The American Baptist

AMERICAN BAPTIST. NOT AS I WILL. Blindfolded and alone I stand With unknown threesholds on each hand; The darkness deepens as I grope, Afraid to fear, afraid to hope; Yet this one thing I learn to know; Each day more early as I go That doors are opened ways are made, Burdens are lited, or are laid, By's some great law useness and still Unfathomed purpose to fulfil, titler of all will." de 11 Blindfolded and alone I wait, Loss seems too bitter, gain to late; Two heavy burdens in the load, And too few helpers on the road; And joy is weak and grief is strong And years and days so long, so long Yet this one thing I earn to know Each day more surely as I go, That I am glad the good and ill by changeless laws are ordered still, "Not as I will."—the sound grows sweet Each time my lips the words repeat, "Not as I will!"—the darkness feels More safe than light when this thought stems Like whispered voice calm and bless All unrest and all loneliness, "Not as I will," because the One Who loved us fire, and best has gone Before us on the road, and still For me must all his love fulfill— BAPTIST WOMEN'S EDUCA TIONAL CONVENTION.

We remained in Winchester for three dans, received a telephone message from Rev. H. C. Baker, pastor of Mt. Sterling church, saying, as no announcement had been made for us on Sunday it would be better to defer our visit. On Wednesday we visited the first Baptist church Winchester, pastor being absent Rev. H. D. Colerane kindly consented to lead devotionals, after which we were introduced by aim to a faithful few and presented our claims a collection of $1.55 was given us and six soliciting cards distributed. We were pleasantly entertained during our entire stay at the home of Dr. and Mrs. C. P. M. Bigbee. Left Thursday morning for Lexington to fill appointment at Liberty church, Rev. Hollaway pastor. Stopped at the inviting home of Dr. and Mrs. E. W. Hawthorne, was accompanied to churon by Mrs. Ferrell Parrish, but upon reaching there found that the church had not been opened owing to a misunderstanding as to the night. Nicholasville was the next point visited, took bus at the station and drove to pastor Goins' residence, finding no one at home we were driven to the comfortable home of dear sister Harriet Martin, whare we were received with open arms and our stay made indeed pleasant. Rev. C. C. Goins, the pastor, called to inform us that owing to previous announcement for church meeting for that night, no announcement had been made for our coming hence no appointment. We asked permission of him to visit the church meeting since we were a Baptist also, and in good and regular standing this request was granted, accordingly we were on time. After usual order of business; we were introduced and made an appeal for our work. A collection of $1.25 was given us, Rev. W. J. M. Price, of Mayville, giving 50 cents of that amount, Bro. Napoleon Price 25 cents, sister Martin made and encouraging talk. We missed our dear sister Goins so much from the meeting, but to know that she was away on a much needed vacation, left for her to distribute five solitary cards, gave out five to others who were present. Daville was our next point, found Dr. B. F. Joees the popular physician and Sunday School superintendent of that thriving city, comfortably seated in his handsome new buggy we were driven behind his fast steed to their beautiful and ever inviting home where dear Mrs. Jones and each of the children old us welcome. Our stay was made most agreeable for several nays. On Sunday morning we visited First Baptist church Sunday School was warmly received taught a bright class of girls just budding into womanhood was introduced to the Sunday School by Supt. Jones and received a collection of $2.00 remained to 11 o'clock service and listed to an eloquent sermon by Rev. J. E. Wood the beloved pastor who after the conclusion of the morning service introduced us in a most pleasing manner. When we had finished our plea the congregation responded with a collection of $6.00; Bro. James Reed, Dr. B. F. Jones, sisters Fannie Wood, Marie B. Shields, Bettie Reed, Peaboie Belle Baker donated 25 cents each of this amount. Attended 8 o'clock services held by he Missionary society to raise money to assist in the defense of Mrs. Mary Thompson of Lebanon Junction, was introduced. A collection of $11.30 was raised which was indeed a grand showing for a worthy cause. We had hoped to speak at night to the New Mission congregation, Rev. Wallace Fisher pastor, but upon learning there had been a previous appointment for another missionary we deferred our visit and again attended services at Firt Baptist church. On Monday evening we drove to Atoka per appointment took supper with Rev. Adams and family where we always receives a cordial welcome sorry however to find dear sister Adams away. We were at church on time where a large and appreciative audience had assembled to hear us speak of our work. Rev. Adams in his usual earnest manner impressive, conducted devotionals and that introduced us. We found the sooic still active and prep ring to report at the convention A collection of $4. 0 was given us, the following named perous contributed 25 cents each: brethren N. Lewis, R. Walker, Joseph Grant, Clarence Walker, Jesse Harris, Rev. J. F. Adams, sisters Mary Walker, Jane Grant, Mary Rogers, Bettie Rogers; left seven cards to be filled. Returned to Danville after dismission. On Tuesday afternoon we were treated to a delightful drive over the city through the kindness of and in company with Mrs. Dr. Jones and their three charming little girls called to see Meadies Childs, Wood, Wallace. Thomas and Summers return- ing for lunch we drove hurriedly to Harrodsburg, a distance of 10 miles, to fill appointment viz. mass-meeting at Centennial church. Arriving at 8 p.m. we sound a large congregation had assembled, the M. & D. Conference was in session also Executive Board meeting of South D District Association hence a number of ministers were on hand. Rev, G. W. Lillard and his members received us warmly; the entire evening service was given for us to present our plains. Rev. Lillard, Chandler and Taylor conduct devotional exercises after which we were introduced in a happy manner by pastor Lillard, ere we had finished our appeal a collection of $8.00 was given us the following named persons contributing 26 cents each. Rev. G. W. Lillard, G. S. Goodnow Geo. W. Lillard, Bro. M. Mountain, sisters Eileen Brown, Katie Eastin, Eileen Brown, Lizz e Lillard, five soliciting cards were sent with the president Mrs. Eileen Scott also nine charts to be sold. Reorganized the University society with the following officers: sisters Mary Ellen Scott and Annie McCowau presidents; Minnie Hawkins and Maria Fisher secretaries; Georgia Fisher treasurer; Sally Turner, Jane Tilford and Emma McCowau members of the board of managers. Refreshments were served us after discussion and all repaired to the lecture room where many delicacies were served. Rev. Lillard deserves special mentio for excellent service he has rendered the Centennial Baptist church, with his faithful wife at his side and an excellent number of members but bespeaks a bright future before him we recurred again to Danville after dismission. These two trips v.2: Aoka and Harrodsburg, where we had the two most successful meetings, receipts from which netted 7,00 clear. We owe special thanks to Dr. and Mrs. B. F. Jones who kindly consented to give us these two trips to aid us in our work. Owing to the fact that Rev. Goodwin the genial pastor could not leave the Executive Board meeting to be present with us at his church at Perryville we were asked to defer our visit and therefore decided to visit Mt. Pleasant District Association which convened at Bethsaida. Left Danville for Lexington at 6 a.m., Wednesday, reaching Lexington on schedule time, we found, however, by inquiring of Rev. Frye whom we met at the post office that the wagon which conveyed messengers from train to Bethsaida, distance of four miles away, had gone; what te we spatently knew. We went over to Bro. Dunn's furniture store to inquire in the wagon would return to meet the afternoon train, he informed us it would not. Fortunately Rev. Bush was there and kindly consented to assist us in hiring a conveyance as he himself desired to attend. Deacon Dunn securing for us the vehicle and driver we were soon on our way. Reached the church after dismiss on of morning session, Pastor Talbert who so nicely cared for the delegates gave us a nice stopping place near the church. We remained in attendance until Saturday morning. Revs. T. H. Broaddus and I. Miller, were re-elected as moderators, in fact, all of the old officers were re-elected. A great time was ruhy had in Bethesda, the meeting was a decided success both spiritually and financially, large crowds from Lexington and the surrounding coun. try were in attendance and a spiritual feast was enjoyed by all. On Friday at 3 p.m. we were introduced by Dr. Broaddus to the Association and made an appeal for our work. We talked at length upon the plans of our Board to erect a much needed New Dormitory for girls upon our campus. To this appeal the messengers, members and friends responded by giving $20.00 to be added to our building fund; below see names of contributors: Revs. J. Fisher, J. E. Miller, C. Sunothers, R. B. Cutter, J. Holbott, I. Sayer, E. Yates, T. H. Broaddus, W. M. Young, C. Embry, D. C. Frances, H. C. Baker, J. H. Mattnews, R. T. Duffman, J. H. Beatty, W. D. Thomson, G. L. Campbell, I. Miller, Bros. Robert Clarke, Time Bright, Ned Strong, Stepp Coun, D. Massey, H. Faulkner, L. Hardis, H. Dyson, John Ballon, Joevin, sisters Annily Hawkins and Rhoda Young. Our next point is Greensburg. We ask that you continue to pray while we labor, L. M. JACKSON. Welcome as Sunshine after a long strom is a feeling of relief when an obstatate, pitiless cold has been driven a way by Allen's Lung Balsam: Only people who have been cured of throat-ache and sore lungs by this remedy can quite realize what the feeling is. There is no opium in Balsam; it is good effect is radical and lasting. Take bottle home to-day. Paper read at the Consolidated Sunday School Convention at Maysville. Ky., Miss Lula A. Brown, of Versailles, Ky. The great system of S. S. management is filled with "dots." In fact every "d" is accompanied with a dot. They are twin sisters and coexist in such away as to be inseparable. One of the great many dots that often and too frequently manifest itself is the desire on the part of some S. S. to become separate and distinct bodies from the church. This is a very destructive idea and should not be encouraged. For the church and S. S. are one their interest are one and neither can prosperously exist without the other One other very injurious "don't" is the selection of officers to manage the affairs of the S. S. no person should be selected or has any right to be selected to these offices unless he is a studious, moral, Christian, gentleman or lady. One that will sacrifice personal pleasure at any time for the good of the Sunday school, the promotion of the cause of Christ and the uplifting of fallen humanity. Above all "dont" select a Supt. who is not an "iron side" Bapti-t by both principle and practice. Do not set a Supt. who is not a good Baptist and Christian out of the Sunday School as he or she is in Sunday School no person has any right to be accorded the honor of Superintendent in any Sunday School, who is not as well qualified to teach from a studious, moral and Christian standpoint, as the Superintendent is to preside over affairs in general. When I was studious, I mean biblically studious. Don't go before your Sunday School or class without having prayerfully studied your Sunday School lesson, you might do the cause of Christ harm by trying to do it good, by so doing. Don't fail to encourage your young people by giving them an opportunity to fill some of the minor offices. Don't fail to be a missionary as you go about during the week by inviting your friends to Sunday School occasionally. Don't fall to counsel with the pastor and officers about the particulars and needs of the Sunday School in general. I might stand here and speak of at least a thousand more "don'ts" with which we are acquainted in Sunday School, but I shall not attempt to do so. Let us encourage and help the young people to stop riding on the hobby or "don'ts" but try to do what the can, in best way they can for the Sunday School with whom they are identified and our efforts will be crowned with better results. Our reward in heaven with a number of stars in our crown. Once more dip my pen in the inky try to impress the little word "do" to these faithful workers of Christ, and blot the little word don't out of our Sunday School when we find it detrimental." DON'TS, MISS MARY E, SMALLEY "The Sunday School being a department for religious training, and as it is largely inhabited by children, so we are merely laying the foundation upon which the buildings of noble men and women are yet to be erected. Since the young are the future church, they should have the very best of religious training. There is no department of any more importance than the Sunday School, so it is very necessary to secure and maintain a good one." First: Don't select careless sacrilegious and incompetent persons as Superintendent, as the success of any organization depends largely upon the presiding officer. Don't fail to be punctual to the hour meeting. Don't select teachers that are not model Christians, for the actions of the teacher influence the pupils as much as the words. Dont require more of the pupils than the officers. For the school is in the hand of the officers and their lies its success or failure. Dont fail to have the Sunday school room cheerful and pleasant. Dont feel your independency from the church, as the Sunday School is an auxiliary of the church. Dont neglect the support of the mission, both home and foreign for we that have the light must and it to others. Dont fail to represent at any body of which you are a member. Dont fail to encourage regular attendance as irregular attendance causes carelessness and disinterest. Dont neglect the introduction of new plans, for is a constant change. Dont tolerate sinful habits, especially among the officers. Dont neglect the grading of the Sunday School as it will ESTABLISHED 1879 make the pupils more studious. Don't fail to have teachers' meeting, or it will prevent the teachers from appearing before their classes unprepared. Don't neglect the support of the educational work, for in connection with religious training, we also need the cultivation of the moral intellectual and physical powers. Let us do our duty as Christian Sunday School workers and strive to do all in our power to have a model Sunday School. Doing the Right Thing The trouble begins with a tickling in the throat and a nagging little cough soreness in the chest follows and the patient wonders if he is going to have an all winter cold. Probusly, if he does the wringing or nothing. Certainly not if he uses Perry Davis' Painkiller, the stance old remedy that cures a cold in 24 hours.

In the National Baptist Union of last week Rev. R.H. Boyd D.D. Cor. Sec. of the National Baptist Puplishing Board has considerable to say about the action of the National Baptist Convention relative to the plan of Co-operation with the Southern Baptist Convention. In reviewing the action of the Convention on that subject he fails to include perhaps the most important motion and that one was the motion to adopt all the report of the Home Mission Board except that pertaining to the plan of co-operation, which was referred to this special committee mentioned. The resolutions of Dr. Morris and Dr. Griggs followed this motion and is no more the sense of the Convention than was the first motion. This paper has aimed to report without prejudice the action of the Convention upon this question and it will carefully correct any errors it has made in this particular. The Secretary of the Convention is very convenient to Dr. Boyd and he can readily ascertain from the journal whether our version is correct or not. If the good Docter will kindly hold us responsible for what we say we will not complain, but we do not feel willing to accept responsibility for what others are saying or doing. We have our views about the plan of co-operation, but when the National Convention adopts its policy finally we have no hesitancy in saying that it will have no trouble with us, with the exception that we reserve the Baptist right to share our own opinions upon this question as we do upon any other question in which our denomination is concerned. THERE may be some good reason advanced for the issuing of Bonds for the purpose of building new sewers and reconstructing some streets, but the manner in which the question has been submitted raises a reasonable doubt as to its propriety and necessity. Why has not the question been submitted to the people long ago? Why wait until within a few weeks of the election to submit the question? There is not ample time for a full, free, and fair discussion of the question and a thorough understanding of the details and its approval under these circumstances would be dangerous. Besides this the present administration only has a little over one year to exist and it would be unwise to allow it to make contracts that it would hardly and possibly not begin and allow another administration to finish. Under these conditions the Bond issue should not be approved by the people. The city will not go ruin while the people are considering the question as its importance and magnitude demands. The address of Senator Charles W. Fairbanks in the city last Saturday and that of Secretary of Treasury Leslie M. Shaw Tuesday evening has done much toward arousing political enthusiasm and will insure a full vote upon the part of Republicans in this state. This 1904 WORLD WAR II is not alone a political contest but it has been waged upon such high ground as to make it a moral and patriotic issue with colored men and they cannot vote for Parker or the party he represents without sacrificing manhood and honor. Next Tuesday should find every voter lined up with the party that believes in manhood and suffrage rights and is willing to be placed upon record as favoring these fundamental principles. Every vote counts and nothing should be taken for granted, out every voter should consider it his first duty next Tuesday morning to vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks and let other matters take care of themselves. No indictments were returned against the lynchers at Statesboro Ga., though some members of the militia who permitted the lynching were Court-martialed and punished by dismissal from the service. The Jury which investigated the affair reported: "We deplore the recent lawlessness in our city and community, especially referred to by his honor Hon. Judge A F. Daley in his able charge. We have investigated the matter in the light of information coming under our personal knowledge, and obtained by examination of a number of witnesses, but we have been unable to find sufficient evidence to warrant indictment." Judge Daley said in discharging the jury that he did not see why indictments were not returned, and spoke in such a manner as to indicate disappointment and disapproval at the failure to indict the rosters. For some time the question of representation upon juries has been agitated in this city among our people and the question has been discussed and decided favorably and unfavorably. But after all the movement has been partially successful and this month a reputable colored business man is serving on the Grand Jury in the Circuit Court. There is nothing especially important in this for many colored men have in former years served on juries in this court; but of late years there has been an evident and perhaps deliberate purpose somewhere to prevent this and as a consequence no colored men have been selected for jury service. Now that a change has been made again the effect will be watched with deep interest. The Biblical Recorder of Raleigh N.C. one of the best religious papers published in the South did the race and denomination a great service when it published in full the report of the committee on the State of the Country submitted at the recent session of the National Baptist Convention in Austin Texas. The Recorder states that the address is respectful and vigorous even interesting and elquent. The reading of the address by white friends who read the Recorder will do much good in giving them a better understanding of the race question. THE fact that the Grand Jury of the U. S. District for Northern Ala under the instructions of Judge Jones indicted members of the mob which lynched Horace Maples at Huntsville indicates that there is a growing sentiment that something must be done to break up the reign of violence and lawlessness. If members of a mob can be indicted in Alabama under the U. S. laws they may be indicted in any other state and no where no violaters of the law like to fall into the hands of the United States government --- Gov. J.K. Vardaman refuses to allow the United Brothers of Friendship and the Mysterious Ten to be chartered in Mississippi. These are old organizations, but the governor does not believe the Negro should be a member of secret societies. He propose to disdiplinize the Negro of his State. There are no Negrees in the State who would follow the the governor or take his advice in anything.—Christmas Index NEWS AND NOTES The President has issued a preclamation naming Thursday Nov. 22th as Thanksgiving. --- Prof. J. M. Codwell has retired as Business Manager of the Western Star, Huston Tex. and Rev. F. L. Lights has assumed control of the paper. The Pennsylvania Baptist Convention at its recent session in Philadelphia decided to establish an institution for theological and industrial training at Downington Pa. Success in the practical affairs of life depends upon temperment more than upon talent, for decision, courage, industry and perseverance are tempermental. --- Colored agents, teachers and preachers, to write sick and accident insurance.

Address, Dr. H.W. Conrad, Drake Building, Guthrie, Oklahoma. The Baptist Record comes to our sanctum this week from Richmond Va, edited by Rev. Z. D Lees D D It is entirely home print as it should be and is a bright and readable journal both mechanically and editorially. While no announcement is made to that effect it seems to be taking the place of the Virginia Baptist recently suspended. --- The Court of sessions at Lancaster S. C. adjourned in respect to the memory of the late Bishop I. C. Clinton of the A.M.E Z. church, a negro whose ministry dates back fifty years and who preached when a slave. The motion was made by the oldest member of the Lancaster bar, and tributes were paid by other members and by Judge Watts who was presiding. Miss Hazel Harrison a bright young colored women of Laporte Ind who recently appeared in concert with the celebrated Patrinarmonic Orchestra of Berlin is the first member of her race to appear on the exclusive German concert stage. She is a pianist of enricent ability and is earning a fine reputation as a musician. It is probable that the White Baptist Convention of Ohio and the American Baptist Home Mission Society will cooperate with the Colored Baptist Convention of Ohio in Mission work among the colored people of that state. Such a plan was submitted at the Akron meeting and a committee was appointed with power to act. There are or ought to be, laws in every State equal to the swift and stern punishment of every criminal white or black. The political leader who suggests or advises the setting aside of law for lawlessness to punish crime is an incendiary and an anarchist. It is he and such like who create conditions making lynching so deplorably common. Inciters to lynching are as guilty as lynchers themselves. -Louisville Herald --- The Baptists in Kentucky will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Dr. Purce's Presidency of the State University in November.

We learn from Chronicles that the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had done much injury to the temple besides taking out its vessel of gold and silver and giving them to Baal. King Joash, or Jehoash, his name is spelled both ways, had the repair of these injuries greatly at heart, and he gathered the priests together in a meeting. Verse 4. Jehosh makes a speech to the assembled priests. He designates three kinds of money which were to be reserved for repairs and not used in the regular temple service. "The money of every that vccount."—Whenever a census was taken every man over twenty was required to pay a poll tax of half a shekel (Rx. 30:13). "The money that every man is set at."—This was the redemption money made to redeem the first born. "And all money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the Lord."—All the free will offerings which were made in money "Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance."—In Chronicles we are told that the collections were taken in all the cities each priest taking it thus where he lived and was known. But it was so that in three and twentieth year of King Joash, the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house."—We are not told in what year the king gathered the priests together and ordered the collection, bidding them hasten, but it is evident he had given them sufficient time. The priests may have found that the money received from these three sources was such a large part of the total received, their own support would have been scanty had they used it in repairs. At any rate they lacked energy in their work and the king took it into his own hands. "Why repair we not the breeches of the house?"—he asked of the aged high priest and the others. "Now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breeches of the house."—"That is, the money for the care and repair of the temple. Hereafter that money should be kept seperate from that which belonged to the priests."—Peloubet. They were to stop taking collections in their home cities. "But Jeho-ada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it besides the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the Lord."—He did this at the king's command, we are told in Chronicles. The hole was just large enough for money and the chest was locked. The chest was in the priests court but was near the gate where the givers could see the priests put the money into it. Instead of taking the census money and the redemption money which all were required to pay, Jehoash relies on free will offerings given for the temple repairs. "And it was so that when they saw that there was much money in the chest" - Which could easilp be told by lifting in. That the king's scribe and the high priest came up." The royal secretary acted as the king's commissioner. The two weighed the money, put in bags and marked the amount on the bags. Coins were not used in the days. The gold and silver was in ingote or rings and these were weighed. "And they gave the money, being told." - that is, having been weighed and marked. "Into the hands of them that did the work, that had AMERICAN BAPTIST, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 4 1904 the oversight of the house of the Lord."—These were the officers whom Jehovada had appointed to have a general supervision of the work chap. 11:18. And they paid it out to the carpenters and builders as fast as it was needed, that is according to the work they had done. Joash did well to be persistent in having the work done, and makes the indifference and the neglect of the priests the more reprehensible. They of all men should have been more interested in the thorough repair of the building. The hewers of stone were not men in the quarries, but those who sawed up the stones on the spot into the sizes needed in the work. And for all that was laid out for the house to repair it."—In Chronicles mention is made of workers in iron and brass. Besides the natural wear and tear on the building, which had stood for 136 years, it is evident the sons of Athaliah had vented their wrath against God by wide spread havoc in the temple. Howbeit there were not made for the house of the Lord bowls of silver, snuffers, basans, trumpets, any vessels of gold or vessels of silver of the money that was brought into the house of the Lord."—The temple had been stripped of its gold and silver vessels by kings when the money was needed to buy off their conquerors. Rehoboam had thus satisfied Sheskak and Asa had Benhadad. But the people had been asked for a contribution for repairing the temple, and Jehoida and Joash acted uncrably in using the money for no other purpose, no matter how good nor how much needed still all the repairs were made But Judah had responded so freely to the request for money that more was given than was needed for all the repairs. And the surplus was used afterwards for the vessels. "Moreover, they reckoned not with the men into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen; for they death faithfully."—The men who had charge of the work had been chosen by the aged high priest and they were honorable men. They did not betray the confidence which was placed in them. --- Lexington Ministers and Deacons Meeting. This body met Monday morning at Evergreen Church Members present Revs. Mayfield.

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 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 generous New ork friend.
