A. is pastor; is a great success. They began these meetings Seven days ago, and since then Seventy-five or more persons have made profession of faith in Christ, and already there have been sixty-one accessions to the membership of the church.
Sunday, April 22nd, was a record breaking day in the spiritual life and charismatic gift and history 16th Street Baptist Church. The vital spirit began with a sunrise psayer meeting, at which ther was a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit and turning to Christ. The Sunday School was aglow with spiritual fervor, and the harvesting of souls was record breaking. Seventeen girls and boys of the teen age were converted. The teachers and off cers assisted the pastor and Rev. Dr. W. S. Ellington of Nashville, Tenn., in bringing the scholars to Christ.
The Eleven o'clock service was one of the best attended and most enthusiastic eve witnessed the spacious auditorium, both the main floor and galleries were filled with one of the most beautiful and intelligent congregations that ever assembled. The worship ship, Dr. Ellington's subject was "The Prod gal Son." The audience listened to the discourse with rapt attention.

REV. W. S. ELLINGTON,
Nashville, Tenn.
Rev. Dr. Ellington spoke again at 3:30 P. M., the doors of the church were again thrown open for a great mass meeting for men only. Men from all sections of the city and from all walks of life rushed to listen to discussion of "The Strength and Glory of a Nat on." At the invitation of pastor Williams all the sinner men were invited to the front seats. They responded promptly and listened to our discussion with tear-stained eyes, at the stand of which several took a stand for Christ and were added to the church. The spirit of Christ at the mass meeting was very manifest. Christian men, many of whom never before been aroused to work for the souls of their fellows, came forward on their own vollition and labored strenuously for the conversion of their neighbors.
At 5 o'clock the B. Y. P. U. opened its session in the Sunday School Department of the church. Here, the younger Christians with bibles in hand, labored successfully for the conversion of their companions. The servile was a fitting climax to the day. At 7 o'clock sharp the pastor administered the ordinance of Christian Baptism. The spacious church was comfortably filled, both the main floor and galleries for the 8 o'clock services. The pastor, Rev. A. C. Williams, preached; taking for his subject, "The power of a touch." His discussion was logical and convincing. All of which was evidenced by the conversion of more than twenty persons.
Birmingham is being greatly stirred and we have no doubt that the number of conversions will increase to more than a hundred.
The 16th Street Baptist Church is one of the finest and best appointed church edifices in the South. It is a magnificent gray brick structure, located in one of the most beaditfi sections of Birmingham. It has a large and well kept park in front of it, and is only Three plocks from the site of the new million dollar post office. Like the Temple in Jerusalem, it is beautiful for situation, the joy of every heart. It is the most thoroughly, wise

socially and effectively organized churches I ever knew.
Rev. A. C. Williams is a great financier as well as a pupilte and pastor. The financial system for raising the finances of the church is wonderful in its simplicity, and great in its efficiency. The system in vogue is the paying of each member through envelope weekly of the pledges he made at the beginning of the year. Each individual member is g ven at the end of each quarter a financial amount of what he has paid and what he has failed to pay to the church. The church has relieved the pastor of the routine work of raising finances for the church, etc., by giving him a secretary who is paid a large enough salary to give his entire time to the work and plans of the church finance and the general business of the church. The church also has a Social Service department. This department employs a General Secretary and Kindergarten teacher. Through this department social uplift work is done among all the people of Birmingham. The secretary of the church has at his disposal a horse and buggy furnished by the church, and the pastor has furnished him a five passenger automobile. The church has an active membership of Twelve hundred. The average collection is about Two Hundred and fifty dollars per week.

Alumni and Under-graduates of Tennessee's Well Known Educational Institution Gather Here From Many Sections of the Country
From Thursday morning until Sunday night Roger Williams University, located on the banks of the classic Cumberland, on White's Creek Pike, was in the midst of its fifteenth anniversary celebration. Extensive arrangements had been made for a great gathering to together of the alumni and under graduates of the school to show their appreciation for what Tennessee's and the South's oldest educational institution for Negroes through its graduates had done. Many and varied were the exercises. Some of the Graduates in attendance had been away from the school twenty-five and thirty years and some had not been back on Nashville soil since they graduated. Others were represented by their children who are now in school. The president and more than half of the senior classes made every possible arrangement for the care and comfort of the visitors.
The golden jubilee and home coming celebration which began at Roger Williams University last Thursday came to a close Monday afternoon when at 2 o'clock the annual student rally was held with President A. M. Townsend in charge. Thus came to an end perhaps the most interesting event that has taken place in the history of the noted Negro institution. In celebrating the fifty years of substantial and faithful service which the institution has rendered in Christian education the hundreds of alumni from all over the country have been touched in a way that is expected to be most beneficial in the future. The alumni got together in a brief session during the celebration held and presented to their alma mata the sum of one thousand dollars in cash that they would be obligated to memorial of some kind to stand for all time as an indication of their loyalty and devotion to the institution.
The visiting alumni, faculty, student body and many interested friends continued the jubilee program with a field day and outing at Greenwood park Saturday. The entire student body of State Normal school, with President W. J. Hale and members of his faculty, also attended the event, and among the sports enjoyed was a baseball conference on the two institutions which resulted in a victory for State Normal

Patriotic speeches with an enthusiastic gathering of people, estimated at approximately three thousand attended the exhibition which was held at Haddley Park Sunday afternoon. It is said it was one of the largest and most enthusiastic gatherings that every assembled at the Park, which is located at the end of the Jefferson street car line, and which is a park purchased by the city of Nashville and given to the Negroes during the administration of ex-mayor Hilary E. Howse. Arrangements for this meeting had been made by the auspices of the Board of Trade, of which Mr. A. N. Johnson is the active president. Prominent men throughout the city had been invited to participate in the exercises. A number were invited but could not attend because they were out of the city or had previous engagements. But long before the hour set for the occasion it was certain that there would be a meeting. "The only country we know or care to know is America," was the very significant statement made at the beginning of the meeting by the presiding officer, T. Clay Moore, who spoke briefly in opening the big patriotic demonstration and mass meeting.
Listening to a number of addresses delivered by their leaders and to some excellent sitting Prof. J. W. Work, also to band music by the Fisk University brass band which rendered patriotic airs, the colored people arose and enthusias-

Resolutions are- Unanimously Adapted.
'Whereas, there has been reports and discussions about the attitude of the Negro people in the present crisis with the entrance of our country into the war upon the side of the entente allies, be it resolved, 'That we, the Negroes of Nashville, will pursue our interests thereby repudiate any suggestion that questions or reflects upon our loyalty to the stars and stripes.
2. 'That we proclaim to all our loyalty to this state and this nation and our sense of citizenship in this republic. We call attention to the fact that our loyalty has been proved in every crisis of our country.
3. 'That we are ready to give our means, our blood and our brain to fulfill our patriotic duty to our country in this struggle for democracy against autocracy, in this fight for justice and liberty.
4. 'That we appreciate the words that have been published by many newspapers in defense of our loyalty, and we urge especially the press the sound of truth to any expressing the stamp of falsehood to any expressions to the contrary.
'Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be given to the public press, that a copy be sent to the governor of the state and a copy to the President of the United States.
President A. N. Johnson of the Board of trade was the first speaker at the conclusion of a trifectal and eloquent speech he was heartily cheered.
Bishop C. H. Phillips of the C. M. E. Church was the next speaker, "As American citizens we stand ready to follow Woodrow Wilson and Old Glory wherever they may need us," the bishop declared. The Negro is not a coward nor is it the old father, and he urged that the Negroes will shoulder a gun as evidence of his patriotism or raise foodstuff for the support of those at war, as he is called on to do.
"This is my country. I am an American citizen. Not an Afro-American nor a Colored-American, but a simon pure American" was by Isaac Fisher, a recent addition to the faculty of Fisk University. He made one of the strongest speeches of the meeting and brought forti muca applause. "This is not a time to talk about grievances. We must not paralyze the arms of our government at a time like this. We owe it to those who shall come after us to help hold up the hands of the enemy in the question. We can debate our cause after the war." The speaker also stated that the press of the south owe it to the Negro to correct the impression which he said had been falsely spread throughout the south that he is not loyal to the country which gave him birth.
Negroes Firm in Support of Wilson. J. C. Napier stated that as an evidence of the Negro's loyalty to this country he was involved several times of the race before him praising and cheering every reference to Woodrow Wilson's name, and only a few months ago they assembled on the same spot and listened to an address delivered by one whom they earnestly hoped would occupy Mr. Wilson's position. "This people who then opposed Woodrow Wilson are now just as firmly in support of him and all of his policies," declared he. Prof. Thomas Caruthers, professor of Agriculture of Fisk University, and who has been named at the University of the Pines organized by the Board of Trade, plained the need of the cultivation of every available toot of ground which will yield. Because of the great war the burden of production rests upon a few. He told of the great shortage this year in the food crops and said "You have been invited out here this afternoon in behalf of the civilized world. While your contribution is but a mite it is the mite of millions. Dr. George E. Haynes, who read the resolutions, also spoke of health week which is now on among the colored people of the city. He also stressed the duty of every Negro in a crisis such as is upon the country. An interesting speaker was A. P. Pope, an old ex-soldier and former slave, who declared he was glad to see that the younger generation will stand back of the American flag for weal or for woe.

Postmaster Shannon is in receipt of a very unusual communication from Mr. Frank Simon, R. F. D. Hartville, Tenn., in which he asks that the Postmaster assist him in being named as a Recruiting officer, for he believes that beyond a reasonable doubt he could succeed in enlisting from 500 to 1000 men within 20 days, all of them to be healthy, strong, well developed young men, unhesitatingly after having real facts placed before them." To his climax, Mr. Simon states further, that after having done this he would desire to enlist as a "private" himself. The Postmaster wrote Mr. Simon highly commending his offer, stating that it had been referred to Adjt. Gen., Rogan of the National Guard, State of Tennessee, Lieut. C. Dolan of the U. S. Navy Recruiting Station, and Sergeant Chas. W Scott of the U. S. Marine Service Recruiting Station.

As the Globe goes to press the clean up week at the "Y" moves on smoothly. The State Normal school has led in both numbers and in efficient service, to the call for volunteers. A dozen well disposed young men reported Monday morning and were assigned their tasks. The goal did not idle; they did and judging from the spirit in which they went about it they found pleasure in doing it. It is hoped that others will respond before the health week closes Saturday.
The health exhibit in hite lobby on the first floor at the corner of 4th Avenue and Cedar Street is calculated to be of much benefit. The high death rate can be reduced if knowledge such as is there given out in chart and pamphlet form is put into practice. The exhibit will probably remain over Sunday. The public is cordially be present in the presence of Fisk University is behind the movement. It is a part of th elocal health week program and will no doubt count many points in Nashville's favor in the effort to get the first prize offered for the city making the best showing during clean up week.

price from $3.00 to $5.00 for funerals and since then many have discontinued the carriage altogether because even at that price their operations have been at a loss. The negro undertakers have hired their carriages to our people at $3.00 which was a losing proposition and the rapid price of oats from 35c to 56c per bushel and hay from $16.00 to dertakers of Nashville advanced the corn from $1.65 per bushel and compelled us to raise the price of carriage hire from $3.00 to $4.00 for funerals and hearshire hire from $7.00 to $5.00 in reasonable city limits.
This will scarcely cover actual operating expenses. In everything that goes to make up funerals, the prices have been greatly raised, just like shoes clothing food etc., but, because we already owned our nurses and carriages we have tried to bear the expense of the raise, hoping that we could endure until conditions would settle. But with the raise of food stuff advanced to more than double the usual price we find that we must at present advance the price of carriages and hearse service one dollar. In many instances we have paid White Undertakers $5.00 and had to accept less than that amount. This we can not do. Our services at $4.00 will be limited to our capacity and when more than our capacity is used the others will be furnished at actual cost to us. The price of hearses and carriages and in fact all that make us a funeral has for a long time been less in Nashville than in any other city in the country, and today we are giving better service for less money, than in any city in the country.
On account of the above conditions we the undersigned, agree to charge the above prices.

Big Steve believes in "Preparedness."
He said I cannot battle forever and now I am going to be prepared for a foot ball coach or trainer of base ball, if not prepared to teach Agronomy in some Agricultural college. Big Steve's father, former U. S. Lumber Inspector is proud of his son, and especially after he has put in to get a divorce. He turned his back on his son because he married and refused to help him in any way. Steve's one of the wealthiest colored boys in Southwestern Kentucky. His father has a large share in all kinds of timber in Tennessee and Kentucky and owns one whole street and has several hundred acres of land out west and was one time alderman of his home town. Many people remember Big Steve's College days and of his fighting days in old Nashville.
I am like all other fighters, I will fall for a good looking woman especially if she is the talk of the place I visit. Boys, here is a little advice when you think you are going to love or think you do love, why just travel and come in contact with all kinds of women and you will forget that girl ever existed. I am like Irving Burns, Kid McCoy and Jack Johnson they have all had trouble with their wives especially McCoy had never

when I married, I was 19 years of age and I thought that she was the sweetest girl I ever knew, but after a month fights were slow and dady refused to give me my share, then that was a hard time for me. I begin to look at money and love and I commenced to see at once that I did not love that girl at all. At fights women would take on over me and she would rave at me like a mad woman when I got a fight. I would begin to look better to me right away. Dad would write and ask me are you ready to give up your cray ways and get a divorce. Well, I would do every mean thing I knew to keep pup a fuss, to have some ground for a divorce suit, well now I think I have sufficient grounds. Just now I am standing in good shape with plenty of experience. I have travelled in Cuba, Brall, Argentina, and Colon Panama. Oh I never fell for any of the foreign ladies at all and some I met were vastly rich. When I won my battle in Cuba they were so proud to send to my Mon."

HUBBARD HOSPITAL
No single feature is of more importance to the development of a city than its facilities for caring for the attract patients even far beyond the equipped with hospitals is in a position to serve the territory tributary to it in a commercial way to a degree that is impossible where inadequate facilities exist in that line of modern advancement. Good hospitals attract patients even far beyond the territory naturally included in the radius of the municipality's activities and add enormously to the pressage of a city so fortunately equipped. From a business point of view good hospitals, and enough of them, are a splendid asset because of the number of patients they bring from other sections, the number of physicians and surgeons of superior skill attracted by their opportunities and the amount of money expended, not only for hospital treatment, but with business institutions of all kinds. From a different angle of vision than the purely material one, too are hospitals an asset. Superior hospital accommodations are something that every city owes to itself and its territory to supply because of the impossibility of smaller communities meeting the demand in adequate fashion.
The residents of Nashville should be called upon to aid a most worthy cause by giving financial assistance to the Hubbard Hospital, in order to enable the hospital authorities to avail themselves of every modern convenience. Nashville is a rich city, a growing city, already boasting 150,000 inhabitants, a number which is destined to increase to 200,000 within a few years. It should not be difficult for a place such as Nashville is to secure material aid for the hospital within a reasonable length of time, for so worthy a purpose as is Hubbard Hospital.
The city's present hospital facilities are excellent, but in order that these shall keep pace with the city's growth in population and with the growth of population of the great territory in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Kentucky, or which it is the metropolitan additional facilities are needed. One help would provide in way to secure more things needing with a minimum or expense.
As a matter of sentiment, as well as for more material reasons, Nashville people should be generous in their gifts to the Hubbard Hospital. It is one of the oldest hospitals in the city for our people and has always performed a valuable function in caring for the ailing portion of the community. A hospital is in no wise a money-making proposition. All that such an institution is expected to do is to charge a sufficient fee to pay its operating expenses. Patients who cannot afford to pay are never turned away because of their poverty. No one can put his money to a nobler use than that of helping out an institution devoted to the alleviation of suffering. Nashville people are offered a notable opportunity for doing good and at the same time advancing the interests of the city as a whole by helping Hubbard Hospital.
MAKE A PLACE FR ROOSEVELT.
A very mistaken policy would be to attempt to ignore Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt is a great man, a good soldier, an American from plume to spur and has the confidence and admiration of millions.
Theodore Roosevelt wants to go to France. Why shouldn't he go? Why should anyone object? He asks to be allowed to raise, equip and enlist a Division of infantry, cavalry, artillery, aviators and all auxiliaries, about 19,000 men.
He asks to be placed in command of this division. He is qualified for the command. He asks to go in a division unit of an army corps, which would be General Wood, Pershing, Bell, or some other, under whom he would serve.
There is a disposition to sneer at Mr. Roosevelt's army. It is hardly nice to sneer at a man ready to enlist with his four sons for active military service on the battle front. It reminds one of the pet house dogs who growl at the mastiff walking by. This much is certain, nothing would so bring France and Great Britain to their toes with enthusiasm as the American flag at the head of an American army corps on French soil with an ex-president of this country as one of the subordinate commanders. That is democracy.
It would be the visible evidence of our good faith and willingness to bear our part. No troops sent from anywhere have or will be rushed into battle. They would have a period of seasoning, of drill and hardening. Our flag should go, our soldiers should go and Mr. Roosevelt should go with them, if only to prove beyond quibble that we are not a nation of pilkers and that we are in the fight if only in its closing days.
MEXICO GRATEFUL.
Indications now are that every country on the western hemisphere, save Mexico, will be arrayed against the Teutonic allies before the war is over and there is nothing certain about what Mexico will do. The government may realize later on that her interests are the same as those of the other nations on this side of the Atlantic. Mexico ought to be grateful to this country and she ought to cast her lot with us in the great war now waging against democracy's menace.
One nice thing about being the garden variety of soldier is the fact that you don't have to salute eevry officer you meet.
If Mr. Bryan's friends who do not care to spring to arms will spring to the hoe, all may yet be well.
The American farmer will put his hand to the plow this spring and not look back.
Have you ever hated a man enough to want him to wear a saw-edged neck-band? Well, we have.
Often the man who gives the most thought to a house is the one who holds the mortgage on it.
The man of very few words may also be a man of very few deeds.
Some claim that a dry place is the best one in which to conduct a laundry and that John Barleycorn is responsible for a multitude of washer-women.
However patrolie and however thrifty we may be, we shall need coal next winter. And we ought to have some arrangement, some movement toward coal at reasonable rates.
When a man begins to say that alhe he does is to get up in the morning and go to work and go home in the evening and go to bed, he's getting old, whether he will admit it or not.
Anybody with good ears and a lively imagination can hear heavy cannonading anywhere along the Atlantic coast at any time from now on.

STATE NORMAL DEFEATS ROGER
WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY
The State Normal base ball team defeated Roger Williams University Saturday at Greenwood Park by a decisive score 11 to 2. The game was witnessed by a very large and enthusiastic crowd, including the students of the two schools and many visitors. Roger seemed very confident of winning the game, due to the face that she had defeated Walden University 11 to 2 the previous week in an uncompleted game. At no time during the game was State Normal in danger, for Williams, their star pitcher, was master of the situation throughout, allowing but five scattering hits, while the Normal boys hit Capt. Branham for 12 hits for a total of 17 bases, mostly driving him from the box in the eight inning, when six runs were scored. The game of the game were the sensual fielding and batting of the Normal team and the work of Roger outstaffed that helped to keep the score as low as it was. The State Normal team was to have played Walden University at Halley Park, Friday but the game was forfeited 9 to 0 to Normal when Walden did not appear. The Normal team left Monday on its first trip playing in Chattanooga, Tuesdays and Knoxville College Wednesday and Thursday.

VAMPIRE DOES HER FIRST ACT
OR CHARITY
pre roles during mostvomv-octEM
Dorothy Green has been playing
vampire roles during most of her
career as a moving picture actress. Natura-
ly she was selected for the vampire
part in "Patria," International's
serial of romance and patrifism,
released by, Pathe, in which Mrs. Vernon
Castle is the star. In "Patria," the 4th
outside of which will be seen at the
Star theatre for the first time in her
film rereader she does a really good dee
when she saves Patria from a watery
grave. But even in doing this kindly
act, she has an ulteror notice.
"I have been playing vampires so long," says Miss Green "that moving
picture pictures naturally associate me
in private life; I hope they under
stand that off the stage I am just an
ordinary young woman who spends all
of her space moments at home.
"Broadway and the bright lights do not appeal to me. A girl cannot dance all night and retain the roses in her cheeks. And in order to be a successful vampire, one must look young and attractive, just the same as those who play the sweet loving young women in the picture plays."

MRS. CORNELIA HENDREY STUB
BLEFIELD, IN-REGISTAL
The reelta given by Mrs. Corneia Henderson, Burlfield Monday night, April 9th at Syrue Street Baptist Church has gone down as one of the finest that has ever been given here. Nashville is seldom invoked with such a treat as was heard on this occasion. Mrs. Stubblefeid rendered the entire book under the caption of "THE LION AND THE MOUSE" and for fully an hour and a half she hold her audience spellbound while they listened to and drank in every word that felt from her lips, so distinct and clear was her delivery. The reading of divided stage only at the end of each for about ten minutes, during which interval Miss Minnie Toney rendered two beautiful piano soles.
Those who have read the book or witnessed the play know of its weight, and Mrs. Stubbfield is to be congratulated upon her rare ability of impersonating each character in the play. Mrs. Stubbfield is a born elocutionist (a Nashvilleian) but she has only followed her art she has only followed her art since residing 1 Sioux City, Iowa, where she has been for twenty years and where her name has become famous. Nashville is proud to own her as a daughter of the man he heard her Monday night impressed themselves as having been favorably impressed and entertained beyond execption. Mrs. Stubbfield is being urged to make other appearances, but it is not known yet whether she can accept the several invitations or not, as she is planning to return home in about two weeks.
BAPTIST MINISTER'S CONFERENCE
On Monday morning one of the most interesting sessions of the Baptist Ministers' Conference was held in the chapel of the National Baptist Publishing Board. In the absence of the chairman, Rev. C. H. Clark, the vice chairman, Rev. J. A. Brown, presided. Matters of interest to the Baptists of the city were taken up and discussed and a report from the local committee appointed to entertain the Congress was heard. Rev. J.-L. Harding stated that he was ready to make a report of his subcommittees. However, this report will not be made till next Monday, to enable the committee to have a conference with the superintendents, whom, it was learned, had voted to turn the entire Sunday School Con-
gress over to the Ministers' Conference in order that the superintendents may be used on the various committees.
A number of visiting ministers S. S. Cumby, and M. D. Batson, of were present in the persons of Rev. Columbia, and the Rev. Dr. Mitchell of Hartsville.
An article that appeared in the Nashville Globe from the pen of Rev. Harding last week was discussed and a committee of seven appoint-eder and make a report on the article at a call conference to be held at the Fifteenth Avenue Baptist Church Thursday night. After the usual reports the Conference adjourned.
PREPAREDNESS, THE GREAT
QUESTION OF TODAY.
This question of preparedness is so vital in its very nature until it is almost a sacred word, and if the war hath not done anything else, it has caused men to become acquainted with the terms preparedness and unpreparedness. Possibly one of the great effects of the war is to remind man of the fact that he should be also ready. The government of the United States, a great and powerful organization, the ordinary citizen would have thought that it was prepared for almost any task with its great resources, with it states and men, the ordinary mind could hardly conceive the idea that the government was not ready, for almost any emergency, but if reports are to be credited, it will take the government some two or three years to put itself in first-class condition to meet a strenuous and long engagement with another powerful and aggressive country.
It appears that the country is not only ill prepared from a standpoint of war materials, and war machinery, and war vessels and men, but that it is poorly prepared from a standpoint of supplies, so poorly prepared until here in the very beginning of the war some sections of the country are on the point of suffering. The government is urging people everywhere to prepare for a crisis in the food supply market. It is to be hoped that the Negroes wherever opportunity will permit plant will plenty of foodstuff. One of the great hindrances to the Negro in helping the government to become prepared along this line is that in so many cases he is simply a tenant, and has no say as to what he will raise, what he will plant but is solely under the dictates of the great landlords, and they invariably direct that such crops will be planted as will yield them the greatest income regardless to the suffering, or possible suffering of the community of laborers about him. One of the great lessons, therefore, that shall be gathered from this preparedness, or unpreparedness that obtains in the country, is that the people will be taught to raise a greater variety of foodstuffs, in fact, God has given the world to man that man might eat from its bosom, and not particularly amass dollars and cents. The earth will feed the race of men if the race of men will treat it rightly. But this preparedness question goes all through life. Do we not find sufficient food for thought along all the lines of life? The Negro especially should study this question of preparedness, this question of unpreparedness, for there is scarcely any great thing upon which he is eminently prepared, and thus he should get a move on himself. He is not prepared from a mental standpoint to do his own thinking, therefore should lay up a stock of mental power. He is not prepared materially to feed himself without help one week, we mean as a race, and therefore should begin to economize and lay by foodstuffs and the means to secure foodstuffs in abundance. He is ill prepared morally to face the great issues that confront a race; he is sadly wanting in his moral life, and when we say his moral life we mean his ethical nature generally. He should build himself up along that line, and, in fact, along every line he should begin to prepare himself for more and more he will be called upon to stand alone, to fight his own battles, to paddle his own canoe, and if he is not prepared there is a chance for great suffering. Does it not also make us think of our final or religious preparation? Does not every real thinking man get a lesson from this unpreparedness in the government from this hurry, scurry effort to put one's self in shape in the time of a crisis? Is it not logical, is it not reasonable, is it not the only sens but thing to do, to prepare one's self for the great crisis of death and judgment before the hour arrives. Let us study the question broadly and seriously and act accordingly.

Hi, please meet me at the National Jubilee Melodies a new song book containing all the old jubilee and invitation songs set to music, is creating the widest kind of commemoration in every section of the United States. This is attested to by hundreds of letters that have been received since the song book appeared and since it was no longer fully used throughout the session of the great National Ballet Convention which just closed its meeting. A sample of what the people say will be of interest.
"I have examined the National Jubilee Melodies and found some old treasures that I would not like to part with, a fragment of the tunes and verses that have been arrived in my brain and memory since I was a boy fory ye rs ago, but this is the first time I have ever seen them in print or to music. The little incessant music that I have heard in my life has been a beautiful but dull piece of music, and I have denied its originality. We would not have then, otherwise, as this would rob the work of its identity, and it is my desire to get a work as near as possible spoken in the peculiar manner of the old time ante-bellum men and women that laid the foundation for our race on which we are building beautifully. I think that their peculiar style should be preserved and handed down to posterity."

LONG HAIR THAT IS SOFT, SMOOTH AND GLOSSY
Qulnade, Invented by a New York Chemist,
Stimulates and Nourishes the
Roots of the Hair
Just as a good fertilizer nourishes the soil and produces a rich crop of wheat or corn, so will the proper remedy create a healthy condition of the scalp, and promote the growth of the hair. QUINADE stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, thereby causing a healthy growth.
QUINADE was invented by a New York chemist, and is made under the personal supervision of a registered pharmacist of over 25 years experience. This is a guarantee that QUINADE is as near pharmaceutically correct as can be. The ingredients are selected with great care. Entering this high class preparation unless it is of the highest purity. Seeby's QUINOAOAP, the ideal shampoo, is an excellent aid to QUINADE in keeping the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It should be used about every two weeks.
Both articles are sold by druglers and dealers at 28c each or will be sent direct by Seeby Drug Co. 79 E 130th St. New York City, on receipt written. Write for sample of QUIN ADE, mentioning the name of this paper. (Adv.)

AN APPEAL TO THE WHITE
To the White People of the South:
Inspired with a desire for the wel-
fare of the Southland, T desire as
® member of the colored race to at.
‘lvess you on a matter of grave con-
Large numbers of colored people,
vs you know, have lett the South for
the North: large numbers are. still
veaving, and still larger numbers are
nlanning to go. Among those yet to
are some of the most substantial
and dependable element of the race.
Despite the temporary material ad:
antage this brings, T-am convinced
by practical observation in both sec-
‘ons that it is not for the permani
ot large good of those who go. At
the same fime hte loss of so many
of our Iakovars can but handjeap the
“hat the time when the world is
making upon it thelargest demand
in history for raw material
If this movement is for the best
ood of neither the white man nor
black, enlightened self interest would
snggest that something be done to
check it, In my opinion, there is
“ut one remedy, and that lies in your
hands. As T have studied the ques-
fion carefully among my people, 1
find two reasons for thelr course.
‘They seek better wages and better
treatment,
Evidently, then, a reasonable in:
crease of wages in view of the high
cost of living and a more liberal polt-
ey toward the colored people in view
of the trend of the world toward larg-
er liberty would tend speedily to ar-
rest this migratory movement,
Though these things appeals to
their leaders in this hour of their
‘ante will continue to be in vain.
L believe your press and pulpit
could have powerful influence in
molding sentiment in the right direc:
tion at this time: Is not this the
hour for the best men of both races
to get together for the good of the
South. A conference of conservative
‘and candid men of both races in each
community would bring tolight spect-
fle matters whose’ correction would
rove the desired solution

JIMMIE HODGES IN "PRETTY BABY" WITH JEAN TYNES.
To play a return engagement at the Orpheum Theatre. The one or less precent of our population that pronounces drama with a broad "a" and believes that the mission of the theatre is, or should be, solely educational will probably not like the big song sensation "FRETTY BABY" with Jimmy Hodges and Jean Tynes, which
but who pays money to be entertained will say that it is a "rattling good musical comedy show" and one "good musical comedy show" when some musical comedy should not miss.

It is very pleasing to note the many public demonstrations of patriotism being pulled off by the Negro citizens of Arkansas. Many meetings of a patriotic bearing with many of the test citizens of color attending and taking part have been pulled off for the last few weeks. It is unthinkable that the other classes of American citizens would take part in the salvation of the country in the preservation of the rights of the government, and that the Negro would not join hands in that movement. The Negro is not a sulker, he has never been, he ne evwll be. In many things he may have just cause to feel aggrieved, but his love of country, his patriotism. His devotion to wife and children, and his very ealightenment raises him up to a point in the scale of civilization where all grievances readily disappear in the background and he stands shoulder to shoulder arms and march shoulder to shoulder with any other American citizen in the defense of his nation's honor. If there be differences between him and his neighbors, they are domestic differences, they are differences in the family, they are differences between men of the same feeling, of the same blood, of the same impulses, of the same passions, for every passion that possesses the white Amberican possesses the black American. There is no appetite, whether good or bad, that possesses the white man of America that does not possess the black man of America. The Negro is filled up with the spirit; America for Americans, or at least that America should not be trampled upon by any foreign power, hence it is very, very pleasing to all Negroes who can think to see the Negro people entering into the patriotic demonstration; flying from their homes the nation's colors, sailing from their automobiles the star and stripes, pinned upon their bosom emblems of their country. There can be no question of his patriotism.
The recent State Teachers' Association held in Little Rock was a very great success, and in many respects was a great eye-opener. The teachers of the state are to be congratulated upon the great showing they made. The exhibits, industrially and otherwise, were exceeding fine. Many educators demonstrated their ability to measure arms intellectually with the higher set. It was pleasing to the co-operation of the white authorities of many of the great educational societies and board which showed a warms of relation that is always to be accepted, but it was brought out that in some things Arkansas Negro education or facilities for education stands at

CHARLES EDWARD WELLS
Heres to Hon. Charles Edward Wells the quill-pusher on Theatricals for the Philadelphia Tribune. There is no need of an argument about it that Wells really gives us some real 'stage dope' each week. He knows how to write in a spicy and interesting way. His column is a world of information to members of the profession. The Tribune folks should consider themselves fortunate in having such a woman on their staff. He knows what he writes and writes it. Here's luck again to "kid" Wells. — Walt Wright
THE STAR THEATRE
It really does a person good to spend an hour or so each day at the Star Theatre. The seats are comfortable the interior clean and sanitary, the order is excellent, the ventilation splendid and the pictures are grand. There is no use of talking out the "blues" all fly the every moment you enter the Star. Manager T. Clay Moor is a wonful man and displays much taste in the selection of his photo plays for his patrons. Every day something well worth seeing is put on and the patrons are now in the habit of expecting surprises. His Path serial pictures, "Patria," features Mrs. Castle Veenon and "The Mysery of the Double Cross" are superb. They have the necessary dash enthusiasm and instruction, that also pictures enlightening and entertaining. Before you forget it, make a resolution that you will attend the Star at least two nights a week. Get in the habit of attending the Star for it. I the Movie-house that you will eventually attend.
THE BIJOU THEATRE
The Bijon is still showing high class pictures and the people turn out large each day to se the photo-plays. "Society Night," every Friday night continues to be popular and some tea picture picture is shown on that night. The Bijon Management presents to their patrons only the best. They try hard to please which means their success.
THE ALPINE THEATRE
Out on Jefferson Street, there is a little movie-house called "The Alpine" which has for a long time and continues to be extremely popular with their many patrons, Mr. C. C. Boser the enterprising Manager sees to it that only high-clas and instructive pictures are shown in his house. He creates a two oracle impression for the movies in general. Get in the habit of attending the Alpine. It is a good place to spend an hour each night.

ARKANSAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST.
NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY APRIL 27, 1917
Jimmy Hodges and Jean Tynes have evidently pointed their arrows at the satisfaction of the majority, judging from the excellent notices that the critics have been tendering them throughout all the larger cities. The show is speedy, sophisticated, and what is more, it is clean and refined. If the two and one half hours its progress does not change the attitude of the most ingrained grouch, there is no hope for the wear or thereof.
The engagement is for six nights and five matines, commencing Monday, Night, May 7th. The sale of reserved seats will open, Monday, April 30th, there will be increase in prices. Half of the bateony will be reserved for colored people.
ing the cotton, he is raising the corn, he is ditching the land, he is conversing the forest and whatever groes to make this a geral southland, whatever goes to make Arkansas a great state the Negro is contributing as largely as any other class of citizens of whatever nality or color. He is contributing as much to the progress and civilization of Arkansas as the banker and as the scientist, and any other professional class, and therefore should have just treatment from the state because of his worth to the state.
THE DOCTRINES OF THE CHRUCH AS TO CHRIST WINNING.
When Daniel, many centuries ago in his prophetic vision, guided by the unerring finger of God, said that kingdom of God would break down every other kingdom, and that it should not be left to other men to destroy, that it should be as vast as the universe itself, that it should shield and hold and protect the universe of men, that it should become the greatest kingdom of all the kingdoms, indeed that it should swallow up, stamp out and consume all other kingdoms, it appeared like a myth.
When Jesus Christ came to the world and sustant ated the very statements by saying that he would build his church, and that the gates of bell should not prevail against it, and that the kingdoms of the world should become the kingdom of God, the world laughed, but ever since that day the tendencies of all events have been in that direction. And even now the day was never brighter for the fulfillment of these statements than it is today, notwithstanding the church has had many up heavals, has had many things to come against it, but it was never firmer in the principles of Jesus Chrits than now.
Irregularity, bossism, selfishness are all giving away, and must give away for the operation of the splendid principles of the doctrines of Christ. In the state of Arkansas, these very passages of Scripture have given sinew and nerva to the friends of the kingdom of God, for they have believed that however strong the opposition to church regularity, the opposition to the principles of the doctrine of Jesus Christ that they would ultimately fail, and such is the case. In Arkansas men are clamoring for the old path, they are hungering and thirsting after righteousness. They will be content with nothing less than the real truth of Jesus Christ. Irregularity is having a mighty hard time in the state of Arkansas. The principles of Jesus Christ are plainly upheld by the Progressive movement, and, indeed, that is why the Progressive movement was formed, was to see to it that self-appointed agents should not sap from the church its real life, and that the children of the future should have beaten to them a pure, unadulterated church as handed down by Jesus Christ and the apostles. Yes, the kingdom of God is going to break down every other kingdom. Morrism, Bookerism, Sutton Griggism, Parrishism, and, in fact, all of the little petty kingdoms of selfishness and Usurpation must be run down, must be stamped to pieces, must be broken asunder. It is to be noted that some of these kingdoms assume very great proportions, and at times look formidable. It appeared at one time in the olden days that the kingdoms of irregularity, that the kingdoms of the papal powers, that the kingdoms of monarchial rule would withstand and put to flight all the agencies of God but, nay, God had said that the kingdoms of the earth should be broken down, and so in our great Baptist Zion it has appeared at one time no power on earth could break down Morrism, that no kingdom on earth could do anything with the kingdom of Morrism and Bookerism in Arkansas, but God's word must prevail, and the kingdoms of earth, however powerful and strong must surrender to the kingdom of God, to the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Let the Baptists throughout the state of Arkansas, throughout the United States take courage, and only feel themselves about being on the right side, for once we are right once in harmony with the kingdom of God, once in harmony with the great powers on which the kingdom of God is planted, then victory is certain, even though we may not see how it is to come. This message to the brotherhood of Arkansas comes to cheer them. Never mind about the stronghold of the men who are irregular, who are fighting for the maintenance of the kingdom of irregularity, just remember that the kingdom shall be broken down, and the kingdom of God shall be established.
WHY ALL AMERICA SHOULD FIGHT.
Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D.
I use this subject as a broad term to bring in all of the native-born citizens of the United States of America and even those who have been naturalized. President Wilson of the United States is no doubt one of the most American continent. He foresaw all of this trouble that thousands of our citizens could not see. Many of us thought him rather tardy because he seemed to not have the war spirit; but now it has all come visibly before us. All intelligent men, regard-

less of politics or race, can see that his war policy was right. The hop god of America seemed to think that he should have plunged this country into war; but he knew better and held on to neutrality until he was actually shoved onto the battlefield. Notwithstanding all of this, it can be seen that he is a man of powerful mental activity. Therefore all men whose citizenship is in the home of the free and land of the brave should stand shoulder to shoulder with his policy. While millions of men will possibly be ejerciled on the battlefield with weapons and armaments, they should let us remember that it will take many millions more at home to fight the wolf of hunger from our doors; yes, more than will be necessary to fight on the battle-field against a foreign foe. As a race of people we are to do our part possibly in the latter work.
In the war between the states, the Negroes led the army with their own strong arms and sweat; but now all men are free and equal and it is to the interest of all to lead the word; and now while the people have an opportunity to prepare for the hanging up of their corneries and empty houses and other home necessities, let us do so with magic and main. It will be very much easier to put bread in your own cries where you and the children can get it when the clouds of war are hanging heavily over you than it would be for you to wait for some ship from some unknown hands to bring bread to our shores. And then should it come you would be possibly a thouche that lies in the interior where it would never take you. Hence the wolf of hunger, if it fails to vide for yourselves, will stall the land day and night until he shall have brought vengeance upon the inhabitants of the land for their neglect and stupidity. The people who fight the wolf of hunger in this way will render as great a service for their country as those who go to the front and bring victory to our government. Those who are left at home to fight this monster will be crowned with glory and success. No people are better prepared to fight hunger than are the colored people. After all, I thing the Negro is God’s nobleman. He is physically prepared, and with a few months’ training will bring victory to our native land. The sun never gets so hot that he cannot bring bread from the earth, and the winds never blow too cold but that he cannot lie down on his arms and watch the movements of his enemies in the battle-field. He is in evidence in every great movement in this country and in all he has shown commendable interest. One thing we can thank God for and that is that in thinking the earth no longer minima does a place, but that the enemies of whatever go down in the bosom of the earth and till the soil shall be fed. So that you need complain about on the field of battle. While I am writing this article, I am reminded that there are two battles to be fought. The battle for food is the one; the battle of carriage and blood is the other. Hence it is necessary that all should join hands as one man in order that we may be victorious in both battles. As long as the war, hasts and for a long time thereafter, it is my impression that it will be very necessary to keep up the fight of feeding and clothing ourselves; hence we are to understand that we are to be the architects of our own happiness or woes. In this time of mental abortion of warfare those of us who must be left at home will be more in need and we must remember that our tasks will be more than double because we are to be the bread-winners not only for those who are fighting and children, but for those who are fighting and marching to the drumbeat of war. Therefore there will be a task for every man to perform. It is also to be remembered during this great crisis that there will be no time for idlers nor for loiterers but now is the time for every man to

do willingly and cheerfully whatever task is assigned to his hands to do in upholding the greatest government that today exists among the children of men. And there is no better way to uphold the arms of the government than to cause the earth to blossom and bloom like a rose and give food to the hungry and clothes to the naked and in this sentiment every citizen should agree end work to the end that it should be done. God being our helper, let us see that it is done. This is the burden of my subject that I am trying to impress upon you and that which is so necessary to make our armies victorious. Without food, deat must come. This we cannot afford.
WAR CONDITION SHOULD NOT HINDER THE WORK OF THE MASTER'S KINGDOM.
By R. B. Porter
It is true that at last this our great country has become an ally with one of the greatest wars that has paged itself in the history of mankind. So great is it until all nations of the earth in one way or the other are feeling its effect. The cost of living has made a record to which there is no parallel, with no visible indications that relief is near. The law-making bodies of our great government have appropriated $7,000,000,000 for the continuance of this great conflict as it seems until a world's democracy has been set up. All of this, in a way, touches and affects all citizens, whether saints or sinners, of this government. Granting that all of this is necessary for our country, to maintain its discipline and honor, and whatever else, we must be a Christian man and representative of the life and works of Jesus Christ, the Great Head of the church takes this view, that the work of our Master should not be slighted or forsaken because of such conditions exist. The fact that war conditions are upon us in such a way until we are made to stand and what will be the next碰击 does not argue as will be the cross. The cross should allow the interest among us as Christians to dwindle. The souls of men are still wandering from the God we love and爱, our sons and daughters, many of whom are still growing in ignorance and sill. Our girls are just as binding upon us in nowadays as they were before the war began. We must continue the work of the Master in every condition of life. To this end we are asking the Progressive Baptists throughout the world and state to battle for the Lord. Our first state meeting was held last week at Roland (the Musical Convention of which the Rev. N. Nichols is president). The next great meeting will be the Get-together Meeting of this week. The next meeting will be the Sunday School State Convention and the Woman's State Association. We would be very much delighted to know that the interest throughout the districts and state is growing in the interest of our spring and summer campaign.
Let us give Dr. Long our president of the State Sunday School Conven-
tion, our unlimited moral and financial support. To the women throughout the districts and state, we would ask that you would heed the call of Sister Mattie Gaines, your president. Rally around her, make the meeting what it should be, bring up a large representation both as to delegates and finance. Le us all help each other to do the work then we assigned us. The institution is broad. Whoseover will this him come to the meetings stated above. Adjust yourselves to right and righteousness, we maintained once more with free dem and regularity. Be God's free people, yet humble servants, and in all of the getting, get the understanding, when and where the National Sunday School Congress will convene and make ready to go.
Yours for the cause of humanity and his kingdom.
IT IS BETTER.
Keep a smile on your lips; it is better
To joyfully, hopefully try
For the end you would gain than ta
fetter
Your life with a moan or a sigh.
There are clouds in the firmament
after
The beauty of heaven to mar,
Yet night so profound there is never
But somewhere is shining a star.
Keep a song in your heart; it will
lighten
The duty you hold in your hand.
His music will graciously brighten
The work your high purpose has
planned.
Your notes to the lives that are sad-
dened
May make them to horizontally yearn,
And earth shall be wondrously glad-
dened
By songs they shall sing in return.
Keep a task in your hands; you must
labor.
By toll is true happiness won;
For foe and for friend and for
neighbor.
Rejoice, there is much to be done.
Endeaver, by crowning life's duty
With joy-giving song and with
smile.
To make the world fuller of beauty
Because you are in it awhile.
