AMERICAN BAPTIST. VO . XXVI. NO XLV Up from slavery on 14 at h. house zero, With his brawny arm x h, Dermant brain athirst for Not allowed to swell and think. The own upon his own resources, Loused as a vipious snake; Not a friend to bid him welcome, Far himself untaught to think. Up from slavery came the Negro, Whence hunted with the blooded hound, Lashed until the crimson fluid, Cried for justice from the ground O! what a lowly mark of pity Must have been the sons of Ham, When they merged from chains of bondage, In this, God's freedom land. Up from slavery is the Negro, In the congress hall of brain, Coping with the famed and famous' With ability not ashamed. Abreast he'll keep with the world's march onward, A component part of her upward glide. Till she forgets that the Negro was ever Up from slavery. —Composed by Jesse Merchant, 1215 Jackson st., Louisville, Ky. Vagaries of a Cold. You can never be quiet sure where a cold is going to hit you. In the fall and winter it may settle in the bowels, producing severe pain. Do not be alarmed or torment yourself with fears of appenditis. At the first sign of a cramp take Perry Davis, Palnkiller in warm sweetened water and relief comes at once. There is but one Palnkiller Perry Davis' 25 and 50 cents. How Pastor Bigbee Spent His Vacation. Please allow me space in your paper which has such a wide circulation to say a few words about my vacation which was granted me by my church. On the 18th of October I boarded the train for Jedison, Tenn., where I met the London Disrict Association and spent three days with that body. After noon Thursday they suspended the rule and told me to presh them a sermon which was apparently enjoyed by the entire body, so much so that they again suspended the rule and in appreciation of the sermon made me a life member of the Association, for which your humble servant feels proud. I also spoke to them relative to the next session of General Association and they assured me that they would do more for educational and Missionary work this year than ever before. They consider it quite a treat to have one of the assistant moderators of the General Association of Kentucky Baptists with them and they showed it by their actions. On the 16th I went to Lexington, Ky., and spent three pleasant days in the Bluegrass City and heard an excellent sermon on Sunday morning from Rev. Dr. Frye pastor of the Main Street Baptist church. On the 19th I took the train for the Falls City there I joined the company of my wife who had been spending a couple of weeks with my brother. She and I spent three pleasant evenings with Reve. W. A. Jones and G. W. T. Russell. I also attended the Ad Dil trict Association which convened at Rev. Russell's church and preached a sermon for them and gave them a talk on his work of the General Association, I also became member of that body. They had quite a successul session and raised quite a neat sum of money for educational and missionary work. Tuesday eve the 27th Rev Russell and his congregation gave a reception in honor of my election as assistant moderator of the General Association. The reception was gotten up by Rev. Mrs. Russell and quite a number of influential members of the Mount Olive Baptist church and quite a number of city pastors were present and participated. Dr. E. P. Marrs acted as toastmaster while Drs. Frank, Reynolda, Richardson, Craighold Bates and others made short addresses and spoke of pastor Russell and what he had accomplished for the denomination. On Wednesday the 28th Rev. Wm. Johnson and his good wife gave a dinner also, in honor of your humble servant while many of the city pastors were also present at this feast, and I must say it was the first ministerial stag feast I ever witnessed. I must give the Falls City ministers credit for their cordial way in which they entertained me. There seems to exist with the pastors of Louville a unity that did exist here in our city at the setting of the last General Association: I am proud to say that when we shall convene in the city of Louisville in Dr. Bates' beautiful church in a general session, instead of raising $2,000.00 we will raise for the Baptist cause and State University $5,000.00. I ask the pravers of the Baptist family for my success to continue in the future as it has in the past. C. P. M. BIGEE. Pastor Broadway Baptist Church. Winchester, Ky.

WHO WILL HELP On October 22nd we sent a letter to every Kentucky pastor, asking for any little offering to help in paying the schooling of our four African students now in State University in this city. Rev. C. C. Goins, of Nicholasville, that friend of God and Africa was the first to respond, with $1.00. And a second letter is from brother Turpin, of Middleboro, Ky. In this letter he says, "In reading your letter I thought what a determination to find light, these African children must have had, to leave their homes and cross the ocean, which puts them 11,000 miles from their parents and friends. Surely they show greater zeal than any of us in this land. God bless you. Our Board is very grateful to Fifth Street, Ninth Street, and Virginia Ave. churches for towels, bedding and other necessary things for our students. They have come 11,000 miles from their homes in long-wronged and outraged Africa, in search of religious training. Baptists, are our principles of doctrine worth sendiog to Africa. Then train these men and return them to Africa. We shall report the result of our appeal through the American Baptist and our denominational papers. Lend a hand brethren. Yours in His Name L. G.

LOUISVILLE, KY., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1904 WOMEN'S WORK Owing to a greatly delayed train we did not reach Greensburg until 10:45 p.m., too late for service. It was our first trip to this point, found no one to meet us, a strange man who was a passenger on the same train consented to take us to the home of Rev. Brown, to whom we had written but who had failed to receive our communication. Groping through the curbries over roads and hills, we finally reached our destination, knocking at the doors we were kindly received by sister Brown into our most comfortable home where we we glad to rest our weary need, sorry to find Bro. brown away, we can never forget this trip. At 2 o'clock, accompanied by mother Brown, we were off for the station, where we left on the train for Campbellsville. Here we found Robinson's circus town with their tents pitched within stones throw of the church. We realized at once that we would be unable to fill appointment and we went at once to the name of sister Josie Lewis who received us kindly, her pleasant daughter, Ethel, added; much to the pleasure of our stay. After enjoying a hearty supper we called to see sisters Philipot and Buckner, both active members of our Society. At 6:45 a.m., we were off for Lebanon, found our baggege had been missent to Baltimore, while we held check for a handsome large zinc trunk that should have gone to Baltimore instead. Bro. Frank White met and took us to his inviting name where dear sister White assured her wardrobe throughout to find a waist large enough for us, finally succeeded by letting out pleats and pinning up seams. That was indeed a miserable day in Lebanon—was afraid to laugh or sing the waist was so tight. Visited Sunday School of First church taught Bibie class and was afterwards introduced by Superintendent White, a collection of $1.00 was given for our work. Remained to morning service and pastor Brown preached a soul stirring sermon.

We soon reached her comfortable home where we were welcomed by dear sister Logan and the children. At 8 p.m. we were off church where we found a faithful few assembled. Bro. Logan conducted devotional exercises afterwards introduced us to the audience, ere we had finished our talk a collection of $1.10 was given us, of this amount the following gersons gave 25 cents each Brethren Henry Spencer, Cay Logan, Lud Logan sister Lydia Wallace. Somerset was the next point to be visited, 'uroute to Greensburg we mei Rev. W. H. Williams on the train and at his request we deferred our visit to a future date. Returning to Danville on Tuesday we were entertained in the comfortable home of Rev. and Mr. J. E. W. who always welcome us to enter hospitality, called in the afternoon to see a number of friends and at 8 p. m., in company with sisters Fannie Wood and Millie Thomas we visited the New Mission church of which Rev. Wulfce Fisher is pastor. It was prayer meeting night and all entered heartily into the services, after which Rev. Fisher then invited us to say a few words in regard to our work. 60 cents was given to same and noodle activation extended to return again at a more convenient se son. On Wed- nesday night we held an appointment again for Perryville but owing to the terrific rain storm which e. sued we were unable to fill appointment. Tues- day night we should have fill appointment at Stanford but at the suggestion of friends decided to return to Lebanon in search of not baggage we would, writing dear sister Baughman at Stanford the cause. We left Lebanon Friday at 10 a.m. for Lancaster, here we found dear sister Jennie Jeannie awealing us as faithful as ever. A de- layed train had kept us on the road nearly all day and we were so ill that Dr. Johnson was summoned at one at 8:30 p.m. we were off for church where a noble band of Christian Women joined us. the beloved pastor Rev. J. B. Miller was absent but had announced our coming. We were ably assisted in the meeting by our own de- signers Jennings and Muller. A co- lection of $180 was given for our work. Sisters Sarah B, Miller, Charity Hytt, Hannah Jennings contributed 26 cents each.

Early in the morning Mrs. Miller called in her carriage and took us to her pleasant home, where with sisters Jennings and Deney a most enjoyable time was had At 3 p.m. we were off for Richmond, resaching this point we found Dr. T.

It is Easy to Say "Be careful," but we must all go from heated houses into chilled air, and the change sees us coughing and wheezing. Avoiding winter colds is difficult; curing them is no hard if you take Allen's Lung Balsam. Better begin when the cold is young and not wait until it cottles deep into the lungs, for then, even with Allen's Lung Balsam, complete relief will ue slower. We have just closed a successful meeting of 15 days with the Baptist church at Mortonville, Ry.. resulting in 28 additions, 23 by baptism and five restored. The drouth has been so very severe in our part of the land that it made the question of finding much water or water sufficient for baptism in the way our Lord and Master has commanded, a very great problem to solve. Although the Kentucky river wastes the shores of the county from South to West, but the four miles distant to get there made it look quite troublesome to go. But as the old proverb goes, "some how or other the Lord will pro- vide." So Mr. George Davis (white) who is now the owner of the pond on the bill where we have been baptising for 82 years had it cleaned on one side and run all of the surplus water into one place making a very nice little pool which answerer for the purpose of putting them out of sight. To Mr. Davis we are very grateful for his kindness, may he live long and do good for the Master's cause. The church was very greatly revived both spiritually and financially. We were blessed with the services of Rev. Thos. Byrne of Fort Springs. He is quite an impressive speaker. To place this young man properly betrothen to that they may have some idea as to his worth and power in a meeting I will have to draw on two of our leading divines in Kentucky for me he appears to be a combination of the two. One is Rev. C. C. Bates, D. D., pastor of the Lampton Baptist church Louisville. In appearance he resembles Dr. Eater. Then that earnestness that is characteristic of Dr. Eates is found in aim to a great degree. The second is the Rev. J. H. Frank, D. D., of the Fifth Street Baptist church, Louisville, so you have him. Now you who know the two divines mentioned will be bound to draw this conclusion of Drs. Bates and Frank is a power in the camp of the wicked in bringing the victory to our Master's glory. Now you have him as he impressed me. Call on him. Mortonville is alright. J. K. POLK THE B. Y. P. U. WORK To the Pastors and President of the B. Y. P. U. of the State of Kentucky. Dear Brettbren:—At our meeting held in Winchester at the First Baptist church, Rey. B. T. Huffman, pastor. We found after deep and thorough searching that the Unions was in debt to Rev. G. W. Hampton, the State Organizer, the sum of $120.00. At our last Board meeting held at the above name place in Broadway Baptist church Rev. Hampton agreed to give the Union one-half of this amount if we would make an effort to pay him in a reasonable time. I was requested to appeal to the several Unions throughout the State asking you to oonate as much as you possibly could over $1.00. I trust the secretary of the city union, Mr. Carter, will take notice and call a mass-meeting of the Union and together with the chairman, Mrs. W. M. Parker, see what can be done toward this matter. I trust every pastor will accept this open letter and feel as duty bound to help as if I had called in person. We anxious that this be a year of doing good and helping others to help themselves. The Moderator of the General Association, Rev. G. W. Ward, D. D., of Covington is with us and is one of us and he will do all in his power to help the good work on. This organization should be in every church. It tends to lift the young people and help them to read and understand the Bible, The Book of books.' We have in the field an energetic young man in the person of Rev. D. P. Jones, of Nicholasville. Any person may become a life member upon payment of $1.00 or an annual member upon payment of 25 cents. Send your name and money to the secretary and receive credit for the same. In the near future we will publish the names of the members. Yours in the Work, MATTIE V. DUFF. Cor. Sec'y of B. Y. P U Somers-t, Ky. A Good Meeting with the "N" Street Baptist Churca. Pleas allow me space in your paper to speak of the glorious meeting at the above named church and also to thank them for their kind treatment to me while in their services. I found the church with a small membership, but earnest and faithful hearts and loyalty to Christ and his work. We began the work with faith and earnest desire and by the help of the Holy Spirit and the faithful few and the assistance of other members of the sister churches. We opened fire on the devil's camp, we closed with 38 additions and 16 were baptized by the pastor. We left the church full of life and a strong set of young people to carry on the good work. At the close of the meeting the converts presented me a nice pair of shoes and the older members a fine hat. This little church paid me for three weeks' service $35.0. I ask the blessing of God upon this church and its pastor. The pastor and members both are young and need the prayers and encouragement of the Baptists of Lour- ESTABLISHED 1879 ville. I only wish I had space to memtion all who gave me something for my service and labor. I am under many obligation to the pastor Rev. T. J. Lewis his church and their friends for their kindness to me. Respectfully, P. H. CLARK. London, Ky. A Thousand Women on their Knees. Thursday November 24th will be Thanksgiving Day. At twelve o'clock sharp we will ask one thousand women to fish on their knees where we they ate and offer a Prayer of Thanksgiving to the Anguity God for the word fruit growth of our missionary work at home and abroad. Pray for our missionaries on the field who will not have a sumptuous feast on that day and ask God to turn every sacrifice they make for the cause into a soul saved for eternity. Will you join us in the prayer? We hope to make this the largest prayer-meetin' ever held by women since the world began. A Thanks offering, however small, sent us will be appreciated and used in sending the gospel to those who have it not. Yours for the highest development of Christian womanhood. NANNIE H. BURROUGHS.

Never have our people, of al shades of opinion, been more m terested in the results of'an electior than they were of that of last Tues: day and never have results ben more assuring and_ satisfactory. Without regard to political affiha- tion or conditi n they were unanr- mous in supporting the candidacy of Theod ore Roosevelt and it is safe to say that no candidate ever re- ceived more loyal support than they accorded to him tor it was the con sensus of opinion that his election meant more to them than the elec- tion of any previous candidate for that exalted position. His election was a victory of justice over injus- tice, a victory of law over lawless- ness, a victory of mght over wrong, and every colored man felt a per- Sonal interest in the contest «md gave his influence and vote to se- cure this result.

According to the census the colored people are about one fifth of the entire popu- Jat net the city and under usual conditions the birth rate ond death rate should be abont one fifth of the birth and death rate, but instead of that the birth rate is lower and the death rate is higher almost every week Take the October report for instance which was an unusual- ly healthy month and there were 239 deaths. There should have been acccrding to the proportion of population only 48 deaths among the colored people, but instead, there were 67 There were 393 births of which number there were only 19 colored, when there should have been 59. This increase in the death rate and decrease in the birth rate may be explained, but as the lew is the same in both cases we are at a loss to understand the discrepancy. It 1s a very impor- tant matter and those interested will find a fine field for investigating a subject that is of material interest to the race.

Motto Texi—'*Cvase to do evil, learn to do well” Isa 1:16 ee ee ee ee ee ee tee esied in Jerusalem {cr more than forty years. He began in the reign of Uzziah, in which both Judah and Israel were at the height of pros- perity. Israel was ruled by the great Jeroboam 11, by tar the greatest of the kings who ruled in the northern kingdom Uzziah and Jeroboam had extended their kingdoms till the two embraced all the kingdom of David Wealth increased greatly, and the woridly prosperity was equal to that of the golden days of Solomon. But the usual consequen- ces followed the great prosperity. Jeshurem waxed fat and kicked. The people in their pursuit of riches forgot God. The vices of prosperity ran rampant, as is shown in the burning words of Hosea. And the punishment of their corruption, drunkeness and debauchery came upon them The Assyrians began to invade and cut them short. The great harvests ceased and their crops were scanty. Suffering and poverty followed their prosperity. Prophets thundered the denuncia- tion of thcir sins. The days before their punishment came were very much times as this country has had the last few years. And our devo- tion to material things and forget- fulness of God has been as marked. It 18 well to study the punishment of Judah. “Hear, O heavens, and give car, Ocarth,” Weil might the heavens and earth be astonished at such perevrse conduct of the people who had been blessed by God. *'/ have nourished and brought up childien, and they have rebelled against me.” They refused to obey his command- ments, they even worshipped false gods, yet God had done so much for them. ‘The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's ertb.” —Even dumb animals showed mre com mon sense To put the sin of Judah on the lowest grounds 1t was against their own interests, Why could they not have as much sense as the ox and realize this? ‘ut /sraed doth not know, my people doth not consider”~ Like sinners of all gen- erations. The folly ofsin is as great as its wickedness ‘Ah sinful nation, a people laden iniquity’’ Weighed down with sin guilty beyond any words at Isaiah's command “A seed of evil doers; children that are corrupters.” Their fathers had been evil-doers, they are worse. They not on y did wrong but they Jed others into sin. This is the worst of villianies, for a man to sin is human, «las! to attempt others to sin 1s devilish. “*7key have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel to ‘anger."—They not only forsaken the God, but they were defiant of their wickedness Look at our cities today read the awful accounts ot the corruptions which were tound in Washington City last year, and consider if Isaiah's words might not have been written of this country. “They have gone away backward” —They were very prosp: rous. and boasted the ‘‘progr-ss’’ their coun- try had made; But what is wealth when men and morals decay? What shail it profit a nation if it gin the whole world and lose its own soul? The punishment had come, sure andswilt, They had suffered greatly from the incursion of the ss) rians from plague, from faminine, &c. “Why should ye be striken any more? ye will revolt more and more.” — God hud chastisedthem sorely. Isaish asks despairingly what was the use of it? Thesevererthe cnas | AV TUR RAPT, , RODAY NOVEMBER ll 1904 them to repentance. What was to be done with such a people? ‘The last clause of verse 5 and verses 6 and 7 refer to the chastise- ments of God. He had beaten them with rods on all parts of the body. There was no fresh place for him to strike The severest chastisements of all kinds known among men had fallen on them repeatedly. God had tried every thing; if they continued in their sins there was nothing left but to sweep the ten tribes off he land, and this God at last did during the life time of Isaiah. Do not for- get that all these punisinents were sent in love and mercy to win them from their sins. “And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as @ lodge ina garden of cucumbers as city.” —Zion was one of the hills on which Jerusalem was built, and the name is used for the city. A small cottage was built in the vineyard in which a watchman stayed during the tim2 of the vintage. When that was ended the cottage was left, and standing empty in the midst cf the bare vines it was a picture of deso- lation, Cucumbers were largely raised as a food ior the pocr, and a temporary structure even less than the cottage of the vineyards, was built in the gardens. There is noth ing more barren and desolate than such a garden when the cucumbers had been gathered and the vines were dead “Except the Lord of host had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom" —God does not leave him- self without witness, For the elect’s sake a guilty country is spared; ten righteous men would have saved Sodom. Isaiah reminds his people in these words what may be their fate when God's patience is exhaus- ted. They had suffered much; they had not yet been destroyed. Let them beware, In the verses which are omitted from the lesson, the people made efforts to recover the favor of God, but they were wrong efforts. Thev gave money freely for sacrifices. They observed the outward cere- monies of the religion, but they continued in their sins. To give money and to observe rituals is very easy for fallen human nature, Isaiah told them what to do. ‘Wash you, make you clan; put away the evil of your doings, from before mine eyes.” —That was what God equired. We know that the only way to was away sin is in the atoning blood of Christ. ‘ Cease to do etl, learu to do well.”"—It will be a work of difficulty for evil doers to learn to do well, The prophet goes on to tell some of the things they must learn to do ‘'Seek the judgement’ —In everything endeav- or to be just. Justice is the founda- tien of all the great virtues. ‘*Re- leive the oppressed, judge the fath- erless, plead for the widow "—Jus- tice must precede mercy—there can be no true mercy without it. Wi- dows and orphans are especial objects of God's care. “Come now and let us reason to- gether.” —Religion is a reasonable thing. “Though your sins be of scarlet, they shall be white as snow - What a glorious promise to sin- men! But the forgiveness of their sins would not free them from the duty of obedience to God. Nay verily, it would give them the spirit of obedience which would make them delight in doing the will of God, I#PORTANT NOTICE The Ministers’ and§ Deacons Meeting of the Green River Valley Association will meet with the Bap. tist Church at McHenry Mines on Uhursday before the fourth Lord’s Day in November 1904.
