Home And Its Pleasures. Home is the first and most important school of character It is there that every human being receives their best moral training or their worst. For it is there that they inbibe those principles of conduct which endures through manhood or womanhood and cease only with life. It is a common saying that manners makes man and there is a second that mind makes man truer than either is a third that that home makes man or woman. For the home training includes not only manners and mind but character. It is mainly in the home that the heart is opened and the habits are formed, the intellect is awakened and the character molded for good or evil. The poorest dwelling presided over by a thrifty cheerful and cleanly woman is to man a refuge from the storms of life, a sweet MOTTO : " HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY. " resting place after labor, a consolation in misfortune, a pride in prosperity and a joy at all times. The good home is thus the best of school not only in youth but in age. The young and the old best learn cheerfulness patience self and the spirit of service and duty A MINISTER ORDAINED at Antioch Baptist Church, Metropolis, Sunday Night. A council was called by the Antioch Baptist church of Metropolis, last Saturday Feb. 21st for the purpose of examining Bro. Thos. Morris, as to his qualification to be set apart to the work of the gospel ministry. Elders G. W. Dorsey, representing the Hopewell Baptist church, Carbondals; R. Earl, representing the Baptist church, of Marion; J. B. McCrary, repeating the Providence Baptist church, Belgrade; Bros. Wm. P. Crouse, and Wm. Porter, deacons of the Antioch Baptist church, Metropolis, composed the council. After the temporary organization, Elder R. Earl, was elected moderator, Bro. W. P. Crouse, was elected secretary, and Elder G. W. Dorsey, was elected catechiser. All of the preliminary work out of the way the council proceeded to the examination and after testing the candidate as to his knowledge of a certain line of studies and finding him qualified to enter into the work of the ministry. The council recommend to the church their approval which was accepted by the church and the time for ordination set for Sunday night. The ordination sermon was delivered by Dr. Dorsey, which was pointed and full of instruction and food for the candidate, church and congregation, as it was a sermon brim full of information which is characteristic of the man. Text: II. Tim. 4:2 v. The ordination prayer was offered by Elder Earl, with the laying on of hands. The charge to the church, to the candidate and presentation of the Bible was given by Elder McCrary and then the hand of fellowship followed after declaring the candidate being a regular ordained Elder, ready for the pastorate of the Little Flock Baptist church of E'town, who had asked for his ordination. The council, also the church of which Elder Thos. Morris, is a member can recommend him as a fit and worthy christian gentleman, not so much on the account of his literary attainments but, for his open christian life and the knowledge of the Bible. Good services were held all day notwithstanding the rain which came down almost incessantly at night, which kept many away but in spite of this a good size audience witnessed the work. Elder J. B. McCrary, preached at 11:00 a.m., text, I. Cor. 11:28 and at conclusion he received several compliments, hand shakes from the members and eulogies from the ministers, for the logical as well as for the masterly delivery of the sermon. Elder R. Ear, delivered a strong gospel and spiritual sermon at 3:00 p. m., which caused many amens, and hearty hand shakes. He is no novice by any means when the subject "preach" is assigned him. Text, Matt. 28:18,19 Revs Benj. Kelly offered prayer at the morning service and Rev. Wm. Barnett at the night service. The ministers were invited to return. The Missionary Speaks. Cairo, Ill., Feb. 18, 1914 Brother Editor of the Metropolis Gazette: my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. Romans x:1-2. As missionary on the district work of our associaition, I find that there is a great deal of unpleasantness in the churches of calling and settling pastors to take charge, of which I look upon it, to be a very important question. I would like to state here for the good of the churches. First a church without a pastor, and is desirous of securing one, has need of much prayer. A pastor can do so much to upbuild a church or disrupt its membership that great care should be exercised, and reliance upon mere human judgment and foresight should be discarded. The church should approach the Subject in an attitude of prayer, believing in the power of the Holy Ghost to guide right. 2nd A pulpit committee should be appointed to have charge of filling the pulpit during the interval between pastors, they should be men above repreach. 3rd This committee should put itself in touch with local ministers, in whom it has confidence and find out the ministers of good repute that might be secured by the church. Valuable aid is often given by neighboring pastors. 4th If suitable information is not obtainable from local sources, a correspondence might be commenced with men abroad that are able to give the desired information. 5th When satisfied as to the record and ability of a minister, a letter should be addressed to him expressing the desire of the church to hear him preach and know him better, with a view to further consideration. 6 If his exposition of the word of God is found to be edifying, and his record in previous fields is what is desirable, it is then proper to extend a call, fixing the salary in the letter of call, and designating the time for an answer, which time should be as ample as the interests of the church will permit. 7 Care should be taken to not lay too much stress upon the sermon or sermons preached by the prospective candidate. His record is a far more vital question. 8 The church should not sit supinely down and wait for the pastor to come invariably irresponsible adventurers, swarm around such a church when a church seeks a pastor intelligently it is more than likely to get the best possible material. When it yields itself up to be sought by the worthy and unworthy alike, the former is likely to be too modest to enter into such an undignified scramble, and the field is left to the unworthy. 9 During the period of being pastonless care should be taken to prevent the coming of men who are self-seeking and not mindful of the welfare of the church. A regular supply, if possible, would be best for the church. 10 While it is undoubted right of the majority to rule, yet in the matter of calling a pastor, the wishes of a respectable minority should be respected. The call should, if possible be unanimous unless three fourths of the members favor the party called, it is very doubtful as to whether he should accept good seldom results from a pastorate opposed from the beginning by a large minority of the members. The Missionary Baptist church is a Orthodox but not in practice, there is no scripture authority for temporary pastor. I further call your attention to article 13 of the constitution of the ministers and deacon's union. I sincerely pray that our ministers and churches will observed these few lines. If the principle is right put them in practice, for the good of the Master's cause. I was with the First Missionary Baptist church Metropolis, Ill., the 3rd Sunday on a regular visit but did not get to, preach but acted as a alternate for Rev. Bunch of Paris Tenn., They have a very fine church there and the members seemed to have a mind to work. They are without a pastor, but they need a good pastor in that field of work. I am yours in the work of the Master's Cause. J. H. Knowles, Missionary. JOPPA. Mrs. Laura Bradley, entertained the Independent Club Monday afternoon and there were 14 members present. After all of the business was over we were served to a delicious three course menu. The club is growing in interest and finance. Our worthy pastor Rev. D. Parrish, was with us Sunday and preached two strong sermons which was very beneficial to all. He was in S. S. in the afternoon and we had an old time covenant meeting. Mr. W.

Dear Editor, it has been quite a while since I have spoken to you through the columns of your valuable paper, but, have not slept so sound as not to remember that it takes one dollar per year to keep it going, which please find enclosed herewith. Thanks sister Wilkerson, and we wish more of our readers were just as considerate.—Editor. Please allow me to say that we closed very successful revival here of ten nights duration with 8 conversions. We had with us Rev. Dr. G. W. Dorsey, who stood in in the gateway breaking the bread of life and we realized that our Heavenly Father had not forsaken the Corrinthian Baptist church We were at peace and alive but we wanted more laborers in the vineyard, and by the instruction of our worthy pastor Dr. W. P. Washington, we selected Rev. D se , of C rbondale who proved more than a match for the sinners. The church is greatly revived and our meeting was a success spiritually and financially. We feel like going and doing a great work this year. We have our worthy pastor with us for all of his time to instruct us and lead us. The B. Y. P. U , S. S. and the whole church are alive. God bless Ds. Dorsey, and may he live long to preach the gospel. The Carnation Art Club The program given Monday night by the Sunday School scholars at the Free Will Baptist church was a grand success. In spite of the inclement weather a goodly number was present to witness that interesting program. Last Monday afternoon in spite of the snow fastly falling the home of Mrs. Minnie Woods was well crowded by the members of the Carnation Art Club and visitors. Several new members were received and duly noted. Five visitors were present in the persons of Rev J. B. McCrary, Messrs N. W. Long, George McCrary, Jr., Roy Buchanan and Mrs. Victoria Mayes, of the A. M. E. church, these five persons are not the best in oratory but gave us to know that they are trying to be. Twenty five friends were present Mr. V. E. Shannon came in at the 11th hour at eating time but did not forget to leave his contribution. Mrs. M. B. Woods, was royally assisted by her cousin Mrs. Marjorie Taylor. After the general routine of business the hostesses invited their royal guest into the dining room where a sumptuous two course luncheon was served. FIRST COURSE. Beef Loaf Sandwiches BROOKPORT Dear Editor: The Unity Baptist church is getting along nicely. Rev. Coleman was with us Sunday night and preached a wonderful sermon from the 5th chapter of Mats, and 8th verse. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. We had a revival which was conducted by Rev. Coleman which was a great success. At the close of our revival he called a union meeting for the purpose of uniting the two churches into one faction. After a short sermon St. Paul was seated on one side and New Hope on the other. St. Paul offered a resolution on what terms she would unite as follows: That both fractions disband all officers, sell property, select a new home for the church and build a new church somewhere between the creek and the railroad, and the united body elect new officers, the resolution was agreed to an they were united into one body. Rev. Coleman was appointed to preach the uniting sermon the night following and preached a good sermon after preaching a nominating committee was appointed to elect officers to report at a call meeting. We thank Rev. V. 8. Smith, pastor of Washington St. church Paducah, and pay for his success for recommending to us such a man as Rev. J. Coleman, tor he is a good man and has made many friends here. T. H. Flowers, Reporter. AFRO-AMERICAN GULLINGS MAJOR ROBERT R. MOTON re ay on” “4 cs “ O 0 — Major Robert R. Moton, command- ant of Hampton Institute for over twenty years, is, next to Bookér T. Washington, the most distinguished graduate of Hampton. He is president of the Negro Or- ganization Society of Virginia, and secretary of the Jeanes Fund Board. Major Moton has traveled all over the country with Booker T. Washing- ton, and is credited with exerting a tremendous influence in bringing white and colored people into more helpful relations. David F. Houston, federal secretary of agriculture, is a firm believer in the need for co-operative action among farmers. In a recent address before the national grange he said: “In simple justice the producer must be paid specifically for what he pro- ducesand for nothing else, and the consumer must receive what he thinks he purchases and must be willing to pay a fair price for a good product. It is. absolutely clear that before the problems of rural credit and of mar- keting the individual farmer, acting alone, is helpless. Nothing less than concerted action will suffice. Co- operation 1s absolutely essentiat, The same business sense and the same or- ganizing genius which have placed this nation in the front rank in. in- dustry must be invoked for agrieul- ture. “I am not advocating an organiza- tion which will attempt to establish a closed ‘market and to fix prices, I am advocating simply an economic ar rangement which will facilitate pro- duction and enable the prodacer to find the readiest and best market for his produet and the consumer to re- ceive his supplies at the lowest cost. It goes without saying that the mem- bers of the co-operative society must be those who are bona fide producers, and that every approach of the vex: ploiter must be aggressively repelled. ‘The object must be specifically econo- mfc and not remotely political.” ‘The proper distance between. the eyes is the width of one eye. A few days ago at Tuskegee, Ala., was celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of Negro farming. The subject of discussion was “Fifty Years of Negro Farm Life.” The conference was preceded by a parade showing the improvements that have been made in farming dur- ing that period. Among the features were the Negro farmer of half a cen- tury ago with his cob pipe, ox and wooden plough. The wooden plough was followed by another old-time far- mer with a small mule and a scooter plough, Then came a more up-to-date farmer with a good mule, but sill a onehorse plough. Next a two-horse plough, followed by @ four-horse gang plough, dise harrow, roller, seed dri, mower, binder, thrasher, gasoline en- gine,-corn harvester, cotton stalk chopper and other farming implements. At the workers’ conference “The Conservation of Negro Health” was discussed. It is estimated that every year sickness and death cost thé’ Ne- &r0es of the country $60,000,000.

"This ic known a8 “coffee obusts,” oné it war discovared tn Negro problem in the south, was the main topic of the public conference at the annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People heid in New York re- cently, Te speaker who told of the movement, to curtail the land holdings of Negroes was Dr. W. E. B, DuBols, director of publicity and research for the association and the first to spread the facts of the situation in the north. He attacked the position of Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, as one of the chief supporters of the idea of farm segregation, and review: ed the progress in agriculture and property in land on the part of the Negro, which has led to the plan to limit bis activities. Dr. DuBois began his talk on farm segregation by reviewing the solution of the Negro problem suggested twen- ty-five years ago: “Take the Negro out of politics. Train him for work, particularly for farm work. The re- sult will be the disappearance of the Negro problem.” He went on to give statistics to show that the Negro has submitted to practical disfranchise- ment throughout a large part of the south, and to complete social discrim- ination against him, to gain the chance for education and independent support. The results have been, Dr. DuBois asserted, that the Negro schools have been neglected, that a large proportion of the Negro chil dren are not in school, and that there has been quiet but determined opposi- tion to’ the success of the higher schools for Negroes, while in the in- dustrial ‘and agricultural field the Negro has had to contend against tre- mendous odds. Instead of welcoming the fact that despite odds the Negro has developed his abilities and acquired farm prop- erty, as the working out of the solu- tion suggested a quarter of a cen- tury ago, Dr, DuBols sald, the ad- vancement of the race has aroused alarm. So long as the Negro accept- ed education as training to work for the white man there was no trouble, he said, but when he began to work for himself, objections at once sug- gested themselves. The result is the proposition of Clarence Poe, as editor of the Progressive Farmer, that when the greater part of the acreage of a section is owned by one race the voters may say that no land within this section shall be sold to a member of another race, provided the vote is reviewed and approved by a judge or a county commission. This plan, Dr. DuBois asserted, is based on the the- ory of race segregation, which has re- sulted in degradation and failure in the case of the Indians, and which is now aimed at a far larger class, the Negroes. Mrs. Robert M. LaFollette told the good qualities of the Negroes as citi- zens as she had observed them, their ambition, their willingness to work, their love of home and. their natural cheerfulness. In closing she urged that the checking of the activity of the race meant danger to the nation. A room in a school in Los Angeles has been modeled after the principal room in a Roman house, in the belief that the pupils will learn Latin more rapidly in appropriate surroundings. The Yorkshire (England) village of Kettlewell, which was only recently furnished with electric light, is yet without telephones. Race prejudice and its eradication were the topics discussed at the sec- ond of the season's Saturday lunch- eons of the Republican club at Now York. Diserimination against the Jews, Japanese, Chinese and negro ‘was taken up respectively by the Rev. Dr, Samuel Schulman, Rabbi of Tem ple Beth-el; Dr. Toyckichi Syvenaga, professor of history in the University of Chicago; Prof, H. C. Mei, secretary of the China Society of America, and Butler R. Wilson of Boston. Speaking in behalf of the negro, Mr. Wilson said that appeals to the church, society and the agents of the constitution had alike failed to amelt- orate conditions, and that the govern- fone Baa ponse: Sees Saba wate, dice. In the south, the speaker said, race prejudice was unreasoning and fixed, while in the north it was emo- ‘tenal hystesia.
