A MESSAGE.
The question is before me today, Why is it the world hates holiness. It is because they are without understanding of the holy scriptures. 11 Timothy, 3d chapter, 15th verse: And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make the wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. You talk about how they crucified hands, pierced his side, and to think they gave him vinegar to drink. He gave up the ghost. In his dying hour he said, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me. All this is true. Then we say nobody lives holy down here, and if we hear of a holiness man or woman, Ah! deliver me from a saint the worse word is too good. To those who hate saints, haven't time to believe their messages, this is to all whom ignore holiness. Act 7-15: Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost. As your fathers did, so do we.
We say Christ was baptized by John. So he was, and in St. John, 10-14, I am the good shepherd and know my sheep, and am known of mine. And when the Jews were accusing Jesus of blasphemy in this same chapter, what did he say in the 36th verse: Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, thou blasphemest because I said I am the son of God. Then if God sanctified a man or woman and sent them into the world with a message, we say because they are sanctified they are a liar, nothing to them.
The scripture says in I John 4:20, If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar, for he that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen.
So it is beloved he that say I hate saints and holiness and don't believe his brother or sister is sanctified and holy, and say I believe Jesus lived holy, was holy, is full of hypocrisy and the truth isn't in him, because if we believe Christ was sanctified holy and God sent him, also will we believe God is just the same today and sanctifies.
In James 5:14-15 says: Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. "Then when a saint follow these, what do we say? They are crazy. God don't do those things nowadays. Nobody holy. And when the patient recovers we say they were going to get well anyway. There are two verses in 1 Peter, 2d chapter, for examples 21-22: For even hereunto were we called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that we should follow his steps. Who did no sin. Neither was quite found in his mouth. Christ pleased God; the world hated him because he was sanctified holy. "Praise His name." One thing sure, we must obey God in order to inherit eternal life and in order to see God. Read Heb. 12:14. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. When condemning holiness we lack understanding. Pro. 4-7: Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom, and with all thy getting get understanding.

"How are you, "Sister Lowe,"
And stood beside her beau,
To await to witness a lie.
Yes, they call me a liar,
But we are always among briers,
And the one who gets stuck
Is the one who gets struck,
Wear a scar for Jesus,
For it is the sweetest.
Be called a liar for Christ,
Jesus paid the price.
If you are called in adversity,
Be sure you have the necessities.
You need the spirit, power and blood,
For though God's way be rugged,
Hard, self-denial it's a sure way,
No devil or thief can gainsay,
They can yell, "You're a liar,
I don't believe it."
But after all it pays
To watch the briers.
Somebody my body, in the grave,
In the grave must lay.
For Jesus is surely coming my way,
A scar I will wear on my eye,
A sad tear within my face,
But my heart will be clear,
My joy will begin,
The race will be won,
The victory begun,
Old Satan will shake his head,
Then shall he know his works are

And I shall be with the redeemed.

He holds your heart,
He makes us as happy as a lark,
He sends his angels to bring
The very echoes of his choir,
And always comes in the darkest hours;
Never from this way depart,
Keep pure, righteousness, holiness in your hearts.
You need not talk about what you can do,
For a devil will say it's no use,
For he'll say the world isn't looking
For no reading, writing or books
About Christ.
But look the old devil in the eye,
And boldly say, "You're the liar."
He'll begin to roar, and get by
On some deceitful lust,
But always be ready to shake the dust.
And let old Satan have the fuss,
For God is able our tongues to hush.
One thing we can always remember,
A Christian's peace needs no mending,
And the devil's confusion has no end-
For when we think it's at rest,
We always hear the devil's best,
He always leaves that for bate,

How Training Camp for Colored men happened to be established
How Training Camp for Colored men happened to be established
The officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, marks a great epoch in the history of the Negro race. It is a recognition that the black race has never before received from any country in modern times. The training and commissioning of approximately one thousand Negro officers to lead thirty thousand Negro troops in the titanic war for democracy marks a new era in the history of the Negro race throughout the world.
To all those who were instrumental in having the camp established all credit and honor is due. They deserve the undying thanks of the entire colored race. To one man is undoubtedly due the credit of having originated the idea of having colored officers lead their own troops in this great war. Before the United States had declared war he foresaw the present situation and started the agitation for the training of colored officers. This pioneer was Dr. Joel E. Spring-arm, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and one of the truest and noblest friends the colored race has in this country. At a great sacrifice of his own time and money he began the campaign that later was to triumph. When it was thought that the men would have to purchase their own uniforms he offered to equip 100 Howard students at his own expense. Due almost to his efforts a list of about 500 qualified volunteers for such a camp was secured. At this time Dr. Spring-arm had very few supporters, for it soon became necessary for him to request a separate camp, since admittance to the white camp was clearly impracticable and many short-sighted men opposed the movement for that reason. Professor George W. Cook of Howard university and Dean William Pickens of Morgan college were among the few who upheld Dr. Spring-arm's early efforts. It was definitely decided to ask for a separate camp, when Secretary of War Baker informed a committee composed of Dr. Spring-arm, Professors Cook, Miller and Gregory of Howard university, Attorney Cobb and others that the government could not admit colored men in the white camps.
It was then that Dr. Springarn was unfortunately summoned to Madison barracks, New York, for service as military ir structor. He was compelled to give up all active efforts in behalf of the camp. Fortunately it was immediately taken up by two groups of workers, and it was they who together continued the fight until it was successful. These group were the Howard university joint committee on teachers and students, which later developed into the central committee of Negro college men, and the committee of 100 citizens of Washington, D. C. The students of Howard university wrote the name of their institution down in history by the demonstration they have given to the world of the young Negro's capacity for organization and united escort. It was they who completed Dr. Springarn's list of 500 men willing to enter the camp up to 1,600. It was they who raised $150 to finance the campaign. It was they who sent representatives to all the leading Negro schools and colleges and brought about the magnificent cooperation of Negro school men throughout the country. Finally it was they who planned and executed
one of the most efficient lobbies seen at the capitol. President Stephen N Newman of the university gave every assistance and encouragement to the campaign and himself was one of its foremost workers. Deans Kelly Miller, George W. Cook, Lewis B. Moore, Charles Syphax, Professors E. L Parks and W. V. Tunnell all gave valiant assistance. The central committee of Negro college men opened regular headquarters at Howard university and labored day and night in the cause. This committee had as its chairman Prof. Montgomery Gregory and as secretary Mr. E. B. Curley. Their chief co-workers were Messrs. C. H. Houston, J. H. Waring, J. Bryce, H. Moore, N. O. Goodloe, J. Heslip, T. S. Walters, O. Brown, C. S. Thompson, Treadwell M. Curtis, L. Kozer, T. B. Dyett, Barnes, W. M. Pollard and others. Capt. Austin, former commandant at Tuskegee, brought to Washington the list of names prepared by Dr. Springarn and assisted in directing the forces at work.
Working parallel as in unison with the Howard forces was Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron's committee of one hundred, to which a large share of the credit for the successful termination of the fight is due. Side by side with Chairman Waldron was Dr. Geo. W. Cabaniss, whose untiring zeal and self-sacrificing efforts were ever at the fore front of the battle. Wherever and whenever the camp is mentioned Dr. Cabaniss' name will always be sounded in a grateful and appreciative remembrance. That his heart was wholly in the cause has been wonderfully demonstrated by his presence voluntarily in the camp at the sacrifice of his lucrative medical practice, that he might do all in his power to make the camp successful in every way. Col. Ballou has said that his services are invaluable, as that the camp could not permit him to leave until the course of training is over. He is indeed the pater familias of Fort Des Moines.
These combined forces besieged congress, the war college and the war department from sunrise until sundown. Often the prospects seemed discouraging, but these men toiled on. Two final conferences practically settled the matter and insured the camp. One was with the personal secretary of the secretary of the secretary of war and its membership consisted of representatives from the two committees. A few moments later a committee consisting of Dr. Milton Waldron, Dr. Geo. W. Cabaniss, Dr. C. H. Marshall, Professor Montgomery Gregory and others was granted an interview at the white house. No more was needed. The following day the war department announced officially the establishment of a training camp for colored officers at Fort Des Moines, Iowa.
Mention should also be made of a committee of ladies of Washington, headed by Mrs. Arthur M. Curtis and Mrs. George W. Cook, which stormed the capitol and war department with telling results. It should also be stated that many other men and women did their part in the campaign, but only the organized movements can be taken into consideration. Let it be understood that this stupendous achievement was accomplished by organized effort—yes, by the new spirit of an awakened race.

A WORD FROM THE SUPREME
LODGE SESSION.
By Sir H. Gould, grand chancellor of the Iowa, jurisdiction.
When you come to consider the fact that the majority of all the leading conventions of both clubs and lodges have been called off on account of war times and the high cost of living, yet the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias, the biggest convention of Negroes that ever came together at one time, met in its 19th biennial session in St. Louis, Mo., August 19 to 25, inclusive. We arrived in St. Louis on Sunday morning, August 19th, on time that we might be present at the beginning, and we stayed until the end, which was Saturday evening, August 25th, at 7:30 p. m. And it was an inspiration which I can never forget. We were there on strictly official business and we wish to inform all who have been watching for the outcome of the trouble which has been hanging between the Iowa jurisdiction and North Star lodge, No. 3, K. of P., which was most harmoniously settled between us and the supreme lodge, and North Star was ordered reinstated and all its property and other valuables returned back to them.
GRAND MASTER IS GIVEN HONORS.
Presented With a Pin.
Union lodge, No. 1. A. F. & A. M., Keokuk, at its regular session planned a surprise for W. W. Cross, recently elected grand master of the colored Masonic lodges of the state. The event was one which will be remembered by all of the Masons who were present, and proved a most enjoyable occasion for the lodge men and their honor guest.
Alonzo Draine spoke on the topic, "The Man of the Hour." He gave a short sketch of the achievements of the past grand masters, and spoke of the honor which has come to Mr. Gross, and outlined in a general way the duties of the grand master and of the Masonic lodges under his jurisdiction.
Austin Bland, the oldest colored Mason in the state, and the oldest living past grand master, greeted the new grand master. He spoke of the honor which was Keokuk's in having the oldest and the youngest grand master.
F. S. Johnson then presented to Mr. Gross a handsome grand masters pin. Following the presentation and talks the members enjoyed a smoker, and lunch was served.
