The "Black Spurgeon's" Wit and Humor Thrills Thousands at Big Chautauqua Daily at People's Auditorium, South Central Ave. and East 15th Street Three Big Services Tomorrow----Sunday M. B. Volume 28 The "Bl Daily By Parson Mack. The great mid-summer Chautauqua and Religious Congress that began a ten days session last Sunday afternoon in the People's Auditorium, Central avenue and East Fifteenth street under the auspices of the Providence Institutional church of the city, with Rev. Dr. Alfred C. Williams as director general, has not only attracted thousands of the leading racement and women of Greater Los Angeles and surrounding towns, but among the great crowds that attend the sessions daily as profitted listeners are many of the prominent citizens of the white race, leaders in the religious, educational, professional and commercial world. Dr. Williams is to be congratulated upon the brilliant array of literary and musical talent assembled among them, such world famed celebrities as Dr. Charles T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., "The Black Spurgeon," the most eloquent pulpit orator in the world. It is said that the eloquent Georgian is the only Negro to have ever preached in the great Spurgeon Tabernacle, in London, England. Dr. Walker has not only addressed the crowned heads of the Old World, but by his fiery eloquence has swayed millions throughout the country in great religious, educational, fraternal and political gatherings. Dr. Walker is beyond question the greatest preacher of the age. The Negroes should consider themselves highly honored in having so distinguished a divine to address them during the great mid-summer Chautauqua. Dr. Walker has a gripping message for the masses. Thousands of Negroes should pack the People's Auditorium during the closing sessions of the Religious Congress to hear this eloquent Georgian, whose eloquence, wit, humor and satire keep his auditors in roars of laughter. There is not a dull moment. Another distinguished visitor present is Dr. John E. Ford, pastor of the greatest Negro Institutional church in the world, at Jacksonville, Florida. Dr. Ford is not only a great preacher and Bible expositor of international fame, but ranks as one of America's foremost psychologists, whose services are in great demand at religious con- THE NEW YORKER Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland, Cal., Aug. 15, 1915 THE ORCHESTRA gresse, Chautauquas and educational assemblies. Dr. Ford has not only traveled throughout America and Continental Europe, but has visited the Holy Lands, the historic River Jordan and traced the footsteps of the Man of Galilee over the hills of Olivet and the city of Jerusalem. It is worth going miles to hear this one of the great Bible expositors the race hase ever produced, a man that ranks with Dr. G. Campbell Morgan or F. B. Meyers, the noted English Bible teachers. Dr. Ford has a message, for the student, the Sunday School teacher, Bible scholar, the THE S. COLRIDGE-TAYDOR ORCHESTRA Rev. Dr. Joseph T. Hill "The Famed Singing Parson," director of the Great Chautauqua Chorus, America's Greatest Bass Soloist, young preacher, the minister, and the saint seeking for a higher spiritual life in the deep things of God. This eminent Bible expositor speaks at 2:30 and 7:30 o'clock. But the principal addresses on the interesting study of psychology is given at the afternoon hour, to which the admittance is free, and thousands of students and seekers who are studying the marvels of psychic phenomena should avail themselves of the opportunity of life to hear this remarkable man who is considered the greatest Negro psychologist before the American public. One of the interesting features of the afternoon session is the open parliament or question box; the auditors are invited to ask questions and join in a helpful discussion with the speakers, which creates much enthusiasm the brilliant race women of national reputation that addressed the Chautauqua were the famous Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, of Buffalo, New York, vice president National Association of Colored Women's Federated Clubs of America, whose forceful plea for Negro women, captivated the vast audience. Her talented daughter Miss Sarah May Talbert, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, rendered several classical numbers. Miss Talbert is one of the most accomplished pianiste of the race. On Wednesday evening Mrs. S. B. Layton, Philadelphia, president of the National Baptist Woman's convention, gave a very enthusiastic and helpful address, which won the applaudits of the enthused audience. Among the other eminent visitors and speak- THE MASTER OF THE MUSIC polished pastor of the First Baptist church, one of the leading white divines on the Pacific coast, and Dr. Matt E. Hughes, Pasadent, California's silvery tongued orator whose eloquence has stirred some of the largest religious conclaves in the world. Rev. J. L. Cohron of Fresno. Rev. H. Wade, Oxnard. Attorney Willis O. Tyler; Rev. Dr. W. H. Tilman also gave helpful and timely addresses. One of the greatest features of the great hCautauqua sessions is the big augmented choir of 200 of the most talented and sweet voiced Colored vocalists and soloists ever assembled in the far Pacific Southwest, under the superb direction of that peerless choral director, Rev. Dr. Joseph T. Hill of Big Zion, the renowned "Singing Parson," assisted by the famous Samuel Coleridge Taylor Symphony Orchestra under the leadership of Prof. H. T. Wheaton. This is beyond question one of the greatest aggregations of musical talent ever brought together in this section and to hear them sing the most difficult classics and plantation melodies, the songs of Dixie Land, is worth the price of a season ticket. Among the prominent soloists that are taking a leading part in the concerts are Madam Ella Hughley, Miss Minnie Albritton, Madam C. B. Hicks, Miss Antonette Young, Madam Shaffer, Mr. J. LeRoy Albright, tenor; violin, Mrs. C. P. Dones; piano, Miss Lorenza Jordan. Sunday a Red Letter Day. Three Great Services. Three Big Headliners. Commencing 10:45 o'clock.

Mrs. Bozette of St. Paul, Minn., is visiting Mr. and Mrs. McDaniels, 1043 60th street, Oakland. Mrs. Bozette is one of the leading citizens of St. Paul and her husband is captain of one of the fire departments of that city. Mrs. Anderson, sister of Mrs. T. McDaniels, also of St. Paul, is visiting her sister and the Fair. Mrs. Anderson's husband is a lieutenant of the fire department in St. Paul. The colored citizens turned out enmasse to the Atheletic games on last Saturday, to pull for Drew and other colored athletics. At the great championship events. The Strand Hotel, 1920 Past street had as guests during the past ten days: Mesdames M. Jessup, J. W. Smith, Wm. Dean, A. King and Miss Nellie Walton, all of Los Angeles. They all report a splendid time and that Mr. and Mrs. Lashey the best of landlords. We had the pleasure of attending the regular weekly meeting of the Literary Association last Tuesday evening at the assembly hall of the Bethel A. M. C. church at 1209 Powell street. Rev. J. A. Wilson, by establishing this work among our people here, has erected a monument to his credit and we hope an enduring one. Mr. Joseph A. Foreman, its president is the right type of man for this honorable position and all of the officers are interested in the work, for they evidence a keen appreciation of its importance to the members and the race at large. The evening was mainly devoted to honoring the name and work of our poet, Paul L. Dunbar. Every one present showed a becoming appreciation and pride in the sweet songs of this Negro bard by freely quoting from his works. The work of this association is laid down on broad lines; all subjects concerning the welfare of the race and other interesting subjects are freely discussed, and a spirit of inquiry and wanting to know the truth is strongly shown. This is a work that should be initiated in every center of race activity. Nothing tends more to race welfare than broad and deep reading and this work deserves the encouragement of all. Next Tuesday evening an interesting lecture will be delivered by Prof. H. T. Kealing of the Western University. THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK The city and county election or rather the primaries thereof will soon be at hand. As a result of the same, political circles are on the alert for the timber to fill the various positions. The California Eagle, with their branch office now thoroughly established and rendering services to its galaxy of readers will be on the watch tower, to report to our clientage the things taking place which concerns their future progress. In doing this we are assured of the support of the great masses of our people, and of members of the white race, who realize the high standard we have set in journalism and that we are really accomplishing something worth while in our efforts to create public sentiment for the continued progress of a struggling race. We want to do the things and support the measures and men, who will accord the members of our race a greater recognition. We desire to create an ambition of our young men and women, a greater interest in our government, to the end that they may qualify them- selves to take positions in the same. It is along these lines that we shall give our support to the various candidates who aspire, and in doing so ask the support of the Colored voters of San Francisco, which in many instances will be the deciding vote both at the primaries and the election. 1920 Judge Oppenheimer, who has for the past two years presided on the bench of the police court of San Francisco, has made an enviable record for dealing out even handed justice, and the common people who have offtimes been denied justice have come into their own. Morris Oppenheimer Judge Oppenheimer knows no class nor creed. He seeks in his high position to deal justly with all, and if he errs to do so on the side of mercy. This being true it accounts for the hearty and almost unanimous support which he is receiving from all classes and it is almost a foregone conclusion that he will be triumphantly elected at the primaries on Sept. 28th. THOMAS F. BOYLE FOR AUDITOR. For auditor of San Francisco county Thos. F. Boyle, the present incumbent, will no doubt be returned for another term, in fact at this time there seems no one with the temerity to run against him, and it is confidently expected that he will be elected at the primaries. Mr. Boyle is a genial and well met gentleman, who has safeguarded the interest of all of the citizens with the greatest proficiency, and they will do themselves credit to continue him as the city and county auditor for another term. THOMAS H. FINN The Colored voters in rallying to the support of Tom Finn for sheriff, are simply standing by a man who has done more for them than any other man in public life in the state of California. Therefore it is indeed good fortune that they at this time have the opportunity to show their appreciation for the efforts which he has made in their behalf. And in the pending campaign it is freely predicted that Mr. Finn will receive the solid Colored vote. He has served the people in this capacity and his past record speaks for itself. Aside from this as State Senator he has done much, especially for our people. In defeating the segregation measure in the last session of the legislature he was a potent factor, and the recognition which has been given by way of patronage he has also been the keystone. So therefore in supporting Finn for Sheriff it is a case of standing by the man who has been our consistent friend. R.B STRICTLY HANDMADE 5¢ CIGAR Charles M. Fickert RETAIN A FAITHFUL OFFICIAL Elect Him at the Primary, Sept. 28, 1915 John Ginty Incumbent For Assessor His work has been commended by the San Francisco Real Estate Board, Civic League of Improvement Clubs, Chamber of Commerce, Abstract Companies, Lawyers, Civil Engineers and State and visiting Assessors. PETER H. FICKERT FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY The people of all classes can well afford to support Chas. M. Fickert to retain the position of district attorney, for the reason that this office has been so satisfactorily conducted under his regime as to merit the approval of the people of all classes and of all parties. The common people have in that office at this time a man who is considerate of their interests. The Colored people are giving his candidacy a strong support, several of their organizations having already given him their endorsement. This is probably the most important office to be filled as a result of the coming primary and election and it therefore behooves the people to look well that they retain Mr. Fickert, who has so satisfactorily filled that position for the past four years, who has been an official for the people, and if re-elected will be in a better position than ever from his varied and ripe experience to serve the people of San Francisco, in the important position of District Attorney.

Peace! Prosperity! Union! LACONICS The trade of the panderer and the male flirt is one and the same. “She looks good to me;” so does the stick of cosmetick, rouge box and powder puff to her. Weakness makes us fall for error; hopeless idiocy makes us continue for it. When there is a job in sight, there is a “race-leader” somewhere near. A female who has her “good-looks” alone to recommend her to the “passing show” had better look out for the small-pox. When using the “make-up box” be sure and paint the back of your neck. These are simply toilet hints. To men who do things a stage full of "brilliant" mollycoddles look like a discarded vacuum sweeper. We have some "race-leaders" in this city who would make you believe they always had a plate of chittlings under their nose. The so-called "gay-Lothario," the fellow whose ambition it is to make "conquests" of the affections of women, only to betray thier confidences, will be punished by God, and should be foresworn by every respectable human being. The reports of lynching is growing large in all portions of the country, as usual the South heads. It is possible that the "Clansman" which idolizes the cowardly "Klue Klux" of other days has something to do with the present increase of crime. The black troops in the great European conflict are maintaining their reputation for fearless bravery. The First West Indian regiment, all Negroes, have been highly complimented for their bravery in successfully repulsing the German troops, and mixed troops have and are still performing heroic acts near the Dardenelles against the combined forces of Turkey and Austrian-German troops. Educationally the black boy is maintaining a very high standard of work in all of the institutions of higher education throughout the nation, where their competitors are all white. Now that the Referendum petition the Non-partisian law has received the official approval of the Secretary of State, there will be an "election" on the 26th day of October. The European war is effecting every portion of the civilized world, and in the event it continues throughout this year, the United States will suffer untold calamities. The many admirers of the political course in the Assembly o Harris is due to the untiring effort of Mr. Mouser, as telegrams in his possession show. Mr. W.-E. Easton received his certificate of selection as an Delegate to the State Irrigational Conventions to be held in Stockton, Fresno, Sacramento and at the International Fair Congress to be held in San Francisco, at the Fair, on the 24th of September. There is a pleasant irony in this appointment as the gentleman has been on "the water-wagon" for nearly five years now, and should very naturally be an enthusiast on the now very popular topic of irrigation. The republic of Haiti has at last had foreign intervention forced on it. Its periodical revolution alone brought about this condition. It was once so that the Constitution of this Negro government forbided foreigners owning land in the Republic, this was changed, and the result is Haiti now has both Germany and France to reckon with for trespass on their legational property, and the United States has landed marines to protect the new interests of the foreign governments. This long unused pen is just itching for causus belli. DANGER OF THE NEGRO FIREMEN BEING PUT OUT In the program of retrenchment because of the Two-Platoon law, we are authoritatively informed there is danger of the two Negro Fire Companies being laid off. This would be a rank injustice, it is only a few years since the colored tax-payers had any representation in the Fire Department of this city, to which as tax-payers they were entitled to; and this representation has been entirely insuicient, and not at all due proportion of what our representation as a race in this city should be. And now, to include these two small'Companies in the plans of closing some of the Fire stations is a rank injustice to the race, and to the men who have made such an enviable reputation as fire-fighters. This administration from the head of the ticket down, to the Councilmanic Board received a very large proportion of the Negro vote, and the removal of these two Negro Companies would not only be a rank injustice, but it also be an instance of base ingratitude. Mr. A. J. Fitzpatrick is authoritatively and effectively engaged in seeking to preserve to the race its representation on the Fire Department of the city. He has behind him the entire race who feel that if their already poor representation in the government of this city is curtailed by any general retrenchment, the race will have suffered an undeserved injustice. There should be an organization in this city with the sole object to encourage, enlighten, develop and give opportunity to the talented young people of the race. We are not enough interested in our ambitious youth; our really gifted young musicians, painters, inventors and young men mechanically gifted. A fund should be raised, and a committee of race-loving members be appointed to supervise the expenditure of the same. The colored boy and girl with natural gifts should be given a chance to educate themselves along the lines of efficiency. We must claim everything we want in this life, and build up for the future of the race by aiding the development of the youth. Let us get together at once and organize an association to "boost" the natural talent of the negro youth. Hear Prof. H. T. Kealing, President of Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, at the First A.

Some men become known for their legal knowledge and ability along a certain line, but in the case of Judge Shenk his well trained mind has placed him well in forefront in the rank of his profession. Judge Shenk, all through his public career has stood firmly by the letter of the law, without fear or favoritism. His decisions stand well the test of appeals and he is regarded generally as one of the most thoroughly trained judges on the Superior bench. [Name] JUDGE GAVIN W. CRAIG. In meditating upon the condition of our country, the mind naturally reverts to the men of public life whi make and execute the laws. Few men of this generation are as thoroughly imbued with the subject of law, as Gavin W. Craig. Judge Craig, though young in years, is a veteran in his chosen profession. His ripe university training, aided by a term of years as instructor in a school of law amply equips him for the high responsibilities of Superior Judge. Not only has Judge Craig achieved distinction as instructor but as an author, as well, having written several treatises upon the most mooted points of law, and so thoroughly has he elucidated his subjects that he has become an authority upon those subjects. His well earned brilliant career presages for him a bright and lasting future. JUDGE WARREN WILLIAMS One of the very strongest characters in the public life in this vicinity is Judge Warren Williams. Judge Williams served as police judge in Los Angeles for several years, and is now filling the office of city prosecutor. No man in the ranks of Republicanism, under normal conditions, stands a better chance of election to any position to which he may aspire. Judge Williams is a Republican of the proper type; the kind which is so badly needed in the section at this particular time. His record upon the bench is such that he can again face the people, if he so desires, and receive the support of all who admire a fearless, clean cut advocate of justice and equality before the law. Judge Williams does not appreciate men because of their color or class but for their integrity, their character. The Colored citizens are especially loud in their praises of the man for whom they are willing to cast their votes for any position to which he may aspire. JUDGE THOMAS P. WHITE. The more closely we study the problems of the city, state or nation, the grmer becomes the conviction that despite the edicts of legislative assemblies, our present day need in all walks of life is that of MEN. Not particularly men whose names might be graced by a list of University titles, but men of heart and soul and that spiritual unfoldment that their every public action be marked by a touch of divine light. That Judge Thomas P. White is measuring up to the requirements of the day is the opinion of those who are best qualified to determine. Judge White might truly be styled the man of the hour in that department of justice over which he presides, whether neglectful parent or wayward child, Judge White dispenses justice with that humane admonition which gives the offender hope and fills him with inspiration. Every official action of this great jurist reflects the teachings of the Nazarene. Few, if any, are they who have left Judge White's court feeling that the knell of lost opportunity has been tolled. The dignity and honor with which which Judge White is filling his present position is but preparing ```markdown ``` principal duty of this board being to superintend the county's finances. The public has learned to look upon the Supervisors, however, as the one class of public officials with whom everybody must find fault. It matters not what the circumstances are there must be a kick and the Supervisors must be "cussed out." We have learned to look upon the present board, however, as real human beings, with the public welfare at heart. It matters not what the habitual fault-finder may say in the negative we are thoroughly convinced that the present board of Supervisors of Los Angeles county is about 'as honorable set of gentlemen as can be found in any county in America. It has become the custom in America, to misjudge the motives of all public officials and especially is this true in Los Angeles county. But our supervisors have more than stood this unjust, critical test. They each and everyone of them have demonstrated to the satisfaction of every fair-minded citizen that the public welfare is their pleasure. It might be well to suggest right here that in fighting the battles of the race, it might be well to change our tactics: instead of complaining overmuch about the things that we are not permitted to enjoy let us show a spirit of gratitude for those that we have. Let us compliment our Supervisors for the noble manner in which they have stood by the race in the employment of the large number of race men in and about the county court house and Hall of Records. You know and I know, in fact, we are all fully cognizant of the fact that there are few counties of this size in the United States giving employment to as many men of color. Supervisor Pridham has always stood by the Colored citizen in every reasonable request. Supervisor Norton has proven himself to be a fair-minded, unbiased official, when considering the claims of his Colored constituency. Supervisor Hinshaw has at every opportunity acquiesced to every reasonable request we have made, while Supervisors Hamilton and Woodley have always been known as men of the square deal for all. "Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them." These lines were brought to the surface of our mentality when we read this letter which reads: Mr. C. E. Orr, R. F. D. No. 1, Bowles, Fresno Co., Calif. Dear Sir: I have the honor to advise you that the Governor has appointed you a delegate to the National Negro Farmers Congress to be held in San Francisco on August 26, 27, 28 and 29, this year. Your certificate of appointment is enclosed herewith. We are proud to offer Mr. Orr as an example of the race, who has achieved greatness. Less than twenty years ago Mr. Orr went into the fertile San Joaquin valley, when land was cheap, and purchased fifty acres and immediately began the cultivation of the soil. Today he owns a ranch of two hundred acres, used mainly for the cultivation of peaches and grapes. Less than a year ago he added a well appointed dairy to his ranch, which is a successful addition. He has his own water apparatus which is a wonderful piece of machinery, drawing water from the depth of the earth and belches it either up hill or down hill as the case may demand. We are glad that Gov. Johnson was wise in his selection and we hope that Mr. Orr representation at the Negro Farmers Congress will mean a revival of the slogan, "Back to the Farm" for California Negroes.

LITTLE EARSETINE JONES OF CERES AVE., IS HOSTESS AT HER BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY. Last Saturday afternoon, eleven little girls and one little boy were guests of little Earnestine Jones at her birthday celebration. The girls were radiant in white. Each one present was able to perform upon the piano; hence the literary tone of the juvenile affair would have been an eye opener for some of the grown-ups. Refreshments were served on the lawn after which little Miss Earnestine, who is one of the brightest girls of her age in this district, heartily thanked her friends for their presence and tokens of appreciation and bade them farewell.

Their Negro Burnings are merely Exhibitions of Barbaric -Blood Lust. [San Francisco Chronicle Aug. 2, 1915.] Blood lust, not justice, is the im- pelling motives in such deeds as the burning of the Texas Negro suspected of murdering the Grimes children. Revenge is the central idea of euch punishment; not the deterrent force of example, Sav- sgery is its source and accompani- ment, A man can suffer no greater punishment than the loss of life Anfliction of suffering with death vadds nothing to the force of the example, It is merely an exhibi: tion of savagery, indulged to satie. fy = bestial love of inflicting pain, We are told that these Texas sav. ages, men and women alike, waited by thousands while the man wa: being examined, then took hin and thrust him into- the flames He begged for time enough to tel his story, but the blood, thirst) crowd would not wait.

HARRISON WILLIAMS DR. N. P. GREGGS ABOUT TO WIND UP YEAR AT FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH. We feel sure that it is not only the consensus of opinion of the members of the First A. M. E. church, but of all the church goers of this section that Rev. Greggs and his faithful wife who can always be found at his side, have accomplished much good in this section for a firmer establishment of the Master's kingdom. It is because of the keen interest with which we have watched this energetic little couple that we have been influenced without any solicitation to dig a little way into his record as a public benefactor. Rev. N. P. Greggs was born in Columbia, Tenn., and received his early education in the public schools of that city. When he was only eight years of age he won the first gold medal offered by the city for oratory, competing with many grown ups. He then entered and was graduated from the Tennessee State Normal—then to Hoffman Seminary, where he completed a course in theology, and finally took his degree at the Turner Normal College at Shelbyville, Tenn. After completing his education he served as a public school teacher in his hometown and at his alma mater. His first charge was at So. Nashville Trinity Chapel, where he found a membership of 89 and ES INTO THE GREAT BEYOND. Historic Big Mt. Zion Baptist Church Crowded with Sorrowing Friends and Mem- On Wednesday morning, August 5th at 12:10, just at the turn of new day, the soul of Mrs. Josephine Buckner tok its eternal flight into the Great Beyond, after a lingering illness of nearly a year and a half, surrounded by her devoted husband, Robert Buckner, and her loving daughters, Mrs. Rachel Derry of Oakland, Mrs. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson of Bakersfield, Mrs. James H. Brown of the city, and hosts of friends that crowded about the bedside when the end came, which was peaceful and quiet. Mrs. Buckner, during her long illness had the constant care of her devoted daughters, and the skillful medical attention of Dr. William A. Tarleton, who did much to relieve the patient sufferer. The deceased was a prominent member of the S. M. T.'s and a devoted member of the Mount Zion church for more than twelve years. The remains of the deceased laid in state for two days at her late residence, 1420 Lawrence street and was visited by hundreds of old friends who knew her in life. Funeral services were held on Friday at 2 o'clock from the historic Mt. Zion Baptist church, that was crowded with sorrowing friends and members of the Order Sisters of Mysteries Ten, in the immaculate white uniforms presented a beautiful and impressive scene, as the funeral party reached the sacred edifice. The following honorary pall-bearers, Mesdames J. E. Wilborn no church property, but within three years the membership had increased to 475 with a beautiful church site owned and controlled by the membership which redounds to his honor even now. He was then sent to Jackson, Tenn., where he did a similar work and from here to McMunnsville, Tenn., where he met and married Miss Bessie Vaughn, who from the very beginning has been her husband's side partner in good times and adverse. From here he went to Tullahoma, Tenn., and from Tullahoma was transferred west to the West Oakland or 15th church, where he worked as he had other places, and his efforts were crowned with success, and it was with no small degree of loathing that the people of Oakland relinquished their hold when Bishop Parks decided that Los, Angeles was the next best stop for this promising young clergyman. Perhaps the feature that endears Rev. Greggs to his congregations is his manner of preaching with his daily life. As a young man his coming to Los Angeles has meant not only spiritual uplift, but likewise moral unlift, for the people at large. His friendly touch with all the people and denominations has made him a favorite, and the press at this time rises to make a motion that Rev. Greggs be returned to us for the next conference year, if we can get a second. M. L. McKinney, D. E. Wright, Isabel ounYg, Laura Criner and Miss Janette Criner, bearing beautiful flowers lead the funeral procession. As the solemn words of Dr. Joseph T. Hill, the eloquent divine, rang out "I am the resurrection and the life," the fountains of sorrow were opened and the vast congregation were bathed in tears. The choir chanted sweetly "Over the River Faces I.See." Dr. Hill read a Scripture lesson from the Ninetieth Psalm and Rev. Dr. W. H. Tilman of St. Paul Baptist church offered a fervent prayer. Mr. J. Le Roy Albright sang with tenderness a tenor solo, "Flee as a Bird." Dr. Hill preached an eloquent sermon from the words of the Apostle John, "I saw the dead great and small" in which he paid a tribute to the memory of the deceased, beautiful and impressively as a faithful wife and devoted mother. He was followed by Dr. Tilman, who eloquently eulogized the life and character of the deceased as a beautiful Christian mother. The speaker paid a high compliment to the sweet devotion of the girls whose constant care for their mother was worthy of emulation. The officers of the S. M. T. under the leadership of Mrs. M. J. Jennings, Worthy. Princess; Mrs. Charlotte Harris, chairman sick committee; Guides, Sisters Dora Sloan and Adams; Financial Secretary, Mrs. M. L. Gottchalk, Mrs. Clarkson, U. V. P., taken charge and performed their beautiful ritualistic ceremony, while the choir sang, "Shall We Meet Beyond the River?" The vast congregation took the last look upon the remains of the deceased. Amid the sorrows of the grief stricken relatives the funeral party passed down the aisles while a funeral dirge was played. The cortege was formed and wended its way to the beautiful Ever the burning message service, not honor. Also many other books and tracts. Surely all will want to hear Dr. Wilson at the Second Baptist church, where he will preach the gospel four weeks. He will bring with him brother William Lewis, a Texas boy who is said to be the sweetest gospel singer of the race. Not only has he served his own race, but also the white Baptist convention of the South. No lover of good music and singing can afford to miss this great gospel feast. The table is spread, sin and unrighteousness are everywhere. Come, let us worship the Lord together in the beauty of holiness, for He will have mercy. Sunday school, 9:30.

The evening sermon was a continuance of the morning's subject, found in the second chapter of James. The concert given by Miss Susie Lynch on last thursday evening at the church was quite a success, and she takes this method of thanking everyone who so willingly served, and especially Prof. Bynum and his choir who rendered such beautiful music.

The Grand Officers and delegates began to arrive on Saturday, preceeding the session, which opened proper on Tuesday, August third, and by Monday all of the delegates had arrived with many visiting Odd Fellows and members of the households.
