The American Baptist

AMERICAN BAPTIST. HAVE FAITH IN GOD. God never would send you the darkness, If He felt you could bear the light; But you would not cling to his guiding hand, If the way were always bright And you would care to walk by faith, 'Could you always walk by sight, So he sends you the blinding darkness And the furnace of seven-fold heat; 'Tis the only way, believe me, To keep you close to his feet; For it is always so easy to wander, When our lives are glad and sweet. Then nestle your hand in your Father's And sing, if you can, as you go, Your song may cheer me one behind you Whose courage is sluing low; And e'en if your ips do quiver— God will love you the better so. —Selected.

There are four young mer, direct from Africa, in your own State University all resorted to the church to be entertained by the Sunday School. In the programme the writer was down for the Thanksgiving Sermon. The success was delightful and the Sunday SchoI realized about $15.00 for their work. On the whole it was a great day with us. While the people were so highly elated we done some work for State University our report is in the hands of Dr. Purce. After the second Sunday in December 1904 we will go into our winter quarters.

I have to my credit 3 preschools that I baptised who are honored with the high sounding title of Doctor of Divinity viz.: Bates, Harris and Lindsay. This is too long. One Hundred Ten Poor Children Fea and Made Happy. In view of the fact, that there were many homes all over this country where sumptuous feasts were spread Thanksgiving and realizing there were many poor, especially poor children, who were without food, even bread, over which to give thanks, the Woman's industrial Club sent out a letter to a number of friends soliciting donations of provision, with which to give a dinner to such poor children as we could reach. Our request was given a hearty response and as a consequence 110 children were fed and made happy, and their happiness made us glad, despite the effort it cost us. The donations are as follows: corn and tomatoes—Miss Ella Scott, Mrs. Susie Howard, Mrs. Wm. Brown, Mrs. Lizzie Parker, Miss Estella Carter, Mrs. Edwina Thomas, Mrs. Ethel Drake, Mr. Warfield Carpenter, Mrs. W. H. Perry, Mrs. A. P.

There's no telling what a sore throat will do if you give it "right of way". Uncertain remedies often cause dangerous delay. Make a cure sure with Painkiller, known for half a century as a specific for sore throat, group, coughs, and all kindred troubles. Keep it by you for an emergency. It never fails.

We left our home Monday Nov. 14th and reached the above named place at 8 o'clock p.m. We were met by Rev. C.C. Golns and were then carried to his cosy home, where we met sister Golns, who welcomed us to their hospitality. Sister Golns is indeed a noble Christian woman and worker for Christ's cause. After we had refreshed ourselves we were accompanied by Rev. Golns and wife to the house of worship where we met a noble hand of faithful Christian workers waiting patiently our arrival. TO KENTUCKY BAPTISTS. Beloved:—We are hearing Christmas the supposed birth day of our Lord. Christmas is observed as a day of good cheer, spreading joyful news to dependent and bleeding hearts about us and to those far away. The Foreign Mission Board has been here in your midst for nine years. Whatever reputation Negro Baptists have for world-wide missions, they have made, with Louisville, Ky., as headquarters. There are four young mer, direct from Africa, in your own State University. They have been there since school opened and I have paid Dr. Purce only $6.00 on their tuition. These young men are given to you by their parents in far off Africa for Christian training. I went to an expense of $0.00 for printing and postage, urging Kentucky pastors to take an after collection that I pay Dr. Purce, and only bredren, Revs. H. C. Purpin, C. C. Goins, D. A. Gaddie, Wm. H. Leavell, E. P. Marrs, W. E. Glover, W. Augustus Jones, and —Hall, responded. When I offered to take the young men out for some concerts to raise the money that Dr. Purce might not carry all the burdens the following i. a letter from a Baptist pastor, acting on the vote of officers of a Baptist church: "_____, Ky., Nov. 30, 1904. "Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D." "Your letter and contents noted with care I put it before the officers. The church has a standing rule that one half of proceeds must be given to the church and they will make you no exception. If you wish to come under these terms you can do so. You are to furnish tickets and bills." What is to become of these students if all Baptists treat them this way? What is the matter with such Baptist churches? How will our Lord deal with such anti missionary people? I am heart sore over the heartlessness of many who seem to be in our Baptist churches for what they can get out of them. Now Brother Pastor, if you will not give an after offering, will not help Darkest Africa, do not intend obeying the Great Shepherd, whose flock you are pastoring or fleeing, in fact, if you are a real missionary Baptist and not a time server do write me what to do in this crisis. Read the Herald carefully and if you can do anything write me. Write me something before you sleep again. 726 W. Walnut st., Louisville, Ky. FOR OVER SIXTY YEARS.

Thanksgiving Day was a great day with the Pilgrim Baptist church at Midway, Ky. We had just closed a two weeks meeting with quite a success. We had 14 happy converts to the Christain faith so on Thanksgiving Day we went to the water by order of the church and administered the ordinance of Baptism, Rev. Edward Board presented them to the Lord in baptism. The long drouth caused us to change the order of our prayers to some extent. We have been praying for the good Lord to send more laborers into the vineyard, but now we are praying for more we ar to be sent in this part of the land. We had the help of the R-v. John Henderson of Lexington, who is a great favorite with our church. Both saints and saints commended his independence in defending our God's words doing the work whereunto he is sent. He is one of those evangelists who do not disgrace the words of our Master by to hoodwinking and tricking people into the church. He seems to impress one that he has staked all of his usefulness on the Apostles instruction to Timothy, when he said to him: "Preach the wizard." In order to show him there was appreciation to his services, on the last night of our meeting a goodly number of the members gave him a surprise to rejoice the heart of sister Henderson.

The students, teachers and friends collected and gave on that day three hundred and seventy-five dollars. Since that report the amount has passed the four hundred dollar mark. Teach a a students rallied nobly. While the one thousand dollar mark was not reached enough was done to snow that the institution lives in the hearts of her jewels. Deacon H. C. Haley and family were with us Sunday evening, he also states that his vacation will allow him to be with us next Sunday. Dr. Purce preached the sermon last Sunday morning for Dr. Parrish at the reopening of Calvary. Everybody seems delighted with the sermon. Calvary never looked so beautiful before. Everybody is praising Calvary and the improvements. Mr H. B. Britt as leader of the choir at Calvary and solo singing is winning for himself a name in the musical world. On account of the illness of Mr. W. H. steward Sunday, Miss Vernetta Anderson presided at the organ instead of Mrs. Steward. We hope for Mr. Steward a speedy recovery. Mrs. Rev. R. H. C. Mitchell while on her way to Chicago, spent few hours at the University visiting her son and friend. Her short stay was enjoyed by all. She is all sunshine and love. The young laies and most of the young men atted Calvary Sunday morning to witness the reopening. Dr. and Mrs. Parrish honored the anniversaries by presenting a set of three electric bells to the University. They may be called "The Parrish Chimes." Toey run from the President's office to the chapel, the Prof. bed room in the boy's dormitory, and the matron's room in the girl's dormitory thus saving the President many steps.

A case of peculiar interest was tried in this city last week when a white property owner attempted to evade a specific contract to sell a peice of property to a purchaser, because at the time he made the contract, he did not know that the party was a colored man and that had he been in possession of that information he would not have made the contract. The Court held that such a reason for not complying with a specific contract was invalid and that such a reason was not sufficient in the absence of other and more consistent ones. Or in other words that the color of a man could not be advanced as a sufficient cause for failure to carry out an agreement. Perhaps the sentiment behind this contention does much to operate against the advancement of the race, for it prevents many a colored man from removing from congested and immoral districts. With the hope of placing his family under more helpful and encourage invirments, but persistence as we displayed in this case will have wholesome effect and will give press encouragement to endeavor to elevate the race by securing his Christ in more healthful and helpful opportunities away from the slums of cities, despite the hinderances which are so frequently placed in the way. THE decision of the Court of Appeals, in accord with precedents formerly laid down, ordering the votes of the two precincts in the Ninth District cast for Judge Bennett the Republican candidate for Congress to be counted for him gives satisfaction to all good citizens who want an honest vote and an honest counting of votes at elections. There was no charge of fraud for all admitted that the votes were cast for Judge Bennett, but were simply omitted from the count because of the carelessness or negligence of the election officers. These officers were willing to remedy the error but the County Commissioners would not permit it because that would elect a Republican instead of a Democratic Congressman from the district. The Court of Appeals which is Democratic took a different view of the question and ordered the votes to be counted. The court knew that this decision would change the result of the election, but it is right and the right must prevail. Such decisions give the people a higher regard for the law and the courts and gives the assurance that their property and their rights are safe and will be sacredly guarded THERE are some things about the Southern people hard to understand and whose ways are past finding out. During the campaign they were denouncing Preside.nt Roosevelt about his attitude on the race question and in this way aroused the little enthusiasm that was displayed in that section in the Presidential election. Now they are vieing with each other in their effort to induce him to visit the South at an AMERICAN BAPTIST DECEMBER 9 1904 early date and are arranging to give him a hearty aud elaborate welcome. Several large cities have already extended invitations and others are to follow. This is a fitting and appropriate ting to do and as the President has not changed his views upon any of these questions it is hoped that the South is now willing to reconize his position of being the President of all the people. --- We seldom have anything to say in these columns about our affairs and yet this is perhaps the most economical way of reaching our readers. In putting in a new press and a new engine some time ago we were compelled to contract a large debt which we have beeo unable to pay on account of slow collections. Our subscribers who are in arrears could greatly overcome by kindly remitting the amount due this office.

The long drouth almost unprecedented in this state was broken last Saturday by rains from the Big Sandy to the Tennessee line and while not copions and sufficient they did much to lesson the suffering which the farmers especially have endured for months. Every green thing had withered and ponds, springs and streams everywhere were dry and the outlook was very discouraging. Railroads were hauling water to supply engines and in some cases were even supplying water for some small towns. Farmers drove stock miles to water and in some cases had to dispose of preaching for us during the three weeks that he was with us by church would do well to have with them when they war teaching done and their church lived and sinners broughtrist.

All the addresses were pointed and full of interest and gave not only encouragement but inspiration to the work. After a closing anthem by the choir the benediction was pronounced by Rev C. C. Bates, D. D. THE BANOUET. The Board of Managers of the B. W. E. Convention had charge of this magnificent affair which took place in the chapel of State University Friday evening, Dec. 2nd, in honor of the tenth anniversary of the Presidency of Dr. C. L. Purce. The chapel had been beautifully decorated with ferns and the colors of the University—old gold and crimson. Covers had been laid for three hundred guests and the tables were things of beauty and everywhere could be seen old gold and crimson which were the predominating colors. After an hour in congratulations and social conversation the guests were seated and grace said by Rev. G, W. Ward, Moderator of General Association. Mrs. M, E. Steward as Toast Mistress made the introductory remarks and pleasantly introduced the speakers of the evening who spoke as they ate. Toasts were responded to by Revs. C. H. Parrish and G. W. Ward; Drs. F. G. Fowler, C, W. Houser, and W. H. Pickett, Miss L. C. Crittenden, Mrs. E. K. Thomas, Mrs. L. M. Jackson and Mr. W. H. Steward. The speakers represented the difenterprises especially in which Dr. Purce was Associated and the subjects were ingeniously wrought out of the initials of the speakers names Mr H. C. Logan also rendered an enjoyable Bass Solo during the exercises. Some surprises were the presentation of a handsome watch charm by the members of the Board of Managers in a short address by Mrs C, H. Parrish; a pair of gold sleeve buttons in behalf of the members of Trustees in a few words by its Chairman Mr W. H. Steward and last but not least, a system of electric bells for the Presidents office by Dr. C. H. Parrish. Dr. Purce responded in a most impressive and earnest manner to the several addresses and thanked all for their sentiments and gifts, His merited tribute to Mrs Purce who sat at his side will not be forgotten by those who heard it. After the usual exchange of courtesies the anniversary was at an end and it was a most successful affair. The members of the Board of Managers deserve unstinted credit for planning and serving the banquet.

Our church is doing nicely both spiritually and financi- ally, considering our environments.

Clark is a fine gos- pel preacher and he did some excel lent preaching for vs during the three weeks that he was with us. Any church wouldydo well to have aim with them when they want preaching done and their church revived and sinners brought to Christ. May he live Jong and do much good.
