Denver Star

The "Denver Star" has the Largest Circulation among the Colored People—Get Wise and Advertise The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Number 82 And Gets ignition In Chicago. Why Not In Denver? Vote For. Dr. DePriest, Who Defender Furnishes Information. Race Stands United And Gets Recognition In Chicago. If In Chicago, Why Not In Denver? 3864 Women and 6507 Men Vote For Dr. DePriest, Who Has Plurality of 3647. Defender Furnishes Valuable Information. Never before in the history of Chicago politics has such an avalanche of votes carried to victory the successful candidate as did the votes on broken, and from this time on a place in the City Council will be conceded to the Afro-Americans in the Second Ward. The net result of the election of Alderman DePriest is the lesson of race adhesion. In this case it has been conclusively demonstrated that with anything like solidarity of action the Afro-American can and will accomplish great good, beneficial alike to all Let the Race therefore take heed and by their future conduct let the world see and know that here in Chicago the race spirit has taken root and is bearing fruit. Negro Challenges The Death Zone In Europe. Mr. Henry Mock, of Mingo Junction. Ohio, has invented a fender which when attached to ship can be telescoped or detached at will. It has five features: Mine destroyer, locater and life saver, from sinking or burning vessels, fender for reefs and rocks, fender for icebergs and light- erage for freight, etc. Secretary McDaniels is dickering with Mr. Mock on the fender which we hope will be met with the approval of the government. London. James Slim, a pure Negro and a native of Jamaica, has enlisted as a private in the Coldstream Guards. Before the war, it would have been impossible for a Negro to join a white regiment in England, let alone one of the proudest and most famous of the crack regiments. The fact of Slim's acceptance is a strong indication of the democratic effects of the war. Slim was in France when the war broke, and joined the French foreign legion. When he was wounded in battle, he was sent to a hospital where he expressed the wish to join Kitchener's new army. Word was sent to Kitchner with the result that he was allowed to enroll in the Coldstreams. Slim is now training with the reserve battalion at Windsor. Mme. C. J. Walker to Entertain for Daughter Indianapolis.—Mme. C. J. Walker, this country's noted hair culturist, will entertain Friday evening, April 16, in honor of her daughter, Mrs. L. M. Robinson, of New York City. The affair will be given at Pythian Temple. Many important society people of other cities have been invited. Several musical artists from Chicago will be present. Never before in the history of Chicago politics has such an avalanche of votes carried to victory the successful candidate as did the votes on Tuesday of last week, when William Hale Thompson triumphed in the mayoralty contest. The unprecented plurality of 140,000 tells the story of the popularity of this new Moses, who verily has come as the advance guard of prosperity. The vast voting population of Chicago had been aroused to a pitch unheard of in any municipal election. Every man and woman on the registry books had been canvassed and educated. When the polls opened on Tuesday morning the voters were like so many restless thoroughbred horses ready for the fall of the flag. Throughout the entire city the battle lines were sharply drawn. An army of workers were on the job, and from house to house they scampered for votes for their favorite candidates. In the Second Ward, where voters of the Afro American race in large numbers reside, the excitement was at fever heat. The race had one of its own on the ticket for Alderman. Every man and woman in this group was bent on landing Oscar DePriest in the City Council. Eleventh-hour roorbacks—scurrilous to a revolting degree—had been circulated among the white people by the Democrats. The race issue was directly raised, white men and women were admonished by these circular letters to "Rise up and throw off the yoke of threatened Negro domination." The effect was electrical among the Afro-American. They came to the front 11,000 strong for Oscar DePriest, and for the first time in the history of the city of Chicago a member of this race will sit in that august body. It was providential that the Democrats resorted to this form of inciting race feeling in their frantic efforts to elect their saloon-keeper candidate to the City Council. Nothing could have had a greater effect in stimulating the Afro-American voters to vigorous action and a solid front. Indeed, it may be said that this dastardly attempt to incite race bitterness on the part of the managers of Russell's campaign proved to be a blessing in disguise. For once in the history of the Afro-American voters they were practically solid behind their representative on the ticket. The devout wish long since cherished is now a consummation. The ice has been BE NOT MISLED. MAKEFACTPROVETHEIRSTORY Negro In White Regiment. Is such a system necessary now, if so, for what special purpose, especially after the organization and perfection of the "Colored Protective League? Will it directly or indirectly help or hurt the Negroe's cause; and whom will it benefit? Will it attempt to duplicate or supplement work done by the Colored Protective league, if so, why waste energy, time and cause division among Negroes? Why not co-operate with and not conspire against one already completed organization? Do not these academic statesmen know that if the "unit system" was necessary now, for the Negro it was necessary two years ago, and why was no such thing launched then and not wait until after the first league had been formed? The Star stirred the voters up and in order to be a big man in the eyes of the Caucasian office seeker and office holder, some kind of a club had to be formed, so that the Negro would appear divided. Mr. Voter cannot you see the fine political hand of one man at the State Capital and another whose name has not yet been in print but who expects to profit by the divided Negro? Damage, split, cripple or confuse the voters and the good citizens and their friends of the Colored Protective League and they individually will reap more from the Negroe's defeat than if the Negro had won? Let first things be first and let that be race unity and harmony and let all things be subordinate to that. You can see the absolute futility of such an organization among Negroes, especially at this time, and every method used every agency tried and employed must pass the test of utility and benefit to the Race and its usefulness must be judged in the light of the ultimate aim and substantial accomplishment. DENVER, GOLORADO, SATURDAY; APRIL 17, 1915 THINK DEEPLY AND WEIGH CAREFULLY. Is There Sanity or Justice In the Actions of the Belligerents? Belligerency is applied here in its highest application, recognizes freedom of speech and independence of action. While these rights are brought into strenuous activity when the necessity for unity is indisputable, and for the Godgiven reason of protecting the weak from the oppressions of the strong without the revolters setting forth some fundamental reason for so doing, yet they put them in a most ridiculous and discreditable position. The silly pretext that someone heads the organization seeking your cooperation whom you do not like or admire, or that someone is likely to obtain a position or positions your faction or friends seek is by no means an intelligent or tenable excuse. And when considered from a point of reason and justice to your social or racial group, the very life principle of their self respect and liber- Any person in this day and age of the world who has studied or observed the signs of the times will doubtlessly know now what the Star has previously charged, that the second organization, a deflection of the first, was formed for the purpose of opposing, disrupting, damaging and confusing some of our voters and citizens and parading themselves as leaders before the white man. We do not deny the right of any person or group of persons to organize and form any kind of a club for any kind of a purpose. The public has a right to question the propriety and inquire into the necessity and wisdom of such a move. The public has a right to know the concrete facts which caused such an extraordinary action especially when the call of March 30 stated that the club would devote itself to working for the advancement of civil and political rights of the members of the Denver League, and that no affiliation with any club would be tolerated. The Post said "Other meetings supporting to have as their objects the formation of a similar organization are declared by the colored people who will meet tonight, to have been called without the general consent or knowledge of the Negroes of this city etc." This meeting broke itself up and taken from them) and self preservation cries aloud to you as a portion of that racial or social group to join in the rescue. And if you refuse to do so, because you have not sufficient group love and respect, and selfishly devoid of dynamic dimensions as to sink superficial personal dislikes and desires, you thereby aid the oppressor in fastening the stigma of inferiority upon those of your social group whose capitalized votes you seek to exploit to secure position and emoluments and pay them with betrayal. If those who refuse to consider the rights of the Colored Citizens of Denver from a point of community of interests think that they are conserving their personal and selfish interests in securing positions, by creating chaos, will find in the near future that they have barked up the wrong tree. the meeting of the 31st almost made a split, as one person threatened to form "another club." At a private Star Chamber session at Attorney Lewis' office, Attorney Lewis was chosen president. Now out of that chaotic disorder came the idea to greet the people with, the "Colored Citizen League" whose main object had shifted from the first "to establish an organized voting unit." Let us put this "Organized voting unit" under a microscope and see if we can see any hidden motives. At this time what does that mean to the Negro who is and has been mistreated, robbed, humiliated and discriminated against? What relief, if any, either temporary or permanent, can be obtained from the commissioners, if every Negro church, club, society or body was organized and used the voting unit system? Organized voting unit means that where there are delegates to a convention, conference or caucus in a district, ward or precinct, that the majority of the delegates vote the minority, as a unit—one vote, regardless as to the views of the minority. In other words cinch the majority and you strangle the minority. What relief will this afford the peculiar conditions of the Negro? How can the noblest and highest in our race ever rise to the top or push front, as handicapped as we are already? Don't you see to colonize and vote as a unit may defeat a worthy aspirant or object, rendering the grafter more powerful to easily control Negroes and sell them out? You can take it from me as a certain and serious fact, and from one who is suffciently conversant with the powers that be, that there will be but one scant fare for those who go out and assist in the building up a machine at the City hall by a division of the Colored vote whom that power desires to assist in removing the disabilities they now suffer. There is more significance than mere child's play when the Peoples Sunday Alliance and the Jefferson League have allied themselves with the progressive branch of the Colored Republicans, the above organizations have for years bore the burden financially and otherwise in battling Jim-Crowism. There is a great deal that can be truthfully said about a number of the officers making up the personel of their organization State Historical & Biographical History Society he Denver Star FIVE CENTS A COPY. if we desired to offset petty dislikes entertained by some of you for one of our officers by producing indisputable facts against a number of them for long years of moral obliquity, and perfidious treachery against the colored people. We should not descend to this species of stench-spewing, but rather let us seriously think upon the duty we owe to the present and the coming generations and stimulate a love for self respect and liberty by unifying our forces and like sensible christian men and women go forth and accomplish the things demanded by all self respecting liberty-loving people. It is not yet to late for you to appoint a committee to confer with the Colored Protective League. and I am sure they will be meet with the deepest and sincerest courtesy by a similar committee. Do not let those who among you make petty profits out of chaos, deter you from an action that will speak louder for our claims of equality than mere protests. When white citizens realize that we can sink petty differences and stand together for all that civilization can give us, all that is due us—our battle for complete equality is half won. "Here's freedom to him who would read, Here's freedom to him who There's none e'er feared, that the truth, would be heard; Save him whom the truth would indict." (The Crisis). Dr. Paul Crosthwaite, a young colored dentist, made the second highest avergae in a recent civil service examination in Chicago. His mark was 81.9 per cent. Dr. Crosthwaite is an assistant in the office of Dr. C. E. Bentley. Harry E. Burris, a colored mail carrier of Rock Island, Iowa, was given a banquet recently by the mail carriers of his postoffice, on the completion of twenty-five years continuous service. The postmaster and his assistant were present. Suits for civil rights in restaurants have been won in New York City, Los. Angeles and in Cleveland, Ohio. In the latter cases $50 was recovered and in the first case $200. E. B. Ceruti, of Los Angeles, and Harry,Davis, of Cleveland, were two of the successful lawyers. The Young Women's Christian Association has recently started a colored branch in Indianapolis and has interested 600 women. In Washington, D.

In St. Louis, Mo., the colored branch has raised $9,300 among colored people for a new home and a white friend added $10,000. Church News NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, Twenty-fourth Avenue and Ogden St., David E. Over, D. D., Minister. Residence, 2356 Humboldt St. Our series of gospel meetings closed Tuesday night and Dr. Jones left Thursday for Colorado Springs, where he will spend Sunday, and then on to the Pacific coast. Undoubtedly the series has brought a great blessing to Zion in deepening the spiritual life of the people. God used the sermons of Dr. Jones to search and sift Zion as he has rarely done before. Many have been brought closer to the Lord and are prepared for a closer walk than they have ever known. Among those who came into the church, twenty-five were received for baptism. Mrs. Edwin Seldon, of Broadway Baptist church, one of the leading missionary workers of the city, addressed the ladies of the Mission Society last Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Branton Tule, a field worker, who has spent about fifteen years in Africa, was also present and gave a short address. With these two women of experience and power present the meeting was necessarily one of rich interest and helpfulness. The pastor will preach Sunday morning from the subject, "The Word of God." All the friends are invited to be present. The rite of baptism will be administered at the close of the service. Next week the activities of the congregation will take up the regular schedule. A full page of announcements may be had from the Church Bulletin at the Sunday service. Mr. Jesse Williams, son of Sister Priscilla Williams, who died last week, was buried from the church Tuesday afternoon. The family has the sympathy of the entire community. The infant daughter of Sister Hattie Smith was buried Thursday afternoon from the home. The friends will remember to comfort our sister through their prayers. There has been much improvement among the sick of the congregation during the last few weeks. Among those who are yet confined are Mother Roley, Sister Arbucle and Sister Todd. Others are convalescent. Next Thursday evening, at 8:00 o'clock, the famous glee club of the Tuskegee Institute, Booker Washington's school, will sing at Zion for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A.

Our spring revival is now in progress and already signs of showers of blessing appear. Under the forceful gospel sermons by Dr. J. P. Howard, than whom the race has not produced a more successful evangelist, increasingly large crowds are being drawn to the meetings and already a number of persons have been led to confess Christ and others who were on the back ground, have renewed their covenant. The Billy Sunday cam paign had a most wholesome effect upon other races, but our people were, practically speaking, untouched. It is hoped that the coming of Dr. Howard to Denver will be the means of a great shaking up of our people here and will be the means of adding to the membership of all of our churches. The Lord used Dr. Howard in a most remarkable way in St. Louis, Mo., where in a two months campaign more than three hundred persons were received into the church. It is our prayer that the Lord will accomplish as much through him in Denver. Dr. Howard's sermon topics for tomorrow will be as follows: 11:00 a.m., "God's Great Love." 8:00 p. m., "Repentance." Since a great outpouring of the public is expected at both services, comfortable seats can be assured to those only who come early. Our Easter rally will be concluded tomorrow when every member who has not already complied fully with his obligation, is expected to report his assessment in full. Remember, friends, that excuses are not negotiable. If you want to put your officers in position to pay off the church's indebtedness, you must make a sacrifice. Be loyal to your colors.

Va.—Harris Barrett, who lied early on the morning of March 26, was one of the most useful and respected colored men on the lower Virginia peninsula. He was graduated from Hampton institute in 1865, and until he was stricken with paralysis in July, 1913, he served the normal school most efficiently and faithfully as clerk, bookkeeper, teacher and cashier. Mr. Barrett was born in Henderson. Ky., in 1865. He entered Hampton institute at the age of seventeen, and by dint of hard work won the respect of his teachers and associates. Commenting on "Some Results of Hampton's Work," an official normal school publication says: "We find that the oldest organized effort by Hampton graduates to encourage land and home buying among Negroes is the People's Building and Loan association of Hampton. Harris Barrett, class of 1885, was largely instrumental as secretary in earning for this association its reputation as one of the safest financial institutions in Hampton. "Since its charter was granted in 1890, when it began business with twelve stockholders and eighteen shares of stock, there has been no violation of trust, and every obligation has been promptly met. Now (1915) it has 675 stockholders, owning 3,000 shares. Its paid up capital stock is $155,633.87, of which Negroes alone own $119,500. Its business is confined to loaning money to stockholders, all loans, being secured by first mortgages on real estate or by a lien on the stock. "After paying 7 per cent dividends on its stock for twenty-five years, it has built up a reserve fund of nearly $25,000. It has loaned over $507,196.97 to Negroes near Hampton and has assisted them in acquiring more than 490 houses and lots." Harris Barrett's influence was always exerted on the side of good order and Christian living. The funeral service was held in Hampton Institute Memorial church at 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, March 28. The spacious church was literally crowded to the doors with colored people who came to pay their "tender offices of faith and love" to an able and honorable member of their race, of whom white and colored men alike never spoke a word reflecting on his character. Dr. Herbert B. Turner, chaplain of Hampton institute, who had known Harris Barrett for many years, outlined the story of services rendered the community by Hampton's well liked graduate and efficient cashier. He said: "We honor the man not alone for his ability, but also for his noble character. He was one of the ablest and noblest men that Hampton institute ever graduated. The People's Building and Loan association of Hampton was started by Harris Barrett not only as a medium for making safe investments, but also for the upbuilding of his people in the Hampton community. Today 500 colored people own their own homes in Hampton as a result of this man's foresight and wisdom in the management of business affairs. He was a man of truth, a man of rare self control, a man of gentleness and a man of a deeply religious nature. He had acquired the spirit of General Armstrong, who was strong, able and kindly." Dr. H. B. Turner and Rev. Laurence Fennlinger, both of the Hampton institute, and Rev. J. A. Nottingham, pastor of the Bethel A. M. E. church. Hampton conducted the impressive funeral service. A baritone solo was sung by Paige I. Lancaster. The Hampton institute choir, under the direction of R. Nathaniel Dett, sang "Abide With Me" and "Peace, Perfect Peace." The Hampton institute band, under the leadership of Professor William M. Q. Tessmann, and the school battalion of 500 cadets escorted the funeral cortege from the institute grounds to Hampton. The members of the Excelsior Dramatic Club are rehearsing two excellent plays to be given some time in May, viz: "An Unconditional Surrender" and "A Noble Outcast." Mrs. Lula Jackson, manager. CHURCH FEEDS THE HUNGRY. Ebenezer Baptist Congregation in Chicago Shows No Race Prejudice. White men and colored men alike are being fed daily at the diner, which the Ebenezer Baptist church in Chicago, one of the largest churches with a congregation of colored people in the city, is providing for those whom winter and war depression in business have thrown out of work. In fact, the whites outnumber the blacks by four to one at the hour of the free meals served five days a week by the women of the church, according to those in charge. The dinners, which are substantial and well cooked, cost the church about $20 a day to feed about 350 men. This is a service which the church tries to give for one month out of every year, says the pastor, the Rev. John F. Thomas. Last year 3,752 white men and 1,002 colored men, in all, were fed. One of the white churches of the city which carries on a similar work bars colored men from its charity, but the Rev. Mr. Thomas' committee of women welcome any one who is penniless and hungry, regardless of color, creed or race. The Delaware Conference Convenes.

THE NEW WAV 50 65 SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson III.—Second Quarter, For April 18, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Ps. xxiii—Memory Verses, Ps. xxiii—Golden Text, Ps. xxiii, 1—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This most familiar of all the psalms to many people is as farreaching as any and will have its complete fulfillment only in the kingdom when Isa. xi, 10, 11; Jer. xxiii, 5, 6; Ezek. xxxvii, 21-28, shall be fulfilled in the eyes of all-nations, with every other prediction concerning Israel's future glory. All the true shepherds and shepherdesses of the Bible are suggestive of Christ and Israel, with some reference also to Christ and His church. He is primarily the Shepherd of Israel, leading Joseph like a flock, dwelling between the cherubim (Ps. lxxx, 1). He is also the Good Shepherd giving His life for the sheep and giving eternal life to His sheep, the sheep of His pasture (John x, 11, 27, 28; Ps. c, 3). He is the Great Shepherd risen from the dead, by whom God works in His people that which is well pleasing in His sight (Heb. xiii, 20, 21). He is also the chief Shepherd, who, at the resurrection of the just, will give the crowns to those who have won them and among others the crown of glory to those who have faithfully fed the flock (I Pet. v, 14). All the shepherds, such as Abel, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and David, were wondrously typical of the Good Shepherd, and the women also, such as Rachel and Zipporah, who kept sheep, give us much to meditate upon, but all centers upon Him who is altogether lovely and of whom our souls say, "My meditation of Him shall be sweet; I will be glad in the Lord" (Song v, 16; Ps. clv, 34). The sequences of Scripture are most interesting and helpful studies, and in Psalm xxii, xxiii, xxiv, we have one of the most wonderful. Ps. xxii tells very fully of His sufferings; as if written by an eyewitness; speaks of His hands and feet pierced. His garments divided and lots cast upon His vesture, and quotes some of the very words flung at Him as He hung upon the cross, but it also tells of the resurrection and the kingdom. Ps. xxii suggests Israel's glory in the millennial kingdom, and Ps. xxiv tells of the King of glory ruling the whole world in righteousness. No one can truly say "The Lord is my Shepherd" who has not seen Him dying in their stead, bearing their sins in His own body and received Him as their own Saviour (Gal. ii, 20; I Pet. ii, 24; John i, 12; Eph. i, 6, 7). Then only can we be sure that we shall never want any good thing, for He who spared not His own Son will with Him also freely give us all things (Ps. xxxiv, 9, 10; lxxxiv, 11; Rom. vili, 32). It is impossible that such a Shepherd could withhold from any of His sheep anything really good for them. Pastures of tender grass and waters of quietness (Ps. ii, margin), such would He have us enjoy always if we would only keep close to Him and not stray away like a lost sheep, choosing our own pasture and causing Him to grieve over us, saying, "Oh, that my people had bearkened unto me and Israel had walked in my ways" (Ps. ixxxi, 11-16). Although none of His sheep can ever perish, they may wander and need restoration, as when David said, "I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant," or again, "Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation" (Ps. cxix, 176; ii, 12). He will be glad to lead us in the paths of righteousness if we are only willing to be thus led. Thus only can we forestake the kingdom and know something of its peace and quietness and assurance. The expression "the shadow of death" is just one word and is found ten times in Job, four times in the Psalms and four times in the prophets. It may refer to the whole time of our sojourn here for we may be said to be always in the shadow of death, but the believer can always say, "I will fear no evil," for to the child of God death is always gain and very far better (Phill. 4, 21, 23). Death is never spoken of as the coming of Christ, for, although death brings gain to the believer, it is always an enemy, the last enemy to be destroyed (I Cor. vx. 26). In life or death, if we are His, He is always with us to guide, comfort, sustain, protect us and assures us that He will never leave us or fail us (Deut. xxxl, 8; Isa. xli, 10; Heb. xli, 5). The table in the presence of enemies will have a great fulfilment at the beginning of the next age, when He will come in glory for Israel's deliverance. It will then be a feast of fat things. when He will take away the rebuke of His people from off all the earth (Isa. xxv. 6-9). For the believer there is always a feast, and we may be day by day satisfied with the fatness of His house and drink of the river of His pleasures (Ps. xxxvl. 8). It is a reproach to the Lord when His people are seen seeking satisfaction at the world's table. When truly anointed with the Holy Spirit we shall so enjoy the Lord and His fullness that there shall be an overflow for others, but how few seem to overflow! Some one has said that with the Lord going before (John x. 4) and with goodness and mercy following (verse 0) we are cared for as only heaven can care for us. Then to think of our forever home, from which we shall go no more out (John xiv. 1-3); only unbelief can make us sad. May our hearts ever respond to "Let us be glad and reject and give honor to Him" (Boy. xix. 7). PROGRESS NOTED AT MT. CARMEL Bapist Church in Philadelphia Has Able Leader. Some Achievements of the Rev. Thomas D. Atkins as a Minister and How the People Are Being Helped Through Religious Influences in the City of Bretherly Love. By GEORGE F. KING. Philadelphia.—The good work accomplished by the churches among our people in this city during the past winter is indicative of able ministerial leadership. Among the finest type of men who have a thorough consciousness of their duty to the multitude and not catering to the passions and prejudices of the thousands whom they serve is Rev. Thomas D. Atkins, D. D., who has gained a wide reputation as an orator, preacher and leader of the laboring element of the race wherever he has gone. With the Afro-American in this city, as it is in every section of the country, there are peculiar conditions to be met and overcome and great principles to be maintained. Dr. T. D. Atkins of this city, with a heart of sympathy for JOHN H. HARRIS BRV. THOMAS D. ATKINS, D. D. all great movements for humanity, is practically reaching thousands of our people and disarming their fears, and plainly evidencing his ability to combat for the best interest of the race. He has built three Baptist churches, which is a striking revelation of his ability as a spiritual leader and able financier. Under the late Dr. A. Shepard, who achieved wonderfully for the Baptist denomination in North Carolina and his race. Dr. Atkins, who had been endowed with a liberal preparation, began his career in the ministry with energy of purpose and character in Charlotte, N. C. Dr. Atkins' capacity of endurance and persevering devotion for farreaching plans brought him into prominence to the extent he served his denomination with market success in Greensboro, N. C., and a large number of the race in that section of North Carolina felt the power of his energies. The people reluctantly gave him up when he was called to the First Baptist church of Charlottesville, Va. He returned to his native state, where there was a vast amount of toll required of him. With his efficiency and courage he vigorously begun his work and entered into the religious, economic and social uplift of the race in Charlottesville section of Virginia to the extent there was a remarkable increase in improvements among our people. In this field as a journalist and founder and editor of the Charlotteville Messenger, he gained nationwide prominence as a writer, to the extent that a number of leading white dailies and weeklies quoted his editorials. He stimulated our people in the towns and rural districts of this beautiful section of Virginia as they had never been before, which resulted in much benefit to them. He promoted the most successful industrial fair that was held in Halifax county, Va. He influenced thousands of Afro-Americans to regard manual labor, proper support of the church, school, commendable enterprises and other movements as the true discipline of our people, and by this our people were elevated. After considering a call to pastor in Steelton, Pa., he finally accepted, despite numerous petitions from ministers of all denominations and citizens of both races in Charlottesville to remain in that field. He stamped his impress upon the Negroes of Steelton and Harrisburg and stimulated them to greater activities, causing more Negroes to purchase homes in Steelton than ever before in the history of the town. Mount Carmel Baptist church, this city, which was in need of a strong leader after a protracted period of endeavors, finally procured Dr. Atkins as its pastor. Now he is erecting an edifice which, when completed, will be a splendid tribute to Christian greatness. In this city he is causing a noble sphere of thought and action among hundrade of our people for the enduring good of a community. This young man, born in Winchester, Va., now a part of Richmond, is one of the members of our ministry who are trying to do their plain duty.
