Great Field for Development--As Presented by Our Western Cor- The City of Lincoln was incorporated about the year of 1870. It is situated in the Southeastern part of the State and is the county seat of Lancaster county, as well as the capital of Nebraska, with a population of about 65,000 inhabitants, including nearly all nationalities. The climate is generally considered healthful. In winter it is almost invariably severe and cold; the summers are mild and pleasant, but not unlike the other prairie states, the thermometer has been known to register as low a point in winter and as high a point in summer as any place in the Union. The city is laid in squares running East and West and North and South. The streets running North and South are numerically named and those running East and West are Alphabetically named, O street being the principal thoroughfare. In the way of boulevards there are some shaded streets and avenues extending through and from the suburbs of the city finally merging into the dusty county roads. The resident portion of the city does not consist of many fine mansions like other cities, but one can see that the residents have spared no pains, but rather take great pride in beautifying their homes, which after all is more admirable. A cottage shaded with verdant foliage peeping out of vines shrubbery, arrayed in that matchless grandeur of nature is more enchanting than a palace of gold. The business portion of the city extends from N street North to Q street and from Seventh st. and Viaduct East to Sixteenth st. Among the principle buildings may be mentioned the magnificent structures on the university campus, which is centrally located; the State capital building; the Lincoln highschool building; the county court house, the new auditorium, the farmers and merchants building; the Lincoln Conservatory of Music, the Burr, the Richards the Rawi ins blocks and others of more or less importance, centrally located including two theaters, the Funcke and the Oliver and several magnificent churches. Several Charitable institutions of which the House of the Friendless is the most important. Situated near Lincoln is the State Asylum for insane and the State Penitentiary. The Lincoln, the Grand and the Lindell, the Capital and the Windsor are the principle hotels. The city affords only one public park called the City park which condition appeals for improvement. Located not far are Lincoln Park and Burlington Beach Park, which are easy to access by the electric street railway The court house grounds, the State capital grounds, and Fitzgerald's are much frequented by the lovers of nature in summer Agriculture, commerce and some little manufacture are the chief industries and occupation. While Lincoln is an inland city, it is however quite a railroad center and easy access to and from by wagons roads, good omnibus and transfer lines and a good tolerable street railway system. The Burlington, Rock Island, Missouri Pacific and their branches are the principal railroads running in and out of Lincoln and throughout the State, this engendering commerce and facillitating transportation. The largest exports of the State are grain, sugar, stock and cured meats. The chief imports are merchandise various manufactured products and coal. Only about 10 per cent. of the population of this city are colored. They are employed in various menial positions What they are doing; what they aught to do, and what they can do will be the subject of your correspondent under special heading, accompanied by photos of some of the leading citizens for publication. Owing to some inconsistency in the arrangements of the plan formulated for the sketch of Lincoln. We will be compelled to publish a limited amount each week, instead of making the The Recorder.

J T. Knapper succeeded Rev. Geiger and served eighteen months. During his charge the lot was paid for, and some improvements made on the church, five members were added to the congregation. It is probably due to the ability that the Rev. E P. Geiger showed, during REV. E. P. GEIGER, Hh. B. Who closes his Conference year at Lincoln, Neb., M.E.

E. church which number about sixty-four is represented some of the oldest and best colored families of Lincoln, and during the past winter a great protrated meeting was conducted by the Rev. T. W. Fulghen a celebrated divine of Valley Falls, Kan. Your correspondent had the pleasure of attending the some of the meetings and can speak in the highest praise of of their meri's. The plan of salvation seemed so simple that a little child could grasp the meaning. Many came under the influence There were times when several of the members grew enthusiastic and vented their feelings by shouting in so many astonishing ways and on two occasions the little church seemed to rock like the cradle in the deep. There was more activity manifested by people in religious circles than ever before in Lincoln. Nearly all the young girls have joined that great salvation army and some the young men The young people are doing a good work; have organized a good chest under the leadership of Prof. William Blakely which gave great popularity to the church. Among the oldest and most popular members may be mentioned: Mother Curtis, Mrs. James Bedell, Mrs. Ida Curtis, Mr. and Mrs. Lucas, Mrs. Lizzie Bratcher, (we make special mention of Mrs. Bratcher who has the honor of being the instrument of bringing so may to accept the plan of salvation more than any other active member) Mr. W.

We have special mention of Brother Fred Curtis who deprived of his sight, is always on hand when the church door is open he takes an active part in the services and literary society and everything connected with the church or for the elevation of mankind The Rev. E P Geiger was born at Gainville, Ala., in the year 1869. In his youth, he attended a private school at Vicksburg, Miss., where he made some progress in the way of education He took up the threads of his education again under a private tutor in St. Louis where his inclination lead him to seek the pastoral field. He entered the ministry in 1891 and took a short course in the Breaker University at Baldwin, Kan., and in Sept. 1892, he entered the Southwest Kansas College at Windfield, Kan., and graduated from that institution in 1899 with the degree of Ph, B. His first charge was at Lincoln, Neb., where he served six months of useful labor showing such ability that at the end of eighteen months he was reassigned to the pastoral charge of Newman M. E. church. During his second term the church undergone a wonderful change both spiritually and temporally. Extensive repairs have been made upon the building and twenty members have been added, to the congregation. Rev. Geiger has made many warm friends in Lincoln. He is highly esteemed by the people and dearly loved by the church. He will will leave Lincoln without a blemish upon integrity as a minister and citizen. Many will regret his department as they welcomed his advent. He will doubtless enter a new and broader field of labor and carries with him them the respect, devotion and well wishes of all who know him. Crawfordsville Notes.

A Michigan Factory Refuses To Hire Colored Help. It is reported that the Farwell overalls factory in Benton Harbor last Monday morning, refused the applications by ten respectable colored women of that town for situations, on the ground, it is alleged, that "colored people need not apply." The Firm an important in Benton Harbor, and it is said they are forming an organization which has for its object not only the boycotting of the goods the company manufactures, but every store in town whose owners either handle the good, or patronize the factory in any ways. The excitement among them is intense. Manager Campbell said that he has had heard nothing of the trouble. He said the company did not employ colored help, as most of the employees were girls and they preferred to have all their companions white. The color line was drawn, he said, for the sake of the girl employees, and not because the company had any objection to colored. Notice!

The gold bill has become a law and the United States takes its place-thanks to the Republican party-with the other enlightened nations of the world, idstead of longer lagging behind with Mexico, China and Bolivia. If the Rev. Mr. Sheldon would give us an illustration of how Christ would preach in the pulpit, most people would think it in better taste than his present performance-although both seem to savor of presumption The request to the United States to act as intermediary between Great Britian and the Transvaal, shows the good sense of President McKinley's position in the matter. By studiously abstaining from meddling, he has earned the good will of both parties and is in a position to stop the blood-shed as soon as matters look a little more favorable. The shipping bill, so much needed by our marine interests, has been favorably reported to the House of Representatives by the unanimous vote of the Republican members of the committee which considered it. It has been modified to meet all genuine desires for its improvement, and must now be passed without regard to the objections of those who cannot see further than their noses and are unwilling to spend a little money in order to reap fourfold returns. The Potto Rican bill is still hanging between heaven and earth, and it is impossible to tell how it will be decided until the final vote is taken. The Republican party, nowever, may be trusted to debate the matter fully and to do the very best thing possible under all the circumstances of the case. If it has made a mistake—which is by no means certain, in spite of popu lar clamor—it will be brave enough and great enough to retrace its footsteps, and the country will honor it for so doing. --- The Republican Senators have wisely decided on a policy of delay in regard to Porto Rico. A month or so more will not hurt the island and may heal party differences and bring out some satisfactory solution of what is, perhaps, in all its consequences, the most important question of this generation. This is the very best decision that could be reached at present. After the excitement of the moment is over, Senators may be able to come together on a basis now impossible, instead of breaking the party into factions, "The Negro in Business" a social study made and published under the direction of the Atlanta (Ga.) University, shows that during the last thirty years the Negro business-men in the United States have made gratifying progress. There are now at least 5,000 of them, the term "business-man" being interpreted to include all with stocks of goods to sell and all others who have at least $500 of capital invested. Thirty-six capitalists are reported with about $750,000 invested. There are four Negro banks and several large insurance companies. Thirteen colored building and loan associations are reported. The estimated to tal capital invested by the American Negro in business is $8,784,637, which, considering the poverty and training of the freedmen, is a creditable accomplishment. The Negroes also have three magazines, three daily papers, eleven school papers and 136 weekly papers. In thirty years has his representatives in over eighty kinds of business enterprises. Considering the vast business interests of this country this seems small, but it is pioneer work of an encouraging character and is in every way creditable to the race. -The Chicago Tribune. A reital of such facts as the above can always be counted as doing a world of good in behalf of the Negro. His progress is being felt the world over. The coming census is a matter of interest to the American Negro. He will be expected to answer the enumerator when he comes next June, and naturally wishes to make a good showing the big volumes that are to be printed. The great books, when printed, will show how fast the colored people have been improving and where they have made greatest progress.

Subject: "Review of the First Quarter—Golden Text1... "The Son of Man Came not to be Ministered Unto, But to Minister." (Mark 10:45). Home Readings: Monday, March 26 (Luke 2:1:16) Tuesday, March 27 (Luke 2:41:52) Wed. Mar. 28 (Matt. 3:13 to 4:11) Thursday, March 29 (John 1:35:46) Friday, March 30 (John 3:1:18) Saturday, March 31 (John 4:5:26) Sunday, April 1 (Mark 1:21:34) Of all lessons, the review is usually the hardest to prepare, and the hardest to conduct; largely because teachers and scholars study imperfectly and fail to get a clear view of the subjects either as a continuous whole or as separate parts. But when all members carefully prepare the lessons no exercise is more generally enjoyed than a well conducted quarterly review. The lessons for the past three months are very simple and largely historical, are easy to be reviewed, provided that special parts are assigned to particular classes and competent persons in advance. Place on the blackboard a diagram giving the number of the lessons, the initials of the titles, and parts of the golden texts, as follows:— Lesson, Title and Golden Text. 1. B. of J. Thou shalt call his name— 2. J. v. J. And J. increased in wisdom— 3. P. of J. B. Prepare ye the way of the Lord. 4. B. and t. of J. This is my beloved Son— 5. F. D. of J. They followed Jesus. 6. J. and N. For God so loved— 7. J. at J. W. God is a spirit— 8. J. R. at N. He came unto his own— 9. J. H. in C. And he healed many 10. P. h. The Son of man hath power— 11. J. at M. h. He said unto him, follow—. 12. R. The son of man came not—. After the opening exercises let the leader conduct a five minutes blackboard drill. Have the intermediate classes recite the titles and the primary classes the golden texts; then the right section, the left section, and finally the whole school in concert. Then let the leader give the title of the lesson to be considered, and have the young ladies' classes name the persons and the young men's classes name the places mentioned. After that call out some one who has been appointed to read an essay one or two minutes in length or to give a brief word picture concerning the events or doctrines taught in the lesson. If there be sufficient time, call for volunteers to respond to two questions on the most prominent lessons. What in your opinion, is the most important truth taught in this lesson and what is the best illustration or quotation which you can recite in order to throw light upon and to fix its teachings in our memories? This suggested program can be varied endlessly; but whatever may be the plan, the leader must thoroughly prepare for any emergency. In case others on the program fail and no substitute is at hand, the leader himself must respond as required. Another interesting review consists of a series of word pictures spoken by competent leaders. In studying the story of Jesus, fix clearly in mind its several historic periods: 1.—Introductions to the several gospels; 2.—The birth and youth of Jesus; 3.—A year of preparation A. D. 26; 4.—The first year of his ministry A. D. 27; 5.—The second year of his ministry A. D. 28; 6.—The third year of his ministry A. D. 29; 7.—The last three months ran to March A. D. 30; 8.—The Passion week, and succeeding events. With this outline, various methods of study will be possible; but always make the Master the central figure, of course considering His relation to others. Thus, in the second period, he lived a quiet and peaceful life. In the third he was baptised and tempted, officially ordained and personally prepared. In the fourth he gained friends, purified the temple, taught Nicodemus and the Samaritan woman, healed the nobleman's son, and revealed that his blessings were for Jew, Samaritan and Greek. In the fifth he performed many miracles, taught parables, made two tours through Galilee, appointed the twelve, preached the sermon on the mount and reached the height of his popularity at Capernaum. In the sixth he was rejected a second time at Nazareth, heard of the death of John, fed the thousands, foretold his death, suffered increasing opposition, preached many sermons and visited Jerusalem at the feast of dedication. In the seventh he retired across the Jordan, taught the deeper things of the gospel, performed fewer miracles, and returned to Jerusalem. In the eighth he celebrated the passover, was crucified, rose again and ascended on high. The Sunday school lessons for the first quarter of 1930 pertain to events from the first to the middle of the fifth period. Those of the second quarter extend to April A. D. 29 in the sixth period. Those of the third quarter extend to autumn of the same year. The lessons of the fourth quarter cover only the seventh period. The lessons for the first quarter of 1901 end with the crucifixion and burial of Jesus; and the lessons for the second quarter of 1901 are concerning the resurrection and subsequent appearances of the Lord.—E. A. DeVore, D. D. Pardon Begets Joy and Praise. "The effect of every burden laid down is to leave us relieved; and when the soul has laid down that of its faults at the feet of God, it feels as though it had wings."—Eugenie de Guerin.

Writing "On the Cars in Texas." December 23, 1899, Ell Perkins (M. D. Landon) says: "Editor American Economist: met a farmer free trade Democrat on the cars in Texas, a noted Texas lawyer. He has been converted to protective tariff. Free wool and free jute did it. He is going to make speeches, with fifty other lawyers, for McKinley, protection, sound money and anti-contraction. Inclosed find $1, for which send him the American Economist. Put in a bundle of tracks for him, too. ELL PERKINS." ELI PERKINS. The fact that similar letters are constantly received, asking for the American Economist and other publications of the American Protective Tariff League, is a significant indication of the keen interest felt in protection as a vital issue. The additional fact that a large proportion of these letters come from points in the southern states suggests that the fifty Texas as lawyers who are going to take the stump for McKinley this year will have plenty of company. IN THE EAST. Why It Votes Down Bryan and His Ideas The bottom of the belief of Mr. Bryan and the Democratic leaders is that Democracy can succeed only by stirring up the poor, lazy and stupid against a state of society which bestows rewards upon intelligence, thrift and industry. It is just as well to face the fact that there exists a natural antagonism between the elements described, which find expression in heavy Democratic votes in the least intelligent parts of some cities, and is the basis of every hope indulged by the lowest demagogues who preach hatred of law, of property and of capital. Mr. Bryan can find a mob in nearly every great city which will yell itself hoarse in greeting the worst things he can say against the employers of labor, the laws which protect property and the enterprise which combines intelligence and money and toil to produce wealth. His blunder and that of his advisers is in supposing that such mobs represent or ever can represent in this region more than a minority of voters. The fact has been a thousand times stated, but by few men comprehended in its fullest meaning, that the large majority of laborers in this region are incipient capitalists. They have already begun the saving which lifts them entirely above those who spend everything as they go. Let Bryan look at the number of depositors in savings banks in eastern states—4,974,120 where the last census shows only 3,948,999 families—and if he answers that many deposits are not by the wage-earning class, let him take any record or estimate he can anywhere as to the proportion of wage earners who have such deposits. Then let him next look at the record of the building and loan associations, and learn how many workingmen have able to get homes built for them. Then let him seek out the number of homes occupied by their own in the eastern states in 1890 no less than 1,615,487, the number of all families was 3,948,999, and reflect that this great army of wage earners, like those having now $1.920,276,446 in money saved and deposited in savings banks alone in these eastern states has a definite personal interest on the side of property, of law and order, of sound money and no swindling of creditors by debasement of the currency. When Mr. Bryan puts his mind on this inquiry he will be amazed to discover that a clear majority of the wage earners themselves have a direct personal interest in voting down Bryan and any party that accepts his notions. If he goes further and remembers' that most of the farmers also have property interests at stake, that the merchants and traders and manufacturers are necessarily inclined by their personal business interests to oppose the party of unsound money, or social discord and anarchy, he will comprehend better than he has thus far the reason why this is indeed for him "the enemy's country." He will be the more he makes himself known to the state than the east, his temper, his real opinions, his ideals and likes and dislikes, the more enemies he will find in this section who will count it their principal duty at any election to vote down Bryan and his ideas—Exchange.

This giving back is the natural fruit of right living, and be- cause it is a natural result that inevit- ably follows, it is termed “inherit”— not made ours by anything that man does like in a business transaction, but the earth is ours to use, own, and govern, because it is the law of God’s ‘will that the meek or those who live uptight shall prosper in the earth, shall be the Lords of the earth for God.

The barbers profession is the most consery- ative among all classes of business. ‘They are very careful about allowing themselves to be paraded and manipu- lated by public improvements. ‘There- fore Bethel feels herself highly hon orediat the prospect of having this re- spectable and refined class of artists take up the interests of the church in haa great rally, and bring us their gifts. The church will be decorated for the occasion, a special sermon preached and a high service order will be rendered with the use of the deca- logue, the Apostles creed and the Te Deum.
