Infamous Race Prejudice Agitator To Be Shown at The Olympic Theatre For An Extended Run Beginning Sunday, August 29 Denver Next, People Get Bus
St. Louis, Mo.—The "Birth of a Nation," Thos. Dixon's Infamous picture has been booked to show at the Olympic Theater for an extended run beginning, Sunday, Aug. 27. Dixon is the author of "The Clansman," and his late picture, "The Birth of a Nation," deals with factitious ideas concerning conditions existing between the white and colored people prior to and just after the Civil War. Mayors of all the large cities in the country have refused to permit it to be shown. It has been pronounced as dangerous, an agitator of race prejudice, low and degrading, and a breeder of race hatred. The Argus sounded a warning a few months ago on the coming of this picture and at that time the authorities promised to suppress it if objectionable. Some time ago, Miss Charlotte Rumbold, recreation head of the Park Division, in filing an objection to the play before the Board of Police Commissioners, said: "It deals with the Reconstruction Period in the South, and because St. Louis is a city where the sentiment between the North and South was narrowly divided, it would be inadvisable to present such show."
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which objected to the presentation of "The Birth of a Nation" on the ground that scenes in which white girls were attacked cast a reflection on the colored race, now is preparing a motion picture of Civil War times that will act as an answer to "The Birth of a Nation," and defend the colored race.
Mrs. Charles M. Studin, one of the directors of the association, said yesterday that the association had conceived the project several weeks ago and had engaged Miss Elaine Sterne, a professional movie writer, to prepare a scenario. This is now ready, he said; and the association is trying to interest capital to back the venture.

Masons To Take Salt Lake City
Grand Lodge Meets September 7, 8, and 9. Big Demonstration Proposed. Denver Boosters Go to 39th Session.
THE thirty-ninth annual communication of the District Grand Lodge of the Masons of Colorado and Jurisdiction, will convene at Salt Lake City, beginning with Sept. 7, and continue in session three days. The Mason spirit in the West is growing stronger and stronger each year and the great good that the principles of free masonry, which are as boundless as the universe and as deep as the sea have done, cannot only be told by the widows, orphans, the weak and unfortunates, but also by the various communities where they live and work and become silent monuments of praise because of their glorious
M.
deeds. No man liveth unto himself is not only shown in their dealings in the Grand Lodge, but wherever a true Mason lives aed dwells, lofty ideals are cultivated. Useful things are sought out and good associations are nurtured and cultivated. So this Grand Lodge of Masons will make the greatest record it has ever made in its history. We see bright, young men of keen mettle, stalwart in body, ffrm in mind

THE MURDER OF FRANK
Shocking and revolting, but not surprising, is the final scene in the awful tragedy of the famous Frank case. It is no more than what Georgia by her past deeds has led us to expect of her. Because of its nation-wide publicity, the Frank case, with its tragic culmination, may help to teach the civilized world the awful truth about Georgia. Already may be noted the fruits of the fierce publicity given to this her latest of numerous crimes. It has taken first position over the war news. The deed has been denounced, by white editors, as blacker than anything that has been perpetrated within the war zone of Europe.
THE thirty-ninth annual communication of the District Grand Lodge of the Masons of Colorado and Jurisdiction, will convene at Salt Lake City, beginning with Sept. 7, and continue in session three
Shocked and disappointed in this evidence that the lynching spirit cannot be confined only to the lawless murder of black men, but must, as the Amsterdam News has preached these many years, spread until the victims include even those of the lynching race, the white editors of both the North and South have been worked into a frenzy of fear and apprehension by this latest exhibition of Georgia barbarity. They feign surprise at the bloody deed and call for action swift and terrible.

Perhaps not as severely as the white editors. But then. we have almost got seasoned to the shocks sent out from Georgia at short intervals. So many of our men and of late, even our women, have been summarily disconnected with the world that we dare not be shocked at every lynching bee for fear of the effect on our heart—or on our loyalty to the Stars and Stripes. Yet in spite of the fact that we know the white editors have heard of more shocking cases of mob law in Georgia than even the Frank case, we reiterate we can understand the shock. A white man is now the victim. But why the surprise? These ominipotent editors, who can read so far into the future of other matters, did they not see the ultimate result of Southern mob rule? Surely they are too intelligent to have missed the handwriting on the wall. We take it then that only fools and hypocrites can claim surprise at this logical culmination of unrestrained mob violence. Law must be firmly and impartially upheld or its foundations will one day falter and fall, crashing the entire fabric to destruction.
Had other murderous mobs been punished the Frank disgrace would never have blackened Georgia and shocked our white contemporaries. But law and order have been lynched before without any serious consequences to the cowardly mobs. Colored men are lynched nearly every day ON SUSPICION. The innocence of many dead and forever gone, has since been proved. But not yet punishhowever, has been the crime of their murderers. In this case, it is notable that there seems to be some serious promise of action. An outraged country and "surprised" white press demand it.
Whether or no Georgia will have moral courage enough to eradicate this stain remains to be seen. In the meantime we might get Africa and other so-called uncivilized countries to send missionaries to civilize the barbarians of Georgia.—Amsterdam News

NOTED CHAMPION OF RACE FREEDOM
Thrilling Story of Nat Turner's Great Courage.
VISION OF A FREE NATION.
Man Who Struck Effective Blow at Slaveholding Oligarchy in the South Was Native of Virginia—Quotations From His Speech on the Day of His Execution.
BY JOHN E. BRUCE "GRIT."
Yonkers, N. Y.-Many years ago I stood with uncovered and bowed head on the spot in Southampton county Va., where glorious old Nat Turner was executed for daring to strike a blow for liberty for himself and for his race. I shall never forget the sensation of that moment as long as I live. Nat Turner was Virginia's greatest Negro and was one of the three Negroes in America—Vesey and Gabriel being the two others—who, almost single handed and alone, shook the slave oligarchy of the south from its center to its circumference.
If we had now a few Negroes with the courage and manhood of those men and fewer Judas to betray them, as each of these were, the great battle for manhood rights which we are now waging against the forces of evil and error would soon be won.
Pauline Carrington Bowle, in her book "Their Shadows Before," deals with the Turner insurrection in Southampton county in a most engaging and interesting manner. Turner is shown to have been a man of wonderful genius for organization and possessed a magnetic influence over his followers. He was far above the average of his race, for he could read and write and understood something of chemistry. He was not the kind of man to be a slave, for men of his mental grasp could not long endure the galling chains of slavery. Turner seemed to be able to see the end from the beginning. And whenever he spoke of the wrongs of his race men shuddered while professing to scout at his "fantical utterances."
A Mr. Mortimer, a northern man, who visited Nat Turner in jail on the morning of the day of his execution, said to him, "Don't you see now that you were wrong, that what you thought was your mission was a failure?" Quick as a flash Turner answered: "Was Jesus' effort a failure? They killed him too." "The work of Christ lived on and was accomplished after him," said Mr. Mortimer. Rising to his full height, Turner replied: "And mine is just begun. I say to you what was begun in blood shall be accomplished by blood."
The closing scene in the life of this remarkable Negro is thus described by an eyewitness: "We were directly opposite the scaffold, which hitherto had been out of our range of vision. Fascinated with the horror of this sight, I gazed fixedly at the instrument of death as motionless as a statue. There was a stir at its base, and in an instant Nat Turner, followed by Mr. Lawson, quickly mounted the few steps to the platform and with a commanding gesture faced the multitude. 'Masters, may I speak?'
"Gag him!" called a brutal voice from the crowd. But the sheriff called for silence. The shouts and jeers died into a hush, and the lord, clear voice continued: What is done this day will not alter what will come to pass. That which I was sent to do I have done, but the end is not yet. Three times ten years shall come to pass before deliverance shall be. In a vision of the future the Lord has shown me, Nathaniel his prophet, a freed nation and a river of blood. White men, there shall arise one of your race in a far land, and blood shall be shed, and the bonds shall be broken. I have done my work. What the Lord begins he shall surely finish. I saw battles, fire, blood, freedom."
Turner's prophecy that "three times ten years shall come to pass before deliverance shall be" was fulfilled almost to the letter. He was executed in 1831 or 1833, and in 1863 deliverance did come to his race. So that his vision of a freed nation and a river of blood, of battles, fire and freedom is now a part of the contemporaneous history of America. His prophetic words, "White men, there shall arise one of your race in a far land and blood shall be shed and the bonds shall be broken," show him to have been wiser and keener of vision than the rabble that cried "Gag him!"
For one of their race did arise in a far land, who in the words of the Hebrew prophet, "Loosed the bond of the captive and let the oppressed go free" after a river of blood had been shed on the battlefields of the nation, whose own life went out in blood at the hands of a cowardly assassin, and the deep damnation of his taking off set the world in tears. Nat Turner was no fanatic; he was a seer, and, like old John Brown of Osawattomie, the eyes of his understanding were full orbed. He suffered martyrdom for the cause of freedom and died as only martyrs can die in the cause of liberty and righteousness. The time will come when the names of John Brown and Nat Turner will be among the most illustrious in American history. Posterity will accord them a place in the temple of fame—among the immortals who were not born to die.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS COVER WIDE SCOPE
Old North State Convention Adds New Features. AIMS TO REACH THE MASSES
Extension Work Movement Suggested by Dr. A. M. Moore at Recent Annual Meeting Held at Washington, N. C., Creates Great Interest—State Organizer to Study Conditions.
Washington, N. C.-The host of Sunday school workers from among the 200,000 Baptists of our race in this state present at the recent annual meeting of the state Sunday school convention made a fine showing in their work. Dr. A. M. Moore, president of the convention, presided over the sessions, which were largely attended.
Among the noted religious and educational leaders who took an active part were Rev. Dr. C. S. Brown, principal of the Winton (N. C.) Normal institute and president of the Lott Carey foreign mission convention; Dr. A. W. Pegues, head of the Institute For Deaf and Blind Persons at Raleigh; Colonel James H. Young and many prominent women of our race.
One of the noteworthy features of the convention was the enthusiastic and pronounced approval of the great movement started by Dr. Moore for the good of the race in North Carolina. Dr. Moore, although a layman, has given his life to the furthering of religious and public activities, and as secretary and treasurer of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association is doing a remarkable work for racial advancement in the state. He has made

PRESIDENT A. M. MOORE
a careful study of conditions along the line of the public school system, which may be shown in the recommendations outlined below.
At the last session of the State Teachers' association held at Winston-Salem, N. C., Dr. Moore started his propaganda for better rural schools. He has procured the assistance of the business and professional element in every section of the state. The association adopted the plans of Dr. Moore and elected a strong board composed of representative business and professional men to push the work. There are several prominent white persons on the board, among them being Hon. J. G. Joyner, superintendent of education of North Carolina.
The aims of the extension department of the North Carolina State Teachers' association, as set forth by Dr. Moore, are the following:
A public school improvement league organized in every school district in the state
A good public school building in every district in the state.
The patrons of every public school co-
vert authority to make the school better
An active, competent, working teacher in charge of every school in the state.
A united effort by all denominations for the advancement of public school.
A campaign waged in every county against preventable diseases which are destroying the Negro population and which produces a burden and menace to public welfare.
A united effort among both colored and white citizens of our state to solve the problem of Negro farm extension workers as provided for by the Smith-Lever bill.
To secure a more equitable division of the public school fund by reason of the impetus given to the improvement of the schools by the self help and sacrifice of the colored people themselves.
A paid organizer who shall study local conditions and organize in each county a board whose duty shall be to organize the school improvement rallies for the benefit of the low local school and give needed information as to the present means afforded by counties and special funds and how much help may be obtained.
Within a short time a state organizer will be at work co-operating with religious and fraternal bodies through the state. This is an index of what such religious bodies in North Carolina are contributing for the uplift of the masses.

BAPTIST HOST TO MEET IN CHICAGO
Annual Session of the National Body Begins Sept. 8. DR. JORDAN'S PEACE PLEA
Secretary of Foreign Mission Board Issues Open Letter In Which He Offers Remedy For the Present Discord Among the Leaders—Explains Laws Governing the Convention.
Philadelphia.—The thirty-fifth annual meeting of the national Baptist convention will be held in Chicago beginning on Wednesday, Sept. 8. With the view of harmonizing the leaders of the various departments of the work, the Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the foreign mission board of the convention, with headquarters at 624 South Eighteenth street, this city, has issued the following open letter to the members of the organization. Dr. Jordan says:
In the exciting controversy about the "commission form of government" and "chartering of the national convention" now going on our brethren have said some hard things about each other, and that in print too. "Liar," "breaking in jail," "deceivers" and such like we have called one another, but no one has suggested that we pray. Like a vulture tugging at the vitals of its prey, oh, how we have torn each other! Shall it be said that "it is in keeping with their racial traits?" There are two sets of brethren, holding opposing opinions as to the best method of running the affairs of the national Baptist convention—both meaning well. Knowing we are all here to stay "until death doth us part." why not think first before harshly judging one another? Read and consider these seven facts; do what is best for the cause:
Fact 1.—As for the commission, there is none. It is the executive board of the national Baptist convention with all the rights, powers and privileges of an executive board. Its creation and power were given by the national Baptist convention at Nashville and Philadelphia.
Fact 2.—This executive board is composed of the vice presidents of the various states, most of whom are presidents of their state conventions and are usually the best men of the states; the officers of the national convention, chairman and secretary of the various boards of the national Baptist convention. These med have no personal ends to gain; in fact, they are elected and only hope to have transmitted to our denomination for religious property, property and good will, accumulated by these boards as planned by the national Baptist convention, for carrying out the purpose for which it was organized.
Fact 3.—There are only two of our boards known as "national Baptist boards." Others, including our women, are the board or auxiliary of the national Baptist convention. Those known as "national Baptist boards" are the creatures of the national Baptist convention also. The officers and members of the two national Baptist boards never intended disloyalty, but it just happened so. When it happened, like confiding children, we did not correct it.
Fact 4-By a careful reading of the charter it will be seen:
A. The charter says in plain words what our present constitution implies.
B. At present the national convention provides for the election of every member of the boards, through the state delegations, at its annual sessions.
C. The boards so elected when organized (and this was intended to be done at the annual session of the convention) elect their officers. This has been done, followed by all but one board.
D. All property owned by the boards is the property of their creators—the national Baptist convention—and under our constitution the convention can order its disposal in the interest of any debts owed on any work so controlled by said board.
Fact 5.—The charter does not provide Washington as headquarters, as has been stated by a number of writers, but the motion "shall meet anywhere the body may desire" by or bylaws, just as it has been doing for thirty-four years.
B. The charter is not "so drastically that it does not provide, after all, that the national convention shall have a constitution and bylaws; telling how its officers are to be elected and how a place and time of meeting shall be selected.
Fact 6.—The seven incorporations are not perpetual; they die when we meet and adopt our constitution and bylaws. With us, the directors will be known as the ex-board of the national Baptist convention. We can let the selection of the board re-enter when a man fails of election by his state delegate president of the national Baptist convention, whoever succeeds him, by the vote of his state, becomes a member of the executive committee, so with officers of the convention and boards; failure of election will fill their places with those who succeed them. Is not this fair? Then our readers lose their heads over thoughtlessness from the pens of what seems prayerless soem? In your patience possess ye your souls" are the words of Jesus.
Fact 7.—The convention can decide in its new constitution that no president shall succeed himself at all, or not more than twice, or they can agree that he may be appointed to the office and a new man be elected. The national election at Chicago can enact that the executive committee shall consist of twenty-one members, seven of whom shall be elected every year, thus allowing fourteen to hold over from year to year. The national convention can say by its new constitution that all people for one purpose shall be diverted to another. And, indeed, to do otherwise will be dishonest.
Now, brethren, let us cease biting and devouring each other. Let us prayerfully "ask wisdom of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not," and go to Chicago, not with carnal weapons nor in our own strength, but as servants of the Most High—go as men serving the interest of our people; as men looking to the God of the present and the future for guidance. Caesar and Napoleon were great men. Where are they? Only dust. Only the good or evil they did lives after them. Oh, so many big talking men whom we knew
in associations and conventions, men what loved "prominence among the brethren," are gone and not remembered by us among whom they caused discord!
All of these things are matters of the national convention, of which each of us is a humble member, so why lose our heads, show ourselves unfit, to serve as pastors or in any other capacity as leaders among an all too excitable people, who will love, hate, help or hinder—largely on our advice? There is power in prayer. We tell our people about Daniel and the Hebrews being delivered through prayer. Now, as men, let us practice what we preach, and at Chicago preach what we should practice at home.
There is a story told of Mr. D. L. Moody, telling how he was led into international service. The fire in Chicago had destroyed his church and scattered his people. While waiting for the finishing of his new building he went to Europe to hear the leading preachers and to study their methods of work. On one Sunday morning he was invited to spend the day with one of the largest churches. At the foremom service things seemed cold; everything was draggy until the great preacher regretted that he had an engagement for evening service. However, on returning to the evening service he found the house crowded. The services began about as the morning services ended, but along about the middle of the sermon the atmosphere completely changed.
At the close an appeal was made to the unsaved, and to the utter surprise of the preacher a large number arose in response to the invitation. Mr. Moody was confused and concluded that the people did not understand him. So he asked again, "All of you who wish to become Christians please retire to the adjoining room." A number of those retiring became Christians, and a great revival broke out, resulting in the conversion of hundreds of happy souls. Mr. Moody sought the cause of this unusual awakening and traced it to the room of an invalid member of the church, a Christian worker who for years had prayed that Mr. Moody might preach in her church.
On that particular Sunday, having heard after the morning service from her sister that Mr. Moody had spoken that morning, this Christian intercessor, refusing to eat her midday meal, gave herself to prayer during the entire afternoon. It was the final tug in the long pull of years of intercession. It followed that this not only brought great blessings to this community, but placed Mr. Moody into a position of international leadership, made possible his widening spheres of influence and blessing throughout the world.
Northern Paper Calls Attention to Injustice on Public Conveyances.
Under the caption "Breaking the Jimcrow Law" the New York Times says editorially:
There has been a good deal of complaint in Tennessee lately about the way in which the jimcrow car rule is evaded. Persons who have found themselves affronted and inconvenienced by the intrusion of members of the other race have written letters to the newspapers about it and expressed their discontent in other ways. Despite the law which ordains that members of the white race shall ride in one part of the car and members of the colored race in the other, there are bumptious and aggressive persons who insist on invading the territory set apart for the race to which they do not belong. Naturally the feeling aroused is one of just irritation, and there is a demand that the rule be enforced.
The curious thing about it is that it is the white race against which the complaint is leveled. Negroes resent the intrusion of inconsiderate white men into the space reserved for them, and demand that the intruders be forced to stay where they belong. The Chattanooga Times justly and severely remarks that these white men seem to hold the doctrine, erroneously ascribed to Chief Justice Tangi, that the black man has no rights the white man is bound to respect. Certainly one of the black man's rights is the right to keep the whites out of his section of a jimcrow car, and Tennessee is singularly lax in according this right to him. In many parts of Virginia, for instance, all a negro has to do if he finds a white man sitting in the "colored section" is to step up and order him to surrender his seat, and the white man either stands up or is put out. It makes no difference that there are no seats in the "white section," and that he will have to stand; he stands. We hope that little five foot Irish conduct is still working on the Falls Church trolley who once, when two six-foot white men insisted on sitting in the "colored section," tackled them single handed with both fists and threw them out on the road in a wood four miles from the nearest village and made them tramp home with bruised noses at midnight. He was little and scrawny and would never have been accepted for military service, but resisting his edicts did not come under the head of "amusements."
Chattanooga should send to Fairfax county, Va., or to Newport News and import a few of these impartial and indomitable conductors. The protest of the Tennessee negroes is just. They have some rights that the white man is bound to respect, and one of them is the right to choose their company and we would add among all races and individuals with whom they may conserve their best interest in every line of industry.

port of Grapd Secretary Johnson of

trict grand lodge.

INDUSTRIAL HOMc SCHOOL ~
OPENS FOR WAYWARD GIRLS
Constructive Work of Virginia State
Federation of Colored Women's Clubs.
By WILLIAM ANTHONY AERY.
An industrial school for wayward
colored girls, founded by the Virginia
State Federation of Colored Women’s
Clubs, bas been opened on a smull
scale at Peake, in Hanover county, Va.
‘The cored women of Vipginia have
raised nearly $6,000 and bive bought
a farm of 147 acres. They have re-
ceived from white friends over $2,000.
The legislature of Virginia has ap-
propriated $6,000.
Girls are now working on the land
and living in temporary quarters. They
are learning habits of industry, punc-
tuality and self control. The site
meets the requirements of the home
for accessibility, water supply, drain-
age and water power. The home
school has the indorsement, sympathy
and co-operation of those who com-
mand the confidence of the people of
Virginia.
Some 500 wayward colored girls in
Virginia are in need of home care and
‘dustrial training. These girls will
fall into trouble and reach the jails
unless a-helping hand is extended to
them. Jails are hotbeds of moral dis-
ease from which these girls should be
kept. Wayward girls are often feeble
minded. They need protection and not
punishment, interesting work and not
abuse or exploitation. They are now a
liability to the state and nation. They
can be helped through an improved
environment.
Janie Porter Barrett, a graduate of
Hampton institute and the founder of
the Locust Street Social settlement in
Hampton, Va.. who is the secretary of
the Virginia State Federation of Col-
ored Women’s Clubs, is making an np-
peal for money which must be pro-
vided for food, clothing, farm imple-
ments, household furnishings, new cot-
tages and growth to meet real needs.
She has succeeded in enlisting the co-
operation of hundreds m this social
service work, in which Virginia is tak-
ing the lead. .
The board of managers and building
committee represent the best interests
of white and colored Virginians. They
include Mrs. Henry L. Schmelz, Hamp-
ton; Mrs. Beverly Munford, Richmond;
Captain John I, Roper, Norfolk; Mrs.
Maggle L. Walker, Richmond; Rev. W.
R. Bowle, Richmond; Rev. William H.

Hampton; Mrs. Harris Barret, Hamp-
ton; Major R. R, Moton, Hampton in-
stitute, and Dr. J, T. Mastin, Rich-
mond.
Mr. Frank W. Darling, the well
known oyster packer, of Hampton, Va.,
is the treasyrer. He is also one of the
trustees of Hampton institute and for
many years bas been a helpful friend
to good colored people. i
‘The home school project. in short, hax
enlisted the co-operation and support
of warm hearted. farsighted men and
women regardless of race or soclal po.
sition. The colored club women of Vir-
ginia are determined to make this pio-
neer work a distinct success.

Schoiarly Attainments of Dr. George E. Morris. POPULAR WITH THE PEOPLE
A Big Subscription Campaign
Minister at First Baptist Church In Camden, N. J., Serves in Many Good Movements For Racial and Denominational Advancement—Graduate of the Old Richmond (Va.) Institute.
By GEORGE F. KING.
Camden, N. J.—For several years the church life among our people in this city has become very effective. The economic life of the people has also been made much better. That the church is stimulating the young people to strive for the things that will make them useful citizens, especially in this section, is more pronounced than ever before.
Despite the request of the better element of both races in Morristown, N. J., after vitally stamping his impress for good upon the populace of that place by many years of exceptional service and erecting a handsome church, the Rev. George E. Morris, D. D., Ph. D., came to Camden a few years ago to take charge of the First Baptist church. This bundle of energy got into the movements to better conditions in Camden, and today he has rehabilitated the affairs of his new church that it is in the front rank of churches in New Jersey. Not only is Dr. Morris foremost in the ministerial ranks locally, but he is the leader of the Baptist forces of New Jersey. Since 1902 he has been president of the Baptist state convention, and for

ten years he has served as vice president of the national Baptist convention from this state. Dr. Morris was born in Richmond, Va. During his early years he had to assist in supporting his widowed mother. After attending night school for two years and becoming converted and desiring to prepare himself for efficient work for humanity in general he entered the Richmond Institute and Theological seminary (now the Virginia Union university) and continued at this well known institution until his graduation for the Christian ministry. He had the reputation of being one of the best Hebrew and Greek students attending the university and won many honors. He was licensed to preach in 1888 and afterward accepted a call from the Calvary Baptist church, Morristown, N. J. His success in Morristown gave him great influence among the people.

It is conceded that he is among the ablest pulpiteers and pastors of his denomination. Some years ago he wrote a sermon for the National Baptist Magazine on the subject "God Man," which was declared by the theologians to be one of the most scholarly sermons produced by any minister of the denomination known at the time.
Through the indefattigable efforts of this modest and genial leader, who has every qualification of a leader by sticking to his followers. New Jersey has taken first place, according to numbers, in the denomination with which he is so eminently connected. His annual addresses before his state convention are pronounced potent factors in shaping the activities of the Baptist churches of the state and from a literary viewpoint have been termed "gems" and highly instructive. That he is highly esteemed by both races is fully attested by his connection with varied movements among both races. He has served as a member of the board of the New Jersey state Baptist convention, and the leaders of this body often seek his advice regarding efforts for the furtherance of homeliness. Dr. Morris is also a strong influence in the great work of the New England Baptist convention.
It is a gratifying fact to please the people. Don't delay, act quickly, subscribe now. We want to give a bigger, better and brighter paper.
The ambitious young Afro-American who is striving along the right lines to become a wholesome influence in every phase of righteous activities finds a stanch supporter in Dr. Morris and his most amiable and cultured wife. Mrs. Morris is a native of Richmond, Va. and is the daughter of Rev. George E. Johnson. Industrial and business pursuits are among the vocations which Dr. and Mrs. Morris are strongly advocating for our young people.

SUSTAINS REPUTATION.
The) Albritton Recital at Feopies
Presbyterian Church Grand
Affair.
‘A young, unassuming young woman
from Los Angeles, Cal., enroute to
Boston, Mass., ta complete her musi-
cal education in the person of Miss
Minnie M. Albritton, surprised a large
crowd of music lovers last Monday
night in the auditorium of the Peo-
ple’s Presbyterian Church. She is at
par with any first rate artist_appear-
ing before a Denver public. “Her no-
menclature” ‘The Nightingale of the
West and Mocking Bird of the Pa-
cific.’ is no misnomer.” Round after
round of encore called her back to
the stage in the execution of her selec-
tions. She bids fair to be the most
Pronounced and qualified Lyric So-
prano of the race. Her returg to Den.
ver ruturely, means a pouring out of
all her citizens to pay respect to this
rising songstress. Mme. Lillian Haw-
kins-Jones is instrumental for. the in-
troduction of Miss Albritton to the
People’s Church. ‘The individual who
sees ability in another whether he be-
longs to the same class or not, and
endeavors to make it possible for the
unknown one to be introduced to the
public is bound to succeed. The ver-
dict pronounced upon the choir who
assisted the arfist is that no aggre-
gation of voices in Denver ever sat-
{efied a critical and fastidious audi-
ence more than this of Monday night.
Mesdames P. Rose and Lillian Pinn
sustained their respective parts in the
“Elegy” in a most commendable way.
Mr. Thos. Berry brought down the
house for his depth and height of tones
‘as a Bass Soloist. Miss Cleo Hob-
son and Master Atwel Rose were bap-
tized with showers of applause for
their respective renditions at the piano
‘and violin. Mme. M. B. Morrison was
par excelence as a trombonist, whilet
Mr. V. Spratlin, our celebrated or-
ganist performed with ease and grace
‘at the organ and piano. The recite-
tion “Holy City” was well rendered by
Miss Samirs Harris. The impressions
‘of the Recital will never be forgotten
in Denver.
