Comment WHILE CHRISTIAN DEMOCRACY WEEPS HUNS IN COLORADO PLAIN AFTER WYOMING LYING The Huns in Colorado now trying to do a Negro dier what the Huns is oming and Tennessee is cently, and that to is ly burn him. The soldier is Lewis Smith, allege Dyersburg, Tenn.—Not to be outdone by Memphis and her Macon road tragedy of last summer, this little town was the scene Sunday night, December 2, of a crime against the "onward march of civilization;" a crime of fiendishness which would make the vilest savage bow his head in shame. Of all the hellishness heretofore perpetrated by southern mobs on defenseless black men, the gory scene of Sunday night eclipsed them all. The facts as near as can be ascertained are that Latin Scott, aged about 30 years, Colored, is alleged to have committed an assault upon the wife of a Tennessee farmer and it was far from certain that the man, tortured and burned to death here Sunday night, was the man guilty of the alleged crime. Protestations of innocence would have received small consideration from that blood-thirsty horde. Saturday afternoon the unfortunate man applied to a section foreman on the B. & N. W. for work near Oakfield. After the foreman told the man that he did not need any more help, the section foreman thought he recognized him as filling the description of the man wanted for the above assault. The section foreman arrested this man and informed Sherriff Perry of Madison county. The mob quickly assembled, and when the man is allegrd to have "confessed" the crime, the purpose of the mob was certain. He was brought to this town and to the public square on Sunday afternoon and tortured to death. The following from a Tennessee paper describes the ghastly work of this mob in the United States of America: While bound to an iron post with logging chains the Negro looked on in dumb wonder at the stern-visaged men who heated pokers and smoothing irons until they were as red as the flames that licked them hot. Half an hour the Negro waited while the irons were heated. He lay prone upon his face beneath the yoke of the iron post. Children on the outskirts romped and played, their merry voices rising above the hushed hubbub of the mob. At last the irons were hot. "Have you anything to say?" A meek voice mumbled inaudibly. The Negro made a speech, but few caught the portent. A red streak shot out. A poker, in a brawny arm was boring out one of the Negro's eyes. The Negro bore the ordeal with courage, only low moans escaping him. Another poker was working on the other orbit. The smell of burning flesh permeated the atmosphere, a pungent, sickening aroma telling those who failed to get good vantage points what their eyes could not see. Smooth ing irons were searing the flesh. Swish. Once, twice, three times a red-hot iron dug gaping places in Lation Scott's back and sides. "Fetch a hotter one," somebody said. The execution went on. Now, someone had another poker—jabbing its fiery point into the ribs of the doomed black. Then rubbish was piled high about the agonized body, squirming beneath its load. MATCH IS STRUCK Somebody struck the match—they say the husband of the assaulted woman applied it—and smoke began to curl upward into the blue sky. The flames gathered momentum, engulfing the body. The fire seemed to groan, but it was Lation Scott. More and more wood and rubbish were fed the fire, but at 2 o'clock Lation Scott was not dead. Life finally fled at 4 o'clock. The executioners departed, leaving only the morbid. Women, who had left their dinners in the making, hastened Children, who had tarried on the way home from Sunday school, scurried away. Dyersburg, seemingly, was satisfied. One pastor, during the course of his Sunday morning sermon, remarked that he was glad to see so many women present, "but I wonder where the men are?" The mob reached here about 1 o'clock with the Negro. Scott was stripped. The iron post, chains, smoothing irons and pokers had been provided before thn mob reached the city. Not a single cry for mercy was ever uttered by Scott. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 22, 1917 As Others See It Pueblo Chieftain, St. Louis Globe Dem. Comment WHILE CHRISTIAN DEMOCRACY WEEPS The people of the United States will generally approve of the sentences that were imposed on the members of the colored regiment who mutinied at Houston, Texas. At the same time the people of the country will demand that a similar punishment be meted to the white men who killed the Negroes in East St. Louis a few weeks before the occurrence at Houston. If anything, the acts of the white people in East St. Louis were far more grave than the acts of the Negroes in Houston. In no manner was either act excusable and the military authority exercised wide judgment in inflict ing a sure and quick punishment on the Negroes. If the civil population in East St. Louis fail to inflict a similar punishment on the men who were guilty of those murders and crimes it will only go to show that our government falls down in certain circumstances and it will only go to increase the feeling that punishment is not fairly meted out. It would have been far better so far as the general feeling is concerned to have executed the white men it St. Louis and not executed the Negroes in Houston because the white people are supposed to be better educated and better citizens from the fact that they have had a greater amount of opportunity. The colored regiment of which these members are a part has had a peculiar history in American life. It was this regiment that went into the thick of the fight in San Juan and saved Colonel Roosevelt's regiment from total annihilation; later it was this regiment whose members mutinied during Roosevelt's term as president and a number of them were dishonorably discharged; a little over a year ago it was this regiment that fought the only battle that was fought in Old Mexico when we were trying to capture Villa and many of the colored boys who were arrested and convicted at the recent court-martiol were the same ones who went for seventy two hours without food and water on the hot sands of the Mexican desert in order to rescue some of their white-soldier comrades. Then in August came the mutiny with its murders and final chapter which was written yesterday. On the dash on the field of battle and in bravery these men have not been excelled anywhere by American troops, but when off the field of battle and another element in their natures is aroused, they are hideous in the commitment of crime. America feels grateful to them for what they did on the San Juan, and in Old Mexico, but America cannot overlook what they are under the influence of liquor and are aroused in their petty passions. Notwithstanding all this, fair play in America demands that every white man who was connected with the murder of a Negro in East St. Louis should pay the same price that has been paid by the Negroes for the Houston affair. If the East St. Louis murderers go unpunished or if they get away with a light sentence, it will only increase the race hatred that already exists and it will cause the Negro to justly feel that his people do not get a square deal in the final adjustment of matters pertaining to government. The execution of thirteen Negroes will go a long way toward putting a stop to mutiny in any regiment in our national service. The execution of that many or a few more white people in East St. Louis would go a long way toward putting down the race riots that are started by white hoodlums, none of whom are as respectable as the Negroes whom they persecute. The officials of Illinois must feel the disgrace which the East St. Louis affair brought on them very keenly. There is just one way to erase that disgrace from the escutcheon of the door plate of Illinois. That way is to ascertain who is responsible for the East St. Louis murders and to take those who were responsible out and hang them without any more ceremony, useless red tape or 'dilly-dallying' than was shown their brothers in crime in Texas — Pueblo Chieftain. The hanging of 13 United States soldiers and the sentencing of forty-one more to imprisonment at hard labor for life will bring a shock to the country. No one can contemplate the fact without sadness of heart. But no thoughtful citizen will question the necessity for action. The fact that thirteen of the sixty-three tried for participating in the riot and mutiny at Houston were sentenced to death, forty-one to life imprisonment, one to two and a half years' imprisonment and three to two years' imprisonment, while five were acquitted His fortitude struck even the mob workers as uncanny. No one offered a plea for the Negro after he confessed. Ae professed to be a preacher and associated with church people. He resided at Union ville, where a widow and one child survive. PASS HAT AROUND. Between $400 and $500 was contributed toward the reward for the Negro's capture when hats were passed around during the execution. A reward of $290 had been offered but the mob and spectators over subscribed. The reward goes to the section foreman. The execution was carried out without a hitch. The utmost good order prevailed. When Dyersbury awoke Sunday morning the entire community seemed to read the the handwrifting on the wall. News of Scott's arrest had traveled rapidly, and though at that hour plans were not known, preparations were made. Hundreds of persons from adjoining counties had time to reach here before the execution. Farmers and their families drove in in their buck boards. buggies and automobiles. Intuitively the crowds gathered in the public square. Not a domino, hid a face. Everyone was unmasked. Leaders were designated and assigned their parts. Long before the mob reached the city the public square was choked with humanity. All waited patiently. Women with babies, made themselves comfortable. When the telephone message announced the taking of the Negro from the officers came, the crowd quickened. Many went out to meet the mob and escorted it into the city. Hngh piles of wood had been made ready. The mob entered the city at high noon—a clock was tolling 12. Formalities were dispensed with following the confession. A number of leading citizens had previously determined to have a trial by jury, but the Negro pleaded guilty as soon as he was arraigned. Women scarcely changed countenance as the Negro's back was ironed with the hot brands. Even the executioners maintained their poise in in the face of bloody creases left by the irons—irons which some housewife had been using. Three and a half hours were required to complete the execution. Sometime Monday an undertaker shoveled up the ashes and the bones and buried them.

HUNS IN COLORADO PATTERN AFTER WYOMING LYNCHERS The Huns in Colorado, are now trying to do a Negro Soldier what the Huns in Wyoming and Tennessee did recently, and that to is lynch, or burn him. The soldier's name is Lewis Smith, alleged violat or of the girl of Austrian parentage, who led the mob of this country's enemies to get and lynch the Negro, for some unproven wrong. The least that can be said at this time is that the Negro soldier is entitled to a fair public trial besore a set of square men of his country. Why Austrians, our country's enemies have been led to think they can take the law in their own hands, in Colorado upon the mere statement or appearance of somebody is easily accounted for, when the same is done with impunity in Wyoming and Tennessee. Negroes of Colorado, the N. A. A. C P. get busy and prepare to protect that young man and your selves. The time is psychological now after the hanging of the 13 soldiers, the present trial of the balance, the lynching of the Wyoming Negro and nothing said and now the attempted lynching at Pueblo. Negroes be warned, be prepared and be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Don't lose your heads, but think twice and act wisely. without disgrace, tends to prove that the court martial investigated all the circumstances with care and passed on the merits of each case. It was proved that the thirteen who have been executed dis obeyed the orders of their superior officer, invaded Houston and killed fifteen persons. They were guilty both of mutiny and murder. The law gives the department commander final authority to approve sentences in time af war. In these cases it it was well that there was no public notice of such approval until the sentences had been carried out. This course shut off a nation-wide agitation by sentimentalists for clemency. Clemency in such cases is unthinkable in war time. It is different with respect to sleeping pickets, "farmer boy who never learned to stay up late," as Lincoln put lt. Circumstances surrounding even desertions occasionally justify clemency. But open mutinies, especially when they are accompanied by murder, as in Houston case, cannot be condoned without danger of such a disintegration of the army as has ruined Kussia. It makes no difference whether a soldier is black, red, yellow or white, or whether he is on our own soil or in France, he must be made to undersrand the absolute necessity of discipline.—St. Louis Globe Democrat, Dec. 12th.

Preparations are almost complete for the drama, in five acts, entitled "Fifty Years of Freedom, or From Cabin to Congress." at Campbell chapel Thursday, Jan. 3, 1918. This play was written by Katherine Davis Tillman, noted Colored author of many dramas and volumes of poetry. It portrays the rise and progress of the Negro race and has two love stories beautifully interwoven. THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, 24th Avenue and Ogden. vid E. Over, D. D., Minister. telephones, York 6007, York 8677. The pastor gave the third of the series of sermons on "Stewardship" Sunday morning. There is undoubtedly a definite connection between the teaching of the pulpit and the splendid generosity in the congregation's giving. The truth was driven home with such force and clearness as none could escape. Sister Susie Morton of Chicago became a member of the church. The pastor made announcement of the seventy persons who will have charge of securing subscriptions for the current and mission funds for 1918. On the last Sunday of the year this committee will be served dinner at the church and then go out to receive the offering of the Lord's people for the New Year. It is expected that every member will remain at home until the visit of the committee. The budget adopted by the church for next year is $3,700.00 for current expense and $1,000.00 for benevolence. According to our membership the pledges should amount to $5,000.00. The annual meeting of the church will be held on Wednesday evening. January 3. A new board of trustees will be elected, presidents of auxiliaries confirmed, standing committees appointed, together with financial reports from all activities. The trustee board promises the most splendid report for the year 1917 that the church has ever received. Beginning with Monday, 51st of this month, the church will, in keeping with Christendom throughout the world, observe a week of prayer. All the flock is urged and expected to gather into these meetings. Surely in the light of present-day events there needs no further insistence. Two wonderful services are being prepared for Zion's congregation. Sunday evening the Sunday Shool will hold the WHITE GIFTS CHRISTMAS. A new and thrilling experience 6:00 o'clock Christmas morning is in store for those who attend. At service of rich interest, with appropriate music and sermon, will be held. The friends living near the church are urged to invite those living at a distance to be guests for the night before so that all may have the privilege of the service. This is a Christmas duty. A WHITE GIFTS CHRISTMAS. The most beautiful and appropriate service which can be imagined or enjoyed in relation to the Yule-tide activities will be held in the Zion Church, Sunday evening before Christmas. The nature and character of the program is suggested in the title "White Gifts For the King." It is the celebration of the Lord's natal day in a manner befitting the King and also the allegiance which all His subjects owe him. It is the recognition by a Christian congregation that the single thought and spirit which should dominate all our Christmas joys and activities should be Christ. That our joys and felicitations should rightly arise out of just one thought—His Great Gift to the world. And in recognition of this, we owe ourselves and our all to Him, and in our natural gratitude, following the example of the wise men, we bring to Him our gifts. Our Christmas activities in the past have too largely lost sight of our Lord. If the occasion is His birthday surely we should rightly honor Him—really make Him King. It is not then a question of hanging our gifts upon a Christmas tree for each other; such a custom can and does become entirely selfish, and the real blessedness of the occasion is lost. The observance of the White Gifts service during the past two years has been a great blessing to the church. It has awakened the spirit of generosity toward the needy community and has reacted in blessings upon the congregation itself. Consequently we are looking forward to the coming service with more than ordinary interest, and are inviting the whole community to enjoy it with us. The most beautiful decorations, the most appropriate music, the most generous offering of gifts, will delight and astonish all those present. There is nothing in Christian activities just like it, and very few can equal its pleasure. The offerings include self, service and substance—life, time and property—all given to the King. To denote purity and loyalty every offerings is made in white. The church is decorated in white. If you have ever seen the service we know we can count on your presence. If you have not, the most blessed thing you can do is to come. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTEKIAN. E. 23rd Ave. and Washington St. Pastor. J. A. Thos-Hazell, S. T. B.

Help to put the "fun" in Funston during their Xmas holidays for them. A MERRY XMAS TO SOME. This Xmas we are at war. We shall celebrate the Xmas differently than ever before. We shall use our best efforts to "conserve," as we wish peace on earth and glad tiding to all men. A merry Xmas means to such when one can be made to feel merrie because of the help he has given some one else; because they have really enjoyed and appreciated a real helpful Xmas. But we think of so many thousands of persons whose former Xmas' have been merry, but upon this occasion they are sad. The wives, sweetheartts and mothers and relatives of the 13 who were recently hung by court-matrial order and those whose lives are now periled with another court-martial, cannot have a merry Xmas, and it is for those apparently neglected and forgotten people that The Star feels depressed and sad. A merry Xmas to some, may not be a merry Xmas to all. Globe, Ariz., Dec. 15, 1917. Editor Denver Star. Dear Editor: Will you please send me my bill in full up to January the 1st, 1918?

Because of our insatiable desire, to constantly furnish you our newsy Star, even tho at times we were working without a printer or pressman, and under most difficult labor conditions, we naturally ran behind in our collections.

Lieutenant Werner is in charge of the files and has been looking up the men in camp who have no relatives or homes and he is preparing a list of names, expecting to bring about some sort of Christmas for them. Their Christmas is not going to amount to much unless some of the big-hearted people of the states close by, who are always making life worth while for some one, get to work for the men in Camp Funston. A package from some one would certainly be appreciated by these men, who haven't a relative in the world. COLORED WOMEN-ATTENTION. Our soldiers have never let the old flag fall. Will you?

Why, now the big folks crowding in, That cuts the room for me; I expect to lay right with them, Steve, Because Dearfield's going to be. I'll tell you, bud, it's nip and tuck, Be worse than Calvarie; Before you move me away from here Where Dearfield's going to be. That little white painted house up there, Called Dearfield School, Is spreading out that way which shows That Dearfield's going to be. There's Houston's Store and Post Office, And dwelling house make two Have gone up and don't you know You'd better go to the "Land Office," And pay your filing fee, So you can get a home out there Where Dearfield's going to be. You ought to ride out through the colony. Now if you want to know some more, Ask God and Rev. McCully. For they're the only ones can tell What Dearfield's going to be. THE TOWN OF DEARFIELD, COLORADO is not on a boom. Just a steady growth caused by the demand for labor and business of all kinds. Now is the time to join the wave of Dearfield prosperity. Dearfield needs 100 small houses to care for the families who are to arrive in the spring. Two hundred dollars cash will start a nice 3 or 4 room cottage that will rent for $5 or $6 per month.

The eleventh biennial meeting of the N. A. C. W. will be held in Denver, Colorado, July 8 to 12, 1918. Every officer, superintendent of departments, state president and delegate should present her credentials to the Committee and obtain official badge entitling her to vote as soon after arrival as possible. The Credential Committee, Miss Georgia A. Nugent, Chairman; Mrs. Mary H. Baker, of Wyoming; Mrs. Theresa G. Macon, of Illinois; Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, of North Carolina, and Miss Reberta Dunbar, of Rhode Island, Recording Secretary, will be in session Monday, July 8, from 11 a. m. to 12 m., and from 2 to 5 p. m. The Executive Board, Miss Hallie Q: Brown, Chairman, will hold their first session at 5 p. m., July 8. Mrs. Myrtle Cook, Chairman of Program Committee, has been able to nearly complete a program which covers the newer and more striking phases of work which has been called for, due to the extraordinary time through which we are passing. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Superintendent of Department for Suppression of Lynching and Mob Violence, will have a report of unusual interest to present. The Entertainment Committee are arranging for short trips to Pike's Peak, Colorado Springs, the Garden of the Gods, and also for a mid-day luncheon to be served free to the delegates. The Committee in charge of Transportation has announced rates from the East, through Mrs. Mazie Mosselle Griffin. Mrs. G. A. Ross, of Denver, representing the West, and Mrs. Mabel Keith Howard, of South Carolina, will announce rates for the South. Information concerning board and lodging may be obtained from Mrs. M. E. Dishman, 2439 Glipin Street, Denver, Colorado, General Chairman of Arrangements for Denver. Among the interesting things scheduled will be the burning of the Douglas mortgage, the announcement of the Roll of Honor and the winner of the Special Tablet; also the election of the Board of Trustees to manage the Douglass Home which will pass to the entire control and management of the National Association of Colored Women. The American Colored women should be aroused as never before, to greater activity. New duties will be placed upon our women through the Amendment to the Constitution, which will doubtless become a law at the coming session of Congress. At the smallest calculation, three million Colored women will receive the ballot, which is the greatest power that has been given us since the emancipation, to correct some of the evils that have crushed us. Government ownership of railroads will wipe out the notorious, offensive, undemocratic Jim Crow cars, into which we have been herded during the past twenty years, regardless of rights as American citizens. Just now, a call is coming to you, as thrown across a deep valley. Will you, will you be there? Let the answer come: "We will, we will be there!" All dues and per capita taxes should be in the hands of the National Treasurer. Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson. 548 East Spring Street, Columbus, Ohio, ms 6161 MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE TOP. DENVER'S THEATRE IN FIVE POINTS. THE It is not often that men like to face a stern business proposition bristling with unpleasant memories or apparent failure. But it remained for Sam R. McDaniel, J. C. Boone and H. P. Covington to attempt to provide the Negroes in Denver, especially around Five Points, with a first-class vaudeville and picture show. Every effort has been put forward to make this achievement the greatest in our commercial line.

"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee."—Ps. 4:22. It is one of the marks of the inspiration of the Psalms that we turn quite naturally to their splendid phrases to find expression for our deepest thoughts. When our hearts are stirred, the right words do not always come to us. But we find them in the Psalter. And, if I mistake not, there is in the words of the fifty-fifth Psalm a quite extraordinary appropriateness to our thoughts in these great days of alternate hope and fear, and anger and grief, and pride and patience. It is a Psalm for time of war; it is war that the Psalmist had in his thoughts. And it seems to express the varying moods which we observe in our neighbors, and of which we are half conscious in ourselves, as we try to keep our mental sanity, our Christian faith. The Psalm begins and ends with prayer, for it is the outpouring of his heart's desires by a real man; but he passes through various phases of thought as he prays—some worthy of the highest Christian saintliness—some not so worthy, for he had the weaknesses common to our poor humanity. "Hear my prayer." So he begins. It is the inevitable petition of an unquiet soul. "Hear my prayer." But the singer is afraid, for the danger is near. "The ungodyly cometh on so fast; they are minded to do some mischief, so maliciously are they set against me." He is faintharted, he doubts the ultimate issue. "My heart is disquieted within me—fearfulness and trembling are common upon me." And he would fain escape from the horror and misery of it all. "Oh, for the wings of a dove, for then would I flee away and be at rest. I would get me away far off . . ." to the wilderness, if need be. "I would make haste to escape." "Oh, for the wings of a dove!" The words, when set to the luscious music of Mendelssohn, charm the ear, and they find a response in that desire for peace and rest which is the emotion of every tender and kindly heart. "Oh, for the wings of a dove!" Yet that is not the Christian attitude to the stern realities of life. It is a mood through which our thoughts may pass. But it is an unworthy mood. It is not the mood of faith, and another Psalm tells us so. "In the Lord I put my trust; how say ye then to my soul that she should flee as a bird unto the hill?" And so we pass on to the best thought of all—the thought which is the true key to the brave old Psalmist's courage and hope. With it he begins—"Hear my prayer," for that is the prayer of faith as well as the prayer of fearfulness. To it he passes on—"As for me, I will call upon God, and the Lord shall save me. In the evening and morning and at noonday will I pray, and that instantly; and he shall hear my voice." For this is the mood of prayer, of the consecration of all high endeavor, of the hallowing of pain. "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee." Here is no counsel for a weakling or a craven, but of a brave man who has faced the worst. "Cast thy burden upon the Lord." It does not mean that we shall leave the part of danger to others, and rest in security the while, craven-hearted. It is not to sing, "Oh, for the wings of a dove, that there may be a way of escape." Nor does it mean that, as we fight, we curse the while. To fight without cursing in the cause of righteousness is to follow in the steps of the great Captain of the Christian soul. And so it means that we shall best fortify our spirits by prayer. And for us all, even while our hearts leap as we read of the deeds done by those of our own blood and speech—for us all, the Psalmist's message is, "Cast thy burden upon the Lord." This is his final mood; this is the issue of his thought. Cast thy burden here.

For the family which has toast daily and often have the slices trimmed and crumbs that are left from preparing sandwiches as well as crusts, the problem of wasting none needs careful thought. The crumbs should be well dried, ground through the meat left from preparing sandwiches as well as crusts, the problem of wasting none needs careful thought. The crumbs should be well dried, ground through the meat chopper, then made into bread. Take four cupfuls of hot water, a half cupful of molasses, one yeast cake, two cupfuls of graham flour, and three cupfuls of bread crumbs, mix and add enough white flour to make a stiff dough, let rise, work down, place at once in tins, let rise again, and bake. Four Quartes of Grapefruit Sherbet—Sometimes when entertaining it may be convenient to use the following: Two and a half cupfuls of water, five cupfuls each of sugar and grape juice, three teaspoonfuls of gelatin, one and a fourth cupfuls of lemon juice. Soften the gelatin in an additional fourth of a cupful of water, boll the sugar and water 15 minutes, cool, add fruit juice and froze as usual. Chilli Con Carne—Take two pods of fresh or dried chili peppers, two pounds of round steak, one-fourth of a cupful of pork fat or drippings, one clove of garlic, a teaspoonful of salt, a cupful of dried beans, four tablespoonfuls of flour. Soak the beans over night and let simmer in fresh water until tender. Discard the seeds in the peppers or if the dried ones are used soak them until soft in warm water, then scrape the pulp into the water and discard the skin. Out the steak in small pieces and cook in fat until well browned, add the flour to the fat in the pan and stir until well browned; A MERRY XMAS and Happy New Year Even tho' in a world-wide tour, "O High Cost of Living," Knocking on our door Constantly, We are able to stand erect And Greet you with the Compliments of the Season.

The minister, a kindly man of about forty years, tall, impressive, with slightly gray hair and steel gray eyes, arose to speak. The woman in white was seated close by him. "It is useless to repeat the details of the God-verted tragedy of a short week ago," he said. "Sometimes, dear friends, the Almighty sends a crushing blow to awaken our slumbering souls. A woman has lived in our midst for the past ten years. Inclosed in her unfortunate body was a wonderful soul, ever hoping for a chance to develop—no one of us seemed to care. "The heroic deed this woman performed in saving my only boy proves of what she is made. I come before you this afternoon to state that the lady in white who sits at my side has just consented to be my wife." Mildred Newcomb had had an experience! She sought out Kate and learned her story. She cared for Kate and helped her recover from the strain of the rescue. Mildred dressed Kate in white. It was at Mildred's home that the swift courtship of a worth-while Christian man concluded in Kate's accepting the minister. Mildred came to know a courageous, however unfortunate, woman. She felt ready to write her story. Assisted by Mr. Norris' letter of introduction, Mildred placed her story in the hands of Mr. Marvin. Her literary career was successfully begun because she had learned to live—as it is—Catherine Battle, Chicago American. May Ralse Sunken Ships. An interesting paragraph in shipping says that many of the torpeded vessels that He at the bottom of the sea may be salved after the war. "Neither ships nor cargoes," it affirms, "except perishable materials and foodstuff, deteriorate very much under water. When a vessel is being refloated, a barrel of oil is poured on the surface of the water in order to leave a deposit over the machinery. Repairs are quickly effected, and sections shattered by torpedo present no great difficulties in the work of salvage. Present 5c Per Issue Share Big Producers and Geologists our location.

IF YOU WANT TO TALK RELIGION, GO TO CHURCH; BUT IF YOU WANT JOB PRINTING, ADVERTISING, OR TO READ A NEWSY, RACE PAPER, THEN CALL UP THE DEN- TO, ERTABLISH HOME, FOR Bishop Oscar Ehlarsen, who has been engaged in missionary work throughout the United States, arrived in Denver this week to establish a home for orphans and Christian workers, which, according to the present plan, will become the center of a movement. He has purchased the property at 2070 South Milwaukee street, formerly occupied by the University Park postoffice, and will equip the place for the work as soon as he has sufficient funds. A workshop for the benefit of orphans and invalids is to be established under the auspices of the Life-Savior Apostolic Benevolent church, of which Bishop Oscar Ehlarsen is the founder. A piece of property has been purchased in University Park at 2070 South Milwaukee street for this purpose. Bishop Einarsen is endeavoring to interest the public in his cause, which has been pronounced worthy by the American Bank & Trust Company and others who have investigated it. He appeals for donations of money or useful articles. The founder of the movement, who was incapacitated for manual labor by an injury to the spine sustained early in life, has placed all of his savings in the fund for the purchase of the land and building. He states that all Life-Savior laborers will receive, so far as possible, necessities of life, but no money salary. State President of Colored Women's Clubs. My dear Co-Worker: NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN I have good news for you. God is answering our prayers. I appeared before the Rules Committee of the House of Representatives, Friday, August 3rd, and that night Congressman Dyer phoned me that the Committee was wonderfully impressed and had decided to recommend that the Resolution, begging Federal Investigation be taken up by Congress. Now, we must win. God will help us if we help ourselves. Keep at it! WORK! PETITIONS! PETITIONS! PETITIONS are the things that will prove that there is countrywide sentiment and determination back of this demanding that an end be put to mob violence. Now, I will not rest until every Congressman is appealed to to take a stand for justice and protection. Will you get men to sign these Petititions in ink, and you divide the number and send them directly to the members of Congress from your State? Send them to men in the House and in the Senate. See that the work is neatly done so as to reflect the intelligence that there is back of this movement. Tell our people to take pride and pleasure in this. Get influential white friends to sign some of them. Give them the literature and urge them to see their patriotic duty in saving America from mob violence. Get signatures. Every Petition counts. Fill out the inclosed memorandum and send it at once, to me. This memorandum goes to Congressman Dyer. He wants to keep close tab on what is being done by the Colored people themselves. Send each Congressman one of the inclosed tags. Write a very short letter, telling him you know he is going to hear the voice of his fellow countryman, pleading for justice and protection. Make it bristle with patriotism, but make him feel that this country is facing a problem at home that is no less serious than the problem abroad. Work with us in this. Pray with us and we will win.

FAILURES Often Times It Is the Great Revealer of God's Mercy, Love and Power to Deliver. The disciples learned through their falls, but they never learned anything which would not have been better learned through their faith. It is enough to say that God will teach us through our stumblings when that is the only text-book left to teach us out of. We need not go into any raptures about failure. When he had denied his Lord and then suddenly saw him in all his truth and beauty, Peter knew well enough that he might have seen his Lord more clearly without a fall. But be that as it may, the fall was there, and the wonder of it was that his master was still willing to reveal himself through what was left. Almost any master could take the defects and mistakes of his disciples and point out what they had lost, but who else would take the meanest and most contemptible passages in one's existence and make even them a lens through which they could see the divine if they would? There are more normal ways of revelation, points out the Sunday School Times, but when this is the only way we have left to God, then he takes our falls and reveals himself through them. Without ever once saying that the fall was upward, or that the sin was goodness in the making, the Bible takes what men give and shows how wonderfully God will commence the miracle of repair. It may be that we do not learn as we might because we are too proud to learn through the only means we have left for God to employ in teaching us. A great fall may still be a great revealer. When we have had one we may look upward because there is nowhere else to look. At last we look unto the hills whence cometh our help. One of the marks of a Christian believer is that to him a fall is something different from what it is to another man. To the non-Christian a fall may seem nothing but a finish. To the Christian it must in some way seem more terrible than to anybody else. But though he is cast down, he is not destroyed. Every Christian is brought very low at times. To anyone else it would be the end; but he is taught to expect something more. Joseph Parker, who so constantly exhibited the exuberance of the Gospel, said: "I have known as nearly as any man what it was to be forsaken, I have reached out and found no help, that is, no lateral help. The only direction from which help could come to me was vertical." These exhaustions ought never to have been, but they are here, and they may be made the ground of revelations. When we cannot pray to God out of our nearness to him, then we can pray out of our distance. George MacDonald said that sometimes he felt he had no other claim upon God except that he was so miserable; and he made that claim. One man lets his weakness overwhelm him. His religion ends there. But another takes his stand upon his weakness, it is all he has, and he uses that as an approach to God; and the willingness to do that has been a great reveler to men. Pride may ruin us, it may keep us waiting until we have some better basis on which to speak to God—and we never find that basis. Who would not wish that he might look into God's face from a life that was all clear? But we cannot. The Pharisee tried it in the temple and failed. The publican knew that if he was to see God at all he must see him from the standpoint of sin and shame; throwing away his pride, waiting for nothing, saying "God be merciful to me a sinner," he saw God. There is not a sinner in the world who may not add to the glories of revelation. "God fulfills himself in many ways." We could wish that the truth might come to us steadily, through eyes that are always bright and glad. But the truth comes to many of us through tears. It may come that way. Let us not despise our disappointments. So far our sins and falls may have only revealed to us ourselves. They may have only intensified our self-knowledge. This is something; but if it is all, it may end in death. But when one realizes that just this experience is what Christ has been looking for, and that, made over to him, he may make it a means of revelation, then our greatest days may be drawing nigh. You are having some terrible disappointment or sorrow or failure. Do not let it be that and nothing more. Do not be proud about it. Do not say you will not see God unless he comes in the grand way. If this is all you have by way of present experience, then it will suit God better than anything else you can offer. Christ always took men just where they were. He never asked that the situation should be altered. He said nothing about "hard cases." There was no depth to which one had fallen which might not become a ground from which to rise again. Just there the soul may find, if it is humble enough, the help which just matches his need. When Thoreau fell and sprained his ankle in the woods, as he lay on the ground looking about he saw for the first time in many months the herb arnica mollis, good for sprains, and felt it was a parable of much else in the spiritual world. So when our first shame and discouragements are over, we are to ask, "What may this yet mean to me?" It may be the beginning of greater revelation than we have yet received.
