From this time forward one of the most important departments of the Anti-Saloon League of America, its officials say, will be the home missionary work. This work will be done not only among the foreign speaking element of United States, but also among other large classes, including Negroes. The Negroes of America own 20,000,000 acres of land, 500,000 homes, 64 banks, 398 newspapers and periodicals, 31,393 churches worth $26,000,200. There are 4,000 negro physicians in the United States, 2,000 negro lawyers and 1,000 trained negro nurses; 750,000 negroes have migrated into the Northern states from the South since 1916 It is quite likely, in the opinion of League men, that a special department will handle the work of the negroes. Prohibition in the Southern states, it is agreed by both white and colored men, has been of inestimable benefit to the negroes. Speaking recently, L. B. Musgrove, prominent banker and planter of Alabama said; "Prohibition has done such wonders' for the negroes of my state that if it were left to them to decide, saloons would never come back to Alabama." After West Virginia had been carried dry several years ago, it was discovered that if all the whites had remained and not voted at all except the wet whites, the dry negroes cast a majority sufficient to carry the state. --- Zion City captured about a dozen beer laden motor trucks on the way to Chicago. Attorneys for the truck owners secured a temporary injunction under which the trucks were released to their owners through the appointment of a receiver. The case was heard by Federal Judge Sanborn of Wisconsin who was called into the case during the abscence of the local federal judge. Upon the return of Judge Landis, attorneys for the truck owners came into the federal court and asked to have the temporary injunction made permanent. When Judge Landis, learned that the trucks had been engaged in transporting beer from Wisconsin into Illinois he ordered Wisconsin brewers into court to tell what they knew about the case. This started the investigation which exposed the method of brewers and saloonkeepers in carrying on the traffic in beer stronger than one-half of one cent in Illinois since the first of July. Nevertheless, League men say they have too much neglected the work, especially in the cities where the negroes are not so progressive in the matter of Prohibition as their brethren in rural communities and states. In the plan of the Anti-Saloon League to raise $50,000,000 in addition to its regular finances, there is a budget for a considerable sum to be devoted to the negro work. Family Reunion. Last Sunday Sept. 28th a number of relatives and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Mingo Long, an old and respected couple of Powers District held a family reunion at their country home.

MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." MT. OLIVE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION A SUGGESS $400.00 RAISED Rev. J. B. McCrary, Re-Elected Moderator. Young Ministers and Delegates Support Him Pastor Davis. and Members Royally Cared for Delegates The Mt. Olive Baptist Association of Illinois just closed one of the best sessions in the 69th mile post, under the guidance of Moderator McCrary. This association was organized in 1850 with Father Livingston as its first moderator, and never in the history of its existence has this body made such rapid strides as it did this year. There were 35 churches present which was an increase over last. There were more criticism of the Moderator by ministers, who for the most part had never met the association before and some had met it only once. Many unchristian and unmanly things and efforts were taken by these new men who recently came into the district, championing the cause of the Morris Convention and the State Convention with whom we have no affiliation. Their names are known to all who attended the association. They only brought up $300 from their churches, the largest churches in the district, but the smaller churches and their pastors who are loyal to the Old Mt. Olive Association who love their old fathers who are dead and gone, those who gave their lives for the cause stood true to their trust and the moderator by sending in their money to support every department. There was $400 10 raised at this session more than ever was known, which speaks well for the administration. Rev. J. B. McCrary, was elected moderator over the protests of the enemies of the association who have charge of some of our churches, who have that rule or ruin spirit We wish to thank those who were friends of the association for their support. We assure you we will not allow the old banner to trail in the dust, but will keep it where the old fathers left it. Pastor Davis, and his members royally cared for the association in a way as never before. It was conceded by all delegates were better cared for on the whole than at any time. Rev. Davis, has a new church well furnished with pews furnished by the National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn. Let us look unto God for our future success. Much has been said by these new pastors as to taking out the churches they pastor and organize a new association, but we have Two Convicted in Chicago Riots. By Associated Negro Press. Chicago, 11., Sept 22.—Walter Colvin, 16, 3908 South Dearborn street, and Charles Johnson, 18, 53 West Thirty-sixth street, two Colored boys were sentenced to life imprisonment by a verdict of a jury in Judge Sabath's court last night in connection with the recent race riots. The verdict marked the first conviction in the prosecution of riot cases. Several Colored men were acquitted. Chicago, Sept. 24.—Max Bauer, white, 125 South Halssted st., the district which fomented much of the strife during the race riot, exhibited in a most disgraceful way his virtuous "superior race" characteristics at a movie theatre, when he brazenly annoyed beautiful little Margaret Baker, Colored, ten years old. The little girl rushed out of the theatre crying, and told several Colored men what had happened. The men found Bauer in a hurry and gave him a severe beating. Bauer was then arrested, and before Judge Hayes, on a charge of disorderly conduct, was fined $50 and costs. Nothing was done to the men who administered the beating. Bauer is over fifty years old. DIED. Mr. John Simon Wingo, of Shady Grove, died last week after an illness of several months. He was a member of the Free Baptist Church, having professed religion last March. He was unmarried. Mrs. Jennie McGooden of Brookport, is a sister. Mr. Eli Mason was looking after the body. The funeral was preached by Rev. Maxwell. George McCrary, undertaker. decided as long as there are two churches who are loyal to Christ and Mt Olive Association, this old body will be in tact. The New Hope Baptist Church, Sparta, was the banner church financially having sent in $21.50. Rev. P. B. French, vice moderator is pastor. This spoke well for pastor and church. We wish to thank the pastor and members, of Siloam Bapt. church Unionville, for the donation of $4.00 to moderator as a personal gift to be applied on his expenses to Norfolk, Va. For the most part all of the pastors and churches have been loyal to Moderator McCrary. The next meeting of the Ass'n, will convene with the 2nd Baptist church Centralia. Rev. Carter is a live pastor and is erecting one of the finest buildings in Southern Illinois. The pastor and church of Centralia, will have to go some to equal the Mt. Olive Church in caring for the association. ANOTHER GREAT MEETING GONE DOWN IN HISTORY The Mt. Olive Baptist Association Held Session With Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Colp, III. Sept. 23-28, 1919. The session was held with the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Colp, Sept. 23-27. The preaching was great and the spiritual tide was high and the meeting was largely attended. Money realized Four Hundred Dollars ($400.10) ten cents. This does not include the amount taken in on the table. Elder J. D. Davis, the entertaining pastor and his people certainly know how to care for an Association. The Baptists are surely waking up and getting along financially and spiritually. They are not to be deterred by two or three men, that are trying to split the Association, that have not been in the district long enough to warm a seat. We may speak specially of three ministers that have been in the district three or four years and have done much to help build up the work, viz. Elders G. W. Dorsey, Carbondale, C. W. Norment, Mounds, and J. D. Davis. Their work speaks for them. This is not intended as a reflection, on the brethren that have lately come into the district, but it is both a reflection, as well as a rejection, to those that are attempting to mislead the brethren, and deceive the churches of which they are called to pastor, for the purpose of splitting up the Baptists, in the district and organizing another Association to take over the "milk and cider" so called Baptist State Convention and the Dr E. C. Morris, Incorporated convention. They are grossly guilty of perfidy. They have attempted to put a lot of things over on the administration which they knew were not true. One of the ministers has never visited the East Mt Olive Association, and the S. S Convention only one time, and that was to serve notice on the convention that if they cooperated with the General Missionary Baptist State association there would be another ass'n., in this end of the state. Why! Just because the General Baptist State Association co-operates with the National Baptist Convention Unincorporated. The churches in this end of the state for the most part are sound in the faith; they do not believe in the Church Federation, Alien Immersion, and Free-Will Ordination; so the reader can see that Moderators McCrary, and Washington, Phillips, and others are only a pretext to split up the Baptists in this end of the state for the purpose of taking them over to the Baptist State Convention, so called and from there to the Morris Convention. Mark you the brother that seems to be leading the van, visited the Mt. Olive Ass'n., last week appeared more as a spy, or an obstructionst than any thing else. Their 'propaganda' is hate, rejection, and misrepresentations. Now if the churches in this end of the state wish another association it is alright, it is their privilege, but they are not to be deceived into it so long as I have feet to walk, a tongue to talk and a hand to write. When the dust was cleared away last week and Elder J. B. McCrary, was set in the lime-light, he was over-vhelmingly elected Moderator. All real Baptist want to know is the real truth and they will act. They will only go wrong when they have been misled. Over confidence in the pastor. The apparent leader of the would be "splitter up of the Baptists" was heard to ask on the associational floor last week if the ass'n co-operated with the General Baptist State Association! Let the churches and brethren watch the way the struts are flying and who they are that are kicking up the dust and trying to hide behind it. I close with the following: I am neither writing for fame nor name I am writing for the sake of the truth. For almost 25 years I have given my best days for the denomination and race. No one that knows me can say with good conscience the reverse. Almost every attom of my brain and quiver of my nerve has gone out in the interest of humanity. If we have misrepresented any person, or persons let he or they take up their pen and show and I will beg pardon; but not until then. Respectfully, C. C. Phillips, Golconda.

It is equally certain that all previous records of what human beings can endure and yet live have been broken by the experiences of the 6,000,000 Jewish men, women and children in Eastern Europe during the four years just past. Now that relief workers have penetrated into the affected portions of the Old World, the full story of European Jewry's four years of horror is coming to light. The majority of the Jews abroad, according to reports now in the possession of the American Jewish Relief Committee, have lost their homes, their possessions, their health, one or more members of their families have been bereft, in fact of everything that makes life worth the living. In hundreds of thousands of cases these unfortunates are so deadened by their endless misery that they have all but lost the desire for life itself. The Jewish population of whole districts has not known a full meal in years, while there are almost 1,000,000 children alone who have either forgotten or have never known what milk tastes like. As a result all the diseases attendant upon starvation and lowered vitality are raging. "It is difficult to believe," writes Dr. Boris D. Bogen, executive director of Jewish relief work in Poland, "that humanity can endure suffering to such an extent as is found here. The situation is so depressing that I think it miraculous people still continue to live. The number of homeless children seen on the streets is appalling. "The amount of food is very limited, end, practically speaking, none is to be bought in the open market. It is remarkable that the people still continue their schools for educating the children according to ancient Jewish custom, and in this respect do not lose heart." The above is typical of the accounts of the plight of the Jews in Europe that are received at the American Jewish Relief Committee headquarters at 15 East Fortieth street, New York. These reports furnish the answer to the question as to how much human beings can suffer and still live. The present condition of the Jewish people abroad, according to all the information available, is the last word in human suffering and the utter limit of human endurance. RELIEF WORK MUST GO ON, SAYS HOOVER RELIEF WORK MUST GO ON, SAYS HOOVER Head of American Relief Administration in Interview Endorses Efforts of Private Agencies. New York.—Private charitable and relief organizations must now take over the work of feeding and succoring the poor of Eastern Europe, which was formerly done by the American Relief Administration, Herbert Hoover asserted in Paris, just before his return to this country, according to a dispatch from the New York Times' foreign correspondent. Outside help is imperative, he stated, especially in feeding and clothing the 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 children in Europe whose health and strength are being dangerously undermined by long malnutrition. The work of feeding these children Mr. Hoover considers the most important single thing yet to be done. Of the total number of children affected of 1,000,000 are Jewish. Of this number at least 100,000 are orphans, according to information in the hands of the American Jewish Relief Committee, and most of these youngsters have no home save the streets of Polish cities. A late report from Dr. Boris Bogen, executive director for the Joint Distribution Committee of Jewish relief funds in Poland, states that 375,000 Jewish children in that country are now being fed daily by his agency. Careful estimates based on a partial census show that more than twice this number of Jewish children must be cared for. It is for purposes of expanding this work to care for all these needy youngsters that the American Jewish Relief Committee is seeking a fund of $35,000,000 this year. Without widespread and adequate help from charitable and relief organizations, according to Mr. Hoover's information, literally tens of thousands of these lads and lassies will not survive the coming winter. SEES OLD WORLD JEWRY IN PERIL Dr. Cyrus Adler, Jewish Representative at the Peace Conference, Reviews Eastern European Situation. ECONOMIC RUIN COMPLETE. Food, Clothing, Medicines and Other of Life's Necessities Must Be Provided by America at Once. New York.—"The Jews who lived in the zone of war suffered greater hardships, sustained greater losses and have been left in a worse economic condition than any other people of Europe with the possible exception of the Armenians. In some of the regions where the Jews live as many as five armies marched through, each bearing away with it such property as it desired or needed; and finally the Bolsheviks in their wave of power completed the economic ruin of the Jews." That is the Jewish situation abroad, as seen by Dr. Cyrus Adler, of Philadelphia, one of the most prominent Jewish educators in the country, who was in Europe as a member of the American Jewish delegation to the Peace Conference. He believes that there must be a great deal of economic rehabilitation among his people before they can begin to enjoy the new rights of religious, political and legal equality won for them at Versailles. "East European Jewry, will soon be in a position to help itself, due to the results of the Peace Conference," states Dr. Adler, "but in the critical period that it is passing through now as a result of the European economic and political upheaval, it must receive aid from this country. Food, clotting, medicines—these are the fundamental needs that come before anything else. "Food must be hurried to the European Jews. I have seen breed that these people were eating, when they could get it, that looked more like a dung cake than like food. It was composed of ten per cent. rye, ten per cent. wheat and 80 per cent. tree bark for filter. "Another great need is for the facilitating of individual remittances. In many regions no communications have been possible for five years and mothers, mothers, brothers and sisters have lost all track of their relatives in this country. "In view of all this situation, the coming, Jewish relief campaign is a movement that is worthy of every dollar's worth of support that America can give to it. Withholding of aid by America will spell certain disaster to millions of Jewish men, women and children in Eastern Europe." DWELL UNDERGROUND IN BREST-LITOVSK Jewish Relief Worker Finds His People Living in Holes in Polish Town. New York.—Typical of the condition of Jewish communities throughout Poland and adjacent countries is the story of Brest-Litovsk, as recounted by Dr. Boris D. Bogen, executive director of Jewish relief work in Poland, in a report received recently at the headquarters of the American Jewish Relief Committee, 15 East Fortieth street, here. The population of the town where a couple of years ago the Germans tried to dictate a "peace, of violence" to the Russians is now reduced to about 25,000. Of this number 18,000 are Jews, writes Dr. Bogen. So complete was the war time destruction of the town that most of the people are forced to live in mere holes in the ground. There is a semblance of a hospital without windows, doors or means of heating, but so prevalent are typhus, tuberculosis and other diseases brought on by malnutrition that this institution, like all other Jewish hospitals in eastern Europe, is overwhelmed. "The Jews of America," writes Dr. Bogen, "must take immediate steps to provide for the housing, clothing and feeding of the thousands of destitute Jews in eastern Europe. It will require considerable additional funds to re-equip the hospitals," old folks' homes and orphanages that the Jews have maintained throughout Poland to care for their sick and poor, but these institutions must be gotten into shape for the coming severe winter. "The people are in a terrible condition everywhere, and in great need of the veriest necessities. Homes throughout this region are entirely destroyed for the most part. Refugees who months or years ago were evacuated from the cities are now returning. There is practically no work for them, however, and they a.e in direst need." To provide the funds for remedying these terrible conditions, the American Jewish Relief Committee, under the chairmanship of Louis Marshall and the directorship of Henry H. Rosenfelt, is now engaged in conducting a series of state campaigns throughout the Union. The total amount estimated as necessary to finance the essential relief work for another year is $50,000,000.

Suicide Rate Low In Utah Credit Given to "Block Teacher" System of "Mormen" Church The Chicago Journal gives interesting statistics regarding suicides in Utah and also an idea of the co-operative or community system of "neighborly visits" to which the low rate is claimed to be due: "In the matter of suicides, Utah, in 1915, had the lowest rate of any state in the union, according to statistics of the state health office. The percentage was 12.7 per 100,000 of population. Even this record was bettered in 1916 and 1917, when the number per 100,000 population was 11.8 and 10, respectively. Credit for this low suicide rate is given in a large degree to the "block teacher" system of the Mormon church. Utah's population is largely Mormon and visits by these "teachers" has been found an important factor in preventing actions due to lonesemence and lack of advisors. In each ecclesiastical ward of the church are both ward teachers and relief society teachers. "Blocks," approximating from six to twelve homes within a ward, are visited regularly by these teachers, both men and women. Families are given counsel in both religious, business and family affairs when they desire it. In this way, according to the authorities of the church, those persons of a morose disposition are cheered, young mothers are advised and numerous other matters taken up that have proved of benefit to all. In the advising of young mothers, according to church statistics, it is claimed that the death rate among the young children is remarkably low among those who accept counsel, the records showing that an average of only one in 21 babies under one year of age dies annually. While the "teachers" are principally for the purpose of visiting and counseling members of the church, the help is offered to gentiles as non-"Mormons" are usually termed in the West, if they wish it. No one, including church members need be visited if they do not wish it." Nanvoo, Illinois, according to the Monmouth Review, is historic in other ways than having once been the home of the "Mormons" (who built and occupied it from 1834 to 1846). In an article written by H. S. Salisbury, of Carthage, he says: "In 1844 Nanvoo was twice as large as Chicago, at that time had a great university, an excellent public school system, was the largest city in Illinois and the only city in the world that prohibited the liquor traffic." --- METKOPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. usual problems often arise quire unusual service that efficiently rendered organization. at all emergencies, of any to our profession OUR TELEPHONE IMMATERIAL part of Metropolis, or the man save you Worry, Time the Country and Auto- alty. covered day or night. mpany .

Phone 364 Proposed Constitution Of The Baptist Minister's Alliance. We, the Minister's of the Mt. Olive and East Mt. Olive Baptist District Associations of Southern Illinois, desirous of a more oneness in perpetuating the principles and Doctrines Legislated by Jesus Christ, and practiced by His Apostles, seeking by the word of God to bring ourselves, and the churches as well, more into the unity of the Faith of Jesus Christ, do now adopt the following Constitution. Article 1 Name. Sec.1. This organization shall be called the Missionary Baptist Minister's Alliance of Southern Illinois. Sec.2. Officers. Its Officers shall consist of a President, two Vice Presidents, Recorcing Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer and such committees as may conserve the best interest of the body, all of which shall be elected annually by a majority vote of the body. Article 2 Membership See.1. This organization shall be composed of Missionary Baptist Ministers furnishing bonified membership in any regular Missionary Baptist Church, together with his good standing where he now pastors, or where he last pastored, or the church where he worship's with whether he ever pastored or not Sec.1. This organization shall have the power to receive to, or drop from its fellowship any Minister or Ministers whom it deems worthy or unworthy of fellowship. Sec.2. This Constitution by laws, or regulations, shall by no means conflict with the rules and regulations of the two Associations namely Mt. Olive and East Mt. Olive. Poor Church Fund. A fund of $57.80 was raised by the Mt. Olive Baptist Association at Duquoin, last week through the efforts and advice of Moderator McCrary. This fund will be used to aid weak churches when the Fund reaches the amount to justify. The money will be loaned for a short time at a small intrrest. We have a standing committee to look after this part of the work and we urge every church to establish a Penny Fund by lifting a penny collection every Sunday. This is a move that was in hearty accord with the association and was readily approved. Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrh deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrh Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicinic acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrath Medicine, Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.
