NEW LINES SHOW MATERIAL RACE PROGRESS TWENTIETH YEAR NEW LINES MATER SUCCESS IN MANY FIELDS. Rising Young Architect Who Designed Masonic Temple at Raleigh. An example of what thorough preparation will do for those who are willing to qualify themselves for the higher duties of life along educational lines is found in the thrift and industry of G. A. Edwards of Raleigh, N. C. Mr. Edwards after graduating from the Agricultural and Mechanical college at Greensboro, N. C., spent three years at Cornell and one year at Chicago university, doing postgraduate work. His high averages in studies at these schools won for him the special prize. As instructor in natural sciences at Shaw university, where he was also superintendent of the men's industrial department, he displayed rare ability both as teacher and manager. Because of his ability to bring things to pass himself and start others on the road to success the state board of managers of the Institute For the Deaf and Dumb at Raleigh, which is maintained for the benefit of Afro-Americans, appointed Mr. Edwards to organize a mechanical department, which has proved a great blessing to the students. Professor Edwards is now devoting his time to architecture and is meeting with splendid success. He was the first Afro-American to design and superintend the construction of buildings for the American Baptist Home Mission society. The main building of Waters institute at Winton, N. C., which is conceded to be the prettiest Afro-American school structure in the state, was designed by Professor Edwards. He is now designing the new A. M. E. church at Raleigh. The old church was recently destroyed by fire. The new structure when completed will cost about $75,000. He has also been given a contract to design school buildings in Missouri that will cost $000,000. The new three story brick Masonic temple at Raleigh, the finest structure owned by Afro-American Masons in the state, was built by his design. His success is largely due to the fact that he makes a specialty of church and school architecture. Realizing that Afro-Americans must perfect commercial institutions if they are to contribute to the upward movement of this age, this young man is connected --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY AUGUST 28 1909 with many concerns in Raleigh that are giving Afro-Americans larger opportunities and is a director in the following corporations: Capital City Saving bank, Pioneer Mercantile and Investment company and Capital City Building and Loan association. GARNET REPUBLICAN CLUB. Annual Outing to Be Held at Golden City Park, Aug. 31. The H. H. Garnet Republican club, which claims to be the central organization of colored Republicans of Kings county, N. Y., has issued invitations to Sunday schools, secret and benevolent organizations and citizens generally to join the club in its annual outing, which will be held at Golden City park, Canarsie, N. Y., on Tuesday, Aug. 31. Admission to the park will be by tickets, which will be distributed free of charge to every organization, individual or family who will avail themselves of the opportunity of spending an afternoon or evening at one of the most attractive local summer resorts of Greater New York. The club is officered by James A. Ryerson, president; William F. Abbott, secretary, and John H. Dickerson, treasurer. HERE'S A CHANCE TO MAKE YOUR RACE TALK COUNT FOR SOMETHING. When a man fits himself to do any kind of work, and has to undergo the unusual difficulties which beset a negro in breaking into a trade monopolized by white workmen, he is deserving of credit. It therefore seems to us that all persons needing to have their hats renovated, owe it to their race pride and loyalty to patronize Brown, the Hatter, located at 718 Eighteenth street. He is not seeking to hold your patronage on anything else than the excellence of his service, but deserves at least a visit on his color. The Odd Fellows of the city are getting ready to make their trip to the biennial session of the grand lodge of this jurisdiction which meets this year in Butte, Mont. There will be four delegates from Rocky Mountain No. 2320 and one from Arapahoe Lodge. Mrs. Wm. Bushnell spent a few days in Cheyenne last week visiting her mother. Mrs. M. E.

In his annual address before the National Negro Business Men's league, at Louisville, Ky., Aug. 18, Dr. Booker T. Washington, after reviewing the material progress of the race, warned his auditors that in order to attain true success commercial ambition must be accompanied with righteous living. Dr. Washington said in part: We have at least 500 local Negro business leagues scattered throughout the country. When we began work there were a few drug stores owned and controlled by black people. Now we have nearly 200. A few years ago there were only about a half dozen Negro banks in the country; now there are forty-seven. Dry goods stores, grocery stores and industrial enterprises to the number of over 10,000 have sprung up in all parts of the country. A little more than forty years ago when the Negro was made free he had almost no acres of land. Now he has an acreage nearly as large as New England. Then he had almost no homes; now he has 400,000 homes. Then he had few farms; now he has 200,000 farms. Then ve to carry a hot division Labor Day and to worry about how have to eat.

Then he had no undertakers; now he has several thousand. When the American Negro was made free about 3 per cent could read and write; now 57 per cent can both read and write. Then he had few churches; now he has 26,000 churches. The greater part of this progress has taken place here in our southern states, right in the midst of the people who once owned our bodies. Here, let me add, this growth could not have taken place unless we had in each one of these southern communities not a few white men who have believed in us and stood by us and stimulated and encouraged us. In so far as the Negro race in America is concerned, if you ask me to state what in my opinion has been the most important event within recent years I would state that it has not been in the election of a good and just man as president of the United States, as important as that is, but it has been the fact that in one of the southern states, when the question was raised on one of the southern railroads as to whether the Negro fireman was to have a fair chance to earn his daily bread, white men, not from Massachusetts or New York, but white men who live in Georgia and Alabama, decided that the man with black skin for equal service should have equal pay with the man of white skin, decided, in a word, that the Negro should have without question a chance for all time in the southland to earn his daily bread. It remains, then, for us as a race to back up this decision, not by idle words, but by the daily service which we render in every community where the Negro resides. preached the funeral eld of Amos Hayes of street Tuesday.

WASHINGTON. Paymaster In U. S. Army. Remarkable Political Career of the Hon. John R. Lynch, Whom Lodge and Roosevelt Made Temporary Chairman of the Republican National Convention In 1884. "I trust that the motion made by the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Lodge) will be adopted and that we shall select as chairman of this convention that representative Republican, Mr. Lynch of Mississippi." Thus spoke Theodore Roosevelt on the floor of the Republican national convention in 1884, at which convention Roosevelt was a delegate from the state of New York. The vote was afterward taken, and John R. Lynch was elected temporary chairman of that great convention, then in session in Chicago. That honor was and still is the greatest honor ever conferred by the Republican party upon a man of Negro blood. That was twenty-five years ago. Lynch had, even at that time, a national reputation. He had been speaker of the Mississippi house of representatives and had also served in the national congress for three terms. However, he is not "Hon. Mr. Lynch" any longer, but "Major Lynch," paymaster in the army of the United States. He is in Washington after an absence of a few years, spending part of his leave there with his many friends. He has been in the Philippine Islands for the past two years as chief paymaster of the department of Visayas, with headquarters at Iloilo. The medical examiners, fearing that Major Lynch, who is now sixty-one years of age, could not stand the severe army riding test, have ordered him before the retiring board. His friends, who have seen him recently and who have been complimenting him upon his continued good health, are hoping that the major will be permitted to serve until he reaches the age limit, about two years hence. However the issue is settled, whenever Major Lynch is retired it will be with the pay of a retired army officer. Although in the army for eleven years, Major Lynch has not been absent on account of sickness for a single day. He has seen service in Cuba and the Philippines, and, though in the tropics for five years, he has maintained good health. He has always been a careful observer of the rules of health and attributes his present healthful condition to habits acquired in youth and practiced ever since. But the service in the tropics has had one noticeable effect upon the major. His hair and prominent mustache have grown white. But his step is quick, and his eye is as clear as ever before. He is full of his old time vigor, and his eloquence, like wine, has grown richer with age. Major Lynch's career in politics has been the most remarkable of all of his colored political contemporaries. He has been the confidant of presidents and president makers, the chief distributer of patronage for his state and a chief adviser concerning the distribution of patronage of other states, the first Negro auditor and the only THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. HON. JOHN R. LYNCH. Negro paymaster at present in the army. Washington is like home to the major. He made it his home while in congress, while president of a bank and while he was auditor for the navy. Washingtonians hope that when he retires from the army he will make that city his permanent home. TENTH CAVALRY'S BIG CATCH Brilliant Capture of the Blues a Fine Piece of Strategy. For the trained soldier the recent invasion of the red army against the blue in an effort to capture Boston has been a splendid vindication. Down a little hedge bordered lane in South Halifax, Mass., rode a solitary Tenth cavalryman on Aug. 18. As he approached a crossroad he edged his horse into the thicket and peered through. His hand went straight up in the air, and he hugged the thicket closer. Two more men came up behind. They, too, signaled, and suddenly far down the road a group of cavalrymen appeared and then disappeared. Ten minutes passed, in which the three troopers in the thicket merely hugged it closer. One who watched at the crossroads saw a bivouac of blue infantrymen fifty yards away. They had five red prisoners of the First battery, New York field artillery. An umpire who had just awarded them their capture had advised them to make a hurried getaway while they could, but they had tarried to break fast. All at once rifles loosened their fire from the hedge where the three dark troopers hid. Every blue man grabbed his rifle and worked his way to the crossroads corner. They saw a solid file of cavalrymen charging toward them, and with a yell they fired back. The file was three abreast and one horse deep. It drew the fire of every man of the sixty in the blue company, and just as each man was glorying in his "kill" a volley rang out only twenty yards away. It was from the left rear, and behind the line of carbine muzzles were the grinning faces of thirty colored troopers who had spent just that much time in getting into position on the blues. "Say, captain," said the colored sergeant in charge of the detachment to his principal prisoner. "I've got to trouble you for the certificate you got that you done had them battery boys captured. Ab" Business Man Of Rare Ability. Afro-American Theatrical Manager of National Repute Who Has Achieved Success by Hard Labor—Bohemian Fads Have No Place In the Life of Pat Chappelle. Very few Afro-Americans ever stop to consider the business experience in various forms and the executive ability which a manager of a traveling show must have. The Afro-American shows in the north with few exceptions are managed by white men, which in a peculiar way has its effect upon those of the race who are ambitious. Again, the people of color, as a rule, do not look at the Afro-American owner and manager of a traveling show as they do any other respectable and successful business man in their community, yet it is a fact that the Afro-American manager is a bunch of energy, system, executive ability and an important factor in making opportuni- JOHN H. PAT CHAPPELLE ties for clerical work for members of the race as well as other kinds of employment. The city of Jacksonville, Fla., has a citizen of ebony hue who is known all over the country as a successful business man and who is highly esteemed all over the state of Florida. Mr. Pat Chappelle is the owner and manager of "A Rabbit's Foot" comedy show. He has been in the business for years and is the only recognized national Afro-American owner and manager of a theatrical company in America. He has four first class Pullman cars, with all of the appointments necessary for home comforts, which are with the show outfit and are valued at over $25,000. He is the only Afro-American member of the Lawyers' association and Billposters' and Circus association. Mr. Chappelle is a man possessing commercial characteristics and is not of the kind that debauches his life and expends his earnings on bohemian fads and fancies, but he works zealously. His twenty-five modern structures in the various sections, both business and residential, of the city of Jacksonville and a $7,000 apartment building now in course of erection, as well as a large volume of business through the Afro-American bank of his native city, are encourag- PAGE. 10. ing signs of race progress.

Mr. Chappelle has traversed the country a number of times, and his success is due to hard work and true ambition. NAMED FOR ABRAHAM LINCOLN Association to Perpetuate the Memory of the Great Emancipator. The Lincoln Emancipation association of Brooklyn was founded by Mr. William C. Henry about two years ago for the purpose of celebrating annually Jan. 1 as emancipation day. The first observance of the day was held on Jan. 1, 1907, and was directed principally by the Society of the Sons of North Carolina and the Society of the Sons of Virginia. A year ago a permanent organization was perfected, and the association was incorporated under the laws of the state of New York. The first annual afternoon and evening outing of the society was held on Aug. 19 at the Alhambra pavilion, Bergen Beach, and was a grand success. W. C. Henry is president, with Messrs. John H. Dickerson and J. B. Clayton secretary and treasurer respectively. Annual Sunday School Rally. The Sunday school of the Second Baptist church, Long Branch, N. J., held its annual financial rally a few Sundays ago and realized a snug sum for the work of the various departments of the school. The literary program was very interesting, especially the part taken by the Sunshine chorus under the direction of Miss Mamie Jarvis. Superintendent Frisby Laws, Rev. Mr. Smallwood, the pastor, and Assistant Superintendent Charles Faulcon contributed their quota to the exercises. The principal address was made by N. B. Dodson, president of the New England Baptist Sunday school convention. Mr. Dodson's subject was "The Importance of Early Christian Training." Legislated Out of Existence. We had hoped that after the settlement of the railroad strike in Georgia the race might be spared from further outrage and intimidation and be permitted once more to pursue the even tenor of its way. But not so. The signature of Governor Brown to the act passed by the legislature prohibiting the use by Afro-American secret societies of the insignias, ritualistic work, signs and grips of similar organizations composed of white people strikes us like a thunderbolt out of a cloudless sky, and the end is not yet. Elks and Knights of Pythias are dethroned, and the Masons and Odd Fellows must change their badges, grips and rituals. New York Circle of Hamptonians. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

Dayton, Ohio, August, 1909.—(Spe- cial.)—The Grand Trustees of the In- ternational Liberty Union, which has its home office in this city, have de- cided to call a convention of the mem- bership of the order to meet in No- vember, 1910. This convention will meet in some city of the South, probably one of the larger cities where the I. L. U. mem- bership is strong and where the rail- road connections are good, The city is to be selected later, at which time further announcement will be made The International Liberty Union is most generally known as the I. L. U. Grand Lodge. It is seven and one- half years old and up to this writing has issued over 53,000 memberships. Its growth has been wonderful. Thou- sands and thousands of homes of col- ored people have been brightened and made happy since the advent of this great International Order, . The [. L. U. is not a regular insur- ance order. In fact, there is no other society like this one. [t is a protective and cooperative secret fraternal so- be Wage-earners and crop-raisers are admitted to membership. Men and women alike are accepted. There is no medical examination. Its jurisdic tion is the whole world. While the order is not a regular in- ‘surance order, yet it has many bene | fits, and the charitable benefits are one of the big things which the order does for its members, though it talks very little about it. Like the Masons and other similar societies, the order does not boast of what it does for its dis- tressed members. But it helps them just the same when they need help most and ina very substantial way. The cooperative plan of tis order is one of its big features. Many crop- raisers are talking of buying all their supplies and marketing their crops through this order. The convention to be held next year will be the third one since the order’s organization. Preparations are already being made and a big time is already assured, We have had correspondence with the founder and grand president of this order. He tells us that any of our readers who want information about his order should write him at once, He will gladly answer all ques- tions and send full information and printed circulars explaining the so- clety and what it does for its mem- bers. Those who have not investi- gated it will be wonderfully surprised and we urge them to look into it for their own benefit.

The following persons joined: Mr. Burrell, Mrs. Bettie Redd, Miss Katie Tollison, Miss Emma Erickson and Mrs. Lottie B. Martin. The collections were above the average. The stewards are keeping up nicely with the pastor's salary. "Box and Cox," rendered by Messrs. Joshua Rice, Cornelius Rice and Miss Lelia Rice last Thursday evening, was highly complimented by those who were privileged to hear these talented young people. The Misses Anderson and Hill rendered commendable musical selections. Mrs. Mary G. Clinkscale served refreshments to the hungry and thirsty ones. Mrs. Snowden rendered one of Paul Lawrence Dunbar's comical poems, to the delight of all. The captains are rounding up their reports for Sunday afternoon. This will be the occasion of the $800 rally. The Rev. W. C. Williams, the matchless pulpit orator, will preach the sermon. Come out and hear this noble divine. Services will begin promptly at 3 o'clock. The choir will render special music for the occasion. The Afro-American Ministers' Union will be there in a body. Master Thomas W. Wallace will take the collection for the Pastor's Club and the other clubs, assisted by the various ministers of the city. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

ELKS FAILED TO UNITE Mr. Williams Praises Detroit Citizens Who Treated Delegates Royally. Benjamin Williams, exalted ruler of Brooklyn lodge, No. 32, Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, who has just returned from Detroit, Mich., where he attended the annual convention of the order, which was recently held in that place, speaking of the proceedings of the convention, said: "The convention was one of the finest ever held. The citizens of Detroit treated the delegates royally. The welcoming address was made by the mayor of the city, who was loud in his praise of the colored citizens of that city, who, he declared, were second to none in the country. The one object for which we had hoped and worked failed-viz, the consolidation of the two factions, the Howard and the Adkins. It was demonstrated that the latter had gained both financially and numerically since the last convention, while the former had not. The convention was attended daily by thousands, both white and colored. The membership consists of a larger percentage of professional men than any other organization among colored people." To Perpetuate Dr. Dixon's Memory. A committee of 100 women is being organized in Brooklyn by Mrs. G. H. Fayerweather for the purpose of erecting a dormitory or hall for the girls of the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan asylum at St. James. N. Y., where the new industrial home of the institution is located. The new building will be named Dixon hall, in memory of the late Rev. William T. Dixon, D. D., who was the vice president and a zealous worker for the institution. Decision In Opposition to Itself. Equal pay for both races was a part of the final decision in the settlement of the recent firemen's strike on the Georgia railroad. Very good. But what is a man profited if he is allowed the same pay as other men for the same kind of skilled labor and is not given the opportunity to do such work? "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." Idlers Should Be Got Rid Of. The man who skillfully avoids employment and prefers to live by his wits is a menace to any people, and the sooner a community is rid of such the better it is for all. That class among the Negro is causing more hardship for the whole race than any other.-Spokane Citizen. Uncle Sam's Popular Cavalrymen. It is refreshing to note the kindly manner in which the good people of the New England states are receiving the Tenth United States cavalry in its various maneuvers from town to town. Officers of high rank as well as their subordinates have not been slow in showing due courtesy to these heroic warriors at any stage of their triumphant march since they arrived from the Philippine Islands. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD. CONNECTIONAL COUNCIL. Distinguished Churchmen and Educators Review Work of Church. The annual meeting of the connectional council of the A. M. E. Zion church, which was recently held at "Mother" Zion church, New York, brought together one of the most distinguished assemblages of religious workers which New York has had for some time. The bishops who were in attendance were: Dr. J. W. Wood of Fayetteville, N. C.; Dr. C. R. Harris of Salisbury, N. C.; Dr. G. W. Clinton of Charlotte, N. C.; Dr. J. W. Smith of Washington; Rev. Alexander Walters of New York; Dr. Caldwell of Philadelphia, Dr. Blackwell of Philadelphia and Dr. A. J. Warner of Charlotte, N. C. The educational institutions represented were: Livingston college, Salisbury, N. C.; Greenville college, Greenville, Tenn.; Atkinson college, Madisonville, Ky.; Clinton institute, Rock Hill, S. C.; Lancaster Normal and Industrial school, Lancaster, S. C.; Lomax-Hannon school, Greenville, Ala.; Edenton High and Industrial school, Edenton, N. C.; Eastern Carolina Normal, Newbern, N. C.; Dinwiddle Agricultural and Industrial school, Dinwiddle, Va.; Walters institute, Warren, Ark., and Zion institute, Mobile, Ala. Besides these institutions, the church maintains, according to reports read, a mission workers' school in Cape Coast, East Africa, where more than 300 pupils were enrolled last year. In all its schools the church had last year almost half a million pupils. Bishop Clinton, who presided at the business sessions of the council, introduced Acting Mayor McGowan, who reviewed the exploits of the Tenth cavalry, the famous regiment of Negro regulars, and told of their recent cordial reception by New Yorkers. "I well remember the time," continued Mr. McGowan, "when religious prejudice was much stronger than the race prejudice of today, but it has almost entirely died out, and it is only a question of time when race feeling similarly will disappear."

He took hold of the work with a vim and determination to finish it within a year, The church was completed dur- ing the second year of his pastorate. It is a modern brick edifice and the property is valued at $10,000. He served here three years very success- fully, having found only 98 members on the roll, He left the church with 4 membership of 165 and the work in a prosperous condition. From here he was sent to Seattle, Washington, to organize a church. This was done through many difficulties. As a result of his labors he left a church in splen- did condition and came to Denver. His work here speaks for itself. There will be a rally Sunday afternoon to pay on the $2,000 mortgage which is due in January, 1910.

Upward Struggle of a Virginia Public School Teacher Who Left the Profession For Business Venture In Boston, Where She Is Meeting With Flat. tering Success. No more encouraging sign of the ma- terial progress of the race can be found than the great number of wom- en who are coming to the front in the business life of the race. It is refreshing to read of the cour- age, foresight and perseverance ex- hibited by many of our leading busi- hess women in building large business concerns that are a credit to us as a race. From teaching school in Virginia to conducting one of the largest huir cut- ting and wigmaking establishments in Boston is the unique record of Mme. L. ©. Parrish. She was born in Lynchburg, Va., aud educated in the public schools of that city before the school authorities of Virginia entered upon the new experiment of reducing the curriculum in the high schools and colleges for Afro-Americans. Mme. Parrish went to Bosten about twelve years ago, where her brothers were already established in business. She took a course in hair cutting and scalp treatment and then went into business. Early in her business ca- reer she saw that a profitable trade could be established if she could get pure human hair suitable for her own people. Regardless of the fact that the best of the hair business, like the tailoring business in Boston, was in the bands of men of the race, it was almost im- ere) ony eae ss my iG. J; * ee ‘ 3 ay Aad a eh j MME. L. ©, PARRISH, possible for her to get such material as was demanded. The trade being largely white. only whites were ca- tered to. Mme. Parrish believed that an equal- ly large business could be built among her people if she could get just what they wanted. She returned to school aud took a course in hair weaving aud wigmaking. While in school she suc: THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. ceeded ip finding an importer who would supply ber with what she want- ed in the line of hair goods. Adding wigmaking and hair weaving to her business, she set about intro- ducing her goods to the public. She is a great believer in the valiie of news- papers conducted by members of the race. Mrs. Parrish employs a great number of women and girls of her own race and enjoys a large and constant- ly growing business in nearly every state in the Union. AGAINST EQUAL RIGHTS. Balfour Says It Would Threaten Whole Fabric of Civilization. The house of commons has passed the South African constitution bill. In the debate on its passage ex- Premier Balfour said that in dealing with a constitution for the federation of South African colonies (Transvaal, Cape Colony, Orange River State and Natal) the house was discussing one of the most important events in the history of the British empire. “The bill,” he declared, “is a most wonderful issue from all the contro- versies, battles. bloodshed and diffi- culties to peace, and I believe the world cannot show anything like it. The race problem is but a fractional part of the great questions parliament is now deciding. I deny that it is intended to give the colored races equality with Europeans. As far as the government, society and the higher forms of civilization are concerned, it would be impossible to give equal rights to the colored races without threatening the whole fabric of civi- lization. In my opinion, the best hope for the solution of this great problem is to place absolute and implicit confi- dence in the representative institu- tions the South Africans now are creating and for the home government not to meddle with it.” Tuberculosis Leagues Formed. The plan to organize anti-tubercu- losis leagues among Afro-Americans in the various states, proposed recently by the United States public health and marine hospital service. has met with a quick response. Already five state organizations have been formed—viz, fu Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Caroline aud Virginia. Phyllis Wheatley Club Incorporated. The Phyllis Wheatley club, of which Mrs. Martha Robinson is president. bas been incorporated under the laws of New York. The object of the club is to provide « place for the many young wonien of the race who come to New York from the south and other sections of the country, where they tmay prepare themselves for better paying positions along the lines of domestic work aud at the same time enjoy the privileges of home comforts. The club Is at 172 West One iYundred and Thirty-third street London Colony of Afro-Americans.

We have a $4,000 ELEPHANT on our hands and we hope to dispose of as great a part of him as possible on the second Sunday. The sale will be held on the above date and any amount ranging from $1.00 upwards may be purchased by our friends and members. On that date Zion expects EVERY MEMBER TO DO HIS DUTY. Our motto and watchword is "LOYALTY." All together for a single upward, onward movement. The pastor is greatly pleased at the remarkable interest and enthusiasm which is growing among the members for the rally. The pastor will entertain the thirty clubs at the close of the struggle. The club making the best report will be the guests of honor. A good congregation heard the pastor's morning sermon on prayer. At its close four persons were added to the church. The superintendent and teachers are forming plans to increase the attendance at Sunday School. Our aim is a regular attendance of 200. Rev. Douglass preached an excellent sermon Sunday evening. The threatening weather told on the attendance. The Missionary Circle rendered a special program at its Thursday's meeting. A goodly number was present. Pastor's morning subject Sunday will be "The Test of the Cross Bearer." Evening, "Two Great Classes of Sinners." All are welcome. Denver Locals Miss Zida Fowler has gone to Springfield, Ohio, to be at the bedside of her sick sister. Eugene, Goens, a brother of Oran, and his wife, have come to the city to make his permanent home. Rev. J. C. C. Owens has returned from the great Northwest. He was with Bishop Grant and in attendance upon the session of the Puget Sound Conference which met at Helena, Mont. The Conference closed Sunday night after reporting a year's work, the best in its history.

WARD PREACHES STRONG SERMON SUNDAY NIGHT ANNUAL CONFERENCE. The Rev. W. C. Williams will preach the rally sermon Sunday afternoon at Scott's Chapel. Rev. Williams has the Although the weather threatened and it did rain some on the outside, yet at the same time Rev. Ward was on the inside raining spiritual blessings upon his congregation. His subject, "Folly of Secret Worship," was handled in a scholarly and masterful manner, bringing out and emphasizing the most important phases of the subject. He strongly showed how God had planned his way of salvation by means of public expression; to do otherwise was to be disobedient and dwarfed from the lack of contact of the class and prayer meetings; was to develop a moral coward in attempting the bushwhacking tactics. "God loves for his soldiers to fight in the open" said the pastor, as he warmed up to his subject. After drawing valuable lessons from the public discipleship of Paul and Peter, he concluded by showing what each individual owed to himself, to others and to God in the matter of his influence, his personal activity for the Master and, quoting, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto these, the least of My brethren, ye have done it unto me," "He that is not for me is against Me, and he that gathereth not into us scattereth abroad," was the climax of his appeal. The rewards of joy were shown. The dollar money envelopes are not coming up as lively as times before other annual conferences, which causes the pastor much worry. Rev. Ward labored under the impairment of health Sunday night, the hay fever getting the better of him. All persons holding tickets for the U. B. F. and S. M.
