NASHVILLE OFFERSS OPPORTUNITY NASHVILLE GLOBE.
PURCHASED BY NASHVILLE NEGROES.
Party Visits Mammoth Factory.
Manager Shows Them Through the Plant—Many Things of Interest Seen—Home Product Considered by Negroes the Best—Company Officials Courteous—Many Negroes Given Employment.
Early Monday morning a number of colored gentlemen, Rev. Preston Taylor, Dr. E. B. Jefferson, Dr. J. T. Wilson, Rev. R. H. Boyd and a Globe reporter, called at the Marathon Motor or Works of this city. On arriving at the factory, they were met by Mr. John A. Wilsdorf, manager of the sales department, who met these gentlemen very politely. After explaining in detail the Marathon motor car, and assuring each of the gentlemen that these fine cars are manufactured in Nashville, he proceeded to carry them through each department, starting at the ground floor and carrying them through the machine shops. The Globe reporter took note and found that more than a hundred lathes and other machines were in motion. The manager then carried them to the aluminum foundry. The reporter could not take notes clearly on account of curiosity, for it was the first time he had ever been into a foundry where aluminum was melted. From the aluminum foundry he carried them to the iron foundry and from the iron foundry to the steel blacksmith shop. After seeing the covers, or jackets, molded for the Marathon the party was carried to see the molding of the cylin-

ders and from there to the steel works where the axles, springs and all the works were being performed. From here they went to where cars are fitted up and tested, and from there into the factory where trucks are made and wheels built. The second floor, where the cars were being put together, was next visited.
which he is the present secretary. The entire publishing plant at that time consisted of a table for desk and an old-fashioned split-bottom chair, a writing tab'et and a lead pencil. This was in the fall of 1896. He was unknown in the business circle of Nashville.
Mr. Wilsdorf called for one of the fine touring cars, crowded the gentlemen into it and struck out about three blocks to where the wood work is carried on. Here the band saws, rip saws, mortising machines, plainers, molding machines and every form of wood work, were humming, taking the wood from the rough lumber and bringing it out in complete form. From there the party was carried into the sheet steel department where the beds of the cars were being covered with fine sheet steel. From this he carried them to the paint shops and here they were shown fully a thousand beds for motor cars of every description. From this he carried the crowd into the upholstering department, and from the upholstering department to the packing and shipping rooms, and from the packing and shipping rooms to the platform, where the motor cars are loaded into box cars and shipped away.
After all had been finished Mr. Wilsdorf had the gentlemen re-enter the touring car and carried them back to the office to re-examine the trucks for freight hauling. One of the gentlemen left an order for a fine touring car and another left orders for two freight trucks. These touring cars range in price from $1,200 to $2,600 each. The run-abouts, or roadsters range in price from $600 to $1,200. The freight trucks range in price from $1,800 to $2,600. When the company of gentlemen had fully satisfied themselves that they had been richly paid for their visit, Mr. Wilsdorf was not satisfied, but said his customers must be carried back to their homes, hence orders were issued for two fancy touring cars and the gentlemen were loaded into them, chaufeurs were called and a dash made for their homes.
In conversation with the manager, the representative asked him if it was his custom to treat Negro visitors with these accommodations. He gave the Globe reporter quite a laugh, shrugged his shoulders and sald, as a salesman he had noticed that Negroes were chaufeurs on the finest cars built, and that a number of them were owning motor cars, and the company had something over a

THE ONE-CENT SAVINGS BANK INVESTING.
Buys Brown Building on Cedar Street Will Remodel for Office
Another important real estate deal was recorded in Nashville recently when the historic and well-known Brown Building, a three-story brick structure on Cedar street, was sold at auction. At first it appeared that there would be a spirited contest, as quite a number of people were there ready to purchase the property, which it was thought would go at a sacrifice, as it is said to have been in litigation for a number of years. The bid was opened very low, but gradually increased. The contestants dropped out one by one until there were but two bidders.
They were representatives from the two banks of the city. The building was finally sold to a representative of the One Cent Savings Bank, being bid in by Attorney J. W. Grant, the first vice president of the bank, for the sum of $12,460. It is considered by all that this was a splendid price to pay for the property, which needs considerable repairs, although it has a splendid location and will no doubt be in demand as an office building after it has been remodeled.
It has been remodeled and repaired.
Its former owner was one of Nashville's oldest and most highly respected citizens, and the six heirs sold the property so that a division could be made. A Globe representative called on the One Cent Savings Bank officials and learned that it is not the intention of the bank to occupy the building, but that it is its plan to remodel and open it up as a strictly first-class office building. The president of the One Cent Savings Bank stated Wednesday that he was going to recommend that the work of improvements begin at once. At present the building is only partially occupied, there being no tenants whatever on the third floor, but the first and second floors have never been vacant.
An interesting feature of this transaction is that it was the Brown Building in which Dr. R. H. Boyd, the president of the One Cent Savings Bank, started that gigantic institution the National Baptist Publishing Board, of
which he is the present secretary. The entire publishing plant at that time consisted of a table for desk and an old-fashioned split-bottom chair, a writing tabet and a lead pencil. This was in the fall of 1896 He was unknown in the business circle of Nashville and Little did the people of the state think at that time he would ever be at the head of an institution that would some day buy the celebrated Brown Building. Several times Dr. Boyd had offered to purchase this building for a cash consideration of $14,000.00. It was at this time that he thought of locating the publishing plant of the Negro Baptists in that building, but the Brown heirs refused the offer, holding it for a larger consideration. So it was then that he bought the old Leickhart property. It is stated that a meeting of the directors of the One Cent Savings Bank will be called at an early date to consider the propriety of the immediate improvement of the property just purchased.
GOING TO THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONGRESS
Jackson, Tenn., April 23.—A representative delegation will go from this place to the Baptist Sunday-School Congress that will be held at Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., June 5-10. Among those who will attend are Rev. Goodall, pastor of the Berean Baptist Church, and Mr. J. A. Hay, superintendent of the same church.
million dollars invested in this plant, at they were not in Nashville for fun, and that they wanted their cars to be known and understood by all people who handle cars or own cars. He assured the reporter that so far as the factory and its management were concerned, all men looked alike, that they first show their cars and the manufacturing works to the visitors and talk sales afterwards.
On looking around through the factory, the reporter was surprised to see the number of Negroes who are given employment, and on further examination found that these Negroes are receiving salaries commensurate with their skill. It is evident that it will not be long before Negroes will not only be handling motor cars as chauffeurs, but will be fully capable of doing repair work and even manufacturing work on these cars, as the Marathon Motor Car Company is giving ready employment in their factory to Negroes who are willing to work.

GREAT SUNDAY- SCHOOL RALLY
GREAT SUNDAY- SCHOOL RALLY
RYMAN AUDITORIUM A LIVELY SCENE.
Inspiring Songs and Instructive Talks
Two Bands Furnish Music
Dr. Bushell Conducts Chorus
Drs. Ellington and Clark Principal Speakers-No One Seemed to Weary of the Program.
Success perched itself upon the efforts put forth by the committee the Sunday-Sschool Union to present a sacred cantata. The result was a stupendous demonstration and meeting at the Ryman Auditorium last Sunday afternoon. The real work of religious enthusiasm was kindled at 1:30 when two brass bands with a great crowd of children and representatives of the many Baptists Sunday-schools in the city gathered on the Public Square in response to a well outlined program and line of march. At 2:15 the procession, led by the head of the Sunday-school forces of the Baptists of this country, Dr. R. H Boyd, began its march to the auditorium; and then came the I. O. I Band; the Sunday-schools led by their superintendents; afterwards the children with flying banners and waving pennants, the representatives of 42 Sunday-schools of the city; the North Nashville Brass Band and more children followed. One band played "Christian Soldiers Marching," and the other strains of this lied out the other band began playing "Onward Christian Soldiers." Among the enthusiasts in the parade were the chairman of the Sunday-School Union, Rev. T. J. Lewis, who took his part with the boys and marched in the middle of the street; and the Secretary of the Sunday-School Congress, Henry A. Boyd, who with a huge Sunday-Congress pennant of red, white and blue, directed the procession. The line of march was south on the Square to Deaderick street, west on Deaderick street to Summer, south on Summer to the Ryman Auditorium.
Thousands of people thronged the streets and caught the spirit of the occasion as the young representatives of Christ tramped their way to the Gospel Tabernacle. Buggies, street cars and pedestrians were stopped, lining up on each side giving the middle of the street to the Sunday-school children. Upon reaching the Tabernacle, the bands lined up on one side and on the other, while a long line of Sunday-school children marched into the Auditorium, then the two bands were led in the secretary of the Sunday-School Congress amid a great burst of cheers and applause from the vast number of spectators in the Auditorium. The I. O. I. Band rendered several choice selections, then the chairman, Rev. T. J. Lewis, called the meeting to order and introduced the master of ceremonies, Dr. R. H. Boyd, who, in a few remarks, gave a brief address affecting the Sunday-school movements of the United States. The following program was rendered:

MEHARRY MEDICAL COLLEGE.
Graduating Class Receives Diplomas
Address Delivered by Dr. M. C. B Mason—Young Doctors Urged to be Strong—Opportunities for Service Emphasized—Prof. J. W. Brister Makes Interesting Talk—Diplomas and Prizes Awarded.
The thirty-sixth anniversary of the Meharry Medical, Dental, Pharmaceutical and Nurse Training College of Walden University was held at the Ryman Auditorium Tuesday night of this week. The evening was an ideal one, and when the door sprung open at 7:15 a goodly number of people had assembled for entrance. From that time until 8 o'clock a constant stream of humanity was pouring into the spacious Auditorium. Everything was tastefully arranged and the program was carried out without the least friction. At 7:30 Prof. I. J. Berry struck up the prosecution march, and the 114 graduate started from the east side of the tabernacle and marched around to the center aisle and thence to the south west corner on to the stage. As soon as the first member of the graduating class reached the front of the stage the great concourse of people burst forth with an applause that was almost deafening, and from that time until the last member of the class had taken his place on the stage individual members of the class were constantly applauded by their special friends. No one received greater personal applause than Dr. A. T. Landers, of the Dental Club. Dr. Landers was for several years connected with the National Baptist Publishing House and made an enviable reputation in that capacity, and at the same time, by his gentlemanly bearing a host of a hearty congratulations in the way of a hearty applause. After the class had assembled on the stage Dr. Hubbard arose and asked the audience to join in singing "All Hall the Power of Jesus" Name. The piano struck up the old familiar tune and the thousands of voices joined in the singing which was of the kind that is characteristic of Nashville audiences. After invocation the Young Men's Glee Club sang "Springtime." Their singing was of a high order and brought forth great applause from the audience. The next place on the program was the address by Dr. M. C. B. Mason, of Cincinnati, Corresponding Secretary of Freedmen's Aid Society. Dr. Hubbard in presenting Dr. Mason said that doubtless many in the audience had heard him before and to those it would be a treat to hear him again, and to those who had never heard him it would be a rare treat for them. Dr. Mason arose in his graceful manner and at once went right to the point in addressing the Graduating Class. He dwelled largely upon the duty of the physician to the community and his opportunity for service. The speaker pictured to the graduates some of the tentations and obstacles with which they would have to contend as young doctors. He put special stress on the dreaded disease tuberculosis. He counted statistics of the death rate in Nashville, Tennessee, that was startling, and emphasized the fact that what was true in Nashville in respect to tuberculosis was also true in a like measure in the North and elsewhere as well in the South. He urged the graduates to endeavor to discover a new remedy to combat the disease and said he, it will be a glowing tribute to Dean Hubbard and to the glory of the Meharry Medical College if some member of the class of 1912 would by research and original investigation contribute to the world a remedy that would aid in combating this dread disease and others as well. The speaker then counseled the class to be manly men and to adopt the method of living on high ground and to seek only the highest ideals and citizenship and professional practice. He urged them not to seek vain glory and not to exalt themselves in high places to show to the world how important they are, but to content themselves with a policy of persistent and conscientious effort to prove their worth to the community rather than attempt to gain notoriety by spectacular display. He further urged them not to select any short route to fame, but to build thoroughly and on foundations that will stand the test of time.
Prof. John W. Brister, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, made a few brief remarks at the conclusion of Dr. Mason's address. Prof. Bristen dwelt especially upon the opportunities of the physician to be a (Continued on Page 4)
REV. S. L. HOWARD AN EVANGELIST.
As an Evangelist He Has No Equal
—Will ask General Conference
For Endorsement.
The Second Quarterly Conference of St. John A. M. E. Church was concluded Wednesday night of this week. The reports showed a total collection of $68. The pastor, in speaking of the report, explained that the quarterly collection was taken in the midst of a revival, and for that reason no special stress was attached to it. He said he felt that the members should be congratulated, however, for the splendid work they had done in the revival. The meeting closed last Sunday with a total of 85 conversions. 79 were converted at the church, and 6 in their sick rooms. A significant feature of the revival

held by Dr. Howard was that out of the 85 conversions more than 50 of them were men, the majority of whom were over 40 years old, and of the remaining number more than 50 percent. were women well advanced in years.—several of them grandmothers. The members of the church, it was learned, made a systematic campaign, and wherever they knew of a friend who was not a Christian they went to him or her and pleaded with them in the name of the Christ. When the meeting closed, several organizations had planned to bring their sinner friends to the meeting. This was also true of fellow workman who are employed in large numbers at the great manufacturing establishments in the tiy. Dr. Howard is a noted evangelist and will in a few days leave for the General Conference of his church which will convene in Kansas City, Mo., where he will ask them to endorse an Evangelistic Bureau. The plan upon which he proposes to operate the Bureau is set forth in the following: The African Methodist Connectional Evangelistic Bureau.

These movements are only signs of the times and tend to show the need of the hour.
No one can do the work of an evangelist except they are called of Christ and endured with power on high. Luke 24:49.

Washington, April 20.—(Special.)—The victory of Colonel Roosevelt in the presidential preference primaries of Nebraska and Oregon on April 19th practically clinches his nomination by the Republican National Convention at Chicago.
Six great Republican States have now expressed themselves by presidential preference primary and every one has gone overwhelmingly against Mr. Taft. These states, in the order in which they have voted, are North Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Nebraska and Oregon. They aggregate 196 delegates to the National Convention. Of these Mr. Taft has carried 2 from the Illinois districts controlled by the notorious Senator Lorimer, and 6 from districts in the city of Philadelphia, where the almost equally notorious Penrose machine is dominant. In terms of delegates, the Taft candidacy has been repudiated by these six Northern States 24:12 to 1. From these six great Republican States, Colonel Roosevelt has 152 instructed, uncontested delegates. Colonel Roosevelt leads Mr. Taft nearly 20 to 1, in terms of delegates. These six Republican States cast an aggregate of 98 votes in the electoral college. Without them, no Republican candidate can hope to be elected. There can be no mistaking the character of their warning to the Republican party that Mr. Taft is not a safe man to name as its candidate for the presidency this year. Equally certain is their demand for the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt.
From every corner of the United States comes the same refrain: "Roosevelt is as good as nominated! Taft is out of the running." This chorus is sounded not alone by Progressive newspapers, but by heretofore dyeed-in-the-wool reactionary organs; it is the view expressed—even publicly—by men known as strong partisans of the President. A few examples, taken at random from papers received since the landslide for Roosevelt in Illinois and the avalanche in Pennsylvania, will suffice to show the geneal trend of opinion.
For instance, the Topeka (Kansas) capital, under the caption "Taft Supporters' Hope About Gone," says: "That the Roosevelt landslide in Pennsylvania put Mr. Taft practically out of the running as a serious candidate for renomination was the general impression even among strong Taft supporters."
Hark to the Pittsburg (Pa.) Gazette-Times, whose fealty to Taft and the Penrose-Oliver machine is beyond question:
"Col. Roosevelt's victory in the republican primaries of Pennsylvania of Saturday was so overwhelming that CDSzRe 1.8 cm ETAI HRWY that it is impossible to question its meaning and not difficult to measure its ultimate effect. Whatever Col. Roosevelt's alleged faults, temperamentally, economically, politically or otherwise, we have indubitable evidence now that this aggressive personality and rugged courage appeal to the favorable consideration of a majority of the Republicans of this state and that they desire him as the party's nominee for president."
Some Interesting Campaign Figures. Washington, April 20.—Senator Dixon at the Roosevelt Headquarters today said: "Six hundred and forty-four delegates to the Republican National Convention have been elected up to date. Of these, 239 are for Colonel Roosevelt, 85 for Mr. Taft, 6 for Senator Cummins, 36 for Senator La Folette, 118 are uninstructed, including 88 from New York State; and contests are pending in the cases of the remaining 160."

Schlitz is brewed in the dark, stored for months in glass lined steel enameled tanks, bottled in darkened rooms where even the shades are drawn to exclude the light, then sent to you in brown bottles. Without all these precautions no beer can be healthful, and who knowingly drunk beer that was not. Light starts decay even in pure beer. Dark glass gives protection against light. We have adopted every idea, evey invention that could aid to this end. To-day, more than half the cost of brewing is spent to make and keep Schlitz beer pure.

THE MANHATTAN
This most luxurious establishment has been under the sole management of Mr. Albert Watkins for the past fifteen years. Its wonderful popularity is ascribed to generous hospitality that is proverbial. The manager and employees. No like Negro establishment in Nashville has been so long under one continuous control, thus evidencing the fact that Mr. Watkins is a first-class business man.

The patrons are as a general rule, the higher order of Negro citizens who believe in correct deportment. No devotee of the slums is entertained for an instant. Perfect decorum is maintained at all times.
MR. ALBERT WATKINS
Mr. Watkins, in his managerial career, has met and entertained the leading Negroes from all parts of the country, thereby his name is known throughout the United States.
Fifteen years of strict business methods have made the Manhattan the Mecca of all. Personally, Mr. Watkins is the soul of honor and a hale fellow well met.
Mr. Watkins appreciates the liberal patronage that he has enjoyed for so many years and returns thanks to his legion of friends.

Misses Marie and Marine Maberry, twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Wm Maberry, of Eleventh avenue, North, were the charming little hostesses to a number of their little friends on the occasion of their tenth birthday Tuesday afternoon, April 23rd, at the residence of their aunt, Mrs. Exodus Graves, 1414 Phillips street, from 3 to 7 o'clock. The afternoon was ideal for the occasion, and the time was pleasantly spent in playing games, singing and reciting. The house was beautifully decorated with ferns and cut flowers. The color scheme of pink and white was carried out in the cakes, ices and candies. The center of the table was graced by a birthday cake ornamented with pink roses and cups bearing ten small white candles. Each guest received a souvenir which afforded much pleasure. Many useful and beautiful presents were received. Among those present were Gladestine Graves, Roberta Woods, Lillian Pardon, Ruby Abernathy, Myrtle Phillips, Mary Scales, Mattie Mae Marshall Rebecca Marshall, Willie Mae Rucker, Nimmie Jenkins, Glenora Cannon, Ethel Hemphill, Marie and Marine Maberry, Masters Joseph, Leroy and Frank Sapp, Robert Woods, E. W. Woods and Theodore Edward Graves.

DECLARATIONS OF THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE NEGRO.
Tuskegee, Alabama, April 19, 1912.
1. The members of this Conference, representing widely different parts of the world, and equally different interests and experiences and points of view with regard to the Negro race and its problems, are profoundly convinced that this meeting which has brought them together for discussion and consultation is both timely and important, and that the movement here begun may be most beneficial and far-reaching in its effects and the opportunities for cooperation which it opens up.
II. The members of this Conference feel also that this school at Tuskegee, which is a great experimental station in racial education and at the same time a center of Negro life, has been well chosen as a place of meeting.
III. The Conference has been strongly impressed with the great advantages that must result from the coming together of such various interests as here find representation, racial, industrial, educational and religious. The importance of meetings of this kind to the Negro people in the United States, Africa and the West Indies is obvious; the interests of European governments having colonies in tropical regions directly concerned, and the questions here discussed are not without importance in their effect upon the native races in all parts of the world.
IV. As far as concerns education, no point has received more unanimous support than the need to widen the scope of education so that it may touch life at as many points as possible, although the application of this principle must differ with the different conditions of various localities. V. Impressed with the value of the opportunities for discussion and observation that the meeting has afforded, the Conference recommends that similar international meetings be held triennially; arrangements for the place of meeting and the preparation of a detailed program to be placed in the hands of a committee to be appointed at this Conference. The Conference also recommends that efforts be made to appoint local committees or representatives for the collection of information along lines be suggested by this central committee. J. R. Williams, Director of Education of Jamaica.
W. I. Thomas, Professor of Sociology, University of Chicago.
Maurice S. Evans, Representative of the British African Society, London, England.
James Denton, Principal of the Fourth Bay College, Sierra Leone, Africa.
Isaiah B. Scott, Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Monrovia, Liberia.
Washington Harper Representative from Barbadoes, B. W. I.
Robert E. Park, Former Secretary of the Congo Reform Association in America.
INTERESTING FEATURE OF THE
CONFERENCE.
An interesting feature of the Conference was the variety of interests, religious, social, educational and scientific represented at this meeting. There were Africans, West Indians and Americans of all denominations and various shades of color. There were representatives of the very latest scientific views upon social and racial problems, and there was at least one man who spoke of himself as having been "discovered," a few years ago, by a missionary, though he is now conducting a little African Methodist Church in British Guiana, South America.
The British West Indies were represented on the one hand by a fine type of the British, Colonial official in the person of Hon. J. R. Williams, Director of Education for Jamaica, Kingston, Jamaica, and by a very humble and simple black man in the person of Washington Harper, shipwright, as he signed himself, from Barbados.
Among the striking figures in the Conference, was a soft spoken Spanish diplomat from Venezuela, Dr. Esteban Gil Borges; a fighting Irish Catholic Priest in the person of Rev. Father D. J. Bustin, of New York.

the pastor. Therefore, he has no time to spend in evangelizing. Even a pastor of evangelistic gift cannot find time to assist his nearest neighbor in soul saving: "The one thing that is needful."
We will offer to the General Conference, at Kansas City, the plan of an Evangelistic Bureau, with a central office, through which all the evangelists of the Connection can work with pastors of evangelistic gift, co-operating.
The home office is to direct the field of operation. This will enable the pastors, throughout the Connection to find a reputable evangelist to assist them in this much needed work. Not only this, but capable evangelists to conduct city campaigns and to start a revival movement Connection wide.
Our Slogan: A million African Methodists in this Quadrennium. That is, enough added to the present membership to make a million. We have now about 600,000 members, and we need, and must have, a million members by the General Conference of 1916. Our one hundredth anniversary of our beloved Bethel. With an evangelistic bureau in active operation, we can easily increase our membership to one million.
Brethren, the business of the church is to save souls, and we can, God helping us, do the work by such a movement.
This is not an office for honor and money, but for work of the Master.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
The remains of Mrs. Eliza Binkley will be removed from the vault and interred in Greenwood Cemetery Sunday at 2 o'clock. Friends are invited.

find no such word or usage in the English language. At this, Mr. Carrington created considerable laughter.
He called on Dr. Terant, being an able Columbian jurist, to explain what was meant. When no explanation could be given, Mr. Carrington told the court that the English Baptists got tired of this colored man and brought him to London and bade him good-bye. This created considerable laughter. Chief Justice Gudger became interested in the case, and examined the witnesses to the satisfaction of the court.
After Mr. Pinnock's testimony, ten or fifteen members of the different churches were put on the stand, and the plaintiffs closed their case. Mr. Carrington then put the secretary on the stand to rebut some evidence. Excited as we were, being in a strange land, before a strange court, not knowing what the conditions were, we prayed a silent prayer, asking the Lord to direct us what to say. We told, to the best of our judgment, of the organization of the National Baptist Convention, the work of the Home Mission Board and its co-operation with the National Baptist Convention. This caused the Judge, or some of the Judges to call for the United States government books, or religious statistics, which were brought into the court and examined. Finding that the secretary had given correct testimony on that point, the court then asked us to explain our work on the Zone, which we did to the best of our ability. He then asked us why we did not employ Mr. Pinnock longer, and why we dismissed him because he performed the ordinances that should be performed by regular Baptist ministers. We told him that there were three families of Baptists in the States, the Northern Baptists (white), the Southern Baptists (white), and the National, or Negro Baptists; that the Northern Baptists were not as careful concerning ordinances as the Southern Baptists; that the Southern Baptists were more strict concerning the doctrine, but that the National or Negro Baptists were more particular than either family of the white Baptists concerning their doctrine; that they would under no condition allow a member to unite with their church unless he had been baptized by a Baptist minister and could get a letter of dismission, or he must give good account by experienced grace; that no member was allowed to take the ordinance of the Lord's Supper in a Negro Baptist church unless he had been baptized by a regular Baptist preacher; that no preacher was allowed to administer the ordinance unless he had been regularly ordained by a presbytery ordered by some regular Baptist church, and that ordained ministers coming from other denominations could not pass as ordained ministers among them.
We then told the court that we refused to ordain Mr. Pinnock for the reason that he claimed to have worked twenty-four years for the English white Baptists, and they did not ordain him, but sent him away without giving him proper credentials or recommendations, and this created suspicion in the minds of the Board. When this testimony was completed the lawyer began an argument which was very able. At the close of the argument the Chief Justice began to sum up the case, which he did in a very able manner. When he had reached the point concerning the ordinance, Rev. Mr. J. Wise, the superintendent for the Southern Baptist Convention, arose and said he desired to correct the court. The Judge ceased and looked at him over his glasses to hear what he had to say. He set forth that the English Baptists did not ordain as the American Baptists do; that they had two preachers who were in the same condition of Rev. Mr. J. J. Pinnock, giving as their names Mr. Lovridge and Mr. Whitt, both white men and English ministers. Judge Gudger reddened some in the face, pointed his finger at Mr. Wise and asked him what he had to do with this matter, and why it was that he didn't attend to the business of the Southern Baptists and let the Negro Baptists alone. To which, Mr. Wise answered that he only wanted to advise them as brethren, and the Judge said, "Yes, I understand your advising, I have seen your hand all along in this case. Now, I want to warn you that I am a North Carolinian to the manner born. I know all of the religious bodies in the States. I know the Southern Baptists more particularly. I am personally acquainted with them and their work. I know the Negro Baptists. I know this secretary that testified here by reputation and recommendation. I know that he has stated the facts just as they exist in the States. I know that it is an uncommon thing for white men to preach or attempt to pastor Negro churches anywhere in the States. I know that the Southern Baptists would not stand one minute for this matter, if they knew and understood it. I now warn you that if you employ this man and he performs another marriage on the Isthmus, I will give both you and him the full extent of the law; and if this white man has no more proof of ordinance than he has presented to this court, I will give him the same. This is an American territory, and regardless of what the English or British Baptists may do in their own territory, we will have American laws carried out in this territory."
NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. APRIL 26. 1912.
BY DR. R. H. BOYD. D. D., LL. D.
preacher, or any preacher as a denomination. But he confessed that if others were being paid for their services in visiting hospitals and burying the dead, or attending the spiritual needs of the sick and poor as chaplains, ours should be paid also. He further said that he was acquainted with the work being done by Rev. Mr. Thourbourne, but had not clearly understood real conditions.
The Governor said there were certain ministers (white) that were not very popular with the public; that he did not care to attempt to explain the reasons why, or the conditions existing, but that when this matter was taken up in the future he, with others, would give it careful consideration. When told that there was a proposition to have us give up our work on the Zone; he was ready in a moment to advise us not to do so. He thought the work most profitable among the Negroes. He told us that he was an American citizen and a Southerner, being a Kentuckian, and that we must know by this, that he believed that Negroes could best serve the spiritual needs of Negroes. The Governor uttered that curious phrase which we heard from all others, "I do not care to be quoted." Then he began to tell us some things which it is not lawful to utter. After spending a pleasant hour with the Governor, we shook hands with him, telling him that we would spend Tuesday afternoon and evening and Wednesday at Empire, looking at the work of the Canal, and that Thursday we would sail for the States. He asked to be remembered kindly to his many friends, and then shook hands with us again.
We had now seen all of the officials that it was necessary to see, and we then set out to look for some curiosities in the Zone. We looked over the mouth of the Canal, and the new city Balboa and many other curious points of interest, watched the general work and returned home, or to the pastor's home. After a fine dinner, we packed up and made ready for Empire. At four o'clock we were on the train for Empire. Here, while riding, we met Rev. Mr. Nellis again and renewed our conversation with him. We rode together all the way to Empire. We had the pleasure of meeting several other ministers (white), and were introduced to officials of various grades who had been up to Panama enjoying the fiesta. We also saw Rev. Mr. Lovridge, but he was in another coach, and just as we were making to the coach to impose our acquaintance upon him, we saw he had reached Culebra Station and was leaving the train, hence we did not get to have a personal acquaintance with the reverend gentleman.
After spending some time in Empire, we found our way to the church. This was the night that the Chinese citizens were celebrating their new republic. We had heard fire crackers in all forms, we thought; we had heard the shooting of Roman candles and every other fire celebrating instrument, but the climax was reached and capped on that night. When they had exhausted their money, or burnt up all the fireworks in Empire, matters quieted down, and we entered into religious services. Mr. Wise, according to promise, was on hand. He was with us in the meeting and took part in the services. He brought one of the deacons of the First Baptist Church (white) who took part in the services and sang a solo. When Mr. Thourbourne had opened the services, we did not attempt to preach a sermon, but did some very plain, straight-forward talking to the members of the Empire church. This was not a public meeting, but a meeting exclusively for the members of the church, and we insisted upon Mr. Wise being present to hear what we had to say.
Here we again repeated our story, saying as plainly and emphatically as possible that the National Baptist Convention never hoisted its banner on any territory and then pulled it down; that the banner staff might give way and the banner might fall, but the members and officials of the Convention have never hauled it down themselves. We then talked over the conditions of the church, told the members how and by whom the bell had been obtained, and who raised a collection of $10.00 to assist in hanging the bell and putting in a baptistry. We informed the members that the Board of Health had objected to persons being baptized in the lakes or pools around the city, on account of black oil, and, therefore, we must put in a pool. We informed them that it would cost $50 gold to put in the pool and $25 to hang the bell, making $75. We handed over our part of the money and urged the church to raise its part.
After services, Mr. Wise walked with us up into the city. We stopped at the rooms of Lawyer Carrington, which were right on the way to Mr. Wise's home. Rev. Dr. Wise and the deacon chatted with us very pleasantly all the way to where we had to stop. We informed Dr. Wise that it was highly probable that we would return to the city on Wednesday, as we wanted to look over the work of the Canal. Bidding a friendly good-night, we retired to our resting place at the office rooms of Lawyer Carrington, who was absent, but who had left his key for our special benefit. At six o'clock in
He then continued to sum up the case, demanded that the property be vacated, that everything be turned over at once to the proper representatives of the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, and that the cost be taxed to the other parties and be held by the clerk out of the one hundred dollars deposited as a bond, and dismissed the court.
We went down from the court-room with a much lighter heart than we went up with. We shook hands with our attorney, Mr. Carrington. We then went and formed the acquaintance of Mr. Terant, who is a very able Columbian jurist, and who said to us that he had been misled by his clients, that he was sorry that he had no case.
It might be well here to say to our surprise, the reports of the National Baptist Convention were introduced, copies of publications were introduced to show that the secretary of the Home Mission Board was not in accord with the wishes of the National Baptist Convention, and an attempt was made to take advantage of things that had passed in the Convention and in public print to convince the Court that the Board had not acted altogether in accord with the wishes of the Convention, and many other things not necessary to mention, except to say that this ought to be a warning to our Baptist brethren to be careful what they write and of the resolutions they allow to be passed by their bodies, knowing that record is made of these, even in foreign lands.
When we had had our supper we were ready for the Monday night meeting. By seven thirty o'clock, notwithstanding the fiesta was in full blaze in the city, the members were vying with each other for seats. Here we talked to the church very earnestly and gave them to understand that the National Baptist Home Mission Board was in Panama to stay. We told them why we had been so careful not to express an opinion, or to give any occasion for offense to the court, but that now the courts had backed us up in our work, we expected to continue our work in that straightforward, Christian manner in which we had begun it. We assured the members that they need not entertain any fear on our part as to the radical change of the work without first consulting them, that if any changes were made they would be made to the best advantage of all concerned.
After shaking hands with the members and leaving an appointment for Wednesday night, asking as many of them as could make it convenient to meet us at the First Baptist Church, of Empire, we again returned to the pastor's home and were soon in dreamland.
Tuesday morning, February 21st. The fiesta people had awakened us several times during the night, but we arose at our usual time, had our Panama coffee and were out again to see the city. At nine o'clock we had our breakfast, and at ten o'clock were looking for the man with his little pony. At ten thirty o'clock we went back to the post-office and this time we did not have to be told to go to the "Negro window" to get our mail, for we had learned that the United States government had no hesitation in drawing the color line; so we went to the "Negro window" and called for our mail without making any complaint. After this, we went straight to Gov. Thatcher's office. We found the Governor very busy. Again, we sent in our card and letters of introduction.
Governor Thatcher, we are informed, was very busy in a conference, but before we had time to think of an excuse the porter returned to the sitting-room and informed us that the Governor had sent for us forthwith. Being summoned into the presence of his excellency, we hardly knew how to make an excuse, but as soon as we were in the office, we saw no excuse was needed. The Governor, dressed in his white military style, arose from his seat, extended his hand, congratulated us on being on the Zone and informed us that the letter of introduction from Governor Hooper was sufficient ceremony. We found him full of Kentucky life and he was soon making full inquiries concerning his friends in Kentucky. When we mentioned several names of acquaintances of ours and members of our Board, he readily remembered each one.
We told the Governor of our trying ord deals in the courts and asked him of religious conditions. He assured us he had watched the workings of our Board with considerable interest, but that it would not be proper on his part to make any criticisms pro or con. We then took up with him the question as to why the government was paying the ministers of certain boards, or denominations, in fact, the ministers among all denominations, that Is, white ministers, and why it was that our Board, being the only Board that had Negro work among Negroes, and our preacher or representative being the only representative of a Negro body, were refused the same courtesy. To this he answered that he did not know or did not care to explain. The Governor was emphatic. He said that, as an American citizen, he was opposed to the Government paying any denominational

the morning we were up and off for Panama on the early train. Rushing back to Panama, we found breakfast waiting for us. After breakfast we were again off to look at the work of the Zone, of which we will speak later.
Wednesday night. We had called a special meeting of the Panama church for Wednesday night. The services were lively; the members had gotten used to us and at this meeting they began to be responsive and occasionally we could hear an "amen" among the members. We began to feel like we were at home. We then informed the members that Thursday morning we would go to Colon and would sail at three o'clock for New Orleans. We shook hands affectionately with the members and officers, and assured them that either we or a representative of our Board would possibly visit the Zone annually, or at least every two years. We assured them of the interest of the Board in their work, and that we hope to increase our forces upon the Zone.
We again found our way to the bed-room and about twelve o'clock we had fallen asleep. At five o'clock Thursday morning we were up and had our coffee and were on the train. Mr. and Mrs. Thourbourne were with us. We had taken through passage for Colon, and after many scenes reached Colon at eight o'clock. Here we found Lawyer Carrington and many others waiting for us. Lawyer Carrington carried us to his office first and then to his home, where we had a Colon breakfast which was awaiting us. It was very acceptable, for we had been used to eating just a little earlier. So we made up time and tried to put in both breakfast and dinner. Carriages were ordered and we began hurriedly to see the city and the surrounding country, spending the day profitably to our work until three o'clock, at which time the ship was to sail.
In the meantime we had learned that the steamship Mexican of the Leland Line had arrived in port from Liverpool en route to New Orleans; that it would sail Saturday at twelve o'clock and would call at the port of Costa Rica and would reach Port Limon at eight o'clock Sunday morning. This gave us great pleasure and we changed our plans of sailing by way of the United Fruit Company's route to that of the Leland Line, accepting passage on the steamship Mexican, and thereby had another day in Colon. Buying our ticket and arranging our baggage, we then had the time before us.
Returning to Lawyer Carrington's home, we found six o'clock dinner waiting for us. After dinner we accepted an invitation to visit the Club. Here we met gentlemen too numerous to mention. Not one of them, however, was a church member. All had been members of the church, but confessed that they had lost all confidence and interest in the church, and informed us that in case colored ministers would take hold of colored congregations they could and would renew their interest.
From the Club we were invited to go over to the closing exercises of Prof. Curr's school. This is an independent school once supposed to have been under the auspices of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. We found the school exercises being conducted in the Episcopal hall, which was crowded to its utmost capacity. We learned from others that Prof. Curr was very popular as a teacher and that he had a large subscription school though independent from either government or the church. We had never met Prof. Curr, but someone reported our presence and one of the managers introduced us to him and he insisted on us making a short talk. One can readily imagine how embarrassed we were. We could have nothing to say more than to inform the teachers and scholars that we were publishers of Sunday-school literature for children; that we were deeply interested in educational work and public welfare; that we were there to see and not to be seen; that we were there to hear and not to be heard; that we could not fully express our mission, but hoped to be prepared to talk some day in the future.
We returned to the home of Lawyer Carrington and it was time to pass around the beds. We arose Friday morning, and again Mrs. Carrington, that princess of housewives and American ladies, had our coffee waiting for us. After coffee we wanted to take advantage of the cool of the day and see more of Colon. Here we found what seemed to us to be the same pony we had left in Panama City, so we began to jabber with the man, but finally had to call Rev. Thourbourne and Mr. Carrington to talk for us. Arrangements were made and we had an opportunity to see Eastern Colon before breakfast. Returning again to the home, we had a ten o'clock breakfast and Lawyer Carrington left for the courts in Empire.
Rev. Thourbourne and the writer got themselves in order and arranged for a trip through Cristobia. We went first to the ruins of the Baptist church and then to the Mission, where the temporary services were being held, then to the public schools and many of the other government places. By eleven or twelve o'clock we were in the office of Rev. Mr. C. H. Elliott. We found that Mr. Elliot was a Presbyterian, U. S. A., and here we met with the warmest reception, it seemed, we had met among the ministers. He gave us a letter of introduc-

Last week was a great week in Clarksville, being the occasion of the annual spring carnival conducted by the Knights of Pythias (white). Hundreds of our people donned their holiday attire and strutted the streets, visited the carnival grounds and patronized liberally the many attractions. They seemed to never stop to think that these same Knights of Pythias are spending hundreds of dollars through the courts to destroy the colored Knights of Pythias, just because they are colored. The only organization in the country that has gone into the courts to try to force the disbanding of an organization of Negroes just because they have the same name, forms and ritual as they, and yet I am informed that they could not get enough colored Knights of Pythias together to hold regular lodge meeting last week, so greatly were they carried away with the carnival given by their arch enemies. When will we learn to stand upon our dignity as a race?
The country schools are closing and the teachers are coming in and resuming their accustomed places in society, Sunday-school and choirs, and we are all happy to see them. Mrs. Francis Beaumont, who has been teaching in Guthrie, Ky., left here on the 21st for Indianapolis, Ind., where she will visit her daughter, Mrs. Ben Hudson and Miss Beatrice, also Master George, who are attending school in that city.

week. Mrs. Hays and her little babe were in the best of health when they left. Rev. P. J. Coleman spent a part of the week in Nashville. "Shipwrecks" was the subject of Rev. Dr. Graham's sermon last Sunday night, in which he drew many striking lessons from the wreck of the Titanic, perhaps the most forceful being, False Notions of Security. On Saturday, the 20th, at 11 o'clock a.m. at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. Daniel Wooden, of Kentucky, and Miss Mary Walker, of this city, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony by the Rev. D. A. Graham. The bride is the youngest daughter of Rev. G. W. Walker and the groom is a prosperous young farmer, of Christian County, Ky. The happy couple left for their home the same day. The Sunday-school of St. John Baptist Church was largely attended. Visitors, two; new scholars, three. Rev. S. W. Toles preached one of his soul-stirring sermons at 11:30 o'clock, and also at night. The sermon of the Gideons was preached by Rev. Cross. It was largely attended by members out of town. The Carnation Circle met at the church with Sister Eliza Duncan. Two courses were served. The King's Sons met as usual with much interest in their work. The May fair has been announced to open the 6th of May, followed by the rally. The county school has closed. Many of our teachers may fall in line and help push the battle to the front. Mr. Herman Kirkman is the guest of Misses Talley.

Services at Mt. Olive Sunday wert good. Pastor preached during the day. His subject in the morning was The Scene of our Saviour's Execution. Text: Luke 23:33, "The place called Calvary." The services both night and day were well attended. One addition by baptism. The Mt. Olive choir is taking on new life; they sang to the delight of all who heard them Monday night at the musical at the Fifth Ward Baptist Church. Mrs. Annis Rainey, one of the faithful members of our choir who is now in Nashville for a while, was home Sunday and filled her place in the choir. We were glad to see her. Mr. George Reeves, one of the deacons of our church, took a flying trip to Louisville Sunday to see his boys. The B. Y. P. U. of our church had quite a lively discussion Sunday evening on the subject. The Need of Christian Religion, Brother C. A. Jackson, the president of the B. Y. P. U., deserves great credit for the interest he keeps aroused in the Union. The Morning Glory Sewing Circle met at the residence of Mrs. Louella Marshall last Friday. Had a delightful meeting. Amount of money raised, $5. Mrs. Inez Wilcox read a lovely paper, which was enjoyed by all who heard it. It was well prepared, well rendered, full of thought. After the business was over a lovely two-course menu was served. Mrs. Martyr Drain, Mrs. Wilcix and Miss Bessie Lot are on the sick list. Mr. Virgil Davile and Mrs. Doria Birkes are improving. The wedding bells are yet ringing here, and will ring loud Sunday morning on St. Martin street, South Clarksville.
Fifth Ward.
Rev. Dr. Ferrell has just closed a successful revival for the Fifth Ward people. Although the carnival was going on in the city, the pastor, members and Christians from other churches believed that the work of the Lord could succeed amidst the jollification of a city carnival. At the close of the meeting we were able to send a candidate to the following churches for baptism: Mt. Olive, St. John, as well as being able to keep a candidate for Fifth Ward. Monday night, April 22, an overflowing gathering assembled in the auditorium of the Fifth Ward Church to hear the great solist, Madame Patti Brown, of Chicago, Ill. After the church had been crowded almost to its uttermost capacity a telegram was placed into the hands of the master of ceremonies, Dr. S. Jefferson, who immediately mounted the rostrum and spoke as follows: "Ladies and gentlemen, the hour has now arrived for the rendering of the programme which I now hold in my hand. He congratulated Clarksville for having such excellent talent along the line of music, literary, poetry, etc., and then he praised the people of Clarksville for coming out in such large numbers to hear one of their own race. After Dr. Jefferson had worked his audience up to a home pride, he read the following telegram from Madam Anita Patti Brown: Nashville, Tenn., Apr. 22, 1912.
1088, 'Tenn.' Quite ill; cannot get to Clarksville to-night.
PATTIBROWN
PATTY BROWN.
At the reading of the telegram there was a twenty-five dollar house and others came in making about a thirty-dollar house, who listened to the rendition of the program by the local talent. Everybody enjoyed the program and words of congratulation were spoken to each one who appeared on program. Mrs. Polly Snordon entertained the Crescent Circle at her home Monday evening, April 22. It was a royal occasion and everybody enjoyed it. Sunday will be the annual rally day at Fifth Ward, and we are expecting a big time in Zion that day. M. Tolive, St. John, St. Peter, Wesley Chapel and Mt. Zion will march into that auditorium Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock like one solid phalanx and burst forth the Pauline Declaration, Now brethren, concerning collection. Rev. Mr. M. Scovel Richardson, A. B. of Fisk University, and now a senior theological student of Roger Williams University, will speak for the Fifth Ward people at 11 o'clock Sunday morning, and at 2:30 p. m. he will also be the speaker of the occasion. Mr. Richardson bears the name of being a polished scholar, Christian gentleman, smooth reasoner and a gospel preacher of no mean ability. At night at 8 o'clock the pastor will preach from the subject, The Sinking of the Titanic. Every member of the church is going to do their very best in this rally, and because of the loyalty of Fifth Ward to her sister churches, we feel safe in saying that they will be there and strive to make a heavy financial rap.

STEVENSON (ALA.) NOTES:
SERVICES at the M. E. Church last Sunday were conducted by Rev. P. P. Wright, the pastor, who preached at 11 a. m. The subject was, Make a decision now. All present seemed to enjoy the discourse. By the request of J. H. Hurt, quite a number of people assembled at Avery public school for the purpose of organizing a Vest Pocket Testament League. After the organization, the following officers were elected: J. H. Hurt, president; Mr. Hex Buckman, vice-president; Gracie Williams, secretary; M. T. Tally, treasurer; S. P. Burley, Bible instructor; Mrs. Nina E. Ditty, assistant Bible instructor; Mr. Bogart Tally, christier; Mrs. J. H. Hurt, corresponding secretary. Quite a number joined the Vest Pocket Testament League. No doubt the league will be a great success, because we shall put forth a united effort to make it so. Mrs. Dora Lee Smith and Mrs. Ora Stephens made a pleasant visit in Fackles last Sunday. They report a nice time. Mrs. J. Hunt and Mrs. Nina E. Ditty Townsend, of Brownsboro, Ala., pastor of the Primitive Baptist Church, held his services here last Sunday. The services were quite interesting, as usual. Rev. W. C. Crutcher left Sunday to fill his pulpit in Scottboro, Ala., Mr. and Mrs. Walter Daniel born to them at the fine girl last week. This is the name of the those who are sick: Mrs. Chaney Tally, Mrs. Addie Cole. The president of the Vest Pocket Testament League will urge time upon the members to read the Nashville Globe. I hope to the time come when our race will patronize their enterprises as the other races do theirs. Then we will have a better do theirs. Then we will have a church Sunday. Rev. P. P. Wright preached at the M. E. Church Sunday at 11:30. Rev. E. Hudson held services at his church Sunday.

ROGER WILLIAM STUDENTS AT
AUDITORIUM.
"Only one of the universities," said Chirman Lewis, of the Sunday-School Union, "accepted the invitation extended them to witness the sacred chorus and cantata, and that was Roger Williams University." A large delegation of the superintendents and members of the faculty under the personal supervision of Prof. J. W. Johnson, came out Sunday afternoon and were given special seats in the auditorium. The impression made upon the members of the faculty was favorable, and the impression made upon the students by the chorus appeared to be lasting. President Johnson expressed himself as highly piced and fully repaid for bringing the students out to hear the renditions by Negro authors and musicians.
MRS. JENCY HADLEY A CEN-
TENARIAN.
Brentwood, Tenn.-On Monday, Mrs. Jency Hadley, possibly the oldest and without a doubt the best-known woman in this county, passed away. She was regarded by all as the most lovable and the wildly-known member of the race, having lived right here for nearly one hundred years. At her death, it is reported that she was ninety-eight years of age. Something more than passing is noted in the life of Mrs. Hadley whose father, Mr. Tom Edmondson, became famous because of the dash that he made for liberty during the emancipation, but after being overtaken succeeded in purchasing his freedom. It was said then that he was near the Gulf of Mexico and had determined to go to Liberia. The grandfather of Mrs. Hadley was Mr. Jerry Benning, a free-born man, who followed the brick-layer trade in Nashville more than a hundred years ago. He and his wife lived on Wm. Perkins' plantation. She was known for miles around as Aunt Sucky. Mrs. Hadley's death occurred just one mile east of this place on the Franklin pike, and she was celebrated because of her deeds of charity and kindness of heart, as she had served as fostermother for scores of motherless and fatherless children. The funeral services took place at the family residence at 7 p.m., Rev. Tom Johnson officiating. The deceased leaves five children, thirteen grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren with a host of friends in both races.

Mr. Hill's speech met with tremendous applause. Resolutions were unanimously adopted, pledging unsurviving support to the candidacy or Theodore Roosevelt.
EXTENSION OF Y. M. C. A. WORK
IN NASHVILLE.
The Board of Directors of the Nashville Young Men's Christian Association is seeking to extend the helpful activities of the Association to the colored men of the city. The recent visits to Nashville of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the Hebrew philanthropist who is so genuinely interested in work for colored boys and young men, has stimulated the interest in this department of the Association work in Nashville as well as throughout the entire South. Mr. Rosenwald, it will be remembered, has offered to give $25,500 for the erection of a colored young men's association building provided $75,500 additional be raised for a similar purpose. It has not seemed wise to the Board of Directors of the Nashville Young Men's Christian Association to undertake the raising of a fund for a building in Nashville. The Board of Directors has, however, taken a step which ought to mean a great deal for the welfare of the colored boys and young men of the city.
For a number of years there has been an association among the colored men of the city, and much good work has been accomplished. This work has been in charge of competent colored men, but on account of lack of financial assistance, has had a very hard struggle. It has not been possible heretofore to secure the services of a competent, trained colored secretary for this important

work. The large interest which the Board of Directors of the Nashville Association has in the colored men of the community has resulted in the Board agreeing to make provision for the salary of an associative secretary for this department of the work. After careful search, considerable investigation, and on the recommendation of the International Committee, a call has been extended to Wm. N. Sanders, of Columbia, S. C. Mr. Sanders has accepted the call, and is now on the field. The new secretary for the colored work is a native of South Carolina, a college graduate, and has had considerable experience in teaching and in special religious work. He comes highly recommended and is believed to be the right man for the place.
The membership of the colored association has already conferred with Mr. Sanders and arrangements are being made by the pastors of the colored churches for a large public mass-meeting, full announcement of which will be made at a later date.
Warrior, Ala., April 15.—The Presbytery just closed was quite interesting as well as a success, being well represented, and several visiting ministers from other churches were present and gave us their co-operation and encouragement.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR THE CONGRESS.
Seventh Annual Session of the Sunday-School Congress Promises Great Things. Meeting at Tuskegee, June 5th-10th, 1912.
Nashville, Tenn:
This was the busiest week ever seen at the Sunday-School Congress Headquarters in this city, since it was announced that the Seventh Annual Session of the Congress would be held in Tuskegee. This state of affairs was brought about on account of the announcement that the S. E. P. A., with headquarters at Atlanta, Ga., announced through their chairman, Mr. Jos. Richardson, that the Association had granted excursion fares to Tuskegee, Alabama on account of the Sunday-School Congress. All Congress workers residing in the city have expressed themselves as highly pleased with the showing that the workers would make with this encouragement from the railroads.
The Secretary when seen stated that the rate made was one fare rate and the cost of the tariff and that this special rate guaranteed a large attendance. When asked what he meant by the S. E. P. A. he stated that it was that portion of the United States lying east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers. The gateways to this Association, says the Secretary, are New Orleans and Baton Rouge, La.; Natchez, Vicksburg and Greenville, Miss.; Memphis, Tenn.; Calro, Ill.; St. Louis Mo.; Evansville, Ind.; Louisville, Ky.; Cincinnati, Ohio and Washington, D. C.
It is learned further that these tickets to Tuskegee will be sold on account of the Congress, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, June 3rd, 4th and 5th. These tickets will be good for ten days or midnight, June 13th.
Nashville is rejoicing over the fact that it has been made a stop over point to those delegates living in the North or East who will pass through Nashville en route to Tuskegee. This tariff provides for two days' stop over on the return trip.
The Tuskegee people according to the Secretary have already perfected a local organization which has for its aim to make the stay of the messengers and attendants at the Congress both profitable and pleasing. All persons thinking of attending the Congress should write Dr. Booker T. Washington. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama notifying him of their intention or send their name and address to Henry Allen Boyd Nashville, Term. Secretary of this Movement, 15,000 schools are expected to represent at the Congress this year.
PROF. HOPE OF ATLANTA
PROF. HOPE OF ATLANTA.
For three days this week, Prof. John Hope, A. M., the president of the Atlanta Baptist College, was in the city of Nashville. The bulk of time, however, was spent at Fisk University, where a series of lectures were made by him to the student body. Hardly a man comes to the city whose popularity exceeds that of President Hope. The fact that he was a teacher at the old Roger Williams University when it was located on the Granny White pike, and operated under the auspices of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, made for him a host of friends in the capital of the Volunteer State. There was great rejoicing in Nashville when the news reached here of his election as president of Atlanta Baptist College, and upon the recent honors conferred by Brown University, his alma mater.
Prof. Hope has the distinction of being the first Negro who served as president of one of the big Baptist Home Mission Society Schools. While here he witnessed the graduating exercises of Meharyar Medical, Pharmaceutical and Dental Colleges at Ryman Auditorium, Tuesday night, as several members of the class are Prof. Hope was the guest of Prof. alumni of Atlanta Baptist College, and Mrs. Haynes, of Fisk University. He also naid a visit to Roger Williams and was entertained at dinner by P.R. S. White, of Fourteenth avenue, North Prof. Hope addressed a public mass-meeting on Wednesday

G. HAMILTON FRANCIS AT NOR- FOLK.
The commencement exercises that have just closed bring to the minds of the Nashville people that every year scores of young men go out from Meharry and make good in the professional world. There is hardly a month but that information about the success attained by some young man or woman from some class of Meharry is carrying the standard and work of that school into other states, measuring arms and oftimes outstanding those from other schools. Notable among the characters, who are well and favorable known in Nashville, is that of G. Hamilton Francis, M. D., now located at Norfolk, Va. It is said that Dr. Francis has taken his place in the Old Dominion State by the side of others who are far ahead of him in point of years as practitioners. Notwithstanding these facts, it will be remembered that the state board of examiners stopped in the midst of their examination to pay him a splendid compliment last year when he extered the competitors' examination. Other Meharryites who are in Norfolk are Drs. D. W. Byrd, A. Lyman Paey, F. N. Harris and J. A. Burke. These greeted a Globe representative who was in Norfolk this week attending the Baptist State Convention.
Y. M. C. A. BALLY.
Sundav afternoon, April 28th, at 3 o'clock, at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, there will be a mass-meeting of the Y. M. C. A. It is hoped that men women and children will come out in large numbers to listen to the discussion of topics which have a particular bearing upon the every day life. Practical men have been secured to handle practical subjects. Prof. J. W. Work will be responsible for the music. Invocation by Rev. S. L. Howard.
The topics will be as follows: "The Duty of the Young Man to the Church;" "The City's Duty to the Young Man;" "The Relation of the Ministry to Social Uplift;" "The Association's Contribution to the Church;" "The Debt of the City to Our Young Men from the Country;" "Some Essentials of Association Work and the Metropolitan Plan;" "A New Epoch in Our Nashville association." All of which will be discussed by the following men, respectively: Rev. Presley Taylor, Rev. S. Jackson, Dr. C. H. Clark, Prof. Geo. E. Haynes, Rev. W. S. Ellington, Mr. J. B. Watson, Rev. R. T Weatherby and Mr. A. T. Williams. Benediction by Father A. F. Coombs.
Dr. Clark has kindly granted the use of his church and to give his service as well. His treatment of the subject, "The Relation of the Ministry to Social Uplift," will be instructive. He has done a deal of practical work along this line.
RALLY AT BRADEN CHAPEL.
The Sunday services at Braden Memorial Methodist Church were well tended. A special program was rendered in the afternoon by Club No. 1. Principal among the speakers were: Dr. A. M. Townsend, whose subject was "How to Reach the Unreachable Through the Sunday-School," W. W. Williams, whose remarks were instructive; and Dr. R. F. Boyd, who eulogized the life of John Braden. Additional remarks were made by Dr. J. H. Holman and Rev. J. H. Hones. Capt. Pennington, the Chief Marshal of Finances of the church, happily announced that Club No. 1 would place to its credit $17.00.

NEWS FROM THE FAR WEST
Atoka, Okla.—One who has never breathed the western air nor enjoyed a sojourn on its plains amidst its beautiful sceneries and beheld the sun as it sinks behind the western hills, cannot fully enjoy reading "Rosevelt's Winning of the West." To these favorable climates the old and indum come for rest of limbs and peace of mind; the invalid for recuperation; the farmer to pay his respects to the rich and cheap land which has been going to waste for nearly a century, and capital that it may unlose from the bowels of the earth untold riches. We have been slumbering, but are now awakening. In this section is raised corn, cotton and wheat, besides its abundant output of coal and asphalt, oil has been found near this point on the premise of colored men. To the self-respecting Negro the door of hope is always open; the shiftness ones are constantly a menace to society. I believe, however, this class can be rallied through the medium of a thoroughly organized ministry, press and school. This shiftlessness is largely the outcome of the idleness of our boys and girls, which breeds into crime. Look and think of the thousands of boys and girls that are turned out as graduates yearly with no certain position and no leaning to ward manual labor. Can we not wonder at the appalling condition that confronts us?
We are glad to note that the school officials of today are offering a practical education to its youths. Education that fits for citizenship and prepares for a livelihood. Theory without demonstration cannot withstand the test in this moving wave of progress. Our men of means are now establishing enterprises, giving our
boys and girls employment as they finish from these educational institutions.
The greatest sign of progress I observed in Tennessee is the uniting of the educational forces of the State, and each division into a compact something. It meant a new order of things and more effective teaching force and a better supervision of the Negro schools of the State—a matter so long neglected.
Dunbar High School, at this point, of which the writer is principal, has procured the services of Hon. Wm. Harrison, A. M., LL. D., to deliver the annual address before the population of this city the second Sunday in May, and before the graduating class, the first in the history of the school. The city will turn out in full to hear—the faculty of the white schools of the city, the School Board as well as many of the prominent whites of the city will be in attendance. The new Opera House has been tendered us for use. The School Board is planning to add Domestic Science Department to our school.
Respectfully,
J. B. MCCUTCHEON.

The beauty of the music, the enthusiasm of the occasion and the tremendous ovation given by the audience marked this as one of the greatest religious events that ever took place in the city of Nashville. The Chorus rendered throughout the evening nothing but songs and music written, arranged, set to music and turned out by Negro musicians, authors and printers. The very music itself was a revelation to many in the audience who have lived for years in Nashville. Such splendid anthems as "Princes Awake," the words of which came from the secretary of one of the Boards, and music by the late Prof

Wm. Rosborough, was one of the treats of the evening, while "Let Us All Give Thanks," by J. H. Carter, and "Hall the Baptist Congress," both the productions of Negroes now living, and turned out by a publishing concern in the city of Nashville, were rendered with equal effect and precision. The selections of the chorus and the music rendered by the Cantata were taken from two high-class song books and a collection of anthems.
A treat of the evening was the timely address of Chairman Clark, who went into the details of the struggle of the denomination during his twentiety years' residence and pastorate in Nashville; another was the sermon ete by Dr. Ellington, who electrified the audience, injecting more religious fervor into the occasion. The solo by Dr. Bushell and wife were much enjoyed. Not a member of the vas audience appeared to be anxious for the concluding of the program, a many lingered after the last selection had been rendered. It is reported that the success of this effort has encouraged the Baptist pastors, superintendents and members of the Sunday School Union to pull off a similar meeting in midsummer. The committee already, it is said, has plans under advisement for such an affair.
