AMERICAN BAPTIST. VOL. XXVI. NO. XXI. QUIT KICKING Quit kicking just because you think The old world's going wrong; There's always something somewhere Of happiness and song. Besides, you never made the world; Life's scheme is not your own; Quit kicking: take what heppens, and And just reap what you have sown! Quit kicking. When the play is bad Remember what you've lost Some other fellow's gain, and so In summing up the cost We first that in the end we know What other men have known— Result? We take them as they come— We reap what we have sown. Quit kicking, man, The world's not but; At least, it could be worse. We live and dream; that's worth the while; We ponder them, s and verse; We sing and love; we hate and feel; We laugh; sometimes we weep— So all the pulsing passions are Compassed in the sweep. Of what we are and what we feel— Quit kicking, man! The blame, If, this is whirlingg of Chance And Time you lose the game, Is with the man who whites his life Complaining away. Just laugh, old man; just dream, and love; Just live—and live Today! N. O. Times Democrat. Every Healthy Boy likes to get himself into places of danger. Hence bruise, strains and pains. Mother scords and brings out the bottle of Perry Davis' Pankiller and rubs it on the injured spots with an energy and frequency depending on the seriousness of the case. There is nothing like Pankiller to take out the soreness. There is but one Pankiller, Perry Davis'. Price 25c. and 50c. Appeal from the Legal Bureau. The women of our race, our mothers, wives, sisters and daughters are preparing to go to the meeting of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs at St. Louis, and that they may escape the indignation of the "Jim Crow" cars, are casting about for means whereby they may engage special Pullman cars at an extra charge and expense, and even in the many will be inconvenienced and not a few will be fortunate enough to thus secure the comforts afforded by the Pullman Company, and above all, escape from the "Jim Crow" cars. All honor to those brave women for their foresight, undauntedness, and courage but; what a shame that they are compelled to resort to these means in order to have decent accommodations on a public carrier. "The Women of no other Race will be thus compelled to do." And double deep the shame that their being denied the accommodations, facilities, and privileges furnished and supplied by the Pullman Company to others who apply, is chargable to the neglect of the men of our race. To provide against just this condition, for eight months we have spent some effort to collect funds to test the right of the Pullman Company to refuse such accommodations. All recall the case of Rev. H, T. Johnson, editor of the Christian Recorder, vs. the Pulman Company for refusing him accommodations, facilities and privileges that the company supplies the public. The case was tried before the court and a jury; and the jury returned a verdict for the highest amount the plaintiff could recover. The Hon Kirkpatrick who tried the case set aside the verdict and gave judgment for the company, not understanding the verdict, on the ground that the company had the right to deny persons the accordances of their cars solely because of their color, and there was no law, neither statuary or common, that forbade them denying such right. Steps were at once taken to carry the case to the Supreme Court of the United States. He had taken the grounds that unless the ruling was reversed the company would enforce a rule, at least throughout the border of the Southern states refusing its accommodations to persons of color. The first money for the case was raised at a service held at St. Peter Claver's church (a Catholic church of St. Paul, Minn.) With this printed matter was gotten out setting forth in full the case and purpose to which the money was to be expended. Broadcast the matter was distributed and race papers were urged to publish the appeal for funds, Ministers petitioned to ask contributions of their churches, individuals importuned and associations societies visited and contributions solicited of them, and all were requested to send in the names of persons who might contribute. The receipts have not covered the expenses involved and had it not been for the Afro-American Council taking the money out of its reserve fund the appeal would have had to be abandoned. And even now there is a serious want for funds to prosecute the appeal to final determination. What will the race do? The company is enforcing such a rule. Bishops of our churches, and our women are forced into the "Jim Crow" car there to be subjected to all the indignities common to the coarser classes of both races. Will we now contribute the necessary money? Surely the conditions make the duty urgent and imperative. Longer delay but brings more hindernances and to make success more difficult to obtain. For myself. I still have the faith that a response will be had and so appeal again that those who will, to send what sum they can. A dollar is asked of every one, but credit will be given for any amount. A much less sum would be sufficient if all would contribute, but we must provide against a large number failing. Perhaps I should state, though I think too I should not, some friends of mine and of the race, Catholic Priests, have extended me an invitation to come into their parishes and lecture concerning the race to their parishioners and receive contributions to the fund. My mind is funds should come wholly from the race, but the cause is that of right between man and man, and all men have to do with such a cause. This emphasizes in my mind the thought that the pastors of our churches should do as much. We are glad to furnish all information wanted and quite pleased to receive the names and addresses of persons who are likely to help so good a cause. Respectfully, FREDRICK L. McGHEE. Vice-Director, L. B. N. A. A. C. Union Block, St. Paul, Minn. Why Take Any Chances with some new and untried medicine for such serious troubles as diarrhoea, cramps, dysentery, when you should know that for one half a century Palu-killer has cured millions of cases? Look out for imitations, there is only one genuine, "Perry Davis," THE PHELPS HALL BIBLE TRAINING SCHOOL. Connected with the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute at Tuskegee, Ala., offers exceptional opportunities to young men wishing to prepare for the christian ministry. The chief aim of the instruction is to afford young men and women a comprehensive knowledge of the Ruglish Bible and to implant in their hearts an ambition to dedicate their lives to the elevation and Christianization of their race. Stuurequired to do missionary work in the various churches and Sunday-schools near the institution and report on same each week. The teaching in the Bible school is wholly undemonial, the intention being not to oppose or antagonize any theological work gow being done, but rather to assist all denominations. Phelps hall is three stories high. It contains a chapel, library, reading room, office and three recitation rooms besides forty rooms for dormitory purposes. Rev. Edgar J. Penny is in charge of the work, and is assisted by Rev. B. H. Peterson and Rev. J. H. Gadson. A special course of lectures is given each year in the Bible school by Dr. C. O. Boote, ot Selma, Ala., R.t. Rev. George W. Clinton of, N. C., and Dr H,T Johnson, of Philadelphia. Other notables also lecture from time to time. The teaching is free. The cost of board, including furnished room, light, fuel and laundrying is eight dollars per month. Students are afforded an opportunity to work two o-three dollars of this amount each month. In some cases arrangements can be made to work out the entire sum. Lack of means need debar none. Further information if desired can be secured by addressing BOOKER T.

We reached Gibraltar, this rocked-ribbed fortress on schedule time, March 19th, at 9 a.m. Distance from New York 3,360 miles. We anchored in the harbor and landed in steam tenders. Through British sentinels we entered the city, every passenger receiving a ticket of admission until the first bugle bleu at six o'clock. Wending our way through the motley crowd in the main street, we halted at the Moorish Castle. After registering our names and nationalities, we conducted by a soldier through the first gallery. It is said that this huge rock within it several similar galleries, from two to three miles long, tunneled through the solid rock and batteries built at all advantageous points up to 1350 ft. above the level of the sea. We ascended 800 ft., as far in the first gallery as we were permitted to go. All along we saw numerous cave-like openings from which protruded the black muzzles of cannons, so pointed as to command the "Neutral Ground," the sea and the surrounding country. You'll have some conception of this world's greatest fortification, by imagining a solid rock in the midst of the sea 1,500 ft. above its water level, 3 miles long, one-an-a-half mile wide tunneled from base to summit. terrace-like, threaded with cannon on all sides. There are 5,000 soldiers here, and supplies enough to feed an army of 50,000 for ten years, should an enemy besiege. Mr. Findings, our guide, remarked that if our visit had been two weeks sooner, at time of the annual practice, we would have seen fire flashing from all the cave-like holes of this arsenal rock. He said they had to sleep on their guns, and it was just as if being attacked by an enemy. The fleet attacked the fort by night, and in a moment's time, the entire rock flashed as if it was on fire from top to bottom. The town of Gibraltar lies sheltered on the Northern end. The midway slope from the town almost to the summit, is occupied with white barracks, and residences. The Eastern side is an unbroken mass of inaccessible precipice, save to the eagle, and other birds of the air. The North face of the rock overlooks the sandy isthmus of the "Neutral Ground." To the South, looking toward Africa, a rapid slope extends from a point called "Sugar-Load" to an oval slope platform called "Windmill Hill," below which steep crags into the sea. A continuous line of defensive works stretch along the Western front, and around the South until terminated by inaccessible lights as our good ship passed under this rock, we could but regard it as one immense mass of fortification, which Nature seemed especially to have constructed for the reception of artillery. Batteries frown on its preceptive side, crown its rugged summit, line the water's edge, and project even into the very sea. To complete the picture the harbor throngs with numerous craft; from the stately Man-of-war, to the simplest boat that sails the sea. Gibraltar has no public buildings of architectural importance. It is essentially a garrison town. It has no territory for extending its dimensions. It has a population of 30,000. Its two or three long streets run parallel to the sea, and are intersected by numerous squalid lanes, which ascend the side of the rock by flights of rugged steps, called "Ramps." On reaching the top of these lanes we found still more narrow lanes, parallel to those below, resting on these bare hillsides. It was some sort of holiday, and the people crowded the streets in different costume, some marching others bustling to and fro, Algerian and Morocco merchants, with half-naked legs, slipped feet, shoulders wrapped in a long white barnhouse, and the head covered with turban. Jews, Moors, Spanish, French, English, and a Negro here and there, all in their own peculiar dress, presented a picture, interesting and rare. They looked upon us, and we seemed as strange to many of them, as they were to us. We verify had the laugh on each other. Gibraltar is the gateway to the Orient. By the ancients it was called the "Pillars of Hercules" which marked the limit of the mythical hero's conquest, and formed the supposed boundary of the Western world. Time will not permit us to say more abut the ancient fable. But Gibraltar, as the gateway to the Orient, marks the line between the Atlantic, and the Mediterranean Sea. Here the Straight of Gibraltar which flows between the Rock of Gibraltar on the North and the Rock of Ceuta on the South, is so narrow that it may well be called a gateway. Our steamer passed through this passage at 6 p. m. March 19—entering the Mediterranean turned her course Eastward, toward Africa. We had a strange and reverential feeling on entering these waters, known to the ancients as the "Great Sea." Paul was shipwrecked on its blue bosom, but for us its waters are more pacific than the Atlantic. Our steamer sails gently, as if the sea were oiled. It has been well said that around this great sea, cluster the most important landmarks of the ages. Its waters wash the shores of three continents, touch the countries that have given rise to wonderful nations, people and civilizations. The remaining records of these civilizations mark the footprints of man down the corridors of time, from the remote periods to the active present. The waters convey, us to the home of Pharaoh. They are the gateway to the homeland of Alexander Hannibal, Ceasar, Napoleon, Socrates, Plato, Homer, Demosthenes, Virgil, Livy, Cicero and others of the world's greatest generals, philosophers and poets, and above all, touched by the waters of the historic sea, are the lands of the Bible. The home of David's greatest Son. Our Lord and Master. I shall mail these from Malta where Paul was shipwrecked, we reach there tomorrow the 23rd of March, at 6 a. m. We reached Algiers about 2 o'clock on the 21st, several hours ahead of time. We landed in large tenders, and had a carriage ride of several hours through the town. This city was the famous stronghold of pirates. It is said to contain in concentrated interest the entire life of North Africa. Algiers is a province of North Africa, belonging to France, Algiers is the capital. It is built on a high hill overlooking the sea. It has a mixed population of Moors, Bedouins, Negroes, French, Maltese, Arabs and Turks. Having gone the rounds of the city, we saw in its narrow streets, some of the queerest specimens of humanity, our eyes ever witnessed. The class of Turks, Arabs and Mohammadans I saw, were the flittest looking people I have seen any where. Indeed, the raggadest and dirtiest person in the most equal novel in Louisville, is clean as compared with Arabs in that part of the city known as the Arab quarters. It is said that these people have lived in that section of the city, practically without change in condition for 300 years. The city contains an ancient fortress, said to be 500 ft. above the level of the sea. We visited the mosque and noted with interest beautiful specimens of Moorish architecture. The harbor is well fortified, and town shows thrift and industry. Street electric cars and light, and much of European civilization largely because of French predominance. We called upon the American consul, Mr. Daniel S. Kidder who received us most courteously, and informed us that there were about 90,000 inhabitants in the city. Algiers is the home of the renounced Abdel Kader, of which we hope to say more at another time. We were interested in the ancient relics, especially the cast of Geronimo, who was a martyr to the Christian faith. Having been chained, placed in the wall, and sealed up and in after years, his place of burial was discovered. "The bones of the venerable servant of God, Geronimo who as tradition goes, suffered a cruel death, which was inflicted upon him as a vindication of his faith in Christ, in the fort (called Twenty-four hours), where they were unexpectedly discovered on the 27th of December 1833." Here we must close our notes, hoping to let you hear iron us again from Athens. C. H. PARRISH. UNIVERSITY NOTES. S. U. Rah, rah, rah, rah, S. U. Rah, rah, rah, rah, Hurrah! Hurrah!

We came from our last Convention very much encouraged over our financial success; but we must continue to work to accomplish our undertaking. This work should not be confined to a few, but to the many Baptists of the State of Kentucky. The women are making a double effort; we children want to do likewise. Plan some way that you can get the children interested in the work have the bands meet regularly. We are not only after the amount the children send us for our work, but we want them trained to do religious work that of giving without receiving—as our blessed Master has said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." By the assistance of the Lord we hope to do more this year than we have in any previous year. May peace and prosperity remain with each and every one of you is the prayer of your humble servant.

THE Legal Bureau of the National Afro-American Council has sent a strong appeal for funds to assist in breaking down one of the most objectionable of the discriminations practiced in this country against the race. The appeal states the case in a clear and convincing way and in order that those who are interested may understand the situation we have printed it in full in an other column and ask for it the careful and generous support which the urgency of the case demands. There is nothing to be gained by finding fault with the methods and everything to be gained by joining hands with those who have the matter in charge and push it to a final victory. The Council may not have done as much as has been expected but it has done all it was possible to do under the circumstances with the means at its command and will do more and better Service, if those in whose interest they labor will give the support it needs. No organization in the land can succeed, it matters not who is at its head, if the people withhold the necessary support. Read the appeal carefully and then send a dollar to the Bureau unless you are contented to submit to the injustice mentioned without a protest. Recently a case has come to light in South Carolina showing how easily an innocent colored man may be convicted and imprisoned without attracting any special attention. In this particular case he was arrested and convicted upon perjured testimony and then sent to the penitentiary where he was confined seven years, when a white man who had committed the murder and several others who were witnesses to the deed remained silent and permitted the innocent to suffer. Finally upon his death-bed the white murderer confessed his guilt which being coroborated by these witnesses, the Governor pardoned the Negro. This is a sample of the Justice accorded to Negroes in many cases and only such confessions or eternity will reveal the true condition. It looks very much as if Kentucky would send a number of colored delegates to the Republican National Convention.—The Colored American. Perhaps Kentucky ought to send several colored Republicans to the National Convention, but the hope along that line we fear will not be realized this year. The one reason is that too many of them aspire for delegate at large and too few enter the contest from the districts. At this time only two have announced this year from the districts, while nine have announced from the state-at-large, when it is absolutely certain that only one can be elected. So at most while colored Republicans poll certainly one-forth of the Republican vote of the state, they will only have to or three and more likely two than three of the twenty-six delegates from Kentucky. AMERICAN BAPTIST FRIDAY APRIL 15 1904 ed giving street railway conductors such powers as will enable any company tointroduce "Jim Crow" cars whenever they are so inclined, and it has been announced that such a system will be inaugurated in Richmond. To the credit of every race journal published in that city and to the credit of every leader, be it said that such a rule will be met with a stern refusal to use the street cars, and a declaration to establish "Bus Lines" or walk as long as it is enforced. This is the brave and manly way of meeting the condition and the people of Richmond are to be commended for it. For the second time this year a New ora Institute will be held in this city next week and for reasons which most of the brethren thoroughly understand there should be a large attendance during its sessions. While every one is invited to attend the sessions still much of the success of the meeting depends upon the ministers themselves and they should set the example by attending in large numbers. A splendid array of lecturers and subjects has been provided and the Institute will no doubt prove unusually instructive and beneficial to all who will attend. THE Negroes in Kentucky may be behind in somethings but they are keeping pace with the other states in establishing newspap-rs.

NEWS AND NOTES. The West Virginia Baptist Sunday School Convention will hold its annual Session with the Baptist church, Point Pleasant, April 28th, 20th and 30th. After a long pastorate of the Baptist church at Stanford Ky., Rev. G. W. Bolling has resigned to engage in other work. He preached his farewell sermon last Sunday night. Washington City Republicans are taking as much interest in the matter of electing delegates to the National Republican Convention in Chicago as if they could help elect the Presidential nominee in November. --- Rev. A. H. Ross pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, Lexington Ky, and one of the ablest and most prominent ministers in the state died in that city Sunday, April 3rd, aged 57 years. His funeral was largely attended from the church, Tuesday afternoon, Apr. 5th. Hon. Carl Day the member of the Kentucky Legislature from Breathett County who secured the passage of the bill prohibiting the co-education of the races in this state, died in an infirmary in Lexington last Tuesday morning of inflammatory rheumatism. Both political parties will look to the South for candidates when two political parties are permitted to exist in the South, and when the latter gives itself in every State the full benefit of a free ballot and a fair count. Under present bull-dozing and 'grandfather' methods neither party can look to the South for Presidential candidates. -The Herald. Rev T. II. Broaddus has resign of the care of the church at Berea, Ky. to give his entire time to the First Church, Richmond Ky. Pastor Broaddus is deservedly popular at Berea where he has been pastor since the organization of the church and resigns against the unanimors wish of the members. The New Orleans school board has decided to rebuild the Herman Laforn school which was burned by incendiaries in 1901 during troubles growing out of the Robert Charles race riot. It was named after Lafon, the Negro Philanthropist, who left the money he had to charities for both whites and Negroes and it was the handsomest schoolhouse for Negroes in the South.—The Lancet. Sixty members of the Southern Educational Fund Committee left New York, last Wednesday on a special train composed of Pullman dining, parlor and sleeping cars to make an inspection of educational work in the South before making appropriations for next sessions work. It is announced that they will visit Washington, Hampton, Danville, Petersburg, Richmond, Charlottsville, Charlotte, Wilmington, N. C., Atlanta, Birmingham, Mobile, Nashville and Louisville, and a number of intermediate towns and cities --- At a meeting of the colored Baptist ministers in Boston, last Monday at St. Paul Baptist church resolutions protesting against Negro disfranchisement were adopted. The resolutions also appeal to white clergyman to preach against lynching and disfranchisement and urge the delegates who will be chosen to attend the Republican National Convention at Chicago, to use their efforts to have anti lynching and anti disfranchisement planks placed in the party platform The home and the church should be principally looked to for religi ous instruction and training for they are the natural conservators of the morals of the people; and if they would come up to the measure of their opportunities and responsibilities in this regard, dereliction in schools and colleges would not be so fearful in its consequences. But for most part the church only gets the attention of a majority of the people, and secures that but a part of one day in the week; and that inadequate opportunity is often sacrificed to some fad or hobby. As to home training in reverigious matters, that is largely a lost art—Chris lau Companion NOTES OF LOCAL INTEREST Mr. Riley Meadows has gone to Hamilton O., to remain several months.

MOTTO TEXT.---"Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest."---Luke 10:2. Our Lord is about to set out for the first and last time on a tour through the cities and towns in the Southern part of Galilee. He could give but little time to each place. When he was about to go for the last time through the northern part of Galilee, he had sent his twelve apostles, two by two, to prepare the people for his coming. His time being short, it was of great consequence he should find the minds of the people aroused and their hearts interest. "After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also"—Seventy from among his disciples other than his apostles. There is probably an allusion to the seventy elders of Moses (Num. 11:16.) "And sent them two by two."—An arrangement very kind to those sent among hostile people. They could encourage and strengthen each other. A larger number would have been in each other's way, and would be apt to have different opinions, besides being more of a tax on the hospitality of villagers. "And the harvest truly is great but the laborers are few."--He repeats what he said when he was sending out the twelve Alas! that after these centuries this should still be true, and the laborers so few! Why is this still the case? God's arms is not shortened nor his power exhausted. It is evident his people have not prayed as they ought for the laborers, that some have gone whom God had not sent, and gone in ways which he did not approve. Note our Lord does not say, "Go yourself out of your own accord and persuade others to go," but "Praye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest."—There is danger of forgetting that God is to send laborers and he alone And he sends them in answer to the prayers of his people. Eugene Stocks give a needed warning to Sunday School teachers in his comment on this passage. "In dwelling on the duty of direct missionary work at home, teachers should be very cautious how they speak about children being missionaries to their parents, lest they foster self will, conceit and disregard of the fifth commandment. "Go your ways behold I send you fortu as lambs among wolves."—They were unarmed and defenseless—they were not to resist the authority of their enemies. But their Master bade them not to fear those who could kill the bodies but could do no further harm. Christians should like John Knox, "fear God and nothing else." They must not shrink from going the way their Master has commanded because dangers abound in the way. He is absolute sovereign: nothing can befall them which he has not only foreseen but decreed, and all things which shall happen shall work together for their good.. "Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes."—Scrip means a leather bag or walle' used for carrying provisions. They are to set out just as they are, weak and utterly unprovided. The first characteristic of Christ's messengers is confidence. Jesus who gives them their mission charges himself with the task of defending them and providing for their wants, (Godet.) This command was for the seventy, then; that it was not meant for all christians any more than the com- AMERICAN BAPRIDAY APRIL mand to "heal the sick" is shown by Paul's taking contributions from the church at Philippi for the expense of other cities. But all whom God sends which includes all his people, are not to entangle themselves in the affairs of this life, nor carry with them things not necessary. "Salute no man by the way."—Eastern salutations were long and elaborate. Messengers on important and urgent business did not stop for them. But the seventy were to be courteous, for the were to salute those in whose house they entered. "Peace be to this house."—This was the common salutation among the Jews. "And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it,"—Godet tells us "son of peace" is a Hebrew form of speech. It indicates that peace is present in the heart as a force to control it; and the verse is an illustration of that great truth "unto him that hath shall more be given. Verse. 7. They were not to be going from house to house to be entertained as if they were disatisfied with their first place, or were pleased with being feasted. They were not to be fastidious in their food, but to be content with such food as was given them. No matter how fine their entertainment might be, they must not feel they were receiving charity in receiving it. They were giving far more than they received. As they were going among their brethren, the Jews, there could be no question of uncleanliness in regard to food offered them. "And heal the sick,"—Such miracles would prove the truth of their commission, and by making the sick and their friends grateful, would open their hearts to receive the great message which they brought. "Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you."—Evidently our Lord did not consider men were doing God any favor by listening to the gospel message. Perhaps a little of the stern spirit of this dust, shaking would be an improvement in some modern preaching. Shaking off the dust indicated abhorrence, they were so vile the evangelist would break every bond of connection with them. Yet even then they were to speak a word which ought to lead them to repentance. "But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city," -Sclemn and awful warning. Warning which is as true to day as then of all who refuse to hear the gospel or dispitefully use God's messengers. "In that day" meant the great judgment day of final reckoning. Sodom was the type of depraved wickedness. These words teach great truths; men are held to a strich accountability for their opportunities; gospel hearers shall be most severely punished if they do not heed the message, and there are to be degrees in future punishment. "Woe unto thee Chorazin!"—Nothing is known of this city, nor of the miracles performed there. It is thought to have been near Capernaum. "For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you they had a great while ago repented sitting in sackcloth and ashes."—Those who insist God ought to treat all his creatures alike and who attack Paul for teaching sovereign and unconditional election, must find these words of the Lord very troublesome. They insist God elects those whom he foresaw would repent in the face of his declaration that he choose them "according to the good pleasure of his will." But here the Lord declares he foreknew the Tyriens and Sidonians would repent if they had the opportunities which were granted to others, and yet knowing this, he did not grant it to them. "To understand the wisdom of God in giving the means of grace to those who would not improve them, and denying them to those who would, we must wait till the great day of discovery. (Henry.) "And thou, Capernaum, which are exalted to heaven, shall be thrust down to hell." --Capernaum was specially honored in that our Lord named it his dwelling place.
