Wesleyan Conference In Annual Session ... Vol 7 Number 14 Wesleyan Co In An WESLEYAN METHODIST NOTES Tuesday evening, September 9th was the reception given in honor of the Ministers Delegates and Visitors to the annual conference. A good program of some of the best talent of the city and music by the Junior choir was rendered. The conference proper opened Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. and will continue until Sunday evening, Septtmber 14th., Sunday school at 9:30 a.m. Preaching at 11 a.m. "Sensational WILSON VS. BROWN Church Trial Temporarily Postponed The article appearing in The Forum last week was not clear and I fear some of my friends were mislead. I will reveal the facts. Certain members at the Zion Baptist church were attempting to force an immediate trial in the church before the lawsuit is heard in the Courts of Montgomery county, I and Atty, William O. Stokes appeared before the Deacon board and asked for an extension of time and we thought our request was granted for the reasons which I will state. My attorney informed the Deacon board that a church trial before the damage suit might prove prejudicial to my interest, because I would be compelled to reveal my witnesses and MRS. HIGGINS RETURNS HOME At the close of a successful term of service under the War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A., Mrs. J. G. Higgins returned home on last Sunday night, accompanied by her son, Chas. L. D., who spent his vacation in the camps. Mrs. Higgins, who has given much time and study in the interest of war time and community activities, was one of the seven woman secretaries in the Tidewater district of the Eastern department, located at Camp Stuart, Va. She was a member of the staff of which her husband, Secy. Chas. D. Higgins, has charge. The fine spirit of fellowship existing among the secretaries is voiced in the following letters: Fishkill, New York. My Dear Mrs. Higgins:—It was with regret that I found I could not get to camp I before I left last Thursday. Perhaps it was just as well, though, for I found it hard to keep the "choky feeling" out of my throat when I left, and the boys would have said, "Now, isn't that just like a woman!" Browning says somewhere, "Be our joy three-fourth pain," and it certainly applied to my leaving Stuart. I have Mr. Peters, my brother, the garden, my friends up north, many of them just out of the service—but I have lost you all except in memory. You have done such a fine work, Mrs. Higgins. I have been very pleased to be your "boss," although if all my work had been like bossing you there would have been little use for me at Tidewater. But perhaps our having known and understood each other may THE DAYTON FORUM by one of our able elders.

Friends are invited to worship with us Sunday as we expect to wait on the Lord.

The Deacon Board transferred the case to the church while my attorney was away on his vacation and I could not have prepared for trial if I had desired. Therefore, for the foregoing reasons when we saw that the matter could not be further delayed my attorney asked that the matter be dis- torney asked that the matter be dismissed without prejudice to either party and without prejudice to future adction. This was done without examining any witness or any discussion of the truth or untruth of the alleged charge. As soon as the court has heard the case I shall immediately file charges in the church against James S. Brown and shall make every effort to have him atone for his sin against my family. I have not dropped the matter, and will not.

It may well be that our work will only be started when the boys are all sent home. Perhaps you and I may never know just what the answer is. Please give my love to the boys. Tell them to be good and as contented as may be; when they go home they must still be good and wise and mind their mothers. Tell them you and I are counting on them. It is not easy sailing in civilian life and it will take every one of us to help in putting things to rights out here. And we can do it only if we help one another, and try to understand. District Secy., Woman's Department August 5, 1919. Y. M. C. A. Headquarters, Camp Stuart, Va., Aug. 20, 1919. Dear Mrs. Higgins:—It is with regret that we hear you are about to leave the work. For the past eight months we have watched your wonderful work among the boys at the hospital. You have shown yourself an earnest and tireless worker in the great task of keeping up the morals of the many patients whom you have served. Your wonderful personality has gained a reputation as an agreeable and helpful colleague to the enlisted man. The letters from discharged soldiers from all parts of the country show the nature of your work. Those who have been associated with you express their sincere regret that you are leaving the service and THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE all wish you success in the future. Sincerely, JOHN ROSS, AYLIFFE W. BRIMLEY, A. C. WEBB, Committee. GLENN L. FOLSOM, Camp Secy McMEECHAN HEADS COLORED ELKS Record Breaking Session Ends Atlantic City, N. J.—George W. F. McMeechan, attorney-at-law, was elected Grand Exalted Ruler of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. in Atlantic City last week and with a staff of officers of the oldest and noblest kind. Mr. McMeechan precedes Armond W. Scott, whose remarkable record of three years is a revelation and now a pleasure for all Elks to refer to, and an example that other executives can well afford to follow. Unquestionably the Elks surpassed all organizations that have ever appeared in convention in Atlantic City, in point of numbers, deportment and general appearance, they elicited the high praise, with a volume of compliments from the citizens, the Mayor and the thousands of on-books who viewed them with admiration. For a time it was presumed that the Knights of Pythians had reached the high water mark and while it is true that theirs was one of magnificence it remained so until the Antler Herd unfurled their colors and bedecked themselves in their rich costumes. The key to the city so appropriately presented by his honor Mayor Harry Bacharach to Armond W. Scott, was true in every sense, the significance of freedom to the city. The presentation was followed with a speech such as perhaps has never been heard before by any colored audience. It was brimful of sincerity with elaborate points, that forced the audience to continue their applause and the mighty audience that filled the auditorium at Light House Lodgers Headquarters were unstinted in their praise for the address of the evening. On Tuesday the day of the parade, the day was ideal, and a record breaking number were in line, arrayed like Solomon in all his glory. Twenty-one bands were in line and competition was rife for the honors of the day, but it remained for the Pride of Camdon Lodge to run away with the honors for the best dressed and O. V. Cato, of Philadelphia, to have the largest number in line. The New York Lodges, Manhattan, Imperial and Monarch were superb in dress and their numbers and neatness won for them great applause. Among the features of the New Yorker's line was Richard Keyes and his walking dog, noted to travel a great distance walking upright, while "Bill" owned by D. W. Parker and a mascot of the Manhattan Lodge, stated that he preferred walking on four legs as he intended covering the whole distance. Bill was much impressed with the reviewing stand and extended an invitation to the audience to visit New York. Nothing occurred to mar the gay antlers, no accident or incident, nor disturbance of any nature that could in the least alarm the police, fire or hospital departments. It is timely to state here that the three New York City Lodges were headed by the most famous bands of Manhattan. The reception held at the Million Dollar Pier on Thursday evening is an epoch in the history of Atlantic City, for no less than 15,000 people representing all sections of the country, attended, bedecked in rich and rare costumes of the latest creation. In fact the zenith of the mo- All Coming To Dayton Messrs. Thomas and Jackson, mana diste art appeared to have been reached. The Grand Palace was a bower of beauty, holding as it did an aggregation of celebrated colored men and women of America, and thousands responded to the music conducted by I. Major Stucker, and at the close it was the concensus of opinion that the 20th annual session of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. had a complimentary record in numbers, lodges, temples, finance and delegates. The officers elected for the ensuing term are George W. F. McMechan, Grand Exalted Ruler; W. K. Truchart, leading Knight; Geo E. Bates, secretary; James T. Carter treasurer, and Wm. Shams, Loyal Knight; H. A. Watkins, Lecturing Knight; Dr. Kenndy, Grand Trustee; Laurie Braxton, Esq.; R. P. Caine, Inerguard; J. V. Green, Tilor; Rev. C. G. Cummings, Grand Chaplain; and W.

A. were the guests of the H-Y Club of the "Y" at a Co-Ed social Tuesday evening from 8 to 10 o'clock. The girls were chaperoned by Misses Jackson and Moore, and Mrs. Courtney, of the Y. W. C. A. stag. Group games were played under the direction of Misses Jackson and Moore. Light refreshments were served. It is planned to conduct such socials at regular intervals. Several of the boys of the association have entered the lists for the Emancipation Day races. There will be two groups, one for the older boys and one for the younger. Mr. Robert Hall is working assiduously to make these events a success. Entries will be received up to and including September 15th. Prizes will be given the winners of the various events. The Religious Committee plans to begin a series of meetings for men the first Sunday in October. These meetings will be held in the rooms on Third street, and will be addressed by speakers of prominence. My Byron Alexander, who has been connected with the Association as assistant secretary, has given up his position to take a clerkship in the post-office. The Association takes this method of making recognition of the inestimable service rendered the "Y." MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT Mrs. Simon H. Grant, of S.

Price 5 Cents President Jernigan and Bishop Ross Extend Welcome in Name of 12,000,000 Negro Americans UNITED STATES PROTECTORATE FOR GERMAN-AFRICAN COLONIES WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 9. Wednesday afternoon a delegation representing the National Race Congress of America was cordially received at the Hotel Lafayette by President-Slect C, D. B. King, of the Republic of Liberia, who is here on a special government mission and for observation and recuperation, following a long period of diplomatic service in Paris at the Peace Conference. The visiting party was made up of Rev. W. H. Jernigan, president of the National Race Congress; Bishop I. N. Ross, of the A. M. E. Church; Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Rev. H. J. Callis, Rev. W. J. Howard, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, Rev. W. A. Taylor, Prof. John R. Hawkins, executive secretary of the Emergency Defense Fund of the Congress; Rev. J. H. Randolph, Rev. J. L. S. Solloman, J. Finley Wilson and R. W. Thompson. Each was introduced to Mr. King by Dr. Jernigan. An address welcoming the President-Elect to this country in the name of the National Race Congress of America and on behalf of the 12,000,000 colored citizens of the American republic, was delivered by Bishop Ross, who was followed in similar vein by Dr. Waldron; Dr. Brooks, Dr. Callis, and Prof. Hawkins. They pledged the support of the colored people of the land to any plan that might be devised, looking to the uplift and development of their "Slater Republic" in far-off Africa, regarding Liberia as the "open door" through which the New World may enter the inner life of the "Dark Continent" and bring the leaven of a higher civilization. They were proud of Liberia's wonderful progress as a recognized government, and "loved it next to their own country, because of its oneness with them in blood, religion, and language." President-Elect King, of pleasing personality and modest dignity, responded graciously and thanked the visitors for their assurance of sympathetic interest. He was gratified to note that all America seemed to be awakening to the vast possibilities bound up in the future of Liberia. This new and forward-looking country, keenly alive to the value of every type of education and equipment, extends a welcome to enterprising young men who possess qualities for leadership and to others who are masters of the technical and scientific arts. Following the speaking the entire party was photographed on the hotel lawn by A. N. Scurlock. President-Elect King has been received at the White House and the State department and has been highly honored by many representative colored citizens here. He will be one of the principal speakers at the "Suffrage Session" of the National Race Congress, which will open in this city October 7th, with delegates from every State in the Union and with commission to voice the sentiments of the Negro people of every land. American Protectorate Wanted for German-African Colonies President Jernigan, of the Race Congress, recently appeared before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and made a most eloquent and effective plea for justice for all the darker peoples of the world and emphasized the importance of having an American protectorate established over the African colonies wrested from the tyranny of the German Empire. His speech was a "keynote." This and other problems of vital concern to the Negro will be fully discussed at the coming meeting of the National Race Congress of America, set for October 7th to 11th, at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Liberal contributions are being received from many sources for the $250,000 Emergency Defense Fund, in charge of Prof. John R. Hawkins, designed to protect the welfare of the race wherever such protection is urgently needed. The Ship Came In BY VICTOR ARNOLD (Copyright, 1919, by the Western New- paper Union.) At a point on the river shore where a great bluff projected bright, careless youth splashed and laughed and shouted with joy. Alma Dunn had brought the four little children of a neighbor to play in the sand and, their shoes and stockings high and dry on the sent of an old rotting scow, they ventured ankle deep into the sparkling water. At that same moment on the other side of the bluff, pensive, disheartened, young manhood in sombre mood, sat Marvin Rose, staring listlessly at the water. He had left the city that had held nothing for him of encouragement or hope, with high ambitions dashed and only husks for his portion. He was so absorbed that the echo of a scream followed by the uponious chatter of excited juvenile voices failed to arouse him. He was thinking sorrowfully of the ships of fame and fortune that had never come in. In a cynical way he languaged bitterly as there floated around the base of the bluff a battered old scow. "About the only kind of a craft that will ever bring weat or woe to me!" soliloquized Marvin Rose. Then he observed on the gunwale of the scow five pairs of shoes and stockings. Four of them were of diminutive size. The other, dainty, graceful, told of gilish ownership. He went quite to his ankles in the water and rescued this queer flotsum. The episode rather interested him. Judging from the volces he had heard Rose reasoned out that some party had lost their footwear through the treachery of the shifting scow. The bluff came sheer down to the water's edge with no path beyond it. He made an armful of the articles and proceeded inland. He crossed the bluff and came upon a wagon road, and a little farther on a man bearing a scythe. The latter looked curious as he made out the burden Rose carried. "Where did you find them?" he inquired at once. "Alma Dunn and the little ones will be glad to get them back, for none of them probably have more than one pair," and as Rose explained he continued: "I met them going dolefully homeward barefoot. You'll get a welcome, mister." "Where does Miss Dunn and the little ones live?" inquired Rose, and the man indicated a little group of houses about half a mile distant and Rose trudged on. The first house painted slate color was his guide, and as he knocked at its door the unshod dansel of the brookside approached. She flushed and shrank aside to hide her feet. "They floated past me down the river," said Marvin. "I am so glad! My little friends were quite forlorn over their loss. Father, a strange gentleman has brought home the lost shoes. Won't you thank him and entertain him while I restore them to the little ones?" An old man supporting himself with a cane came hobbling to the door. When Alma returned she found her father and the stranger seated at a table discussing the meal she had prepared, familiar as two old friends. "I reckon, just as the children declared, the fatties had something to do with your mishap, for it has drifted Mr. Rose right up against what both he and I have been looking for," said Mr. Dunn. "He wants work, and I got it to give him. We have pretty near arranged that he is to take charge of my three teams and super-intend the town work until I get on my feet again." Mr. Dunn was the owner of the teams in question; in fact, outside of his humble little home they were about all he had of value—except Alma. Before Rose closed his eyes that night he decided that his ship had come in, for the homely old float had brought him into the company of the most winome lass he had ever met. Before the week was out he was content to pass his life in the secluded little hanslet. The charge of the teams opened honorable employment and the evenings spent with Alma and her father were occasions of rare comfort and contentment. Once he referred in mock dolefulness to the ship that had never come to him, but likewise to the river craft that had brought him peace and happiness. He touched a vital chord in the experience of the old man when he did so. Mr. Dunn had invested nearly his all in a nautical venture in behalf of an old sailor friend "who had never come back," he told Rose mournfully. But Marvin forgot his past disappointments and Silas Dunn his investment loss when the former and shy, flushing Alma told the old man of their mutual love. "You've got more than my blessing," he said. "You've got my confidence, and you'll be true as steel to Alma, I know, and what more do I wish in life?" Just one day before the wedding there came wonderful news to the humble woodland home. It was to the effect that the Evening Star had arrived in port after strenuous wanderings in southern seas, with her rich cargo piloted safely to port. "Which means luxury and prosperity for the three of us," proclaimed generous-hearted Silas Dunn. "That's all the Evening Star does bring, though while that wreck of a scow brought me a loving son and a happy daughter in my declining years." New York.—Oriental art treasures from the collection of the late Charles Stewart Smith came to the final session of their sale in the American Art galleries one day recently, and the leading price of $11,500 was paid by Parrish Watson for a tall, brilliant sang-de-boeff vase of the Lang Yao genre and bearing a seventeenth century date of the K'ang-hsi era. It is said to have been the property of the late Captain Brinkley, U. S. A., a noted connosseur in Japan, before being bought by Mr. Smith. A tall powder-blue vase of the same era went to J. Volran for $990. J. Goetz paid $750 for a small sang-de-boeff vase of the Lang-Yao genre and K'ang-hsi era. The session yielded $22,167 and the whole sale $27,016. USE TRUCK TO MAKE MAPS Americans Turn Out 10,000 an Hour to 300 by French in Interesting Experiments. Paris.—The Twenty-ninth engineers of the American expeditionary force are conducting some interesting experiments in map making and reproducing in the field. With a five-ton truck as a printing and lithographic establishment they have succeeded in turning out 10,000 copies of field maps an hour. The French and British are taking a keen interest in the American outfit, as they have used a railway train for such work and their best output has been about 300 copies an hour. Furthermore, a railway train is limited in operation to available trackage, while there virtually is no limitation to the mobility of the truck. EUCLID AVE. A. M. E.

Samuels-Bellboder, Vicar The summer services came to a close last Sunday. Beginning Sunday next the regular autumn services will be had. The hour of the morning service will be the same. The evening service each Sunday will be at 4:30 p. m. Evry communicant member adherent and friend of St. Margaret's is most urgently requested to be present next Sunday morning when the Vicar will tell publicly the glorious good news he received for them. The services will be one of thanksgiving and resolution to rise level to the opportunity presented. It is confidently expected that Sister Anna Mary, of Cleveland, will spend the month of October at St. Margaret's, and assist Father Samuel-Belboder with the autumn and winter plan of work among the women and children of St. Margaret's. Instruction to the class for Holy Confirmation will begin on the first Sunday afternoon in October at the 4:30 service. "Whom would ye that I release unto you, Barabbas, or Jesus, which is called the Christ?" This was the text of the sermon last Sunday. It resolved itself into I. Pilate's diplomacy, or (a) policy against principle; (b), the policy of the Jewish rulers against the principle of righteous dealing; (c), the ignorance of mobocracy which is a close relation to democracy. II. The untroubled attitude of Jesus, the incarnation of the principle of right action and true principle, in the savage presence of a rough mob, moved by the passing but virulent passion of policy. III. Barabbas, the representative of arson, hatred, murder, robbery, arrogance, and all the deviltry known to man, as against Jesus Christ, the Innocent teacher and friend of man, the sympathetic brother, the loving Savior, the bringer of light, the preserver of life—the Savior of the World—and Barabbas won there! Whom would ye today? Services next Sunday: 7 a. m. Holy Communion; 10 a. m. Church school; 11 a. m., morning prayer and sermon; 4:30 p. m., evensong and address. Preacher, the Vicar The J. H. T.
