VOL. XXVII No. 51. BANK IN MOUND BAYOU CLOSED Bank Examiner Stops Business on Technicality while Cashier Is Absent Examiner States there Were no irregularities in the Management but He Was not Satisfied with Collateral. NO APPEAL FROM DECISION Receiver Appointed for Masonic Benefit Association which Had Paid to Widows and Orphans $300,000 in Four Years—Both Companies to Reorganize. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE MOUND BAYOU, Miss., Sept. 15.—On August 19 the State Banking Commissioner ordered the doors of the Mound Bayou Bank, Chas, Banks, founder and cashier, closed for liquidation, because of dissatisfaction with the character of the securities representing the bank's collateral. The examiner announced that there were no irregularities in the management of the institution, but the securities represented Negro industry and Negro enterprises, covering for the most part the progress of the Negro town, and when realized upon would be covered by Negro money; therefore, for his purpose and according to his rule, they were not worth while. This action was taken in the absence of Mr. Banks, who was attending the session of the National Negro Business League. The examiner found, $40,000 in deposits and $9,000 in cash and sight exchange. The banking department of the State is clothed with absolute authority and there is no appeal from its decisions, so there was no recourse. Masonic Benefit Association Suspended The bank was founded eleven years ago and has been a potent factor in the development of Mound Bayou. It assisted in the industrial growth of the community, added an acreage of 30,000 acres, and acted as the fiscal agent of hundreds of the people in this section. Under the new banking law of Mississippi more than one hundred banks have been closed. The Mound Bayou Bank more nearly withstood the pressure than any of the others and many of the leading bankers of the State have expressed the opinion that it should not have been closed by the Banking Commissioner. A week after the bank was closed the Insurance Commissioner appointed a receiver for the Masonic Benefit Association, the pioneer Negro Insurance company of which Charles Banks was secretary and treasurer. Under the new law in Mississippi dealing with the operation of judgments, Mr. Banks found impossible to meet the judgments and pay the new taxes. The assessments collected were not sufficient for that purpose, so he had to ask for the appointment of a receiver. In four years Banks has paid out $30,000 to widows and orphans and at the same time reduced the indebtedness from $250,000 to less than $10,000. S. D. McNair, the receiver, in an address to the employees of the association, said that he had not found the slightest irregularity in the accounts or management, with the office handling approximately $150,000 yearly. Mr. Banks had done better, he said, than anybody else could have done, and ought to be praised, not blamed. No Reflection on Charlie Banks. In the unfortunate days which have come upon these two organizations there is no shadow or reflection upon the good name or business ability of Chas. Banks. Isaiah T. Monagometry, the founder of Mound Bayou, B. H. Creswell, the mayor, and Dr. W. P. Kyle, president of the Bank of Mound Bayou, are full of confidence and are heartily and sincerely co-operating with Mr. Banks in his efforts for the rejuvenating of the defunct institutions. Banks built the $100,000 oil mill, made the $100,000-ice plant a fact, formed the mercantile company, in which he is the largest stockholder, and it was through his efforts the bottling works and steam laundry became actualities. He was also the instrumentality in securing the beautiful Carnegie Library for the town. Investments in Mound Bayou are in no danger. All enterprises and industries are solid and safe. Another bank will be operated in Mound Bayou, for already the business people have made overtures to Mr. Banks to organize another bank. There will be another benefit association for the masons, with rules and regulations changed to conform to the new insurance law, and the windows and orphans of the masonic dead will be cared for as in the past.

The women's auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention convened Wednesday, September 9, at the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Mrs. S. W. Layton, president, in charge. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs of Washington, D. C., made her annual report in which she said that we should have better church and home life among our people. She warned her listeners against slipshod preachers and declared that no good comes from the hundreds of churches which spring up like mushrooms under the direction of a preacher who can make his congregation shout and scream as if a nest of hornets had been let loose among them. Miss Eliza E. Peterson of Texarkana, Texas, lectured Sunday evening on the abolition of the liquor traffic, which was followed by jubilee singing. From Jersey City, N. J. From Oakland, Calif. From Auburn, N. Y. CONCRETE EXAMPLES OF PROGRESS IN OKLAHOMA A Few of the Many Who Have Started with Practically Nothing and Achieved Prosperity by Application and Sound Business Judgment. (By William Anthony Aery.) Foray Tom Watson watermelons, ranging in weight from forty-five to sixty-two pounds, recently attracted and held my attention in Muskogee. Okla, while I was passing through the splendid agricultural and industrial exhibit that had been arranged as a supplement or accessory to the meetings of the fifteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League. Fred Hawkins, a young, slim, dark-skinned Negro of East Muskegee, who is a share tenant, working a dozen acres of rich Arkansas bottom land, raised these melons. He was as proud of his achievement, expressed in luscious watermelons, as any man might be of a rich painting, a beautiful symphony, or a busy factory, which was his own. Hawkins was born thirty years ago in Indian Territory. When he was a mere child he lost his mother and father and was brought up, along with one sister, in a small town in Arkansas, were ignorant of book-learning, taught him to work, to save and to be honest. For two terms Hawkins attended the Orphan Home School on Old Agency Hill, which is on the outskirts of Muskegee. Hawkins is making hundreds of dollars for himself, as well as for his "boss man," from his cotton,corn,sweet potatoes—and watermelons. Negroes in Muskogee. Negroes in Muskocee, some 10,000 out of a total population of 35,000, have already made good in business. Edwin ```markdown ``` From Rachel Wis. From Springfield, Mo. From Newark, N. J. S. Monroe, city superintendent of the public schools, who is a broad-minded official, recently presented to the Negro Business League in Convention Hall, where over 4,000 white and black people had assembled to hear the facts of Negro progress, some interesting evidence that he had gathered. In Muskogee County, said Mr. Monroe, Negroes own and control 50,000 acres of valuable agricultural and oil land; Negroes own city real estate in Muskogee that is worth $1,500,000; the Negro business concerns of Muskogee have a value of at least $1,000,000. Here is a partial list of the Negro business enterprises of Muskogee, according to Mr. Monrog: One clothing store for men, 1 drygoods store, 1 ice company, 1 plumbing and plumbing supplies shop, 6 contractors and builders, 12 barber shops, 5 concrete contractors, 50 grocery stores, 4 drug stores, 1 harness shop, 20 restaurants, 8 blacksmith shops, 12 shoe shops, 12 tail shops, 1 dairy, 2 ice cream stores, 10 coal dealers, 2 undertakers, 1 steam laundry, 3 livery stables, 12 real estate brokers, 4 cab lines, 1 moving picture theatre, 1 bottling works. There are 30 Negro preachers, 4 dentists, 4 pharmacists, 14 lawyers, 3 nepicaliologists, 15 Baptist, 6 Methodist, 1 Christian, 1 Episcopal churches, 1 Church of Internal orders, 2 churches in the肌肉学校. Muskogee has four fine schools for its Negro children. The boys of the Manual Training High School did all the carpentry work last year on a strictly modern, six-room cottage, 41 by 47. feet, worth $2,000 and renting for $20 a month. The aggregate value of the Negro schools is $80,000 and 36 Negro teachers are employed in the public schools. Successful Negroes in Oklahoma. J. E. Thompson, of Clearview, Okla, which is one of several prosperous Negro settlements, controls, 5,000 acres of farm land; furnishes employment throughout the year for many members of his race; grows crops that are worth selling and brings the market to his products. The son of a slave woman, he began at the age of thirteen to farm on the half-and-half plan. After, making several good crops as a sharer, he bought 20 acres and then his real struggle commenced. To-day, at the age of fifty-five, Thompson actually owns 1,800 acres. S. J. Favor, of Shiloh, Okla., who came originally from Georgia, started with $1.25 in Oklahoma. To-day he owns 1,400 acres and is a *progressive* From San Antonio, Texas. From Cleveland, Ohio. From Geneva, N. Y. ENGINEER EMPLOYED AS WAITER IN RESTAURANT Investigation by The Age of Industrial Conditions to Open New Avenues CHANCES FOR GETTING WORK Men and Women with Trades and Professions Employed at Other Work Because of Failure to Secure Work for which They Are Trained.

Church, Brooklyn, the Rev. C. P. Coles, pastor, are up in arms because of the action of Pastor Coles in refusing to receive Wayman D. P. Wilson, an expelled member, into the membership of the church on probation. This action was taken last Sunday night at the regular service in the presence of Presiding Elder Walters. Bishop Evans Tyree and the Rev. J. W. Rankin, secretary of missions. It is reported that a great commotion ensued when the members realized that the application of Wilson for reinstatement had been refused by the pastor, many of the members claiming that the discipline of the church calls for the restoration to membership of any expelled person when contrition and confession is followed by application to the church. It is also claimed that anyone can join on probation and that there is no precedent for Pastor Cole's action. The matter was taken up in the meeting of the official board on Tuesday night, according to information received, and members of the board are reported to have declared to the pastor that he had no right to defy church law by refusing to accept Wilson on probation. Wilson's public rejection and humiliation has caused many who were opposed to him to take up the cadgels in his behalf. SAVANNAH HAS NEW SAVANNAF, Ga., Sept. — John W.

LAST WEEK OF BEAUTY CONTEST Judges will have many Types of Beauty from which to Make a Selection of the "CHosen Fifteen." Age Subscriber Cannot Attend Festival at Manhattan Casino, but is Ree Arxious to Obtain Those "Chosen Fifteen" Most Beautiful Girls. This is the last week for entry of photographs in the Beauty Contest conducted by THE AGE and the National Exhibition and Amusement Co., in which the "Chosen Fifteen" most beautiful women of the Negro race will be selected and awarded handsome solid gold prizes. From every section of the country photos are coming, and the indications are that they will continue coming up to the last minute of Monday, September 21, the final day on which they will be received and entered, and possibly there will be some received after that time. The interest excited is country-wide and if every State is not represented certain it is that every section. The Beauty Contest editor has had his hands full in keeping record of the entries, and the judges' task is assuming herculean proportions. But it will be well and capably handled and the verdict will be the result of careful, unbiased action by the jury. As has been stated, the contest will be in connection with the Autumn Festival, which is to be held at Manhattan Center from September to October 2. The contest closes, September 21, and the judges are expected to announce on the nighting of the festival the names of the "Chosen Fifteen", most beautiful women of the Negro race in the United States. In addition a separate award will be made to the one woman chosen by the judges as the most beautiful in New York City or adjacent territory within a radius of 60 miles. The photographs of the "Chosen Fifteen" and of the local beauty will be on exhibition at the Casino on Thursday night, October 1, when all persons attending will receive as a souvenir a handsome folder in which will be printed beautiful half-tonne pictures of the "Chosen Fifteen." Some Interesting Letters Received. Letters received by the Beauty Contest editor show that the most lively interest in the outcome of the contest exists. From Montgomery, Ala., a subscriber to THE AGE writes: "Please inform me how can I obtain those "Chosen Fifteen" beautiful girls? I am real anxious to have them. As I cannot be at the Casino that night, I am awaiting an early reply." Of course, the subscriber did not really mean he wanted the girls; he wants the souvenir production which is to be given away on the night of October 1. Another letter, enclosing the picture of an American girl who is in Germany, said: "I think this contest gives our race a grand display of fine looking women." From Sheridan, Wyo., comes a request that if the group of the "Chosen Fifteen" is to be sold, please inform about the price. From Rochester comes a letter saying: "Please enter these photos in the Beauty Contest because I feel the Flower City should be recognized in your grand and noble attempt, to show to the world that we as a race have got some of the most beautiful women the sun ever shone upon." An Interesting Task. Among the pictures reproduced this week is one concerning which the following letter was received: "In your issue of August 27 there was a method suggested that the portraits be grouped in five classes. I hardly know what type I would he classed with. 'My father is one-half Negro, one-quarter Indian and one-quarter white; my mother is an octooroon, with a mixture of French and Irish.' It will be an interesting task to try and pick out the young woman's picture which is referred to in this wise. It was hoped that all the pictures received could be reproduced in the columns of THE AGE prior to the conclusion of the contest. But that will be an absolute impossibility. Although the columns' of the paper have been taxed each week in the effort to give as many photos as possible, there are now on hand, nearly one hundred photos which have not been reproduced. In THE AGE of Semester 24 and October 1 as many more as can possibly be used will appear, but it does not now seem probable that all can be used. This is a source of regret to THE AGE management, but it shows also how much pulling power THE AGE has with its readers. It is most gratifying to secure such results in so short a time. While the contest is limited to women of the United States, pictures have been received from Canada, from British Columbia, and from Germany, the United States, the United States their pictures will be considered in the contest. Handsome solid gold bar pins will be awarded the "Chosen Fifteen," and the most beautiful woman in New York and vicinity will receive in addition a beautiful solid gold javalliers and chain. Each prize will be suitably engraved, commemorating the Beauty Contest of Tire New York Ace and the Autumn Festival of the National Exhibition and Amusement Cos. at Manhattan Casino, September 28 to October 2. NEGRO TO ADDRESS INTERNATIONAL BODY. Special to Tire New York Ace. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Sept. 15. -For the first time, in the history of the International Congress on Home Education, to meet for the first time in America, September 22-29, in this city a Negro will read a paper before that body in the person of Dr. John P. Turner of Philadelphia. He has also been appointed one of the committee of seven censors to review and pass on all papers read before the American Open-Air School Association, a part of the above congress. Dr. Turner has been invited to read a paper on "The Open-Air Class at the Thomas. Durham Public Class." His PETER H. HARRIS DR. JOHN P. TURNER position as medical inspector of public schools, representing a district in which there are more than 3,000 children under his direct and daily supervision, where the most delicate skill is required as well as highest efficiency maintained, amply qualifies him to produce such a paper with credit to himself and the race. When the permanent medical inspectors of the public schools of Philadelphia were appointed by the Director of Public Health two years ago he was the only Negro. Dr. Turner will go as a delegate from this city to the National Medical Association, to be held at Raleigh, N. C. August 26, and will deliver an address, subject: "The Value of School Medical Inspection." He is an assistant surgeon in the Douglass Hospital, medical director in the Keystone Aid Society and one of the official examiners of the Knights of Pythias.

Something NEW: --- MOUND BAYOU STANDING UP. the Bank of Mound Bayou has closed its doors. The Masonic Benefit Association of Mississippi has surrendered to the authorities. And the only unexcited part of the Negro population is the Mississippi Negro. Already Mound Bayou is planning a new bank, and the Grand Lodge of Masons has been summoned in extra session by Grand Master MORGAN for the purpose of forgetting the past and meeting the present. The resourcefulness of the Mississippi Negro is proverbial and seems equalled only by the resourcefulness of two Mississippi Negroes. The Bank of Mound Bayou, of which CHARLES BANKS was cashier and founder, ought not to have been closed, in the opinion of the best bankers in the State. Not a single irregularity of ever so slight a character was found in the books, and not a penny was out of place. The authorities were dissatisfied with the securities, we learn; and we learn also that such securities are in place covered much of the industrial progress of the race. Our news columns to-day remind us that there is no appeal beyond the decision of the State bank examiner. CHARLES BANKS wrought wonderful things through the Bank of Mound Bayou. He built a community through it, and through it cared for the general progress of his people. Citizens of Mound Bayou, the word comes to us, are no frame of mind for harsh criticism of Mr. BANKS, for what cateat he may for the moment suffer marks a victory for the best known of the black cities, and for him. The closing of the Masonic Benefit Association came years after the end was expected. The postponed demise is due to the skill of Mr. BANKS, who was secretary and treasurer of it. Organized in 1881 by the older leaders among colored Mississippiians, the "M. B. A." was founded upon an unsound basis and run along upon forbidding lines. When its course had been run, the end came; and the end will come to a concern that promise to pay a policy the value of which is 75 per cent higher than the premiums upon it. The Masons of Mississippi will keep this, in mind, when they meet a gain to plan their new endowment department, and the Pythians there will find it wise to remember it. That must have been financiering of the high type, that allowed Mr. BANKS to pay out $300,000 to widows and orphans in four years and all the while cutting down an inherited, indebtedness, of $250,000 less than $100,000 on collections winding month by month. And the job would have been easier for the persistent machinations of the fraternal politicians and the white folks" Negro, both of whom are big nusances in the life of the clobed people of the South. As the Bank of Mound Bayou so it in the matter of the "M. B. A." he part played by Mr. BANKS was instructive and played against adults such as few men have survived half as long. One of the strongest allies with Mr. BANKS is ISAIAH T. MONTOMERY. His testimony is that it took a fate-challenging heart to undertake what proved to be crowns of achievements for Mr. BANKS. These two, men are yet hand in and in their efforts to restore and heal the wounded city, and, along with the big leaders of the big Negro State, give the Masons a new recessivity, built on facts and not on REFORM IN CHURCH METHODS DENIED. Nothing should be more discouraging to those who wish and labor for the good and advancement of the race in all honorable directions than the attitude of some of our public institutions and those selected to administer their affairs towards those who criticize their methods when these seem to be contrary to sound business principles and public policy. Our churches and fraternities are governed for the most part by people who seem to regard them and use them as "private snaps," to use an expression once common in American politics. Far from being such, they have a public relation which they cannot disclaim, the influence of which operates from outside the organization, but is mighty to aid or destroy. There are very few, enterprises among us of any character that do not depend in this way upon public toleration and indirect support. This is true in a special sense of our church and fraternal organizations. It is unfortunate, therefore, that their administrators should so often take the attitude that they are a law unto themselves, and regard those who criticize them and their methods as impertinents. After they have got into public office by fair promises politicians often do the same thing, and frequently when they come up for endorsement the people vote them back into private life with a fierceness that makes their heads swim. This oft-repeated condemnation, however, teaches the politicians who come after the discarded ones very little of the truthful saying, that "whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." It has not been a pleasure, but a duty, for THE AGE, during the past few years, to be compelled to criticize the methods of certain of our churches and fraternities, and those responsible for those methods. We have been disappointed that our desire, in the interest of such organizations and their public sympathizers and membership, to render the highest possible service to them, has been misconstrued and resented in a way that reflects nothing commendable upon those who have taken offense, where none was intended. It is an old saying, however, that "the gallled jade will wince." As we announced in THE AGE of last week, we have not only nothing to retract, but shall continue to fight bad men and bad methods in our churches in all of our other organizations, where their interests touch the public at large, the great body of the people, whose good name and reputation are so easily affected injuriously by the misconduct of their individual members or responsible organizations, both of which too often overlook or ignore their public relationship and consequent responsibility. It is for THE AGE to do this for them as often as occasion calls for it, and as it has done in the past it will continue to do in the future. The public interests must be respected. Reform in church methods is demanded in most of our church governments by the representation of their members in correspondence in our church newspapers, by common report and of our own observation and knowledge. Calling the editor of THE AGE hard names and accusing him of all sorts of impossible offenses will not help matters in the least. They should know that, and do, but close their eyes to the truth. Take, for example, the following scandalous statement, made in the Atlanta correspondence of THE Age of last week: ATLANTA, Ga. Sept. 8.—That not more than 25 per cent. of the money raised in the conferences of the A. M. E. Church for missionaries, superannuates, widows and orphans reached its proper destination is the charge made by the Rev. C. M. TANNER, pastor of Big Bethel A. M. E. Church, this city; and he states further that if only 15 per cent. of the dollar money, conference missionary money and Easter money were received by the beneficiaries they would be receiving not less than $15,000. This condition is brought about, affirms Dr. TANNER by the fact that the funds for the conference beneficiaries remain in the conferences and thus is convenient for misappropriation and mishandling by the ones who handle it. At the general conference of the A. M. E. Church held in Kansas City in 1912 a bill was offered to create a new department into which he paid the money for missionaries, superannuates, widows and orphans. The bill provided for a amendment was made which filled the gaps in the funds. The proposed measure was passed, but an amendment was made which filled the gaps in the funds. The beneficiaries should be placed in the hands of a treasurer elected by the annual conference who would disburse the same. Dr. TANNER declares that this was a mistake, as twenty years' experience on conference finance committees had convinced him that there was no way to get the money for conference beneficiaries into their hands as long as it was kept no change. It is openly violated. The beneficiaries are really getting less than 25 per cent. of the money raised for them. In what way the money intended for widows and orphans and unworn preachers is diverted or withheld is shown in the same article as published in THE AGE of last week, and we invite those of our readers who have not read the article to do so, in order that they may be in position to judge as between the position of THE AGE and those interested in the affairs of the Church who contemn THE AGE and who would cover up rather than expose wrongdoing, to the end that they may have blood money and advancement in the Church to which they are not entitled. If Bishop GAINES is in Heaven he should be able to see and to acknowledge that his alleged misappropriation of money intended for widows and orphans and poor preachers in the New Jersey Conference, for the exposure of which THE AGE has been severely, arraigned by churchmen as disloneest and tyrannically disposed as Bishop GAINES was all wrong; the same sort of churchmen desire now to justify Bishop HEARD's methods of getting money for a motor boat for his work in West Africa and remaining in this country most of the time, when he should remain in the field of his work in West Africa all of the time, as Bishop J. ALBERT JOHNSON of his church does and has done, and whose work in Africa is most commendable. Public offices, in the Churches, in the Fraternities, as well as in the State, are not "private snaps," they are public responsibilities, and those who, hold them by the suffrages of their electors may as well understand that now as later. fancy's open heart. Out of the babbling we have heard about Mr. BANKS; it is pleasing to have the word of a responsible witness. STEWART-GWYNNE COMPANY, one of the biggest firms in all the South, heard that the "dogs of war" were yelping at Mr. BANKS' heels. Dealing with him as his factor they could well bear testimony as to his habits of mind, his efficiency and his methods. In a striking letter from them to Mr. BANKS occurs this paragraph: As you know, we have always shown that we had confidence in your honesty and integrity and do not think that you would do anything, that was wrong. We think that it will be much to your personal interest to be relieved from your duties at the bank and other office duties. That is the opinion of all fair-minded men who have followed the labors of CHARLES BANKS, in many respects as remarkable a man as we have given to the nation. DR. WASHINGTON'S ENG. LISH TOUR The announcement that Dr. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON has been invited to make a lecturing tour of Great Britain early in the coming year is of more than passing interest to the readers of THE AGE and the colored people at large, as there is so much that the British people should know about the American Negro that they do not know and that Dr. WASHINGTON is so eminently competent to tell them. It is quite natural that Mr. ANDREW CARNEGIE, who is, so deeply interested in the colored peo- ple, should be interested in Dr. WASHINGTON's proposed tour. The Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society; of London announces Dr. WASHINGTON's intention, and he will presumably lecture in Great Britain under the direction of that organization. Mr. CARNEGIE says, in a short letter concerning the proposed tour: "I am greatly pleased to hear that Dr. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON is coming to Europe next spring to lay before public opinion some facts concerning the prosecution of the Negro race. I know of no better or as valuable role. Who I write on Dr. WASHINGTON, who, as I wrote on you on a former occasion, is a Joshua 'and Moses' combined. If I can be of any further assistance to you in making this tour a success, kindly let me know." Of late years there has been a great falling away of interest and sympathy for the American Negro on the part of the British people; having too largely adopted the United States, under-estimate of him, of what he stands for, and of the proper consideration that should be given him as a "man and brother," and as a Christian and fellow-citizen, no longer in the position of the stranger in the population of Great Britain or the United States, but a part of their flesh and blood and their law and equity, which they cannot abuse, however much they think they can, without provoking the wrath of the spirit of their own laws and customs which they make and enforce. That should be plain to all of them; but it appears to be so to none of them. Dr. WASHINGTON should be able to make them see the truth, however they stay regard and treat it after he has made them see it. **WAR LORD** Those who rush into trouble often are unable to get out of it by the same way they rushed, in upon the same principle that it is easier to start a row than to quell one, or to light a fire than to put it out. The aged FRANZ JOSEPH of Austria, who first drew the sword upon little Servia, and Emperor WILLIAM of Germany, who drew the sword upon little Belgium in order to get at big France, and in sympathy with the Austrian, both having no quarrel just, have found out to their sorrow, and that of their people, that it is easier to draw the sword than to sheathe it, and they will find out, what others have found out before them, that it is easier to contract great war debts than to pay them. Last week the battle of the allies to keep the Germans out of Paris, after the contest had swayed from side to side for weeks, like the ebb and flow of great waters; resulted in halting the Germans and in their retreat, with all of its disasters and horrors, among the latter it being reported, that the German, War Lord, had lost four of his seven sons, the Crown Prince among them, in battle. This is enough sorrow for one father at one time, while the failure to enter Paris and the retreat are humiliation enough for one Emperor at one time. But his cup is not yet full. His armies are demoralized, and the Russians have defeated and routed his Austrian ally, so that he may have to sue for peace and take it and terms his enemies, will dictate. It is a bitter cup, even the dregs of it, but those who draw the sword without just provocation should always have to drink it. A CHIVALROUS SOUTH- ENER. There are many men in public life in the South who are a disgrace to their country and to the States which they are supposed to represent. The recent defeat of Blessed in South Carolina, however, shows that the best sentiment of the South is not aligned with its reactionaries on the race question. If we did not know this to be true, we should lose heart over the southern situation. As it is, we know that they are many strong, brave, chivalrous men in the South who are determined to see that the Negro has at least a fair chance in the race of life. One of the bravest and most chivalrous of these Southern representatives in Congress recently delivered a speech in the United States Senate, which we beg to quote in its entirety. Speaking of a resolution introduced by Senator T. S. Martin of Virginia, in the interest of an appropriation for the Negro Emancipation Celebration in Virginia, Senator FRANK S. WHITE of Alabama, spoke as follows: Mr. WHITE; Mr. President, I wish to concur in what the Senator from Virginia (Mr. MARTIN) has said; but I want to speak for the Negroes of the South, not of Virginia alone. I do not know much about the Negroes in other sections of the country. I suppose they they sprang from Southern Negroes, they to have done well anywhere. These people have accomplished more than we had any right to expect they would have accomplished. The Senator from Mississippi (Mr. VARDAMAN) is right when he says they have not been badly treated in the South. They have been treated well and they have not been the outcry people well. It has not been their treatment, Mr. President, that has burdened them; but it was a condition, and that condition was slavery. They have emerged from that condition and have made wonderful strides in progress. If they had not been interfered with after they were emancipated, they have lived, there never would have been any strife between the Southern white man and the Southern Negro; they would have continued to live-together in peace, as they had done for generations past. We had shown our friendship for each other for more a century. They were not brought there by us; they were held at our doors; others were brought to us as saviors. We lifted them through slavery from savagery to civilization and manhood. He has been our burden in the past; he was our burden when he was a slave; and yet, Mr. President, he contributed wonderfully to our race. We can point to as fine a race of white men as ever lived from the South, and those men received from the soil and sacrifice of the "Nugroos" the means with which they educated and accomplished. We are grateful to him for that he has given us the opportunity to show our gratitude by way of arguing this appropriation for their benefit and to show the world what they have accomplished since acquiring freedom. But, Mr. Egesident, we are more truly grateful to them for what they did for us during the struggle in which their freedom was the issue than for what they did for us in other times. When all the coloured man had to do to obtain his freedom was to cross the line and take up arms, against ours. He stood by our side and fought our battles in the air and at night; he marched with us by day; he held our horses and guarded our tents while we stood, in battle line and met death by thousands. he supplied our every want; he guarded our homes and protected our women and children; he was indeed our friend. He showed his friendship and his loyalty as no other stand on earth, had ever done by standing by us in the hours of our trouble. The black men of the South carried their dawn back to the back, the sons, who had fallen in battle back to their mother's arms. They bore our sick and the wounded to them; and when they, came bearing in their hands these precious burdens they so endeared themselves to us that it has never been forgotten; to say, Mr. President, in this presence, that nothing I have done, no appropriation for which I have voted, gives me more pleasure than does this one. To enable the black man of the South to show what he has achieved under the tutelage of the Southern white man while he was a slave, and with his co-operation since his freedom, and by his success, he had placed upon him the responsibilities of manhood, affords me genuine pleasure. Those who know Senator WHITE, in Alabama, speak of him as among the fairest of the citizenship of that State, in all matters which concern the permanent progress of the Negro people. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY "THE NEW: WILBERFORCE." To the Editor of The Ace: The indignation of Wilberforce University and 'a large body of alumni and undergraduates at the article with the flipper title found in The Crisis for August, compuls 'n reply, though we were not so accustomed to where usually merit only silent contempt unless the editor gives a tangible hold by becoming sponsor for them. Such an article, we are accustomed to seek at once the motives inspiring it. In this case we are wondering whether it was inspired by a malicious desire to strike the college department in particular, to bellow what it has done and injure its standing and reputation. We are plued spirit which sees an opportunity for realization; or, by a spirit which thus repens personal favors through questionable enquiries. Or. was it real unadulterated ignorance steeped in the insults of readers and those generally acquainted with the situation to judge. One thing is true, however. No one is a real friend to the university or to any of its individual departments or to any of its faculty to organize the work or any one department at the expense of another. And, for any one to cull deliberately, isolate and twist facts to make it appear that the university has a force that is worth while, and try to convey that it is not a part of Wilberforce but a distinct school, is, to speak mildly, an unmitigated attempt to shamelessly use Wilberforce as the motive what the motive. It becomes an attack that cannot be overlooked. Wilberforce has done much recently to honor the scholarly editor of The Critical Review, and to hold the cause and the association his magazine represents. Not three months ago it lynched him to be one of the speakers during its commencement, and was one of the lecturers in the summer school (for the second time) in the department he enunciates, at $175 for five lectures. Wilberforce University has counted $200 for repaid for this by the grateful editor. One thing we state at the outset. The "Now Wilberforce" has been a charity or some years. It is Wilberforce University with all its departments, whole institution with all its departments, and not simply one of them. No part can be greater than the whole. The determination of enemies, internal and external, to try to kill us, to send the very department that is the genesis of the whole, giving birth to all the other and fostering their growth, the part that stands for higher morals, the part that stands for higher morals here are agreed must not only be condemned but put down. The department which the article in The Crisis seeks to put for the whole and which is hired here by the State of Ohio in 1887, because it wished to help Wilberforce University and this was the only way it could do so, and because it was lost and right and did not receive a share of the agricultural land grant under the Morrill Act, which properly belonged to us but which share went to Ohio State University. It was never lost and right and did not receive a share of the agricultural land grant but it is not even now. The authorities, one and all, recognize Wilberforce University with all its departments is a unit and not a conglomerate—until with but one head, and with the president of the university. Ne departmental, head is in need of a person to be in charge of the roles of government are not placed in them. The work is laid out for such things, it is either to do or get out. The article in question is full of disarray. Facts are partially stated in the first paragraph, the jumbled confusion of sentences of the work done, of buildings, of cuts, of culled quotations—all seem designately used to mislead a public ignorant and to confuse the true work and workers. For example, the fact that the financial officer of the C. N. and I. department is combined with that of the supervising officer, the fact that it was so fixed by law some time ago, as was the bond to be given, and it has obtained for years. The sum mentioned is given by the department, and the money appropriated before that time for building purposes but not available until later. This increase of funds which has been going on in the department referred to in the first paragraph thus became a matter of improving growth. Many of the plans for advancement, also, have been in the making for some years, lying in wait for important moment for effective execution. Yes. Willberforce University has grown remarkably in a few years, but the writer utterly ignores the facts of growth. In it—the all round growth that has come from, normal conditions of growth. Thus in all departments standards have been raised, and the rates have been increased, means have been gathered to meet growing demands, and a real building era begun. We are proud of our Sthlor Cottage, Armenian-American college students who were completed some years ago by the state; but one would infer from the writer's article that Emery Hall was also a creation of the department he guilds; over 650,000 so, however, have been hired by the efforts of the president and friends, and this dormitory for the girls of the college department is the one especially considered by all authors appointed to oppose dormitory to the found anywhere in any Negro institution." The military wing of our university, a cut, of which embellished the article in The Crisis is a department that an American has no creation of the department picked out for special laudation by those acquainted with the facts might regard it from the connection made. But the U. S. Government placed in 1984, 1988, when President Cleveland detailed Lloyd, John H. Alexander, the second West Point graduate of color, to organize it for us. The U. S. Government is pleased to maintain it here as Negro instructors, paying all expenses. The paragraph referring to enrollment is garbled, so as to present a false idea. Figures certainly have no purpose in this context. We made heado to say anything. Our enrollment for 1913-14 was 483. We do not pad our rolls. But there was no such increase as 100 per cent, in any departement. We have increased the number dept or his faculty. We have increased our enrollment yearly, we are pleased to say, and this increase has been most largely from without the State, and not from the department, per cent of increase anywhere is found in the college classes. The college affords the major share of the literary instruction to the department name, many of the students take industrial work, as required or desired. So all can boast of increasing numbers. We say, again, that the growth is not phonemal in any place, but can be seen everywhere. We would not. take from any department or person any glory. An is natural we take pride in all our work, but we cannot allow such, invidious comparisons to go unchallenged, when, we know the mute that prompted it. The State of Ohio helps Wilberforce University by sustaining a department which has been gradually built up since 1857 through long years of labor. We are grateful at this confidence shown by the State in our entire work. We hope for more help. It is true, however, that the college needs funds, as for that matter does every other institution. It is no end to need money. It is an easy matter, however, to sit down and spend money under direction or without it when one does not raise such favors should congratulate self upon unusual ability because of this condition, nor should he use the situation to "crow over" or to hurt any guilders from philanthropy or to work. With such an attitude and similar statements from our zealous friends (?) Wilberforce university is apt to be more hindered than helped work. It can well exclaim, "Good Lord, deliver us from such friends." So, I say that it is not mainly to endeavor to be telltle any department before the world as in this case, or to be telltle any department for the uphold of the rice because of some grudge. One thing sure, this article is hound to hurt the writer, to hurt the magazine in which he represents the association it represents, for Willberforce's graduates, faculties and trustees will be a unit in protesting against such a course. "This article that we do have a 'New Willberforce'—an institution which as a whole is due to a remarkable growth within a few years—to a general spirit of uplift and help and endeavor. 'This oldest school for the willberforce' has been held and that has held the honored name of "Willberforce University" since 1866—this school "venerable in age" and full of good works is to-day ONE Willberforce—as one school—a "new Willberforce" indeed, but With all its departments under one head (and he is the president of the whole institution.) and that head drive forever, as in the past, to keep in unity, all in harmony, all advancing. In conclusion, I am reminded of two sayings which seem apropos here, the one being "I will learn is a dangerous thing," (for it turns the head of so many critters), and becausearchaists' famous (or infamously) columnate; something always sticks." As I note the concluding paragraph where the writer "straddles" and makes a point that there is something else worth while while there is University aside from one department, I am further more forcibly reminded that one cannot ride two horses well any one day while riding with theirers. He will either be thrown by the one or kicked by the other-perhaps both. S. SCARIBOUGH, President, Wilberforce, Ohio. RALEIGH, N. C. RAIGHEN, N.

CONCRETE EXAMPLES OF PROGRESS IN OKLAHOMA (continues from page 1.) landlord. He gives his renters comfortable houses, some pasture for their stock, and such conveniences as good shins and running water. Favor won much of his success through diversified farming. Long ago he cut loose from cotton as the sole crop. He advises his fellow farmers to alfalfa and hogs in order to lift their mortgage. Favor advertises on a big signboard at the entrance to his plantation what he hints to sell and also posts a notice of what he wishes to buy. He believes in advertising the name of his farm—"Eastview Stock Farm"—and in conducting his business as expertly as the town merchant or banker conducts his affairs. J. I. Teer, of Holly Springs, Miss, has succeeded in handling people as well as raising farm crops and stock. It was in 1890 that Teer started with ten dollars in borrowed cash to grow cotton—the best cotton. Now he owns 2,000 acres of land worth about $70,000, and employs 20 families which help him care for 20 mules, 100 head of cattle, and vast fields of corn. From being a cowboy, poorly paid and badly sheltered, to being a prosperous plantation owner and stockraiser, is the story of Jake Simmons, one of the keen Negro business men of Haskell, Okla. In 1886 Simmons first began farming and met with a crop failure. He borrowed $80 from his boss and started again, after he had secured a contract to cut 18,000 rails as a side line. He exchanged a trade with the Choctaw country and here he found himself. Now Simmons actually owns, in his own name, 1,800 acres—700 being in active cultivation—270 head of cattle, 150 hogs, and over 700 hens. He owns a tenroom house in which his ten children have the 'conveniences of modern country life. Raises Fourteen-ounce Peaches Logan Morgan, who lives within four miles of Muskogee, Okla., finds that no color line is drawn in the market against his twelve and fourteen ounce Alberta peaches, which bring $2 a bushel in the orchard. Twenty-one years' experience in the Southwest, "as an unlearned man among many grafters," to quote him exactly, has taught him the value of remaining quietly at work and of producing among other crops "peaches that can be grown." Morgan lives married twenty years ago when he had only six "hits" and an $18 pony. Now he owns 1,400 acres of land, with more than one-half their farm holdings in money and cover crops. J. W. Whitlow has the good will and confidence of the best white fokels in Maun County, Ala., because, through thirty years, he has been a good farmer and has added to the prosperity of the community. When Whitlow married he paid fifty cents for a jean coat and borrowed money with which to get a marriage license. For some months he and his wife used three bushels from March to July. Whitlow, now raises 150 bales of cotton each season, makes $75 a month in his milk business, and owns 8 horses, 36 mules, and 1,500 acres of land. Receives Rentals of $1,000 a Month. John B. Keys, who came to Oklahoma as a homemaster in 1891, with $65 in his pockets, is one of the wealthiest Negroes in Okmulgee, a thriving city 30 miles from Muskogee, rich in oil and gas properties. Keys owns a solid block of two-story buildings in the heart of the best business section, together with 6 cotages and 6 store buildings, and has the respect of his white and black business owners. His annual amount to $1,000 a month, from $100,000 worth of buildings, and his receipts from the sale of groceries amount to $1,200 a day. W. Gilliam runs a first-class general store in Oklahoma, Miss., and has for his customers some of the best white people. In March, 1886, Gilliam's father died, leaving destitute a wife and eight children—four boys and four girls. Young Gilliam earned his first money by hunting for old, dirty bones, which he sold for a few cents a bushel. In 1893 he bought his first bill of groceries for $81. In 1897 he began a business in notions with a stock worth $50. A little later he opened a shoe line with $30 worth of good but inexpensive footwear. Now he employs six clerks, does an annual business of over $40,000, and has a substantial brick store. He lives, with his family, in a twelve-room house, has 12 tenants, and owns 80 acres of farm land. W. H. FURNISS GETS BACK FROM GERMANY Among the passengers returning from Europe on the Holland-American liner Potsdam, which docked at New York, New York, on April 15, 1915, was of Indianapolis, Mr. Farniss sailed from Rotterdam, Holland, September 5. During the mobilization of the German army Mr. Furniss was in Hamburg, and he comments most interestingly on the conditions that obtained. One striking feature of the army movement was the alacrity and cheerfulness of the response of the German citizens to the call to arms. He said that the men were daily away while the women with sharp stifling stifness made them farewell. If there was any hesitancy on the part of the men in responding they were most of the award by their women folks. It is considerable difficulty was experienced in seizing message of America, Mr. Furniss finally landed on stage, on his Postdam from Rotterdam, by his son and family, in order to secure comfortable quarters, had to take passage on a vessel calling for Haiyt, from which country they will come on to the United States. About six weeks will be required for the trip. Kempner Harrold and Wife Back From Berlin.

They sailed from New York on the Graf Waldcrsee of the Hamburg-American line on June 4. The outbreak of the war interfered at first with Mr. Harrad's study but he was able to resume his lessons, which were continued until August 24. He left Berlin August 26, and went to England to play in Queens, York, taking a host from Plymouth to Folkestone, England. They spent several days in London sightseeing, and sailed from Liverpool.

To look at things through the white man's eyes, or, to be less figurative but none the less assertive or correct, to maintain the white brother's viewpoint of things and form conclusions thereby, is a besetting sin of the average colored American. This indictment is broad, sweeping and general, and includes members of the race engaged in all avenues of endeavor. Those connected with the theatrical profession and those deeply interested in the welfare of the theatrical profession are, therefore, not excepted. This article is not intended as a tirade against the white man; neither is it my purpose to inflict on the readers of The Age a long dissertation on "Race Prejudice." As to the white man's ideas and methods of doing business, he must be right if results count for anything. He owns all the railroads, large buildings and, big banks; in fact, he owns almost everything. He is a success, which means that in achieving same he is a disciple of such cardinal business virtues as aggressiveness, sacrifice, integrity, reliability, system and competency, and it would be well for the colored man to become thoroughly inoculated with his white brother's viewpoint in this direction. In seeking to drive home the idea that the colored American should look at conditions in the theatrical world as it directly affects him through the colored man's eyes. I have taken a somewhat circuitous route, but there are times when the "a straight line is the shortest distance between two points" process of reasoning is not always the best one. The recent success of the Allies against the Germans, after a journey over a route resembling a line drawn by a two-year-old child, is a case in point. Here we are at the opening of the new theatrical season, awaiting with hailed breath, optimistic, yet apprehensive, the verdict of white vaudeville managers relative to the booking of colored acts. As forecasted in these columns a short time ago, indications are that the colored performer will enjoy a prosperous season, as colored acts will be more in demand, due to the European war, in which German acts are persona non grata in some sections of the United States, as are French and English turns. But what is the colored American doing aside from watching, waiting, talking and scheming to materially change conditions for the better? That is, what great concerted movement is on foot in which the colored theatregoer and colored performer are playing an important part? There is but one answer—none! This strange condition is due in the main to the habit of the colored American to look at things through the white man's eyes. As the white theatrical promoter has not shown for several years an interest in colored theatrical attractions our colored citizens have grown into the habit of rating all racial theatrical propositions far below par. And yet, were white theatrical men to wax enthusiastic over colored theatricals, the colored American would hastily assume a corresponding state of mind and vell hip, hip, hooray! Here is a striking example of the utter inability of the colored American to place an estimate on his own ability until after the white American has given his O. K. Seldom do colored Americans put the proper value on their men and women until the Caucasian has placed his stamp of approval, and yet some of our speakers indignantly deny on the platform that the colored American is in his infantile stage of development. We should not expect the white man to agree with us in toto on matters directly affecting the colored American. In the first place, he is not as conversant with true conditions as we are. He is usually sincere and his deductions and attitude are usually well meant. White people, as a rule, form positive opinions of the colored man from one or two individual instances. Supposing the colored man's methods of learning the white man was similar? He would not be as well acquainted with his pale-faced brother as he is. To my mind one of the greatest fares being enacted in America to-day is the uncompromising insistence of the white people to spend thousands, of dollars annually in research work on various "isms" and "ologies" and their downright refusal to spend a cent in research work toward intelligently and effectively solving one of the greatest questions that affects our body politic. If, therefore, it is true that the white American, to a large degree, is ignorant of conditions as they directly affect us, it behooves us to first form our own proper estimate of value. That the average colored American is oftimes carried away by noise, glare and glitter, and is apt to put his O. K. on the unreal, rather than the real, is admitted. But-individual instances of that sort would have no influence. It is the consensus of opinion that invariably decrees what is and what is not.

The company will open at the Lafayette on the afternoon of Monday, September 21, and the engagement will be for one week only. This season Manager Rudolph Voelcker is presenting; the Black Patti Musical Comedy Co. in a three-act musical comedy entitled "Lucky Sam from Alabam." The book and lyrics of the piece are by Harrison Stewart. Will A. Cooke and Harrison, Stewart have looked after the staging. other field of endeavor. This statement applies to the North, East, South and West. The South is the most fertile section already open for operation. There clean, high-class vaudeville for colored people is in its infancy, prejudice against the mixing of colored and white people in places of public accommodation is rampant, and thousands of self-respecting colored citizens are longing for wholesome, instructive amusement because they have no place to go. The majority of white men in the South who conduct theatres for colored people are doing more harm than good, for they cater to the worst type of Negro and care naught for decency, conducting business for money only. Colored Americans had better look at the theatrical situation out of their own eyes, as they are fully aware of conditions; for, if they wait until the white man sees the wonderful opportunities extant to make money, they will wake up some fine morning to discover that one of the largest and most productive theatrical circuits in the United States is owned and controlled solely by white men, and that the money to run the circuit and enrich the promoters is coming from the pockets of colored Americans, North, East, South and West.

The pick carries off dancing honors and is some drummer. The act is a trifle too long and needs polishing up here and there. It is one of the best new acts that has come to the Lafayette. The engagement of the trio has been prolonged, and the newcomers will be seen at the Lafayette the last half. John W. Cooper, ventrilouquist, returned to Harlem after several months' absence, and scored his usual hit. He is of that school of performers who is always studying to improve his act, and the fact that he is constantly working shows that his policy must be the correct one. Joe Johnson & Co. (known on the big time as Joe Deming & Co.) were hilarious in their parlor car act, and Hale & Roon did a terpsichorean specialty which was classy and entertaining. Austin & Moore, acrobats, opened the bill, putting the audience in a good humor with their work. The bill the second half of last week was the subject of much com- PRICES THURSDAY, SEPT. 17, 1914 plimentary comment. Burris & Austin headlined the bill, doing a blackface turn which contained numerous laughs. Buster Austin bears, watching as a comedian. Another act to score in laugh-making was Floyd & Washington. It cannot be said that this team has an act of "too much sameness," as they introduce quite an original idea, and should experience no trouble getting booking. Marjorie Sipp is back in New York and she went big in songs. Her work shows marked improvement. Steiner & Swayne, Rolls & Co. and George Rose helped in making the bill a strong one. A large turnout is expected at the Lafayette Theatre Friday afternoon and evening of this week, when benefit performances will be given in aid of the Hope Day Nursery. Mrs. Daisy C. Reed and her associates have been working zealously to make the benefit a big success. COMING FROM ABROAD. The large influx of Americans to these shores, who have left Europe on account of the big war is responsible for the presence in New York of a large number of colored performers who have been abroad for many months. Among those to reach New York of recent date are Ida Forcene, known on the stage as "Topsy" Sirene Newarro of Brown and Newarro, Leo Bailey of the former team of King and Bailey, and Pearl Taylor. First Emmanuel Church Sunday marked the closing of the first year of the church's existence. Services "throughout the entire day were largely attended." Pastor Bolden's sermon was impressive. He said, that the Emmanuel-our Lord of Life, placed the righteousness of God as a thing to be sought after on equal basis with seeking the Kingdom of God; therefore His saying may read this way: "Seek first the Kingdom of God, and first the righteousness of God." The righteousness of God is a thing we are, dedevoring to investigate in good things, and the mighty, got a good view of the righteousness God as a thing of equal importance with the Kingdom of God, we shall have to note the difference that we believe there is between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven seems to have been a high social order of existence introduced in human history by the will of God. The central figure and founder of this Kingdom upon earth was His Jesus, the Christ, the Emmanuel. He constituted a new creation which creation is better, higher and holler, than man has ever realized or can dream of. Human beings, by believing in Him, become new creatures, indeed, Sons of God. As Sons of God consigns of the presence of the Spirit of God dwelling within them, having their wills to become obedient to the will of this indwelling presence makes them consciousness on the earth. The Kingdom of Heaven And that they in it, we see, then, that with human bodies, we may be in the Kingdom of Heaven. In this Kingdom the rights of man are compared and contrasted with the rights of the voice within. The holy voice within does not consider the rights of man as having first place. He would have us to think and to do always the things which reform the man and gives glory to the in the Highest and the people on earth to the men of good will. The righteousness of God, therefore is a thing of greatest value for which we should strive. All regenerated and transformed believers have an example set before them of how the righteousness of God was demonstrated in human history. The Emmanuel was made under the law. He lived in penitence obedience to the order of nature. He was a minister of the law given to the Jews. He cleared it of its worthless adulterations and by enforcing its severity upon those who professed to teach it and execute it. He revealed their weakness, but his success, emplified the righteousness of God. He confirmed the promises of God in the covenants. His holy life. His teachings. His miracles were the fulfillment of the prophecies and types. He brought men through belief from the place of servants under the law to a place of God, for they are made heirs and joint heirs with Him, exercising themselves in the righteousness of God. A most interesting session of the Sunday School was held at 2 p. m. After a short study of the lesson, the superintendents of the different departments, of the school made their reports of the work in the various departments to the school, Miss Ackery and Mr. Stein Metz, evangelical workers. These young people charmed all with their earnestness in the work of our Master, Mr. Stein Metz rendered a cornet solo, and Miss Ackery sang, "The Lord is My Shepherd"; Pastor Bolden made the closing remarks in programs in the history of the Emmanuel Literary Society was rendered by Miss Leah K. Walker, and members of the St. James Presbyterian Church choir. The program was in charge of Mrs. Bessie Robinson, Miss Walker acted as mistress of ceremonies. Addresses were made Dr. J. H. Henderson and Mrs. Wesley of the school. The prayer and praise service was led by the Rev. Wm. Hawkins. At 8 p. m., the members of the Life, Liberty and Happiness Society turned out in large numbers to listen to their first annual sermon by the pastor. It is due largely to this society, associated with members of the S. and C. churches, that was organized. The ladies in their white dresses and sashes made a fine appearance. Mrs. Cora Elliot, the vice-president, presented to the church, $8.46 proceeds from the luncheon served during the day. The singing was excellent, and altogether the day was one which the members of the church will always remember. The Willing Workers Circle, Miss Mamie Anderson, president, have given to the church a beautiful pulpit carpet and runner for the aisle. The Flower Committee, Mrs. V. Napoleon, president, keeps the pulpit supplied with flowers. The anniversary services will continue each night, throughout the week, ending Monday night.
