JUNE 7 AND 8 AS RAILROAD DAYS
Booker T. Washington Suggests That These Dates Be Set Aside By The Race
EQUAL ACCOMMODATION
Churches, Secret Societies, Business Leagues and Women's Clubs Asked to Organize to ProtestAgainst Discrimination
CONFER WITH RAILROAD MEN
Tuskegeean-Belleves if Principal Officials Are Properly. Approached There Will Be a Change for the Better.
In a letter to The Age, Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, makes the suggestion that the colored people of the United States set aside Sunday, June 7, and Monday, June 8, as Railroad Days.
The Tuskegeean suggests that the churches, secret societies, business leagues, woman's clubs and other potent agencies organize and send representatives to the various railroad officials to make a strong plea for better accommodations on all lines where passengers are discriminated against on account of color.
Dr. Washington's letter to The Age follows:
To the Editor of THE ACE:
I have sent to the colored newspapers of the country lately in two sections, communications from railroad officials in answer to letters which I had written to these railroad officials regarding the poor and unequal accommodations furnished colored people in many parts of the country. The interest of the railroad people has been aroused in many ways, and they are beginning now to see that it is worth while to treat 100,000 people with consideration.
Now, let us follow up this whole
master by setting aside Sunday, June
7 and Monday, June 8, to be known
as Railroad Days. On one of these
days, I will some other day near these
days. I want to suggest with all the
classes that we can use our group
to teach our business lessons w
and other activities.
not attempt to advise in detail
taking about better conditions;
they can best be left to the
prefect in each community and each
they know what the conditions
they know what remedies to be
about, but I would urge in
saying these committees that the
following subjects be given attention:
i. contact with the railroad office;
the committees should call their
attention to these points wherever
social conditions make it necessary;
1st—Proper accommodations in rest-
aurant controlled by the railroads.
2nd—Proper accommodations in the
way of sitting room in the depots
controlled by the railroads.
3rd—Proper and just accommodations
on street cars, steamboats and
railroad trains.
I want to repeat, that in my opinion, this matter is taken up vigorously and the principal railroad officials approached and taken to direct and tranly a change will soon take place in every part of the country in conditions of public travel are now what they should be. If the officers are appointed on Saturday at 1 Sunday the railroad officials could be approached on Monday, but one matter of the exact time is, of course, not important; only we should stop in mind the idea of letting this movement be brought to a head on one day, or in one single week, so that the railroad officials may be impressed with the bigness of the occasion and the opportunity which is before them to increase their revenue by doing justice to nine or ten millions of their patrons.
I wish especially to urge upon ministers and other leaders to give notice of Railroad Day several times during the next few weeks from their pulpits. I am equally anxious that the colored newspapers should call attention to this day from time to time. It is a matter of the greatest importance and I believe that hard work and concentrated effort will help to change present conditions very notably.
Yours very truly,

SCHOOL CENSUS TAKER
RAPES 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL
LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 14.—Threatening to kill her if she made an outcry, a white man named Sullivan, census taker for the public schools, criminally assaulted Mary Woolridge, a 16-year-old Negro girl, at her home, 3439 Bank street, Wednesday morning, April 8. She was alone at the time, except for her two-year-old baby brother; her mother being absent as the home of a sick neighbor. Sullivan went to the house about 11:30 ofclock Wednesday morning, and after questioning the girl as to the other children gained access to the house to write the answers. When through with his writing, instead of leaving the house Sullivan caught the child by the arm and made an improper remark. She ran from him into another room, but he followed and caught her. She fought and struggled against the fend until exhausted. Threatening to kill her if she screamed, he accomplished his brutish purpose and left with the warning that if she told what had happened he would come back and kill her.
As soon as she was able Mary went to the home where her mother was and told of the outrage. Her father was sent for and be called in the police. The child's description of the man enabled the detective to apprehend Sullivan, who was arrested that same night and committed to jail.
The child is contagued by her bed, where she was resting as a rest of her mother, who was resting on a bed of flowers.

approved
Judge Terrell is opposed most strongly by Senator Vardaman, whose fanatic opposition to the Negro race was well known in Washington before Vardaman reached the Senate. Judge Terrell, who already has served on the municipal bench, received the first unanimous endorsement the local bar has ever granted a candidate, according to his friends, and Senators who are not swayed by a fanatic antipathy for Judge Terrell's race resent the character of opposition which Senator Vardaman is invoking.

And Tea Drinkers Are Favored With Music by Members of the Cleft Club—W. C. T. U. Members Elated.
Do you know what's the latest fad in Harlem? Why, it's the afternoon tea.

The hours set for the drinking of tea and cocoa were from 2 to 8, and the word was sent out that all tea drinkers would have music with their drinks. So successful were the afternoon teas at the beginning that it was decided to continue giving Harlemites an opportunity to sip tea and cocoa, to the accompaniment of music, indefinitely.

PLACE WREATH ON TOMB OF JEHUDA ASHMUN
Special to THE NEW YORK AQR
New Haven, Conn., April 14—Last week Dr. J. Edmstone Barnes, formerly Liberian. Minister of Public Works, paid a visit to New Haven and called upon the Rev. Philps Stokes, secretary of Yale University, who was kind enough to direct him to the grave of Jehuda Ashmun, the first Colonial Governor and the father of Liberia. Dr. Barnes was accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Ottley and Willis M. Bonner, and a wreath was placed upon the Ashmun tomb.
Dr. Barnes, in the course of a brief address, dwelt upon the importance of the work accomplished by Jehuda Ashman in the interest of Liberia. He said Jehuda Ashman did not count life and other things of the world that charm men most, as worthy objects of thought along such as serving the claims of humanity. Hence, although West Africa, at the time of Jehuda Ashmun's regime, was so unfavorable to the health of the white man that it earned the name "white man's grave," yet it did not deter Ashman from going there, leaving his people and civilization behind, to repatriate ex-slaves on the Continental home of their forefathers.

Burke, director general of the Cobred Mission in the United States. Of KKK members and Father Sheley as sub-deacon.
Father Burke's assistant, the Rev. Denis J. Bustin, preached an inspiring and instructive sermon on the resurrection. In it he pointed out that the resurrection of Christ is an absolute proof of His Divinity as well as the resurrection of Jesus. He pledged our future resurrection. In a wbd he proved by various passages from sacred scripture who the Risen Christ is and what we shall be. The resurrection of Christ was an historical fact—testified to by his enemies, the Serries and Pharisees, and also by His—incredible friends—the apostles—who did not believe until he had to appear to them to set with them, sup with them and allow the incredulous. Thomas is to put his finger into the sacred wounds and have him glimr: "My Lord and my God."
The evening service was attended by a large number of members. It consisted of veepers, sermon by Father
Shanley and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Looking at the celebration from a spiritual and artistic viewpoint, the former due to the devotion and enthusiasm of St. Benedicts congregation and the latter to the choir and titar circle, it was the best ever witnessed in the historic church of St. Benedict The Moor.

Brooks occupied the pulpit, having returned the office the first day, and only pointed pastor, although beginning his eighteenth successive year as pastor of this church. As the morning lesson he read a part of the 2nd chapter of St. John, and selected his text from lst Corinthians 16:54; his theme was "Death is swallowed up in Victory." Dr. Brooks seemed to grow stronger as he uttered each word of his sermon, which not only in keeping with the occasion but was scholarly and full of motifs.
The singing of the Easter music was excellent. Geo. W. Taylor, basso, sang "As I Began to Dawn," and the choir sang S. Colridge Taylor's "Now Late on the Sabbath Day," with good effect. There was also a special quartet "The Risen One," by the officers of the Rosewood club connected with the Sunday School.
The Sunday School-held its service at the regular hour, the Brotherhood Bible class joining therein. The Epworth League, under the leadership of Miss Belle Johnson, held its usual devotional exercises it being the second Sunday.
Attend the bycum a program of fourteen numbers was creditably rendered under the supervision of President Simmeltkler.
The evening service was as well attended as that of the morning. There was no preaching, it being communion Sunday. There was special singing by the choir of "Peace I Leave with you." Bishop I. B. Scott of Africa was presen and conducted the eucharistic service on Monday, commencing 652, the largest number at one time since the organization of the St. Mark's Church.
Emmanuel Church.
The clear sky and bright sunshine contribute to make the first Easter in the First Emmanuel Church a most memorable one. The entire service of the day and evening were harmonious and deeply inspiring.
Pastor Bolden, said: "The person who held the attention this day of the civilized world, is Jesus, the Christ our Immamuel; and that this occasion furnishes an opportunity for studying how the world might know Him, as God with us', and rightly serve Him. It is the duty of those who know His records as a perfect man, as a Redeemer from sin' and as a God among men, from sin' and among women, about His life of obedience and sympathy, and His love and good will toward mon. He Illustrated in His own life, how a man could be fixed in a high and noble purpose that he would not injure or hurt his fellowman. The love in him was so strong for His fellowman that even his enemies were forgiven and accepted on terms of Holy unity. The great need to-day in the present generation everywhere is a concentration of thought-upon Him. The result of this concentration is that Spirit to breathe into the individual or group-minds the life and spirit of our Lord."
The Sunday School hour was given over to the singing of Easter carols and an excellent program by the children. The recitations and solos were 'elegantly rendered and praise must be given Mrs. S. C. Jackson and Miss M. Johnson for their work. The Sunday School rally amounted to 440. The teachers added to the roll, Superintendent James Hinton and the teachers were happy.
James Hinton had charge of the program at the 5mmmanuel Literary Society which was as follows: Chorus by the male choir; recitation, Maurice Traxton; piano solo, Mrs. Elli Gilbert; recitation, the Rev. Wm. Hogans; quart, Miss G. Thomas, Wm. Townsend Mrs. C. Thomas, G. Hinton; address in Immunaelism, John M. Royall; solo, Miss Pauline Jackson; recitation, Mrs. Herules; paper, Miss Eda Hibrata; chorus, male choir. Each number was a gem in itself. John M. Royall's talk made a deep impression. At the 7 o'clock once, which was opened by the Rev. Wm. Hogans, Emmet Kecking and an original poem on Calvary, which was written by him twenty-five years ago. Mr. Kecking is the oldest member of the Immanuel Church. He is an octoperman and he and his wife are active in the work of him.
At the evening service Pastor Holden continued his discourse on Immunellum. Four persons united with the church. Pastor Holden gave to each member present a certificate of full membership with the creed and covenant of the Immunellum Church. Many visitors were impressed. Many visitors were present during the day, including Mr. and Mrs. C. Jackson and family, Miss V. Jacobs of Tarrytown, Miss E. Smith of Riverdale, N. Y. Fred R. Moore and Dr. J. E. Barnes.

Concord Baptist Church, Brooklyn.
Easter Sunday morning services at Concord Baptist Church of Christ, the Rev. Dr. Wm. M. Moss, pastor, were attended by a congregation that packed the auditorium till not even standing room was left, overflowing the vestibule out to the sidewalk and partly filled the lecture room in rear of the church. The pulpit was a mass of Easter illies, jonquils, carnations and ferns, while plotted plants were placed on all the window ledges. Canary birds in glittering brass cages were suspended in the church. The decorations were arranged by the Easter Bell Club, an organization of the church led by Mrs. Lawrence, which furnishes flowers for the pulpit all the year.
At 10:30 a.m. m. Dr. Moss preached his Easter sermon from the text, "O Death, where is thy sting? O Grave, where is thy victory?" The choir, under the direction of Mrs. R. P. Hilmil, sang "O Death, Where Is thy Sting?" and "Christ Now is Risen from the Dead." Mr. Smothers sang a solo. At 3 p.m. m. the Sunday School, led by N. R. Dodson, superintendent, led by W. R. Dodson, superintendent, rendered a special Easter service. Each department of the school was represented by the various classes and the recitations and musical numbers were well rendered. The music was a feature, especially choruses rendered, one by a mixed chorus of girls and boys directed by Mr. McDonald, and one by a double quartet of boys trained by Wm. Major. Plano accompaniments were furnished by the L. DeSalater and Miss Jenny E. Harris, a splendid service was held by the Christian Endeavor Society at 6 o'clock.
Another overflowing congregation greeted Dr. Moss at 7:30 p.m. when the Easter Bell Club attended the service in a body. It was the occasion of the club's annual sermon. "The Hallelujah Chorus," from Mandel's "Messiah," was rendered by the choir, and W. It. Spellman, formerly of Newark, sang voluntarily Millard's "Ave Marla."
The Easter Bell Club, aside from its regular work of furnishing flowers for the pulpit on each Sunday, donated $102 to the charities. The Sunday school through Superintendent Dobson contributed-as a result of its recent carnival, $235.17. The regular collection for the day amounted to $185.85, a total of more than $523. As the Sunday School, as well as the regular church congregation, has outgrown present facilities, it was emphasized by Mr. Dobson that the school's donation was toward a new building.

Aim to be sweet, bright and well-bred. In fact, aim to be all that is required of a good woman. Be not of the cheap type, or, in other words, ill-tired. Be careful of your talk. Let it be in an environment not much too bitter in your home or in a large home seem to forget themselves in a crowd and pitch their voices to the highest note and talk as fast as they can, with no idea of how it sounds or what it means. If you could be told by one looking on of your tone of voice and the amount of weight there is in your voice, you'd disgust you do better. When you don't say something and keep your voices under control.
Avoid slang, while it has its place in our language, and a judicious use of it may add flavor to a conversation, when it is too frequently used it not be use or becoming to young girls. If you only knew and could see yourselves as others see you, I truly believe you would be ashamed of yourselves if you cut out from your friends tall and loose actions and be the sweet refined girl that every one admires. Most of our young girls are ignorant of what is going on around them. You should read the magazines, or newspapers except for the stories or fashion. It is this ignorance together with your supreme self-satisfaction, that makes your attitude toward older people uninhibited. This ignorance not only inhibits your ability to do in this home, although you fully expect some day to be the distress of your own home.
Thoughtlessness of our girls is one of the most regrettable traits. Throw away so much frivolity and good time as you call it, and try, if only for a short time, to be the Old Fashioned girl. I know this advice old enough to see you in this flying age, but experience has taught the older heads that the old fashioned girl of to-day makes the noblest and grindest woman of tomorrow. Alm to be as Booker T. Washington tells us: "The Exceptional Girl" asks anything impossible of you but plan to look ahead and be a credit to the race. In public always be conscious and ever careful of spoiling the pleasure of every one in hearing. Remember every one in a public gathering has the same rights as you, and always stop to think that if every one should do as I am doing now what won't be the condition of affairs, to create a situation where you and keep your eyes on the speaker even if you do not take in all that is being said.
I wonder how many of my dear girls who attended services on Sunday, can recall one thought gained from the service. Think of the time spent, in preparing the wholesome food for you and how much good it would do you if you would only treasure up some of the thoughts in your life and use them as beacon lights against the multitude of temptations which will rise to confront you. Remember girls, the way you appear now will make a great difference not only to yourselves, but to the future of our nation

M. R. AND MRS. VERNON CASTLE came, they danced, they conquered! This triumph and it
conquered! This tense and in part trite statement (with apologies to Mr. Julius Caesar) correctly summarizes the unprecedented appearance of the Castles at, the entertainment of the Tempo Club on Wednesday evening, April 8. It is useless to employ figures of speech, which would be completely o'ershadowed by such dance figures as the Maxixe. Castle Tango and Castle Walk.
Mr. and Mrs. Castle are the acknowledged leading exponents of the Modern Dance of Modenii "Danse," if you please. Their position in the World of Terpsiphore is vastly different from that of President Huerta of Mexico. They have no Villas to question their supermacy, which is absolute. They are monarchs of all they survey. And after you see them in some of their own marvelous conceptions you will not wonder why the members of the Four Hundred cheerfully give up $25 an hour to be shown how to tango.
There are some who merely look upon dancing as a form of amusement which is indulged in solely for the pleasure of it. This viewpoint may be true in some instances, but not always. More and more seriously is dancing being regarded in this country. In analyzing the dance numbers interpreted by Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle at Manhattan Casino one finds the expression of moods together with grace and rhythm, and you are compelled to marvel at the union of strength and lightness that characterize the terpsichoran exhibition of this remarkable couple.
Mr. and Mrs. Casile are well matched, both tall and slender, and here is a piece of information not generally known: Mr. Castle had to leave England and come to America to find his soul mate and dancing mate, who is a native of New Rochelle, N. Y. Despite their great success Mr. and Mrs. Castle are modest and retiring, but the fact that they danced at the Tempo Club entertainment makes such a statement unnecessary.
Mr. and Mrs. Castle appeared in four of their heart society dances—the Castle Half and Half, Castle Maxiex, Castle Tango and Castle Walk. Their dancing was a revelation to onlookers, who gassed at this pair with unbound admiration. No one can blame Aida Overben Walker from watching the Castles whenever the opportunity presents itself—who wouldn't? The large audience was very appreciative, applauding heartily and often. Partiality was shown the last dance, the Castle Walk, which might aply, be called the Castle "Run," so fast were the movements of the dancer. At the conclusion of the Castle Walk Mrs. Castle was presented with several large bouquets, which she received with smiles.
While Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle were the principal attraction of the evening, there were many other entertaining numbers on the lengthy and varied program. One of the features was the National Negro Orchestra, under the direction of James Reese Europe, which, with few exceptions, rendered musical numbers written by colored composers. Among the well-known writers to conduct their own compositions were William H. Tyers, J. Resamond Johnson, Joe Jordan and E. E. Thompson.
The debut of the National Negro Orchestra was most successful. Particular attention was paid to the instrumentation introduced by James Reese Europe, the large number of banjos and guitars being as conspicuous by their absence as were, the violins and brass instruments by their presence.
Other artists to contribute to the success of an unusual bill were: S. H. Dudley & Co., Abble Mitchell, Jolly John Larkhs, Criswell & Bailey, Leonard Jeter & Felix Weir, Smith & Burris, C. Happy Rhone and Frank Price.

After the entertainment dancing was in order) with E. E. Thompson's Band furnishing the melody. Several unsuccessful attempts were made by young men and women to emulate the terpsilorean efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle, but, alas! While there were no serious results, the ambitious ones were rudely jolted by unexpectedly colliding with the slippery floor. They did not know that one becomes adept at dancing the Castle Walk, etc., by practice, not by observation. It is reported that Omega Oil, arnica and witch hazel were greatly in demand next day.
The audience at the Tempo Club entertainment was large and brilliant. The boxes were occupied by representative members of both races, and Easter costumes were much in evidence. James Reese Europe and his associates—chief among them Ford T. Dabney and William H. Tyers—are to be congratulated upon furnishing amusement loyers with such a unique program.
As for Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle, I am compelled to once become epigrammatical in speaking of them and declare: They've got 'em!

BANQUET AT PHILADELPHIA
Joy reigned supreme at the home of Mrs. Vodrey. 1232 Pine street, Philadelphia. Friday evening, when Bob Slater, Bobby Gray and Tommy Carter entertained at midnight, lunch friends playing at the various theatres in Philadelphia. "Natives of New Orleans, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas and other states were gathered in one big melting pot of harmony. Mrs. Vodrey is the mother of Will Vodrey, the musician. John C. De Bailor acted as toastmaster, and during the evening kept up a lively flow of wit and humor, which he blended with verse from the pen of the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar. A very funny little essay written especially for the occasion by Messrs. Carter, Gray and Slater, caused roars of laughter.
DREW'S NEW RECORD.
"Did Howard B. Drew, the colored speed marvel, finish 100 yards in 9.2-5 seconds on the University of California track at Berkley, which is part dirt and part cinders, a few weeks ago."
This question is asking the athletic world at present. A few in the East doubt that the Springfield flor hung up such a great record, but the majority of Eastern writers and followers of athletes believe honors should be awarded him. Writer David Gilliam of North Carolina tracks team and one of the oldest followers of athletes, to James R. Sullivan secretary of the A. A. U.
"I timed Drew 9:3-5 seconds. I was not one of the official timers, but was directly over the tape, and Horine called my attention to the fact that there was no wind when they took the mark to start. I don't know if they will allow him the record, but he deserves it."
"Lawson Robertson, recognized as one of the greatest judges of runners in athletics, pays: 'He has proved his ability to do 94-5 any time that the conditions are right. Once in a while Drew is going to be especially fit on days when the conditions are absolutely perfect for sprinting. One of these days Drew is going to do a fast 'nine four' or 'nine three.'"

REV. WEST AND BETHEL
CHURCH, JERSEY CITY
The Rev. George H. West, former pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, Oak street, Jersey City, who was removed from that pastorate last November by Bishop Evans Tyrege because of dissatisfaction in the church, and assigned to a charge at Greenwich, Conn., has written the following letter to The New setting forth the work the claims to have accomplished while pastoring the Jersey City church. His letter is as follows:
To the Editor of The Age:
Will you kindly give me permission to make a statement concerning the work accomplished through God and the cooperation of the good people of Jersey City during my administration as pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church.
I make this statement for the tonight's public outside of the New Jersey city and wishing City knows my work. At the chose of the New Jersey annual conference at Trenton, N. J., April 1912, at which conference I had the honor of preaching, I was appointed, I was appointed the pastoral charge of Bethal Church, Jersey City.
Upon my arrival I found on account of a debt to the gas company of $77 that the company had threatened' to cut off the gas and take out the meter; I found a seven year's, rent rent of $33; in planning my first service I found the organist had realigned on account of the church being behind in salary to the amount of $59. These were些 unlicensed threaten- ters on the first service. To add this dark and discouraging condition, the officers of the church had provided no place of lodging for the pastor and his family who were, on the ground with nowhere to go. (strangers in a strange land). Not even a bed-stead was owned by the church and six months house rent owed, left by the pastor I followed. We had our first-meeting. I found a divided church out of which a Methodist Episcopal Mission had been organized and a pastor from the Delaware confer- ment, M. E. O'Dwyer, pointed as pastor and on the ground. In this meeting I asked what the total debt was and who were the creditors? Nobody could give anything like an accurate statement.
To get my family located, of course, was uppermost in my mind. I got a place-where we piled our goods in the middle of the floors (for it was dangerous to go near the walls) for a month. During this period I found a house at 21-2 Oak street, and having seen the owner said, "I said my officers had arranged my rentals. I received an prompt reply, "I would, not rent, my house to your orders," mentioning the unpaid rent. then rented the house myself at $27 per month, the church allowing $20. I paid, the balance. Later, on account of the health of Mrs. West, I took an apartment, so that she would not be on the ground floor and that the gas might be turned on, the whole not to exceed $18, which I stated. The church agreed readily, that the apartment less the they were paying. Afterward we moved back to Oak street, the church allowing $23, the pastor paying the balance.
Two mortgages on the church, one of $1,700 another of $500, plus the interest, were practically "foreclosed three months before my coming. Nothing had been done but to beg the messages to hold off until conference, at which time I would do the work. My mission was to save the church at Jersey City to make amends and to satisfy if possible, the innumerable host of creditors who were daily sending bills and threats and presenting claims. I said to the church, "Everything in the business world is not run on promises, but if you would have access to the money markets and prestige in the world you would not keep your world you must make according to the time they are made. In other words, if you would have public confidence, if you promise to pay a bill on the first of the month, it does not mean the 10th or 15th of that month, nor a debt contracted to be paid Monday at 10 a.m. does not mean Friday at 3 p.m. For mailing upon a business-like administration I was branded. And I say here and now insistence upon the payment must be contracted, if the time promised, is to be termed a kind of our administration, then we need more of that kind of administration, not only in church but among our people and our enterprises everywhere. I pleaded the people if they would go to work with me (if it was a condition wherein the pastor had to lay a plan to raise a money plan to raise the financial interest the would pay the faithful impulses of our paying the swear to take care of bills. I kept account. Everybody didn't like it. I did not care. I went on. The church began to lift its dropping head, a noble army of 160 persons insured us and confidence was restored. On July 30, 1912, after three months, we paid out entirely the second month, over $229,83, and burnt it in the oil column service of the first mortar. September quarterly meetings took the first mortar. I confronted me, I knew not where to go, for the church had no commercial prestige, the officers couldn't inform me. In my feeling "the darkness, a white lawyer, introduced me to the bankers of Jersey City thereby a loan was secured finally. Before I could get the money for which the church had applied, the property must be searched which revealed the following segment in the courts arena: church; Baldwin $110; Redfern, builder, $31; Stingleton, $54; 7 years, water, $33. These judgments must be satisfied before we get the loan. I arranged to pay $1,700 and borrow $30, making again a second mortgage of $500, the lawyer taking a 30, note for the balance will be promptly paid. Thus, the mortgage was transferred, the judgments wiped out except the Sinclair who I paid note for the month. Another bill of $27 to Mr. Crawford, another bill of $23 to Mr. Crawford. This bill had been
was paid entirely out of debt minus $7.
I paid the organist $59 back money and
$15, per month regularly; Reviera,
(painter) $17.50; to furnace $42; to
gutters on church, $29; and a number
of bills from 50 cents to $11. I paid
$77 to the Gas Co. and all monthly
bills. I went to conference with all my
reports ahead, the previous year having
raised $5,058.73. I succeeded in
bringing back to the church the split
faction in the M. E. Mission, the sup-
perintendent of the District M. E.
Arch having officially disbanded the
same house of the very few members
left. They gave the grief had been
abnormal. I went back and all
quarters that I served the reports she
total for all purposes from $1,613.77 to
$1,500 per quarter, which would have
given Jersey City this year $6,000.
I furnished the parisienne—a parterre mait-rue, a dining-room set, beet box, refrigerator, one large brass bed outfit complete, window curtains for the front of the house made to order, and matting on all the upper floors, covered the doors in the upper vestibule with green felt put a new cement pavement in the church, installed new walnut contribution boxes (finest made) in the church, a new grate in the large furnace, window curtains in the lecture room, and a new galvanized iron roof on the entire church, replacing rotten foundation pieces under the lecture room with new ones and renovating the entire rubble and doors downstairs, the locks, putting in new keys. The church was closed, the night the church was closed, I having informed Mrs. West not to allow the church to be opened. Nobody can deny that.
I kept up all payments of premiums, interest, contracts, bills and incidental expenses, not allowing one payment to go behind and on the last Friday night in November, 1913, before the whole church, officers, and presiding elder, the banking committee once over to the church after examination of all financial and accounts $213.21 in Lincoln Trust Company (a bank through which I had put $1.291 for the church) and $7.95 in cash or a total amount turned over to the church at my leaving of $221.16, the church turning over to me duplicates and they keeping receipts. I stated "that at the last quarterly conference $2.35 was collected to purchase a quarterly conference record." Saying, I have been to Philadelphia by bus, but after a clerk of the Book Concern that they were in print and would be out in a few days. In the meantime I left and my administration closed having added 160 members with 59 converts.
I read my resignation as pastor at each of three services at the quarterly meeting held on the fourth Sunday in November, 1913; once in the presence of the presiding elder, who preached at 3 o'clock. The presiding elder informed me that a committee had presented complaints. He had arranged this meeting at his house where the co-mittee discussed these complaints from 3 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., four and one-half hours.
Now if they were complaints they belonged to the official board of the church; if written, (and he claimed they were) they then belonged to a committee of the church charged should appear. (Read Discipline, Page 249. Sec. 2. Art. 4. 2. 2. 2. and Discipline, Page 203. Art. 4. 1.) Neither of these was done and the presidial elder, goes bishop to find out his other presidial elder to find out his other things, other things. I was turning out members pell-mell.
I never turned out a member in all my pastorate of fourteen years. After sultieist conference with our bishop, I told him I would not work with nor sit in any meeting over which the sliding elder presided. My resignation which is my right and perogative matter who was bishop or presiding elder with 310 conversions: 612 acres, 260 bighams; burning mortgages at Millville, Bordentown and Jersey City (Signed.)

East Orange Social Settlement Work
Orange, N. J., April 1 — The Main
Avenue Presbyterian Church of East
Orange, N. J., is said to be one of the
three wealthiest churches in the
United States. For some years the
Ladies Guild of this church conducted
their services in the church's
colored girls' room. These were not very
successful. So great was the desire of the
church to help the needy colored people
of the community that it was determined
to secure expert assistance from
outside of East Orange.
The church was extended
Mrs. Mary E. Burrell and her
husband, W. P. Burrell, to organize a
settlement work for the church. These
well known social workers from Richmond, Vn., accepted the call and organised the East Orange Social Settlement. Their success has made it
so more than double the space occupied and more room is needed.
There are over two hundred children on the rolls, a Mother's Club of eighty members, Girls' Clubs, Boys' Clubs, a council of Camp Fire Girls is the second camp of colored Camp Fire Girls in the States. Troop 18 of the Boy Scout unit is being understood the meaning of a good turn.
The influence of the settlement is felt throughout the community and it is no uncommon thing to meet the workers of the settlement in the offices of the chief of police, chief probation officer, judge of children's court, superintendent of schools, minister's conference and other places looking after the interests of the children under their care.
On March 17 the Ladies' Guild of the Munn Avenue Church held its annual meeting. After the routine business was transacted, sixty-eight of the boys and girls from the settlement sang plantation melodies in a manner that was not unusual. Miss Cora Davis rendered selections from Dunbar which were well received. One of the Camp Fire Girls, Miss Mary Roy, received repeated applause on account of her rendition of difficult selections. Miss Blanche Dixon, of Boston, who has assisted in training the Glee Club, gave a solo. Mrs Mary E. Burrell spoke on the work of the settlement and showed that nearly nine thousand persons had visited the settlement during the last eleven months. W. P. Burrell spoke of the Boy Scout movement of the settlement and read a letter from E. Neldlinger, the Scout Commissiner of East Orange.
After the program the children and the head workers were the guests of the Ladies' Guild who served refreshments. The children were perfectly prepared for the event, and farrobs their leaders." The work of Mr. and Mrs. Burrell is developing and its effect is very apparent in East Orange.
