VOLUME XIII
REV. W. S. ELLINGTON AT A. AND I. STATE NORMAL
ANNUAL SERVICE AT SCHOOL—“A CALL TO SERVICE,” SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION—EFFICIENCY THE WATCHWORD OF THE DAY.
Rev. W. S. Ellington, pastor of the First Baptist Church East Nashville, preached the annual sermon to the students and faculty of the A. and L. State Normal, Sunday, November 18th at 3:30 o'clock. One of the largest and most enthusiastic audiences that ever filled the beautiful and commodious chapel of that institution was present to hear Rev. Ellington. “A Call to Service,” was the subject of his discourse. He took his text from Joshua 1:2. “Arise, go over this Jordan, thou and all this people, into the land which I do give to them.” He spoke in part as follows:
God has been calling men to service ever since the morning of creation. He is calling some to the field to sow and reap; others to the factories; others to the trenches, and others to the pulpits and to leadership.
The Master is calling prepared men into his service. Efficiency is the burning word that quivers on the lips of all. True merit wins. There never was a time when the world hated sham so intensely and universally as now. The fake, who is busy trying to cover up his imperfections, is despised and rejected. The true man digs deep and builds upon a solid rock; his house will surely stand the storm. He is respected, loved and obeyed.
In our text the heavenly Father commends Joshua to arise and go. Service should follow study, as the day follows the sun. Why should we have religious services? This question is answered by the transfiguration scene. After Peter, James and John had seen Moses and Elijah, and had heard them talking with Christ, they arose and went down the mountain to find a great minute of sick and discouraged people wanting to be healed and comforted. In the services of God's house we gain strength and wisdom. Christ says to those have the light, "Te are the light of the world." Not a little light shining simply to light up your own narrow path, but a great light light to shine in all the dark places of earth.
"Arise" carries with it the giving up of the frivolous earthly cares and duties. Many of us are numbered and vexed with a thousand trifling cares like Martha of old. We have failed to choose the good part which will never be taken from us. The trouble with this world today is, too, many men are robbing their souls to feed their stomachs; impoverishing their brain to enrich their pockets. O how foolish it is to barter away the price of things of eternity for the trash of time! Whose Sanballat asked Nehemiah to give him the task which God had assigned him, however noble, saying, "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down." Work for the Master is great, however noble the world may esteem it. we should he work of the Master to serve Satan, "For the wages of sin is death.
The next thought in our text gives suggestion of the kind of work that God wants done. "Go over this Jordan." This was very difficult, it was hard work. Yes but it was of the highest importance. It was essential to the very existence of the chosen people. They must cross the Jordan, or die like so many autumn leaves in the wilderness. "All things are possible to him that believeth." It took faith to cross the Jordan; simple, childlike faith. When faith took possession of the leader and the people, all else was easy. They simply followed marching orders. The Lord said to them. "When you see the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests and Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place and go after it." "Go after it," go after the Ark, follow the manifest presence of God. Whether he leads across a swollen sea, or into a den of lions, or into a burning fery furnace; follow him and all it well

AUDITORIUM CROWDED.
Memphis, Tenn., Nov 20th. Nebraska, Nebraska.
Thousands of friends, sympathizers and citizens of Memphis, augmented by a half hundred out-of-town visitors, paid their last respects over the remains of the late Rev. T. J. Searcy, D. D., today at the Church Auditorium where the funeral services over the distinguished Baptist prelate and minister of the gosped were held. The oldest residents of this city declared that not in the history of Memphis has a funeral been so largely attendee or attracted so many notable persons from various states in the Union, who journeyed especially to the city to be present and to participate in the ceremony of services. The Seary passed away last Saturday at 1:29 p.m. News of his death spread throughout the city rapidly. Telegrams and letters flew thick and fast all over the United States, and after a hurried conference with members of the family and intimate friends, together with the officers of the church, the funeral hour was set for ten o'clock Tuesday, Nov.
The Late REV. T. J. SEARCY. D. D.
Pastor Metropolitan Baptist Church
of Memphis, Tenn.
29th. The largest and most spacious building in the city was secured for the occasion. Notwithstanding the bereaved family had requested a simple funeral, pressue was brought to bear from within as well as without the city to allow the friends of the noted dead to have at least a word to say over his remains. Both races were represented on the program, and men from the professional as well as the business walks of life participated in arranging crowds and throngs of people not only filled the space of auditorium, but for yards away from the building, spreading out in the Church Park where the auditorium is located, one could hardly reach the building.
FUNERAL SERVICES
Slowly, with sorrowing hearts and solemn tread, the family and friends with the honorary pall-bearers of the late Dr. Searcy wended their way from the residence at 385 S. Cynthia Place at 9:30 this morning to Church's Auditorium on Beale Avenue, where the former pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church had lain in-state in order that the thousands of friends might view the last remains. As the solemn procession turned into Beale Avenue with its official escorts, a passage was compelled to be made in order that they might have access to the street, so dense was the throng of people lining both sides of the streets, with bowed heads even to get but a glimpse of the massive casket containing all that was mortal of this city's most distinguished citizen. When the procession reached the auditorium a chair consisting of members of the Metropolitan and other members of the city sang softly, but when the procession marched up the aisle a funeral dinge was begun as the long line filed in
"Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep. From which none ever wakes to weep A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes."
broke forth, carrying with it sorrow that was plainly audible throughout the great audience. Scripture was read by Rev. W. W. Whitton and prayer was offered by Rev. W. J. McMichael; then the Howe Quartett rendered a selection. Following this telegrams and letters were read from prominent people throughout the United States, then eulogistic remarks and resolution by Rev. W. T. Vernon, D. D., pastor of the Avery Chapel A. M. E. Church, who told of his association and of the esteem of the deceased. Rev. Henry A. Boy, secretary of the Sunday School Congress, Nashville, Tenn., who said he had made the trip directly from Philadelphia where he was on business for the denomination, to be present at the event, to present his father, Rev. R H Boyd, who had been healed and his father had been friends for a quarter of a century. Rev. J. S Loving (white) of Memphis, Rev. Ben Cox (white) of Memphis, Judge J. S Greer, Dr. A. A.

of whom paid special tribute to the life and character of the deceased. At the conclusion Miss Sallie Hill sang "The Sparrow." Resolutions were then read from the Metropolitan Baptist Church by Mr. L. C. Moore, the Grand Master of Odd Fellows for the state of Tennessee. Other resolutions were read by Prof. C. J. Neal, Mrs. Cooper, and Mr. Z. L. Bonner Rev. R. S. Cooper, following this Miss L. E. Campbell an active worker in the Metropolitan banist Church, read the following obituary:
"Rev. T. Co. J. Searcy was born in Rutherford Co. Tennessee, Nov. 17 at 7:00 p. m., died Saturday Nov. 17 at 7:00 p. m., age 64 years. He graduated from Roger Williams University May 14, 1880. In 1882 he was called to pastor the First Baptist Church of Brownville, Tenn., which church he served faithfully for eleven years. He was then called to the Tabernacle Baptist Church Memphis, and after serving seven successful years, he resigned this charge to accept the position of Field Secretary, having been called by the Baptist State Convention and Home Mission Board (white) He served here four years. On Oct 2, 1902 he accepted the pastorate of the Christian British Church. He served this church 15 years. In all these years he has given nurturing service for the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ. His word always bore consolation and faith. His last service in the Metropolitan Church was the first Sunday in July. He went home from this service to rest and to come back to his flock. He did not speak of death during his illness, but was patient in the hope to enlarge the church, his greatest ambition."
At the close o f the obituary the choir from the Metropolitan Baptist Church led the singing, while the congregation joined in.
REV SEARCY KNOWN IN NASH
VILLE.
The Rev. T. J. Searcy, whose funeral services were held at Memphis, Tenn., this week, was well known in Nashville. At one time he was called to take charge of the First Bapt. Church in East Nashville, and it was thought at that time that he would accept. Then on another occasion during his service in the educational work of the National Baptist Convention, while the late Rev. A. N. McEwen, D. D. of Mobile, Ala., was acting as secretary it was thought that the Board had practically decided on Dr. Searcy's funeral service. Seminary. He often visited the city, an alumnus of Roger Williams University, he was often here to the Board meetings. The Baptist Minister's Conference of this city over which the Rev C. H. Clark, D. D., presides, is understood to have passed fitting resolutions of his death.

EAST TENNESSEE PYTHIANS ACTIVE
EAST TENNESSEE PYTHIANS ACTIVE
DEPUTY BANKS A HUSTLER—
PEACE AND HARMONY IN HAM-
ILTON COUNTY—EXCELLENT
WORK BEING DONE.
During the latter part of last week the Field Deputy Grand Chancellor visited Chattanooga and found the Mountain City in excellent condition. Peace and harmony reign supreme in Chattanooga and Hamilton county.
The work of the Grand Deputy, Sir A. Banks is apparent. A unique feature of his activity is that of adding new members of all of the lodges in his district.
Sir Luther Duncan, Grand Master-Arms, has been very active in Delphia Lodge. Eighteen additions represented one week's work.
Hill City added five, St. Luke fourteen, Royal six, Crystal six, Timothy five and Syracuse three.
His last week fifty-seven new members added to the order in Chattanooga alone.
Sir Fred Douglass is also doing good work in his district. He is organizing a new lodge in Sweetwater.
While in Chattanooga Sir Fite visited Syracuse Lodge No. 5 to which such live wires as J. Milton Easterling, Morris, House, Tyre, Miles, Wollife and Allen belong. These wires go.
The Field Deputy was greatly impressed with Sy.acuse Lodge, its officers and the manner in which the business was conducted. Punctuality in opening and closing the lodge and their attention to detail made the meeting even more impressive. This good lodge subscribed $200 to the Liberty Loan Fund.
New J. Tate, the eloquent Grand Protector and then Singleton have already organized a lodge at Alco and are extending their efforts to Lenof City, Louden and Marsville.
It seems that the Great Booster Campaign is now on in earnest, both ends of the state are working hard to roll up the greatest number of new members. Middle Tennessee is waking up also. The lodges in Nashville are being strengthened by the additions of new members or re-instatement at a raid ra'e. Friendship No. 72 added eight to its roster Monday night.
On Sunday, November 25th, a union initiation will be held at the Pythian Temple at 2 o'clock p. m. Sir R. E. Gee and a picked team will take charge of the work. From the report of the Grand Medical Register, Dr. W. A. Thompson, many are being added daily and that his office is being swamped with application blanks. It is interesting to observe that the principles of the order are being more and more appreciated throughout the state. Mrs. Walter L. Jones, city chairman of the Food Pledge Card Campaign, wishes to thank every person in the city who helped to make the campaign a success, and wishes to call especial attention to the splendid spirit of intelligent helpfulness shown by the colored race.
FIRESIDE SCHOOL
The Training Classes for Christian Workers conducted by the Fireside School at their headquarters continue
in number and interest. A feature of interest and inspiration is the singing at the close of the class on Friday morning, led by Mr. E. W. D. Isaac Jr., Under his able direction, the class is doing some fine chorus singing.
The course in "First Aid to the Injured," begins on Thursday evening as part of the work of that course. Dr. Hubbard has charge of this work and under his direction lectures on practical subjects regarding health and what to do in emergencies will be given by competent instructors. The first lecture is to be on "Poisoning—what to do" by Dr. W. R. Baker. It impedes a large number will avail themselves of the opportunity presented in this course. The class meets at 5:30 and closes at 7:30, the doctor's lecture coming at seven o'clock. The tuition for the entire course is fifty cents, which covers all expenses.
Mrs. F. E. Dawson, President of the Federation of Women's Clubs, was appointed chairman-at-large by Mrs. Jones, and with her usual executive ability she immediately began naking arrangements looking to a thorough canvass of the city. The ward and block system was adopted as the most effective method of reaching the people and it was necessary to appoint a chairman for each ward in which the resident colored population was sufficiently large to justify such service. These chairmen were: Mesdames G. H. Haynes, S. W. Crostwalt, J. T. Pierce, P. R. Burrus, J. C. Napier, Mary Bennett, Henry Jones, J. A. Lester, J. H. Franklin, Jie Reece, C. V. Lane and S. P. Harris. These received their appointments through Mrs. Dawson and they in turn appointed their workers and hired them to canvass for signatures. These bore the hardest part of the campaign, but in every instance the work was done with a willing spirit and with a full sense of what our government means when it asks us to conserve food now in order to avoid possible discomfort.
Early in the campaign it developed that the eighth ward had not been organized. Mrs. Jones asked Mrs. Julia Williams, president of the Mothers' Club of Bethlehem House, to take the ward chairmanship. She has done splendid work not only in the 8th, but in the 24th, which had not been fully organized and her services have been greatly appreciated. Her assistants were: Mrs. Sallie Sawyer, Mrs. Minnie Anderson, Mrs.
Fannie Chalborne, Mrs. Margaret Clayton, Miss Fairfax Butler, Miss Lillian Harrison, Miss Emma Oinstead, Miss Vera Food, Miss Miriam Garrott, Miss Joanna McAdams, Miss Theresa Broyles, Miss Ethelne Beasley, Mrs. Marie Johnson, Miss Mary Davis.
Superintendent J. J. Keyes of the city public schools, gave permission for speaking on the necessity for the conservation of food. Mrs. George Coleman addressed the students at Walden.
Courage, patriotism and a desire to fully co-operate with the food administration in its attempt to supervise the food supply of our nation was shown by the faculty and student-body of Flisk University, which turnaside from academic duties and listened to an address on this subject by Dean C. W. Morrow, after which they enthusiastically signed the pledge card as required.
Mehary and Walden also mentioned a keen interest in the city campaign.
Mrs. Jones suggests that neighborhood clubs be formed for the exchange of ideas and practical experiences in home economy. This will keep the saving of food before the people, will be of great mutual bone fit and will show an interest and appreciation of our personal responsibility to our government at this time.
LEWIS M. HOYLE LEAVES FOR CAMP
Nashville has furnished another recruit for the national army in the person of Lewis M. Hoyle of 16 N. Hill street. Mr. Hoyle is a member of the senior class of the college preparatory department* of Walden University. He left for Camp Meade, Md., to attend college. November 10, where he will receive training in military tactics. A number of friends were at he station to see him off and wish him Godspeed, including many classmates, who gave the school "yells" and sent off their comrade with all sorts of cheers. His many friends will follow him when they in their own class, and him much success and advancement and a safe return to those who hold him most dear.
HOME-COMING AT THE THIRD
AYENUE BAPTIST CHURCH
DECEMBER
Sunday was Home-coming Day at the Third Avenue Baptist Church and the Spirit of the Lord was abroad in this historic structure all day. Beginning with the Sabbath school in the morning the whole day was a love feast. At the 11 o'clock hour the congregation adjourned to the river, where several who had previously confessed Christ were baptized. The B. Y, P. U. meeting in the evening was very interesting and largely attended, but the pastor preached from the text, "I Have Fought a Good Fight." The message he conveyed to his congregation was one of hope, courage and love.
At the conclusion of the sermon a report was made of those who had contributed during the day. The pastor had asked that all who were members of the church should celebrate the day by bringing a piece of money for each year of membership the denomination of the coin to be decided by the member's conscience. The day the envelopes was very interesting.
Good music was furnished by the choir with Mr. Wm. R. Roache at the organ.

CHARGE FROM NATIONAL
ARMY
After receiving an honorable discharge from the National Army and being enlisted in the Medical Reserve Corps, J. Carnegie Mayberry, one of Nashville's heroes has returned to the city to complete his education in Dental surgery at Meharry Dental College, after which he will return to render service to his country in that capacity. While in the National Army he was appointed Non-commissioned officer, but upon his return he will be ranked as First Lieutenant. He says the boys from Tennessee and belonging to Co. L. 368 Infantry, of which he was a member are making good and will be known in the future as the heroic 368th.
All are in good spirit and wish to be remembered by their friends, also wish to express their gratitude for the generous hospitality and good wishes accorded them upon their departure by the women's committee of the Council of National Defense, the Y. M. C. A. and their friends of Nashville.
Dr. Mayberry, after leaving camp Meade, visited friends in Baltimore, Md., Washington, D. C., Parkersburg, W. Va. and Cincinnati, Ohio. Before starting home he went to Philadelphia. A month before he began dental instruments used in the dental profession for the benefit of the people of Nashville in need of dental service which can be had by him at Meharry Dental College free of cost.
He will also be glad to see at any time the parents, relatives, wives, sweethearts and friends of those at home, and things to know the general condition of the welfare of those in whom they are interested at Meharry Medical College.
DR. HUMBLER OF LOUISIANA
PASSES MARYLAND STATE
Dr. Oliver J. Humbler, Jr., of Louisiana and a graduate of Meharry Medical College who is now residing in Washington, D. C., and in the employ of the Department of Justice in the same city, wrote about two months ago, stating that he had passed the Maryland State Board of Medicine and Surgery and a few days ago he wrote that he had passed the Washington Board of Medicine and Surgery and that he would practice in Washington, D. C. He also stated that he was the father of a son which was thirty-two days old. Dr. Humbler is of the class of 16 and Meharry is in having a son that pass such very tedious boards. Dr. Humbler is to be commended. Meharry, the class of '14 and all his friends wish for him a glorious success in the practice of his well chosen profession.

WAR FUND IN NE-GRO COLLEGES
$10,000 FOR Y. M. C. A. AND Y.

ALREADY SUBSCRIBED—HAMP
TON AND VIRGINIA LEAD.
As a result of campaigns during the past month for war work of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. in 40 Nergo colleges and secondary schools nearly $10,000 has been subscribed. Mr. Channing H. Tobias and Miss Mary G. Evans are executives of the colored division of the North American Council of Student Movements which has set before it the task of raising $1,000,000 for army work at home and abroad. When the colored leaders set before them an object of $10,000 to be raised from colored colleges and secondary schools it was thought by many to be an impossible undertaking, but when the appeal was made to the schools that this effort furnished an opportunity to those left behind to enter into fellowship with the sacrifices of their own men who were going forth to give life itself they responded in truly heroic fashion. The following is a partial list of subscriptions made:
Hampton Institute $1,000
W. Va. Collegiate Institute 711
Howard University 420
Fisk University 387
Benedict College 350
REV. J. L. HARDING,
Pastor of Third Avenue Baptist
Church, whose congregation had
their Home-coming Sunday.
The interesting thing about it all is that the subscriptions are being collected promptly. Hampton Institute and Union University have both collected their subscriptions of $1000 each; Haines Institute, of Augusta, Ga., subscribed $144 and collected $234. The collecting campaign is still going on and from present reports there is every reason for believing that not less than 80 per cent of all subscriptions will be collected.
A circular appeal is being sent out this week urging all schools in which campaigns were not held to observe Nov. 27th as a special day of prayer and offering for the War Fund. It is hoped that the same spirit of sacrifice may characterize their response as was true of those that participated in the subscription campaign.
Dr.勉ly assisted in their campaign work by Dr. J. E. Moorland, Secretary J. H. Mcrew of Mrs., Secretary J. B. Watson of Atlanta, President John Hope of Atlanta, Mrs. Mary C. McCryor of Charlotte, Prof. W. H. Holloway of Talladega, Miss Holmes of Hampton Institute, Rev. Mordeck Johnson of Charleston, West Va., Miss May Belcher of St. Louis, Secretary M.

He had not before spoken here in this order and won for himself honors, the audience at no time tired of his pointed remarks, but urged that he should continue.

Just as Woodford Chapel was getting ready to make a record break, comes the news that Rev. J. D. Sinclair has transferred to the Ohio conference. It seems a blow at a critical juncture.

SPORT
Although Fisk has suspended intercollegiate athletics on account of the war, yet realizing that the public of Nashville with its many schools is clamoring for a taste of football and especially the annual Thanksgiving contest, Fisk Athletic Association with the aid of Walden University has arranged to satisfy this demand for a game on Turkey Day. Both Walden and Fisk have moulded together formidable football machines that will bid fair to stir the hearts of the gridiron enthusiast as in the days of yore when Fisk and Mehary used to meet for the Thanksgiving contest. Those who are well versed in the football done on the coming clash seem to pick Walden's team as the favorite because it has done quite a bit of practice. Several experienced men coming from such teams as Howard's and Morehouse's have been added, and it has the valuable experience of having met another team in combat.
On the other hand, Fisk's team has not engaged in any contest this season, but according to Coaches Zeigler and Kean the team possesses the old characteristics, lightness and swiftness. The backfield men weigh on an average of about 145 pounds, on an average about 155 pounds. There are also 155 year's varsity team to form a nucleus around which the team has been built up, yet the old Fisk spirit permeates the new men as it did the former players on Fisk's teams, and this season's machine will surely put up a tight worth any one seeing. In every event there will be a great battle between the "Gold and Blue" and the "Chuteen and Blue" yells, songs and football enthusiasm galore. Don't miss this rare treat. The game will be called at 2:30 p. m. at the Nashville Athletic Park Thursday.

P. Kirk Snyder
After a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Union and a 26-6 victory over Virginia, head coach Williams finally succeeded in renovating the weak places in his machine caused by draft. Coach Collins' big husky Lincholites arrived on the campus Thursday morning and after a secret practice Thursday on our field, were ready to enter the fray. A heavy wind was sweeping along the Virginia shores, but later up in the day "Ole Sol" peeped out from under his gray curtain and the weather became excellent for the fray. Promptly at 2:30 the official blew his shrill whistle. Capt. Barbour won the toss and chose the south goal for his men to defend. Capt. Harvey if Robinson consented to kick off. Rigney for the kick and he was ordered to kick off again. Lincoln received the ball and was down on the twenty yard line. Lincoln attempted a right end run and was downed by Paxton. After both teams had secured the ball sev-

Then Hampton secured the ball. Owl punted the ball out to Archer who ran it back, whistle blew. (First quarter.) Hall was put in play on Hampton's 32-yard line. Archer attempted a tilt and missed.

UNION VICTORIOUS OVER
HOWARD 16-0
Richmond Va. Nov. 20.
Special to the Globe:
The Va. Union University aggregation again broke her record and established herself as a champion. The red and steel combination gave Howard the severest drubbing that she has ever experienced on her field. The well oiled machine of Coach Robinson worked with clocklike precision and surpassed the Howard squad in every manner. The Washington boys were only able to score two first downs against their formidable opponents while the Unionites ran wild around the ends and "tank" Woods plunged their paper line continually for long gains.
Howard kicked off to Union but the Unionites seemed to be a trifle slow getting their machine started. Here Howard took advantage and put up her strongest fight of the game. On the fourth down Hucles punched and returned thirty yards and finally brought the ball to Union thirty-five yard line and the home fires ceased to burn when Fisher's drop kick failed to go over.
Union failed to gain on four downs and the ball went over likewise Howard failed, the ball going to Union in her own territory. "Tank" Woods began Union's terrible offensive by going over right tackle for four yards, then Hucles passed forty yards to Taylor and the speedy Gregory completed this move by skirting and running through amaaca of would be tacklers for a touchdown. Hucles kicked goal. Howard being unable to davance her distance from kickoff punted to Union. Waters and Young in their vain effort to stop Hucles on the return collided. Young being knocked unconscious. The second quarter, found the ball on Union's forty yard line from which Union held her second successful pass. On the first kick, Hucles punted and Howard failing to gain also kicked. Gregory returned the punt twenty yards, and constant plunges by the red and steel backs carried the ball to Howard's five yard line but a penalty on Union brought the oval back and Hucles booted the pigskin between the uprights.
In the second half Union seemed to grow stronger and refused to allow Howard to advance the ball from her territory, forcing her to kick. Gregory received the punt and ran through the Howard combination for forty yards, visitors failing to gain from her here, left on the field, recovered it when Taylor intercepted a pass. Gregory brought the ball into kicking distance, but Hucles failed
Here Howard beginning to play entirely on the defensive kicked. The quarter four dthe ball in Union's possession but Howard grabbed the ball on a pass to Taylor and immediately punted the ball to Union's elusive quarterback who sidestepped several tacklers and ran thirty-five yards. Johnson and Woods by heavy tackles and a final touchdown of the game. The game ending with Howard having the ball in midfield. The Unionites went wild with enthusiasm as their champion eleven marched from the gridiron.
Union lost several of her best men on account of the war nevertheless Coach Robinson with undaunted spirit produced an aggregation which no team has been able to get closer than twenty-five yards of her goal line. Neither Hampton nor Howard were able to cope with the fast red and steel warriors.

HIGH 7
Nov. 17, 1917.
In a lapsed foot ball game the fleet-foot ball aggregation of gridiron warriors of Lincoln High School overwhelmingly defeated their less gritle opponent of Columbia, Mo. by the score of 62 to 7. Forty-five seconds after the sound of the first, refreshe whistle, Lincoln had the evasive pig skin permanently planted behind her opponent's goal for the first touchdown. From that time on the game parteok of the nature of a giant taking candy from an imminent bake. Nevertheless by th interception of a beautiful executed forward pass. Turner, the alert half back of the visitors by remarkable broken field running, succeeded in scoring the only touchdown for the visitors. The rushing attack of Lincoln kept her lighter opponents bewildered throughout the game.
Touchdowns were made by Jesson (3) Person (2) Koonce, capt., (2) Sharp Miller and Silvers. East St. Louis is loud in her praise of Coach Gould has put into the field such a winner with so limited amount of material.

WRIGHT-KELLY
Beautiful Holy Trinity Church in South Nashville, raising its slender Gothic stelepe to the sky, was the scene of one of the most interesting occasions in its history Sunday morning, when the Rector, Rev. Elmer M. M. Wright was joined in the holy bonds of matrimony to Mrs. Mabel Kelley. The interior of this beautiful structure was lavishly decorated with palms and chrysanthemums. The altar and chancel presented a Scene of unusual loveliness with the rangement of these autumn flowers. The lighted candles in their silver sockets added to the beauty of the scene. The morning sun shining through the leaded windows smiled upon the beautiful scene and cast a halo over all. Promptly at seven-thirty o'clock to the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding
---
March played by Prof. Clemmons the bride, charmingly gowned in a grey crepe meteor and georgette crepe wedding toilette trimmed with pearl accessories, entered with Prof. H. L. Keith. She carried a lovely bouquet of chrysanthemums. She was met at the altar by the groom, who entered from the vestry. The impressive ceremony which made them one was said by Archdeacon Denby, assisted by Father Lewis of Hopkinsville, Ky. After the ceremony communion was administered to the happy couple. At the conclusion of this solemn service Rev. and Mrs. Wright left the altar with the Recessional, played by the organist. From the church they went directly to the home of Mrs. Laura Polk Smith, where they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. Winzele Simms at a handsomely appointed breakfast.
Rev. Elmer M. M. Wright came to Nashville from the State of Virginia and is a representative of one of the oldest families in the state. For the past two years he has been rector of Holy Trinity Church and in that short length of time has made himself felt as a man of weight in the community. Quiet, unassuming, yet broad-minded and decidedly level-headed, his future is one of the most promising of any of the young ministers of the Church. He has the faith and problem with the communities of Holy Trinity and large circle of friends in other churches who wish him well.
Mrs. Mabel Kelley Wright is from the state of Arkansas and is connected with one of the most highly respected and influential families in the country. She is a graduate of one of the best institutions in the country and by her charming disposition and loving personality has a large number of friends and relatives whose interest was centered in her marriage.
"AFTER OFFICE HOURS."
The season's sensational success, Roy Foster's daring and much-talked about play, "After Office Hours," will be the attraction at the Orpheum Theater for one week beginning Monday, November 26th. The concerns the butterfly life of little Miki Kinchair, a $15 a week stenographer employed in the office of a Wall street broker, whose blind faith in her employer's integrity proves to be the cause of her undoing. In three intensely exciting acts the play truthfully depicts conditions that are known to exist in what we are pleased to term "our best families," and the sad plight of the innocent victim of a rich man's perilty will be bound to tug at the heartstrings of every man, and particularly every woman, who sees the play. After Office Hours, however, has a different story, because instead of losing out with the man, the girl gets even—and compels the cause of her great suffering to assume his share of the burden. Matinees— Tuesday, Thanksgiving Day and Saturday.

MEHARRY BIBLE CLASS
Is it worth while to pray? Those who prayed and their results were the facts emphasized by Dr. C. V. Roman to his Sunday school class—the Meharry Bible Class of St. Paul A. M. E. Church—last Sunday. Who answered Nehemiah's prayer was a question for a class carefully consider. Then were asked present. The lesson of the Sunday before was reviewed by Mr. A. H. Stephenson. This is probably the largest class of its kind in the city. The average attendance is about one hundred. It appreciates much the presence of its never-tiring teacher every Sunday, rain or shine.

The Danger of Evtravagance.
Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D.
Extravagance is the most common thing now going on possibly. It is mighty common among the American people and although this statement may be a little broad yet especially it is true as it concerns the colored people. With all of the sign-boards of warning that have been set up upon the road to check to check the headway of my people rushing into this seething whirlpool. They seem to delight in glory about what they spend and throw away; they never stop to think about the coming rainy day, or of the impending snow-storm or the great expanse of the future. Thousands of my people made in the cantonments this year as high as nine and ten dollars a day for months and they spent it as if this kind of a thing had not happened for many years. When the work at these places was principally suspended for colored men, some of these same persons had but little more than they had when they first began work. The greatest desire of my people, it seems today is to throw away what they have earned by hard toll and sweat. They only count the dollars but never count the cents just as though cents did not make dollars. And so they go on through life in this careless world, and they endure the careless spendthrifts among our race who have been prosperity stricken for more than two hundred years.
Provisions are so high that a man will squirm to pay the prices for them. And some things, especially food stuffs are up so that one cannot afford to pay the price. Yet my people buy cigars, snuff and such worthless things. Now this is what I call an unholy waste; it is both sinful and devilish; and such a life is not worth living. It is very unbecoming for parents to raise up children in this way, teaching them to throw away their errings and use their money in a way that is not beneficial neither helpful to them. Such actions only mean that the children will only oke out a poor existence and will soon die with disease and decay.
One of the many things that we should know how to prolong life and to retain health so that conditions in our homes. But I fear too many of us discard the idea to do those things but prefer to do the things which we please to do, and especially is this true when we are pleased to do wrong.
Many of our farmers are making just money enough to take care of themselves comfortably; yet they are buying automobiles when they do not even own homes and have no place to put an automobile after it has been purchased. This is both extravagance and nonsense. The first duty of every man is to secure a home for himself, wife and children. There is land enough in America to afford for every child a house, the city or rural district. I ask any sensible man—why plunge into luxury in this way when the main spring of life has been left off. A homeless man as well as a homeless family is a very pitiful object. I would advise my people everywhere, if you are a farmer to buy a farm and if you are to live in the city, buy a house and lot. Whatever you do buy a home somewhere. I wish I could turn the heart of my entire people against extravagance and teach them to save that which costs you every cross-road possible, in every district and hamlet, warning the people against this merciless extravagance, but I am sorry to say that thousands of them are like the people in the day of the flood who paid no attention to the warning until they were swept from the face of the earth by the on-coming flood and then it was too late. The pests have come to the farmer and destroyed his cotton and the draught has come and burned up the farmer's corn and almost all crops have been cut short. Then why should we not heed this warning against extravagance and burnt up the farmer's corn and whose aim would be to better the condition of both man and beast and the entire country at large. Let us remember that this is no time for folly and play but we must get down to real business—we are in life's battle for butter and bread.
I fear that of all the people in this country my people are the most wasteful. Now this I say must not last for it it sets us in the light of the world as both worthless and dangerous to society and furnishes that which militates against us as a race. Let us hear and take heed while it is day. For the time will soon come when every word of warning will stare us in the face and when devastation and ruin shall cause us to halt and opportunity rise up and condemn us at the bar of intelligence.
THE VANGUARD ATTEMPTS TO
MISLEAD THE PUBLIC.
It is all right to contend, and to use all proper means and methods to win in a contest, but to deliberately and maliciously misrepresent things to do distort and juggle the facts until they are misleading, in fact to send forth in public print a real "lie," is so beneath a real Christian gentleman until he had much rather lose in a public controversy than resort to such practices. The Vanguard man, in his attempt to bellittle and ignore the financial assistance given to the Arkansas Baptist College by the real Missionary Baptists who do not agree with the management of our educational work in the state, draws himself down into the gutter, into that strata of humanity occupied by the world's basest. He permits himself to play the role of the lying deceiver, and send broadcast to the world statements that he knows are misleading. We do not wonder at the stagnant, non-progressive condition of many of our public enterprises, for in many instances they have at their heads men who do not hesitate to perform immoral, un-Christian deeds and utter the most malicious falsehood to carry a point with the unsuspecting and trusting public. In his attempt to have the people believe that three men, the (trumvirate) "stole the money as usual," he
NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 23, 1917.
both at the same time attempts to assassinate, by ambush, human character and destroy the regular organization of the association. Why not be honest with your own conscience, with your brethren, who took the lead they have to help you and the public, whose minds and souls you are trying to corrupt. Mr. Vanguard Editor, why not like an honest man and Christian gentleman, say, through your paper that those men stood for money for the institution, and since our difference and separation they have been replacing it? You know that those educational notes justly made by the institution are in the bank and are being cared for by what you term the rumpers, for you know that you and Dr. Morris carried $1,000.00 in cash down (in cash) last year and tried to settle them and could not because of the under study between the bank and the Union District Association. For a man whom the people have elevated and trusted with place and power to mislead that people by the foul means of lying, constitutes a major crime. The diabolism of which no gentleman would be guilty. Let the public bear in mind all other statements by whomsoever made, of the contrary, that the Union District association assembled at Woodson ap propriated the neat sum of $797.75 to the Arkansas Baptist College. Any man or set of men who says anything else or preaches any other statement than that are liars and base deceivers and the truth is not in them. We defy and challenge any man of honor to dispute us.
SAWED OFF HIS HORNS
The Rev. J. H. Hammonds, discoursing with some of his friends some six or eight months ago, was pleased to announce to them that his horns were growing out, referring of course, to the success he was having, and the influence he was gaining in the ranks of his corporation brethren. He gave his friends to understand that he had been kept in the background for a long while, but everbody had him to reckon with now, since his horns were growing out and indeed had already grown keen and sharp. It appears however in the full use of his horns he happened to gore the wrong person or at least shook his head as though he might proceed to hook and horn things considerably unless he was given considerable attention and rubbing down. In fact, it is said that he actually shook his head in a somewhat warlike mood at the president of the college and told him a few things. In fact, his horns turned in an objectionable and threatening way, became a menace to that gang of autoeaters, who have long been accustomed to having their way without let or hindrance. Thus a scheme, deep and broad, seems to have been laid to rid him of his war like appendages. In harmony with a well laid plan, a few of the slaves of the wouldbe lords, lamented him down at the association and held him hard and fast while with saw and knife, Moderator Cavar proceeded to officially dishonor him. He is reported to have bucked and yelled mightily in protest, but when they got through with him he was as hornless of a moody calf.
DR. CAMPBELL THE TEXAS
GIANT.
One of the Tallest Trees in the Baptist Forest.
Dr. L. L. Campbell of Austin, Tex., President of the General Educational and Missionary Convention of Texas, seems to have been especially ordained and appointed of God to direct the movements of the vast educational and missionary forces of that great state. While the Baptists of Texas are almost numberless, they seem to be led and directed by such master spirits until their organizations are the most complete and efficient. Possibly no state in the Union can boast of as many proud and distinguished sons as Texas. When we look over our nation and study the proud record of our great denomination, we find the men who were bred and born in Texas or who in early life adopted Texas as their own, towering high and measuring up in mind and spirit with those of any other clime. But nub of the sons of Texas in our judgment hath ever reached a grander height and reached more nobly among his brethren than does Dr. L. L. Campbell. In fact, it appears to the editor of the People's defender to the author of a genius, a natural born organizer and controller of men. He is a magnet of the highest power and is capable of drawing the noblest of God's creatures about him and directing them in their most proper sphere of usefulness. We dare say his convention alone has raised and spent more money on missions and education, than any other five state in the Union. This educational and missionary zeal in Texas finds its most perfect exponent in Dr. L. L. Campbell. He is tall and polished timber, worthy to adorn any official mansion; would in our judgment make a great president of our National organization. The report of the work done and the money raised in the field of education and missions, made before the convention of which he is the genius and guiding star, a few days ago in Houston, Texas, is one of the most remarkable documents it has ever been our pleasure to examine. In another column we give the figures representing the amount. We only mention those representing
the missionary outlay here, which is $150, $24.29, and this only to stimulate our brethren every where in this the greatest of all orders given by our heavenly Saviour, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel." Success to Dr. L. L. Campbell and his gallant corps of workers and many followers.
BALTIMORE OFFICIALS IGNORE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
Baltimore, Nov. 14.—Despite the decision of the United States Supreme Court abbreating residence segregation laws, there is an element of whites here who believe that a way be found to circumvent the decision. Among those are Mayor Preston and City Solicitor Fields. Fields has announced he will have to study the decision before giving an opinion thereon.
In the meantime, the local segregation law is in force. Sidney Burrell was hauled into the Southwestern Police Court on Wednesday of last week, charged with moving into 1615 W. Lexington street, which segregationists want to construe as being in a white block. The 1600 block of Lexington street is located on the street where Burrell moved into the park which only has white residents. His case was up before the Grand Jury Monday, but the request of Deputy State's Attorney Marchant consideration was postponed until the Court of Appeals decided some cases before it involving the legality of the local law.
Baltimore was the first city to enact a segregation law. The law had to be redrafted several times, however to meet adverse decisions by Maryland courts. Its operation here has resulted in the circumscribing of residence districts among colored people, and a big rise in rents and in properties that the colored people wanted to buy. In well informed legal circles there exists the general opinion that the law invades property and personal rights which have been upheld for centuries under the old English common law. The colored people are highly elated over the decision as the operation of the law has given rise to much prejudice against the race and caused race clamor, that daily newspapers here have only been too glad to foster. The decision means that the attempt to prevent Morgan College from locating in the suburbs and the development of a colored residence section at Gevans, a suburb, will fall.
Baltimore—Gough McDaniels, a teacher in the colored High School, has received a commission as First Lieutenant in the Army, and will leave for Fort Riley, Kansas, this Saturday. He attended the Officers' Training Camp at Des Moines, but left one month before the final closing. He would have received a Captainity, it is said, had he remained there. A large audience turned out at Bethel A. M. E. Church on Thursday evening of last week to hear the pastor, the Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, deliver an interesting lecture on "What a Black man saw in a white man's country." The lecture abounded in interesting sidelights on his visit to the Arctic religions, Europe and the Holy Land. The singing of a solo by Joseph Hamer so thrilled former Congressman James W. Denny that he presented the church a check for $3. The Annapolis District Conference is in session at John Wesley M. E. Church. The R. V. C. G. Cummings is presiding and the Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyen is the entertaining pastor.

When the club members, and their company arrived at the home of Miss Cook on 18th Avenue. North, they were met by five Japanese, who directed them through the house, which had every appearance of an eastern domicile with the Josh-sticks burning and the Jap puffing the incense. The first amusement was a "Mary Ann" rhyme of twenty couples. After this was completed, came a Chrysantemum Game, which was very much enjoyed. The Japs then served each one sandwiches and hot tea, after which Progressive Whist was played the first prize in the Chrysantemum contest, while Mr. Goode won the booby. Miss Eleanor Battle won first prize at whist, while Mr. Goode won the booby.

GALEDA CLASS OF MT. NEBO
BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL.
On Monday evening, November 19, the Galeda Class of Mt. Nebo Baptist Sunday School gave a unique entertainment in the name of "A" at 8 o'clock the train pulled into the depot with Mr. A. D. Thomas, engineer, Mrs. Oscar Frazier porter and Mrs. Henry Thompson, conductor. The first station reached was Oceana, there a tempting menu consisting of lemon jell- jell, whipped cream and cake was abundantly served; from Oceana they travelled to West Indies, where a dainty menu consisting of fruit, punch and individual cakes was served. At 8:45 all aboard left for Alaska, where a menu consisting of salmon salad, crackers, pickle, cake and wrap was served from a beautiful table covered with a fine tablecloth. The whistle blew again. it was announced that the train had reached Iceland, and as the weary travellers filed into the station their weariness was soon put to flight when the sweet strains of music played by Miss Anne Evans filled the air. A delicious course of ice cream and white cake was served by three young ladies beautifully attired in white. Reluctantly all departed to continue the journey. The next time the train began to slow up and the whistle blew again, the train of Africa had been reached. Here the travelers were showered with hot roasted peanuts and various other good eatables.
Leaving Africa, the engineer reversed the train and pulled the entire coach into South America, where all left the train and enjoyed a variety of fruits. Continuing, they reached the Tropics, where another course of fruits consisting of grapes, apples, bananas and loaf cakes was served from two heavily laden tables, the other from the same table, would make only one more stop and that would be our "United States," for the last time the whistle blew and the jolly travelers all boarded the train and departed. At last the "States" were reached, all left the train and found waiting for them a table laden with candies and mints of various kinds. Each partook of its contents until there was no room for more. Reaching the United States at 10:45, all left for their various homes of various kinds. Around the World again very soon.
The class will meet in its regular meeting Monday, December 10, at 7:30 p. m., with Mrs. D. D. Crowder, 701 32nd avenue, N.

SHOW BUSINESS FALLING OFF
Theatrical business, Country-wide suffered a slump last week, which is still felt with no immediate relief in sight. Only the largest attractions such as Ziefeld follies and shows of that class are unaffected or the smaller home playing, two or three acts at 20 cents. Top price. Government war taxes on theaters and necessities in advanced as perhaps the main reasonable donations to the many war funds alike to charity Bond payments are conceded to have their effect. Many theaters have just recently paid their price, due to the increased cost operating, so naturally the public feels the new increase in price due to the ewar tax.

String Beans, the famous comedian of Montgomery, Ala. had his neck-broken while taking a degree in a Masonic lodge in Jacksonville, Fla., week before last Buttler May or String beans as he was better known is well known throughout the country for his ecular style of comedy and while many condemned his style he was popular and drew packed houses most places he appeared, and his passing will take from the colored theatre stage a quaint character and his best box office attraction. He has been a life saver for many a failing theatre. When ever a theatre would begin to fail the cry would go out "send and get Beans," and the elongated boy from Bam would generally pack em.
THE "SMARTER SET."
Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, who head the "Smarter Set," formerly known as the "Southern Smart Set," will clearly demonstrate that there is still no more popular form of the theatrical diversion than good, clean musical comedy of the quality that used to be in vogue when the comedians were singing "Robin Hood." And by way of the same Whitney and Tutt, the seasons co-stars with the famous "Black Pattin." It is but a few years ago, yet all the foo. of rag-tune melodies and generally insipid musical compositions that have been heard on our American stage, since, how long it really does seem since the time that has had good music to enjoy. A crowd has had a welcome this splendid aggregation of comedians, dancers and they apear at the Bijou Theater on November 30th and December 1st.

PROMINENT ODD FELLOW DIES
IN BALTIMORE
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 22—Julius C. Johnson, prominent for years in the councils of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America, died at his home, 1234 Etting street, last Sunday morning following an illness of more than ten months. The deceased was taken ill with plenipotence last winter. Pus collected in his side and business taken to John Hopkins Hospital treatment While relieved somewhat, he never was able to attend to his business as acaterer. The hope was expressed by his host of friends in various parts of the country that he would get well, but his condition steadily grew worse. He began to sink last week, and the end came Sunday morning. The deceased was born in Anne Arndt County, Md., in January, 1856. He lived in Baltimore for years. For eleven years he was headwaker at Ganzner Hotel and later went into the catering business. He was a family man in the truest sense of the word and accumulated some property.
Mr. Johnson joined Humane Lodge of Odd Fellows 36 years ago. He took a deep interest in the order and it was not many years before he was elected Grand Master of Maryland. He had served as a national grand factor, and when the Blennell Movable College met here in 1910 he was elected grand treasurer, succeeding Benjamin J. Davis of Atlanta. He was elected national deputy grand master in 1914 and was filling that office at the time of his death. Popular in Order. During all the strife that has existed since 1912 between the Edward H. Morris and B. J. Davis forces of the Order, he has managed to keep the friendship of both sides. He the trustee ally, however, of the Morris and the Master Edw H. Morris and other prominent members of the fraternity had visited him several times during his illness.
The deceased leaves a widow, who was Miss Lillie V. Matthews. Hiss father, Mr. William Johnson; three sons, John Julius C. Jr., and Goldsborough; four brothers Daniel, Benjamin, Nicholas and John Johnson; and four sisters, Mesdames Margaret Richardson, Cornellia, Ennis, Alrey Hawkins and Rachel Hawward, are among the surviving relatives. The funeral took place at Sharp St. Memorial M E Church, of which the deceased was a prominent member, Wednesday afternoon. For the two
hours preceding the services the remains lay in state. Hundreds of persons filed past he bier and the dead lodgeman. Kev. M. J. Naylor delivered the principal eulogy. Prominent Odd Fellows from various parts of the country were in attendance. Interment was in Mt. Auburn Cemetery.

He leaves a wife, two brothers, a mother, father and two sisters to mourn their loss.
ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY LOSES A LOYAL SON IN THE DEATH OF DR. THOMAS JEFFERSON SEARCY.
By Mack T. Williams
Life in its entirety is peculiarly interwoven. Some say that life is a golden gem handed down from the heavenly Father to parent, transmitted from parent to child. Since in the midst of life there is death, we join the poet who sings—"Ob let the soul her slumber break
"Oh, let the soul her slumber break,
let thou openen and awake;
wake to seas.
Since the flickering dawn of freedom the Negro race men of national proportion have come, men of thought, men of conviction, men with the glorified visions of seers and prophets and men who were constructive workers for God. A glance at the life of Dr. Searcy will reveal the fact that in that brilliant array of men just mentioned, he was in the first rank. Being cognizant of the fact that he was an example of real American manhood, a scholar of no mean ability, a preacher who for many years had the courage to preach the uncompromising gospel, a successful pastor, a friend who was devoted, a Christian gentleman, a loyal husband and a loving father, we can see that through his greatness has not been carved in shimmering brightness on stone, he has easily made for himself a monument in the hearts of those with whom he has come in contact.
While we bow in humble submission to the will of Him who setteth the stars in their course and placed them to music upon the harp of time, we have that subline faith to look beyond the rim of life and feel that while he has crossed that river which divides this fleeting mortality from that slorious infinitude beyond the river, we have been crushed since he entered its portals and that he is now at rest with the Saviour.
Our loss, but heaven's gain.
The coming sacred concert Sunday night. November 25th, given by the university choir of twenty-four voices under the special direction of Mrs. A. M. Townsend is attracting attention. A large crowd is expected.
RESOLUTIONS
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to take from our midst the life of a useful beloved brother and friend in the person of Rev. N. E. McAdoo. Although we feel keenly the loss of this noble character. Remember, we have opportunities, favorable environments, short comings, and disappointments is
our home. Some day it must be over. To those who have kept God's command as this brother has done; will receive a reward. It is not all of life to live, nor of death to die, but God's will must be done and we feel it has been done. His chair will be forever vacant, but that life he lived which is the greatest part of man will be on record here forever. Be it therefore, Resolved, That we hereby attest our appreciation for him in this open way and commend to the membership and others the worthy example of "a life worth while." Be it, Further Resolved, That we not knowing when the time will come; we beed and like our devoted friend and brother be ready whenever God may call. Be it, Further Resolved, That we, the "Drivers Mutual Aid Association" extend to the family our best assistance all times through prayer and service. Be it also
Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent the family, a copy be spread upon our minutes and a copy be sent to the Nashville Globe. Again be it.
Resolved. That we prepare ourselves for the judgement of him that doth not err, and with the poet acknowledge:—
