EAKER ST. NOTES
This is the last Sunday before the convening of our annual conference, and also our last communion day in this conference year. Therefore, every member of the church and all well wishers are urgently requested to be present and participate in the services. The pastor will preach his farewell sermon, and in the evening the choir will render a musical program. We hope to make the closing scenes of our administration pleasant and profitable to all, hoping and trusting that God in his wisdom will foster the interests of the church, and care for his children who strive to do his will.
I wish to take advantage of this opportunity to extend our sincere thanks to all who have in any way tried to make it pleasant for me and my family during the four years of our ministry. All that has been accomplished was through the efforts of those who had the work at heart and allowed God to use them to an advantage. May the future bring flattering results built upon the foundation constructed in the past four years. Good bye and God bless you all.
BETHEL BAPTIST
CHURCH NOTES
The sermon of last Sunday was a great blessing to all who heard it. The greater portion of the Sunday school hour will be given over to a special program in honor of our pianist Mrs. Booker, who has done such noble work in our church and will soon leave to make her home in Kansas City, Mo. Words cannot express how we regret to give her up, but pray that the protecting spirit will always be with her, that she will gain many friends and be loved there as she is by our congregation.
Sunday morning the pastor will speak on "The Uninclinated Nature of Christ." In the afternoon the choir will have song services. The missionary sermon will be preached by the pastor in the evening. Subject, Whosoever will let Him come and partake of the water of life freely. All are cordially invited.
Remember the sick. Miss Geneva

C. M. E. CHURCH NOTES
Last Sunday was a glorious day with the C. M. E's.
The 11 o'clock services were most excellent, the church was crowded.
The pastor leaves for the Annual Conference which convenes at Mt. Sterling, Ky., October 14th. He is ready to report in full on all classes at this time.
The members feel proud to know the Lord has so wonderfully prospered us this year. The cry now is for a new church. Constantly new members are coming into the church, bright, talented young men and women.
It is earnestly hoped that all the membership will be at church Sunday, October 5, since it will be the last communion service for this conference year. The Sunday school is growing; every Sunday the crowds are larger; Supt. Bush is well pleased at the progress the Sunday school is making.

NATIONAL RACE CONGRES TO HEAR EMINENT SPEAKERS
Vigorous Program Outlined for "Suffrage Session" in Defense of Constitutional Rights of America's 12,000,000 Negro Citizens
DR. JERNIGAN TO TELL OF HIS OBSERVATIONS IN FRANCE
Thrilling Message from Over the Sea
Special to THE FORUM:
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 25. All is in readiness for the Fourth Annual (or "Suffrage Session") of the National Race Congress of America, called to meet at the Metropolitan Baptist Church in this city October 7th to 11th. Reports from every section of the country indicate that the attendance will be the largest and most representative that has yet gathered on this continent to consider the welfare of the Negro people. Enthusiastic rallies have been held in the various communities, and the local units organized by churches, fraternities, business and professional leagues and conferences have elected delegates who will come to the nation's capital October 7th to enter their protest against mob violence, lynching, political and civic proscription and to emphasize the necessity of the BAL LOT as the primary safeguard to full and complete AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP for the Negro.
What the Race Congress Will Demand
Among the demands of the Race
Congress will make are: The abolition of the "Jim-Crow" car system of railroads; the abandonment of discriminatory regulations and segregation; fair trial by jury and a recognition of the Negro's right to sit on juries; the adoption of an economic wage scale to be applied alike to both races; adequate educational facilities; and the same military training for colored and white youths; reform in the penal institutions of the South and the breaking up of peonage; improved housing conditions for industrial workers and satisfactory provision for health and sanitary protection in the cities and towns; and the strict enforcement of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States in every State of the Union. The Race Congress makes it plain that the basic influence that will bring these desired reforms is SUFFRAGE, and it is determined to insist upon the BALLOOT the vital force that will enable the ace to enjoy the full fruits of freedom and to obtain its rightful share in the DEMOCRACY for which a world-war has just been fought and von. All who subscribe to these broad principles of SOCIAL JUSTICE should send delegates to Washington October 7th, and assist in formulating a program through which these sacred privileges may be most speedily secured.
An especial feature of the Race Congress will be the report of Rev. W. H. Jernigan, who went to Paris as the accredited representative of the 12,000,000 Colored Americans, and who took a strong stand in the Pan-African Congress for the just government of the African colonies wrested from Germany, and signed the petition of the Negro people for proper consideration of their grievances at the hands of the Peace Conference. Emrine Speakers. Who Will Address
Announcement is made of a long list of able and influential speakers who will appear before the Race Congress during its five-days session. Some of those who have accepted invitation to deliver addresses are: United States Senator Warren G. Harding, of Ohio; United States Senator Selden P. Spencer, of Missouri; Congressman Martin B. Maden, of Illinois; Bishop G. W. Clinton, Bishop I. N. Ross, and Bishop W. D. Chappelle; President-Elect C. D. B. King, of Liberia; F. M. Hercules, of London; England; P.

Murphy, of Baltimore on Transportation Facilities; E. Kinkle Jones, of New York's Urban League, on Labor Conditions; A. E Malone, of St. Louis, on Business Progress; and John R.

AND OMAHA
And then Capernaum which are exalted to heaven shalt be thrust down to hell. Luke 10-15.
Out upon civilization steals the great octipus of Race Hatred.
The slimy treacherous arms are encircling the fairest and most promising of American cities.
The lines of demarkation which made North, South, East and West, have been erased, and the traditions f section, city and town in which men gloried, have been adroitly sapd by the monster, and left in aggregate a great pitable weakling, incapable of resistance, and dumb as the blood of innocents stain her garments.
The tragedy of Omaha, horrible in every detail awakens anew the fears and anxieties of every Race man and woman in the country, and suggests he question: Who next, where and or what? and warns to watchfulness est the thing come nigh unto us.
The tragedy of Omaha was not a race Riot. It was an outburst of harred more unreasonable than that of the Hun, and the attendant destruction was the natural consequence of the murderous distemper gripping the entire country.
It was a "Whiff from Hell Incarnate" and all the pent-up meanness in the hearts and lives of men, which could find vent pipe through nothing out the accusation of rape.
Let the law-abiding call such things the acts of "Hoodlums," if they choose; lay such happenings at the door of irresponsibles, and say, Christions, do not condone such crimes" if it cases conscience, but men are guilty who are makers and custodians of law, and in blood and tears must answer for their stewardship.
Omaha, Knoxville, Chicago, Washington, East St. Louis, and Houston all stand in their filth, naked before a just God, who knows the hearts of men, and will not turn a deaf ear to the cry of the oppressed.

HOW TUBERCULOUS SOLDIERS MAY RECEIVE TRAINING
Conditions Under Which Soldiers Suffering With Tuberculosis are Eligible for Training
Washington, Sept. 22.—Discharged soldiers suffering with tuberculosis are placed in training by the Federal Board for Vocational Education under the same conditions that men with other handicaps are; some with support during training, others without support, and a few while they are still in the army hospitals. The establishment of the medical status of the tuberculous soldier is a consideration in his eligibility for training. The medical officer must pronounce his case apparently cured, arrested, or apparently so, before he is recommended for training. Quiescent cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, having had negative sputum for a period of at least two months, must be specially recommended by the district medical officer and during the course must remain under expert medical supervision.
If the soldier has still an active form of the disease and is receiving hospital treatment, he may be given training only upon the endorsement of the hospital authorities, who shall approve the nature of the course provided. Correspondence courses along the lines of their previous experiences are frequently desired by hospital patients. Men whose cases are active, but who refuse to take hospital treatment are considered by the Board as ineligible for training at the time but their cases will be considered when they are physically able to undertake the work.
WILERFORCE HAS PROMISING FUTURE
COLUMBUS, Sept. 29.—That Wil- force university, Xenia, has the foundation to become one of the largest institutions of Negro learning in the country was the declaration made today by State Senator Robert J. P'Brien, chairman of legislative committee, which is trying to entangle differences among the directorate of the institution.
The committee will resume its investigation tomorrow at Xenia. Friction between directors appointed by the state and those appointed locally has been retarding work in the institution for some time, it is said.

Oldest Customer in Nation.
Columbus, O.—The oldest dry goods customer in Ohio, and likely the oldest customer of any store in this country, was claimed by E. M. Thirkield at the Ohio Retail Dry Goods association convention. He said he was connected with the department store of E. B. Thirkield & Sons company at Franklin, and that James McLean, one hundred and four years old, made his first purchase in that store March 10, 1834, 85 years ago, and that he is still a good customer.

Support the business enterprises conducted by members of the race.
RACE RIOTS
The race riots and other disturbances that are occurring ever and anon throughout the country should not cause hysterical alarm, but should be warnings to members of the race to prepare themselves by education and industrial training for the inevitable clash between the races that will take place within the next few years unless the dominant race changes its attitude towards the Negro and treat him as a man. The Negro is ascending and no power on earth, save himself, can keep him down. With an abiding trust in God and faith in ourselves let us strike cut for all the rights, privileges and opportunities that men are entitled to. Education is the rod that will break the head of the arrogant South.
"We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed but not in despair; persecuted but not forsaken; cast down but not destroyed."
MOTHER !
Mother and Love! the two sweetest words in the English language, and they are inseparable. Who can fathom a mother's love. We are thinking today of mother. A mother who was born in the dark days of slavery. Whose early girlhood was blighted by that curse, yet the hardships and obstacles of those cruel days could not destroy her soul nor the spirit for advancement, and she struggled on. Left, in early womanhood, a widow with three children, she decided to sacrifice her life to rear and educate these children. She did what she could, her utmost to accomplish her object. All honor and praise, and glory and peace to this mother who passed away one year ago today. We shall not forget thy teachings. May thy spirit hover over us as we struggle on to thee!
The following editorial from the Cincinnati Enquirer takes the right view of mob rule. The radicals and criminal class of whites use the Negro as a pretext to disregard law and order. This was shown at Knoxville, where the outlaws ransacked the jailer's apartments, stealing among other things the clothes of his baby. In attacking the mayor at Omaha the first act of the mob was to steal the mayor's valuable watch. The main object of the mob at Elaine, Ark., seemed to have been to compel Negro planters to work for white people. The cry of "defending womanhood" is indeed threadbare as the mob generally is composed of rapists anl crim-
inals. White women do not need the protection of such low savages. It is the colored women who need protection from white men who are illegitimate fathers of fifty thousand mali-tob babies every year.. The black sons of these white men will rise up and curse them!
But read carefully this splendid editorial:
KILL THE DRAGON!
Apostles of "direct action" besmirched the fair name of the good state of Nebraska Sunday, defiled and debauched moral and written law, and brought shame to the cheek of every lover of liberty. Not content with murdering, for it was murder, the alleged assailant of a woman, the ravening mob attempted, and all too nearly accomplished, the murder of the Mayor of Omaha, a gallant American, who risked his life for the preservation of law and order. Red-eyed, fleek-tongued, the hungry mob pursued its maniacal course and destroyed the courthouse, leaving a wake of cuin and death.
"Direct action" disciples wear many disguises. At heart they are all anarchists and whether they call themselves Bolshevists, Syndicalists or what not, they are all imbued with the one idea of making ours a Government of men and not of laws. Obedience, discipline and restraint are foreign and repugnant to their thoughts and law of any kind is obnoxious because it compels such things. The outbreak at Omaha when traced to its source will be found to have emanated from the tents of anarchy. The horror in the Nebraska metropolis is merely a symptomatic outburst revealing the extent of the growth of vicious anti-American, anti-law proaganda that is being spread like a virus over the whole nation.
If the great state of Nebraska doesn't execute the leaders of this mob we hope the Attorney-General of the United States takes up the case, and, bringing to his command the entire power of the United States Department of Justice, hounds the principals until they are cornered, convicted and executed. The Omaha mob was not so hungry for the assailant of the woman as it was to flout law and order, and to show its supreme scorn for both. Vomiting fire, blood and death, the dragon that exhibited itself at Omaha Sunday will become the scourge of the nation unless destroyed.
HEART TO HEART MASONIC MOVEMENT
All Masons who are not members of the local lodges are requested to meet at the A. M. E. Zion Church, Western avenue, Monday, October 6th.
J. D. MEADE, Pres.
J. B. PARSONS, Sec'y.
ZION BAPTIST CHURCH
Dr. J. J. Jackson of Bellefontaine, brought to us last Sunday two messages enriched by a life of experience spent mostly in the Master's service. Our prayers are for yet greater power and long usefulness in the spreading of the Gospel for Him.
Zion's congregation resumed something like its normal proportions last Sunday in numbers as well as in offerings and in interest shown. There in still hope that we shall come to a fuller understanding of what our Christian duties are, and of what glorious peace comes to us from unselfish services, and shall use to opportunities that God's grace affords.
Our pastor, Rev. T. J. Smith, will be with us Sunday. We make no forecast of what is to be expected of him. Come and hear for yourself.
Our prayer meetings are made up mostly of the same faithful members. Knowing that there is power in prayer. We wish to see a larger attendance and interest taken in the Wednesday night prayer meetings on the part of both the old and young of Zion.
And Sunday is October 5th. Everybody comes to Sunday school. Here is your chance to show young Zion that you are with her. Here is your chance to come out and line up with the working auxiliary of the church. The regulars will be there as usual of course, but the call is to the absentee and to the outsider that you come back from indifference, back from neglect, back from indolence, back from vacation, back to service.
And above all, let us come on time
and get the full measure of the hour.
The most notable growth and enthusiasm of our whole school during September was in the Men's Bible class. Why? And at that the average attendance for September was two hundred and three. Our goal is sixty-four new enrollments and average attendance of three hundred and we have six weeks in which to reach it. What are you going to do about it?
