Race Prejudice
Honolulu ought to be free from race prejudice, but it is not. So many people of so many different races are mingling here in active life that even a blind man would soon realize that every race produces noble men and women. I have never thought I was superior to others because I happened to be born white. I can readily believe from knowledge and experience that there are many people of darker skins who are better than I. In this world and probably in the next it is neither race nor color that counts. Character is the only thing of enduring value. Make your character something that you can be proud of, and never mind your color. God made that and his stamp ought to guarantee it. If it suits him, no one else has any right to complain. According to the Bible the black color is a curse on account of a transgression of Ham, but the Bible is actually the worst and most mischief-making book on this earth. The time will come when an enlightened world will consider it a disgrace that human beings with reasoning powers ever had faith in it. The person who is not willing to grant the common rights of humanity to all, no matter what their race or color, is not a man himself, but a contemptible thing unworthy to walk on this earth and a long way from the road to heaven. If you have any race prejudice, be a man and rid yourself of it. You cannot be a man and think yourself better than others on account of race or color, and usually the persons who make the most pretensions to superiority on this account have little else of which they can boast.—Walter Thurtell in Now And Then.
Y. M. C. A. SECRETARY ARRIVES FROM NEW YORK
Mr. Thos. J. Bell, whose 13 years experience in New York City, will enable him to push the Y. M. C. A. in Denver to the greatest success, arrived Wednesday fresh for his new task of work among our men.

New York, Oct. 27.—A national movement to enlist Negroes af the United States in a reserve force for use in war time was launched here today, when the Knights of the Constitution were organized, with Derby D. Shirley of this city as president. Organizers of the movement who assert that Negroes fought valiantly in previous wars, sav that steps have been taken to organize camps in all states.

Father Bruce spoke as follows:
It is very difficult for me to respond to such expressions as I have heard and seen tonight. I never have felt my utter incompetency to handle any situation as I feel myself incapable to fully respond to these glorious and warm utterances of the head, hand and heart. To me they reveal a great wealth of friendship and partial judgment of affection. I did not fully appreciate that in responding in the behalf of the District Grand Lodge, that this great responsibility devolving upon me carried with it so much of honor until now. There is a peculiar connection we have to our present District Grand Lodge, it confers no titles of nobility in its activities, but it does what is better; from the promptings of loyal, true and patriotic hearts, it repays in double measure of benevolence, kind consideration and good fellowship, while not yet to the overflowing, still it meets every debt which it thinks it owes to an Odd Fellow or its subordinate lodge. Why, tonight what titles of nobility could be more appreciated or worth as much as your flattering welcome here, by your very best in this city; your approval here tonight and kind invitation of our ingress and egress is worth more to us as three linked men than any title which can be conferred.
When I remember what great and active interest this mighty Northwest has taken in the molding of the sentiments, differences of citizens, the uplifting of humanity and the organization of trade, industrial, agricultural and all kinds of commercial enterprises, until railroad dot every mountain, tunnelling their way up and down and through the great chain of Rockies, its verdant valleys in which towns and cities are nestling; when I recall the skill, ginger and efficient engineering ability it took to produce these great results, then it is that I have only a faint glimpse of the great possibilities of the Northwest and its future relations and associations to the Orient and to the Panama canal. No wonder you are so big hearted and hospitable. Big associations make big hearts which grow into big men. The business part of this Grand lodge in responding declares that in the realm of business activity, fraternal insurance and otherwise, in the channels of barter and trade, and in fact along the various lines of human endeavor; quality, quantity, efficiency and cost are the agencies that enter into and deter-

Former Denver Pastor Has Dixon's Play at His Church
Dr. Reisner Sees Play and then Explains. "Birth of a Nation Severely Critized.
During a Church Efficiency gathering, held recently at the M. E. Church, 131 West 104th street, the Rev. Christian F. Reisner, pastor, the vicious Dixon moving picture, "The Birth of a Nation," was shown. Special arrangements had been made with the managers, and mention in the daily papers stated that "before a vast audience of Methodist ministers from all over the State, the picture was shown in every detail as at the Liberty Theatre, with orchestral accompaniment." It was also stated that the "church performance was arranged by the Rev. C. F. Reisner." of New York.
The fact that this photo play which has been condemned by man as the most inimical to the interests of the Negro race, was presented in a church of the Methodist Episcopal denomination, called forth the following strong letter of denunciation from the Rev. Wm. H. Brooks, pastor of Saint Marks M. E. Church, a member of the same denomination: To the Editor of The Age:
"The Birth of a Nation," a travesty on history; a breeder of racial antipathy; magnifying the lawlessness of the other; peculiarly dangerous because its insidious poison is hidden in scenic beauty—outlawed in some states condemned in some others—at last creeps out of the theatre, where it never should have been, into the Church of God to furnish entertainment for the saints of the Most High.
This play with its objectionable features condemned by His Excellency, the Mayor of this city; the Commissioner of License, by the entire race so grossly maligned; by able representatives of the Jewish, Roman Catholic, Universalist, and most of the Protestant faith; finds a welcome in a church of the denomination of which I am a member—the Methodist Episcopal—and this church places upon this hatred-breeding propaganda, the sanction of our holy religion.
We have been taught that Methodism was raised up definitely to spread scriptural holiness throughout the land. Has she finished her task and is now celebrating it with her brass band and theatrical performances?
In spite of this unholy marriage of theatre and church, the race so grievously misrepresented will live and be strong enough to shed tears at the grave of both of the contracting parties, when God shall say, Dust to Dust, and Ashes to Ashes.
A representative of The Age called on the Rev. Mr. Reisner, and requested a statement from him concerning the motive behind the presentation of the play in his church. After declaring that for many years he had been a friend and had worked in the interests of the Negro, Dr. Reisner submitted the following statements setting forth the conditions under which the picture was presented in his church. He declined to enter into any discussion of the merits of the play other than from the technical standpoint of the develepment of moving pictures, but declared that he did not believe the production of the picture could injure the Negro race, because of the solid progress and advancement which that race has accomplished.
To the Editor of The Age:
One of your staff, in a very gentlemanly way, requested me to explain how we happened to give the motion picture "The Birth of a Nation" in Grace Church. I am glad to answer his request because I have always been a friend of the Negro. My father went through the Kansas contest and and many times came near death because of his strong anti-slavery views and friendship for the Negro. For nineteen years, I have preached in their defense and have raised money for institutions dedicated to their uplift. Some of the best friends I have anywhere are members of the African race.
I am surprised that anyone who knows me would imagine that the picture would be shown if I believed it would it would injure a race which has made more progress with more hindrances than any which history recorded. A committee of the New York Conference arranged a Church Efficiency gathering to be held at Grace Church. The Executive Committee determined to show the delegates a notable motion picture. It was found that the most remarkable one ever made could be secured. The question of its offensiveness or acceptability did not enter into the matter. If it were necessary I would be glad to state my own convictions about the picture but that is not necessary in this place. It was not brought here by me but by the committee and wholly with the purpose of showing what marvelous productions are now possible through motion pictures. My past record is full proof of my attitude towards the Negro race. I beg to remain,
Yours.

DETROIT CITIZENSOVER- COME BY LETHARGY
Detroit, Mich.,—Through the columns of your greatest race weekly we are watching the progress of the "Birth of a Nation" across the continent, and the helpful publicity given by The Defender. This libel on our race and challenge to all sons of veterans is booked to appear in Detroit after the holidays. We have an excellent Governor Ferris, and a splendid Mayor Marx, both cosmopolitan, far-sighted, friendly and fair, but as yet the Detroit men seem to be so weak-kneed in loyalty and race pride, and so hopelessly divided socially that no voice at all will be raised against it.
Attorney George G. Ross and his newspaper, The Denver Star, has recently won a signal victory over this wicked play that far western metropolis, the City Council there having passed his advocated ordinance which prohibits the exhibition of all such plays which intensify race hatred and stir additional racial strife. To a Westerner and Kansas student in these parts, as myself, it seems anti-American and treasonous that Michigan must swallow this iniquitous pill and misrepresentation with out even a frown on the Negro's face. God forbid!
ALFRED F. ROSS.
AN ORDIANCE.
An ordinance to prohibit certain kind of shows and theatrical plays in the city and county of Denver, and to repeal all acts and parts of acts in conflict therewith, and to fix the punishment for violation of the same.
Be it enacted by the City Council for the City and County of Denver, that from and after the passage of this ordinance, it shall be unlawful for any person or persons, company, combination, corporation or corporations to advertise, publish, produce, exhibit, or cause to be advertised, produced or exhibited, at any time or place, in the City and County of Denver, any theatrical play, act, picture, picture show, lithograph, drama, photo drama, drawing sketch, or historical production, which is contrary to good order and the public welfare, and which tends to reflect reproach upon any race, or incites race hatred, race riot, and which stirs up race prejudice, and tends to disturb the public peace, or that shall represent or purport to represent any hanging, lynching, or burning of any human being, incited by race hatred.
Any person or persons, company, combination, corporation or corporations violating this ordinance shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be fined in a sum of not less than
three hundred ($300) for the first violation thereof, and for the second violation and every violation thereafter shall be fined in the sum of not less than five hundred ($500), nor more than one thousand dollars ($1.000); and said violator or violators shall be confined in the city jail until said fine is paid. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict with this ordinance are hereby repealed. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage.—W. B. Townsend.
NEGRO MUSICIANS
To the Editor of the New York Sun.—Sir:
"Why does society prefer the Negro musician?" The question was recently asked by one of your correspondents. If the Negro enjoys any preference at all, he does not enjoy it solely because of his color. His color is a handicap; and wherever he achieves success he does so in the face of doubly severe competition. In certain branches of his occupation the Negro musician has been successful: in furnishing entertainment at dinner parties, receptions and other social functions similar in character, and in furnishing dance music. For work of the former kind his services have always been in demand, because of his unfailing good nature, his genial kindly humor and his versatility. Until recently those engaged in this work were for the most part untrained musicians who relied on their natural talents.
In the last few years, however, a new type of Negro musician has appeared in response to the demand for dance music of which the distinguishing characteristic is an eccentric tempo. Such music usually takes the form of a highly syncopated melody, which in the early period of its development was known as "ragtime" music. Since the dance is born of music, it is quite apparent that the modern dance is a creature of the syncopated melody. Thus a new field has been opened to Negro musicians. The Negro's success is due to the following facts: He is a natural musician and throws himself into the spirit of his work with spontaneous enthusiasm; so that the music rendered by a Negro orchestra rarely has the mechanical quality which is fatal to dancing. He has a superior sense of rhythm, peculiarly adapting him for dance music. The art of playing the modern syncopated music is to him a natural gift.
He excels in the use of the guitar, banjo and mandolin, instruments which are now being generally adopted by orchestras playing dance music to obtain the "thrumthrum" effect and the eccentric accentuated beat so desirable in dance music; and he was the first to discover the availability of these instruments for such purposes.

THE DARWIN DOCTRINE.
Bruce "Grit" Excepts to Ideas Advanced by Noted Scientist.
To admit the soundness of the doctrine of evolution, as taught by Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer, is to question God, says John E. Bruce "Grit." It is a monstrous assumption, this doctrine of evolution, and it has not yet justified the hopes of its discoverers. If man, as is asserted, descended from the monkey, or the ape, or the baboon, then the twenty-sixth verse of the first chapter of Genesis is a pure fiction. Of course it is no such thing. No sane or reasonably intelligent man believes that Darwin and Spencer, who were both of them overeducated, believed it, and the former before his death, it is said, admitted that the doctrine of evolution is a failure.
We who believe that God is greater than man know that the theory of evolution hasn't a leg to stand upon. It is a preposterous assumption, born of a superabundance of conceit, which has ever been a characteristic of the Caucasian race, which knows everything and knows nothing.
SERVICES FOR BEECHER.
Plymouth Church Holde Special Meeting In Honor of Late Preacher. Plymouth church, in Brooklyn, held special services in honor of Henry Ward Beecher on Sunday evening, Oct. 17, which were attended by several thousand persons. The needs of Talladega college, Ala., were also brought prominently before the people at this meeting, and a substantial sum was given for the work of the school in honor of the occasion. The Fisk Jubilee Singers were present and rendered several selections, which were highly pleasing to the audience.
Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, pastor; Dr. S. Parkes Cadman of the Central Congregational church, Brooklyn; Dr. Lucien C. Warner, chairman of the board of trustees of the college, and Mr. George W. Crawford deprived eloquent speeches. Mr. Cadman became so eloquent in his plea that Brooklynites should erect "a living monument to Mr. Beecher in the shape of support for Talladega college," it is said, that several persons wept.
COUGHS THAT ARE STOPPED!
Careful people see that they are stopped. Dr. King's New Discovery is a remedy of tried merit. It has held its own on the market for 46 years. Youth and old age testify to its soothing and healing qualities. Pneumonia and lung troubles are often caused by delay of treatment. Dr. King's New Discovery stops those hacking coughs and relieves the gripp tendencies. Money back if it falls. 50c and $1.00.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Lesson V.—Fourth Quarter, For Oct. 31, 1915.
Text of the Lesson, II Kings xi, 4-12.
Memory Verses, 11, 12—Golden Text,
Prov. xiv, 11—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
Apart from the story of Ahab we have only considered the lives of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin, and that of good King Asa. The story of the ten tribes and their kings was bad all through, and, although Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel, yet he took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart, but departed not from the sins of Jeroboam (II Kings x, 31). As to Judah, the two tribes, Jehoshaphat, who succeeded his father, Asa, was a good king on the whole, but his fellowship with the king of Israel was bad, and he was reproved for it in these words: "Shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the Lord?" (II Chron. xviii, 1; xix, 2.) See also II Chron. xx, 35. Jehoshaphat was succeeded by his son, Jehoram, who reigned only eight years, but made his mark decidedly for evil, for he married the daughter of that wicked pair, Ahab and Jezebel, and walked in the ways of the kings of Israel like the house of Ahab. He suffered terribly in his body and from his enemies, according to a message from the Lord by Elijah, and departed without being desired (II Chron. xxi, 5, 6; xii, 15; xvill, 20). All his sons were slain except the youngest, Ahaziah, and he became king at the age of forty-two and reigned only one year. He walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother, Athaliah, and others of the house of Ahab were his counselors to do wickedly (II Chron. xxii, 1-4). He was slain by Jehu, and when his mother saw that her son was dead she slew all the seed royal of the house of Judah, or thought she did. But the living God, who will let nothing of His word fall to the earth, was watching over the seed of the kingdom (II Kings x, 10; xi, 1, margin).
The sister of Ahaziah, who was the wife of Jehoiada the priest, somehow stole the baby Joash and hid him and his nurse in a bedchamber in the house of God for six years, during which time Athaliah reigned over the land, and what a reign it must have been! (II Kings xl, 2, 3; II Chron. xxll, 10-12). But in due time deliverance always comes, and in the seventh year Jehoiada the priest arranged to have Joash proclaimed king, taking every precaution to have everything done in due order and to prevent any miscarriage of events. He gathered the Levites and the rulers and the captains by hundreds in the house of the Lord and showed them the king's son and said, "Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the Lord hath said of the sons of David," and all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God (verse 4 and II Chron. xxlll, 1-3). As one day is with the Lord as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day, one cannot thinking of the seventh thousand years when the devil, whom Athaliah so well represented, shall be shut up in the plit and there shall be a fulfillment of the words "Yet have I set my King upon my holy hill of Zion" (Ps. 11, 6). All through the book there are so many foreshadowings of the coming kingdom upon which our hearts should be constantly set, for all the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us (Rom. vill, 18). Jehoiada arranged all in their places, with instructions to those with weapons to compass the king roundabout, and he brought forth the king's son and annotated him, crowned him, gave him the testimony and made him king, the people clapping their hands and saying, "God save the king" (verses 8, 11, 12). Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people that they should be the Lord's people, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet.
Josiah was seven years old when he began to reign (verses 17, 20, 21). They broke down the house of Baal and broke in pieces thoroughly his altars and his images and slew Athalah, that wicked woman with the sword, and the priest appointed officers over the house of the Lord (verses 18, 20). It must have seemed like a change from hell to heaven for the people of Judah. What will it be for the whole world when a king shall reign in righteousness, and the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever! (Isa, xxil, 1, 17). The readers of these lesson notes may think that I quote some passages very often, but it is because they mean so much to me. They are my meat and drink. May they all mean more to each us! Josiah is the youngest king of whom we read, but good King Josiah was but one year older when he began to reign (II Kings xxil, 1). Every good king was in some measure a type of Him who when He was but a babe was worshiped as King of the Jews (Matt. ii, 1, 2, 11), but who is still waiting for His kingdom. Josiah was wonderfully preserved that the word of the Lord concerning David and his kingdom might not fail, and we may be quite certain that the other assurances to David which are not yet fulfilled shall be fulfilled to the letter in God's own good time and way. The promises of God are absolute certainties, and we may rest our whole weight upon them.

WORK OF FOREIGN MISSIONS.
Cornerstone of Ewen Building In Philadelphia Is Laid.
Philadelphia—The cornerstone of the Ewen building, to be devoted to the work of foreign missions, was laid recently in this city in the presence of a multitude of spectators. The history of the foreign mission board as related by Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D., LL. D., was a masterpiece of literary worth. With a marked degree of accuracy he traced the board from its incipiency and told in detail of its organization and the work of the denominational fathers that fostered it. By decades Rev. W. G. Parks, D. D., told of the missionaries that have been sent out by the board to regions beyond and painted in glowing terms the sacrifices they have made to help bring lost men to Christ. He brought out the beauty of service and how worth while it is to make one's life subservient to the Master.
The remaining numbers on the program were all gems, because of the beautiful sentiment and valuable lessons taught. No more representative

body of men and women could have been brought together to perform a service for a race that means so much and that was so conscientiously performed than those that gathered at this cornerstone laying.
Most impressive of all were the remarks of the corresponding secretary, Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., who for twenty years has served the foreign mission board. Ripe with experience, filled with zeal for the work and loving his fellow man, as his unselfish service evidences, it is no wonder that he seemed to put his soul into words and pour them out of the fullness of his heart into the listening ears of the waiting assembly with a force and persuasiveness that are always characteristic of him and that burn their way into the hearts of his hearers until the most stolid are moved with compassion. It was due to his untiring efforts that the Ewen building was made possible, and to him credit is due for the successful conduct of missions in the various stations where the board is at present operating.

“When the present war broke out it {s

as early as Aug, 10 stated, ‘About 500
French hotel and restaurant employ-
ees have left New York, many so fired
with patriotism that they have gone
without waiting for the call.’ A little
later there was quite an exit of these
foreigners employed by rich people at
Newport, R. I. The following is one of
several such statements which appear.

“The French government having called
for additional reserves, a number of.

our government will some day have to
face. ‘The colored man is one of the
few Americans who could be placed att
every gun in the navy and army and
shout as he sings, with intent to de
stroy any flag on the face of all the
earth. When the American people.
public and private, recognize the full
significance of this condition they will
think more of patriotism and less of
favoritism. Let America be for Ameri-

state of voting age, making « total of
413,765. The number of qualified vot-

“This government cannot endure half
representative and half oligarchy. If
you say we cannot unlock the ballot
box the constitution says to you, “The
basis of representation therein shall be
reduced’ according to votes cast. We
call upon congress to unlock the gates
of disfranchixement or send its «is-
franchisers home. We appedl to you
ax ‘American citizens with an ances-
try older than the constitution, older
than the Declaration of Independence.
Back before the Boston commons were
baptized with immortal blood, when |
we laid the first sacrificial offering
upon the American altar of liberty, we
had wielded the wilderness ax; never
faltered under duty, never betrayed a
trust, present at every call to battle
tor the government, never shot at, but
for the flag.’ We call upon you to’
make n full cut, In this appeal we are
united. The government must take
charge of disfrauchisement, or dis.
franchisement will take charge of the
government.”

OPINION OF WEST AFRICAN LEADER
Professor S. M. Harden Speaks Frankly to Natives.
MEETING OF LAGOS BAPTISTS
Difficulty Experienced by Europeans In Dealing With Natives Anises From Lack of Understanding — The Late Mary Kingsley Suggested Way of Avoiding Common Error of Judgment.
Professor S. M. Harden of Lagos, West Africa, in an admirable address delivered at a public meeting of the native Baptists of Lagos recently, among other things, which we wish we had space for, said:
"The greatest difficulty that the European—and by European I mean the white man generally—experiences in his dealings with the natives in the political as well as the religious life arises from a want of understanding of the native character. The white man does not understand the native. He does not try to understand him, his customs and institutions. It is so much easier to cut the Gordion knot of anything unintelligible in native customs by branding it as 'heathenish' and superstitious,' and this is what the white man does as a rule.
"It was the late Mary Kingsley, a lady who, although not a missionary, devoted her life to Africa and the Africans, who said that if the European would only try to get at the back of the African mind, to think black, he would see many things in African customs and institutions to respect and admire. The white man does not try to do this, and he is therefore always committing the most serious blunders and coming to the most illogical conclusions.
"Take one example: The African rain doctor and his pretension to be able to draw rain from the clouds are a subject of constant ridicule with the white man. He is looked upon as a charlatan, an impostor, and the people who believe in him are credulous fools. Now, I am here to tell you that the white man does make rain, or at least has made rain. It happened some years ago when I was in America. In one of the western or southwestern states is a large tract of land that would have been a splendid place for agricultural purposes but for the fact that scarcely any rain ever fell there. There was no method of irrigation found by which the land could be watered, and here was a fine tract of country lying useless for want of a little rain.
"Captain Dryenforth, who thought out things and did them, set to work to see if he could not produce rain by artificial means. In turning the subject over in his mind the thought occurred to him that after every great battle, especially battles in which heavy artillery was used and there was a great deal of cannonading, there was a heavy downpour of rain, as at the battle of Waterloo, when the belligerents went from the field drenched in a heavy shower. Why was this? He came to the conclusion that the concussion in the air caused by the discharge of heavy guns, together with the volume of smoke, created some atmospheric disturbance which resulted in rain.
"He had no heavy guns to let off, but he got some detonators that went off with a loud report, attached them to a number of kites which he sent up into the sky, timing them to explode after the expiration of some minutes and patiently waited to see what would happen. The result was a success beyond his most sanguine expectations. Rain descended in a few hours. I watched the papers to see what use had been made of the invention, but I saw no further mention made of it. It may have been that the cost of the materials was so heavy as to make the application of the invention to general use practically impossible. Now you do not hugh at that man and his invention. Why? Because you understand his methods. He explains them to you. He proves to you that, given certain conditions, certain causes must produce certain results, and you are satisfied and call that man a genius.
"The African, on the contrary, hides the secret of his invention, and small blame to him for doing so. The white man has his invention protected by patent rights which are renewable, and before the time comes when he can no longer renew them he has enriched himself for life and his children after him. The black man has no such protection; hence he surrounds himself with mystery in order more effectually to guard his secret, which he bequests as a valuable legacy to his children.
"The white man's methods, which he explains and you understand, you call science; the black man's, that you do not understand, you call fetishism and the work of the devil. As in temporal so in spiritual matters the white man does not understand the manners of the African."

BOYHOOD FRIENDS MEET.
Rev. J. P. Watson and Thomas Gannon Were Comrades in War.
The Rev. J. Preston Watson of Pueblo, Colo., told recently a very interesting story of his early boyhood as a slave and of how he formed the acquaintance of the now venerable Thomas Gannon of Monte Vista, Colo. Both men are now quite aged, the former a retired Methodist minister, the latter a retired soldier.
As the story runs, it was Mr. Gannon, then a first lieutenant in the Ninth Missouri cavalry and later promoted to captain, fifty-four years ago, who formed a liking for Watson, who was a boy fugitive, and took him in. Throughout the war, until the close four years later, Watson remained with Gannon. Then they separated, with the understanding that Watson was to go to Gannon's home and under his instruction learn the tinner's trade.
But unfavorable circumstances intervened. Although in the years each frequently tried to find a trace of the other, their efforts proved in vain until, in 1913, Mr. Watson, then a veteran pastor who had done nearly forty years' service for the African Methodist church, learned that Captain Gannon was living near Leadville. This being in the district which Watson toured, as presiding elder, he renewed his search and finally found Captain Gannon, a feeble, gray haired man, at that time just recovering from an operation.
"Of course neither of us knew the other," remarked the Rev. Mr. Watson in telling of the meeting. "When I knew Gannon in wartimes he was a square shouldered young man with a long black mustache and bushy black hair. Half a century later I found him an old man, little resembling his former self. But the old friendship still was there. He seemed mighty glad to see me, and for two hours we talked over old times. Then later he came to my house and we sat up all night long talking old times."
Reminiscently in his letter received but recently Mr. Gannon said: "Again I recall an incident—the colored boy who wandered into camp, a fugitive from slavery, meek, humble, seeking protection. My boys in blue treated him with kindness and sympathy, and I soon realized his faithful services; honest, truthful and diligent, employing his leisure moments in the efforts to learn to read that he might be helpful to his fellow freedmen. Now, how well he has succeeded—from a humble servant to a devoted servant of the Lord and zealous in the uplift of his people."
The Rev. Mr. Watson was born near Lynchburg, Va., and was sold when a baby with his mother to Robert Barnett, Bowling Green, Pike county, Mo. When four years old his mother died and from that time until ten he was sold five times on the auction block in Missouri. Educated through his own efforts entirely he has lived a good and useful life.
HONOR HARRIET TUBMAN.
Club Named For Famous Abolitionist Plans to Erect Monument.
Great interest was shown at the public meeting held Sunday afternoon, Oct. 17, at the Rush A. M. E. Zion church, in New York, under the auspices of the Harriet Tubman Neighborhood club. Mrs. Marie Jackson-Stuart, president of the organization, called the meeting to order and afterward presented Mr. Fred R. Moore, who acted as master of ceremonies. After speaking of the object of the club, its past record and present plans, Mr. Moore presented as the first speaker the Rev. F. A. Cullen, pastor of the Salem M. E. church. The club has formulated plans for placing a statue of the late Harriet Tubman in some public park or some public highway in Manhattan. To this end the Rev. Mr. Cullen pledged his support.
Mrs. M. C. Lawton emphasized the importance of perpetuating the memories of men and women who have borne the racial burdens in the heat of the day. She said she was glad that Harriet Tubman did not live in this day, when qualifications for a life of service to the human family are pitched on such high and superficial planes as to have rendered her efforts useless; that she was glad that colored men and women are beginning to realize merit and worth; that, in order to determine who is who, one has to have a broad conception of man's makeup—see him from every angle. Circumstances, she said, social standing and ancestral fame all sink into insignificance when compared to a real life of service.
John E. Bruce of Yonkers, N. Y., gave a most interesting history of Harrett Tubman, telling of her life's work, which resulted in rescuing over 3,000 slaves. J. Frank Wheaton delivered an etoquent address on the lives of the colored heroes and heroines and urged all present to contribute toward the erection of the proposed statue. In a short but pointed talk the Rev. Charles Martin, D. D., voiced the sentiments expressed by the previous speakers and said that the name of Harrett Tubman would grace the pages of any history.
After substantial evidence in pledges and otherwise the meeting was brought to a fitting close by Miss Josephine Holmes, one of the public schoolteachers in Manhattan, who beautifully depicted the life of Harriett Tubman, her adventures, etc., and urged her hearers to emulate the example of this great woman whose entire life was given in service to her fellow man. Mrs. Caroline Bell-Cullen captivated the audience with a very sweetly rendered vocal solo.

Lesson VI.—Fourth Quarter, For
Nov. 7, 1915.
Text of the Lesson, II Kings xli, 4-15.
Memory Verse, 9—Golden Text, II
Cor. ix, 7—Commentary Prepared by
Rev. D. M. Stearns.
Among the many things I do not yet know there is this—why we should know the names or some mothers and not know the name of David's mother and some others. Both in our lesson chapter and in Chronicles we are told that the mother of Joash was Zibiah of Beersheba. Now, the meaning of Beersheba is "the well of the oath" and always suggests the faithfulness of God (Gen. xxi, 31, margin). It was at Beersheba that Abraham dwelt when he went to Morish with Isaac to offer him up, and to that home he brought him back as alive from the dead (Gen. xxii, 1-19). So I am reminded that all blessing depends upon the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was a good thing for Joash that he had such a friend as Jeholada the priest, who must have been a remarkable man in many ways, living to be 130 years of age, so he must have been 100 or nearly so when he caused Joash to be proclaimed king, just about 100 years after the death of Solomon.
Joash did right in the sight of the Lord as long as he had Jehola for counselor, but the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in high places (verses 2, 3; II Chron. xxiv, 2, 3). We cannot think of Israel (whether the ten tribes or the two or the twelve) being right with God apart from a right relation to the tabernacle or temple, for those buildings stood for God in their midst (Ex. xxv, 8; I Kings vi, 12, 13). So we read that Joash was minded to repair the house of the Lord, which Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up (II Chron. xxiv, 4, 7). The great fact about the Lord Jesus, the true tabernacle and temple, was that He was God manifest in the flesh, God was in Christ. The church, the body of Christ now being builted, is wholly for God. Each individual believer is a temple and should be wholly for God.
The repairs which Joash desired to make, like all work today, needed funds, and he thought of the tabernacle of Moses and of the willing offerings (II Chron. xxiv, 6), but he did not seem to remember that these willing offerings were brought in, not sent for. He sent the priests and Levites out to gather the necessary money, but the plan did not work, for after twenty-three years the funds had not been gathered and the repairs not made (verses 4-8; II Chron. xxiv, 5-7). Then Jehoiada the priest, the king agreeing, put a chest, with a hole in the lid of it, beside the altar as one cometh into the house of the Lord, and a proclamation was made through Judah and Jerusalem to bring in to the Lord the offering that Moses, the servant of God, had commanded Israel in the wilderness. Then the princes and the people rejoiced and brought in day by day, and thus money was gathered in abundance (verses 7-10; II Chron. xxiv, 8-11).
Notice that the chest to receive the offerings was placed beside the altar of burnt offering, the brazen altar, on which the lambs were offered morning and evening, typical of Golgotha and the one great sacrifice offered once for all. The one constraining motive in all offerings to the Lord must be the love of Christ, the Son of God, who loved the church and gave Himself for it; who loved me and give Himself for me; no duty about it, but just love constraining. Then notice that there was no further effort to raise the money—no personal appeals, no soliciting from individuals, but all was brought in joyfully and willingly. Note carefully Ex. xxx, 21, 29; I Chron. xxix, 9, 17, and lay it to heart. On this principle I have received for home and foreign missions in the last twenty-five and a half years (up to July 1, 1914) over $756,000 and in the same way have seen for thirty-four years all current expenses of a congregation easily met.
The Lord God of Israel still liveth and is ready to hold strongly with hearts that are whole toward Him as it is written in II Chron. xv1, 9, margath. The money was given to the overseers of the work, and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders that wrought upon the house of the Lord, but no reckoning was kept with the men to whom the money was given, for they dealt faithfully (verses 11-15; II Chron. xxiv, 12-14). This method of handling money could not be safely carried on in our day unless we could find some workmen as faithfully honest. There are such, but they are like whole hearted Christians—few and far between—or in very small bunches here and there. We would all do well to keep in mind the day when every one of us shall give account of himself to God (Rom. xiv, 12) and live now accordingly. The conduct, or, rather, the misconduct, of Jonah after the death of Jeholala in listening to the princes of Judah and in leaving the house of the Lord God and worshiping idols and in refusing to listen to the prophets who were sent unto him is a sad and almost unbelievable record, or would be if we did not know how desperately wicked the human heart is. But what shall we say when we see Jonah commanding to stone to death the son of Jeholala because he was reproved by him? (II Chron. xxiv; 20-22.) The Lord did look upon it (Matt. xxiv, 33).
The Coast Line Observations
(Continued from page 1) mine all business and commercial tractions among men
To pursue any other course disappointment, dissatisfaction and even disaster would inevitable follow The German, the Jew, the Italian and the Swede, enter into the market with their skill and their goods and these they pit against all comers. By this method and by this method only can they hope to win. In such a contest, nationality, color and even sympathy play only a minor part. The Italian buys from the Italian only when the goods he offers for sale are as good and as cheap as those offered by the Jew or any other race. Quality, quantity, efficiency and cost are the arbiters of trade and labor, and to these the Negro must conform if he wishes to succeed. Color is not an asset in the realm of human activities.
Therefore when you wel comed us here, you did it not because we were colored Odd Fellows, but because we were Odd Fellows in deed and in truth. May God always bless you and prosperity always be ours as true and loyal Odd Fellows we shall never forget you.

Recent Facts and Figures Show Steady Advance.
HEALTHY GROWTH IN SOUTH
Comprehensive Survey of the Moral and Economic Condition of the Colored People Given In Social Study Reports—Work of Churches and Schools Seems to Be Weakest Point.
New York.—In discussing editorially the moral and economic progress of the colored people in a recent issue the New York Evening Post in part says: There is but one means of determining the degree in which the Negro is advancing in morals and manners. The census, tax lists and schools record progress in economic and educational directions. Nothing but the observation of skilled inquirers can register conditions as to home life. How many white people in Atlanta have actually been inside the homes of prosperous, educated colored persons? How many have sat over the fire of a one room cabin? Few southern whites teach Negroes, attend Negro church services or penetrate into Negro society.
Only in recent years has there been a marked increase in the number of social studies of the Negro. Vanderbilt university has published several monographs: Dr. Du Bols has directed researches in city and country; Dr. Odum of the University of Mississippi has compiled one of great value, while the new Phelps-Stokes fund at the University of Georgia supports a fellow who is to give his time to study of the Negro question.
But the chief work has been that of Atlanta university, which eighteen years ago issued its first volume and has undertaken a series of decennial studies initiated in 1903 with a comprehensive survey of "Morals and Manners Among American Negroes." The second, with a resume of the decade's progress, has been recently published. The method was favorable to broad rather than to specific conclusions. Ten questions were sent out to over 4,000 trustworthy people in all parts of the country, physicians, ministers and teachers forming the majority.
From Georgia came forty answers. Only four of these reported slipping back or stagnation and fifteen a marked improvement. From North Carolina but one of twenty answers was unfavorable. "The Negroes," runs a typical comment, "have more money, more property, live in better houses, their opportunities along all lines are better," and their moral response to this stimulus is evident. In Alabama forty three answers bear some tenor as "greatly improved," "90 per cent better" or "as much difference as between day and night," and but four are unfavorable. For Florida alone are as many as one-fifth of the replies discouraging. The candor of the writers is evident in the Tennessee admission that, "better as affairs are now than they were in former years, they are bad enough still," and the Alabama opinion that "these people would be in worse condition than the heathen if there was no advancement in their condition." The optimism, too, traces moral to economic advance.
The census reports have told us that in 1910 there were several thousands more of Negro farm owners than in 1900 and that 2.4 per cent more Negroes owned their homes. The detailed portions of the report constantly speak of the favorable reaction of greater economic independence upon home life, upon the rearing of children and upon "the developing sense of responsibility, the cultivation and exhibition of racial and personal pride."
Yet the report declares that the church and school, while making progress, are not keeping pace with the economic advance. In Alabama nine out of seventeen answers are to the effect that the church "is asleep" is "doing nothing for the colored citizens generally."
A complaint thrice repeated from Georgia and echoed elsewhere is that the ministers "have the idea that their only mission in life outside of making a loud noise is to raise money for themselves." Northern replies are to the same effect, one of two Kansas correspondents stating that "church leaders are selfish, money getting is their chief interest," and the other that "there is a great field for constructive work by each church."
Besides pastoral incompetence, the competition between debt ridden churches that should have coalesced long ago is touched upon. There are nearly 40,000 church organizations in the south, yet but a handful attempt the applied religion for which there is so enormous a field. The growing wealth of the Negroes should in time produce many ministers trained to keep their parishioners from criminal paths and instruct them in industry.
Ernest Crosby on the Leopard's Spots. Commenting on the spirit and aim of Thomas Dixon's novel, the "Leopard's Spots," Ernest Crosby has this to say: "It tempts me to retort: 'Thou tiger! First wash the stripes out of thy nine hide and then shalt thou see clearly to wash out the spots out of thy brother's hide.' For it is in the spirit of the tiger rather than that of the Christian minister that Mr. Dixon treats the delicate issues of the race question."
