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. The following old soldiers took charge of the body and mourned the lost of their comrade: Messrs. Mat White, Ed Hudson, Geo. Copeland, Austin Polk, John Cocks, Dock Davis, Rev. Jones and James Degraffenried. His home was open to preachers without expense or charges. Following the services the body was carried out to its last resting place at Greenwood Cemetery. The pall-bearers were chosen from among the old soldiers from the civil war. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, EAST. NASHVILLE. The revival services which have continued for two weeks will close tonight.

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. Shed aces with the stranger perhaps as ignorant of his real character as an infant is of a leaded pistol. When she "finds him out it is too late she had been caught in the moses of his well-defined. Most people go astray with no evil intentions. Satan charms the youth with the promise that it is "good to make one wise" while he conceals the faming weapon of death. 4-16.

Church, but all the pastors and members of all the churches are in this meeting fighting sin. Oh, we are happy to see the union of the Christian family. The success is very great and we are still praying to have greater success. Our pastor, Rev. A. J. Russell, and the other pastors are doing all in their power to help the great man that God has given to have success. 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.

"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. (Born in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ossie Taylor a ten pound baby girl. Mother and baby --- CENTRAL Y. M. C. A. BUILDING. of this. 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.

LENT. Day after tomorrow is the second Sunday in Lent. Not all of the churches set apart the forty days of lent for formal observance, but it might well be included in the calendar of our churches. For properly observed, Lent may be made a helpful season to all thoughtful, earnest men and women, whether Christians in fact or by name only. It is a period for re-conservation and regeneration. Lent is not to be approached or regarded lightly, but rather should be considered prayerfully, reverentially, thoughtfully. Many of us observe Lent in a shallow way, carefully adhering to its outward forms while failing to understand its deep significance or its message and therefore deriving from it no real help or benefit. But so it is with religious matters always; so much of it is merely "going through the motions," in conformity to habit or in recognition of customs established by society. There is such current mis conception of the purpose of Lent. The shallow understanding of it is that it is a season for the crucifixion of the flesh, whereby we gain merit by denying ourselves some of the material comforts and inducements which we most dearly prize. Such is the superficial view of Lent, as we find it portrayed to the irreverent so-called humor of our humorous periodicals. But if that were all of Lent, it would be of no value either to the church or to the individual. It is true that self-denial has a part in the proper observance of Lent, but only a part; it is not the thing itself. Lent is a time for spiritual inventory, for spiritual stock-taking, for spiritual introspection. It is a season for calm contemplation of the serious realities of life. It is an opportunity for closer communion and fellowship with God. It is a time for consideration of the higher, nobler things of life. In Lent we reach back into the secret recesses of our souls and bring out our ideals and remove the dust of disuse from them and returbish them and set them up again in the inner shrines of our hearts and pay homage to them. Lent is a privilege, not a penance. Lent is opportunity, not discipline. Much of our lives is devoted to friendliness and to beardlessness. Much of our effort is given to ministering to the desires of the flesh. Much of our energy is exerted for the purpose of accumulating material possessions by means of which we make our lives comfortable and easy. Much of our time is wasted in gratifying our love of sensual pleasures. It is well therefore, that we should on occasion pause in the midst of our worldly activities and take thought of the things which are eternal. "Man cannot live by bread alone," said the wisest man who ever lived, and no truer thing ever was said. Man has a spiritual being as well as a physical being, and as he wills, he can nurture it or he can starve it. But only as he cultivates his spiritual nature will he be able to derive from life its deepest joy and its supreme satisfaction. Much contemplation of the things which are material makes in en gross. The force struggle for existence in which we are all engaged, the unceasing striving for the means of livelihood under the compulsion of necessity, the contest for place and power and wealth—these things keep us down in the pit among the wolves, our eyes upon the ground and our thoughts only upon the struggle. We need at times, therefore, an impulse to lift our eyes to the stars, to dwell on the great mysteries of the universe, to inquire hence came and whither we go, to search our hearts and mind that we may ascertain what our purposes may be, to ask for enlightenment and to pray for understanding and humility. "Come ye apart and rest awhile"—such is the invitation of the Master, and Lent affords us opportunity to accept the invitation, in gratitude and fullness of heart. In Lent and its devotions the worn and the weary may find peace and rest for their souls, the sorrowing find solace for their wounds, those who mourn be comforted, the doubter and the discouraged renew faith and hope, the joyous realize new joys, the serene become yet more serene, and the devout attain to yet greater heights of exhalation. By such means is life made fuller, sweeter, more complete and more worth while. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his spirit; for the spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." Such is a layman's conception of Lent. Dillard School Rally The patrons of the Dillard and Morten school met with the Dillard school February 22nd in a rally to raise funds for a new school building. At 1:30 o'clock the house was packed to its utmost capacity. Prof. R. T. Butler. County Supervisor was selected chairman. Miss Stella L. Howse, teacher of Dillard school addressed the meeting and expressed her gratification on having the honor of securing the farmers and visiting teachers. The new school building seemed to be uppermost in each mind. Supervisor Butler outlined the possibilities now almost visible by a little effort on the part of the patrons. Mrs. Mattie D. Bracy, teacher of Morten School spoke on the Union of patrons and what might be accomplished by these community organizations. The editor of the Sentinel was introduced and gave some timely remarks. He urged the absolute necessity of self help. He said that these community gatherings are infusing new life in the rural districts. Prof. Butler in a few remarks "cared away all doubts and stumbling blocks and asked "Doubting Thomas" to step aside and let education and progress march on by appointing a committee of seven to look after the proposed new building.

SOPHOMORES MASSACRE By D. T. (Flirver) Ford. Lincoln University, Penn. Dec. 9, 1916. The most interesting game of foot ball of the season was played on Lincoln University campus Saturday. Dec. 9, 1916. A clean game of foot ball that would do credit to any of the major teams of the east was staged between the Sophomores and the Freshmen teams. The game was stubbornly contested from beginning to the end and only the quick thinking of the "Sophs" saved the game. The teams were about equal, but from a standpoint of merit and versatile playing, the Soph's team was the superior. It may interest some by knowing that the teams of each class were composed of boys from the Southern states, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi. Myers, Proctor and Dewitt Ford, both of Jackson College, Jackson, Miss, were in the game from start to finish. Captain Proctor made many a sensational run, after gaining ten and twenty yards. The first touchdown for the Sophomores was made by "Big" Tom Williams, the husky 225 pounder from the "Lone Star State." Williams played end. Now when Waters, the star quarterback, signaled for a forward pass, Williams rushed through the Freshmen's line and caught the piskik running until he was under the goal. This seemed to take the "ginger" out of the Freshmen and before they could get themselves together the Sophomores had piled up three oth-er touchdowns. The class spirit exhibited on each side of the field was strong and showed the real sportsmanship of our men at Lincoln University. After the game the Sophomores had a big dinner and at night the Sophomores orchestra went to the gymnasium and had a free-for-all hep. We have had snow here each day since December 12th and although it is deep in some places, we are yet on the alert and expect to do our best in all things. Perhaps you may be interested to know that we have organized an interstate club, in which Texas, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi are well represented. The purpose of this club is to keep our boys' from the far south together, to keep before them the fact they have a duty to perform in the Southland. Sophomores Freshmen Ford . . . l e . . .

The president called the class to order at 8:30. After the opening the teacher, Rev. A. W. Porter, in the usual way discussed the lesson and brought out some very interesting points in the lesson, after which the roll was called. Quotations and dues were next in order, to which the members very readily responded. We had two Metoka visitors present who made a few remarks and complimented the class on the good work they were doing. Plans for a parlor concert were discussed for the near future. After all business the hostess, assisted by her sister, Miss Princess Swift, servied a very tempting ice course, mints and fruits. HOLY TRINITY CHURCH. The Ladies' Auxiliary of Holy Trinity Church met in their regular meeting Sunday afternoon at the residence of Miss Bridgewater on Lea avenue, with a full attendance. The president, Mrs. W. J. Hale, presided Father Wright said prayer. Much business of importance was discussed and transacted, and the minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary. The ladies were dighted to have as their guest Father Demby of Keeling, Tenn., who is in charge of the colored work in the Tennessee Diocease, the president of the Episcopal School at Keeling. He made a very excellent and helpful talk which gave much strength and inspiration to all present. Another pleasing feature of the afternoon was the reading by Mrs. D. Wellington Berry.

UNGLE SAM NOW THE OWNER OF FIFTY MORE POSSESSIONS INTERESTING INFORMATION CONCERNING THE DANISH WEST IN DIES WHICH COST THE UNITED STATES $25,000,000—COLOR LINE NOT SHARPLY DRAWN IN ANY OF THE ISLANDS INHABITED MAINLY BY MULATTOES By Charles R. Flandreau Introducing our newly-acquired friends—the Danish West Indies. They are some fifty in number, and cost $500,000 each. Make their acquaintance, because at this price they are valuable Friends. About forty miles eastward of Porto Rico lies a group of islands that have recently been the subject of discussion in the American press. The number fifty, although 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 unique in its distinguishing characteristic. St. Thomas is noted for its fine harbor, and it is also an authority on rum, although the variety of rum which it produces is of a very temperate are变性, 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 reputation of its sister island, St. Thomas. The island has the rum as the Spanish has it, also containingifications of the liquor industry. This time however, it is the genuine article in the form of Santa Cruz rum. The general appearance of the island of St. Thomas is that of the summit of a submerged island. The island is thirteen miles in length and averages approximately two miles in width. The surface of the island is given almost entirely to a continuous chain of hills, which make agriculture along modern lines almost impossible. For this reason practically the entire population is obsoiled to depend upon the harbor to furnish them a means of subsistence. The harbor of Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, is indeed a most excellent haven of refuge for all classes of sea-coaling vessels. It is protected by nature from the violent ocean storms by means of an outer fringe of small islands, and is also well lighted and buoyed. This harbor is in direct line of communication between European ports and the entrance of the Panama Canal, and is also in direct line of the course between the Atlantic ports of North and South America. St. John is the smallest of the three islands, while St. Crox is the largest, wealthiest and most thickly populated. The executive power of the islands was, previous to their purchase by the United States, in the hands of a colonial governor appointed by the Denish crown. It is a matter of history that since March 30, 1666, Denmark has exercised absolute control of the islands except for a few months in 1801. There are two distinct colonial councils in the islands which are vested with legislative power. One of these is situated at Christianstead, St. Croix, and the other at Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas. Two of the cardinal points of the franchise requirements are unique in the originality. They are: First, the applicant must own real estate which yields a monthly income of $5; or second, his personal income must be at least $300 per annum. Another requirement, which is undoubtedly purely of West Indian origin, is that the voter must be of unblomished character. Without, casting any reflections on American politics it is timely to say that this qualification might work well in the American system. One of the landmarks of antiquity One of the landmarks of antiquity which still exists in the Danish West Indies is the whipping post. Although the Danish crown appointed local judges from the kingdom of Denmark to rule for life in the islands, these ancient methods of punishment are still to be found throughout the Island. It is possible that the United States may see fit to give the erring simmers of the islands an opportunity to compare the modern instrument of torture with their accustomed ones. The school system of the island is in excellent shape and under the supervision of the present school director many new buildings have been erected and the system has been brought up to modern standards in general. Education in the islands is compulsory between the ages of 7 and 13. The courses of instruction do, however, vary somewhat from those in vogue in the states, as it has been the aim of the Danish government to instruct the inhabitants of the Danish West Indies in practical subjects, such as agricultural pursuits, etc. The present enrollment in the public schools is 3,500 pupils. Two sessions are be'd every weekday and are longer than the school session. The United States has 7 to 11 in the morning, and 1 to 4 in the afternoon. The teachers are for the most part natives of the island who have received special courses of instruction at Copenhagen. The salary paid the incumbents of these positions is not large enough at present to entice dispensers of education from other parts of the world to any great extent. Grammar school teachers receive $30 per month and high school teachers receive $60 per month for twelve months in the year. There are two newspapers in St Thomas which are published daily. These papers get their outside news from the West India and Panama Telegraph company, which issues daily bulletins of information concerning the outside world. These daily papers differ from the American papers in the respect that they give the outside news in a very brief form. With a cable rate of 50 cents per word between New York and St. Thomas or St. Croix, it is not to be wondered at that they take just as little as possible. The islands of St. Thomas and St. Croix are also provided with ample telephone service, there being central offices in St. Croix and out in St. Thomas. In the former island the lines are operated by the local government. 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 includes board and lodging and the privilege of keeping chickens or goats, but the element of thrift is so obviously lacking from such employment at such compensation that there is little danger of there ever being strong competition between domestic and foreign labor in this field. As a general thing the natives prefer to work at the docks whenever there is 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 agricultural fruits and the abolitions of slavery has caused the development of the island to be neglected until at the present time the raising of bay trees is about the only industry in this line which is thriving. The topography of the island is prohibitive of the use of modern implements and this is another discouraging element. St. Croix, on the other hand, is especially adapted to agricultural pursuits, and at the present time there are approximately 45,000 acres under cultivation on the island: 13,000 acres are devoted to the production of sugar cane, 2,000 to cotton and 30,000 to miscellaneous crops. The people of the Danish West Indies are for the most part malatoes. It is also true that the color line is not at all sharply drawn in any of the islands. The officials of the islands come mostly from Denmark and represent the Danish aristocracy. That the people in general are miserably poor is undeniably true. Wazes are so low that they never can get ahead. On the sugar plantations the average daily wage is 35 cents for nine hours work. Until January, 1916, this wage was 20 cents, but by means of a general strike the natives succeeded in getting the extra 15 cents. These people, as might be supposed, are an easy-going, care-free race, and are credulous to a fault. Well, we've got 'em, and now we've got 'em, and with 'em Sam paid $25,000,000 for the islands, but he knew what he was buying, because he took pains to find out something about them; through the medium of the special agents of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce.—Chattanooga Times.

There was never gathered a more intelligent, earnest and business set of men and women than the assembly of the stockholders of the Mis- B. KING, Mississippi. Beneficial Life Insurance Company. sissippi Beneficial Life Insurance Company which convened in Indiana. Mississippi, February 9, 1917. This corporation is now in its eighth year of organization. The year 1916 witnessed its greatest growth, there being an increase of about fifty per cent over the previous year. It now employs more than 200 young men and women, all intelligent, thrifty hustlers. During the year passed it paid TUART, Mississippi. Special Life Insurance Company. back to its members in sick and death benefits more than thirty-five thousand dollars. It has lived its way into the confidence of the people of Mississippi. It is now recognized as an unfailing protection. Dr. W. A. Attaway of Greenville conceived the idea of a Life Insurance Company for Negroes in Mississippi. Like Christopher Columbus he was without the means of accomplishing the object of h's dreams, Columbus applied to the Queen of Spain. Attaway applied to the Negro king of finance of Mississippi, the late much beloved Wayne W. Cox. Mr. Cox with a business vision seldom excelled in an saw gold in Attaway's dream.

Unfortunately the strenuous business life led by Mr. Cox all too soon impaired his health and ended his earthly career, but in this Company he left to his memory a monument and to his people a benefactor. At the recent meeting of the stockholders, Dr. J. E. Walker of Indianola was elected president, Dr. Walker is also president of The Delta Penny Savings Bank, the largest bank owned and operated by colored in the world and one of the two only colored banks in Mississippi. Dr. Walker is a man of large and growing practice. He is a young man of education, energetic, progressive, affable and enthusiastic so that there is every reason to hope and believe that the Company under his supervision will make even greater progress than in the past. Mr. M. B. Burnette of Indiana was elected vice president. Mr. Burnette is also cashier of The Delta Penny Savings Bank. He is the embodiment of accuracy, honesty and efficiency. He easily assumes in so far as it is possible for any man to do so the place of W. W. Cox as the financial sage of Indiana. Reserved, reticent always, yet he runs mentally as deep as the sea. The Company made no mistake in adding this financial genius to its official roster. Mr. Sam P. Hurst of Clarkskale was the first vice president. The Company is glad to honor his financial giant of the North Dakota is a man of means and respectability, and we hope to have his active interest in promoting the Company's interest. We come now to the most notable, most known and in our opinion one of the most valuable figures connected with the Company. We refer to Mrs. Minnie M. Cox, the widow of the late W. W. Cox. She owns more than half of the Capital Stock of the Company; but her value consists not only in her financial worth. Her quiet, accomplished, lady-like grace DR. J. E. Indianola, President of the Mississippi Beneficiary and commanding influence over those with whom she comes in contact is one of the most valuable features of the Company. She was elected Secretary-Treasurer. We venture that she is the only woman of color in the world holding such a position. She accepts the exact duties of this position in order to perfect the work which her late husband began. Her people in Mississippi highly appreciate her public spirit in thus helping to extend this most valuable enterprise. Your editor gracefully and thankfully accepted his re-election to the position of General Manager of the Company. Mr. Geo. W. Cox was e-elected assistant general manager. He is a young man full of劲, enthusiasm and as competent as can be found. His efficient could hardly be duplicated. Mr. T. S.

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.

Noth- an they ought not sufficient to the editor of about it and make comparisons with the accommodations made for the Negro improvement, Negro advancement mentally, physically and morally, we are astounded at the advantage that the dominant race permits itself to take of the weaker race. The equipments in the schools for whites are simply sublime. Nothing more, however, than they ought to be, and they are not sufficient to arouse the prejudice of the editor of the People's Defender, but he feels chagrined and somewhat discouraged when he is forced to behold the public dealings and public opinions of the dominant race as it relates to his own race. 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.

It is the opinion of the editor of the People's Defender that neither Germany nor the United States were anxious to go to war with each other. The United States government has felt its way cautiously. The president has been exceedingly particular, Congress has been very guarded. While Germany has not disregarded its policy of submarine warfare so far as the public goes, but it seems so far as the carrying out of the real policy that it, too, has adopted the soft-pedal method and is not nearly so rabid as at the beginning, or as the public mind first contemplated. The president has deferred his visit to Congress to ask for national power for war purposes, in fact, it has been publicly announced that the president will not go before Congress and ask for the power to declare war, but will simply ask for power to protect American rights and American citizens. It is very clear to the thinking mind that everything is being done possible to prevent a real encounter between the two governments. While England is continuing her blockade against Germany. Really the conditions 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.

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 it, but the thing NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MARCH 2, 1917 has done more in a few short months than his 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 as you were with the editor of the People'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 is something wrong about it, especially when they discover that you are trying to hide behind your son. The People's Defender. DOING IT, 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 remains; but the class that overdoes may bring things to such a tension, such a pitch, until the entire matter may burst and thus destroy all the good that was intended. This is almost invariably the case with people who overdo things. For example, the Bone Dry crowd, or in other words the prohibitionists who are attempting to do things in such a sense way until we judge that the final outcome will be that the strings of their bow will be wound up so tightly until they will finally break, and there will be no tune at all to their fiddle. A splendid prohibition law is essential. The government has come to the aid of the prohibitionists in that it has passed a law prohibiting the shipment of liquor into dry territory, or into states where the sale of liquor is orbidden. We believe that more people have suffered from overdoing things, than they have from underdoing things. The greatest policy, the best plan is to do things. Mediocrity, middle ground, is usually the safest. Either extreme has always proven dangerous and out of harmony with the best state of things. FAYETTEVILLE Misses Myrtle and Eugenia Bonner have just returned from Nashville where many social affairs were given which attested their popularity in the city.

Surely Dr. Gaines has reached desperate straights and has resolved to ruin himself in trying to ruin others. In this case, as in hundreds 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 ubset attacks on his personal spite and on 'if reports are true,' etc. We repeat: Come and see, 'if reports are true.'"—Van9ward. There are two things about the editorial excerpt about which we would like to call attention. First, is the language used by the president in his little editorial, "wilful, infamous lie." The editor of the People's Defender has been saying all along that he was not sufficiently polished and did not have the real ability to be the president of the institution, and in these few little words he demonstrates to the world his incompetency. Being without argument or decent language, or proper sentiment of soul, he resorts to the language of the commoner, the ruffian, the unpollished—"Wilful, infamous life"—and thus sets up an example for all the school force to be vulgar whenever they get in a controversy with their fellows. The expression is simply the outcomings of a bad heart. In all of the writings of the editor of the People's Defender, he has never used language that was tainted with vulgarity and ruffianism. His contentions have always been right and just, and he has resorted to only polished, high-toned, gentlemanly means to combat and carry them through. The second thought in the editorial is that he invites you to inves ORPHEUM WEEK MARCH 5th-5 MATINEES GUS HILL'S BIG CARTOON MUSICAL COMEDY ANS UND FRITZ ALL DON'T MISS THIS ONE, IT IS A SCREAM!

HANS UND FRITZ At last those two irresistibly comical and ubiquitous kids of cartoon fame, Hans Und Fritz, which R. Dirks, originator of the famous KATZENJAMMER KIDS, has made so popular, are to find their way to the stage. GUS HILL, who was the first manager to see the possibilities of the cartoon behind the footlights, is sponsor for the latest offering bearing the above title. It is a musical comedy with plenty of pretty girls and clever comedians, singers and dancers. It is practically a play set to music, but with enough wholesome fun to provide entertainment for the most exacting and critical playgoer. The production, which will be the next attraction at the Orpheum Theatre, one week commencing, Monday, March 5th with five matinees, is in three acts. The KATZENJAMMER ANGELS, as their proud mother, MRS. KATZENJAMMER, is prone to call them, are the same mischief makers as of yore. In this particular piece their resourcefulness seems to possess more scope. At any rate, their inventive genius is faunted conspicuously, much to the merriment of audiences and the discomfettion of the Captain and Schwiegers, both who continue to play KATZENJAMMER without winning her heart in the long run. The familiar characters we have learned to idolize because they have succeeded in bringing with them a ray of sunshine, are very much to the fore—particularly Louis and Violet. HANS UND FRITZ have three acts in which to make trouble and they do so to the Queen's taste. They get lots of fun out of life, and why not? That's what we live for. Facinating females, plenty of lively and fitting tunes, appropriate scene investiture and costly and original costumes are conspicuous among the unusual show. The cast is a large one and every member may be looked upon to give entire satifaction. Those who have seen this latest dispeller of mirth, predict a much greater vogue than that accorded MUTT AND JEFF and we all know popular those gentlemen are. HANS UND FRITZ. A theatrical treat out of the beaten path is promised at the Orpheum Theatre, week of March 5, when the famous HANS UND FRITZ, creations of R. Dirks, the noted cartoonist, will be the light of stage form. The latest offering which is the work of that successful manager and purveyor of amusements, Gus Hull, is in three acts and three scenes. It contains, in addition to an absorbing and irresistibly hilarious plot, many unique features, exclusive musical numbers and song hits, and a scenic investiture of more than ordinary pro portions. Three acts are required to tell of the adventures of the two in corrigible youngsters. A. CARD. Mrs. Saille B. Harwell and family, children of the late Mrs. Maria Crawford, gratefully acknowledged the expressions of sympathy and the many kindnesses shown them in their recent bereavement.

The Nerros of the State, and especially of the coast section, are beginning to show considerable interest in developing plans for a successful showing in the Centennial Exposition. At first, there were a few "Thomases" (doubters), but at present, every one is showing a willingness to aid the well begun work. Exhibits are being collected already; funds are being received at the Director's office; and plans for the entertainment of the thousands of visitors who surely will come to The Great Waterfront Place in Mississippi are being perfected. The Director, Prof. Johnson, is very much encouraged "with the outlook" as he expresses it. It is being realized already that the management made no mistake in placing the Negro Department in charge of Mr. Johnson. His plans are simple, yet well founded. With the support of his people and the white friends of the Negroes, much of which is pledged already, a credit table showing shall be made. W. H. JONES, Publicity Agent. A Great Meeting Already Assured A Great Meeting Already Assured MR. A. J. TOPP, DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT OF THE GREENWOOD DISTRICT HOLDS AGENTS' MEETING. Mr. Topps has sent letters to the office force and officers of the company, inviting them to come over to Greenwood to a great meeting he has outlined for his agents in that district on March 9th, 1917. There is no doubt about this meeting being a great success and very beneficial to the agents of that district. There will be present with Mr. Topps on this occasion some of the officers of the company. There will be rendered a program at night. Special preparation is being made for the success of this program. Some of the topics from which discussions are to be selected by the agents during the day of the agents' meeting are as follows: Why We Should Carry Insurance and Carry It with Our Own Folks. The Insurance Agent's Duties to Policy Holders, Company and Self. Getting and Holding Business. The Ideal Agent. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MARCH 2, 1917. THE MUSIC BAND Claim Adjustment. Competition—Its Value. It is a design of the agents as well as some of the citizens of the town that our Mr. V. L. Reubin be the principle speaker on this occasion, which of course was granted to this district by the General Manager. We are sure this is going to place so much vigor, inspiration and determination in the agents of this district that other districts of the State will have to hustle in order not to let them be. At no time in the history of the company that man here shown he self more liberal than the year of 1916. At the stockholder's meeting which was held at Indianapolis, Miss, Feb. 9, 1917, the Industrial Department of the company in its annual report showed an increase in its business equal to any for the same period of time over the same territory. We found at the end of the year that we had an organized system of ten districts with managers over them. These districts for a year's work were figured out by percentage as to their respective values to the company, which resulted as follows: Of the Districts Which Began at the Beginning of the Year. The Tupelo District is the Banner District. Mr. J. W. Porter the superintendent of that district, cannot be overpraised, for last year he was found with his district at this same place, heading the list as the banner district. He and his agents, one among them being Mr. W. W. Barnes, have shown the greatest percentage for the year. We might also add that Agent W. W. Barnes has established himself as being the best agent in the state for our company. He is re- hogs, chickens and with some farm implements, would bring a gross in come of over $1,800 per ear. The operating expenses would not be over $900 here, there would be a clear profit of over $900 annually which would be amply sufficient to pay for the farm in less than three years, and at the same time give to the owners of the farm all the advantages to be derived therefrom. DEATH OF MRS. C. C. COLEMAN. Oakland, Cal., Feb. 21.—Death claimed Mrs. C. C. Coleman, the wife of Rev. G. C. Coleman, D. D., the pastor of the Richard Clark Baptist Church of this city on the 17th of the month. Mrs. Coleman had been ill but at ew days. Her death was a great shock to the entire city, as she was well and favorably known. Dr. Coleman had been pastoring 1 There was shown an increase of $38,000.00 in industrial business for the year for Mississippi alone. These figures do not take in any of the business recently taken in by the company through the recent purchase of the Union Guarantee and Insurance Company of Jackson, which gave to our company an increase in business of about $80,000 a year, representing outstanding risks of $25,000. We without this business included made up of the Company of Mary Mississippi of a gross business of more than $1,000,000 in the industrial department and $140,000 in the St4traight Life Department, giving us to start with for the year 1917 nearly $2,000,000 worth of outstanding business in force, which from an insurance point of view is a very healthy and vigorous volume of business for one state. The reason we have made such an increase is partly due to the fact that we have done what we could for those who saw fit to cast their lot with us and permit us to carry their names upon our books as insured. Happily we can say that we have paid back in sickness and accident claims the sum of $27,777.31. We gave this amount to take care of the living. We have placed medicine in their reach so that they might again become well and enjoy one of the greatest blessings of life, which is good health. We have sent to them daily doctors selected by themselves, and while they were unable to go and do as usual, and had no way to keep a supply of raiment and food on hand, we kept these things going for them. From time to time some of these sick ones would come to the end of their existence, and then we sent around the undertaker, and we handed this year to the undertaker and beneficiaries something over $5,000. This was done for the people of Miss sissi. Of course you may know that such a vast amount of business, mostly collected in nickels and dimes all over the state in every pig path, could not be done by those men and women who came together and organized this company and gave their lives and money for its maintenance. But it took hundreds of people, all of the race to help carry this great volume of business on. So throughout the state the company has employed hundreds of men and women, and has made the recent addition of the agency force of Union Guarantee and Insurance Company. These men and women did not work only for glory. They worked for pay and they were paid for their services. Out of the many thousands of dollars that were collected by them, we paid back a handsome litle sum of $44,513.38 There are many plans on foot for the year 1917, so that we may be able to show a double increase in efficiency and work done. We are sure that those men and women who are the representatives of the company to the people are proud of what they have done, as shown here, and in other places, and feel able to really go forth to war and fight a greater bat the than has ever been fought. This year will count for itself. We shall let you hear from us along this same line another year from now. No doubt you remember such an article as this last year. If you can find that article, then compare this one with it and you will be able to ascertain what was accomplished by the company for 1916. THE MASTER We found at the end of the year that we had an organized system of ten districts with managers over them. These districts for a year's work were figured out by percentage as to their respective values to the company, which resulted as follows: Of the Districts Which Began at the Beginning of the Year. The Tupelo District is the Banner District, Mr. J. W. Porter the superintendent of that district, cannot be overtrained, for last year he was found with his district at this same place, heading the list as the banner district. He and his agents, one among them being Mr. W. W. Barnes, have shown the greatest percentage for the year. We might also add that Agent W. W. Barnes has established himself as being the best agent in the state for our company. He is reported by the company as keeping the best conditioned agent account of any agent we have. We do not mean by this that other agents are poor, for we have others and numbers of them who are not. We do not mean that as this district for two years has been the leading district in the company, this agent had to be mentioned to help show where Mr. Porter got such results. Each agent should strive this year to carry his district to that mark and bring the Tupelo District down. Two years are enough for one district. The districts stood for the year as follows as reported to the stockholders of the company: ADVOCATE FARMING AND STOCK RAISING. In a letter received in this city from Rev. E. C. Edwards, who resides at Gladys, Miss, he places himself squarely upon record as favoring entering into the stock-raising and agriculture business. Rev. Edwards in writing to a Nashville man of prominence says, "I am writing you this letter to ask you if you would like to invest in a stock farm consisting of horse, cattle and hog raising with agriculture as a part of the venture. I offer my service to conduct and operate this farm, and would be satisfied to begin the work if you can purchase about two hundred acres of land for grazing, stock-raising and paperyly adapted agriculture. I am familiar with farmer and agricultural versed in the care of stock and cattle. With the present conditions as they are, the only independent living today is that the farm. If you could procure these two hundred acres in Northern Mississippi or in any portion of Tennessee, it could be divided up to be applicable to the needs of this particular adventure. Afterurm allocation and after a due consideration of what I am seeking to interest you in I feel sure that 2,500 invested in this land in a house, in stock, cattle hogs, chickens and with some farm implements, would bring a gross income of over $1,800 per ear. The operating expenses would not be over $200 hence, there would be a clear profit of over $300 annually which would be amply sufficient to pay for the farm in less than three years, and at the same time give to the owners of the farm all the adantages to be derived therefrom. DEATH OF MRS. G. C. COLEMAN. Oakland, Cal., Feb. 21.—Death claimed Mrs. G. C. Coleman, the wife of Rev. G. C. Coleman, D. D., the pastor of the Richard Clark Baptist Church of this city on the 17th of the month. Mrs. Coleman had been ill but at ew days. Her death was a great shock to the entire city, as she was well and favorably known. Dr. Coleman had been pastoring in this city for the past four years, and is prominent in all Baptist affairs. Aside from being pastor of one of the leading churches of the state he is the recording secretary of the California Baptist State Convention and is editor of The Oakland Sunshine. At the funeral services of Mrs. Coleman many beautiful tributes were pa'd her, as it was brought out that her home was sunshine for all who came within reach of it. Messages of condolence were received from every portion of the United States. Dr. W. S. Ellington in Annual Sermon (Continued from page 1.) regulated Christian home. There is something, radically wrong with the heart in an individual that does not love its home. The first part of the power of the profligal is a warning to all sinners and the latter part is an example to penitents. Self-will was the root of bitterness that sprang up and choked out his better self. He wanted to go out into the world and be his own master. God is our Father and we are his sons. His rule is spiritual and his voice is our conscience. Disobedience means degradation. The fall of the prodigal dates from the moment that he claimed his rights and separated his interests from those of his father. The prodigal was guilty of ingratitude. It seems from the context that his father had done all in his power to make his home the happiest place on earth for children. It was one of those beautiful country homes about which诗歌 sing, philosophers reason and see their problems. The need for a home was so great to spare, but he lived on his own farm and had servants working for him in his fields.

M Tis better to have it and not need it according to the customs of the ancients, he had shoes for their feet, rings for their fingers and an orchestra to make music for them while they reclined at the banqueting table. And yet the prodigal cared for none of these things. He loved darkness rather than the light because his deeds were evil. He preferred the swine troughs of Satan to the riches of divine grace. He was a wayward child, he did not love his home. He was also guilty of the sin of deception. It reems that he attempted to conceal the real purpose of his leaving home from his father. His request has a business ring to me. And he divided unto them his living." It is a joy to fathers to give their sons their share of the estate that they may invest the same and learn to do business for themselves. But the prodigal wanted, his part of the estate that he might waste it in dissipation. Myy oungf riend, every hour on spend in sin is an hour wasted. You ought to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; you ought to remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, while the evil days come not and the years draw nigh in which you will say, "I have no pleasure in them." After all the prodigal deceived himself far worse than he did anybody else. He went off looking for a good time but he found nothings but rags, hunger and shame. He left home looking for companionship preferable to the love of mother and the kindness of father, but when his course of dissipation was finished, he found that all his companions had deserted him except the filthy husk eating swine.

My young friend, you deceive yourself when you leave a home of love and purity and go forth with the whispered intention: "stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant." At last it will bite like a serpent and sting like an adder. I don at know ow long the prodigal remained in the far country, but he went back home as soon as he came to himself. It is sad to think of the modern prodigals who would rather d'e than to confess their sins and return to the waiting arms of Jesus. However, the way back home is plain and simple. The man who repents of his sins and trusts God for salvation and confesses him before men is saved. My friend, God is in you. You ought to open your eyes to see him, your ears to hear him and your hearts to receive him. It akesk ill power to leave the swine troughs of sin and come to the God of love and happiness. No oeward can do it, old habits have lettered him; he has jived in sin so clung until he has learned to love his chains, "I will arise and go to my father," is the voice of returning strength. Religion is an individual matter. The result that sins must die that is a debt that your loved ones cannot pay for you. On the other hand, nobody can serve God in your hands. I am sure that Satan you many hindrances in the way of the prodigal's return, but he surmounted them all and never stopped until he felt the pressure of his father's arms about him. My sinner friend, you have ligered too long in the castle of good resolutions. The last great storm is rising and your house built upon the sand is sure to fall. The Father stands waiting for you. Let me urge you to leave the haunts of sin as AEness left the flames off burning Troy, or as Lot left the flames of Sodom, or as the Israelites left the cathivity of Babylon and come now just as you are to Jesus.
