THE AFRICAN MERIGAN LEDGER. VOL. XVIII. NO. 36. COMMENCEMENT WEEK AT WILBERFORCE PROMINENT MINISTERS AND LAYMEN PRESENT FROM ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTRY Wilberforce A Community Within Itself—A Number Of Prominent Clergymen And Others Live Within This Charmed Circle—A Regular Established Military Department There—Dr. J. T. Jenifer, One Of The First Graduates Of The Institution. (Staff Correspondence.) Wilberforce, Ohio, June 11.—This is commencement week, when the efforts of the year past, in all the departments are closing with examinations, society exercises, orations and awarding diplomas. Wilberforce, as a village community presents an air of thrift, Christian morality and culture; nature has in its efforts in producing attractiveness, bestowed upon Wilberforce University proper and its surroundings, it$^8$ rarest gifts of health, romantic scenery and beauty. The University proper, including the classical Payne Theological Seminary, Rev. George A. Woodon, Dean, and the combined Normal and Industrial departments, the latter sustained by the State of Ohio, all under the scholar and widely known author and writer, W. S. Scarborough, LL D. as president, is evidencing advancement, solidarity and promise. Since Wilberforce University, the parent of Negro effort for the higher scholastic, as well as for the industrial training of the Negro youth stands for so much in the solution of the so termed race problem, we know of no cause or place where a gift of $250,000 would be of more benefit, and produce more beneficial results than its bestowment upon Wilberforce as an endowment fund. Wilberforce needs money; she stands for too much, and is too old to be doing work and inefficient work; its instructors and faculties under properly qualified executive forces that constitute strong and efficient colleges; hence hovies are but little use for professors in such schools, but to obtain strong and mature instructors there must be funds to pay them in inducements to carry. There is at Wilberforce also a regular established U. S. Military Department under the command of First Lieutenant J. E. Green, 25th Infantry U. S. A. Chaplain W. T. Anderson, retired, with rank of Major; Chaplain T. G. Steward, retired, have settled here, also Captain Charles, Young, Major of Volunteers; Lieutenant B. O. Davis, now in Liberia, on State duty, have property here which gives Wilberforce quite a military air. Chaplain George W. Prealan, of the 9th Cavalry, preaches the baccalaureate sermon this year. As usual, on occasions, there are a number of visitors here including trustees, from all parts of the A. M.E. Conference with the Bishops who had their semi-annual council at Wilberforce. Thursday, June 16, a number from each department will graduate who, with others, will receive honorary degrees. The programme for commencement exercises will begin Thursday night with an address before the religious Societies of the University by Dr. J. T. Jenifer, class of 1870, subject: The Genius of Christianity as Seen in the Work of Social and Civic Bettermort. Dr. L.-H. Welch of the class of 1870 preaches the annual sermon to the University Sunday, June 12th.

Chestertown, Md., June 14—Grand Chancellor George A Watty, of the Maryland Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, paid his annual visit to Friendship Lodge, of this city. Never in the history of Pythianism in this city had the member of the order been more enthusiastic in their reception of a Grand Chancellor, and the large number, who turned out were more than repaid by the splendid address delivered by Sir Watty. For over one hour and a half the members were held spellbound while the ideals of Damon and Pythias were explained to them. Sir Watty said that these ideals should not only be kept in mind during hours in the lodge-room, but should be made ue of at all times and with all mankind.

Cambridge, Md., June 16—In the election for members to the Town Council, ves'erday, Neemiah Henry defeated Charles J. Webb by 73 voes. Mr. Henry is a successful grocer and at one time was a member of the local police force.

Mannadier St. Clair, having hell the position for the past four years and the defeated candidate, Charles J. Webb, was Mr. St. Clair's predecessor.

Burcau of The Afro-American Ledger 1918 11th St., N. W. Washington, D. C., June 15—Rumor has it that Dr. Ernest Lyon, the retiring Minister to Liberia, will start an industrial school in Maryland, modeled after Tuskegee, dividing his time between educational work and service in the pulpit of the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Ellis who is spending the month in Washington, is studying out some plans for the future.

CRUM WILL SAIL FOR LIBERIA AS SOON AS HE CAN MAKE HIS ARRANGEMENTS New Minister and New Secretary of Legation - Surprise Manifested That Dr. Crum Should Make Such A Sacrifice As To Go To The Little Black Republic—Administration Paying Its Debt To Crum For Getting It Out Of A Supposedly Bad Hole. Burcau of the AFBO-AMERICAN LENOER, 1918 11th St. N. W. Washington, June 16—The nomination of Dr. William D. Crum to be Minister to Liberia, was confirmed Monday by the Senate, following a unanimous report in favor of the same from the Committee on Foreign Relations. Dr. Crum will prepare himself for the duties of his new position and will sail for Monrovia at the very earliest practicable moment. The official tenure of the present Minister, Rev. Ernest Lyon, will end upon the arrival of Dr. Crum at the Liberian capital. Mr. R. C. Bundy, the successor of Mr. George W. Ellis, as Secretary of the Legation, will remain with the new Muister. The old regime at Monrovia will pass out entirely with the next few weeks and the decks will be cleared for action with a new captain and a new mate. Dr. Loon retires with a good record as a diplomat, and Mr. Ellis will long be remembered as the man who made the office of secretary loom up as no other official has ever done before him. Both have been useful to the home government and to them belongs much of the credit for bringing the attention of the United States to the needs of the United States. Republic, to extend substantial aid and take up in earnest the work of rehabilitating the fortunes of i's failing foster-child. Some surprise is manifested that Dr. Crum should feel inclined to accept this post, but it will be, recalled that he sacrificed years of his life in servin' his party, ventured his all in the struggle to maintain his rights as Collector of Port at Charleston, and this berth is the only reward open to him at this time. It was understood that he was to have some recognition for his broad action in relieving the tense situation which the administration found on its hands in Charleston, and the complications in Liberia, forced the President his first opportunity to redeem its promise. That Dr. Crum will do well, goes without saying. He is a man of culture, of ample business experience and has had the contout with men and things that will be helpful to him as a diplomat. A happy solution of the difficult problems that just now confront the Liberian in their dealings with such eminent powers as England, France and Germany will place Dr. Crum in the foremost rank of the world's diplomats.

New York (Special).—Charles K. Hamilton arose from Governor's Island in an airplane and sped, without a break, 88 miles to Philadelphia in a remarkable cross-country flight under the auspices of the New York Times and the Philadelphia Public Ledger. He made the trip in one hour and fifty-one minutes, leaving Governor's Island at 7.35 and landing at Philadelphia at 9.26.

ENGINE RUNS INTO FUNERAL Four Persons Killed and One Fataly Hurt. Awful Castrophe At A Grade Crossing At Haverstraw, N. Y. —The Driver Lashed His Horses Frantically, But The Heavy Gates Hold Them On The Track And The Onlookers Saw The Locomotive Run The Coach Down. Haverstraw, N. Y. (Special).—Three mourners, their pastor and their driver sat in a funeral coach here and watched certain death come rushing on them at 50 miles an hour. With a screech of grinding brakes a heavy West Shore freight engine, hurrying south to pick up a freight train at Weehawken, crashed into the coach, scattering its occupants along the right of way, and came slowly to a haunt 150 yards beyond the crossing. All the occupants were either killed outright or fatally injured. The dead: Omathe, Rev. A. pastor of the New City Methodist Episcopal Church. Seifred, Mrs. E. V., New City, N. Y. Beebe, Williams, Haverstraw. Fatally injured: Kessler, Mrs. Perry, skull fractured, both legs broken and body crushed. The accident was not only unusual, but dramatic and horrifying to a degree. It happened at the foot of Graveyard Hill, in full sight of petting and grooming procession of which the wrecked coach was the first, and of the terrified and helpless, watchman. The watchman was eating a bite of luncheon in his little cabin when the tinkle of an electric bell warned him of an approaching train. Mechanically he pulled the lever that set the heavy, balanced gates in motion. Then, glancing from the open door, he saw a sight that will not be out of his dreams for many a night. Just what happened will probably never be known, but some eye witnesses say that the arms of the crossing gates, appearing, blocking after it had crossed the first two tracks and held it prisoner on the rails, while the terrified occupants sat paralyzed gazing at the crushing locomotive. The driver lashed his horses in a futile attempt to force the vehicle from the track until, with a sharp crack, the picture dissipated and it seemed as if the coach literally blew up. Fragments of splintered wood and mutilated shreds of humanity were flung far and wide. The engine stopped. There was absolute silence save for the hiss of escaping steam. Lightning Strikes Park.

OR THIRTY LIVES ARE LOST The Supports Of The Sprinkler System Tank On The Montreal Herald Building Give Away And Thirty-five Tons Of Metal And Water Drop Through—Many Thrilling Escapes—A Daring Little Heroine And A Plucky Priest—The Rescues. Montreal, Quebec (Special):—Between 20 and 30 people lost their lives when the supports of the sprinkler system tank on the roof of the Herald building gave way and the great mass of metal and water, weighing 35 tons, went crashing to the basement. Fire broke out immediately, adding its horrors to the disaster. The firemen displayed splendid heroism in rescuing scores of people from perilous positions in the toterting walls. Some of the walls had to come down before the work of recovering the bodies could be safely attempted and it was not until after 6 o'clock that the first body, charred and mangled beyond recognition, was brought out. All of those who escaped agree that the first warning of the impending disaster passed almost unnoticed. There was a slight creaking; then a little more, some what more pronounced, but it was not until the ceiling plaster began to fall that the rush for the stairway began. Before anyone reached it, there occurred a final deafening crash and then chaos. Some survivors tell of falling one and two floors before the awful crash died away and then they found themselves able to crawl through the dense dust to a place of safety. The majority sought safety by rushing to the front building facing on Victoria Square. Fortunately, all the floors held for 30 feet back from the front wall, and to this is due the fact that the death list does not run up into the hundreds, for there were nearly 300 people in the building at the time. Prediction By E. H. Gary, Of The U. S. Steel Corporation. Chicago (Special). — Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the executive board of the United States Steel Corporation, in an interview predicted an increase in the cost of living, a general wage advance and an advance in the cost of production of nearly all commodities.

Commodities are going upward; materials are higher and wages are advancing at a fair rate. This means more money for the butcher, baker and others that provide for the home. And it is not only just and proper, but will make for a better general result all over the country." POET BARRED OUT. Immigration Officials Don't Think Poetry Will Pay. New York (Special).—The immigration authorities decided that to write prose and poetry is not a reliable means of livelihood.

Berlin (Special). — According to dispatches received here by the Jewish Aid Society, Jews are being unmercifully evicted from their summer country residences throughout Russia. These dispatches set forth that Hebrews are not even permitted to reside in the suburban town, while the sick who are visiting watering places are examined by government commissioners to determine whether their state of health makes their sojourn in these places necessary. In most instances, they are driven out. One dispatch says: "The police in the province of Smolensk are drawing mounted cordons around whole districts daily. Every Jew unable to fully establish a right to domicile is arrested. Many Jews are hiding in the surrounding woods, where the police are hunting them like wild game. Numbers are fleeing to the country abandoning their homes and effects. Most of those engaged in the grain trade are not allowed to visit the country districts to deal with the farmers, and, accordingly have given up their business. Klev.—Forty-five Jewish families were expelled from Klev. Of this number 29 families were forced to leave the city, without preparation. Others have been given three days in which to arrange for their departure. DEAD IN TRUNK HUSBAND IS MISSING The Woman, Mary Scott Castle, a Former Actress. Her Second Husband, Porter Charlton, Stepson Of Mrs. Paul Charlton, Daughter Of Dr. Alfred Wanstall, Of Baltimore—Mrs. Charlton Says The Young Man Married Against His Father's Wishes — Judge Charlton, Of Washington, The Father, Says He Believes His Boy Has Also Been Murdered, Probably By Jealous Rival. Rome (Special).—Detectives are busy trying to solve a mysterious murder at Lake Como. Fishermen discovered, submerged in a lake near the village of Maltrasio, near Lake Como, a trunk which, when towed ashore and opened, was used to contain the body of a woman about 30 years old. The head of the body of the woman were sewed with bloodstains. She was evidently killed by blows on the head with some blunt instrument. The body was jammed in the trunk so tightly that the head rested on the knees. The trunk had been weighed down by stones. The body dressed in black, and on the left hand was a wedding ring bearing the initials "P. C." There were also in the trunk a packet of letter written in English, a photograph and two prayer-books. The body has been identified as that of Mrs. Charlton. formerly Mary Scott Castle, of Thirty-fourth Street, New York City. The police believe the woman was not dead when she was placed in the trunk. They think she was stunned, and while still alive was put in the trunk, which was thrown into the lake. The photograph found in the trunk is that of a young man about 23 years old. The woman is believed to have been the wife of an American named Porter Charlton. The couple recently occupied Villa at Maltasriu, but they disappeared several days ago. They had formerly occupied apartments at the Hotel Suisse, on Lake Como. A Russian Arrested. The police have arrested a Russian of the name of, Constantine Spolatopol, aged 50 years, who came from St. Petersburg. He was tracked to Roggiano. He admits that he knew the Americans. He gave contradictory and confused replies to the questions asked him. The police suspect that the present murder is connected with the recent murder of Miss Reid at Naples, but refuse to give the reasons for their suspicions. Several persons have been killed, life and viewed her body declared that she had told them she had been married to Porten Charlton, the son of an American naval officer. Charlton is described as being 23 years old, and is said once to have been a student at the University of Pennsylvania. The woman apparently was about 35 years old. Bolt Hits Bayonets; Kills. St. Petersburg (Special).—Lightning struck the bayonets in a patrol that was maneuvering at Krasnoye-Selo, killing one soldier and fatally injuring another. Swallowed Pins: Dead. South Norwalk, Conn. (Special). "In the opinion of the coroner, Mrs. Frederick B. Malkin, the young woman who swallowed a handful of pins with suicidal intent and died after six hours of agony, not only took the pins, but swallowed poison as well. It is Coroner Huntington's opinion that the pins would not have caused death so quickly. Just what kind of poison Mrs. Malkin took he was unable to state in his finding, as an autopsy was not performed. 4,000,000 Churchgoers and 40, 000 Sermons. Great Work Done 17 National Association—Much Good Accomplis- led In Educating People In Flight- ing Dread Disease—Foreign Coun- tries Observed The Day Also. New York (Special).—Over 4,000, 000 churchgoers, nearly 40,000 ser- mons and preachers, and more than 1,250,000 pieces of literature, are some of the totals given in a preliminary report issued by the Nati- ral Association for the Study and Pre- vention of Tuberculosis, of the resu- ces of the first National Tuberculosis Sunday ever held, on April 24. The report states that fully one-eighth of the 33,000,000 listed communicants of the churches of the United States heard the gospel of health on Tuberculosis Sunday, and that the number of people who were reached by notices and sermons printed in the newspapers will aggregate 25,000,000. Hardly a paper in the country failed to announce the occasion. From clipping returns received at the National Association's headquarters, it is estimated that fully 20,000 newspapers, magazines, religious and technical journals gave publicity to this national event. For this assistance on the part of the press, the National Association desires to express its thanks. Although the movement for Tuberculosis Sunday was handicapped by a lack of time and funds, the National Association feels that the campaign has been worth while. Mary foreign countries observed the day also. Plans are now under way for a wider observance of the day in 1911. The active co-operation of every religious denunciation, besides that of the governors, mayors and public officials, as well as that of other agencies, will be sought. The promoters of this movement announce that the do not wish to interfere with the church calendar and any commotion. It is not planned to have a special Tuberculosis Sunday as a regular church day. The plan is to have the subject of health, and particularly tuberculosis, brought up in the churches for any service or part of a service and as nearly simultaneously in all parts of the country as possible. Details of the Massacre in a Mexican Town. One Man Cut Down Before His Wife And His Body Hacked To Pieces— The Mayor, Chief Of Police, Town Treasurer And The Chief Of The Telegraph Office Among The Victims—Sacked Building In Which They Had Taken Refuge. Mexico City (Special). — With telegraph wires cut and operators murdered or forced to flee for their lives, definite information is lacking as to the present situation at Valladolid, Yucatan, the scene of a bloody massacre by Indian insurgents several days ago. Meagre advices received by the government estimate the number of killed at 40. More than 2,000 Indians are said to have been engaged in the attack. The insurgents held Valadolid at last accounts, having fortified themselves in the jail and other buildings. Federal and state troops and volunteers, numbering 2,000 men, are concentrating at Daitas, near Valadolid, and are about to march on the rebels. Gen. Ignacio Bravo, commander of the Tenth military zone, whose headquarters is at Santa Cruz de Bravo, in the Province of Quintana Roo, has been ordered to the scene to take command. Those engaged in the uprising are chiefly Indians of the towns of Xocen and Chihuahilla, who never have been submissive to authority. Reports as to the cause of the outbreak are conflicting. Some declare that it began with a protest against certain orders issued by the civil officer (Jefe Político), in charge of the municipality, while others say that it was the result of a drunken spree. Whatever its origin, it appears to have had some semblance of organization and is said to have been led by political malcontents. Col. Bonilla Montenegro, formerly at the head of the civil government of Valadoid, is said to have been in command of the raiders. The first attack was made on the building containing all public offices. After sacking this building, the rioters turned the attention to Jefe Politico Regil. The slaughter began in the night, and it was 2 A. M. when the attack was made on the building where Regil and many citizens had taken refuge. A bloody butchery followed. The wife of Regil left her four children and went to the assistance of her husband, seeking through her tears and prayers to reach the hearts of the infuriated raiders. ODDS AND ENDS.

LAMP CAP 1 New England Missionary Convention Held In New York. MANY CHURCHES REPORTED. Large Number of New Ones Joined the Convention—Strong Arraignment of Race Prejudice Made by the Committee on State and Country In Its Report—Social Features. By N. BARNETT DODSON. BY N. BARNETT DODSON. By far the most representative gathering of Negro Baptists which has assembled in New York for many years was that of the thirty-sixth annual meeting of the New England Baptist missionary convention held in the Abyssinian Baptist church from June PETER J. BURKE PRESIDENT W. A. CREDITT. 2 to 6 inclusive. The convention includes in its membership churches from Washington and throughout the New England states and is also largely affiliated with the national Baptist convention, especially so in the distribution of its moneys for home and foreign missions. The convention was called to order by the president, Rev. Dr. William A. Creditt of Philadelphia. After devotional services and the reading of the call for the convention by the corresponding secretary, Dr. W. A. Harrod, and the adoption of the program as prepared by the board of managers President Creditt proceeded to deliver his annual address. The theme of the discourse was unity and loyalty to Baptist doctrines. He referred to the progress of the denomination from both a numerical and financial standpoint, showing conclusively that Negro Baptists are more than holding their own along all lines. He was frequently applauded. He is 'full of zeal, coupled with knowledge, experience and fine executive ability. He is a busy man. As pastor of the old Cherry Street Baptist church, Philadelphia, he has made an enviable record. The new church edifice, now known as the First African Baptist church, is a credit to his spiendid leadership. It cost $100,000, $67,000 of which has been paid. Sixteen hundred members have been added to the church. A building and town association and a mutual aid society have also been organized by him during his pastorate. He is president of the Downingtown (Pa.) Industrial and Agricultural school, which had an enrollment the past term of 110 students. The school is one of the youngest and best equip- [Image of a man with a mustache and a wig, wearing a suit and a tie. The background is plain white. There is a decorative border around the image.]] ped institutions of its kind in the north for the education of our sons and daughters. Under Dr. Creditt and his able associate officers and the board of managers the New England Baptist missionary convention is in safe hands. It is increasing in numerical and financial strength, and its influence for good is rapidly spreading. The Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell. vice of the church in which the sessions were held, is also a man of smart executive ability. This may be seen from the recent annual report of his church for the past year. He is not only a great public orator and Biblical saint, but a successful pastor and leader who knows how to feed his flock. Thaddeus Stevens post, Grand Army of the Republic, New York, was so much encouraged by the annual sermon which Dr. Powell preached recently that it went in a body to the convention at one of the sessions and presented him with a Grand Army button and a certificate uniting him chaplain and an honorary member of the post. Among the educational institutions represented at the convention were the Virginia seminary and college, Lynchburg, Va., Professor James R. L. Diggs, president; the Downingtown Industrial and Agricultural school, Downingtown, Pa.; the National Training School For Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, Washington, Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs, president, and an industrial school at Providence, R. I. There was a large delegation of ministers of the national Baptist convention, many of whom were en route to the world's missionary conference, which convened in Edinburgh on June 15. The Rev. Dr. E. C. Morris of the national convention. Dr. R. H. Boyd of Nashville, Teen.; Rev. Mr. Fisher of Alabuna, Dr. W. Bishop Johnson of Washington, Dr. E. J. Fisher of Chicago, the Rev. H. D. Proud, missionary to South America; Professor J. R. L. Diggs, president of Virginia seminary and college, Lynchburg, and many other noted educators and religious workers were present. The annual sermon was preached by the Rev. C. A. Ward of Boston, whose theme was "The Place of Christ In Modern Civilization." The sermon was scholarly, doctrinal and full of historical researches. As he dwelt upon the supremacy of Christ in the world the convention was stirred to loud "Amens." The missionary sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. W. S. Smith of Providence, R. I. His subject was "There is a Man at Your Gate." The illustrations for the sermon were drawn from the conditions which exist between the rich and the poor. He stated that he did not believe that we should be technical in regard to missionary work; that both borne and foreign missions should receive our hearty support. Dr. Smith sailed for Edinburgh on the 4th. The convention was largely attended, and a great deal of substantial work was done. The session wound up with a grand musical and literary M. B. REV. A. MARKE HARRIS, D. D. reception to the delegates by the Abyssinian church Monday evening. June & Among those who took part in the program were Miss N. H. Burroughs, Miss Mary J. Matthews, Junius Williams, Rev W. P. Lawrence and Dr. W. A. Harrod. The receipts during the sessions of the convention were nearly $1,500. There were 153 churches represented in the convention, 375 delegates, not including those from New York and vicinity. A large number of new churches joined the convention. Dr. Creditt is making a fine record, and the convention is proud of him. The officers of the New England Baptist missionary convention are: Rev. W. A. Creditt, D. D., president; Rev. A. Clayton Powell, D. D., vice president; Rev. A. Mark Harris, D. D., recording secretary; Rev. W. A. Harrod, Ph. D., corresponding secretary; Rev. D. Wynn, D. D., treasurer.

GOLDEN TEXT.—"Wherefore putting away all fithiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your soul." James 1:21. TIME.—Autumn. A. D. 28. PLACE.—By Sea of Galilee, near Capernaum. EXPOSITION.—I. Jesus as an Open-Air Preacher, 1. 2. The great sermon of this lesson was preached in the open air. So was every other great sermon recorded in the Bible. Jesus went to the seaside because that was where He could get the crowd. Most men can get more hearers to-day in the open air than in a building. Jesus began to preach when the crowd collected (Lu. 8:4), but He was not above preaching to an audience of one (Jno. 3:4). But the multitude loved to gather to hear Jesus (Matt. 5:1; 15:32; Lu. 8:45). It is not hard to tell why. Jesus always saw in a great crowd a call to preach the gospel (Matt. 9:36-38; Mk. 2:2; 6:34). Jesus began at this time to adopt the parable method of teaching, which reveals the truth to those who love it and conceals it from those who have no appetite for it (vs. 10-13; Mk. 4:11, 12; 2 Thess. 2:10-12). Jesus used a fishing smack for a pulpit, that was good enough for Him, and we ought to count it good enough for us (Jno. 15:20). H. Hard-Hearted Heavers, 3, 4, 19. Jesus represents Himself (and all preachers and teachers of the Word) as a sower. The Word of God is seed (Lu. 8:11); it has life, the power of growth and reproduction; it brings forth fruit (Col. 1:5, 6). There is more ultimate value in one grain of wheat than in the largest diamond ever found; for that grain sown, and its fruit sown, will in time fill the earth with its increase. So with a word of truth sown in the heart; it converts one, he many, each one he converts many more, in ever widening circles. It is a marvelous privilege with infinitive consequences to be a preacher or teacher of the Word. There are four kinds of soil or classes of hearers. The first class are like the trodden path over which the feet and wheels of the world have gone until there is no receptivity for the Word of God (unless He drive the plowshare of deep agony through that heart). The seed sown in such hearts is snatched away by the devil through his ever-present emissaries, "fowls of the air." II. Shallow-Hearted Hearers, 5, 6, 20, 21. The second class of hearers are like the thin soil on an outcropping ledge of rock. They hear the Word, and immediately without reflection upon its real import and the cost of acceptance, receive it with joy (Lu. 8:13). There is response to the truth in this case. It takes hold upon the emotions, but not upon the great deeps of the will. These are the shallow souls. They give quicker promise than any one else (Mk. 4:10). They are glad at once. The truth often makes deep souls sad before it makes them glad. A deep work is better than a swift one. These have no root and the young plant soon withers. The scorching sun is "tribulation or persecution because of the word." If the seed were well rooted the sun would make it grow and ripen; so do tribulation and persecution when the Word is well rooted. The Galatians were rocky soil hearers (Gal. 4:15; 5:7; 6:12). IV. Halt-Hearted Heaters, 7, 8, 22. The third class of hearers are like rich, promising but pre-occupied soil. There are already thorns in the soil and the seed sown falls upon these. They grow up with their rank, luxurious growth, and the good seed is choked and the early promise comes to nothing. In this case there has been real attention to the Word and appreciation of it (v. 22). It has taken some hold upon the will, but there has not been whole-hearted surrender to it. They are capable of bearing fruit if they would only cast out the thorns, but they won't. So there is no fruit. This is most solemn. It pictures many, very many, in the church to-day. The thorns are (1) "The cares of the world." In how many a business man and housewife the Word of God is thus choked. (2) "The deceitfulness of riches." How many a man grows godless as he grows rich. One of the most promising and energetic young Christians of the fifties in Chicago is now nothing but a withered millionaire, with one foot in the grave, which he will himself soon enter to be "saved so as by fire," or to be lost forever. (3) "Pleasures of this life" (Lu. 8:14), dance, theatre, card party, etc., etc. (4) "Lusts of other things" (Mk. 4:18, 11). Out with the thorns. V. Whote-Hearted Hearers, 8, 23. But there is a fourth class, "good ground." They (1) "hear the word." They appreciate its value and give good heed. (2) They "understand" it. They take in its meaning and its price. (3) They "accept it" "in an honest and good heart" (Mk. 4:20, R. V.; Lu. 8:15). Not merely hear, but take hold. (4) They "hold it fast" (Lu. 8:15, R. V.), they will not give it up at any cost. These bring forth fruit ("with patience"), thirty, sixty, and one hundredfold. In three cases the seed had come to nothing. In one only did it bear, but in that one case more than paid for all the cost, and labor; so it is with our preaching. How discouraged we get over the apparently wasted seed. Don't. You will strike the "hundred-fold" man some day. But let all take heed how they hear (Lu. 8:15). The parable does not say that an equal amount of seed fell on all kinds of ground; in ordinary farming it would not. The Christian's fellowship with God is rather a habit than a rapture. Cecil. TABLET FOR BIRDS -Mammals it makes me to angry at the nasty dogs and cats,"cries little Nellie, as she came in one cold morning. "I sween away the snow for the birdies to get their crumbs, and then some old cat or dog comes along and scares them all away. They aren't hungry at all, the mean things, for Sarah feeds them, but they just like to frighten the poor birdies," writes Helen Richmond, in the Sunday-School Times. "Yes, and it keeps us all play time watching the food," said Rob. "I never get to coast a bit with my new sled since the snow came. I don't want the birds to starve, but it's hard to lose all the play time." "Well," said Mrs. Anderson, "my little boy and girl must put their wits to work to think up a good way to feed the birds without any danger from cats and dogs. I think you will easily solve the problem if you work a little whittle. You see, if you could put the food where the cats and dogs and chickens can not reach it, you would have plenty of play time and the birds would not be frightened." The children thought about it all that day and at night dreamed of feeding the birds and driving away wild animals from the little snow-cleared patch. "I don't know of a thing unless I climb up on the wood-house roof, with the food," said Rob, as he was starting to school. "And even up there the cats would get it." "I've thought of that, too," said Nellie, "but it won't do. I thought may be we could get papa to build a high fence around the back yard to keep out the stray dogs and cats, but he says that is too 'expensive. I suppose we'll just have to watch them. Oh! I have it! I have it!" "Don't tell!" said Rob. "I want to think it out myself." They could hardly study that day in school, and Miss Rose said they surely must be excited over some great happening. Once when she asked Nellie how many dolls she could get for ten cents if they were two cents each, Nellie looked bewildered and answered "Five birds," instead of dolls. And Rob sat working with some string to get the knots out of it right in the midst of the reading lesson, as if he had forgotten all about school. "I knew you could do it!" said Mrs. Anderson as she saw the old tree apple adorned that evening with queer articles on strings. "How you can have time to coast and skate, and the birds will be sure of their meals. It is rather an odd table, but the guesses will not complain." Perhaps you have guessed that Nellie and Rob tied pieces of bread and meat to bits of twine, and hung them in the tree out of reach of the cats and dogs. The birds came whirring down out of the cold gray air to peck daintily at the meat and bread, and then to perch in the apple tree and eat the good food. Nellie and Rob could hardly leave the spot for watching the dear birds and laughing at the cats that jumped for the meat could not reach it. And all winter the queer little table was loaded with good things, and the children had their fun, too.—Newark Call. The Price of Eloquence. The auctioneer held up a battered fiddle. "What am I offered for this antique violin?" he pathetically inquired. "Look it over. See the blurred finger-marks of remorseless time. Note the strains of the hurrying years. To the merry notes of this fine old instrument the brocaded dames of fair France may have danced the minuet in glittering Versailles. Perhaps the vestal virgins marched to its stirring rhythms, in the feasts of Lupercalla. Ha, it bears an abrasion—perhaps a touch of fire. Why, this may have been the very fiddle on which Nero played when Rome burned." "Thirty cents," said a red-nosed man in the front row. "It's yours!" cried the auctioneer, cheerfully.

Let us lean not to reach too high. Commence small and grow, «ud the growth will be more substantial and in ail probability, permanent. Because we have had anoth.r fail- are, the whole race is not going to tread on the failures and make them act as stepping'stones to future sne- ceases, WE WONDER HOW THEY FEEL. Some things are’ happening eve and auon, to make one question the validizy of thie Christiamty, of som people who profess to kuow Jesu: Christ as Saviour and Lord; but the most collossal exhibition of the nachristian spirit preseated to the public gaze lor many years, was that unearstian act of the local committer, which had in charge the arrangements for the World’s Sun- day School Convention, held at Washington, D.C., from May 19ch to 24th, when they excluded the Afro-Americans from the great pa- rade and seats in the convention hall. the actioin ‘of the committee is ‘nothing less thao disgraceful and shows the blinding power of preju- dice. It seems a pty indeed that men from heathen “lands should travel thousands of miles to Chris- tian American to find a beathenish blighting prejudice holding a high seat at the National Capital. Itis regretabl: that such au exhibition of the devilish spirit of caste and prejudice should bulk so large before an assemble of Christian workers from every clime representing all races and nations. This is an awful argument against Christianity of Christian American, and the Christianity of Jesus Christ has been hit » blow, the sound of which will be heard around the, world. Tat religion which gocs. with blanched face and tremuious, voice to the heathen on other shores and in other climes, and yet refuses to extend a helping band to the man next door at ho:e, is a hypocrasy, a quagmire, a fre- dap aod ‘ nightmare, and'is not worth stand- ing room in hell. Such religivnists have not learned the a-b-e of Chris- tidnity, and thelr teaching and ex- ample are a pitfall and a snare. They are blind leaders’ of the blind, and will all fall into the ditch to- gether. Now that thé Washiogton committee has acted with more pre- udice than'senst, more hatred than ood will, showing, that they kick np their heel at “that. marvelously jane example of Jesus Christ, who vecame the tried of publicans aud inners, ‘1io“one’neéd wonder why he scheme of Obristianity has made uch tardy stepsin. conquering the yorld .and binging it urider the way of thespisic of the Master:; } ‘We wonder Hovicthat Washington ommittee ‘feels:under the ‘caustic ash .of public: criticism. which'has|: ad is still being-applied.- »." ‘We wonder how . they teel when| acihg Jesus and-Pan!, the first of vhom said: “One is" your Master. ven Christ, and all ye’ are breth-| ep."

Washington, D. C., June 15.—The United States Supreme Court has upheld the decision of the Kentucky Court that the C. & O. Railroad had the right to regulate the seating of interstate or other passengers and that J. Alexander Chiles, who claimed $10,000 damages, has just ground for his contention. The motion is far reaching and has the effect of fastening more securely than ever upon this country the lafamous jimcar system, a leading attorney, reviewing the case, remarked that the decision of the Court was the "rawest" that has been dealt out to the Negro since the overthrow of the civil rights law by Justice Bradley and little short of the Dred Scott brand of equity." The Chiles case is said to be the ninth that has come before the Supreme Court involving the race problem—and this attorney says they have all been decided one way—against the Negro's side of the controversy.

Fat people will yearn with satisfaction that they have a champion in a Georgia physician, who says that surplus flesh is a natural armor against colds and sudden falls, lending the body "warmth and security, and the mind peace and good cheer." cheer." The psychic effect of being fat, according to this doctor, manifests itself in its influence over the temperament and disposition, from the earliest childhood, or from the moment when, under the subtle urging of certain food and tonics, the body begins to grow in bulk of fatty tissue. As fat is acquired the mind that rules and is ruled by matter acquires a rose-colored outlook, a sunny generality and a patience with the small irritations of life. Nervous, thin people who actually suffer because of lack of flesh should remember that sleep is one of the greatest fat producers. Obesity is not desirable, but the individual who is plump is often stronger physically than his thin neighbor and has more endurance. The fat man is usually good-natured, has strong resistance to disease and is a good citizen, as is generally proved by his large circle of friends.—Boston Globe. A Reflection On Her Product.

White Masters King of Musical Instruments. WINS HOCKLEY SCHOLARSHIP Pupil of English and Russian Instructors Who Began the Study of the Violin In Washington Regarded as the Most Finished Artist the Race Has Produced. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. "Mr. White is the finest interpreter of my violin compositions in America." Thus wrote S. Colledge-Taylor, the great Anglo-African composer of London, concerning Clarence Cameron White, one of the most brilliant violinists that the race has yet produced. Mr. White began the study of the violin when a mere boy in the city of Washington. He showed such musical ability that he was sent to Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Oberliu, O. There young White won his spurs, being made first violin in the conservatory orchestra, which was composed of sixy- But his musical education was not to stop with the four years spent at Oberlin. Although he had acquired great ability and was recognized as a most excellent performer on the violin, Mr White, with the soul of the true artist burning within him, determined to go to Europe and study the violin under the masters of the old world. In 1006 he went to London and studied orchestration under Herbert A Harrison, one of England's great orchestral conductors. He returned to America in the fall of that year and won the first Hockley scholarship for study abroad. For the second time young Clarence Cameron White crossed the ocean for the purpose of studying that "king of instruments, the violin." He became a private pupil in London of M. Zachrewitsch, the great Russian THE NEW YORKER Copyright by Scurlock. CLARENCE G. WHITE. violinist. He also studied composition under S. Coleridge-Taylor. Mr. Coleridge-Taylor manifested much interest in Mr. White and was instrumental in getting the eniment Russian as his teacher of the violin. Greater orchestral honors came to him when he went abroad, for he was made first violin in the celebrated String Players' club, which is said to be the finest string orchestra in London. His great concert tour was in 1906, when he appeared in over fifty concerts through the west and south. When S. Coleridge-Taylor came to the United States on two occasions Clarence Cameron White was the violin soloist for him in his concerts. Mr. White has appeared before distinguished citizens in America and before critical audiences in England and Spain. He enjoys the distinction of being the first to play some of Coleridge-Taylor's compositions for American audiences. Beginning next fall Mr. White will make a great concert tour, playing at a hundred concerts and filling engagements in the south and as far west as the Pacific coast. He uses in all of his concerts a Maggulvi violin, valued at $500. Clarence Cameron White is a composer of ability and of much industry. He has in preparation an opera and a number of miscellaneous compositions, written while he was abroad. A comic opera written by him was produced with great success in Washington in 1907. This young musician, scarcely thirty years of age, is now regarded as a violinist of the very first rank. He is studious and, full of energy, Industry and ambition. With all these he is possessed of a charming personality and most pleasing manners. His charming wife, who was formerly Miss Beatrice Warrick, is a planist of rare ability and takes much pride in furthering her husband's musical plans. She accompanies him in many of his concerts. They have two interesting boys—William, aged four, and Clarence junior, aged two. They are growing up in a home surrounded and permeated with musical environments. BROAD MINDED OFFICIAL How Colonel Goethals Helps Colored School Children In Canal Zone. Colonel Goethals, engineer in charge of construction work in the Panama canal zone; is doing a great work for humanity aside from his many duties as a government official. He has established in connection with the schools for colored children experimental gardens for raising vegetables and fruit. The new venture has proved to be very successful. Up to the present time produce to the value of $200 has been raised. The girls have shown as much interest as the boys, and the work has been so beneficial to the pupils and so cheaply maintained that it is expected four or five more gardens will be started soon. The work is done by children from six to twelve years old, and they are allowed to take the produce home. The work is under the supervision of a graduate of the agricultural college of Kingston, Jamaica. GOOD MEN PUT ON DUTY. No Complaint Against Negro Census Enumerators. Says Nagel. From all sections of the country where Negro census enumerators were employed comes the good news that they maintained a high-degree of efficiency in their work. Director Durand says he has heard no complaint about their work. They were sent after passing satisfactory examinations. Thus, he said, a good class of men were put on duty. The total number of enumerators employed in taking the present census is 55,000. Of this number 1,605 are Negroes: 1,295 of the 1,605 were assigned to duty in the southern states. Figures are not available to show the increase in the number of Negro enumerators for the thirteenth census over those employed in the census taken ten years ago. Officials, however, express the belief that the increase was considerable and palust to the fact that South Carolina alone had 131 colored enumerators, while ten years ago it had none. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED AT LINEN SHOWER SOCIAL. Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Booker Break the News of Their Daughter's Betrothal at Social Gathering.

The recent quarterly conference of the colored Presbyterian pastors of New Jersey, which met in Paterson, was highly interesting. The address of the Rev. Charles H.

In the course of his address Dr. Trusty said "there are 70,000 of our people in the state of New Jersey without any religion at all" and that vice and crime among them might be minimized through the assistance of the church if the church did its duty.

"My mother used to have a very bad humor on her head which the doctors called an eczema, and for it I had two different doctors. Her head was very sore and her hair nearly all fell out in spite of what they both did. One day her niece came in and they were speaking of how her hair was falling out and the doctors did it no good. She says, 'Aunt, why don't you try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment?' Mother did, and they helped her. In six months' time the itching, burning and scalding of her head was over and her hair began growing. To-dry she feels much in debt to Cuticura Soap and Ointment for the fine head of hair she has for an old lady of seventy-four. "My own case was an eczema in my feet. As soon as the cold weather came my feet would itch and burn and then they would crack open and bleed. Then I thought I would flee to my mother's friends, Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I did for four or five winters, and now my feet are as smooth as any one's. Ellsworth Dunham, Hiram, Me., Sept. 30, 1909." A Description. "What kind of a man is Witherington?"

Double Defeat For Dr. R. T. Brown. Work on New Building For Boys. Miles Memorial college, the institution of learning maintained in Birmingham, Ala., by the Colored Methodist Episcopal church, closed its third annual session recently with a record breaking attendance and other indica- [Picture of a man in a suit]. PRESIDENT J. A. BRAY. tions which point to its successful career as one of the schools worth while in the southland. The feature of the whole occasion was the welcome reception held in honor of Bishop G. W. Stewart, D. D., of Selma, Ala., who was elected bishop in the church at the recent session of the general conference held in Augusta, Ga. Bishop Stewart resides in Alabama and is the first prelate in the church to be elected from that state. An extensive program was arranged, and addresses were delivered by representatives of the various denominations in the community, as well as representatives of the various professional and business interests of Greater Birmingham. On the seat of honor with Bishop Stewart sat Rev. Dr. V. Washington of Birmingham, who was also elected general secretary of missions at the general conference. The wives of both these officials were included in the honorary ceremonies. Dr. James A. Dray, president of the institution, acted as master of ceremonies. The annual report of the president, Rev. James A. Bray, D. D., was read to the board of trustees and received with a great deal of enthusiastic approval, many regarding it the best report of a year's work in the varied history of Alabama's educational work in the church. Opposition to Dr. Bray's re-election developed, however, in the candidacy of Dr. R. T. Brown, recently editor of the Christian Index, the official organ of the church, and the defended candidate for the bishopric at the general conference. Dr. Brown's candidacy in a manner was regarded as an aftermath of the general conference activities, but his effort to introduce the warfare into the local educational institution was resented by the men on the board of trustees, and Dr. Bray was re-elected by a vote of 16 to 8. In the eight voting for Dr. Brown he himself was counted, while of the Bray adherents Dr. Bray and Bishop G. W. Stewart, who, in the absence of Bishop R. S. Williams, unresolved, failed to vote. All of the commencement exercises were of a very high order. Rev Dr. I. S. Persons of Jackson, Tenn., preached the commencement sermon. The faculty as recommended by President Bray was re-elected for the ensuing term. At the close of the board meeting Bishop Stewart expressed his determination to raise at least $5,000 dY the conference season, which he hoped to use in completing the new building for boys. Several new additions were made to the work of the institution which will greatly enhance its usefulness. Negro Medical Students' High Average At a recent medical examination held at Queen's university, Canada, sixty students presented themselves for the degrees of M. D. C. M. Out of the sixty there were two young Negro students. J. T. Beete and B. J. Dash. Thirty of the sixty failed in the examination, and out of the thirty successful candidates both colored students were successful with high averages -Dallas (Tex.) Express. No Color In Efficient Service. The Negro must play his part in every field of useful endeavor, says the Indianapolis (lind.) Freeman. He must be a factor in business, a factor in the church, the school and in the organizations that stand for civic betterment. And last, but not least, he is entitled to hold any public office for which his education or training fits him. There is no color in efficient service. AN EXACT SCIENCE Fully a Million Dollars a Week in Foreign Gold Comes to This Country to Pay For Standard's Product That is Peddled to the Doors of Hut and Palace, According to the Rockefeller Plan of International Barter. This Rockefeller Foundation, to make a story of it, is in reality just this—it is the dream of a poor boy come true. It is the happy ending of an American novel of real life. It is the climax of one of the most dramatic and impressive careers that this country, or any other, has ever known. The dream—or the novel or drama, whichever you like—began more than half a century ago. It began in a shabby little boarding house in Cleveland, in the brain of a lad of eighteen who was clerking for a shipping and real estate company. There were at that time about a million other American boys of the samo age, and not many of them had received fewer privileges than this one. He had been educated partly in the public schools, but mainly at home, by his mother and father. His pay, at this time, was sixty cents a day. His hours of labor were from breakfast until bedtime. For his room and meals he was paying $1 a week, so that his net income—the basis of his dream of fortune and philanthropy—was not more than $135 a year. Even at this time, and with this income, he build a tiny little foundation of his own. Out of the sixty cents a day, he set aside a few nenies for the church, or for some hungry family, or to drop into some hat that was passed around in the office. The notebook in which these little philanthropic entries were made is still in existence. It is known by the name of "Ledger A" in the Rockefeller family. It is a completely worn out little notebook, with broken cover and tattered pages of faded writing, but it is one of the most precious treasures in the Rockefeller vaults. It has more than a personal interest now. It has suddenly become historic, because it records the origin of "the most comprehensive scheme of benevolence in the whole history of humanity." The managerial instinct was so strong in this boy that he was not satisfied with merely paying his share into the contribution boxes. By the time he was nineteen he had ripened. He was of benevolence. He was a member of a mission church, which was fast breaking down under the weight of a $2000 mortgage. This sixty-cent-a-day youth undertook to collect the money, and he did it. "That was a proud day," he said in later years, "when the last dollar was collected." Little as he knew, the boy was then at work to the fulfilment of his dream to become perhaps the greatest getter, and the greatest giver, of his generation. Later, when he became a prosperous man of business and large affairs, he still retained the habit of organizing his giving as well as his getting. He even went so far as to organize his family into a sort of foundation. At this breakfast table he distributed appeals for help among his children requesting them to investigate each case and make a report to him on the following day. In this way his children, and especially his son and namesake, who is destined to distribute the revenue of the Rockefeller fortune, received a Spartan training in "the difficult art of giving." The whole bent of the Rockefeller mind seems to have been inclined from the first toward the working out of this problem of distribution. The business of the Standard Oil Company itself is much more a matter of distribution than of production. It was unquestionably the first company that undertook to sell its product directly to the users on a worldwide scale. For the most part, it delivers its oil, not to wholesalers and middlemen, but to the family that burns it, whether it be in the United States or in the uttermost parts of the earth. It has, for instance, no fewer than 20,000 tank wagons traveling from door to door in the twenty countries of the world using plats and quarts of oil, liquid light to the whole world. Fully $1,000,000 week in foreign gold or its equivalent, comes to this country to pay for the oil that is peddled to the doors of hut and palace, according to the Rockefeller plan of international distribution. Consequently, both by natural aptitude and business experience, Mr. Rockefeller was well prepared to work out the problem of distributing the surplus money of the rich in a systematic and efficient manner. His new foundation is no afterthought. It is no suddle, change of mind or change of heart. It is the natural result of fifty years of experience and experiment. What he began to do as a poor boy in a Cleveland boarding house, he is now about to complete on an international scale—that is the explanation of the new plan that has excited so much comment and so much curiosity. Consul General John L. Griffiths, of London, writes that British manufacturers are forming an association to prevent the sale in the United Kingdom of foreign-made as British goods. The Bangkok Manufacturing Company (Limited), making ice, aerated waters, etc., earned $15,150 gross profits, the total dividend for the year being 14 per cent. A. Modern Education.

From time to time, a man who writes things for the current prints—especially the weekly magazines which make a specialty of comment and criticism on literary matters—thinks it is his duty to discover something which may show that he is very modern—quite the opposite to an antediluvian fossil. Such a man in such a mood was he who lately in the Literary Digest stated that all art, to prove enduring must be based on the contemporary life of any land in which it sees the light; that poetry, for instance, cannot gain "respect and admiration" if it lack such a national and present-day basis. Surely, this statement must have been written for some other purpose than mere truth or art; because, unless the writer be the versified tyro, he is sure to know that it is quite untenable. - Is Goethe's "Faust" of any age or land? Is Shakespeare's "Hamlet" grounded on "contemporaneous national life?" Is our own poet's lyric masterpiece, "Annabel Lee," a poem "of the present?" No, indeed! And yet the three have gained beyond a doubt—and held for many years—the true "respect and admiration" of all reading folk. The Literary Digest writer's phase seems too absurd for contravention. But the very contrary of what he says may be laid down with justice as a rule. -Chicago Inter Ocean. He Were. A prominent Western attorney tells of a boy who once applied at his office for work.

It is hard to convince some people that coffee does them an injury! They lay their bad feelings to almost every cause but the true and unsuspected one. But the doctor knows. His wide experience has proven to him that, to some systems, coffee is an insidious poison that undermines the health. Ask the doctor if coffee is the cause of constipation, stomach and nervous troubles. "I have been a coffee drinker all my life. I am now 42 years old and when taken sick two years ago with nervous prostration, the doctor said that my nervous system was broken down and that I would have to give up coffee. "I got so weak and shaky I could not work, and reading your advertisement of Postum, I asked my grocer if he had any of it. He said, 'Yes,' and that he used it in his family and it was all it claimed to be. "So I quit coffee and commenced to use Postum steadily and found in about two weeks' time I could sleep soundly at night and get up in the morning feeling fresh. In about two months I began to gain flesh. I weighed only 146 pounds when I commenced on Postum and now I weigh 167 and feel better than I did at 20 years of age. "I am working every day and sleep well at night. My two children were great coffee drinkers, but they have not drank any since Postum came into the house, and are far more healthy than they were before." Read "The Road to Wellville," found in pks.

The Children's Day at the Metropolitan M. B. Sunday School, Sunday afternoon, and evening were out of the run of the usual exercises of that day. One of the most pleasing features of the afternoon was the distribution of diplomas passing the children from one department to another. These girls and boys had passed an examination in the studies of their several departments and had complied with the regulations of the same and therefore were transferred to higher departments. The diplomas were distributed by Superintendent Owens. The evening service, which had been prepared by Mr. George I. Simus, was a panoramic view of the rise and progress of the Negro from the time of leaving his home in the wilds of Africa until the present time, and was divided into the primitive period, the formative period and the triumphant period. The entire review was the work of Mr. Simus and reflects great credit both upon Mr. Simus and the members of the school who so faithfully carried out his ideas. The different scenes were illuminated by calciumlights. A PLEASANT SURPRISE A very pleasant surprise was tendered Mrs. Annie Gardner at her residence 1112 E.
