M. C. A. building recently purchased as the home for Negro men and boys of the city. The campaign started off lasa Friday night and from the very opening night the patriotic and loving women and girls of the city have had their shoulders to the wheel, being on hand each night to lend encouragement by their affectionate attention in seeing to it that the mea MR. W. G. TERRELL. Chairman of the Central Y. M. C. A., who gave $10,000 to the present campaign. A great Y. M. C. A. worker. who were working on the teams were given a real wholesome and delicious meal at 6:30 each evening. The service of these loyal women, the uniring energy that they have put into each night's work has proven one of the stimulants in the arduous task before the men. The women's auxiliary to the Y. M. C. A. under the leadership of Mrs. Clemni White. The efficient president, supplemented by volunteer workers, who have shown by their work the sympathy they have put into the movement; has meant a great deal at each night's report. Notwithstanding the downfall of rain on nearly every night, which has come down in torrents, they have flitted through the weather like fairies and when the magnificent dining room has been thrown open the service fit for a king has been the result. The dining room is beautifully arranged, being divided half in half for Divisions A and B. There is a great big table at the entrance of the dining room where the campaign committee is seated. Just next to this table at each end are two special tables for the generals, the lieutenant generals, his sec- Thompson, Mrs. Wm. Flagg. Saturday night, Mar. 24. Mrs. Clemmie White, Mrs. John Tate.

The linen, the silverware, the china ware, the mellow glow of the chandelliers and lights added to the presence of the mothers, wives, daughters and sweetheartss of the men at work have made each night an occasion to be looked for. Nearly every club in the city has contributed through its membership to this work. LADIES WHO SERVED AS CHAIRMEN EACH NIGHT.

Immediately after the purchase of the Duncan Hotel property as the future home of the Colored Branch of the Y. M. C. A. in the city or Nashville there sprung into existence an organization that is a credit to the women of the city. Pursuant to a call issued by the Secretary, Mr. W. M. Sanders, and his helpers about two or three hundred women gathered in the auditorium of this historic business and perfected an organization known as the Woman's Auxiliary of the Colored Y. M. C. A. The officers elected were: NASHVILLE. TENN., FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1917. M. Mrs. Clemnie White, president; Miss L. U. Chambers, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Cora Jordan White, recording secretary; Mrs. W. H. McGavock, treasurer, and Miss Katie A. Boyd, pianist. At this same meeting about forty-five captains were appointed to man as many teams. Each team was supposed to bring in twenty dollars on an appointed date. Enthusiasm ran high and at the end of the allotted time, which expired the second Sunday in March, the Y. M. C. A. auditorium was packed to hear President of the Nashville Trust friend to the Y. M. C. A. Miss Ada F. Morgan and Miss Will Allen Droomgoole and hear the reports of the captains. Miss Morgan is one of the best beloved religious workers among our people. Whenever she is to speak the people know they will be helped and enlightened. Miss Morgan spoke on "The Boys in the Teen Age," and qualified her statements with the facts that she was reared in a family of three boys to say nothing of her helping in the rearing of nephews. She said in part: "Special attention should be given to the quarters provided for the boy. Too often the worse apartments in the home are set aside for the boy, making him satisfy his love of the beautiful outside his own home. She told of her sister's experience with her young son. She was very much worried because this young boy preferred to spend his spare time away from home. Miss Morgan herself being home in the summer on her vacation, the sister confided her worries to her, asking her suggestions in the matter. After careful consideration they decided to beautify the boy's room. The old rug was taken out and another put into place. One or two needed articles of handy furniture wert also placed in the room. The walls were papered and pretty curtains put at the windows. A few even nights after the preparations were completed the boy came in bringing with him several of his companions and there after all his evenings were spent at with his little friends in his own room. We must be very careful not to underestimate the things held dear by him. Once a little boy who was rich surprised his mother by stating that he wished he was like Willie Jones. His mother was horrified and acclaimed. "Why, my dear, you have everything, a nice home, nice clothes and handsome toys. Why do you wish to be like Willie Jones?" Her son added further to her confusion by stating that Willie Jones could wiggle his ears. This was a case of a boy wishing to torego all the 1910 THE LATE MR JOE THOMPSON comforts of life if he could only wiggle his ears. Tou often no attention is paid to the boy during the growing period and when we find that he is grown and not coming up to the standard, then we worry and wonder why. My sister's oldest son as soon as he began to select his girl friends selected the very girl that his mother would not have him select. His mother could have scolded and told the boy of the girl's defects, but instead she waited, confident that his former training would assert itself. Her years of training and prayer were not wasted, for one morning the boy came down stairs and laying his head on his mother, shoulder sobbed and told her what he had discovered about this girl. I remarked to his mother that the boy's future was secure if he had enough confi- HELP NASHVILLE RAISE $20,000.00 Do Your Part by Our Boys by Securing a Place for Them to Get the Right Training. dence in her to put 'this matter before her. There is one book that the parents should give to the boy. No Sunday school teacher or outside person should be allowed to give it to him. He should be taught that Daniel, David and Samaei were all boys just like himself." Miss Morgan laid special stress upon the work the Y. M. C. A. wounds do in behalf of the boys and young men of Nashville and stated that she was willing to do all in lier power who was known to be a great to make the women's work successful Miss Will Allen Dreamcowg charmed her hearers with a general address that was very wide in its scope and deep in its conception. Walden University and Fisk University furnished music for the occasion. After the addresses the capitals made their reports amounting to $787.54. WOMEN SERVING WORKERS IN PRESENT CAMPAIGN PRESENT CAMPAIGN. The women of the Auxillary are serving the workers in the present campaign with supper each night at 6 o'clock. Tables have been set in the dining room and enthusiastic meetings are being held every night. Sumptuous suppers are served and each night the number of workers is increasing. Much praise is given the ladies for their helpful efforts along this line. --- A Good Citizen. THE TIME EXPIRES FRIDAY NIGHT Those Who Sulk in Their Tents Will be Responsible to Unborn Generations. Undaunted by the uncleant weather that has prevailed almost from the beginning they have addressed themselves to the task with the determination and the will. The report each night has been more encouraging and from the number of addresses delivered by Secretary S. W. McGill of the Central Association, W. O. Terrill, chairman of the Central Association; Mr. Morry, the expert campaign manager of Indianapolis, Ind.; Mr. J. C. Napier and Bishop I. B. Scott, chairman and vice chairman, respectively; Mr. S. E. Watson, the International Secretary; Mr. W. N. Sanders, the executive secretary, and a number of the Nashville pastors as well as workers on the teams have combined to keep up the deep interest manifested by the citizens of Nashville. In an address Monday night one of the white speakers said, "The would be Negra leaders who fail to contribute their support by donation or in cash or pledge to this movement which is being pushed so vigorously in behalf of firefighters in the city and to encourage leadership, which only means sacrifice and service for the masses, and who think that the white people of Nashville who are behind this proposition do not know that they are lying down are sadly mistaken." "Take it from me," continued the speaker, "that the white people in Nashville who are showing their interest in the future welfare and benefit of the Negroes in this city have their eyes on the actions of those who are working as well as serving those who are shirking. If we go down into our pockets to give to help the colored work, how much more should the Negroes themselves give to help themselves?" declare the speaker amid great applause and cheering. The report of the teams each night has been gilled with friend and service for the teams but between the divisions. Div. B started off in the race having been successful each night up to Tuesday night in making the largest report, but Division A has put up a stiff fight. Company 1 of Division A captured the individual pennant for making the largest report on Tuesday night, but it was immediately recaptured after fierce combat by Company 7 of Division B on Tuesday night. The reports are by nights by Divisions and Teams are as follows: REPORT FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1917 DIVISION A. Team, Cant, Cash, Subs, Total 1. J. A. Crockett $... 97 50 $ 97 50 2. J. M.

Landers had suffered from a nervous break down, and medical skill of the highest profession that could be obtained was called into service. He was brought to Nashville for treatment, and from Nashville he was taken to one of the best equipped sanitariums in the city. An operation was needed to last fall with a loop of bringing relief, but it continually worse and passed away in the sanitarium. His remains were taken to Tuskegee Institute where he had been joced since he graduated from Meharry Medical College for interment.

He was born at Tullahoma, Tenn., and got his early training in the city schools of Tullahoma and at the Normal and Industrial College located at Normal, Alabama, under the late Prof. Council. Many letters of condolence and expressions of regret were sent to the widow. Mrs. Edna Landers. Do Not Be Ashamed of the Songs Sung by Your Foreparents. The exercises were sublimely impressive. Rev. Sharp has the ability to make anything with which he is connected very substantially interesting. Music was furnished by the choir and it was very fitting that the Training Service exercises should begin by singing an annot written and composed by Negroes. Script lesson was read by Rev. H. M. Burns, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. L. Harding paston 3rd Ave Baptist Church. A duet was very beautiful rehearsed by Bellego and Miss Rebecca Covington. A representative of the Normal Class in the person of Mrs. J. L. Harding delivered an address that was well received. Mrs. Core Jordan White represented the Advanced Class. In one of the most wholesome and impressive addresses ever rendered, Dr. R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the National Baptist Publishers Board and founder of the Teacher Training Service, presented the diplomas. It is a noticeable fact that Dr. Boyd always makes his strongest addresses when he is most deeply moved. His words were, gems of inspiration and worth and every member in the class was glad to be able to receive their diplomas that sent them forth qualified as teachers of God's Word from this great and noble man who has proven to the world that he is one of God's anointed appointed to do a certain work. After Dr. Boyd's address the Rev. Mr. Sharp presented the speaker of the evening in the person of the Rev. Dobbius connected with the Baptist Sunday School Board. Never in the annals of religious work among Baptists have we listened to such a gem of literary art as was brought us by this distinguished gentleman. One point that was brought out in his address will long be remembered. He stated that he could no more make the literature for the Negro than he could make for the Japanese. He made God's word a thing of beauty, worthy of much and intelligent study. At the close of his remarks we felt as if the heavens had open and we had received a message just from the throne. The Class sang "Steal Away to Jesus" and Dr. Boyd asked that the congregation join in the chorus and so readily did they respond and so convincing in its sincerity and so sweet in its volume was the melody that issued from the throats of these God's afflicted people that we ceased to wonder that God has been so good to us, when we know that he cannot be saved from our sins and when we pour out our souls to him in song. Dr. W. S. Ellington brought us a message such as only can come from him. He advocated as he always advocates a careful and persistent study of God's word as the salvation of this and any other people. The member's finishing in this class were: Normal Department. Rev. E.

Because it grows out of a necessity realized by leaders of the church of God. It is not simply by young people, for young people; it is the leaders in a church doing what needs to be done for the young people. 2. Because it is educational the need is for equipped workers to study the Bible and Baptist doctrine besides a wide and accurate view of mission fields and the missionaries. 3. Because it is spiritual. The whole aim of the B. Y. P. U. is to train and develop the minds. Every line is an index finger pointing to the Bible. It aims to form the habit of daily Bible study so that we may understand the Scriptures. 4. Because it is a troublesome matter. Children give trouble to the parent, but what parent would give up the child because it is some trouble? Training is never an easy matter. It takes wisdom, patience, common sense and genuine religion, but it pays. It will be a sorry day for a church when it has no young people's problem to worry over. 5. Because it is social. Young people are so constituted as to need this and they will have it. That pastor and church are wise that direct this in the future to the good of the church. 6. Because it keeps young people from drifting. Why do young church members drift? Frequently because the church offers them nothing of activity or interest; provides nothing to counteract worldly temptations in many churches, thus there is no effort to anchor them. The B. Y. P. U. bids and offers them attractions that satisfy and hold. 7. Because young people are the only material out of which old people are made. Note the signs of the times. Today young people do not have to wait forty years to be heard from. They can bring things to pass now. 8. Because it goes down deep enough to get the real man. There is one thing better than saving a soul—saving a soul plus a life of service. We build for eternity, when we gain a child's heart and life for God. The conversion of a child means more to the kingdom of God than that of a reprobate. 9. It is practical. It works. It does what the church needs—equips members for service. So it is a rival of the church no more than the head is of the eyes. It is the church doing work of the highest type. 10. The result is efficiency. The church needs strong members to help foster the cause of Christ. A host of weak Christians who can't do anything for the Lord. The Lord's soldiers, but unable to handle a gun. The Lord's cavalry, but unable to ride a horse. The Lord's halleujah chorus, but unable to raise a tune, because we need to be trained. AN EYE-OPENER.

It is a delightfully lax, devilmay-care disease—this spring fever. It saturates you with incompetency and makes incompetency a virtue. There is a tanguid and precious joy in this frightful epidemic—something that must have been built o' dreams and cobwebs, for when its victim you see nothing but rainbows ahead while your vim and aggressiveness is stalemated by the druglike germ. But it has been a very long and very cold winter. Perhaps we of Tennessee are all entitled to a season of laziness in preparation for a somewhat vigorous and torrid procession of months to come. $N_0$ cure has yet been discovered for spring fever, and there are many who hope that this discovery will never be made. Welcome to springtime—with all its somnolent horrors! OUR UNDRAPED WOMEN It is a wonder that one-half the girls of today are not dead with the tool fashion of wearing nothing on the arms but a veil. If a man or boy went practically bare armed they would be sick with colds all the time. The Zulu maidens' full dress is a hairpin and a garter, but the climate where she lives don't produce snow banks. It must be that the present generation of girls and women are naturally tougher than a beggar boy's heart, or they could not go with azure balsy and diaphanous drapery when the mercury touches zero. Of course this is fashion and fashion's behest must be acceded to if the heavens fall GO-TO-SUNDAY-SCHOOL DAY In another column will be found an interesting letter from Mr. Thompson, calling attention to "Go-to-Sunday-School Day." We unhesitatingly endorse every word he wrote. Let the parents make energetic preparations to send their children to Sunday school on this day and go with them. When people enter a Sunday school, they are taking steps toward the threshold of heaven. A continual attendance teaches one to walk in the blessed path of peace, power and purity. No one will deny the fact that our Sunday school is worthy of more attention than it has yet received. A man or woman who all their lives made it the rule to go to Sunday school, have abiding consciousness that they are fundamentally right with God. Let every Minister, Deacon, Steward, Elder and Class Leader take this Go-to-Sunday-School Day to heart to the end that there will be a stupendous attendance at all Sunday schools on blessed Easter Morning. THE Y. M. C. A. CAMPAIGN. The Y. M. C. A. Campaign is drawing to a close. We are hopeful that the end will be gratifying. There is no doubt that Nashville needs the Negro Y. M. C. A. building. The people of other cities are awaiting the outcome of the campaign with undisguised interest. They are hoping and praying that the finish will be a brilliant one. Those of us who have stood aloot from the activities of the movement should get the Y. M. C. A. fever. The need of better conditions in Nashville cannot be too strongly stressed. Citizens of all creeds and of all races, the Globe asks you to help the Negro to help himself to be a nobler and better man. We will here and now state that we have an abiding dislike to dried apples in any form. We were regaled with this fruit at each meal when we attended Roger Williams years ago. The fact of the matter is, we loath the name, dried apple, we hate to see this dried fruit, even in our dreams. It is an abiding loathing, that we will never outgrow. We even detest the "shade of the old apple tree" even on the hottest summer day. If the present styles of women's dress have been adapted by the idea of keeping the men from observing and talking about them, they must be regarded as a dismal failure. From the fat and sassy appearance of Br'er Robin it is inferred that there has been no material increase in the cost of bugs and worms. One cannot help but wonder what would have happened if those three American vessels had been sunk by submarines when T. R. was president. At the higher price fewer onions are eaten, but, unfortunately, one onion or one cocktail makes as strong a breath as two. Apparently nothing but a strong grip on his coattails by Woodrow Wilson will keep the colonel from getting over there in a hurry. Isn't there some way in which the English sparrow could be interested in the fly as a wholesome and nutricious article of diet? Evidently we are going to ooze into war without much of a shock. We will be lucky if we can ooze out of it as easily. The monarchs in Europe who have not been photographed in their royal robes lately should attend to it right away. If we must have war, let's hop to it and have it over with as soon as possible. The suspense is worse than bloodshed. Many a man who will stand personal abuse and even personal injury considers kicking his dog an overt act. There is little excuse for anybody chewing gum, but the person who chews it aloud ought to be shot on sight. If recent flood records are not broken it will not be for lack of liberal supplies of raw material. No girl would feel complimented if you told her she was worth her weight in onions—and yet—and yet. The railway managers beat the supreme court to the taking of "dam" out of "Adamson." The acid test of the strategic retreat does not come in the starting or the marching, but in the stopping. Does the Kaiser see anything that looks like handwriting on the blackboard? A state of war may be less strenuous than a state of uncertainty. Uneasy lies the head that has just been separated from a crown. A MEHARRY MAN Dr. C. Jessie Davis, surgeon Dentist, a brilliant Alumnus, of the Meharry class "A" Dental Department, who won the gold metal of efficiency in class '16 over a large number of competitors, gave a further demonstration of his ability when he made the high average of 98.3-4 per cent before the State Dental Board of Examiners, some months ago, of the State of Illinois, and for a number of months he has practiced in the office with Dr. A. C. Johnson, at 3524 State street, here he took over Dr. Johnson's practice for him while he was away on his vacation at which time he did several hundred dollars worth of high class dental work. Each patient leaving the office in perfect satifaction and a walking advertisement of his excellent and efficient work. While in office with Dr. Johnson, Dr. Davis made a host of acquaintances and friends and now Dr. Davis is opening at 3611 State street, one of the most modernly equipped offices on the South Side of Chicago. We are confident of his success, when we take under consideration his attention to business, his tact, affability, together with his efficiency. This is an excellent demonstration of the great work done at Meharry under the great guiding hand of her venerable president, Dr. G. W. Hubbard. Here in Chicago, competition is keen and between representatives from all of the major institutions of Armenia, born here, is making a real 'raising and experience' to their credit, but that great Meharry system can't be beat, her thoroughness from a theoretical point of view is great and to say the least, the practical demonstrative work which she affords her students in Pharmacy, Dentistry and NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY MARCH 30, 1917. Medicine, surpasses any of America's leading institutions for in every department each student does repeatedly his share of the actual clinical work and at the leading universities. The students, both white and colored sit in their seats at great distances and watch the clinician and his assistants do the work, hence with this very great advantage, the Meharry men have no fear of not succeeding, even though their offices my be sandwiched by Yale and Harvard men, University of Chicago and Northwestern men, the Meharry men make good wherever they select their field.

NEWS Up to Thursday night the campaign workers for the Colored Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association of Nashville had made a remarkable showing with the odds mightily against them. For the first day, Mar. 23, the sum of $540.50 was reported by the force of workers from 38 subscribers. On the second day 65 subscribers pledged only $335, but on the third day it was easy to see that the workers and the citizens were getting a better understanding of each other, for it was on this day that 155 subscribers paid in cash and subscribed to the amount of $1,749.55, but on the two days combined. On the fourth day there was a noticeable increase in the amount of cash and subscriptions over the previous day, 1399 persons subscribed and paid in cash together $1,555.80. On Wednesday the total amount for all former days was exceeded. Division B alone, under the generalship of General Preston Taylor, reported in cash and subscriptions $4,280.50, and Division A, under the generalship of General Hawkins reported $1,121.50 which was the first ford's effort. The total for the entire effort for Wednesday was $5,402.00. It was announced at the meeting Wednesday night that the Ladies' Auxiliary, under the leadership of Mrs. Clemmie White, would organize to Mrs. Clemmie who would be headed by Mr. Marshall (MARCH 20) and Battle, and would be attached to Divisions A and B, respectively, to so Seit during the entire day Friday, as to the men, cash, or subscriptions from anybody. It was further announced that the public school authorities, through Dr. F. G. Smith, principal of Pearl High School, had granted the Campaign Committee the privilege of organizing the boys in Pearl High into teams for the purpose of assisting the campaign workers on their last day. The boys will line up Friday morning and will go forthwith, anywhere from five to 100 cards containing a cut of the new home of the Colored Y. M. C. A, and the words NASHVILLE COLORED BRANCH M. M. C. $20,000 CAM under the cut. The price of this card is 100, and certainly no one a friend to boys will refuse to make a purchase of one or more of these cards, as they will endeavor to cove the town Mar. 30, 1917. To date this has been a gloomy effort made by the citizens of Nashville with J. C. Napier as Campaign Chairman, and Preston Taylor and W. D. Hawkins as generals of the two working forces. Th's has been an effort in which white and colored worked together for the cause dear to the hearts of the lovers of good citizenship and better manhood. It has been a mighty interesting history making event, and those who have had a hand in it, whether much or little, are sure to share proportionately in the good results which will follow. Nashville will be a better city in which to live as a result of the effort which closes tonight. This effort demonstrates beyond the sheer magnitude of the work that is possible in the city of Nashville, and the citizens of Nashville rejoice to together in this fact, as well as in the hope that these efforts will soon result in a permanent home for the Young Men's Christian Association and its fourfold work for good citizenship and better Christian manhood. GALEDA CLASS MT. NEBO. The Galeda Class of Mt. Nebo Baptist Sunday School met Monday evening, March 26, at 7:30 o'clock, at the home one street. At some time, the Memorial School.

The club adjourned to meet April the 10th. DEATH OF PROF J. H. BURRUS. Nashville was shocked to learn on the death of Prof. John Houston Burus last Tuesday. He departed this life at 12:30 o'clock at the residence of his brothers. Prof. James D. Burus and Dr. P. R. Burus, at 815 Cedar street. Prof. Burus was one of Nashville's most substantial colored citizens and was well liked by his hundreds of friends. He was born in Rutherford County, Tennessee, February 22, 1849, and entered Fisk School now Fisk University in 1867, from which school he graduated in 1875. He was converted in 1868, and soon after he was in the army, he met others in the organization of the Congregational Church in this city, where his membership remained until his death. From 1877 to 1879 Prof. Burrus served as a member of the faculty of Fisk University. From 1879 to 1883 he practiced law in the courts of Tennessee. From 1883 to 1883 he served as president of Alcorn A. & M. College in Mississippi. The arduous labor of those busy years proved too great for his strength, so at the close of ten years in the educational field in Mississippi, his health having failed, he sought a country home and did the quiet life of a farmer. Prof. Burrus was indeed an ideal citizen and took a leading part in the educational, religious and lodge affairs of the state. He was honest, painstaking, industrious, gentle, kind and with strong friendships to a remarkable degree. He was a man of strong will, highly intellectual and an uncompromising advocate of justice and truth. He leaves two brothers and a host of friends. ANNOUNCEMENT. Invitations are out announcing the approaching marriage of Prof. S. B. Neal and Miss Lizzie Mary Jane Fox. The wedding of this very popular couple will be sclenmized Wednesday, April 11th. Both Mr. Neal and Miss Fox are very popular and have a host of friends and acquaintances that will wish them well on the matrimonial day. Prof. Neal the principal of one of the city schools and enjoys the respect and confidence of a large number of friends. He owns a beautiful home on Harding street, which has been handsomely renovated recently. Miss Fox is also a teacher in the city schools and is a young woman of sterling worth and pleasing personality. She is a member of the First Baptist Church. Eighth avenue North, and a Sunday school enthusiast. THE BAPISTIST COUNTRY SAFE. It is encouraging indeed to note the rapidity of the growth and permanency of the Progressive movement. The editor of the People's Defender as moderator of the Union District Association has been making a little tour of the Baptist Zion. The brotherhood is in great spirits, while the people are enthused to a degree beyond expression. They are happy and contented under the new movement in the church. God seems to be prospering them as well, for wherever it has been the editor's to go bread has been plentiful and the people in great spirits. A few nights ago he paid a visit to the Macedonia Baptist Church, pastored by the Rev. T. W. Washington, where conditions were wholesome and inviting. Sunday night, the 18th, he paid a visit to the Clear Lake Baptist Church, the field of that giant Baptist preacher, Dr. T. L. Lawson. Dr. Lawson has this entire community in hand, he is the Moses of this section. The moderator was greeted with a welcome, and with a cheer, with a reception, and with an audience that eggars description. Often has it been his to be pleasantly entertained, to be pleasantly greeted, but it was left to Dr. T. L. Lawson and the people of Clear Lake Baptist Church to cap the climax. This community is made up of a large number of landowners and a large number of young people far above the average. This is the neighborhood of Cherry Hill, Mount Sinia and England where that prince of preachers, Dr. N. Nichols, presides and where the Sunday School Convention is to hold sway in the month of May. It is the hope and wish of the moderator to visit every church and every field during this associational year, but so far as he is able to see, there is nothing in the way of a great year's work. The people have become satisfied, irregularity has been put out of business, and the majority rule is the only go, and the people are up in arms against anything that looks irregular. In some places a man would be endangering his own physical happiness were he to go there talking about 409 Gay street; he would be in his own light to go to arguing against the National Baptist Publishing House and its great work. The people are aroused as never before to the necessity of standing by their own work. The editor is happy over the outlook. The day is bright, let everybody be encouraged. OUR GET-TOGETHER MEETING. OUR GET-TOGETHER MEETING. Our Get-together Meeting to convene with the Mount Moriah Baptist Church, Scott, Ark., April 27, 28 and 29, which includes the fifth Sunday, is becoming to be the talk of the country. Everybody is on tip-toes with their faces and eyes turned toward Mount Moriah. Rev. Dr. A. L. Porter has done himself proud in that he has been able to hold that church in touch and in tact with the spirit of the age. Many places have called for this meeting, among them, Eagle Baptist Church, Walnut Grove, but Mount Moriah and her proud people hath secured the meeting for this time, and hence everybody, both little and big, are expected to be there on the above date. Let every pastor, let every deacon, let every official, let everybody be at that meeting. Let the pastors take up the thought, not lose a sermon without saying something about it, because this is our opportunity. The other people are doing their level best to put us out of commission. Let us hustle, much will depend upon the preachers, the manner and way in which they anounce it and advertise it as to whether the meeting will come up to our expectation. Every question of importance to Baptists will be discussed. Any man who wants information, let him come to that meeting. If there is any question that is cloudy as it relates to our denominational enterprises, let the people be on hand, and the information will be forthcoming. It is possible that Dr. R. H. Boyd will be at that meeting. We are not exactly prepared to say at this time, but let everybody come and hear and see for themselves and then they will not be misled by designing men.

Churches BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH. On last Sunday, being the last Sunday of the first quarter, the Sunday school was interesting as it was Review day. At 11 o'clock, the pastor preached a soul stirring sermon, from these words, "Repent ye for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand," subject, "The necessity of repentance." The subject was a special selection preparatory for our (10) ten day meeting which started Monday night March 26th. The whole congregation was highly lifted up. The A. C. E. League was entertained by Mr. Fields, student of Fisk University. At 8 p. m. the Home Department and Cradle Roll regular services were held. The babies were baptized. The Sunday school student, general review, Having the tree of life bearing twelve manners of fruit. The review was great, which would stand second to no review ever held. The lessons were beautifully represented and ex plained. Our superintendent, Mr Wm. H. Shackelford, is a wide awake man and is putting forth every effort to play his part as a superintendent. The school was favored with the presence of Dr. J. H. Hale, who spoke briefly touching on the care of babies and a large number of babies and mothers were out to hear it. The usher board was on hand to serve the congregation as the weather has opened it seems that every department has put on new zeal and fresh courage. You who missed our review, missed a great treat in intellect. At 3 o'clock Sunday evening the church members visited the Scovel Street A. M. E. Church to aid in their quarterly conference rally. We extend a special invitation to sinners, who are out of the ark of salvation, to attend a service and hear the word of God, also invite all Christians to come and help us and witness the same. Prof. E. B. Buford, Principal of the State Industrial School, colored and Prof. Allison, music teacher, with a double quartet was on hand. This quartet represented the branch school of Bethel Sunday School, organized by our pastor. The boys made a lasting impression on the audience and added an important part to the program. Prof. Buford made remarks of the work that he is doing in this school, asking the co-operation of the people. HOWARD CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. Don't fall to hear at the morning worship, Sunday, the Rev.

The porter Lodge No. 1 of the United Sons and Daughters of Abra- ham, met in their hall, 1613 Pearl St. Monday night, March 26th. There NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MARCH 30, 1917. were a good many members present, also several visitors of No. 8. The Lodge is enjoying a rapid growth during the dispensation it has added several new members to its roll, seven being initiated at their meeting. The dispensation will continue another month. The initiation fee during dispensation is only 50 cents. The Lodge will meet at the above address Monday night, April 9th. TO THE UNTRAMMELED BAPTIST OF TENNESSEE. By the grace of God we have been kept through a sever winter and found comfort amid the trying vicissitudes of the past months. Individually, down in our hearts, we are grateful, but the capacity of the human heart is not great enough to hold the endless gratitude due the beneficent being, who has given us all we now possess and from whom we expect everything we yet hope for, hence the world is the field in which gratitude may expatriate. Go home to thy friends and tell them how great things are done for you, hail had compassion on thee." We look upon the field, we behold a harvest ripe and ready to be gathered from Mt. Zion, the querry of old, seems to resound, "Who will go and whom may we send?" Remember dear brethren the Missionary Baptist State Convention will meet July 11-16, 1917. If those five day are to mean anything to the cause of Christ, they must be spent in hearing reports on the condition of the work throughout the state, (not on who is against us.) We want to know the spiritual condition. How many struggling Mission churches, we have found, that need help and encouragement, in support of an earnest and faithful gospel minister, and plan to help them. How many souls have been added to the churches, where the associational, denominational schools are located. What they need and plan to help them. We should know the need of Howe Institute at Memphis and Nelson Merry College at Jefferson City and plan to help them. Since Roger Williams does not belong to Negro Baptists of Tennessee, it would be impudent to inquire into their needs. Since propriety forbids our helping them, as an independent institution. While we have other schools and colleges, we should know the destitute fields in the different counties, where our people have not the gospel preached to them nor the children a Sunday school. At the convention we should pray and plan to reach them. While a number of the brethren, in keeping with the "pepernardess" propaganda of the country, have armed themselves with the sword and shield of incorporation, which is anticipation of war or something else, but as we go, let us take the sword of the spirit which is the word of J. L. HARDING. INTERDENOMINATIONAL MINISTERS' SALIANCE. The Alliance at its regular meeting last Friday voted to co-operate with the Y. M. C. A. workers in their Building Campalm. Next Sunday has been designated as Y. M. C. A. Sunday in the Colored Churches, when all of the pastors are earnestly requested to preach a special sermon in the interest of the Association and the Appalachian We are confident that our will constrain them to concur with the request and get actively behind this worthy civic and Christian Minister's love for the cause, and interest in our young men and boys movement. REV. COLLINS IN THE CITY Rev. J. L. Collins, who resides at Dickson, Tenn., and who is a missionary of the Piney River and Yellow Creek Association, also a missionary of the Nashville City Association, was in the city this week. Rev. Collins was here on his regular missionary tour, and had services Sunday at 11 o'clock with Rev. N. T. Stoner of the Mt. Glead Baptist Church, while on Sunday night he was with Rev. Mullins at Cedar Grove. On Monday morning he visited the Baptist Ministry's Conference where he had a chance to see the representative pastors from the churches that constitute that gathering. He stated Monday morning that he would spend two nights with Rev Mr. Ferguson at Belleview before leaving on his regular missionary trip. GO-TO-SUNDAY-SCHOOL-DAY. All Sunday schools of the colored churches of the city should join in observing state-wide Goto-Sunday School Day, April 8th, Local Chairman E. W. Thompson stated that he hoped every Sunday school in the city, both white and colored, would strive to make the day a great success in Nashville. Mr. Thompson also stated that he hoped that as far as possible pastors of the colored churches would join their white brethren in preaching sermons next Sunday on "The Sunday School." Following is Mr. Thompson's letter: Nashville, Teen., March 27, 1917. Dear Brother: Goto-Sunday-School Day, April 8, promises to be the biggest ever this year. As Superintendents, we are concerned however about more than members only. Appreciating the interest you have in this movement, and your desire also to secure the most lasting results, and the valuable help you can provide, we want to ask you to presch a sermon April 1st on "The Sunday School." If our population in the United States is over 100,000,000 and only nine million in Sunday school, including Cradle Roll and Home Department, it certainly behooves us to get busy. STUDENTS CONFERENCE The students of Walden University and Roger Williams University met in a conference at Roger Williams University, Friday, March 16th, 1917. In the morning a program was rendered, composed of representatives from both schools, after which the presidents of both schools make timely remarks. In the evening a few selections were rendered and the business of the day was transacted. The students of Walden and Roger Williams were well pleased and greatly inspired. MARIA MAYORA MRS.

J. P. Robinson Possibly this subject is rather broad and incomprehensible and it may be rather early to write on this kind of a subject, but there are so many things happening these days among all races of people that a man does not know when he strikes the nail on the head. I believe when men are leaders, they are born leaders. I don't believe that men can make leaders of themselves; but God gives them the ability to lead and therefore they grow into leadership just as any other plant or vine develops. They should not grow selfish because the divine Hand seems to have appointed them leaders over their weaker brethren and then lose feeling of heart or soul because their weaker followers do not come to their ideal, and then attempt to crush the life out of them and trample them down as an ox would an ant. This kind of action to my mind is not Divine leadership, nor is it good racial leadership but mean and diabolical in its effect and action. If there is any class of people that has suffered for the missing link of leadership it is my people for there is indeed a missing link in men who have accomplished little or much in the world yet pose as leaders and have done but little for the world's sake and cannot much for the reason that selfishness like a black cloud looms and not only hinders themselves from doing but stops others that would do. For instance I have seen men advising others how to make a living, how to go into buildings, how to buy land, how to build houses, who themselves never owned one inch of land, never built a house or made any show whatever in the uplift of the world; and yet they howl and howl for leadership. But the people are growing to a place today that they actually wan leaders of integrity; leaders themselfs who have brought something to pass. We are living in a time now when our race is disreseased with leadership. The air seems to be pregnant with the voice of leaders among us, from one end of the country to the other. Should we not be very careful and follow only those leaders whose integrity is unquestionable? The average man among us should have at least a leader of unquestioned integrity and honesty, but this kind of spirit in our race has not developed very much and we are brought out in the fact that we are ready to split an apple into to get leadership; and this condition prevails in all, from the greatest to the smallest; each one attempts to stand alone and lead a little crowd just about like themselves. I know a little crowd of ministers, about a dozen, possibly about half of WHAT IS LAX-FOS'S LAX-FOS IS AN IMPROVED CASCARA A DIGESTIVE LAXATIVE CATHARTIC AND LIVER TONIC Lax-Fos is not a Secret or Patent Medicine but is composed of the following old-fashioned roots and herbs: CASCARA BARK BLUE FLAG ROOT RHUBARB ROOT BLACK ROOT MAY APPLE ROOT SENNA LEAVES AND PEPSIN In LAX-Pos the CASCARA is improved by the addition of these digestive ingredients making it better than ordinary CASCARA, and thus the combination acts not only as a stimulating laxative and cathartic but also as a digestive and liver tonic.

While in Nashville a few weeks ago she was an interesting and entertaining visitor at the National Baptist Publishing House plant and paid her respects to the Nashville Hawkins will return to Nashville during the month of June to attend the Sunday School Congress. them pastors of churches and not a man among them pastoring a church of more than two hundred active memmers, who about a month ago had the hardhood and unmanliness and unbrotherly kindness to offer and pass a resolution baring all other ministers from their pulpits. I feel ashamed to have to write such a thing and yet it is true. This means that somebody has had little enough sense to fool themselves into leadership. And they have gathered animalism, just such non-sensible persons as themselves thus making bad matters worse. And as long as this kind of a thing is kept up, there will be a great division and upheaval in our race. I started out by asking the question as to the masses accepting and following a leadership and the more I study and think over it, the further the answer gets away from me. It should be an easy matter to answer this question, but I find it very difficult for we must remember that just a few short years passed, our entire race was leaning wholly and bent down fully in ignorance and it looked as if the impossible was upon us. And yet from that condition we emerged safely, but it may be that now we have forgotten God, and no man nor race can hope to do much nor be highly sensitive of its civil duties or racial responsibilities who in any measure forget their God and boast in their forgetfulness of such a Being, for it was God who brought us out of darkness into bein, and it is He who will divest us of our own. That he must be a gathering together of mental powers in the race; a gathering that will sacrifice themselves for the uplift of the peo ple. It is an awful shame and slam on the intelligence of the race that in every thing they get up, the little foxes go after night and eat up the tender vine. Those of us who had no conception of how to begin and build up great things are the first ones to lend our aid to help tear down the thing that some great man has built up. You take for instance the great National Baptist Publishing House, built for our denomination and which is both an honor to the race and denomination and you will find hundreds of men misled into the thought of attempting to tear down and tear up that which it has taken twenty years to build. And this brings me to the point as to whether or not we are able to take into our minds the real thought and conception of leadership. For if these so-called leaders want the Publishing House why should they struggle to tear it up, knowing at the same time by so doing they must ask the people to rebuild it for them. If they feel they can get it in a legal way, why do they not go after it in a way that is commendable to us all. I must confess the way that the incorporated brothers have gone at this matter has certainly made a dark spot in our racial and denominational skies, and yet it seems as though they gloat in the thought that they will eventually get hold of this publishing house and rule and control it at will. But what good would it do the denomination to have a few Bosses whose business would be to dictate the policy and doctrine of our church. Great care should be exercised in conducting great things since so much depends upon us as a race and denomination. At this writing the war cloud swings low, the rain of cannery and bullets are about to come pouring down like a torrent upon our grand old country. If the public press is to be credited, war between Germany and the United States is inevitable for the president has declared that if Germany committed an overt act upon the people of the United States WAR CLOUD.

C. that it would be regarded as a cause of war. This overt act has been committed, the vessels of the United States have been sent staggering to the bottom of the ocean by the awful shell of the German submarine. Germany has thus disagreed all egwky many has thus disregarded all contreaty and warning and public opinion and supposed power and force of the United States army. She rather seems to invite a clash with our country. If war comes as seem it must, there can scarcely at this time be a decent prognosis of the case. Congress has been called to meet in extraordinary session April 2nd, when it is supposed that a formal declaration of war will be made by that body, the president not being willing to assume all the responsibility. As we stated above, the prognosis is such a conflict cannot with any accuracy be determined, but it is reasonable to believe that with the United States entering into the conflict on the side of the Allies that it will only be a means of hastening the end of the conflict with the advantages on the side of the Allies, and with Germany greatly demoralized, if not completely crushed. It is hard to believe that Germany could withstand the power and resources and military ability of the entire world. It would be belittling the world to even think that Germany could be victorious over all the other powers of the world. It seems that even a thought in that direction would be giving Germany a place in the world that would be staggering to human civilization. Indeed if such a thing could be, it would be one of the most dangerous things to the world's civilization that could happen, for one power to be able to overcome all the powers of the earth would be too comprehensive in its thought and idea to even imagine. But such a thing cannot be The Allies even without the United States are bound to conquer, bound to win. They must win or die; they must win or accept the dictates and dictation of Germany; they must win or get down at the feet of Germany and this they cannot afford to do. It would be better for them to die to a man than it would to have their countries, their wives and their children, their liberty all at the mercies of Germany. But think of it, if Germany could not only conquer them but the United States also, the danger to civilization would be great indeed. While it is to be hoped that a decent adjustment can be reached without going to war, and yet the editor of the People's Defender, had much rather shoulder his gun and lose his life against a foreign country than to see this government subjugated to a foreign country or have any one foreign country master the entire world. Uncle Sam is real busy. He is building ships and submarine catchers, submarine patrols and great vessels of war as rapidly as possible, and it goes without saying that in the United States once upon a month of war and determines upon a war policy, that she will be in a dangerous and almost formidable an- SR THE INDUSTRIAL & AGRICOL FURAL DEPARTMENT Chattanooga and Mountain.

Dear Brother Editor: Henry Allen Boyd! The man has come, conquered and gone. Young Mr. Boyd, like his venerable father, may be traduced and slandered, and multitudes may be moved to condemn him; but mark you, don't ever give him a man's chance, i. e., a chance to speak for himself. The very fact that he is a brilliant man of affairs will win for him a respectful hearing. Like Mr. Washington, if he never said a word, but was fittingly introduced to his audience, his actions would speak for him. In other words, Mr. Boyd has done something, has brought things to pass. He is a director in a colored bank and president of the Y. M. C. ... in his native city; manager andreasurer of the Nashville Globe publishing Co., Sorresponding Secretary of the National Negro Press Association, assistant secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board Company and organizer and promoter of the National Sunday School Congress, And, brethren, it takes more than "pull" to put a man in and keep him in, so many prominent positions. It takes ability and business integrity, Mr. Boyd's records of accomplishments quite drown out the rehashed cries of word-juggling critics. But Mr. Boyd is more than a man of action; he is a man with captivating power as a speaker. After hearing him address a great mass meeting yesterday, moving and swaying his hearers at will, I no longer wonder how it was that the celebrated Mr. Griggs bowed in defeat before this young giant down in Mississippi last November. From the time he got up until he sat down the great audience was with him. Armed to the teeth with facts, rich in experience gained from extensive travel and contact with men, possessing by nature voice of wondrous melody and power, and having a pleasing personality, he takes rank among the best on the nation's platform today. As for Mr. Boyd's message, it is vitalizing and refreshing. He pleads for his denomination and race, asking that Negroes support and respect each other, and that Negro Baptists support and help to upbuild the institution that for all of these years has stood, the pride and glory of their denomination. For remember, Dr. E. C. Morris was one of the original incorporators of the National Baptist Publishing Board. I suppose perfectly satisfied to have the charter, specify that the Board should be self-perpetuating. At any rate, he, along with the others, seemed perfectly satisfied with the sowing. And, thank goodness, the most of us are satisfied with the crop. But back to yesterday. Accompanied by Rey. C. P. Madison and your humble servant, Rev. Mr. Boyd made a flying trip to a dozen of the Sunday Schools of the city inquiring into their methods and plans and giving a word of greeting and an invitation to the central mass meeting for the afternoon. Everywhere he was greeted with cordial welcomes and reassuring promises of support and sympathy in the great fight which had been thrust upon him as the active young representative of the Publishing Board. As for the mass meeting, people from the nation and callings were in attendance. The day was showery, but that did the eager throngs from coming out to hear Mr. Boyd. When he finished he was literally beseige with folks pressing forward to shake his hand and to get copies of NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY MARCH 30. 1917. the Union-Review. The Story of the Publishing House and the National Jubilee Melodies. The scene reminded one of the closing night of a great revival. We followed this service we were motered out the Boulevard several miles to the beautiful waterfront on Hampton Road, by Dr. D. Wbyrd, the recently-elected president of the National Medical Association. Returning Rev. Mr. Boyd was taken to the Second Calvary Baptist Church, pastored by Rev. C. P. Madison, generous harted, cool-headed and stalwart. Needless to say he was well taken care of. He preached to the delight of a crowd that packed the church almost to suffocation. This morning he left for Elizabeth City, N. C., where he is to speak tonight for that Son of Thunder in the Old North State, Dr. C. M. Cartwright, Norfork has been visited and thrilled by some mighty big men, but no one of them has left any more lasting impression upon us than Henry Allon Boyd. Yours sincerely, RICHARD H. BOWLING. GALEDA CLASS OF FIFTEENTH AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH. The Galeda class No. 2 met at Mrs. Millie Peyton on Grant Street, with Miss Mary Buckner. As usual a large number of the members were present. The president called the meeting to order at 8:30 o'clock with a song and prayer, after which the teacher took charge of the class and went into the discussion of the lesson for forty minutes, which was very interesting. The roll call, dues and quotations was the next in order, after which three new members, Mrs. Emma Elkins Misses Janie Malone and Lizzie Kitt trell joined the class. Our class is increasing each week and we will soon be at the 50 mark. After a few remarks from the president and teacher, the class adjourned to meet next Wednesday night.

This is not only true in civil matters, but it is true in spiritual matters. The spirit of cearism, of bessism hath been great in our denominal work, both in the nation and in the state.

The great war spirit that is going on throughout the nation of the orient today, and in fact, the war spirit that is being felt in the blood and bone of the inhabitants of the globe generally, is manifesting itself in no uncertain terms. This spirit of war was brought about by imposition and arrogance and self-aggrandement by the mighty making themselves mightier and the arrogating to themselves all the rights and privileges worthy of respect. This war spirit, we say, is the result of a disregard for the rights of men by other men, and as a result of this disregard of the rights of the ordinary man by what may be termed as the man of high degree; the people generally have become aroused, have waked up and said to the self-appointed czars in both church and state, you have gone the limit, you must cease, you must abdicate, you must relinquish your self-appointed power. This voice of the people which is the voice of God has been asserted in the good old land of Russia, the land of millions. The czar of all the Russians who was monarch of absolute authority has been forced from his throne by the popular verdict of the common people. For twenty old years he has ruled with an iron hand, and if reports be true he would not listen to anybody, take nobody's advice. He was lord, and his will was law, until now he is a prisoner and will possibly be executed because czarism is doomed, and the rights of the people are guaranteed to them by the great God of the universe. Only a few years ago the high-handed ruler of Turkey was put out of business.

BUNGAY 28 So, William St., New York they would they put up, whom they would they put down, and this spirit of imposing rule hath gone on in the church until today the church of God is rising up against the evil rule, the imposing practices of the men who have for a long while been at the head of things. This is what this great commotion in the Baptist church means. It means a revolt against the czarism of the president of the National Convention and his cabinet or henchmen. That is what it means in the state of Arkansas. It means an uprising of the people against the czarism of the president of the State Convention, and the president of the Arkansas Baptist College. It means a revolt against their arrogant, imposing individual rule. The people are tired, and will no longer support their regime. For thirty-five years the people have been subject to one system of family rule, and this family rule from year to year grew more arrogant, more imposing, more demagogic until it reached the place where it regarded that nobody had rights that it was bound to respect. It had grown to the place where everything else was figureheads, the trustee board was a figurehead, the executive board was a figurehead, the Sunday school board was a figurehead, and all of the boards and supposed centers of authority had to be simply figureheads, and all of the power had passed into the hands of the president of the State Convention and the president of the Arkansas Baptist College. The boards amounted to nothing, the conventions amounted to nothing, except to raise money to be doled out according to the will of these czars in the Baptist church. The people are tired of it, and this peaheval is simply the revolting people against ring and political rule, and like the czar of Russia, the czars in the Baptist cause will have to abdicate. The country will no more be at peace until these tyrannical rulers get down and out. The same is true of the nation. The nation is simply tired of Morrisism that is that has held with such iron grip the throats of the people backed up by an arrogant, self-l Only Theatre down town owned and operated by Colored People.

But the days of the czars are numbered, their time is out, and like the czar of Russia they must abdicate, and if they do not hear the rumbling of an imposed people, if they do not see the shaking of the heads of an imposed and outraged people, and like the czar of Russia willing abdicate, the people are not going to stop until they force them out: they have got to go. The editor of the People's Defender is glad to classify as one of the revolting Baptists who hopes for his name to go down in history as having helped the people to become liberated from the galling yoke of oppression, from the rule or rule policy of the czars in the Baptist church. Let not the people become discouraged, but continue the fight. It is the age of war, it is the day of setting aside of the kings and the assumption of the rule of both church and state by the people, for God intended that the people should rule the church and not a few self-appointed lords, for he said whatever happens, tell it finally to the church, the church is the sovereign, the church is the master.
