Pollet, the architect, Mr. Oscar Evans, the builder, Mr. Charles Price, the cement contractor, and Mr. Edward Jackson, the foreman, and friends, were entertained by Dr. Lloyd H. Cox, at his palatial home Monday evening, June 17th. It was a grand affair. It was a revelation. Almost a hundred men gathered around the festive board and with Attorney M. H. Jones as toastmaster, wit, humor and eloquence reigned supreme. Mr. Pallett told how the plans for the building were worked out; Mr. Evans said of 545 homes he has built Dr. Cox has the finest and most complete; Mr. Price praised Dr. Cox for his business acumen and said that the mansion is PEASE STREET PLAYGROUND OPENED The Pease Street Playground opened June 17, 1918, with Miss Nellie Veatrice Young appointed supervisor.

To the Pres. and Members P. W. R. C.: Through your secretary I am making formal acknowledgement in this letter of your kind and thoughtful gift in the form of a useful soldier's kit. This little token of your good wishes will always keep me in remembrance of your organization in doing its bit to win the war. Accept my hearty thanks. My short connection with the army has already taught me the grand work of which your, and kindred organizations are doing. The boys all feel happy when they know that good women are at home working for those little comforts that the Government does not furnish. Thanking you again for your kind remembrance, I am, Yours respectfully, LIEUT. J. E. BUSH, D. R. C., Casualty Detachment, 92nd Division, Camp Upton, N. Y. THE DAYTON FORUM an inspiration to the colored people of Dayton. On account of the lateness of the hour Dr. Cox was unable to finish his response. Among other things he told of his labor for the upbuilding of the race and in doing so he himself has been benefited. The men did not forget Mother Cox and the wife, Mrs. Jennie Cox, and it was said that no man could accomplish what Dr. Cox has done without a good mother and a devoted wife. The Cox home is on the west end of Superior Avenue, Dayton View. It is in a white neighborhood and is the best home in a vicinity of handsome homes. The exterior is of crush marble stucco, while the interior woodwork and decorations are amazing. Colored Dayton is proud that one of them is able to provide such a home for his family. LOCAL SOLDIER GIVES LIFE ON FRONT OF WAR Thomas H. Payne, of Quartermaster Department, Suffers Fatal Gunshot Wound The death of his son, Thomas, as the result of a gunshot wound in battle, was reported in a telegram received Wednesday from the war office by Thomas H. Payne, of 434 Bank street. The father's anxiety had grown with the absence of letters from his son, and his letter of inquiry to the war department brought the sad intelligence. Thomas was only 19 years, and enlisted last year in the stevedore regiment of the quartermaster's department. His regiment left for France last year. He lived in Dayton practically his whole life before enlisting. His friends and parents had thought he was in no danger as the quartermaster's department is generally considered out of the danger zone on the fighting line. Another son, George, is 19 years of age, and is also in France with the American troops.

PIONEER CITIZEN ANSWERS LAST CALL THE BOOK OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK THE BOOK OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK William Arthur Hunter, Sr. William Arthur Hunter, of 40 Riegel street, aged 76, one of Dayton's well-known and highly respected colored citizens, passed away at his late residence Monday at 5:30 p. m., after a brief illness of two weeks. Mr. Hunter was a pioneer citizen of Dayton, having come here when a mere boy. He was born at Vicksburg, Miss., in 1842, and came to Dayton in 1855. For 17 years he was employed in the Gebhart family, whose residence was on North Main street. As head cook at the Phillips House, he established a wide acquaintance and was known as the leading chef in the Miami Valley. He was wedded to Miss Antoinette Ashbury of Dayton, Ohio, May 30, 1861, who preceded him in death 19 years ago. To this union nine children were born, five of whom survive to mourn the loss: Mrs. Annie E. Bell, Mrs. Louise Harris, William Arthur Hunter, Jr., Mrs. Nettie Warren and Mrs. Alice F. Smith. He also leaves one grandson, Richard A. Warren, and a host of relatives and friends.* He was one of the founders of Eaker Street Church and served faithfully for many years on the trustee board. At the time of his death he was a member of Euclid Avenue A. M. E. Church. He was a devout Christian and read the Bible daily. He bore his last sickness with Christian fortitude and was resigned to the will of the Master—peacefully entering into that reward prepared for the saints. "Servant of God, well done, Rest from thy loved employ, Thy battle's fought, thy victory won, Enter thy Master's joy."

OBITUARY URN OUT AMERICAN HEAVY ing-Colt machine guns, heavy type, avail- uary, Bridgeport, Conn., on Friday, Ma- plete, in the photograph, except for tri- ply. These guns were manufactured on REPUBLICAN OUTING Republicans everywhere are up and doing, and none are more active than those of Good Old Columbus Town and Franklin county, where Hon. Gerry Catcart is leader of the Mighty Hosts. As president of the Buckeye Republican club of Columbus, he conceived the idea of a Glorious Coming Together of the Republicans of Ohio. The date sent is all Day Saturday, June 22. The place, Columbus Driving park. Title of the big event, Liberty Day Outing, or Patriotic Field Day and Barbecue. In the midst of the early arrangements, Mr. Catcart was suddenly stricken and hurried to the hospital and placed under the knife. The good word from him is that he will be out and doing and at the big outing in a front seat. The operation did not stop the undaunted warrior and Republican leader, and from his bed-side came this official announcement: "Living or dead, the Patriotic Field Day and Barbecue at the Columbus Driving Park, on one of the longest days of the year, Saturday, June 22, under the auspices of the Buckeye Republican club, will take place." It is our desire to make it the most momentous and important out-door gathering in the last decade. We want all citizens, irrespective of party, to be present. We want all Republicans in Good Old Ohio to help in every way and to advise with us concerning this grand out-door gathering. The proximity of the date of the primaries—August 13—and the activities of the several political parties render it necessary for Republicans to be up and doing, and to bring the Grand Old Party up to the 100th point of efficiency, in order that we may do those things well which we have set out to accomplish. Our Liberty Outing or Patriotic Field Day and Barbecue, at the Columbus Driving Park, all day Saturday, June 22, will have for its great feature and premier offering that mighty stalwart and world-known son of Indiana, the Hoosier State's powerful United States Senator, Hon. James Watson. The amusement and entertainment features will be looked after by skilled directors. There will be nothing left undone to make it the greatest event ever in Ohio. It may be added that there will be band concerts, automobile races, aeroplane flights, and a program of real stunts and surprises. An admission of 50 cents will be charged at the main entrance. There will be no extra charge for autos, and a world of room in which to park. The Republican Glee club, celebrated the globe over, will put on a song service. The Buckeye Republican club will pay the war tax on everything. Every Republican in Ohio should be on hand and have his family with him. NOTICE James Arnold, the son of B. A.

LYNCH LAW AND THE KAISER During the recent general assembly of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., a colored commissioner to the gathering precipitated a lively discussion by declaring that mobs that lynch Negroes are not any better than the kaiser and his murderous crew. Many clergymen took issue with the colored man. However, the Presbyterian Banner, the official organ of that church, comes out with the flat-footed declaration that the colored commissioner was right. One might go even farther and assert that all "lynch law," regardless of the race or nationality or crime of its victim, is in the same classification. The kaiser defies justice, ignores law, specializes in brutality. Isn't that precisely what "Judge Lynch" does?—Dayton Herald. --- ADVERTISERS realize quick results when using these columns to reach the people. Phone Us! Main 7696. Price 5 Cents MUST CUT IN WHEAT MUST CUT IN WHEAT Need for Limitation in Consumption Very Great. Food Administration Corrects Fails Impression Given by Recent News Dispatches. Washington.—Recent press dispatches widely circulated through the country have given the wholly false impression that there is no longer need for rigorous conservation of wheat and flour. The food administration declares that every aspect of the wheat situation, both present and prospective, intensifies the need for the greatest possible limitation in the American consumption of wheat and wheat products. If present restrictions should be in the slightest degree relaxed it would result in serious want for the people of Europe before the new crop can reach the market. The food administration's estimate of the position on the first of June indicates a total available supply until the new harvest, including the grains which will be available from the farms, in country and terminal elevators, and mill elevators, of about 56,000,000 bushels. Of this 30,000,000 bushels must be exported before new wheat is available for export if we are to maintain the absolutely necessary shipments to our army and the allies. That leaves about 26,000,000 bushels for domestic consumption for the next two months. Normal American consumption is something over 40,000,000 bushels a month, so that the most liberal consumption at home would be only one-third of normal. The harvest will not be generally available in flour until the middle of August or early September, although in the extreme South it will be somewhat earlier. So long as the war lasts, with its increasing drafts for soldiers and munition workers, the world will steadily produce less food. If we are wise, a great harvest will mean the willing building up of great national reserves. "SONG WILL WIN WAR" PENNELLI INDIANA & STATENWYCK So declares Emma Roberts, the contralto, who was chosen to represent America's best type in the music festival at Ann Arbor and the great Bach festival at Bethlehem, Pa. "A nation is represented by its songs. The national anthems of America, France and England are spiritual, uplifting, and inspiring; the national anthem of Germany is aggressive and acquisitive—and breathes bondage. "Don't you see that the songs of the allies express a people bound to conquer? "So important is this subject," continues Miss Roberts, "that colleges are establishing bureaue to study the government singing classes in camps to inspire soldiers through song. TOWN IS SHOT TO PIECES Minnesota Village Loses Band and Baseball Team to the Marine Corps. St. Paul, Minn., Isle, Minn., was a village of 75 population, situated on the Soo line near Mille Lacs Lake, Minnesota. Not a small part of its population was of young men, so it had a baseball team and a brass band, just as any other really ambitious village should have. The past tense is used advisedly. Isle, Minn., still is a village, situated just where it always has been. But in no other way can the past and present be compared. It is without its baseball team, its brass band—and its young men. For the baseball team and the brass band—20 of 'em, have enlisted in the Marine corps. "The town's simply shot 1" misguided. declared an elderly resident, one of the few left.

The Nineteenth Annual Session of the National Negro Business League will be held at Atlantic City, New Jersey, August 21, 22, 23, 1918, and the program for this year's session will include addresses by a number of the foremost leaders of both races, who will discuss many of the vital and absorbing topics which now confront the race and the nation. our year in the history of the League. It has been said, that the reason why the attendance at conventions and meetings of various sorts held at Atlantic City are so large, it seems that those who are possible delegates and visitors to those conventions, are always divided into two classes: those who have been to Atlantic City, and those who have not—the first group are always glad to return, and the second group has heard so much of Atlantic City and its attractions, that they are always glad to make the trip. This year the opportunity will be extended to the progressive The affiliated organizations of the League which includes the National Negro Press Association, the National Negro Funeral Directors Association, the National Negro Insurance Association, the National Negro Retail Merchants Association, the National Negro Farmers' Association, and the National Negro Bar Association, will hold their annual sessions at the same time as in former years, and there is every indication that the attendance this year will far surpass that of any previous men and women throughout the country to attend the League, and also to spend two or three days at this world famed resort. Some Features of the Session The following committees are in charge of the details of the arrangements for entertaining delegates and visitors to the National Negro Business League: Hon. A. F. Davidson, Grand Chancellor, Knights of Pythians, New Jersey, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Local Negro Business League of Atlantic City; Mr. B. G. Fitzgerald, Chairman of Finance Committee; Mr. C. M Cain, Secretary of Local League Chairman of the Program Committee; Mr. W. Gray, Chairman of Publicity Committee, and W. F. Cozart Grand Keeper of Records and Seals, Knights of Pythians, State of New Jersey, Chairman of Housing Committee. Although all of the details have not been completed, the plan of the committee is to have the Business Sessions at Fitzgerald's Auditorium. Also delegates will be invited to take a ten-mile trip on the ocean or Thursday afternoon, August 22nd. On the evening of August 22nd the famous Cef Club of New York is planning to give an entertainment or Young's Million-Dollar Pier, and the delegates will have an opportunity to visit the Pier on that night. The three silver cups offered by Mr. Allen W. Clark, Chairman of the National "Clean Up and Paint Up" Bureau, St. Louis, Missouri, for the most effective work accomplished during the observance of the National Negro Health Week, will be awarded to the committee of the three cities, whose reports to the Chairman of the Committee of Awards, show the best results. President J. C. Napier will deliver his annual message to the delegates and Dr. R. R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, Chairman of the Executive Committee, will also be one of the principal speakers. Railroad Rates In view of the war conditions and the changes which have transpired in the operation of the railroads, it will not be possible to secure special rates this year, but it may be possible to secure tourist tickets and these tickets will, of course, afford the visitors and delegates an opportunity to visit a number of other eastern points while they are away from home. Mr. E. T. Attwell, Transportation Agent for the Business League, will have an important announcement to make regarding the summer tourist tickets in a later bulletin. There has never been a time when there was greater need for united action, undivided co-operation, and mutual helpfulness than at present. There are questions of paramount importance which need most careful discussion and attention by the members of the Negro race, and in this trying crisis of the nation's history. the race can do no better thing than to meet together, in this annual gathering which is planned by the officials of the National Negro Business League, and discuss ways and means of co-operating with the Government in the great struggle in which it is engaged. For further information relative to the meeting of the Business League, communications should be sent Hon. J. C. Napier, Napier Court, Nashville, Tennessee; Dr. R. R. Moton, Chairman of Executive Committee, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, or Emmett J. Scott, Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Mamie Elizabeth Pauley Mamie Elizabeth Pauley, second child of James H. and Prudella Pauley was born at Dayton, Ohio, 225 Henry street, January 27, 1895. Departed this life June 15, 1918; age 23 years, four months and 19 days. The father and a brother James Edward, preceded her to the grave. She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, a mother, one brother and hosts of friends and relatives. After receiving a common school education in the grammar schools of Dayton, she entered Stivers high school in 1909, from which she graduated in 1913. Not being satisfied with having gone this far, she sought a higher education and so entered the Dayton Normal school, from which place she graduated in 1915 with the qualifications of a teacher. She was teacher of the public night school during the winter of 1916-17. She professed faith in Christ in 1912 and was baptized. She was an active member in the Wesleyan Methodist Church and Sunday School, being secretary of the Sunday School for nearly eight years, which duty she performed with care and accuracy. She was married to Mr. Thomas Austin, September 26, 1917, to which union were born twin girls. Too much cannot be said of the pure life and noble character of Mamie, for we realize that her value was intimable. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends, and especially from the circle of girls who knew and loved her dearly. All too soon was the young life put out. God grant that we may profit by having been loaned her life as an inspiration, which has been a beacon light to our pathway. 'As the swallow homeward flies, So from out our land she's flown, As the faded blossom dies When the autumn winds have blown. She's now smiling from afar For life's trials are all past, She, our faithful guiding star Is at rest with God at last. How she labored here blow, Ever standing for the right, Always doing faithfully Whatso'er was in her might. But we meekly bow to Thee, O Thou great Eternal Son, Lingering, sad, forlorn, yet we Strive to say, "Thy will be done." Card of Thanks We wish to thank the many friends for their kind expressions of sympathy extended us in the hour of our sad bereavement. For the beautiful doral offerings and for the words of consolation. We wish to thank the undertaker, Mr. Lorrits, for his services, the choir for their beautiful music, and the Sisterhood and Sunday School for their kind resolutions. Also Rev. Bass for his words of consolation and cheer, and to thank all who in any way contributed in lightening our burden at this, the passing of our loved one.

SOUTH LYNCHES THEM Henry Johnson, a colored soldier, of Albany, New York, has been cited and decorated by the French military authorities for what the French general of division terms a magnificent example of courage and energy." With him was Needham Roberts, another colored man. "Both men fought bravely," says Pershing in his official report of the exploit. On the same day that the cables from France brought the news of Johnson's and Roberts' heroism, the wives from Valdosta, Georgia, brought the story of the lynching of a colored woman, Mary Turner by name, because she had attempted to resist the lynching of her husband. This coincidence has moved the New York World to inquire: With tens of thousands of American negroes fighting for civilization in France under the American flag, how much longer are the American people to tolerate negro lynchings?" The answer is easy. Negro lynchings will be tolerated in the South— where they occur almost exclusively—so long as the political party to which the New York World adheres is permitted to deprive negro citizens of their right to vote and thus, through the exercise of their civil rights, to protect their rights to property and to life. IN MEMORY OF MOTHER Words—how weak they are. What do they mean to the stricken in spirit, to the broken-hearted husband, daughter and son who mourn for one whose voice has been stilled, whose presence can never again lighten the home with its warmth, its cheer and love? If we could but crystalize feelings and emotion, then we could fully describe a broken human heart—but we cannot, so we must resort to words. One year ago the 20th of this month (June), God through His infinite mercy, saw fit to take from our family circle our dear mother. So, on the 20th day of June, I offer these weak words as an expression of an emotion I long to express, but cannot. "Dearest Mother, since thou hast passed away, It seems not a year, but only yes. For, oh, how dearly I loved you, Mother, And love cannot forget. The Lord took you from us, and it was His own holy will, But in taking, He left a vacancy in our hearts that can never be filled. But during our saddest moments, One happy thought holds sway: We shall meet again, dear Mother, And be happy some sweet day. HARRY W. WINSLOW.

Government Must Have Metal If War Machine Is to Be Kept Going. Washington, D. C.—The newest type of slacker and one who is doing his country a great amount of harm, is the man or woman who buys or even encourages the purchase of platinum jewelry, according to the bureau of mines, department of the interior. For the country is and for many years will be desperately in need of the scarce and precious platinum in its industrial work and must have it if the war machine is to go full speed ahead. A plan proposed by the federal officials would stop the use of platinum in jewelry, not only for the war but for all time. Officials of the government who are in close touch with the situation are filled with apprehension as to the future supply of platinum. In an effort to fill the immediate pressing needs of the government in its war program, the war industries board has ordered that 75 per cent of the stock of platinum in the hands of manufacturing jewelers be commanded and also the complete stock held by refiners, importers and dealers, but this, it is said, will only fill a small gap and that temporarily. It has been hoped by federal officials and chemists throughout the country who understand the seriousness of the situation that the whims of fashion might yield to national needs and that purchasers of jewelry would demand gold and silver or a white alloy and so release platinum for its highest use, but the results have been disappointing. The American Chemical society, an organization composed of the leading 12,000 chemists of the country, which is also back of this movement, has issued an appeal to the people not under any circumstances either during the war or after the war to use platinum jewelry, but to conserve this unique and fast dwindling metal now priced at five times the cost of gold for the exclusive use of the chemical and other necessary industries. SOLDIER INDIAN NAMES WORRY THE SERGEANT Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wash.-Sloux from the Dakotas and Chippewas from Minnesota are worrying the first sergeant of the Twenty-fifth company One Hundred and Sixty-sixth Depot brigade here. The Indians, inducted into the national army, insist on keeping their tribal names and are so entered upon the roster. The result is that roll call every morning sounds like this: "Johnny Chase-the-Wesel, Look-as-You-Sit, Sleep-as-This-is-the-Water, Mist-Over-the-Water, Charlie See-the-Elk, Antelope, Middle Rapids and Blue Bird. BARBERS BEMOAN TRADE LOSS Women Who Are Taking Men's Places in Industries Are Not Helping Tonsorial Artist. Memphis, Tenn.—Women taking the place of men in the industrial world may be filling the Jobs all right, but they are not helping the barber. Visit any tonsorial establishment and ask the man who wields the gleaming blade. He will tell you some of his best customers have gone—gone to fight the Germans. And he will tell you that all the women who took their places are strangers to him. While the barber complains the "beauty doctor" has a different story to tell. She says her patrons are more numerous than ever before, and they are more liberal. They spend money lavishly. A few dollars to remove a wrinkle that has appeared as a result of business worries is handed over without a murmur. Powder and paint and toilet water are used lavishly. GRAND DUKE WORKS AS CLERK "London Michael" and Countess Endure Reverses Uncomplainingly in London. London.—One of the Russian grand dukes, known as the "London Michael" to distinguish him from the other Grand Duke Michael, has fallen from great wealth to comparative penury as a result of the Russian revolution. Before the war he lived in one of the finest residential estates in the neighborhood of London. When his income from Russia was cut off he subleased this property and is now a clerk at $2,000 a year in an office near Westminster abbey. His wife, the Countess Torby, conducts their small home with zest and without grumbling. "Probably no family in Great Britain has endured greater reverses than this one, or borne its misfortune more cheerfully," comments the -Evening News. S. A. R. Dies at Omana.

SPLENDID ADDRESS <A large and enthusiastic attend- ence upon the part of members and quests of the ever popular and well- known orgahization, “The Just Us €lub,” greeted Attorney Thomas J. Howard, now of Cincinnati, and for- merly a practicioner of Dayton and Hamilton, Ohio, on’ the subject of fephe Future of the Young Negro.” or, as iis friends like to call him, was as usual at his best, and demon- Strated to the boys, that the tricks of oratory were still an art that he jas more than mastered. é Loyalty to country, to self and race were earnestly urged by thesspeaker, to be supreme in the virtues of co- operation and patronage in all things where racial interest and success were concerned. ‘A race true to itself, unmoved by gaudy clamor, uninterrupted by racial prejudices, enviousness and jealousy; uncorfupted by intrigue or alliance with any person not true to us, if followed upon the part of the young Negro, would deserve uitimately and win success. ‘The Hoh. M. H. Jones presided at the meeting and with his usual grace and eloquence introduced the speaker of the evening who has been his in- timate friend for years, Hon. Tom Norris and Dr. Porter spoke in a happy vein. Colonel Harty Williams, the genial host, ably assisted by the popular “Ches” Green, and others, served a toothsome and dainy buifet lunch, with the “smiles” and smokes that accompany a repast of this kind, Our “Beau Brummel,” John Young, ‘was much in evidence with that smile that will not come off, that “prince?’ of gentlemen, Harry Morey, added to the pleasantries of the eve- ning, George Holmes talked as much as ever. Brother Lucrees told of his experiences in France, when the Great Napolean was nearing Water- loo. . Dave Chesley said it was a dream, and Colonel Higgins acted as & pacifier, when hostilities seemed apparent. And then at a wee, wee hour, a general chorus of the snost congenial crowd ever assembled at a festive board in Dayton said let us adjourn and 6 home. TO TEACH DISABLED Australia Recognizes Duty’ to Crippled Soldiers, se Bubsietence aces to. Be Pald Men While Taey Are Learning ‘Trades. ‘Washington.—The manner in which Australia is meeting the problem of Tepatriating the men fighting in Hu- rope is described in dispatches to the bureau of foreign und domestie com- merce, Much interest was aroused by the dispatches, as foreshadowing what the United States must do when the tide of disabled men begins to flow ‘westward. ‘Two principles form the basis of the Australian system: First, that the purpose 1s to secure the rérestahlish- ment of returned soldiers in the Indus- trial life of the community; second, that as a soldier abandoned his civil calling to serve the state, it is the duty of the state to sustain him until ‘an opportunity for such re-establish- ment is assured, Subsistence wages- will be paid to men seeking employment or being trained in technical schools. ‘The amounts will vary according. to the number of dependents, the maximum being £8, 6 shillings, or approximately $16.50, A feature of the vocational training planned will be national workshops, wherein men whose Injurles preclude the possibility of thelr ever becoming competent to earn their living as nor- mal workinen will be educated to new tasks and perhaps employed perma- nently. The totally and permanently Gisabled will be provided for in: hos- tels, or, alternately, by special grants supplementary to thelr pensions, If they prefer to remain with their friends, ‘ ‘Widows: desirous of learning some useful trade will be afforded the neces. sary training and sustenance? Ad: vances of money will be made in. cer. tain eases for the establishment of small businesses, for tools and for transit to employment, : Australia also is following the prae- tice of the United States after the elyil war of granting land to returned sol: diers.

Their appeals to God for a blessing such as they had not experienced were unanimous. They lingered a few moments in an expectant attitude, longing, hoping that then and there their appeals would be answered. But not so, and they quietly wended their way home, hoping, praying. The Sunday School session ended, the choir, vested in their beautiful white robes, singing Hosana, marched to their places in the choir stand. They sang fervently, "Praise God from whom alllessings flow." The congregation joined their voices with the choir, and the echo of the morning prayer service seemed to sound and resound in the song of praise, and blending with the prayer and song together, stirred the hearts of all present. The voices of those who sang died out, the organ with its last sweet notes that was an echo to the voices that commands us to do. For these permanent and everlasting blessings which God promises, the devil seems to go God one better. He says to us 'Oh, yes! God has offered you joy and so on, but you have to obey the many tedious laws; you have to perform so many hard duties; you have to observe so many conflicting commands; and you have, besides all these, to wait so long for your joy and your salvation; why, I am offering you immediate pleasure, instantaneous delight; present riches; and you have only to do as I say, take my advice, follow your own desires, be your own master, enjoy life as you please, look out for yourself always, every time. Eat, drink, be merry, be happy, lo as you please." In our short-sightedness of our spiritual sight, we very soon fall victim to this drible. Our minds become full of sins so varied that they become places of pestilence; our eyes so over-scaled with the cataract of selfishness that we are prevented from seeing anything that does not strike us almost down. Our sensitiveness of conscience becomes hard and callous; our boldness in evil becomes to us a heavenly surprise, so to speak, our beauty in sin becomes for us a rich adornment; our very faces become brass while our tongues whips of scorpions. But that is not all! For do as we will, we will some day come to die. And here is the great conclusion. Who is right, God or the Devil? Which is the better offer? That of transient merriment or that of permanent joy! That of satisfying carnal desires and will or that of training both the desire and the will to choose the best, the truest, the most permanent and highest good? (2) Then, again, this adds had ceased to sing, seemed to linger as though touched by the fingers of an angel. The minister rose to announce the morning hymn, his voice seemed to be more impressive as the beautiful words so fitted for the occasion fell from his lips: "Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer's praise! The glories of my God and King, the triumphs of His grace!" While singing this inspired hymn, the door of the church was quietly opened, and a little man, short of statue, quietly and in an unassuming way, silently wended his way to the front pews. The minister looking up from the pages of his hymnal to ascertain whom the new comer was, and to learn what was the cause of the whispered conversations started all over the church, discovered Bishop Heard standing close by, heartily entering into the song of praises. His face was wreathed in smiles, his voice was strong, and as the last verse of this beautiful hymn was sung, he seemed to furnish what was lacking by the congregation as he voiced the words, "Hear Him, ye deaf, His praise ye dumb, your loosed tongues employ; ye blind, behold your Saviour come, and leap ye young for joy." A prayer was offered by Rev. Wood, who afterward with two others, cast his lot with Eaker Street. The pastor held a whispered conversation with the Bishop, then securing his manuscript from the Bible, seemed to hide the little weak message that would be replaced by one of the best Gospel preachers in the A. M. E. connection. Were the prayers of those who meet at the early morning meeting answered? Yes, thank God, for we not only feasted upon the glowing words that burned their way into every heart at the morning service, but the Bishop was prevailed upon to give us a message of encouragement at the afternoon services, which was announced for the first time at the conclusion of the morning service, and those of you who were there know the result of this meeting spiritually and financially. "He just passed this way," but his passing was a great source of inspiration to a struggling church, who for years have battled to keep alive that spirit of faith that will not shrink, though pressed by every foe. When this passing world is done, When has sunk yon glaring sun, When we stand with Christ in glory Looking o'er life's finished story, Then, Lord, shall I fully know, Not 'till then—how much I owe: To those who pass our way. Fifty-two dollars added to our building fund, three accessions to the church, and an inspiration that will last for many days were the result of "His passing this way." devil is in our own hearts, in our own homes—in our own persons, or the persons of those about as critics and cynics of the destructive type,—fault-finders, life-enders, joy killers,—these obstacles to lofty effort, these arctic blasts to the enthusiastic, these blight to hope and youth,—these are our adversaries, these are the disciples of the devil, these are the advance agents of hell. We need then to conquer against this inglorious group, we must if we must be saved the contempt of true men and the judgment of God. We need to be strong—to go from strength to strength—in order to make our life an earnest of the permanent joy in God. And since God is omnipotent, having the power over death and the devil and hell, God alone can supply us the weapon to defend ourselves—nay to be victorious over our adversary. Then as soldiers—loyal, brave, true, courageous and wise,—let us be sober, let us be vigilant, for our adversary, the devil, like a roaring lion, seeks daily to devour us. A splendid meeting of the St. Cecilia Guild took place last Tuesday evening. There young ladies have planned a Lawn Fete. It will be a Fete to open the eyes of artistic Dayton. The date will soon be announced. Music will be one of the features. The Woman's Auxiliary succeeded very admirably in their last supper. The women of St. Margaret's have a most clever knack in the preparation of their meals. It baffles definition. It resides, however, in every meal—noy, every item of every meal they prepare. They never fail to please the palate or satisfy the c pacity of the "bread basket." The Rector's Guild is at present hunting in the tall timbers of the summer forest and stalking a large deer. May their cartridges keep dry and prime, and their rifles free and faithful to bring down the game. We are not worried over their aim. It is too true for words. Heaven send them help from above and below. 11:00 a. m., Morning Prayer and Sermon. Come, come early, come prepared to receive mercy, consolation, encouragement, instruction and God's blessing.
