E, Church, the good Bishop made a very touching summa- ry of hig life and work, for the ad- vancemment of the Educational Life of the Negro. He told how he left a splendid parish in Cincinnati and went to Georgia, and on the outskirts of Atlanta, founded the Gammon Theologizal Seminary. From th's humble teginning, today, that school po'nts with pride to several Bishops and some of the outstanding pastors of the country, who have graduated from Gammon, | Our own Rev. Pope fs from that Institution; tke only graduate in Wichita. The Bishop then told of the strug- gle at Howard, and how hard he had worked to put that college on a sound footing; and that today, Howard ranks with the beat Universities in the land. The Howard group in our city are: Dr. P. M. Bell, Dr, G. G, Brown, Mr. J. C. Green, Miss Hattle Harper, and Atty. Jas. A. Spears. They were seated together and In a presenta- tion talk made by Lawyer Spears, they gave to the Bishop a beautiful leather bound Testament as an ex- pression of their loyalty to Howard, nd their appreciation for his hfe s. service for that Institution, The Bishop says tkat if there Ss one drop of Race Prejudice in his heart, he would take a knife and let it out. He fs now Bishop of Mexico. He ‘gave a brief account of that great country and of the Latin Americans and how they are being revolutlon- ized by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Come again Bishop, you are welcome, “Hutch.” 2 eH That any jackass can bray, but it takes a thinker to say something that will help others.§ ‘That those who fight with the eword shall perish by the sword; what is your wesponofdefense? =” That those who had already made the Summer's ebange of apparel felt some- what shakey during the few chilly days this week? That Mrs. Geeder, head of the music department of L'Ouverture School, again put the school and the Negro on the map when, under her very efficient direction, the little girls of thie achoo! won the music memory contest? This meana the defeat of all the others in town. This success of the music de: partment only gives additional evidence of the excelling and prevailing ab lity of a despised and rejected pecple, ‘That Miss Laura Rawles has allowed the little chilly spell to make her s little uppish; she bardly speaks to us now, ‘That we must continuously remind ourselves of the need of encouraging the young folk?

At 11 o'clock our minister preached a splendid sermon. In the afternoon our pastor drove over to Tabernacle, pastored by Rev. Nails and there they performed a 'duet' baptism; perhaps the first of the kind for ages, in this city among our color. Rev. Douglass preached the Baptismal Sermon to the candidates and a good crowd; all was enjoyed. Dr. Hayes prayed a fervent prayer. On coming back' home—St. Mary, our B. Y. P. U., was in session at 6 o'clock; Mrs. Reed, newly elected vice president, was on hand. The session was good. At 8 o'clock, our minister preached a great sermon from Isaiah 49:14; subject "Trust in God"—God will Help. Our minister has moved to 1204 N. Cleveland; he is all smiles. We are pleased to state that the sick in our parish are all up and around again. It is the desire of the teachers and pastor that each mother, foster mother, guardian mother, come to Sunday School May 14th; let it be seen that mother's interest for the kiddies is still in existence.

Mrs. Clara Johnson of 1321 Cleve- THE brutal and murderous gossipers of the race who can find nothing to do but feast from day to day upon the carcass of its featuring dead degeneracy, where such does not exist. reveling in the scent of an attack made against a fellowman or woman, are the most detrimental agencies in operation against the success of a race in any given community. To lower the general reputation of any individual member of a race, unjustly, must have its reaction against the community progress of the entire racial group. Any individual given to continued daily tales of scandal and gossip, first shows a total lack of regard for the very fundamentals of racial honor, which must be based upon the general reputation of the individuality of the racial group, and to that extent, stands a traitor to the entire racial group. Next, such an individual, due to the scavenger like nature of their mentality, indicates a total lack of fitness to come into contact with the young mind of the race which must be led to have a hateful appreciation of every tendency towards anything other than absolute truth. The youth's feelings, of life, love and sensations, together with an appreciative degree of anger, hate and exultation are all more or less liable to be effected by the soul tongue of ordinary gossip, and save it is to the youth of the race that we must now turn for future racial greatness. let us individually see that if fail they do, it will not be due to an arrest of higher ideals and inspirations brought about by base scandall and ordinary lying gossip. Down with the cheap tongue gossipper, the present enemy of racial honor and the only medium by which the law of love is checked in its progressive march into the ranks of any successful people. land, was in the office Wednesday morning; she was all smiles.
