The Sunday School Congress Meets In Nashville June 13 to 18, 1917 NASHVILLE GLOBE. Rev. J. P. Robinson, A.M., D.D., LL. D., Pastor of the First Bapt. Church of Little Rock, Ark. President of the Progressive Bapt. State Convention Visits Nashville VOLUME XII. BELIEVES IN PROGRESSIVE Rev. J. P. Robinson, A. M., B. of the First Bapt. Church of President of the Progress Convention Visits LEADS ONE OF THE LARGEST C COUNTRY After spending a very busy stay in Nashville this week, the Rev. J. P. Robinson, of Little Rock, Ark, left Wednesday morning for his home in the Arkansas capitol. While here Dr. Robinson was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. R. H. Boyd, of Heimman street, and Dr. and Mrs. C. H. Clark, of Jo Johnston avenue. For eighteen years Dr. Robinson was chairman of the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention. Retiring after eighteen years of service, he was again called back and is now serving in that capacity, being the chairman of the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated. In addition to this, he is a member of the National Baptist Publishing Board of this city REV. J. P. ROBINSON, A. M., D. D., LL. D., of Little Rock, Ark., President of the Progressive Baptist State Convention of Arkansas. and usually comes over to their Board meetings. His trip att his season was, it is learned, for the purpose of conferring with some of his denominational leaders in Tennessee relative to the coming Sunday School Congress that is to be held in Nashville June 13th-18th, and the National Baptist Convention that is to be held in Atlanta, Ga., next September. In his own state Dr. Robinson is regarded as one of the undisputed leaders. Form ore than thirty years he has been pastor of the First Baptist Church of Little Rock, which is said to be easily the largest congregation in the state of Arkansas. For a number of years he was a trustee of the Arkansas Baptist College, from which institution he graduated from the college as well as the theoretical department. He is at present the president of the Progressive Baptist State Convention of the state of Arkansas and a prominent factor in the business world of the Arkansas capital. In speaking to a Globe representative before leaving the city, Dr. Robinson said: "You may put Robinson said: as an anode of the progressive ideas as the model of the business man he live in come forward and not backward. I believe in building up rather than tearing down. I am not opposed to any man who has spent his life in building up an enterprise or institution even though that enterprise or institution may not be created according to my personal liking. "It is often that the fellow on the outside who has not had to do with the management of affairs of a particular institution knows nothing about what it takes to make that concern succeed, and vet that fellow may criticise, and criticism is easy, the very policy that has made the institution a success. I am not envious. Everybody in my state knows I have contributed in my febble way to whatever has been begun in Arkansas that would be for the betterment of the Negro, irrespective of denomination, and that I have spent the better part of my life sacrificing for my own denomination. Our state work embraces every department of our convention in Arkansas. It is standing solid with the progressive leaders in Tennessee and I mean by that the National Baptist Publishing Board in the operation of its plant. We will stand by them as long as there is a peen in the dish. We are going to bring the largest delegation to Nashville in the history of Arkansas to attend the Sunday School Congress, and then following this, we are going to carry a special train from Arkansas to Atlanta. I want to congratulate the people of Nashville for the loyal support they have given Dr Boyd and the Publishing Board." It was learned after Dr. Robinson left the city that he expects to return to Nashville even before summer. While here he visited Roger Williams University, the A. & I. State Normal and Fisk University, and at the same time took in other points of interest in the business section of the city. NASHVILLE A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY---THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE. A Civil War Veteran and Pioneer Citizen--Funeral Largely Attended A Man Among Men, His Life An Open Book, His Good Deeds Will Live Forever Joseph Cole, a civil war veteran and pioneer citizen of Nashville, died Wednesday at his home on Ninth avenue, North, after a lingering illness. His death removed one of the best known and most uniformly popular men and citizens in Nashville. Though he had reached an advanced age he carried his years remarkably well and retained both the appearance and activity of a much younger man. He had been many years a conspicuous figure in the plumber business and social life. Mr. Cole was one of the highest moral worth and in every way a type of the good citizenship. Mr. Cole always impressed him, even when he saw a screamman. There was no sort of affection of false pretense about him, and it was safe to place implicit reliance in any promise that he made. He was a genial man with a large acquaintance and treated every one with unaffected courtesy. As a business man and leading citizen Mr. Cole stood high and everybody spoke well of him. He was always ready to do a kindness and was liberal in his charity. Few men have lived in this or any other community more generally liked than he, none more kindly remembered Mr. Cole was married to Mrs. Myrra Brown of Nashville and had one son Harrison Cole, by this marriage Those who survive him are Mrs Myrra Cole, and son Sue Harrison of Nashville; Mrs Miss Mary Cole, Vina Holmes, sisters, of Nashville, H. E. Cole, Ernest Cole Charlie Mitchell, newphews, of St. Louis Mo., and Mr. Wm Cole, of Louisville, Ky. The funeral was held at Mt. Zion Baptist Church Friday afternoon. Many friends came to pay their last tribute of respect to the departed. The church was nearly filled at 2:00 o'clock, the time for the services arrived. Rev. J. A. Brown told in a few impressive words of the life and MR. T. H. CANNON, Assistant Chief, of Fifteenth Avenue Baptist Church. work of such a citzen who had been suddenly called away on Wednesday, February 21st.

METOKAS AND GALEDAS ORGANIZE Young Men and Young Women of the Baptist Sunday Schools of Nashville Form a City Union--Plans for the Coming Sunday School Congress CARNEGIE LIBRARY'S ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION End of First Year's Work Marked With Appropriate Exercises Carnegie Library Negro Branch, locaed on Twenth Avenue which has just closed its first year. The anniversary of the Library was celebrated on Tuesday night, when a number of prominent citizens served on pro-gram. The organized Sunday school class work received a mighty boost last Sunday afternoon at the Pleasant Green Baptist Church when the Metokas and Galedas from the various churches of the city met and perfected an organization that is city wide, at which representatives from those classes already erected as well as those that are to be erected later on, are to take part. The plan and purpose of this work will be led by Miss L. U. Chambers, the national secretary of the Galeda Department and editor of the M. & G. Magazine, and Dr. J. A. Sharp, the superintendent of the teacher-training work and superintendent of the Metokas and Galedas, was set forth in a brief talk made at the opening of the meeting by the Secretary of the Sunday School Congress. The coming together and the forming of the organization is to be known as the Buffalo Hunt. This unique plan was worked out through the national secretary of Galedas Department, and the class from the several churches will be given Indian names. These names when angled or interpreted in English will have a different meaning. The meeting opened with a song by the congregation. "Blest be the tie that binds." There was Scripture reading and prayer by Mr. Marshall of the Pleasant Green Baptist Church, then the Metoka and Gaeda song led by Mrs. C. J. White was sung. There was a short address and then "Christian Soldiers Marching" was sung in such a way as to work up the meeting to the highest possible religious fervor. The meeting was then turned over to Miss Chambers, who in turn, introduced Dr. Sharp, who afterwards presided until the officers were elected. Dr. Sharp had hardly taken charge of the meeting when the house was thrown into the greatest possible enthusiasm by the entrance of the Metoka and Gaedales from the North Fifteenth Avenue Baptist Church, perhaps a hundred, marching in single file led by their pastor, Rev. A. W. Porter. As they entered the church the congregation began to applaud, and before they were seated the cry of "What's the matter with the Fifteenth Avenue Church" and "What's the matter with Porter" was taken up and for about three minutes this was continued. The chairman stated that A large number of the patrons of the Colored Branch of the Carnegie Library, situated at the corner of Twelfth avenue, North, and Hynes street, attended the exercises held Tuesday n.gift to ceatebrate the close of the first year's work of this popular institution. Men of prominence made addresses and a report of the first year's work was made by Miss M. M. Hadley, librarian, M.A.Blake, M. M. Hadley, librarian, Mr. A. N. Johnson, president of the Board of Trade, presided as master of ceremonies. Mr. G. H. Baskette, President of the Board of Directors, addressed the gathering on "The Library as a Civic Factor." In his address he stated that the patronage and support given the institution by the colored population of the city was a splendid tribute to its civic value. It is estimated that one hundred thirty-four meetings of a civic nature had been held in the club rooms of the library by various organizations and societies. Mr. Baskette stated that the officers would have to be beeled.b out that each officer would have to be named in accordance with Indian names, which resulted in the following: Mr. Thomas Marshall, of Pleasant Green Church, was elected as Chiee. Mr. Thomas Cannon, of the Fifteenth Avenue Bapt st Church, was elected Assistant Chiee. Mrs. C. J. White, of the Fifteenth Avenue Bapt st Church, was appointed Corresponding Secretary, Miss Laura Brooks, of Fifteenth Avenue Bapt st Church, Tomhawk. Recording Secretary. Mrs. Octavia Elkins, of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Wampum Treasurer. Then the following Sunday schools with their several classes, which is only a partial list, made up the tribes: Foster Chapel will be known as the Chickasaws, which when interpreted means Restless, orEqual Citizenship. North Third Avenue Baptist will be known as Aztecs, which means "Bullers". New Hope Sunday School will be known as Pawnees, which means "Men-of-War". The Hopewell Baptist Church Sunday School will be known as Creeats, which means "Peace and Industry". The Second Baptist will be known as Narragansett, which means "Ready at any time". The Fifth Avenue Baptist will be styled as Pegued, which means "Union and Strength". The Mt. Zion Sunday School will be the Appalachian, which means "Every Member Active". The Talentocle Baptist will be known as the Soux, which means "The Troopers". The Neo-Noble Chickasaws, which interjected means "The First, Rest, or the Brave". The First Baptist, East Nashville, will be be the Creeks, which means "The Uprisers, Members Deense". The Pleasant Green Baptist will be the Cherokees. "The Fighting Tribe". The Fifteenth Avenue Baptist will be the Algonquin, which means "Every member present, or the Winning Tribe". The Mt. Olive Baptist will be known as the troupels which means "Strong in Number Confident of Victory." The selecting of these names for the various organized classes, which represent twenty-six in all with their announcement, was received with much applause. Chief Marshall then took charge of the meeting and delivered a splendid address. The offers were all installed by the sec THE LIBRAR MARY CELE car's Work Marked Exercises this spirit of promotion among Nas- vice's colored publication is pro- duced not equalled by any other city in the country.

Lewis, superintendent of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church Sunday School, was read by one of the boys of Nashville who is now attending school at Hampton Institute and who is a member of Mt. Olive Sunday School. The young man writes the following: "Adj. Gen. Henry Boyd, of the A A. Cudds. Nashville. Tenn. A. Cadets, Nashville, Tenn.: "Dear Sir; I regret to hear of the death of my Sunday school superintendent, Rev. T. J. Lewis. Our church, the Mt. Olive, has lost a great leader, but as the Great God seemed pleased to call him we should go on and have this for our motto: 'Aim high, aim far, your aim is the sky, your goal the stars,' and take the life of Rev. Lewis as a guide and you will succeed. I shall never forget how Rev. Lewis labored and struggled with you in an cort to get our boys on the Sunday school school when it met in Birmingham, and I am glad to say that the military training I received from the A. F. Cadets has enabled me to go through the major training we receive at Hampton so easily. When school is out I intend to aid Captain Bosworth in this work, it must not fail, it must go on. In our battalion here we have over six hundred boys and the military discipline is as rigid as if you were at West Point. May God bless you and my class, which is No. 11, taught by Mr. C. H. Binkley.

B. J. DAVIS. The Supreme Court of Georgia on Wednesday vindicated the magnificent four-story Odd Fellow Hall Building and the magnificent Auditorium as shown in the above cut. This property and the buildings located on Auburn avenue, Atlanta, Ga., is estimated at present to be worth one-balf million dollars. The buildings were erected by the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows in the State of Georgia under the direction of Mr. Benjamin Jefferson Davis whose cat is also shown in the above illustration. It is regarded as the most magnificent vile of property owned by Negroes in the United States. It is in the center of Atlanta and stands as an evidence of Negro activity. The victory of Mr. Day's is regarded by his friends of Nashville as being complete in the vindication of his position and contention.

While it is not believed that they want to build three tabernacles as did the disciples after they had seen Moses, Elias and Abraham, but it is said that it seems to be the concussions of epiphany of the larger tabernacle in that of the First Baptist Church, in East Nashville that be procured or built if the citizens of Nashville who desire to take advantage or this occasion to bear the scholarly discourse by the pastor of the First Baptist Church are to be accommodated, for it was REV. W. S. ELLINGTON, A. B., D. D. Pastor First Baptist Church. East Nashville. evident even at 10:30 last Sunday that the First Baptist Church, East Nashville, located at the corner of Steward and Mark streets, would be entirely inadequate for the mammoth concourse of people who were going to the church for every direction to even get within sight of the door. So immense was the crowd filling the street cars going to East Nashville that the street car officials declared that practically every car from 10:30 until near near emptied its contents at the getting off place for the First Baptist Church. They were compelled to run double cars to accommodate the church-goers and admirers of the distinguished divine. One of the things that helped to attract to the meeting Sunday was the fact that a revival was in progress and the Rev. Mr. Burns, who had been assisting Dr. Ellington, had been preaching powerful sermons and many sinners had been brought to Christ. Exceptors of Dr. Ellington's sermon of last Sunday were taken, who said in part: "I will arise and go to my father." Luke 15:18. The marable of the prodigal son is the Pearl of the parallels; and yet there is nothing so extraordinary about the conduct of the prodigal. He left home and wasted his substance with riotous living; thousands of young men are doing that every day. The downward road is an interesting study because so many people are traveling it. May the Holy Spirit help us this morning to learn some valuable lessons as we sit, as it were in the house by the side of the road and watch the sons of men go by in search of worldly pleasures, the Satan never shows the smile end from the beginning. If the young man who is afraid to take his first drink, he is the deprivacy and death bait in the intoxicating cup, and throw the cup away are it touched it's lips. Most drunkkids took their first drink with no evil intentions; they were simply looking for a good time. The young woman who permits a libertine to dance with her at a fashionable ball does so with no desire of becoming like him in character. She has a horror for a life of shame.

Oh, that the Holy Spirit may dwell with us as the great threat of white and black, come that the Holy Spirit may come with them. The men's meeting Sunday afternoon will be long remembered. The prayer service in the afternoons is saving from two to three souls. We believe the Christmas are going to battle against sin till the devil will know that God still lives and he has soldiers in the battlefield that are fighting sin right and left and the victory will be for God and His people. We feel and know that Rev. S. R. Skelton is a real God-sent man, for no man could do the good work that is being unless he be sent from God. Our prayers are that success may always attend his efforts. This meeting will hast throughout next week. The funeral of Izora Howard was conducted Sunday at Mt. Zion Baptist Church at 10 o'clock.

Hawkins our true and past pastor preached a most able sermon Sunday, February 25, 1917, at 11:30 o'clock. His text is in Psalm 94:3. "Lord how long shall the kicked triumph?" His subject was man's question and God's answer. He made his theme so plain that every man could understand him. Man asked the question, Lord, how long shall the wicked triumph and God answered it. The wicked shall be cut off in their wickedness. They will prosper only for a short while. Dr. Hawkins made such a beautiful illustration on the subject. I wish every human soul in the world could have heard him. Rev. Hender- ```markdown ``` son of the Baptist Church also preached a noble sermon to his congregation at 11:30 o'clock.

"What is back of it all?" was the question of a guardman on the Mexican border the other day as he saw the prompt, efficient and comprehensive way in which the Young Men's Christian association had risen to its opportunity and had planted a chain of forty buildings along more than 100 miles of coastline equipped with facilities for mastering to the comfort and profit of the troops, and manned the enterprise with one hundred and fifty workers. The same question arises in the minds of others when first confronted with this movement which is manifesting itself in so many different forms and adaptations in its service for men and boys the world GROWTH IN EXTENT. Why have Young Men's Christian associations been planted in nearly 3,000 centers in North America? Why have over 700,000 young men rallied to their membership? What has made these societies a model for young men? What are the ideals and habits of millions of the youth of the present and the preceding generation? Why has the association become one of the recognized educational movements of our day? Why has it won a unique place in the development of the young men, and women of middle age? GROWTH IN MONEY. What has led discerning men and women of means to invest in association buildings and building funds in North America alone $100,000,000, and why have these sums increased decade by decade almost at a geometric rate? Why have the rich, and those of small income as well, come to the support of this institution with increasing sums from year to year until they now supply annually for current expenses over $11,000,000? What explains the fact that railroad companies and industrial corporations have devoted over $8,000,000 from their regular funds for per capita expenses? What is the work among their employees? Why do the workingmen themselves give to the same cause out of all proportion to their relative ability? GROWTH IN MEN. What is there about this movement which has attracted more than 125,000 railway men into its ranks? What has attached 75,000 students and professors to the association and made this organization the great fact in the religious life of our colleges and universities? What has made the association such a power that young people are in the shaping of character, in the raising up of leaders for the colored people? Why have the war and navy departments of the government and the military and naval officers of our forces given every facility for fur- ARCH TRAWICK Chairman Colored Work, Y. M. C.

Why have the leaders of virtually every nation at war welcomed the co operation of the North American associations on behalf of the tens of millions of men in the training camps, in the reserve camps, on the trenches, in the hospitals and in the prisoner-of-war camps? What led the missionaries, the civilians, and the government to adopt a Christian world to appeal for the help of this particular organization, so that as a result it has within less than a generation been transplanted from our shores to nineteen countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America?

Building It's for Nashville The Young Men's Christian association is recognized as an essential agency in every progressive city. It has come to be an integral part of every well-organized community. It has been recognized in city, state and nation and approved by the church as an essential factor in preschool life. Nashville, like every other community, has its Young Men's Christian association, those disposed to find fault with it bring pride to see it and point with pride to its achievements. The good name and service of the Nashville Young Men's Christian association is "A Question of Community Pride." As one citizen expressed it, "I am for Nashville and therefore I am for the Y. M. C. A." To Finish What We Began The Nativistle Y. M. C. A. is not get a finished product. Our Y. M. C. A. is like a child suffering from faulty nutrition. It has never had enough to die on since it was born. Only those close to the inside affairs of the association are fully aware the work of the associations has the Christward movement among young men and boys increased in volume? Why do the leaders of the churches regard the Young Men's Christian association as such an indispensable servant? Again in the words of the guardianman, "What is back of it all?" Y. M. C. A. KNOWS HOW. Back of this wonderful progress and achievement lies the deep and clear conviction of men who have studied the facts about the life of young men, that the Young Men's Christian association is particularly fitted to meet their needs and to develop, conserve, and call into helpful action their powers. CO-OPERATION The association, as its name implies and as its history shows, is a product of team work and team play. Its members have exemplified a rare power to co-operate. The association has blended in common effort the most active, proactive, and deferential men of the churches. There are men who work like that of a group or a body of men who This makes possible results great because of a community or a nation which would be absolutely impossible were these detachments to assistive services to working in separate detachments. UNSELFISHNESS The unselfish use of money has been a potent factor in the achievement of the association has been printed in pamphlet form, and is still available for those interested. Notwithstanding this, there be those who have criticised the association for taking the stand which it found necessary to take to get even the paltry sum received from the city. Cities like Chicago give free water to the Y. M. C. A. Cities around Nashville give special rates or free water to their Y. M. C. A.'s but the Nashville Y. M. C. A. does not even get a rate." This is another reason why the Y. M. C. A. needs money, and would very easy. Misses Mary Scott and Bessie B. Searcy spent the week-end at home with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Searcy.

Those who know most about it appreciate most thoroughly the difficulties with which the Y, M, C, A, has had to contend. This issue of "Better Nashville" seeks to furnish information which gives reasons why Nashville should "FINISH A Project Well I-gun." In all fairness, this should be done if the Y, M, C, A, in Nashville is to do what is expected of it. We are prepared with Young Moms' association in a proper way. Therefore the finishing of the project is a real question of community pride, for we wish to build and boost Nashville. To Provide for Nashville's Colored Men. Nashville aws something to her colored citizens. Even those who do not comprehend this agree that something should be done for colored people in Nashville for our own sake. To provide for Nashville's colored men is a good "safety first" policy. But beyond that, we should provide for Nashville's colored men because of the value to the city of the colored citizenship. In addition, we should respond to the call for association movement. What is money? It is stored up personality. Think of what a force has been released and put to work through the many millions devoted to this object. What use of money could be more productive than that of relating it to the plans which have to do with determining the character, activity and destiny of the young men of a nation. We can wonder that men and women are building for this work at home and abroad, and to assume the support of secretaries to plant and extend the move. COURAGE. "What is back of it all?" The visions the enthusiasm, the spirit of adventure the readiness to attack hard things which require the courage to face them. Their responsiveness to high duty, their favrable willingness to undertake large projects, their ability to bear the weight of great responsibility, ex plain why this movement has been helped rather than hindered by its chief diffuse enthusiasm. SERVICE. The explanation of the achieving power of the association lies further back than has been thus far indicated. Its unselfless motive is that it presses its own意志 go far to explain the wonderful results. President Wilson, in laying the corner stone of the association tailing at AT City, emphasized this principle: "Nothing is more vital to this country than the association of men together in that were not for private interests. No man ever organized a Young Men's Christian association for his own benefit. No man ever expected, if he were a true Needs Mone appear also to be "A Question of Community Pride." With the failure of friends to redeem their pledges, and with the expense sustained on account of the Capitol boulevard, and the Y. M. C. A. paying interest on a building indebtedness of $168,000, it has been impossible to prevent the accumulation of a current indebtedness. This is the "Why the Y. M. C. A. Needs Money," as well as "A Question of Community Pride." Add to this the purpose for which the Y. M. C. A. was organized. are doing nicely. A large number attended the 11 o'clock sermon Sunday. Rev. S. J. Hunt preached a powerful sermon. The W. W. Club met with Miss Worthom Monday afternoon on Church street. Misses on behalf of Nashville's colored men cause of their real need. Here's an opportunity to meet human need in our own community. The colored men's branch Nashville Y, M, C, A. is without question one of "Nashville's Next Needs." The response to this cut therefore to provide for Nashville's colored men is in a real sense in question of community pride. What will Nashville do? The Way to Do It. The board of directors of the Nashville Y. M. C. A. has decided to ask the people of Nashville in a single campaign to finish the project well begun and provide for Nashville's colored men. To do this a fund of not less than $15,000 should be provided. Elsewhere in this issue detailed statements are made showing just why this money = needed, and what it is needed for. We believe that Nashville will provide the project which Nashville began and that Nashville will provide for colored men. We will do it as a real question of community pride. Nashville can do what Nashville ought to do and Nashville cannot afford to do less. man, to make a spiritual profit out of it. Because if you try to do good to other men you cannot do good to them. The only thing that can vitalize a great association like this is for men to forget themselves and try to serve the greatest principle which explains the greatest creative power of the men who have most influenced the character and spirit of the THE CHURCH "What is back of it all?" The Christian movement notes that the springs of the Young Men's Church are the same. THE SPIRIT OF JESUS. Back, back of all stands the Lord Jesus Christ—the Fountain Head of all vital or life-giving energy, all in the Young Mets's charismatic energy that is enturing all that is truly multiplying, all that has had or still has transforming and world-conquering power is traceable to Him. Back of the vast numbers and the mighty organization, back of the money power and the power of human personality, back of gifts of leadership of community, well to serve in the statesmanship and the wonderful volume of human devotion and activity—in its true relation to the Living God in the life of the Young Men's Christian association. As we face the coming years, we must be prepared to face the same yesterday, today, and forever. In proportion to the reality and intimacy of the relation existing between the leaders and members of the associations and the Divine Lord will be the productive power and spiritual outreach and influence of the association movement.

Myers, Proctor and Dewitt Ford, doth of Jackson College, Jackson, Miss,, were in the game from start to finish, Captain Proctor made many asensational run, after gaining ten and twenty yards. ‘The firs totichdown for. the Sophomores. was made by “Big” Tom Williams, the husky 225 pounder from. the "Lone Star State.” Williams played end.

About forty miles eastward of Por- to Rico lies a group of islands that have recently been the subject of ‘much discussion in the American ‘press. In all, they number fifty, al- ‘though there are only three of them which are well-known. Those three are St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John. Each of these three islands is un- ique in its distinguishing character. Ist, St. Thomas is noted for its fine ‘arbor, and itis also an authority ox rum, although the variety of rum which St produces is of a very temper- ate variety, being nothing more nor less than bay rum. St. John boasts the production of the finest bay leaves in the world, and thus aids ‘materially in the world-wide reputa- ‘ton of ‘ts sister island, St, ‘Thomas, ‘St. Croix, or Santa Cruz, as the Span- ‘ish has it, also contributes to the ram: ‘fications of the liquor industry, Tihs time however, it Is the genuine article in the form of Santa Cruz rum, ‘The general appearance of the Is- land of St. Thomas is that of the suns ‘mit of a submerged island, ‘The is. land fs thirteen miles in length and averages approximately two miles in width. ‘The surface of the is!and is given almost entirely to a continuous chain of hills, which make agriculture along modern lines almost impossibel For this reason practically the entire population is obloged to depend upon the harbor to furnish them a means of subsistance, ‘Tho harbor of Charlotte Amati, St, Thomas, is indeed a most excel- lent haven of refuge for all classes of sea-coing vessels.

In the former island the lines are operated by the local govern- ment. If an American were to go to St. ‘Thomas and enter into agricultural labor, there is little doubt but that at the end of the first week he would owe his employer money for working. ‘The average wage for labor of this variety is 25 cents per day. It in: cludes board and lodging and the privilege of keeping chickens or goats, but the element of thritt 1s so obvious: ly lacking from such employment at such compensation that there is little danger of there ever being strong com- petition between domestic and foreisn labor tn this fleld. As a general thing the natives prefer to work at the docks whenever there 4s work to be done there, for the reason that this pays the magnificent sum of $1 per day. ‘The island of St. John was at one time a very prosperous agricultural field, ‘The cost of production of agri. cultural fruits and the abolitions ot slavery has caused the development of the fsland to be neglected until at the present time the raising of bay trees fs about the only industry in this line which is thriving, ‘The topogra- phy of the Island Is prohibitive of the ‘use of madern implements and this fs another discouraging element. St. Croix, on the other hand, is esnectally adapted to agricultural pursuits, and ft the present time there are approx: imately 45,000 acres under cultivation ‘on the island; 12,010 acres are devoted to the production of sugar cane, 2,000 products, | ‘The people of the Danish West In- ‘dies are for the most part mulatoes. ‘It Is also true that the color line 1s not at all sharply drawn in any of the islands. The officials of the islands come mostly from Denmark and repre: sent the Danish aristocracy. ‘That the people in general are miserably poor is undeniably true. Waxes are so low that they never can get ahead, On the sngar planta: tions the average daily wage ts 25 cents for nine hours work, Until Jan- nary, 1916, this wage wes 20 cents but by means of a general strike the natives stieceeded in getting the extra 15 cents. These people, as might be supposed, are an easy-going, care-free race, and are crodulous to a fault, Well, we-ve got ‘em, and now we've got to do something with ‘em.

BOYD, Secretary 523 Second Avenue, North, MAINHILL, T GROW KIN BY SANANTONIO, TEX. O. J. Carter, Church Clerk, Tell of Enormous Work Done by Pastor and Congre- San, Antonio, Tex.—(Special to the San Antonio Vibe.)—"Brother Master of Ceremonies, Pastor, Associate Pastors, Members and Visitors: It is eminently fitting and proper that the church meet at least once per annum and invite others to come help us rejoice over the triumph of sin and Satan through the arduous toll and constant watchfulness of his minister. We come today to pay homage and render deference to the Rev. I. H. Kelley, who, after laboring in this wicked city for a period of thirty years where sin and debauchery are to be found almost in the air, and men have taken license for liberty, and thought it no small matter that every imagination would tend to evil. Entering as we are upon the fourteenth year of our beloved pastor, let us first take a retrospective view of the past, and the condition upon which he came. When it pleased the God of the universe to send him to us, he was already pastoring a splendid edifice, making a living salary, and perhaps felt more at ease and at home where he was. About six months before he came the cold and merciless hand of affliction took hold of our former pastor, and we began to seek earnestly for some one to lead the flock. Here he told of the difficulty experienced in electing a pastor and how the church chose Rev Kelley, and counted said: "So we wrote him and when he visited us we sa wIH him was in the very prime of life, having keen wits and vigorous manhood, and he was in the twilight of Biblical knowledge, with a wonderful power to diffuse the same, we set about to in duce him to accept the church But our pastor was a determined worker, having an insight far beyond my conception, and the energy to induce the members to accomplish infinitely more than I believed they could, and we not only paid the pastor's salary, but we began to pension the Church Clerk, raised the janitor's salary and put on city airs and hired an organist and paid that salary of ten dollars each month. When I saw that the impossible was actually being brought to pass, I knew myself that surely goodness and mercy has followed us, and this God's ambassador has opened my blinded eyes. When Rev. Kelley took charge, we had a membership on our rolls of exactly four hundred and sixteen watchcare members, and only a part of them, of course, actually about the Master's business. In rendering the report, I must first thank the All-wise Giver of all that is good and helpful for the success of the church and for what has been accomplished during these years. I am not unmindful of the tremendous task of the pastor, and the assistance rendered me in the affairs of the secretary by the pastor and members of the church, and I most solemnly thank each one, both collectively and individually for all that has been accomplished. We have kept pace with the times, and have indeed made Twentieth Century progression, not alone from a financial standpoint, but we have worked very harmoniously and each member has done his whole duty in many respects for the upbuilding of NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MARCH 2. 1917 God's kingdom on earth. Of course in speaking of each member I refer to those of the membership who have proven by their works that they are members in fact and showthat they are not members in name only, for "by their works we do know them." I wish again to call your attention to the harmony that has prevailed, and commend the lurch and pastor for their work, and the magnitude of our church and the nine hundred or more members to deal with, each with a different mind and opinion, and each to a greater or lesser degree controlled by his opinion, even in the affairs of the church, we can realize the difficulty in maintaining absolute peace and harmony. When we take a retrospective view of the progress of the church under the leadership of Rev. R. H. Kelley, its pastor, and its energetic pastor, and compare the conditions when we took charge about thirteen years ago, we cannot help but exclaim, "God be praised!" When it pleased God to send us the present pastor, we were worshiping in a small frame building, buildings and grounds being valued at about ten thousand dollars and had a membership of about four hundred. Shortly after Rev. Kelley took charge of the church we set about to bring into reality the thing which we had been discussing and hoping for for a number of years—the building of a new church, and through the wise leadership, the cautious movements, the absolute honest and upright dealings of Rev. Kelley and his cabin, and the membership of about nine hundred. we have today a stone church valued hundred thousand dollars with a The church has been very fortunate indeed, and has never suffered to any great extent on account of the modern Achan, but the pastor has recently [Name] MR. OLIVER J. CARTER, San Antonio, Tex. Clerk of the Second Baptist Church, Secretary of the Gaudalaupe Association. reorganized the membership in a manner in which there can be but little leakage if there would be and also that each member can be more easily found and a direct record of the financial standing of each member be kept almost accurately. Too much praise cannot be given the pastor for this last move in electing forty-eight Governors, with two Presidents to look after the financial affairs of each member, for in a city such as ours, which covers a distance of more than forty square miles, and the members living in each section and in every direction, it can readily be seen the importance of such an inner organization. The upkeep of the church has been of minor consequences and the bills for repairs of such little importance that it will not be necessary to mention them separately, and they will be found in the budget of current expenses. A few months ago the tower of the church was struck by lightning on a Sunday night about midnight, and damaged the same to the extent of about fifty dollars. The plumbing has been out of repair for three or four times, but was immediately looked after. We enter the new year under the most favorable conditions and circumstances. We are living in a period of upheavals, in a time of actual wars and rumors of wars; in an age when even the churches are not by any means running along smoothly and harmoniously, in a time when the high cost of living has made the life of the average man an uneasy one, and caused the laborer to be confronted with a serious burden to even secure the ordinary necessities of life. Yet through the Providence of God and the instrumentality of its minister the church is secreting information. We meeting our expenses, and adding to the membership almost each time the services are held. In fact, our records show that we raised more money during the year just closed than we did the previous year, notwithstanding phenomenal advance in the cost of living. From all indications the present year will be the banner year of the church, for under the Governor system it will be possible to collect from the membership almost daily than weekly, and the church will depend upon the Governors rather than wait a whole week for the member to bring his contribution to the church. I wish to call your attention to the fact that while it is true we have a very heavy expense account, we have kept up our usual charitable and missionary offering, and ours will compare favorably with that of any other church of its size. Our pastor has been so very zealous respecting missions, that his last act in the year just closed was to take a missionary offering. In the summary of collections it will be noticed that several minor collections are left off, because there are times when the Secretary is absent and the party taking collections at such times very rarely ever reports the same to the Secretary, hence they are not recorded. This is especially so in the prayer meeting services. It may be that a few names of those who joined the church are left off the roll also for the same reasons given above. In reporting the abundance of work done under the supervision of our pastor, Rev. I. H. Kelley, with his loyal members following and heeding his counsel and advises, I must first give a detailed report of the work done in the year just closed, and the work by months for all of the preceding years. It would be too voluminous and tiresome to you if I were to attempt to detail the work accomplished by the church during the pastorial period. Hence if will suffice here to detail the year 1916 only. It will be next to the impossible to give an accurate account of the actual membership of the church, for as all city churches, the members are very much like Tennyson's famous brook, they with their names left on the books of the church, continue to roll on forever, and very often we never hear from them after they once become a member. As stated elsewhere in this report, when Rev. Kelley took charge of the church in February, 1904, we had a membership of exactly four hundred; and sixteen watchchair members, we at one motion dropped the names of two hundred thirty a few years thereafter, and the next two years dropped the names of four hundred fifty by a single motion; we have dismissed about forty members by giving them letters by their request, and they have died at about the rate of eight per annum, making a total of about eight hundred twenty members dismissed by death or otherwise durdied. We have also seen that church now has a membership of seven hundred rine, and two hundred watch members. This shows that during the past thirteen years, one thousand, three hundred and thirteen members have been added to the church, and an average of more than one hundred per annum. During these fleeting years, the church has made very rapid silderides, and improvements too numerous to mention here, but I might add that we have also gotten along very well as a family of a single unit, and for the most part in absolute harmony. Of course every regulated family has own internal church units, but the church in order that they may more fully agree, for mutual happiness and contentment.

We have we have in addition to the above sum of $2704 collected through this adjunct, and $000 collected by the Woman's Home Missionary Society, making a grand total collected by the church and its auxiliaries, not including the B. Y. P. U. and the Christian Aid Society, $85,890 53. Thus we see that during the pastoral period, the church has collected annually an average of $4535.4, 7:13 for each year. We will well to inform you that we enter the fourteenth year's work of the pastor with a balance of only $11,000 due on a magnificent building. I would worry your patience to give an account of all the expenditures of the church, but it suffices to say we have a handsome balance to the credit of all departments. The church should indeed congratulate itself upon having accomplished so very much during the present pastorate, and the pastor should feel highly honored in having the distinction of leading a host that has accomplished so much for God and humanity. When we pause to consider the great work of the minister, and how carefully he must step, we can say with the Judean statesman of old, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, thy God reigeth." The pastor's feet have been very beautiful, the writer cared not whether the feet were distorted by corns and bunions, he cared not whether the messenger wore an eight or twelve shoe nor even whether he wore a shoe at all, but that his feet would lead him in the paths of upright righteous living and to the Lord of God. Rev. Kelley has met the test, and has proved a worthy minister, whose feet have trodden down the mountains of sin and unrighteousness, and have led him a noble calling; he has planted his feet on higher grounds, and preached the gospel of frugality, uprightness, peace on earth and good will to all mankind, and has lived up to his preachment. He has inspired his parishioners to "not sit up and sit, but to git up and git" in working for the Master, Remy Kelman. O. J. CARTER, Clerk Clerk $220,000.00 JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, WHITE. The papers report that there is to be a Junior High School for whites built in the city of Little Rock and equipped at the enormous cost to the people of the Little Rock Public School District of $220,000.00. The contract for such a building has already been let, and 20-year bonds have already been sold to meet the expenses. As we understand it, the school is to be equipped with every conceivable modern improvement and everything known to modern science that will go for the development of the mind and body, social position and inspiration, and moral tone of the white youths of our city. This great building is to be added to the already many handsome and extensive school buildings for whites in our city. When we begin to think All Steel Equipment. Handsome and Homelike.

He has always believed in the fairness to a large degree of the white man, he has been a defender of the white man's policy in many things, but it appears that those in authority are forgetting their duty to their wards, the Negroes. It is well understood by all men who think that the Negro is not in a position to help himself as against the power and influence of the white people; that they are free and privileged characters, can do as they absolutely please so far as the operations of civil government are concerned and their treatment of different race varieties are concerned, and yet it was to be hoped and believed that an advanced civilization, the spirit of the Christian religion, the spirit of humanity would so act upon those in authority that they would not permit themselves to be so forgetful toward a weaker people. CENTRAL From the West. South. Southwest and Southeast The Negroes have only a few small school buildings about the city, not enough to even decently accommodate their children. In some instances, we are informed that the half-day policy was for a while forced upon the teachers because of the crowded conditions of their rooms. $S_0$ far as the conveniences are concerned, there is no comparison between the white school and the colored. The Negro children have not a decent place to eat their lunches, are forced as of yore $S_0$ to sit around when it is clear in the yard on the ground and dispose of their little lunch. When it is raining, they are forced to eat upon their desks, and thus grease and incapacitate the desk for decent book service, while the accommodations for the whites along this line measure up to the ideal. It is to be hoped that some pressure will be brought to bear upon the school authorities of our special district to give a little better show to the Negro youth. It may be, however, that the Negro will have to wait a great many years before he will receive his just deserts, but God is not dead, and it is the history of nations and races that where one powerful race took the advantage of a weaker race, where that powerful race arrogantly like the lion appropriated all to his share, and the weaker like the monkey had to take what was given him, and sometimes barely escape with his life after helping in the chase, history proves, we say, that somehow or other God inter- PULLMAN TOURIST SLEEPING --- SR THE INDUSTRIAL & AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT ILLINOIS CENTRAL CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ROUTE RAILROAD EXCURSION TICKETS To Chicago and points beyond can be obtained of agents of the ILLINOIS CENTRAL and connecting lines.

This coupled with industry and economy and great hustling will eventually bring the weaker race to its goal. —The People's Defender.

Vites tiie elite 2 tua: Dentin te, ‘The war clouds seem to still be hovering over our national life but not to such an extent as formerly, Blood seems ot to be so warm, tension seems not to be so high as @ week ago. The indications are that the clouds possessed more wind than real rain. It is the opinion of the editor of the People's Defender that neither Germany nor the United States were anxious ta go to war with each other. ‘The United States government has felt its way cautious. ly. The president has been exceed- ingly particular, Congress has been Very guarded. While Germany has Rot disregarded its policy of sub- marine warfare so far as the public goes, but it seems so far as the car- -rying out of the rea] policy that it, too, has adopted the eoft-pedal method and is not nearly so rabid as at the beginning, or as the public mind first contemplated. ‘The president has de- ferred his visit to Congress to ask for national power for war purposes, in fact, it bus been publicly an- nounced that the president will not go before Congress and ask for the power to declare war, but will sim- Ply ask for power to protect Ameri- ean rights and American citizens. It 4s very clear to the thinking mind that everything is being done possi- Ble to prevent a real encounter be- tween the two governments, While Bngland is continuing her blockade ‘against Germany. Really the condi- tions appear “that the war will not last anything like as long as it has lasted. —The People’s Defender. VANGUARD EXCERPTS, No. 1—“Attorney J, R. Booker has Purchased a car and placed the same at the disposal of his father, This means that the “old man” can easily accept frequent country appointments or give frequent lantern shows with any and all churches on or near the pikes and within twenty or thirty miles of Little Rock.”—Vanguard, We call attention to this little editorial No. 1, not because we object to the president of the institution having an automobile, in fact, we are delighted to see any man who is able to have one, have ft, but the thing that the editor of the People’s De fender objects to is that he is at tempting to fool the folks, for, mark you, he says that Attorney J, R. Booker bought an automobile. Now, Mr. President, there is no use try: ing to pull the wool over the eyes of the people for you know good and well that Bob has not any automobile except, possibly, in name; that he had nothing to buy an automobile with. It is simply a ruse of yours in the opinion of the editor of the People's Defender to deceive the peo: ple, for you remember that when the editor of the People’s Defender and Dr. J. P. Robinson bought an automobile each, that you said through the Vanguard that they had stolen the people's money with which to buy them. Now you feel what Is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, that the people will rise up and say that you siole the money with which to buy you one, and therefore you lay the burden upon the shoulders of your innocent son. ‘There is no use trying to mislead the people. the sun is too high, the people are thinking too much to be misled in that way. In fact, you make bad matters worse and put peo- ple to talking about your insincerity when you attempt to ruse like that. The people everywhere are laughing in their sleeves at the smooth piece you are trying to play, talking about Bob buying an automobile. ‘The folks are not fools, and you need not try to play them for fools. ‘The fact is, you are trying to throw a rock and hide your hand. You said that the editor of the Poople’s Defender took the people's money and bought his, and you felt quite sure that it you said you liad bought one that the editor of the People's Defender would ask whose money did you steal to buy it, but the editor will not be so discourteous as that, he takes for granted that a man who had been at the head of an institution for thirty years ought to have made money enough honorably to buy an automo- Wile. If a man could not secure money enough honorably in thirty years at the ead of an institution to buy an automobile, it demonstrates his business incapacity, and therefore his incompetency to manage things. But, whew, think of it, that Bob NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MARCH 2. 1917. bas done more in a few short months than bis daddy and a few other men could do almost ‘in a lifetime at hard struggling, buy an automobile and place it at the disposal of his father, No use trying to fool us. Come out and tell us where you got the money, where you got your rake- off. Be as fair with yourself ay You were with the editor of the Peo- ple's Defender. Come out and tell the folks where ‘you got the money to get that machine. If you don't, Somebody may think there 1s some: thing wrong about it, especially when they discover that you are trying to hide behind your son. —The People’s Defender. DOING 17, UNDERDOING IT AND OVERDOING IT. A great many people underdo things. A great many people do things, a great many people overdo things. If we had to judge of the two negative classes, that is to say, the class that underdoes and the class that overdoes, we believe that We had rather accept the class who in some measure underdoes, for out of that class’ actions much good re- mains; but the class that oventoes may bring things to such a tension, ‘such a pitch, until the entire matter may burst and thus destroy all the food that was intended. This is al ‘most invariably the case with people who overdo things. For example, the Bone Dry crowd, or in other words the probibitionists who are at: tempting to do things in such a tense way until we judge that the final outcome will be that the strings of their bow will be wound up s0 tightly until they will finally break, and there will be no tune at all to their fiddle, ' A splendid prohibition law is es- sential. ‘The government has come to the ald of the prohibitionists tn that it has passed a law prohibiting the shipment of liquor into dry ter- ritory, or into states where the sale of lquor fs ofrbidden, We believe that more people have suffered from overdoing things, than they have from underdoing things. The great- est policy, the best plan is to do things. Mediocricy, middle ground, is usually the safest. Wither ex. treme has always proven dangerous and out of harmony with the best state of things, —The People’s Defender, FAYETTEVILLE.

PRESIDENT BOOKER GETS RAW. “The editorial published last week in The Peopte's Defender (!) all based on the statement thatt “If re ports are true,” ete, is a wilful, in- famons lie. Surely Dr. Gaines has Teached desperate straights and has Tesolved to ruin himself in trying to ruin others. In this case, ag in hun- Greds of other cases, the President invites investigation, But this is the thing that Dr. Gaines does not take the pains to give. He bases all his whoa attacks on pis personal spite and on ‘if reports are true, ete, We repeat: Come and sev, ‘it reports are true! "—Vanduard, ‘The clipping trom the Vanguard is copied and republished for the pur- pose of giving the public a bird's-eye view of the man aud conditions be- hind the pen. Evidently, the lan- suage portrays him in what may be commonly termed, in a very raw condition. The editorial referred to in the People’s Defender was under the heading “Near Riot at the Ar kansas Baptist Collese.” It is to be admitted that if the occurrence did not take place, and if there was noth- ing to it whatever that the editorial in question was enough to irritate to a very high degree those directly concerned, The editor of the Peo. ple's Defender did not assume the responsibility for what happened, or for the report, but there can Le no reasonable doubt whatever but that there was not a very hot time around the institution, The things that stings is that the Feople’s Defender got on to it and told the public about It, Heretofore those in authority have been able to smuggle and put under cover their mischief and un- polished conduct, but such conditions do not obtain any more since the People's Defender man is on the scene, The editor of the People's De- fender asked the editor of the .Van- guard when he without warrant put the editor of the People’s Defender out of the editorialship of the Van- quad, whether or not he did not think he was doing wrong, and whether or not he did not think he was putting out the wrong man. He received as an answer that the Vanguard had to subserve the poll cy of the president of the college and president of the State Convention. Ever since that day the editor of the People's Defender has been on is trai letting the people know some- thing about his conduet. There are two things about the editorial excerpt about which we would ke to call attention. First, is the language used ty the prsident in his little editorial, “wilful, infa-' mous lie.” ‘The elitor of the Peo- ple's Defender has been saying all along that he was not sufciently polished and did not have the real ability to be the president of the in- stitution, and in these few littie words he demonstrates to the world his incompetency. Being without argument or decent language, of proper sentiment of soul, he resorts to the language of the commoner, the rufa, the unpolished—"Wiltu, in: famous lie"—and thus sets up an ex ample for all the school force to be vulgar whenever they get in a cor troversy with tlielr fellows, The ex: pression ig simply the outcomings of a bad heart. In all of the writings of the editor of the People’s Dotender, le has never used lansuage that was fainted with vulgarity and ruffian ism, His contentions have always Veen right and just, and he has re- sorted to only polished, high-toned, gentlemanly means to combat and carry tem through. ‘The second thought in the edito lal te that he ausllee VOU Aves tigate. Tt _o-qhould undertake te investigate, who are they going to call on the stand as’ witnesses, for ba ft known toeverybody that neither stitdent nor teacher could be ,per- suaded to open thelr mouths, for they know full well if they were to tell the truth about any occurrence: around there that off would come their heads. ‘They know and ” héve felt the pressure of the iron heel of ‘the president, and like slaves with = maar ey would ot i "ae the truth about any ‘that they knew were against his willy ‘because if they were teachers they ‘would be dismissed, summarily put ‘aside, and regarded as fighters of the ‘institution, It they were students ‘they would be abnsed out of chapel, ‘sent home in disgrace. Well does ‘he know that no investigation could avail anything there, But there are ‘plenty of students and teachers, too, who know that the occurrence was true, or that there were considera Me things happened around there and that the editor of the People's Defender did not make the report about a Indy member of the faculty going home for a gun, Tt was brought to him by those who were on the ground and saw and heard the oc currence, You can't fool anybody. You know that the editor of the People's Defender knows and that eversbody else knows who 18 ao quainted with the iron methods that no investigation could reach ther troth of matters, ‘Then again, the: little editorial intimates that Dr. Gaines, the editor of the People’s De fender, should have investigated be fore ne wrote upon the matter. But Dr. Gaines, the editor of the People's Defender, is simply following the tactics laid down and the plam adopted by Dr, Booker, the editor of the Baptist Vanguard, for it is well known to everybody who has takem any interest in public effairs as 16 applies to Baptists and so a8 it applies to the editors, that the editor of the Vangua"d bas cared nothing whatever for an investiga tion nor for the truth of things whem it came to any question relative te the editor of the People's Defender, that the Vanguard has carried all kinds of reports known to be untrua, Ubellous and scandalous about the editor of the People's Defender. It he wanted to be fair, why did he not investigate the reports and allegar tions made by Mr, Cook, and made by himsolf when he said that the edt tor of the People’s Defender had stolen the money of the Unton Dis ‘trict Association and bought an aw tomoblle with it? If investigations, were right and if men should not say anything until they had had a thor Jough investigation, why did he not investigate?
