It must be conceded that no race of people can pass through two and a half centuries of cruel and relentless training for the benefit of others without being to a greater or lesser extent injuriously affected. That the Afro-American race, thrown into such a system of training for such a period of time, developed traits and characteristics at variance with nature's law, and peculiar to itself, is natural, and we designate such peculiar traits and characteristics the disease of the race. Before we can locate the nature and extent of the ills of the Afro-American and establish how far adverse training and influences have carried him from a normal state, we shall have to discover by comparisons how far, in his secondary state of freedom, he differs from man in an original state of freedom. That can best be done by comparing the ideals, feelings and dispositions of the Afro-American with those of man in an original state, whose ideals, feelings and dispositions are what nature made them, as they have not been disturbed injuriously by the art of man. The question may be asked, "What are ideals?" and answered by saying that ideals, man's highest conception of persons, places, things or qualities — sometimes visionary and unattainable, are the heights to which individuals, families, races or nations aspire, and by which they are most largely influenced. All do not have the same ideals, nor are the standards of ideals stationary. Like plants, ideals are susceptible of development, and their various standards depend upon the kind of cultivation had in their production. In a state of natural freedom, all races have their human ideals—the highest conceptions of man, in themselves, and any variation from this rule indicates that nature has been disturbed. A comparative examination will show how far adverse training has carried the Afro-American during his period of bondage from the universal law of self-appreciation, so predominating, not alone in man in a natural state of freedom, but in every living thing. a want of self-preservation instead, we must learn to which extent he has been warped, and the means used, before we are prepared to use countervailing influences as a means of his rehabilitation; learn how far his adverse training has carried him from the normal latitude and longitude of human nature. Then the variations seen in physical likeness, languages, customs, habits and manners can only be accounted for by the variations of climatic effects, and other natural causes and conditions to which their descendants have been subjected since the flood, evidences of which are abundant on every hand, through or by the effect which a short change of climate and other natural conditions have upon the physical likeness, language, customs and habits of individuals under our very eyes. We get our various variations from greater or lesser effects of the same causes, or intermixtures. Man's Ideals in a Natural State of Freedom. So that when the children of each brother emerged from their isolated home in the wilderness, accustomed to see only persons in their own physical likeness, to hear only their own language spoken and to witness only their own customs, habits and manners, they were greatly shocked and confused at meeting their cousins, and concluded that the differences seen were brought about by some great misfortune visited upon them. As each race's ideal man is in itself, it paints, pictures or models man in the physical likeness of its own members, and having no higher conception of the forms of God and angels than the physical form of its own members, it paints, pictures or models the forms of God and angels in their physical likeness. That is, the Chinese god or angel is like the Chinaman, the Japanese is like the Japanese, the African is like the African, the white man's like the white man, and the Indian's is like the Indian. These are the conceptions, ideals and feelings which nature's God has not only given every race of man, but every living thing, a demonstration of which may be seen as clearly in the self-appreciation and self-defense of the little ant as was seen in the Japanese-Russian war; and any variation from them is evidence that some unnatural force or influence has interfered with or arrested nature's law. Symptoms. (1) The white man, among whom Afro-Americans have dwelt for the last three hundred years, and who is responsible for every necular trait and characteristic exhibited by them, and by whom they were kept in such ignorance that they could neither paint, picture nor model themselves nor anything else, models the most highly developed members of his race in the shape of artistic doll models, DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1917. Important Announcement Because of the immense number of people who have expressed a desire to join after the beginning of the year, we have decided to extend the time for enrolling members. --- 210 SIXTH AVE. and place them on sale. and place them on sale. With two objects in view—one to amuse his offspring, and the other to keep such an ideal before its eyes as will develop a spirit that will be prepaired of the body in which it dwells, and the race with which that body is connected—he visits places once or twice a year where these models are kept, and boys one or more. His Afro-American neighbor in imitation, without thinking of psychological or spiritual effects of pictures, models, or ideals, follows him to the same shop with only one object in view, merely to arouse his child, and feels that he ought to have the same thing that his white neighbor's child has. But the shopkeeper, upon his approach, believing that like the white man he would follow the law of nature in demanding a model in the physical likeness of his infant, reaches under the counter and draws out and offers him a beautiful model in exact physical likeness of his own offspring, whereupon he turns his back on the shopkeeper in anger and disgust, declaring that in offering him "that old black thing" he meant to insult him, and demands a model in the physical likeness of a white child; and thereby he begins the work of developing a white spirit in a black body, which at or before maturity will hate the body that carries it and despise the race with which that body is connected. As this disposition is not known by a member of any other race, even including the native African, it is a deviation from nature's law and a symptom of a diseased spirit, the influence which impelled such disposition. (2) Another symptom of a diseased spirit is shown in the fact that the Afro-American's ideal employer is white, and that he deems it an unbearable disgrace to serve a member of his own race, while all other tribes and nations, in their state of natural freedom, rather serve members of their own particular tribes than any others.

A brief response was made by Rev. Mr. Booker. The Rev. Henry Arthur Booker, son of Wijliam and Julia Booker, was born in Amelia county, Va., about three miles from Amelia Court House, in 1875. As a boy he attended the schools in the county, but when he was still very young his mother died, leaving him, with three brothers and one sister, to make their way in the world as best they could with the help of a good father. Shortly after the death of his mother his father went to Richmond, Va., secured work and sent for his children. Here young Booker worked with his father and then in other places till 1888, when his father died. He then went north, going first to Stamford, Conn., where he remained for about a year, and then to Brooklyn, where he was converted in the Bethany Baptist church, baptized and became an active worker. It was soon evident that he was called to the ministry, and, feeling the need of preparation, he consulted his pastor, Rev. R. I. Gaines, who advised him to take a course of study. Before his conversion Rev. Mr. Book. Bex. C. M. Wilson and M. F. Booster, Propa.

Bern Washington Portrait A rare and curious mozotint portrait of George Washington in the library of the late Lafayette S. Richardson of Lowell, Mass., was auctioned off last year in Boston. It is entitled "George Washington, late president of the United States of America, etc" and was published March 14, 1891, by J. Hinton Lindon. It is a small folio and is colored by hand. It looks as much like George Ull. as it does the Father of His Country. Baker, who wrote the "Engraved Portraits of Washington," says that only one impression of this mozotint has come under the notice of the writer. It was in neither the Clarkson nor the Carson sale of Washington portraits. Imalist on Yellow Flower. Charles Christadoro, an expert on flour and grains, sounds the keynote of the new situation brought about by the bleached flour decision when he says in a communication to the editor commenting on the bleached flour decision: "The housewife will now insist on yellow tinted or creamy flour, and will learn to realize that a natural flour very white can in no manner compare with the creamy or yellow flour in so far as glutens and muscle building values are concerned. "As from 55 to 90 per cent. of the large flour mills of the country were using this bleaching process, the decision is far-reaching."—National Food Magazine EDUCATORS HOLD GREAT MEETING DU BOIS HEADS COMMISSION National Training School at Durham, N. C., Host of College Men From Twenty States For Four Days—Public Sentiment Approves Course Taken by Dr. James E. Shepard. When the gavel sounded, closing the conference on education at the National Training school, Durham, N. C., on Friday evening, Nov. 24, after it was in session for four days, it was evident that the educators had accomplished their purpose. Twenty states were represented at the conference. The commission appointed at the conclusion of the meeting consists of Dr. W. E. R. DuBois, New York; W. S. Scarborough, president of the Wilberforce (O.) university; J. W. E. Bowen, Atlanta; W. J. Hale, president of the State Normal college at Nashville; J. R. Rendallia, president of the Lincoln university, in Pennsylvania; J. A. Colton, Henderson, and Dr. A. M. Moore, Durham, N. C. Dr. J. A. Cotton, principal of the Henderson Normal and Industrial institute, who presided at the opening session, in presenting President Shepard, who outlined the plan and scope of the conference, referring to the growth and development of the National Training school, said, "Six years ago when the people awoke one morning and found a new school they predicted a Jonah's gourd growth for the institution, but it has survived all the storms that have come to it." Dr. Shepard announced that in the general scope of the work would be included consideration of duplication in the schools, whether wasteful, unwise and hurtful, and what plans ought to be fostered to correct the eyls; the extent of teacher training and its encouragement and how and where located; what system should be devised to meet the needs of rural teachers; what should be the standard of the university, the college, the normal school, teacher training and secondary schools; how students should be received from one by another; to what extent religious training should be carried on in the various schools; whether there should be a general clearing house for Negro schools and whether the aid given by the various boards has been wise, helpful and economical. Out of the many fine ideas that were promulgated at this meeting it will be possible for the seven members of the commission to put down in definite and understandable form just what is the beth method to adopt toward helping Negro education. Northern philanthropists are gradually learning that all mountaineers of the south are not illiterate backwoodsmen who have never seen a train or heard of an automobile, much less learned any of the finer things of life. And they are also beginning to understand that perhaps the south understands the Negro and is willing to do her part, says one report of the conference. Wealthy people of the north who have wanted to help a struggling race have been imposed on by so many fakers that they are beginning to feel that it is unwise to make contributions to any and every kind of institution in the south. That feeling is gradually being replaced by the systematic campaigns of men of Dr. James E. Shepard's type. The commission, which is the result of the conference, will help to lay before the people philanthropically inclined the real need of the Negro institutions, and the indorsement of an institution by this commission or some other that will follow will be guarantee of the worth of the institutions and the cause. Masona to Meet in Philadelphia, Dec. 11 The annual meeting of the grand lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania will be held in the Masonic temple on Eleventh street, Philadelphia, beginning on Monday, Dec. 11.

Dickens: There are not a few among the disciples of charity who require in their vocation, scarcely less excitement than the votaries of pleasure in theirs; and hence it is that diseased sympathy and compassion are every day expended on out-of-the way objects, when only too many demands upon the legitimate exercise of the same virtues in a healthy state are constantly within the sight and hearing of the most unobservant person alive.

Nashville, Tenn.—According to an- nouncement, this city is to entertain the twelfth session of the Baptist Sun- day school congress. Buch was the re- port of the Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, nectetary of the congress movement, the last week in November. ‘The date of the congress, declared Secretary Boyd, is June 13-48, inclusive. ‘The Sunday schoo! congress has met twlce before in Nashville, and each meeting has been largely attended. Nashville capturing the meeting this tine seems to have been on account of ‘mutual understanding between the officials of thie state convention and the congross movement after thelr recent meeting. 6 Chatrman Clark, who has served as chairinan since the beginning, and Dr. 2, H, Boyd, director of tho congress movement, stated that there would be gathered here Sunday school workers and Sunday school experts from every portion of the United Btates, One of the chief departments of the Sunday school congress 1s tho, ¥.

A. J. Booker, M. D. People learn a great many facts which seem to fill their intellectual storehouse, but never are pat inte practical use. It is good to know things; it is better to apply knowt- edee. Wisdom is applied knowledge. Every Sanday school scholar knows ‘the bald statement, “what ye sow ye shall reap,” but between the intellec- taal fact and 2 working, livable phil- ospby there seems to be 2 wide di- vergence.

The women have “sowing seeds of kind- ness” for their club motto. It is a great slogan, a wonderfal incentive to broad fields of activities, but they for- get it when some dame gets a new hat or moves inta a new house or marries the man she wants instead of “Do unto others as you would have them do to you” is a fime motto to hang on the wall, but we forget it a3 sen ax ge pagpon doce oot fall 0 our first—always they must do the first advancing. And pray who are you that they must appear to do you the courtesy first? Instead you Should set the pace in gentility and cheerfulness. Kindness and nobility of character are attributes which grow and expand with use, in ever widening circles. “Thou shalt not bear false witness™ is wonderful to read or repeat in church and equally as effective at the sewing circle. It was not intended for lip service, but for heart and brain service. Was that choice morsel of gossip you whisperingly put into Mrs. Swillgathers ear a fact or a hearsay; in either case what good did you ex- pect to accomplish by it?

Each day we sutomati- cally advance or retard our progress to perfection; it is up to us solely whether we are going to be big, nobie and god-like or jellyfish No power, outside ourselves, is going to force grace and character upon us. Our head and heart must be in connection with each other. There must be some way of making our intellectual facts square with our daily actions. To say that one is a Christian and not act one is a hollow mockery that becomes patent to the world and we are con- demped, not by God, bat by our own acts and sayings. As I understand the scriptures, it will be a pretty poor Way to get in by telling the Lord how much you love Him, bat just cannot stomach some of his other children. Do not worry ‘about being squaze with the other fel- low; just be square with yourself and you cannot help being square with Him. MARSHALLTOWN, IOWA. Mr. and Mrs. C. P.
