BISHOP VERNON DELIVERS MASTERFUL ADDRESS TO DES MOINES PEOPLE AMERICAN LEGION HOLDS SESSION AT CEDAR RAPIDS BOOST, PAY And Read The Bystander XXVI No. 11 BISHOP VER AMERICA Ex-Service Men Second Annual Conve'n NEGRO DELEGATES TAKE ACTIVE PART IN ALL PROCEDINGS AND SECURE THE ELECTION OF ONE OF ITS MEMBERS AS DELEGATES TO NATIONAL CONVENION. (By James B. Morris.) Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Sept. 4.—The second annual convention of the Iowa department of the American Legion was held in the auditorium at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Sept. 2 and 3. From the time the Third and Fourth Legion gave the order "fall out," until he gave the order "fall out," there was pep in the meeting. Colored Delegates in Attendance. The First Days. The body was called together Thursday morning at 10 o'clock by Col. Matt Tinley, who spoke at length on the object and aim of the Legion and the course the members must pursue in order to make the organization what it ought to be. In the absence of the mayor, Hon. James rewin welcomed the visitor to the city. The afternoon session was spent listening to reports of the various officers and permanent committees all of which were generously applauded. Big Entertainment. At 4 o'clock the delegates were assembled in automobiles collected by the Chamber of Commerce and taken on a sight seeing tour throughout the city. During the evening the delegates and their friends attended a high class entertainment at the auditorium consisting of boxing and band music. The audience sang America, Marseilias and popular songs of the war. National Commander Speakes. Franklin D'Olier, national commander spoke to the delegates on Friday morning, "It was just a little over eighteen months ago that the American Legion was organized," began D'Olier. Now you have 97,000 posts and thousands upon thousands of members. Such a thing has never before been accomplished in the history of this country. Service Man Will Rule It. "You may not realize that the ex-service man is soon going to run this country, but he is, because he is a picked man. Boiled down, the constitution of our order is simply this: Service to our country. "In the American Legion there is no east, no west, no north, no south, Jew or gregorian, Protestant or Catholic, citizen or labor. The American Legion is the nearest thing on earth to public opinion. Public opinion stands for progress. But we who were in the service know that our strength against the enemy was in direct proportion to the spirit of the 100,000,000 people behind us. "We have served our country and we have yet to serve our comrades. We stuck together to serve the service and I accompanied that we are going to hang together in this order so that we may continue to serve our country and our comrades." Made a Stirring Address. Congressman Burton Sweet, father of the law known as the Sweet bill which gave increased compensation to wounded soldiers and sailors. "I believe that America is for Americans and when I say Americans I mean both native born and naturalized persons who are in sympathy with what this great republic stands for (amplause)." I was over there at the time and I saw and I know what war is, and in my heart there was found at that time a resolve that the maimed and their families should be taken care of. A nation that will not protect those who protected it is a disgrace to the world" (applause). His Closing Advice. Mr. Sweet closed with the following advice to the Legionaires: "Our constitution is not a contract between all the people. If things do not go right in this country we ourselves are to blame, for we are a part of the government. So I say to you, gentlemen, be alive to what is going on in congress. The Darrow bill and the bonus bill have passed the house and are up to the senate. And if you believe in them you should let your congressman know so as to be a service to yourselves and to your country." Other speakers included Dan C. Newquist, field representative of the B. W. P. L.; Dr. A. Perry, Red Cross representative. The Election. Hanford MacNieler of Mason City was unanimously elected department commander. Other officers elected were Dave Murphy, Dubuque, vice commander; John Barton, Fort Dodge, solicitant; W. McPhail, town finance officer; Raymond Smith, Council Bluffs, historian; Dr. J. A. Cole, Oelwain, sergeant-at-arms; Rev. Father Patrick McDermott, Woodbine, chaplain. The election of delegates to the national convention was particularly interesting from the standpoint of Negro delegates in that the boys had gone to Cedar Rapids for the avowed purity of the boys of Argonne post, the seventh district cause agreed to go before the convention to fight for J. Q. Tinley as its first choice for delegate at large. Without a doubt the promise was kept. Jessie McGuire nominated Lindsey and James B. Morris in seconding the nomination told the convention that the Legion of Iowa by sending a Negro delegate to the convention would put bigger demands on exerted military and demonstrate to the country that it stood for absolute justice without regard to race or color. Before the final vote was cast seven out of the eleven districts were pledged to vote for Lindsey and as Father McDermott expressed it: "Boys, your cause is just we are with you." Five delegates were to be elected; ten were nominated; Lindsey received notes standing for the five. In first test of absolute fairness the Iowa department has taken the correct and only stand. The election of delegates closed the convention and each delegate left the city with a warm spot in his heart for Cedar Rapids and the local post there. Crispus Attucks post among the colored boys in that town has been dormant but will evidentally take life from this big session and do something. Reception for Colored Post. Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Gresham gave a reception Friday evening at their home, 397 Fifteenth avenue west, in honor of the delegates from Lincoln post No. 126, Des Moines, who attended the American Legion, and Mrs. Gresham were assisted by Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Nelson, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Lovell and Mrs. Ada Green. Lincoln post wish to especially commend Commander Volney Ditz, Dr. Fike, Mr. Casper Scholm, Dr. Fortune and Chapelain Claimain McDermott of Woodbine and the districts as a whole for the wholehearted support which was given their delegates at the convention. Complete Re-organization Dept. Bureaurs Pomised by G.O.P. Colored Employees to Find Conditions Improved in Their Official Work. Washington, Sept. 4.—One of the shortest planks in the Republican platform is one of the most significant refers to the need for the federal agencies and bureaucies. Aside from the pledge being marked with the sound business sense that has characterized the Republican idea of administration of public economics, it will reach one of the sources of racism in the present administration has visited colored employees, the evil of segregation. Reorganization with a view to consolidation, the elimination of "duplication, deleays and overlapping of work," means that this humiliation will be forever dispelled. Of course, the Democrats have absolutely no conception of economy. Their party has never done anything in a construction industry. It is essentially a俯卧的俯卧 aid as it such depends on its brief authority to decompose what others have accumulated. Segregation, the detestable practice born of prejudice, that makes a colored clerk or other employee isolated from others engaged in the same work; the provision of separate toilets and other quarters for a man or woman because he happens to be colored, is an extravagance in itself. The Democrats wasted the public money to up to their tenets that one governmental employee should not be treated with the same consideration as others of a different Segregation is not only a crime against a faithful race but a crime against economy, and the people of this country treated to a saturnalia of waste, are insisting that their money be no longer thrown away, but for the simple purpose of helping the unwhole race, instead of a crowd of southern men who desire to impress upon country the mannerisms and methods of their section. Lest You Forget, Let us remind you that Chamberlain's Tabletines not only cause a gentle movement of the bowels but also the appetite and strengthen the digest- Men Fifty years Old THOSE WHO HAVE MOVED NORTH FROM THE SOUTH WILL HAVE THEIR VOTES COUNTED FOR THE FIRST TIME, MAY VITALLY AFFECT SOME DOUBTFUL STATES IN REPUBLICAN FAVOR. Chicago, Ill, Sept. 2—Carefully digested figures indicate that there will be 300,000 first voters among the colored people who have migrated from the south to northern centers, attracted by better wages, enlarged school facilities and the freedom of thought and action denied them by the solidly Democratic south. It has been the rule in political campaigns to conduct a department for first voters, but this applied always to citizens who had arrived in the United States in a year the remarkable precedent is presented wherein tens of thousands of voters, granted the right by the constitution of the United States, but robbed of the greatest privilege of citizenship by the supporters of Candidate Cox in the southland, many of whom are 35 years of age and even 50, are casting a vote for the first time in their lives. It is needless to say that these men and women have felt the ban that the Democrats have placed upon them, will vote the Republican ticket. There have been cases where colored people in the north, far removed from the miserable race hatred of the south, and listening to the siren song of the northern Democrat, that there is a difference between their party in the north and that in the south, have so forgotten themselves to vote the state they are to say that those people recently coming from the south will never be caught in that mesh. The system of voting, which has grown upon the northern Negro by custom is not so familiar to the people who have recently come to communities on this side of the Mason and Dixon line, and the work of instructing the old citizens, who have never been educated, could be the labor of love among those of the race in the north, who have always enjoyed the great privilege. Special precinct schools will be established by the state committee, having jurisdiction over labor centers where this new vote is located. It is held by the managers of the Republican party that the responsibility of restoring the ballot to these colored people is largely theirs, inasmuch as the principle upon which the vote was granted to them fifty years ago is one of the foundation stones of Republicanism. Every colored man who has resided in the north or born in the north, shares this responsibility with the Republican party, and it should be his duty to instruct every colored man who has come from the south during the last four years how to register and how to vote. First, it should be essential to know whether he has lived for sufficient time in the state and country. Take him to the Republican authorities in any city and they will help. First of all the Republican party wants these men and women who have been denied the right to exercise it, and second, naturally where the full qualification exist, it wants them to cast their vote for Harding and Coolidge. Struggling for years under ban of Democratic oppression, the industrial necessities that opened a Canaan of equal opportunity for the exodus of southern freedom is a great boon to them, and it behooves their more fortunate brothers in the north to assist them in every way to the realization of the sacred promises of the constitution. Memphis Negro Bank Reaches Million Mark Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 2.—The first colored bank in the United States to report resources over $1,000,000 is the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust company of this city. On June 30, the state commission was notified that the total resources of the Solvent Savings Bank are $0,108,633.25. In a statement of the Memphis bank shows deposits of $941,722.34, and a total capital and surplus of $76,911.18. It had no overdrafts and no bills payable. The Solvent has loans and discounts of $405,689.71 and cash on hand and in accounts amounting to $417,395.50. Of the deposits $480,897.18, represented savings accounts and $410,778.70 time certificates—five thousand people do business with the bank, according to a statement made by Mr. Bert M. Rhoddy, the cashier. Other Banks Nearing Mark. The Brown Savings Bank of Nor- folk, and the Wage Earners Bank of Georgia have resources over $9000 each month over 600,000 mark by the end of the rest. The Mechanics Bank and St. Lukes of Richmond, the Mutual Savings Bank of Norfolk have passed the one-half million mark in resources. Twenty-five colored private banks in the country exceed $250,000 in resources. Only one colored private bank in the country is worth in the neighborhood of a million dollars and that is Brown and Stevenes in Philadelphia. Greater Iowa Week Durning October Greater Iowa Week, inaugurated in 1916, will be continued under the auspices and guidance of the Iowa Chamber of Commerce. The dates for the observance of this event have been set for October 3 to 9. During that period the thought of all Iowa will be disbanded after achievements and her opportunities. Ministers throughout the state will be requested to co-operate by devoting the service of Sunday, October 3d, to a message on militant citizenship, a discussion of the state, its people and its civic ideas. Friday, October 8th, will be Iowa Day in a of the schools, with special prizes awarded to every younger generation of the state a realization of their responsibilities as future citizens of a great commonwealth. As a result of co-operation between manufacturer, jobber and retailer, local merchants will make window displays of Iowa made goods during this week. Articles manufactured in Iowa will be published in Iowa Days." The newspapers of the state will carry special advertising calling attention to these displays and to Iowa's progress in industry. Many cities will offer prizes for essays by school children relative to the special displays made. Iowa was the first state to conduct a wave observance of this character. Plans which have already been completed indicate that the observance of Greater Iowa Week, 1920, will be a tremendous success. Des Moines Girl Makes Good in Chautauqua Miss Ethel Bowmer is Well Qualified in the Work She Pursues. 8 August 31.—Believing that it may be of interest to you, and the many readers of The Bystander, to learn of the excellent work, and rare information, I one this opportunity to acquaint you with Miss Ethel Bowmer's work with the Midland Chautauqua circuit this past summer. Miss Bowmer has just finished a ninety day tour, with two appearances daily, throughout the central states, as pianist and vocalist of Chicago, the Mission singers are one of the oldest and most widely known company of jubilee singers in the United States, having made nearly five thousand appearances before lyceum and chautauqua audiences and havins a most enviable reputation throughout the United States and around the world. Miss Bowmer was called upon to join the company with but a few hours' notice, the first week in June, without an opportunity to acquaint herself with the special high class form of programs t.hat chautauqua audiences demand. She threw herself into the work with incomparable zeal that meant success from very beginning. Her special preparation for high class entertainment at Drake university bespokes for the university, a well trained faculty of successful teachers. That great institution, the chautauqua founded at Chautauqua, New York, from which city it gets its name, has drawn many of its star performers, as lecturers from the Alma Mater of this famous and renown Drake university. Miss Bowmer's immediate success as a chautauqua performer, should be a source of pride to her many friends and acquaintances. The Mason jubilee singers are happy to have had the services of one who brings so much musical promotion to the community at Des Moines she's should proud of her. America's most cultured audiences have revealed in the beauties of her well trained voice and have sat with much complacency under the spell of her dignified bearing. Miss Bowmer is dividing a short visit with a few day's rest while she hunts, Mouine, touches at Mr Pleasan's. She will return to Des Moines Saturday or Sunday to prepare for a four week tour through Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas with another Mason company, known as the Virginians. The Mason Virginian company are starting a thirty week tour of lyeum work, Sept. 7, at Des Moines. Have the services of Miss Bowmer. Owing to her desire to return to Des Moines, where she expects to finish her studies at Drake university, both Former Register of Treasury Speaks Stops in Des Moines in a Tour of the Country Prior to His Departure for South Africa in November. Bishop W. T. Vernon, formerly register of the U. S. treasury and more recently master of the very chapel Memphis, Tenn., accompanied by Mrs. Vernon, arrived in Des Moines Sunday evening from their home at Quindara, Kan. While in the city they attended the Virginia and Missouri picnics on Monday and the guests of Rev. and Mrs. S. and L. Birt. On Monday at 8 o'clock p. m. a large audience filled the auditorium of St. Paul A. M. E. church and listened to a masterful address by the bishop. He traced the historical events of leaders and movements down to the landing of the Jamestown as a preface to his remarks on the history of the Negro race and the things that must be accomplished to quell the present day unrest. His Work in the South Bishop Vernon said that it takes a great deal of courage to live and succeed in the south where Jim Crow laws, Klu Klux Klan and disfranchisement reign. A man may succeed ever so well in procuring dollars and cents but he could have the power of mind that comes as result of living a real American citizen, that degree of success availed little. He said the Negro was hated more for his success than for his wrong done or crimes committed. During his stay in the south he was located in the heart of poison south of Chicago and he could speak against burning and lynching which occurred in his own community; and although threatened with anonymous letters he never shirked from the duty, say what was right, or render service to wherever possible. Tells of Address to Nashville Business Men During the war, Bishop Vernon said that he was invited by the business men of Nashville, Tenn., to deliver an address on how to keep the Negro in the south. He first asked these men: "Do you want me to tell you what you want me to tell you?" He wanted to hear the truth and he proceeded to state his remedies; Better schools, abolition of disfranchisement, Jim Crowism, burning and lynching Negroes; give him a man's chance under the law as guaranteed by the constitution of the United States. The white man is the only person who can keep the Negro in the south and he can do it only by doing justice at all times. Remedy for Bettering the South. The bishop said said that in order to better conditions throughout the south, a president and a congress must be ejected this fall-with the courage to pass federal laws against lynching, reduce southern representation in congress, disfranchisement and Jim Crowism, in his closing remarks the bishop said the Negroes who had come north in the last few years were on trial and as such had a wonderful opportunity to prove that the slainerous propaganda that has eminated from the south was untrue. He particularly advised them to not "over do" the thing but simply demand and be satisfied with the privileges granted all other men and no more. Bishop and Mrs. Vernon sail for South Africa on November 1. He said he would locate his headquarters in Cape Town but would be found traversing the interior where he would with the aid of guides and interpreters carry the gospel of the Maker to those who had been slaves. The distinguished guests left the city Wednesday for Chicago where the bishop will make an address at Quinn chapel. Send Gen. Malvern Hill Barnumn Post Card Washington, D. C., Sept. 3.—The war department has announced that Gen. Malvern-Hill Barnum, who so successfully commanded the 183d brigade of the Ninety-Second division has been redesigned as commander of the pliant brigade of Fort Leavenworth. Former Assistant Secretary of War, Emmett J. Scott, has suggested that the ex-service men, who served under General Barnum in France and who knew that he was the most beloved white general in the American expeditionary forces, send the general a post there and congratulate him on his assignment. at the piano and in voice, the management has elected to hold open for her a place on his chautauqua tour on the Pacific coast next summer season of 182.

Just as the year is closing and 1920 passes into history the National Baptist Publishing Board has made an improvement and advance in Sunday school literature publications, notwithstanding the extreme high price of paper, the scarcity of paper and other print material, the board under the management of Dr. R. H. Boyd, has been able to issue its Sunday school periodicals for October, November and December, are the last three months in the year for Sunday school supplies in 1920. A copy has just reached us showing they are complete and ready, for the various Sunday schools, Dr. Boyd, the secretary of the plant, in sending this to us stated that it was merely for our information and that we might have a completed copy of the new publication in our hands at least one month before they are to be published. We would like to right review this for the benefit of our readers. The advanced quarterly has its topics and the general topic. It has a double cover with the lessons arranged systematically for the school. WESTERN RAMBLER. Dear Editor Bystander: No doubt many of your readers have asked what has become of the "Rambler." The Rambler thinks there is a time to do all things. "It is indeed, a pleasure to meet you," reads your journal just when I am doing. Since our convention in Kansas City, Kansas I have been silent though still rambling. I visited Buxton on the first Sunday in this month. The Mt. Zion Baptist church which is without a pastor. Yet the deacons are on the alert that someone fill the pulpit each Sunday. Rock their font, pastor, had an engagement on this date which brought us together on the same day, yet I was given my usual consideration as a western representative. From this point I took a swing eastward to ramble through the state of Illinois. Here I met with more disappointment than I had experienced in three years, some of them could not have been avoided. The first stop was at Monmouth, Ill. There I had met morning and evening services that I had no pastor. The rain just before evening services prevented the people from coming as is their custom. I did not go to Bloomington as I had received a letter that I could not be entertained. Tuesday the 10th I found myself en route to Champaign. Rev. R. A. Hayden has recently been called to take charge of the flock at this place. I was met with a reception, though Mrs Hawkins and billed there for three hours. I spent the night with Rev. Hayden and his amiable wife, who is a graduate of the Western college, the institution which the western convention is helping to maintain. Wednesday morning I found myself obeying the orders of the conductor, giving command, "All aboard! This train, after about five hours, landed me at an airport. This pastor knew well full, too. He was useless to make announcement for my visit during the chauquiqua week. He wrote me, but did not receive his communication. Another swing and a long ramble, I was landed in the city of Centralia. I met Rev. W. H. Carter, the pastor. He had not received my letter hence no appointment. Here I had planned to spend Thursday and Friday morning as no arrangement had been made in the next train out and at 11:30 that evening I was in Duquoin. Here I to remain until Sunday before I could get an opening. Sunday morning, Aug. 15, I spoke at Mt. Zion Baptist church. Afternoon I met a fair representative at St. Paul Baptist church. Having finished my mission here, Monday morning I started for Carbondale. Arriving there I was escorted by Rev. G. W. Dorsey the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mack, where I had been assigned. Monday evening I addressed the members and citizens of Hopewell Baptist church. The passage of all the churches were present with one exception, Rev. Wimbo body being out of the city. I had to other engagement until Wednesday evening hence I remained in Carbondale until Wednesday morning. Will continue my rambling next week. Best Treatment for a Burn. If for no other reason, Chamberlain's Salve should be kept in every household on account of its great value in the treatment of burns. It allays the pain almost instantly, and unless the injury is a severe one, heals the parts without leaving a scar. This salve is also unequaled for chapped hands, sore nipples and diseases of the skin. Price, 25 cents. Published every Friday by the Bystander Publishing Company. Des Moines, Iowa.

JONES Publisher and Editor JAMES B. MORRIS Managing Editor ROBERT D. DURR Circulation and Advertising CHAS. M. SHED Secretary and Treasurer A committee of the American Federation of Labor headed by President Samuel Gompers appointed to compare the records of the two leading candidates reports that the findings were in favor of Governor Cox. This was expected, however, in view of the already pledged assistance which Mr. Gompers had proffered the democrats. But on the other hand Mr. Cox has others, to deal with in his party and this we can no better be shown than by quoting from a speech of Senator Kenyon when during the closing hours of the last congress. "Gov. Cox and other leadin democrats are making very loud boasts over what they have done for labor. It may not be amiss to call attention to the fact that when the minimum wage bill, known as the Johnson-Nolan bill, was before the Senate in the closing days of the session it was defeated by a Democratic filibuster led by Senator Underwood, leader of the minority, and ably assisted by other Democratic senators, some of whom are now prominent in the management of the Democratic campaign. The bill affected 66,000 underpaid government employees. It would also vitalize party platforms in favor of a living wage for men and women who toil. It was defeated largely because it applied to colored employees as well as white. I charged upon the floor of the senate, as I charge now, that the Democrat in the Senate, led by Senator Underwood, are responsible for its defeat." The leaders of the Republican party in Iowa might well examine the proceedings of the American Legion convention at Cedar Rapids last week and contrast the manner in which the ex-service men, white and black stuck together, and how the white and black delegates in the political conventions have hung apart. I SAW IT IN THE BYSTANDER. Dr. W. W. Pebbles of Omaha, Neb., an overseas veteran was elected an alternate delegate to the national convention at Cleveland of the state convention of the American Legion which met at Hastings, Neb., last week. Dr. Pebbles is well known in Des Moines, having attended the R. O. T. C. at Fort Des Moines in 1917. Attorney Robert N. Owens of St. Louis, Mo., who served overseas as sergeant in the 804 Pioneer infantry regiment and who is at present post commander of Tom Powell post No. 77 American Legion of his home town, has been nominated by the farmer-labor party as its candidate for congress from the twelfth congressional district. New York, Sept. 3. —West street at the foot of Twelfth street was a lively bottleground for more than an hour yesterday, when white and Negro long-shoremen to the number of 1,000 engaged in a fight to settle the question of which color of labor should prevail along that especial waterfront. The fight had its genesis in the importation from the south by the Southern Pacific Steamship company of gangs of Negro strikebreakers during the recent longshore strike. The Negroes when the strike cooled down were kept at work by the company, and 500 of them were on Pier 50, hoisting cargo into the hull of the steamship El Capitan yesterday, when an equal number of white laborers reported there for work. The company made a cat's paw of these colored men. Consequently the scab strikebreaking is dangerous business and means the men engaged are well protected the effort should never be commenced. FUNERAL SERVIES OF REV. S. B. MOORE Funeral services for the late Rev. S. B. Moore, pastor of our church at Davenport, Iowa, was held from Bethel A. M. E., church last Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. They were in keeping with his splendid life whose widened end came while at prayer at the close of the daily services on Wednesday evening, Aug. 23. He was an honored member of the Chicago annual conference serving under Bishops Arnett, Grant, Shaffer, Lee and Coppin. He was especially beloved as a pastor. He was an eloquent preacher, and had served as presiding elder of the Des Moines district for five years. The body was shipped to his home at Galesburg, Ill., where services were held and the last rites administered. Presiding Elder L. H.

(Speech to the Dyslexian) With malice toward no one, but out of justice to the Crispus Attucks post No. 451 of the American Legion, Cedar Rapids, this letter is written. During the past week the state convention of the American legion was held in our city. In the course of its sessions another memorable step was made in the progress of our race, through the election as delegate to the national convention of one of the six representatives from Lincoln post No. 126 of Des Moines. Due to the fact that many of the members of Crispus Attucks post No. 451 have left the city the post has been practically inactive for several months. But there was enough loyalty and pride left in what few members we still have, to attempt to show in a humble way their appreciation and respect for the delegates to and city. A small affair was planned, as there were only a few members of the local post to support it. A member of the post was delegated to call and extend an invitation to the visiting guests, but their hostess would not allow him to speak to them. The hostess with a perfect knowledge of the affair being planned by the post, immediately set out to plan a reception for the delegates, to take place the same time. With a feeling that their first duty was to their hostess, the delegates did not attend the local post affair as the convention did not close in time to allow the delegates to give us the time allotted. The Crispus Attucks post entertains no hard feeling toward any one, but it takes this means to express itself, lest it be said that it is lacking in the proper spirit and feeling of appreciation to THE BYSTANDER ward those who are their brothers, in the same cause, the same trials and the same goal. Signed, Crispus Attucks Post No. 451, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. MERIDIAN MISS BRIEF These last days in August have been awful hot.

Moore who presided over this, the Des Moines district for five years, and in that time he never let slip one opportunity to be with our school. We should cherish the memory of such men Let's not be too quick to forget men and women who have given their lives for Christ, and humanity. Sunday, Sept. 12 is quarterly meeting day which marks the closing of this conference year. We are thankful that we can report a successful conference year. But there is room for improvement. Larger classes of young people is our chief desire at this time. The most encouraging incident that has come to our notice in the past two weeks, was the apparent willingness and readiness of the girls of Sister Somerville's class to form themselves into a Sunday school choir. When requested to do so not merely was this evidenced by their verbal consent, but was further shown by their presence at the appointed time for rehearsal. The Sabbath school will not perish from the earth while we produce girls of this type. Remember the rally and bring in your cards for they are not god after Sept. 12. We want modern equipment, modern methods, and last but not least, modern attendance. Only for the fact that the writer has been here for more than fifteen years and knows the school, we would not believe the fact that the school has not increased its membership two per cent in eleven years. Our church for the same period has increased its membership three hundred per cent.

Y. that proves the worth of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy. "Two years ago last summer" she says "our little boy had dysentery. At that time we were living in the country eight miles from a doctor. Our son was taken ill suddenly and was about the sickest child I ever saw. He was in terrible pain all the time and passed from one convulsion into another. I sent my husband for the doctor and after he was gone thought of a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy in the cupboard. I gave him some of it and he began to improve at once. By the time the doctor arrived he was out of danger." Particular People (Vanishing) Soothing Refreshing greaseless leav es a Clear Light Skin Price 60c AGENTS Mrs. E. F. Butler, 721 C.
