The Broad Ax

EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA Bishop Hogall Archibald James Carey, Ph. L. L. D. D., Starts on the War Path After Rev. John Russell Harvey, Late Pastor of St. Mary's African Methodist Episcopal Church REV. W.D.COOK, THE MOVING SPIRIT OF THE METROPOLITAN COMMUNITY CENTER CHURCH; REV. JOSEPH A. WINTERS, OF THE PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY CENTER CHURCH; and REV. JOHN RUSSELL HARVEY, HEAD OF THE COSMOPOLITAN COMMUNITY CENTER OF THE PEOPLE'S CHURCH, HELD A GREAT OR ROUSING MASS MEETING AT THE WENDELL PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING LAST SUNDAY AFTERNOON. REV. COOK READ THE SCRIPTURE LESSON, REV. WINTERS SERVED AS MASTER OF CEREMONIES AND REV. HARVEY, WHO HAS JUST COME OUT OF THE WILDERNESS, PREACHED A POWERFUL SERMON: "UPON THIS ROCK I BUILD MY CHURCH, AND THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT." It was stated in these columns last week, that at the close of the A. M. E. Conference in this city recently that many of the followers of the sainted Richard Allen had come to the parting of the ways and this spirit of unrest on the part of many of the lay members and on the part of the A. M. E. preachers as well, has been largely brought about by the bulldozing way or manner of Bishop Hogall Archibald James Carey, Ph. LL, D. D., who seemingly has finally made up his flighty mind that with the great aid of his new found friend in the person of Col. Oscar DePriest to Lord it or absolutely rule over all of the preachers residing in this the 4th A. M. E. District with an iron rod and any preacher who utterly fails to fall down on his hands and knees and prostrate himself in humble submission before the greatest political jumping jack in the world. Bishop Archibald James Carey, who to all outward signs does not represent the true and living A. M. E. God on this earth or off goes his head. The Demo-Republican Bishop who appears to dearly love his wet god and plenty of money, openly and brazenly boasts of the fact that any preacher who desires to hold forth in this A. M. E. District must first make his peace with him that Rev. J. C. Anderson, who has always been regarded as one of the most upright preachers in the A. M. E. Church as well as one of its oldest ministers, but thoughtlessly several times he raised his little finger against the would-be high Bishop and where is Rev. Anderson today? The Hogall Bishop started rough-shod after Rev. Anderson and caused him to hotfoot it out of this A. M. E. Conference and at the present time he is somewhere about Pittsburgh, Pa. Rev. W. D. Cook, who always walks upright before his Lord and Master, locked horns with the boss political Bishop of the A. M. E. Church about three years ago and in the final end Rev. Cook was sent to the woods and at last the big red-faced political Bishop was able to place his large political feet on the back of Rev. Cook's brave and honest neck and after much thought and praying on his part he severed his connection with the church which he had faithfully served for more than forty-five years and during the past three years this big sainted political Bishop has dogged and hounded Rev. Cook every way he possibly could even to the extent of endeavoring to prevent him from holding his church services in the Wendell Phillips High School Building, but in spite of the double-crossing and the low, mean and the contemptible, under-handed work of the double-faced big Bishop, Rev. Cook has bravely and with manly courage earned an everlasting name for himself in the bright shining sun. Just as soon as it became known that Rev. John Russell Harvey had withdrawn from the great A. M. E. Church and had pulled out as the Pastor of St. Mary's Church, the big political Bishop started on the warp-path after him and last Sunday afternoon the high chief political Bishop Carey and his flock of preachers or lambs in wolves' clothing invaded St. Mary's Church and the following henchmen assisted their head wind-bag, Bishop Carey, to rip Rev. Harvey up one side and down the other. Bishop Carey was the first one at the bat and what he failed to say in connection with Rev. Harvey was good and a plenty. He freely branded him as being everything else but a Christian minister and he freely boasted that he would see to it that Rev. Harvey would be stopped from holding his meetings in the John Farren school house, 51st street and South Wabash avenue, that if he only had his way about it that he would hotfoot Rev. Harvey into Lake Michigan or run him out of town and so on. Rev. C. M. Tanner, Pastor of Greater Bethel Church, whom they claim came very near in bursting up one of the big A. M. E. churches of Baltimore, Md.; Rev. B. U. Taylor, the new Pastor of Quinn Chapel; Rev. R. E. Wilson, Pastor of Ebenezer Church, Evanston, Ill.; Rev. David Johnson, the new Pastor of St Mary's Church, and Rev. W. W. Lucas, the new Pastor of the Institutional Church, who was one of the high priests of the Cooperative Society of America which before failing gathered in many millions of dollars out of the pockets of colored people in all parts of this country, each and every one of the above mentioned Bible pounders took a strong or a hard whack at the head of Rev. Harvey and they all declared that just because he had failed to dance to the music of their lord and master, Bishop Archibald James Carey, that Rev. Harvey had the mark of Gain on his forehead which would follow him to his grave as he is one of the disobedient and discredited sons of God. One of the strongest and most influential members of the Legislature of Illinois, who has honorably served in that body for six years and in 1924 he will succeed the Hon. Samuel A. Ettelson in the State Senate from the Third Senatorial District of Illinois. The Legislative record of Mr. Roberts in the past stands forth without one blemish upon it, and he is amply qualified in the future to wear the senatorial mantel for he is a great honor to his race and to humanity in general. Representative Adelbert H. Roberts was the most aggressive legislator on the floor of the last house in the point of having success with the passage of his bills, with the exception of Representative Edward J. Smejkal, who as chairman of the appropriations committee, initiated all of the appropriation bills. Mr. Roberts introduced nine bills, eight of which were passed but one was later vetoed by Gov. Len. Small. His successful bills were Nos. 15, 16, 17, 30, 31, 32, 326 and 327, all of which pertained principally to Chicago. The first adds a new section to the criminal code which makes it unlawful to use a name containing the words "pawners' society" except by corporations organized under the pawners' society act of 1899. The second adds a new section to the pawners' society act so as to apply the provisions of the general corporation act relating to amending the articles of incorporation to pawners' societies. The third amends section one of an act pertaining to garnishment by authorizing a judgment creditor to garnish the effects or estate belonging to one of two or more joint judgment debtors. The fourth amends section 14 of the garnishment act by exempting from garnishment the wages or salary of a wage earner who is the head of a family, residing with the same, to the amount of $15 a week. The fifth adds a new section to an act in regard to court attachments by authorizing the use of alias or pluries writs on the application of the plaintiff in attachment suits. The sixth amends the criminal code so as to make it unlawful to disturb the peace, to kidnap, to assault with a On that same beautiful Sunday afternoon a great mass meeting was held at the Wendell Phillips High School which was addressed by Rev. W. D. Cook, one of the best, most honest and eloquent preachers in this broad land. Rev. J. A. Winters, who is equal to the best preachers in this city, and Rev. Harvey, who can easily measure arms with the leading preachers in all parts of this country, but, unlike Bishop Carey and his bunch THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1923 HON. ADELBERT H. ROBERTS is the strongest and most influential member of Illinois, who has honorably served two years and in 1924 he will succeed the president in the State Senate from the Third of Illinois. The Legislative record of most stands forth without one blemish up until qualified in the future to wear or he is a great honor to his race and ideal. berts on point of preemption as immorally rescinded enos. House bill 326 amends an act in relation to the Municipal court of Chicago so as to permit city or park policemen to admit to bail persons arrested where the offense is not punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary, upon an order signed by a majority of the judges of the court. House bill 327, which was the one vetoed, would have revised the penalty for violation of the motor vehicle speed law so as to provide a penalty of from $5 to $200 on first and second violations, and on the third offense suspension of the license for one year instead of six months as at present. The fines in Chicago would have been payable to the treasurer had the law been allowed to stand. Representative Roberts was one of the most regular members in point of attendance at sessions of the house and on Memorial day was one of the speakers on the programme, a session having been held on that day to speed up the work of the house. He delivered, an eulogy on Representative Charls Summer Stubbles of Peoria who was the only member of the general assembly who died during the session. Representative Roberts and Stubbles had served together for two sessions in the house. The above lines at our request were written and forwarded to us in connection with the legislative career of Hon. Adelbert H. Roberts at Springfield by one of our best white newspaper friends in this city who is connected with one of the leading daily newspapers in Chicago and he very fully covered every session of the last legislature of Illinois and at no time of shouters and retainers, neither Revs. Cook, Winters or Harvey gave expression to one harsh word against their traducers. The three choirs of the three community centers sweetly sang under the direction of Prof. John Wesley Jones who is one of the greatest musical directors in the United States. Rev. G. W. Samples offered up the opening prayer and he and Rev. A. J. Bowling, first assistant to Rev. Cook; Rev. William Latham, his second as- is he backward in stating that Mr. Roberts was one of the best, most levelheaded, eloquent, logical and influential and statesman-like members of that legislative body; that he secured the passage of more important bills than any other member of the Lower House of the Legislature of Illinois that over and far beyond all of the important measures of which he is the father he always conducted himself like a highly cultured gentleman causing him to make and retain undying friendships among its members. In our humble opinion the great outstanding mile post in the brilliant legislative career of Mr. Roberts which will for all time to come give him a firm foothold in the hearts of all the liberty loving people of Illinois and that is his great accomplishment in securing the passage of his Ku Klux Klan bill and that act alone has covered him with great honor and glory which will linger with him to the end of all time. On the day of its final passage Mr. Roberts delivered the greatest and the most memorable oration of his life in favor of his Ku Klux Klan bill and without asking at any time one single member "if they were in favor of voting his bill up or down" one hundred and nine Democrats and Republicans voted in favor of its passage and two Republicans voted against its passage. In that instance Mr. Roberts, single-handed and alone, scored his greatest victory in behalf of the people of Illinois, who firmly believe in law and order. In conclusion the fates have decreed that, owing to his great legislative ability and his high or brilliant attainments, that Hon. Adelbert H. Roberts shall succeed the Hon. Samuel A. Etelson in the state senate from the Third Senatorial District of Illinois in 1924. sistant; Mr. Sandy W. Trice, Mr. H. A. Watkins, Mr. Ernest H. Williamson and Mr. Julius F. Taylor, outside of the regular speakers, were among those who occupied seats on the platform. One hundred dollars was collected and turned over to Mr. Williamson, treasurer of the Cosmopolitan Community Center of the People's Church, which sum of money will greatly assist Rev. Harvey in his new field of practical labor. TALKS BY REV. COOK, REV. WINTERS AND REV. HARVEY AT THE WONDERFUL MASS MEETING AT WENDEL PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL LAST SUNDAY AFTERNOON Scripture reading by the father of Community, Churches, Rev. W. D. Cook. "These things have I spoken unto you that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues, yea the time cometh that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service." Keep listening and I will tell you and show you things to come." For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness and the salvation thereof as the lamp that burneth." They shall be called by a new name, COSMOPOLITAN COMMUNITY CENTER. "Thou shall not be forsaken." Someone complained that they were lonely and wanted companionship. Just stand still, is the first attitude in the time of struggle. As the bridegroom rejoiceeth over his bride, so shall God rejoice over thee. Three years ago I became married to the bride, since that time the bride has given forth birth and children have been born and today they come to the home of the mother and father. May God christen us with dew drops. May God bless the leader and his work, referring to Rev. Harvey. Speaking by Dr. Winters announcing the speaker: Three years ago the mother of community churches was born. Now the mother has three children the baby of which holds this service and will be addressed by Dr. Harvey, a christian gentleman, who applies christianity in business. You are here to get a message from him, he has grit, grace and a man who has nerve enough to tell anybody his convictions, I refer to the Rev. John Russell Harvey. Dr. Harvey: "Dr. Cook, Dr. Winters, Christian Friends: Text-Matt 16:18: "And I say also unto thee that thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." I wish my physical condition would bear up my spiritual condition this afternoon. Some two years ago, I think, I preach from this platform and I have heard it ever since. Every once in a while somebody would say something about the preacher preaching at the Community Center, so often did I hear this until it got familiar and it didn't seem bad and now it seems all right. I look to be in good company, I have no objection to associating with these good looking brethren on the platform, they don't look like bears or anything to do any harm, I feel quite at home. I cannot say when my decision was made to withdraw from the A. M. E. Church. We made the best report in the last conference that was made in the conference. Our church reported over $1,600 and we could find record for every penny. We were leading so there were no grievances on my part for not having led. Bright as everything seemed in the history of my work, I was satisfied with drawing a good salary, I was satisfied with the friendship of my congregation, but I withdrew in protest against wickedness, in high places. Abraham Lincoln set us free from physical slavery and the grace of God set me free from sin. I decided to be free indeed. I like to preach. I like the order and orders, of the church. I like the principles, the fundamentals of salvation and I do not believe that God has put those things in any special hands so that I must go to those hands to get it. There is only one man and that is Jesus, when I have his approval I do not need the approval of any man. It goes without question that the heads of the church we love so well must hear the voice of the people and unless they hear the voice of the people there will be a rumbling thunder that must be heard. I am not saying anything this afternoon that I cannot repeat. Some one sang, "I am glad I came out of the wilderness." I am glad I have no yoke on my neck. I believe the church of God must be clean; men of the church, in the pulpit, and in high offices of the church, even upon the bench of bishops, should be upright in life and character. Every man pretending to be a leader of the people should be a clean man. They must be clean men and I do not uphold any man that is a weak man. This accounts for my being here this afternoon and I believe there are a lot of my brothers who would like to be here this afternoon but cannot because the powers that be say not. Christ asking his disciples, "What are the people saying about me?" "Who do men say that I am?" "What are they thinking?" Making inquiries about public opinion. Then he asked his disciples directly, "Whom do ye say that I am?" Then Peter answered, "Thou art the Christ, the son of the living God." There was something deeper in the answer than flesh and blood. Therefore Christ said unto Peter, flesh and blood have not revealed this unto you but my father which is in heaven; therefore he said, "Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Peter wasn't firm, he denied his Christ, that is the kind of man to whom Christ was talking when he established his church, a man unstable. In saying, "Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church," he was not speaking of changeable Peter, but speaking of Peter transformed by the indwelling power of God and when that power came unto Peter it made him firm as a rock, so firm that Jesus established his church upon this humanity transformed by the unity of the spirit of God. Jesus did not establish his church on strong men who occupied high places nor on Mt. Zion, which was the religious and political capital of the people, but upon weak humanity filled with the indwelling Christ. When Christ went to the temple of Mt. Zion he found them trading, selling and buying and drove them out and said, make not my father's house a den of thieves. But when he got ready to establish his kingdom he didn't go to Mt. Zion, he found a weak man who wanted to be transformed by the spirit of God, a man who didn't have faith to resist wrong, and said as it were unto him, I know you are weak, that you are changeable, that you go wrong, that you have denied me, but you have a good will and if you will get the grace of God in your heart you will become firm, unchangeable as a rock and upon this rock made by the union of humanity and divinity, I will build my church. Upon this unity of faith which brings God down to man and man up to God and forms a union of divinity and humanity. Jesus did not build His church upon ecclesiastical power, that is where the mistake comes in, upon a line of rules laid down by men, not upon dogma of man, but upon the unity of divinity and humanity. In establishing His church Christ made it possible for the highest and the lowest to come to God for himself. Prepare your own way, trust the security of the church. Christ said that the gates of hell shall not prevail against His church. Judges occupied places near the gates to render judgment and armies proceeded out of the gates to battle, therefore Christ draws this illustration: To show that the armies that proceeded out of the gates of hell cannot prevail against his church. He was not only talking about hell from below but hell from above as well.

Commission on Interracial Cooperation, 409 Palmer Building, Atlanta Georgia. OUR WEEK DAY SERMONETTE By Dr. H. T. S. Johnson, Interracial Secretary for Oklahoma Trouble Won't Last Always - "The sea no longer exists".—Rev 21:1. ( Weymouth's translation ) "There was no more sea". (Author- ized version). The apostle John, author of the last book in the Bible, from which we get our text, had been ruthlessly torn from his friends, his home, and his church in Ephesus and exiled on an island in the Aegean sea off the coast of Asia Minor. To say it was a most bitter experience but mildly expresses it. Not for any wrong that he had committed, but because his life was too consistently Christian did he have to suffer the treatment that was given the worst criminals of his day. John's life and the ideals of his religion were so out of harmony with existent laws and customs in Ephesus that his presence became objectionable to the extent that he was banished. The "ditty" we sometimes sing, "John on the island by himself," is not true. There were others on the island, but not people who could be companions for him. With no sympathetic friend with whom he could talk about his troubles, the exile, for a while at least, was, all his enemies intended it should be. It was not far from Patmos to Ephesus. But for the sea he could have walked to the scene of his dearest and best labors between sunset and sunrise. Therefore, the sea was the greatest barrier between him and that which he held most dear among the things of earth. Its continuous roar was a constant torment. God always comforts His people. He comforted John by revealing to him the fact that all forces working against God, be they men or demons, are bound to fail. He showed John that Roman rule would be overthrown and that the time would come when no roaring sea would lie between him and the dearest things of earth. What God did for John was equal to saying, "trouble won't last always." Likewise, my brother, God will comfort us if, as John, we trust Him. God promises to remove whatever, like a sea, may separate us from happiness. Sometimes, our sea is sickness. One never knows what a boon health is until sickness overtakes him. Then he is willing to give away everything else to obtain good health. But even to those afflicted by sickness, God gives the assurance that "trouble won't last always". Some of us are hopelessly ill. Yet we may be happy. Lizzie Johnson spent her whole life in an invalid's chair. She suffered constantly, but nothing in her conduct indicated it. Though not able to walk, she used her fingers to the glory of God and the blessing of mankind in such a large way that even sickness could not prevent her being happy. An adept in needle work and painting, she began making bookmarks. They sold readily and with the proceeds she invented in foreign missions. The knowledge that she was, while in her invalid's chair, helping to carry out the Master's command. "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature," made her one of [Name] DR.

That was only an earnest of the unspeakable joys that awaited her when a few years ago she left the house of clay and went where it is no longer necessary to "see thru a glass darkly but face to face", where "we shall know even as we are known". The occasion for greatest happiness in heaven for Lizzie Johnson was to find out the extent of service she rendered by the use of her fingers in making bookmarks. forgotten on the faithfulness of Rev. Shaw as student, minister, physician, husband, father, race champion and leader for rights. Prayer was by Rev B. W. Swain of Zion Church, Scripture reading by Rev. E. E. Thompson of Massachusetts Ave. Baptist Church Hymns were read by Rev. F. C Brookins of Trinity Baptist, Rev W. H. Dabbs of Concord Baptist and Rev. Morrison of St. John's Baptist who were all the Baptist pastors not out of the city. Resolutions from the Sometimes our sea is race prejudice. This is especially true of Negroes in the United States. If the question were asked, "what in your life stands biggest between you and contentment?" the average Negro would answer, "race prejudice". Because of it, we cannot buy many of the finer comforts, it makes no difference how much money we have. Our property is insecure and our lives unsafe. No Negro man can guarantee his wife and daughter protection, because of race prejudice. That fact humiliates him and keeps his wife and children from regarding him with the same esteem they would have if they could look on him as standing between them and insult and injury. Thank God the Bible is full of reasons for our believing that trouble won't last always. Not only does the Bible point to that conclusion, but the signs of the times also. How else can you account for the many books, magazine articles, editorials, private conversations and public utterances of both white men and white women The Commission on Interracial Cooperation, composed of the best and bluest blood of the South, is a most definite promise to the Negro in America, that "trouble won't last always" as it relates to race prejudice The mothers and fathers of the Anglo-Saxon race are hearing the call of the Negro child for a chance to develop fully the manhood and womanhood qualities God has given them. If you look for the evidence, brother in your own neighborhood, you will find enough to make you join in the song: "I'm so glad, trouble don't last always." REV. M. A. N. SHAW DEAD Noted Pastor, Physician, and Race Champion Mourned by Thousands Who Came Out to the Funeral of the Late President of the NationalEqual Rights League—Magnificent Floral Tribute Boston, Mass.—With the large 12th Baptist Church which he had just made clear of debt and has pastored for 24 years filled to capacity limit and thousands standing in the rain outside held back by police reserve, sad and sincere honor was given the memory of Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, M.D., by the people of Eastern Massachusetts at a funeral service as large and notable as Boston has known for a citizen of color. Never was sorrow and the sense of personal loss and of race loss deeper, never more willing testimony to kindness, nobility of soul, readiness to use great medical, intellectual and oratorical ability for individuals and for his people collectively. The remains reposed in a handsome, half-couch solid oak casket. Flowers from the family covered it, flowers lay strewn below it, stretched out on either side on stands flanked by the clock of Bay State Lodge of Elks to the left and the large standing cross from the National Equal Rights League of which Rev. Shaw was the national president on the right. Beautiful and magnificent floral tributes reached across the rostrum tier back of tier with a floral open Bible from the 12th Baptist church on the right and one from the Order of Tents on the left of the aisle space for those officiating to reach the chancel rail. Rev. C. A. Ward of Ebenezer Baptist Church conducted the services and preached a funeral sermon never to be forgotten on the faithfulness of Rev. Shaw as student, minister, physician, husband, father, race champion and leader for rights. Prayer was by Rev. B. W. Swain of Zion Church, Scripture reading by Rev. E. E. Thompson of Massachusetts Ave. Baptist Church. Hymns were read by Rev. F. C. Brookins of Trinity Baptist, Rev. W. H. Dabbs of Concord Baptist and Rev. Morrison of St. John's Baptist, who were all the Baptist pastors not out of the city. Resolutions from the Colored Ministerial Alliance were read by Rev. Leroy Ferguson, of St. Cyprian's Episcopal, from the Bay State Medical etc. Society by Dr. T. W. Patrick and from the National Equal Rights League by Rev. B. W. Swain. In the League resolutions the whole race were urged to show their love for its dead president and appreciation of his race work by joining the league at once, as part of the "Rev. M. A. N. Shaw Memorial Membership Drive" to be instituted at the 16th Annual Meeting which begins Wednesday in Brooklyn, N. Y. The deacons, were the body-guard at the casket, serving in relief relays, the doctors were the active pall-bearers, the clergy the honorary pall-bearers. Several fraternal bodies had seats and took part, others could not have seats, but filed past the open casket, which was then closed till at the grave. The body had laid in state since 9 and thousands had passed to see his face for the last time. Wm. Monroe Trotter was with the family, broken in grief. Thousands of the race lined the sidewalks for many blocks as the hearse and 42 autos of mourners went to Mt. Hope Cemetery where undertaker B. F. Hutchins completed the burial. Mrs. W. H. Cooper of New York was with the family. Hon. I. B. Allen was memorial delegate from the New York Harlem Branch League.

THE CHICAGO HISTORICAL SOCIETY By Charles Stewart, Jr. Through the efforts of the Chicago Historical Society and the Chicago Women's Clubs the great World's Fair of 1893 celebrates its thirtieth anniversary this week in Chicago. Marshall Field & Company has given the northern part of their third floor for the exhibition of the relics of the World's Fair. Old and young mingle alike to visit these many things of interest which have been loaned by the many citizens for this celebration. Many countries with their beautiful ladies in their native costumes are well represented. The British Isles have books of clippings; England, Ireland and Scotland have papers of '93 publications telling their natives of the World's Fair which was then America's senation; France's part of this exhibit is the cabinet and antique chairs of Louis XV; Norway proudly displays its hand made tapestry, Dr. Weisman, decorated by the king for her services during the war, cordially welcomes the visitors to Norway's booth. The beautiful rugs, scarfs, sashes of the most brilliant colors from Mexico do not fail to attract attention to the skilfulness of their craftsmen. Many other interesting booths give evidence of the fine products of our own United States. Attractive cases containing antiques, rare articles and curios from countries all over the world claim a good part of the interest and attention of all. A case containing dresses worn by Mrs. Potter Palmer, Mrs. Talcott and many other prominent women at that time are of particular interest. The efforts of the Chicago Historical Society and Chicago Women's Clubs are indeed successful. Chicago's youths that have attended this exhibit will be able to have some conception of what the World's Columbian Exposition meant, and the inspirations to progress it gave our fathers. The Historical Society has a free library and museum at Dearborn and Ontario streets, and is open to the public daily from 9 A. M. to 5 P. M. LAST OF ORIGINAL MISSOUR ABOLITIONISTS BURIED HERE Chauncey I. Filley Advocated And Was One Of The Signers Of Ordinance Abolishing Slavery The last of the sixty-six members of the first Constitutional Convention of Missouri passed away when Chauncey I. Filley, 93 years old, was buried last Wednesday. Mr. Filley was a picturesque figure in Republican politics of the city and state, and the Civil War mayor of St. Louis. He was an advocate of freedom and was one of the delegates who signed the ordinance abolishing slavery, January 11, 1865. He had previously, in October 1863, presided at a meeting in the Court House, to demand a new and immediate unconditional emancipation constitutional convention to free the slaves in the state. There was upon the statute books a law prohibiting the education of Negroes in the state, and a city ordinance prohibiting them to be out at night. Mr. Filley, as Mayor ignored the latter and was instrumental in perfecting legislation for their education. He was also the first public official to give the Colored man honorable employment.—The Argus, St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 29, 1923. ELLIS, MAN WHO WOULD BE KING, DEAD IN MEXICO New York.—William Henry Ellis, romantic figure in America's international affairs in 1904, died in Mexico City on Sept. 24, according to cable advises received by his family in New York City. Known as "the man who would be king," Ellis' career was a varied one. Cowboy, ranchman, banker, broker, promoter and later diplomatic envoy to Abyssinia, Ellis, in his ambition to be king of Abyssinia, led a life of adventure. In 1904 he induced the state department to draw up a treaty with King Menelik of Abyssinia as the first step in a plan to oust Menelik. The revolution never materialized, however, and Ellis returned to Mexico. He was either a Cuban or of mixed parentage, but preferred to be known as a Cuban. Outside of transacting big business with some of the most prominent white business men in this country or in the world, William Henry Ellis was a colored man.-Editor DEATH OF FRANK B.

(Concluded from Page 1) History bears us out that when John Wesley saw that men became great in the Church of England by being efficient in the reichstagistical he felt that there was something deeper in the Church of God. Therefore he withdrew from the Church of England and establ'shed the Methodist Church. When Richard Allen saw the corruption and unchristian acts of the Methodist Church in Pnu-adelphia he withdrew from that church followed by 15 other men. We all honor Allen and rejoice in those who followed him. Allen was a man who stood for Christian manhood and womanhood and that is why I am here this afternoon I have the spirit of Allen. When things became corrupt and vile Allen walked out, I am willing to follow, I believe God was with Allen and I believe that God is marching with me this afternoon. I have just as strong a faith as ever I had in my life. God is with us and will stand by us. God is in a great many organizations that we think he isn't. With hell in the church and out of the church, men who are leaders in the church should live above suspicion, men who put themselves up as leaders should live such lives that will put them above dirty politics and questionable character, that they may reflect credit upon the cause they represent. The church is growing weak because the standard is too low. It takes just as much for a minister to go to heaven as it does*a layman. The gates. There are many gates where the devil gets through. Gates of corrupt politics in the church; gates of immorality in the ministry; gates of celestial crookedness and episcopal corruption; none of these shall prevail for God has always and will always have men with Christian backbone enough to withdraw from these corrupt organizations and establish churches where God can get a hearing. To serve God in purity mankind needs the grace of God, instead of trusting in man, in governments, in governors, we must trust in God. The time is here when we must lift our eyes to the hills from whence cometh our help; our help cometh from the Lord. If anyone gets in your light whether he be a layman, a minister or a bishop, tell him to get out of the way and let God's sunshine in. Let us have christian fellowship, thereby taking heaven out of the sky and placing it among the children of men with a practical church, practical religion and a practical program. God built His church upon the rock humanity transformed by a living God. I had rather live alone with Christ than go with the crowd. I had a long-distance message Monday night stating that I was slated for one of the biggest things in the church) what a mistake I was making by withdrawing. I was glad to know at that late hour I was sited for one of the biggest things in the church, but I would rather be with right with a clear conscience than to be a guilty bishop. My withdrawal is a protest of sin in high places. I believe that my withdrawing is God-sent and that God put it in the hearts of 500 people who withdraw with us in this righteous Rev. James R. Harvey protest. I rejoice in the hope that I have in God as I have never rejoiced before. Three hundred have already registered and many more will soon join our ranks. I believe God is with us and as God saved Peter, He will save me. We are going forward glad of the spirit of fellowship, there is no division. When we withdrew on last Monday night I called the church together (St. Marys) and turned over receipts, contracts and all that belonged to the church. Some one said you might keep the flat building bought just one year ago, we are going to turn it over to the church, we are going out with clean hands and left without a penny. All organizations with representatives turned over a nice sum of money. We came out without a penny but we are trusting in the Lord. We are holding services on the third floor of the John Farren school, 51st and Wabash avenue, morning and night. First plan is to get a building, and we will turn every stone, save every penny until we get on the first floor. Wordsworth And then one goes back to his poetry—and his prose—and hears a voice of almost unsurpassed grandeur speaking the deepest of one's unexpressed thoughts, appealing to and drawing out all the divinest powers in man's nature. . . . He speaks direct to the laboring in, llect and the sensitive heart; and the enjoyment of him. If great is usually enjoyment of the austerer kind, like mountain-climbing.—J. C. Squire. It Scatters Yellow Fever The frightful disease, yellow fever, is carried and spread exclusively by a species of mosquito, the stegmyola, which is the common house 'skeet of the tropics. It is very thin—so small, indeed, that ordinary wire screens will not keep it out—and strikingly marked—a silvery white lye-shaped pattern on the thorax, white stripes on the abdomen and legs banded black and white. Floor Wax and Furniture Polish Floor Wax and Furniture Polish. A good floor wax is made by melting a scant half pound of beeswax, set in a pan of hot water. Add gradually, stirring well, a quart of turpentine, and when mixed a half cupul of ammonia. Cover closely the saucepan containing it and set outer vessel of hot water at the back of the stove to heat for ten minutes. Apply warm with a piece of fannel and polish with a rough cloth. Curious Tree. One of the most curious trees in the world is found in Mexico. The natives call it the handflower tree. From the center of each flower springs a stem shaped like a human hand and arm. The points are curved like finger tips with overgrown nails. Each tree possesses thousands of these curious blooms, and at a distance they resemble blood-red hands waving in the air. Strange Experience. One day I was fishing for trout in a small lake. As I baited the line the hook caught into my gold watch and it sank out of sight in the crystal water. On Friday, the 13th, I went fishing again. Something seemed heavy on the line. When I drew it up I saw the gold watch which I had lost three months before. Since then Friday, the 13th, is my lucky day. Money in Inventions Many big fortunes have come from small inventions. For instance, a man made a can with a seam just below the top. When the can was to be opened it was necessary only to strike the top and it came off. A Chicago packing house ordered ten millions as an experiment, and the idea worked so well that the inventor made a big fortune. The Secret of Success The Secret of Success.

Wash the furniture and then go over it with a soft cloth moistened in cedar oil. This is especially good for mahogany. Can Read Both Ways to the Middle. Can Read Both Ways to the Middle.

They are the innermost sanctuary of the house. What woman does not thrill with joy when she has the chance to "do over" a bedroom—perhaps a drab room with no meaning or life or personality? There are literally hundreds of delightful wall papers for her to choose from—for designers have excelled themselves for bedrooms. She can have exactly the kind of bedroom to suit her individuality—and a bedroom must suit, for late at night when one is tired, one does not wish to be jarred; and early in the morning it is tragic to be irritated. There are sunny yellows that the grayest morning in the world cannot discourage. There are papers where flowers bloom so sweetly that the blackest winter morning can't be cheerless. There are such quaint old patterns straight from revolutionary walls that even if a trolley jangles by outside it seems unreal and far away. And if you are one of those people like the man who said he could bear "anybody but a person who smiles before breakfast"—there are quiet papers of dignified elegance that fit no matter what mood. And what they all express is a deep peace that brings "—innocent sleep, sleep that knits up the rolled sleeve of care." There was a time when people made bedroom papers with restless figures—birds that never alighted on flowers half an inch away from them—and other unsatisfying pictures that drove the one who had to lie in bed and watch them into a mild insanity. And then the day of geometric figures—that one counted and counted going in all directions while one gradually went mad. But those times are past—and the newer papers for bedrooms are restful, peaceful, quiet—papers that never annoy as one sees them day after day. -Milwaukee Sentinel. Sports Clothes Draw There was a time not so long ago when sports clothes were for the purpose of costuming one for golf, tennis, riding and so forth. Today all this is changed. Perhaps it signifies that life is a game and should be treated as such. At any rate, the practical influence of sports clothes makes itself felt on nearly all occasions. This is due no doubt to the simplicity and comfort found in these modes. A prominent moving-picture actress wears a charming frock which had its inspiration from a sport model. It is of cream silk crepe piped with red on collar, cuffs and pockets. The overlouse is of the regulation cut and comes well over the plaited skirt. Chas. Krutchoff, Pros. J. E. Ward, Vice-Pres.

The famous Washington monument has been called the best piece of masonry in the world. Its interior is 25 feet square, while the exterior is 55 feet square. This shows the tremendous thickness of the walls. The foundation of the shaft is 80 feet square and it is set in solid rock eight feet below the surface of the earth. Many nations, as well as cities, states and individuals contributed stones in its construction. Its walls, therefore, contain interesting stones from all parts of the world. The Fast Runner the antelope or prong-horn is the swiftest runner on the continent, says Nature Magazine. He lives on the open plains, depending upon his eyes, his nose, and his swift legs for protection. These have failed him as the country has settled up. He cannot survive wire fences and modern firearms. "Don't you think these automobile jokes are in bad taste?" "No," replied Miss Cayenne, "my observation is that any piece of machinery which can make a man laugh instead of using profanity should be classed as a blessing."—Washington Star. Straight Thinking. Clear, straight thinking is needed today more than anything else. Loose and misdirected thought cannot lead to logical conclusion. Such thought results in a "deadlock" in our own heads which nobody but ourselves can break. Wedding Lyric. From a song catalogue—"Speed, bonnie boot, like a bird on the wing." This is listed as a Scotch rowing song, but it sounds to us more like what a wedding guest might sing as he hurried his missile after the happy palr."—Boston Evening Transcript. Turpentine Cleans Rugs. An excellent way to keep carpets and rugs in good condition is to go over them once a week with a broom dipped in hot water to which a little turpentine has been added. This treatment not only prevents moths but freshens up the color of the faded carpet marvelously. There's Only One Method When a woman has something to say and is determined to say it, the only thing to do is to let her talk. Words to a woman are as steam to a boiler, and no man can control her mind until she has talked off the lid—From "Black Oxen," by Gertrude Atherton. Wife Always Late. Guide (in Yellowstone)—"Now, ladies, this phenomenon occurs every three minutes. Maybe you'd like to look down into the geyser before the next eruption." Mr. Smithers (calling to wife)—"Not you!
