THE "DOVI RESUME OF BA GLOBE REPORTER INTERVIEWS DR. LEAVE CITY TO VISIT Dr. Boyd passing through the city this morning, en route from Memphis to Florida was met by a Globe re- porter and asked the following ques- tions: "Dr. Boyd, our city is ablaze this morning with the report that the Baptists have several human organi-Memphis and that there seems to be a getting together. The Globe on behalf of its readers is anxious to know the facts in the case. What were the real results of this Memphis meeting?" Dr. Boyd replied: "The Baptists divided at Chicago in Sept., 1915 and separated the two with one faction was led by the Rav. E. P. Jones of Vicksburg, Miss., and the other was led by Dr. E. C. Morris of Helena, Ark. I presume that the readers know enough about the bitterness engendered without me attempting to enlarge upon it." "Dr., what were the real issue or issues?" "There were many and varied controversies among the Negro Baptists for many years. In fact there has grown up two nonest schools of the Negro Baptist form for many and varied controversies. Baptists are as you know a peculiar people and always have been. From the council at Nice held in 325 A.D. to the present time Baptists have been a separate, distinct and peculiar The grand old man who has weathered the story of Baptist fights, and who was one of the collossal figures at the Peace Conference held at Mem- far people in their church polity. They have always held that the Baptist church is a local congregation associated together and that they can not delegate their authority to any man or body of men and that the will of the majority of that congregation is the court of last resort. Baptists have held a love feast inizations. They have councils, conferences, associations and conventions. These are human organizations. In line with the mission, Churches may send messengers to them but such messengers are not delegates and can not be. They can not speak for nor bind the church. All of the Boards of the Convention ars independent within themselves as the church is. They have rights to govern themselves, make laws and regulate their members. All messengers attending these volunteer associations are bound by their integrity to abide by these regulations so long as they are members, in case they become dissatisfied they may withdraw without affecting their membership in the churches or which they are members, and with out affecting the standing of the church in the denomination. "Doctor, that is entering into church polity. What the Globe desires to know is what were the issues between the Baptists that divided them and how do they stand on the question?" Dr. Boyd said, "That is what I have been trying to tell you. I nthis peculiar church government that has been in pogue among Negro Baptists there was an attempt at a kind of cooperation if doing larger church district states the nation and internationally such as the black schools, prosecuting missionary work, both Home and Foreign, preparation of religious literature such as publishing Magazines, books, etc., which could not be done by any one local church. However there has never been and is no where established any rule that might be determined or called a law and no regular law for owning and governing these properties. Starting with the church at Jerusalem, after the Day of Petecost, the apostles finding that the Saviour had laid down no regular law for the ownership of property or pecuniary wealth inaugurated the Board idea. The apostle Peter, when the church at Jerusalem had come into possession of the property of members "Look you out seven men of honest repute full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom we may appointh over this business." From that day till now Baptist churches have handled their properties through Boards. First Deacon Boards, Second Boards of Trustees according to --- NASHVILLE A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY—THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE. laws of the states or countries in which they are located. Later when co-operative work began among Baptist through their council, associations and Conventions they formed societies. The first that we now remember was the British or English Bible Society. Afterwards in America some of the Eastern and Middle States enacted laws incorporating these societies which were known as the American Baptist Missionary Union, American Baptist Home Mission Society and the American Lap-hope Baptist Away Board in the 49s the Southern Baptists pulled out and organized which is known as the Southern Baptist Convention and they inaugurated the Board idea. That is to say they had a Foreign Mission Board and Home Mission Board. Later they organized the Sunday School Board. None of these Boards were incorporated except the two Mission Boards till they began to accumulate property. True they had schools but these schools were always with one exception confined to state or district and not of National character and a number of them were incorporated under Boards and in various ways. Later the Colored Baptists began to form National Organizations. In 1895 the Colored National Baptist Conventions federated into one National body known and styled as the phis, Tenn. For fifty years he has labored with the Baptists, being one of the pioneers in the ranks of his denomination. National Baptist Convention of America but no provisions were made for the handling of property. Their missionary operations were carried on by three unincorporated Boards known as the Foreign Mission Board, the Home Mission Board and the Educational Board. These boards continued their work unincorporated till it was seen that their growth and accumulations of wealth called for a greater need of handling property and that there was greater need for more Boards and that these Boards must have legal sanction or no one would have dealings with them and they could not handle property. The first Board of the Colored Baptists to incorporate was the National Baptist Publishing Board. It was incorporated in 1898 under the laws of the State of Tennessee. In 1900 the Foreign Mission Board was incorporated under the laws of the state of Kentucky. In 1902 the Educational Board was incorporated under the existing laws of the District of Columbia. In 1910 the Baptist Young People's Union Board was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia. These different states differed in providing and control of welfare, property and questions were raised among the Baptists as to the control of these properties. Accordingly there arose three great questions. Denominational ownership, control. This brought on sharp issues. A very large intelligent and respectable school of these Baptists believe in Conventional control of the entire denomination. They believed in authoritative delegateship and centralized governing power lodged in the Convention. This class of people were of the more educated class and continued to press their contention of Convention control till the question was raised of incorporating the Convention and giving it a National charter and that this National charter would take precedence over the charter or the state charters of the Boards, so that all missionary propaganda, both Home and Foreign, home and foreign and all publical enterprises, together with all properties and property rights should be governed by this National charter or this National incorporated enterprise should have full and undisputed control. This question began to be agitated in 1911. It took definite shape in the form of a resolution in 1912 and was finally voted down in 1913. The less educated and less popular churches situated in, the N NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1918. surburbs and rural districts very bitterly opposed the National charter idea, so much so that they were styled "Little R. F. D.'s. In 1915 seven brethren backed up by what they called a commission secured a charter and this charter was brought to Chicago in September, 1915, to be ratified by the Convention. What was known as the "Little R. F. D. fearing that the leaders held off holding classes seeking an ad-hoc force of this charter upon them demanded that the matter be given a hearing on the first day of the meeting. This brought sharp contention among the brethren, hence, dillatory and parliamentary tactics were resorted to and the first pote recorded 340 for the charter idea and 410 opposed to the charter idea. The R. F. D. faction then took the convention in hand, led by R.E. P. Jones and others and the other faction was led by Dr. Morris and others. I need not enter into detail but it will suffice to show that an off-hand holding class returned to the hall, they found the R. F. D.'s already organized and going into business. This so enraged the officials of this class that for two days what should have been a Christian meeting was turned into pand We are giving you the best we have Our wealth, our lives, our all Unselfishly did we come forth In answer to your call.

Boyd had been introduced he spoke entertainingly, and received quite an ovation. The entire management was in the hands of Prof. Fritz Cansler with a committee of about twenty-five of Knoxville's leading citizens, and proved quite an event for East Tennessee, as this was the Congress Secretary, on his visit to the junior school work to this city. A special delegation met him at the station and he was royally entertained during his stay. THE BLACK MAN AND THE LABOR UNIONS. A leading editorial in the March Crisis says: In the present union movement as represented by the American Federation of Labor, there is very small of justice for an Aemrican of Negro descent. Personnally, I have come to this decision reluctantly and in the past have written and spoken little of the closed door of opportunity, shut impudently in the faces of black men by organized white workingmen I realize that by heredity and century-long lack of opportunity one can not expect in the laborer that larger Band. you have— doubt, them side imently the line, est it safe struggled; field fold flag DOUSTON OBSERVER. ville sense of justice and duty which we ought to demand of the privileged proft. Prof. Huff, I have, therefore, inweighled against color discrimination by employers and by the rich and well-to-do; knowing at the same time in silence that it is practically impossible for any colored man or woman to become a boiler maker or book binder, an electrical worker or glass maker, a worker in jewelry or leather, a machinist or metal polisher, a paper maker or piano builder, a plumber or a potter, a printer or a pressman, a telegrapher or a railway trackman, an electrotyper or stove mounter, a textile worker or Mr. ANNUAL THANKSGIVING SERVICE ALL LODGES AND COURTS WILL TAKE PART—PARADE FROM TEMPLE TO SPRUCE STREET BAPTIST CHURCH.

The lodges will meet at nw Pythian building on the corner of Fourth Ave., and Cedar street, at one thirty to form the line of march to the church. The line of march will be hadd by the Uniform Rank under the direction of Brig. Gen. Preston Taylor. Under the supervision of the Marshall of the day the lodges will follow in order of their seniority beginning with Damon lodge No. 2. The line of march will be over Cedar street to Elghth Ave., and from thence to the church. The uniform rank and the lodges are expected to arrive at the church at 2:25. The courts and juveniles will assemble at the church to await the coming of the lodges. Prior to the coming of the uniform rank and the lodges the Melhary Orchestra will render several selections. As the procession enters the Stars and Stripes Forever is to be rendered by the court. Immediately the ceremonies of the lodges and courts will begin under the direction of Sir J. B.

In addition to this a Pythian Service Flag representing members of the order who have answered their country's call for men to defend their country's honor. This Service Flag will represent nearly 400 Pythians from private to commissioned officers. Stars representing Nashville's five commissioned officers will appear a little larger than the rest. Those from the Nashville lodges who have received commissions are as follows: Capt. C. O. Hadley, Damon No. 2, Capt. C. O. Hadley, Stonewall No. 13 First Lieut. H. A. Cameron, Stringer No. 6, First Lieut. J. L. Leach Damon No. 2, and William P. Rose Sergt. of Jurity No. 42. That the Uniform Rank of the order Knights of Pythias has contributed more well drilled men to the U. S. Army than any similar organization is something for which we are justly proud. Trat our order is patriotic as well as progressive, is shown by the large sign placed upon our building on the corner of Fourth Ave., and on the That the Government of these United States approves this action on the part of the Pythians of the jurisdiction of Tennessee is shown by the following letter from the United States Food Administration Department at Washington, D.

It is just such patriotic service as this which must put the Knights of Pythias in the front rank of public spirited citizens. tile layer, a trunk maker, upholster, carpenter, locomotive engineer, stoneman, stone cutter, baker, blacksmith, boot and shoe maker or any of a dozen other important wellpaid, employments, without encountering the open determination and unscrupulous opposition of the whole united labor movement of America.

Those who come early will have the opportunity of enjoying the rendition of several selections by the Mehary orchestra. From all indications the Annual Thanksgiving Sermon of the nKights of Pythias and the Court of Calanthe of Nashville is to be Greater and grander than ever. BAPTIST EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO MEET IN ALEXANDRIA, LA. Alexandria, La., March 12—Dr. Jones, the president of the National Baptist Convention while here had a conference with the leaders of this city. He declared that he had never before seen arrangements that surpassed those in contemplation for the coming Congress. He was greatly elated. He announced that the Executive Committee of the New Baptist Convention would meet here during the coming meeting of the Congress. This meeting is composed of the leadingasters in America and will bring to Alexandria a collection of great minds, the greatest country. Dr. Jones left for Lake Charles and already arrangements have been made for the entertainment of Henry Allen Boyd, the Secretary of the Congress who has consented to visit Pass Christian New Orleans, Lake Charles, Alexandria and Monroe. It is stated that he may spend one day in Vicksburg. BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTERS NUMBER FIVE By Albon L. Holsey. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Some weeks ago, it was announced, that a prize of five ($5,000) dollars would be given for the best and most interesting letter telling of some experience in dealing with Negro merchants. These letters are beginning to come in in large numbers and many of them are highly instructive and enlightening. I wish to quote from one letter: "On entering a store I called for a quarter's worth of cheese. The colored merchant was very hasty in weighing the cheese, therefore not giving me chance to read its weight. I asked to see it weighed again. With his distracted attention he throw it back upon the scales saying: 'do you see it?' With his unpleasant book, I took it notwithstanding his mood of dissatisfaction. Later found another race store where I met with no difficulty. But never. This colored merchant was a real qualified man of high principles. I traded there and received the very best appreciation. I would that all of our race merchants would have pride and respect for people of their own nationality." Contrast that letter with this beautiful tribute from Mr. Daniel Chase of Washington, D. C., which is as follows: "It happened in a small town, not far from this city. The time was the summer of 1915. The store was a general merchandise sales place, and its proprietors were a man just about middle aged, and his young son. The moment you enter this store you feel at home. A pleasant something seems to invade the atmosphere. After a few minutes you find out what that pleasant something is. Mr. Key and his son greet each customer with a salutation, whether they know the customer or not. "I was a stranger to them, but the very manly bearing, and the unusual politeness in his "Good morning, what will you have, please?" enforced Mr. Key to me from then. It is useless to say, that I made purchases far exceeding what I had intended, as I had only a charge a handkerchief, but I made a charge a purchase, and have since then found my way there because courtesy draws customers." The storekeeper referred to in this letter is rightly named for his attitude towards customers is the "key" to success in building business. That is the sort of spirit that the Business League, through the agency of Local Leagues, seeks to install into every business enterprise throughout the country. Is there a Local League in your city?

There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Sebey's Ginande is a highly medicated pomade that has steered the test of time. it is a real scalp feed; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, ginande a natural growth of long hair. Ginande is the invention of an export chemist, it is made under the supervision of an unrestricted pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable principally coconut oil, and is a principally cleaner. Quinasoap lathers very fine hair, the hair soft and stiffy and imparts something feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo.

RELIGIOUS FERVOR ABUNDANT Enthusiasm at the Sunday School Congress unsurpassed—Big Sunday Parade—Workers From all Sections Marching—Sunday School Brass Band—Boy Cadets. There is held in store for the Sunday School Congress workers a veritable religious feast in the 11 o'clock sermon that is to be preached on Sunday. The minister who is to preach the sermon for the Congress this year is a man of the younger school, one young in thought but old in experience as a fervent gospel minister; old in the pastorate and a preacher of ability; and one calculated to stir up the thought and to give the religious fervor for the occasion. MODEL SUNDAY SCHOOL AT CONGRESS Hundreds of well organized Sunday schools that have made enviable records for work accomplished could be improved if some representative of these different schools could spend one session at the Sunday School Congress in a Model Sunday School such as is conducted each year at the Sunday School Congress if they could see how the classes are taught, if they knew how the pupils were managed, if they could come in touch with the teaching forces, if they could hear the inspiring music rendered, if they only knew the amount of mentality that employs the school experts in making the Model Sunday school an occasion for actual observational students of the Sunday school work they would come to Alexandria and become a student or teacher in this Model Sunday School. The entire session is devoted to the helpful instructions and all of the talent that is available at the meetings is put to work. SPECIAL SPEAKERS FOR THE CONGRESS. Oratory will flow as never before at the Sunday School Congress this year. From the opening day, June 12, until the closing, June 17, the workers in the Sunday School will be favored by hearing the best speakers on the literary platform in the United States. These speakers are to appear during the following occasions: On Metoka and Galeda night, a special address is to be made for the benefit of the Metokas and Galedas; on Boy Cadet night, eloquent utterances will be heard in the interest of the boy-man by tending to show what the boy is to our future Hits; on Sunday at 11 o'clock a pubit orator that is to make the Negro Baptists immortal and for which it is noted, will be heard as never before. The minister who is to grace the rostrum on that morning for the Congress sermon will, it is said, redeem the reputation of the younger minister; while the Congress address to be delivered at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday is to be a masterly piece. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS PARADE At 2:30 on Sunday afternoon June 16, the annual Sunday School Congress parade will be pulled off. No feature of this Congress work is looked forward to with more joy and is hailed with greater delight than the coming of this parade. Participants in it go from the smallest Sunday School pupil in the Sunday School department to the most dignified and cultured minister in the pulpit. National and state officials are seen marching with their banners, caps and pennants, and with a usual number with some indications of an increase of Congress officials, national officers, state officials, local workers and a host of Sunday School representatives and workers from throughout the country. There will be two brass bands, which are now designated as the Sunday School Congress bands and is in fact the second regimental band connected with the Congress and Boy Cadet Movement. These bands have made a specialty of playing for this Sunday School Congress parade. There will be the Boy Cadets under the command of Commanding General the Boy Cadet United States with his official staff. The plan is to put about five thousand Sunday School workers in the streets of Alexandria, Sunday afternoon to carry out this religious demonstration. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS MASS MEETING. After the better part of the week has been spent in general sessions and departmental meetings; after Congress has been talked, walked, dreamed, sung, played and planned, then on Sunday afternoon, June 16, a special Sunday School Congress address will be delivered by a speaker of international fame. This occasion is one of the climaxes reached by the Sunday School forces, after a week's work, the like of which is not seen or even heard of during the year. The special address to be delivered this year is calculated to come up to the high standard of those that preceded it. DR. CARY MORGAN DELIVERS ADDRESS About thirty representative citizens of this city, the result of two meetings which finally combined, decided on Wednesday evening that they would meet in the parlor of the Y. M. C. A. to hear an address with plans of further co-operation and activities from Dr. Carey Morgan. There was present a number of those who participated in the great silent parade and demonstration of the capitol. Rev. Dr. Stevens of the Clark's Memorial Church presided and Mr. Sanders, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., acted as secretary. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MARCH 22, 1918. ARMY SCHOOL CONGRESS GONGRESS SONGS. "Hall the Baptist Congress" will be Sung by Thousands. "On, On Metakas and Galedas." "Christian Solikas," with Many Other Will, be. Heen. "On, On Metokas and Galedas" is the title of the Metoka and Galedas song that will be the watchword of these two organized classes in their meeting June 12-17, in connection with the Sunday School Congress. The directors of these two classes with the secretaries and their assistants promise to elevate the Metoka and Galeda class work to such a position that it will be sung throughout the city school, as a form that will keep people in the Sunday School, as a drawing card to the college boy and girl, who hitherto have found the Sunday: School an unattractive place. Special stress will be laid upon the use of the Metoka and Galeda Magazine. The paraphernalia of this department, consisting of the pin, the pennant, the arm-band, the cards the magazine and the spirit of the class will give the Metoka and Galeda representatives an opportunity to demonstrate that they are doing at home. And Galeda night has heretofore been one of the biggest nights at the Congress, and promises this year to be equally as attractive. WILL FEATURE NEGRO MUSIC Negro music will be featured exclusively at the Sunday School Congress, June 12-17, declared the national chorister who conducts the chorus that is expected to total six hundred voices. It is their plan to sing the songs written, arranged, set to music and printed exclusively by Negroes. Whether these songs be the short and common meters; whether they are plantation or jubilee melodies or whether they are classics when the time comes for the Congress curtain to rise, the chorister is expected to have whipped into form one of the greatest aggregations of singers that has ever been prepared for a national gathering. Their rendition of "Zekiel the Wheel" has captivated them. The manner in which this wheel has rolled and the chorister's unique way of impressing it upon the singers has already stamped him indelibly upon the minds of the people as a master mind in training and musical singers. It was announced that there would be an orchestra assisting the choir, with a piano and pipe organ. When the Congress opens it is claimed the chorus will be divided in the various subdivisions during the afternoon of each day in order that each departmental meeting might have special music. This with the addition of two bands already secured, is claimed by the Congress secretary to be an advance not yet enjoyed by the Sunday School workers at these annual gatherings. It was said that the city will be given an opportunity to see just what progress has been made along this particular line when the pre-Sunday School Congress Literary and Musical Concert is presented, the public will be given an opportunity to hear what Alexandra really has in mind of local talent, and to see how they have been rounded into form in so short a time. The selections will vary from the hymn lined out to the most difficult anthem that has ever been rendered in Alexandria. There will be a brass band, with an orchestra to give selections. There will be solos, duets, quartets, double quartets and congregational singing. The music at the Congress this year, according to the best information obtained, will eclipse anything that has been put on. DEPARTMENTS OF THE CONGRESS Every Phase of Sunday School Work Will be Given Special Attention Through Departmental Meetings Each Afternoon. Every worker in the Sunday School who attends the Sunday School Congress at Alexandria, in 12:17, will find in addition to the general where all enjoy the papers and the work, a department of his or her she BIRD'E EYE VIEW, NATIONAL BAPTIST PUBLISHING BOARD.

If you teach the Intermediate or Primary classes at your home, you will naturally want to spend your afternoons in this particular department. If you are advanced teachers, the natural tendency would be to come in touch with the advanced teachers from other schools. Whether you be engaged in teaching, you might be Boy Cadet, Sunday School Missionary or any other Sunday School work, you will find at the Congress that after the general sessions have adjourned for noon from 2:30 until 6:30 in the afternoon, there will be some department in session where you will have an opportunity not only to gather inspiration, but to throw off that pent-pent energy that you have been accumulating all the year and where you yourself may demonstrate the many help you have perhaps brought about in involved practice in your school. Gift others the benefit of your experience that at the same time be benefited by the experience others will give, by attending the departmental meetings. CONGRESS BRASS BANDS. There was a time when it was almost impossible to have the right kind of music in sufficient volume to do justice to the Sunday School Congress at a national movement. This problem, however, was solved when the Sunday School Congress movement succeeded in making permanent and a part of the national gatherings two brass bands, one of ten pieces and one of fourteen pieces. These bands are uniformed and especially well qualified as musicians to play practically every song that will be sung at the Congress. They have been for the past three years a part of the great force that created the Bob Impton in a multitude of these sacred songs through their sessions and that have been conspicuous in the mammoth street parade on Sunday afternoon. Hear the Congress brass bands at the Sunday School Congress. B. Y. P. U. DEPARTMENT AT CONGRESS A longfelt want was supplied when it was announced that the B. Y. P. U. Societies would have a department in the coming Congress. B. Y. P. U. organizations throughout the United States who send representatives to the Alexandria session of the Congress will have the advantage of all the instructions in the B. Y. P. U. work that can be given out by practical experts and B. Y. P. U. workers. Every department of the B. Y. P. U. will be carefully gone into. The Christian Culture Course, the Reading Course, the devotions, the literature, the missionary feature, in fact B. Y. P. U.'s as they ought to be conducted will be demonstrated. SOCIOLLOGICAL AND INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. The newest department in the Congress work is that of the Sociological and Applied Industrial Education. While the theme has not been new the department this year under this head will be under the direction of trained college professors who have made a practical study in this particular line of intellectual uplift. At the session of the Congress in Wiesburg, the addresses that were delivered along with the lectures and discussions on the subjects listed stirred the meeting beyond expectation. Addresses were made, subjects discussed and ideas brought out on sociology that were instructive from the very beginning and which heaped materially every attendant at the meeting. SINGING ORGANIZATIONS AT THE CONGRESS A Chorus of 600 Voices to Furnish Music at the Congress. Texas Quartette and Shreveport Singing Club. Supporting the regular musical feature of the Sunday School Congress will be several independent singing organizations. Notice has been given to the secretary of the Sunday School Congress that a Glee Club of about eighteen members from Shreveport, La., would grace the Congress with its presence this year. Then there is to be a special quartet out of Texas, coming from Houston, that is making a specialty of Sunday/School Congress work. In addition to this the Juvenile Congress Choir will make its initial appearance. Thus the singing this year will excel any attempt of former years. TEXAS QUARTET COMING TO ALEXANDRIA Another singing club has notified the Sunday School Congress Secretary that it was their purpose to attend the Sunday School Congress and to serve in every possible way. Prof. G. W. Williams of Houston, Tex., with H. C. Hickey, T. H. Simpson and H. M. McCoy, has joined. They clare this quartet has prepared itself to render service by singing the very best religious song—songs found in the ORIGIN OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS. MEMORIES Of Fifty Years Recalled. THE appearance of the National Jubilee holidays a new song book containing all the old jubilee and installation songs to muse it, is creating the widest hit of comment in every section of the United States. This is attested to by b hundred of letters that it have been received since the song book appeared and since it as successfully used throughout the session of the great National Ba that convent in which just closed its meilg meilg. A sample of what the people say will be of interest. "I have examined the National Jubilee Melodies and found some old treasures that I can still use with me, with a fragment of the time and we see that I have been carried in my brain and memory since last year. The first time I have ever seen them in printer set to musk. The little linear colour grammatically speaking that one thinks he finds in the boo are but a g uinidence of its originality. We do not wow but have the other, as this will rob the work of its identity, and it is my desire to get a work as near as possible spoken in the peculiar manner of the old time sent-ebel man and women that叫 the foundation for our race in which we are building beautifully. I think that their peculiar style should be preserved and we have done our work." The price of the National Ju Ju Melodies song book with all of these old time songs, is 30c per copy by ail, postage paid, or $360 per dozen, express charges not paid. Send 30c for a sample copy and see for the first time in your life the songs of our ler carcurs set to musi The National Baptist Publishing Board 324 Second Ave., North Nashville, Tennessee books published by the National Baptist Publishing Board. In addition to the quartet there will be a club from Shreveport consisting of eighteen members and the Alexandria organization made up of workers from the various Sunday schools there. This will be three singing organizations which will augment the chorus of two hundred voices, which chorus will be made up entirely of Alexandria singers under leadership of Prof. Johnson, the Sunday School Congress chorus director from Nashville, Tenn. EXHIBITS OF SUNDAY SCHOOL LITERATURE AND PARAPHER LITERATURE Helps on Sunday School work of every description whether it be literature, models, maps, charts, banners, buttons, pins or anything along that line will be shown and demonstrated at the Sunday School Congress. A special department known as the De ORIGIN OF THE SCHOOL Some Facts About the Sunday School Congress—Thirteenth Annual Session meets in Alexandria, La. June 12-17.

Visit the department of Exhibits and Paraphernalia while at the Congress. WHEN AND WHERE THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS HAS MET. Thirteen years ago in June the first session of the Sunday School Congress was held. When the announcement went forth that the movement had been launched for the benefit of the Sunday school forces and the B. Y. P. U. workers. It was hailed with joy and d'ight. Strong editorials by the leading denominational editors appeared in papers throughout the country. Secular journals declared it was beyond measure the proper time and that the meeting was calculated to do what no other had done. It would, in other words, be the little leave in the loaf. So in June 1966, the movement was launched at Nashville, Tenn. In 1907 it met in New Orleans, in 1908 in Jacksonville, Fla.; in 1910 at Nashville, Tenn.; in 1910, Atlanta, Ga.; 1911, Meridian, Miss.; 1912, Tuskegee, Al.; 1913, Muskegue, Okla.; 1914, Beaumont, Tex.; in 1915, Birmingham, Al.; in 1916, Vicksburg, Miss.; 1917, in Nashville, Tenn. This year in Alexandria, La. BOY CADETS AT THE CONGRESS. Commanding-General W. H. Crawford of the National A. F. Cadet Movement and his general staff have issued a general order for the Fifth Annual Encampment of the National A. F. Cadets to be held at Alexandria, La., in connection with the thirteenth annual session of the Sunday School Congress, June 12-17. Representatives of the Boy Cadet movement in every section of the United States are expected to be in attendance. Some Sunday Schools will send an entire company Perhaps several battalion bands will be in attendance. Boys in uniform will be seen each day and the spirited military discipline under religious influence will be injected into them as never before. Nothing has proven so beneficial to the forward Sunday School movement as the Boy Cadet movement, which is a part of the Sunday School Congress. Each Sunday School may have as many companies as they feel able to support. A book of tactics with the bugle calls and other information can be obtained from the National Baptist Publishing Board. In fact, how to organize a company of Cadets is told in a very simple way in this book, which sells for ten cents. CRADEL ROLL AND INFANT DEPARTMENT AT CONGRESS. "Where are the children and what are they doing?" is a problem that this department is taking up, taking the child as soon as it is given a name and keeping up with that child until it is able to be turned over to primary department of the Sunday School. The work of the Cradle Roll and Infant Department, while new to some of the Baptist schools, has become so important that special superintendents of this work have been designated in many schools. At the Congress this year one competent, one well trained, assisted by those who have had actual experience will tell how to conduct the Cradle Roll and Infant Department in the various schools.

Believing this to be true, I shall endeavor to give you a few notes. The boys and girls are showing a deal of interest in their lessons. We are putting forth our best efforts to do our work as pupils realizing the fact that there is no reward without labor, hence we are working hard for a future reward. We enter school every morning at 8 o'clock and there remain till 1:30 and 2 p. m., having a recess of 2 minutes at eavenen am. I am a pupil of the 6-A Grade and I am trying to hard to make my grade at the end of this term. The following is the order in which our studies come daily: Every morning before recess we have reading, spelling and language. After recess we have geography and arithmetic. Every Monday we have a period for music, which is taught by Miss M. H. Stevens. Miss E. L. Foster teaches writing and Prof. J. C. Haynes teaches drawing. Many visitors drop in from time to time. We are always glad to see them. Dr. C. V. Roman was with us again last week and called for the boys and girls who were absent when he was here last. Prof J. J. Keys, Supt. was also here a few minutes last week and announced the mass meeting for school children March 17, at the Bijou Theatre.

ADVERTISING RISING FURTHER UPON APPLICATION Nashville, Tenn., Mar. 22, '18 TAKING DUTCH SHIPS. The decision of America and Great Britain to take over harbor bound Dutch shipping, with compensation to the owners is merely the playing of a trump in the diplomatic game that has been going on and that all the parties concerned have known to be going on for months. Only recently Germany played her high card, which was nothing more nor less than a threat. All the so called wave of hostility toward the Scandinavian countries and Holland that has appeared in the German press was inspired with the object of frightening those countries from making necessary economic deals with the western alliance. It was a manufactured wave, just as all the other similar waves that develop in Germany are manufactured. Holland knew it. The Scandinavian countries knew it. It was that, indeed, that made it the more disturbing. The small European neutrals know only too well that Germany is ready on any pretext to take any measure, no matter how indefensible, if she feels it to her immediate interest to do it. And the plight of those neutrals, particularly Holland and Denmark, is pitiable. They must have food, and only the allies can give them that in quantity. They are determined not to jeopardize unnecessarily their neutrality, which means their national existence. And Germany is in a position to ride rough shod over that. The small neutrals, and especially Holland and Denmark, are between a blond and bloody devil and a very blue sea. The reasons of America and Great Britain for putting Dutch ships to work need neither defense nor, it would seem, explanation. All will be done with jealous regard for international law and the ultimate interests of Holland. It is quite possible, as Washington hints, that The Hague is not unwilling to be compelled to turn over her ships, since the fact of compulsion deprives Germany of any pretext for reprisals. A million tons of shipping will come in handy just now for the allies, and it is not likely that Potsdam will attempt to make good her threats against Holland. Potsdam was bluffing, as events probably will prove. Germany still has need of Holland. She hardly yet can feel secure enough to seize Rotterdam. Much as that appeals to the cupidity of her commercial and junker interests. The effects of it in Denmark, the Scandinavain peninsula and Switzerland would not be easily discounted. Having lost this round Germany will make the best of it. And surely she never can have been so simple as to suppose the allies could be thwarted permanently by the policy that she adopted. CONGRESS ENTERS THE WAR. By abandoning it spoilage of all-sufficient secretiveness not only with regard to the facts of the war but also with regard to the methods of dealing with them, the administration has taken a step both patriotically and politically expedient. In the first place, now that congressmen have been taken into the war government's confidence and, indeed, made at least a tiny part of the war government, there will be an end of the natural resentment and temptation in congress to look askance on the government's proposals. An instance of that congressional disposition, quite defensible under the circumstances, was the hostility shown at first blush to the government's request for legislation transferring title to the German owned shipping terminals. As soon as it was made clear why that legislation was asked, every atom of opposition died down. It would not have arisen in the first place if con- gress had known what the government was about. The president will be greatly benefited, though he has heretofore shown no great enthusiasm to receive the benefit, by conference between the war council and leading congressmen. It is assumed that, at least indirectly, he will at least be confronted from time to time with views contrary to his own. It is quite certain he rarely hears them from any of his present close "advierese." It does not follow that the president's view will be or need be subordinated. But a brushing up against dissimilar opinions is bound to do good. From the political standpoint, which it is very certain the administration did not overlook, hostile criticism of governmental mistakes will be large forestalled by making the potential critics both conversant with policies and in some degree committed to them. Once again it might be noticed that Admiral Jellicoe merely said that the subs will be beaten before August. August comes once every twelve months. The quickest way to get a torpedo test of that unsinkable ship would be to paint large red crosses on each side. Spring fever is no indication of the coming of the balmy months. Spring fever may be a mere nom de plume. Men who are stunned do not usually move with any great agility. Yet the Germans continue to retreat with great agility after being stunned. The irreducible minimum in wheat flour substitutes has not yet been reached. We have no onion flour. The colonel will bear cheerfully with his blindness and his deafness, so long as no vital part is affected, such as the heart of larynx. In New Jersey and Maryland the law requires all men to work a reasonable number of hours a day. Living conditions in those states will therefore become much more tolerable for the man who has been accustomed to put in twenty-four hours of the most arduous scheming to avoid real work. After a season of agony with the dentist, the ordinary person is inclined to wonder on whose part the presence of wisdom teeth indicates wisdom. It can readily be understood how vaudeville impersonators of Roosevelt can get away with the blind eye, but now about the deaf ear? Capt. Archibald Roosevelt has been wounded in action, thereby proving there is something in a last name and nothing in a first. Perchance the little affair between the committee on public information and the war department has a moral. It appears that fool decisions can be reached with Secretary Baker away as well as with him on the job. Thank heaven there is no likelihood of any inventive woman turning out an automatic rolling pin. "Stork wins race; twins born on train," says a newspaper headline. Who lost? It has been announced that Secretary Baker's visit to France will bring about a number of interesting disclosures. Has the secretary taken up Greek interpretive dancing? In other words, M. Lenine is an easy Marxian socialist. The resentment of the Germans at being called barbarians brings to mind the old favorite vaudville line, "I'm just as honest as you are, you thief." It sometimes seems questionable whether it would not work better to tell the enemy everything and let our own people know it, too. The enemy, being the enemy, wouldn't believe us anyhow, and the censors, having nothing to do, could make no mistakes. Positively no. The eloquent and poetic advice to keep the home fires burning was never intended for the hell fire gang. Eggs at 30 cents a dozen make about the cheapest food that Nashvillians have had for the past two years; and also about the best. People who can't touch steaks and bacon at present prices can get along very nicely on ham and eggs without the ham. Those war thrift stamps are small affairs, but none the less important. Save a little and invest the saving—that is the plan. It will help you and help the government win the war It is admitted in Washington that Baker's actions in France will be closely watched. It also is possible that a one-eyed man who can hear with only one ear will be watching as closely as his limited facilities permit. There is a French frontier and a German frontier to Switzerland. Switzerland is at peace with both --- NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MARCH 22, 1918. France and Germany, and neither power has any grievance against her. Now which side do you suppose Switzerland has the most regiments on? Bacon is a term applied to strips of meat from the ungulata artiodactyla suldae, treated or "cured" by a smoking process, and used prior to 1917 by many American families as food. Col Roosevelt may be blind in one eye and deaf in one ear, but he still has a lot of punch left. It won't be safe to tease him too much. Good morning, have you bought your thrift stamp? The sweet young graduate is not far distant. While in Evansville last week, we were the unwilling guest of a chinch convention. Their entertainment of us was surely felt. The stage lost one of its brightest stars when Wm. Goff Kennedy died. He was born in Columbia, Tenn. There will be no peach cobblers this year. Peaches all killed by the cold winter weather. Oh, gloom! But, the pork sallet crop will be tremendous and glorious, Oh, Joy. There will be an abundant crop of sweet annie at Hadley Park this summer. In your zeal for other things, don't forget that Nashville needs a more centrally located grammar school for the Negro. Notwithstanding all the ills that the Negro is up against, buy a thrift stamp and help win the war. Do it now. A good dish of mustard greens and corn bread flanked by a half gallon of butter milk, now aint this heavenly? Old Sport is in the meadow chasing the old dung'hill rooster. Easter will soon be here, and we hope to have our last years stwar hat bleached in time. WHEN I SHALL MEET HIM FACE TO FACE. One thing I know, and this is true, I'm going to bid you all adieu. Across the sea I'm going to sail; Somewhere in France please send my mail. I'll not be gone no long, long time; Remember now, bear that in mind. I wonder what the Kaiser'll say. When'er he hears I've come his way? He'll think his time has come "by heck." He'll very soon cash out his check. He needn't "pologize to me" "Bout sending ships down in the sea. He can tell all that to Uncle Sam; For in his mouth my fist I'll ram. I'll sure bring honor to the colored race. When I shall meet him face to face. on't want no gun at all about. Just want to know the Kaiser's route. And after I've found out that much Just where he goes, I'll keep in touch. And sometimes when he's off his Right in his presence at his feet, I'll grab him; try his neck to break; If ever I meet him face to face. He will no more reign on earth supreme To teach his nation to be so mean; Taking human life without a cause They never stop, they never pause. But when I've finished with my man, I'll then report him to Uncle Sam. I'll tell him how I won the case, And how I met him face to face. —By Rosa Murphy McConnell, Wartrace, Tenn, March 6, 1918. Dedicated to my friend, Eddie Jones, "Somewhere in France." MRS. CANDIS SANFORD DEAD. Mrs. Candis Sanford died Friday evening March 15th, at 7:15 o'clock at her residence 502 Fifth Avenue, S., after an illness of seven weeks. She was a member of the Queen Eather Court for twenty-five years. She was a member of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church for twenty-seven years and lived a consistent Christian life, and was held in high esteem by all who knew her. To know her was to love her. Her funeral was neid at the Spruce Street Baptist Church Monday afternoon, and was attended by Revs. Z. W. Hill, Looper and W. M. Lee. She was survived by two daughters: the Della Hawkins of New York and Mrs. Johnne Packs, two grandchild dren and a host of friends. A SHORT, BEAUTIFUL LIFE ENDED. Smyrna, Tenn, Mar. 1 Smyrna, Tenn., Mar 19, 1918. The death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jordan aBtey of R. No. 2, Smyrna, Tenn., (Rocky Fork) Monday night, March 11, 1918, and took their little daughter, Ella Geneva, who was nine years, three months, seven days old. Ella Geneva was a dear little girl, obedient both at home and at school. When able to be up she was always on hand to help mother or auntie Sue when they had work to do. We had the pleasure of being her teacher for a part of two terms and can say that she was one of the most industrious pupils. After she was unable to attend school she kept her studies as long as she was able to be out of bed. She loved the good and beautiful and expressed her desire to unite with the church. We miss her; we loved her so much but we can only bow our heads in humble submission to His will. We know she is now safe in the arms of Jesus. Her funeral was largely attended, Rev. W. S. Ellington of Nashville and Rev. W. P. Hall of Franklin officiated. Their text was, "Thy dhunter is not dead but sleepeth." No only the bereft but all who heard. "MADE IN NASHVILLE" HOW ABOUT IT?

City Chamberlain Alfred Johnson yesterday received a letter from Public Service Commissioner William Haywood, now a Colonel at the head of the 15th (Negro) Infantry. It shows that the band of that organization has made an immense hit in France. The band consists of picked musicians from this country, Porto Rico and Cuba. Daniel G. Reid, the financier donated $10,000, so that the Negro regiment could have a real band at its head. Leaded by Lieutenant Europe, who used to conduct the orchestra on the 44th street roof, the men, according to Colonel Hayward, have proven of inestimable value. "Best in France." Part of the Colonel's letter to the Chamberlain congratulates the city on having such a man for the position. The rest of the letter was as follows: "My outfit going good, best outfit in France out of all three armies. Hard work but no kick. "A lot of things are no fun and one year ago I would have thought them unendurable. Now, they are mere discomforts. But what hear then we will be when it is all over. I shall not know how to act in polite society or what to do with the ordinary paraphernalia of civilization. "Still nobody has any kick and all hands are so pleased to think they weren't at home out of this beautiful party that optimism reigns supreme. "Of course, we know absolutely nothing about the war or how it's going except in our own little neck of the woods and don't care. "Band Cheese All. "Al, our band is the most wonderful thing on here. I don't believe any money ever bought as much pleasure and happiness for human beings as did Daniel G. Reid's in this instance. "If Mr. Ried could see the tired, exhausted men straighten up, shift packs a little higher and step like school kids when they play, or see the thin, wan faces, out of hospital windows to catch every note of melodious cheer, of Southern ernmody of the sextette from Lucas, would be pleased with investment. "Here's to you, with every good wish for a happy and successful administration of your important post of duty. I know now what everybody will know. i. e., you'll make good. Howard S.

HEROIC WOMEN OF FRANCE. My words are not powerful enough to do even scanty justice to the most heroic figure in the modern world, and of ages past—the woman of France. (Of the healthy men who are engaged in the military service in France, practically all are engaged either in transportation or in the manufacture of munitions, leaving the agriculture absolutely to the women. Not only this, but they have stepped into the place of work animals; you can go into any section of France to day and encounter of magnificent, noble womanhood hitched to the plow and cultivating the soil. All of the agriculture rests upon their shoulders. The home, always an extremely efficient home, maintains a few old men, the wounded, and the tubercular. Uncomplaining, with high de votion with an attitude that amounts almost to religious exaltation, to woman of France bears the burden. Now, conditions being as they do it lie within the heart of American people to preserve and to every convenience of our life, the expense of adding an addition burden to the womanhood of France.

Before the war the Methodists, by their meanness, drove a half million of their Negro members out into the wilderness, where they set up their own temples. They depended and remorseful, the church to prove its opportunity, damned slavery, to披出 the slave owners, and welcomed the slaves, even as their Master would have done. Today, the dry rot of power and numbers and prestige has seized them. In the name of Christian "unity," Bishops and powerful laymen and strong periodicals are determined to kick 200,000 Negroes out of the church. Every other obstacle to union with the South is settled. Yet the secret conferences proceed. The oilest of the church's hypocrites, led by Zion's Herald, are urging the black "brethren" to "withdraw" before they are thrown out, and offering them thirty pieces of silver in the guise of church property and bishops' robes for their leaders. That body of death, the Methodist Church South, is stretching its lean and blood-stained hands for its pound of black flesh. Goal! for one modern Sermon to the Pharisees for these "Christians!"

Morton comes from a family who had their training or received his training at the hands of parents who instilled in him the principle of studying to improve his mind so that when he comes before the public he can preach the gospel with such power that he lifts as he climbs up the rugged road of time. O ye gossipers, where were you, somewhere discussing the other fellows business, and before you see your ruin condition death will have spread you a couch, and weave you a shroud and you will be going down to sleep in a grave unpept, unhonored and unsaved.

Mrs. G. L. Jackson, the conference president gave brief yet helpful and encouraging re The auditorium of this school is beginning to echo and reecho with words of eloquence, incident to the fifth annual debate, which will be held in this school on Friday night, April 12th at 8 o'clock. The subject, Resolved, That Foreign Immigration to the United States should be further restricted by an Educational test, is a very perilent one at this time. From all indications, this promises to be the content of the held by the pupils of this school. Interest is very high. The colors of the Pearl High School, which were adopted twenty years ago, are Cherry and white. The students have already divided themselves into two parts, according to their belief as to which side will win. The affirmative side of the question will be defended by Misses Tiny Clendening, Mattie Moore and Mable McGavock. These speakers and their adherents will wear the white color of the school. The Negative side of the proposition will be maintained by Messrs Frank Jones, Wm. Stringer and James Hall, and their followers will wear the red. These debaters have spent considerable time in research on this question, have consulted with their friends, have visited the Negro Public library, and have brought their argument down to a fine finish. They claim to have an arreable surplus in store for the public on the night of the debate. The Rebuttal arguments have been eliminated and instead two additional main speaches have been added. Miss Elinor Bryant, the Valedictorian of the class of 1918 has chosen as the subject of her valedictory "Democracy." Richard Harris, the Salutatorian will speak on the subject "The Irrepressible Conflict." These two students are known for high scholar ship during their career in the high school and no doubt will be able to produce such compositions as will interest and please the public. The rostrum of the auditorium now contains a beautiful oak lectern, the gift of Dr. R. H. Boyd, to the High School. Dr. Boyd has won the gratitude of the entire student body by the gift of its ornamental and useful piece of furniture. His attitude toward the high school has always been one of helpful co-operation and he has ever stood ready to assist the pupils and graduates, whenever called upon. The school was honored Wednesday, March 13th by the presence of Supt. J. J. Keys of the city school and Miss Helman of Fisk University. Prof. Keys addressed the school on the subject of Thrift Stamps and War Saving Certificates, making an urgent appeal to the school children to buy them. He called especial attention to the great mass meeting of colored school children at the Bijou Treatre this afternoon at 3 p. m. A committee from the Board of Education, consisting of Mr. Leland Hume, Chairman of the Executive Committee, Prof. J. J. Keyes, Superintendent of Schools and Mr. H. S. Van Deren, Business manager, visited the school on Tuesday, March 12th. The object of the visit was to note any deficiencies in the erection of the new building and to remedy those deficiencies. Dr. F. G. Smith, the principal, had already made a memorandum of such things as he thought needed attention and submitted this to the Committee. He acceded to the school and pointed out in detail such defects and omissions that should receive prompt attention. The Committee also inspected the old Knowles School building. The High School Voice, the school paper under the editorship of Mr. George Gore seems to improve with each issue. Goore seems to have some natural talent for newspaper work, besides he gained considerable experience while working for the Nashville Globe. A fine school spirit exists at Pearl High this year and great credit is due the High School Voice as a molder of sentiment. This issue is full of interesting news items on educational subjects, the editorial are thoughtful, and the jokes witty. PEARL HIGH ALUMNI ASSOCIA TION'S STATEMENT.

ALL GO LIBERTY NASHVILLE, . . . FROM NATIONAL RIVERS AND HARBORS CONGRESS, WASHINGTON, D. C. (For release Saturday, March 23.) "Three hundred and seventy-six million—count them, 376,000,000 tons of freight were handled on the waterways of the United States in 1916. That is enough to fill 9,400,000 average 40-ton freight cars, or about four times as many cars as our railroads own today. That," says a statement issued by the Rivers and Harbors Congress, "shows that the waterways are still of some service even after fifty years of cut-throat competition by the railroads. "For the past eighteen months the traffic history of this country has been one continuous succession of delays, congestion, embargoes and car shortage. On May the 1 and again on November 1 last year shipers asked for more than 165,000 cars which could not be supplied. Then came a winter of extraordinary severity and a coal shortage which amounted to a national disaster. "In a table prepared for Secretary McAdoo by Mr. W. P. Manse, Industrial Agent of the B. and O. Railroad, it is estimated that in eighteen of the principal manufacturing cities of the country the losses resulting from Dr. Garfield's celebrated order amounted in workmen's wages and manufacturers products to $4,344,070,000. The total losses since the car shortage begas in September, 1915, are probably not less than $8,000,000, and may be as much as $10,000,000. "Bad as was this huge financial loss, the sickness, suffering and death due to lack of coal—which was due to lack of cars—were vastly worse. Worst of all was the delay in shipment of supplies and munitions which were urgently needed by our Army and Navy at the front and by those whom we fight to make the world safe for humanity. time no less than 213 ships, loaded and ready to sail, were held in New York for lack of bunker coal. We have hundreds of harbors and 28,000 miles of waterways classed as navigable, of which less than 2,000 miles have been sufficiently improved to have dependable channels. One-tenth of the amount lost by the people of the United States during the last eighteen months would have been more than enough to thoroughly improve every mile of our navigable waterways—and if that had been done, and we had been wise enough to foster and develop water transportation, instead of allowing it to be crushed by railway competition, there would have been no car shortage, no coal shortage, no staggering financial loss, no peril to our armies and our cause through delays to ships, and many homes would still be bright which today are full of sorrow. "The Rivers and Harbors bill which provides for the maintenance and improvement of our waterways and harbors is of interest to every citizen of the United tates, to those who live upon the prairies or among the mountains no less than to those who live by ocean, lake or river. Every thousand or million, or million, or hundred million tons of freight sent by water leaves freight cars free to serve those whom the waterways cannot reach.

C. Wiles, who lives at $8 Murray street, South Nashville, Tenn. in her statement given several days ago. "I really became alarmed over my condition, for I had tried all sorts of remedies but they did not help me at all. I finally tried Lung-Vita and to my prise the cough stopped and I am feeling well. I know that Lung-Vita is the best medicine for a cough made and would not be without it in my house." For coughs or colds that other remedies have failed to relieve, you should try Lung-vita. It will not disappoint you. Lung-Vita is sold by druggists and dealers. (Adv.) PATRIOTIC PARADE TUESDAY EVENING. Many Hundreds Heard Judge Harrisons Address at Stanton School. AFrom Florida Metropolis, Jacksonville, Florida. Right on the hour did the monster parade started last Tuesday night from Castle Hall, corner of Broad and Union streets, headed by a detachment of police officers, the Welcome Cornet Band and a long and orderly column of Pythian Knights in uniform, under command of Col. Chas, Tibbs and staff, Col. Chas WHams, Capt. W. J. Cromate, Maj. T. C. LeGare, Maj. J. A. Monroe of the Cadet Corps and numerous officials. Automobiles conveying Brigadier W. W. Amrews, Col. S. S. Campbell Prof. Geo. H. Mays, Capt. J. W. Floyd Col. D. W. Perkins, Col. S. S. Campbell Gill, Dr. and Mrs. R. L. Brown and others. Down Broad street was the line of march, to Adams; east on Adams to Ocean; north on Ocean to Ashley; west on Ashley to Stanton school, where the speaking took place. The intention to have the speaking at Springfield Park was changed. All along the line people lined up on both sides of the street and looked on as column of marchers passed, and at times applause was given, and many patriotic ones saluted the flag. General Andrews had every cause to feel proud of his men, both for their prompt response to the call and their excellent appearance. On arriving at the school, the throng of people covered the campus, and the audition already full. P.R. M. Sampson and Dr. J. A. Gregg had seats reserved for the Pythian order, and the delegation of prominent white citizens, composed of Geo. R. DeSaussure, W. P. Coachman, A. G. Cummer, Generel Lovell and about twenty others were given seats on the rostrum. Judge William Harrison of Okla. homa, government representative for War Savings Stamps, arrived later, escorted by Pythian officials, headed by Col. Chas. Williams, and as they came down the aisle, the audience applauded. B. C. Vanderhorst called order and requested Dr. J. A. Gregg to preside. With Prof. J. N. Wilson at the piano, all stood up and sang "America," and prayer was offered by the Rev. J. Gardner Ross. Dr. Gregg most interestingly spoke of the occasion, which was a boo in the sale of "Baby Bonds" known as War Savings Stamps. His introductory of the speaker was in itself a feature most acceptable. He was loudly applauded. Judge Harrison was the speaker of the judge, and on being introduced he received great applause. He paid a rich tribute to Jacksonville and expressed pleasure in being in the city for the second time. Taking special notice of the white citizens on the platform, he stated his mission to encourage and inspire the city in these times most trying. He readily declared that his race needed no admonitions as to loyalty and patriotism, and gave abundant historic references to prove that fact. It was on this score that the speaker grew wonderfully eloquent. The present crucial times the speaker likened to a huge acid test, in which all are being tried. His enunciation of the fact that he and his people are American citizens came with Pauline boldness, and in making this claim he also pointed to the great and high duties arising therefrom. Personal decorum, self-respect, real worth, were points nailed home with, convincing effect, and from time to time, with a relieving anecdote, or some rich citation from history, modern or ancient, the speaker all the time held his big audience in his grasp and wrung from them volleys of applause. The doctrine and practice of saving was taken up in a manner most effective. The heritages of slavery were cited, and their damaging effects pointed out. The royalty of an humble private citizen holding a mortgage against the United States was explained. The exhortation to save and the accruing advantages came with all force. The folly of boasting in and putting trust in worldly possessions was dealt a withering blow, leading up to a climax in the address which proclaimed the reign of the right. Judge Harrison declared that the great war is one for humanity, and spoke his pride of the fact that his race, the ram in the bush, is the ready sacrifice to relieve Isaac Judge Harrison is a model speaker. His presence is commanding, his manner energetic and forceful, and his diction pure. The applause that followed his address was richly merited, and fervently was his hand shaken by hundreds afterwards. Chas. H. Anderson had charge of the sales of war stamps, and he called to his assistance W. H. Lee, Mrs. I. J. Williams and Mrs. L. L. Pratt, and like the proverbial hot cakes, stamp books were sold, many paying the full $5 at once. A beautiful feature in the stamp sale was the kindness of gentlemen on the rostrum who presented from two to four stamp books to boys and girls of the school, and to boys of the Pythian Cadet Corps. About 500 stamp books were sold "this meeting last night, and as this was the real object of the occasion the proper response. This means that over $2,000 worth of war bonds were placed at this meeting. At the Richmond Hotel, a number of men, headed by B. C. Vanderhorst, gave a banquet in honor of Judge Harrison, Mrs. Kirkpatrick, the obliquing proprietor, doing the catering. There were covers for about twenty. There were happy responses to the following toasts: "Our Guest," by Prof. Geo. H. Mays; "Richmond," by Prof. J. Biodgett; "After the War, What?" Attorney D. W. Perkins; "Uniform Rank of Knights of Pythias," Gen W. W. Andrews; "Stanton School," Capt. J. W. Floyd; "Men of Jacksonville," Dr. S. P. Livingston; "The Boys who are about to Go," Prof Geo. M. Sampson, and the response by Judge Harrison. W. I. Lewis was toastmaster. MRS. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AT FISK UNIVERSITY. MRS. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, who spoke at Fisk University on "Woman's Part in Race Adjustment." Centering the interest of a large number of religious, educational and social service organizations in the city was the address delivered by Mrs. Booker T. Washington at Fisk University Sunday afternoon to an audience which taxed the capacity of the historic chapel. Mrs. Washington lectured under the auspices of Fisk University which has prepared a series of lectures on Race Adjustment. Special music was furnished by the students of the University. Miss Mudela Owens played an organ solo that was enthusiastically received. Mrs. Washington spoke on the subject "Woman's Part in Race Adjustment." She said in part: "Fifteen years ago thirty colored women in the state of Alabama came together and decided that something must be done for the small boys of the race. They sought and found a sympathetic listener and advisor in in the sister of a man who was at that time the governor of the state, a woman who had taken the lead in making it possible for the small criminals of her own race to be protected from the influence of hardened men in the prisons of the state. Of the reformatory built as a result of these efforts, she said: "White women, including the wives and friends of more than one governor of the state continue to visit Montgomery, giving to the children of the life and allows a glimpse of the life on opportunity, and thus saying to them, 'Every boy in this state, black as well as white, shall have a chance to be a man, to be a citizen.'" "In this question of adjustment, there are to be sure, two sides. Each of us, the Nerro and the white man, should make up his mind to do his part in making it more possible and more profitable for the two races—differing in some respects because of different opportunities and alike in others—to live on the same streets, in the same neighborhood and to have the same interest in all civic affairs without trying to hinder the progress o the other, materially or otherwise. The man who spends his time in trying to hinder and hold down another never gets very high himself. "Not more than eight or ten years ago the white women of Birmingham Ala, became interested in the condition of one of its slums. It was naturally occupied by the poorest people, who were colored. A careful in investigation was made and the women were shocked at its findings. They woke up the city officials, and the result was a $60,000 industrial school. These women have brought doctors and nurses to give health talks. They keep in touch with the head teacher of the school, who the natural interpreter of one race the other. "Here in your own city, Nashville, the educational pride of the South, you have your social services courses at Fisk University, your field work being done under the direction of white women, your lecturers come often from Vanderbilt University. You have your public library, secured partly through the Public Welfare League. You have your probation officers, you have your playgrounds, all secured in part at least through the same agencies." "Public seniment must be turned in the direction of the colored woman. It must be made to see that she is protected by the law. She can lay claim to no justice. She lives in a place where the white woman may live her will, her without let or hinderance, outside of the law, outside of social code and moral restraint which protects the white women and should protect every woman. Equality of protection is imperative for the moral life and growth of the colored women of the country." President McKenzie of Fisk University invited Mrs. Washington to come to Nashville to have part in the lecture course in race adjustment being given at Fisk; and while her message did not fall to plead for a man's chance for all the people, colored as well as white her address breathed in the message of cooperation which is actually going with concrete examples of work in on between white women and colored women in the South. NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY MARCH 22. 1918 THE SOUTHERN PUBLICITY COMMITTEE: AN ADVENTURE IN ADVERTISING. All Southerners believe that the South is the Negro's best friend; yet few of us realize how many present-day facts support our belief. Lawlessness in the South is decreasing. The better classes of Negroes are growing; and there is increasing co-operation between the best elements of both races for the betterment of the poorer and less efficient Negroes. Yet at the first opportunity numbers of them, variously estimated at from 250,000 to 400,000, have left the South for an uncongenial climate, unaccustomed kinds of labor, and strage surroundings; and their roing is profoundly in fuencing our life in more ways than one. Leading Negroes all over the South have been asked for the causes of this migration. The Southern University Commission talked with a number of them at their meeting last summer; the Conference on Race Relations which followed the meeting of the Southern Sociological Congress in August did the same; and in Atlanta and a number of other cities groups of prominent business men took the question up with local colored leaders. In every case the Negroes' replies were about the same. They showed, among other things, a need, both among the Negroes and the poorer classes of white people, for a better understanding of the attitude of the educated Christian South toward the colored race; a knowledge of the things being done by individuals, by groups, and by state authority, to help the Negroes to better, more efficient and more prosperous living. Few even of those engaged in these enterprise know how much others are doing. Law-breaking belongs to the spectacular, and thus commands publicity; but constructive workers are too busy to use megaphones. So a group of Southern folks have organized a Southern Publicity Committee to advertise among ourselves some of the South's constructive work in racial matters. They propose to furnish Southern daily papers with brief and accurate accounts of things actually being done in definite places by given persons or groups of states in the South, for or in co-operation with Negroes for Negro betterment, and to make the South a better place morally and economically, for both races to live in. The chairman of the committee is Dr. J. H. Dillard, director of the Jeans and Shater Funds, a Virginian, and an LL. D of three Southern universities, including his alma mater, washington and Lee. The other members are Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, specialist of the U. S. Bureau of Education; Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker, of the National Federation of Women's Clubs; the Rt. Rev. Theodore D. Bratton, D. D. of the Diocese of Mississippi; Messrs Clark Howell of the Atlanta Constitution; Arthur B. Krock, of the Louisville Courier-Journal; D. P. Tommy, of the Dallas News, C. P. J. Mooney of the Memphis Commercial-Apeal; E. E. Britton, formerly of the Raleigh Observer, private secretary to Secretary Daniels; Jackson Davis of Richmond, general field agent of the General Education Board; Walter Parker, general manager of the New Orleans Association of Commerce; the Rev. J. W. Lee, D. D. of St. Louis, the well-known Southern Methodist minister, author and lecturer; Dr. W. S. Currell, president of the South Carolina state university; Dr. Chas L. Crow, of the state university of Florida; Dr. W. D. Weatherford, of Nashville, Tenn. of the International Y. M. C. A.; and Mrs John D. Hammond of Georgia, who will act as secretary for the comittee. The Committee undertakes publicity work in behalf of the best aspects of our inter-racial relation in no spirit of boastfulness or of self-satisfaction as Southerners. They are aware of the shadows, the back eddies, the sinister influences in the lives of both races. But they believe the good outweighs the evil, and deserves at least as wide a hearing; and that to give publicity to successful constructive work to be by our own people will encourage others to similar efforts, and will further the interests of both races. They ask a hearing from the Southern public for these aspects of Southern life. Y.M.C.A.NEWS. The young men who are working diligently to build up a creditable membership in the Colored Association, will no doubt win their right to a place by the side of those who have paid large sums of money, made great sacrifices of time and effort, given timely suggestions, prayed fervently and have plead in and out of season that the Association might be placed on a solid basis. When this membership effort shall have closed, the members secured and who secured them will be a matter of permanent record. As was said at the beginning of the campaign, this effort affords a fine opportunity, to discover their desires, and to be disobeyed by others. Some young fellow with unusual salesmanship ability may be known after April 1st as never before. With the campaign about ten days of the close, the two hundred mark is gradually being approached. The silver loving cup, the unique lunch box, the solid gold ring, $15.00 in gold, given by the Association, the Hermitage Hardware Co., Calhoun Company Jewelers and the Retail Merchant's Association respectively, are still attracting attention. The prize should be awarded, as as Committee of-Management, seem to insist that the prizes should not be awarded until the number of members and the amount of money agreed upon should be reached or exceeded. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MARCH 22, 1918. Those who have given the prizes, however, seem to feel that they should be awarded for the best conscientious service rendered regardless of number of members or the amount of money secured. At any rate, no prize will be returned to the donors. The following young men: E. L. Kinzer, W. D. Avent, J. P. Porter, T. Matthews, H. J. Stockard, Wm. Stevens, A. R. Stockard, Jr., W. T. Tightower, Jr., M. Marion Holt, W. A. Darden, Leslie Howell and Fred T. Hill are prominent in church and fraternal organization work. The last named, Fred T. Hill, has won the reputation of being the best salesman of industrial insurance in the city. He has been with the National Life and Casualty Insurance Company for about three years. He probably has more gold watches as prizes to his credit card than an agent with the company twice as long. Hill has cast his lot with division No. 2, headed by W. D. Avent. It is predicted that he will spring quite a surprise on many of the workers who have been in the contest from the beginning. The one big purpose of the Committee of Management of the Colored "Y" when they started out last year was to get a rough estimate on the cost of operating for a year and to establish a good rating with the business men. As a result, many activities which the standard Association program calls for have been crowded out during this first year. It was estimated that approximately $8,000 would be needed to take care of the operating expenses. The very thoughts of raising this amount almost completely discouraged some members of the Committee. As the winter closes it appears that the Colored "Y's" record for meeting its obligations has kept pace with the average business, religious and educational institutions of the city, arising from the nature of the comment by those who have taken up their abode in the Association, many of whom have been here since the opening, the service has been satisfactory. Business men are especially interested in the advantages which the Association offers young men who are attending school in reducing their expenses, while at the same time increasing their comforts and conveniences. Men who themselves have been helped my philanthropists in receiving their education, consider the Nashville Colored Young Men's Christian Association an excellent medium for passing on to others what has been so graciously given to them. This seems to be true of both white and colored citizens. Full fledged Association work cannot be done until a larger number of business men co-operate with the few who have thus far made the work possible. Those in immediate charge of the various activities are handicapped because of the stress and strain in trying to make the one dollar which worthy young men place in the hands of the business committee do the work of five. Stewardess Board No 2 of St. Phillips A. M. E. Church met at the residence of Mrs. Alexander Harrington. Business of importance was discussed by the chairman, after which the members responded with their dues. After transaction of business, a delicious ice course was served. The board will hold their next meeting Thursday night, March 21, 1918 at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Spann. Mrs. Lutisha Shearin, Chairman. Miss Eva M. Lawson, Secretary. Mrs. Gleaves and Miss Tidwell of Dickson, Tenn., were in the city this week the guest of Mrs. M. R. Perry, 1022 10th Ave., N. Mrs. Gleaves teachers as Charlotte, Tenn. They returned home Wednesday. The "Dove of Peace" Now Reigns in Negro Baptist Ranks (Continued from page 1.) Philadelphia and the Baptist Young People's Union Board located in Tennessee decided to affiliate with the Morris faction of the National Baptist Board and the Educational Board located in Tennessee decided to affiliate with the Jones faction. The Woman's Auxiliary Board attempted to stay in the middle of the road and alternate their influence and work between both bodies. This brought about numerous law suits. The first two law suits were filed in the state of Illinois. These suits were over the name of the National Baptist Convention. The second two suits were filed in the state of Tennessee. The first was for the removal of Boards and the second for mismanagement of trust funds. The last Tennessee suit is still pending in Court. There were two other suits brewing. The Foreign Mission Board without sanction of the law of the state of Kentucky had removed their property of that board from Louisville to Philadelphia. This Board had considerable property some of which was a legacy willed by a lady in New York to the amount of $25,000 or $30,000. The Jones faction of the Louisville was preparing to bring suit asking the state of Kentucky to make this Board bring back the property of the Board to the state of Kentucky. The Morris faction after examining the charter of the Women's Auxiliary Board was preparing to bring suit to force the Women's Board to change their charter. These EASTER PROGRAMS NOW READY!

PRICE: Sample copy, 5 cts.; per doz., 40 cts.; per hundred, $4 SEND ALL ORDERS TO National Baptist Publishing Board 523 Second Ave., N. Nashville, Tennessee conditions had started all the leading ministers and educated men into lawyers and these mooted questions started ministers out studying law, finally the Southern white Baptist Convention and a joint commission of both colored Conventions advised the necessity of mutual consideration of these questions. A commission of seven white brethren, from the Southern Baptist Convention and seven brethren from the incorporated Convention met in Muskegue the brethren from the unincorporated convention that met in Atlanta were appointed. These twenty-one brethren met in Memphis on the morning of the 19th, at 10:30 o'clock and after five or six hours deliberations behind closed doors entered into unanimous agreements to recommend to both factions. I was not a member of these commissions, did not go into the rooms and do not know what transpired in these rooms. I was admitted by courtesy to visit the conference by the Jones mission to speak to did. I told them that brought the Morris faction was really in earnest about wanting peace and that I thought the Jones faction should meet them half way. If they could do so without sacrificing the Baptist principles. This was agreed upon on condition that two points be conceded by the Morris faction which were as follows: First, that the charter that raised the dispute should be abrogated, withdrawn and spurned from the records in Washington. Second that all law suits were to be withdrawn by the Morris faction. These two propositions were unanimously agreed upon and will be reported to both Concern. The questions of denominational Church, ward control and Convention control are questions which will now be discussed and settled mutually by the Boards. The question of Theological Seminary, Home Mission work, Foreign Mission work, etc., will be settled in the same way and I am sure that they will be amicably settled." "Doctor where do you and the publishing Board come in and what should Dr. Boyd: "That has never been much of a question. The Publishing Board has always conceded that the property held by it belonged to the Baptist denomination but must be controlled by the Publishing Board. We were not deeply interested in the National charter question, though we were the defendants in the law suits and as this suit is still pending we can not say anything as yet. When that suit is settled by the degree of the court or withdrawn by the Morris faction the Publishing Board will then issue its declaration to the Baptist denomination of the country for they are more anxious than any one that the property of the Publishing Board must be the property of the Baptist denomination and must do the work for which it was incorporated.

(1) AGENTS WANTED WRITE FOR OUR Personally, I am glad that the brethren have come together in these agreements. I have been the most abused and accused person in the whole affair but I shall not ask that a single brother retract or apologise for anything that he has said in his pasmess but I shall continue to pray and old brothed Stephen of old "Lord forgive them for they know not what they do." The majority of the Morris brethren were sincere because they were misled but now that they have seen the error of their ways and have decided to abrogate their charter and withdraw their lawsuit, I hope that the Jones faction that goes to make up the unincorporated Convention will hold our the olive branch and turn loose the white dove and meet the brethren more than half way and that we may have and I believe will have stronger and more united Boards and a more permanent peace than we have ever had before. Those people that have refused to deal with the Publishing Board because they were misled by the theory that it had been wrongly taken from them will now return and help build up the waste places. Our Board can not say what it purposes to do or what its belief is to this vexious law suit is withdrawn but I believe that it will issue a unanimous declaration to the Baptists that will make them feel glad so I call the readers of this interview to lend themselves for PEACE.
