behind the Reformer have been among those who have met in the Afro-American Council, at times, and took part in the discussions and the resolutions and the adjournments, and they know as much about what the Council has done and tried to do as any body else. If the Council has accomplished but little is it not the fault of those who are at the head of it but of such carpets as the Reformer, who prefers to shake the heads and ask questions, instead putting their enthusiasm and cash behind the work of the Council. And the Reformer will be competent to admit that the men in control of the Council now and who have controlled it for years past are men of responsible character and national reputation, who have given their time and money with out stint and murmur to promote the work of the Council. If the Reformer and the masses of the race have failed to back up the meetings and resolutions and adjournments of the Council with their time and money, are they the proper people to ask questions which are answered by the record and are therefore important, and most unexcusable ignorance uses the language of importance? We think not. The National Afro-American Council has done all that the leaders and masses of the race have enabled it to do by their enthusiasm and money; it will do more when the leaders and masses give it more enthusiasm and money. It has had charge of litigation of one sort and another ever since it was organized at Chicago in 1890, the first of its cases being brought and won in 1891 by Hon. Judson W. Lyons, then its council. At this time it has in hand one case to test the Constitution of Louisiana and another to test the right of the Pullman Palace Car Company to refuse Afro-Americans accommodations, both cases being on the way to the Federal Supreme Court; and President Fortune has been spending the past thirty days in Western New York and some of the Southwestern States on a lecture trip in an effort to arouse the people and raise the money necessary to pay the cost of prosecuting the cases. We know that everywhere he has appeared the people have given him an enthusiastic reception, but the cash returns have not been what they should have been under the circumstances. The Afro American's case in law and equity cannot be won with wind and superheated air; there must be money behind the effort, and the masses must put up the money. Let the Reformer stop asking questions which it should be able to answer off hand, and put some of its cash and enthusiasm behind the work of the National Afro-American Council The United States Supreme Court, last week reaffirmed the ruling made in the case of Carter vs. the State of Texas, to the effect that the exclusion of negroes from grand juries in cases involving criminal charges against members of their race is in violation of the Constitution, and therefore not permissible. THIS decision grew out of a similar case in Arkansas and it was remanded to the State Court for trial under the law as interpreted by the Supreme Court. We suppose after a while the Southern States may see the justice of this ruling and select citizens possessing the required qualifications to serve on juries without the question o. color entering into the matter. --- CONSIDERABLE activity is being shown in political circles at this time and candidates for delegates at large to the National Republican Convention are being announced on every hand. It is certain that a solid Roosevelt delegation will be sent from Kentucky and now the only question will be that of availability, services, location, etc. Among the names now being named for delegate at large are: Ex Gov. W. O. Bradley, Hon. J. W. Yerkes Col. M. B. Belknap; Megsrs J. P. Ernst, G W Long, E E. Underwood, G W Gentry, W D Johnson, R. T. Berry, A S White and W H. Steward. Either of these geiten would be acceptable delegates as they are all good men and all for Roosevelt. The man with the longest pole will no doubt knock the persimmon THE death of Bishop Thomas Underwood Dudley not only removes one of the most distinguished representatives of the Episcopal Church and an honored citizen, but one of the best friends the Negro had in the entire South. His death is not only mourned among his own people, but the colored people without regard to creed share in this sorrow for in every time of need he has proven his friendship. At the time of his death he was preparing an address on the Race Problem in which he was planning to present the favorable side of that subject in his usual friendly and sympathetic way. He was a friend to humanity--tried and true and it is fitting that all should join in paying a sad tribute of respect to his memory. The question of the right of Negroes to serve up the Grand Jury of the Curcuit Court was raised this week in the case of a Negro charged with murder. The question will be argued in the Circuit Court tomorrow morning and if it is determined by law and the recent decisions of the U. S.Supreme Court on that question and not by prejudice or sentiment the contention will be sustained for it is just and equitable Since it has been raised however if the decision is unfavorable it should be appealed as the other cases have been and a decision secured that will prevent the exclusion of citizens from jury service on account of color, which is contrary to sound law and good morals. WORDS OF CHEER The Georgia Baptist extends most cordial congratulations to the American Baptist of Louisville, Ky upon closing up its first quarter century and entering upon its 26.h year with the advent of 1904. The American Baptist was formerly the organ of the National Baptist Convention, and is today the oldest colored Baptist paper in the whole country. As we understand it, the Christian Recorder of the A. M. E. church is the only paper published in the country that ranks with the American Baptist in age. The personal friendly relations of the Georgia Baptist man and Editor Steward of the American Baptist and his family causes us to rejoice especially in the success of our honored senior Our hope is that editor Steward and his paper may live yet many years to do battle for the Lord and his people.—Georgia Baptist.

The Corinthian Baptist Church, Frankfort, Ky., has insisted upon Rev E T. Fitchback remaining with them as pastor and he has consented to do so. Both church and pastor will now work in perfect accord to make the future the best in the history of the church. --- Gen. Daniel R. Collier, Pension Agent for Kentucky, died suddenly last Sunday morning almost without a moments warning. He was a Republican of the old school and has proven his devotion in more ways than one. His remains were taken to Lancester-his old home where they were buried last Tuesday. The Alabama tranchise law, designed to deprive Negroes of the voting power, has in one year disfranchised 47.000 white men, who do not value the free man's privilege of voting at $1.50. the amount of the poll tax. A campaign of education among the ignorant whites is evidently called for by conditions due to legislation in Alabama — The Herald. According to the statistics given out there were more white men tried in the single city of Chicago in one year for assaults on women than the total number of Negroes thus accused throughout the country. Last year there were eleven colored men who were lynched accused of this crime and nine others simply charged with the attempt. We are glad to know that black men haven't a monopoly even on the accusations for this terrible crime.—S. W. Christian Advocate. "China Pitcher Bill" Ewing, a familiar negro character in Kansas City, was buried yesterday from the Carroll-Davidson undertaking parlors. He was 52 years of age, and one of the city's most interesting characters. He came here from Tennessee about twenty years ago, bringing with him a thirty-two gallon china pitcher. The old negro claimed that the pitcher was a valuable curio. He at one time put --- a price of $10,000 on it. Soon he said that he had been offered $35,000 for the pitcher, but had refused it. At different times he valued the pitcher at $50,000, $75,000 and $100,000. This latter figure was the price at which he held the treasure at his death. — Kansas City Mo., Journal. Testimonial To An Honored The testimonial of the Ministers' and Deacons Conference to Rev. D. A Gaddie, D. D., at the Greenst. Baptist Church. Thursday evening of last week was a decided success despite the very inclement weather, which made the attendance much smaller than the occasion merited. This testimonial had been arranged by the Conference in honor of the long and valuable service Dr Gaddie had rendered that body as Secretary and a Committee had arranged an appropriate program Rev. E. P, Marrs, D. D., presided, and the choir of the church tarnished the musical numbers. The opening prayer was made by Rev. A Merrifield and short addresses were made by Revs. J. H Frank, D.D. Moderator of the Conference, T. F. Blue J. C. Martin, I. H. Rhodes and W. R. Pavne; Brethren W. H. Steward, and Isaac Curtis and Miss Nellie L. Frue. These addresses all unbounded in unstinted praise and commendation which the veteran pastor fully deserved. Rev. W. H. Craighead in behalf of the Conference presented Dr. Gaddie with a well filled purse, and Bro. R. A Lewis in behalf of the Board of Deacons of the Green st Church presented him with a handsome dressing gown as an evidence of their appreciation. Dr. Gaddie responded to the addresses in a most fitting manner and his words of thanks and sympathy were very impressive When the exercises were concluded the ladies of the congregation invited all the guests to the lecture room where a most elaborate banquet was spread and enjoyed.

World's Fair March 1904. Mr. John C. Weber, director of Weber's Military band of Cincinnati known as the "Prince Band of America," has composed the St. Louis World's Fair March 1904—and dedicated it to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. It will be distributed through the passenger department of the B. & O. S. W. R. , World's Fair Route, at 10 cents per copy. The music is in sheet form, arranged for the piano, being very handsomely gotten up, with highly illuminated title cover. Mr John C. Weber is not only a great Musical Director, but he has written some very catchy and popular marches. The St. Louis World's Fair March is the latest success, and will add fur her to his fame. Mr. Weber and his great organization of artists has twice defeated all comers in the national contests at Alks' Reunions. The latest triumph was at Baltimore, Md., on the 21st of last July when a notable contest, composed of the leading bands of America won the first prize of $1,000.00. It is confidently expected that Mr. Weber's World's Fair March will become a popular air during the next year, and every household should have a copy of this music. Send 10 cents in silver to the undersigned and a copy of the World's Fair March will be mailed to your address. Mark Envelope, "WORLD'S FAIR MARCH." Mention this paper when ordering. O. P. McCARTY.

Watson addressed the Conferedce on 'Is it possible to believe the Baptist Doctrine and act at variance with the same, if so is it a sin.' The Committee to confer with the Ministerial Alliance submitted a report which was discussed without final action. The following oeffred by Rev. C. H. Parrish D.D. was adopted. Bishop Thomas Underwood Dudley died Friday afternoon in New York. Bishop Dudley had devoted twenty-nine years of his life to Episcopal church work in Kentucky. His usefulness, however, went far beyond church tines. He was the abiding 'r. end of colored people and especially in our own city and State, always approachable and ever ready to lend a helping hand. We, the Baptist ministers and deacons of the city of Louisville, deeply feeling the loss of our distinguished citizen, Christian gentleman and loyal friend, do hereby express our condolence to his widow and family, and while bowing to decree of our All-wise Master, are thankful to him for the many years service exemplary Christian life and character which he has granted to us in Bishop Dudley. We suggest a memorial meeting in respect to his memory by the colored people of Kentucky, without regard to denomination. We also suggest that these resolutions be placed upon our records, a copy transmitted to the family and the city newspapers. Mrs Mollie Williams addressed the Conference in regard to a move ment inaugurated by the Womans' Improvement Club to prosecute two white men for outraging a colored child and a collection was given for that purpose.

The devils knew him Sunday School Lessons A SABBATH IN CAPERNAUM. Motto Text—' He laid his hands on every one of them and healed them."—Luke 4:40. Our Lord I had been tempted forty days in the wilderness, had returned aud called the first four apostles from their nets to be fishers of men. This is upon his second coming, in to Galilee. "And they went into Capernaum. A town upon the sea coast which our Lord made his home after leaving Nazareth. Josephus mentions it once. It has been so entirely destroyed that its site is not certainly known: "And straightway on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught."—Christ never lost any time in his work when he could he went "straight way" to that work. Synagogue were the Jews' gathering places for worship on the Sabbath day. Their worship was simple, consisting of psalmus sung, prayer and reading of the Scriptures with comments. The worship was free, strangers being allowed to take part. It was conducted by the hereditary elders of the villages, who were hence called "rulers of the synagogue." This synagogue into which our Lord entered was built by the devout Roman centurion (Matt. 8:15; Luke 7:2). Luke tells us it was our Lord's custom to worship in the synagogues on the Sabbath days. He set thus an example of regular attendance on public worship. The elders could not entertain him, nor could they instruct or benefit him, or teach him the will of the Lord more perfectly. But he went, and he went regularly. Those who neglect the sanctuary, in view of his conduct, would do well to consider their reasons and excuses now while there is room for repentance. "And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority."—The word "astonished" is a very strong one, they were fairly bewildered in their amazement. And no wonder, for not even the great prophets, including Moses, had ever spoken with the calm self-assertion of this young carpenter of Nazareth He declared "I say unto you," exactly as if his words were of equal weight and authority with the words which God had spoken to Moses. It is a mystery how men can deny the divinity of Jesus, and yet call him a good man. If he were not one with God, his self-assertion contained the most awful blasphemy. "Not as the scribes,"—They did not presume to declare anything by their own authority, but only to explain what was written in the law and the prophets. Ver. 23 Miracles were needed to attest the truth of Jesus' words and to support the authority with which he spoke. "A man with an unclean spirit"—literally in an unclean spirit, in the grasp of, fully under its control. Both body and mind were controlled by the Spirit. These spirits were the angels of the devil, his followers in sin and despair. How large a number of angels fell we have no means of knowing. Whether men are to this day possessed of devils we cannot say positively. "And he cried out"—the unclean spirit and not his victim. "Let us alone."—Whether meaning more than one devil was in that man, or speaking for all the devils generally cannot be said positively. "Art thou come to destroy us?"—In Matthew a spirit asks if he had come to torment them before their time? The devils all seemed to know well there was a time coming in which they were to be confined in the torments of hell, and they dreaded that time with a horror. It would be well for careless sinners to con- AMERICAN BAPTIST, FRIDAY JANUARY 29 1904 sider. The devils knew what hell was, and they were in object fear lest Jesus should send them there a little before the appointed time. This unclean spirit acknowledges by his word both the power and authority of our Lord. The devils begged him, they never made any attempt to resist him. This again is proof of his divinity, for the devil was not afraid to strive with the great chief of the angelic hosts, Michael, the archangel. "I know thee whom thou art, the Holy One of God."—Imagine the a nazement of the people of Capernaum in hearing an unclean spirit speak thus to the Carpenter of Nazareth! The devils believed that Christ was the Son of God, and in every instance they obeyed him promptly. But their obedience was from fear, not from love; they did not repent of their violence nor desire holiness; the Holy Spirit never moved their hearts, nor has Christ mode a propitiation for their sins. What deep gratitude and love is due to God from fallen men in that he has offered them salvation, and the Spirit prepares their hearts to receive it. "Had thy peace and come out of him."—Our Lord shows his absolute authority over the demons in these words. "The unclean spirit obeyed both of these commands, and obeyed them promptly. God exacts forced obedience from the levits. He expects loving and free obedience from his children Shame on them if in promptness and thoroughness the children fall below the devils! "What new doctrine is this?"—The people in the synagogue felt the connection between the words of Jesus and his miracles. They cannot be separated. Let him who denies the authenticity of the miracles deny also the truth of the deocrines to be consistent. "Immediately his fame spread abroad."—There were two hundred towns and villages, Josephus tells us, in the narrow limits of Galilee. "They entered into the house of Simon and Andrew."—These brothers had lived in Bethsaida, but had just removed to Capernaum, whether because Jesus made that his center of operations or not because it was a better place for their fishing business is not known. "But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever."—We are elsewhere told it was a great fever. It is strange that the Catholics should have chosen Peter as the apostle from whom to try to trace the succession of the popes. For they insist on the celibacy of the popes and priests, and Peter is the one of whose marriage there is the plainest proof. His wif's mother was very ill, and they go to Jesus for help for her. Ver. 31. Our Lord went into her room and took her by the hand and raised her up. As he took this method with her, some have conjectured that she was delicious, but it is mere conjecture. She was certainly very sick with a "great fever," and doubtless as weak and emaciated as such patients usually are. The lever did not leave her weak and sinking, as fevers leave, but as strong, as well as she ever was. It must have filled the spect to s with awe to see the change in her appearance as the hand of Jesus raised her from her bed. "And she ministered unto them."—These few words not only show her restoration to strength, but her energetic and kindly character. When Jesus heals our souls of the laprosy of sin, we must use our recovered strength in his service. And that service for women is chiefly where this woman served in their homes. "Ank at even when the sun did set."—The Sabbath ended at sunset, and the people waited till it was over "And all the city was gathered together at the door."--No doubt every one who could walk went, and those who could not were carried, to be healed, and thus all flocked to the Master. But not from love to him, nor because they would have their sins forgiven. but alas! the men whom he had come to save did not. A busy Sabbath in the life of Jesus was this which is given us by Mark in these few graphic words. It was filled as his life was, in preaching to men souls and healing their bodies. But in studying this life we must not forget that it sinks into i signi nance when compared with his death. He came to die in man's stead, and it is his blood which makes atonement for us, not that wonderful, beautiful life.
