B Saug at the Afro-American Council at St. Louis, Sept. 6th 1904 Great God of Nations, we have met to offer Thee Our chant of praise! Of mercy past we sing.

Lord God of truth and grace, up this despised race Their motive foes to face, And never fall While in the sunny home, Under its soothing sun. Be Thou our stay. Then with an upward stride, With love for racial pride, Continuously glide, Now and alway. May thy with grace abound Wherever our race is found, The wide world o'er. Then may our love to Thee Warm and continuous be With Christian loyalty Loving Thee more.

A paper read by Miss Jennie L. Perdue, of Franklin, Ky., at the second parental anniversary of the Rockfield Baptist church. "Worryy Master of Ceremonies, citizens and members of the first Baptist church Rockfield. Ky. Gentlemen, ladies and friends we have all met here to-day to celebrate the second year's pastorate of Rev, W. C. Allen. I am glad to have a voice in this meeting; not that I may say so much but that I may have the added honor of placing a laurel upon the brow of my pastor also. The Alpha Baptist church of Franklin, Ky., of which I have been a member from my childhood has asked me to represent them at your meeting on this occasion. Who is able to do justice to this occasion? Who can with words and sentences paint, not what but half what Rev. Allen has been to us these years? I shall not exaggerate but in a brief way hope to state some plain facts which anyone is at liberty to investigate. Seven years ago the 16th of last May we became pastor and people. The spiritual status of the church at that time was dormant, the rocai dead and the financial condition bad. Over $250.40 was the obligation standing against the church. We were then worshipping in an old dislipidated frame church house; discussions and petty jealousy had grown to such proportion that it seemed in possible to get the church united. The impossible with man is the possible with god. And when God makes a minister the overser of a church it is a guarantee that success shall attend that minister's way. A few plain gospel sermons such as you have been hearing these two years soon inspired the church to brighter faith and nobl efforts. New zeal and fresh courage were infused by this matchless preacher. The church was united and the financial affairs of the church went up by bounds. The first year closed with eight baptiz d into the church and $385.00 raised in money The third year closed with $1856.00 raised and the church worshipping in her new brick building all completed. A work that the adverse critics said was impossible to be done. At the close of seven years we had raised over $6,000.00, the church paid for all incl. --- dental and past 14 st. House uses met and the church in harm in preaches a gospel of peace, and three years we have had more peace and nappiness in church work than in all the history of our church. He believes in righteousness in the church, in the home and wherever one may be. Temperance is a theme upon which our pastor dwelle; economy is what he practices and in this he is Franklin's great example. He is the counselor of every parent in our church. Our mothers and fathers are perfectly contented when they know that their boy or girl is with brother Allen. Really we are always listening for some admonition from him. We all fear him because he never bites his tongue in denying wrong conduct. The people of our church have a higher regard for character since new. Allen has been our shepherd. We are looking more for quality than quantity. The elder is an example: first in his religious practices; second in his honest dealings as a citizen. His word is his bond and no one doubts the integrity of our pastor. In his character as a Christian gentlemen we esteem him as above reproach. He is our friend, and always stands ready to help. He has a piece of money to give to the sick and to one in need and asks to borrow he never turns away empty. To the Alpha church he stands in her love and confidence above all her former pastors, having served longer than any of his predecessors. He is a ripe scholar, and a protound, eloquent and logical preacher. We love him because he lives the gospel he so ably preaches to us. Then so Franklin these seven years he has been a standard for the people. A true pattern of Christian manhood. His wife, Mrs. L. A. Allen, is all that the Bible says a ministers wife should be. A chaste housekeeper and a model woman. A teacher of the first rank is the position she holds in our city. And above all she is a friend of all who seem to have a desire to do right. They two are our heirs and advisors; and indeed they have been true to the charge given them by the Great Shepherd of the sheep. "And when the Chief Shepherd shall appear ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away." On behalf of our church I congratulate you on this your second anniversary. May your love and sense of duty and honor, ever increase toward your and our pastor and may all our lives be shaped by the glorious gospel that he briefly presches, and our souls prepared for that great beyond and unknown to which we are all hartening. The Lord grant you success in the future is my earnest prayer and the earnest desire of our church. Phelps Hall Bible Training School Connected with the Tuskegee Instituted, Tuskegee, Aia., offers exceptional opportunities to young men wishing to prepare for the Christian ministry. The chief aims of the Bible Training School are to give young cored men and women a comprehensive knowledge of the entire English Bible, and to implant into their hearts the noble ambition to dedicate their lives to the elevation and Christianization of their people. The students are required to do missionary work in the various churches and Sunday School near the Institution, and in this has been very helpful the neighbor, communities. The teaching of the Bible School is wholly undenominational, the intention being not to oppose or antagonize any theological work now being done, but rather to assist all denominations. Phelps Hall, the building in which the school is taught, was given by a generous New ork friend. It is a frame structure three stories high, containing a chapel, library, reading room and the office of the Dean, with three recitation rooms; beside forty rooms for dormitory purposes. Rev. Edgar J. Penney is the Dean. He is assisted by Rev. E. P. Johnson and Rev. J. H. Gadsen. Rt. Rev. Geo. W. Clinton, of Charlotte, N. C., and Dr. T. Johnson, of Philadelphia, Pa. deliver a regular course of lectures during the term. Rev. Moses Jackson, of the Presbyterian church, Chicago, delivered a special course of lectures during the past term. The teaching is free. The cost of board including, furnished room, lights, fuel, washing, etc., is $8.50 per month. Students will be given an opportunity to work out from $1.50 to $8.00 of this amount, this leaving only $5.50 to $7.00 to be paid in cash. In some cases arrangements may be made so that students may work out the whole amount. Lack of means need debar none. For further information address, Booker T.

The 7th annual session of the National Afro-American Council, in St. Louis Mo., last week, was a large and successful meeting. The opening session was held in the Central Baptist course Tuesday, Sept. 6th, at noon, and was called to order by W. H. Steward of Kentucky, acting President. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Capt. C. H. Candy, Attorney W. M. Farm, Rev. D. P. Roberts, and Prot. Peter H. Clark. Responses in behalf of the Council were made by Col. James Lewis, of Louisiana, and Mr. J. W. Thompson, of New York. A committee consisting of M. Sas, J. Madison Vance, of Louisiana; C. W. Katt, of Arkansas; J. W. Thompson, New York; F. F. Scott, of Missouri; J. Q. Adams, of Minnesota; Geo. L. Knox, of Indiana; and E. E. Underwood, of Kentucky was appointed on Credentials. The report of treasurer, J. W. Thompson, showed that $686.13 had been collected during the year and $610.05 disbursed, leaving a balance of $76.08. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Wm. H. Steward, Kentucky; vice presidents John Q. Adams, Minnesota; Col. James Lewis of La.; Walter M. Farmer, of Missouri; J. T. Suttle, of Tennessee; T. B. Morton, California; J. D.

Lewey, Florida; vital statistics, Dr. D. W. Scott, Missouri. The reports of the several bureaus showed a decided increase in the work of the Council. The public meetings at St. Paul A. M. E. church on Tuesday evening and at Music Hall on Wednesday evening called out immense crowds of people and were addressed by Col. James Lewis, Hon. Nelson Crews, Mr. G. L. Knox,ishop J. S. Caldwell, Mr. Wm. Pickens, Hon. J. T. Settle, and Bishop Evans Tyree. These addresses aroused considerable enthusiasm. The address to the country was reported and mannually adopted at the closing session Thursday as follows:— ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY. We the representatives of more than 10,000,000 of colored people, feel that we have a cause that ought to have a fair and impartial hearing at the bar of public opinion. We are citizens of this country not from choice or by adoption but by nativity and as much a part of our composite nationality as any other element it contains. We have always been loyal in time of our greatest national strife. We have never been numbered with the enemies of our country but have always been found on the side of law and order. We have never been numbered with the anarchists, socialists or communists, who threaten the peace and prosperity of our common country, but have always been ready and more than willing to discharge our duty as citizens in each and every walk of life. We therefore appeal to all patriotic and fair-minded citizens of all creeds and nationalities to give our cause a fair unprejudiced and patient hearing, and render us that justice which we merit at the hands of the American people. Do this and we do not fear the results. That we are unalterably opposed to the inhuman and indiscriminate system of depriving citizens of our country of life and liberty without due process of law, and to the end that the same be discontinued, we ask the people of the United States, the pulpit and the press, the state and national legislatures, to encourage crystalization of such a public sentiment and the enactment of such laws as will absolutely prohibit the perpetration of these outrages that blacken every page of the history of this country's civilization and places us in bad repute at home and abroad. CONDEMN CRIME. We wish the American people to un FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 1904 derstand that we join hands with the best people of the country in emphasizing our condemnation of any crime against the womanhood of the land and have no sympathy for any wretch who commits such a crime; our appeal is in the interest of society generally when we ask that the mob be subordinate to the law. In the South, because of intolerance and race prejudice, a great many of its peaceful and law-abiding citizens are denied their civil and suffrage rights solely upon the ground of their color. Mean, proscriptive and humiliating legislation is continually being made a part of the statutory laws. Discrimination against the Afro-American is running riot. In the face of the organic law of the nation, and in bitter opposition to the enforcement of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, to which all of these states have pledged allegiance; written in the constitution by the blood of thousands of our countrymen and the expenditure of billions of treasure, in the face of the righteousness of a just cause and by the power of night, almost an entire race in one portion of our country is deended of every right by unjust laws of disfellowship. RACE PREIUDICE. We view with alarm the rapid spread of race prejudice in this country. For a number of years an active and aggressive campaign has been waged, which seeks to arouse a spirit of race hatred in all sections of this land. Whatever may be the motive actuating those engaged in this unholy work, we wish to show our countrymen that we are the innocent victims of an unjust and an unmerited attack. As a race, we have striven earnestly and patiently to enter into harmonious relations with the life and activities of the nation; to prove our loyalty and devotion to the country we love, and to impress this nation with our sincere desire to be identified with its prosperity and to even share its failures, if failures must come. It should not, therefore, be a matter of surprise when we raise our voices against treatment that is so unwarranted. It is as essentially true of a nation as of an individual that true greatness and enduring success rest upon righteousness. No one can wrong his brother without injuring himself, and a community in which the moral sentiment of the people is not strong enough to restrain organized lawlessness is in danger of being engulfed. It is safer to teach patriotism than to encourage anarchy. It is better to inspire a people with hope and an ambition to become all God has created them capable of becoming than to fill them with despair. Here in this great city are assembled the nations of the earth. The various races of men are coming in contact with each other. They are broadening their sympathies. This spirit is good will as shown by the kindly attention bestowed upon the Fulipinos and saked crocates and other dark races at the World's Fair. The only people that are not brought within the bond of human sympathy and good will are the Afro-Americans; refinement and culture count for naught when the individual has African blood in his veins. Many of the Afro-Americans are stockholders in the great Louisiana Purchas Exposition, yet they are refused at many of the public places of accommodation. We wish to declare that the cry of social equality made by those who seek our humiliation is without the least foundation, and those who make this argument know that it is a mere subterfuge. These injustices should be checked. This can be accomplished only by a quickened public sentiment. APPEAL TO MINISTRY. We therefore call upon the Christian ministry everywhere to lift up their voices against this growing evil; we ask the friends of humanity to give their assistance to this great work. We impore the press of the country to stop magnifying our vices and say something of our virtues. We call upon every Afro-American man and woman in this broad land to teach their childrens moral rectitude and the practice of thrift and economy. Let us inspire respect for the law and condemn those of our race whose lawless conduct and vicious tendencies bring shame and humiliation to the Afro-American people. We now place the case o the Afro-American in equity before the American people and ask only for a fair and impartial verdict. Wm. H.

This convention has now been in operation for twenty two years and during these years it has done a marvelous work. It is now raising a fund to erect a new dormitory at £tate University which is one of the greatest needs of that institution The convention has been meeting with unprecedented encouragement in this special movement and it ex- pects to raise a sufficient sum at this meeting, which with what they have already on hand will enable the work to begin at an early day. This promises to be the best ses- sion in the history of the conven tion and it is earnestly requested that every Society in the State will not only send an enlarged contri- bution but will also senda delegate to the Lexington meeting. Ar- rangements have been made for re- Wuced rates upon the certificate plan for all who may attend and this should assist in the movement to secure a very large attendance Let every good Baptist lend a help- ing hand and make this not only a large but a very successtul meeting. Tue refined cultured, versatile and courageous editor of the Torchlight, with all his learning bas not learned that abuse and billingsgate is not argument. in- deed he seem to be more in his el- ement when he 1s abusing his brethren thanat any other time Last week he devoted over a col- umn to abusing the editor of this paper without attempting to ex. plain the matter mentioned. Fort. unate for we are known to the de nomination and the stricture of the Torchlight dous no harm. Indeet the course and uncouth language rather lowers the standard of the gospel messenger, such for instance as “‘premeditated falsehood” -‘de- ception,” “‘hishonesty.” ““crimmal ignorance.” “cowardly, deceptive and dishonest statements.’ Again in the same paper referring to an- other brother he uses such strong language as ‘blackguards” anc “‘slanderers.” This sample lan- guage is enough to satisfy the m>s' fenerous of the character of the reading matter which the editor o! the Torchlight Surnishes his read. ers every week and if they are willing to pay for this kind of mat: ter no one ought to complain. Tue letter of acceptance of the Republican nomination of the pres- idency of Theodore Roosevelt was issued this week and while it is very lengthy document, it is still one of th. most convincing and comprehensive discussion of the public questions of the day that he has ever penned. The letter is a mrong defense of the present ad- ministration and puts the Dem erat party upon the defensive uj many of the issues of the day dnd challanges its candidates to themselves upon record as to their ‘position, The utterances, which perhaps, is the most assuring to colored voters is where he declares that the policy of the administra- tion as besed upon the principle of the Declaration of Independence and affirms that ‘‘It treats all men, rich or poor, whatever their creed, color or their birthplace, as_stand- ing equal before the law.” ‘This sentiment is fundamental and is in itself a platform upon which all men who love equity and justice may consistently and firmly stand. Tue great meat strike which was instituted several weeks ago has end ed and aside from the loss of mil- lions of dollars to the business world and to the strikers as well, nothing has been gained. Really the strikers have lost ground and have returned to work without the union being recognized or benefit- ted. The strike resulted from fniany oluks ofi view eo the iaterse of the race, for many colored men have been appointed to positions from which they have been exclud- ed by the unions and the packers announce that no one will now be discharged to make place tor the union men. Perhaps it may be a valuable lesson to all concerned and other and better methods may be found by which the differences be- tween capitol and labor will ve ad justed. | Wuie the Democratic press is making a big to do about the plank in the Republican platform, sug- gesting the reduction of the repre- sentation in the Southern states as a remedy for disfranchising voters and vioiating the constitutional amendments, still the voters most concerned seem to be littie con- cerned about the significance of this particular plank. Indeed the col- ored press seem not to be any too well pleased with the declaration as it rather places the sanction of ap- proval upon the method adopted to disfranchise voters because of race and color and a willingness to ac- cept the disfranchisement provid- ing the representation is reduced. —_ THE LAST APPEAL or LITTLE FLOCK CHURCH.

First: ‘The Needs of this the Third Quarter.” We have three missionaries on the field whose sal- aries must be paid, as also their traveling and other expenses. We reassure you that they are faithful ministers of the gospel of our Lord and Master, who are willing to spend and be spent for and in his cause, and that they deserve your support and your moral influence in the great work of missions. Second: ‘‘Our Church Edifice Work.” To be plain, weare doing ‘next to ncthing in this class of work. It use to be that we could collect nioney for poor churches anywhere and fromvany person, but now with the most urgent appeals, and the most prayerful pleas, though they be and sent out by your Board giv- ing to you the names of the church- es condition of fields and their sor rounding in general. It is so now that personal appeals cannot be successfully made for poor churches even in the associations. In many instances, if we appeal to church or association, or individual for mission they say we are doing edu- cational work, if theappeal is made for education, they say we are do. ing missionary work. And others run from church debt to pastor debt and pastor debt to church. What shell wedo? What can we do? What is to become of the de- nomination? We have poor church- es in most every condition namable some have noground, some have no house, some are in the courts, some are in the hands of other de- nominations, and some have nc pastor and therefore they have ne preaching. Now this is the condi- tion of affairs that confronts your Board, and they are before us now. Missionaries calling tor their sala ries, and poor churches from many parts of the state begging for help. We want to try a little different plan of notification this quarter, and thus releave the pastors of some of the responsibility by pub- Lshing the appeal in the den-»mina- tional papers, and in any paper that will kindly take the matter up. By this means we hope to be able to put the appeal and information into the hands of tne laiety and friends of the work as well as in that of pastors, Weask that you say as to how you want the money used for mission or for church edifice work, but please don’t say for what church or field you want the money used. Leave that matter with the Board. May we in all kindness ask, that the moderators, other officers and members of the boards take the lead in these contributions and will all the pastors and leaders of the denomination lend a helping hand: We close this appeal by asking God's blessing upon both the work and the workers. The board will expect that the missionaries wil vee to it tht the pastors and people of their district are well informec as to this appeal and the cause it advocates. Said appeal is tc ‘Sunday Schools and other Baptist organization. Said contributior to be sent to Rev. P. H. Kennedy, D. D., 927 Clay Street. Hendersox Ky. By order of the Executive Board. C. H.

Johnson, of Eutala, Ala., was called home on account of the serious illness of her father. Rev. G. M. Moore and daughter, Miss Augusta, were pleasant visitors on Monday. Their words were encouraging. Rev. W. J. M. Price, of Maysville, Ky., came to put one of his members in school His words and presence were encouraging—Bro. Price knows the value of an education, and every year brings one or more students. If all pastors would take this interest in their young people. What a grand school we would have. Prof. Chas. Steele, of Georgetown, is well represented here this year through the well prepared graduates of his school who have matriculated. The pains-taking teacher is reflected in the pai s-taking student. Prof. R. B, Hudson, A. B, principal of the public school in Selma, Ala., paid Dr. Purce and family a few hours visit on his way home from Indianapolis, Ind. Mr. W. H. Steward, Chairman of our Board Trustees, was elected President of the Afro American Council, which met in St. Louis last week.

To the pastors, Sunday School superintendents and the Baptist women of Kentucky: Dear Brethren and sisters:—We have started our summer campaign in the interest of our Conventional work, and as usual I address you this annual letter. We wish to express our gratitude to our Heavenly Father for the gracious manner in which he has so long led and comforted us through difficulties, both seen and unseen. For twenty-one years His hand as guided us, and too well do we remember that glorious meeting held last October in Alpha Baptist church, Franklin, Ky., how the Lord met me in the way and poured out His blessings upon us, so that our cups ran over and were made to exclaim "The Lord hath done great things for us!" We are looking with the eye of faith to our gathering together Thursday October 6 1904, in that grand old First Baptist church Lexington, which feels so near to me, as there was the place where I first saw the light and fell the power of the Holly Spirit, by the burden of my heart rolling away. We are looking forward to a grand meeting. Our last meeting was a great inspiration to our work, Christ was certainly in our midst; a large delegation of sisters and brethren and we raised more money than at any previous session. We now ask you to unite with us in carrying on this glorious work for we know every true Baptist brother and sister is with us. We simply give the signal for marching orders. We need ask, this campaign is for the young, as well as the old, all come with united heart and hand to more earnest carry out this great work so that the reports at our Convention at Lexington in October will show greater success than ever before. Letus leave no stone unturned, where we may make friends or secure aid. Our mothers planted wisely and well, but they have ceased from this labor and gone to their rest, but their consecrated efforts, prayers and sacrifices will live as long as there is a student of State University who is able to raise the banner of that institution. Shall we provide suitable bullings and have comfortable surroundings for our students: If so the flag of the Baptist Women's Educational Convention is now hurled to the booze with $2,000.00 as its ensign, we call on our soldiers in all parts of our state and in other states, old regulars and volunteers to keep that flag from trailing in the dust. There is no discharge in this war" see --- to it that your church is organised and is represented at our next meeting. On missionary, sister Jackson, will visit you, if she has not already done so, do not fail to help her give her an encouraging word and a good collection. We ask your prayers that our efforts may be crowned with success and that in the near future we shall have a splendid building towering toward the skies drawing young men and women to the haven of Christian Education. Yours for the success of the cause, M. E. STEWARI. President of the Baptist Women's Educational Convention, Louisville, Ky. Not Fatal. No Matter What Doctors Say—We Know That Heart Trouble in Many Cases Can Be Cured. There are seven main features of heart disease, viz.: (1) Weakness or Debility; (2) Rheumatism or Neuralgia; (3) Valvular Disorder; (4) Dilation; (5) Enlargement; (6) Fatty Degeneration; (7) Dropsy.
