The Sunday School Congress Meets in Nashville, June 13 to 18, 1917. NASHVILLE GLOBE. FLYING SQUARDRON IN BIG CAMPAIGN. Six Teams of Workers Told S. S. Forces about Child Evangelism. VOLUME XII. Ninety-five visits to Sunday schools was the total number reported by the flying squadron in their campaign last Sunday morning. The plan for visiting these schools had been worked up under the auspices of the Sunday School Union, of which Rev. J. T. Tunstall, Jr., is president and G. Phinaker Baker is secretary. From the time it was proposed to the superintendents up until it was really exerted, enthusiasm reigned supreme. The program provided that the workers should stand in front of the Y. M. C. A. Building, corner Cedar Lane, Avenue N, to get their final instructions. By nine-thirty o'clock six automobiles, donated by friends, were ready for service. Each car was elaborately decorated with American flag, Sunday School Congress, Metoka and Galeda pennants. Each committee of the squadron wore arm bands with a Sunday school Congress pennant pinned on their backs. At nine thirty Rev. J. T. Tunstall, the president of the Union, invited the entire committee of workers into the parlor of the Y. M. C. A., and after a few remarks in which he said all things were ready and before going upon this important mission, he called upon Rev. J. L. Harding, the president of the Tennessee Baptist State Convention, to offer prayer. Dr. Harding invoked nine blessings upon the workers and that he made an eloquent appeal that they would put forth their best into the work. He declared the Baptists of the state were in sympathy with such movements and they had already gone squarely upon record as favoring better Sunday schools. He assured them his full co-operation and support and he spoke for the Convention. "Nashville has never known so much enthusiasm and interest in the Sunday School work. You have them here from seventeen years of age to seventy-three. I think," declared Dr. Harding," that Dr. R. H. Boyd, who is a member of one of your teams and belongs to your squadron, is the oldest active Sunday school worker in the state and it thrills any one to see him up with boys of seventeen to show him of the modern Sunday school. With a few other preliminary instructions were off, each going in their various formation. The workers had been instructed in the art of going into a Sunday school. Each team had the names and location of each of the schools irrespective of denominations, they were to take them in. The Sunday School Congress secretary was asked to carry them through a brief line of instructions as he had perhaps participated in more campaigns than any other person here and he told them that upon reaching a Sunday school they were to march right in, shake hands with the pastor first, if he was present, then the superintendent, after which they were to address themselves to the school and tell them in as few and eloquent words as possible the object of their call, appealing, first, for child evangelism, second, for front line Sunday school building, third, for closer cooperation in the Sunday school and last, but not least, extend a cordial assistance to assist in the entertainment of the Sunday school that would be here June 13-18th, made up the Sunday School Congress. It is understood that these instructions were carried out and that not a Sunday school known to the members of the squadron was overlooked.

Thompson (Continued on page 8.) SUSPENSION IN ORDER SUSPENSION IN ORDER DR. JONES READY TO "GIVE UP GHOST." "Spit on Our Hands" And Get Another Holt. By Ira T. Brvant. I read in the Christian Recorder the other day that Rev. J. A. Jones, D. D., means to resign the presidency of Turner Normal School at the approaching Commencement in May. I hope to be present, and if I am, I intend to make the motion that we suspend operation at Shelbyville, for at least two years. Only an urgent request from Bishop Lee, himself, not to make such a motion, shall interrupt my plan. I shall make such a motion because I feel it my duty to do so, and when I get" that feeling I care very little about what anybody thinks. Of course the men have the right to vote me down. I believe this educational assessment in Tennessee is a curse to the Church, doing in finely more harm than good. I believe that if Jones "didn't," no other available man in Tennessee can, and that to continue the experiment under present conditions, is the worst brand of stupidity. I believe that if the ministers of Tennessee do not rise up and talk frankly to Bishop Lee, say publicly what they say privately, that the laymen themselves will take matters in hand and put an end to the nonsense. Indeed, I believe that of several large churches that have already served notice on their pastors that no more debts will be made against their churches for education. I do not wish to air our weaknesses through the paper, and will not unless I am forced to do so. I want to anticipate the fellow who will say that I am against the book. Yes brother, I am against it. Always have been and always will be, because it a shameful waste of the people's THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S PROGRESSIVE CLUB. The Young People's Progressive Club of the First Baptist Church, East Nashville, met at the residence of Mrs. Minnie Harwell, Webster St. Tuesday night May 8 1917. The meeting was opened with songs and chants, each member responded with dues and quotations. After all unfinished business had been transacted, an ice course was served. The Club adjourned to meet May 22, with Miss Sadie Lyson, 8th Street. MOTHER'S DAY.

The many friends of Dr. and Mrs. E. W. Parrish will be pleased to know that Mrs. Parrish is in the city visiting her mother and aunt at the family residence on Scovel Street. Mrs. Parrish has with her the little daughter of the family. As Miss Hattie Ferguson, Mrs. Parrish was a charming member of the young set and it was with regret that her many friends and acquaintances saw her depart to make her home in a distant city. Dr. Parrish at the time of her marriage was a prominent young dentist with offices on Cedar St. Since the time he has practiced his profession. For the past year Mrs. Parrish has held the position as teacher of Domestic Science in one of the thriving High Schools of Arkansas. This position was filled so very acceptably that she has been offered the position for another year. While in the city Mrs. Parrish will be greeted and entertained by the many friends who have known her since childhood. Miss Adelaide McVoy of New York spent a few days in the city as the commencement guest of Dr. E. F. Aarons, Jr. Miss McVoy expresses herself as being highly impressed with the "Athens of the South," especially with Meharry. She left Tuesday for New York. REV. HAYNES AGAINST NEGRO BAPTISTS OF TENNESSEE SAYS REVEREND JOHN LUSTER HARDING. In my article of April 20th, in which I exposed the fallacious transfer and jugglement of the Trustee Board of Roger Williams University, I held then, and now hold that the Negro Baptists of Tennessee were hungugged, when their interest did not and does not appear in the original "deal," when we had raised $5,000,000 to be paid on the property for one-half interest therein. I hold that we were humbugged, by the conveyance of our property rights and equity, to the Trustee Board of Roger Williams by the American Baptist Home Mission Society. Roger Williams as a corporation, had never owned property, and did not and does not need to own and control ours, in order to exist, but the Negroes believe that the University belongs to them. I hold that by the restraining provisions. The American Baptist Home Mission Society is "The power behind the Throne," and by the provisions of repossession, they convey practically, nothing to Roger Williams. Then we are humbled again by the trustees of Roger Williams, who convey to the Missionary and Educational Convention, "Incorporated," their nonenify, and for fear they might be conveying something, they put two paragraphs in the document to protect the non-ponderous conveyance of the Home Mission Society, and went one better to "confiscation," saying to the Baptists "incorporated that we should convey as long as they allow Roger, William other corporation, to use the buildings and the grounds free of charge. Will some linguist, or knight of legal Jurisprudence tell me what kind of ownership can the Baptists claim by such a conveyance? To all of the above citations, Rev. Haynes, nor the trustees have as yet replied, but my good brother Haynes, comes out with a new and powerful ally in the person of Mr. J. O. Kirkpatrick, who joins Brother Haynes, in defending his against this wilful attack, said "Dearest Brother Haynes that he was placed on the sacrificial after, when he was appointed financial agent to collect $5,000,000, out of which he was entitled to, from 10 to 20 per cent commission, besides a nice commission for making the sale for Mr. J. O. Kirkpatrick and Son. Did he get anything he can speak for himself." You will T NEGRO ARTISTS OF TENNESSEE IN LUSTER HARDING. realed—Roger Williams w Ally please notice dear reader, that I only said that Brother Haynes was entitled to a commission. Rev Haynes sends me a warning by my friends "To remember that the late Harry Stokes lost his life by digging up too much on these Big White Folks, and that one of them is mad now, and that I ought to stop this." I have no desire to punish any one, nor to oust the trustees, nor to send any one to prison. Then why should I stop? I have lived here for thirty-five years, and have never intentionally nor knowingly harmed any one. Then why should I fear to speak the truth about matters which efface the race and funnel welfaes of my race and church, regardless as to who may be offended? I shall write and contend in this matter until I am called to go hence from this world, or until the American Baptist Home Mission Society of New York, make a conveyance that will protect the interest of the Negro Baptists of Tennessee. Now I am surprised at Mr. J. O. Kirkpatrick answering for Brother Haynes, when I would have believed Brother Haynes about the commission, if he had said over his signature that he received none of the sale. I said he was entitled to a nice commission for making a $10,000.00 sale, and I say so now, which neither Brother Haynes, nor Mr. Kirkpatrick deny in their defense. Mr. Kirkpatrick is one of the most successful business men in the south. Rev. J. W. Kirkpatrick himself in deals amounting to thousands of dollars with him. I cannot conceive of such relation, never prompting Brother Haynes to ask for any commission on any of these deals, nor Mr. Kirkpatrick offering not one cent. The only logical conclusion is, if he ever did receive a commission for making a sale for him, the $10,000.00 cash sale to the American Home Mission Society being the biggest and best, he was entitled to some kind of nice commission in dollars and cents, or credits or something. Men think very little of a co-partnership where one of the parties gets all of the profits. I compliment Brother Haynes upon the unlimited emoluments from Mr. Kirkpatrick, who says "Endorsement on any transaction is worth 100 cents to the dollar with me," that could be commission Brother Haynes. Another revelation. When the property was sold to the Society, Mr. J. O. Kirkpatrick and Son held a building and mechanic's lien interest against it to amount of $5,000.00 or more. I feel a little shaky when a read what he says, "Further there is dying to us a balance of about $1,500.00 for building material which we have been carrying on our books for the past two years, mainly through your influence." If the property was sold at first to satisfy Mr. Kirkpatrick's claim, the above says, were it not for Brother Haynes' influence with us we would have a collection of this money. I am glad Brother Haynes has that influence, and I wish the University had as much will as possible be some commission to Well Brother Haynes. I said nothing about lumber in my whole article, but to appease your poor conscience which seems to be worrying you about something I knew nothing of, I will add, if you negotiated the deal for the lumber for your friend and our friend, Mr. J. O. Kirkpatrick, you were entitled to some more commission, (Emoluments). There is no dishonesty in getting a just commission, but— All right gentleman I am waiting to hear from the American Baptist Home Mission Society of New York about the commission they were entitled to pay Brother Haynes and a few others I will speak to Prof. Samuel A. Owen President of Florida Memorial College on this issue next week. A New firm of Funeral Directors will soon open business here at 416 Fifth Avenue, N. This piece of property has already been purchased by the firm, known as Lee and Co. with Mr. W. H. Oden of this city as General Manager. Mr. Oden is an old resident of this city and stands high in the estimation of his many friends who have known him so long. Let us all wish him much success at the head of this new firm. The other three members of the firm are Messrs. G. W. Lee, W. L. Easley and C. H. McGuire. All of these men are from Indiana with business tact and ability. We congratulate this new firm as to their selection of a location. The thoroughfare is one of the best in the city. The lot is 40x170 feet. The building is a brick structure of two stories with front and back porches. Location only 1-1-2 blocks from the new Y. M. C. A. 1-2 block from the Pythian Temple, 2 blocks from the transfer station and 2 blocks from the St. Paul Capital. The office, church and show rooms are on the first floor, the morgue and motor equipment in the basement. We welcome this new firm to our city and have every reason to believe that they will be successful. ```markdown ``` HAD SMOTHERING SPELLS AT NIGHT Suffered With Asthma for Five Years and Was in Bad Shape LUNG-VITA GAVE RELIEF Did the Work After All Else Had Failed "I had suffered with asthma for five years and could not sleep at night," said Mrs. Frank Warner, who lives at 201 South Fifth street, in her statement today. "I had smothering spells and was in fact in bed shape. After everything else had failed I asked my doctor if there was no remedy that would give me relief, and he said that if anything would help that Lung-Vita would. I tried it two years ago, and to my surprise it did the work, where all the rest had failed. I think it a great medicine." Lung-Vita is perfectly harmless and will quickly relieve a cold or cough. Keep a bottle at home. Lung-Vita is gold by drugg sts and dealers. Adv. YOU ARE INVITED TO THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS. NASHVILLE, TENN. JUNE 13-18 1917.

His sermon on the Prodical Son, The Sinking of the Titanic, No Bums and Leafers Wanted in God's Vineyard that Hell Born Black Stumbling Block The Valley of Dry Bones are well worth hearing anywhere. This list does by no means exhaust his great pro program. He organized the church to carry out his plan in the meeting, Misses Flora and Cora Txler and Olivia Nicholson were the Scripture readers Miss Mina Morrell was Secretary, Alona Robinson and T. A.

Memphis, Tenn CONSISTENCY If the editor of the People's Defender had passed a resolution that he would not allow another minister to visit his pulpit, he would not under any circumstances visit that minister's pulpit. Regular Moderator Caver was the prime mover and abboter and lord dictator supported by the old chieftian, Wnowles, and a few other chienchens, passed a resolution that none of the Progressives should be allowed in the pulpits of what they termed the regulars, and that if any of the regulars should enter into the pulpits of the Progressives they should be dealt with. This iron-chad resolution that grew out of intense selfishness, meanness and ignorance has shown up the real character of these men. For a man to make a resolution and then flagrantly vitale it, demonstrates that he is nothing more nor less than a hypocrite. A few Sundays ago, Moderator Caver entered the church and pulpit of the editor of the People's Defender. Now the editor of the People's Defender had no objections whatever so far as the personel of the man was concerned, but he does regard him one complete bundle of hypocrisy in that he would sustain and abet and preach publicly a resolution of non-association, and then ease himself, and that too without invitation into the editor's pulpit. It demonstrates the insincerity of said contingent of Baptists in the state of Arkansas. The man who will set up a standard, and then maliciously and wilfully and knowingly violate that standard, is nothing more nor less than a consummate hypocrite, does not deserve the respect of first class men. Men should take a stand, but they should take a stand upon principle, and when once a stand is taken upon principle, and for principle's sake, they should unalterably upon that stand. If the Editor of the People's Defender were to pass such a resolution in his church he would not enter the pulpit of the man against whom he had legislated even if everybody in town died; as the Little Moderator might plead justification because of a funeral occasion, but funerals and death do not alter principle. If it were right for him to pass a resolution of that kind, then it was right whether men lived or whether men died, and even death itself does not call upon men to violate the principles of right and righteousness. This vein of hypocrisy so prominent and persistent finds itself in all of those old leaders. They either are not capable of taking a stand, or they do not know what setting up a standard of righteousness and what staying by it signifies. We have before us a letter written by the hand of the president of the State Convention, and the National Baptist Incorporated Convention which declared that the State Convention at Hot Springs last year, that no man or woman could be related to the Arkansas Baptist College as employee in any way unless they belonged to a church that belonged to the old line convention, that they would be forced to quit the church unless that church was a member of the old line convention, or they would be summarily dismissed from the faculty of the institution. The good doctor and high stepping president of the National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, has proven that he, too, has a large vein of hypocrisy, running through him, or he knowingly, willingly or maliciously falsified, for he has not attempted as chairman of the Board of Trustees nor as the muck-a-much of the old line convention to carry out any such orders he has simply after eliminating the editor of the People's Defender from the Trustee Board, and that having been done he was willing to tow in the slimes of self-contradiction and suck down the unholy emissions of self-purgations. All of the members of the faculty including the president still belong to other churches which demonstrates hypocrisy in the highest sense. The president of the institution declared that no person could work as a member of the faculty who did not take his membership out of a Progressive Church, and put it in a non-progressive, or better perhaps in the old line. He has proven beyond a doubt that these were simply the expressions of hypocrisy, for he, too, after such blatant and unholy expressions sits right down with his own membership and that of his family in another church. It is not that we object to their NATIONAL JUBILEE MELODIES SEVENTH EDITION. PUBLISHED BY NASHVILLE, TENN. membership being in other churches, we are delighted to have their membership, but it is the bunch of hypocrisy, the utterances of wickedness, the downright stupidity that we condemn. The editor of the People's Defender regards that men who will set up a standard, and so preach that standard to the public as long as that standard assists them in carrying out some diabolical scheme, and then as soon as that diabolical scheme false to the ground, they ease away from that standard, the editor, we say, declares without reservation that such men form one compound of hypocrisy, meanness, falsification, unworthiness, ungodliness and all of the ingredients essential to a compound, necessary for the darkest regions of eternal night. Why not be consistent? If resolutions are right to pass, they are right to stand up to. If they are not right to pass, then don't pass them. Of all the people in the world that Jesus Christ detested, abhorred was the hypocrite that would lay burdens uopn people, but would not touch one of them with their little fingers. Come again brethren, our pulpits are open. We do not say what we have said because we object to you coming to our pulpits, but we say it because we do not intend for you to do a lot of big nonsensical mean talk, public lashing of the editor and other Progressives, and then come sliding into their pulpits like sheep-killing canines. If the Progressives are wrong stand out and fight like men, if they are right and deserve your cooperation and pulpit affiliation, then rescind your resolution. Let the people know that you were wrong, that you wer ignorant, that you were silly in passing such a resolution, then enter the pulpits of your Progressive brethren with a clear conscience, like men of reciprocity, otherwise you are one big bunch of hypocrisy unworthy of either heaven or ? ? ? ? THE GET-TOGETHER-MEETING. The Get-Together-Meeting held with the Mount Moriah Church, Scott, Ark., Rev. A. L. Porter, D. D., pastor, was one of the greatest meetings ever held in the district or state of Arkansas, largely attended, full of spirit, and demonstrated the liberality and charitableness of our people in that community. Rev. A. L. Porter clothed himself with glory and honor, and demonstrated that he was a young man of NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MAY 11, 1917. more than ordinary ability, living in the hot-bed of Stoutism, he overcame all of the pressure of irregularity, and entertained the meeting in a very princely way. Too much cannot be said for the pastor and officers and members of that stalwart Baptist Church. The meeting in every way measured up to expectation of those who planned it, and was a jaw-bone breaker to the snews of irregularity in that community. Wherever people have the light and can get the light, they will do right. The discussions and sermons and lectures and papers were all far above the average and demonstrated that those who were on program had both inherent and acquired ability, and that they had given considerable thought and preparation to their subjects. The subject "What we stand for," discussed by Dr. J. P. Robinson, president of the Baptist Progressive State Convention was a masterpiece, demonstrated that the old lion had lost none of his former vigor. This as well as the address, "Why we are delivered by Dr. R. B. Porter, Vice President of the Baptist State Convention, formed the principles of your state organization. It would have done you good to have heard the young lion roar. He is a whelp worthy of his Master Sire. The address delivered by him demonstrated that he has a master mind, an eloquent delivery and a powerful grasp of the needs of the present day church. These two brilliant addresses were responded to in a most apt and pleasant way by Madams Sarah J. Porter and Mattie C. Gaines, respectively. The sermon of Dr. Steele gave vigor and power to the entire community. Davis and Freeman filled their places with manly bearings, but it seems to have been left for Drs. A. H. Gentry and W. M. Bailey to carry away the flag of honor, for these two men like angelic spirits at once sent from God, preached with such power and eloquence until many sail, "we have never heard it on this fashion before." Dr. J. S. Steele on the subject, "The Real Trouble with the Negro," demonstrated that he was the angel of the Church, that he had given deep study and much thought to the affairs of his race. He delineated those troubles and conditions in a masterful way. The editor of the People's Defender has only words of commendation to heap upon such men as Dr. T. L. Lawson who so ably presided, and whose presence gave such vigor and strength to the entire meeting. Drs. Nichols and Brown came in for a large share of glory, as well as did Drs. Fentress and Riller. The meeting proved the unity of the people of the Union District Association, and demonstrated that the The National Jubliee Melodies The only complete and real production of jubilee songs and music now offered on the market. The publication is in its fourth edition. The demand has been enormous. Many of these songs are priceless in value. Every member of the race ought to have one of these in their home.

Mayor Thompson of Chicago, doubtless is a mighty, mighty big man, but he does not seem to be sufficiently large but what Uncle Sam will strap him if he happens to get too big for his breeches, because Uncle Sam seems to be taking down across his lap at this time to give him a little brief chastisement for what he considers discourtesy to his foreign guest. However big you may get, Uncle Sam's the biggest, and should be. The voice of the government should be heard by every citizen, and if every citizen does not hear the voice of the government and exhibit loyalty thereto, he should be spanked by the government. While we regret very much the little happening, which may have simply been an indiscretion upon the part of the mayor, for the mayor is one of the strongest and most powerful republicans, and has proven himself a very helpful friend to the Negro, we hope that he will be able to clean the matter up to the satisfaction of the national government, for it means too much, to the Republican party, and the Negro for him to be displaced. Another Side of the Roanoke Church Controversy. Hot Springs, Ark., May 4, 1917. Editor Your Defender, Little Rock, Ark.: Editor of the Peoples Defender, and to the many readers of this paper: Fearing that the wrong conception might prevail in the minds of some of you who do not know us quite so well as one who was taken into our hearts and homes and given access to our church and home life, I thought I would ask permission to say a few words just here: Rev. J. H. Henderson in his resignation makes statements that I consider unfair to the entire church and community. First, he would have you believe that the moving of the old church to the rear of the lot upon which we were to build an amphitheatre. He told that he found as been pointed out to him, that the congregation was divided and scattered. Now if you consider eleven members out of a membership of six hun 30c Per Copy, or $3.60 Per Dozen. R. H. BOYD, D. D., Secretary derd (600) much of a division I gave it up. Only eleven (11) members were around the former pastor. The church he says is about forty eight (48) years old and he is the sixteenth (16th) pastor. I’ve had the good pleasure of being a member of Roanoke Baptist church for nearly thirty (30) years and think I know something of its past history. It of course (not any exception to the rule) has had some dark days but has always stood like a stonewall for the right. He says, “In the main I consider it a pretty good church with many splendid opportunities to be come a great power in this community Roanoke needs no recommendation to this the great old state of Arkansas, for indeed, he has stood for these fifty years in efense of education and missions and a general uplift of fallen humanity. Rev. Henderson also said he found in Roanoke what all of its pastors had to face: "An element of perpetual and unreasonable discord and because of this I have been forced to labor with the sword in one hand and the towel in the other." Well, I have not seen the trovel, but My. the sword. They tell me he cut the class to pieces, that he came out at Richmond Union University, cut Trinity Baptist church from side to side; wielded the sword at the Baptist Academy where he taught in Louisiana and that the Menden Church also saw the blade glitter and I myself saw the blood lying from Roanoke as he used his sword. And now I say, "Peter put on your sword." Those members that he gave his orders for the church to "strike" are loyal Christians. They did not stand by him as he made his daily afternoon and sometimes evening visits to the moving picture theaters nor did they play the races, but reports are that some of those who struck or voted these loyal members out are gamblers. Yet there are some good and doubtless some bad among them on the other hand. I do not understand this inversion of his Christian duties and carrying out his christian duties as a pastor it was interpreted as a sign of weakness." I can't see why one might possibly interpret his, visits as a sign of weakness for any reason whatever. They were not so frequent that one might consider them an over anxiety to draw the membership together and I never heard or thought one thing wrong of him so far as his being a gentleman is concerned for he is looked upon as a good old slow moral man. I believe him to be a gentleman and a good gospel preacher, but his statement leaves room for a doubt of a doubt. While I think him to be a gentleman and gospel preacher, I of course do not consider him a good pastor at all. He cannot say that I opposed him when he was right for I stood by him in public and in private and labored to have him see his stakes when he stakes told him pust what he would come if he did not change his course but in so many words he said as the young man of today. "Tell me nothing, Ask me something." I taken the ground as mediator for the most part but cannot now stand to see a faithful church get the worst of the deal. He says that he has placed Roanoke in the front rank of Negro churches in the South." If anyone will say that Roanoke has not been in the "front rank" for twenty years let him show his head. Roanoke brought him to the front. Who denies that? No one could put his notoriety against Roanoke Baptist Church only with the "sword." Rev. Henderson says: "I would not take advantage of those that oppose me in my sermons." Oh! consistency thou are a jewel. I'll leave that for the public to judge. The members of the flock that he is attempting to lead, that don't agree with him he calls them his enemies in open church from the pulpit. He likes to say "strike 'um.' He is a born fighter and that with his own membership, Dr. Henderson reminds me somewhat of an ox driver and not a feeder of sheep. There were and are some silent members inclined to the right but in an hour of grief when some of these silent members listened for a shepherd with staff in hand instead they heard the voice of a leader with sword in hand who after a stroke was made and these members left bleeding, this their leader cried well done! Oh! that Roanoke had remained on the "Alley" where the door stood ajar and although of frame structure of many years standing stood for more in the sight of the Savior than a pile of brick and mortar. He truthfully says the Baptist church is democratic, but he also says when he gives orders to strike they strike." One would infer from that, that he is the alt. If Rev. Henderson meant to have gone, why did he not read his resignation to the conference of the church and call for an action on it? That he did not do; but read it from the pulpit on Sunday night. He cannot cry Roanoke down, its built on Jesus Christ. Let me repeat, Roanoke is a Missionary Baptist Church. It stands first for Christ then for the redemption of sinners. It believes in education and misstons upon her floor the Arkansas Baptist College was born and is yet a strong supporter of Education. She has sent a Dr. D. H. Harris to the Home Mission field. She has sent a t. W. Longwood and R. A. Jackson to dark Africa and a converted Hebrew back to the city of New York where he preached Christ and him crucified to his own race and now after almost thirty years as a pastor, he is stillly by and by see Oseo old true hearted veterans with the younger ones evil spoken of. That burning zeal and inspiration that Christ gave to me almost thirty years ago speaks and bids me arise and speak in del fence of the cause. Who but a good could turn the Ministry of Arkansas against the grateful people of Roanoke? She has never forgotten the burning words of truth and justice that have been so firmly taught her by her former pastors, who have served her for these fifty years. Yet I would that one good man might have led us all these years. In conclusion let me say this, I never opposed but two pastors in all my Christian life of nearly thirty-five years, and I have been a member of M. Zion, Clayton, Ala. Rev. Wm. Williams, Pastor; Mt. Olive, Atlanta, Ga. Dr. Fisher, Pastor; 2nd Baptist Church K. C. Mo. Dr. S. W. Jacobe, Pastor; 1st Baptist Little Rock, Dr. J. P. Robinson, Pastor; Mt. pleasant Little Rock, Dr. J. P.

Nashille, Tenn., May 11, '17 OFFICIAL OPPRESSION Much is being said concerning the Negro going North and East. Meetings have been held where the orator orated, and the resoluter resoluted. Governers have issued their edicts, legislators have legislated, sheriffs have instructed their deputies and mayors have warned the police chief to stem the mighty stream of blacks who are daily pouring into the North from the South, but these official barriers have not had the desired effect. The white officials don't seem to understand the situation. If instead of passing resolutions, etc., the powers that be should instruct their arresting officers against brutality to the black man, there no doubt would be a cessation of the begraia. There can be no denial of the fact that policemen of Nashville are unnecessarily brutal to Negroes. One day last week, twenty-eight Negroes were arrested in a pool room for no apparent reason at all, since all were working seeking recreation after a day of toil, but not withstanding this, they were hustled to the police station like so many criminals. Friends knowing the character of the men arrested, went to their assistance at the police station, but were shown very little consideration. "Stand back there" was about the only words uttered by the policemen to men who stood ready to put up for the prisoners. Not long since, we are told, that a high-respected student of Meharry Medical College was assaulted by a policeman just for simply walking along Cedar street. Two substantial Negroes were standing in front of a colored business establishment. "Go inside," said a passing policeman. Now we could go on and tell of lots of injustice heaped upon unoffending Negroes, but our space is too limited. Negroes are leaving Nashville to escape the oppression that is so prevalent in official circles. The black man knows he has no redress and it is better for him to leave than to be subjected to the indignities that are his portion daily. We trust that some big-hearted white man with the love of God in his breast will arise and help us to remain in Nashville. We are not asking for but one thing, and that is let this official oppression cease or the Negroes will continue to leave. The policemen of Nashville cause more Negroes to leave this city than all other agencies combined. MOTHER'S DAY Sunday is "Mother's Day." It is presumed that all of us will see that it is fittingly observed. A boy or girl's best friend is the mother. She shares her children's joys and sorrows. She understands things better than any one else. She can give more unadulterated joy to a household than any person in existence. She is the whole home, without her life is a desolate waste. Treat your mother kindly, for when she's gone you'll get no other. She is a friend to you in sorrow, in need, and is always an unwavering friend indeed. Don't let her worry on your account; don't let her mourn over some of your misdeeds or shortcomings, but rather give her all the pleasure you can command. Show to her that she is really the sweetest and most complete woman in the universe. Wear the flower Sunday; don't forget it, as it will signalize your love for her. If perchance your loving mother has crossed the great divide, see that flowers are placed upon her grave. Wear the red rose in her memory—her sacred memory. There will be exercises at the Public Library in honor of Mother's Day. Let's see how many mother lovers will grace the occasion by their presence. We are sure the programme will be inspiring and helpful. Go and thus attest your love for the greatest woman that ever lived—Mother. M.AY Winter has lingered with us long. Yet here is May—month of blossoms and exquisite sunshine, generally. Yet this season the assurances of these delights do not appear to be of a very positive character. May should treat us well—we have had months of desperate gloom. Blizzards—too many to remember—have beat upon us. Cold that went to the deepest bones was our portion. Through it all, we have reached May. Shall we now be comforted? Shall our hearts be warmed by sunny and halcyon days? Were it to speak with unbrilled optimism I should be remiss in honesty. But let us hope and pray. Anybody who will hoard food products in order to exact extortionate prices is unpatriotic, of course. But how about anybody who will hoard food products with the general idea of avoiding the exaction of exorbitant food prices? If the British government refuses to tell the public the truth about submarine warfare, the British public cannot be blamed for inclination to accept at face value the claims of the German government as to the submarine scores. Mother gets only one day, and father doesn't even get that, but baby is assigned a whole week. Does any old grouch step forward to allege that there is unfair discrimination in favor of baby? Very well then. The argument may be considered closed. Basing the judgment wholly on the fighting qualities displayed at loyalty mass meetings, it would be worth England's while to make any sort of concessions in order to get those militant Americans to the front. ```markdown ``` You can tell whether a man is an optimist or a pessimist if you can ascertain the interval between when he quits worrying over the danger of a late frost and when he begins worrying over the danger of an early frost. --- Just to be honest with ourselves, if the Germans were on the offensive and didn't succeed in getting anywhere in particular after a week of heavy fighting, what would we call it? It will not take the draft bill long to get by the rest of the senators, but only one person knows how long it will take to get by Senator La-Follette. Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg finds it necessary every so often to make a speech proposing peace, so the people of Germany will be convinced that the allies are determined to crush them. You can't begin to measure a man's patriotism by his prate. It is what you do for your country, not what you say for it, that counts. When it comes to springing to arms the women may have to teach the men, being experts in such springing. The slogan, "Register or you can't vote," will now be exchanged for a more efficient one, "Register or go to jail." You've got to admit—confound it! that old man Hindenburg is doing a pretty respectable job of stone- walling. It is already suggested that the country will have use enough for fireworks without using them on the Fourth of July. A citizen who can name all outlays ought to be competent for enlistment from an educational point of view. It's all right to wait for the German revolution. But don't hold your breath. They can't deprive the boy Alexis Roman off of all his heritage. He can join the boy scouts. After the new revenue tax gets into good working order, prohibition will be more economical than ever. After the liberty loan, in natural sequence may come the victory loan and the peace loan. Parents may not mind their children as well as they should, but the children say they are improving. A late spring will permit volunteer gardeners to catch up with their good reolutions. God made both sunshine and Sunday. We don't know who devised fishing tackle. Turkey imagines it is at War with the United States. Probably a "sick man"'s fancy. With millions of eggs held in stor NASHVILLE GLOBE.

Held its regular session in the chapel of the Publishing House, Monday morning May 7: 1917, Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., presided. The meeting was interesting from the beginning to the close. The different reports showed much progress among the churches of the city, and of the contiguous vicinities. The plans for taking care of the coming messengers to attend the National Baptist Sunday School Congress (uncohroated) which will convene in this city on the morning of June 16th, 1917. The committees of the ministers alliance are hard at work on the matter of giving to this city and to the visitors that may come here from afar, the best entertainment that has ever been given to a baptist gathering. The ministers reports further showed that seven baptist churches of the city baptized at the same time down at the airport on the Cumberland River where the Baptists and thousands of the citizens of the city were present to witness the secretn rights of the citizens of the city was ordered by Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The number of persons baptised were between seventy-five and one hundred. Much discussion arose over the question of the legality of a pastor of a baptist church baptizing the candidates of a baptist church over which he had no ministerial relation, neither others from the church in question by vote to do it. It was agreed upon by committee, consent, that the bartist can only order baptism by one of the members of his own fold, or the Worshippers of the church who has been elected by the pastor. The meeting is looking after every phase of the religious- and business relations of the Baptists in the city that are presented in this body. One thousand or more dollars were taken by the various baptist churches of the city represented in this body in their regular service on last Sunday. Respectfully submitted. Rev. C. H. Clark, D.

Jackson, marched to the church, where the Courts and Juveniles had already preceded them. After Knights and been given their proper access, the choir came in singing the procesional. The choir was beautifully robed in white and made a lasting impression upon the audience. It is said that this was the best aggregation of musical talent ever heard in LUTHER CUMMINGS. like services in the town. The singers were trained by Mrs. M. J. Astrapp, who deserves a monument of praise for the grace and dignity with which she presided at the piano. Chancellor Commander Luther Cummings called for the reading of the Grand Chancellor's Proclamation and introduced Knight J. J. McElroy as master of ceremonies. The usual readings and responses were had, after which the master of ceremonies produced a wholesome paper, "Calantheism." Mrs. Sallie E. Oliver then read a very intelligent and instructive paper which was highly envolved. Mr. M. L. Miller, of Nashville, a charter member of Eureka Lodge and of Phoenix Court, then spoke reminiscently of the trials and tribulations enquired during the early days of Pythianism in South Pittburg. He was accorded rapt attention. Knight Fred Shackle, an old war horse of the order, told many good things and was given close attention. The sermon by Rev. Hatcher was a gem of the purest ray serene. A good collection was taken. CUNNINGHAM. Sunday being a fair day, we were able to witness the excellent sermons delivered by Rev. Dr. F. P. Kelly, the pastor of the A. M. E.

Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Marshall entertained on last Saturday evening at their beautiful home at 1628 17th Ave., N. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Nelson, Mrs. Rosa Edna and little Miss Margaret and Goldie Drake. It will be understood that this happy party left on Friday, P. on the above stated date, to make the occasion a memorable. The palatial Marshall home was thrown open, and Mrs. Marshall spared no pain in making every thing pleasant for the deraining party. After a few hours of social chatting the guests were ushered into the dining room which was a scene of loveliness, in the center of the dining table was a tall cut glass vase filled with carnations and roses, which was enclosed with hand painted dinner plates which rested on smaller cluney dolls. An appelizing four-course menu was served by the hostess, including two ice courses. At each plate was placed a small leather touching bag which was filled with candy. Those seated around the table were, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Nelson, Mrs. Rose Edna and Miss Margaret and Goldie Drake, Mr. B. P. Lockhinde, and Mr. and Mrs. John Quincey Marshall. Mrs. Marshall was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Alex Kittrell, while Mr. Lockridge was toastmaster of the evening. Mrs. Washington Delightfully Entertained while In The City. While in the city last week Mrs. Booker T. Washington, writer of the lamented Negro leader, was entertained by her friends, Mrs. Washington makes her home at the Napier residence when in Nashville, she and Mrs. Napier being old and very dear friends. Mrs. Washington is well known in Nashville and who are always glad to welcome her in their midst. A woman of very pleasing personality, a wonderful vocabulary and a message to deliver she is easily the principal figure in any gathering where she happens to be. At The Meharry Banquet Mrs. Washington was the distinguished guest of Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Hubbard at the Meharry Banquet, which as President of the College, Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Hubbard and their friends. So very wide is the scope of Meharry Medical College and so very potential is the part played by it in the Life of the Negro people that each year finds around the banquet board a more notable gathering of guests. The Negroes can never forget the influence of Booker T. W. Washington in the foundation laying of the prosperity and progress of the people and Meharry Medical College representing the acme of professional aspiration among our people was glad to have the wife of the apostle of工业教育 as one of its guests Entered Entertained at Lunchon. A delightfully informal affair was the lunchon tendered Mrs. Washington, at the Lunchon home on Hymes St., by Mrs. C. N. Langston. Mrs. Langston is an ideal hostess and her informal affairs are always charming and thoroughly enjoyable. The menu was seved in the morning and arranged dining room thoroughly enjoyed by those present, with Mrs. Washington, the guest of Mrs. Langston at the table were Mrs. J. C. Napier, whose house guest Mrs. Washington was and Mrs. H. T. Noel. The Guest of Dr. Wells. Mrs. Washington was the guest of Dr. Jesse Wells at Hubbard Hospital during her visit to the city. The people of Nashville have a deal of pride in Hubbard Hospital and it is one of the show places of the city. Since it was one of Dr. Washington's bucket Mothers to "Let own Your Bucket Mothers You Are," was very diving that the widow should be the guest of an institution that is an exemplification of this very theory. --- NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY MAY 11. 1917 Tendered a Reception by Mrs. Hale, Mrs. Washington, on Saturday night was the guest of President and Mrs. W. J. Hale at their beautiful home on Centennial Boulevard. Though a very young member of the young married element Mrs. Hale is considered an accomplished hostess.

Patton and preside over by the President. The roll was called and members responded with clues and quotations.

Tea and Art Exhibit that will be given by this club May the 18th at the Y. M. C. A. building. The meeting was then turned over to the hostess. The dining room was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The table had for its center ornament, a cut glass vase filled with American Beauty roses. Around this was circled candesticks shaded with the American Beauty shades. Small roses marked the platter. The decorations were very attractive, all being made by the hostess.

Watkins of Jackson. Tenn., Miss Alice K. Patton of Naples, Fla., Mrs. T. H. Elliott, and Mrs. Murray of Shelby, Tenn. The meeting adjourned to meet with Mrs. H. C.

M. C. A. Ten and Art Exhibit at V. M. C. A. Building Given by the American Beauty Club May 18th, 1917 Mrs. Tom Boarch, Dres. Mrs. W. H. Patton; Sve Mrs. Tom T. M. Patton Mrs. Booker T. Washington Honored Guest of Nashville's Women's Clubs. The Women's Clubs of the city had as their guest for Sunday afternoon Mrs. Booker T. Washington, the wife of the late Dr. Washington, founder of Tuskegetch Institute, at Tuskegee, Ala. Mrs. Washington has been the guest of the City Federation of Women's Clubs on several different occasions, but each time she writes new message and the women are delighted to have her. Mrs. Washington was 'introduced to the audience that filled the historic Congregational Church by Mrs. J. C. Napier. Mrs. Washington made her address delightfully informal by leaving the rostrum and standing in the open space before the pulpit. She explained her action in so doing by stating, that according to all the rules governing such a meeting she knew that she was supposed to stay on the rostrum but she felt on this afternoon that she would like to get very near her hearers. "I belong to that class of persons who believe that if you want to get near people mentally and spiritually you must MRS. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Tuskegee Institute, Ala., who spent last week here and who spoke last Sunday to an audience of Women at Howard Congregational Church. be near them physically. There is no difference between the colored women and the women of other races except that of advantages and opportunities. That is the reason that the colored women who have had advantages over the other women of the race who are supposed to be following them should make good of the opportunity they have had. Phillips Brooks was once criticized for his interest in the welfare of the colored people and silenced his opponent by remarking, "Well, I have had two hundred and fifty years of advantages over the colored people and if they can catch me now they are welcome to it." In the Club Work there are three essential points: the individual work or city work, the state work and the national work. In dealing with the home three things are essential: the father, the mother and the child. No home can grow without the child. In the individual club the women have an opportunity to show what they can do. In a club where ten or twenty-five women come together it is impossible to go away without some new idea of thought. The city Federation must be made up of the clubs of the city and is formed for the purpose of fostering new ideas and ideal inspirations and aspirations. It means women at work in the various sections of the city with one ideal. It means development in your moral, mental and physical life as well as improvement in your home, your church life and your school. I once saw a slogan which said: "Know your home. Know your neighbor's home. Know the homes of your city." I was at a school commencement once, and a tall gaunt youth stepped forward as the valedictorian of his class. I remarked to the lady beside me, "Why on earth did you select him as the valedictorian?" She insisted that I wait till I had heard him speak. I waited and he spoke very well indeed. After the exercise I had a talk with this young man and learned his history. His mother was a beautiful woman who had been very fortunate. His father died and a club of women in the little town took possession of the youth and his sisters. Years later he lived from home to house with the very members of the club but at last feeling that this was not the best thing for a boy they sent him away to boarding school. For seven years he had been the charge of these twenty-five women. These women will have a sublime peace of mind for the boy has proven worthy and every evidence points to the making of a successful man. In a small town in Mississippi the Women's Club took charge of a woman who was thirty years of age because she realized her possibilities and today she is one of the influential, intelligent, wealthy women of the section. In telling her story she remarked to me that at the age of thirty she could not read and write, but of all the women of the club took in her she was admitted to a training school and now can do her own reading and writing and has taught her husband also. A woman's club in the state of South Carolina has a Hospital Clinic that is proving a blessing to the women for miles around. In the last six months they have had twenty-four cases, some of them of women who have suffered for years, because they had no money for treatment or did not know how to go about securing treatment. I am not speaking of such cities as Nashville who have their hospitals and clinics, but you know as well as I that there are sections that have no hospitals and the women are ignorant, as how to proceed to secure the treatment necessary for their relief, and consequently are sufferers. The white women of this country are well organized and are doing splendid work. They are interested in civic and health work. The City Federation is the child of the State Federation. The State Federation is the child of the National Federation.

A great number of the women in this audience have attended the meetings of the National Federation and you have a national officer in the person of Mrs. J. C. Napier on the rostrum. We must teach our people that they must have homes and own property before they can be an economic factor in this country. We visited a reformatory and found a little boy who was there simply because every morning while his mother was at work he insisted in going up the avenue where the rich lived and they could not think why he wanted to come up on the avenue. The policeman saw him there several times and told him if he did not stay off the avenue he would send him to the reform school. He continued to go and consequently was sent to the school simply because he walked on the avenues of the rich, though the state laws plainly say a child must be convicted of some crime or misdemeanor before he can be sent to a reform institute. We have been acquiring now why we as a people want to go where we are not wanted. A woman's club in this city learning of this child's misfortune is paying the rent for this mother that she may stay at home with her children. The National Federation has taken up the work of the Child welfare. A great many mothers do not know what is necessary for their children. I travelled with a very tretful baby not long ago and noticed that the other mother buys only that baby something out of a bottle. Finally I inquired and found she was filling the little thing up on soothing syrup. Giving her a lecture on its dangers I heated a little water in my portable teakettle and gave the baby a bath and was rewarded by seeing it sleep immediately. The mother solemnly promised me that she was going to bathe her baby every night and morning and never again use soothing syrup. The gentleman at the Mehary Medical Banquet read an appalling statistical record of the deaths among our people, but did not tell people what we are dying out at a tremendous rate. We have only to count the funerals that pass us on the streets of our great cities. The federations serve to develop social life also. I have been asked my views on dancing. I thirk dancing beneficial when properly environed however when I was young I did not have time to learn to dance and now I have less time thas ever. The National Federation has 65,600 members and is doing well financially. They own property, club houses and an Old Folks Home. The officers are elected every two years. We are keen only two terms. We are a band of women who believe that what we want to do we can do and we are determined to reach our goal." At the close of the address Dr. Coleman eloquently thanked the speaker for the words of advice and encouragement. She offered a motion to this effect which was ably seconded by Miss Nannie Perkins, Mrs. Susie Carter presented the speaker with a huge bouquet of carnations. The audience was dismissed after singing "My County 'Tis of Thee," by Mrs. J. C. Napier. Prayer was offered by Mrs. G. L. Jackson. YOU ARE INVITED TO THE SUNDAY SCHOOL, CONGRESS, NASHVILLE. TENN.

If people build an old-world building, they feel like to run out of the fuel weak for rundown, instead of closing themselves with habit-forming drugs, stimulants and alcoholic beverages.

Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life with the body as a stomach, then to find the insurance. I was a stomach of a boy of 20 and as full of pressure of a boy and vitality as a young man; in fact a young man he really was notwithstanding his age.

Unlike the other inorganic iron, it does not injure the teeth, make them difficult to wear, and contrary it is a most potent remedy in nearly all forms of indigestion as well as certain conditions. The manufacturers have great confidence in nuxatid iron, that they offer to forfeit $1000 to any one who fails to take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron and increase their intake every weeks time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also lack iron and not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days' time. It is dispensed in this city by all good drug- LOUISVILLE, KY. AT Breakfast.

George Majeroni, who as one of the arch villains supports Mrs. Vernon Castle in the International Patriotic photoplay serial "Patria" released by Pathe and showing at the Star Theatre Thursday was being congratulated by his friends on his success in the part after a private showing of "Patria." "I don't know whether to be pleased with your congratulations or not," he said, racher mournfully. "I have been on the stage full twenty years and have been trying for the greater part of that; time to quit being a villain, but it seems without success. In spite of all my efforts to reform, it seems I smile, and smile, and am a villain still." Throughout my stage career I have plotted crimes and murders without end and have killed and slain until this hand is redder than that of any Borgia. When there was no one else to kill I have had to kill myself a score of times, proving myself to have more lives than the proverbial cat. "It was no use. I was set upon for this part of Senor de Lima in "Patria," and here I am again in villainy up to my neck. I not only plan the murder of the sweet and lovable "Patria," but I even try to marry her. "So I am not, so sure that I am pleased at having done the part of De Lima well, for it may mean that my reform is to be delayed and that my ambition to be a quiet, peaceable and lovable stage character cannot be realized just yet," she writes.

A Thrilling Situation What looks like the end of the Masked Stranger is accomplished by the nefarious Bentley in the sixth end of Pathe's "Mystery" of the Double Cross" serial, to be shown at the Star theatre Monday. With a silencer on his gun Bentley fires across the street at the shadow of the Stranger thrown on the shade of his window. The silhouette is seen to fall and the audience gasses. Then however, the camera gives us a flash of the Stranger's room. With a rude smile on his face he picks up the plaster cast which Bentley has shot and smiles when he thinks of the latter's discomfiture on learning the truth. Mr. O. O. Clendenen. Successor of J. H.

This is a great question to be settled, and I hope it will be settled this very year and settled right, absolutely and once for all. No man can be a real man as long as some one else has to feed him. The one thing that has kept the South dependent has been that although she has had the best opportunity of any section or at least as good and unity as any to produce feed, she has spent her almost complete cotton. Now cotton is a good product but it is one that you cannot eat. Hence in her actions, the south has left out the thought—feed yourself. When the people come to the God-given doctrine of feeding themselves, there will come a change in every phase of life's affairs. The man that learns the lesson of self feed will be the best kind of a neighbor and citizen. This self-feeding should have been long in the past, but it has been left taught and undone. For this reason you will find the nation weak both mentally and physically. Raise what you consume; do this and you will be doing one of the greatest things in your life. Life will be sweeter and will last longer. The earth is candid and no longer a secular care for. Her doctrine is that the man who stirs the to the full will be fed. What causes all this talk about feedstuff? One will be surprised to know that in many portions of the world especially beyond the seas, where the war is on, there is no one to stir the ground for food; hence not only will those countries that can make food be compelled to feed themselves but they must also help feed their fortunate and we in this North and West of sending will have to raise it at home and keep it here in our own crisbs. If not, we will suffer the nangs of hunger. Millions of tons of foodstuff are being sent to the bottom of the ocean every week and unless the people rise up and fill their barnes and turn back to the making and filling up of their own smoke houses, nothing will come to us but starvation and ruin. For number of reasons, the population of the North and West for corn and pork, but in order now to keep away the wolf from the doors of the people of this section, we will have to make this land another Egypt. Millions of men who have been the bread-winners must are on be on the battle-field to protect home and property. Their duties will be such that they cannot stir the earth any more. Hence there must of necessity be rebuilt in the millions of homes and the millions left behind. I can now see as never before, the appaling condition we are facing. But we are not helpless at this time for we can plant all that is necessary for us to consume and gather it that we may not feel the terrible monster—hunger, and avoid the life that we rush down upon us. Let every man take warning and prepare for this condition that must come for unless this warning is heeded it will be impossible for us to escape the scourge. The United States is already at war with a foreign country and the United States is not feeling the pinch. In fact we are feeling it now but not near so much as we will if we do not feed ourselves. —The People's Defender. Brief Bits 'of News' and Comments on Men and Measures. West Point, Miss.-At a mass meeting of West, Point and Clay County citizens, the labor situation, resulting from the departure of thousands of Negroes for the North, was discussed. A resolution was passed providing for the appointment of a commission to act as agent in the county that his business is ruinous to the county and also to request him to desist from recruiting Negro labor for other parts of the country. The labor situation in many parts of Mississippi is approaching a crisis.

C. exodus of laborers, and action, similar to that taken at the West Point meeting, is being urged in other places. Some of the more conservative employers advise less drastic action. It is pointed out that the labor agents have the protection of the law and that complications will inevitably result if the citizens proceed with the single idea that the only way in which they can hold their labor is by literally ejecting the agents from their districts. Making conditions in which they can work Negro laborer will it is said, be a more peaceful means of forcing the labor agent to close his doors. New York, N. Y. The fight against whiskey is on with a vengeance. Temperance advocates throughout the country are urging that it be unrooted, and that this curse of the ages be definitely relegated to the rear. The Heart newspapers throughout the country, led by the New York American, have come out with a bugle blast against whiskey in burning words of fire. The American says: Whiskey and strong liquors can be sold in Germany only during specified hours, but on the other hand, BEERS AND LIGHT WINES ARE A PART OF THE SOLDIERS' RATION AT THE FRONT. The war is driving Europe to temperance and it is doubtful if Europe, facing the tremendous problems that will allow the war, will ever again permit alcohol to resume its damnable and destructive rule. The United States, preparing for war, in the very beginning might well profit by Europe's experience. Whiskey is the great blight of efficiency. The ravages are not less harmful in peace than in war, only more apparent in war. The Heast newspapers have fought for temperance for twenty years. Defending his sweeping order excluding advertisements of ardent liquors from all his publications, Mr. Heast said: "Our papers for years have crushed against the use of whiskey and all such ardent liquors, believing such strong drink to be destructive of the mentality and morality of humanity as well as of the physical efficiency of mankind." This is the truth about strong liquor that Europe has learned in the death grips of battle—"DESTRUCTIVE OF THE MENTALITY AND MORALITY OF HUMANITY AS WELL AS OF THE PHYSICAL EFFICIENCY OF MANKIND." Let one of the very first measures of American war preparation be a blow at whiskey. A law forbidding the manufacture, purchase or sale of liquors containing more than 14 per cent of alcohol, such as has been recently passed by the California Senate, will save more lives, prevent more misery, bring more happiness than all the victories at arms put together. And in the meantime, let us enhance our chances of a victory at arms by destroying the enemy whiskey that is attacking the nation with such frightful results from within.

Dr. Morehouse was born in Stanford N. N., October 2, 1834. The first years of his service were spent in the ministry at various places in the East and West, and since that time and for about forty years he has been constantly in the service of the Ameri-ber. His Majesty be pleased immediately after the beginning of his connection with the Society he devoted special attention to educational work among the Negroes of the South. The mere facts of the life of Dr. Morehouse give only a faint impression of the unique place lie holds in the hearts of Negro Baptists of the South and of Baptists throughout the country. He has ever shown himself a man of vision and true statesmanship. He carried with him a wisdom and hope that ever inspired his associates. His kindly spirit and great fact have accounted for his unusual success in dealing with the difficult problems of Negro education. With full faith in the future he has ever championed the cause of those for whom he labored. Of such a mould was the man whose very life has been an inspiration and a benediction, and whose name is now the emblem of all high purposes and noble resolve for every man who enters Morehouse College. We lament the passing of this great soul—the man after whom our institution is named, the man whose life and character we strive to emulate as ideal for "Greater Morehouse." The following resolutions have been passed by the teachers and students of the College: RESOLUTIONS Whereas, It has pleased our Heavenly Father to take unto himself our beloved friend and brother, Henry Lyman Morehouse, and Whereas, We realize that in the death of Dr. Morehouse, who served the American Baptist Mission Society, for nearly forty years, the cause of Missions and Education loses a wise counsellor, a great-hearted benefactor, and a faithful friend, and Whereas, We remember that throughout his eighty years of service, Morehouse has labored untimely for the good his country, for the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ, in sturdy pioneer effort in the West, in the making of great plans for the Baptist denomination, and in work for the Negro as for all other struggling peoples, ever proving himself a Christian statesman and a far-searing patriot; now, therefore, be it Resolved. First. That we, the teachers and students of Morehouse College, in chapel assembled, do hereby express our great sense of loss in the death of the man whose name our institution bears, and who has given it so much of its best tradition; Second. That we realize that not only our college, and not only Negro Bantists, but humanity at large has lost a friend; Third. That we here highly resolve to emulate this noble Christian example, and to seek eevr to give our best to God, to our college, and our native land. For the faculty— John Hope, President.

SPORTING NEWS The Black Sox's pilot, after weighing the Maroons found out that the only way that they could stop the winning streak of the Maroons would be to send Branham to the hill and they did and the fast Maroons went on at the count of 4 to 0. The Nationals had their second and their thousand dollar infield drilled like soldiers and the fans said that McGraw had better take those children in blue home for they can't hold a light for those old heads to play by and a number of his friends asked him, did he have any chance to win and he replied I have the only chance and my team of 10 would win. I had a lot of clever fellows. Solomon the strong man could not fill his engagement on the hill for the Swifts Monday at the opening game so he sent Sampson a stronger man to the hill and he, although a real hill-billy, and raised on the corporation hill understands falling off a hill and he did it like a big leaguer and gained for the Swifts by a score of 5 to 3 and would have blanked the Nationals had it not been for his wild pitching that caused the three scores that the Nationals made. Sunday the Swifts are going out to Greenwood Park and with Solomon and Sampson on the hill for the Swifts there will be little or no chance for the Mavericks to regular scheduled game Sunday afternoon. So the Nationals are going to whallop the champion Sox in the Dell and these games are all going to be worth while and you should see each and one of them. STANDING OF CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE.

Mrs Ashurn is one of the est known women in America Great Morality Spectacle "The Mighty" at State Normal Presented Friday Night May 18. "The Mighty," a morality spectacle, written by a member of State Normal faculty, will be presented at this institution Friday night, May 18 by 150 State Normal students. The play is based on a statement made by Dr. J. I. Vance, the local prominent white Presbyterian minister, who recently spoke at State Normal, and said: "Not equality, not Blood, Justice is the basis of Brotherhood." From the rise of the curtains in the first scene showing the "Star of Bethlehem" to the closing of the last act, presenting "The Hope of Peace," the uppermost idea kept forward is that "Old Glory" is the flag to teach Liberty to the entire world. By tableaux and miniature drama "The Mighty" attempts to illustrate the moral that through Justice only can a nation hope to be mighty, because Justice is the basis of brotherhood. Up until the mere foundation of a united people in whatever enterprise that nation is enraged There are seven parts with four distinct scenes to the play. State Normal has already built a portmanteau theatre, fully equipped with border lights, three sets of foot-lights, lights for effect, etc. The entire cast of 150 students will ous-entertainments that has ever been given by any school in Nashville. The 150 students are well balanced and trained for the performance and the audience. The students seem pormented with the war spirit the great spectacle is expected to be especially interesting and instructive. The author of "The Mighty" had in mind racial betterment and national solidarity in the present crisis in his work and these are expected to appeal greatly to the audience. The entire set of 150 students will be seen in procession marching through the chapel beginning promptly at 8 o'clock the time set for the play to commence. During the intermissions some splendid exhibition of dancing will be seen in connection with the play. There is small doubt that the State Normal chapel will hold the mammoth audience that is expected to greet this play next Friday night as already there is the greatest demand being made at the institution for seats for the big drama.

White, president of the college, gave the address of the evening commending the results already attained and encouraging to continue and greater achievements. SUSPENSION IN ORDER. (Continued from page 1.) money, from which not a dime's worth or good comes to us in return. I am opposed to this idea of sacrificing the Church upon the altar of education through these useless, cross-make shifts of schools. Speaking of the practice of borrowing money to meet these extortionate assessments, Bishop Lee has already served notice on the men that he wants no debts made against churches for such purposes. He says it enrages the people, sets them to complaining and does great injury to the church. Who dares deny the statement? The men are with Bishop Lee; the not only respect him, but they love him, because he has a heart, and, better still, because he is honest. And yet, if I am to be voted down, I do hope that some strict record will be kept, and that the men who do the voting will be made to "pay the fiddler." They will say by their vote, that the needs of this church be gotten from the people. Their belief it is only fair that they be formed, get it and not come up from year to year with hard luck stories. In other words, they have no right to say it can be done, then "lay down" like cowards on Bishop Lee, and besmirch his record as Bishop with the odium of failure "Bishop Lee's record is already firmly established, and he has only his conscience to please. What has been done during the past four or five years at Shelbyville represents so much blood money. It represents a burden that has completely paralyzed the Church in this State. The water does not leak through the roof of the new building; it pours through. We owe a large sum on the building; and creditors are pushing us; our teachers are unpaid, and Dr Jones needs half the money we are supposed to raise this year, to square up with them; a few weeks ago the good Lord saw fit to "take from us Boy Dormitory, and now we keep boys and girls in one building; and now comes the sad news that Dr Jones himself is ready to "give up the ghost" and turn the whole thing over into other hands. By all means brethren, let's suspend operation awhile, long enough at least to "spit on our hands." and possibly get an other hold. "Dem's my sentiments; think what you please." Mrs. Filla Ballentine, formerly on Pulpak, Tenn., but who now resides in Roswell, N. Mex., for the last two years underwent a very serious operation on April 30th. She is doing as well as could be expected at this writing. The Ryman Auditorium Secured. At a meeting of the Committee on arrangements for the Sunday School Congress that was held on Thursday, and of which Rev. J. A. Brown is the chairman, a report was formulated and the announcement made that the Ryman Auditorium had been secured for the Mammoth Sunday School Mass Meeting to be held on Sunday June 17th under the auspices of the Sunday School Congress.
