FUTURE CITY.
Mother Hunt is very sick. The christian of Future City should remember that pure and undefele religion is to visit the sick and help to administer to their need.
We know Mother Hunt to be a widow and very much deserving our assistance.
Sunday School Shiloh Baptist church was well attended Sunday. The boys and girls were very much interested in David and Goliath.
Aunt Betty Harris is at her home and unable to do anything.
We should not pass her by without helping her in some way.
Miss Levia Anderson was in Hodges Park Friday and Saturday the guest of Mrs. Mary Johnson.
Mr. Lilius Coleman of Future City died Saturday night of Heart Trouble. His death was quite a shock to every one. The Funeral arrangements have not yet been made.
Mrs Lula Bush is in the Hospital at East St. Louis. She is in a very critical condition and as yet unable to be brought home.
Mrs Lula Waters is able to be up after several days illness.
Dr. Clark the Health officer and Dr. Cox, Dentist (white) made some excellent talks last Monday night April 19th at the Mother's and Father's meeting held in Bruce School. We wish that everyone in Future City, could have heard host talks and if adhe oi to will prevent three fourth if not all the sufferings the sick endure. An excellent paper also was read by Miss Alice Greer Subject Duies and Relations of Parents to Children. In her paper Miss Grear stated that "Children" the backbone of a future rice, should be reared with the same care as that of a tropical plant. In the same proportion that a plant needs rich soil, plenty of air and sunshine. Do children need healthy oundings to thrive well.
We hope the Mothers and Fathers will remember the paper and act accordingly.
After the business was over the oal commttee served cream and cake.

On To Centralia, The Watchword.
A Missionary Baptist Association, is the getting together and strengthening each other in the work of the Master's Kingdom.
Along the lines of missions and Education, Home and abroad District, State, Home and Foreign, this covers the four quarters so to speak. It may be said that most all of the churches believe and agree on missions.
To this we answer yes, but not on the work on missions.
Regular Missionary Baptist are sent out, to baptize the nation these orders were given to His followers at Olivet's shrbrow.
The pedo-baptist of whom the State Convention wish to take in its embrace, have orders from the founders of their churches, to (cheo)pour, or (ratidzo) sprinkle the nation, not only the pedo-baptist churches, but the Campbellites and Freewills.
Thes remarks are not only to inform those who are not informed of the difference between the Missionary Baptist State Association and the State Convention we mean either one. The negro convention or white they are both on the same pattern. If any one thinks the statement far fetched, they have only to inquire into the organization, known as the Southern Association set up in motion by the State Convention [white] last fall at Benton, with six so called missionary Baptist churches and 54 freewills churches without a change of views and these same powers that be organized the Federation with a number of Baptist churches (colored) in Chicago, this is what they call a union. N difference it means the same thing that the federation it is but a rose under another name, but a rose just the same
But the Baptist Churches have not been consulted as to whether or not they were willing, lay aside the doctrine as handed down by Jesus Christ and practiced by the apostle, but handed over by a few ministers. Let the old line baptist that have stood by the stuff, for long years, look into the matter and see where they have been landed without their knowledge or consent. The Master bath need of thee, Jesus says, There-
fore pay ye; Hallowed be thy name; thy Kingdom come; thy will be dore in earth as it is in Heaven. Therefore said he unto them the harvest truly is great but the laborers are few; pray ye ther fore the Lord of the harvest that he would send forth laborers into his harvest. Our mission is to teach, preach and baptize.
As to the spirit of prayer, it at will be regulated largely by your labor for its end; so I am bound to the conclusion, that the great hindrance to the salvation of the world is chiefly in want of the personal consecration of christians to that end; and men, and women who can give life do not give their life; that men and women who can not give life but can give money, do not give as the Lord prospers them, when we pray for the Lord to send labors into his harvest, we must do what we can to see that they do go. The laborers must go and those who stay must pray, and contribute to feed those that do go. Give means to prosecute the work. Otherwise the talk of covering the world to God is a mere mock and trifle with God and the souls of mea. Strange but true, neverthe less in this great commercial age, we appear to forget God. Our railroads, factories, sciences, arts and the ordinary business affairs and common employment, seen almost to exclude God from the minds of mer, the wealth prosperity and social blessing, are derived from another source altogether. For these reasons men and women are dying before their time, and without thy glory.
To accomplish this heavenly mission, the gold and the silver which God created for this great end of advancing the glory of his Kingdom. He gives the prosperity by which every one, of his sons and daughters obtain or accumulate any share of it and the and the prosperity which it represent, and the church can only prosper in her earthly charge when each one of her membership contributes and performs his part in the spirit of the Devinne Rule laid down in the Devinne book.
If our churches fail and are beaten back, or even the Association, in the great undertaking for the advancement of the Masters Kingdom, it will be chiefly because some of the soldiers have tattered and have fallen back and discouraged and disheartened others, but with God to help us we shall know no defeat.
The ministers and other members in the organization pledged themselves to contribute $100 each independent as to what the churches give.
May the Lord stir the good men and women of the state as never before, to come up to the help of the Lord. Let the chairman of the educational board speak out, and let not the chairman mission board be silent.
We hope to visit every church in this end of the state, either in person, pen or proxy, before the meeting in Centralia, we have been shindered by sickness for a time from visiting the churches but under God we are getting straight once more we hope.
Respectfully,
C. C. Phillips.

NOTICE
To the Baptist women of the Stat of Illinois, after extending to yo my congratulations and greetings for tee New Year 1915, this little note toes you from the General Missionary Baptist State Association of Illinois, through her corresponding secretary, informing you that we feel very keenly the mistake we made last October by not notifying and organizing the Women's department of our State Association. But, since the mill never grinds with water that is passed, we will forget those things are passed, and press forward to the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Since the organization of the General Missionary Baptist State Association at M. Vernon, Illinois, October 1914 it has been my pleasure to travel from one end of the state to other, and we find that the women of our Baptist Zion are getting their eyes open to the fact, that we need a real sure enough Woman's General Missionary Baptist State Association. And since it is, and always has been my disposition to give honor to whom honor is due, I wish to take time and space enough right here, to dash one boquet if no more, at our original president of Women's State Convention in the person of sister K. L. Cosby. She gave me her word while I was in Chicago, November last, that she was a Baptist, not in name only, but in reality, and cast her lot with them who proved that they were earnestly contending for the Faith, first delivered to the saints. Now, that sister Cosby, and her like-minded Baptist sisters may have an opportunity to help us to earnestly tontend for the Eaith; at our State meeting when convened next May 1915, at Centralia; when we will organize a Women's General Missionary Baptist State Association.
Great preparation is being made for that great coming meeting next May, at Contralia Illinois. We are looking for our Baptist women from the North from the West and from the East. our Baptist women in (this) the Southern part of the state, are wateeing the possession of our Baptist Zion, while the ministers and deacons and laymen are fighting and contending for the Faith once delivered to the saints, and instead of this host of Baptist women fainting at the clouds that have been darkening the havens since last June on the hottest battle, and the darkest hour, these women have been heard sining to Dr's. Phillips, Dorsey, Mc, Williams, Starks, Allison, Knowles, Parrish, Armstead, and others who are taking care of, and cultivating this Baptist (State) field, and their song is Hold the fort for we are coming, and John F. Thomas will be in the chair, and all of us Baptist women, sisters? Cosby, Anderson, Bates, Phillips, Bledsoe, O'Connor and others will be there in May. By the grace of God we will there.
I am yours for the Women's Genera Missionary Baptist State Associationo the state of Illinois.

WOMAN WOULD NOT GIVE UP
Though Sick and Suffering; At Last Found Help in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Richmond, Pa. — "When I started taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was in a dreadfully rundown state of health, had internal troubles, and was so extremely nervous and prostrated that if I had given in to my feelings I would have been in bed. As it was I had hardly strength at times to be on my
Compound I was in a dreadfully rundown state of health, had internal troubles, and was so extremely nervous and prostrated that if I had given in to my feelings I would have been in bed. As it was I had hardly strength at times to be on my feet and what I did do was by a great effort. I could not sleep at night and of course felt very bad in the morning, and had a steady headache.
"After taking the second bottle I noticed that the headache was not so bad, I rested better, and my nerves were stronger. I continued its use until it made a new woman of me, and now I can hardly realize that I am able to do so much as I do. Whenever I know any woman in need of a good medicine I highly praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." — Mrs. FRANK CLARK, 3146 N. Tull St., Richmond, Pa.
Women Have Been Telling Women for forty years how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has restored their health when suffering with female illies. This accounts for the enormous demand for it from coast to coast. If you are troubled with any ailment peculiar to women why don't you try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound? It will pay you to do so. Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass.

SAVE LIVES AT SEA
Lighthouse Keepers Worthy of the Highest Praise.
Although the pay is small and the life often lonely, the lighthouse service attracts as a rule an excellent class of faithful men, willing to take large risks in doing their duty and also in helping those in distress. There are many cases of faithful service and bravery.
There are a number of woman light-keepers. One of these, the keeper of Angel Island light in San Francisco bay, reported that after the machinery of the fog signal was disabled on July 2, 1906, she "had struck the bell by hand for 20 hours and 35 minutes until the fog lifted," and that on July 4, when the machinery was further disabled, she stood all night on the platform outside and "struck the bell with a nail hammer with all my might. The fog was dense."
A widely known woman lighteeper was Ida Lewis, who died about three years ago. She lived at Lime Rock lighthouse, on a ledge in Newport harbor, for 57 years, her father having been appointed keeper when she was twelve years old. She was keeper of the light for 32 years. There are reports of her having rescued 13 persons from drowning. On one occasion it is said, she saved three men who were swamped in attempting to pick up a sheep, and then she rescued the sheep also.
Because of the difficult life, keepers at isolated stations are granted shore liberty and leave 72 days a year, and crews of light vessels 90 days a year.
The first lighthouse on this continent was built by Massachusetts, in 1715-1716, on an island in the entrance to Boston harbor.
The first class light and fog signal stations are located at the more prominent and dangerous points along the seaboard, and on a well-lighted coast such stations should be sufficiently close that a coasting vessel may always be in sight of a light. The smaller lights are placed to mark harbors, inside channels and dangers. Along the navigable rivers numerous post lights are maintained to indicate the channels.
For New York harbor and immediate approaches alone 268 aids to navigation are required, including 46 shore lights, two light vessels and 36 lighted buoys; there are 192 buoys of all classes and 37 fog signals, including sounding buoys.
Among the lighthouses of the country may be found examples of great engineering skill and of dignified and simple design. Some of the tall lighthouse structures are of beautiful architecture, suited to the purpose, and set off by picturesque location on headland or rock overlooking the sea. The tower must be built to give the light a suitable height above the wa

ter, and hence tall lighthouses are required on low-lying coasts.
A light must be 200 feet above the sea level to be seen from the deck of a vessel 20 nautical miles distant. Beyond that distance the curvature of the earth would prevent a light at this elevation being seen.
Hitting a Brother Barrister.
In the Stokes trial A. B. Boardman, Stokes' attorney, said.
"My client is tired of lawyers. They have cheated him enough, and now he prefers to put the matter before a jury."
"I hope," said Joseph H. Choate, the opposing attorney, with that everyday smile and suave tone so well known, "that my brother has done nothing to forfeit his client's confidence." and even the grave justices had to smile, while Boardman bit his lip.
Calculation.
"She said she' would be content with love in a cottage," said the young man with a calculating mind.
"That's a fine sentiment."
"Perhaps. But I can't help wondering whether a cottage is the best her father intends to do for us."

You Look Prematurely Old
Have You a Bad Back?
Does your back ache night and day, make work a burden and rest impossible? Do you suffer stabbing, darting pains when stooping or lifting? Most bad backs are due to hidden trouble in the kidneys and if the kidney secretions are scant or too frequent of passage, proof of kidney trouble is complete. Delay may prove the way to overcome it.

MR. ROUNDER A DIPLOMAT
Anyone That Could Get Away With Excuse He Offered Is Deserving of the Name.
Mr. Rounder lay in the hospital with a broken leg and a bruised head. But they weren't worrying him most. There in the morning paper was the whole story of one too many joy rides, chorus girls and all, staring from page 1.

American Milk Bottles to Britain:
In reference to our recent paragraph on the shortage in milk bottles due to the supply having in the past been drawn from Austria, we are informed by a firm in the trade that this difficulty is now being overcome. It is possible to secure bottles from America, of equal quality and at the same price as the Austrian product. We are glad to hear that the Austrian source of supply can be dispensed with without inconvenience, but we should be still more glad to hear that the demand could be met by British makers. In this connection we are informed that English bottles are to be obtained, "but at a rise of 20 per cent and of an inferior quality."—London Globe.
ST. LOUIS WOMAN SUFFERS 15 YEARS
Mrs. Rosa B. Bennett of 2608 B Olive Street, St. Louis, Mo. was ill with stomach troubles for nearly fifteen years. She had a great deal of medical attention and took many treatments. She was advised to undergo an operation by one specialist. Instead she took Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and found swift relief. She wrote:
"I was a sufferer for about fifteen years and I tried everything. I doctored with different doctors, and each one would give my trouble a different name. One said that I would never be any better until I was operated on, and another one said I had ulcers of the stomach. I could get no relief.
"I took Mayr's Wonderful Remedy.
"Now I can't praise your medicine enough."
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives permanent results for stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever you like. No more distress after eating, pressure of gas in the stomach and around the heart.

FROM EGYPT'S FAMOUS QUEEN
Colored Man's Explanation of How His Wife Acquired Her Somewhat Peculiar Name.
Dean Hermann Schneider of the college of engineering in the University of Cincinnati, who is helping the city of New York to organize its system of continuation schools and kindred activities, many years ago when he lived in Maryland engaged a colored man and his wife to help in the upkeep of the house and premises. This part of the preliminary conversation Dean Schneider tells with gusto:
"Oh, yes, sah."
"What's your wife's name?"
"My wife's name is Clara-Peters."
"How can that be, if your name is Burgee?"
"Oh, that's her first name; just her first name. All of her name Clara-Peters Burgee."
"What do you call her?"
"Clara-Peters."
"How did she get that name?"
"How did she get that name?"
"Well, sah, her old father, he was educated: he could read, and he terrible fond of readin' the Bible and Shakespeare, and sich books, and namin' his children' ater folks he read about. So, when Clara-Peters was born, he just nachally name her Clara-Peters, ater that old queen of Egypt!"

Everything—in the professor's eyes —depended upon this last test. His work of research for years was now about to either prove a success or a failure.
To the P. the air seemed electrified, and he had success in view when he heard the familiar step of a doctor acquaintance approaching.
"Well, what is it, old man? Can't you see I'm frightfully busy?"
A smile broke over the doctor's face.
"It's a bonnie boy, sir—a little son and heir."
"All right—all right!" irritably growled the professor, whose thoughts were far removed from the outside world. "Be so good as to send him away, but ask him what he wants pestering around here at this unearthly hour, will you?"

Canadian Whea

Canadian Wheat to Feed the World The war's fearful devastation of European crops has caused an unusual demand for grain from the American Continent. The people of the world must be fed and there is an unusual demand for Canadian wheat. Canada's invitation to every industrious American is therefore especially attractive. She wants farmers to make money and happy, prosperous homes for themselves while helping her to raise immense wheat crops.

|the village Miss Arabella Cady's select
boarding house was known as “The
‘Zoo." As Sally Hecker vivactously
explained it to her fellow teachers at
the bigh school, “It'is a human zoo,
anyway, if there could be such @
thing!
* “First,” sald Sally, “there fa our
own reverend principal, Mr. Dale—ia
he not @ perfect bear, a big, growly,
grizzly béat? And Doctor Coleman is
@ perfect polar bear, so cold and un-
mannerly and restless} And Miss
‘Twitchell 1s a feline—soft and purry
and with sharp claws that scratch,
and a biting tongue, And,” Sally
giggled, “I heard Mr. Dalo say that
the new boarder, the young man who
works in the drug store, was a puppy,
and everyone knows what a silly
goose Mra. Jones is, and all the rest
ot the house full are just as funny
and freakish. Oh, no; Miss Lane,
don't go to the Zoo to board!”
Violet Lane, the new teacher,
smiled mirthfully at Sally's descrip
tion of Miss Cady'’s boarders,
__ “You are too tate, Miss Hecker; I've
‘engaged board there and I don't care
what you say about the rest of them,
but I do think Miss Arabella is a per.
fect dear.”
A gale of laughtor greeted her re
mark,
“A dear! What did I tell you,
girls?” cried Sally. “Oh, don't mind
our foolishness, Miss Lane; you are
& dear yourself and entirely eligible
to go to The Zoo. Perhaps you can
do some missionary work among
them all.”
Violet smiled and was silent. She
could not explain to these giddy girls
how pleasant and homelike was the
Uittle chintz-hung room at Miss Cady's,
where she had unpacked her belong-
ings that very morning. How quiet
‘was the home atmosphere of the place
and how delicious the well-cooked
food!
They could not appreciate what this
position tn the Vineland school meant
to @ girl who had worked her way up
from an orphaned and friendless
childhood, who had paid for her own
‘education and who had never known
what a real home was like.
To Violet Lane Miss @ndy's Zoo was
@ charming colontal home filled with
delightful people. It was more than
that, it was bome.

‘companions,
Lane turned tn at Miss Cady's gato:
smiled as they hurried away in af-
fected fear of its inmates, and was
atitt smiling as she opened the front
door.
‘The emile died away as she met the
fleree, dark gaze of Homer Dale, the
Principal of her sebool. Mr. Dale, a
‘tall, dark, studiouslooking man,
growled a greeting, tried to smile and
failed utterly, before ho desperately
bolted into the sitting room and hid
himself behind a newspaper.
‘Violet was purzied. “I don’t believe
he likes me," she thought, as she
mounted the stairs. At the top she
met little Mine Twitchell, who had
lived for many years at the Zoo. She
had a Uttle, driedup face and form,
and spoke In a rasping little voice.
“Oh, it's you, Miss Pane—Lane or
Dane, did you say? Oh, Lane! 1
really thought you were a little girl;
‘but lat when our schoo! teachers wear
such short skirts and flounce around

*“Bhe is scratchy!” decided Violet
‘a8 she removed ber hat and slipped

ing for supper. “But I don't care—
& real home has cate and dogs, and
sometimes, L suppose, a tame bear,
‘and I may as well make friends with
them; make pets of them, perhaps.”
She sat down at the crowded ta-
bile, with violet eyes and rosy lips and
cheeks and hair like pale corn silk;
surely this flower face did not belong
here among these sterner counte-
ances.
‘The drug clerk passed the butter
twice to Violet and ventured a re-
mark about the weather. Mr. Dale
frowned at his overtures and again
passed the butter to the new boarder.
Miss Twitchell made a scratchy
remark and fat Mra. Jones giggled.
‘Violet blushed and Doctor Coleman
emerged from his polar-bearjshness
Yong enough to remark that she
looked feverish, and suggested to
Mr. Dale that there might be an epl-
demic of scarlet fever threatening the
echool.
“Oh, 1 have had ecarlet fever,” re-
assured Violet, hastily.
Doctor Coleman froze up again and
asked for another cup of tea, ,
"The remaiider of the mosl was

into the dim parlor. She had learned
to play by @ir and she had a’pweet,

out from her fingers she sang softly
to their accompaniment. - ' "="

this last favorite love song of several
genorations Violet becameraware that
other voices were added.to her ‘own.
Somehow, the dim room. had miys-
teriously beconlé ‘populated with
shadowy forms. ‘There Was 'the feedy
treble of Miss Twitchell, the deep
bass of Doctor Coleman, the throaty
alto of Mrs, Jones, and the rich barl-
tope of Homer Dale: Miss Crotty, the
milliner, hummed like a bee, and the
Bennets, husband and’ wife, sang all
off the key in no particular voices at
all.
But they all enjoyed it and Violet
said never a word, but when the
song wag finished her fingers drifted
into the melody of “Silver ‘Threads
Among the Gold,” ‘and’ something »in
the old song brought tears to many
eyes and it ended in a quavering sob
quickly stifled by Miss Twitchell.
‘Then they were silent while Violet
sang “The Rosary.” At the end of the
first tow bars Mf.” Dale's baritone
took up the song and together they
sang {t through to the end,
‘Violet was trembling with happ!-
ness when the plano was closed at
last and she went out to the porch
with her fellow boarders.
How animatedly they all talked;
Doctor Coleman, reminded of bis boy-
hood, told witty stories; Miss Twitch-
ell confided a half-forgotten love affair
that had to do with a church choir in
which she had once sang; Mrs, Jones
had been reminded of a lost little
one, and ever after that the listeners
treated the middle-aged widow with
tender deference; Mins Crotty told of
how she had always wanted to study
music, but there had been no money
and many mouths: to feed and—

Homer Dulce was silent; bin eyes

the girl, in return for the confidence
of these new-found friends, told the
nad story of her loveless life. She
told it simply and straightforwardly.
“My dear,” quaverod Miss Twitch-
ell, at last, and she quite forgot to
seratch, “you are a wonderful girl

you—and I hope you will forgive

“Dear Misa Twitchell!” — mur-

Still Homer Dale said nothing.
The others chatted so fast that
they entirely forgot his presence.
When bedtime came Violet saw his
extended hand, and her own little
one was lost in its warm grasp.
“Thank you, Miss Lane, for con-
Siding in us this evening,” he said
gravely.
As she prepared for bed a tender
‘mile curved her lips. “If these are

ly's story, I must say that I adore

slumber,
Sally Hecker faced her fellow
teachers with a tragic wave of her
hand toward Violet Lane, who was
walking home with Homer Dale.
“Girls, look!” she commanded.
“There goes the most successful anl-

‘There died in’Montgomery @ short
time ago ee who did a
noble work, in the education of the
Negro race in Alabama, and bis pass-
ing has made a vacancy that will not
be easy to fill. His name was W. B.
Paterson; bis fame was purely local,
for he did not make the big noise, and
“Hecause he was a white man conduct-
itig a Negro school he did not get the
‘nototlety that has been such a factor
in the upbuflding of the noted Negro
educators of the South.
Professor Paterson drifted’ in ‘Ala-
bama about 1870, looking for work, He
was homeless and friendiess, afflicted
with an incurable dentness that made
Social intetcourse an impossibility
“with him) He bad ttamped from New
York to Omaha,and then back Hast
looking for work, but could, find none.
“By trade he was a gardener. His
forebears before him had been gar.
deners on the estate of a Scotch
Laird Albemarle, or some such name,
and he had learned their trade. He
got’s job at Marion, on a plantation,
digging ditehes and doing ordinary
farm work along with the Negroes,
and this proximity taught him the
exact condition of the Negro’s intel-
ligence and educational advancement.
Out of it came a Negro school that
grew until {t became a state normal
with a large patronage. The planta-
tion owner for whom he worked took
a faney to him and helped him on
“with the first school, and with this en-
-couragement he bufit up an establish
merit that was too large for Marion.
‘The Scotch gardener had his eye on
the state capital, and he made his
‘plans to move his school there.
When ft became known in Mont-
‘gomery that a white man was going
to move a Negro school to that city,
“tt mass meeting of the citizens was
held and speeches were made, a8 Pro-
fessor Paterson often afterward said,
“they almost tarred and feathered
‘him ” ‘This latter was in a figurative
sense only. Nothing. daunted, the
schoolmaster move his school to
Montgomery, and went quietly. about
his business. He conducted an order-
‘ly Institution; he taught the Negroes
domestic selence, manual training,
trades, the dignity of labor, the value
of keeping in the’ place the white
people of the South satd the Negro
must keep, There was no social equal-

tion that he taught such or practiced

reverence for him, that was almost
patriarchal in its simplicity.
Montgomery quieted down after the
school was settled, and in a few years
began to look upon It as an asset and
on Professor Paterson as a public
benefactor. Year by year he inereased
the membership of his school, and in
order to make it self-sustaining and to
make ft possible for the students to
pay thelr way through, he placed them
fn the homes of Montgomery as serv-
ants, fixing the ‘school hours so that

From a recent account in a church pa-
per, I note the following: “The church
building used.for the services is rent-
ed property, and Is likely to be sold at
any moment.”
‘The purpose of this article is to
point out that as early as 1843 there
‘was a parish of’ colored people in
Providence, “Christ church;” that the
parish having gone out of existence,
the money for. freeing the church
building {rom-debt having been raised
in England by .a colored, priest, and
turned over to the diocesan authort-
ties in trust, it seems to me that in
this emergency the diocesan authori-
ties should ‘welcome the opportunity
for making restitution. Here 1s an’ ex-
tract from the Episcopal address of
Bishop Henshaw, in 1849, which
throws light upon the matter:
“At the time of the meeting of the
last annual convention, Rev. Eli W.
Stokes, rector of Christ church in this
city, was absent, in Europe, for the
purpose of soliciting funds to liquidate
the debt by which that parish has
been embarrassed ever since their
house of worship was erected. In
consequence of a certificate, required
ay, the laws of England, furnished by
me, he was received with great kind-
ness by the archbishops, bishops and
clergy of our mother church; and | am
happy to inform you that his mission
was crowned with entire success, and
the liberal contributions which he re-
ceived in that distant«land have en-
ubled the gentlemen holding the prop-
erty fn trust to make a satisfactory
settlement, with the mortgagees. The
congregation is now free from debt,
and our colored brethren have wisely
made over their corporate property to
the ‘board of commissioners for church
building’ with a view of “security
against embarrassment and incum-
Yrahce for the time to come, The
Christian generosity with which our
English brethren answered the appeal
made to them in behalf of that feeble
parish has been duly acknowledged in
a letter addressed by me to his grace
the archbishop of Canterbury, and
through him to the church over which
he worthily presides.”
District Commissioner Louis Brown-
low and Charles E. Nesbit, superintend-
ent of insurance of the district, were
speakers ata meeting in the Metro-
politan A. M. BE. Zion church, under
the auspices of the trustees and Men's
club of the church, relates the Wash-
ington Star,
The commissioner spoke of the
value of vocational training, and de-
elared that improvement in living can-
ditions is responsible for a reduction
in the mortality rate of the colored
population of Washirigton.
Mr, Nesbit urged the men’s clubs of
colored churches to take an interest
in insurance matters, with the object
of protecting members of their race
against the practices of unscrupulous
companies,
to honor them in making this church
at Providence, for colored people, all
that it ought to be, and a fitting me-
morial to these pioneer laborers.

from crawling out surrounds the farm,
‘but it is low enough to allow visitors
a chance to see over.
It is by this means that this educa-
tional work is carried on. Familiarity
breeds contempt there as elsewhere. If
you see a snake that you haye believed
to be a dangerous enemy playing with
its master each day you gradually alter
your opinion of it. At any rate that is
what has happéned and is happening
there.
Inside the wall is a waterfilled
trench, also Hned with concrete, while
cement walks ‘connect the snake
houses. At night the snakes are herd:
ed into these double-shaped structures
and ‘the doors are closed. In the
morning an attendant wakes up the
reptiles by prodding them with a stick
through a hole in the door, after which
the doors are removed and the snakes
come out for their morning bath in
the trench.

successively from spring until fall

“As a matter of fact, the poem has Ilt-

due to the meat trust, Mary could not

Hindus for centuries have used new honey as a laxative and old honey as an nettringent. Aborigines of Pongia offered honey to the sun. Groeks still mix it with milk of water and use it as a libation to the dead. In one section of India milk and honey are handed to all bridegrooms as they arrive at the door of the bride's father, and in ancient Egypt honey was long a chief ingredient of embalming fluid.

"I have to face the fact," mused the fashionable photographer, as he looked over some recent pictures, "that there are some very ugly features in this business."
Origin of Christening Ships.
The ceremony of christening ships is a survival of a barbaric custom when sacrifices were made to the gods, and some living victim or offering was held up and its throat cut so that the blood flowed over the prow of the ship being launched. The vessel was baptized in warm blood. Now sprinkling wine or pure water is used, and the change has many advantages, though the symbolism remains.

Chicago, Ill., April 7th, 1915.
Dear Co-Workers: Greeting, the time is fast approaching for our state meeting which will convene in Rock Island in June, with the McKindley Baptist Church.
God has blessed us in all our efforts and we must still trust Him for the future.
We separated last June, filled with the spirit and a zeal to work more this year than we have in the past, but our way has been darkened. Death has visited some of our homes and many of our great leaders have been called from labor to reward; while we are left here for some purpose. God created us for a glorious purpose, and said; "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." He is calling for valiant hearted soldiers, those who have tarried at Jerusalem until they were imbued with power from on high, to push this battle to the end.
So let us take new courage and fight sin on every side. It is true I am a Baptist indeed and I have been born again, and where Jesus leads I will follow. I do not attribute the success of the state Convention to myself alone but with the assistance of our splendid officers and members of the convention
Our sisters are working in peace and harmony and the conventional year is far spent to respond to the invitation coming from the New State Association.
We believe all business for the King must be done in a christian like manner I studied the matter over prayerfully and have decided that all business should be adjusted at the state convention, and not through the newspapers. A notice of our work through our corresponding secretary, has been before you since Feb. 17th 1915.
We hope every Baptist sister will respond to the call and help to make this the banner year. Come singing and praying. The National Baptist convention convenes in Chicago in September. We hope that you will organize new circles and children's bands, and train our boys and girls to work for Christ while they are young. Do not forget the Art and Needle work for Foreign Mission. Sisters Delaney, Taylor and Davis need our support. Dear Sisters God is calling you to help them bear their burden. Let us get busy. We want two hundred dollars for education. We are asking every Baptist woman in the State to help in this great work by giving and praying.

The revival meeting of Rock Hill Baptist church conducted by Rev. A. S. Webb of Ullin closed Friday night and as a result of the meeting there were ten conversions, we feel that enough cannot be said of Rev. Webb in every way he performed his duty well. We also found him to be a man of both spiritual and intellectual growth. He gained for himself many friends among the people of Carbondale and we extend to him a hearty welcome to our city at any time. Amount raised curing revival $40.00.
During the past two weeks several additions were made to the church which goes to show that the membership of Rock Hill Baptist church is rapidly increasing.
