AMERICAN BAPTIST. VOL. XXVI, NO. XII. TRUE REST. God sends sometimes a stillness in our life, The bivouse, the sleep, When on the silent battle field the strife Is hushed in slumber deep; When weared hearts exhausted sink to rest, Remembering not the struagle nor the quest. He giveth rest more perfect, pure and true. While he his burdens bear; It spingeth not from parted pain, but through The accepted blessing there, The lesson pondered o'er with thoughtful eyes. The faith that sees in all a meaning wise. Deep in the heart of pain God's hand hath set A hidden'ree' and bliss. Take as his 'gift' the pain, the gift brings yet A truer happiness, God's voice speaks through it all the highest behest That bids his people enter into rest. There Are Some Remedies indispensable in any family. Among these, the experience of years as ures us, should be recorded Pankiller. For both internal and external applications we have found it of great value; especially can we recommend it for solids, cheumatism, or fresh wounds and bruises.-Christian Kra.

In the month Feb. for several years Rambler has found pleasure and profit in attending the Farmers Conference an the Workers Conference at Tuskegee for investigation and information as well as recreation. This year he left Louisville on the evering of Feb. the Libb in company with our congenial friend Prof. J. H. Garvin of Winchester Ky. who was our companion during the journey and during the stay at Tuskegee. Our train was a little late renching Montgomery the next morning and our stay was out a little short but that time was put to good use. Rambler found the Baptist ministers assembled for their weekly meeting at the Dexter Avenue Baptist church and had the pleasure of greeting Revs. W. W. Colley, C. M. Wells and others. After exchanging a few words with them and introducing our friends we visited the state capital, which was also the first capital of the late confederacy. This is always an interesting place to a visitor and our friends enjoyed the visit. Returning to the station Rambler found a number of friends and the car filled with visitors en route to Tuskegee. The ride to Chewah was full of interest as the friends always find much to talk about who are going this way for the first time. On reaching Chewah we found the station had been burned and things looked lonesome, but we were soon huddled in the little train for Tuskegee, five miles away, which was reached in a few minutes. The train now goes right up into the Institute campus instead of stopping a mile from the grounds, which is much more convenient for the visitors. Ramblers first duty was to see that his friend Garvin was comfortably placed and then to see friends. Of course we met with a cordial reception at our Kentucky home the residence of Prof. and Mrs. H. K. Thomas, where we are always welcome. In addition to Marie and Dorothy we were greeted this year by little Julia Webb the latest addition to that happy family and it is a genuine pleasure to spend a few days in that model home. Rambler spent the afternoon calling upon friends in the community and took dinner with Pr. f. and Mrs. Looker T. Washington and a number of their guests. In the evening following a custom observed since the Conference was inaugurated a preliminary meeting was held in the chapel where a great crowd of students and friends assembled to listen to inspiring music and spread addresses, Dr. Washington provided and the speakers were President C. F. M. serve of Shaw University, Prof. K. H. Webster, of Atlanta University, Prof. P. W. Dawkins, of S. C., and W. H. Steward, Esq., of Kentucky. The addresses were all BOX ICA NTS & PUB LOUISVILL listened to with deep and they were pointed and spiety: Wednesday morning the early hours were spent in visiting the different departments of this great institution, and meeting frends who had come in during the night. The opening session of the Farmer's Conference was held in the chapel and Rambler was delighted with what he saw and heard. As the detailed report has appeared in many papers and the declarations published in your columns there will be little need to give an extended notice here. No person interested in the progress of the race could listen to the unique and thoroughly original reports and addresses without gathering inspiration and a source of hopefulness for time and for eternity. The Conference continued in session until its work was completed and it adjourned to the campus where an old fashioned harbecue was served to the hungry multitude. Every one was filled and still there was enough for many more. This is a feature of the Conference and it is no easy matter to prepare for so many and see that they are served promptly and without friction. This part of the Conference is rather of a social character for it not only allows the opportunity to satisfy the inner man but an opportunity for personal heart to heart talks about the important questions which are uppermost in nearly every mind. In the evening another popular meeting was held in the chapel, in which students and visitors participated. Short talks were made by: Hon. I. T. Montgomery, of Mound Bayon, Miss. Bishop Isaac Lane, of the C, M. E. church, President Geo. Sale, of Atlanta Baptist College, Rev H. T. Johnson D. D., Editor of the Christian Recorder and Rev. R. T. Brown, Editor of the Christian Index. These talks were all interesting, enjoyable and encouraging and they reflected much of the spirit of the occasion. The exercises were interspersed with some excellent singing by the big choir. The visitors seemed most to enjoy the Jubilee songs but Rambler felt very much like throwing up his hat and hurrying when he heard the strains of "My old Kentucky Home" and the old tune sung by choir and congregation. He was about to take this as a personal compliment to himself when he chanced to remember that Prof. Garvin was from Kentucky and perhaps 25 or 30 students are enrolled from the Corn-oracker State. Thursday was the Workers Conference and was a very profitable meeting of earnest workers. As remarkable as were many of the experiences reported in the Farmers Conference some equally remarkable were to d. in the Workers Conference in discussing the work of students after leaving school. The results were very satisfactory and refuted successfully the idea that educating the Ngro was a mistake in any way. The Conference adjourned about 2 o'clock and there was a rush for dinner and the train. Rambler dined at the oosy home of Mr. and Mrs. Emmett J. Scott with Miss Susie B. Thomas and it was an interesting event. A homelike dinner served by a homelike hostess in a homelike way made it doubly enjoyable. All the little Scott's except the twins were in the party and it in more ways than one added zest and merriment to the dinner hour. Just after Rambler had bid the Thomas family adieu and started for the train he learned that Prof. Chas. F. Sueed of Kokstein Norton University had just reached Tuskegee after all the fun was over Delayed trains had made him late but he evened up matters by remaining several days to see the sights. Our train returning was crowded again but it was a happy and congenial crowd and the time went meridly on until Montgomery was reached. Prof. Garvin had to return by way of Opelika, his ticket was routed way and Rambler had the pleasure of being in the company of Pev. W. R. Pettiford, D. D., President of the Penny Savings Bank, Birmingham, Ala. It sometimes brings relief when you are moneyless to be in close touch with one who has the control of much flithy lucre and that was Rambler's good fortune returning homeward. Rambler left Tuskeges with the intention of spending Friday at the New Era Institute in Bowling Green but when he awoke that morning and found he earh covered with snow and the thermometer going downward, he almost changed his mind. But he ventured to stop and was hospitably received by Rev. and Mrs. H. D. Carpenter and the children. The day was spent at the Institute and in visiting friends. Heme was reached early Saturday morning but the contrast in the weather was so great that Rambler almost wished that he was 'way down in Dixie' where the 'sun shines on both sides of the street' nearly all the year. RAMBLER. --- LOUISVILLE, KY., FI CONVICTION AND CONVERSION. The plain teaching of the Bible, from beginning to end, is that we are sinners, and that we need salvation from the guilt and delilement of sin. Christ came into the world to save sinners. Those who realize that they are sinners, and who apprehend the awful nature of sin will be ready to accept Christ as their Saviour as he is offered to them. To those who are satisfied with themselves Christ is not attractive and precious. The story of the gospel falls united on their ears, and his grace strikes no responsive tenderness or faith in their hearts. In order to an appreciation of Christ their must be a sense of need of his salvation. The awakened or convicted sinner is in the condition in which he is most apt to accept Christ and become saved. T.ose who realize that they are sick are anxious for the assistance that the physician can render. They who know that they are sinful and guilty and lost and ruined are ready to reach up the hand and voice of faith and welcome Christ as he offers to be their Savior. John the Baptist preached repentance and prepared the way for the coming of Christ, and there must be the preaching of the same truths to-day if we would see Christ come savingly to human hearts. The greatest revivalists have labored to show people that they were sinners, and then they have pointed to the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. Christ spoke the plainest words that were ever uttered as to the wickedness and the ill deserts of sin. His prophets and apostles, under the inspiring guidance of the Holy Spirits, spoke in thunder tones against sin. Ancient and modern evangelists have not shunned to declare the counsel of God on this point. One of the most tremendous sermons ever preached was the one by Johnathan Edwards on the "sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." Finney and Payson and Moody and Spurgeon have spoken as plainly as the lightnings of Mt. Sian on the fact that men are sinners. Newman Hall, whose "Come to Jesus" has been so widely read, based his entreaties on the fact that Jesus is the only possible Savior of lost and ruined sinners. A successful teacher of theology insisted, in his instructions, that preachers should preach so that men would be convicted of sin. When once they come to realize their lost condition, they will be ready to be saved. It is wise to preach what the Scriptures teach as to Heil and the final and eternal portion of the persistently unrepentant. It is not wise to assume to be better than God and leave the things ushsaid that are calculated to turn men away from sin to God. The great revivalist, Mr. Nettleton once requested a young woman who was indifferent to the whole matter of religion, to make the prayer, "Lord show me myself," every day until he he should see her again. She kept her promise, and she came to see herself as a lost and ruined sinner: When next Mr. Nettleton saw her some weeks afterwards, she was in dee conviction seeking to know the way of salvation. Again he left with her a prayer, this time, "Lord show me thyself." She came to see Christ as the one who died for her that she might be saved, and she trustfully and lovingly accepted him. The great fact that underlies all successful gospel work is that Jesus Christ died to save sinners. When human hearts are made to realize their sinfulness, they are ready, as they could not be before, to accept the Savior,—Herald and Presbyter. We Are All Familiar with the deep, hoarse bark, grinily called "a grave-yard cough." It is the cry of the tortured lungs for mercy. Give them mercy in the form of Allen's Lung Balsam, a remedy for pulmonary trouble, so highly esteemed that it is recommended even in the early stages of consumption. In the later stages mortal skill is unavailing. Nobody can afford to neglect a cold. Appeal for State Mission Work Special notice of the near approach of the end of the First Quarter, March 31st 1904. Urgent appeal for contributions for the support of State mission work, in Kentucky. This is to any and all friends to Christian Missionary work. While it maybe sent especially to pastors, churches, superintendents, Sunday Schools, B. Y. P. U. societies, or any other organization that is interested in the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ, it is also an appeal to individuals as well. We do not attempt to say or suggest how much say shall give; but that all should give something to and for this great work, "For how can they hear without a preacher? and how can they preach except they be sent?" To say that we need means to carry on the work is putting it in the midst possible form. We trust that the work, as it is being done, is giving satisfaction to all concerned, which is as follows: Rev. Gao, W. Hampton, district missionary, is giving his entire time to active missionary work. Rev. R. B. Butler, district missionary, is holding New York institutes and doing field work combine, as per plan of co-operation of the Boards. Rev. P. H. Kennedy, general missionary, is also doing institute work in addition to supervising the State work in general. We hope you may see your way clear to lend a helping hand in this quarter's contributions. While it is true that we cannot make touching appeals for State or home missions, as can and are made for foreign missions, the fact remains, that the needs of the home field are just as deserving of support, for the missionary spirit abroad must needs of the emulate from the missionary spirit at home. "Water cannot rise above its level." We will have to depend almost wholly upon contributions for money to pay the salaries of the missionaries this quarter, and we are depending upon you to help us out. We ask not that you do what you say you want to do, but we insist that you do what you can do. Read this circular yourself and to others, and talk to your pastor and the brethren about it and the work. Read 2 Cor. 8 7—The last clause—the grace of giving. One might with profit read the whole chapter. We ask an abiding interest in your prayers for the success of the work. Please send contributions to Rev. P. H. Kennedy, 927 Clay Street, Henderson, Ky.

If Baptist principles are to be dissiminated among the people in heathen lands, if the work already begun is to be successfully carried on, and the lives our dear missionaries are to be preserved, we must act now and set altogether. If it were possible, I would address a personal letter to every Baptist Pastor in the United States with the hope of inducing him to set aside every other matter, and help to make the first Sunday in April, the greatest missionary day, ever recorded by the Baptist in this country. But, as I cannot do that, I am praying as I write this appeal, that it will go from one to another, until every one has heard the call and will resolve to make the day one of prayer and sacrifice, for the extension of the Master's kingdom over all the world.

I started in 1888 with $86. bought eggs at 8 to 10 cents in summer, preserved and sold them in winter at 28 and 30 cents a dozen, I preserved eggs 12 years and made $30,000. My niece started in 1904 with $10, which she re-invested each year, with the profits, and now she has $16,346, all made from $10, re-invested in eight years. You can buy eggs from 8 to 10 cents and sell from 25 to 30 figure the profits yourself To preserve them cost a cent a dozen.

FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1904 THE measure to prevent the coeducation of the races in this State has become a law and Berea College the only Institution in Kentucky effected by the law, will have to meet a most serious problem. It seems a little strange that after this Institution has existed a half century and done such a noble work, that it should be crippled by legislation based entirely upon race prejudice. The attendance at that Institution has always been entirely voluntary and as it is supported entirely by private contributions and is in no way under State control, there could be no reason at this late day for such Legislation except upon the basis of the clamor for entire separation of the races. So eager were the advocates of the measure for it to become a law that they would not even allow the trustees of the institution a reasonable time to arrange the affairs of the institution for the changed conditions. The present legislature which it was claimed represented more progress and intelligence than any of its predecessors has passed more class legislation than the legislatures which met in the days of slavery and allowed Berea College to exist and do the work for which it was founded. Ir is strikingly strange that all the announcements concerning delegates-at-large to the National Republican Convention appearing in the daily papers have studiously avoided any reference to the prominent Negro Republicans who have been named for that position. This has been interpreted to mean that it is the determination of the party leaders in this State to send fewer white Republicans to Chicago instead of following the usual custom of sending three white and one Negro Republican. There can be no question as to the propriety of following the usual custom and we are certain it will work to the future injury of the party if any change is made that will eliminate the Negro Republicans from the delegation. We are slow about drawing the color line in the party but when the color line is drawn against us, it must be met in the same spirit or the slight recognition awarded Negro Republicans will be curtailed. THERE has been a good deal said lately about the matter of co-operation in denominational work, all of which indicates that there is a growing sentiment in favor of the movement. Last September the preliminary steps were taken looking toward co operation and conferences were actually held and suggestions made as to future meetings. The hopes of the ardent supporters of the movement have not been realized thus far and those whose business it is to call another conference have not seen the necessity for prompt action in the matter. There is no reason why some kind of work should not be jointly done between the National Baptist Convention and the Ameri AMERICAN BAPTIST FRIDAY MARCH 18, 1904 can Publication Society, and our other great denominational organizations that would result in permanent and lasting good to all concerned. WHEREVER in one section of the country or the other, lynching is wrong and everywhere threatens to destroy the fundamental principles of good government and deserves the severest condemnation. The lynching in Springfield, Ohio., last week was no exception to the rule and displayed the usual depravity, brutality and bitterness not only against the victim of the crime, but against members of the race who had nothing in the world to do with the violation of the law. They were made innocent sufferers simply because of their color and nothing else. True the militia was promptly called out to suppress the mob, but it does seem had the necessary precaution been taken and the necessary courage and bravery shown in the beginning, the terrible outbreak against law and order could have been averted. Spring field, has always shown a friendly interest in the race and aided in its progress, and it is both inspiring and deplorable that an thing should have happened to be disturbed or changed these conditions. The good law which Hon. H. C. Smith, had passed to allow dam ages to the heirs of the person lynched is good as far as it goes, but something better is needed to prevent mob violence, even in Ohio. WHILE the Odd Fellow Journal as published in the interest of that Order, there would be no more im propriety in that paper discussing racial questions or questions effecting the race than it would be in any of our denominational journals discussing the same questions, because they are published in the interest of a denomination. As Negroes all our editors are interest ed in racial questions as are our readers and it is a view entirely too narrow to find fault with Bro. Asbury, because he discusses questions other than those of interest alone to Odd Fellows. The journal has done the race great service and its influence ought not to be restricted simply because it has struck some of our contemporaries in a tender spot. Lecture by Prof. W. E. B. DüBois at Quinn Chapel, Last Monday evening Quinn Chapel was crowded by an appreciative audience to hear the splendid lecture of Dr. W. E.

RESIDENCE—1527 PRENTICE ST. afternoon by the Knight Templats, Parham Lodge of Masons, St John Lodge of Odd Fellows and a host of friends. Rev. D. A. Gaddie, D.

The First Battallion Band Headquarters 50° Columbia Ave. (rear E. Ken'ucky st.) was organized Sept. 4th 1902. It started with sixty members with the hope of getting forty five good ones, but out of that number only managed to get thirty five good musicians. After two years progress in street parades and concerts in parks, they can now say with pride, they have thirty-five good musicians prepared and fitted to play for any engagement in band lines. When they started they had not a cent with which to pay rent; the members (some fatless some motherless) donated their mites and bought at first cheap uniforms and began work. Through the shredd management of their leader, S. Grigsby, they have come to the front as a first class band, with their nice uniforms, instruments and hall and everything to make it attractive. Their music is melodious; their services are reasonable and will appreciate your future favors. MEMBER. MEMBER. Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. e preys upon the mind, dis- sens ambition: beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid- neys are out of order or diseased. MARIE CÉRÉA Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, if the rine scalds the flesh or it, when the childaches an age when it should be able to control the passage it is afflicted with, wetting, cloaked upon it, the cause of a difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first esp should be towards the treatment of ese important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis- ter with kidney and bladder trouble, the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold oy druggists, in fifty- cent and one dollar sizes.
