Every Lover of Humanity and Justice Should Subscribe. The Editor of The Crisis: I wish the best success of your cause. May I therefore call your attention and that of your readers to certain rather characteristic points in your interesting Easter number of the magazine, in which I suspect that you tend to defeat your main purpose? First, I doubt whether your judgement of the late Mr. Robert C. Ogden was fair. If he did not admire "a self-conscious" Negro, he did not like self-consciousness in anyone. The ideal type of man, black or white, is not thinking about himself. Granting however, that you put your finger on a certain limitation in Mr. Ogden's democracy, my point is that we ought to give the benefit of the doubt" to men of Mr. Ogden's type. If they are not the best friends of the most progressive movement, still let us claim them heartily as friends. Otherwise we tend to halt the procession. To claim them as friends tends to move such men our way. For what end do we talk if not to persuade? To persuade those who agree with us? That is cheap work. We want to persuade those who are on the fence, hesitating whether to come further. Secondly, what you say of capitalizing the word Negro strikes me again as characteristic of the same attitude (shall I say it?) of carrying a chip on the shoulder. For I must confess that, though brought up in the sturdiest old anti-slavery traditions, I was never taught to spell either Negro or white with a capital. I still object to spell "white" after this new convention, and yet I wish to treat my colored friends as well as I treat white people. I suspect that most people do not know this new style of capitalization, and are quite innocent of the intent to give offence. Thirdly I think you go off the line of useful persuasion and create needless antagonism in what you say on page 286 of Mr. Roosevelt's remark that "the best men in the United States believe in treating each man, of whatever color, absolutely on his worth," etc. You and I wish to become true, Do you imagine that it is the slightest help to our purpose to denounce Mr. Roosevelt's statement as a "falsehood"? Why not better keep the fine sentence in print in every issue of The Crisis, till the colonel comes back from South America? The more people who are made to see this sentence the sooner the world will come to believe it, and act up to it. The oftener you call such a word false the slower you inevitably make human progress toward our ideal. We wonder sometimes at educated people who seem never to have grappled with the philosophy of evolution! Is it possible that the management of The Crisis, a progressive paper, is still living in the period of dualism, and thinks that we civilize the world in proportion to the number of people whom we can stir up to feel ugly? Finally, why do you hurt and spoil the touching effect of lynching at Leland, Miss., by what seems a clear slur at President Wilson and President Eliot? Has either of them ever given encouragement to lynching? Here are ninety millions of people emerging from the barbarism of only a few generations ago. The wonder is that there is so little killing; the fact is that society is steadily setting its face against it. Please say every positive word you like to establish the manliness, the patience and the courage of your leaders. Please do the least possible to arouse resentment of bitterness, which is sure to react upon those who stir it. Please do more of what you are doing every month, to show the growth of a kindly good will among all kinds of people. For good will is the only irresitable power in the universe. We publish very gladly Mr. Dole's criticism of The Crisis, because of our deep respect for the writer and because he voices a real and vital disagreement with our policy which is continually, in one way or another, coming to expression. It is briefly this thesis: "Don't antagonize, don't be bitter; say the conciliatory thing; make friends and do not repel them; insist on and emphasize the cheerful and good and dwell as little as possible on wrong and evil." The Crisis does not believe in this policy so far as the present status of the American Negro problem is concerned. We could imagine many social problems, and many phases in a particular problem, when the watchful waiting, the tactfully conciliatory attitude would be commendable and worth while. At other times it would be suicidal and this, in our opinion, is one of the times. It was ever so. When the Hebrew prophets cried aloud there were respectable persons by the score who said: "Unfortunate exaggeration!" "Unnecessary feeling!" "Ungodly bitterness!" Yet the jeremiads were needed to redeem a people. When the abolitionists began, not simply to say, but to act as if slavery were a "covenant with hell," there were plenty of timid souls "on the fence, hesitating," who serambled down hastily on the popular side and were willing to lynch Garrison and ostracize Phillips. All this might be beside the mark if we had not already tried Mr. Dole's prescriptions. For now nearly twenty years we have made of ourselves mudsills for the feet of this Western world. We have echoed and applauded every shameful accusation made against 10,000,000 victims of slavery. Did they call us inferior half-beasts? We nodded our simple heads and whispered: "We is." Did they call our women prostitutes and our children bastards? We smiled and cast a stone at the bruised breasts of our wives and daughters. Did they accuse of laziness 4,000,000 sweating, struggling laborers, half paid and cheated out of much of that? We shrieked: "Ain't it so?" We laughed with them at our color, we joked at our sad past, and we told chicken storiet to get alms. And what was the result? We got "friends." I do not believe any people ever had so many "friends" as the American Negro today! He has nothing but "friends" and may the good God deliver him from most of them, for they are like to lynch his soul. What is it to be a friend of the Negro? It is to believe in anything for him except, perhaps, total and immediate annihilation. Short of that, good and kind friend of colored folk believe that he is, in Mr. Dooley's charming phrase, "aisily lynched," and ought to be occasionally. Even if 2,662 accused black people have been lynched, burned and mutilated in twenty-eight years (not to mention the the murder of perhaps 10,000 other black folk), our friends think we ought not to disturb the good President of these United States because. "the wonder is that there is so little killing!" It is the old battle of the better and the best. The worst foes of Negro manhood to-day are those compromising friends who are willingly satisfied with even less than half a loaf. They want the Negro educated: but the South objects to Negro colleges. Oh, very well, then, high schools: but the South objects to "literory" training for "niggers!" Dear, dear! Then "industrial" training; but the South objects to training any considerable number of Negroes for industry; it wants them for mental service. Very well, train them as servants and field hands--anything as long as it is "education!" Then we and The Crisis rise and say: But—" Our friends raise deprecating hands; they adjust the sofa pillows, shade the light and say: "Now, now, Give them the benefit of the doubt!" Thats precisely what we intend to do. For twenty-five years we have let the procession go by until the systematic denial of manhood rights to black men in America is the crying disgrace of the century. We have wrongs, deep and bitter wrongs. There are local and individual exceptions; there are some mitigating circumstances, there is much to be excused, there is much to be said, and yet for the great mass of 10,000,000 Americans of Negro descent these things are true: We are denied education. We are driven out of the Church of Christ. We are forced down to the lowest wage scale. We are held up to ridicule in the press and on the plat. We are disfranchised. We are taxed without representation. We are denied the right to choose our friends or to be chosen by them, but must publicly announce ourself as social pariahs or be suggestively kicked by the Survey. In law and custom our women have no rights which a white men's bound to respect. We cannot get justice in the courts. We are lynched with impunity. We are publicly, continuously and shamefully insulted from the day of our birth to the day of our death. And yet we are told not to be "self-conscious;" to lie about the truth in order to make it "come true;" to grapple with the philosophy of evolution: and not to make people feel ugly by telling them ugly facts. Few admire Mr. Dole, personally, more than the editor of The Crisis. Mr. Dole is the type of what the American of the future may be: fine in feeling, dedicate in touch, sensitive to the subtle beauties of the world. But Mr. Dole's feet never walked the way we tread. He does not know—he cannot conceive this darker world of insult, repression, hunger and murder. He and Chas, Edward Eliot and Woodrow Wilson and millions of others have given no encouragement to lynching except by silence! Who ever tried harder than the Negro and his "friends" to use the lie for social betterment? We have lied about the South so strenuously that this may account for the persistent blackness of our faces. Oh, yes; the South is the true tried friend of Negroes; the South wants them educated; the South detests lynching; the South loves black mammies and buries them handsomely; the little playful antics of mobs are but ebullitions of Anglo-Sexon energy or at worst the faults of "poor white trash," who do not count. Moreover, those who dispute these statements are either meddling white Northerners or impudent Negroes who want to marry white women. All of this we black folk and our "friends" have been saying glibly and frequently. We were lying and we knew we were lying, to make the "falsehood come true;" but did the world know this? Did we not lull this nation to false se- FIVE CENTS A COPY. Interesting News Concerning the Race. Interstate Commerce Commission; 115 in the Senate office building; 45 in the Congressional Library; 171 in the Washington postoffice; 2,415 in the District of Columbia local government. Washington, D. C.—The race problem, even in these days of the vexing Mexican question and the free tolls muddle, is one that is taking its fair share of the Capital spot-light. The appointment by President Wilson of Robert H. Terrell, a Negro, to judge of the District Municipal Court, which southern Senators are opposing, served to accentuate the stir in Congress over the bill introduced in the House by Representative Aswell of Louisiana, providing for the segregation of white and black governmental cleeks under the civil service. In the department service outside of Washington, 16 Negroes are employed in the diplomatic and consular service; 1,082 in the treasury branches; 2342 in the War Department; 3,599 in the Post Office Department; 31 in the Interior Department; 102 in the Department of Agriculture, and 755 miscellaneously. There are 635 Negroes employed by the government in New York; 670 in Chicago; 195 in St. Louis; from 40 to 90 in the other large cities of the country and 14,130 in miscellaneous towns. There are today 22,540 Negroes in the employ of the United States gouernmeut; who draw a total of $12,456, 760 a year. Of these Negroes 4,426 are in the army, 1529 are in thd navy and 2,140 are in the various navy yards and stations. Of the rest 5,347 with an annual pay roll of $4099,116, are employed in Washington and the remainders work in government buildings throughout the U.S. Twenty-seven Negroes are employed in the White House; 26 in the State Department; 926 in the Treasury; 170 in the War Department; 174 in Navy Department; 87 in the Postoffice Department; 593 in the Interior Department; 43 in the Department of Justice; 164 in the Department of Agriculture; 236 in the Government Printing Office; 41 in Speaking for his segregation bill in committee, Representative Aswell explained that its object was to make it unnecessary for white government employes, especially women, to work under or alongside of Negroes in the Departments. 26 in the State Department; 926 in the Treasury; 170 in the War Department; 174 in Navy Department; 87 in the Postoffice Department; 593 in the Interior Department; 43 in the Department of Justice; 164 in the Department of Agriculture; 236 in the Government Printing Office; 41 in New York. May 1.—Mrs. Bella Cole, mother of the late Bob Cole, died Monday a. m. at 4:30 o'clock. She had been ill two weeks. Funeral services were held Thursday at her late residence, 102 W. 136th St. She leaves three daughters curity and fatuous insensibility? And is the uneasiness of our friends at the plain talk of The Crisis the cause of ugly feeling or the necessary result of ridiculous lies? How far may we indeed meddle with the truth? Where is the boundary line between getting people "to come and believe" what is untrue and telling them on your honor that black is white? We have a sincere desire to see a little brochure by Mr. Dole—with hand-made paper, deckle edged and privately printed—on "The Uses of the Lie as a Means of Social Salvation." We would like to distribute a few copies in Heaven among Mr. Dole's Puritan ancestors and listen to the ensuing profanity. It is the palpable evasions of our friends and our earnest friends like Mr. Dole, that are most discouraging. When we protest at the plain insult of "negro" Mr. Dole answers that we do not capitalize "white." But white is not the correlative of Negro, as Mr. Dole knows right well. Black and colored are the correlatives to white, while Negro is used exactly as the words Malay or German or Jew or Indian are used. To refuse a word so used capitalization is a petty and usually a deliberate insult. Humanity is progressing toward an ideal; but not, please God, solely by help of men who sit in cloistered ease, hesitate from action and seek sweetness and light; rather we progress today, as in the past, by the soul-torn strength of those who can never sit still and silent while the disinherited and the damned clog our gutter and gasp their lives out on our front porches. These are the men who down in the blood and dust of the battle. They say ugly things to an ugly world They spew the luke-warm fence sraddlers out of their mouths, like God of old: they cry aloud and spare not; they shout from the housetops, and they make this world so damned uncomfortable with its nasty burden of evil that it tries to get good and does get better. Evolution is evolving the millennium, but one of the unescapable factors in evolution are the men who hate wickedness and oppression with perfect hatred, who will not equivocate will not excuse and will be heard. With the sainted spirits of such as these THE CRISIS would weakly but earnestly stand and cry in the world's four corners of the way; and claims no man as friend who dare not stand and cry it.

The quarterly meeting last Sabbath was an inspiration and the conference Monday evening was a success. The presidin gelder delivered two forceful messages and Rev. D. Smith preached a sermon at 3:00 which was characterized by such power and eloquence as one seldom hears. The presence of Rev. Washington and the visiting friends was duly appreciated. The reports rendered at the quarterly conference showed that the receipts of the trustees' department for the quarter had been $1,414.45, that of the stewards $475.66, making a total (including the receipts of the auxiliaries) of $2,000.00 for the quarter.

Warren ably filled the pulpit both morning and evening and from a spiritual standpoint was at his best. To say that all present enjoyed his discourse expresses it mildly. Wednesday evening Rev. Warren proposes to start a series of prayer services, to be followed by a protracted effort. We hope much good may be done during the revival. The cantata which was rendered on Easter Sunday was repeated by request on last Sunday. A large and appreciative audience was present and enjoyed the splendid music rendered by the choir. At the close of the service Mrs. Simon Smith presented each member of the choir white and pink carnations, thereby showing her appreciation for the untiring efforts each member had put forth to make the choir all it should be as far as was in their power. Sunday next is Moth- ers' day and will be fittingly observed in Allen's chapel. Special music will be rendered in keeping with the occasion. Mr. W. E. Thistle has arrived in the city to be at the bedside of his sister, Miss S. Kathryn Thistle, who will enter the hospital Tuesday to undergo an operation. Miss Thistle's friends hope for her a speedy recovery. COLORADO SPRINGS. Mrs. C. E. Porter of Greenville, Miss., was a visitor in the Springs several days last week and stopped with Mrs. J.

A large congregation was present to witness the impressive ceremony. The Trinity Baptist church has organized a literary society known as the People's Lyceum, which meets every Thursday evening at the church.

The Philadelphia Round Table For the Welfare of Colored People at a recent meeting decided to conduct a vocational training and boarding school for boys between the ages of ten and eighteen years. The organization has been in existence for the past five years. Its headquarters are in the Charities building on South Fifteenth street. Mr. John T. Emlen, secretary of the Armstrong association, is the prime mover in this new feature for the advancement of our people. Mr. Emlen considered the matter from the standpoint of the number of boys available for such an institution, the opportunities these boys would have to do work, the existing educational facilities and the type of institutions outside of Pennsylvania now giving their attention to vocational education. At the request of William B. Buck of the Seybert institution, a study was made some months ago by the Armstrong association of the number of dependent, neglected and poor colored children especially needing vocational training in Philadelphia between the ages of ten and sixteen years. The number found was reported as follows: In public and parochial schools, Society For Charity and miscellaneous organizations, boys 263, girls 139. In addition there were 364 children on waiting lists, or who had applied and been refused. There is, therefore, a possible total of 386 boys and 209 girls between the age of ten and sixteen who are in need of some special instruction which will fit them for life. To Build Home For Delinquent Girls. The architect's plans for the erection of the state home buildings for incorrigible colored girls at Tipton, Mo. have been submitted to and approved by the board of managers of the institution. The central edifice will be 183 feet long and 66 feet wide. This, with the proposed group of buildings, will be of fireproof construction. The estimated cost of the buildings is placed at $99,000. Wins Success After Hard Struggle For Existence. ITS OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT. Institution Fostered by the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Jacksonville, Fla., Placed on Firm Footing by Bishop John Hurst With the Cooperation of the People. Jacksonville, Fla.-Edward Waters college, the A. M. E. school of Florida, situated at Jacksonville, under the wise management of Bishop John Hurst, D. D., of Baltimore, is fast forging to the front. Debt ridden since its birth back in 1885, it has had a most heroic struggle for existence. After the destructive fire that swept away the greater part of Jacksonville in 1901, when the college was destroyed, Edward Waters saw some very hard times. Sometimes hardly existing, the college was moved from place to place, now in a rented hall and again in some building, but always with the hope that some day it would have a fixed abode. Every bishop who has served the diocese, together with the good men of Florida, has striven hard to realize that hope, but one reverse after another came until some began to think that surely a relentless fate must be following the institution. Bishop Salter, although enfeebled in health, got behind the movement on his going to the district and with the help of the then president, Dr. A. Henry Attaway, and the men of Florida who had never given up the struggle, erected Salter hall, a large building of sixty-four rooms, situated on Kings road, the beautiful drive that stretches through the western part of the city. A. Still heavily encumbered with debt, the school struggled on, but with renewed hope. After his elevation to the bishopric at Kansas City in 1912 Bishop John Hurst, who was assigned to the diocese of Florida, hastened to the state to look the situation over. The outlook was not very promising; but, with the courage and belief in the ultimate triumph of right that have always characterized the man, he at once set to work. He evolved a plan whereby the people of Florida, putting forth herculean efforts, have swept away the last penny of indebtedness against the school. Never have the faithful presiding elders, pastors and people worked so before. At the grand rally held at Mount Zion church in Jacksonville on Oct. 1, 1913, more than $13,000 was raised. Now African Methodism points with pride to her school, and a new day seems to be dawning for the institution. The old episcopal residence had in the meantime been converted into a beautiful thirty-two roomed dormitory for the boys, so that these two newly painted main buildings, situated on a little over six acres of ground, call forth words of praise from the many passersby on this main traveled thoroughfare. The Rev. John A. Gregg, B. A., the present president, seems to be grasping the work in a way that spells success for the institution. His preparation and travel have peculiarly fitted him for the work, and Florida is blessed in having secured his aid. He was born in Eureka, Kan., Feb. 18, 1877, and attended the public schools of that place and as the only colored member of his class, having served it as president. He graduated from the high school with honor in 1890. He then took the scientific course in the Southern Kansas academy of the same city, graduating from the same in 1897 as class orator, which honor he won against nine other contenants, all white men. In the fall of 1897 he entered the Kansas State university. When the Spanish-American war broke out in 1898 he left school with a number of his schoolmates and joined the Twenty-third Kansas volunteers and served as quartermaster sergeant with his regiment in Cuba.

The town of Deerfield, two miles south of Masters, in Weld county, will soon be a thriving, hustling reality. Several cottages, a number of stores and a church are now in course of construction and the town will be the serving point for about sixty home-stenders in the vicinity. Deerfield is the idea of O. T. Jackson, colored messenger for Governor Ammons, and is to be a town for negroes. It is a tract or building lots surrounded by five and ten-acre garden sites, and beyond those are 160-acre farms, dairies and ranches, all taken by negroes, and in prosperous condition. The townsite was brought from the state two months ago and is entirely paid for, the state having given a clear title to the purchasers from the government under the act of congress dated March, 1875. Many negroes from Denver and other Colorado cities have bought town lots in Deerfield and numerous Sunday excursions to the new city are planned for the summer.—Denver Post. We trust that as much publicity will be given the above as was given the original criticism. Write to the Recorder's office, Weld county, Colorado, and make inquiries as to the patent and its filing. A CORRECTION. TAKE NOTICE. In our list of donations made by the public and various lodges to the Robert Harris case, we inadvertently omitted the Household of Ruth No. 4120 (G. U. O. O. F.) for five dollars and inserted in its stead Rocky Mountain Lodge, F. & A. M., for $5, and up until that time they had made no contribution. Odd Fellows of the city, the patriarchy, the Councils and the Households and Juveniles will have the annual sermon preached by Rev. R. L Pope at Shorter chapel tomorrow at 3 p. m. All members are requested to assemble at Rocky Mountain Lodge hall at 1:30 p. m. sharp. A short session of the school will convene at the sermon at Rocky Mountain Lodge at 2630 Welton street. Business of importance. H. Dickerson of Chicago was in the city this week visiting his friends. With a very impressive service and surrounded by her many friends, Mrs. Sarah Stills was laid to rest Sunday. Mrs. Stills was a favorite and had a host of friends who mourn her death. Her sister, Mrs. Geo, W. Brooks, and her husband, Mr. Guy Stills, have the sympathy of the public in this, their sad hour. To the Denver Star: To the Pastors of the Colored Churches of the City of Denver and the State of Colorado: I make this appeal to you in the name of the Lord. That you had 183,000 fathers and grandfathers in the Civil war, who took an active part in the emancipation, in liberating 4,000,000 slaves, and of this 183,000, 40,000 gave their lives that you might go to school, learn to read and write, and serve God under your own vine and fig tree. Where would you have been if this hadn't taken place? Dear pastors, are you not willing to instruct your members and congregations to sacrifice one day, the 30th of May, to turn out on Decoration day in honor of these dear old fathers, whose bones were left to bleach on different battle fields? They shed their blood and gave their lives that you might enjoy these pleasures. All other races and nations celebrate and give honor for what their forefathers did for them. Columbus has a representation; George Washington has one. Abraham Lincoln one, and I would to God you would consider that no man has done as much for his race as the Negro soldier. Not only for his race, but he has done more for Old Glory, the American flag. His is the only race that never pulled it down or disgraced it. And since the flag was dipped in Negro blood, all other nations have recognized her, and now stand and wonder and look on. Will you as a race sacrifice frolick --- $2.00 1.00 .50 rate, all subscriptions must be paid ation.

At the postoffice in the city of Denver. ing and joy riding and turn out on Decoration day and strew flowers on your fathers' graves, in honor of those who gave their lives for you? Your brother in Christ and father in freedom. My days are numbered and the end will soon come. The Star recognizes this ardent appeal, but is unable to intelligently suggest a wise answer. That we ought, and certain of the sons and grandsons of our veteran fathers and grandfathers, do celebrate and hold in sacred memory and reverence their sacrifice, their valor and lives, goes without comment or criticism. But what can we (Negroes) do to more fully recognize this commemoration of our dead? Shall we institute a "separate" celebration at our churches, when black and white died alike on the common battle field? Shall we draw the line of discrimination because we cannot and do not take part in the services held at the cemetery? It is truly sad that always all the speakers are white and they have to "conduct" everything, but is it not better to suffer this omission or slight today, than to establish and fix permanently into the minds of the veteran patriots that patriotism has a color or line or that loyalty should be "separately" recognized? Is not the precedent a bad one to set ourselves? What kind of gathering could be assembled to give these veterans such a grand demonstration as they deserve? Where could it be had, what church or hall? No, while we recognize the strength of the plea of this soldier, yet we are willing to sacrifice a while longer, as no discrimination has yet been shown by the G. A. R. men in parades, in decoration of the graves, etc. Don't you see that "separate" services would mean "separate" parades, separate decorations, and before the Negro would realize it he would be "out in the cold, all alone" and to himself. The Star opposes the separation idea. We fought, bled and died as one; now let us celebrate and be honored as one. KEEP BOWEL MOVEMENT REGU LAR.

This Hotel has three stories; on the first floor is a buffet and billiard rooms, divided by a partition wall and in the hall at the front entrance is found an elegantly equipped cafe and dining room, where palatable meals and all the delicacies of the season are served a la carte. The second and third floors comprise thirty-two out-side rooms with plenty of sunlight and the best of ventilation. These rooms have been renovated, newly papered and painted and set with new furnishings. No old worn out second hand furnishings in The Marian Hotel; no bed bugs or other pestiferous insects to annoy the guests; each room has electric lights, steam heat and separate bath rooms for ladies and gentlemen, and every comfort to make the guest know their wants have been fully considered. There are also two private dining rooms on the second floor for the use of those who want to banquet or dine their friends privately.

The management invites the public to patronize his hotel. He guarantees that it is no dive, "honk-tonk" nor questionable resort, but a strictly first class hotel in the fullest sense of the meaning of a first-class hotel, and is such a place where a man may bring his family and enjoy their stay without anything to offend their sensitiveness.

New York.-The results of the work of the National League on Urban Conditions In New York City have been so satisfactory to the executive board of the league that it is urged to give to other cities of the country where colored people reside in large numbers the benefits of its experiences and accomplishments in New York city. The league has already taken into affiliation organizations in Richmond and Norfolk, Va., Savannah and Augusta, Ga., and St. Louis, and is now entering upon a vigorous campaign to help in the improvement of the work in these cities and the extension of the undertaking by sending the associate director, Eugene Kinckle Jones, to visit these cities. Mr. Jones will be away from New York city from the latter part of April until about May 25, and will deliver addresses in the interest of the league in Richmond and Norfolk, Va.; Augusta and Savannah, Ga., and other cities in the south.

Brief Review of What the Pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church In Washington Has Accomplished In the Ministry—Hint That He May Be Elected Bishop. Washington.-The Rev. Dr. I. N. Ross, the successful pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church in this city, was born in Hawkins county, East Tennessee, Jan. 22, 1856. His parents, with their ten children, migrated to Green county, O., in 1861. His father was a sturdy, painstaking, thrifty farmer. His mother was a woman of strong personality and Christian plety. Four of the five sons of these Christian parents became preachers. The Rev. Dr. I. N. Ross is, however, the only surviving member of the well known quartet of Ross preachers. His early life was spent on the farm and in attending the public school. The Rev. Dr. Ross' career as a minister extends over a wide area, having been over thirty-one years in the litter erancy of the A. M. E. church. His first charge was in Ohio, whence he was transferred to Pennsylvania, again to Ohio, next to Georgia and then to the District of Columbia; in all of which places he has held the leading charges. He joined the Ohio conference in 1880.

THE WORLD'S FINEST WRESTLER and improved. Some of them were relieved of their heavy indebtedness. Most prominent among those relieved were Brown's chapel, Allegheny City, where a mortgage debt of $3,858 of twenty-seven years' standing was entirely lifted. His work at Metropolitan A. M. E. church stands out, up to the present, in bold relief. He has installed steam heat and made other needed improvements on the interior and exterior of the church, reduced its bonded debt $2,000 and greatly increased the congregation. Another noteworthy feature in the administration of Dr. Ross' work is the awakening of the various auxiliaries of the church to a complete realization of the fact that they are a part of this organization and that each has a duty to perform in the effort for financial betterment. This is evidenced by the readiness of all in responding to the calls of the pastor at all times. The board feels proud to have such sterling qualities in its presiding officer. In the opinion of the members of the church, he is an ideal pastor, whose chief aim seems to be the welfare of his congregation. Knowing that Dr. Ross is a representative of the highest type of Christian manhood, the members feel that they can sincerely commend him, if the necessity or opportunity arises, to any church, any representative position, even to the highest ecclesiastical honor within the gift of the church, knowing full well that whatever position of honor, of trust or of ecclesiastical responsibility may fall to him during the coming years he will not be found wanting. He has been honored by the denomination in many ways. He has been a delegate to the general conference each session for the past twenty years and a trustee of Wilberforce university for a like period of time. This college conferred the degree of doctor of divinity upon the Rev. Mr. Ross in 1903. MISSIONARY BOARD MEETS. Reports Show Increase In Funds For A. M. E. Church Work.
