NASHVILLE GLOBE. NASHVILLE OFFERS OPPORTUNITY Vol. VIII. SUPERINTENDENT BRISTER MAKES APPEAL FOR RURAL SCHOOLS County Districts Suffering—County Officials Will Be Urged to Co- Operate—Pull ToGether—Appeal to Those in County Districts—Large Sums Added By State. The following letter that is being sent out by Prof. J. W. Brister, State Superintendent of Public Instruction in the interest of longer school terms contains information that all should be interested in: "Realizing the need of a longer school term for the country schools of Tennessee, I am soliciting the aid of the newspapers of the State of in a movement to that end. "The city schools run, on an average 177 days, and in most of the large cities the term is approximately 200 days; the county high schools run 177 days; while in the elementary schools of rural districts the average term, last year, was only 114 days. When it is remembered that in hts average are included many large counties whose term is eight or nine months, it will be seen that in small the counties the terms are very short, utterly inadequate for the proper training and education of the youth of the State. For instance, 75 counties of the State have less than a six months term; 41 less than a five months; 7 less than four months, and in one of two counties the school term last year was less than three months. "We are trying to inaugurate a movement which will result in a minimum school term of six months in every county in the State; and a corresponding increase in the school term in the counties which now have more than six months until a term of eight or nine months is reached. "It may be urged that the question of school term is not the most vital school matter before the people of the State to-day, and we would assent to this contention. At the same time we believe that we can expect no great improvement in the teaching force, and consequently no better schools, in counties whose terms are too short to offer a reasonable annual income. "If the people of the country districts can be brought to realize that their children need as much schooling as the children of the city, they will exert themselves to improve school conditions. The press is the all-powerful instrumentality by which we can create public sentiment; and if it will present this matter clearly and persistently, such a popular sentiment will be created in favor of longer term that a demand for it will soon be made. "The State has recently added largely to the school revenues. The main purpose of the State Fund is to stimulate local school activities; and this purpose will not be attained unless there result longer school terms and better school opportunities for all the children of all the people of Tennessee. "We shall appreciate it if you will give this letter a place in your columns with such editorial comment from time to time on the subject presented as, in your judgment, its importance demands. "We have written to the County Superintendents and Boards of Education on this particular matter; and we are hoping that the appeal to them and to you, and through you to the people, will meet with cordial response in every county in the State."

The body of John Shears, with the throat cut from ear to ear, was discovered Saturday about midnight on a spur of the Tennessee Central Railroad between Seventeenth and Eighteenth avenues, and officers are looking for the brother of Shear's wife, it being understood that he was last seen with Shears. Officers say that several people residing near the scene claim that Shears and his wife had been quarreling and that her brother took her part.

NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY MAY 16, 1913. ODD FELLOWS' CELEBRATION ANNUAL SERMON SUNDAY AT GREEN- WOOD PARK Thousands Journey Out to Participate —Rev. J. D. Richmond Principal Speaker—Ladies Present Bea- tiful Bouquet—Music Special Feature—Entertainment Monday Night. The annual Sermon of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows was held at Greenwood Park Sunday afternoon. There were several thousands in attendance and they were well paid for their visit. The master of ceremonies handled the crowd in an admirable way. The ladies of the order were conveyed to the park in a string of ten special cars. They attracted a deal of attention as they passed through the city and when they alighted at the park entrance and formed a line of march down through the dale from the hill to the grand stand it was a beautiful scene to behold. Following the ladies were the Juveniles. The little folks were full of glee and showed that they had not forgotten the many kindnesses that had been bestowed upon them by the lady members at -Christmas time, and their little hears were filled with recollections of the visit from old Santa Claus, when hundreds of them were made glad at Christmas, by an entertainment on Fourth avenue at the Odd Fellows Hall. Rev. Richmond made an interesting address, he reviewed the history of the Order and proved to all who heard him that he knew the history of Odd Fellowsm thoroughly. On many occasions the mammoth grandstand was made to resound with the echo of applause on the part of the members of the Order when the speaker would touch some vital points in its history and its past life. The speaker was at himself on all occasions and he gave a splendid account of his stewardship. Music by the North Nashville Band and choir of the First Baptist Church of East Nashville were special features. On Monday night the annual event wound up with an entertainment at the Odd Fellows Hall on Fourth avenue. The members of the Order convened together and enjoyed themselves to the highest.

GREAT SUNDAY SCHOOL JUBILEE THOUSANDS OF BAPTISTS ASSEMBLE AT MAJESTIC Sunday a Gala Day for Christian Workers — Mammoth Street Parade — Sunday-School Congress Pennants Waving the Children on — Metokas and Galedas in Evidence. As a fitting climax to the Sunday-school enthusiasm that has been injected into the local Sunday-schools of this city for some time, the Sunday-School Jubilee Celebration that was held at the Majestic Theatre Sunday afternoon, May 11, served admirably. The entire affair was under the direction of the denominational leaders of the local Baptist churches and Sunday-schools of the city. Characteristic of the whole affair was the first denominational observance of the fifty years of freedom in which the children played the larger part and were the center of attraction. The mammoth street parade was pronounced by all to be an occasion to inspire new religious work. A line of march covering a distance of more than four blocks, in which Sunday-school workers participated, singing as they marched, "Christian Soldiers Marching," accompanied by two brass bands, has not heretofore been witnessed under religious auspices. The parade formed on the north side of the Public Square and moved south on Second avenue to Union street, turning west on Union to Fifth avenue, north on Fifth avenue to Cedar street, east on Cedar to the Majestic Theatre. The parade was headed by national Sunday-school workers. Foremost among these were Revs. N. H. Plus, the national chister and Superintendent of Teacher-Training Course, and Henry A. Boyd, Secretary of the Sunday-School Congress Movement and Assistant Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board; the former with a huge Sunday-School Congress pennant cheering the children as they marched. In the second division of the parade was the National Baptist Band, which is the latest addition of the publishing force equipment. These sixteen pieces of brass instruments handled by skilled operators made splendid music along the streets. Following the band were the pastors of the city. In the third division was the I. O. I. Brass Band. These veteran musicians, who have rendered yeoman service, played in a manner distinctively their own on this occasion. In the fourth and last division were representatives of the forty Baptist Sunday-schools of the city. As the parade neared the Majestic Theatre, the leaders swung the line of march to the opposite side of the street, the bands lined up on each side and the Sunday-school children marched bravely into the magnificent edifice amid the cheers of thousands of throats. The National Baptist Band played "Onward Metoka and Galadas," a new march anthem composed by Prof. T. W. J. Tobias. The I. O. I. Band played "Rally to the Standard," composed by the late Prof. Wm. Roseborough. In the hall the boxes and reserved seats were for the little ones. Rev. G. B. Taylor pastor of the Second Baptist Church was master of ceremonies. As soon as the floating and waving of banners ceased, the jubilee chorus sang one of the favorite selections. Mr. Thomas Anderson, of the First Baptist Church, led in prayer, Rev. J. D. Bushell, D. D., read the scripture. The chorus then rendered a selection, after which Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., delivered an inspiring address on "The Fifty Years of Freedom." He addressed his entire remarks principally to the children, who received it joyfully. At this point the chorus sang "The Rocks and Mountains" in plantation melody, an arrangement by Prof. Wm. H. Sherwood, Dr. Bushell delivered an eloquent and forceful semonette to the delight of the audience that completely filled the theater. Short addresses were made by Prof. J. D. Crenshaw, Editor of the Union-Review, Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church; Rev. T. J. Lewis, Chairman of the Sunday-School Union, under whose auspices the jubilee and chorus was pulled off, and Dr. J. L. Peters. The chorus then rendered the best selection of the evening, "Walk Together Children, Don't Get Weary." At the conclusion of the program the National Baptist Band again played "Onward Metokas and Galedas," while the Sunday-school children, under their superintendents and teachers, filed out of the theatre in order. The music for this occasion was under the direction of Dr. Plus, the national chorister, Chairman Lewis, of the Sunday-School Union, stated that the advisability of continuing these annual observances would be taken up at the regular Sunday-School fourth Sunday at Mt. Olive Baptist Union Committee meeting on the Church. NAT'L.

Myers, pastor of First Baptist Church, Murfreesboro, popular reader and soloist; D. A. Hart, editor of the Nashville Globe, and Dr. J. A. Lester, one of the leading physicians of the city, were introduced and made brief remarks. Dr. R. H. Goodloe, of Pratt City, Ala., and Prof. W. D. Edington, principal of Philadelphia Institute and Training School, responded. "Blest be the tie that binds," was sung. Meeting adjourned after benediction.

The Colored Cumberland Presbyterian Mission is a bi-monthly paper published by the denomination at Fayetteville, Tenn.; Dr. J. M. W. DeShong is the editor. Another advanced step in the work is a Publication Board with headquarters at Huntingdon, Tenn., Rev. James Edwards, managing editor. This department deals in church and Sunday-school supplies, and is another evidence of the progressive attitude of the church. Alabama, Texas, Kentucky Missouri and Tennessee are represented at the meeting. Many of the local churches of all denominations will have delegates to the Convention to speak for them Sunday. Thursday morning the association opened and an interesting session was held morning and afternoon. The meeting will continue until Monday morning, Sunday being great Jubilee day, in the form of a mass-meeting celebrating the fifthtier anniversary of Emancipation Proclamation. OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH FOR APRIL The report of the Board of Health for April contains interesting statistics. The population of Nashville is estimated as 11,847. The number of deaths for the month of April was 168 of which 77 were colored and 91 white. The white population is about double the colored, but the number of deaths is about the same. Not a single death occurred among the Jews during the month of April, this is indeed remarkable as there are a great many Jews in this city. There were 14 deaths from Tuberculosis, 7 colored and 7 white. The report made by the Tuberculosis Bureau for the month of April shows that 105 dozen eggs and 2334 quarts of sweet milk have been appropriated for the Tubercular patients. 154 colored patients and 150 white were treated for this disease. MISS CLARK LEAVES FOR CIN CINNATI. Miss Mary L. Clark, who has been connected with the National Baptist Publishing House for about ten years has resigned her position there, to take up another line of work. Miss Clark was employed in the various departments at the Baptist Publishing House for about ten years, seven of which she filled the position of cashier. She was also private secretary of her father, Rev. C. H. Clark. She went from here to Cincinnati, O., where she will spend a few days with friends and in recreation. TENNESSEE'S LEAB ING NEGRO JOURNAL No.20. NO POSPONMENT OF THE DATE COMMENCEMENT AT TURNER NORMAL COLLEGE. Begins Wednesday, May 21 and Ends Thursday, May 29—Splendid Pro... gram for Each Day—President Regrets that He Could Not Have the Bishop Present—Notice Came Too Late. Special to the Globe Special to the Globe. Shelbyville, Tenn., May 12.—It was announced here today by Dr. J. A. Jones, president of Turner Normal College, that the commencement exercises will be held as formerly stated. It was learned that Bishop Joshua H. Jones, the Bishop of Tennessee and Alabama, had asked president Jones to postpone the commencement one week on account of the exercises at Payne College at Selma, Ala., in order that he Bishop Jones might be present. But it seems it could not be done. Dr. Jones said in regard to the matter. There are two colleges of the A. M. E. Church in Episcopal district, over which Bishop J. H. Jones presides; one at Shelbyville, Tennessee and the other at Selma, Ala., both institutions hold their closing exercises during the same week, beginning May 25th and closing on the 29th. The stronger pressure having brought to bear upon the bishop from the Alabama school, the bishop accepted the invitation to spend his time down there, and requested that Turner Normal College at Shelbyville, postpone its closing exercises one week, so as to give him the privilege of attending both. Dr. Jones, the president of Turner not being able to see his way clear to comply with this request, gives out the following statement: "Nothing would give me more delight than to have the bishop at our commencement exercises. No other bishop has allowed anything to get in his way to hinder him from attending both to hinder him from both would happen to come at the same period. The bishops usually divided their time between them. However, had the request come earlier in the year, we could have easily fixed our date to suit the convenience of the bishop. But coming as it did, just two weeks before closing, I could not possibly change the date. The Commencement speakers, all of whom are prominent ministers, had to be consulted. I cannot change their dates in such important matters, with a wave of the hand or the stroke of a pen. Acting upon our announced closing, a number of student-teachers have planned to attend county institutes, while others have made arrangements for employments for the summer, which our holding them would cause them to disappoint their employers and lose their jobs. The truth is, quite a number could not remain and thus the Commencement would be a failure. We could more easily have the Commencement come a week earlier than a week later. The holding of about seventy five people a week longer would also mean a boarding of that number free of charge for that length of time, a thing we are not in a condition to do. Our Commencement will be held on schedule time, May 23rd, 20th. We anticipate one of the most brilliant closing exercises that we have ever had in the history of the institution. We anticipate a large attendance of the faithful and true trustees from all over the state. The usual preliminary session of the board will be held under the presidency of the bishop for that length of time, a thing we are not in a condition to do. General financial rally will be held.

A little more than five months ago Rev. L. Jas Johnson was transferred from the West Tennessee Conference and stationed at this charge, where he found the church in a scattered and disorganized condition. He labored hard and succeeded in getting the members together. Then set the plans for the great rally which ended Monday night, May 5th with the following result: Atheneum District, T. A. Wingeld, P. E., $233.00; Mt. Zion District, J. B. Webster, P. E., $241.61; Rock of District, E. O. Brown, P. E., $373.65; Rocky Mt. District, A. R. Perkins, P. E., $391.72; General officers, $43.12; Grand total, $1,283.10. This amount will clear the church of its total debtedness and leave a small balance. Dr. L. James Johnson can well be termed the Rally King of the Tennessee Conference. His plans were of the highest religious ideals which were characteristic of the man. Too much cannot be said in praise of Mrs. L. James Johnson for her unstring work. Her modest bearing backed by her Christian precept over example among the people in which her lot has been cast.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1913. Mrs. Nellie Seav Last Monday evening Mrs. Nellie Seay celebrated her eighty-second birthday. On this occasion a large number of friends assembled to show their appreciation of this grand and good woman. The tribute was deservingly bestowed. Mrs. Seay has lived past her three score years and ten, and every day of her long life has been spent for the good of humanity. It is a beautiful life that is spent in service, and more beautiful when a great portion of that life is devoted to benevolent service. This can truly be said of Mrs. Seay. The church, the society, those suffering with the ravages of disease or haunted by poverty all have received unstinted service at her hands. She has been a willing worker. Good health has been her greatest asset, and with her strength she has ever carried a courageous heart full of love and sympathy. Eighty-two years are behind her now, but she is still blessed with nimble limb, and still she continues to perform her missions of charity. May her days be many in this world to carry sunshine and cheer to the lowly. Our Public Schools. We call the attention of our readers to a letter in another column by the State Superintendent of Education, Prof. J. W. Brister, relative to our public schools. The State of Tennessee has taken advanced steps in the matter of providing adequate school facilities for the youth of the state, and every citizen should awaken to his duty in this respect. Ignorance is a curse to any community, state or nation. This is proven beyond contradiction. Those states or nations that are derilict in educating the youth are found lagging behind those that make the best provision possible for education. Those states or countries that provide for the education of the class and neglect the mass are hampered in their progress. Intelligence is the foundation to permanent progress. Tennessee is striving to educate all the children in her bounds. Every citizen has a duty to perform in this undertaking. Every citizen must help bear the burden of this effort. The compulsory school law will go into affect with the opening of the next school term. Parents should get ready to co-operate with the school authorities by getting their children ready, and those who are the better informed should instruct the people as to their duty and responsibility. There should be a united effort to make the very best of the opportunity that has been given to improve the educational conditions in the state. No Time For Quarreling. The New York Age of the 8th inst., complains that the Negroes of the South are charging the Negroes of the North with a mean attitude toward them. The Age says: Evidence accumulates on all sides that Southern Negroes are becoming a law unto themselves, in the value they put upon themselves, in what they have done and what they are accomplishing, "along all lines," as Dr. Washington often expresses it, or moral, material and religious development, and that they resent the active interest and advice of Northern Negroes. "Look to your own condition and interests." The Southern white man is our best friend; he understands us and we understand him better than you of the North do; so let us alone and attend to your own affairs, you of the North. You make our condition worse by your interest and advice." This sentiment is discoverable in many of our strongest papers in the South, and has gained strength with the growth of the National Negro Business League, which was suggested and brought to life in the North and nurtured in its infancy and growth during the past fourteen years by Northern brains and money. Speaking of the old families of the North the Age says: Wherever you find them now among the hosts of those who have come up from the South since 1876, those old Northern Negroes are sturdy, self-respecting people, who call no man master and eat no man's bread of charity; such of the old families in Philadelphia as the Stills, the Adgers, the Bowers, the Bollvars, the Dorses, the Potters, the Goulds, the Durhams, the Fortens, the Joneses; in New York the Petersons, the Downings, the Rayses, the Whites, the Marses, the Reasons, the Gulons, the Bowerses, the Gilberts; in Boston the Walkers, Downings, Mitchells, Dupreses. They show up today as strong in their way as the prominent white families of those times do in their remnant. We have no right to forget or disparage what they did in peace and war to bring about the freedom of their brothers in the South. They did the best they could according to their lights and opportunities, and their children hold their own today in all our business, church and social activity, not only in the North but in every section of the country whether they scattered after the war to lend a helping hand in the new order of things they aided to bring about. We admit that Negroes of the South have oftimes complained that the Negroes of the North have made utterances that were not calculated to help conditions in the South, but we do not believe it is the desire of Negroes South to quarrel with their brethren in the North. The Age says the North now has a new generation of Negroes who came to that section with nothing, but they are making good. We are glad to have this statement from so reliable an authority, and we hope for even better things. But be that as it may, we fail to find any ground for a break between Negroes North and South. As a race we are designated everywhere. In the South have at times complained that laws than there are inn the North, but on the other hand we have more opportunities to work. Race prejudice exists in all section of our country, and the Negroes, North and South, should stand shoulder to shoulder for the good of all. Negroes in the south understand Southern conditions and adapt themselves to those conditions. They are not so silly as to think those conditions can be affected by what is said by Negroes in the North or printed in newspapers published by Negroes in the North. The story of the two slaves who cursed their master, one at the big gate and the other to his face, and these utterances by Negroes in the North are the "big gate" utterances. The race, North and South, has a common cause that can best be conserved by a harmonious, united effort, always remembering that in Maine or Texas the Negro is a Negro finally. The Negro is the North helped create and gitate the abolition sentiment, and the Negro in the South heledp wipe out the slavery curse. The end is not yet. There is no time for quarrelling over trivial matters. The struggle is eternal. Let's strike hands and remember that we are brethren. The Louisville Cubs took two games from the Manhattan Stars. The Globe cannot tell the story in full. There were no complimentary tickets for the sporting editor. In $10,000 chunks it will not require many rounds to put Jack Johnson down and out. That is the secret of the racket. Editor Mitchell of the Richmond Planet is making another tour. He certainly can travel some in his paper. Editorial Clipping. POLITICAL FREEDOM It was an inspiration to be present at the meeting of the Wilson and Marshall Democratic Club on last Tuesday evening. It was a gathering of free and cheerful men—men that are unfettered by any obligations aside from those that are common to all of the good citizens of Indianapolis. Among them were veteran Democrats and a few raw recruits. One of the veterans was a delegate to a colored Democratic convention in 1872; some of the recruits voted the ticket for their first time last fall. They stood together, the old and the young, for Wilson and Marshall in national politics and for the best Democratic candidates in municipal affairs. The past political affiliations of the Negro voter were freely discussed; civic pride and party loyalty were much in evidence. The welfare of the nation and the success of the race as a part of the nation stood above every other consideration. It is truer than ever before that the Negro is free to vote with any political party that appeals to him. He stands with his ballot in his hand ready to vote for whomsoever he considers the best candidate, representing the best measures. Candidates and what they stand for are the chief considerations. The big mistake has been that the Negro in politics has stood too much in the attitude of an office-seeker. The business man in politics is look- ing out for business interests; the race man in politics should look out for racial interests. Party managers can no longer be misled to believe that one Negro can deliver the vote of the whole race if he be given a job. The party managers may deem it right to give offices to those who render good campaign services—there is no objection to that; but the average voter looks to see the candidate for whom he votes do something to relieve the situation when the race is being assailed by its traducers. The events which have led to the political emancipation of the Negro voter hold a unique place in the history of the parties. He stands today unbossed by any man of or out of his race. The party that gets the entire Negro vote must do something for the whole race.-The Indianapolis Ledger. THE NEW JERSEW CONFERENCE It was our pleasure, last Wednesday day to meet in Atlantic City, the New Jersey Conference, which was pleasantly opened by Bishop Evaas Tyree the first Conference since the rise of the last General Conference. The brethren of the Conference seemed all in hearty spirit. The reports, as far as we heard, were far in excess of last year, and there seemed not to have been for many years, a time when peace and harmony reigned so completely through the New Jersey Conference as at this time. A number of brethren from the New England New York Conferences came to welcome the Bishop to the district. On Wednesday the Mayor of the city and others tendered to the Bishop a reception, which was considered as those things go, a very brilliant affair. The entertainment by Pastor H. P. Anderson was what every one expected, of the very best class. Dr. Anderson had everything well arranged, as usual, in his systematic way. Among the general officers were J. I. Lowe, R. C. Ransom, A. S. Jackson, present; and on Saturday Bishop Coppin honored the Conference with his presence. The keynote of the Conference was peace and good will. Bishop Tyree, as a peacemaker, is gaining a great reputation and one of the characteristics that make him acceptable to all the brethren, was shown in his address to us in which he stated that he would keep himself clear of all divisions or all factions or parties and make himself the bishop of all those who were his brethren, and when it came to the election of delegates to the General Conference, he would let it be known now, that no man might depend on him for his influence in the election against any other brother.—Christian Recorder. THIS IS THE SHOE STORE WHERE YOU CAN ALWAYS GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH. WE ALWAYS HAVE A DOLLAR BARGAIN RACK, WHERE IS ALWAYS GOOD PICKING. J. S. HOPKINS SHOE CO., ON THE SQUARE. Our Negro democratic friends and admirers have evidently made a serious mistake in travelling to Washington in Pullman sleepers and dining a la carte, just like Negro Republicans ordinarily travel. A Mississippi Negro from round about Greenwood landed in Washington recently, footsore and weary, after a six-week's tramp. He at once souffled our Senator James K. Vardaman, from whose home city he had come, and in a jiffy, the distinguished senator landed that Negro in a job. A hint to the wise is sufficient.-The (Waggoner, Okla.) American. The health of the American people as a nation would be vastly improved by an increase in the rural population, for, like the mythical giant who in the fight could not be overcome because his strength was renewed each time his feet touched the earth, so the human race is regenerated by the outdoor life, the fresh air and the vigorous exercises that are concomitants of rural residence.—Boley Progress. A PHASE OF THE RELIGIOUS WORK OF THE Y. M. C. A. The colored Y. M. C. A. has been quietly placing itself on record as a religious force in the city of Nashville for the past year. "First seek ye the kingdom of heaven." Three Bible study groups have been meeting weekly during the entire fall and winter seasons. Good work has been done among a class of men that do not attend Sunday-school. The text used is "Main Lines in the Bible" prepared by the International Committee of New York City. The total number enrolled for the year about to close is 28. The total attendance as shown in the annual report issued April 13 was 394. This department of Y. M. C. A. work is the most essential and next year they hope to do great things along the line of Bible Study. They would be glad to begin to form groups now for the fall and winter work. The texts they hope to use next fall are: "Outlines of Biblical Facts and History," "Great Events in the Life of Christ," and "Leaders of Israel." The above cuts show our Shop Meeting and our Bible Study Group. The men as shown above can be consulted at any time for their opinion of the type of work they are doing under the direction of the Y. M. C. A. *** Thursday night, May 22, there will be a mass-meeting in West Nashville, Clifton School, conducted by Rev. N. D. Shamberger, D. d. pastor of Clark Memorial Church. All men are cordially invited to be present. Wednesday night, May 28, the members of the Y. M. C. A. are asked to meet in the Y. M. C. A. room, Pythian Temple, for the purpose of appointing a Nominating Committee, whose duty will be to recommend nine men to mann and operate the Colored Men's Branch of the Y. M. C. A. for the next year. The election will take place the first Wednesday in June. This is the regular monthly meeting night. ```markdown ``` A. G.

"Mother" Sunday was Mother's Day. The white carnation was not worn as freely as might have been. The Musical and Literary entertainment of May 7 according to tickets collected made a good showing, $26.10. According to the reports from ticket sellers among whom Prof. H. L. Fite and John Whitelow, the cash will exceed the amount called for by the tickets. Too much cannot be said for the splendid work of the men who went from man to man and from house to house selling tickets. It seems that some of our men have "a mind to work" for a good cause. They spend time and money and flatly refuse to accept compensation. They say "I owe it to the cause of young manhood." Sunday afternoon, 4 o'clock at the corner of Charlotte Pike and Clifton avenue Wm. Crawford will conduct an open air meeting. Profs. Keith and Green will address the meeting. One thousand hand bills are being circulated. A large crowd is expected to be present. The Y. M. C. A. Base Ball team is in good trim for the game as scheduled for Saturday. The boys "get in the game." The Athletic have their suits and are ready to Committee is playing well their part; it is up to the players to do likewise. All young men wishing to become members will see Wm. Crawford or the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. J. Blaine Richey, a Tuskegee man is a good ball player and a good mixer. He is a member of the Athletic Committee. Mr. J. H. Crawford, manager of the Y. M. C. A. baseball team of a couple of years ago, is a very active member of the committee. Mr. H. T. Fite is the business manager. He is the man that pays the bills. Fite is a great fellow. MEHARRY ALUMNI REUNION IN AUGUST. The above suggestion made by Drs. W. F. Watkins and D. H. Scott of Montgomery, Ala., in the form of a motion becomes the property of the Meharry Alumni Association at the last annual meeting. The motion carried without a dissenting vote and all present including representatives all present including representatives of this largest graduating class ever to go out from the school, felt elated over the happy suggestion. These gentlemen have heard and read with pleasure the rapid advancement made by their Alma Mater since their days of student life and they suggested the pleasure it would be to to return to greet the honored Dean, members of the Faculty and the classmates. Besides this great pleasure to those who return, the inspiration and encouragement which they would bring to Meharry represented by the good work they have rendered to humanity will be indiscribable. From the North and the South, from the East and the West would the sons and daughters of Meharry return to her sacred halls and recount in cheerful colness the hardships and struggles, the victories and trophies which must of necessity be met and achieved by all young practicers who have the pluck and the will to overcome. Thirty, twenty and even ten years have made wonderful changes in the campus, buildings and faculty of Meharry as well as in our great city. This Re-union is scheduled to be held on the 25th of August, and a great meeting it is expected to be. It is estimated that more than a thousand Meharry graduates will attend this reunion. --- THE WORK OF THE NEW ST PAUL A. M. E.

May 8—On all lips in Selma, after Wednesday evening you could hear, "Surely the greatest musical event of the year has occurred." It was the beautiful cantata of Queen Esther, in the chapel of Selma University, under the musical direction of Mrs. J. D. Ballentyne. It was a sacred, dramatic cantata, very real and pathetic in all its parts. The cast of characters were: Queen Esther, Mrs. M. Belle Scott; King Ahasuerus, Prof. W. H. Dinkins; Mordecal, a Jew, Prof. W. J. S. Anderson; Mordecal's Sister, Miss Olivia Kennedy; Zeresh, Haman's Wife, Miss Mabel F. Dinkins; Prophetess, Mrs. J. R. L. Diggs; Maid of Honor, Miss Velma Wood; Scribe, Joseph Smith; Hagal, Petus Walker; Harbonah, W. F. Brown; High Priest, I. L. Williams; Beggar, W. M. Eakin; Herald, A. H. Harris; Guard, Collie Burroughs; Guard, Fred Bullard; Median and Persian Princesses, Jews, Pages, Guards, Malds of companion. The impersonation was fine and made an excellent impression. It was played in five acts, and the singers and performers appeared in beautiful and elaborate costumes. The great preparation and the artistic execution and rendition delighted the large, cultured audience. Selma University stands for high Christian education, culture and character, for the dignity and nobility of labor and manhood as Jesus taught them and for the cultivation of sane, friendly relations of the races in the South. The Friends present were so pleased that they wished its repetition and promised a vastly larger gathering. All did well. Special mention is due to Miss Dinkins, Mrs. Diggs, Prof. Dinkins, Prof. Sanderson, Mrs. Scott, the Queen, and Mrs. Ballentyne, the skilful musical director. 12 THE MEMBERS OF THE METHODIST CHURCH OF THE WESTERN STATE No More Greasy Lamps To Clean and Fill Why not save this "daily drudgery" in your home?

Sexton, Pastor St. Paul Nashville, Teen. Dr. S. L. Howard began a ten-day meeting at St. Paul April 30th. When the ten days were up the meeting was so full of interest and the church so anxious for its continuance that he remained one more week with us. During these services a number of THE SUNDAY- SCHOLASTIC GRESS OF THE BAPT AND WHAT IT 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 burdens 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 dereliction that is both inexusable and unpatriotic. These reflections, like Banquo'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 pigmy 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 BARRY SCHOOL CONGRESS The Cap is well made of the very best white duck linen and nicely finished.

In a revival Dr. Howard is a spiritual giant. He is an earnest preacher of the inspired message of God's word. His methods are those which appeal to the better judgment. Much of that which is ignorantly said and done in revivals is eliminated by him. His sermons are strong and soul-stirring, his short addresses to simmers are awakening, enlightening, encouraging and filled with simplicity, causing the unsaved to accept salvation upon the terms of the Gospel. He is a strong advocate of the New Birth and immediate conversion. None are, however, urged to such rare condecessions. 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-school 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 been 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 JOIN THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS FORCES OF 1913 Get in line for the Muskogee Meeting Get the Proper Paraphernalia NATIONAL BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1913. leave the altar until soundly converted. In every service the standard doctrines of salvation are sustained. At each service held for us there was an outpouring of divine grace. The increasing large attendance of those who came to enjoy this Gospel-feast made the Evangelist no financial burden to us. In my ministry I have had a number of evangelists to assist me or conduct services for me and I consider Dr. Howard among the best I have had. With him go the best wishes and prayers of St. Paul for great spiritual success where he is called to labor. WILLIAMSPORT NOTES. Miss Ethel Gray, of Chestnut is visiting Mrs. John Hutc Rev. N.

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.

Oklahoma. 1913.— Seven years ago it broke out in Nashville, Tenn. 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 magazines had begun to discuss it, telling the people that it was to invade the Cotton Belt, therefore things began to harm in the great Mississippi Valley.

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 Pulmans, thereby doing away with changing of cars. Rev. P C Dandridge Rev. B J P Westbrook Rev Jno Fields B. W.

EXCURSIGN RATES TO MUSKOGEE Railroads on Both Sides of the Missisippi Grant. Very Low Round Trip Rates on Account of the Con- Through the uniting 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. RAILROAD TIME TABLES Louisville & Nashville H. R. New Union Station, City Ticket Office, 221 Fourth avenue.
