AMERICAN BAPTIST. GOD'S REST. Rest, rest—his sleep plug after pain When nights are down and curtains close, we sleep; The stars watch os, their pale rays faintly keep Their unseen vigil o'er the slumbering one Not death—but rest—the music of the shores His angels' lullaby of sweet repose, We should not weep—'tis well God knows, And it is sweet to sleep. Such strenuous living! ow the pulses throb! Life's little triumph—jodys—its cares and pain: The wondrous working of the busy brain Till it is time to rest—he calls us home Think not of death, but rest, More peaceful and protound, that does not dream In half-unconscious pain. it should not seem That dreadful parting—surely he knows best. 'Tis hard to say "goodbye" but not "good night!" We all must some time sleep at close of day, And if the weary one can only pray With soul uns ained—'tis well; "He giveth his beloved sleep," why weep? The wayward, weary, sin-stained soul needs rest— Rest, rest, indeed, like those their works oppressed For then the argels weep—we all need sleep Not death, but God's own rest! WOMEN'S WORK Jawisport was our next point, we PHONE 1460 and I will W amount. Left on morning train for Hawesville, was welcomed into the home of sister Maunervia Warren where we always feel at home. At night a small audience greeted us and we were ably assisted in the meeting by pastor of the Methodist church, Rev. Locke being absent, a collation of $1.25 was given us and a donation promised sent to us at Lexington. The work at this point is in the hands of sister Warren and with her unruly zeal assisted by pastor Locke success is assured. At Clverport our next step we were pleasantly entertained in the home of deacon Haynes; at night visited the church it was not generally known that a meeting was to be, consequently only a few were present. A collection of 65 cats was taken for the work deacon Haynes contributing 25 cents of that amount. We were more than delighted to receive at this point a letter from Miss M. C. Slaughter, of Bowling Green, Ky., who kindly consented to present the claims of our work at the Union District Sunday School Convention which convened at Oakland, Ky. This convention contributed $4.10 travelling expenses deducted left $3.40 for which we wish to thank both the convention and Miss Slaughter. Ekron was next point visited; found no one to meet us and in fact no appointment made for us inquired our way to a faithful sister near the church named Charlotte Garner, who welcomed us to her table and bed. A fearful railstorm insued we feasted we would be unable to have a meeting but as night grew near the clouds disappeared and the deacon brathren soon canvassed the little town in the interest of our meeting, an enthusiastic crowd assembled to hear us talked at length upon the plans of our board to erect the much needed Dormitory. The congregation espended with a contribution of $4.25; below find names of those who contributed 25 cents each: Deacons Marcus Clayter George Nelson, sisters Maggie Clayter, Maria Dower, Charlotte Garner. Following the collection a large University Society was organized with the following officers: sisters Margie Clayter and Victoria Nelson President; Board of Managers, Fannie Robinson, Charlotte Garner and Mabel Taylor. This Society promises to have a good report ere the convention meets assisted by their beloved pastot Rev. Emmanuel Jones of Louisville. Ivington was our next stop we were met at the station by our hostess Mrs. Neilie Robinson and soon reached her comfortable home where our stay was made indeed most pleasant until we left on Sunday morning. At night we visited the first Baptist church, pastor G. W. Thompson was absent but we were in the meeting by deacon Matt Monon. A collection of $2.00 was given for our work, brother M. Johnson and sister Eddie Richardson contributed 25 cents each. Leaving for Brandenburg at 8 p. m. we reached the church just as the scripture lesson was being read by pastor Davis, who afterwards preached an instructive sermon. After service we were introduced to the members of the church who gave us a hearty welcome. Sisters Amanda Lewis, widow of the late Rev. H Lewis, invited us to stop with her. Here we had a most delightful stay in their beautiful retired home. At 8 p. m. we returned to church, where after service we were introduced to the congregation in a pleasing manner and presented our claims. The account given of our work during the past years, and the plan of our work for the present and future heartily enjoyed and entered into by all present; a collection was taken for some to the amount of $6.10 the contributors: Rev. Benj. Davis, Deacons J. S. Cobur, Henry J. Owens, W. Thomas Park Goodley, Chas, A. N. Cook, Bros. Anderson Goodman, Ike Brown, Rev. W. H. Poole, Charley Blackwell, sisters, Anna Blackwell Amanda Lewis, Harriet Goodman, Addie Witson, Lizzie Thomas, 25 cents each, Miss Lady Murray 60 cents. Possibly the largest University Society it has been our pleasure to organize this summer was perfected here, with the following officers: sisters Alice Owens, Cordelia Owens and Millie Lowery preside;列入 Whaler and Sailie Richardson, secretary; Amanda Lewis, treasurer; Amanda Blackwell, Arnie Goodman Harriet Richardson, members of the Board of managers. We have great hopes of this society and have the promise of at least two representatives in attendance at our next meeting, bidding all adieu we took stage line for station three miles distant and the train for West Point hoping to make the trip before usurer J. Turner. Ush we stop ade no night church house or Louis- see the familiar buildings etc. of the state metropolis, after an absence of fourteen weeks spent in touring southern and western Kentucky. We took car for Seventh and Walnut sts, stopped for breakfast at the Women's Industrial Club, where we were greeted by the chairman of our board, Miss L. C. Critteendu, also Miss Nannie H. Burroughs and Mrs. Straughn. When we had appeased our appetite, settled our bill etc., we made our way to the inviting home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm H. Steward where the latch string hangs on the outside of an open door and the missionaries and ministers of Kentucky even find a welcome a delightful home like day was spent. private convocation with Mrs. Mamie E. Steward who is the unsurpassed president of the Baptist Women's Educational Convention of Kentucky. After enjoying a hearty and well prepared dinner we were of at 6 p.m. via the C & O. for our old home, Shelbyville where loved ones joined us and bade us only that welcome that comes from the hearts of those who know us to love us At 8 p. m. we were off for church, Shelby county M. & D. meeting was in session. We witnessed the ordination of Rev. Nelson Roberts, all expressed themselves as being glad to see us home again. Receiving the message that it was not convenient to have us visit Newbury church Tuesday night owing to absence of pastor Reed, we spent the time quietly at home returning to Louisville on Wednesday evening via L & N., then took a traction cars for J. frsntown to fill appointment. Went immediately to the church pastor Reynolds being absent, but a faithfew was present to hear us. We read for opening 90 Pc. sang "Rescue the perishing" offered prayer, introduced ourselves to audience and presented our claims receiving $130 for our work. Miss Emma Harris kindly consented to take five soliciting cards. This church has an active society and we hope to have a good report from them also a delegate.

The National Negro Business League. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED AT THE FIFTH ANNUAL SESSION HELD IN INDIANAPOLIS IND., AUGUST 31, AND SEPTEMBER 1 AND 2. Your Committee on resolutions beg leave to submit the following: The fifth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League assembled in the city of Indianapolis, in numbers and in interest shown by the delegates present from every part of the republic, emphasizes anew the wisdom shown by the founders of the League. It demonstrates the influence which the League has exerted upon our great Negro population in stimulating the saving spirit among them to labor, to be of those worthy to be counted with the uplifting and conservative forces of the national citizenship. In the brief period of its ex stance, it has shown that the race is animated by the same impulses for individual, race and national uplift, which animate others of our fellow citizens, and that they need only as others need it, the inspiration of close association and wise council. It is a fair conclusion from the facts presented in this convention that the Negro people have shown their capacity in the entire field of manual labor employments and that the results of their labor in those employments are no less worthy of honorable records than those of others. Of the ten million bates of cotton produced in the United States last year, eighty per cent was the product of Negro labor; while a princely acreage on which the cotton was produced is now the property of those who forty years ago did not own themselves. And the constant increase of the farm holding of the Negroes, and of cotton and other agricultural products, with the development of the new Negro business man and therefore of the bankers, six of whom are members of the League, is not only one of the most encouraging signs of the times, but it is the sign by which we conquer. When one Kansas farmer, a member of the League, requires 161 cars to move his annual crop of white potatoes to the market, when one barber employs 20 men, when one man manufactures carriages and buggies, when one woman in a northern community can create a domestic science school out of nerve and persistent effort, when it is shown that the race by testimony by numbers of the League are making a place in the industrial and commercial life of the republic in all of the various avenues, we may be reasonably encouraged in the good work we are doing, "For the dav cometh," and to appeal to our favored and fortunate fellow citizens for helpful sympathy and for the open door of opportunity, without which as merchant, as skilled artisan, as manual laborer, our efforts will be difficult beyond the measure of other men, if not impossible of ultimate success. The right to labor is the right divine, our right to live is wrapped up in it and is assured to us by the law of God and by the law of man. The public opinion or the private rule, which infringes that right, not only, menaces our success as business men, but throws back upon us a volume of poverty and crime with which we cannot single-handed cope and which reacts upon the character and tone upon the communities in which we side. We have our pauper and criminal class, but we would have the public charity and the legal processes of the law and public opinion deal with them as other like race elements of the National population are dealt with. As our devot a president Dr. Washington declared in his address in Uniontown, Ala., recently, "You cannot lynch Negroes in the winter and expect them to raise cotton in the summer." "We be men and brothers." We have sensibilities and desires like other m n. We ask that we be judged in public opinion and in law as other men are judged. As a Christian people as a Christian nation, it is an obligation that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us, and that we "love our neighbor as ourselves." As business men, we in the supremacy of the law as the surest safe guard of healthy business development and effective industrial effort. It is matter of statistics that the balance of trade in favor of the United States is due the tremendous experts of raw cotton and the manufactured fabrics of cotton. As this fact of national moment is based on Negro labor, and the wisdom and industry of Negro farmers to a large extent, it is therefore of the utmost importance that the major employed in this industry should be of the highest possible efficiency, and an- joy to the fullest the protection of the law, while on the other hand the criminal element should be dealt with rigidly and impartially. In this connection we wish to direct attention to the significant fact that the primacy of the United States in the production of cotton is threatened from two sources: (1) the restless disposition constantly shown by the laborer necessary to produce cotton to abandon the farm—due in large part to the belief becoming general that the laws are insufficient to protect him even when innocent of offense from mob violence; (2) the tentative efforts of Germany, Great Britain, and France to raise cotton on a large scale in the African territory and the persistent bid which they are beginning to make for the trainee. Negro laborer for the South—the Germans having gone so far as to employ for a term of years at large salary Negro graduates of our leading industrial schools, in German Africa—the necessities of foreigners make them desire to become tree of dependence upon American markets for the cotton necessary to keep their spindles in motion. As business men we have to regard with apprehension any movement which threatens the continued supremacy of the United States in the production of cotton. Your committee urges that the organization of Leagues in neighboring towns be encouraged, remembering that there is room for all and that the widest possible usefulness of the League upon the people generally. We also recommend that local Leagues associate their efforts with those who would discontience vice and crime in their immediate localities and in stimulating members of her race to a life of industry and thrift, in which the acquisition of hemes and lands should be a controlling factor. During our discussion it has been clearly developed that the race has been steadily loosing many avenues of valuable employment. It is evident that this is largely from lack of proper training. To meet this emergency we recommend that in order to hold our position in gainful occupations more the useful attention be given the technical education of our youth as a supplement to such training in the home as to make for fidelity and precision in the execution of sma lar obligations. The National Negro Business League is very much indebted to the Local Business League of Indianapolis and to the citizens generally, too many to be specially mentioned in a resolution such as we desire here to present, for the generous efforts to provide for the comfort of delegates and for their many and generous provisus us for their entertainment. The presence of the representative of the state government, the mayor of the city, the president of the Commercial Club, and the welcome spoken by editor Manning, duly impress us as pointing to a state of friendliness for the object of the League namely: the uplifting of the Negro in America and the establishment of those peaceful relations between the races, so necessary to a prosperous and happy country, and their hearty sympathy with the work. We sincerely trust that what they have heard during this convention of the progress of the race is such as to make them feel proud of their generous offerings and untiring work.

He said his heart was made to rejoice while at the Afro-American Council in St. Louis, because a faithful Kentucky Baptist was elected president in the person of Mr. W, H. Steward. All of us feel glad over that. The tenth anniversary of President Purce will be October 1st. In the rally we want to raise one thousand dollars.

Steinmetz's Missionary Training classes are having successful meeting three times a week at the University. The teachers say they have never seen our students so eager to learn and study as they appear now. That speaks well for them. We were glad to have a visit from Mrs. Steinmetz's mother, Mrs. Miller.

WOMEN'S WORK 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 Convention work, and as usual I address you this annual letter. We wish to express our gratitude to our Heavenly Father for the fractions manner in which he has so long led and comforted us through difficulties, both seen and unseen. For twenty-eene 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 us 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 Octo- er 1604, 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 felt 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 all, this campaign is for the young as well as the old, all come with united heart and hand to more earnestly 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 our aid. Our fathers 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 boeeze, 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 organized and is represented at our next meeting. Our 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 ESTABLISHED 1879. haven[of Christian Education. Yours for the success of the cause, M. E. STEWARR. President of the Baptist Women's Educational Convention, Louisville, Ky. Phelps Hall Bible Training School Connected with the Tuskegee Instituted, Tuskegee, Ala., 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 colored 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 way has been very helpful the neighboring 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 generere 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. Gudsen. Rt. Rev. Geo. W. Clinton, of Charlotte, N. C., and Dr. T. Johnson, of Philadelphia, Pa. deliver a regular co-su 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, light, tuel, washing, etc., is $8.50 per month. Students will be given an opportunity to work out from $1.50 to $3.00 of this amount, this leaving only $5.60 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.

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 23,1904 In the report of the Home Mission Board to the National Baptist Convention in Austin Texas last week the Board affirms "that after three years earnest toil we are compelled to bring this magnificent paper back to the convention and say that our Board finds it both unprofitable and impracticable to publish it under the present arrangements. The paper met with flattering success for two years, but the change has caused the circulation to fall off, until today we regret to say, it is not more than 60 per cent of what it was a year ago. We believe that any one of the Boards could take the paper and make it a success after a number of years work. We therefore turn it ever to the convention with whatever interest your Board may have in the paper as the Board feels the Convention is much better prepared to run a denominational paper and defray the expenses than any one Board." When this paper was started it was the consensus of opinion of many experienced and practical news-paper men that the project would not succeed. Experience has verified that opinion and instead of the Convention conducting a paper, it would be well to give support to those already established using their columns for the work of the convention as the necessity demands. In this way a larger number of readers would be reached than any paper established by the convention could possibly do and with a very much smaller expenditure of money. The movement to inaugurate a series of revivals or a general revival in this city as a cure for lawlessness and immorality in this community is no doubt prompted by the right spirit and will be successful only so far as the flood people will give it support and encouragement. There is entirely too much of the disposition to allow these matters to take care of themselves and for that reason much that is good and wholesome fails to be as affective as it should be. No class of people in this community need the influence of these reform movements more than ours and the excuse that the evils of which general complaint is made originates among others make the errors of our race none the less reprehensible nor harmful. The most causal observer must confess that the lawless and disorderly class of our people are increasing far too rapidly and that they are growing audacious and bold in their transgressions. This class must be suppressed or reformed or it will be as a mill-stone upon the neck of the race and will do more than its share in bringing it into bad repute and under censure. Let the good work of reform begin and Christian workers land a helping hand.

SUNDAY, OCT. 2. 2 Kings 2: 12.22. Motto Text—"Let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.'— "And Elisha saw it."—Elisha's ascension, which was the sign that a double portion of his master's spirit would be granted him. "And he cried, my father, my father."—It is evident from Elisha's devotion that Eijah was a very lovable man. The stronger the character, if it be also tender, the deeper the devotion it receives. A noble man is stern and relentless toward sin, but kind and loving to the penitent and the good. "The chariot of Israel, and the horsemen therof."—Elijah was the strong defense of his people against idolatry, hence Elisha speaks of him thus. "What a wall of protection, this man was about the believers in the land! He was their champion standard bearer. More terrible was he to Ahab and Jezebel in his invisible armour than a host of Syrians and Philstines. He was the phalanx and bulwark of Israel, (Krammacher). Christians are to-day the defence of any nation. Ten righteous men would have protected Sodom and Gomorrah, Luther did more for Germany than all her armies. "And he took hold of his own clothes and rent them in two pieces.—The common way of expressing grief. His grief was chiefly that Elijah was lost to Israel and he felt how easily he could fill the place of his great teacher. It was from the of Elijah's mantle that we have the common expression which says of a great man "his mantle has fallen" on such a one. "And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters and said. 'Where is the Lord God of Elijah?'" Elisha begins his career with the miracle with which Elijah's had closed, thus showing to the sons of the prophets he had been chosen by God as Elijah's successor. There is no doubt in the question he asks. It is a prayer to the God of Elijah to come to his help. Elisha's duty led him back to Jericho. And wherever God calls a man to go he will open a way for him. If the way is not opened it is sure proof that the man is not called to walk in it. The fifty men who had gone out upon the height to watch Elijah and Elisha as they went down to Jordan saw that the spirit of Elijah rested on Elisha, and they received them as their director and chief. V. 16. This is a strange request. These men had known before the ascension that God would take away Elijah that day. Commentators differ in their explanations, Some think these young men were anxious to prove beyond the gainsaying of skeptical idolaters that Elijah had been translated. Others that they thought his soul had gone to heaven but that his body would be left as a cast-off garment and they were anxious to find and bury it. Others that they thought the spirit had carried Elijah to heaven for a season, as Paul and John were afterwards carried, and that the prophet was returned to earth refreshed and strengthened for his work and would be found somewhere alive and well. The latter explanation seems most probable. All which the Bible tells us is the fact of their desire to send. "Fifty strong men"-such as would be needed in searching the wilderness. "And when they urged till he was ashamed, he said, 'Send.'"—Ashamed means that he gave up hope of persuading them the search would be useless. Lange says the Heorew word frequently word frequently has this meaning. Persistence carried its point, but AMERICAN BAPTIST, FRIDAYSEPTEMBER 23 1904 only to find the prophet was right. They ought to have known from the miracle worked at the river Jordan. by Elisha, and from his taking Elijah's place that Elisha knew his old master was gone from earth not to return. But they insisted till he yielded to importunity. We should be very careful before being persistent in wishing any prayer granted to be sure the request is the right one. "They sought three days, but found him not"—Time enough to search the wildness carfully for some distance from the Jordan, Their search confirmed their faith that Elijah had been translated to heaven in his body, and also increased their respect for Elisha. Elisha's rebuke for their refusing to take his word is a very mild one "And the men of the city."—The translation of Elijah would make them have more faith in the power of his successor. They come believing he can and will work a miracle to aid them. "The situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth."—Being near the passage of the Jordan it was an important point for trade. "But the water is naught and the ground is barren."—Naught is used in the sense of bad. It is evident all the trouble was caused by the water and that was known by the authorities. How often one thing destroys pleasure and happiness. All earthly things ave their drawbacks. The city was a pleasant one—but. These men knew what to do to remedy the evil. They appealed to God through his prophe "Bring me a new cruse."—The Hebrew word is different from the one used in speaking of the widows cruise. This means bowl. The The cruise being new was pure from all former defilement. Salt is a purifier, but salt thrown in by other haeds, even by the barrel full would have done nothing for the water. "And he went forth unto the spring of the waters."—No doubt this is the present spring called Aines Sultan, a large spring of water which is not very cold but is very agreeable to the taste. This spring is still called by the Jews, "The Fountain of Elisha." "Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters." This clearly shows that the salt was not the means whereby the healing was wrought, but only an outward sign to point to the work which was supernaturally performed. Even if salt had a tendency to make the water better, the small amount that Elisha had cast into the water could not have effected so large a spring. This water caused, it is supposed much death among children. The direct lesson which this incident teaches is God's care for the temporal welfare of his creatures. It illustrates those words of our Lord in regard to the falling spar row. It is right to ask God to remove temporal troubles if only we desire that He shall do as seemeth him best. And this healing of the waters encourages us to pray for earthly blessings. The incident can be used as an illustration in spiritual things, but teachers need to use great care in spiritualizing. We have no reason to believe that salt was used, for example, as a type of the covenant blood, nor yet that the spring was a type of sin in an otherwise beautiful world. But yet the foul spring and its purification illustrates the sin of the world and its remedy. ASSOC A TIONAL MEETINGS IN KENTUCKY FOR 1904. First District B W. E.

Suffering Will Not Help Your Disease, but Will Weaken Your Nerves. Folks who think it is better to bear pain than soothe it—are wrong.

A safe rule to remember is: When in pain, take an Anti-Pain Pill. This will soothe your quivering nerves.
