Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.14,No.16, SLAVES OF LANGUAGE. (For The Associated Negro Press.) Sometimes we white Americans see a black man who envies us. To me at least, such envy is always surprising, pitiful, and somewhat absurd. We are not happy enough to be envied. Still we ought to be happy, happier at least than our ancestors. We belong to the race of two-legged vermin called Human Beings who ages ago proved themselves better killers than the other vermin on this mudball of planet. Long ago we learned not to fight every comer, but to get together and laughter the weaker animals. We have learned to do all sorts of ingenious thinks—to cover our bodies with the soft fur of the four-footers and fill our bellies with their flesh; to make fruits and vegetables grow wherever we want them; to cross oceans comfortably and safely; to fly; to build houses and warm them; to compose sounds pleasing to the ear and sights pleasing to the eye; to rob each other bloodless by methods approved by codes of.....Business; to divide our women so that we may each have one without violence; to make one another's acquaintance by system of mouth-noises, send tidings over wres and through the air, exchange stories by means of marks on pieces of paper; to adorn ourselves; to learn of our surroundings; even to create a God in our image, that we may worship ourselves with an appearance of humility. We have machinery powerful beyond our fathers' dreams for the rapid making of countess treasures. Yes, we ought to live like gods; particularly in America, with a world of untouched riches. But How DO We Live? All day we work in stores and factor's, using our great machines to produce more great machines that our children may make more machines. We work in dust and smoke, and return to ugly homes to eat and sleep. Evenings, we rush to the nearest cheap amusement, or if we have money, to something better which we have never taken time to understand and appreciate. Art, Enjoyment, Laughter? We have no time for these things. They are Frivoous. Business Before Pleasure. Americans are Hustlers. We do Things. We have More Money than Any Other Nation. The rubber bands we make would stretch around Jupiter. We are learning to Live Longer—and to Make More rubber bands and bottle stoppers. We are advancing in Civilization. This Is Progress. We Must Do Our Duty. Don't ask silly questions; if we stop to find out what we're doing we'll never get it done. What is the meaning of all this—this rushing, rushing to the grave Preparation for another world? Queer preparation. Work for the next generation? We are teaching the next generation the same thing. It is simply the worship of words we have never tried to understand. Every new invention brings new power, and Man plays with his new power to show how well he can use it; Vanity makes him want new playthings, more wealth; afraid somebody else will have more than he has, he uses his time increasing his possessions instead of enjoying them; and knowing his emptiness, sensing a little the absurdity of his life, he covers his nonsense with big names, which he will defend to the death. He ties himself to a word, and stubborn vanity keeps him even from questioning that word. If he can make holt buckles faster than any one else, he will take up all his time with the making of buckles, and call buckle-making Civilization, or Duty, or Progress, or the White Man's Burden, and swear that nothing else is equal to it. And he calls himself what he thinks he would like to be, and fights anybody who says he isn't. The General Baptist State Convention of Miss., Holds A Great Session.

"Atrocities Of Southland Should Cause Us To Bow Head In Shame" Declares Virginian WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 11—Dicussing the necessity for the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, Mr. H. E. Barnett, a Virginian, has the following to say: "As a former Virginian I have bowed my head in shame at the atrocities of the southland. Years ago I viewed the victim of a mob hanging by the neck from an apple tree. He was gagged, his clothes torn and his skin lacerated and bruised by the stones over which he had been dragged. "The sight sent cold chills through me. I saw him many nights after in my dreams. It was a scene I shall never forget; and yet all, except the members of the victim's race, prattled and giggled as if nothing unusual had happened!" "Later in the day the body of the victim was cut down, and the corner's jury rendered a verdict that the victim had come to his death at the hands of persons unknown—yet well known—to the jury. When men by whom the law is enacted for the betterment of the community, fall to uphold it, and become violators of the code under which society in the the state is to be governed, then the general government should step forward and vindicate the order of civilization and pass such a bill as the Dyer anti-lynching bill, whether it is thought by pettifoggers to be constitutional or not. Human rights are superior to state rights." He will fight to prove he's peaceful, and lock people up for saying he doesn't allow free speech. He will lynch in the name of Law and Order. But he isn't a hypocrit. He is mere y that most vain and selfish of all beings—an idealist. Failing to live up to his own ideals, too vain to admit failure, he pretends he has succeeded, and will fight the world to spread the names of those ideals, no matter what horrors he may spread with them. He is a save who, rather than see another pass him, will enslave the world. And he believes in the madness that he preaches. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Aug. 11, 1922. Education, Rev. W. H.

CORA JAMES, Sec. .... Man Dives 110 Feet Into Mississippi River For $25.01; Drowns. MEMPHIS, TENN., Aug. 9—Three thousand people paid less than a penny aplece to see Edward Powell, a one-legged man, stage a "death dive" from Harahan bridge into the Mississippi river 110 feet below last Sunday afternoon. Powell drowned before aid could reach him. According to reports Powel announced early last week that he would make the dive on Sunday, but would precede the performance with a collection which he intended to use to buy himself an artificial limb. This announcement appealed strongly to the sympathies of the people and a large nu titude gathered to see Powell perform the fate. The collection brought only $25 01, but Powel, was game and stitched that he was a man of his word, and went through with the exhibition which MONROVIANS GET CHARTER.

DELEGATION LARGER THAN EXPECTED BRINGING THE CREAM OF THE RACE Prince Hall Grand Chapter opened their 39th Annual Communication at their Hill, 615 N. Main St., 10.00 a.m. Aug. 9th 1922, with worthy Grand Matron, Mrs. Gertrude Clark of Lawrence, Kans., presiding. The Grand Chapter was opened in form according to the ancient rights and order of the Eastern Star. They opened with a far larger delegation than was expected; the attendance was so much larger than was expected, they had to move to the Court House for their Grand Session. They found in their attendance at the opening representative members of the Grand Order of Court of Celtanheand the Grand S. M. Ts'. of Kansas. In fact Wichita has a distinguished guest within its wall and we welcome them. At Calvary Baptist Church to a large audience of the best thinking people of the race the following program was rendered: Invocation by Rev. J. W. Hayes, the pastor, who prayer for the success of the meet and for the night program and thank God for leading women of the race. A song by the Calvary chorus was fully of life and we stood ready to hear Mr. E. C. Elliott, the city manager, who talked plainly on the moral effects of the law and extended welcome on behalf of city to a set who were worthy of the welcome. Organ So'o by Mrs. D. L. Sms. Rev. B. C. Pannavalona delivered welcome on behalf of Churches and he first touched on the beauty and culture of the race; then on the sign of the truth of the prophecy: "that this race will soon be the leading Christian race in America." The principles are in you of the Christ, so the churches stand open to you. In the response by Mr. E. Roberson, he said; he was surprise to know that he was to fill the place of a man who makes his living talking. He complimented the city manager. Mr. Elliott for coming himself and not sending someone. He spoke of the beautiful streets of the city and its people and accepted the welcome in behalf of the Prince Hall Chapter. Solo by Mrs. N. B. Copeland was charming to music lovers. Welcome on behalf of Princes and Lutie Brown Chapters by Mrs. Ida Balance was very appropriate. She grew eloquent with her sweet words of welcome. The response by Mrs. Marie Soanes, G. A. M. was equally as appropriate. She pictured the beautiful city and said its represented the hearts of the people. She was thoughtful in the accepting of the welcome. Solo by Mrs. H. T. Greeder brought many applauses. The Reading: "Ethiopia" by Miss Marie Brown was good inspite of a cold. The solo by Mrs. Myrtle Letcher was a sweet rendition. Dr. J. R. Ransom gave few word of welcome, which was very fitting. Mrs. W. G. Curt's held the audience her way while she reading Dunbar's Lodge Meeting, assigning it to the Eastern Star. Remarks by Rev. J. W. Hayes was story and to the point showing how he appreciated the meeting. The chorus by St. Paul's A. M. E. Choir was so well rendered until they received an encore and they gave "Steal Away" with equally as much sweetness. It was charming and appeasing any person and lover of the race. The Reading: "When De Corn Pon's Hot" by Mrs. Corrine Dettis Brown, brought many applauses. Mrs. G. Gertrude Walton, mistress of ceremony, introduced G. W. M., Mrs. Certrude Clark of Lawrence, who modestly declined from saying anything as her work had been heavy to any person and lover of race The lissa Sexton, sweety sang: "Nobody Knows" by Burleigh, the encore brought "Malindy Lue". It sounded rather lovely for the Holy of Holies. Better Race Relations. Most of the thinking of whites and Negroes about one another in America is not more than half truth—half truth given currency by newspapers and magazines, white and colored; near facts tinged by racial interpretation. Special racial situations, such as riots, are usually interpreted to the outside world according to the racial state of mind of the person or group reporting. Community customs and attitudes are not determined by facts, but are based upon certain racial as sumptions with little basis in fact; for example, the common assumption among whites, when a Negro family tries to get away from the muddy, dark, unpoliced streets where most Negro homes are, that they want to live next door to white people. Here, is the test for those who would improve race relations: to state the case in terms of the concrete and thus challenge white and colored men to action around concrete situations where agreement is easiest. Out of such work will come to better racial attitude. There are here in the South great human tasks which challenge white and colored intelligence and faith. Those furnish the best opportunity for the building of racial good will. We shall never lower the death rate from tuberculosis until white and colored intelligence work together to that end. An invaluable byproduct will be better racial attitudes. Will W. Alexander in the Southern Workman. Agricultural Work In Negro Schools. Today there is a real interest in agriculture and the young man who wishes his work to count in the development of a more Who esome and attractive country life can find a wide field in agricultural work. To the well-trained man there are good openings in Smith-Hughes and Smith-Lever work. Perhaps no agencies are doing more to educate the farmer and to arouse in the country boy an interest in agriculture than these two agencies. The Smith-Hughes work is connected directly with the schools, and poultry, horticulture, and farm crops are among the subjects taught. The project method of instruction, which is widely used in teaching Smith-Hughes work, not only gives the student a knowledge of agriculture, but provides training in business methods, for the boy who is given charge of a project must buy his supplies, have entire charge of the work, keep account of his costs, sell his produce, and give accurate figures as to profit and loss. In South Carolina alone there are 22 Negro schools where Smith-Hughes work is given; in Tennessee here are 16 teachers of Smith-Hughes agriculture; while Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, and North Carolina each have 15 schoo s where this subject is taught. One State supervisor of Negro schools writes, "There is a growing demand for this type of teacher and we have funds which will enable us to put on some five or six additional teachers each year." The importance of securing men of ability for these positions is now being recognized by Government and State officials, and attractive salaries are paid to these instructors. The pay for county agents and Smith-Hughes teachers ranges from $900 to $1500 per year, while supervisors and directors of teacher-training receive even better salaries. Southern Workman The Ind ans need to be taught more about gardening and the use of vegetables. Their health would improve greatly if they raise and use more of these. A knowledge of better methods of sheep and cattle raising in some sections would help greatly. This instruction should be given in an organized way. The Indian people are social beings. Allotments keeping them separated have been mostunpopular; they must come together and visit and talk over and pan together what is to be done. Any kind of work or play which can be combined with a "council" has its success partially secured. Farmer's meetings and clubs, women's societies, and feasts for all, young people's organizations or boys' and girls' clubs could be organized and used as great agencies in the teaching of proper living conditions and economic progress. What should be the center for all of this? In the old days everything for the Indians centered in their religion, and their religion permeated every phase of their life. We may call it superstitution and deplore many evils which it contained; but something supernatural was at the heart of all that was most precious. Why should not the Christian Church fill this same place and be the center from which inspiration should go for every phase of their lives? Certainly the social life, to be of the right kind, should be controlled by the Christian leaders on the reservations. A great interest in all phases of their economic life would soon put a new spirit into their very day work in the homo and on the farm. Edith M. Dabb in the Southern Workman Vocational Guidance For Negro Children The opportunity to make the first step toward meeting the needs of the colored child in New York came when the vocational guidance bureau were established in several schools in Manhattan by a philanthropic committee originally interested in the Henry Street neighborhood. A colored teacher in one of the biggest girls' schools in Harlem was asked to get a leave of absence from the classrgom and take charge of a vocational guidance bureau in that school. For one year this work was financed by the committee mentioned, and then the Board of Education took over the work. After two years in the girls' school the work was extended to include two boys' schools, all three of them having 2500 pupils. The gifted ones are not only to finish elementary school but to go to high school for further training. Where financial difficulties exist for the student after-school work is secured whenever possible, and in many instances the schoolship committee of the Henry Street Settlement has awarded scholarship. Many children, after being given intelligence tests, show that they have special ability but not sufficient ability but not sufficient general intelligence to do the abstract work required in the high schools. These pupils are often suited to the work in the trade schools and are so guided. For those who go to work, post ones are secured by the counsellor or by the Junior Placement Bureaus which co-operate with the Vocational Guidance Bureau. —Southern Workman. CHICAGO, Aug. 11—William Allen White, nationally famed daily newspaper editor of Emporia, Kansas, in a syndicated article, published recently in a number of daily papers, told the "white people where to get off," so far as "poking fun" at Co- orced people is concerned. Said Mr. White: "At Westfield, N. J., a Colored golf club has been established and a nine-hole course laid out. A Colored colony there seems to warrant the golf course. The item that this course is laid out will cause a million giggles to sizzle across the country. Cartoonists will make funny pictures of t. Vaudeville artists will do sketches about it. Something exquisitely funny seems to excite the white race when it sees the Colored race doing things which are ordainary parts of the day's work and play to the white people. It is as though the elephant should drive an auto or a horse play the piano. "The reason for this is'bility of the white man at the black man's human activities is obvious and it is no redit to the white man. He thinks it a funny to see the black man doing things that normal human beings do, because the white man does not think of his dark-skinned fellow-traveler on the planet as a human companion. The white man considers any Colored man-black, brown, red, yellow, or maroon--as an animal. The anthropological concept of the white man is ponderous, unbelievable, vastly amusing to the gods. "Why should not the black man play golf if his economic status gives him leisure for golf? Why should he not, have a motor car and a country house if he can afford it? Why giggle at the normal activities of men whose skin differs from our own Something of the same psychological reason is being the fact that we middle class people make merry over the fact that the worker in the mines or shops or furnaces wears a silk shirt or rents a house with a bath or rides to work in a car. Why should he Is he an elephant doing stunts Is he a horse playing the plano? what's the joke if he develops the same desires and as pirections that we do? And who in God's name are we, anyway?

To Appear Before A Federal Judge. By J. M. Batchman ST LOUIS, MO., Aug. 11—Charles Kirklin and Stevet Adams, members of the Car Cezners Union, were cited to appear before a Federal Judge August 11, to answer to a charge of violating a Federal Injunction issued July 10 on behalf of the Missouri Pacific Railroad to prevent unlawful picketing, violence, etc., in connection with the present railroad strike. Both men joined the walkout, and aong with others have been active for the cause of organized labor. Both are excellent citizens and probably unwittingly got into some compromising position. Knights of Pythias Hold Grand Lodge. (By The Associated Negro Press.) GEORGETOWN, KY., Aug. 11—Featuring the twenty-ninth annual session of the Grand Lodge Knight of Pythias which closed here were the reports from Grand Chancellor, J. M. Mundy, Dr. E. E. Underwood, President of the Pythian Mutual Industrial Association and the biennial encampment, under the command of Brigadier General W. W. Wilson. The mamoth undertaking toward which the energies of the entire order have been directed for number of years, has been the big realty venture represented in the Pythian Temple at Tenth and Chestnut Sts., in Louville. The very existence of the order has been wrapped up in the success of the temple, which is valued at more than a quarter of a million dollars. At this year's session, the reports from the chief officers show that the entire indebtedness on the temple has been practically liquidated and in September of this year the last dollar owed will be paid. The biggest encampment since the Word War was held at the Scott County Fair Grounds, one of the most beautiful spots in the famous Blue Grass region. The parade through the principal streets of the city on the third day of the session was witnessed by thousands of spectators from all parts of the states.

Aug. 11—Approximate y one thousand one hundred and ninety-eight colored people in virtually every trade and occupation, and sixty-one white workers, form the working personnel of 113 newspapers and 14 magazines owned and directed by colored proprietors in 30 States and the District of Columbia. The grand total of 1,259, which also includes approximately 185 female colored workers, is made up of the following trade increments: Proprietors or managers 204. edi- torial and clerical workers 393, foremen 69, compositors 103, lnotype operators 70, machinists 21, admn 32, make-up men 38, floormen 16, proofrealers 47, stereotypers 2, electrotypers 2, pressmen 81, bookbinders 66, mailers 104, and all other tradesmen 58. The 61 white workers, aside from four of their number who exclusively comprise the electrotyping and stereotyping occupations of the 127 publications studied, are sparsely distributed from linetype operators to mailers, and other skilled-to-unskilled occupations. The 127 papers and periodicals are arther classified as 96 secular, 23 religious, and 8 fraternal publica ons, of whose number 98, 22, and 3 a published weeky, month, and laily, respectively. Two are bi-monthly issues and of the remaining two, one is a bi-weekly and one is a quarterly publication. Sixty-three of the above publications maintain and operate their own presses, and an additional seven conduct a general printing and pubishing business for contract work of a book or job nature. The composing work of seventy of the publication is done at the plants by skilled colored compositors and their associates. These statistics are taken from a summary of the newspaper and publishing industry prepared by Phil. II. Brown of the U. S. Department of Labor, who conducted an inquiry among the 350 publications listed with the department as of 1918. Of this number, 42 have suspended publication since that year, and 181 of the smaller papers failed to respond. Humorous Incidents With The Strikers. By J. M. Batchman (For The Associated Negro Press) ST. LOUIS, MO, Aug. 11—The rail road strike brings forth humorous incidents. A white collared official gives out the following: "A Negro upon being told by an official not to be alarmed as there was no reason for fear replied: "Boss man if dem strikers comes in heah, the on'y man that's goin' to git hurt am de one dat g.ts in front uv me go'n out." "Another colored worker upon being told by picket that he had three minutes in which to vanish, replied: What's you all goin to do*wif dem two and a half minutes you got lef?" Commune With The Father At Noon. (By The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Aug. 11—One minute of Prayer, at Noon, Saturday, August twelfth, throughout the United States, has been proposed by the "AFRO-AMERICAN," of Baltimore, during the dedication of the Frederick Douglass home, Anacostia, District of Columbia. The proposal has been endorsed throughout the land, and Colored Americans everywhere will bow their heads in silent prayer at that time. Speaking editorially, the Afro-American says: "On Saturday, August 12, the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs will meet in annual session at "Cedar Hill," Anacostia, D. C., and dedicate there the home of Frederick to the nation and to posterity. "The Douglass Home is a great Colored Shrine, because it was the home of the greatest black man Maryland has ever produced, and one of the greatest in the history of the nation. "The Women of the country under the leadership of Mrs. Mary Talbert, restored this home to its former glory and propose to set it apart as a great memoria, to the great Douglass. At noon on that day, there should be a moment of silent prayer observed all over the country, and every colored person should thank God for Frederick Douglass, dedicating himself anew to the principles which Douglasses espoused and for which he gave his life blood. Bert Williams' Widow 'Sues Henry Creamer (Preston News Service) NEW YORK CITY, Aug. 9-It is reported that Mrs. Bert Williams has sued Henry Creamer in an effort to cover $300 which she alleges Creamer owed her late husband on a promissory note. According to Mrs. Williams the note was negotiated in December 1921 and was due on April 4, 1922. Efforts to collect the money by peaceful methods proved futile and Mrs. Williams resorted to the law.

Now, this might have sound sweet to the car of this noted boxer, but it sounds like a rattle of screw that is loosened by jealousy for the fame that his opponent has had, to the thinking Negro of Wichita and even the white man of this city as a whole thanks very little of a suggestion to unlawfully take the life of any one. Now, Mr. Langford might have meant well, to appease his own destructive nature, but his judgement is bad, if he thinks that he has to come to this city, where the races think of lynchings as savage stunts, pulled of by people who have no thought of God, government nor humanity, but in Wichita every force is against the occasion of the use of the rope for the law. We don't hold that any man, who roams the country just to demonstrate how he can trike his fist and beat a man into subjection, is doing the highest thing for the development of the world unto to goodness and unto God, but if men will do it, there is something in the breast of every race loving man that makes him want a member of his race to lead and when the world stood on anxious tip-toes to see the results of LADIES AND DELEGATES OF O.E.S.

"It is Finished," was the appropriate basis of a very able discourse delivered by Rev. Ransom at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Sunday morning. The creation of matter; the creation of man, the violation of God's laws by man and the final plan of redemption thro the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, was forcibly impressed upon the hearts of the congregation. The monthly sacramental service was held in the evening and was preceded by an appropriate text from John 13:27: "That thou doest; do quickly." The promptings of Satan in the heart of Judas Iscariot and the Divine fore-knowedge of the Master were elovuently applied to the pretenders of today and those who are slothful in Christian activities. A recently organized auxiliary of the young people, know as the Buds of Progressive" is aiming to give service and afford every young boy and girl of the Alen Endeavor League and the Sunday School an opportunity to be up and doing. What are you doing for the Master's cause? Mrs. Anderson Greggs, 8th and Water Streets, was called to Kansas City last week on account of the illness and death of her grand-daughter, Mary Luella McLelan, age 18. A brief funeral service was held in Allen Chapel there, afterwhich the remains were brought to Wichits, the home of her early childhood, accompanied by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Will. Alkens and Mrs. Greggs. On Saturday afternoon funeral ceremonies were conducted at St. Paul A. M. E. Church at which time Rev. Ransom spoke in gloring terms of the inestable life and character of the deceased. She leaves to mourn her departure a grand mother, mother and step father and two brothers, Burton and Mcynard and a host of friends in Kansas City and also in Wichita, Mr. and Mrs. Alkens returned to their home in Kansas, City, Monday evening. Shiloh Baptist Church is still on the upward march to meet that bright and Morning Star. We had a lovely Sunday School. Rev. Waters was with us from Abilene, Kansas, and preached for us. He took his text I. Peter 5:8. We had as usual a great scromon and everybody seemed to have enjoyed it to the highest; and says they want him back soon. This week will line up with the Sister churches so they will know that we are in the land of the Living. Brother Pitts, who was married on the 20th of July in Osage City. He married Mrs. Fannie Turner. She arrived in this city today to make her home with husband. They seem to be happy. ended fatally. CHURCH LIFE IN OUR CHURCH. Church life in general assumed a holy aspect Sunday. Sunday morning our able pastor, Rev. Hayes, who brought to us a message. He spoke from I. Cor. 3:19, subject: "Co-operation with God." He spoke on the subject from two main points of view—human and divine; divine because what good produced by us is God working in us. "Human co-operation will succeed in proportion to parties involved." Our pastor made pain the essentials for God's speed. He stated them as follows: 1. Common leadership, common in the sense that it can reach the masses. One fine quality and even a pre-requits of good leadership is that the leader should be a long ways ahead of the masses, but not a far off, a long ways ahead in his thinking, but common enough to get his message across so that the masses can grasp the thought. 2. Simple life. "Jesus lived a simple life." 3. Simple message. Jesus had a simple message. 4. Sympathethile leaders. Leaders, who show some feeling and care for their following. 5. Performance of duty on the part of each and every individual. To do my duty here in this particular instance may make things go more smoothly yonder in some other part AMONG THE CHURCHES of the work. 6. A place for all. No one needs to wait until asked or especially requested, but should serve voluntarily and unselfishly; in a time spirit of love and Christianity. 7. Closer relation to God. Some two or three beautiful little stories were told in connection by way of illustration to a close confidence in God. A story was told of a man and his little daughter traveling over the road in a wagon; the father let the little girl drive. Whenever they came to a dangerous place in the road the little girl would say, "Here, father, you drive." When the road was smoothhe again the father handed the lines back to the little girl."—"Let Jesus drive." Another story was to'd of a little boy and his father walking along; the little fellow kept falling and rising; the father gave no attention to this, however, the little fe low should stumble again and again; fell repeatedly Finally, the father said to the little fe low, "Son, let father hold your hand." He did and they walked peacefully on their way. He will take our part. Our task in the work is not hard if we love. He will take our part, we ought to co operate. We had two additions to the church Sunday morning: Bro. I. D. Beasley and Bro. Rankin. Sunday evening services were unusual. The members in the congregation, who had been visiting reported the nature of their visits to the churches. Mrs. Ida Balance, who has spent several weeks visiting in DesMoines. Iowa, reported an ideal visit, taking into account the progress of the church in those parts. She reported favorably. Mrs. Hayes, wife of our pastor, has been visiting in Colorado for a month and has returned. She reports the condition of the churches of those parts very unfortunate; large churches with few in attendance, indifference on the part of the members. Mrs. Hayes was visiting her mother and sisters in Denver, Colo. She reports a very enjoyable visit and comes back to us refreshed with the mountain air. Sunday evening our congregation was graced with the presence of Dr. J. Madison Young, D. D., who spoke to us in his powerful magnetic manner. "Did not our hearts burn within as he talked to us by the way. Rev. Young comes from New Orleans, the First Baptist Church of which he has been pastor for the past twenty-one years. Rev Young is a man of long experience. Our souls feasted as we sat at the feet of the sage. Rev. Young spoke to us from Isa. 33:20-21. Subject: "The peace, tranquility, securities and supplies of the Christian Church." some points on the sermon: 1. Zion the city of solemnity. "The ultimate end of the church is peace." Dr. Young made a strong claim for the church. He state and contested for his own claim to the church purchased by his Elder Brother. His little wass signed when He was nailed to the cross and bled. The Captain of the church, Jesus, is for peace, therefore the subjects of the church are peaceful. Confusion has no place in the church, this was never intended. Security of the church: "A temp'e whose pillars shall not be torn down." "Upon this rock, (the faith) I build my church and the gates of he.l shall not prevail against it." A powerful message was delivered. Rev. Young is enroute for Calif., to regain his health. There was one addition: Sister Gust. n of Texas. Thousand Witness Cornerstone Laying At Central Baptist Ch.
