"Seven more Arkansas Lilies in the same family," is the inscription on the back of the photograph of a charming girl from Arkansas, entered in THE Age's Beauty Contest. "Lily" may not be one of the Chosen Filles, but the judges will have work cut out for them finding fifteen to surpass her. If she was from Georgia she'd be a "Peach." It is apparent every day that interest in the contest is growing by leaps and bounds. The scope and intent of the demonstration of beauty is becoming better understood and its possibilities are more plainly realized. To show the world at large the development of physical and spiritual comeliness is an undertaking of considerable magnitude, but the results to be attained make the effort well worth while. It will counteract the world's conception of the American Negro women based on the caricatures and exaggerations published in the comic weeklies. Further interest in the development of the Real American Negro type as two weeks ago is shown by the editorial in this paper this week, in which THE Ace editor comments on the suggestion. The photographs published this week show a general tendency toward the same type, and show the possibility of a race type idea. Letters and photos come in every mail and trap every section. To show how widespread is the interest one mail brought photos from Boston, Mass., Louisville, Ky., and Los Angeles, Cal., while in the next mail came a photo from Portland, Oregon. The promoters of the Autumn Festival, in conjunction with which the Beauty Contest will be held, inform the contest editor that they are being continually approached with inquiries concerning the contest, and a number of photographs are sent in through their office. The Autumn Festival is assuming large proportions, and the five nights at Manhattan, Las Vegas, September 28 to October 2 promise to mark an era in the amusing, entertaining and instructing of New York's metropolitan population. Send in Good Photographs. The contest is open to all women of the race, and there are no stipulations to be compiled with or obligations to be met. The only suggestion the contest editor would make is that the best photographic reproductions possible be sent in. All photographs sent will be received and entered in the contest. There are no limitations as to the kind of photographs to be sent, but it is certain that the better the photograph the stronger will be its representation of the personal charm and beauty of the sitter. Send Name and Address A caution to senders is to be sure and send the name and address, not for publicity, but as a means of identification in case of award, and that photos may be returned if wanted. The absence of means of identifying a photograph will cause it to be taken from the contest. This caution is given because in one instance two small photos were received without any means of telling who the persons are, or from, whence came the photos, only the postmark, which was "New York, Aug. 13, 7.30 p. m., College Sta." While there are no rules and the requirements are extremely simple, anonymous photos will not be entered in the context. Contest Closes September 21. Photos will be received until September 21, when contest closes. A committee of twelve capable and disinterested men and women will be invited to act as judges and all photos received ...ON TO W ENJOY A DAY IN Monster Basket Outing UNDER THE A St. Christopher Club AT VERONA TERR SATURDAY, AUG MUSIC BY CENTUR Admission, Including Round Children!

Grant, superintendent of the New York Central district of the Pullman Co. and the porters, held Monday, August 17 at Mott Haven yards, a number of grievances were given a hearing and the porters were given an opportunity to make recommendations for the betterment of the service. Mr. Grant expresses a determination to do all in his power to advance the interest of his men and called attention to the fact that the general office at Chicago had issued a statement in which the New York district was rated A No. 1, the men attaining a percentage of 93 per cent. in efficiency. George W. Young, one of the most prominent of the Pullman employees, states that already many changes for the better have been made, one being that the men are paid for time absent because of sickness. The hours of labor are also being regulated. Because of Personal Bias Members of S.C.M. Have Held Back Gases That Should Have Gone to Supreme Court for Adjudication. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 18—With the drawing near of the session of the B. M. C. at Boston on September 14, the various factions are increasing—the calibre of their guns and the weight of their ammunition and sending forth broadsides with greater frequency Supporters of Henry Lincoln Johnson for grand master declare that the outlook for his election is getting brighter and brighter. The Morris administration, in its efforts to bolster up its cause, has made a determined onslaught on the operations of the Supreme Court of the Order, declaring it to be useless and expensive appendage. "In reply to this charge, Benj. J. Dayis, chief justice of the court, has issued a letter in which he goes exhaustively into the history of the court and what it has accomplished. Although Grand Master Morris is fighting the court Davis declares that Morris was the father of the project, and makes the further charge that the grand master created the court that he might have a way to pass the remainder of his days in office. The charge is made that Morris, if not elected grand master, wanted to be chief justice, and if elected grand master he would serve two years and then retire to the bench. S. C. M. Holds Out Cases. The charge that the court is useless Chief Justice Davis declares is not true because members of the S. C. M. are elected every two years and they should not be allowed to interpret the law. Their need to look after their political fortunes would make it possible for them to shape judicial decisions to personal advantage. He states also that the law requires all cases to come to the Supreme Court through the grand master of S. C. M., and that in many cases, for personal or other reasons, causes have been acted upon by the S. C. M. which should have been acted upon by the court. In other cases, the papers have not been turned over to the court until the day of sitting, instead of being transmitted to the chief justice as the law provides. It is declared that notwithstanding this infringement, upon its rights, the court has rendered between seventy-five and one hundred decisions and tried as many more in the past four years, while the S. C. M., in fifty years, has only adjudicated more than two hundred cases. Mr. Davis declares that in his experience when mem- (Continued on Page 8.)

Washington and his victorious followers tell how their people have overcome. Fourteen cities have played host to the famous Business League, but no city, from Boston to Philadelphia, has presented a livelier scene in its preparation for the comfort and entertainment of the delegates of the league than this Wizard City of an engaging commonwealth. Nor has such a crowd of believers ever gathered for a feast of a new Israel's Passover. The capital of a wonderful province of daring and achieving black people—Muskogee invited the black population of the whole country to come; and here they are by the inch, yard and league—countable, but uncounted!

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON President, Nat'l Negro Business League In the form of local business leagues, or similar organizations, in nearly every center of Negro population throughout the United States, Getting its strength and its standing from these local leagues, the National Negro Business League at each annual session grows in dignity and influence. Before beginning the body of my remarks, there are a few simple but fundamental things to which I wish to direct the special attention of each local league. These things I ask in order that the usefulness of the league may be still further felt among the ten millions of our people. Fundamental Principles First of all, do not fritter away too much time in your meetings in technicalities known as parliamentary rules. 2. Let each local league study the constitution and needs of our people in its constitution, and do itself to doing that which will promote the commercial and moral life of our race in that community. 3. Have a regular time of meeting, in always have a meeting at that time. 4. Strive to have a regular place of meeting, one that shall be attractive and convenient. 5. Each meeting is carefully arranged program that shall strike at some definite thing. A general program means little; serving refreshments often helps. 6. Each local league should, strive to be its membership every man-and-woman in the kind of honorable business, no matter how humble that business may appear to be. 7. The league should have for one of its objects the bringing of a white man, by whose side we live, friendly and sympathetic contact with the progress of the race.

The Webb-Draper Agency THE NEGRO FARMER A Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers. It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office, Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman." DR. BOONE T. WASHINGTON STATES: The Tuskegee Institute has no financial interest or control over this new publisher, but some of the active officers of the institution are interested in its success and believe that it will not only accept payments from a paying institution. The paper will be backed by a strong organization and funds have been provided in advance to secure its publication. Those in active control of THE NEGRO FARMER have my entire confidence and good will. —BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. The success of this project is assured because of the solid and sensible lines upon which it is being laid out. All the capital stock has been subscribed for. The subscription price is $1.00 a year and Subscriptions and Advertisements are invited. Clubbing rates with important Negro newspapers will be arranged for on a satisfactory basis. We are now ready to receive Subscriptions and Advertisements. The first issue of the paper will appear February first, 1914.

Conley, Buffalo, N. Y. THE MAKING OF A RACE TYPE We are all interested in the letter in THE AGE of August 6, from Mr. DEMOND LEWIS, in the body of our news article, entitled, "Ideal of Race Beauty," and published on our first page, in which he makes the following statement and suggestion: I modestly suggest that the committee that has the important ask of deciding such an interesting and vital task select as a standard the first three as a distinctly American-Negro type—a basic type. From this type could be illustrated in historical and scientific order various fusing and variations from the basis American-Negro type through the important Negro type until the Negro element is nil. The negroid type would include the inverse order, mulatto, octoron, quadroon and as le dernier crier, an arrangement type which is so enchanting? An arrangement based on this rough outline would prove screening, inspiring and wonderfully fascinating to all Americans who would contemplate it. Of each type shown there should be examples to suggest in a native, delicately subtle manner, the various racial influences which are suggestively characteristic. In selecting an ideal American-Negro type as a classic, should we be influenced by the Egyptian or Graeco-Roman standard of beauty? Is not the type in which the Egyptian influence most subly apparent much nearer to the basic American-Negro ideal? Of course, allowance must be made for the "Spirit of the New World," and its environment, which is of considerable importance. The making of a distinct race type is one of the hardest and most tedious processes with which mankind has to deal, as so many generations of discards are necessary to be sacrificed to get one good member out of a single family. Many family names are wiped out in the process. The Jewish type is one of the oldest; we can trace it from Ur of the Chaldees to Ur of New York, say, and yet the Jewish race type is far from perfect in physique and mental excellence; the mishapen individual and the low and sordid and debased mentality being found in force in every race group of Jews, showing that as a race type the Jew is as yet very far from even. The African races are divided into tribes and physical, facial and mental dissimilarities as great as the races of Asia and Europe, and their people are distinguishable the one from the other, only by their color and language. In their tribal groupings, as to color and speech they are even, and their physical lines all run from extreme lean to extreme fat, and reversely, but their race types and tribal types are fixed, rather by color and speech than otherwise. It is impossible to segregate the American Negro from the aggregate American population in lan- The illusive sinner becomes the despair of the hopeful preachers of all denominations, except the Catholic Church, which does not consider itself a denomination, we believe. Along with inability to reach and hold the illusive sinner goes the other difficulty of getting enough money by voluntary contributions to support the churches adequately in their great and varied work at home and in foreign missionary fields. There is also general complaint, not only in Negro church denominations, but in the other hyphenated sort, that young men do not take to the ministry as in other days, even when educated for the ministry and in church schools, because they do not consider the ministry as inviting a field for their time and preparedness for work as other fields. Church organizations can no longer be supported by voluntary contributions, because they are no longer mutual associations in which the possessions of the membership are regarded as common property; they have become vast business organizations, that require a complicated and expensive administration, with assured revenues and sources of revenues, just like the State and the Nation. It is not regarded by the administrators of church government any more than do those of the States, that economy is of the first importance, so that officers are multiplied and schemes of church building and foreign work are undertaken on a large scale, with the faith that the membership will foot the bills, and when it does not, because it is already taxed to the limit of its disposition, if not of its ability, to do so, great is the suffering of poor preachers at home and missionaries in foreign lands. State and National legislators and administrators act as church administrators do with the tax-payers who elect them to wisely and economically administer their affairs. When they are once elected they forget all about their promises, but spend much time seeking ways to multiply expenses that greater taxation may be imposed upon the people. It was in that way that the Income Tax law was made necessary, indirect tariff taxation increased, and excise taxation kept at the maxim point, although acknowledged to be a tax on the vices and weaknesses of the people. How can the sinners be reached, and who are the sinners? Mr. BILLY SUNDAY, the Baseball Evangelist, thinks every man is a sinner who is not a gain, and has raised a great stir in his rough and tumble campaign in many cities to make the sinners come over into the camp of the saints, his style of preaching being of the blunt, brazen sort, often bordering on the vulgar, in the words used and the manners displayed; for words are sharp instruments in the hands of a master, and cut the conscience as the Toledo blade cuts the flesh. In short, Mr. BILLY SUNDAY is very popular, and draws immense crowds wherever he pitches his evangelical tent. The National Ministerium is much divided about Mr. SUNDAY and his methods, words and manners, but a majority seem agreed that he reaches the sinners and helps to swell the number of the saints, and that, therefore, his results must justify his methods. Perhaps. But we cannot see that the work of building up the moral forces of the church to withstand the immoral forces is promoted by the coarse language and vulgar manners that the newspaper reports indicate Mr. SUNDAY guilty of employing in his campaign after sinners. We believe in the domination of the highest culture and refinement of manners in the church and everywhere else, and in elevating the masses in that direction rather than in the other. If our Christian homes and Sunday Schools and our public schools cannot make sufficient headway against the destructive forces of society to save it from destruction it will not be saved by dragging it down to the slums and gutters of vulgarians and inviting them to occupy the front seats with the flower of Christian civilization. Over in Philadelphia, where many strange things happen, the Rev. JOHN MEIGLAN, a Baptist preacher and a Semitic scholar of high repute, has taken to "soap box" preaching, and tells us all about it, as reported in the Philadelphia Public Ledger, as follows: The Rev, Mr. MEIGHAN gives the credit to Billy SUNDAY. He went to Scranton with 200 other Philadelphia ministers last October, and after studying "BILLY" at close range for several days, he declared that the baseball eyeglasses possessed the secret of carrying conviction to the hearts of the people. Mr. MEIGHAN came home and changed his methods. Thereafter, he gave less attention to the kind of sermons people are prone to expect from Semite scholars, and more to fearless, straight-from-the-shoulder preaching. Oddly enough, the straight-from-the-shoulder preaching has spelled success. Mr. MEIGHAN tells how he began his soap-how preaching in these words; "It came about somewhat in this wise. One of the members of our church said he was in the habit of holding open-air service on hot summer days. It seemed to me that it was too hot to be inclosed and decidedly uncomfortable. The open-air was so refreshing, and then—Jesus seemed to have done a great deal of his work in the open air. It must have been beautiful above and around Him when He sat on that cold well at Sychar, and when He went up the mountain, or sat by the seashore. "So I went to one of the meetings in the open-air, and when called upon, to speak I was shown a soap-box on which to stall and tell the people about Jesus." Mr. MEIGHAN is successful in his new way of reaching simmers and we should not complain. And far be it from us to decry the open air and slum district, work that goes to the wayward and fallen, and gives them, first, something to eat and a place to sleep while the storm lasts, and perhaps finds a job for them, and then preaches a practical sermon to them against the influences that have reduced them to their desperate condition and appeals to them to amend their ways. We approve such work, such as the Inasmuch Mission is doing in Philadelphia and the Jerry Macaulay and the Florence Missionis are doing among the whites, and Dr. RANSOM has begun to do among the Negroes of New York; we approve such work, because it is helpful, as is the Salvation work among the white people. We need more such work among the Negroes of all large cities; high, self-sacrificing, noble work of help and uplift, with nothing of the vulgar and spectacular about it, and we urge that our Christian thinkers should begin to think of work of that sort on a national scale, to save the weak and rescue the fallen and among our own. The white Christians are looking after their own in works of church evangelization and charity, and when they cross over to our side, as in the young men and women Christian Association work, they insist upon bossing the whole business and conducting it in their way. We don't blame them, we blame our own for not developing and bossing their own such work. They should begin to do it. guage, and when this segregation can no longer be made because of color, we shall have the even American type in color and language and manners, which make race type. As to the standard of beauty that shall prevail among such a people, it will differ, as it does among European races grouped in their Nationalists, and distinguishable only by their language and manners. There will be a Negro type of beauty evolved of course, but it will approximate the composite American type rather than any particular race type, as the amalgamation of the races has gone so far, with the horrible impetus given it under the enforced conditions of slayery, that its resolution into the American type, whose population is more off color than straight color, will be only a matter of time—but much time, of course. MONEY AND FOODSTUFFS SHOULD BE KEPT AT HOME. The United States did nothing to bring on the horrible war of Nations in Europe, threatening at the same time the peace and order of the whole world, and it has offered its good offices to help the warring nations patch up a peace among them, to which only a curt-acknowledgment has been made. They are not hunting for peace, but are determined to have war, and plenty of it. The United States, therefore, is in a position to protect itself, as far as possible. from the horrors of war, as these are represented in scarcity of money and foodstuffs that produce famine. There is plenty of money and foodstuffs in the United States, and they should be kept there, by rigid Governmental restractions, as charity begins at home, or should, and remain at home, or should, as long as it is needed to feed and cloth and house its own. Where is no call-nor reason for the sudden rise in foodstuffs that occurred last week, and promise to keep on rising, except the greed of those who control the foodstuff supply. The demand for our goods in Europe need not raise the home price beyond the normal, nor should be allowed to do so; nor should exports be allowed beyond those that obtain in times of peace, so that our people shall have the earth's increase they have made the past year, in preference to speculative vendors and the necessities of --- all warriors in the world. This may be a selfish view that is no more so than that of the warring nations that have turned loose their warships on the high seas to prey on the commerce of the world, as the pirates used to do, while commanding every vestige of foodstuffs and money, for home use that their own people have produced and boarded. The Government of the United States should not allow its money and foodstuffs to be shipped out of the country by greedy speculators while the war lasts in Europe, beyond the volume of such exports in times of peace. It is also the duty of individuals to remember that these are perilous times, and to shape their expenditures and their consumption of foodstuffs accordingly. Unless the Government takes such action as we have indicated famine prices are bound to come, not because we have not produced enough and to spare, but because speculators will be allowed to ship too much out of the country, or to corner foodstuffs and arbitrarily advance prices. There are plenty of signs that they have begun to do this already, in the graduated advance in the prices of all articles of consumption. The war may be of long or of short duration; that is always a difficult matter to determine; but it will be full of horrors while it lasts, not only for those immediately engaged in it, but in some sort by all peoples, as the relations of mankind have become so interwoven that a scarcity, like an abundance, is felt by all in all lands; the wise nation and the wise individual, therefore, should alike protect themselves as best they can from the famine that threatens them in the too rapid consumption of the resources they have accumulated from the past to serve the present needs. J. B. FORAKER The Republicans of the great State of Ohio have registered it as their verdict, in the primary voting of August 12, that the public career of former Senator J. B. FORAKER is at an end. The vote was very close, but W. G. HARDIN-secured a plurality over Senator FORAKER and RALPH D. COLE. Senator FORAKER made a thorough canvass of the State and prior to the voting it was believed by his friends and admirers that he might lead his two opponents. Senator FORAKER was a conspicuous figure in the Federal Congress and the nation for twenty years prior to the elevation of Col. ROOSEVELT to the Presidency: He, always belonged to and often led the Radical wing of the Republican party, and especially so on all matters affecting the Negro people, until the party adopted a policy of conciliation of the white South at the expense of the black South; a policy inaugurated by Senator HANNA and carried out by President McKINLEY, President TAFT and by President ROOSEVELT, in the latter part of his term, when his sensitivity to Southern good opinion became a sickening exhibition of weakness, and was responsible for the Brownville discharge order; and the ultimate retirement of Senator FORAKER, who opposed the justness of the action and espoused the cause of the discharged soldiers. And now they are all politically dead, for the time being—Col. THEODORE ROOSEVELT, President WILLIAM Howard TAFT, Senator J. B. FORAKER, and the Republican party—but the colored soldiers are still on the firing line. LAWLESSNESS BREEDS LAWLESSNESS. It counts for a great deal that so influential a newspaper as the Montgomery (Ala.) Daily Advertiser keeps itself planted on the position that all the citizens of the State should have the same sort of justice meted out to them by the courts. If all of the great newspapers of the South should plant themselves upon that position, and stick to it through thick and thin, we should have very soon a new and better condition of affairs in all of the Southern States. In the last issue of THE AGE we quoted an article from the Daily Advertiser, under the heading, "Murdering Negroes Not, Popular," in which the following sentiment should be reproduced here so that it may have the widest sort of publicity: Let the work of re-enhancing law in Alabama go steadily forward. If a white man murders a Negro punish him as severely as the law and the evidence justify. Punish him as we would punish a Negro for durering a white man. As Dr. Washington long ago said, "there cannot be one law for the white man, and one law for the black man in the South"; there must be one law for both black and white men." When there is no law for the black man, when the white man hogs all the law, disregard and contempt for law naturally creep in and corrupts the whole public body. When a white man is outlawed, as the ALLENS and EDWARDS of Carroll County, Virginia, were, they make their whole county lawless and keep it so, until the State arises in its outraged majesty and exterminates them. When Negroes are put outside the law, or treated as if they were, it breeds among them a lawless disposition. Too much of this has been done in the past for the good of the South, and it is time to call a halt to it. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY Shall the Race Be Represented? To the Editor of The Age: To the Editor OF THE ACE: Shall there be a representative Afro-American in the coming Constitutional Convention? You of Greater New York have the votes; can you not bring for it? You have the votes; can you not bring for it? One with ability, character and brains? It is true that the existing laws safeguard our rights along with other citizens of this great State, but it is also trutha t there is an increasing sentiment to discriminate against us. Is it not possible that this sentiment may find its way into the law with strength enough to weave into the fundamental law of the common wealth clauses that will materially affect our status as citizens? And should such contingency arise shall we have no one to offer a protest? To my mind this is a serious matter. We ought to have some broad-minded man of some other race who will plead our cause. By all means let us have a representative at court. 1 see by publication in "Turtle Age of last week that Miss Ruth Rolston from New Haven, Conn., is preaching in Flushing; N. Y., and is called the evangelist from New Haven. I wish to say that Miss Ruth Rolston has not been given license of any kind in New Haven and I told her that she was not to attempt preaching until she had gotten license. She was recommended to the minister of the year-but was sent lack without license, and I take this method of informing the public and of warning the ministers in the A. M. E. Church not to use Miss Rolston as a preacher or evangelist until she secures license from some church. Pastor, A. M. E. Church 129 Henry street, New Haven, Conn.

A hasty investigation showed that while no flow of blood had been caused by the fall the injury was fatal. All efforts to save the patient's life were unavailing. After an inquiry into the cause of Mr. Corker's death by the Coroner the body was taken to the undertaking rooms of G. O. Paris, 116 W. 13lst street. * : Brief funeral services will be held "over the remains in the chapel of the undertaking- establishment Thursday * mcrning at 11 o'clock. The body of the deceased will be shipped to Charleston S.C, after services, and will be accom- panied by Jesse A. Shipp. © Sam.

Remaining with this aggregation ‘until it disbanded, he next ‘associated himself with "Bob" Cole and J. Rosamond John- son, who had thén joined, hands and were winning Success as song writers and"in vaudeville. | In 1904 Mr. Corker. formed for Nor- -man, J. Normand the Dahomey Company No.'2, with Avery and Hart as princi- pals. This company. was taken to Eng- land, iwhiere it played the provinces with great success, In 1906, when Cole & Johnson starred in “The Shoofly Regi- ment,” Sam Corker, Jr, served in the ‘capacity of’ business manager. One of the feats to which he always -pointed with pride was the securing of a big first:page article’ on Aida Overton Walker in one of the leading dailies of the Middle West during Miss Walker's engagement with The: Red Moon Com- pany. Previously white advance agents had attempted many times tg “land” big Feature stories in the daily papers swith the pictures of colored performers, but with\no degree of success.’ With the closing of ‘the Cole & Johnson Conipany Mr. Corker was next seen as manager of tlie Pekin Theatre, Chicago, return ‘img to New York shortly after the shut: ting down of this unique State’ street tiouse, ,* so = : In recent years the deceased had been identified with numerous theatrical en-" téepfises.

Major Moton’s Sane Advice, Maj., Moton’ was the chief speaker on alicecdsions, He confined himself main- iy to giving sane, wholesome, forceiul instruction to the colored people as_ to the part they’ must play. in, the solution of their problems. He painted out the many. advantages enjoyed. by"them and urged that they prepare theiiselves to make the most of them. He insisted tha: Negroes should be roid of them- selves and"respect the race and thereby win the respect of other races. His message was enthusiastically received exery where. et W. T. B. Williams, field "director of the Jeanes and, Slater funds, spoke on education; Pres. J. M.

MAKES CORRECTION she officers and members of Geth- any, Baptist Church, Brooklyn, have been aroused considerably by the ar- tide in Tue Ave of August 6 con: cerning the going to Washington, D. Gof the former pastor of thy church, the Rey. H. Powell... Some the statements concerning his work at that church the officers claim to be inaccurate. At a regular meeting of thé church held, August 13, the fol- lowing letter was formulated and sub- amitted for publication that the public might be made acquainted with the church's side of the case: - “We, the members of Bethany Bap- tist Chirch, wish fo refute that por- vion of an article published in your paper, dated August 6. 1914, under the heading. ‘Pastor Powell’ Goes “'to Washington: D.C.” which read as follows: ‘When he (Pastor Powell) took charge ‘of the Bethany Baptist Church in 1908, he found a discour- aged congregation, housed in an old dilapidated building out of repair, with-a mortgage of $10.280. a book en- rollment of 303 members which was found to be less than 100.” : “This statement, is incorrect. | “Bethany Baptist Church never worshipped in any dilapidated build- jing. not ven when she was a mission. "That the Rev. Mr. Powell did.not find a discouraged congregation when he took.charge. for we had reduced our morigage $2,000. after the death of our former pastor. the Rev. J. Francis Blair. This mortgage debt was re- duced by the miembers during the va+ cancy of our pulpit, so it can bé seen that we had more to encourage us than to discourage us. “It is not’ true that he (Rev. H. Powell) found-less than. 100 members out of a book of enrollment of 303, for we had moze than that; but 303 were our members in good standing. “That when he (Rev. H.' Powell) took charge.-he ‘found the indebted- ness to be $8,000 ,on mortgage and about $30 on current expense. ~"Done by order of ‘the church in remular business ‘session, August 13, 1914 5 . : . *p xc JacOss, Clerk, “671 Atlantic Ave., Bkivn..
