VIII. 13th ANNUAL C MENT OF UNI SEVENTEEN GRADUAT TISTRY, PHAMACY, The Unversity Chapel Was W Specta DR. SEVIER MAKES FIRST CONTRIBUTION FOR FISK UNIVERSITY. Early Monday morning Dr. Wm. Sevier, Professor of Pharmacy at McHarry Medical College, came into the Globe office and made the first contribution of $1 to the Fisk fund. Dr. Sevier said that he read the article in the Nashville Globe and was moved to act at once. This was the beginning of what is hoped to be a great awakening on the part of the Negroes in Nashville in the interest of Fisk University. The friends of education in the north are waiting to see first of all what the Negroes of the south, who have been aided for fifty years along educational lines, will do for themselves. As was stated in last week's issue, the Alumni of Fisk University are making strenuous efforts to raise a large portion of the $240,000 that is to be raised before the $60,000 can be secured from the American Missionary Association. This work has been pressed for several months, but a new activity is being put forth now in the hope that a creditable showing may be realized by the time of commencement. It is hoped by those in charge of the campaign that before this year is out the whole of the $240,000 will be raised. Dr. Sevier said that he realized fully that the Negroes of the south must take care of their educational institutions and that this small contribution is not all that he contemplates giving, but it was merely to show that he was interested in the University. ENDOWMENT BUREAU KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS MEETS IN BLUFF CITY Special to the Globe. Memphis, Tenn., April 26.—The Endowment Bureau of the Knights of Pythias of Tennessee met here today to transact the business of the forty-third quarter. The members of the board present were W. S. Thompson, Nashville, president; A. Thomas Hill, Pulaski, secretary; Wayman Wilkerson, Memphis, treasurer; U. W. Richardson, Chattanooga; T. G. Robinson, Dyersburg; J. P. Crawford, Nashville; B. F. Booth, Memphis, and J. W. Whitfield, Murreesboro. A deal of business was transacted and the condition of the order was shown to be splendid. The Pythians of Memphis took special pain to entertain the board while here. After all business was transacted an elaborate banquet was tendered them. A program was carried out that was delightful to all present. The following Knights made remarks on this occasion: J. C. Jones, R. A. Dortch, U. W. Richardson, W. S. Thompson, Dr. J. P. Crawford. The special address was delivered by Col. Roscoe Simmons, Past Grand Chancellor of New York State, but now editor of The Memphis, the paper just started in this city. Col. Simmons is a born orator and he thrilled the hearts of the Pythians on this occasion with his wit and wisdom. The grand supper was spread which consisted of the following menu: spaghetti, salmon croquets, ham sandwich, punch, coffee and cigars. After the banquet there was a pleasant handshaking among the members of the Board. All departed to their homes looking forward to the coming Grand Lodge. The members of the order in general as far as could be learned are well pleased with the present administration, and if the same feeling continues until the Grand Lodge meets, it is believed that not a single change will be made in the next meeting in June. DR. BUSHELL CONDUCTS REVIVAL IN MEMPHIS. Memphis, Tennessee, April 26.—A great revival has just closed at the First Baptist Church on St. Paul avenue, this city, which was conducted by Dr. J. Davenport Bushell, of Nashville, Tenn. He was ably tassisted by Mrs. Bushell, a singer of rare culture, who always sends a message to the hearts of her hearers. More than one hundred and fifty were converted at this meeting. Rev. T. O. Fuller, pastor, is a faithful worker and is untiring in his efforts for the uplift of humanity. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. "How to Pay a Great Debt of Gratitude" will be the subject of Rev. W. S. Ellington's discourse Sunday morning. Addresses of Graduates Timely—Dr Sutton E. Griggs Principal Speaker Memphis, Tenn., April 30.—The thirteenth annual session of the University of West Tennessee Medical College was held last night in the University chapel, in the presence of over one thousand spectators. The exercises were late beginning, owing to the crowded condition. It was with much difficulty that the people were seated. At 9:30 o'clock the members of the class marched in and took their places on the rostrum. Every one received hearty cheers as they filed on the platform. Dr. M. V. Lynk, President of the University, announced the first number on the program as music by the Second Baptist Church choir. Invocation by Prof. Brown. After another song, the salutatorian, Mr. Frederick Ross, was introduced, who delivered a splendid address on Tuberculosis. Mr. Robert Wesley Wallace, Dental Valedictorian, spoke on "Dental Prosthesis." "The Physician's Duties and Relation to the Community," was the subject of the Medical Valedictorian, Mr. Jones Antonia Price, of Panama. Two special solos, one by Miss Vick som and the other by Miss Stephens, were of a high order, and brought forth great applause. At this juncture Dr. Lynk introduced Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, A.M. D.D. Secretary of the Baptist Convention, who delivered the principal address of the evening. Dr. Griggs said in part: "One of the chief objects of our presence here to night is to appreciate the founder of this school. I hope that in the near future our people will more appreciate his efforts. "We are here not because we honor Dr. Lynk, but for the great effort he has put forth for people. Not only that, but in appreciation of the class that finishes to night. They have had to struggle much, yet through it all they have succeeded. The great sacrifices that our people have made should make them great. "Splendid qualities in the Japanese to grapple with the surroundings and be successful so have we among our race, some men that will do any kind of work in order to get an education. "Not only shall we ask that our physicians be progressive but confidential. I have known physicians that have complained of their failure in practice and this was due to the confidence lost with his patient. "What is the purpose of these physicians as they go out on their career? Is it to become rich? This should not be. The Bible plainly thunders forth, "Be not deceived," etc. "Along with the ministers of the gospel the physician should be placed. As the physician goes along his career healing the physical body, so can he help him along spiritually." "My concluding thoughts to the young physician as he goes among the wives and daughters is, do not so deport yourself that you will have to call upon the higher powers to forgive you for your immoral acts. "A physician should be a progressive individual, not content with what they have received in school." At the conclusion of the address the conferring of degrees was performed by the president. There were two ladies in the class: Miss Laura May Thomas, graduate in Dentistry, and Mrs. Ida Dora Harlan, in Nurse-Training. Mrs. Harlan was at one time clerk in the Nashville Globe office, but this year finishes in Nurse-Training, to take up that line of work. A prize that was offered by a former graduate who is a Panamanian, was won by Mr. Price, who is also a native of that country. The presentator said that it was with much difficulty that the committee was able to make the decision, as several members of the class had shown exceptional ability. Dr. Price won only by one half point. Another prize was won by Miss Laura Thomas, of the Dental class. Many prizes were presented to the graduates, which sent them home cheerful and laden with gifts. Members of the faculty of West Tennessee University of Medicine are as follows: M. V. Lynk, M. S., M. D. LL. B. President, Materia Medica, Physi- ology and Bacteriology. C. A. Terrell, M. D., Surgery; Chief Surgon to Negro Baptist Hospital. (Continued on page 8.) NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY MAY 2, 1913. ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH HOLDS GREAT RALLEY - WIND UP JUBILEE WITH FINANCIAL SUCCESS Over $1,000 Collected—Old Members of the Church Few and Far Between—Only Five of the Founders can be Located in this City. The Golden Jubilee of St. John A. M. E. Church wound up Monday night with a beautiful doll contest. A large gathering of the members were on hand to join in the glorious celebration of the fifthth anniversary of the celebrated church. Previous to the contest the officers and pastor met and counted up the reports of the rally, which totaled something over $1,000. This amount was raised by the splendid organizations outlined by Dr. Porter. It was carried out in a very unique form and stamped him as a successful financier. At the services Sunday morning the several captains were sent out among the people to collect the donations from the members and friends, which was a departure from the old way of taking up rally collections. They went about their duties as quietly as if they were having a social chat. When they had all finished they returned to their seats and a public offering was lifted. In spite of the inclement weather a large crowd was out and the keenest interest was manifested. At every service Sunday the same spirit was in evidence. Mention must be made of the splendid music that was rendered by the choir at these services. This church has a choir of young people that cannot be excelled. Special mention is due to be made of the solo work of Miss Nannie Rhodes, who sang on this occasion. She brought tears to the eyes of many in the audience. The morning sermon was preached by Rev. W. H. Shelby, presiding elder of the Central Tennessee Circuit. In the afternoon several of the visiting pastors made short talks and with their congregations added much to the spiritual and financial life of the meeting. Dr. Porter announced during the morning service that if it were possible to get the living members of the number who founded the church together, on Monday night he would give them a banquet of which the church would be proud. It was not possible to get them out as they are very feeble. A fact was brought out Sunday morning that is not generally known. There are only a few of the original members that can be found in this city. So far, only two of the charter members can be found. They are Mrs. Nancy James, on Blank street, and Mrs. Mary Randolph, on State street, who is 80 years old. It was thought that Father Grundy was one of the charter members, but he says himself that he was not. He came in, however, shortly after the organization. Rev. Felix Mays is another one of the old members of the church but was not a member when it was organized. There may be others somewhere, and maybe in this city, but the pastor and officers have been unable to locate them so far. In a recent issue of the Globe the names of every pastor were given, but the dates of the years of their pastorage could not be ascertained. Some of the most noted men in the African Methodist Church have pastored this charge, and there are living today two bishops and one General officer who were once at this church. They are Bishop Shaffer, of Chicago, and Bishop Tyree, of Nashville, and Dr. S. L. Howard, who was elected Secretary of the Evangelistic Bureau of the A. M. E. Church last May. He was at that time pastoring St. John. Dr. G. W. Porter, the present pastor, enjoys the happy distinction of being the pastor at this time of the fiftieth anniversary. The history of this church is one that the people of Nashville are proud of. They have aided in its struggles and have assisted the members in accomplishing a great good. The whole city of Nashville and state of Tennessee, for that matter, rejoiced with them; for they love this church and are all glad of its prosperity. Dr. Porter, Sunday morning, held in his hand a bundle of fifty letters received from a bundle of fifty letters and from over the country expressing to him their congratulations and a hope that the Jubilee would be a success from every point of view. TENNESSEE CHEMICAL EMPLOY EES ORGANIZE. The Christian people of West Nashville are being organized into a church and Sunday-school. Rev. T. T. Stone of Mt. Nebo is preaching for Sunday-school work are as folthem. The newly elected officers lows: Superintendent, Mrs. Sallie Donald; Mrs. Annie Hower, secretary.

CONCERNED ABOUT LIBRARY INTERESTED TO KNOW WHERE IT WILL BE LOCATED Belief is Given That Suitable Site Will Be Centered Upon Increasing Opinion For a Central Location—Members of Board of Trade Opposed to the Site Mentioned. Every day the opinion is increasing that the Library Commission will not locate the colored branch of the Library at the corner of Twelfth avenue and Hynes street. This belief is gaining ground from the fact there is not a single member on the Commission now, who feels that it would be doing justice to the Negro citizens of this city to place the Library where it will not be of the greatest benefit to all the people. This belief is entertained because there is an apparent settlement in favor of a central location. The spirit of fairness that is always predominant in this city is no less in this Library case than it has been in all other cases that affects the colored people of this city. The Negroes themselves have manifested a deep interest in this matter. Information comes from many personal conversations between employee and employer, of some colored man asking his white friends and employers to use his influence to persuade the Commission not to place the Library in this undesirable location. The fact brought out in last week's Globe of the number of disreputable houses between Cedar and Church streets has set tongues to wagging afresh, and created a healthy sentiment in favor of a central location. Many of the members of the Board of Trade and several who were on a special committee to raise $1,000 to go toward the purchasing of a site have expressed themselves as approving the Twelfth avenue and Hynes street site. Many have said that they voted to accept that because they were afraid that if they did not they would not get anything; but since they have learned that the Commission and the leading white people of Nashville are desirous of doing the very best they can for the colored people in this matter, they realize that the Library proposition is not being considered lightly, but is receiving serious consideration at the hands of the best people of the city. The prime promoters of the proposed site have been compelled to heed the complaints of the people, and see their folly in endeavoring to throw upon the masses what they do not want. From every angle the outlook is most favorable for a change in the location and a final settlement on a spot that will be satisfactory to every Negro in this city. BISHOP J. H. JONES OF WILBER FORCE, O. To Preach at Payne Chapel, East Nevada, Md. (411) 254-7777 Nashville, May 4th, 11 a.m. Bishop Joshua H. Jones of the 9th Episcopal District of the A. M. E. Church will preach at Payne Chapel, East Nashville, Sunday 11 a.m., May 4, 1913. Quite a large congregation will be present to hear this eminent divine. Bishop Jones has for many years been a great leader in the A. M. E. Connection. He was elected to the bishopric at the 24th quadrennial session-General Conference, African Methodist setting in Kansas City, Mo. May, 1912 and assigned to the 9th Episcopal District including Tennessee and Alabama. Everybody is invited to come and hear Bishop Jones at 11 a.m. Dr. H. L. P. Jones, pastor and the official staff of Payne Chapel have instituted a great rally of thirty clubs for June 29, 1913. The pastor and church are endeavoring to have the foundation of new Payne Chapel laid in May. Quite a nice program will be rendered on ground-breaking day. Notices will be issued to all in due time. RAILWAY ASSOCIATION MAKING IMPROVEMENTS.. The Railway Employees' Protective Association with headquarters at the corner of Tenth avenue and Cedar street, is making extensive improvements on their building. The interior and exterior has been painted and varnished and a dining-room with new furniture has been fitted up, and also the kitchen utensils. The lawn is set with beautiful flowers together with the swings and a heavy foliage of blue grass makes the premises present a most beautiful appearance. The touch of the calceminer's brush is also in evidence, which makes the headquarters of the Railway Association the center of attraction in that community. Mr. L. E. Connor, Jr., who has been confined to his room for the last six weeks with an injured limb, is some better. OKLAHOMA CITY AGAIN IN THE LIME LIGHT MAKING STRONG BID FOR NATIONAL BAPTIST SEMINARY Will Give Big Tract of Land---Cash Bonus in Addition---Nashville May Loose the Institution Western Neighbors Very Active— Secretary Griggs Non- Committal. Failure to take definite action upon the location of the proposed National Baptist Theological Seminary by the Educational Board, which called its meeting at Memphis several weeks ago, is said to be responsible for renewed activity on the part of several capitalists and prominent real estate men who are identified with the Baptists of the state and nation in the city of Oklahoma to secure the location of the Theological Seminary, indorsed and voted to be established in Nashville, Tenn., by the Convention proper. It seems that the Theological Seminary proposition among the Negro Baptists, as far as can be learned, has been a see-saw question, once you see it, now you not see, once it is to be established, now it is not to be established. But according to the latest developments, a land concern headed by Mr. Capp Jefferson, of Oklahoma City, Okla., in addition to offering a ten-acre site with ten thousand dollars to the additional property to locate this schol in Oklaahoma City to occupy the beautiful suburb of Smithville, is proposing now to give an additional seven thou sand dollars to the National Baptist Convention, to be divided one thou sand dollars each among the severa Boards. Capp Jefferson declared, however, in a letter to one of the leading Baptists in this city, that neither his company nor the city of Oklahoma would contest for the location of the school against Nashville, if Nashville was in the race. But, that if the capital of Tennessee was not in the race, Oklahoma City would re-enter to fight it out on its merits. In addition to the seventeen thousand dollars now offered in cash, together with the ten-acre tract, one thousand dollars additional is to go to the National Training School located in Washington, D. C., operated by the Women's Auxiliary of the Convention, and twenty-five per cent on the sale of ole hundred thousand dollars worth of real estate in and about Oklahoma is to be applied to the bid for the school proper. Mr. Jefferson, the promoter of Smithville, presents a further offer from one of the leading railroads in the state of Oklahoma that they will establish a first-class station on the school grounds for the handling of passengers and freight, giving four passenger trains service per day. The gentleman in question declared he was not prepared to give out any further facts until the National Baptist Convention and the Educational Board proper had acted upon the matter. But he stated he felt safe in saying that Capp Jefferson, the gentleman through whom the offer came for him to present to the Executive Board, would be perfectly willing to stand by all of the propositions made. The Secretary of the Educational Board was in Nashville last week, but made no public announcement relative to the Theological Seminary. The proposition will most likely be an off of the live issues to come up before the National Convention next September, when they convene here in annual session and to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the race. CAPITAL CITY BASEBALL LEAGUE ORGANIZED. Wednesday night at the Nashville Globe office the Capital City Baseball League was organized, consisting of amateur teams in the city.

He first spoke of the mission fields, West Africa, South Africa, South America, and the Islands. It was decided that the Secretary should visit the Island work during the year, studying conditions and seeing the actual needs. "Africa must be redeemed as well as the other fields within our borders," he said, "and I am glad to say that our people are taking hold and contributing of their means to the work. I have only words of praise for our bishops, general officers, presiding elders, pastors, laymen and members and friends who have contributed in any way to the success of our missionary efforts.

Heard we have Sierra Leone conference with 11 ordained ministers; one unordained minister; four missionary teachers; 600 members; the Liberian conference, 16 ordained ministers; three unordained ministers; three missionary teachers;501 members; five churches built.

"The report f the auditing committee showed that the books were in fine condition and the receipts for the department for the year amounted to $31,729.09, and the expenses amounted to $30,281.60, including the salaries paid to missionaries and workers. ed treasurer.

Ewing and Stephen McCall. Saturday, May 17, was set as the day for the opening of the League. Four games will be played each Saturday in different parts of the city on the grounds selected by the Committee. The League will have competent officials in charge of each game and a record of percentages will be kept. At the end of the season a pennant will be awarded and next season a flag will be hoisted by the winning team on the opening day.

Ne eee, ee en ey ‘The city of Nashville offers oppor- tunities of many kinds, In fact there Js an opportunity in this municipality for every man and every woman who will avail themselves of It, There is one opportunity that is offered to all but which many are rejecting, namely, the opportunity to be good citizens, ‘There are two fundamental prinel- ples that every individual must have if they want to be good citizens, namely: honesty and industry, Every man should work six days in every week in the year if he can, Many of ‘our Negro citizens of this city have not yet gotten out of the idea that half of Saturday and all day Monday should be given over to eating, drink- ing and frocklicing, having what they call a good time, This fault is proving very detrimental, We are now approaching the picnic season and we feel it our duty to call attention to the fault that has been mentioned above. Pienies are for women and children, The man who expects to make a decent living for his family, and who hopes to please his employer cannot go to every pic- nic he hears about. The churches and lodges have the pienies, because it is essential to their business. ‘The churches have pienies because they feel that they owe it to the Sunday: fchool children, they also feel that the women of the chureh should be given an opportunity to spend a day in the country, breathing the pure air and reveling in nature's beauty. ‘The lodges give pienies to make money, Both of these agencles are working to an end, and should be commended, but the pienie habit that is mmdulged in so much by our lodges is harmful to the people, The ehureh should give a picnic for the children and women who can go, and for that matter, the men who can afford to go but laboring conditions are such now that men who are conducting business are compelled to have thelr help every day in the week and as man} days in the year as they possibly can, and for these reasons we say every man should put his work before picnics, After working and earning a dolllar he should pay his honest debts; if he cannot pay them he should not make them. The credit system is a bad system in any sense of the word, ‘True there come times when it is abso lutely necessary to ask for a favor but so many people would be better off if they would pay for a thing a the time it is bought. ‘The men whe have goods to sell count in all the interest and bonus before they pul the goods on the market, and the cus tomer who buys on installment pays a dear price, in many cases, fo what he gets, As a rule the credi customer cannot have much becaus his expenses are too heavy. Cond) tions in Nashville are such that ever} industrious man has an opportunity to work and make money to sustai himself and family if they will ont grasp the opportunity and use 1 wisely. The History of Tennessee. ‘There are scores of people in this state who do not know the history of it. Many of them are not to blame for not having more knowledge of their own home state, for they have read many books that are called Ten- nessee Historles, but in many cases ‘they were written by men who knew very little of the state, and who were §nelined to be prejudiced toward the South, Many of the histories of this state have been written by Northern men who got their knowledge too often second handed and being in another stction of the country, they could not have that abiding interest in ‘Tennes- see that one should have to write its true history. ‘Tennesseans are to blame for this, Some of the most able scholars that the country has produced have come from the Volun- teer State, Some of them have pre- pared manuscripts, but the Northern publishers have not cared to publish them as they were written, and Southern publishers have not shown that interest in their section of the country that would {mpell them to take up this ciass of work. Further- more, the large publishing concerns in the North with their glaring line advertisements have beguiled the peo- ple in the South to accept the books they publish as being true history of the South, and In this way the peo- ple of Tennessee and other Southern states haye trampled under foot the true history of the South and have accepted those prepared by men, the Qrst of all who do not know, aud second, who had a degree of sectional prejudice, Tennessee has a great history, not only of her white citizens, but of her black citizens as well, and it ought to be presented. Literary associations should be ext couraged, and the people of Tennes- see should be made to understand that it they ever intend to have a true history of their state, they must see to it that thelr historian is a son of their own soil; and then they must see to it that their history 1s pub- shed as written, and that history should be bought by the people of the state for whom it was prepared, ‘The Democratic Administration. ‘As the National Congress progress- es the unrest among the people be- comes more apparent. It is generally believed that a financial and commer- clal crisis will be broadcast in the na- tion in a few months. The people have been assured by President Wil- son that he will not favor any laws that would in his judgment disturb the business of the country, but since the new tariff, known as the Under- wood Bill, has begun to be discussed, the unrest becomes more general. The tariff problem is more com- plexed now than it was a quarter: of a century ago. The South has de- veloped and with that development have grown up different views on the tariff question. The tariff bill is go- ing to be stubbornly fought, and from every angle it appears very uncertain. ‘True, both houses of Congress are Democratic, but to be a Democrat now does not necessarily mean a free trader, It was clearly demonstrated four years ago that the extreme south. ern whites do not want free trade, and this fact put a decidedly differ ent light on the subject, HARTSVILLE NOTES. Farmers are busy planting corn; tobacco plants are reported to be very scarce in some sections. Clover crops are fine, but wheat crops are not so good at present.

M. C. A. Convention which meets in Cincinnati May 15-18.

DON'T FORGET THE DATE BE SURE TO REMEMBER THE PLAN With The Fourth Estate. Neway Notes of Newspaper Workers, Compiled under the Direction of the National Negro Press Association. A meeting of the special sub- committee of the National Negro Press Association will be held May 10th, at Cape May, N. J., to consider a program and other important questions in connection with the annual meet- ing of the Association next August. By invitation of Mr. E. W. Dale, proprietor of the famous Hotel Dale, the Association will hold one of its sessions in Cape May, August 18, to be followed by other sessions at Philadelphia August 19th. The Dallas Express unsparingly condemns those of our people who refuse to subscribe for a dignified colored paper, and yet rush out to patronize white sheets which refer to them contemptuously as a "Sambo," "darky" and "coon." ```markdown ``` Speaking of the progressive spirit found among the colored people of the Northwest, Dr. Booker T. Washington, just returned from a tour of the states of Washington, Oregon, Montana and other portions of the Pacific country, says: "In proportion to the population, the standard monthly magazines and high-type weekly publications have a larger circulation, I think, in the West than in the East. It is not only true that the white people are great readers, but the same is equally true of the colored people. They know what is going on in the world, and anyone who comes into this part of the United States expecting to find ignorance will soon be deceived." That this is highly encouraging goes without saying. *** The qualifications of a membership in the Association; the number of representatives allowed to a publication paying the initiation fee of one dollar; the revision of the constitution and a tentative draft of a program are among the points that will occupy the attention of the subcommittee of the N. N. P. A. at Cape May next month. Bishop B. T. Tanner disapproves of the acceptance by our papers of "ads" exploiting the virtues of the hair-straighteners, face-bleachers and fortune-tellers. The fellows who have to fix up the pay roll for the employees on Saturday night take a more liberal view of the question. The Chisolm News Service, which dispenses news about colored people for the colored papers in and about Texas, has joined hands with the National Negro Press Association. It is a creditable enterprise and should be generously supported by our papers everywhere. The bright side of the Negro's life and character will be given a fair showing only when we have developed means among ourselves for the distribution of the facts that redound to our advantage as a people. The Progressive Age, or Omaha, Nebraska, has suspended. Daniel Murray's "Encyclopedia of the Colored Race," upon which he has spent the better part of fifteen years, is now ready for distribution. Since 1871, Mr. Murray has been an assistant in the Library of Congress and has been in a position to get hold of the most reliable matter concerning the rise, progress and achievements of the race along every line of endeavor. The work is very complete and is a valuable addition to the literature of the country touching the Negro people. Mr. Murray is one of Washington's largest property owners and is in all respects a public-spirited citizen, as well as a writer of practical history. *** J. H. Murphy, the veteran editor of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, recently made a tour of the South, for recreation, observation and study. His letters to his paper, describing conditions, as he saw them, in the principal centers of Negro population in Dixie land have been very interesting and instructive. They contained much that gave us hope and much that caused the Negro to pause and think seriously of what the future may bring forth. In the main, however, the race, as observed by Mr. Murphy, showed substantial gains, both in education and material possessions, and the balance is on the right side. Upon his return to his home town, Mr. Murphy was tendered a big banquet by the Masons, of which he is a bright and shining light, and his address on that occasion stands out as one of the most luminous and helpful deliverances ever presented to a Baltimore audience. --- Henry Allen Boyd, corresponding secretary of the National Negro Press Association, is a busy man these days. Besides bearing the lion's share of the burdens of the Press Association, he has on his hands the bulk of the promotion work of the National Baptist Sunday-School Congress, which meets in Muskogee, Okla., in June. He is one of the motor forces of the National Baptist Publish House, the drive wheel of the National Negro Doll Company, which is now taking orders for next Christmas, a powerful factor in the Nashville Globe and the National Baptist Union-Review; and has a plenty to do in connection with other enterprises of which space forbids further at this time. Mr. Boyd is one of the most useful young men in this country, and a brilliant future awaits him. ☆ ☆ ☆ Mr. N. B. Dodson, editor of the Afro-American page published by the American press Association, has the sympathy of the entire craft in the loss of his father, Mr. Armstead W. Dodson, who died a fortnight ago in Boydown, Va., aged about seventy-five years. The elder Dodson had a piquesure career, and the story of his experiences with his master, an officer in the Conferedrate army, his capture by the soldiers under Lee and his sensational escape, followed by a ourney homeward of one hundred miles on foot, reads like a romance. SCHOOL CONGRESS Mr. Dodson conducted a fine farm at Boydown and gave all of his children a liberal education. The younger Mr. Dodson is an energetic Sunday-school and social settlement worker and is chairman of the executive committee of the N. N. P. A. His news service is regarded as one of the strongest agencies extant for the dissemination of the facts that make for solid race progress. * * * The local committee at Philadelphia, embracing practically all of the colored newspaper men of the Quaker City, is preparing already to give the brethren a royal reception in August. --- The new stationery, gotten out by the corresponding secretary, shows the change in the officier and the executive committee, as ordained by the February meeting at Philadelphia. The changes and omissions indicate that the Press Association has reached the point where it declines to carry anything but live timber. The books are constantly open for new members, and each week shows additions of an encouraging character. *** The Tri-State Times, the successor to the Tri-State News, of Salisbury Md., is now being published at Baltimore by Melvin J. Chisum. A larger field is afforded by the change of base. The staff of the Tri-State Times includes: M. J. Chisum, editor-in-chief; Joseph Edward Johnson, general manager; William H. Reverdy Johnson, circulation manager; James H. Bunday, press superintendent, with Edward McKim as assistant; the executive clerk and the private secretary to the editor is Miss Edna Ford, and the chief operator of the unotype-setting department is Miss Martha Penn. A printing and publishing business is carried on in connection with the newspaper. *** The flood 'interfered with the eastern circulation of the Indianapolis Freeman, and Manager Knox was compelled to send cards of explanation to hundreds of the agents and patrons of the paper. *** E. R. Elliott is acting as editor and manager of the Detroit Informer, in the absence at Washington of Editor James A. Ross. Mrs. Mary E. Bowers, of Windsor, Ontario, is associate editor and Mrs. R. P. Wise, of Detroit, is in charge of the society department. --- H. W. Rhea has assumed the editorial reins of the Illinois Chronicle at Chicago. Editor C. N. Love, of the Texas Freeman, Houston, Texas, has been on the sick list, but is recovering.

MUSKOGEE, JUNE 4-9, 1913 President Thompson again warns the press of the country against a number of irresponsible correspondents, who make a practice of sending out misleading letters from Washington and elsewhere for the purpose of grinding a personal axe. No paper can afford to give space to matter which has for its object the villification of some individual or a cause. None but clean and reliable correspondence should be permitted to enter the columns of our representative journals, and there should be full knowledge of who the writers are and what they stand for. It is one of the objects of the N. N. P. A. to check this anonymous letter abuse, which has crept into our journalistic system to a degree that threatens danger.

After holding two very important meetings, at which was considered in each meeting, advisability of attempting to continue as an organization the stockholders of the Tennessee Colored Fair Association decided Monday night to go into liquidation. It was stated in the meeting by some of the prominent workers in the movement, including the general manager, Rev. Preston Taylor and the secretary, Dr. J. B. Singleton, that the Fair had been a success from every point of view after the first year, which was regarded more as experiential than anything else; but it was deemed advisable that, because of certain conditions obtaining, to liquidate the Association. Hence, this course was adopted by the stockholders at their meeting at the One-Cent Savings Bank Monday night, not however, until a motion had been passed appointing a committee to recommend the disposition of the charter.

Writing from Salt Lake City, Utah, under the date of March 27, Dr. Eooker T. Washington in discussing the creed of the Mormon Church says, I had opportunity while here to discuss the Mormon Church with the important officers of the Mormon Church Bishop John M. Whittaker handed me as I was leaving St. Paul the following statement which contains in comprehensive form the creed of the Mormon Church as formulated in its "Articles of Faith." "1. We believe in God the Eternal Father, and in His Son Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. "2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgressions. This society was the first in America to give a complete rendition of Hiawatha. This will be the second time in Nashville that the complete Cantata has been rendered. The occasion will afford a rare opportunity to all. ANNUAL MEETING OF MEHARRY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION. The annual meeting of the Meharry Alumni Association was held in the medical building on Monday afternoon 21stukt, Dr. J. Stephens presiding Among the items of business was the election of officers for the ensuing year. The following were chosen: Dr. Voorhies, president; Dr. Wm. Sevier, vice president; Dr. J. A. Lester secretary; Dr. J. B. Singleton, treasurer. "3. We believe that, through the atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel. "4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are First, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of Hands for the Gift of the Holy Ghost. "5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by Prophecy, and by the laying on of hands," by those who are in authority, to preach the gospel and administer the ordinances thereof "6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the primitive church—namely: Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers, Evangelists, etc. "7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues etc. his paradisal glory. "8. We believe the Bible to be the work of God, as far as it is translated correctly, we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. "9. We believe all that God has revealed, and that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. "10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion will be built upon this (the American) continent; that Christ will reign personally upon earth, and that the earth will be renewed and receive his paradisical glory. "11. We claim the privilege of worshipping Almighty God according to the dictates of our conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may. "12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring and sustaining the law. "13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul. We believe all things, we hope all things', we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely or of good report or praiseworthy we seek after these things—Joseph Smith. Just to what extent this creed will appeal to our Methodist or Baptist brethren in the South I am not sure. While, as I have stated, I am not a Mormon and have no immediate intention of becoming one I am free to say that there is a good deal in this creed that appeals to me. If everybody in the world can live up to it, I do not believe it would make them much worse people, but I seriously question one's ability to do so. I have promised these Mormons and others to come into this country again to see more of them, and after I have done so I may have more to say. Before closing I think I ought to add that I can find no evidence of these people practicing polygamy at the present time, but with the old custom it seems it was common for a man to have several wives. Since that has been prohibited by Federal law each man seems to be obeying the law. This is possibly not true in the case of individuals who had more than one wife before the law was passed, but the Mormons are mighty interesting people. They believe in having a good time. Especially do they encourage their young people to have a good time. I suspect I will disgust our bishops and ministers when I say that it is a coming thing for dances among the young people to take place in the church building. This is not only permitted but encouraged. The church believes in religion. It also believes in business, and the leaders of the Mormon Church have the control of land, mines, banking concerns and factories. They say, and I think wisely, that economic progress must go hand in hand with religious progress. The Mormon Church is tremendously well organized. Aside from the matter of religion from a purely business standpoint it is worth while to study this organization. It keeps 2,000 missionaries constantly at work in various parts of the world.

The exercises in connection with the Anniversary were held in the College Church. Special music was rendered by the University Glee Club. The address of the occasion was delivered by S. Waters McGill, General Secretary of the Nashville Young Men's Christian Association. Mr. McGill's subject was "The World's Greatest Need" which he stated is Religious Leadership. The Spiritual references used in the address were from the Old Testament Prophets. Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. Mr. McGill's address in part was a follows: "The World's greatest need is for a man. When one looks upon a company of students such as gathered here, he is reminded of the old African proverb, "You may count the apples on a tree but you cannot count the trees in an apple." We may tell the number in this audience but we may not tell the influence upon lives which may go out from this audience. The two great parties represented in the political world spent anxious days in political conventions last year for the purpose of selecting men as leaders. The religious world is constantly in search of capable trained men for important posts of religious leadership. From the earliest days in the Garden of Eden, God has been in search of men All through the pages of the Old Testament History we see the traces of God's quest for a man. DOINGS AT A AND I.

Every individual boarding on the grounds and a large number of the day student boys turned out, in the afternoon to lend a hand in cleaning up and beautifying the lawn. HIGH HONOR FOR DR. BOYD. HIGH HONOR FOR DR. BOYD. News has just reached the city that Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., Secretary-Treasurer of the National Baptist Publishing Board of the National Baptist Convention, and President of the One-Cent Savings Bank, has been named as a member of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America to serve on the Special Committee on the Peace and Arbitration in connection with the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Celebration of the Treaty of Peace at Ghent. Notice of this appointment of Dr. Boyd on the Commission was signed by Mr. [Name] DR. R. H. BOYD, D. D., LL. D. Albert L. Lawson of New York. The Committee is composed of leading churchmen throughout the Country, and has its national office in the Clarendon Building of New York City. Dr. Boyd stated this week that he did not know what the duties of the members of the commission were, hence he had nothing to give out for publication, but, however, did confirm his appointment as a member of the commission. THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONGRESS OF THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION AND WHAT IT STANDS FOR By Rev. Wm. Johnson, D. D. Having watched the progress of the various departments of our grand old ship of state (the National Baptist Convention) with an interest born of heartfelt loyalty, for a period of fifteen years, and because it has been my honor and privilege to have enjoyed some degree of leadership (in an humble way) at the hands of the people, I deem it a duty incumbent upon me to begin here to speak and act in more tangible unison with those or our leaders who are bearing the burdons consequent to the development of our common cause. If there was ever a time when the real manhood of the convention should be profoundly interested in every phase of the denomination, indeed, it is now. Especially is this true with respect to the junior department of our national scheme, viz., the Sunday-School Congress. If the proposition that the offsprings of a household reflect the calibre of their ancestors, may be countenanced still, we are all morally and religiously responsible for the weal or woe of both of these adjuncts to our denominational family, in which connection, I beg to confess that my previous attitude has been characterized by a class of derealization that is both inexecutable and unpatriotic. These reflections, like Ban quo's ghost, haunt me in recent years, with a persistence as strong as the fabric of my spiritual nature. I often ask myself this question: How many of my kind of unpatriotic Baptist preachers fill our ranks? When we remember that we shall only pass this way once, if this reflection is sufficiently deeper than the surface of our spiritual natures, the current year will tell mightily in the way of moral and financial support to those of our brethren who are doing battle in our name. Our present opportunities are immensely broad; even more than commensurate with the most urgent needs of the cause in hand. The writer is an ardent admirer of the entire mechanism of our grand old ship, but it is the province of this article to deal with that ever progressive and significant side, which of late is so saliently affecting the Negro race in America. I have reference to the National Baptist Congress. It is here that the brain of the denomination is brought into that directness of contact that reflects the status of our denominational equipoise. Here the piggy and the giant meet on a common level the one rejoicing in a God-given opportunity to impart to those who have been less favored, the other exulting in the privilege growing out of MILITARY SCHOOL CONGRESS The Cap is well made of the very best white duck linen and nicely finished.

Percy Harris makes his debut with Manager Whittaker's Athletics and pitches great ball. The North Nashville Athletics defeated Turner Normal, of Shelbyville, in a fast snappy game by a score of 8 to 3. Each pitcher was at his best, working in mid-summer form.

Ave., N., Nashville, Tenn. 1 such rare condescensions. No Baptist, or for that matter, no man could have witnessed the session at Meridian without experiencing a new inspiration. One regretted feature here, however, was the illness of our own Dr. Boyd. We owe it to this great man to confess that the Congress was born of his resourceful mind. With Baptists everywhere this fact alone gives it a letter of credit. But aside from Dr. Boyd, the Congress stands for those principles and ideas that commend it to the favorable consideration of every man and woman whose heart is interested in the highest possible development of humanity. First, because it is the only real Sunday-school department of our national body. It is the opinion of the broadest minds of the age that, upon our Sunday-schools will are long devolve the burden of the old church; and since this is true, those of us who lay the least claim to leadership, cannot turn aside from any opportunity to make good in this branch of the church. The writer has closely identified with the Sunday-school for thirty years, and I think it due to the promoters of the Congress to acknowledge here that I get a closer insight to the real object and plan of Sunday-school work in the Congress than is possible through any other medium. Secondly, it stands for the larger utility of all our forces in such a manner as to not embarrass those who have not been favored with sufficient opportunity to know. I think it is agreed that our Congress is the greatest aggregation of exclusive Sunday-school workers on the continent, and therefore stands for more than any. Thirdly, it stands for a thoroughly prepared pulpit, which is easily the paramount need of the hour. Baptists cannot hope to take their place in the high forum of modern church life until their pulpits are able to do successful battle in any department of the church. The Sunday-school is the manufactory of the church. The little fellow of to-day is (by virtue of future growth and ability) the logical occupant of our places to-morrow. The real pastor recognizes this fact, and appreciates the privilege which the Congress affords to enable him to bequeath to his successor a position whose status is properly developed. Fourthly and last, but in no sense least, it stands for the literary side of our denominational life. The papers produced by our most intelligent men and women, and read before this PRICES OF SINGLE ARTICLES down with three scattered hits, while Turner's pitcher was touched up for twelve safe ones. The Athletics were confident at all times. Evans, Try and Mayberry did great work in the outter garden, while the infield worked in perfect order. Vaughns was the batting hero of the day. With two down and Turner tightening up he lifted the ball high over left field fence for a home run, sending Farrell home before him.

Before another thirty days have rolled around the eighth annual session of the Sunday-School Congress will be in session at Muskogee, Okla. Preparations for the entertainment of the Sunday-school workers have been under way by the committees at Muskogee and every school in Oklahoma for the past three months, and everything now seems to be in readiness. From all indications one can truthfully remark that it seems like there will be a countless host at Muskogee, coming from every section of the United States. The old School-Day Song, "Tramp, tramp, tramp, the Boys are Marching," is vividly portrayed and makes the older ones go back to other days, when they look over the long list of those who are [Picture of a man in a suit and tie].

After that no more was heard of it till some time in June, 1907; this time it chose the largest city in the South, New Orleans, La., for its operations. The work was so well done that it was several weeks before the South recovered. Time passed on until June, 1908, when with more force than in the previous years it made its appearance in Jacksonville, Fla. After startling the people of that city it left, returning in 1909 to awaken the dormant Sunday-school workers of Nashville, Tenn. where it had originated three years before. But this second Nashville meeting, unlike the first, was so large and enthusiastic, and was attended by so many earnest workers that the Congress was at once recognized as the growing wonder of the age. From time to time it could be heard of constantly, in 1910 it took Atlanta, Ga., by storm, the country was stirred as never before, for by this time it was an annual occurrence, and everybody wanted to see the thing that was causing such commotion. The papers and magizines had begun to discuss it, telling the people that it was to invade the Cotton Belt, therefore things began to hum in the great Mississippi Valley. Meridian, Miss., was the lucky city to en- 1. Interdenominational Sunday School, Organizations, National and International; Their Theoretical and Practical Value. 2.

Pettis spent Saturday and Sunday in Nashville, Tenn. tertain it in 1911, although one of the larger cities of Mississippi, it was taxed to its limit to accommodate the followers of such a national power. The octopus now had grown to such proportions that many cities were clamoring to have it come within their gates. Invitations came from the South, East and West. Owing to the central location of Tuskegee, Ala., and the popularity of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the committee led the forces thither in 1912. Since this great organization has been operating in the Southern States since it was launched, the invitation from the West was accepted. Therefore the eighth annual session of the Sunday-School Congress of the National Baptist Convention will meet with the good people of Muskogee, Okla., June 4 to the 9, 1913. The writer having visited the Congress headquarters a few weeks ago, found the Secretary busy, very busy, answering inquiries and mailing out pennants, caps and buttons, which would cause one to believe that Muskogee will have to lay in an extra supply of provisions to accommodate the officers, delegates and tourists that have expressed themselves as sure to attend the Congress this year. It has been announced that several states have planned to go over in chartered Pullmans, thereby doing away with changing of cars. 7. Principles and Ideals of the Sunday-School Class. 8.

EXCURSION RATES TO MUSKOGEE Railroads on Both Sides of the Mississippi Grant Very Low Round Trip Through the untiring efforts of the Secretary of the Sunday-School Congress, the workers this year are to enjoy a reduced round trip rate on the railroads on both sides of the Mississippi River. Announcement of these rates has come from Mr. G. E. Hanagan, of the Southwestern Passenger Association at St. Louis, Mo., and Mr Joseph Richardson, of the Southeastern Passenger Association at Atlanta, Ga. Yet the Congress headquarters has felt called upon to say that those who will attend the Congress from Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Virginia and points in West Virginia, Washington, D. C. Kentucky, Cincinnati, O. Evansville Ind., Cairo, Ill., Missouri, Arkansas Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, the rates will apply from the principal cities of these states and from points not mentioned. Rev Henry A. Boyd, the Congress Secretary, said this week that he wished to be informed of any refusal by any agent to sell reduced rate tickets this year. He requests that those who are going to Muskogee notify their railroad ticket agent at once so that he may get the tickets for them. The National Baptist Union-Review has published the exact fares from all large cities. visiting her relatives.
