ENDEAVOR ARMY IN CHARGE
FIRST BIENNIAL CONVENTION MEETS FOR SEVEN DAYS' SESSION.
Convened Tuesday Evening In St. John A. M. E. Church.
DELEGATES IN ATTENDANCE FROM ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTRY—MANY OF THE LEADING MEN AND WOMEN OF THE RACE HERE—A WAVE OF CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP PERVADES THE CITY—MEETINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MONDAY, JULY 8.
The opening session of the first biennial Convention of the Allen Christian Endeavor Leagues of the African Methodist Episcopal Church was called to order on Tuesday evening at eight o'clock in St. John A. M. E. Church, corner of Cedar street and Eighth avenue, North, by Bishop M. B. Salter, D. D., president of the Endeavor Department. The beautiful auditorium was packed to overflowing with delegates to the Convention and citizens of Nashville. Dr. T. W. Haigler, pastor of St. John Church, and his members deserve much credit for the manner in which they have prepared the church of the Convention. Every way one turns his eyes a new scene is beheld.
Prior to the opening of the meeting the choir, under the direction of Prof. J. I. Watson, entertained the vast assemblage with a soul-stirring song service. At the conclusion of which Bishops Salter and Tyree ascended the rostrum. Bishop Salter stated the hour had arrived for him, as the head of the Endeavor Department, to open the first Biennial Allen Endeavor Convention. Bishop E. Tyree lined hymn No. 626, "Jesus shall reign," etc. At the conclusion of the hymn Bishop Salter said that as this was the first meeting of the kind in the history of the A. M. E. Church, he desired that every one present kneel while Bishop Tyree would ask the divine blessings of God upon the meeting. All present seemed to be greatly affected by the fervent prayer by Bishop Tyree, and a wave of brotherly love could be seen in the countenance, and a harmonious meeting was assured. Seated upon the rostrum were Bishop M. B. Salter, D. D., of Charleston, S. C.; Bishop E. Tyree, D. D., LL. D., M. D., of Nashville, Tenn., Bishop L. J. Coppin, D. D., Philadelphia, Pa.; Dr. W. D. Chappelle, Secretary of the A. M. E Church Sunday School Union, Nashville, Tenn.; Rev. E. J. Gregg, D. D., of Jacksonville, Fla., Secretary Christian Endeavor Department, and several prominent pastors and presiding elders.
Scripture lesson was read by Dr. E. J. Gregg, who read for the evening's lesson the twelfth chapter of Romans. Bishop Salter asked the Secretary of the Endeavor Department, Dr. Gregg, to read the law authorizing them to call the Convention which was done. He then declared the Convention open. He said he desired to introduce to the Convention his colleague in the person of Bishops L. J. Coppin and E. Tyree. He next introduced Dr. W. D. Chappelle, Presiding Elders Lewis, Nixon and Welch, and all the superintendents of conferences and states. Bishop Salter asked that the delegates hold prayer services where they are stopping morning and evening.
Dr. Gregg made a few remarks outlining the work of the Convention. He instructed everyone to bring a note book and Bible to each session, as the Convention would be practically a school and that each was here to have a good time by working hard.
Wednesday Morning.
The Allen Christian Endeavor League opened at 9:30 o'clock. A brief session of the Board of Control was the first business conducted. At 10:15 the religious services were
NASHVILLE. TENN.. FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1907.
opened by singing hymn No. 1, "O for a thousand tongues to sing," etc. Prayer by Rev. I. H. Bergen, of ..., "All hail the power of Jesus' name," etc., was sung, after which Rev. I. O. Walls, of Arkansas, read for a Scripture lesson Romans 5. The Decalogue service was conducted by State Superintendent Hunter, of Washington, D.C. Dr. E. J. Gregg announced that the Board of Control had agreed on the following officers for the Convention: Prof. A. St. George Richardson, President of Edward Waters College, Jacksonville, Fla., Secretary; Rev. T. W. Haigler, of Nashville, Tenn., Assistant Secretary; Mrs. Lelia A. Adams, of Chicago, Ill., Secretary; Rev. J. G. Robinson, of Louisville, Ky., Reporter; Rev. Wm. Byrd, of Atlanta, Ga., Treasurer.
Bishop Salter announced that the communion service had been deferred, and that he would now receive introductions. Bishop C. H. Phillips, of the C. M. E. Church, was the first introduced, followed by Dr. E. W. S. Hammond, Dean of the Theological Department of Walden University. Bishop L. J. Choppin was introduced and spoke words of encouragement. He said he did not feel that he ought to attempt to make a speech under the circumstances as the time was so far spent it was necessary to push forward to the completion of the organization. He said the work was in its incipiency, and of necessity would have to be put in smoothe running order.
Bishop C. H. Phillips was the next speaker. He expressed himself as highly pleased to be present, and hoped that much good would be accomplished, and that a great army of young men and women for the Christian army be gathered under the banner of Jesus Christ.
Bishop Tyre was the next speaker He said, "The poor you have with you always," and that it would not be in order for him to make a speech, but that he desired to announce that the Railway Protective Association had offered their hall for the use of the visiting delegates, and they had put in electric lights in order that the hall might be used at night. He spoke of the hope of the meeting and made a strong plea for the redemption of the young. He said "The young people we are after do not come to church, and we are here to find a remedy for their rescue;" also that he did not believe the ship would sink, for God would not permit a ship to sink that he had kept afloat for forty years. Dr. Chappelle suggested that a committee be appointed to revise the Constitution of the League, and he was informed that such a committee had been appointed. Dr. Chappelle was asked to suggest a person or persons to be added to the committee. He suggested the name of Mr. Wm. E. DeLacy, of Chicago Ill. Those having in mind any change that would be of benefit to the committee as an addition to the constitution would write them and hand them in at the next meeting.
WEdnesday Evening.
The convention was called to order by Bishop M. B. Salter. "Nearer my God, to Thee," etc., was sung by the choir. Prayer was offered by Prof. Lawrence, of South Carolina. The congregation joined in singing "Onward, Christian Soldier." Dr. E. J. Gregg, Corresponding Secretary, made a few remarks. Among other things he said. "We have looked forward to this hour with great anticipation. We had extended formal invitations to the Governor and Mayor to be present, but they were unable to be present; we have, therefore, filled their places with others. There will be one extra number that you will know when you get to it." The choir sang "Oh for a thousand tongues to sing," etc.
The first speaker of the evening was Rev. C. H. Boone in behalf of the city churches. He spoke of the success attained by the African Methodist Church in the affairs of the nation. Miss Lizzie Stockell was the next speaker in behalf of the Local Union. She spoke eloquently and received great applause. The next speaker was Rev. Wm. Flagg, who spoke in behalf of the Local Union. He told of the efforts put forth to prepare for the comforts of the delegates to attend. And said that if the work had to be done over the committee would roll up their sleeves and go at it again. The African Methodist has furnished her quota of men to take their places among the men of the day. At the conclusion of his speech Bishop Salter called for a chautauqua salute.
The next speaker of the evening was Mr. D. A. Hart, who welcomed the Convention in behalf of St. John Sunday School, Endeavor Society and the church. Miss Lydia E. Norris, of New Orleans, La., rendered a solo. She possesses a rich contralto voice and has an easy delivery. Dr. P. W.
Walls, or Arkansas, responded. He said, "This occasion betokens a new era in the Christian world, and we hope to see great results from this meeting." Continuing, he said, "I have always had faith in my race, and this demonstration only strengthens that faith. We have come to the conclusion that there is a peculiar place to be filled by the young people of the African Methodist Church. It is said that the Negro cannot progress beyond a certain line; this meeting belies that statement. The time has come for us to take care of our own children. We can teach our people better than anybody else. We can preach better for them; we can sing better for them, and from this time on we are going to sing a new song." He was easily the hero of the evening. The Convention cheered him to the echo, and several times the speaker was compelled to pause amid the apause. Dr. Walls is a forceful speaker, and a deep reasoner. After collection and announcements by Dr. Gregg the benediction was pronounced, bringing to a close a session of the Convention that will ever be remembered by every one present.
McCLAIN—STEWART NUPTIALS.
One of the prettiest home weddings of this season was witnessed by a company of about 150 relatives and friends on Wednesday, June 26, at high noon, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Stewart, 99 Clalborne street, when Miss Fate Lou Stewart and Dr. T. E. McClain were united in marriage. Before a back ground of ferns, vines and flowers the ceremony was performed promptly at 12 o'clock. Rev. Fisher, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church in Chicago, came down to perform the ceremony, which he did in a very simple yet impressive manner.
The bridal party entered the drawing room through bridal gates wreathed in southern sililax and roses, which were opened by two little girls, Aileen Streator and Jenetta Bright who were beautifully dressed in white lingerie frocks and blue sashes; next came the maid of honor, and the bride's only attendant, Miss Lillian A. Bright. She was gowned in a blue batiste beautifully trimmed in lace and tucks, blue slippers, gloves, girdle and a blue hair braid hat were worn. She carried a large bouquet of pink carnations tied with blue ribbons; next came the little flower girl, Lillian Dixon, strewing flowers along the bride's pathway. She wore a pretty lingerie dress with white ribbons. Then came the bride leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr. Wm. Stewart, of Michigan, who gave her in marriage. The bride never appeared more beautiful than she did in her wedding robe. A charming picture of loveliness, in a French mouseline elaborately trimmed in real Val lace and numerous fine tucks, with a white pompadour satin girdle. A handmade milline hat, with ostrich plumes and jeweled pins completed the toilet. She carried a beautiful bouquet of bride's roses and ferns, tied with white satin ribbon. Her only ornaments were a diamond ring, the gift of the groom, and diamond earrings, the gift of her mother.
The groom with his best man, Mr. Eugene Page, entered from the hall and met the bride at the altar. Both wore Prince Alberts with gray trousers and gloves.
The bridal party formed a semi-circle around the altar which made a beautiful picture long to be remembered. After the ceremony all turned and faced the audience to receive congartulations.
Mrs. Jennie Ballentyne presided at the piano, playing the wedding march, also accompanying the two soloists. Dr. Mattie Coleman sang "Love me, and the world is mine" very sweetly. "Because God made you mine" was beautifully rendered by Miss Alberta K. Davis.
The receiving party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Stewart, Mr. and Mrs. John Cunningham, Misses Mattie Scales, Rebecca McCants and Lettie Black. The wedding register was kept by Miss Elizabeth Elliott. Frappe was dispensed to the guests by Hattie May Stewart and Pryor Williams.
The presents were many, rare, costly, valuable and too numerous to mention here.
Mr. and Mrs. McClain left on the 7:40 train for Denver, Colo., their future home, where the doctor has already established himself. The bride's going away dress was a blue taffeta, made guimpe with lingerie blouse, tan hat, belt, slippers and gloves. The out of town guests were Rev. and Dr. Coleman, of Clarksville; Miss Lettie Black, of Jefferson, and Rev. E. J. Fisher, of Chicago; Mr. William Stewart, of Michigan, who came down especially to attend the marriage; Dr. Edwards, of McMinnville; Dr. Reed, of Kentucky.
BAREHEADED COFFEE.
"Down in Arkansas," says Dan Hackley Winston, "I once visited an uncle who was preaching in a backwoods district in Desha County. It was a very poor charge, and he informed me that they paid his salary about twice a year. He boarded with one of his members, and on my visit I shared the accomodations of this unpretentious abode. I was used to this sort of thing, but met a surprise at the supper table. We had chicken, corn bread and black coffee. I saw no sugar and inferred that the coffee had already been sweetened. A sip from the tin cup changed my mind as well as the expression of my face.
"'A little sugar, please,' I said, turning to the hostess. Then seeing that she was puzzled, I took up the coffee cup.
"'Lord bless you!' said the husband, taking a long pull at his cup, 'us drinks it bareheaded. There's some sorghum ef you want to use it; we ain't got no sugar.'"
KELLY—WINFREY.
Little Rock, Ark., June 27.—the wedding of Miss Mabel Winfrey, of this city, and Mr. John H. Kelly, Jr., of Nashville, was solemnized at the First Congregational Church of Little Rock Wednesday evening. The general opinion is that it was one of the prettiest weddings ever witnessed among the people of the City of Roses. The church was beautifully decorated with cut flowers, potted plants, ferns and lilies, forming a beautiful background. The arch under which the happy couple stood was laden with lilies from the center of which hung a floral design in the shape of a bell. This made a picture long to be remembered. While the audience was waiting for the bridal party to enter Miss Carrie Booker rendered a very sweet selection. "Dearie."
To the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by Miss Stella E. Bush, the bridal party entered, led by the four ushers, Messrs. Frank A. Young, Oscar A. Miller, Berestful W. Jackson and Chester E. Bush. Next came the four bridesmaids, Misses Mattie A. Booker, Ethel M. Pitts, Mattie C. Winfrey and Maggie E. Kelly, of Columbia, Tenn., beautifully gowned in pink, green, blue and lavender organdies respectively, carrying carnations and ferns. The best man, Dr. Frank B. Adair, of Humphrey, Ark., followed by the matron of honor, Mrs. Lida Gilliane, of Ft. Smith, Ark., gowned in white chiffon with blue ribbons and carrying an armful of white carnations and ferns, entered. After these came the ring bearer, little Sara Booker dressed in white embroidered swiss. She was followed by two little flower girls, Olga Jordan and Hazel Lindsay, who were dressed in white accordion pleated organdies, carrying baskets filled with roses which they strewed in the bride's path. From the vestry room in the rear came Mr. John H. Kelly, Jr., who stood under the arch and awaited the coming of the bride, who entered leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr. Robert C. Winfrey. The bride's dress was a creation of white silk chiffon over liberty satin with panel front and yoke of imported silk embroidered chiffon, trimmed with frills of accordion pleated chiffon, white satin ribbon and chiffon rush. Her veil which extended to the end of her train, was caught up with orange blossoms. She carried an armful of bride's roses During the ceremony, which was per formed by Rev. Y. B. Sims, the pastor Miss Birdie Mae Boyd, of Oberlin, O. sang sweetly "O Promise Me."
The reception was at the bride's home. 2400 Adams street.
BOUND OVER.
Judge Baker of the City Court bound Anthony Malone over to the Criminal Court Monday morning, the charges against the man being highway robbery and obtaining goods under false pretenses. One Nathan Baston claims that while on the way home Saturday night a man whom he thinks is Malone, after following him quite a distance, asked what the hour was and snatched his watch and ran. The other charge was made by a man named Seifried, who says that Malone ordered a case of beer for Lillian Lee on false pretenses.
HOUSE—DISMUKES.
A quiet wedding took place last Thursday evening at 718 Sevier street, the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hadley, the contracting parties being Mr. Edward House and Miss Callie Dismukes. The family and a few friends witnessed the ceremony. Rev. Wm. Haynes, pastor of Sylvan Street Baptist Church, officiated.

Great Meeting Held In New Orleans, June 26 To July 1.
SECOND GREAT GATHERING OF BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE AND THEIR LEADERS TO DISCUSS HELPFUL THEMES AND PROGRESSIVE METHODS FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL AND OTHER WORK AMONG THE YOUNG PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
New Orleans, June 30.—The closing session of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress and Baptist Young People's Union Chautauqua was solemnized with a magnificent religious service at the First African Baptist Church, on Third street, between Franklin and Liberty to-night. Thus the second annual session of this worthy organization that has for its prime objects the creating of a more healthy sentiment among the Baptist churches in favor of the Sunday School and Young People's organizations as well as the study of the Bible from the International Sunday School Lesson standpoint has passed into history. The attendance, while not as large as expected when first advertised, was sufficiently large enough to encourage the promoters to already make preparations for next year's meeting. That much good has been derived from the meeting is already seen by scores of young Baptists in New Orleans who have identified themselves with the meeting daily. A summary of the work of the Congress will convince all that the progress as well as the work outlined was calculated to do much good.
The session proper opened Thursday morning at ten o'clock by Scripture reading led by Rev. John Marks. After invocation the welcome addresses were delivered. Rev. J. H. Fleming, of the First District Association, on behalf of the body; Rev. J. M. Young, D. D., on behalf of the First African Baptist Church, and Miss Angie F. Lewis on behalf of the churches and Sunday schools, while Rev. L. C. Simon, of Opelousas, La., who is an excellent speaker, gave a welcome on behalf of the State. The responses were but two; the first by Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, Assistant Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn., and Secretary of the Sunday School Congress, who thanked the committee, the church and the citizens for the hearty welcome. The next was by Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, D. D., of Nashville, Tenn., Secretary of the N. B. Y. P. U. Board and editor of the National Baptist Union. Dr. Isaac, as usual, proceeded to take charge of his audience, dwelling at length on each portion of the welcome addresses. He closed by paying the Negro women a deserved compliment for their purity their loyalty and their devotion to Christianity. The entire first day's session, after the welcome addresses and responses, was spent in discussion of such able topics as had been published from time to time in the National Baptist Union.
A charming feature was brought out in these sessions when it was shown with what unison and harmony the National Baptist Publishing Board, the Home Mission Board of the National Convention with the B. Y. P. U. Board, and all of the officers of the three were working for the uplift and benefit of the Negro in general and the Baptists in particular. Each day's session of the Congress was opened with fitting devotional service. The most charming part being the prayers and the singing. Nothing in the way of songs was offered during the entire session except the product of Negro brain and skill. The songs of the late Prof. William Rosborough, found in Celestial Showers, Nos. 1 and 2, and those in the National Anthem Series by Rosborough and J. H. Carter, with

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1907.
the songs in the Harp of Zion and B. Y. P. U. Hymnal by Sherwood, all of which are published by the National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn., were rendered almost like unto the "heavenly choir," as has often been pictured from many pulpits. Much credit is due to Profs. Thomas W. J. Tobias and John Pace, musical directors, who took charge of the music and directed the singing, as well as the good work done by Prof. James D. Ross, the organist. The whole choir, of thirty-five voices, was a credit to the city of New Orleans and the Congress. The leading members and ministers among the Baptists who could possibly get to New Orleans were here to do honor and service. Fully twenty-five states were represented. Conspicuous in the audience daily were many young ministers. The meeting adjourned with bright prospects for next year in whatever city is fortunate to capture such a gathering.

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE.
Miss Clara Hodgkins' eighteenth birthday occurred on last Saturday, June 29. She was treated to a surprise by a gay company of her friends while she was attending the houseparty at Miss Edwina Smith's. It was a complete surprise, as the young people met at the home of Miss Tennie Hughes and went in a body to Miss Smith's and had surrounded Miss Hodgkins before she knew what was happening.
The young people who surprised Miss Hodgkins were the four young ladies of Miss Smith's house-party and Misses Carrie Richardson, Tennille Hughes, Lottie Haygood, Nita Scott and Amanda Perkins. The young men were Mesars, Ira Scott, Chappelle, Ferguson and Taylor. Many laughable games were played and ices were served.

PIANO RECITAL
GREAT ODD FELLOWS MEETING.
The District Grand Lodge No. 6, of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows will hold its 25th annual session in the city, beginning August 13 and continuing three days. The opening session will be held at Greenwood Park and will be called to order at 10 o'clock a. m. on the above-named day. The district grand lodge of the state is a powerful organization and has a strong membership. There is an endowment department connected with the fraternity which has several thousand dollars of insurance in force. An enormous amount of insurance has been written during the present year. The G. U. O. of O. F., it might be interesting to state, differs from the I. O. of O. F. in that it extends over the entire world, while the latter is an American organization. There is a clause in the constitution of its endowment department which reads that no white man can become a member of the organization and receive benefits. Many prominent men are connected with the organization.
Mrs. M. T. Cole, widow of the late Henry Cole, who a number of years ago kept a popular restaurant on Main street, keeps in poor health. Mrs. Julia Corder, of East Nashville, had an operation performed by Drs. Townsend and Bandy on Monday. Mrs. Corder is doing nicely.
Mr. Horace W. Clark, of Twelfth avenue, South, is not in the best of health this week.

CLARKSVILLE NOTES.
Since Clarksville was first incorporated saloons have been countenanced and thrived. Last Saturday the last day of licensed traffic brought out a large crowd that would have rivalled circus days. Many, with heavy pocket-books and light-hearts saw the day ushered in, but noted its passing with lighter pocket-books, heavy hearts and heavier jugs and jags. For some time the city folks, rich and poor, lame and halt, have been laying in a supply for medicinal purposes only. Clarksville is now only dry on the surface, but to make it doubly so, drastic laws, not in conflict with the interstate commerce laws, as interpreted by the Supreme Court of the United States, will be passed.
On last Monday night, under favorable auspices, the commanding officers of the Twentieth Century Lodge, Knights of Pythias, elected at last regular meeting were installed. A large membership was present and tacit instructions were given the delegates to the Grand Lodge to command the said lodge to hold its next annual session at this place. The Institute for Colored Teachers of Middle Tennessee, which has been in session for the last three weeks, closed Friday afternoon. Several state certificates were presented to several teachers, while a few others were not so fortunate. A "Consolation party" by the Maple Leaf Club was given in honor of the visiting teachers Thursday night.
Mr. Ed. Johnson, of Rochester, N. Y., and Miss Eva Anderson, the salutatorian of this year's graduating class, were quietly married last Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Cobb came in Tuesday from LaGrange, Ky.
Mr. Jesse Gordon went to Belleville Ill., Monday. Mr. Pleasant Scruggs is in Owensboro Ky.
GOODLETTSVILLE NOTES.
Mr. Gillard Finch visited Nashville last Saturday.
Miss Luella Utley, of Nashville, is visiting relatives and friends of this place.
Miss Marie L. Thomas, an employee at the Southern College of Music, Nashville, is spending this week at home.
Mrs. Martha Hendricks visited her daughter, Mrs. Nettie Gee, of Edgefield Junction, last Sunday.
Prof. Bryant, of Nashville, delivered a very helpful address here at the C. M. E. Church on the evening of June 28.
Mr. Wm. Johnson was indisposed last week.
Master Hobart Cantrell, one of the most energetic boys of our community, takes much pride in the fact that he has started a bank account. Mrs. Martha Baker has returned from her trip to Kentucky. Plans are now well on foot for the grand church rally at Baker's Chapel C. M. E. Church on Sunday, July 14. Dr. Luckett, of Nashville, and other prominent ministers will be present and render service. Cupid has been moving effectively around here for some time. Consequently Mrs. Emma Joyner, an esteemed widow and patron of the Globe, has given her heart to Mr. Ed. Vester, an employee on the L. & N. Railroad; and the wedding takes place on the evening of the 25th inst. at Bakers Chapel C. M. E. Church.
SPRING HILL NOTES
Mrs. Lucy Sharber is improving. Mr. R. McKissack is sick. Mesdames H. Polk, A. McLemore and M. Byers are slightly indisposed. Miss Allie McLemore has returned home from Nashville where she has been attending school. Mrs. Sallie Blair and Mrs. Eliza McLemore entertained Dr. A. C. McKissack, of Nashville. Elegant dinners were served and the doctor greatly enjoyed the occasions. The music rendered by the Wesley choir Sunday under the management of Mrs. T. J. Peters was very pleasant. Miss Mayme Blair and Mr. A. Jenkins took the offering Sunday morning and Mr. Peters and Mr. Overton at night. A new meat market has been opened here near the post office and several new buildings are going up.
Mr. and Mrs. F. McLemore, of Mt. Zion, have moved back to their home. Mr. Ned Scruggs reports his business prospering. Several of our young men were fined this week for offensive misdemeanors. If our families would show such violators that there is a difference between them and law-abiding boys much good would be done. Miss Bertna McLemore will spend the summer in Nashville preparatory to entering college in the fall. Prof. Foster exhibited here Wednesday night. He has a high class of moving pictures.
HOWARD CHURCH.
The Howard Congregational Church is at this time very active. The services are well attended in spite of the fact that members are out of the city taking their vacation. Rev. G. W. Hemphill, a member of the church, preached last Sunday to an interested audience. He gave a splendid discourse upon "Civic Righteousness." The men's Club had an enthusiastic social gathering Monday night. Refreshments were served and Rev S. E. Griggs, the guest of the evening, spoke in an informal way of his observations during his northern lecture tour.
The change of the hour of the Sunday school from 9:30 to 12:25 is popular with the members. A large number of the older members remain to the Bible class study conducted by Dr. Bond. Church service begins at 11 a.m. as usual, but closes promptly at 12:15, and is therefore only one hour and a quarter long. After the intermission of ten minutes the Sunday school assembles and is in session only one hour, closing at 1:25, thus bringing the entire service of preaching and Sunday school within two hours and fifteen minutes.
The annual picnic will enjoy an outing at Greenwood Park Thursday, July 11. Pleasure wagons will leave the church at 8 o'clock on the morning of the 11th. Every member and all of the friends of the church are invited to go. Dr. Bond, the pastor, requests the presence at the church of every member on next Sunday morning, July 7, as he has a matter of importance to announce to the church.
EBENEZER NOTES.

CUT A MAN'S THROAT.
A few days ago Ralph Walton was engaged in a row with a man whose name could not be learned, when Thomas Davis, it is claimed, with but few words, took a hand in the affray, and cut Walton's throat, making a wound nearly six inches in length. Davis plead guilty in the City Court Monday on the charge of assault with intent to kill and was bound over to the Criminal Court by Judge Baker.

THE POLICE INVESTIGATION.
The official conduct of Chief of Police Curran and Sergeant Sadler have been investigated and, following the usual procedure of the Civil Service Commission, they have been exonerated. The trial was interesting, but the outcome was not surprising. Who, for instance, was so unsophisticated as to even harbor the faintest hope that Sergeant Sadler, the "Terror of Black Bottom," would be adjudged guilty of the charges preferred against him? Oh, no! Sadler has beaten too many Negroes to be convicted of infractions of the rules of the police department.
The evidence, though, brought out the fact that some of these "terrors" who are so fierce that their very presence produces order, these heroes in miniature, who know no other law while in "Black Bottom" other than the dictates of their own conscience, became so tame when they reached the portion of the city inhabited by the elite gamblers that they would eat out of the hands of men suspected of violating the law—so tame, in fact, that after eating they would walk off without paying their bills!
One other feature of the investigation tends to confirm the oft-repeated assertion that when an alleged criminal appears before the City Court and his prosecutor is a policeman, his chances for justice are slim. One officer in his evidence said that he would not believe another upon oath. We have heard that there is honesty among thieves; surely the same thing holds good among policemen.
VARDAMAN.
The report which received wide circulation, that Gov. James K. Vardaman had, to use the vernacular, "got religion." appears to be untrue. The young, long-haired individual, who before his advent into politics was an editor, is too thoroughly acquainted with the value of newspaper advertising to be converted at the first revival meeting he attended. He, like most other hardened sinners who have an eye to the main chance, prefers to be on the anxious seat where he can attract the attention and enlist the sympathy of the elect.
But, even if Vardaman should profess a hope in Christ would it change his attitude toward the Negro? We think not. The race question is his chief political asset in his fight for the United States senatorship and, knowing the better results to be achieved from appealing to prejudice rather than to reason, he would scarcely be guilty of throwing away his trump card in a game where he has for an opponent one of the
shrewdest men sent from Mississippi for a quarter of a century. The future life presents fewer attractions for Vardaman at this juncture than the senatorial toga.
If young Mr. Vardaman—not "Old Man Vardaman," as some of our contemporaries seem to think—does enter the fold and should practice the teachings of Christ sufficiently to tell the truth upon the hustings concerning the Negroes of Mississippi, it would be one of the greatest surprises of recent years. The conversion would be like that of Saul of Tarsus.
There have been so many followers of the lowly Jesus whose panaceas for solving the race problem is based upon their individual prejudices, instead of upon the teachings of the Master whom they profess to serve, that the long-haired individual from Mississippi will find himself in good religious company, no matter how far he may go in his denunciation of the Negro. Religion would not change Vardaman. He wants to be a senator.
STATE RIGHTS.
San Francisco's display of her petty jealousies or prejudices toward the Japanese will do more to arouse sentiment for a strong centralized government than all the pronunciamentos of Roosevelt and Root. As we have pointed out heretofore, the people of the country, as a whole, like the Japanese and welcome them to the confines of the United States. Yet, a few cities on coast controlled by labor unions would bring on complications that are liable to embroil the whole country in a war.
In the event that these complications which seem to be on the increase, should involve this country in war, what position would the Negro take? Would he forget that the Japanese would be fighting to break up the very thing against which we as a race have complained, take up his gun and defend "old glory?" Or, would he, naturally sympathizing with Japan, aid that country? Or would he remain neutral, simply tending to his own business as a private citizen?
If "state rights" and city rights involve this nation in a war with a firstclass foreign power such as Japan is, the race problem will take on an importance never known before in this country.
Georgia celebrated the inauguration of Gov. Hoke Smith, the one man more than any other, excepting only the editor of the Atlanta News, upon whom the responsibility for the Atlanta massacre will fall, by lynching a white man at Dalton. Gov. Smith in his inaugural address said that the supremacy of the law must be upheld and lynchers punished. Let's see if he will punish these rascals at Dalton.
We were only using or attempting to use sarcasm when we referred to the current reports that "respectable" white men were guilty of social crimes Any married man guilty of crimes of which some white men are accused in this city are beneath respect. Sheriff Johns should round up the whole layout and lock them up. There should be no favoriteism shown in enforcing the laws.
If only Southern born Negroes are eligible for positions as teachers in the colored schools, then why not apply the same rule to the white schools? Was Superintendent Webber born in the South? Does he understand the peculiar conditions here in the South? Let efficiency be hanged—we must have teachers born in the South! We want none of these Northern notions!
John Temple Graves has drifted from a monomaniac to a common lunatic. Roosevelt carry Georgia and Tennessee! Brownsville was a great hit with the South, but it will not balance the Booker Washington lunch. Perhaps, though, there is method in Graves' madness. He talks like an editor looking for a sinecure.

COMMUNICATIONS
Last Sunday just we three an no more drove out in the cool morning air and bright sunshine to spend the day in the woods. After the dust, noise, and dirt of the city, how fresh and green the grass and trees looked, and now inviting the shade. We passed by farms well cultivated, over rivers flowing to the sea, by hills raising their woody crests in imposing grandeur. It was indeed delightful. When we came to White's Creek we found all along its winding banks vehicles of outing parties taking advantage of this beautiful spot of nature. We left the woods, and coming out in the clearing, found a very large tree that seemed to oner shade and sneiter. we rested here, untied our horse, and turned him out to graze, and then gave ourselves up to the delight of the situation, and the enjoyment of the hour.
Down the slope at our feet the creek ran with a gentle, murmuring ripple, so delightful to the ear. Further away from us under a tree a man was feeding his cows and mules, and still further away under another large tree was a party of pleasure seekers—a wagon full of a merry crowd.
About noon the sky became dark, and a heavy gust of wind blew, and everything looked very threatening; but it blew over after a few drops of rain had fallen, and all was serene again. The bracing air soon made us feel like eating, and we soon had spread out on newspapers, of which we were well supplied, some nice dainties, suitable for such an occasion. After lunch we went to watch the fish, little minnows, and large fish swimming in the water. I gathered some pebbles as a remembrance of one of the happiest days I have spent. We went home in the cool of the evening, refreshed, light-hearted and full of the joy of a day spent near to the heart of nature.
One thing that struck me most was why is it that so few of our people take advantage of these quiet spots outside our busy, dusty city? Do not we, most of us who have to work for our daily bread, need recreation most of all? Do not we need to get out in the fresh air, and God's pure sunlight, and stretch our lungs, open our hearts and expand to the joys of nature?
JUDY WINKS.
DR. POLK ON NEGRO EDUCATION.
Dr. Wm. M. Polk, of New York, and dean of the medical faculty of Cornell University, delivered an address Sunday, June 23, at the semi-centennial exercises at the corner-stone of the University of the South, located at Sewanee, Tenn. The subject of the address was Education of the Negro.
Dr. Polk's address was but an impassioned rehash of the same old platitudes with reference to the Negro which have been trotted out so many times to do service before Southern audiences, to tickle their prejudices and gain their plaudits.
Dr. Polk, in his address, followed in the same old well-worn ruts made deep and sleek by the mental wheels of the vehicles used by his predecessors in hauling about their ideas, opinions and prejudices—Negro ware—for exhibition before Southern audiences. He did not utter a single new or original word, phrase or thought, that the public has not heard a dozen times over from Jeff Davis, of Arkansas; Vardaman and his side partner, Dickson, author of "The Black Wolf's Breed," of Mississippi; Preacher Penny, of Texas; Tom Dixon, of South Carolina; John Temple Graves, of Georgia, and a host of other ambitious but smaller luminaries. The speech of one is the speech of all.
But the purpose of this comment on Dr. Polk's address is to call attention to his downright poor reasoning. The address, like the water-monster inhabiting the Learnean marshes of Argolis, known in Grecian mythology as the Hydra—the monster with one body but many heads—so was Dr. Polk's address, it had as many inconsistencies as the fabled monster had heads. Let Dr. Polk speak. Read carefully and listen attentively as you follow him through the following rambling and inconsistent paragraphs:
"The truth is, these people are children, and there is no more to expect or fear from them than from children. Poured into this country in its almost primitive state, they are scattered through it in large bodies. Where the proportion of white to black was so small it needed but some spirit of aggression for them to rise

and seize their liberty. Is it likely that any other of the many tribes and races that have come in here since Columbus landed would have accepted such a condition? Again, when deprived of the franchise he tamely submitted. No race that will not give its life for its freedom, who will not venture it for its civil rights, is likely to stand before the competition of such a people as began and developed the habits and customs, the hopes and aspiration of the English speaking races. I venture to say that deep down in the more acute minds of this people, a glimmering if not a realization of this fact is taking form. The masses probably give it no special thought, at least not along the lines just outlined, but their better minds must be dwelling upon this, the problem of their race, and I do not question that one of the remedies therein suggested is amalgamation; and right here let it be understood that that remedy, of doubtful benefit to the black race and ruin to the white, is more threatening than any other outcome of the racial contact.
"The purest stream succumbs to unchecked contamination. Such results are not the work of a day, a year, or even years, but can be marked by decades and centuries, but they progress as surely as the rising and rising of the sun. Do not think this danger lies in the aggression of the blacks, for they rest upon the loose morality of the outlying elements of the white race. First and foremost, see to it that their women are left alone. If there is one fact more than another which has been beaten in upon our race in dealing with subject peoples, it is this dictum. "Therefore in this matter let the laws be as savage as those of Draco. We can scarcely go too far in devising means to stamp out the curse."
In the first sentence of the first paragraph Dr. Polk says that "these people are children and there is no more to expect or fear from them than from children;" but hold these last words in your mind and then read these uttered in the same paragraph: "The masses probably give it no special thought, at least not along the lines just outlined, but their better minds must be dwelling upon this, the problem of their race, and I do not question that one of the remedies therein suggested is amalgamation; and right here let it be understood that that remedy, of doubtful benefit to the black race and ruin to the white, is more threatening than any other outcome of this racial contact." These two declarative sentences diametrically opposite in meaning, yet uttered in reference to the same object—the Negro—show Dr. Polk up as not being a very logical reasoner, and that he depends upon his subject—the Negro—and the trick or manner of delivery and not on correct reasoning to catch his audience. Listen, he says in one breath that the Negro is no more to be feared than a child, and in the next he magnifies a great fear of him, pointing it out with great stress and emphasis and calling it—

"The purests tream," says Dr. Polk "succumbs to unchecked contamination." Hego es on and qualifies this by saying, "Do not think this danger lies in the aggression of the blacks, for they rest upon the loose morality of the outlying elements of the white race." By this jumble of words and sentences thrown as loosely and inconsistently together as a schoolboy, what did Dr. Polk mean for his audience to understand? Anything, or nothing? From the sentences last quoted, who is going to do the contaminating, the black or the white?

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1902
Dr. Polk also twits the Negro for not being "brave" enough to commit murder. Hear him! "Where the proportion of white to black was so small it needed but some spirit of aggression for them to rise and seize their liberty. Is it likely that any other of the many tribes and races that have come in here since Columbus landed would have accepted such a condition?" As we were peaceable and humane, as we are to-day, Dr. Polk throws it into our face as a badge of cowardice before a Southern audience that claps him to the echo, because we did not slaughter them when they were at our mercy. The inference is to be drawn that Dr. Polk would have killed from A to Z had he been as we were. One beautiful thing the Negro can never be accused of wantonly murdering the helpless and innocent, however much Dr. Polk may brand him as a coward. On the field of courage, facing an open enemy, he has always been as brave as Marshal Ney.
Dr. Polk's address was too much to gulp down without a passing notice of his rank sophistries.

COOKVILLE NOTES.
The institute that convened at Cookville, Tenn., this year is said to have been the largest and most interesting ever known. The faculty was composed of Profs. Baird, Ballod and Misses Queenie Arnold and Hettie Phillips. Great interest seems to have been manifested during the week. On Friday night an excellent programme was rendered, after which Prof. Richmond, Rev. Tucker and Profs. Baird and Ballod made some very interesting remarks. The institute was favored with a visit from the faculty of the white institute of that county. The Institute was conducted by Prof. Ballod. The teachers have not as yet been assigned schools. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Vally Stone is one of the neatest and prettiest in Cookville.
Some of the people of Cookville seem to be carried away with the Globe. Rev. Mr. Scott and Rev. Mr. Leayne seem to be doing good work at Cookville. Rev. Tucker and Rev. Blackmond are coming to the front at Algood.

We think this preparation will give entire satisfaction when used to arrest decay and falling out of the hair. If used as directed, it will tend to change dry, wiry, discolored hair to glossy and luxuriant tresses, and will keep the scalp clean and healthy. It is germicidal and antiseptic, and will relieve dandruff in a short time.

THE most sacred ordinance that can be obeyed by all churches
I can be observed by all churches is that known as the Lord's Supper or, in other words, Sacrament. We do not think it is in keeping with these sacred ordiances of the Lord's Supper in church now-a-days to try to administer it with out the proper vessels.
Every Church Ought to Have a First-Class Communion Set.
They can have them made out of the best grade of guardruple-plated table silverware if they desire them. The Church Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board has just received from their factory a new lot of this high-class wave. and would take pains in showing them to any one.
The Prices are Within Reach of All and Terms are Reasonable. No church ought to be willing to use glass dishes or the like for these ordinances when they can have the best grade of silver at moderate prices.

CHURCH SEATS AND CHURCH PEWS
New Styles Cheap and Endurable. Comfort and Beauty Combined.
UNTIL the large number of people who are never seen in churches can be assured that every church in this vicinity will have a set of seats that will be clean, comfortable and inviting, they will not be seen inside a church. Many churches will supply this long-felt want if they could do so at prices and on terms within their reach, thus increasing their attendance, drawing on the unusually large number of people who do not attend the churches, and which would evidently result in every service being crowded. A barrier has been in the way in the form of high prices, shoddy goods and no terms. This barrier has been removed by the Church Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board, which has presented the new style church seat (its own creation and its own make). These seats are constructed of the best grade of hardwood. They are built by the best skilled mechanics and have proven to be the most comfortable ever offered at the prices. The terms on which they can be purchased are so easy that any church, regardless of its financial condition, can secure a set of these by a small cash payment, have the seats installed and pay the remainder in monthly or quarterly payments to suit their own financial condition. How long, with such inviting inducements offered, will it be, before every church in and about Nashville will get a set of seats? References can be given to the Nashville churches by referring them to Rev. L. Kirkpatrick, pastor of the St. John Baptist Church, Pearl St.; Rev. J. L. Harding, pastor of the North Third Avenue Baptist Church, both of whom have seated with new style church seats; Rev. G. B. Taylor, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, corner Stevens and Deluge Sts.; Rev. Wm. Haynes, pastor of Sylvan Street Church, Shelby Avenue, who have installed the church pews.

Copeland played a beautiful wedding march as Mr. and Mrs. Blake entered the parlor, preceded by two bridesmaids, Mrs J. H. Adams and Miss Henri M. Campbell, sister of the bride. The guests registered one hundred and ten. The presents were very beautiful and numerous, there being two hundred and fifty-one pieces of china received by Mr. and Mrs. Blake.
SUNDAY AT GREENWOOD.
Between fifteen hundred and two thousand people flung their cares and duties to the wind and went out to Greenwood Park Sunday afternoon for pleasure and rest. The amusements were on in full blast and everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves, and while they doubtless realized, that they were in a place designed for pleasure there appeared to be a high regard for the Sabbath day. There were no visible signs of disorder and men who carried their families out had no occasion to regret the outing because it was not marred by such conduct as was said to have characterized an opening of a certain park which was to have been conducted by white men for Negroes. Greenwood is an ideal park; the location is fanciful and quickly charms the eye for the beautiful.
·Company G, N. G. S. T. (unattached). has stretched tents in the park and their quarters presented a scene quite familiar to those who remember the active service of the "colored boys in blue" during the War of the Rebellion. It is said that many new attractions will be added in the near future.
BRILLIANT RECEPTION.
The home of Dr. and Mrs. D. W. Dunn Seventeenth avenue, North, was the scene of a brilliant reception Saturday evening, June 29. the occasion being a farewell to Mrs. Annie Fishback, of Xenia, Ohio, who has been on a visit of several weeks at the Dunn residence. The house, which
is one of the most beautiful and spacious in the city, presented a scene of wonderful magnificence with its elaborate decorations of palms and cut flowers, bedecking the stairways, halls and mantels. The beautiful and stylish costumes worn by the ladies created much comment and admiration and enhanced largely the beauty of the decorations. Although the profusion of flowers throughout the house was such as to suit the taste of the most fastidious, the climax, in point of attractiveness was reached in the dining-room, where the sideboard, china-press and tables were laden with bountiful masses of magnolias, geraniums and foliage. Here the guests partook of a tempting menu prepared and served by Miss Elizabeth Moore, who easily takes first rank in the culinary art. The color-scheme of green and white, seen in all the decorations, was accentuated in the fancy dishes served. In the receiving party were Mrs. Dunn, Miss M. C. Grisham and Miss L. L. McKeever. The hours from 6 till 9 o'clock were most pleasantly spent in conversation, games, etc.

SPORTING NEWS.
Jast game between the standard Gl
ants and New Orleans, which reached
this office too late for publication in
our last issue,
In a fifteen-inning game at Athlet-
ic Park, the most exciting and inter-
esting game of ball ever played in
this city by colored clubs was put on
by the Standard Giants of this city
and Palambo Creoles of New Or-
leans. The game started off without
very much ginger, the boys from the
South thinking they had a bunch of
lemons which could be easily
squeezed. The innings were slow
up to the third, when both teams
got busy in the game, This being a
chance for the visitors, McFarlin was
called up to fill the gap, and sueceed-
ed in getting to the bag. W. Davis
followed and drove one to King, who
killed McFarlin on Second. Duncan
swatted the first over, and was
thrown out, but gave Davis a chance
to get to third. Being 9 good opening
for a score, Boone swung on one of
Sublett’s wet ones, getting two bases
and scoring Davis. _ B. Davis was
next given a chance and placed the
horsehide in Hurt’s hands, thus clos-
ing this session. .
Tn the fourth, things were perilous,
Hurt, Johnson and Watkins ot the
Giants hitting Stephenson opportt
ly. In this same round a score was
marked for Hurt.
In the eighth and ninth, with the
seore a tie, 5 to 3, both pitchers be-
gan to use their “spit and muscle
grease.” Nobody moving one inch
and everybody in the game.
In the tenth with the bases full and
two out Davis of the Creoles “eased”
on one of Sublett’s low ones, which
could not pass “Old” Sap, who mur-
dered Hill who was trying to get
home from third. This act avoided
what would have been a ten-inning
game, and a defeat for the Rock City
boys. :
‘The eyening’s shade begin to ap-
pear, and the fans, still full of enthu
siasm, had decided the game would
be called on account of darkness.
Fourteen innings and a half had
been played and the score was still a
tie. The home outfit, certain of
winning, sent Collins to the willow,
who ve ‘one of Stephenson's drops
out in deep, center,, out of Davis
reach, The ball was sent home in
time to prevent a score; but Lewis
allowed it to pass and Holden scored,
thus closing the great game. Man.
ager Pringles’ one-hand catching at
short was one of the features of the
game and of much help for the visit
ors. The score was as_ follows:
Standard Giants, 4; New Orleans, 3
Summary—Two-base hits, Watkins

Palambo’s Creoles, under manage-
ment of Shortstop Pringles,’ have
made a return date to the city. They
are bloodthirsty for the Standard
Giants, who made things quite pleas-
ant for them seme days ago. The
Creoles are recognized as being the
colored champions of the South, hav-
ing broken up the city league of New
Orleans and losing only four games
out of sixteen plaved this season. On
the 9th, 10th and 11th of July the great
battles will take place here at Ath-
letic Park.

It is hoped that Mogul Jordan will
be seen in the game. “Can't do with:

THE RING.
Well! well! a rare treat for lovers
of fistie bouts, Sam Fitzpatrick, man-
ager of Jack Johnson, and George
Considine, who is looking after Bob
Fitzsimmons’ interest, have matched
the above-named fighters to meet
Wednesday night, July 10th, at Phila-
delphia,
Most of the heavyweights have
been afraid to meet Johnson and in
order to dodge him have drawn the col-
or line, “Fitz” is never troubled by
such a thing as color. When asked
if he would fight Johnson, he said:
“No ‘color line’ for Bob. The sur-
est thing you know. All fighters look
alike to me, whether black or white.
Tl be there to give him the best I
have, I’ll try to keep him busy. May-
be he may do me. If he does, well
and good; but he will know bloody
well he has been at a fight before we
get through with it.”
Should Johnson get the decision
it is possible that the winners of the
Squires and Burns mill may seek to
get him. "

ROWDY NEGROTS HAVE STREET
FIGHT.
Monday night between ten and
eleven o'clock a gang of toughs,
which consisted of men and women,
engaged in a street fight on Gay
street, between Seventh. and Fighth
avenues, the principal participants
being a man snd a woman who
claimed to be man and wife. The
bout lasted fully half an hour and
hrought many people to their doors,
‘The woman pounded the man violent-
ly with fist and open hand, while he
proceeded to tear her clothing and
swat her occasionally with a cudgel.
A strong protest from the residents
finally resulted in putting a stop to
the fight. The woman hastily depart-
ed and the man gave an explanation
to the people who tried to shame him
for his conduct, when the information
was gained that the woman was his
legal wife and he was trying to make
her return to her home. He claimed
that she was living a “life of shame”
and he had a right to correct her.
Shortly after the man had departed
through an alley the woman returned
with a gang of men, and among the
number were many who claimed to be
her brothers, who declared thep had
surplus energy to exercise on a man
who was not a man and would hit a
woman.
