NASHVILLE GLOBE. NASHVILLE OFFERS OPPORTUNITY Vol. VII. EGG HUNT AT GREENWOOD HELD SATURDAY OF LAST WEEK. Army of Little Folks Swarm Park. Every Nook and Corner Searched by Their Peepers—Search Started at $:30—Parents Enjoy the Frolic of Little Tots—Back Water Cause of Postpone-ment The annual Easter Egg Hunt took place at Greenwood Park, Saturday, April 13th. The hunt had to be postponed on account of high water. It was very largely attended by the children of the city and their parents. It was an ideal day for the occasion. Promptly at 3:30 p. m. the children started their search for the eggs, and for several hours they kept up a continuous scramble. Every nook and corner was looked into and many hearts were made glad when two little eyes would spy an egg. The management had literally covered the park with eggs. The parents looked on with delight and urged the little ones in the search. Gold eggs were the most eagely sought, they were considered first prizes, and the children realized that all could not find first prize eggs, and that fact made the search more vigorous. The following is the list of donors for the entertainment of the little folks: Nashville Railway and Light Co. Golden egg, $5.00; Engine Co. No. 4, Silver egg, $2.00; Nashville Railway and Light Co.

M. E. CHURCH REVIEW—CONSENSUS OF OPINION OF THE WISE ACRES. Thompson's National News Bureau. Washington, D. C., April 13.—At the capital of the nation, where statesmen are made and unmade over night, sentiment is rapidly crystallizing with reference to the editorship of the A. M. E. Church Review, one of the most important places to be filled by the A. M. E. General Conference, which is to open in quadrennial session the first week in May at Kansas City, Mo. The man selected, by common consent, to succeed the learned Prof. H. T. Kealing, the present incumbent, is Dr. C. V. Roman, recognized the country over as a scholar of brilliant parts, an orator of convincing quality, a constructive Christian statesman, a logician and a debater, a writer of force and polish, and an invincible defender of the doctrines of the Methodist Church. DR. C. V. ROMAN, Candidate for Editor A. M. E. Review. At this time, when the race is growing in intellectual power and when servants are busily balancing science and religion in the scales of merciless investigation, the editorship of the general church organ—that has to do with the fundamental principles of the denomination—assumes proportions sourced less formidable than that of the Bishopic itself. It is essential, therefore, that the coming tower of Methodism be occupied by a skillful warrior, capable of testing the metal of the best thinkers of the age, and able to sustain his faith against all opposers. Such a man is Dr. C. V. Rerman, of Nushville, Penn., a specialist of fame in the arena of medicine, attaining high rank as a scholarly practitioner of the healing art. He belongs to the so-called class of "self-made man," who by their own might have come to be hailed as "the salt of the earth." SITUATION CHANGED. Through the efforts of the Housekeepers' Club a matter of much importance to the good people of the city has been looked into and action taken. For a long time church-goers were let off and on the cars at the intersection of Fourth avenue and Franklin street, directly in front of Sol Cohen's place which, as every one knows, is an eye sore. The Housekeepers appointed a committee to wait upon Mr. Warner, head of the Street Car Company, and asked that the cars cross Franklin street and stop on the south side (which is in keeping with the rule of the company). This was readily consented to, the order given, and now passengers get on and off the cars at the crossing directly in front of St. Paul Church. The club in particular and the people generally wish to publicly thank Mr. Warner for his prompt action in this matter. EIGHTEEN YEARS WITH ONE FIRM. Mr. J. A. Turner, the popular and energetic furniture salesman, bears a rare distinction in his line of business, in that he was for eighteen years with one firm doing business in this city. All of that time Mr. Turner was with the W. D. Hamilton Furniture Company. He is well known here and is highly respected by all the people. The old company has been dissolved and re-organized as the Sharp-Flantigan-Hamilton Furniture Company, but Mr. Turner's record was so commendable that the management of the new company felt that they could not get along without him, so he is continued with the new company in the same capacity he held with the old one.

NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY APRIL 19, 1912. A. M. E. GENERAL CONFERENCE WILL CONVENE IN KANSAS CITY MAY 5TH. Probably Six Bishops will be Elected —Men in Race for General Offices —Tennessee Solid for Dr. Jones —Other Important Matters to be Settled—Delegates to Pass Through Nashville. In two weeks from next Monday the African Methodists of the world will assemble in Kansas City, Mo., in the quadrennial session of the General Conference of that Church. From all accounts, it appears that many changes for the betterment of the connection will be enacted at this meeting. The discussions have been many, and in most cases the best men of the church have taken high ground in matters pertaining to its welfare. It is not known yet how many bishops will be elected, but it is the opinion of those in position to know best that at least five will be elected and probably six. It is thought that a few will be retired; among them will be Bishop H. M. Turner, of Atlanta; Bishop M. B. Salter, of Charleston, S. C.; Bishop B. T. Tanner was retired at the last meeting of the General Conference, which was held in Norfolk, Va. Since that sitting three have died, viz.: Bishop G. Y. Lampton of Mississippi; Bishop A. Grant, of Kansas, and Bishop G. W. Galns, of Georgia. With three deaths and a probable retirement of two would necessitate the election of five bishops to bring the number up to the requirements of the church as the work was laid out by the last General Conference. It has also been suggested by some that Bishop Heard, one of the African bishops, should be retired at this General Conference. If such is done it seems very probable that six will be elected. DR. J. C. CALDWELL, Who will be re-elected Secretary of Allen Endeavor League. There are quite a number of candidates before the connection. Prominent among them are Dr. J. H. Hurst, Financial Secretary of the church; Dr. J. M. Concer, one of the leading ministers of Arkansas; Dr. W. W. Beckett, Secretary of Missions; Dr. G. W. Allen, Editor of the Southern Christian Recorder; Dr. T. N. M. Smith, of Georgia; Dr. J. H. Jones, of Ohio; Dr. W. D. Campbell, of South Carolina; Dr. Ponton, of Mississippi, and many others. After the election of bishops comes the general officers. Prof. J. R. Hawkins, who has been Secretary of Education for sixteen years, is aspiring for the position of Financial Secretary. His strongest opponent seems to be Dr. J. R. Ransom, of Kansas, Dr. W. D. Johnson, of Georgia, is a strong candidate for Secretary of Missions. Prof. R. R. Wright and Rev. A. L. Gains will fight it out for editorship of the Christian Recorder. Dr. B. F. Watson does not seem to have any opposition for Secretary of Church Extension; although it is very likely that a strong candidate will be sprung after the delegates reach the grounds, as Dr. Watson has held this position for sixteen years, and is getting old, and considered by some unable to give to that department the aggressive service it demands. Tennessee is offering one of her sons in the person of Dr. J. A. Jones for the editorship of the Southern Christian Recorder. It seems to be a foregone conclusion that he will be elected on the first ballot. After scanning the field no candidate appears in the race who has shown any strength to this time, and Dr. Jones' clean life and excellent ability have drawn to him a strong following that seems to insure his election. NEW GAS COMPANY WINS ELECTION HELD MONDAY OF THIS WEEK. Opposition Put Forth Strenuous Fight. Less Than One-Third of Vote Cast- People Believed Proposition Would Carry—$100,000 Paid City—Over $2,000,000 Will Be Spent on Plant—Dollar Gas and Free Meters. By a majority of 1,287 the Nashville Gas & Heating Company won the election held in this city Monday granting them a forty-year franchise. The total vote cast was 5,116. Of this number 3,201 favored the grant of the franchise, and 1,914 registered against it. This is considered a great victory for the Gas & Heating Company, when it is taken into consideration that during the last stages of the campaign the opposition put up a strenuous fight. The total vote of Nashville, according to the last registration, is 17,963. So it is shown that less than one-third of the voters went to the polls. This is believed to be due to the fact that the election was conceded to the Gas & Heating Company, and quite a number felt that their vote would not be needed, and the Nashville Gas & Heating Company, under the terms of the ordinance passed Monday, is granted permission to take up the old Nashville Gas Plant and to furnish gas for forty years. Nashville is to receive one hundred thousand dollars before a move is made, and the company agrees to furnish gas at one dollar, and to pay the city five per cent. of its income, payment of which is to be made quarterly. The present rate for gas is $1.16 plus meter rent. The company will not charge any meter rent, which will be quite an item to consumers. Few wards of the city gave a majority against the ordinance; and while the voters were late turning out, the number was swelled greatly between the hours of five and seven. The Gas Franchise promoters are well pleased with the election and as a consequence have not waited ten days to pay their one hundred thousand dollars, but on Tuesday at 2:30 a check signed by the Cashier of the Company, tendered by Attorney Slattery, was paid to the city of Nashville. This company will spend something over two million dollars putting the plant in first-class condition. ATTENDING BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION IN LEBANON Mrs. Peter Gordon, of 1728 Jefferson street, and Miss Mayne Drake, of South Nashville, left the city Monday morning for Lebanon, Tenn., to be present at the 85th birthday celebration of Mrs. Sarah Drake, mother of Mrs. Gordon and grandmother of Miss Drake. Mr. Ira T. Bryant will be returned as Secretary of the Sunday-School Union. Mr. Bryant has made a record at the Sunday-School Union that is unparalleled in its history. This is true after it is taken into consideration that the institution was established by Bishop C. S. Smith, and that he did a great work and was the pioneer among Negroes to publish and sell Sunday-school supplies. It is also remembered that Dr. Chapelle served in that capacity eight years to the satisfaction of the church, but it was left to Mr. Bryant to organize and put the department on a self-sustaining footing without the aid of any contributions from the Connection. Furthermore he has outdistanced both of his predecessors in the amount of business done and will go up to the General Conference with every cent of indebtedness paid and a handsome balance on hand. There is not a man in the Connection who would have the courage to oppose this young man for re-election; for the dullest person would realize that it would mean a humiliating and crushing defeat. Mr. Bryant has succeeded so well with the department that it is believed by those best informed that the Connection at the meeting in Kansas City will combine all their printing interests under one management and that all their manufacturing will be done in Nashville and that their house in Philadelphia will be used as a distributing point and as the publishing office of the Christian Recorder, the oldest paper of the church. Prof. H. T. Keeling, who was editor of the A. M. E. Review, a quarterly magazine published by the Church, resigned the position to accept the presidency of Western University of Kansas. The most prominent candidate as his successor is Dr. C. V. Roman will be elected by a big marbled specialist. Dr. Roman is opposed by Rev. R. C. Ransom, of New York; but from all indications Dr. Roman will be elected by a big majority on the first ballot. Nashville will be the Mecca for all (Continued on Page 4.)

BRYANT, Who will be re-elected Secretary A M. E. Sunday-School Union. WILLIAMSON COUNTY INSTITUTE. Special to the Globe. The colored teachers of Williamson County met last Saturday at Clayborn institute as usual. A number of important subjects were discussed. Mr. J. T. Patton, the undertaker, was the guest of the Institute. He discussed the care of human bodies after death. He asked the Institute to join him in trying to teach the colored people of Williamson County how to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. The movement was encouraged by the teachers, and Mr. Patton is planning to visit the various schools and churches at an early date to encourage the thought. Another important subject under discussion was. How to get the young teacher interested in the annual institute. The following persons spoke on the subject: Prof. J. K. Hughes, Fred Jordan, Wm. Hughes, J. D. Steels, Miss Carrie Otey, Mesdames Henry Furgerson, Lula Cliffe and others. After the discussion the following program was arranged for the annual meeting beginning June 3, 1912: Orthography, Reading and Writing by Miss Mary Puryear. Grammar by Miss Effle M. Gosey.

TENNESSEE'S LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL No. 16 No.16 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE NEGRO BEING HELD AT TUSKEGEE 21 Foreign Countries Represented. Many Africans Interested in the Meeting—Discussions Touch Every Phase of Conditions In Africa —Dr. Washington's Introductory Address — A Distinguished African's View. Tuskegee Inst., Ala., April 17. Twenty-one foreign countries, or colonies of foreign countries, and thirty-six different missionary societies, representing sixteen different religio denominations, are represented ficially, or unofficially, at the International Conference on the Negro, which met here this morning. The local government of Jamaica and Barbados, British West Indies, have each three official representatives at the Conference for the purpose of studying the work of the Tuskegee Institute, and to follow the the deliberations of the Conference. Porto Rico, Bermuda, Nicaragua, British Guiana and Venezuela are also represented, also missionary organizations from Sweden, Germany and England. The little Negro Republic of Liberia is represented by Consul General to the United States, Ernest Lyon, Vice-President S. G. Harmon, former Secretary of State, F. E. R. Johnson, and a number of other persons, representing schools and other missionary enterprises in that country. Mr. Maurice S. Evans of London, England, represents the British African Society at the Conference; Mr. R. F. Hunter, Head of the Fourrah Bay College of Sierra Leone, is present in the interest of that colony. Among those who have announced their determination to be present are a number of noted Africans, among others Mr. Casely Hayford, a native Barrister-at-Law, of Sekondi, Gold Coast, Africa, author of a very interesting book, "Ethiopia Unbound," which is perhaps one of the first books ever written by a native African for the purpose of expressing the hopes and aspirations of an African nationality. In addition to the native Africans, the missionaries and representatives of some of the West Indian colonies, several distinguished sociologists are expected to be present; among others Prof. W. I. Thomas, of the University of Chicago, author of "Sex and Society." Dr. Washington's Introductory Address to the Conference. Dr. Washington's opening address, which was delivered at the morning session, contained this statement in regard to the purpose of the Conference and the circumstances under which it came to be summoned: "For some time past, I have received an increasing number of letters and inquiries every year, from persons outside the United States, who have wanted to learn something in regard to the work and methods of the Tuskegee Institute. These letters have come from many parts of the world; they have come from missionaries in Africa, Australia and India, from officials of the Colonial Governments in Europe, and from all sorts of persons who are interested directly or indirectly, in lifting up the man at the bottom in any part of the world. I recall at one time that I received a letter from a man in the South of Russia, who wanted to establish a hool for the Muzhiks, or Russian peasants. At another time, I received a letter from a missionary in the New Hebrides, who was engaged in teaching a type of black people there, of whom I had never before heard. In addition to these letters I have referred to, we have at Tuskegee, every year. I should say, from fifty to a hundred visitors, who come here for the express purpose of studying the work of the school. Sometimes we entertain visitors of that kind without knowing that we are doing so. At one time we found that we had with us as a student, the son of a wealthy Chinese merchant, who, without at first disclosing his purpose or identity, had come here as a student in order to get acquainted with the school from the inside, with a view to establishing a somewhat similar institution in his own country. Before, and since then, we have had students from India and Japan, who came here with a similar purpose in view. For a number of years past, we have had at Tuskegee from 100 to 125 students from different parts of the West Indies, Africa, and South America, who have been sent here, not merely to get an education in the trades, such as they do not have an opportunity to do at home, but likewise to get acquainted with the plans and methods of this school, in order (Continued on Page 3). --- A LITTLE DOWN ON A BIG BILL WHERRY FURNITURE COMPANY COMPLETE HOUSE FURNISHERS 305-307 A L BROADWAY PHONE M. 5 THE WORLD MOVES 50 DOES FELIX S.

When the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church meets in Kansas City, May 6, it will have before it the election of four, and possibly five, new bishops. There are four vacancies to be filled and it is not improbable that a new bishopric will be created at this conference. Already there are several candidates for the places to be filled. Among them is one who is well and most favorably known to the people of Columbus, among whom he has lived and worked for many years. He is 'Aabama's candidate, Rev. G. W. Allen, D. D., author and publisher of the Southern Christian Recorder. Dr. Allen was born and reared in Alabama, not far from Columbus, and with the exception of a few years of his life, spent in Bullock County, Ala., he has lived in this community. He has been a minister in his church for about thirty years and for many years was a teacher in the public schools of Alabama. For a long time he was principal of the colored schools of Girard. There is no member or the colored race in all this section of the country who is more highly esteemed, in whom the people who know him have greater confidence in every way than G. W. Allen. His efforts have always been for the betterment of his race, and his work has been done along lines producing the best and most lasting results. He has shown an earnest desire to accomplish in life, not so much for his individual benefit as for the benefit of others, and none more gladly and cordially commend him in his efforts than those white people who know him best. As editor of the Southern Christian Recorder, which is one of the organs of the church, established twenty-four years ago for the benefit of the southern wing of the church, Dr. Allen has labored earnestly and faithfully. He is the sixth editor of the paper, having been elected at Chicago in May, 1904, and soon will have served eight years in this capacity. The paper has made remarkable strides since he has had charge of it, its growth having been most gratifying. From a circulation of 1,800, at the time he assumed the management of it, it has increased until it now has upon its books approximately 7,000. He is the only one of the six men who has edited and published the paper who has never allowed it to miss an issue, and the Recorder now occupies the proud position of leader among the church papers. It has a large circulation in the north, to whom it carries a message of peace and good will as well as a fellowship every week. The A. M. E. Church of the South is almost a unit in requesting the election of Dr. Allen to the bishopric, and there is good reason why this should be so. It is explained in a few words. He has given satisfaction to his church as an editor, as well as a minister, and to his people gener- ally as teacher and earnest, sincere worker among them for their good and general well being. Dr. Allen has endeavored to lead his people, not to drive them; it has been his aim to induce them to follow the right path, but his methods have been those of peace rather than of strife; no friction between him and his people, and none between him and the whites among whom he has lived and worked, and who have always given him encouragement and aid in his undertakings whenever he has been in need of their good offices. His policy as an editor, as a minister and as a teacher has been to advocate those principles which make for the upbuilding of Christian character; the principles he has taught have been those of a purely religious nature, seeking not to invade the field of secularism, except in such way as any Christian would. Peace and harmony among the races have been his plea at all times, and white he has manifested the greatest possible interest in the welfare of his race, in the discussion of racial matters he has been fair and just in his arguments. Dr. Allen is nearly 56 years old, having been born August 10, 1856. His life has been so shaped as to avoid many of the trials and annoyances that come to many of both races. He has never figured in the courts as a defendant nor engaged in a lawsuit of any kind. He has conducted himself in such a way as to merit and receive the highest esteem of both races. Intellectually, morally and religiously he stands with the leaders of his race. He has a large number of friends among both races who would be glad to see him bishop of his church.—The Columbus Enquirer Sun. INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE. (Continued from Page 1) that they might be more helpful to their own people, either as teachers or in some other capacity, when they return home. I mention these facts here because they indicate to my mind, not so much an interest in any one particular institution or in one particular form of education, but rather a very widespread unrest in regard to educational matters in general, and at the same time a hope and faith that there are opportunities for broadening, improving and applying education to the actual needs of life, in ways which we are just beginning to realize the possibilities. This is the reason. I take it, that so many of you have come from distant parts of the world; from Europe, from Africa and the West Indies, to attend this Conference. You have come to Tuskegee, in other words, not so much because you believe we have discovered or invented any new and specific remedy for the problems you have encountered in the different lines of work in which you are engaged, but rather because you have heard that we have been trying experiments, and that we are earnestly seeking to add something to our knowledge of what education can practically do, particularly in the solution of the some of these new and difficult problems, which have sprung up in different parts of the world, as a result of the closer contacts of the white and colored races. A Distinguished African's View of This Meeting. One of the interesting portions of the program was the reading of the letters from the persons who were invited, or who heard in some way about the Conference, but were not able to come. Very few of these letters are of the ordinary formal sort. Many of them give interesting glimpses into the life of the native peoples and suggest something of the ideas and aspirations that are stirring in the back of the black man's brain, in many parts of the world. For example, one of these letters is from Dr. Edward Blyden, written shortly before he died, an exile from his home in Liberia, at Sierra Leone, West Africa. Dr. Blyden, who was born in the West Indies and emigrated to Liberia, was one of the most distinguished and learned Negroes in the world has yet produced. He was at different times President of the Liberian Republic, Ambassador to France, and head of the College of West Africa. He was a deep student of Arabic and had traveled far and wide among the Mohammedan Blacks. He had a peculiar theory to the effect that the Negro could never be a Christian because, as he pointed out, in all of the imagery of the Christian Church, the religious paintings, the statuary, and so forth. Christ and the angels are represented as white. There are no black angels, and for that reason, he said, the masses of the black people are not going to believe in the Christian Heaven. Dr. Blyden was included, in his latter years, to the creed of Islam, which is strong among the native African peoples. He favored Mohammedanism, because it forbids the use of images, pictures or symbols of any kind in connection with religion. To Dr. Blyden, the significance of this Conference seemed to be the fact that a Negro school should have become so widely known that without any one regarding it as strange or unusual, it was possible to invite people from all over the world to visit it. Dr. Blyden said: I am not surprised to get a letter from you on the important question to which you have been good enough to call my attention. In the first place, I may say, I am very proud that a member of the Negro race has risen to such a position, as to be able to summon to his home the whole world to discuss with him the Negro question. Secondly, because I have seen the invitation published in several English papers, and not one has either by implication or directly given any sign of objection to the right of Dr. Booker T. Washington, to summon the whole Christian world to meet together to deal with the question which concerns not only the Negro race in America, but the whole African Continent. NASHVILLE GLOBE.

FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1912. The New Library. The Negroes of Nashville have cause to rejoice in the fact that in the near future they will have a Library the equal of any in the South. It has been said on many occasions by the Globe that such a hope would become a reality some day, and since it is so near at hand we feel elated over the rapidity with which the same has been brought to pass. Much credit is due to Mayor Howse, Miss Johnson and Mr. Baskette for this Library; and also it must not be forgotten that Mr. B. J. Carr, that tireless advocate of the cause of his people, had a hand in bringing to pass this achievement. The question now is the matter of location, and it seems to be the consensus of opinion that it will be to the best interest of the people to locate the library in the central part of the city. We do not believe there will be any opposition from any quarter to such a location, as a Library is for all of the people and can serve them best if located centrally, where it can be reached by all at the least expense. That Nashville is the greatest city in this country is being evidenced on every hand, and the people of the country are being made to recognize this fact. Titanic Wreck. The wreck of the steamship Titanic is appalling. It is not yet known to the world just how horrifying the scene was, and it will not be known until the ships bearing the survivors reach land, and then the world will be told of this sad story. Ships have floundered at other times, but from all accounts, this seems to be the greatest disaster that has ever happened to a modern ship; more lives were lost and more property was destroyed. The Titanic was making her maiden trip and was the embodiment of the greatest genius of ship construction, being the largest afloat, and supposed to be almost indestructible. The passengers on this vessel felt secure. It is presumed that many of them had waited to take passage on this, the Queen ship of the Ocean. Doubtless they were revelling in the highest when this accident occurred, and entertained no thought whatever that in a few hours hundreds of them would be dashed into eternity. Man has been endowed with wonderful knowledge, but sometimes he becomes defiant and dares to do those things that he has been warned against. He allows his crave for fame to outbalance his judgment, and then it is that he stumbles and often great is his fall. The Titanic was a wonderful ship; it required master minds to plan its construction, but today this ship and nearly two thousand souls are somewhere in the fathomless sea all because the captain conceived the idea that the Titanic was all-powerful. Signs of Progress. Nashville has been visited this week by three very distinguished men; one was a representative of an old line insurance company which plans to begin business early in the summer; another represented the only gold and copper mining company in this country owned by Negroes, and the third was a drummer for one of the largest publishing houses in Chicago. These men are traveling through the South, putting before the leading Negroes of this section of the country their respective businesses. Negroes have several insurance companies that are doing a successful business, but this new company is taking a step further into the insurance business, and if the project is a success the Negroes of the country can boast of an old line life insurance company conducted on the same basis and under the same rules and regulations as all other insurance companies of a like class. The gentleman who represented the mining company hails from Seattle, Wash. The president of his company braved the ice and snow, and searched out in the wilds of Alaska the gold and copper mines. He discovered the mines and has succeeded in securing a grant from the Government and has organized a company with a capital of a million and a half dollars. The gentleman selling books is not what we usually term a book agent, but is the district representative of his company, and is traveling from town to town, and from city to city, selling books, appointing agents and supervising the work generally. It was pleasant indeed to be in the presence of these three men at the same time, each representing a different business and all strangers in the city. It is a healthy sign of progress and proves beyond contradiction that the Negro is "rising." If Jack Johnson allows himself to become too deeply infatuated with his white wife his scrap this Fourth of July may not turn out as favorably to him as that in 1910. A black champion with a black wife would be more preferable anyway. It seems that our African Methodist brethren just must fight. Well, the best result that can be hoped for under such conditions is a "dog-fall," but in most cases somebody loses. The Negro Board of Trade is getting right in the middle of the fight for a better Nashville. If the spirit is kept up the results will come. The Judge of the Criminal Court at Shelbyville is taking every precaution to protect Anderson, the accused murderer of two policemen. Of course he is profiting by past experience. Well, here we are in the afternoon of April, but wraps are not an abomination to us. SOUTH SIDE AND CUNNINGHAM NOTES The Easter programme at Sulphur Spring A. M. E. Church was nicely rendered. Rev.

Those from Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and probably North Carolina, will pass through Nashville and on the 3rd and 4th of May this city will be over-run with African Methodists, journeying to Kansas City. This resume would be incomplete without the mention of Dr. J. C. Caldwell, Secretary of the Christian Endeavor department. This department of the Church work has been dragging for twenty years. It seemed impossible for any man regardless of his special training to make any showing with the Endeavor Department. Dr. Caldwell promised the delegates at Norfolk that if elected he would in four years do more with this department than had been done in all of the previous years. How well he has succeeded can best be attested to by the record. His report will show that he has organized and has in active operation more Christian Endeavor Societies in four years than were organized by his predecessors in the many years they were the secretaries of the department. Dr. Caldwell has headquarters in the A. M. E. Publishing House of this city and the people of Nashville are deeply interested in his return. From every quarter comes the information that the delegates throughout the connection have settled on Dr. Caldwell for re-election. No one so far has appeared in opposition to him, but it is not believed that any one will announce. So it seems that Dr Caldwell will be re-elected by acclamation. Another general officer who has done a noble work is Dr. W. A. Lewis, Secretary of the Preachers' Alq Department. He also has headquarters in Nashville. So it can be seen that this city is rapidly becoming the headquarters of the A. M. E. Church. Dr. Lewis has put in four hard years' work and has handled the business of a combined department; for at Norfolk the General Conference united two organizations that were working to the same end. One was conducted by Dr. Lewis and the other by Dr. Heard, now Bishop. After Dr. Heard's election to the bishopric it was decided to merge his department into that of Dr. Lewis' under one secretary. So well was the record made by Dr. Lewis that he was first elected by the department he represented and then after the merger was again elected secretary of both. It is not believed that the opinion of the African Methodists has slackened in the least of this man and it seems a foregone conclusion that he will be re-elected with little, if any, opposition. Most of the delegates who pass through Nashville will stop over four or five hours to visit the Publishing plant here and other important points in the city. While here they will be chaperoned by Mr. Ira T. Bryant, Secretary of the Sunday-School Union. Dr. Caldwell, Dr. Lewis, and other general officers and the resident African Methodist pastors assisted by all of the citizens of the city. The people are alive to the benefit to be derived from entertaining these delegates and showing them the advantages Nashville offers to all enter prises. When the delegates leave the city it is planned to have one or more solid trains of African Methodist delegates made up here to go through solidly to Kansas City. Mr. Herman E. Perry, secretary of the Standard Life Insurance Company, of Atlanta, Ga., stopped over in the city Monday en route from Chicago. "Hearts of Men" is a play of the higher kind. It will draw a full house. Miss L. M. Dunnington, of Columbia, who has been in the city several months, has returned home. Mr. and Mrs. Maler Petterson spent Easter in Evansville, Ind. While there they were guests of Mr. and Mrs. McFarland. Mrs. Birdie King McFarland is the sinister of Mrs. Petterson. They reported having spent a very pleasant Easter.

Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, Assistant Secretary of the National' Baptist press, was the guest of the Baptists Publishing Board, and Corresponding Secretary of the Sunday-School Con of Clarksville last Sunday. He addressed the Sunday-school of Mt. Olive in the morning and the B. Y. P. U. of the same church at 7 p.m. at 11 a. m. he preached at Fifth Ward Church. at 2:30 he addressed the United Christian Club of St John Church, and preached at the same church at night. Rev Boyd was here in the interest of the Sunday-School Congress to be held in Tuskegee in June, and we believe succeeded in arousing much interest among our citizens. The distinguished visitor was entertained by Mrs. Homer Northerington while in the city. The Morning Glory Circle of Mt. Olive Baptist Church had a delightful entertainment last Thursday night at the homes of Mesdames Broadus, Minor, and Morton. It was styled "A Walk Between Courses." • The young people seemed to enjoy themselves immensely while the older people tried hard to be left behind. Services at Mt. Olive Sunday were good. The pastor, Rev. E. M. Seymour, preached ed morning and night, while the Sunday-school and B. Y. P. U. were great 'v honored to be addressed by Rev A. H. Boyd, of Nashville. Rev E. M Seymour spent Thursday in Nashville attending the meeting of the B. Y. P U. Board. He reports a delightful trip. Dr. B. F. Farrel, of Nashville, is conducting a revival for the Fifth Ward people with marked success. Great interest is being awakened and the attendance is good. Rev. H. A. Boyd preached at Fifth Ward Sunday morning from the text. "Simon, Simon, behold. Satan nath desired to have you that he might sift you as wheat." It was truly a great sermon. Clarksville is to be favored with a recital by Madam Anita Patti Brown who has just returned from the West Indies. She comes to the city under the auspices of the Crescent Circle of Fifth Ward Church, Monday night. April 22nd.

He took for his theme, "Dorcas," the noted character of the Bible. Rev. E. M. Sevour responded to the address. The Morning Glory Circle of Mt. Olive and the Crescent Circle of Fifth Ward, in response to the call, contributed the neat little sum of $12.36, for which the club is very grateful. This club has been instrumental in doing many good works in the church, among which the repairing of the walls, lighting the church, fixing the doors, etc. The Carnation Circ'e was delightfully entertained at the residence of Mrs. Eva Anderson last Thursday afternoon.

The stalwart Republicans, followers of President Taft, led by G. H. Hoosier, and the Independents, followers of former President Roosevelt, led by Nace Dixon, have each enlisted more than one hundred who declare that there side shall win. The interest is spreading beyond the church lines and colored people in general are living up with the stalwart Republicans and the Independents. In state politics Gov. Hooper is represented by Mrs. D. A. Graham, and last Sunday Mr. S. A. Dabney came against her, representing M. R. Paterson on the Independent ticket "us the fight grows warmer every day. Personal.

In the absence of the chairman, Mr. A. W. Sanders called the meeting to order. Mr. Henry Dinwiddie was elected temporary chairman and Prof. A. M. Lyle secretary. County Chairman W. D. Howser appeared and addressed the meeting, explaining that it seemed best for the sake of harmony for the whites would meet e'where. It was and as the colored Republicans were largely in the majority, and had already organized the convention, they should go straight through, and the white would meet elsewhere. It was agreed that the delegation to the state convention should be equally divided between the whites and the colored, and seemed in favor of doing everything for the sake of harmony. The following persons were chosen delegates to the state convention: A. W. Saunders, D. A. Cowherd, J. G. Johnson, S. W. Walker, Wm. Keeeser; alternates: C. H. Barker, Ira Farrar, A. M. Lyle, R. Metcalfe, R. H. Davie. The whites will elect five delegates also. the executive committee elected were all colored and are as follows: Ben Ramey, Chas. Barker, A. W. Saunders, A. M.

Among the events of South Nashville Sunday was the birthday party of little Cordella Adelalea Floyd, the four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Henry Floyd, of 82F Fairmont street. Their cozy little home was made bright and shining for the occasion. At four o'clock promptly the little guests began to arrive and soon the home was made to ring with the happy and merry little voices and the yard looked like a pretty white butterfly garden of the neatly dressed children darting here and there. In the dining-room a long table was prepared, in the center of which stood the birthday cake with four little candles which were lighted as the little ones filed in around the table. The fragrant odor of lilies of the spring shed their perfume over the festive board and the happy faces of the little ones were a sight to gladden any heart. Soon the birthday cake representing the four shining years in the life of the little hostess vanished; ice cream, candies and fruit followed the same, which the little ones seemed to enjoy most. Many useful and pretty presents were received. Among the guests were the following children: Misses Corinne Buchanan, Willie Mai Andrew, Hazel Alexine Andrews, Ethel Lee Andrews, Florence Winstead, Dora Buford, Alberta Carter, Ethem Burks, Pansy Bains, Masters W. M. Buford, Pursifold Barley, William T. Ensley, Robert Lee Bryant and Adrian Brown. W. E. P. CLUB. Mr. Manuel Gibbs entertained the W. E. P.

The ATTRACTIONS Are The Best That Money Can Procure Mrs. Bishop Entertains Mrs. Bishop Entertains. Mrs. Etta M. Bishop, of 913 Locklayer street, entertained on last Wednesday evening, at her residence, relatives from Lewishburg, Tenn., who were here, attending the Colored Teachers' Association. An excellent four-course dinner was elaborately served. The persons visiting were: FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH "Wrecked upon the High Seas," will be the subject of Rev. W. S. Ellington's discourse Sunday morning. The choir will render music appropriate to the theme of the sermon. REV. COMFORT IN CITY Rev. S. J. Comfort, of Boston, Mass., spent several days in the city en route from points in the South. Rev. Comfort is a man of wide experience and broad views and came South for the purpose of further confirming and approving his views. He filled the pulpit of Mt. Olive Baptist Church Sunday morning, and preached a masterful sermon. On Sunday night he occupied the pulpit of the GREAT REVIVAL AT ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. The revival that is being conducted at St. John A. M. E. Church is meeting with signal success, Rev. S. L. Howard, the pastor, assisted by the officers and members, organized the church and made a systematic campaign of the city north of Broadway. A house to house visitation was conducted as best could be with the weather so disagreeable, and the people have been stirred as never before. It is reported that quite a number have professed a knowledge of saving faith in Christ while at their at their dalyv toil, and that these have consigned others who have never attended the meeting and they have been converted at their work. Dr. Howard has been assisted by Mrs. A. L. T. Waytes, that gifted, scholarly evangelist, of Boston, Mass. Miss Waytes has been spending a portion of a winter vacation here and has spoken to thousands of Nashville people. It is not known how long the meeting will continue. The pastor was heard to remark one evening during the week that as long as the unsaved presented themselves for instruction the meeting would continue. GREAT OUTPOURING OF CHILDREN. That the churches of the city are going to see to it that not a single child in their Sunday-school is left out, next Sunday afternoon when the Sunday-School Union and Cantata is to be held at the Auditorium, is plainly evident in the Baptist Minister's Conference Monday morning. The plan is that each church and Sunday-school make a sufficient silver offering at 10 cents per scholar to carry their entire enrollment. It was stated in the Conference by more than one of the ministers present that this would be of the greatest assistance to the Sunday-school work if this plan was carried out, taking the children and providing those who are unable to make a silver offering with tickets. That this would work well was the consensus of opinion when the meeting adjourned. Several parties had disposed of quite a number of tickets Sunday, and Monday morning there was quite a demand on the officials of the Sunday-School Union for more tickets. The Nashville Sunday-schools will march to the Auditorium in the following order: Pleasant Green, Mt. Zion, Fifth Avenue, Mt. Olive, First Baptist and Spruce Street. The South Nashville churches are Kayne Avenue New Hope, Second Baptist, Mt. Glead, Foster's Chapel and others which will do likewise, while those of East Nashville will bring their entire enrollment. It is already an assured fact that more than 2,000 children will be provided with tickets for the afternoon's entertainment at the Auditorium. The program of the Union Chorus and Cantata at the Ryman Auditorium begins at 2:30. Do not be late. CONGRESS SUBJECTS FOR 1912. Select the Subject that you want to Write upon for the Tuskegee Meeting of the Sunday-School Conference Congress. As has been the custom, the secretary of the Sunday-School Congress has announced that the special committee who has charge of the selecting of subjects for each year's Congress, has named this year only ten subjects. This is the smallest number of subjects ever selected for any of the previous Congresses, but it was brought about, says the secretary, on account of the desire to devote more time to exhausting the important subjects before the meeting each year. He stated that two subjects would be discussed each day, hence only ten would be required for the five days. 1. The Responsibilities and Possibilities of the Sunday-School as a Spiritual Organization. 2. The Specific Requirements of the Primary Class. 3.

Panama and Costa Rica 6 and, by the way, uncer tne ey the front end of the building extends down the mountain and is setting on posts between seven and eight feet high. It is an easy matter to walk under the building, while the rear end is setting close to the ground, where the foot of the mountain had to be excavated so that this building could find a Jevel. We examined the mechanical con- struction and found that this building was puilt according to the goverment regulation, well braced to stand the storms, and well put up out of new California lumber. The electric wiring was done by government ex- perts, and the building is well lighted. The seats, however, are made of common pine poards, as is the custom of the country. The pulpit = pee furniture, organ, etc., resented a appearance. y ‘The choir was on hand and furnished music. We spoke briefly from the same subject of the Sunday-school lesson. The members were very anxious to have a con- ference with us. In fact, they begged us to stay over and hold a conference with them or to come back one night during the week. We did not make a very clear ex- planation to them, but gave them to under- stand that we were not in a position then to give out any future information, know- ing that the lawsuit concerning this prop- erty would be tried in the Supreme Court on Monday, we did not care to make any explanation particularly. We, therefore, gave out the following explanation to those who made special inquiry, when asked if the National Baptist Home Mission Board was going: to fold its tents and leave the Zone: “The National Baptist Convention has a banner of red, white and blue, and upon this banner is inscribed a triple decla- ration in the wording ‘ONE LORD, ONE FAITH and ONE BAPTISM.’” Since the organization of the National Baptist Convention, it has planted this ban- ner in many territories, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Pacific to the ‘Atlantic, on both sides of the ocean. It may be said that the banner poles some- times are made of wood and may rot, and the storms and trials may blow down the banner, but the National Baptist Conven- tion has never been known to plant its ban- ner and then voluntarily pull it down. If it pulls down its banner in the Zone, it will be something heretofore unknown in Bap- tist history. We hope the members will be prepared to read this between the lines. ‘We begged to be excused from saying more. This brought broad smiles to the thinking members. These people are a made-up mixture of Jamaicans and Barbadians. They do not give motion to their feeling like the Ne- groes of the States, as they have been dif- ferently trained. When we had to hasten away to catch the train, great numbers of them rushed to us and shook hands, and a number of the officers accompanied us on the train to Panama City. Arriving in Panama City at 2:30, we found dinner and ‘a number of the officers there awaiting us. Mr. Schott, a German Baptist and tourist, a retired farmer of Iowa and a member of the American Bible Society, whom we met on the steamship, had already arrived and had attended the Sunday-school and spoken for the young people. He expressed him- self as delighted with the music and with the ability of the young people to handle the Seriptures. He remained over and was a guest at dinner. After dinner and the afternoon service, he slipped a little collec- tion in the hands of Rev. and Mrs. Thour- bourne, which he desired would not be men- tioned, and bade good-bye to the congrega- tion. In the afternoon we spoke for the young people especially. They seemed to be de- lighted with the services, and the singing was above the average. Right here I want to say one thing Rev. Thourbourne has done what I wish the churches in the States would do, and that is, he has con- gregational singing. He has hymn book in the seats or in the seat racks, and the people are trained that when a hymn is an- nounced, that every two members in the congregation shall share a hymn book and that everybody shall sing. And my, my! such splendid’ singing. They are trained singers; they know how to sing; they sing with the spirit and with the understanding and they emphasize every word in the sing- ing. Another favorable thing is that any and all of the members can pray in public. So they have a live service, whether they have a preacher or not. All were well up on the Scriptures. At the close of the service, we had tea, four o'clock tea, they call it, with the offi cers of the First Baptist Church of Pana- ma, the First Baptist Church of Pedro Miguel and the First Baptist Church of Em- pire. This was the first private council NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1912. BY DR. R. H. BOYD, D. D., LL.D. CHAPTER IV. livers, and that there were no poor people among us; that thé aaa had to ask for five or ten thousand and. it would be raised at any meeting, After tea we shook hands with the brethren, and the brethren from Empire and Pedro Mi- guel took the od evening or night train, and we were for the night services. At night we preached. The house was crowded as long as Seaey room could be afforded, and a number people were turned away from the door. As many as could crowd in the gallery of the home peeped in at the windows, and a great crowd stood out at the front door and looked in. We are indeed sorry that the church is so small, but there is hope. We have a third lot that was deeded to us for schoot purposes, and it will be an easy matter to rebuild and have the church covapy both lots and build a church large enough to ac- commodate the growing congregation. We think that ina short time the Panama church will become self-supporting, that is, when they are trained to know their re- sponsibilities. ‘After preaching services a committee of ladies called over at the preacher’s home, which joins the church, and they, too, de- manded to-know something concerning the future of the work. These were agreea- ble sisters, very intelligent and well-in- formed. We were surprised to find that these sisters had copies of our reports and minutes of the National Baptist Conven- tion and back copies of the Union and Union- Review. They asked us many questions concerning the recommendation of the president, the vote of the Convention and. many other things that surprised us. How well they had been informed and kept in- formed concerning the work of the states! ‘We asked the sisters to excuse us from making a full explanation, but we felt called upon to give them enough explana- tion to make them know that the National Baptist Convention was firm in its deter- mination to keep its banner floating in Cen- tral America. With this explanation, each of the sisters gave us a warm handshake and said, “God be with you till we meet again.” When this little conference was over, we threw ourselves out full length on that big iron bed in the front room of the preacher’s home, and we did not hold the watch, but Brother Thourbourne, who was compelled to be up a little late attending to some do- mestic affairs, came to us and shook us and told us that we were disturbing the com- munity lying on our back the way we were snoring. He, Mrs. Thourbourne and Mrs. Carrington stated that we were snoring in less than two and a half minutes after the esiers had said spoanicney but we were sleeping a good sleep and felt happy, and felt that the Lord was truly in that land, Monday morning, February 20th, we forgot to awake at our usual time. When we awoke at half past six, we found our coffee waiting us, and we made a hasty dash for the shower bath room, and here we took on another shower bath, dressed ourselyes and had our coffee. About this time, it was our pleasure for the first time to meet Mr. W. H. Carrington, LL. B., one of the leading attorneys of the Zone. He called early to have a little interview con- cerning the lawsuit, and remained over and took breakfast, he and Mr. V. G. Desuge, LL. B., attorney-at-law. both of whom had volunteered to take care of our interests pending before the Chief Justice of the Supreme ‘Court. We ‘furnished him with such documents concerning the work as we could show up, giving a full history of the National Baptist Convention and its work, making both of them understand as well as we could the organization of the National Baptist Convention and the Southern Bap- tist Convention. By this time it was fully ten o'clock, and Mr. Carrington informed us that it was time for court to open, We called a carriage and had him rushed to the court building at Ancon, which was about eight blocks away. When we reached the court room, we found the court in session, Hon. H, A. Gudger, Chief Justice, presid: ing. It was the last day of the term, and the motion docket was before his Honor. The third motion was the plea of J. J. Pin- nock and others versus R. H, Thourbourne and others concerning the Pedro ee National Baptist church property. e lawyers split halves over points of law for a while and discussed many legal ene Finally, Chief Justice Gudger said that he would not confine himself to. strict lega technicalities in this case, that he would set it as the last case on the docket for the day, and that he would lay aside legal tech. nicalities and would hear the ease “denovo.’ tHe ordered the chief marshal to see to i that all the officers and parties concerne¢ J. SUDO WUE OC Sa Se a er or lay preacher or eatechiser and would live in the preacher’s rooms at Pedro Mi- guel, and that he (the young white man) would have the oversight of both, Rev. Pinnock preaching alternately in his absence while he was preaching at the other two churches; that the Empire Church would be looked after by Mr. Whitt, of Colon, who would in the same way alternate from Colon and possibly one other station and Empire, and that a colored man would be appointed to assist him; that there would be no more colored preachers regularly or- dained on the Isthmus. Of course, we laughed heartily at this, and did not hide the fact from ce brethren that such a pro- position had been made to our Board, or was expected to be made to our Board, and that the matter had been left in the hands of the Secretary to make such arrange ments that the Secretary of the Home Mis- sion Board of the Southern Baptist Con- vention thought best for the good of the work. We then got a free and full expres- sion from the brethren, all of which we desire not to quote in public print. We told the brethren to talk freely with us— tell us everything. We then asked Rev. and Mrs. Thourbourne to invite Mrs. Car- rington, of Colon, to take an evening’s walk down to the depot or some other place of amusement, and leave the Secretary and officers to themselves, which they readily accepted, and we had a free, heart to heart talk with the brethren of the three churches and found out many things that are not lawful to utter. However, we found that both Rev, and Mrs. Thourbourne stood high with the members of the church, and with the public in general. We found out that the day we attempted to turn over the property to a white pastor, we would lose our membership and our hold upon the people. We assured the brethren that we had no intention of turning over this work to any body until we had given them an opportunity to express their wishes. We went over the whole ground, and showed them that there was the most friendly and fraternal relation between ourselves and the Southern Baptists, and that they had greatly helped us in our missionary work, and that we knew each member of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Bap- tist Convention was deeply interested in all of our work, that they would by no means take advantage of us knowingly, and that if anything was going wrong among the workers or employees of the Southern Bap- tist Convention on the Zone, we conscien- tiously believed that it was all hidden from Dr. Gray, the secretary, and from the mem- bers of the Board. We said to them that when the lawsuit was over, whether we won or lost, we would return home and have a full and free conference with Dr. Gray and the members of the Board and with our Board, and that we felt like assuring them that no man would be left in the Zone who was not a desirable character with the brethren and sisters of the Zone; that while the property was deeded to and in the pos- session of the National Baptist Home Mis- sion Board, yet this property was for their benefit, and that we were praying for the day when they would become self-support- ing and self-controlling, and as fast as they could become self-supporting, we would turn over the property to a board of churth officers. This pleased the brethren great- ly. We said to them further that we felt sure that in case such an arrangement was made to have all the work done under one Board, it would be done according to the wishes of the people; that if they desired colored Baptist ministers, and would make application direct to either of the Boards, this would be done. We assured them that the Baptists of the South believe that Ne- groes can best preach the gospel to Ne- groes, and that they believe in helping Ne- groes to help themselves. ‘The brethren then asked how it was that Rev. Thourbourne could not act as an as- sistant and associate chaplain of the United States government just as the white preachers had done, so that he might have time to visit the hospitals and other asy- lums. I told them that we had made no application as yet to the government, but if there was no change made in the work, it was highly probable that such an appli- cation would be made and that one or more assistants would be sent to assist Rev. Thor- bourne, and allow him to take the place of a superintendent of the work, traveling over: all parts of the Zone, each week or remaining in the preacher’s home at Pana- ma City, the headquarters. We then as- sured the brethren that our Board was very, very poor. That the average wages among our. men and women in the Statet would not be equal to the wages on_ the Zone, all things. being taken into considera: CEL HE AES: EL PA fe SOMITE PAO EAE” AF BI ee eee eee ae en hae Catholic by profession and a Negro by birth; he was a Catholic because he wanted to be; he was a Negro because God made him such, He took me by the hand and, a “Mr. Boyd, your case shall be well de- fended.

I am going to push it to the last limit and ask no favors.” This black Negro talked with so much as- surance that it got our fighting eee rumpled up and we felt like going into the fight. We returned to the court-room. After two other motioned cases were de- cided, at 11:30, Chief. Justice Gudger threw himself back in his big arm chair, placed his feet-upon the judge stand, locked his hands back of his head an@ said, “Now, brethren, you remember you Baptists have disagreed, and the court is going to pull your skeletons out of the closet. Mr. Marshal, bring in all the witnesses, swear them and put them under the rule, and we will spend the day in looking into Baptist quarrels.” When the witnesses were sworn, Mr. Thourbourne first took the stand to give di- rect ‘testimony. He told of his place of education, when and by whom he was or- dained, how he was sent to Panama Zone, how he had been supported for the last five years by the Home Mission Board, how he had looked after and located the property and the payments that had been made from time to time, the helpers that he had em- ployed, what he had paid them and the dif- ferent visits he had made to the States, when, how and whom he had married, and gave a general account of his work in a straight-forward manner. He also told how he had met Mr. Pinnock, a stranger on the Zone, introducing himself to be a Baptist minister from Jamaica; how that he represented himself as having been in the employment of the English Baptists twenty-four years in South Africa, Be- lieving that he was the man for the place, he employed him. First, as a school-teach- er and afterwards as a lay preacher, prom- ising that as soon as the Board could | have another regular ordained minister, he would recommend him. He showed how that he had recommended Mr. Pinnock to the Board, and the Board had asked that Rev. Mr, Pinnock would present his ere- dentials of ordination. Mr. Pinnock said he had none. He then asked Mr. Pinnock to give the names of the Presbytery that ordained him, which he failed to do, and that he received word from the Board that he could not employ Mr. Pinnock as a regu- lar minister until he had been ordained; that during his absence, without his knowl- edge or consent, Mr. Pinnock had been ad- vised by some one and had undertaken to administer ithe ordinance of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and had married one or two couples. Finding that Mr. Pinnock was violating the orders of the Board, he at once dismissed him. When he had dis- missed him, Mr. Pinnock refused to give up the house, locked the church, took the money that was in the treasure, took the ergan and all the books and refused to give them up. He then presented a resolution that Mr, Pinnock claimed was passed by the church, but was signed only by J. J. Pinnock in typewriting. These resolu- tions set forth that the church had decided to go over to the Southern Baptist Conven- tion. Mr. Thourbourne showed then that he took legal steps and had the officers to open up the church and clear out Mr. Pin- nock. Mr, Carrington thought that he had made a complete case without introducing anoth- er witness in the direct testimony. Dr. Te- rant then put on the stand Mr, Pinnock, who came forward and gave testimony that he had been in. the employment of. Mr. Thourbourne for two years; that he felt that he had the same right, as a colored man, to perform the ordinances as Mr. Thour- bourne had; that he had written to the Board, and the Board at Nashville or the secretary had asked questions that he did not think concerned them. He said that he had worked twenty-four years in Africa under the English Board and no such ques- tions had been asked him, and that he saw an opportunity to better his condition and, he felt, to better the condition of the church. He, therefore, called a few of the officers together and they had agreed to turn over the property to the Southern Baptists who NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1912.
