The Afro-American

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXII. NO.44 COLORED MAN MAY LAND BIG POLITICAL PLUM President Wilson Said to Look With Favor Upon Such Appointment to Fill The Vacancy JOHNSON TO GO JULY FIRST Vardaman, Hoke Smith & Co. Expected To Fight Confirmation if Colored Man is Named Washington, June 26.—With the request from President Wilson that Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, vacate the position by July 1; colored Democrats have become busy in trying to land the place, which pays $4,000 a year. The position, as forecasted in the Afro-American Ledger a month ago, will probably go to representative colored Democrat. President Wilson, it is said, was much encouraged, after the confirmation of the Terrell appointment, and will name a colored man to succeed Mr. Johnson, even though Vardaman and Hoke Smith continue in their opposition. No colored Democrat, except George W. Buckner who succeeded Fred R. Moore as United States Minister to Liberia, has received a presidential appointment from the present administration. Adam E. Patterson was named to succeed J. C. Napier as Register of the Treasury, but he withdrew when Southern Senators announced that they would fight any colored candidate. Things seemed hopeless to colored Democrats until after leading men of the bar of the District of Columbia endorsed Robert H. Terrell, a Republican for reappointment as a judge of the Municipal Court for the District. His name was sent into the Senate, and he was confirmed after some delay and opposition. BISHOP WALTERS ACTIVE Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Negro Democratic League, has been very active in pressing the claims of colored Democrats for political preferment. He has repeatedly held conferences with leading men here, and at all times has urged that consideration be given the thousands of his followers who voted for Wilson in 1912. He was very active in aiding the confirmation of Judge Terrell. He has also succeeded in having named for good positions that did not require confirmation by the Senate. Henry Lincoln Johnson has been often attacked, but investigation has always shown that he was a capable official, combining efficiency with legal ability. The so-called Democratic Fairplay Association attacked the administration of his office and condemned the working together of white and colored employees. Mr Johnson, who has finished a four-year term, was not hurt by the attacks, however. Other colored men who have filled the position of Recorder of Deeds are: the late Frederick Douglass; the late C. H. J. Taylor, who was named by President Cleveland after the Senate had rejected his nomination for the position of Minister to Bolivia; Henry P. Cheatham and John C. Dancy. Attorney Penn, of Passaic, N.J. A. B. Cosey, of the same State, KONSTANTIN LINCOLN JOHNSON and James A. Ross, of Buffalo, N. V., are among those mentioned in connection with the Rev. J. Milton Waldron, of Washington, was an aspirant some months ago. It is rumored that some colored Democrats from the South may be given the position. HAVE USED HARSH LANGUAGE Wilberforce, O., June 25. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, elocutionist and teacher at Wilberforce University, was the target for abuse, it is said, by Bishop W. Chappelle, at the meeting of the board of trustees of Wilberforce University last Wednesday, Bishop L. J Coppin, it is said, strongly resented the language used toward Miss Brown. Bishop Chappelle, it is reported, refused to apologize to Miss Brown. SUPREME QHANGELLOR GREEN'S FRIENDS TO SUE RAILROAD Augusta, Ga., June 25. Because of his arrest, temporary imprisonment and finings because he rode on a Pullman car in Florida on May 26, 1913, the friends of S. W. Green, supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, will ile suit against the L. and N. Railroad. Dr. George E. Stoney, of this city, has sent circular letters all over the country asking contributions toward a fund to fight the case. A PROTEST AGAINST Louisville, Ky., June 25.—A big protest meeting against the present race segregation law was held here Tuesday night. Strong addresses were made by a number of men. A defense fund was started and announcement was made that lawyers have been engaged to fight the obnoxious law. LILY WHITES WANT NO COLORED DELEGATES PRESENT Birmingham, Ala., June 25. When the State Republican Convention meets here on July 22, no colored delegates will be in attendance, if the plans of the lily whites carry. The action was decided upon several weeks ago. TENDERED A RECEPTION Ellicott City, Md., June 25. Rev. J. H. Goodrich was tendered a reception by the members of Mt. Zion M. E. Church. The affair was largely attended and the addresses delivered contained words of praise for Mr. Goodrich. He has been pastor of the church for the past 16 years. MANY BALTIMORE SOLDIERS IN CAMP What They Are Doing and How they Are Doing at the Schofield Barracks in Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, H. I., June 10th.—There are a number of Baitimore boys here connected with the 25th Infantry, and they are making good. Private George A. Kelly, who formerly lived on E. Fayette street, is a piano player of some reput and enlivens the boys frequently with his playing. He is a pupil of Miss Ethel Sangster, of Spokane. He is anxious to know the whereabouts of Miss Alice Sampson, a relative, who formerly lived on Hargrove street. Corporal James E. Patterson, the chief baker, and a non-commissioned officer, is somewhat of a poet and occasionally enlivens the club with some of his effusions. We have a club, composed of old Baltimore boys and they have lively times once in a while. It is called the Mid-Pacific Glee Club. Private William Cole, is the barracks tonsorialist and is exempt from all duties except target practice. Privates Earl Yates, of Franklin street and William Brown of Mulberry street, are much in evidence. A number of white soldiers started trouble with a number of colored soldiers recently and with the result that twelve colored soldiers will serve terms in the Leavenworth prison on a charge of conspiracy. Private Walter Jones of Company G., was the only one released as not being guilty. Henry Wise, the comedian, as Big Indian Chief, is making a hit in Hong Kong. China. The Wise and Milton show left Honolulu, for Hong Kong, and Shanghai, August 21st. Thence to Manilla, P. I. The entire company has been enjoying good health and doing well. While attending a banquet given by the Masons, the quarters of Corporal Patterson was entered and several valuable Oriental rugs with sixty dollars stolen. There is no clue to the thief. WHY NO COLORED DEMO- CRATS HAVE BEEN NAMED New York, June 25.—That the apparent inability of the leaders of the colored Democracy to get together is responsible for colored Democrats not receiving high political preferment at the hands of the present national Democratic administration is the opinion of George W. Queens county. He says: "While I deplore the attitude of the present administration toward colored Democrats, I cannot help from blaming Bishop Walters, Robert N. Wood, A. R. Cosley, James A. Ross, and others. If the leaders among colored Democrats would come together and reason among themselves, and then appoint Bishop Walters as chairman and a man like James D. Carr as spokesman of a delegation to wait upon President Wilson it would look more business like than greater results would ensue. That President Wilson has a large following in the Senate was in indicated in the vote on the confirmation of Judge Terrell and in the Panama canal tolls bill." Mr. Queen is a former Baltimore morean and has just been named by Governor Gwynn as a delegate to the Negro Educational Congress, which will be held in Oklahoma City.

ROSENWALD IS GENEROUS Will Duplicate Dollar for Dollar for all Money Raised in Rural Districts for School- Chicago, Ill., June 15.—Last week Dr. Boojer T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, visited Chicago for the purpose of reporting to Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist, regarding the use that has been made of certain monies appropriated by Mr. Rosenwald a short while ago for the purpose of building schoolhouses in some of the rural districts of the South. In each case the people of the community were asked to do as much as they could toward the building of the schoolhouse by making cash contributions, contributions in materials, or labor. The report made by Dr. Washington was so satisfactory that Mr. Rosenwald has decided to go ahead with the experiment on a large scale, and has agreed to duplicate dollar for dollar whatever sum is raised in any rural district in the South for schoolhouse buildings. The experiment which Dr. Washington has been carrying out has been kept very quiet for the reason that Mr. Rosenwald was anxious to test out the experiment before making any public announcement regarding it. One of the crying needs in the South is good schoolhouses in the country districts where a majority of our people live. Untilthis need is met the masses of our people will in a large measure remain in ignorance. The securing of these schoolhouses through the generosity of Mr. Rosenwald marks a long step forward in the advancement of our race. Any number of communities in the South will, it is expected, within a few months meet the conditions demanded by this gift. Every time a schoolhouse is built in one of these country communities it will bring new hope and confidence to our people. TO PREVENT TIPPING, Washington, June 25.—A bill designed to prevent tipping of porters on railroad trains has been introduced in the Senate by Senator Works. It also makes unlawful the payment of less than living wages to such employees. Pullman and other railroad porters have long been dependent on tips to get a living their salaries being too small. PRICE THREE CENTS TO BOOST FORMER GOVERNOR SULZER New York, June 25.—In an address before the Equity Congress Sunday, former Governor William Sulzer stated that if he was returned to the gubernatorial chair that he would muster in the providional colored regiment. He received his efforts to bring about equality between the two races and groused much enthusiasm. Louis A. Leavelle has been elected chairman of a campaign committee to boost his candidacy. Paris, June 26: Jack Johnson and Moran, a white hope, will contest for the World's heavyweight championship in France today (Saturday). The fight will be one of great interest especially to those who have been chagrined since Johnson wrested the championship from Jim Jeffries, a white man. There are some who claim that Johnson has gone back, that he still feels the attack of pneumonia that he had two years ago and Moran will be an easy winner. Others have cried that the bout has been fixed so that Johnson will win, but against, this lire of argument is the contention by ring devotees that the fight will be strictly on the level. VAUDEVILLE AN ARTISTIC SUCCESS Nearly One Thousand Persons See Best Colored Performers at the Lyric—Local Talent Score Heavily Nearly 1,000 persons attended the benefit for Provident Hospital at the Lyric Thursday evening. The crowd was not as large as the one that attended the benefit at Ford's Theater last July, but the bill offered was better in many re- Abbie Mitchell, an old Baltimore girl, sang a number of songs, her rendition of "Lady Nicotine" being especially well received. She was accompanied on the piano by Will Marion Cook, who wrote most of her numbers. Lewis Murray and Mrs. Norma Marshall, both of this city, won the plaudits of the audience for the presentation of modern society dances, such as the tango, the hesitation and the maxixe. The overture was "The Perfect Trot," composed by Ford T. Dabrey, the general director. The orchestra Ford's Grand Opera House also played "The Castle Walk," with Mr. Dabney, its composer, directing. The Aarants, Bob and May Kemp, Lottie King and Effie Gee were among others on the bill. S. H. Dudley and his mule Patrick, attended by William Hodgkins, also came in for applause. James Reese Europe directed the orchestra. Most of those appearing practically donated their services. The benefit was promoted by the Citizen's Committee of, Provident Hospital, TRAINING SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT The first annual commencement of the Teachers' Training School was held at the Lyric last Saturday night. The address to the graduates was delivered by Rev. W. C. Jason, principal of the Delaware State College. The graduates were: Mary R. Allen, Nettie V. Barnett, Hattie B. Hicks, Adah E. V. Penn, Margaret L. Rusk, Myrtie G. Smith, Edna L. Waters, Frank E. Barnes, Nannie W. Gray, Sarah F. James, Mable E. Locks and Jane C. Smith. JOHNSON--MORAN FIGHT TONIGHT DALY TO ERECT NEW $75,000 THEATRE. New Theatre to Be Devoted Exclusively to the Staging of First-class Vaudeville and Pictures SEATING CAPACITY, 1,500 White Promoters Said to be Planning Large Project In Opposition to Mr. Daly Bids will be asked in a few days for estimates on the erection of a $75,000 theatre at 1008 Pennsylvania avenue. The theater will seat 1,500 persons and will be L-shapled, running to Greenwillow street. The Pennsylvania side will be an arcade used as an approach to the theater proper. W. H. Daly, the promoter of the enterprise, has been successfully engaged in the theatrical business for six years. The structure will be the handsomest ever erected by a colored owner in this city. Mr. Daly has no connection whatever with the reported project to build a theater on the site of the A. M. E. Zion Church on Pennsylvania avenue. The name of Daly has been used, however, by certain gentlemen who have approached the colored business men in an effort to have them subscribe for stock in the venture for the church property. Mr. Daly's name was connected with the position of manager for the new venture. His reported salary was $18 a week. When approached by a representative of the Afro-American Ledger, Mr. Daly said that he had no connection whatever with the stock promoting venture. He laughed at the idea that his services could be secured for as small an amount as $18 a week. It is said that a white man called Daly was introduced to prospective investors in the church proposition this week. S. H. Dudley, the comedian, and Andrew F. Thomas, of Washington, are said to be slated for the positions of managing the theater that may be erected on the church site. This proposition it is said, is being promoted entirely by white men. A query made to Washington Friday morning over the long distance telephone brought the tidings from Mr. Dudley's secretary that Dudley and Mr. Thomas would manage the new enterprise. The success of Mr. Daly in the theatrical business has. it is said, made Hebrew investors think that big money awaits them if they enter into competition with him. He was recently forced out of his property at 938 Pennsylvania avenue and his name has been coupled with a number of ventures with which he has had absolutely no connection in order to attract the unwary investor. He is no way tied up with this class of promoters. RAILROAD COMPANY MUST PAY $500 Hopkinsville, Ky., June 25.—The Louisville and Nashville Railroad was fined $500 in the Christian County Circuit Court Wednesday of last week for failure to give colored passengers equal accommodations. The railroad will carry the case to the State Supreme Court. --- EXPERT REPORTS WORK OF RACE Bureau of Industrial Records, of Which the Hon. John L. Rockey Is Chief, Employs Noted Sociologist to Investigate Conditions Among the Colored Citizens of Pennsylvania. For the first time in the nation's history a state department has undertaken an exhaustive study of the industrial condition of the Negroes within its borders, using a member of the race who is an expert to do the work. The bureau of industrial statistics of the state of Pennsylvania through its chief, Hon. J. L. Rockey, is the pioneer in this matter, and it is hoped that his example will be followed in other states, Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., of Philadelphia is the sociological expert who conducted the investigation, which covered a year and has taken up 195 pages of type matter. The report is entitled "A Study of the Industrial Conditions of the Negro Population of Pennsylvania, and Especially of the Cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh." We learn in this study that the great majority of Negro workers in the state are immigrants from southern states, chiefly Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina. Statistical tables are given which show that a larger percentage of Negroes work in the state than whites, that four times as large a percentage of colored women are at work than whites. While most of them are in un- R. R. WRIGHT, PH. D. skilled labor, a great number have entered new trades and professions that were unknown to the race a half century ago. In 1912 there were in Philadelphia fifty-nine practicing physicians, six pharmacists, twenty-one dentists and in Pittsburgh twenty-eight physicians, seven dentists and eleven pharmacists. These professional men represented nearly every large institution in the country. In Professional and Business Life. There were also eighty-five colored teachers in the public schools of Philadelphia, none in Pittsburgh. Sataries of teachers ranged from $30 per month to $2,100 per annum. There were 1,108 businesses in Philadelphia and 355 in Pittsburgh. Barbers were in the lead, there being 135 barbers; 111 restaurants, 73 in the carpet cleaning business, 71 grocers, 40 expressmen, 30 tailors, 36 cigar dealers, 34 employment agencies and 30 hair culturists. The study tells that 390 of these businesses have $392,480 capital invested. Business concerns among our people pay as good wages for the same work as whites. There are 335 such firms, which employ 901 persons, paying a total wage of from $3 per week to $150, and 322 firms pay each week $1.356.30 per week to Negro employees. Says the author, "On this basis it is estimated that the Negro firms of these two cities pay in wages, chiefly to employees of their race, about $30,000 per week." Remarkable Achievements of Women. The women of the race are no longer wholly in domestic service, though this field is large. There were in Philadelphia 14,005 colored women at work and 1,724 in Pittsburgh. They were artists, clergywomen, literary and scientific persons, musicians, actresses, teachers, physicians and surgeons, clerks, accountants, agents, stenographers, forewomen, restaurant keepers, nurses and midwives, boarding house keepers, hairdressers, domestics, etc. The two oldest practicing physicians in Philadelphia are women. The oldest teachers are women. One woman teacher has taught forty-six years, another forty-two, another thirty-eight. A Negro woman conducts the leading undertaking establishment. Another Negro woman conducted a similar establishment in Philadelphia for over fifty years. Dr. Wright makes a detailed inquiry of 107 white firms, which employed 3,676 colored persons, as to efficiency of these employees, and the results are interesting indeed. A portion of this section is as follows: "As to the efficiency of colored workers, 161 of 179 employers in Philadelphia answered the question, 'Are Negroes as efficient as whites in the same grade of work?' One hundred and thirty-six, employing approximately 2,000 Negroes, answered in effect yes; ten firms, hiring 643 colored persons, said they were more efficient, and fifteen firms, hiring 127, said they were less." Those reporting Negroes as more efficient were businesses in which they were employed as follows: "More so in some cases," porters, engineers, laundry maids, cooks; "better" for junior, "better" for cook, "more so" for porter, "better" for general utility, "better" for porter and duster, "better" for asphalt laborers, "better" for porter and bootblack, "better" for shipping clerk, "better" for railroad waiters and cleaners. Those reporting Negroes as less efficient were businesses as follows: "Not up to Americans in school training," "not satisfactory" as sewers, "not quite" as driver, "no" on account of old age, "no" for coal drivers, "better than native Americans, but not as good as foreigners," "no" for porters, "no" for callers and drillers. Moral and Economic Responsibility. "Regularity and punctuality are two traits of character which were not deeply impressed upon the Negroes by slavery, and a study of the answers of employers as to those traits of character will show much as to the Negroes' progress during freedom in acquiring an economic as well as a moral character. As to regularity, 162 employees answered the question. "How do Negroes compare with whites as to punctuality?" 152 said favorably, three said Negroes were more regular and seven said they were less so. As to punctuality 165 answered, 152 saying that there was no difference among the races, ten said Negroes were as good as whites in this respect and three said they were better. "As to their restlessness or desire to change 153 answered, 128 saying they observed no difference between their black and white workmen and twenty-four saying that Negroes were more restless than whites and one saying the Negro workmen were less restless than whites. "In Pittsburgh twenty-two firms reported Negroes quite as efficient as whites in the same work, while four firms employing 199 Negroes reported Negroes better in some respects than whites, one stating that Negroes were better as waiters, another they were better in repair work in steel mills and two that they were better as janitors. Two firms employing four Negroes said they were not efficient." "As to regularity twenty-eight employers in Pittsburgh gave the Negro employees a good record, some saying they were in this respect very satisfactory," while two said they were less regular than other employees. Twenty-eight Pittsburgh employers said the Negroes were all satisfactory in regard to punctuality, while two employing five Negroes declared they were not. As to whether the Negroes stick to their work or make frequent changes twenty-nine reported. Four reported that the Negroes were not as restless as the whites, while five reported that they were more restless, and twenty reported that the Negroes stick well to their work." A limited number of these reports may be secured from the bureau of industrial statistics, Harrisburg, Pa., free of charge. FRANK JENKINS VICTOR IN BIG CHAMPIONSHIP MEET. Far Rockaway (N. Y.) Boy Swiftest Runner in Athletic League. By two record breaking performances at the annual high school track and field championship meet on the public school athletic field in Brooklyn the second week in June. Frank Jenkins of Far Rockaway, N. Y., added new laurels to his already brilliant record. Jenkins started off very calmly in the mile run, but suddenly took on speed which made him the winner by fifteen yards. He covered the distance in 4 minutes 35.4-5 seconds, elipsing the old record of 4 minutes 40.3-10 seconds established by Young of Manual Training High school in 1907. Following this splendid piece of running, the negro lad came back in the half mile and in an exhibition of grit and pluck fairly lurched over the finish line, his last ounce of strength spent, in 2 minutes 31-5 seconds, obliterating the mark set by Abel Kivitat, the Irish American A. C. runner, when he competed for Curtis High in 1909, making it home in 2 minutes 44-5 seconds. Jenkins was the only colored boy running in the meet. ALPHA INSTITUTE CLOSES. New Jersey School Fostered by the Baptists Ends Successful Year. The Alpha institute recently held its commencement exercises in the Bethsaida Baptist church, Newark, N. J., the baccalaureate sermon being preached by the Rev. J. R. Brown, one of the influential Baptist clergymen of Newark. At the special exercises held in the Women's Christian Temperance union hall Page M. Feverly, president of the school, gave in detail in his annual address the achievements of the school during the year. The musical and literary program rendered by the graduates and students was one of much merit. The school is fostered by the Baptist denomination of New Jersey and is meeting in a very definite and practical way the needs of its students. Besides other visitors, friends and patrons of the institution there were twenty-two clergymen present who are directly interested in the work and management of the institution CHEERING NEWS FROM KANSAS MANY THRIFTY MERCHANTS Heights Reached by Our People In Business, the Professions, Trades, Agricultural Pursuits and Religious Culture In the Sunflower State. What the Women Are Doing. Topeka, Kan.—In my trips over the country seeking information respecting the status of the race in the business world, I have not, as it might be suspected, confined my visits exclusively to the south. I have taken in sections in the east where many of the race study Greek and Latin, with no expectation of ever tracing a Greek hieroglyphic or ever tracing the Latin derivative of an anglicized word. I have visited the middle west, where the hurry chase for the almighty dollar allows little if any rest. I have visited Kansas, the Sunflower State, which Ingalls made famous by his matchless eloquence and where "Sockless" Jerry Simpson essayed to stop its clock of progress with his wild, rustic theories. When I came to Topeka, I admit. I was not prepared to believe that the race in this section was making such splendid strides forward in the business world. The success the race is achieving out here in a business way furnishes a denial to the statement that it requires obstinate discrimination and segregation to usher the race into the business arena. In Topeka the Negro votes and his vote is counted. He has been honored with responsible offices. Out here his homes are not segregated and he has a pretty fair chance to prove his ability. There is a strong Negro business league in this city, and in all my travels I have noted that wherever there exists a strong, active business league we find the race is making wonderfully rapid strides along business lines. While In Topeka I was the guest of John M. Wright, whose name and high standing are the pride of Topeaks, white as well as black. He is a man that has been uniting in his efforts to push the race in Topeka to the fore in business, and in many other ways. There are forty-two lines of business activity in which our people are represented in this city, fifteen trades and six professions. Although Topeka has a colored population of but 5,000, the race has $150,600 invested in business enterprises and owns $700,000 worth of real estate. Kansas is a great farming state, and the colored farmers keep pace with the whites, for there are 100 successful farmers and twenty gardeners among them whose cultivated acres he so close to Topeka as to make them Topekans. There are seven physicians, one dentist, two pharmacists, five lawyers, three trained nurses and thirty schoolteachers in Topeka who make up the professional class and who with the pastors of the twenty-one churches diffuse culture the equal of that found in the social centers of the east. Here I found, as in many places in the south, our women crowding into the business world and competing most successfully with the men. Mrs. John M. Wright manages, with the success of a male impresario, a theater; Miss Lena Thompson is a successful baker, Mrs. C. M. Ray conducts a chirpology parlor, Mrs. Elsie Clark leads in the millinery business, while Mrs. Guy manages an insurance office. There is a pretty fair recognition of the brother in black in the distribution of political plums, as is shown by the fact that the city gives employment to thirty, the county to four, the state to fifteen and the federal government to eight. The public schools of Topeka are most admirably conducted, perfect harmony prevailing and both teachers and pupils intelligently and enthusiastically responding to the demand for more and better education for the race. Professor John Harrison, a former Ohioan, is making wonderful success as principal of the high school. The board of education has given him a fine modern fireproof building. Professor Roundtree, principal of one of the grade schools, is also enthusiastically equipping colored boys and girls for advancement. Frequently one forms an opinion of the occupants of a home by the character of the books the library contains. Most frequently one judges a town by the character of the homes he finds. One is at once impressed with the neat, taste and beautiful homes here owned and occupied by people of our race. These homes tell the story of progress being made by the race in Topeka, and the interior arrangement of these homes bespeaks the quiet refinement of their occupants. I met while here the irrespassible Nick Chiles, editor and owner of the Plain-dealer. Mr. Chiles is one newspaper owner among us who is a living evidence that a newspaper can be made to buy. The Flaindealer has one of the most complete plants of any newspaper in the country and is located in its own commodious building on the main street. The editor and owner also possesses in fee simple a beautiful city home and a fine farm just out from the city. WE HAVE IT Madison'4125-2785 TERRELL & McNEILL PHARMACISTS "Different from the rest."

Bridgeport, Conn.—The twenty-first annual meeting of the New England Baptist Sunday school and Baptist Young People's convention was held in this town at the Messiah Baptist church Tuesday and Wednesday, June 16 and 17. Immediately after the devotional services Tuesday morning the convention was called to order by the president, N. Barnett Dodson, who read the rules of order and appointed the various committees. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Miss Isabel Carter and Fred A. Stevens of the Messiah Sunday school. The response to these addresses in behalf of the convention was made by Mrs. Mary S. Tribbitt of the Cherry Memorial Sunday school of Philadelphia. After vocal and instrumental music the audience gave a liberal contribution in aid of the work and the convention was adjourned with prayer until 2 o'clock. The afternoon session was opened with the usual praise service which was led by Massachusetts delegates. The committees on enrollment of delegates and new schools made their reports which showed an increase over last year. The treasurer's report was also encouraging because of the large cash balance in hand and in bank after paying all expenses. The topic for open discussion was "The Mission of the Baptist Young People's Union." The discussion was led by a delegate from the Bethany Baptist Young People's union of Newark, N. J. An immense audience was present at the evening session, which was begun with devotional services led by delegates from New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The music for this session was rendered by the Messiah Sunday school and a quartet from the B. Y. P. U. of the Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn. The annual address by the president covered most every phase of Sunday school work and was a feature of the evening session. The general topic for discussion was "Christianity—How It Should Be Applied." This topic was opened by Mr. Kufus M. Meroney, a graduate of Yale and the secretary of the Carlton avenue branch of the Y. M. C. A. in Brooklyn. About fifteen delegates took part in the discussion. Wednesday morning, June 17, after the praise service, which was led by delegates from New York and Washington, an open parliament on Sunday school problems, which included the several departments of the graded Sunday schools, was held. The rest of the session was devoted to hearing reports from the various schools, standing committees and new business. When it came to the election of officers the rules were suspended, and N.

The "Jim Crow" and disfranchisement cases, however, went over until the fall term. Pretty hot weather to decide such hot cases. Takes cool weather for this kind of work as well as cool heads. President Wilson has expressed a desire that the Mason and Dixon's line should be wiped out, and that there shall be no North nor South in this country. We are perfectly willing that this should be so providing in wiping out the line all that line stood for and still stands for shall be wiped out with it, otherwise it had just as well stand. WHY WAS HE ABSENT? Mayor Preston was conspicuous by his absence at both of the colored school commences. On Saturday night he evidently had forgotten all about it for he had to be called up on the telephone and informed that the exercises were awaiting his august presence. He then told those who called him up to have City Councilman Harry Cummings act in his place. This is not the first time His Honor has treated the colored school commences with indifference. In the first colored school commencement he attended he attempted to ignore the handshaking part of the program until one of the graduates held out her hand and waited for him to shake it. After this he shook hands with the rest of the graduates. President Hubert of the Second Branch City Council presented the diplomas on Friday night and did it very neatly indeed. We wish to commend him for his neat speech, even if he did not sanction Prof. Hawkins' suggestion that the city give us a new High School building. THE A. M. E. CHURCH'S CRISIS The African Methodist Episcopal Church is facing a crisis in its history which will need the best and most earnest efforts on the part of those in the leadership to deal with it in the most careful manner. We refer to the pastorate in our larger and more influential churches. The time limit has been removed in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and it is only a matter of time when the same will have to be done in the African Methodist Church. The recent trouble in Trinity Church, this city, is the natural outcome of removing a pastor because of the time limit and sending another there who was not in accord entirely with the leading membership of the church. Evidences multiply all around us as to the value of allowing pastors to remain as long as they are useful and the people desire them to remain with them. Another thing will have to be taken into consideration, and that is that the constant changing of pastors is not always beneficial to the church membership nrr to the other interests of the church. More and more the people are desiring an opportunity to be heard as to who the pastors shall be, and the "Godly judgement" of the Bishop is not always to be relied upon. Bishops are human, and like all other classes of humanity, liable to make mistakes, and many times mistakes which do incalculable harm. We hear often the remark from some of the ministers that certain of their number are always kept good places in the cities, while they are kept out in the country districts. It must be re-membered that some men qualify themselves for the large pulpits while others do not. Those who do qualify themselves ought not to be disqualified from filling good positions simply to give room for others who are not so well qualified but want the places because of their prominence. The large churches support the Bishops and other interests and this matter should be taken into consideration as well as many other things. A careful consideration of these matters is advisable. AN OBNOXIOUS HABIT. If there is one evil in this city which ought to be abated it is the crowds that make a habit of following every procession and band in the city. Hundreds of half dressed women and girls, boys and men follow these bands and crowd people off the sidewalks and make themselves a general nuisance. Some of them cut up all kinds of shines, dancing and capering all over the sidewalk and making a general exhibition of themselves. Just why the police allow this thing to continue again and again without making any effort whatever to stop it is a mystery. That it is a nuisance no one can deny. One hardly ever sees it anywhere else but in Baltimore. Just why these people cannot stand on the sidewalk and watch the procession as it goes by instead of following it all over town is a puzzle. It can only be accounted for on the ground that the police not interfering gives them room to believe that they have the privilege of making themselves generally obnoxious to the public. If the Police Commissioners would only give the order to the officers to make a number of arrests every time the thing happens, there is no doubt but in a very short time the thing would be broken up. We see no good reason why it should be allowed to continue. We believe it is the concensus of opinion of all the best class of people that it is a nuisance and a stop should be put to it at once. In order that this nuisance shall be abated, we welcome the opinions of all who favor its discontinuance. The matter can then be taken up with the Police Commissioners, and no doubt they will act. Perhaps the reason why it has not been broken up long ago, is because in doing so the police authorities feel that their action might be mistaken by the colored people and laid at the door of prejudice or discrimination. If this is true, let the colored people themselves make it plain to the police officials that they are in harmony with them in the effort and will aid them in any way possible. But by all means break i. up. OUR NATAL DAY. With the approach of "Independence Day" our minds naturally turn to the love of country. If ever any one had a right to be thoroughly patriotic such must be the American colored man. This is not only our country, but the presence of our God is discerned in nothing more clearly and potentially than in the steady ascendancy of the black race in this country. He who can not see such a luminous fact is verily blind indeed. We can and do rejoice that in every stage of our upward evolution there have been those among us, despite our handicap, who clearly displayed in their living personalities, in intellectual, moral, spiritual, and physical powers the fullness of the presence of the great Ruler of the Universe. That we THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER are yet denied the full enjoyment of many of our natural rights, instead of constituting a ground why we should refuse to be "patriotic," must furnish the most convincing reason why we should, of all other Americans, be intensely "patriotic." What other section of American citizens can display both in quality and magnitude, such remarkable growth as has characterised the black man since his first introduction to these shows? In this one fact we discern the presence of the Almighty Hand which is destined to fully accomplish His rich purposes among us. We love this country because it is our own native land. We love it because we have contributed the best within us towards realising its present prosperity and greatness. And above all we love this country of what we see in the future, by faith, when through our efforts, working together with the Almighty, the real ideal of Americanism shall be realised. The black race is instinctively patriotic, as it is instinctively religious. Nearly one hundred and twenty-five years ago when ours was but an infant republic, even then a patriotic Maryland black had the courage to show his love and his patriotism by reasoning with Thomas Jefferson with respect to the terrible inconsistency of the Declaration of Independence with the presence of human bondage. Benjamin Banneker was not only great because of his scientific knowledge and advance, realised under great difficulties, but he was both morally and spiritually great. He loved his people. He loved his country. He labored to free his country of the curse of slavery, while his own personality proclaimed the possibility of the race he loved, if the country would only be true to itself. When one reads Banneker's letter to Thomas Jefferson, in 1793, he is instructed with respect to the true mode of procedure, even in our own day, in battling against the "caste" spirit. Beautiful diction, manly and forceful argument, but neither vulgarity or sensational race nonsense. Much like Frederick Douglass who was wont to dwell upon manhood, not black manhood, but manhood alone. One paragraph from Banneker's letter we give, for it portrays the sweetness, the disinterestedness of a man, both or education and refinement, ane yet conscious of oneness with his brethren in chains. The most valuable part of the Banneker letter is the spirit which it so beautifully reveals. In a portion of the letter is this paragraph: "Sir:—I freely and cheerfully acknowledge that I am of the African race; and, in that color which is natural to them, of the deepest dye; and it is under a sense of the most profound gratitude to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe that I now confess to you that I am not under that state of tyrannical thraldom and inhuman captivity to which too many of my brethren are doomed; but that free and unequal liberty with which you are favored, and which I hope you will willingly allow you have received from the immediate Hand of that Being from whom proceedeth "every good and perfect gift." ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE FORMS A MERGER For purposes of greater efficiency the Maryland Anti-Saloon State League has been merged into the National Anti-Saloon League of America and Maryland and Delaware formed into the Maryland Department with Baltimore as headquarters. What has been the Colored Department of the Maryland State League, under the supervision of Rev. D. DeWitt Turpeau is now to be known as the Colored Work of the Maryland Department of the National League. The work of the colored superintendent is therefore greatly enlarged, having added to his already large territory the State of Delaware. Rev. Turpeau is making his work count and the League management is greatly pleased with his work, so much so that it is said at the main office that his work in the Charles county campaign well earned his years salary. He is at present attending the conventions of the various churches in his territory and is well received. The Carroll county campaign will be opened soon and the 1200 or more colored voters in that county must be had in line before it can be safely counted for the "Drys." The influence of Baltimore and Frederick city will make the battle a different proposition from what Rev. Turpeau met in Charles county and he is admonished to be on his Ps. and Qs. Mr. Arnett Murphy of editorial staff of the Afro-American Ledger is undergoing treatment for eye trouble Mr. Editor: Please allow me space in your paper to express some of my views concerning the Alumni Association of the colored High School. For a long time I have observed with a great deal of pain, I must confess, the apparent lack of interest in the Association or anything pertaining to the welfare of the school on the part of its graduates. First one reason then another is assigned in explanation; but after weighing the matter carefully I have about concluded that it all can be summed up in the one word indifference. It is hardly possible to conceive of a school which has sent out over seven hundred graduates, who are so disloyal to her as to forget her entirely after graduation. Yet such is the situation we face. Over seven hundred men and women who owe what they are to her, but so inappreciative of what she has done for them that on Alumni Day she cannot muster two hundred of her children willing to do her honor. Something is wrong; and I am forced to the conclusion that we, as a people, have not yet learned the lesson of school loyalty. If my readers, graduates of our High School, will only observe the City College, Eastern, Western and Polytechnic they may, perchance, get some of the inspiration which the graduates of these schools so abundantly furnish. Lay aside your indifference. Remember what you owe the High School. Give her that veneration which is due her. Do not criticise from without, but join her loyal sons and daughters and make Alumni Day mean something. J. W. WOODHOUS, 98, 537 Presstman street. Editor of Forum: I am not sending this to the Booster Knock column for fear you might think it a knock when it is not intended as such. I would like to ask your progressive manager, if it is not possible to print in your paper each week one or two of the sermons preached the Sunday previous to each edition. There are a number of able ministers in our city who deliver able and masterly sermons and the hundreds of your subscribers who now read the sermons of our white friends would delight in reading something delivered by our own race published in our leading race paper. JAMES E. NEAL. 1716 Division street.

A minute to laugh and an hour to weep in, A pint of joy to a peck of trouble, And never a laugh but the moans come double; And that is life. A crust and a corner that love makes precious, With the smile to warm and the tears to refresh us: And joy seems, sweeter when cares come after And a moan is, the finest of foils for laughter: He sang of fire, serenely sweet, With now and then a deeper note. From some high peak, nigh yet remote, He voiced the world's absorbing beat. He sang of love when earth was young, And love itself, was in his lays. But ah, the world, it turned to praise. praise A jingle in a broken tongue. In 1872, in the city of Dayton, Ohio, Paul Laurence Dunbar was born of ex slave parents. Poverty and lack of success were to follow him thru most of his life until carried away by death in the prime of his career. He finished the Dayton High School with honors and was author of the class song sung at the commencement exercises. From then on began his struggles to support himself and mother. His first book "Oak and Ivy" was written and published while an elevator boy. This volume with his second effort "Majors and Minors" brought him recognition and the friendship of several prominent men including W. D. Howells, the author, but only a small financial return. The chief disappointment in his life, however, came not because he was black and poor, or because of his unhappy marital relations, but because men did not appreciate his poems that voiced "the world's absorbing beat" but turned rather to praise his jingles "in a broken tongue." The jingles in a broken tongue, his poems dialect, are his best known works. These Mr. Howells regards as Dunbar's distinctive contribution to literature, in the sense that many writers might have written some of his other poems, but no one besides Paul Laurence Dunbar could have written those in dialect. "When Malid's Sings," "The Party," "Little Brown Baby" and "The Rivals" have had numerous imitators but no successors. Just here was the tragedy of his life. His fame first rested on these pieces in dialect with their flashes of human pathos and the world did not conceive that he could write anything else. To his more serious efforts his friends would reply, "is well writ, but where's the joke?" And so he must limit his strivings to the making of jingles in dialect when the instinct of the poet within him cried out for a different expression of itself. "Ere Sleep comes down to soothe the weary eyes," "Life," "Conscience and Remorse" are types of his ability when unhampered by considerations of dialect. Mrs. 1da Holland, who has been ill at her home, 792 W. Mulberry street, is improving. Bishop John Hurst and Rev. A. L. Gaines have returned from Xenia, O., where they attended the commencement exercises of Wilberforce University. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER BOOSTS AND KNOCKS It really makes one laugh to hear opponents of Sunday baseball talk about the working man using his half-day on Saturday to play ball or indulge in any other diversion that may suit his fancy. As a matter of fact, not forty per cent of the working people in Baltimore are allowed a half-day holiday on Saturday. It might be well to note also that practically all of those ultra-religious people who are opposed to giving to the hard-working boys and young men a chance to enjoy themselves in a clean, manly way, have ample time during the week days to indulge in the recreations which they are working so hard to keep from others on the only day in the week which they can call their own. And with all this our boys and girls are still taught in the public schools that this country guarantees to every man the "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." SANE COMMENCEMENTS Reform in any line of endeavor is sure to operate whenever so much attention is paid to the form that the essence suffers, or whenever feeling dictates to reason. The man who spends much of his time in taking need what he shall wear, very often neglects his head, runs a proverb that is well worn. The reform, that has followed the sober judgment applied to Fourth of July celebrations, is an example of reason overtaking feeling in the long run. This is the season of the sweet girl and the proud boy graduate. Generally overlooked, but always in the background, stand the fond parents, who forgetful of their own meagre educational opportunities, under the spell of the moment only rejoice in the outward evidence of youths' success. What of labor and care it has cost them to make this possible, the graduate does not know, very probably never will know and never understand. Looking away from them for a moment to the magnificent dress of those who occupy the stage, and mindful of the line of carriages and automobiles that stand before the theatre, little doubt remains that reason is being pressed to the background and form overemphasized. Indicative of the reaction for a " Jane" commencement is a statement of Dr. Lucy Moten, of the Washington Training School No. 2, that the graduates of that institution are to wear " shirtwaists and skirts, black shoes and stockings, no paint and no powder." Moreover, they are not to have carriages or carry flowers. Under these conditions male graduates may not wear evening dress. Like regulations, self imposed, it is understood, and therefore exclusive of the paint and powder clause are said to obtain in our own Training School. The Training School is setting an example of academic simplicity that the High School would do well to follow. Parents who send children to school year after year, thru the grades and the High School wearing heads grey and fingers to the bone, that John and Mary may have money to dress and to spend like the others, often wonder why years of schooling have not educated why John is not more self reliant and ambitious, Mary more thoughtful and thrifty.? How can they possess these qualities when the means of gaining them have been withheld? The things we value most are those that have cost us the most in labor. Dr Butterick of the General Educational Board puts it well: "Its not so much Education as the struggle for Education that educates." BOOSTER KNOCK BAPTISTS CONSOLIDATE. A prelude to the uniting of the Colored Baptist and the Cooperative Baptist Conventions occured Monday, when the United Baptist Ministers' Conference and the Colored Baptist Ministerial Meeting met in joint session at Union Baptist Church, dissolved and formed the Cooperative Baptist Ministerial Meeting of Baltimore and Maryland. The leading Baptist ministers of the city and State have been divided into two camps for the past fifteen years, having separate conventions and for most of the time separate ministerial meetings. The union brings together such men as Revs. Harvey Johnson, A. Brown, F. R. Williams, P. C. Neal, W. M. Alexander and D. G. Mack. The ministers elected the following officers: Revs. F. R. Williams, president; John W. Jones, vice president; David Bryant, secretary, and A. H. Mayo, treasurer. Meetings will be held every Monday at Union Baptist Church. SUMMER BOARDERS WANTED.

Will call 4t --- Rev. Dr. Moses is a Shining Star of His Denomination. With Voice and Pen Eminent Preacher Conters Honor on His Race and His Religion—"Life of Our Lord," From His Hand, Praised by Literary Critics. Knoxville Town—The Virginia Theological Seminary and College, located in Lynchburg, the pride of the Baptists of Virginia, has furnished to the state and country some of the strongest men and women of the race, and they are being heard from in all parts of the country. Rev. Dr. William H. Moses, pastor of the Mount Zion Baptist church, Knoxville, is one of the brightest stars. Dr. Moses is regarded as one of the leading pulpit orators and speakers of the race and has recently taken his place among the leading Negro authors. His latest book being "The Life of Our Lord," which is considered one of the most of its kind that has ever been written by any one. It is told in an interesting and instructive manner and put so plainly that the smallest child may understand and get an insight into the life of Jesus Christ. Dr. Moses comes from a family of ministers. He is the senior of three Baptist ministers, S. A. Moses, pastor of the High Street Baptist church, Danville, Vau. and J. M. Moses, pastor of Memorial Baptist church, Philadelphia. The young pulpit owner and theologian was born in Charlotte county, Va. Dec. 21, 1872. He was reared largely by his grandfather, Richard Morton, and being his favorite boy was allowed the free use of his extensive library. Mr Morton was one of the largest landowners in that section of the country. It is to the form that Dr. Moses is indebted for his early work and practical training, for at the age of fourteen years he was performing a difficult task of plowing with two horses, and at the age of fifteen was able to chop as much wood and haul as many tails and cut as much grain as the average man in his prime. It was while thus engaged that he was converted and joined the Morrison Grove Baptist church, Charlotte Court House, Va. All this time he had not lost sight of his studies, but kept at them all the time. It is of interest to know that at the age of seventeen he was made overseer of the entire plantation of his grandfather, and it was in this position that he earned money enough to enter college. He had advanced sufficiently to enter the Virginia Theological Seminary and College to prepare for his life's work. At the age of twenty years he entered the school, and by the timely assistance of President Gregory W. Hayes, to whom he attributes much of his success, remained in school until he was graduated, carrying off class honors. He is today considered the richest scholar and ablest graduate the school has turned out. He imbibed the spirit of President Hayes. During his school life he made a good record, and his ability was recognized by the Mount Zion Baptist church, Stamton, Va., one of the largest churches in the state, which called him to the pastorate before he had completed his course at school. During the ten years he remained in Stamton he created for that aristocratic congregation a church costing $20,000 and a fine permanence. After much persuasion he was induced to accept a call from the Metropolitan Baptist church of Pittsburgh. He remained only a short time, because he accepted the position of field secretary for the foreign mission board of the National Baptist convention, with Dr. L. G. Jordan. As a mission worker Dr. Moses is said to have excelled any other man in his denomination, and the amount of money he collected for missions was larger by far than the combined collections of all missionaries in the district employed for the same length of time. Aside from his pastoral work and missionary efforts Dr. Moses has occupied, among other high positions, the office of corresponding secretary of the Virginia Baptist convention, editor of the Baptist Statesman, trustee of the Virginia seminary and college, of Morris college. Summer. S. C., and Nelson Merry college. Jefferson City, Tennessee. For a short time he was pastor of the First Baptist church. Newberry. S. C., and is at present pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist church, the leading church in west Tennessee. "The Life of Our Lord" is just recently from the press, and is being placed in many homes and among the ministers. Other literary productions are "The Negro Baptist Church." "Sanctification" and "A Young Man's Vision." Because of his literary attainments, deep piety and learning his alma mater conferred upon him the degree of doctor of dignity in May, 1907. The national Baptist convention, with which he has long been identified, looks upon him as one of the very able members, whose thundering voice has electrified it upon many occasions. WELL QUALIFIED PHYSICIAN. Long and Successful Career of Dr. A. A. Wyche. Charlotte, N. C.-Dr. A. A. Wyche of this city was born in Williamsboro, N. C., July 6, 1857. He began his education in the public schools of his native county and later attended the high school at Henderson, N. C. He subsequently matriculated in the Boydton institute, Boydton, Va., graduating from the same with the class of 1858. Following his graduation, he was appointed deputy register of deeds for Vance county, N. C., in which capacity he served for five years, when he resigned to accept the private clerkship to Hon. B. P. Cheatham, member of congress from the Second North Carolina district. Giving up this position. Dr. Wyche accepted a clerkship in the document folding room of the United States department of agriculture in Washington, which position he filled to the satisfaction of the department for a period of four years, resigning to take up the study of medicine at Howard university. After a year at Howard he went to the Leonard Medical school at Shaw university, Raleigh, N.C., where he was graduated with the class of 1897. He then returned to Howard university for a special course, having in the meantime taken a special business course in Stevens Commercial college. Although having successfully passed the North Carolina state board of medical examiners, Dr. Wyche did not immediately take up the practice of medicine, but accepted the position of corporation clerk in the office of the re- [Name] corder of deeds for the District of Columbia. Designating this position in January, 1885, he came to Charlotte, the Queen City of North Carolina, to enter upon the practice of his chosen profession. Here he has grown high in public favor. Dr. Wyche is a member of the faculty of the Nurses' Training school in connection with the Good Samaritan hospital, is visiting physician to Biddle university, vice president of the Queen City Medical society and secretary and treasurer of the North Carolina Medical. Pharmaceutical and Dental association. He is an active member of the National Medical association, has served as secretary to the medical section and filled by appointment positions on important committees and is now filling a three years' term on the executive board of this association. Aside from his professional relations, Dr. Wyche holds prominent positions in a number of industrial and civic organizations. He is a thirty-third degree Mason, a deacon and an active worker in his church and Sunday school. He owns property modestly valued at approximately $200,000, included in which is a splendidly appointed home, presided over by a devoted wife to whose amable disposition; good sense and sterling worth he is largely indebted for his success. His home is blessed, with three beautiful children. MEETING OF WOMEN'S CLUBS. New York State Organization Meets in Brooklyn July 1. Woman suffrage and the subject of temperance will play a prominent part at the annual meeting of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs, which will be held for three days beginning Wednesday morning, July 1, at the Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn. Among the noted white women to take part in the special session on temperance will be Mrs. Ella A. Boole, president of the New York State W. C. T. L. The Rev. Mrs. Florence Randolph, the most widely known woman preacher in the north among our people, will also be a prominent participant in each of the topics above mentioned. Mrs Mary B. Talbert of Ruffalo is president of the state organization and Mrs Alice W. Seay of Brooklyn is president of the borough society with which the federation meets. New Buildings For Country Schools. The past three years have witnessed a marvelous change in the character of the rural schoolhouses in Macon county, Ga. The one room weatherboard structure is fast disappearing. Through the efforts of the people in the various communities, fifty-three new schoolhouses of modern type have been built, and throughout the county there has been a great increase in school attendance. One white friend of the colored people has given upward of $300 to the school improvement fund as an encouragement to our people for the efforts they have made to secure better educational facilities for their children. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson Xlil.—Second Quarter. For June 28, 1914. Text of the Lesson, Heb. iv, 14 to v, 10. Quarterly Review—Golden Text, Luke xix, 10—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. LESSON 1.—Christ's Table Talk, Luke xiv, 7-23. Golden Text, Luke xiv, 11. "Every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted"—a threefold message in the house or one of the chief Pharisees who had invited Him to eat bread on the Sabbath day; a message on humility for the guests, on recompense at the resurrection for the host and man's indifference to God's provision and invitation for one of the guests who spoke of the kingdom. LESSON 11.—The Journey to Emmaus. Luke xxiv, 13-25. Golden Text, Romvii, 24. "It is Christ Jesus that died-yen, rather, that was raised from the dead." Here we see the reality of Christ's resurrection: body having the nail wounds in hands and feet, a tangible body of flesh and bones, that could be handled, that could walk and eat and also pass through unopened doors and vanish at pleasure. LESSON 11.—The Cost of Discipleship. Luke xiv. 25:55 Golden Text. Matt. xxi. 25. "Whoseover would save his life shall lose it, and whoseover shall lose his life for my sake shall find it." The difference between being a Christian and a disciple is very marked, the cost of our salvation falling wholly on Christ, but the cost of discipleship on the believer, salvation being a gift, but reward in proportion to service. LESSON 14.—The Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin. Luke xv. 1:10 Golden Text. Luke xv. 10. "There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth"—n. threefold parable concerning the love of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This lesson concerning the Son and the Spirit. The sinner's selflessness and proneness to stray is seen in the sheep, and his deathless in the peace of money. LESSON V. - The Lost Son. Luke xv. 11:24. Golden Text, to my father, 18. I will arise and go to my father and will say unto him Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight. That was not all he intended to say (verses 18. 10, but it was nearly all that he did say (verses 22). The father's welcome out it smart. The whole parable teaches us what God thinks of lost ones and how unwilling Lee is that any should perish. LESSOS VI. - The Unjust Steward. Luke xv1, 143. Golden Text. Luke xv1, 10. He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much, and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much. We are stewards of all that with which the Lord has incurred us, whether it be the gospel or talents or time or money, and we are using it either for ourselves or for Him, for time or eternity. LESSOS VIII. - The Rich Man and Lazerus. Luke xv1, 163. Golden Text. Prov. xx1, 13. "Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he shall also cry, but shall not be heard." This is a story of the rich poor and the poor rich. The rich man lived only for himself and had no use for God or Els word and no belief in a future till he found himself in peril. Lesson VIII.—Unprofitable Servants Luke xvii. 1-10. Golden Text, I Cor. 1, 21. "Be that glorious, let him glory in the Lord." If we do only what seems to be our duty, what we think we ought to do, we are unprofitable, but when the love of Christ constrained us and we are so occupied with Him and His kingdom and glory as to be above being offended with people or even with Himself, whatever Be may do, we shall better glorify Him Lesson IX.—The Grateful Samarianxvii. 11-19. Golden Text, Luke xvii. 1S. "Were there none found that returned to give glory to God save this stranger." We wrote on the Holy Spirit lesson in I Cor. ii, as well as on the leaper lesson, and saw that all unbelievers as well as Israel are spiritually lepers and unclean, but when the Holy Spirit, who alone can convince of sin, shines in us by Eis word, then come cleansing and real gratitude. LESSON X.—The Coming of the Kingdom, Luke xvii. 20-37. Golden Text, Luke xvii. 21. "Lo, the kingdom of God is within you"—more correctly, as in the margin, "among you." The kingdom which was at hand did not come as he said in Luke xix. 11, 12. The kingdom is postponed and will not come till He shall return in glory with His church, now being gathered. Lesson XI.—The Friend of Sinners, Luke xvii. 9-14: xix. 1-10 Golden Text, Mark ii. 17. "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners." There is no Saviour, nor salvation for such as think that they are good enough, but for such as the publican in the temple or Zaccheus, for poor or rich, there is abundant mercy and a welcome from Him who came to seek and to save the lost. Lesson XII. - The Great Refusal. Mark x. 17:31. Golden Text, Luke xvi. 13. "We cannot serve God and mammon." The great contrast is between the empty helpless little children who came to his arms and were blessed and the rich going ruler, full of his riches and his own righteousness, who went away empty because he was not willing to be emptied.
