The Negroes of the Southwest are a progressive people, who seem to have just enough of the white man's tenacity to grasp prosperity, open business enterprises and save money. But best of all, the people of Phoenix have enough of the spirit of God to erect in this small community of 1,000 Negroes three magnificent churches for worship, all of which are prospering The African Methodist Episcopal church has planted itself with deep roots all over this wide world wherever our people live, and wherever it enters you find them drawing the crowds for God and humanity, because of the superior qualities of her ministers, and the earnestness and zeal which they put forth. The conception most people from the South, East and North have of this Southwest country is very crude. coath illiterate pieces of humanity whose country is inhabited with nothing but outlaws and cowboys who ride into churches, stores and saloons horseback or tease the tenderfoot by shooting him a tune to dance by. But my dear readers, when God and His people enter a country, it means civilization, cultivation and progress. We have here with us some of the most spiritual and intellectual of the land and are in need for you to give us a chance to prove to you, who have never had the pleasure of visiting and coming in direct contact with us, that the Southwest is creeping upon you and if you don't awaken, we will win in this great spiritual and intellectual race. The intellectual and broad-minded people of the Southwest are placing before the next general conference which meets in Kansas City next May, as editor of the Western Christian Recorder, one of the grandest and best equipped this western country affords. We know that no other section of the church can place before the next general conference a better man than our candidate, Dr. H. Franklin Bray. In placing him before you for your suffrage we desire that you know that in every way he is qualified for the position. His college and seminary training, coupled with his actual experience in newspaper work, give him a foundation upon which he can build up a paper of which the entire connection will be proud. Our candidate is an ambitious and earnest candidate is an ambitious and hard man, full of good business sense and literary ability. Rev. Bray was at one time the youngest presiding elder in the entire connection and the youngest ministerial delegate to the general conference in Chicago in 1904. He has dedicated his life and service to the development of the church in the West. In this city he has built a modern church and parsonage valued at fifteen thousand dollars and has placed African Methodism thereby in the forefront of all Negro churches in the Southwest. He has made Phoenix what it is for the Negro today. By his exemplary life he has won for himself leadership of his race in this part of the country and demands and carries the respect of not only his race but the leading and intellectual white people of this community. Rev. Bray has succeeded in his every undertaking because of his superior ability to manage. We plead for a chance to place before you one of the most God-fearing, consecrated and earnest men this country affords. Rev. H. Franklin Bray of Phoenix, Arizona. Make him the editor and manager of the Western Christian Recorder and the church will prosper in the West as never before. Give him a chance and he will make good. Yours for the church.

HERO OF THE REVOLUTION. Robert Shurtliff Was In Reality Deborah Gannett as Soldier. BY JOHN EDWARD BRUCE. It may not be generally known, yet it is a historical fact, that Robert Shurtliff, who served in the Revolution as a soldier and rendered distinguished service to the cause, was a woman whose name was Deborah Gannett. So it would seem that Captain Molly Pitcher is not the only heroine of the Revolution. The Negro race can claim at least one. The evidence of the racial identity of Robert Shurtliff, alias Deborah Gannett, is thus attested in an extract from the resolves of the general court of Massachusetts during the session of 1791: Resolved, on the petition of Deborah Gannett granting her £34 for services in the Continental army Jan 25, 1822, on the petition of Deborah Gannett granting the compensation for services performed in the late army of the United States. the late army of the United States. Whereas, it appears to this court that the said Deborah exhibited under the name of Robert Shurtill in Captain Webb's company in the Fourth Massachusetts regiment on May 20, 1782, and did actually perform the duty of a soldier in the late army of the United States to the 23d day of October, 1782, for which she has received no compensation; and, Whereas, it further appears that the said Deborah exhibited an extraordinary instance of female heroism by discharging the duties of a faithful, gallant soldier and at the same time preserving the virtue and chastity of her sex unsuspected and unblemished and was discharged from the service with a fair and honorable character; therefore, that the treasurer of this commonwealth is directed to issue his note to the said Deborah for the sum of £34, bearing interest from Oct. 23, 1782—From Nell's Colored Patriots of the Revolution Had Deborah Gannett, alias Robert Shurtliff, been a white woman no such action would have been taken by the general court of Massachusetts to compensate her for gallant services rendered in behalf of her country; but, being instead a slave, it was necessary for the court to take this action both because of the exceptional character of the claim and of the fact that the claimant was of the Negro race and a slave who had helped to win victories for the United States army in its struggle against Great Britain by performing many deeds of hereros as a soldier which the court could not fail to recognize. Her sex and her color combined doubtless induced the court more than anything else to put itself on record in favor of a pension of £34. Despite her environments she was a chaste woman and a good soldier. Does not this speak well for Negro womanhood at that early period? There were some Deborah Gannetts in the late war of the rebellion. They all did not shoulder muskets, but they played no unimportant part in the great drama which culminated in the birth of a great nation. And there may yet be living Yankee soldiers who can testify to the loyalty, courage and fidelity of the black woman of the south to the cause of the Union. SOUTH AFRICAN NATIVES TOO SHREWD FOR ENGLISH. Leaders of Tribes Resent Charge of Disloyalty—Peregrino Lauded. Every little while the English in South Africa have a scare thrown into them by the disquieting rumors of uprising by powerful native tribes who live among them. That the English are afraid of these natives and still more afraid of the American and West Indian Negroes who go to South Africa to live and do business is evidenced by their antagonism to these classes. The American Negro especially tabooed by these English because he preaches too much of freedom and independence to their natives. So that there is now an unwritten law in South Africa against giving the freedom of the country to American Negro clergymen and laymen who go there with the idea of enlightening the natives or for business purposes. They are not wanted by the whites and are not welcomed. A corresponding member of the Negro Society For Historical Research now at Mateeking, South Africa, writes the society that a very large meeting was held in thestadt, in that city, recently, which was presided over by Chief Lekke, and that nearly every chief and hedsman of the Bavalong tribe was present, as well as nearly all of the available male population. Speeches were made by the chiefs present, among them Lekoko, Joshua and Silas Molena, condemning as false and mischievous certain charges of disloyalty to the English laid against the natives. Every speaker paid a glowing tribute to F. Z. S. Peregrino, representative of King Lewamka, and thanked him for his services on behalf of the Bavalongs with the government during the past nine years. Verily "the guilty fee when no man pursueth." Hensen to Address Research Society. Matthew A. Hensen, who accompanied Peaty on his hazardous trip to the north pole, is to talk to the Negro Society For Historical Research in Yankers, N. Y. The latter part of January about his travels and experiences in the arctic regions. Mr Hensen's knowledge of the arctic regions. and their language and his general usefulness are the chief reasons why he was selected by Peary to accompany him on this trip. A treat, therefore is in store for the Historical society. Hon. Edmond Heraux Returns to Haiti. The Hon.

CELEBRATION IN HONOR OF WENDELL PHILLIPS. Boston Citizens Plan Three Great Meetings For Wednesday, Nov. 29. Boston.—The National Independent Political league, with the co-operation of the New England Suffrage league and a citizens' auxiliary committee of 400, has planned an all day meeting for Wednesday, Nov. 29, in Faneuil hall for celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of Wendell Phillips. The central committee is headed by Mr. E. T. Morris, with W. Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, as secretary. The citizens' committee has done splendid work under the leadership of Mr. T. P. Taylor. Mrs. M Cravath Simpson, the widely known clubwoman and anti-lynching agitator, will predeat at the morning session. Mr. W M Trotter will preside at the afternoon session, and at the evening session President M. J. Jordan of the Boston branch of the United Irish League of America will officiate. The Hon. A. H. Grimke will be the orator for the occasion. Among the other speakers are Mr. Frank Sanborn, the abolitionist; Governor Foss, Mayor Fitzgerald, Rev. F. H. Rowley, T. P. Taylor, J. M. Hallowell, Miss Eliza Gardner, Mrs. M. C. Simpson, Mrs. L. C. Parrish, William M. Trotter and Judge M. J. Murray. An important feature of the evening session, aside from the speeches by the many notables, will be the reading of an address from Mr. John Redmond, the great advocate for Irish home rule. During the day pilgrimages will be made to Phillips' grave and to places of public interest which he often visited during his residence in Boston. There will be an honorary committee composed of persons who knew and also heard the great abolitionist speak at some of the great anti-slavery meetings held in Boston. GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLO.

DENVER NEWS COLUMNS. The Bon Vivants Club made merry Thursday evening at Dania hall in the annual banquet to the ladies. The table was beautifully decorated and arranged in the center of the hall like the letter T. Above it was festooned decorations in the colors of the club with light effects from an illuminated full moon, designed a la Bonivant, with another illumination in honor of the ladies, the Vence Throis, represented by a quarter moon. The service was such as has made the annual dinners of the club famous. The guests present were Mr. and Mrs. Ratley, Mr. and Mrs. Stell, Mr. and Mrs. C. Holmes, Mr. and Mrs. Skillern, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Contee, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Russ, Dr. and Mrs. McClain, Mr. and Mrs. Craig, Mesdames Dempsey, John Short, Victor Walker, S.

Mrs. Emma Anderson and K. Robinson are newlyweds, the ceremony having taken place Jan. 7. They have the congratulations of many friends DENVER PERSONAL MENTION BAND ENTERTAINS The band of the Ninth Cavalry regiment has come, and has been heard and conquered. East Turner hall on Wednesday night was well filled despite the unexpected snow flurries which kept hundreds away. At 8:30, with precision and promptness which bespoke their military training, Director Wade Hammond opened his program and until 10 o'clock sent the wild echoes flying with brilliant salvos of gorgeous music and soothed the gentler zephyrys with melody such as no band has surpassed in this city. There were many real music lovers, connoisseurs of music, in the audience whose praise is unstinted. They played classical music such as passages from II Trovatore, Traumereil and the like and then added a measure of well known harmonies and popular music. After the concert the floor was cleared for dancing and until 2 o'clock the hall undulated with harmony while the dancers were wafted about on the wings of the Muses. Denver accclaims this one event the greatest of its kind and not a regret except that it is over.' All those who were not present but have heard of it though those that attended, will feel keen disappointment that they have missed this wonderful evening of music. While at this time there is no intimation that such will be, yet it is evident that should the band ever return to Denver the hall will easily be crowded with twice Wednesday night's audience.

A reader of this paper requests that explanation be made of the article which appeared on the first page of last week's paper, to the end that persons reading it shall not construe the conditions which it represented to be existing in Cape Colony, South Africa, to be those which exist generally. Cape Colony is under British rule and is fully 3,000 miles from Liberia. The conditions are not the same in both places, and it does not accurately represent Liberia to say what is true of Cape Colony. Mrs. J. W.

FIVE CENTS A COPY NONAL MENTION Personal Mention on Pages Two, and Five RECEPTION TO PASTOR The program as rendered at Central Church on Wednesday night welcoming the new pastor, Rev. A. D. Williams, was heard by a large concourse of members and friends of the church. The speakers were at their best and the response by Rev. Williams was striking. Dr. Huff acted as master of ceremonies. He was happy in his remarks giving the occasion the joyous turn which becomes such events. On last Sunday the congregation really welcomed the pastor when it heard him deliver two addresses, one morning and one evening, both of which were listened to with rapt attention by large congregations. Rev.-Williams is a man ripe in years and experience. His sermons have an individuality, which shows him to be a wide reader and a student of human nature. He is graceful in gesture and fluent in language. He speaks without manuscript and holds his audience easily. The auspicious beginning which he made of his pastorate on Sunday and the warm reception given him Wednesday augur for him a successful ministry at Central. One of the addresses delivered at the reception was that of Lawyer W. B. Townsend who said in part: Master of Ceremonies, Ladies and Gentlemen, and Rev. Williams, Pastor Central Baptist Church, Denver. You have been fittingly welcomed to our city by representatives of the several churches; you have been fittingly welcomed on behalf of the members of the church; you have been cordially welcomed by the Sunday school, an auxiliary of the church; and I now welcome you on behalf of the laymen or citizen contingent of this church, which calls you to preside over its welfare. On behalf of the citizens I welcome you in our midst and to your new field of labor in a new and different state. You come to us from the sunny South land, where the magnolia, grandiflora, like the white stars, glow in a firmament of green; where crystal lakes dot the green sward, and the sofest summer breezes dimple the wavelips into kisses from the lilies on the shore; where the air is resonant with the warble melody of thousands of sweet-voiced birds and redolent of the perfume of many flowers; whence to Colorado, when in winter you are greeted by the snow-capped peaks of the mountains; when the shoulders of the mountains are wrapped in the garments of ice, and in summer when the gentle rays of the sun impinge the skeleton ribs of the desert. This is but a faint description of the home whence you came, and the one to which you have come. You will find here a different state to that which has been often pictured to you at long distance. It is true that we live in what is called in the parlance of the day, "the wild and wooly West," but you'll find no material difference in the people as they all migrated from the South and East. You'll note that the Indians and buffaloes have been driven back, back to the confines of the wilds of other sections, and that the proverbial cowboys have been subdued by the refining influences of society and law; that our once barren plains have been converted into fertile and productive fields; that civilization and religion have taken up their abode in our midst, and the school house supplants the dance hall, while the many church spires point majestically towards the heavens in every community, where once sin and crime reigned supreme. In this state, every church of whatever denomination finds a hearty welcome; while they may differ in Continued on page five.

Se eee aa eae: Eaward Smyth Jones, a native of Mississippi, bids fair to rival Paul Laurence Dunbar as a writer of verse. Mr. Jones has long cultivated the muse and gained much public notice a year or so ago when he was arrested as a yagrant while trying to enter Harvard university. “The Ode to Ethiopia” is a historical epic and is regarded as being responsible for his being releas- ed from the jail at Cambridge, Mass., where he was confined after being ar- rested at Harvard. Even Judge Ar- thur P. Stone, who dismissed the charge of vagrancy against him, said, “Gentlemen, I do not wish to be judge, but this is better poetry than I find in the current magazines.” The Boston American called this poem “his passport to freedom,” while the Boston Globe said of him and his “Ode to Ethiopia.” “One of those gen- iuses who, like Paul Laurence Dunbar and Alexander Dumas, occasionally comes forth to proclaim the intellectual equality of the Negro race.” Mr. Jones is the author of a book of poems called “The Sylvan Cabin,” with an introduction by W. Stanley Braith- waite, the writer. The “Ode to Ethio- Pe ~" i , pia” is a classic and is not written in the dialect which characterizes most poems on the Negro. It gives a reca- pitulation of the deeds of the race in all ages. It begins: ‘Thou sovereign queen of Afric’s sunny OS strands, I smite my lyre to sing thy praise unsung In strains far sweeter than gerapla bands Alay deep in my bosom’s core Is sprung. Fair queen, although my years as yet Be old, Where odes and fiery epics long have hung, Live centiries in my immiortal soul And strike sweet Lydian measures on my harp of gold! This ode consists of nineteen Spen- cerian stanzas, and into it the author pours his soul. A perusal of it thrills one with pride for his race and ani- mates his soul to put forth greater ef- forts. He pays the following beautiful tribute to the virtue and charms of women: : T call thee angel of this earth, For angel true thou art In noble deeds and sterling worth "And sympathetle heart 1, therefore, seck none from afar For what they might have been, But sing the praise of those which are, That dwell on earth with men. This young versifler of the higher Ife of the race Is pald the following ‘tribute by William Stanley Braith- waite in the introduction to “The Syl- -yan Cabin:" “Lo this I can only add that, good as these are, they give us “hope for better from one who ought certalnly to go on and upward.” The Washington Star says: “Though a rep- “resentative of the race which has giv- “en Paul Laurence Dunbar to the world, “he strikes an even higher note than “that lamented pioneer in the field of “Afro-American poetry. ‘There 1s_no suggestion of the ‘plantation’ in these verses, which are unidentifiable as the output of one born in Mississippi.” HOWARD ORPHAN ASYLUM. Institution Which Cares For Many ‘Children Males Procrasa. The Howard Colored Orphan asy- lum, now located in its new home in Kings Park, New York, has had a most successful year. It has cared for 248 children, representing thirty-two states In the Union, Besides Superin- tendent and Mrs. James H.

The Christian Recorder Selects David and Joseph as Examples. The world owes much of its development to emergency men—men who fill the breach in times of danger or calamity. These men, with brave hearts and true courage, are the ones who often save an army or a state, says the Christian Recorder. Often these men who come to the front are unknown and would have been unheard of had no emergency arisen. Had things gone on smoothly the places of honor would have gone to the men of age, of long standing and experience. But when emergencies come and sons, nephews and cousins falter because they fear failure, with consequent disaster to their reputations, or because of other considerations fail to shoulder the burden, then it is that the emergency man comes forth. David was an emergency man. When the army of the Philistines shouted defiance at the hosts of Israel and the mighty Goliath mocked at Israel's God, where were Israel's great men? Where were the sons and nephews of King Saul and his great men? Where were the experienced generals, who had won victories on many battlefields? Why did they falter? Was it because they feared for their reputations? Was it because they feared for their families? Was it because they were cowards? Why was there none to fight Gollath? Yes, there was one. God raised up an emergency man. He was David. But who was David? A mere boy, an untrained warrior, with no reputation, no family, no responsibilities, and he had no laurels. David was a novice. But David conquered Gollath. This mere slip of a boy, unknown, untrained, with no noble associations, conquered Gollath. And God rewarded him. Joseph was another emergency man. He was a boy. He didn't run with the gang. He was a member of no clique. His brethren despised him. The king threw him in prison. When Pharaoh's wise men and soothsayers could not interpret his dream God sent an emergency man. He was Joseph, and he was young and inexperienced. But when the wise, the experienced, the greatly honored failed, Joseph filled the breach. Did Pharaoh put Joseph back in prison after the emergency passed? No! Heathen Pharaoh was too fair, or was it that he was only too wise? The Bible and modern times furnish many examples of emergency men—men whom greater or less emergencies have brought to the front. It is for every man to so prepare himself in heart, body and mind, for he may be needed when the time comes. Mmc. M. L.

Poor Basis for Municipal Water Plant Poor Basis for Municipal Water Plant 一 It matters not what position one took in the franchise fight of the Denver Union Water Company, he cannot but be amazed at the slender thread of fact upon which the advocates of municipal ownership relied when they followed the lead of A. L. Fellows, who now is a member of the water commission and has been the engineer, whose estimates have been the basis of opposition to an extension of franchise. Mr. Fellows, in his testimony before the United States commissioner, who is adjudicating one of the suits that has arisen out of that election, has admitted that his data was old; that some of it was not his own, being appropriated wholly from the work of Mr. Hunter; that he has not made a thorough examination into water right values, but has taken much for granted. All this tends to disprove the reliability of his work as consulting engineer and would cast doubt upon the municipal project, and when one reads further in his testimony where he contradicts himself, where he either denies or qualifies statements that were freely used as arguments for municipal ownership, amazement gives way to disgust that the people have been tricked into a costly litigation and endless elections for the sole reason that such a course gave life to an election machine. It is not the purpose of The Statesman at this time to defend its course in supporting the franchise of the Denver Union Water Company, but to show the need of real thinking on public questions. When acceptance of one side of a question commits the city to such an indefensible course as that it is now pursuing, remember it is the taxpayer who pays the bills. Had Mr. Fellows said under oath before election what he has said in the last ten days, the other arguments for an extension of franchise would not have been needed. The Statesman urges its readers to go slow about joining in with the people who advocate a commission form of government. We do not say that there are not some good features in the project, but by no means does it follow because it is not wholly bad that it is wholly good. Because there are faults in our present charter, it does not follow that nothing can be worse. Yet such is the conceit of the movers of these so-called "reform" laws, that they abuse and villify all who are not in agreement with them. The ability of the people to govern themselves is seriously in doubt when they lend themselves so readily to the schemes of agitators. They must learn to put the test of logic and of facts to all propositions. Now that Denver has been goldbricked and swallowed whole the fairy tale about a seven-million dollar plant that will be better than the fourteen-million dollar plant, that was offered them for sale, the people must feel cheap to have their Moses admit on the witness stand under oath that his knowledge was meager, both of the water rights that would be needed, and the price that would have to be paid for them. If his estimates of the cost of pipe, labor and the like are not just as much a matter of guess, it is not because he is a thorough—going reliable engineer. In the while that the courts are resolving the water situation into something simple that we all can understand, Denver will have to make many decisions effecting its government, and we cite this case, which is the clearest of proof that the people cannot afford to leave their thinking to others, but must weigh well each step regardless of the cloud of abuse that some people raise to obscure the essence of the matter. What of the Future? No words could show more eloquently the position to which the Negro has been relegated in politics, than does the silence which characterizes the coming campaign about matters that will affect him. There is no thunder of heavy artillery brought into play to influence the representatives we will have in national convention. Even the voice of the Negroes who affiliate with Democrats, is thinned out into a faint, plaintive treble. Republicans and Democrats alike seem determined to play the game of politics with the Negro voter as harmless and useless spectator. So far as Democracy is concerned, its position is logical. It has made us no promises and such support as our people give it, is a free will gift, a sort of sacrifice to Baal. But for the Republican party to pass us by is unexpected and undeserved.

We are not bewailing the loss of the active protectorate which the party exerted over us since the war, but we do complain when it sits idly by and permits the laws of its own making which are for all citizens, to be disregarded when those injured are Negroes. We are not crying for "Force" bills to guarantee us by military force what we cannot hold of merit under the usual civil officials. But we plead for justice. The record of fifteen years bids us prepare to make our way alone. President Taft has been told time and again that he was jeopardizing his success and his party's success in so far as it depends upon colored voters, and has been warned to take steps to hold us true to our former allegiance. But in vain. Now in the mouth of the campaign, when factional fights within the party are jeopardizing what chance it has had for success, it is doubly necessary to make peace between colored Republicans and the Republican party. It is late, very late. But the Negro is so used to being handed crumbs that he is doubtless able to swallow his dignity even now if proper advances are made. We hope they will be, they ought to be, and we believe that the party will be defeated unless they are made. "CHICAGO NEGROES SAY THEY'LL DO OWN SEGREGATING. "Plan Establishment of Colored Neighborhood in Unimproved Part of City—Hope for Peace and Contentment. The following article from a daily paper gives additional weight to Rev. Over's statement made at the Sunday Alliance on Jan. 7th, that we should segregate ourselves and not wait for the white man to segregate us. "(New York Herald-Denver Republican Special.) "Chicago, Jan. 12.—We oppose being segregated, but are segregated in spite of ourselves; so if we must be segregated, we will try to determine how and where it shall be done." "That is the view of an everpresent problem which has been taken by a number of Negroes in Chicago who wish to better their home surroundings. They are developing a project which they believe will insure them peace and contentment." "This movement contemplates the establishment of a residence neighborhood for Negroes on a tract of land at present unimproved, and said to be so far from other residences that there will be no objection on the part of the property owners. An option has been obtained on 20 acres." I feel that my efforts to establish a Negro farming settlement have been in the right direction, and popular sentiment is growing along these lines. There are about six quarter sections for homesteads in the Dearfield Settlement which is located in one of the best farming districts in Colorado. It is only about sixty miles from Denver on an air line, and seventy-one miles by rail. All conditions are favorable to good crops for the dry farmer this year. If any one desires to acquire a homestead in this community, I will point him to a location free of charge. My only interest is that I would like to see this fine land in the hands of some of our worthy people. There are now twenty-one families located in the settlement. The total cost of filling on a homestead is as follows: R. R. fare to see the ground... $ 4.00 Livery hire to drive out to locate 2.00 Lunch ..... 50 Buch ..... 5.0 Making out papers ..... 1.50 Filling with land office ..... 16.00 Total ..... $24.00 If you have some one locate you, there will be an additional cost of $30.00-$25.00 for locating and $5.00 for the locater's expenses. I will give a plat of the location free and with the assistance of the settlers one can easily locate and save $30.00. Persons interested can see maps and plats at the office of Attorney A. W.

E., "Worthwhile Ambitions;" 5 p. m., "Unavoidable Responsibilities." The public is hereby notified at a congregational meeting of the People's church last Sunday morning, the hour of evening service was changed from 7:30 to 5 p. m., to begin Sunday, Jan. 21, until further notice. The Rev. Dr. Hutchison, Field Secretary of the General Assembly's Committee on Sabbath Observance, will occupy the pulpit at the morning service and the pastor will preach at 5 o'clock. The presence of all members and all friends is solicited. A number of outside friends of this church have approached the pastor with regards to an article under the caption of, "Rev. Thos-Hazell Tenders Resignation," in The Statesman of Jan. 6th. The pastor begs leave to say to his many friends and those interested in this church that the minister is irresponsible for the publicity of any such statements in as much as he has never interviewed any newspaper man or outside individual on the subject. The publicity of such statements we regard as being precocious, since they do not represent neither the minister nor the congregation's feelings in the matter. As a Presbyterian minister is responsible to the Presbytery as far as his resignation is concerned, such resignation must be to the Presbytery, and only the Presbytery can accept it. If for any cause a Presbyterian minister desires to resign his pastoral charge, the Presbytery shall cite the congregation to appear, by their commissioners, to show cause, if any they have, why the Presbytery should not accept the resignation. If the congregation fails to appear, or if their reasons for retaining their pastor be deemed by the Presbytery insufficient, he shall have leave granted to resign his pastoral charge. If any congregation shall desire to be released from their pastor, a similar process, mutatis mutandis, shall be observed." (Form of Govt.) Chap. 17. The public is therefore notified that The People's Church with its pastor, Rev. Thos-Hazell, S. T. B., continues to do business at the same old stand and under the same old conditions until further notice is given by the church officially. From the time we assumed the pastorate of this church, at no one time has the pastor's salary been one month in arrears, a record that few if any churches in Denver can boast of. The mission of the church we regard as being far above the dollars and cents question. At the winter meeting of Presbytery last Tuesday at Central Presbyterian church, Dr. R. M. Donaldson, Field Secretary of the Board of Home Missions for the Rocky Mountain District of seven states, was commissioned as envoy to represent The People's church to the authorities at New York, and Dr. R. F. Coyle and Elder O. A. Erdman of the First Avenue church as Negotiators with the Board of Church Erection in St. Louis on behalf of the property including its repairs. Jan. 16th, 1912.

Reception---Continued creeds we rejoice in the fact that they each and all have one common purpose in view—that is, to assist fallen humanity, to accept the plan of salvation, to be finally saved from the wrath of a Creator who hates sin. Permit me to say to you, Reverend Williams, that in the execution of your bidden duties, you will find in this city a class of citizens whose sympathies are with the church, and upon whom the church draws liberally for financial assistance and for an increase of its membership; that indispensable element directs me to welcome you among us and promises to continue to do in the future, as in the past, all in its power to assist you and those who have called you for the advancement of the church and the cause it represents. We welcome you, Reverend Sir, to our city and we welcome you to meet us in our homes, where you'll find our people industrious, frugal, progressive, and making strides toward education, wealth and the ownership of property. We know it is your mission to declare to the world that "God is love," and from whom no evil can come, but from whom all blessings come. These truths were distinctively taught by Jesus Christ and impressively taught by his life, sacrifice and death on Mount Calvary. But these truths went into temporary eclipse in the dark ages. Martin Luther, we know, grasped them, but faintly, because of the marked combativeness of his nature. Calvin failed to rise to a correct vision of them, or else he would not have taught a partial manifestation of Divine grace, nor would he have consented to the burning of Servitus. Few persons in ancient and modern times seem to have risen to the altitude of Christ's conception of the doctrine of "love for mankind," and to have given to it a Capernician relation to the whole system of creation, revelation and providence. We welcome you because it is your mission to declare and publish to the world the rational and scriptural truths that GOD IS.MAN, and in him dwells the trinity of love, wisdom and power. There need henceorth be no doubt as to the purposes of this Divine being; for He has revealed Himself in nature. He has proven that He is philanthropic to man by His unselfishness and self-sacrifice. This is the greatest, tenderest and most inspiring thought that the world has yet received. We welcome you because it is your duty to make known to the world, from the pulpit and by your conversation, the fact that man is an immortal spirit in human form, that death is a mere transition with out the essential loss of fuller and distinctive consciousness; that the spiritual realm is infinitely more real and perfect than the natural; and that the crowning end of all divine operations in creation, Redemption and rPovidence is to transform the human race into an harmonious, blissful and heavenly society, whose constitution is "Love to God and Man." These truths relative to man's future are the noblest, most inspiring, and consoling that human imagination has ever conceived or the heart has ever cherished. Again, we welcome you, Reverend Williams, because you are the custodian of a measure of our rights. Men who can govern themselves are the best fitted to govern others. You, having learned that lesson, can assist materially in placing the race in the front rank of best citizenship where the race will bear its share of governmental turdens, and enjoy all the privileges incident to a victorious and triumphant country. You are aware that suffering forms a large part of our inheritance in this country; it is therefore your duty to teach us tolerance and forbearance, for nothing permanently good has ever come to any people who had not the endurance to struggle and wait to conquer. In God must be our profound trust for the future; with faith in the possibilities of the race we must maintain race pride, must exhibit exalted Christianity, and at the same time must appeal to the American people for justice and liberty; and then await the fulfillment of His promises with hope, for as a writer has said, "There is Hope everywhere, for it's the only universal history: "That right forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne, But the scaffold sways the future," And behind the dim unknown Standeth God within the shadow, Keeping watch above His own." Then with a hope for a better and brighter future for the race, and with your kindly assistance, the citizens, through me, bid me to extend to you a most hearty reception. --- Room For Deserving Young Ministers In A. M. E. Church. THE WAY TO INSURE SUCCESS Thrilling Story of the Upward Struggles of the Rev. Dr. H. P. Anderson From Obscurity to Prominence-He Is Urged by His Friends For Secretary of Missions. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Atlantic City, N. J.—The young men in the African Methodist Episcopal church to a marked degree have set the impress of their personality on the remarkable work of that denomination. One among this element is a young man who has come into close relationship with many great movements for the conservation of the best interest of the race. He has become influential in the denomination and is a precursor of what may be expected from the younger men. This story tells of a character which has the kind of initiative that causes one to build stronger by adhering to the rules which insure progress. There is an appreciable tendency on the part of molders of sentiment in the A. M. E. church to allow young men who can make their way by hard work to positions of great trust a chance to use their talent. Because of this peculiar ability to elevate himself from the position of chore boy on a farm, cheerfully toiling in a brickyard, making a clean record for himself as coachman, waiter in hotels and on dining cars, the Rev. Dr. H. P. Anderson is much admired. The story of a struggle to support a mother and sister on a farm after the death of his father is strikingly exemplified in the early struggles of the Rev. Mr. Anderson. Having parents who endowed him with a strong Christian character, he had a righteous ambition and entered Wilberforce university in 1889. He was converted at this noted institution and completed with honor the college and theological courses of the university and then re- P. turned to his native state and spent five successful years as pastor of the church at Morristown, N. J. He gradually became one of the strongest characters in the New Jersey conference and was sent to his present charge, St. James' A. M. E. church, this city. This is the largest church in the conference and stands among the leading churches in the connection. His executive ability was tested by many barriers in this field. The church had obligations to the amount of $28,000. He did not fail to accept the arduous task and has adjusted the affairs of the church so that it meets all of its obligations. His training has eminently fitted him for such service as the church needs. He has been conference secretary for six years. His church led the general conference in dollar money, breaking the record by raising $55 more than his predecessor. He represented his conference at the general conference at Norfolk, Va., and will again represent the same at the quadrennial conference next May in Kansas City, Mo. For four years he was grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of New Jersey, during which he doubled the membership. As a preacher, pastor and scholar he exhibits remarkable ability, and several persons high in the councils of the church, with numerous others in most all sections of the country, have upon various occasions highly complimented him. His friends say that for a number of years he has had aspirations in the direction of the missionary secretaryship, having made a special study of the work. Through his many friends, after a conference with the leading spirits of the church, he decided to allow his name to be used as a candidate for that office. Other influential members of his conference say this is the young man they want, not because he comes from any particular section, but because he is gifted and worthy of advancement. He was a poor boy, but he has worked his way through college from the most humble rank, plucked a branch from the tree of persistence and wrote his name high in the temples of the Lord. The New Jersey conference has indorsed him for the position of secretary of missions, and, judging from the attitude of other conferences over the country, he will surely be elected. COME!

MANAGER Denver, Colo. THE STATESMAN—6 INDUSTRIAL STATISTICS. Wonderful Achievements of the Race In Pennsylvania. Unusual public comment has been aroused in the annual report of John L. Rockey, chief recorder of the state bureau of industrial statistics, because of the fact that for the first time there is included in his report an account of the realty holdings, personal property and industrial activities among the colored people of the state. The report shows that individuals and organizations hold title to real estate valued at $20,000,000. The assessment on said reality amounts to $13,000,000. In the city of Philadelphia alone the race owns 1,080 parcels of real estate subject to taxation, of which the assessed valuation is $2,501,275. In Pittsburgh there are 643 pieces of property credited to members of the race, with an assessed value of $1,437,060, the market value of which is $2,153,000. In other cities, like Harrisburg, the property holdings of the colored citizens are estimated at from $35,000 to $150,000. Mr. Rockey's report further shows that there are upward of 80,000 persons of African descent employed at gainful occupations, classified as follows: Engaged at domestic service, 69.4 per cent; manufacturing, 12.9 per cent; transportation, 11.6 per cent; agriculture, 4.6 per cent, and in professional service, 1.5 per cent. Within the past decade there have sprung up a number of thrifty business concerns which give employment to members of the race. There are eleven building and loan associations in the state conducted by persons of means and experience. There are 359 churches besides many other religious organizations owned by the colored people in the state, which are valued at $3,160,267. --- THREE YEARS' GROWTH OF THE ABYSSINIAN CHURCH Congregation Prospers Under the Rev. Dr. A. C. Powell's Ministry. December, 1911, marked the close of the third year of the pastorate of the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell at the Abyssinian Baptist church in New York. Dr. Powell's anniversary sermon consisted of a critical review of the spiritual, financial and numerical growth of the church and was one of the best discourses which the pastor has delivered during his three years' pastorate of that large and influential congregation. Under his ministry the church has enjoyed an unparalleled degree of success. A recital of the accomplishments sounds more like fiction than facts of church history. During the three years the pastor has made 1,041 sick calls, conducted 269 funerals, married fifty-three couples, prayed for seventy-one babies, delivered in his own church two lectures, 407 sermons and midweek gospel addresses, delivered at other churches and halls 122 sermons, lectures and addresses, thus making a total of 531 sermons, addresses and lectures delivered in three years. Dr. Powell well said that only a man who has passed through such an experience knows the time, nerve force and blood required in the preparation necessary for the delivery of this number of speeches. During the three years the church collected from all sources $61,297,12 and paid on its debts $10,357. When Rev. Mr. Powell took charge the church owed on all its properties $145,357. It now owes $135,000 and had paid in interest during his pastorate $21,809 and for addition to the church $800. During the three years 703 members have been added to the roll. It is now considered one of the strongest churches financially, spiritually and numerically in the north, having a membership of 2,300. As an illustration of this during the one hundred and third anniversary, which was recently celebrated, the pastor asked for $1,500, and $2,300 was the amount received. The church is thoroughly united, and no people are showing their love for their minister in a more practical way than the Abyssinians. In addition to about $100 worth of Christmas gifts made him and his family, the members gave him a handsome purse as an expression of their love and high appreciation for his three years' service. Good Citizen and Capable Physician, York Russell. M. D., is one of the most thorough and practical Negro physicians in Greater New York. He is highly educated, is progressive, and his services are greatly in demand. He enjoys the confidence and friendship of some of the leading white practitioners in New York city, who frequently consult with him on medical matters. The doctor is a good mixer, a capital speaker and popular with all races and all classes. Dr. Roman's Emancipation Address. The emancipation address of Dr. C. V. Roman, which was delivered to the citizens of Montgomery. Ala., is still the talk of the town. Dr. Roman's oration was generally historical, relating to the achievements of the race in the past. For the present and future he made a strong plea for safe and sane leadership.

New York Equity Congress After Long and Persistent Effort Succeeds In Forming Provisional Regiment of Colored Men For State National Guard—Colonel Fillmore's Record. By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. New York.—All plans have been completed for the formation of the first provisional regiment of colored men, the muster roll of which has been sent to Governor John A. Dix for his official signature. The regiment is composed of ablebodied men from the boroughs of Greater New York. Colonel Charles W. Fillmore, who is an experienced army man, has been chosen to head the new regiment. Many of the men in the organization are those who saw service in the Spanish-American war. Altogether there are 980 men. There are twelve companies, with sixty men to the company, and a regimental staff that reflects credit upon P. B. COLONEL CHARLES W. FILLMORE. the men of whom it is composed. The regimental staff is made up as follows: Colonel, Charles W. Fillmore; lieutenant colonel, J. Frank Wheaton; major and surgeon, Gustavus Henderson; captain and adjutant, J. Albert Jaxon; captain and assistant surgeon, Eugene P. Roberts; captain and quartermaster, Paul H. Bray; captain and commissary, James C. Thomas; captain and inspector of rife practice, Virgil H. Parks; captain and signal officer, Lee A. Pollard; captain and ordinance officer, W. T. R. Richardson; captain and chaplain, Price S. James. Noncommissioned Officers.—Sergeant major, Herbert E. Gee; chief trumpeter, Richard C. Wendel; quartermaster sergeant, Joseph Watts; commissary sergeant, Major Hart; senior color sergeant, Alfred Frye; junior color sergeant, Herbert Payne. Band.—Chief musician, Edward E. Thompson; principal musician, Robert F. Douge; drum major, Moses Mimms; sergeants, Joseph Yearde, Antonio Rivera, Bunn Gilmore, Fred Coxico; corporals, Frank Woodson, Major Jackson, Alfred T. Downs, Joseph Mahood, Numa A. G. Adams, John Burroughs, Henry H. Austin, Clyde D. Carter. Privates—James A. Allen, Charles Brooks, Benjamin Colbert, Arthur H. Jackson, Jerome D. Jones, James W. Lee, George Nelson, William Riley, George E. Sharpe, George M. Smith, Henry Simmons, William A. Scott, William B. Tates, William H. Wiggins. First Battallion Staff.—Major, H. Herman Blount; first lieutenant and adjutant, Rudolph R. James; first lieutenant and quartermaster, Robert T. Brown; first lieutenant and commissary, Anthony B. DeComathiere; first lieutenant and assistant surgeon, Allen B. Graves. Noncommissioned Staff.—Sergeant major, Harold E. Jenkins; quartermaster sergeant, Charles Harris; commissary sergeant, John Lee. Colonel Charles W. Fillmore is one of the most prominent men of the race in military and political circles. He has had a long and brilliant record as a soldier and army officer. He knows the soldier life from the ranks up. His military life began at the age of ten, when he was marker in the Duquesne Blues of the Ohio national guard, in which capacity he served five years. He served as private and sergeant in the Bushnell guards of the Ninth battalion infantry and was also commissioned lieutenant of the Springfield cadets; in February, 1897, he was commissioned major of the Ninth battalion infantry, Ohio national guard, a white regiment. Colonel Fillmore is the only man of the race who has been so honored by a white regiment. House Repeals the Wilson Ballot Law. The Wilson ballot law, which has been in vogue in eleven counties of Maryland, has been repealed by the house of delegates at Annapolis and a substitute enacted in its stand. Each measure, however, was born to prevent colored men from exercising their right to vote. It is said that the Republicans in the house bitterly opposed the substitute on the ground that it was just as iniquitous as the Wilson law. IN THE BUSINESS WORLD. Capable Afro-Americans Who Are Getting Results From Their Efforts. Sterling Lambert is an enterprising business man of Yonkers, N. Y., who conducts the oldest, best appointed and most successful employment agency in the Terrace City and caters only to the most exclusive families in the city and the county of Westchester. In addition to this business, he deals in real estate, buying and exchanging property. He has thus made it possible for colored people to secure more sanitary and comfortable homes in Yonkers. S. A. Bennett, a graduate of Yale and Yonkers' only colored lawyer, is associated with Mr. Lambert in an advisory capacity and looks after the law end of the real estate business. Mr. Bennett is a good speaker and a careful and very painstaking lawyer and is growing in favor in the courts of the city and county. Mr. Lambert's wife is an example of womanly industry and enterprise. She is an excellent modiste and conducts an establishment on Woodworth avenue, which is second to none. At the recent exposition held in the armory in Yonkers to show the progress of America in the industrial and mechanical arts, etc., Mrs. Lambert exhibited several gowns designed and fashioned with her own hands, which brought her unstinted praise from fashionable folk, who "had no idea," as many of them frankly admit, that colored women were so artistic. But these good ladies had not read John Boyle O'Reilly's splendid tribute to the artistic genius of our coloured women. He said, "The colored woman has the best artistic eye for color of all the women in America." The Lamberts live in their own pretty home at 48 Woodworth avenue. They are both active members of Messiah Baptist church and lend a hand to every worthy cause and every worthy individual having a claim upon their generous bounty. Mr. Lambert is a prominent member of the Knights of Pythias and of several local organizations around Yonkers. RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY IN CITY OF CINCINNATI. Caused by Effort to Draw Color Line at Missionary Exposition. Cincinnati—The controversy as to whether the colored people of this city are to be allowed representation at the "world in Cincinnati" missionary exposition proposed to be held in this city next spring is assuming wide proportions. The attempt to bar the churches of Afro-Americans has aroused the Rev. G. R. Robbins to righteous indignation. In an open letter the Rev. Mr. Robbins says concerning the matter: I am so constituted by birth, natural and spiritual, by the blood of my honored parents and the blood of my adorable Redeemer that it is utterly impossible for me not to take the part of the despised or the helpless in this crisis and hurt. I am persuaded that a great injustice is being inflicted upon the colored ministers and the members of their churches in this city by the action of the stewards' committee of the "world in Cincinnati" not allowing them some little chance in the exposition to be lead in our city in the early spring. To me it seems, as it must to every careful and candid thinker and especially Christian, that it is the height of folly and the quintessence of absurdity, a sin and a shame for a movement which advertises itself to show what Christianity is and what it is not in the theatrical and operatic presentations to leave out what the colored people have accomplished in the south and what has been undertaken by different denominations in Africa. It is self evident that such a movement is dangerous to the cause of Christianity and will do more to hinder the work of missions, home and foreign, than can be conceived by the fidelists. The fidelists will scorn, demons laugh and angels and saints weep bitter tears. Would it not be perfectly possible, without giving offense to any one, even those least liking and loving the colored people, to have all churches invited and then so arranged as not to offend the most sensitive in any and all churches? There are now some 12,000,000 colored people in the south against 4,000,000 at the close of the civil war. Are these not there evangelized? Where in America is there bigger and more important missionary field? Is it not the hope of every prophet that these may be evangelized and educated and thousands of them sent across the waters of the sea to evangelize the dark continent? Is it possible that after hundreds of thousands of the boys in blue the boys in gray and baptized the virgin soil of the fair southland with their blood for the liberation of the black slaves that they have liberated to chill liberty where the deep City of the West shall catch the Negroes and shackle them and forbid them the religious liberty to have a little booth in some nook or corner of Music hall to show some of the great things God has done for them? Great God forbid! Minister, laymen, citizens, Christians, Protestants, Catholics, Jews, stand up and say, "No; this must not be so!" Otherwise we shall be very guilty before man and God. Not only will the city be dishonored and the work of the churches retarded, but a set of churches will be built where a wide evangelization. May no man got-up movements ever be allowed to hinder the divine kingdom movements of hastening the time when all the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of Jesus Christ.
