INTEREST SHOWN IN ANNIVERSARY Members of Race Tell How Event Should Be Fittingly Celebrated MANY FAVOR EXPOSITION Historic Occasion Should Denote Progress of the Race, in the Consensus of Opinion DIFFER AS TO LOCATION Some Truth That the South Should Do the Soul of the Celebration While Others Wear the North. Going to the general interest being conceived in the fiftieth anniversary of the freedom of the Negro in America, the Ame. has written to members of the press, inviting in the different sections of the country asking that they give their views on "How Should the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Freedom of the Negro Be Celebrated?" Among the letters that have been received on the subject are the following: (By Dr. W. Brueu Evans, Washington, D. C.) I feel that a celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Negro's freedom is not only advisable, but is a bounded duty of the men of color of this generation. Nothing short of a great Negro exposition showing what we have accomplished in every line would be credit to such a great occasion. (By Major R. R. Moton.) With reference to celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Negro of the I. I. beg to say that in my opinion there should be a suitable exposition, industrial, economic and educational, which would show the progress of the Negro in the world and in the world. Because an exposition, if undertaken, should be as complete and as perfect as it is possible to make it. By Roscoe C. Bruce, Washington, D. C. The fifteenth anniversary of the freedom of the Negro people in America might, in my judgment, be best celebrated in 1913 by an exposition in some large and accessible Southern city, the exhibits so selected and organized as to indicate pretty adequately on the one hand what the social and industrial conditions of the other, actually were, the other, not so much what has been done for the Negro, but what the Negro has done under freedom for himself, for America, for the advancement of civilization. (By Col. James Lewis, New Orleans, (La.) In reply to your favor requesting my opinion as to proper methods of celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of the freedom of the Negro in 1913, I would beg to state that I have not given great consideration in such event would merit, preferring to rest my judgment with Prof. Booker T. Washington and his associates men who have done and are doing something that is truly creditable to the race after such men I follow ((By Dr. H. R. Bottler, Atlanta, Ga.) The race should celebrate its fifteenth anniversary of freedom by giving a great national exposition in the city of Washington or Boston. Of the two places I would prefer the latter for its prominence in the cause of freedom I prefer the North to hold the exposition in order to show the Northern friends, whose mothers and fathers and even then selves, that their labors were not in vain. Nothing could be gained by holding it in the South simply because that section knows what we have done and are doing from every day observation. (By John W. Thompson, Rochester, N.Y.) In record to the proper method of celebrating the 61st anniversary of the freedom of the Negro in 1913 it is my opinion that great national meeting of republicans of Negroes be held in Washington and have a three-day meeting among the various phases of the success since he was made a man, and that the third or last of the meeting be given up and the songs and the Negroes in it all the country observe the day as intended for the occasion. (By Prof W. S. Scahle Wilberforce University I am in charge of the fifteenth anniversary of the freedom of the Negro in which the most common people during the mentioned to make an exposition of that kind a success will require a level-headed management. The people have fallen in so many undertakings of this kind that I fear to make us anxious in reference to the best way to secure lasting results With Dr. Booker T. Washington in the lead I have no doubt as to the out come. (By Dr George C. Hall, Chicago, Ill) Realtive to the best method of celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of the freedom of the Negro in 1918, I will say pride in its post history can have very little to hope for in its future history RUFUS AINT YOU GOING TO BUY THE CHILDREN A CHRISTMAS TREE? NO LINDY I AM 100 POOR BUT YOU LEAVE IT TO ME - THE YOUNGSTERS WILL HAVE A TREE! WHAT UNDER THE SUN ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THAT CRASH? GOND TO MAKE A CHRISTMAS TREE! HOW DID YOU THINK OF THIS RUFUS? LINDY WONT THE YOUNGSTERS HAVE A GLORIOUS JOLLIFACATION WHEN THEY GEE THIS TREE! MERRY X-MAS CHILDREN-SEE WHAT SANTA DONE AND BROUGAT! The Negro has been so busy in the past gaining some points of vantage, some high plain from which he could look around him, that he has become too prone to remember the struggle, and has failed to keep a clear record of the progress he has made. Take the more serious to the race than that some system be evolved by which every Negro could be made acquainted with facts and figures on subjects indicating the progress of the Negro, giving to our young something to aspire to and to the parents something to be proud of. The race's struggle upward and forward. (By B. U. D. Brascher, Cleveland, O.) It is perfectly rational for much different proper way to celebrate in 1813 the fifteenth anniversary of the freedom of the Negro. However, I am favorably impressed with the exposition idea. Such an exposition, endorsed and assisted financially by the United States Government, I added opportunity to demonstrate to the world the advancement our race made. The world does not know, nor do we as a race. It would be unfortunate however, to have such a demonstration without also creating a permanent memorial of the occasion in Washington, near Anacostia, and the home of Freedrick Douglas made the center of interest to such an extent that it would ever afterward be a mecca for our people, as Mt. Vernon is to the whites, carrying out the idea suggested by Washington of older Hillary Clinton for this purpose. The opportunities for entertainment in Washington are unsurpassed. By Prof. John Hope, Atlanta Baptist College.) I believe that the fifth anniversary of Negro emancipation should be celebrated throughout the United States. There should be at some place easily accessible an exposition that would fifty and fully represent all the phases of the movement, and that would leave that this can be best done by having the management of this exposition in the hands of men from various walks of life, professional men, business men and craftsmen, and that the expression of various shades of opinion should be assessed by such committee as this would not only bring to pass a remarkable and adequate exposition, but would promote everywhere in the United States the celebration of emancipation. And I regard these local celebrations everywhere of us great thanks to you, and I believe that your faith would enhance a racial consciousness and pride that would be very helpful to us. (By Rev. J E Moorland, International Secretary, of Y. M. C. A.) NEW YORK, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22. 1910. RUFU8 GET8 A OHRISTMAS TREE BOSTONIANS BANQUET PROMINENT TUSKEGEEAN Booker T. Washington Guest of the Local Business League ADVOCATES RACE PRIDE Colored Citizens of Boston Advised to Take Advantage of Opportunities Offered In "Hub" City. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR Boston, Mass., Dec. 20.-Dr Booker T Washington advised the Negroes of Boston to solve the race problem and overcome such prejudices as may exist by succeeding in business, in a speech made at the Columbus Avenue A M. E. Zion Church, last Saturday, at the banquet tendered him by Boston Branch No 1, National Negro Business League. He said that the one thing all men respect is success, and if we fail in Boston, where there are so many opportunities, it would hurt the race all over the country, and that the race will be respected and honored in proportion, as it can point to successful men. Dr. Washington advocated race pride and advised his hearers to use their color to advantage where they could, pointing out that when a Negro is doing something big it is printed in the newspapers that he is a Negro, and he probably attracts more attention than a white man would. He illustrated by saying that if a Negro became the president of a bank on State street, headlines to that effect would appear in all the newspapers. Speaking further, he said, "We have a right, as is true of all races, to give some attention from time to time to the disadvantages under which we labor, and the wrongs which we suffer, but we should not let disadvantages on wrongs stand in the way of our realizing the opportunities that are right about our doors. The Negroes of Boston have severe competition, and in order to succeed it requires more energy and more brains than in the average community. Every year we people coming into Boston from Greece, from Austria, Germany and other portions of the world. They go into business selling points of apples when they can scarcely speak our language, and within a few years they own and control great cities and become drummers in prods and banks. Boston is within but under the rule that they cannot W H Lewis Speaks. H. L. Lewis and I am in the middle of the North and the South, and the people and the people and the people together the people and the people together the people and the people text that opposes and accuses and outrages, protects in the Negro and discourages the other races up and down, and makes a living by bringing up the ties of race antipathy. We are in inspiration of the first order, to see our distinguished friend and the best of the best and black citizens of the South, and the general acclaim accorded him when he carried the message of good will and peace between the races. Now peace has come between the two sections of the country, and never again will we see the Northern and the Southern white man go to arms for the sake of the Negro. Never will you see again, I believe, any considerable of men taking a propanganda for the enforcement of any rights which he may have. We have got to realize that our future lies in our own hands. Just as the sections have become reunited and there is peace between them, so they must be peace between the races in the country, or else there never will be any lasting permanent, abiding progress. This league of thiefless men has contributed more to the solution of this great American problem than any other organization in America—black or white, because you have not down to the bedrock of things—I have realized that the foundation must be laid in business. Lines of business, lines of industrial strife know and recognize no color line. You, with your skilled hand, trained mind, your brain, may accomplish in these lines what any other man may accomplish by force of character and brains. "A man will be recognized for what he is in so far as he has proven his worth and proven the possibilities of an individual to transcend the limitations of race or stock and reach out and achieve as other men have achieved and contributed to civilization. Just that proportion will we get ahead as a group." At Mr Washington's table sat P J Allston, president of the local league, H W Lewis, Dr S. E. Courtney, J R Hamm, Rev G W Johnson, Rev T W Henderson and W C Lovett, all of whom spoke. The toastmaster was James R Hamm. The banquet was prepared by Caterer John W Douglass of Cambridge, whose popularity continues to increase from day to day. The committee was W C Lovett, H J Lewis, H M Harding, T H Cox, Samuel Long, Daniel Hall, Gilbert C Harris, P Walthers and R H Shields. GETS $1.000 DAMAGES Pullman Car Porter Wins Suit In Which Justice Dugro Raised Race Issue—Court Upholds Views of Justice McCall. The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court affirmed a judgment for $1,000 obtained by George W Griffin a Pullman car porter against Daniel M. Brady president of a brass company and brother of Anthony N. Brady, because Brady had him arrested in Montreal in 1906 on a charge of stealing a pocketbook of which charge the porter was acquitted later. The case was heard before the Appellate Division for the second time. On the first trial the jury brought in a verdict for $2,500, but Supreme Court Justice Dugro set the verdict aside on the ground that it was too high. Justice Dugro ruled that in one sense a colored man was as good as a white man for the law says he is. But he has not the same amount of injury under all the circumstances that a white man would have. The Appellate Division ordered a new house of Justice Dugro's reason for settling aside the verdict and the second trial was before Justice McCall. McCall said to the jury: "I do not make the alleghent crime to us whether one of the dark men in white and the other in black have equal rights here and they are both entitled to arrest and even justice, nothing more and notting begg." It is this jury's verdict of $1,000 that is now sustained by the Appellate Division. COTTRILL APPOINTED Washington, Dec. 17.—President Taft has appointed Charles A.

Forty-second Annual Session of Grand Lodge Held at Raleigh ATTENDANCE BREAKS RECORD Four Hundred Delegates Present Annual Address of Grand Master McBary—To Meet Next Year at Greensboro. Special to THE NEW YORK AQB. Raleigh, N. C., Dec 20—The forty-second annual session of the Grand Lodge of F & A. A Masons that convened in this city last Tuesday was the greatest ever held by the fraternity in this state. The reports were unprecedented and the meeting was a harmonious one Greetings from similar bodies in Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina and Florida were received. There was over four hundred delegates present, representing three hundred and fifty-four lodges with a membership of over 10,000. The organization is composed of the leading men of the race in North Carolina. The fraternity has for its Most Worshipful Grand Master Prof R. B McCary, of Lexington, one of the leading men of the race, who is known for his scholarship and executive ability. Grand Master McRary, in delivering his annual address, said "We trust that there is not one in our number who shrinks from the call of duty when church, home and country bid the issue of the hour. To work and receive a master's wage is the unalterable right of every Master Mason, but there is a greater thing than winning a competency for one's self. A higher motive should impel us to make due preparation for the battle of life. The altruistic idea should find place—a sincere, unwavering purpose to serve our fellow men." The reports of the Grand Lodge officers showed the fraternity to be in an excellent condition. Col James H. Young, who has been the Grand Endowment Secretary for eight years and is beginning his ninth year, has done a remarkable work for the fraternity in this department. He has filled present position since it was instituted. His report showed that he had collected $40,129.94, and paid out for the $34,425. The aggregate amount collected for the eight years is $123,383.70 A standing vote of thanks and confidence was extended Colonel Young for his care and watchfulness over the funds being collected for master widow and orphan. A communication from Rt Rev J W Hood, known as the parent of the activities that gave the state the organization, created much enthusiasm on the part of the members of the order. The Grand Lodge officers and prominent members of the fraternity were banqueted by Shaw University. Dr C. S Brown, president of Water's Normal and Industrial Institute, Winton, N. C., was toastmaster for the occasion. The parade Thursday afternoon was a creditable one. Over six hundred men were in line. In the automobile of Rev W T Coleman, D D, M D, were Grand Master R B McRary, and several other Grand Lodge officers. The public exercises were held in St. Paul A. M E. Church. The annual oration by Dr J E. Dellinger, or Greensboro, was an eloquent and effective one. He clearly enunciated the principles that should characterize a good Mason which are demonstrated by efficient service in all walks of life. The speaker especially emphasized that all destroys of becoming a Mason must contribute to the principles of the organization that are a potent factor in keeping a well rounded man. For a suitable purpose $100 were raised in the public election. An answer was received Past Master John T Jowles of Washington, D C, and who is prominent in public affairs, whom he was introduced to the Grand Lodge. He was made prominent by being appointed member of several important committees the session were Dr James R Dullies, president of A. & M College for the Negro race in Greensboro, F E Chambers, P A Richardson, Grand Endowment Secretary of G U O of O F, J B Lotus, Grand Master of Grand Lodge of G U O of O F of this state, Dr James E.

Special to THE NEW YORK AOE Baltimore Mid Doe Mayor Mahood Monday signed the ordinance passed by the Democratic majority in the councils segregating Negro residents to certain sections. The city solicitor is of the opinion that the measure is constitutional, but Negro lawyers declare that they will carry the question to the United States Supreme Court. The Police Department has been instructed to enforce the law, which provides that any neighborhood in Baltimore City where 14 per cent of the population is white shall be known as a white neighborhood, and any neighborhood in which a similar percentage is colored shall be so designated. The law does not affect colored persons now residing in white neighborhoods. Any Negro moving into white neighborhood shall be tined $100. The ordinance was passed at the request of white property owners in neighborhoods in which property had greatly depreciated in value because of Negro invasion. If the Negrones take the matter to the courts the white property owners and neighborhood association will support the city in defense of the law. There has been considerable interest in the ordinance all over the eastern section of the country. Many Southern cities with a similar negro problem are anxious to see how the measure will work. A committee, composed of John H Murphy, Rev. W A C Hughes, Edward Lansey, and John Ritch, has been appointed to make preparations to have the ordinance declared unconstitutional.

Church thirty-eight years, and he is highly respected by the white people of the South Many of the representative Negroes of the race attended the conference and gave some very good counsel to the ministers in attendance.

Amiger conducted the opening exercises and delivered an address on "Man, the Theological Work of Creation," He emphasized the thought, that education made in the image of God, and that the highest object of an educating should be to bring out that God image that was within him so that intellectually and morally he might be like God. The subject was handled in a pleasing and masterly manner and the speaker drove his message home to the hearts of his hearers. He gave this motto to the student body, "cleanliness order, thoroughness," and in his usual fatherly way plended with them not to be satisfied until their training was complete.

Gilbert Leaving-Resignation Temporarily Withdrawn. At a special meeting of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, held Monday evening to consider the resignation of Rev. M. W. Gilbert as pastor, the members adopted resolutions refusing to accept Rev. Gilbert's resignation. The resolutions WHEREAS, Our dear beloved pastor, Rev M. W Gilbert, D. D, who has served us so satisfactorily, faithfully, courageously and efficiently the past six years, has insisted on our accepting his resignation which he tendered November 1, 1919; and WHEREAS, He gives as his reasons that he believes that the Holy Spirit has called him to another field; and WHEREAS, We as a Christian Church are always willing to bow to the will of the Holy Spirit when we believe implicitly in its direction, and WHEREAS, Knowing the weakness of humanity when it is forced to suffer even for the Lord's sake as has been the case of our dear beloved pastor, Dr M W Gilbert, and WHEREAS, The strongest, most faithful, most consecrated is liable to be mistaken under such trying conditions as these, and WHEREAS. Knowing the condition of our people in church as well as in state in this great and wicked City of New York with every device of hell continually before them, and WHEREAS. We recognize the fact that only a true disciple of Christ like the Rev M W Gilbert need hope to lift up the church and community to that high Christian character which our Blessed Redeemer the Lord Jesus Christ has ordained it, and WHEREAS. Realizing the fact that the work that our dear beloved pastor, Rev M W Gilbert, has so well begun among us will temporarily be retarded and probably nullified for the reason that our Baptist ministry has not reached that plane of perfection when we can readily fill his place therefore BE IT RESOLVED That the Mount Olivet Baptist Church while willingly bowing to the will of the Holy Spirit and praying forgiveness if it has erred do refuse to accept the resignation of our beloved pastor granting him that if he will go we will believe that he has acted according to his honour and sincere belief to which we are compelled to bow and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That a copy of those resolutions be sent to our pastor the Rev M W Gilbert, D D, a copy to the Trustees of the Mt Zion Baptist Church, Knoxville, Teen., also a copy to The New York Age the Christian Fanner and to the Trustees of the Mount Olivet Baptist Church Dr Gilbert, in consideration of the loyalty shown him by the members of Mt.

St. Mark's Church On last Sunday the puilpt was filled both morning and evening by the pastor Dr Brooks. His morning subject was the character and personality of Jesus. He took advantage of every opportunity for doing good, but went out of his way that He might be of service to suffering humanity was Dr Brooks control thought. The more we study His life the more we understand the best of us are far below the christ life. When we have done our best we are still far from His standard of life. Many individuals cease trying to live the christ life because they fail to understand the low state of morality among many so called christians has caused many of the unsaved to grow unloved or indifferent to the pastor. "Let us study Jesus and learn from him," the christian in our own lives. The clear light of the truth of Jesus will present in proportion as we get a clear conception of Him." In the coming Dr Brooks probed from his own life the right direction. The world cannot be better than you and I make it" said Dr Brooks. The Sathbath School the Icum and the Fountain League were attended and all were amply赞助 for having come out. Miss Lottie Wilson and her assistants deserve great credit for the fine collection served to the Trust Thursday evening. Of the items in the Trust Thursday evening, Lottie Cooke Simmons only and the occasion last Thursday in installing the newly elected officers. Many say that if was the best installation the Loomis. With the close of the old St Mark's will open a retail and we trust that it will be the greatest not only in the history of the church but in the history of the church. Will it remain a store for years? Will it surcender conscient to Jesus Christ that he may through the Holy Spirit present you for his service? Bishop Smith Issues Statement.

NINETEEN CENTURIES AFTER And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a Son and shalt call His name JESUS. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest, and the Lord God shall give unto him. And he will ordain, and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of His Kingdom there shall be no end' The story of the birth of Christ is the greatest theme in the languages. Talking to Mary, the Mother, the Angel spoke also to the sons of men forever, bringing them not only a Friend and Brother, to whom the mysteries of immortality and eternity were unfolded through powers that we have failed to grasp, and which we shall never know, but also a Redeemer, a child in simple faith and belief but in His mastery of the verities of existence, that was a sealed book against even those that were learned indeed. He was the marvel of His day. The ages since have witnessed the truth of Him growing everywhere, first through the unexplained conduct of Providence and then in the willing and uncoerced hearts of men. We cannot explain Him. No man has ever done that. His chiefest friends and apostles, who slept with Him and ate bread with Him and talked with Him face to face, could not explain Him. Two seasons are given to humanity to embrace the significance of His appearance to the speechless babe in its cradle, and to those who are about to "put to sea," and cannot look back. Many years have passed since Jesus was born, rather since He was sent to bring to drifting humanity the bow of promise and the plan of eternity from the Kingdom of which "there shall be no end." Shortly after He went away in the clouds, those in the immediate vicinity of His activities became divided as to who was chief of His earthly Kingdom. As His story spread through nation after nation, those who believed were persecuted by those who did not believe. Humanity is hooped with one chord, history shows us. His followers, who held themselves untrue if they were silent, forgot that He was a Man of Peace, who relied upon the intrinsic powers of His truths, and turned to slaying those who did not believe in Him. That was many years ago, and excepting in a few dark lands of ignorance, all that has been put aside. The preachers of His Word, and all who be Heve are preachers, have come to Him in His way of lifting the veil from the eyes of those that reject both Him and His Father, and from those who worship God while denying the sonship of Jesus. Militant Christianity is not a conquest of swords and blood, but before its army goes the torch of Truth. The older religions are everywhere giving way before the simple faiths of Christ, who was simple because He had all to tell and nothing to hide. The Christian religion sweeps ever onward. Wherever civilization reaches, that religion is known, and wherever it is known it is become the guide and hope of men. It is not only for the elders, but also for the children, like whom it was said we must all become before we enter into the joys which are the very basis of Christian hope. That is why Santa Claus will never die. Santa will ever live as long as childhood lives, it is the child's conception of the bountious love and generosity of Him who commanded that none should bid little children to fear His presence Christianity is still on trial. It will be on trial for centuries to come. Its philosophy embraces the noblest impulses of men; its actualities remain to be established. Many nations proclaim it the religion of the state. Its precepts are the text of laws and the rules of conduct, but it cannot live, it cannot become the one lever of hope until and unless the work may rise by it to the equal amount of single democracy where the government and where you are brothers, not in the abstract, but in deeds. A great French writer said that Christianity is the religion of the Saxons. That may be true, if it is true, may we not say that the chief of the earth earth has the noblest of all religions? In North America where the single democracy is on trial, and where as nowhere else every race and tribe are thrown together in the building of a newer civilization, Christianity is on trial. Those that are called the least in our civilization, the Negroes, in the spirit of the Master—forebearance, love, hope, charity, endurance—are first among the Christians. The rich propagators of the Gospel are oftimes least. Let us not despair. The gorgeous cathedrals erected to His name is sign enough that men here fear and love Him. That much gained, we may hope that the future will und Pharisee, Sadducee, Publican and all, acting Christ! Be of good cheer. Praise Him. Stand by that faith which is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. Carnegie is an atheist, so they say. His gitt of $10,000,000 to spread peace among the nations of the earth is sign enough for us that if he doesn't believe Christ, he has for Him great respect. Some one asked Napoleon if he believed in God. What a question," replied the soldier. "How could any man look at the stars, the moon and the sun, and see the waters flow and doubt God?" We will take the Master's words, spoken during the sojourn and look upon him on the Cross as He nobly rises above the ungrateful behavior of those that hanged and stabbed Him. Did He not there prove Himself to the Son of the Highest." DEMOCRATS IN THE SADDLE. The appointment of so many Democrats to high office by Mr Taft alarms many Republicans of the old school, of the same school as THE AGE, that sees but refuses to recognize the passing of parties, the breaking of lines, and the coming of a newer political group that will, we imagine, be called the American party, or by some such suggestive name The Richmond Planet, whose interesting editor long ago turned aside from politics to business, notes that there is some opposition, according to the newspapers, to the appointment of William H. Lewis as Assistant Attorney-General, and gives signs of fear that the selection will not ultimately be made THE AGE believes that it will be made, because President Taft said that he would make it, just as he said that he would appoint Charles Cottrill Collector of Internal Revenue at Honolulu, and despite protests, braggadocio and fustian threats, made it Mr. Taft may not all ways please us, and when he doesn't we tell him, but nevertheless he has will and courage behind that captivating smile. The Planet observes that the Southern Democrats have now a higher hand in public affairs, under a Republican administration, than they have ever had before, a much higher hand than they played under either of Cleveland's regimes. A Negro to get office under the present administration needs only the enlargement of the white South. With these recommendations in his hands he can prepare to enter upon the duties of his office even before his commission has been handed down from the President. The South is in the saddle at Washington, and a man is killed in the war who cannot see it, and a man is sitting in the plains of what is wanted, the present corps of Democratic leaders have not been pursued in the history of the world. This is a serious charge the Plant makes. It may, in part, be true, and comparatively it may not be true at all. The Ace knows, as many others know, that all the colored appointees under the present administration did not have, now they required to have, "the endorsation of the white South." Let all understand that we do not overlook in fluences apparent to those who read as they run But pray, how does the esteemed Planet harmonize that statement with the other equally interesting observation in the same outpouring of a heart heavy, laden, that the whole "business" again throws the limelight against the sufficient figure of the country's greatest Negro as a referee and dispenser of patronage. There is nothing rotten in Denmark, in fact we are not in Denmark at all, but two such strong statements in one breath are confusing to those given to beholding strange sights with both eyes wide open. The news letters from Washington being conspicuous because of the absence therefrom of the poetic and noble name of Dancy, we are justified in inquiring after the health and environs of the distinguished President of the Coming Back If He Can Club --- President Taft 12 to be the guest of honor at the Lincoln celebration at Springfield, February 12. Booker T Washington was the guest of honor last year. We understand that the gentleman from Alabama set a lively pace out there. THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1910 COTTRILL'S APPOINTMENT Just as he said some months ago he would do, President Taft has named Charles A. Cottrill of Toledo, Ohio, Collector of Internal Revenue at Honolulu, Hawaii. It took courage to do this, in the face of the sneers and threats of the white people of Honolulu, who have sought on every hand to embarrass the President, and who have influenced the natives to hot words about "social equality" and all that rot. The poor things seem not to know that what social equality the white people have given them, as they say, has been due to no desire on the white man's part to recognize merit and character by eating and taking an occasional drink with the Hawaiians, but rather to his desire to get hold of all the lands, all the money and all the public utilities of the island. He knew that the only way to do this without fussing and committing other disgrees in the name of the American flag was to placate the easy natives with soft words and sweet smiles. In bringing us the news of the appointment, the Sun said that the white people of Hawaii accept the half white natives as social equals. If this be true, it is more than the whites of North America do for their own blood at home. The Act dismisses the published rumor that the clerks in the Collector's office at Honolulu are planning to walk out when Mr. Cottrell walks in. The natives might possibly do that, but no white man is going to do it. And for every native that cuts that caper there will be twenty white men begging for his job. White people in Hawaii are no better than white people in New York and a more popular official with his force than Charles W. Anderson Turt. No does not know. Mr Latt in choosing Mr Cottrell does well, both by the parts and by Mr Cottrell's race. Ohio has always been proud of Mr Cottrell, his ability, his character and his public service, and his race has produced but few men his superiors as regards education, character and usefulness. It is in every respect an admirable selection. Mr Cottrell ought promptly to be confirmed by the Senate. The President we hope, will stand by his guns until Mr Cottrell is confirmed EDWARD M SHEPARD Since it is clear that a Democrat is to succeed Chancey M. Depew as Senator from New York, we are sure that the great body of colored people in New York State would prefer the election of the Hon Edward M. Shepard Mr. Shepard is a big honored clean Democrat, who has manifested his interest in the welfare of the colored people in any number of ways. Since the colored people of New York did a great deal to make the election of Mr. Shepard possible, we feel that our wish in this matter ought to carry some weight with the legislators at Albany. Mr. Shepard is a man who, by reason of his high character and great attunements, is far above racial prejudice and littleness. He is a man of big mind and soul. ANTICS OF A GOVERNOR ANTICS OF A GOVERNOR. Tolman's long and happy silence is broken not by any bad words out of the mouth of the Pitbull stockman. It is broken by an other gentleman from South Carolina this time the newly-elected governor of the state. Please by name. When Blise was elected a few months ago, the colored men of his "city" shot off a lot of shots about what a "graid and nobil man" he was. If we remember correctly, it was the Light of Columbus that said Blise's colored neighbors would now proceed to "shoot up" everything and drink all the state dispensary "bad humor," expecting their governor to back after them. The first public question to which Gov. Blise ad dresses himself is the Negro schools, of course. He wants the taxes divided equally between the races, so that the tax money that are paid in by Negroes will go towards the support of Negro schools, and the taxes that are paid in by white people will go towards the maintenance of white schools. Long ago the best thought and patronism of the country threw itself against this almost brutal policy, the imagination of which would sound the death knell of democracy. The New York / New Mexico meets Mr. Blise on his ground. Governor-elect House of South Carolina has recently announced a theory of politics which should not be allowed to pass unreubaked. It is nothing less than a division of the school funds of his State between the whites and the blacks in proportion to the taxes paid. The governor-elect House must governor-elect House intends it to mean, that the blacks shall not share equally with the whites in educational advantages, and that the blacks must be content with a lower quality of education than the whites. Governor-elect House is also fairly opposed to the education of the Negro beyond reading, and the first steps in arithmetic. Even in the South such a theory and such a practice are condemned. When this matter came up in debate in the Virginia Legislature more than a decade ago, the state's position gained, no standing whatever. The Negro should have for the education of his children what was needed, and that was to be measured by the needs of the white regarded of what was needed. The white or of the Negro, should be adapted, beyond the elements, to the probable needs of the pumil. In the South, especially, the Negro's education might well be largely industrial. But he should, at least, be well trained, and the South, which got his services for so many deceases for his keep, might give give him a square deal in the matter of education. In the main the State of giving him a square deal and the Governor-elect Bleece puts his State in a class almost by itself in his declaration. Upon this particular case the energetic rebukes of the Times to the hasty and thoughtless South Carolina politician is sufficient. In respect of the showing that the Negroes could make if their taxes were divided from the general taxes, in all the old slave states, and applied to their education fund, no disgrace is involved, for it has been proven in North and South Carolina that the colored people have not only paid in taxes what they have received in support of their schools, but have actually contributed thousands of dollars towards the education of white boys and girls. The end might, therefore, be much happier for Negro education. The principle, once adopted, would be the first step in a further demoralization of what is already a poor and almost ineffective school system. A few years ago the Supreme Court of Mississippi, the fairest of all of our tribunals, decided in a case brought before it, that a bill that passed the legislature to erect agricultural colleges for white boys and girls to be unconstitutional, because no provision was made for schools of that character for colored boys and girls, although the schools were to be supported out of the general tax. We imagine that same court would decide in the interest of justice if a case involving the unequal appropriations for the educational institutions of the state were brought properly before it. The Ace, however, has never heard of a colored man who complained because he thought a dollar or two of his taxes went to maintain a white school. The race isn't built that way. Without a murmur, almost without comment, the southern Negro has seen his money, paid in as taxes, appropriated to build Confederate monuments, and to pension Confederate veterans who fought to keep the Negro in slavery, and who give up the ghost of defeat not without bitterness NEW ORLEANS UNFIT The city of New Orleans, Louisiana is making a desperate effort to secure the Panama Exposition which is to be held within the next two or three years. Every colored man in America with the least degree of race pride in him, should make an earnest protest to the member of Congress from his district against voting a single dollar for an exposition to be held in New Orleans, San Francisco is also budding for this exposition. Every colored man should use his influence through his congressman to have San Francisco selected rather than New Orleans. We have a reason for this. New Orleans is the only city in the South that has made a deliberate and studied attempt to insult every colored man that rides on its street cars. For the time being we are not discussing the legality or wisdom of having separation between the races in the street cars of the South, although we are unalterably opposed to such separation, but just now we are directing the attention of colored people to the fact that New Orleans has not only provided for street car separation, but actually cages the colored people up in a small portion of the car in a way to make them feel that they are in a jail peeping through the bars. It is the most serious racial insult being practiced any where in the South. Now the colored people especially those residing in the North and West in doubtful congressional districts, whether their Congress is happy to be a Republican or Democrat, have it in their power to say where this expiration shall be held. If it is held in New Orleans no colored man with my idea of self respect can go to New Orleans. If he goes there he will either have to walk, or hire a carriage to get about the city, because certainly no colored man wants to be caged up in the New Orleans street cars. The Ace calls upon every colored man to write his congressman and to see to it that he promises to vote against New Orleans. There is no time for delay. Your congressman should be seen at once or written to and urged to cast his vote against New Orleans unless the city of New Orleans takes down these bars and ceases to disguise our race. We shall be glad to hear from those of our readers who may care to write us. We serve notice that we are going to keep up this fight through the present session of Congress, unless New Orleans agrees to take down the burs of separation. THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Three times in his message to Congress President Taft discusses matters pertaining to the interests of the colored people. He renews the recommendation made in his last message to the effect that Congress make proper provisions for the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the Negro's freedom. He also renews the request that Congress reimburse those who lost money because of the failure of the Freedman's Savings Bank. In addition to these two matters, he discusses at length what the State Department is doing in order to put into effect the recommendations made by the American Commission to the Liberian Republic. He states that plains are now being matured by the State Department in cooperation with the governments of England, France and Germany, which will soon place Liberia upon her feet financially and otherwise. Two swallows, they tell us, do not make a summer, and we know that to be true. Nor do two financial failures make a calamity Over against the few failures of colored men we put the hundreds of successes in financial undertakings in every section of the country The selection by Mr Taft of Cottrill of Ohio for high honors in the service of the government, is a neat compliment to the deserving colored people of Ohio. H C Smith, the galled jade, may now properly wince It seems to me that nothing could be a better augury of the future of this country than that a Republican President should appoint an ex-Confederate of opposite political faith Chief Justice of the United States and receive the unanimous applause of his countrymen — From Theodore Roosevelt's New Haven speech. President Taft's appointment of E D White over Republicans and loyalists to the Chief Justiceship has not "received the unanimous applause of his countrymen." Not a single colored citizen have we heard applauding with either speech or hand-clapping. Nor is THE Age satisfied that Mr Taft's countrymen are "unanimous" in upholding him in the selection of White. The press in the free states does not ring out as one voice in praise. NOTE AND COMMENT The editor of the Oakland Western Outlook likes to get around among the people of his state. He is a real editor. Recently he took a trip. For several weeks the Outlook has contained a story of the things he saw and the people he met. The best thing yet is his story of one of these "exclusive" sections of a city into which a Negro can't move. The editor tells how one of these sections fell into the hands of a colored man. This is the story. We are shown an exclusive district in Los Angeles which barred Negroes, Chinese and Japanese, where a staff pro is checked for lots, and where no house could be put up below a ceramic wall, and had been nearly all sold to a man handing the same could not come through and the mortgage was forclosed on him. But now comes a most extraordinary situation. A colored man lives in the same, and owns a house, and the face of pressure he will sell them to a person who can meet the requirements. Of course there is a howl, and he may lose some, but he says he is willing to take the chance and reach the real estate dealers a lesson. We were not told possibly omitted names, but we do take off our hat to this member of the race and say hurrah! The Brooklyn Times in its political columns lambes the absence of ability and statemanship in the Georgia Congressional delegation. Not only in the Georgia delegation, but in every one of the Southern delegation, there is an absence not only of ability but common sense. Usually a Southern man goes to Congress as a reward for abusing colored people. The Times is a great admirer of Grady, and thinks that, if he had lived, he would have made a great Speaker of the House, and gives us a happy description of Grady's last appearance in New York. Mr. Grady would have made great fun for a Speaker of the House of Representatives. Perhaps of all men " as in the public eye Martin Little, he will be almost. He was a little like to see a lot of the battle. " We spoke with that pleasing Southern accent that appeals equally the past and heart. On the way I was a good appearance before the end of the day he did was a past. " He did also was a past. " After all, we were not as the night was made. Reverently his lips were long closed in death gave utter- to expressions of love and de- tion for the kind of the South. I was very much so that he said " The South by father he said ' though he asked it at his hand I love it because it is my country and because it stands proudly and gloriously in the light while other things are not in the light. I love it because my State stood to when the flag took on its fifth start and then entered to help defend the newly born public, and that now 100 years afterward she stands ready to take the place of the United support that she gave when she was one of but five States. As much as I have revered this Government I have never appreciated its satellite beauty as I have during the past three days. I would like to see the long time ago when we were poor in the South from Washington to New York and while the little fellow is curled up in my arms he said: " Papy what do you want me to do when I get to be a man? " But when I was a young woman, I got a great voyet life to the service of your country until Georgia's blooms as Penn's slin in does to dry " At a recent meeting of the Tuskegee Seminar, W. A. Hazel of the institute finally read a paper on the "Negro's Contribution to American Life." It was a hope and hopeful production, abounding in much thought and even in speech. Mr. Hazel believes that the Negro will contribute something worth while to North American civilization. Among other things he said. I have sometimes thought that the Negro has been preserved for some high mission in the heart of the day the service to America the world. He has given which indicate that he may be deserved to be the repositories of virtues to be held in trust just as the Holocaust people were given which blossomed in the birth of the great Nazarets to the regeneration of the world and just as learning and the arts found refuge among the Monka of Europe until the Age to come forth with renewed vigor in the great Renaligance. Does there appear to be any so this basis for the here or so is it that the N�ra will bring any new topic to the begins of writing. It is not to be made to it if he does not, there must be an original departure from the path, to the end of the other youthful, not to say primitive peoples, in their development. The history of all such peoples shows that the emotional nature was always the first to press for utterance, and in the case of the area as the medium through which it and the others have been. Negro lives close to nature as have all youthful races, for though the black race has a history that runs back of the Pyramids and the Sphinx, and is lost in the shadowy background of Ethiopia. It is essentially a youthful race Young in that its vigor of body and mind are unimpaired, not yet having realized life. Young because it is sophisticated, and unpoilled by the complex civilization which transforms the natural man into artificial creature. The Negro still has about him something of the freshness of the clod out of which the Creator fashioned the first man, and art ever needs the simple directness and frankness of the speech of the youth, in order to express self, clearly. When the language becomes sophisticated it deteriorates, the artificial, languishes and dies. THE STORY Written for THE NEW YORK AGE. "Tell us a story," the children said, "As they gathered 'round my alice; 'Tis cold to-tight and we really dred To leave the warm fireide."

In 1911, he was appointed to the Trial and Morning General Wickersham are to be congratulated. Time will prove that no mistake was made. Mr Lewis is a big man and an able lawyer. His educational attainments are splendid and his legal training and experience fit him for this role. He be to amply fit him for this role. He raised about his not being able to fit in and accommodated himself to social conditions at the national capital is too foolish for consideration. Mr Lewis is a man of the Booker Washington type and no man in America who can adjust himself to social conditions wherever he might be placed - Spokane Citizen. On Constant Whining. The time for the Negro to be whining and spending his time in complaining has passed and he should now be taking his time in making his way over all remaining obstacles. After forty years greatest known to the civilized world, he should have so impressed himself upon its affairs and institutions that he would only have time to help push ever onward his marvelous progress. He should have the time legging somebody to give him a cloak and to open the door of opportunities to him instead of taking a chance and throwing open wide the doors himself, would not use a chance to get himself into the opportunity of the same were offered to him. The man who is making his way in this complex civilization of this country is not the man who is constantly bemoaning his position, but is the man who has disgusted with his condi- tion and removed the same. The Negro has spent too much time in complaining about what somebody is doing to him or what some person will not permit him to do. Let no man make you afraid and for far and no farther, let no man mark out your sphere of activity, but shape your own destiny and make your own way in spite of hell and the grave this country to keep the black man down if he will but raise his head and say I will. It is quite disgusting to hear a people constantly crying for help, and a person would help their opportunities, the help they opnities. The Mountain Leader. CLEAR THE WAY. The crest and crowning of all good Life a final star, is brotherhood. For it will bring again to earth Her long hot poes and mirth With her new light on every face. A kingly face upon the reef, And till it comes we men are slaves. And travel downward to the dust of graves. Come clear the way then, clear the way. Blind eyes and kings have had their day. Our hope is in the aftermath. Our hope is in heroic men Star-led to build the world again To this event the ages ran. Make way for brotherhood—make way --- A BOOK OF THE WORD (From the Brooklyn Times) Many men praise about their belief in the brotherhood of man. Organizations set themselves up as being extremely liberal. They pretend at least to throw their doors open to all seeds and colors. Yet at times these will arise incidents which will give ground for the charge that they are blessed to some extent. Take the labor union, for instance, they claim to be doing a work for common humanity. They preach the doctrine that all men are equal. Yet the colored laborers of the land say that they cannot get into the unions, especially in the Northern cities. Take the churches, under influence of modern thought they pretend to throw open their doors to all people, and yet everynow and then an act of disrespect will be displayed toward some class of citizens that will startle those who had been lulled into sweet security which perfect harmony has created. It is not often that a man has the opportunity which came to ex-Judge George L. Fox, who died on December 5, in the eighteenth year of his life, at the eastern home of Taylor street, in the eastern district of York, in its issue of yesterday the Brooklyn Times carried a full account of the remarkably wide and generous gifts which he made. He died a very rich man. He had always lived a modest life of the poor, but fortune began to accumulate, the speed of the dollars rolled up was rapid. Mr. Fox, if he is to be judged by his last testament, was a man with a broad love for humanity. It may be said he been as broad as American citizenship, so he gave it wealth to bestow and he gave it far wide among the numerous Brooklyn institutions which are doing the work of charity and religion. He stopped at no church door. He entered the palace and synagogue. He bestowed palms to the children upon the Negro child. He gave to Jawahir as to Gentile. Although he was a Roman Catholic, he gave freely to Protestant organizations. Although he had deep religious convictions he believed that the child was a purely secular nature, object to care for the poor and needy because they are poor and needy, and not because they believe in this or that dogma. In short the will of ex-Judge Fox stamps him as a man of a sympathy bounded by his confines of the city within which he lived. In later years he lived quietly and went up and down the streets of the eastern district in a dignified and unassuming manner. He talked with his friends and public affairs. He had seen William burg grow from a village into the greater Brooklyn and later into the Greater New York. As his years accumulated he gave up his more direct institutions with which he had managed men formed associations. Few knew him as a very rich man. Man must have been surprised at the size of his fortune. And few if any would deserve for him the credit he deserves for his all-pervading love for his fellow man. Some special service for this noble man should be held, preferable in some eastern district church, that the priest should be present, may be shown. He left no family to mourn about his life. The places of those who went before him should be taken by the representatives of the church, institutions to which he gave no freely. NOTES ABOUT TOWN Even if one has to go some blocks out of the way it will pay to visit the wine store of Ed Greenhoot on Eighth avenue between 47th and 48th streets to make Christmas purchases. Greenhoot's is not only one of the best wine stores in that section of the city, but also one of the best merchants in New York. He has been for a long time in the present place and his neighbors speak highly of him. He is a particular favorite among the colored people in his neighborhood and is deeply interested in their progress. Go spend a dollar at the store and not a dollar on money's worth but show your appreciation of him. He operates no bar, but simply a family wine house. Saw a lot of Brooklyn people about twenty or more in West 53d street last Sunday. What did that mean? And have you ever noticed that Brooklyn is the least when they are in New York. Proof J. H. Torbert of Georgia is in the city in the interest of his school at Ft Valley Ga. Mr Torbert is one on the most successful school prince in the country, and many friends among the wealthy people who do a great deal for his work.

Dec. 18. — Pastor Russell of Brooklyn Tabernacle was here today. He addressed large audiences in the Opera House. He had excellent attention. We report one of his discourses from the following text: "Cast not away Our English word confidence is a synonym for faith. It is a very pretty thought that we should not cast away our faith, but hold firmly to it and gain a reward. This thought is expressed elsewhere in the Scriptures, but it is not the thought of our text. Here the word confidence more properly signifies assurance or out-spokenness, courageous presentation of a message not always kindly received. The Apostle is urging the followers of Christ to be of good courage, or, in the language of the Savior, that they should not put their "light under a bushel, but on a candlestick," where it would shine out for the blessing of men. ... There is a practical side to the Gospel. Everything enjoined upon the followers of Christ and all their trying experiences in life are wisely intended to work out for them character-development of good, firm, fine texture. It is a mistake to think, as some of us have thought in the past, that it is the will of God that we should merely hear of Christ and give a nominal ascent to the message of his death as our Deuterem and turn from outward forms of sin—and then, contented with our progress, help others to the same low standards. The Father Does the Drawing. The Father Does the Drawing. Quite to the contrary, the teachings of Jesus and his Apostles ignore the world as a whole and merely seek for a special class with hearing ears and appreciative hearts. The Gospel message set forth in the Bible knows nothing of the ordinary mission work of rescuing drunkards and hariots and the profane. While not refusing publishes and hariots it did not go about asking them. It waited for them to ask for righteousness and, as the Master said, "No man can come unto me except the Father which sent me draw him"; "and whosoever cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out" John v1, 87, 44, 65). As a matter of fact, those who came to the Master and those who have been interested in his message ever since, have not, in any large proportion, been the rich, the great, the learned, the noble, according to the course of this world, but chiefly the poor, rich in faith to ward our God. Take as an illustration St. Paul's course when he went to Athens. We do not find that he started a mission Sunday School and offered the children the prospects of a picnic or a Sunday School treat, in order to gather them for a half hour's talk about nothing. "To keep them off the street." Neither did he seek out the drunkards in the slums and establish a slum mission. On the contrary he sought the ear of the intelligent classes, the think ing classes, irrespective of their wealth or station. Why? Because he had a message—a message which children could not understand, a message which drunkards were incapacitated from understanding, a message which should appeal, if at all, to the best people of Athens, which rich or poor Have we not had, to a considerable extent, the wrong idea? Are we wiser than the Lord and the Apostles and able to give them pointers as to methods instead of following their example, as we were instructed to do? They proclaimed the Second Coming of Messiah and the establishment of his Kingdom. They preached that the very object of his Reign of Righteousness for a thousand years will be the putting down of sin in its every form and the lifting up of poor, fallen humanity. They taught that there was danger of attempting to make a prosexy and really doing more harm than good thereby. They taught that the special work to which God a people are now commissioned as ministers or servants of Christ is the proclaiming of the Gospel—"the Good Tidings of the Kingdom"—not the proclaiming of eternal torment nor the attempt to drive the world of mankind from sin through fear. They taught that the work of this present Age is the selection from amongst mankind of the Bridegals, to be Messiah's associates in his Kingdom, for the blessing of all the world. It is this message of the goodness of God that our text declares should be preclaimed with courage, with hold稳, with outspokenness. A Great Flight of Afflictions St. Paul is criticising some who had for quite a time been Christians and who had been granted large opportunities for growth in grace and knowledge. He says to these, "For the time ye ought to be teachers, but ye need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the doctrine of Christ." They had lost the first principle. above. These last points, accompanied with many philosophies and their own wisdom was in a few places. Christians are very similar. After eighteen centuries of Dythee instruction and with the wonderful Bibles now at our command and with helps for Bible study, what manner of Christians ought we to be—in faith, in love, in obedience! St. Paul points out the necessity for the Lord's people to assemble themselves together for fellowship and for the study of his Word and to preveys one another to love and good works. The necessity for this, he suggests, is that sin on the part of those who have received a knowledge of the Truth and been made partakers of the Holy Spirit is a much more serious matter than the same conduct would have been before they came into the precious relationship of spirit-begotten children of God. He says, "For if we sin after that we have received a knowledge of the Truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of condemnation and fiery indignation which shall devour us as God's adversaries" (verses 28, 27). Have we grasped the import of the thought? It signifies that those of us who have accepted the Divine terms and entered the family of God will have no future opportunity in another life. We must either make our "calling and election sure" under the terms of the call, as accepted, or be rejected as unworthy of life everlasting—as fit for the Second Death—annihilation. He who despised Moses' Law died without mercy. But he who, having come to a clear knowledge of the Truth, shall be found a willing sinner, will not only be cut off from a further opportunity in the present Age, but be everlastingly cut off from life, destroy ed. "God is able to destroy both soul and body"—the present life and our future hope. These thoughts should make very earnest, very diligent, all who have accepted Christ and been accepted by him. Nevertheless Be Not Discouraged. These things were written, not only for the Hebrew Christians of St. Paul's day, but intended by the Holy Spirit for all the household of faith. We should not rock ourselves to sleep, nor give to each other opiates. While the world is not yet on trial for eternal life, the Church is now being tested—for life or death eternal. The thought should sober us. As the Apostle suggests, "Be diligent, be sober," be faithful, following in the footsteps of Jesus. But St. Paul or, rather, the Holy Spirit through him, took cognizance of the fact that the Lord's people are in a world that is "no friend to grace to help them on to God." The Apostle recognized that we might become discouraged with our own faults and weaknesses. Hence, after carefully exhorting to faithfulness and energy and after pointing out the dangers of slothfulness and of being ever-charged with the cares of this life and the desicfulness of riches and thus leasing the spirit of Christ, he turns from this threatening attitude and uses encouraging words He says, "all to mind the former days in which, following your illumination of the Holy Spirit, you endure a great sight of afflictions." St. Paul's intimation is that at that time, while suffering persecutions, the brethren were really in a better, more alive, spiritual condition than later. The prosperity, privileges, freedom from persecution enjoyed, had made them slothful and less courageous. He would have them and us call to mind the victories won in the past, that we might have courage for the present and the future. How gracious, how helpful are all the provisions of our God for those who now hear his call and seek to walk in Jesus steps? To these he guarantees that every experience of life which his providence shall permit shall work for good, for blessing, for valuable experience and education along lines of righteousness and character development Two Classes of the Faithful In time of war not all can go forth as soldiers. Some, unfit for such service, may perform a useful part at home supporting, encouraging, sending supplies to those at the front, etc. And so it is in the army of the Lord: Jesus is the Captain of all those who voluntarily enlist as soldiers of the cross to battle against sin, especially in themselves-fighting a "good fight of faith" and overcoming the spirit of the world which surges all about them, threatening to overwhelm them as New Creatures in Christ. St. Paul intimates a strong persecution, openly manifested by the worldly-spirited, Satan deceased people of God. He says, "Ye endured a great fight of afflictions, partly whilst ye were made a gazing stock both by reproaches and afflictions and partly whilst ye became companions of them that were so used. For ye and compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spotting of your goods" (verse 32-34). St. Paul and others prominent amongst the Lord's followers naturally would receive the brunt of Satan's attacks. It is presumed that the Epistle of which our text is a part was written while St. Paul was a prisoner at Rome. Fellow Jews, so far from being sympathetic for a countryman, reproached him as a traitor, unorthodox, seeking to tear down the work of God and to ignore the Divine promises belonging to Israel and their sacred traditions. By the Romans, too he was regarded with suspicion, as one giving allegiance to another King. Jesus, and not therefore disposed to use his Roman citizenship specially for the pride and glory of the Empire. St. Paul declares that thus himself and those who espouse the cause of the Correspondence that is sent to this office written at the request of the office is printed on the back. and the fortunate, and unarmed by the may God, we are exposed by the him and disproportion of the earth which merely covers the earth, but which all would like to get rid of, as the darkness always hates the light and needs to quench it and ruthen completely only when all lights are extinguished. Christians, far and near, either by expressing sympathy for the Apostle or fellowwhipping with him, or by defending him from the unjust and malicious slanders circulated against him, thereby exposed themselves to similar reproaches and disbeem, opposition from their neighbors etc. History tells us of various terrible persecutions of the Christians by the Roman Emperor. It declares, for instance, that to gratify his depraved mind Nero, the Emperor, caused a certain portion of the city of Rome to be burned by incendias and that when he found how angry the people were he blamed the entire matter upon the inoffensive Christians — partly, no doubt, because these had no friends, either at court or amongst the people. They could be blamed with impunity and the Emperor's own vicious criminality would thus be hidden. On this account hundreds of Christians were publicly and brutally put to death. "Great Recompense of Reward." Poor human nature finds it difficult to stand alone with God and with the few who are on his side—the side of righteousness and truth. When, additionally, there comes persecution it tries their hearts, prevents their loyalty. This is exactly what the Lord designates. He is now seeking a special class of overcomers to be joint-heirs with his Son on the spirit plane as the Bride of Messiah. Through these he intends shortly to grant to Israel and, through Israel, to all mankind glorious blessings of instruction and restitution. To be qualified to thus serve in the instruction and uplifting of humanity it is necessary that these called ones should be of strong character—copies of their Master, in the spirit of their minds. To these he says, "To that overcometh will I grant to with me in my throne, even as I overcome, and am set down with Father in his throne" (Rev. ill. 21) We can readily see how some of the more prominent followers of the Lord who suffered martyrdom because of their loyalty to the principles of righteousness and to the name of Jesus would be accounted overcomers and members of the Kingdom class. But sometimes it is difficult for us to discern clearly how the less prominent, less persecuted ones stand with God. St. Paul's argument proves that they stand well—that God counts them in as martyras, as faithful unto death, if they have the martyr spirit, if they are loyal, courageous for the Truth, even though they never seal their testimony at the stake, even though they never are counted worthy of open, or public opposition or persecution. Here is an encouragement for all and this is exactly what St. Paul would stimulate us to in the words of our text. We Must Let the Light Shine. He says, "Cast not away, therefore your outspokenness, which hath great excompense of reward." The Lord has ot promised a great reward to us for merely believing, merely trusting, and in a cowardly manner keeping our light hidden, lest its exposure should bring to us persecution or reproach. He seeketh not such. Such will not be counted worthy of a place in the Kingdom which is to bless the world St. Paul elsewhere declares, "If we deny him, he will also deny us" (II Timothy 11, 12). If we have accepted the Lord in our Counselor, Guide, Captain, Teacher, Exemplar Bridegroom, he expects of us courage to confess him as such and on all suitable and proper occasions to let our light so shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify our Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 11, 10). Our good works are to so accord with the Master's teaching that, however we may be represented by others, all who know us intimately will take knowledge of us that we have been with Jesus and have learned of him. They should also see that our courage, our boldness, our outspokenness, is not a desire to preach ourselves, not valgory in ourselves, but that, on the contrary, we preach Christ and the glorious message of his Word, which always has brought opposition and persecution from the Adversary and from all who are under his blinding influence. Every faithful follower of Jesus must be a confessor—must show his colors. We do not mean by this that he must be belligerent and fight a carnal warfare, either with swords or spears or hands or tongue. On the contrary, like his Master, he must ever be alert to do good. His orders from the Captain are, "Speak evil of no man." What he must speak forth and show forth by his life is the doctrine of Christ—the Truth, the Light, in contrast with the prevailing Error and Darkness. The reward which the Scriptures hold before our eyes of faith is so great that, to the worldly, it seems foolish to believe in it. It is to consist of a share with our Lord in his glory honor and immortality. In his Mediatorial Kingdom soon to be established, in his great work as the Mediator of the New Covenant in granting Divine blessings, through the merit of the better sacrifices, to the people of Israel and eventually through them to all mankind. Not all have a knowledge of this great reward, not all, therefore have the encouragement to faithfulness which this knowledge inspires. Not all even have the ears to hear. It is written, "The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him and he will show them his Covenant" Psalm xxv, 14.

I am aware that this suggestion will probably raise the cry of "sectionalism," but as the status of the race will be determined in a large measure by the status of the mass, I make this suggestion. I will receive the consideration which I honestly believe it deserves. (By W. R. Postiford, President, National Negro Bankers' Association.) As to the proper method of celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the freedom of Negroes in 1918, my idea would be to better inform the members of all races who have for a century been discussing the accessibility of the Negro, we should make this exhibition bear in mind the social opportunities by our accomplishments in the fifty years. Therefore, the following is suggested for the exhibition. Class of exhibits: 1 Mechanical. 2 Inventions; percentage. its degree. 3 Education; diversifications, music and art. 4 Christianity, percentage; productions, men, lifelong and educational and educational organizations. 5 Possessions; homes; farms; property, business, mechanical, mercantile; finances. Methods of exhibition. 1 Pictures and art galleries, giving all classes of exhibits, using a large moving picture show. 2 A chorus class for daily use. which includes kinds of instruments. 4 A lecture, with a diversification of subjects. Suggestions. In the lectures the Negro's faithfulness in political office; his loyalty to his flag and country; his disposition in general; his rate of advancement in contrast to other races; his beard; his attitude; his attitude should be secured with associated presses to transmit and condense the information to the world. Co-operation should be sought for the newspapers and magazines for the same reason. It is important to show the South the convenience of the colored people and the Southern whites. (By Bishop A. Grant.) (By Jesse Lawson, President, National Sociological Society) The capital of the first anniversary of the emancipation of the slaves in the United States should be on a scale commemorate with the progress of the colored people during the last fifty years and should be so planned and conducted as to spell, in the name of the man who formed LIFT NEY for the race minister of the American flag. Everyone who desires to do so should be given a chance to participate in the celebration. Whatever scheme is adopted should with a view to showing the capabilities of the nation to do that. A national exposition at the capital of the nation would, perhaps be the most satisfactory way of celebrating the event and would, in my judgment, be the productive of the best results, the would arouse the people and elevate them to the highest colored American's contribution to industry to art and science, to literature and statesmanship, to religion and the uplifting influences in human society could be brought to the world at this exposition in a manner which would be impossible without it.

ADVERTISE IN THE AGE AMERICA AND THE MOB SPIRIT Is lynching symbolic of America? I have been asking myself this ques- tion ever since I had the honor of attending the premier of Giacomo Puccini's "The Girl of the Golden West" ("La Fanciulla Del West"), at the Metropolitan Opera House on the evening of December 10. The day after the first performance, the opera was the principal topic of conversation. Critics used up a large quantity of ink in giving their respective views on the first grand opera to be composed by a foreigner and produced in America before getting a presentation abroad. The lovers of grand opera—those who had been fortunate to witness the opening also exchanged opinions in animated fashion. The occasion was truly memorable one. Puccini had come all the way from Italy to hear his new piece sung for the first time, David Belasco, who wrote the drama on which the opera was founded and staged the production, was, on hand, Arturo Toscanni, whose fama as a director is world wide, wielded the baton. Then there were Caruso, Destinn, Amato and a score of prominent singers who had been selected to sing the various roles. That the audience was a large and brilliant one, four thousand persons being present, and that the management realised something like $20,000 from the sale of tickets, were notes of interest graphically told by the reporters. Of the musical value of the piece, its harmonic structure, the effectiveness of the score and the richness of the melody, they were features intelligently and admirably discussed by sure enough critics of music. "Real American Plays" Deal with Lynching. While I was struck by the operatic side—the music of "The Girl of the Golden West," I must admit that I was impressed more with the dramatic incidents that went to make up the piece. In the third act especially was my attention attracted by the dramatic force which seemed to overshadow the operatic effects, and which occasioned me to ask the question Is lynching symbolic of America? In recent years the productions advertised extensively as bearing the brand of "the American play" have dealt with lynchings. Last season Edward Sheldon's "The Nigger," was produced at the New Theatre and the drama was heralded as the great American play. During the presentation of the play a Negro is pursued by an infuriated mob captured and lynched. Thanks to Mr Sheldon, the gruesome work of the mob is committed off stage and the poison is not treated to the sickening spectacle of a human being put to death by band of men who result the statue works and defy the authorities. While the critics unanimously agreed that "The Nigger" was very realistic in fact too much so in the new opera "The Girl of the Golden West" the producers go Mr. Shaddon and his colleagues one better, by presenting a lynching scene on the stage for the occasion" of the audience. Happily Johnson, sung by Caruso, is rescued in the nick of time by his sweet art, Minnie, Emmy Destinion, but before Minnie covers herself with glory as a heroine the audience is given a pretty idea of what constitutes a lynching beet. It is certainly a bit of education for those who aspire to become conversant in the art of lynching Of course Johnson does not meet death at the hands of mob law, but many a prisoner in a similar plight would die of fright rather than strangulation, as Johnson dangles uncomfortably from the limb of a tree for several minute, with a rope around his neck that shows sufficient familiarity to breed contempt How Did Puccini Become Inspired? There are other plays not worthy of giving public mention on the board to day which lay claim to public favor because of the true American spirit they represent, a lynching scene invariably being one of the dramatic incidents What would probably be a piece of interesting reading would be a published interview by Pucuron on the subject "How I became inspired to write the opera 'The Girl of the Golden West.' He would likely tell you that he selected the drama written by Mr. Patel, because the piece was strict's American and that it contained a lynching scene which was the embodiment of the American spirit. In the so called American productions presented to date all geographical bound areas have been obliterated. Some of the lynchings take place in the South centers in the West, and so on. In several of the plays colored men are victims of mob law, and a white man will be lynched now and then in another piece. So, as the authors do not make any difference as to race or section, I cannot be charged with writing this art! MUSIC AND THE STAGE LESTER A. WALTON. le to raise the cry of color prejudice. There seems to be no drawing of the color line (or rope) in the writing of plays involving lynching scenes, as for instance, Johnson in "The Girl of the Golden West" This country may not be as closely associated with lynchings as some of us think, but I cannot help but asking the question over and over.

If so, how? This, and similar questions have been propounded to me many times during my travels through the South. I must admit that the scope of the subject is too large for me to discuss authoritatively. The Southern Negro is intensely interested and reasonably so in anything appertaining to the ultimate mental, moral, physical and spiritual redemption of the colored race. It has been our good fortune to please most of our Southern audiences, and in every town of any consequence, people have remained after the show to thank us for the influence for good any first class colored company exercises on a Southern community, not only does it stimulate race pride and ambition, but it increases the respect for Negro ability a fact the Southern white man is forced to concede.

In they are consistent they will book only such shows as they would have their mothers, wives and children sea. All "honkey tonk" amusement places should be abolished by city ordinance, as an abomination to public decency. Managers of shows should accept no play which contains vulgar suggestions or appeals to the baser passions of an audience. Performers should be booked with a thought to their character and department, as well as artistic ability. Gambling and drunkenness should not be tolerated. I hope to see the time when it will be as hard for a "boozer" or otherwise undesirable performer to join a show as to join a church or our best fraternal organizations. In this way the Negro on the stage will become a most important factor towards uplifting the race. MINSTRELS TO PLAY HOWARD THEATRE.

WALTON/ N a game played a few days ago in Havana between the Detroit team of the American League and the Havana nine, the natives went wild when Mendez, the crack Cuban pitcher, struck out Ty Cobb. As Cobb came to the island bearing the reputation of being the star player of the American League, the Cuban fans have been anxious to see one of their pitchers strike out the "Georgia Peach" When Cobb made his first appearance at bat he made a home run and two singles, but since the first game he has not lambasted the horse-jade at a terrific rate. In the last game between the Havana team of the Detroitts, Cobb set the local enthusiasm wild by missing three good ones thru by Mendez. Although the home team was defeated the fans did not care as Ty Cobb had gone through the unusual spectacle of striking out. Billy Evans, in writing to the New York Times on the national game in Cuba, says "The Tigers took with them the unique distinction of being the only team that has ever won a series of games from the Cuban teams on Havana soil. Twelve games were played, of which the Detroit team won seven, lost four, and tied one. "The former American League champions got away to a good start, defeating the Havana team in the opening game by the lopsided score of 10 to 2. In the second game the Tigers shut out the favorite Cuban team, the Almendar lilies, by the score of 3 to 0. The two opposing successes were followed by three defeats in a single run and a tie game. The Tigers bruised and won five out of the last six games, after being held a trifle better than even in the first six games of the series. There is no denying the fact that it takes an American team some time to get acclimated, and the Detroit Club had evidently just struck its gait as the series came to a close. Early in the series the hard hitting Therks failed to do anything to spike at the bat, but in the last few games they hit the leather to all parts of the field most of the drives being for extra bases. The scores of the games which no doubt will interest the fans in the States were as follows: Detroit in Hayward 2 Detroit 1 Almohares, 0 Detroit, 2 Hayward 1 Detroit, 1 Almohares, 2 (even innings) Detroit 1 Hayward 2 Detroit 2 Almohares, 2 (even innings) Detroit 4 Hayward 2 Detroit 3 Almohares, 0 Detroit, 2 Hayward 3 Detroit, 3 Almohares, 2 (even innings) Detroit 12 Hayward 4 Detroit 1 Almohares, 3 Three games were shut out four games were decided by one run one game was tied and three contests went over time. Quit a series. The Almaldire team is not without its freak player. The favorite Havana team has its line up just about the Lakers' best baseball player in captivity. The gentleman in question answers to the Spanish name of Castillo, and when in condition tips the scape in the neighborhood of 200 pounds. A very good Castillo won a $'200 prize in one of the lotteries of Cuba, and as a result he has been living on the fat of the land. At present he weighs about 100 pounds he plays the initial sack to right good style. It is hardly probable that Owner Frank Larrillo of the New York Americans would consider a trophy at Hal Chase for the corpulent Cuban. Things have been breaking. A baseball way for Castillo struck it rich in the lottery. Last year he led the Cuban league in batting he felt to make a great base hit in the entire Detroit series of two games. Evidently easily gotten rushes are not conductive to a good batting eye. Ler American colored players are present taking part in the Cuban pastime. They are Pete Hill Sam Lloyd Grant Johnson and Catcher Petty. During the summer these player boys are members of the famous Island courts of Chicago. These four player boys have very much in ex- cellence in the victories scored by the Havana club over Detroit. Their classless work in all departments and in possible for the Havana Club will break in the six games. All four will remain in April playing in the Cut in 10, which opens on October 25. Basketball Notes last a game this season and a battle royal is looked for Michigan Casino New Year's afternoon between the St. Christopher Club and St. Alphonis Cup.

The Hotel Bellmen's Beneficial Association an organization established in 1895 by a number of public spirited men prominent in hotel circles for the purpose of securing employment for its members and caring for them and withholding their death and death will hold its annual election on December 28th. The Bellmen elect their officers by means of a ballot similar in every respect to that used in municipal elections. Two tickets are placed in the field headed by the strongest man in the organization. This gives the voter the liberty of splitting the ticket or voting it straight, and it is probable that the result this year will carry with it some of the same interest as the previous year. While other unfair means are not resented in these elections, always afford the members friendly simulation. The interest will run higher than any perhaps in it at all at any time since the death of its forerunner, the John A T Stewart because of the charm and popularity of the merger on both tickets. Ballot No. 1 is headed by Nicholas Battle head hallman and news agent of the Hotel Worth. Second street and Fifth avenue considered to be one of the most successful hotel men of this while he is opposed by Thomas H. Alston the present executive widely known and extremely popular smokers.

PROGRESS IN MANY SCHOOLS (Continued from Page 11) ments in the various departments of the university has been done by colored mechanics, and students have been employed in considerable numbers. Prof. G. Warders the superintendent of the men's institute and the united plans for the Tupper Memorial and supervised its construction. He also prepared the plans for the new hospital and the enlarging of the Leonard Medical Building, and is supervising the work and will have charge of all it. It would be difficult to find more united and harmonious facilities than those who provide over the various departments of Shreve's University. The students are fine types of young men and women. Rarely can there be found a student that so generally deport themselves to the satisfaction of their instructors and the approval of the community. Talladega College. Talladega College, Talladega, Ala. began the year 1910-11 with the largest teaching force in its history, in all thirty-nine officers and teachers and students. But it has never been so full as this year. Our total enrollment last year was 740 and we are likely to run over this number in our enrollment of 1910-11, and a considerable part of this in our higher departments. Two fine new buildings have been opened for use equipped with all modern improvements - Andrews Theological Hall and a hospital and nurse training school. The school contains class rooms and dormitories and is named after the Rev Dr G W Andrews, for many years Dean of the department, now retired on the Carnegie Foundation. The theological department is now the time to this work and the department offers advantages in building, equipment and courses of study that cannot be duplicated in the South This is the only theological school maintained in the south by congregationalists for the benefit of the people. The hospital and nurse training school, is putting us into closer touch with the community in which we live and is ministering in a very practical way to the welfare of the people. The latter school contains more than $1,200 in cash for this building, and are cordial in their support of it. Nursing offers an especially fine field of usefulness to young Negro women, one where they are wanted, and where highly honored women are more generously responded to than form of service open to them. We count it an especially useful and sensible part of our work. The college classes have been almost entirely separated from normal classes, college classes meeting for hour periods. The total value of our property is nearly $250,000. Our endowment funds amount to nearly $180,000. The latter figure brings us very close to the $200,000 total of all schools before they can be placed upon the Carnegie Foundation. Georgia State Industrial College. The Georgia State Industrial College is the youngest of the seven or eight prominent boarding schools or colleges for colored youths in the State of Georgia. It is located in the southeastern part of Georgia in one corner of the famous wire grass section and on the hillsides miles out of Savannah, Ga. Its campus is just beyond Thunderbolt, well known to Savannah visitors. tic effi There are in the entire school plot eighty-six acres, of which thirty-five acres form the campus proper. This campus is the home of the boys' athletic field is one of the prettiest in the State. A part of the campus is a grove of handsome pines, palmettoes and live oaks festooned with alluring pendant Spanish gray moss. Walks and drives through the grounds have been made accessible by the many shells. Naturally it is one of the most attractive spots around Savannah and many visitors declare it the prettiest campus of any colored school in the country. There are four large main buildings, the library, the story brick with doric columns decorating the front plaza. Meldrim Auditorium, with an audience room capable of holding over 1,000. Industrial Building and Science Hall. There are beaches, a playground and a store. There are only fifty-six acres in the farm, but it is well stocked. It has a beautiful little dairy building with a first class dairy outfit. The farm with its fat cows, hogs and mules is an island to the numerous boys who come from all parts of the State to this school. The school has a complete line of the ordinary trades pursued by our people in the South. Yearly it sends on us, painted blackjackets, tailors, shoemakers, painters, carpenters and masons who are making good in many parts of the South. The school curriculum combines the literary and industrial features. Every student is required to learn some trade and is given a certificate for Half of each day is given to a trade and half to literary students. No student is given a certificate for his trade until he has reached a degree of efficiency which entitles him to a seventh grade education. Handmade so out without our certificate and do excellent service at their trade, earning from $2.50 to $4.00 per day as masons and good wages at other trades, but no student is given a trade certificate until he completes the The school, however in its literary department has done perhaps its best work. It gives a college course equal to that given by any other school in the state. Its college graduates are quite as capable as the college graduates of other schools of the state. A state of some of the college graduates represents this point. The following are representative of its colleges. Wright P. R. M. E. D. maughing editor, Christian P. Porter A. M. E. Church L. P.

Beginning with eight students and four instructors, the school has now reached an annual enrollment of over 468,485 at this writing the entire enrollment mainly from Georgia although Florida Alabama, South Carolina and other states are represented. In our boarding department we have enrolled this year over 250 boys, not one less than fourteen years of age the average is eighteen. Many of these boys are the sons well-to-do farmers, who own from a thousand to two thousand acres of land The outside activities of the Georgia State Industrial College have not been numerous, but they have been helpful. We have done some community work. We have trained farmers.

Wilberforce University Nearly sixty-six years ago a slightly-built man of color stirred his race by a series of essays relating to its education. This was Daniel Alexander Payne who had been seeking the elevation of his people since a young man of twenty-eight, self-made and self-instructed, he had opened a school in 1829 among the free Negroes of Charleston, S. C. In this manner Daniel A. Payne instituted a movement which he never forsook and which led a committee to meet in the city of Columbus, Ohio, in 1844 to select a tract of land as their report reads, for the purpose of erecting a seminary of learning on the manual labor plan for the instruction of the youth among the Negro people in the various branches of literature, science agriculture, and mechanic arts and also for those young men who may desire to prepare their minds for the work of the ministry. The result was the opening of "Talon Seminary" in Brown Township Franklin County, Ohio, a few miles out from Albany and here Willforce University. It was the first organized college it was the first organized colored men for a school for the race and Willforce proud! lays a just claim to being the oldest school in the United States for Negroes by Negroes John John in Brown later Bishop Brown Francis Ellen Watkins Harper of Philadelphia well known in temperance circles and distinguished for her poetic talent assisted him. In 1856 the same agencies in connection with the white friends of the race unite to look after the welfare of the 30,000 colored people that in the State of Ohio and beautiful summer resort, the old Indian Springs, "Tawawa Springs" (Sweet Water) was purchased and the great Willforce University after the great Willforce statesman humphry linton and friend of the race William Willforce. Governor Salmon P. Chase and Doctor Rust (late Secretary of the Freedoms Aid Society) with four men of note including Daniel A. Payne (then President Payne) were on its first board to present its first President and remained its stump friend till his death a few years ago. The first epoch of the history of Willerford University determined its community character and influence and once in the heat It was patted together in the presence of the host. It was largely by children of Southern planters. Entire families were brought there lands purchased and homes established. The best element afforded people was attracted to the place. All this led to the growth of a community of educated in material pursuits in the health and the education. The second epoch of the history of Willerford University was the declaration of the idea that the property. The first period of the history came from the birth of the idea. The second period had taken an active The State of Ohio is proud, and all its friends are proud. Pardon me if I repeat my assertion: To the Negro himself really belongs the credit of beginning the education of his people; to Ohio belongs the honor of his school; to Wilberforce belongs the right to call itself the oldest organized school of the race. It started with the idea of "self-effort—self-help," and its white arm was by our white friends. It also began with the adoption of broad principle in its charter: "There shall never be any distinction among the trustees, faculty, or students on account of race, color, or creed." For eight years Daniel A Payne instructed the students of Wilberforce school. Then a cruel blow fell. The day that the immortal Lincoln was assassinated, April 18, 1866, will always be associated with Wilberforce University with two great griefs, for that day its main building was laid in ashes by印第安人, and $2,500 was yet lacking on the payment. But faith and work were again triumphant, and a $40,000 building became a reality in Shorter Hall the first and oldest of six of the large buildings on the grounds to day and the first $1,000 was given by a colored woman. Friends from that time rallied to Wilberforce and it continued in growth and influence working for the race, educating its youth to make the most of its opportunities. The security stands today for the education of head heart and hand. This includes the whole man. Special stress is laid upon the fact that the future of the Negro race depends almost entirely upon its trained men and women - men and women of men and women, such study character, who are to take the shaping its destiny. Upon its theologians its doctors its lawyers, its men of letters upon its business men. More than ever the Negro must now depend upon himself - he must look to his own leadership for guidance and not this should be other than a wise one the best that the race can afford. Books are to be written, great questions are to be discussed and solved, investigations are to be made, and it takes trained men to do all this. What girls are encouraged to make of themselves all that they can be for good, that they be allowed to climb untrained and unhampered as high as possible, with all the aid, all the support and an occasional helping hand, that they be encouraged to be an agent, and useful members of society. In saying this I do not undervalue industrial training one lota. I believe in it. But I agree with Ruskin when he says that he who works with his hands only is a mechanic, he who works with his head is an artisan, and he who works with hands, head and heart is an artist. Let the cultured brain direct the trained hand and the heart move all to higher things and the future will take care of itself. So every one should be upon that for which he feels best fitted—that to which he is best adapted. We are here to make an appeal for aid in this work, to make new friends for it, to increase new interest in it. That it deserves the confidence and aid it deserves the anthropic public can be readily shown. Central City College, Macon, Ga. Central City College opened on October 1, with a good attendance from all parts of the state. The enrollment was one hundred and fifty, and it continues to grow. During the state fair just closed here it took three first prizes for excellence such as knitting, artificial flowers and the general school exhibit which consisted of specimens of sewing, fancy work, etc. The ladies in charged of the woman's department of the fair put Miss Daisy E. Holmes in charge of the state department of miltinery, to which she contributed, to college, while her mother, Mrs Lizzie Holmes, had general charge of the entire school exhibit. Mrs Holmes has worked faithfully and untiringly always, not only to help make that institution equally but also on all public occasions, and to display judiciously, specimens of its handiwork in a way to attract attention and make sentiment in its favor. During the several state fairs it has been to her that Central City College has an exhibit testily and attractively arranged. Atlanta Baptist College. As a result of the unceasing efforts of President Hope and other friends of Atlanta Baptist College, this institution has received an addition to its plants and has become the most beautiful and best equipped schools in South. On account of the increasing number of students the college has for a number of years been solely in need of a building for classroom and chapel in an order that Graves' Hall might be used for dormitory purposes alone. At last this long-felt need has been supplied. The new building, Sale Hall, contains, in addition to the classrooms for college grade and theological studies, a large chapel with modern equipment, places for the bookkeeper and presiding officer, and library training shop and a room for light sympathetic. In the rear is situated the new central heating plant. Coming as it does at a time when the sales department's greatest influence for the people, this new building has not yet been the material progress of our school but has become the cause of much cohesion among students, alumni and friends of the college, and a sort of social life of the institution. The compiler raises money for the erection of this building but has put the work of the college before the people more clearly than ever and the fact that the college is more and more appreciated is well evidenced. At the time of this can a greater share of state taxes be paid than ever before in the history of the college. The new enrollment is 242, and applications for admission are still Because of the fact that the dormitory and dining hall are almost used to greet the Hall are almost used to greet the institution of only a few students, the institution of only a few students is imperative with the reply that there is no more room for the students. The practice of the Mina Model is widely used. A offer to the Institute is an effort to bring about a little study; and rallied around their prize. The Athenaeum, that it is also a financial basis for the faculty team under the coach of Professor Bullock, in spite of the fact that it has been severely crippled since its first game, has played remarkably well a series of five hard matches by the series and has piled up a larger score on its opponents in any other team in the South.

To these exercises the teachers were devoted. Inspiring addresses were delivered by Drs E. R Carter John E. Ford, E. H Hardy, John E. White and Rev. James Brayant, and an amount approximated raised toward the new building fund. Until the present time the work of the college along all lines has been very encouraging. If it continues thus—and there is no reason why it should be so—there will be a shadow of a doubt that this will be the most prosperous and successful year in the history of the institution Port Royal Agricultural and Industrial School. The Port Royal Agricultural and In dustrial School, in Burton, S. C., is located six miles from Beaufort S. C. Prof Joseph Sherman Shanklin, a graduate of Tuckekee Institute, is princi- ple. The school began its life in 1901, and was organized as a boarding department in 1906. For seven consecutive years Professor Shanklin has been struggling to lay the proper foundation for the uplift of the Negro race, especially in this con- tinent. Every year we have our annual Thanksgiving services. At these meetings we have papers and addresses from some of the leading men and women of the day. Many visitors throng the campus to listen to these lectures. We are proud to say that we have some of the children always seem ready when they are called on to come and give us a few words of encouragement. The people not only enjoy these lectures, but are trying to put them in practice in their homes and on their journeys. Time is limited. We can see great changes in time the present with the past few years. Among the white visitors who lectured for us on Thanksgiving were the Hon G A Reed Rev J M Rogers and the Hon Hines of Beaufort, S C School, the Hon Hines of Beaufort, S C School, was also favored with the annual address by Miss Georgia Washington, principal of the People's School, Mr Mets Ala, Miss Washington is a fluent speaker Mrs N L Kennedy, Mrs R E Romans and Mrs J Washington read very interesting papers.

Royal to the New York AOB Holly Springs, Miss, Dec 17 - At the recent session of the Grand Lodge of Masons, held in this city, Grand Master W A Morgan, severely denounced crime, and declared that the majority of Negroes did not condone lawlessness. Speaking on the subject, Grand Master Morgan said, "I am glad to say to the world that we have a set of men here who stock for law and order," continued the grand master, "and the 1,500 Negro Masons in Holly Springs to day will take up arms any time for the protection of life and to defend a worthy woman. I am delighted to see so many of you old men and Masons here to day, ready to do your duty. May God bless you. Let us now turn attentive to the opening ceremonies." Bishop E. Cotrell D. L. of the M.
