Atkins, secretary of the educational department, made a strong and eloquent plea for a greater consideration of the need of an educated ministry.
Friday morning Dr. Carrington, dean of the Theological Department of Livingstone College, made an interesting talk before the ministers upon the requisites of a prepared preacher, how to preach and prepare a sermon.

Call Bishop's Address His Valedictory
On Friday morning Bishop J. W. Hood delivered his episcopal address. Quite a stir was caused when a member of the conference in discussing the address called it the bishop's valedictory address.
This sentence was provocative of some strong speeches, by several of the men, among whom were Dr. F. M. Jacobs, M. L. Harvey, Benjamin Judd Thomas S. Lang and others. The burden of other addresses pointed to the fact that they did not want Bishop Hood to leave the New York conference as the presiding bishop. They expressed great admiration for him, and for the splendid work he has accomplished during his twenty-nine years as the presiding bishop of this episcopal district.
The bishop carefully reviewed the series of entertainments tendered him last summer by the different pastors, and expressed his appreciation for their efforts. His report showed the work to be in splendid condition both financially and numerically. He said in part:
Not in fourteen years' time, this conference, failed to raise its full assessment of general glimpsa. This conference has led in all the special rallies. In the rally for the first publication house, it raised its portion three times over. If every conference had raised it as this conference, the whole amount have been raised in the first effort. In the Price Memorial it raised 50 per cent. more than its apportionment. In the Vartik rally it raised its full portion. For the theological building and the thank offering and other rallies it raised its apportionment. In 1813 the conference raised $2,650, only $80 less than, 600 per cent. in twenty-eight years. The conference had but one, one thousand Philadelphia and Baltimore conferences seven. The value of church property, has increased from $200,000 to about $1,000,000."
Tonight THE CLEF CLUB ORCHESTRA Tonight
Mrs. Baldwin Believes that Negro Problem Is Also the White Man's Problem and Thinks Race Should Cooperate.
Mrs. Ruth Standish Baldwin, known throughout the country as a stanch friend of the Negro, and who has devoted her time and contributed large sums of money to aid the race in its progress for betterment, has tendered her resignation as chairman of the Executive Board of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, as a member of the board and also as chairman of the Committee on Education and Extension.
In her letter of resignation, tendered to L. Hollingsworth Wood, secretary of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, Mrs. Baldwin asks to be relieved of her duties at once. She has been compelled to withdraw from the league in an official capacity because of ill health.
Mrs. Baldwin is of the opinion that the colored man's problem is also the white man's problem, and in her letter of resignation declares that where the white and colored people band together to seek better conditions among Negroes in various localities conditions are ameliorated for everybody, and that those engaged in the work help in some measure toward a truer realization of the ideals of sound community living in our great republic.

M. DAVID CITY
Mr. David City, M.D.
In accordance with our conversation when I was last in New York, I beg to hand you, for transmission the Executive Board of the N. L. U. C. N. at its next meeting, my resignation as chairman of the board and of the lague, as a member of the Committee on Education and Extension, the same to take effect immediately.
The reasons which impel me to this action now are so familiar to you as to need no repetition here. I am well known to the Executive Board, from the Executive Board, and therefore from intimate association with work of deep interest and growing usefulness. I am also sorry to interrupt personal associations which have been most congenial and inspiring, and in my experience, you are aware that I only accepted the position a year and a half ago because no more suitable person was then available, and I should resign it now with livelier regret had I not crafted, during all this time under the knowledge that the League so needed a for different leadership from that which I could give.
It needs leadership at once aggressive and tacit, from one who can, and will represent it on all suitable public occasions and who is in a position to selize and develop opportunities for the good of others, and all elsewhere, and whose wide knowledge of other efforts which are being made from various angles to better the condition of colored people in all parts of the country will enable him to guide the work of the league, wisely and so far as possible, in cooperation with such other efforts, whether their emphasis be on the economic educational, religious or

Washington, Thomas Jesse Jones, H. L. Simmons, and the new president, F. A. McKenzie. Arrangements were made for the inauguration of the new president early in November and a committee was appointed to be in charge of the inauguration. The report of the treasurer of the university showed that the university had not only been able to pay all of its expenses for the current year, to hold a small meeting of the treasury, not only has the report of the endowment committee showed that nearly all of the subscriptions to the $300,000 endowment fund have been collected. In fact, the reports show that Fisk University is in the best financial condition it has been for many years.

Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.
BALMORE, M., June 16.—Carl J. Murphy, an instructor in German at Howard University, Washington, has been refused admission in the summer school of Johns Hopkins University. He wrote the university officials several weeks ago, telling them that he had received his master's degree from Howard and that he was desirous of pursuing an advanced course in German at the university this summer. Dr. Edward Buchner, director of the summer school, replying to his letter, stated that "no provision had been made for colored men and women."
Though it has never desired colored students, several colored men have studied there. Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of the college of arts and science at Howard University, pursued post-graduate courses in mathematics at Johns Hopkins nearly two decades ago.
When the courses for teachers in public and private schools were begun fifteen years ago, colored men and women were admitted, but the policy is now one of exclusion.
The university's founder, for which it is named, is said to have no stipulation in the giving of his millions for the establishment of the institution that colored students were to be harred.
Mr. Murphy is a son of John H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American Ledger. He was educated in the public schools of this city, and received the degree of bachelor of arts from Howard University in 1911.

INDICTED FOR MURDER
Special to Fug New York Agc.
WINNESWORO, S. C., June 15—Clyde and Ernest Isenhour, brothers, and William Morrison, a brother-in-law, young white men, were indicted for murder by the Fairfield County grand jury on Monday night, June 14, because of the killing by a mob which they led of Sheriff A. D. Doodh of Fairfield County, and Jules Smith, a Negro, who was in the sheriff's custody, charged with assault on a young white woman relative of the three men indicted.
The sheriff was taking Smith to court for trial on Monday morning and had reached the court house when the mofu, led by Clyde Isenhour, attempted to take the prisoner. With his deputies, the sheriff put a stiff defense when the mob attacked despite his warnings. Eight men were severely wounded, besides the sheriff and his prisoner. Although wounded six times, the sheriff managed to escape, where Smith fell dead beside the dead. Sheriff Hood was rushed in a special train to a Columbia hospital, where he died Monday night. A number of witnesses before the grand jury identified Clyde Isenhour as the mob leader.

PROMINENT NEGROES
FAVOR WOMAN SURPRIAGE
The Women's Political Union, 25 West 4501 street, has issued a circular making a direct appeal to the colored citizens, asking the question, "Colored Citizens. Where Do You Stand?" The circular declares that color or sex is no reason for disfranchisement, and quotes Abraham Lincoln as declaring that the privileges of the government should be shared by all who assist in bearing its burden. "by no means excluding women" Attention is called to the fact that 4,000,000 women, white and colored, vote in Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Washington, California, Oregon, Arizona, Kansas, Illinois, Montana, Nevada and Alaska, and that on November 2, 1915, a constitutional amendment enfranchising both white, and colored women in New York state will be voted upon by the men.
Prominent colored men cited, as supporting woman suffrage are Charles W. Anderson, ex-collector of internal revenue. New York: Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of The Crisis, Fred R. Moore, editor of THE NEW YORK Age; the Rev. G. H. Sims, pastor of Union Baptist Church; the Rev. W. P. Hayes, pastor of M. Olivet Baptist Church; the Rev. M. Bulk, secretor of colored man's branch of the Y. M. C. W. David Brown grand master of the Old' Fellows of New York and grand treasurer of the Odd' Fellows of America.
Dr. Ernest Lyon Discusses Question at Joint Ministers Meeting in Washington
Organic Union Possible Only Where Race Homogeneity Prevails but Southern Whites Deny Equity to the Negro Contingent—Civic Equality Nullified.
Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.
Washington, D. C., June 16.—Dr. Ernest Lyon of Baltimore, read a paper on "Organic Union of Methodism in the United States," on Monday, June 14, before the Joint Preachers' Meeting of Baltimore and Washington, in Asbury M. E. Church, 7th and O streets, Washington. A number of representative ministers and laymen from other denominations, were present and took part in the discussion which followed. Dr. Lyon, who has given considerable study to the subject, was master of the situati, and approval of his views was loudly expressed.
Dr. Lyon declared that the pri-
mary causes which brought about schism, thus rendering union necessary and desirable were *Slavery* and the *Negro*. He showed how the two sects differed in principle—one standing for the freedom of the black man, while the other stood for his enslavement; one-standing for his intellectual development, while the other stood for his intellectual debasement and the subordination of his manhood rights.
He said that the Negro owed the M.E. Church a lasting debt of gratitude, for "when others shrank from the fire and the flames, she stood like a heater anvil to the stroke" in support of those unillegible rights guaranteed by the laws of God, to all mankind. He declared that the Negro was the obstacle in the way of Methodist unification; that although slavery was dead, nevertheless its victim still lived; that although the war removed the institution, the "hone" of contention still remained, and this "hone," he declared, was the "unification apparition."
Denial of Equality Prevents Union.
He said that organic union was possible only where race homogeneity prevailed and where the equality of the elements constituting union was conceded. The majority element in the Methodist Episcopal Church and the membership of the southern church are white people, and are homogeneous and equal; hence, organic unity is not only possible but probable with these. But the minority element in the Methodist Episcopal Church is Negro and heterogeneous, and its equality is neither conceded by the majority element in his own church, nor in the church south, with whom this heterogeneous element is not possible. Union, to be effective, must be between equals. Matrimony is based upon the assumption of equality and happiness is founded upon homogeneity. It is this denial of equality, said Dr. Lyon, which has kept the black man from representation on the Board of General Superintendents in the Methodist Episcopal Church.
He said that the removal of this obstacle must involve the surrender of principle or the violation of precedents, and for that reason the question of its removal or adjustment is one of gravity and moment. It is a most noteworthy fact, the speaker remarked, that before the south-would consent to national the spirit of the 14th and 15th amendments of the Constitution, which lifted the freedom to the place of civic equality had to be seriously anilied by disfranchisement, segregation.

Action Taken Without Calling Simmons to Trial or Giving Notice of Intention-Action Unusual in Connection.
Action Follows Ultimatum Issued by Bishop Flipper. to Atlanta Ministers that they Were "Disgusting, Worthless Preachers," and he was Going to Pab Them in Their Places.
Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.
ATLANTA, GA., June 15.—At a meeting of the A. M. E. Ministers' Union of Atlanta the name of the Rev. P. G. Simmons, formerly presiding elder of the Atlanta district, but recently pastor in charge of a small church at Forsyth, to which he was transferred by Bishop J. S. Flipper, was dropped from the roll of members. This action followed a two hours' fight on the floor of the meeting, Simmons' friends trying in vain to stave off the action.
It is being freely circulated around that the expulsion of the Rev. Mr. Simmons is due to the fight he made, in a series of letters to THE NEW YORK AGE on Bishop Flipper for reducing him in work after a long period of loyal service, the letters containing also full and free criticisms of the conduct of Morris Brown University under its present president, the Rev. W. A. Fountain. Mr. Simmons was not present when the action was taken, and it appears that he was not notified or given a chance to defend himself against the contempt proceedings:
Why the Ministers' Union Acted
Reasons advanced for the action by the Ministers' Union, so far as appears on the surface, are that Simmons asked questions about his transfer which implied ulterior motives on the bishop's part; that he dragged in the name of the daughter of Bishop Flipper (for which Simmons published an ample apology) the bishop refusing to accept it); and that in questioning the workings of Morris Brown University he misrepresented the truth. So far as can be discovered, the charge of misrepresentation is based on a statement in one of the letters that President Fountain is a cousin to Bishop Flipper, but Simmons states that this was a typographical mistake made in the Age office, which was taken up and paraded by his enemies as a falsehood.
A representative of THE AGE has secured, a statement from the Rev. Mr. Simmons concerning this latest action, and in this statement Simmons makes the charge that certain men are merely agents of the government are, afraid to show themselves. The following is the statement in part as given by Dr. Simmons:
Statement by Rev. Simmons.
"My wife has informed me that the A. M. E. Ministers' Union of Atlanta, after a two hours' fight on the floor, has dropped my name from the roll in my absence. I am told that the Rev F. R. Simms, D. D., pastor of Big Bethel Church, who has been into three denominations and who, it is alleged, left some of them under a cloud, went out of his way to make a speech that I have been in this church that I am baptized in. He was a Baptist or Congregationalist. He will have all he can say grace over to pastor Bethel and, I am told by some of his officers' that things are very unpleasant there.
"It is said that the Rev. J. H. Kendrick, a henchman of President Fountain, carried some typewritten resolutions to the Union to drop my name. The Rev. Mr. Kendrick could not compose such resolutions if he was at Xero's chop block, but it is some one up at the college who is afraid to show him hand. Just let him pop up and will look like him. I was no why not notice to appear to state why my name should not be dropped. They had all the students out that day to vote against a man who has to help support them. Oh! How unkind they are, but they are made to do this under the lash.
Action Taken By a Set of Cowards.
"Was there ever a time in the history of Methodism when a brother's name was dropped when he was not present to defend himself?" All who took a brother's name were called The A. M. E. Church has always honored of manhood but there is no manhood in it today. Whenever one rises up and questions a bishop's actions it is passed down the line to elbow him and he is not forgiven. The Bishops are not perfect. They are human and are liable to err, and to do wrong in many things. But you must swallow it or they will crush you to death not out of anger or Christian spirit? I need to think that Cold Fellow" and Free Masons meant something, but secret orders mean almost anything when these bishops get ready to kill you...
"Of course, this is an index to what will follow in November. I guess they.

discrimination and other measures cal-
culated to impress the black man with
the idea of inferiority. It 1s plain that
what was left undone under Republican
Tul is now being accomplished under
Democratic rule, In other words, the
Negro is now out of the way and is no
jonger an obstacle in the way of the
umeation of the white man in national
politics. .
Attitude of Negro Toward Organic
‘Union.
In concluding, the speaker discussed
the atutude of the black man toward
the pending question. He said the Negro
m_ the Methodist Episcopal Church
should stand for a place in one of the
quadriennial conferences. ‘This attitude
is rightly expressed an. the Nashville
declaration and in the resolutions passed
at the Washington conference. If he is
to he inthe tumion, he must be in on
terms of equality.” Nothing less. will
preserve.,lus self-respect. But if con-
fention for a place in this organization
will postpone union and thus deprive his
white brother of the desired ain, then
he should accept the next best thing—
especially when that next best thing
would mean the opportunity for racial
development along sniepatideat lines, an
‘opportunity not now afforded én account
of his peculiar environments, At pres-
ent, he lacks the opportunity for self-
Fehance, which Bishop Cranston rleclared
1s an indispensable quality of manhood.
This plan of the Federal Commission,
the speaker observed, was Autonomy,
pure and simplo—the exact plan sug-
gested by him Jn his pamphlet entitled
Antonomy.”:.-The, appears

which at that time was. jpearently hor-
rifying to them. He said he hailed with
delight the change in- sentiment, even
though he regarded with suspicion the
method employed. *
ts Separation Intended?
The Committee on Church Federation
which"meets in a few weeks in Cincin-
nati, has, without warrant, interpreted
that the commission has power:to treat
with other Negro bodies on the subject
Of “Organic Union,” and one of them
who has always been opposed to it, has
been authoristd to approach these
bodies. Does not union with these
bodies imply separation from.the mother
churgh?, the speaker asked. Can the
Negro ‘membership in the Methodist
Episcopal Church in their present posi-
tion treat with sovereign bodies? Be-
fore the Negro membership in the Meth-
odist Episcopal Church can treat with
sovereign bodies, Would they not have
to be set apart so as tO even up the
situation?
Have the Negroes in the church ex-
pressed themselves on this pliase of the
subject? Are these men being used as
the agents of separation® If the church
wants us to unite with these bodies, we
should, as 2 whole, be given an oppor-
tunity to express ourselves Our destiny

THE NEGRO FARMER
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. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON STATES:
The Tuskegee Institute has no financial interest or control over this new publication, but some of the active officers of the institution and some of the successful farmers have been involved in compiling great good but will be a paying investment. The paper is backed by a strong organization and funds have been provided in order to support the publication of THE NEGRO FARMER with its 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.
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

MRS. BALDWIN RESIGNS.
It is with regret that The Age finds it necessary to publish today the resignation of Mrs. Ruth Standish Baldwin from the chairmanship of the executive board of the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes. Mrs. Baldwin, as is well known, is the widow of the late, William H. Baldwin, Jr., who was president of the Long Island Railroad. Mr. Baldwin himself was a man who was intensely interested in the welfare and betterment of the Negro race. He gave largely not only of his means but of his time to the cause of Negro education and uplift. He belonged to that staunch class of our friends that is fast passing away.
Since her husband's death Mrs. Baldwin has kept up the work which was so close to his heart. She has not only kept up the work, but she has gone forward with it. The Urban League which is covering such a needed and unique field, a field not covered by any other organization, is largely the result of her philanthropy and labor. Her interest in bettering the conditions under which Negroes live in cities is so great that nothing less than poor health could have caused her to resign from the League.
A woman of means and refinement, Mrs. Baldwin has not, like the Pharisee, contented herself merely with giving tithes for charity, but she has gone among those who were poor and lowly and given her services.
We call the particular attention of our readers to Mrs. Baldwin's letter of resignation, and ask them to read it carefully, to read beneath the words, and gather not only all that she says, but all that she feels.
The last sentence would make a high and broad platform for all who are working in the interest of our race. We repeat that sentence here:
"Let us work, not as colored people nor as white people for the narrow benefit of any group alone, but together as American citizens, for the common good of our common city, our common country."
PREPARATION.
This is called an age of specialization; that is, success depends upon being able to do some one particular thing well. It is an age that denies success to those who are able to do many things, but none of them well.
Specialization requires preparation, and the wisdom of the world has decided that the simplest, quickest and surest plan for preparation is a sound education.
The Age, through its Scholarships, is offering the opportunity to secure just that kind of education. Write to-day for information, as the offer will soon be withdrawn for the coming school year.
"THE NEXT GREAT WAR."
Dr. C. William Schelander, an 'American missionary, who has spent twenty-two years in India, has just returned to this country. Upon his arrival Dr. Schelander gave out the following statement which, even though it may not be in accord with actual facts, is, at least, interesting from a psychological point of view: "believe the yellow peril is a possibility," said the missionary when all the Indian East is watching events and waiting to take part when the time is ripe: They all see the white races of the earth arrayed against each other. They see their conquerors being killed by the thousands. Day by day the strength of the white men of Europe is weakening. Every hour that prolongs the battle and gives to death a heavier toll brings nearer in their eyes the dawn of Asia's opportunity. "What the hour arrives it will be India's China and Japan in sporadic rebellion against England and Germany and Russia. It will not be Asia against Europe. It will be the Orient against the Occident. Between the two peoples there is an antagonism that is coeval with creation and that will outlast the reckonings of time."
Dr. Schelander has lived in India for twenty-two years, therefore it goes without saying that his opinions on all things oriental should be worth a great deal more than any which we might have; nevertheless, we differ with him on his statement regarding the great war of races which he predicts.
Recent and current history, so far as we have read it and been able to understand it, show no indications that the people of Asia are lying in wait for an opportunity to wage a war of conquest and vengeance against the people of Europe. Even Japan, the martial and the only prepared nation among Asiatics, does not evince any desire for such a war. It happens, rather, that the people of Asia, led by Japan, are planning only to regain and preserve their absolute independence. If it should come to war it would be a war of defense and not aggression. It would be a war to re-establish the right of the people of Asia to govern themselves. It would be a war to destroy the fallacy to which Imperialism gave birth, that the earth and the fullness thereof was designed especially and solely for the enjoyment and profit of the white nations of the world.
If we are right regarding the facts, what then could have prompted the statement made by Dr. Schelander? His views are not those of a tourist on a six weeks' cruise to the Orient, so they must be considered seriously. His twenty-two years of work as a missionary among the people of India must have placed him in close touch with their inner life; so there must be something more than a passing observation or a snap judgment behind the fears which he expresses. What makes him feel that the people of Asia are eagerly watching the war in Europe, and impatiently waiting for the moment when the white nations will have become so weakened that they, the Asiatics, can safely spring upon them?
We draw the conclusion that Dr. Schelander's fears are purely psychological. He is evidently a man with a sense of justice. His long residence and his intimate life in India have given him the time and opportunity to see and know the great injustices, wrongs and injuries which India has suffered at the hands of England. He undoubtedly believes that in accordance with the Eternal Laws these wrongs must at some time be righted and atoned for. And he knows that if the people of India and all the Orient should take it into their own hands to right their wrongs, using the white man's method of force, the result would be a war of extermination and vengeance too horrible for contemplation.
This is the thing that is preying on Dr. Schelander's mind and which prompted his statement. He places the white race in the position of a man who has grievously wronged another, and who is haunted by the fear of what will happen to him should he ever fall into the power of the one he wronged.
Dr. Shelander evidently cannot ease his conscience with the argument commonly advanced that whatever wrongs England may have inflicted upon India are entirely outweighed by the benefits she has bestowed: that India to-day instead of being a land wasting time in dreams of transcendental philosophy, is fast becoming a land of railroads and factories. He knows that the taking of the Hindu away from his philosophical dreams and yoking him under a system of modern industrial slavery is being done primarily for the benefit of British bond holders, with little or no thought for the welfare of the people of India.
In the last sentence of his statement, in speaking of Orientals and Occidentals, Dr. Schelander says, "Between the two peoples there is an antagonism that is coeval with the creation and that will outlast the reckonings of time."
Here the doctor dropped into the sort of bombastic rhetoric which we are accustomed to get from the class of orators who prate about "the great barrier between the white man and the Negro, placed there by God at the foundation of the world, etc., etc."
The doctor is wrong. We need not go back to the creation, but only a few thousand years to reach the time when the people of northern Europe were not in a position high enough to call for even the contempt of the people of India. At that time they had not reached a plane high enough to make them the objects of such an emotion as hatred.
We do not believe that the people of the Orient have any such feeling of antagonism. If they hate white people, the hatred has been brought about solely by what white people have done to them. If the white nations of the world fear the sort of war predicted by Dr. Schelander, they have a very simple way of averting it. They need only to acknowledge and recognize that Orientals are entitled to the same human rights that white peoples are entitled to, and to refrain from interfering with those rights.

President's latest note to Germany was
but surely slapped down the tobogg
with the laws that govern motion on a
travels, the faster he goes.
Bryan issued his first statement setting
ing, he loomed up before fully one-half the
riotic statesman. The two reasons which
daken appealed to a great many people.
A great many people nodded their heads.
Americans should be warned against travel
longing to the belligerents. They asked
Americans going over to Europe to take snap-
ould, by traveling on a ship which they did
There is no doubt that ex-Secretary Bryan, since the day on which the President's latest note to Germany was despatched, has been gently but surely sliding down the toboggan. And, in accordance with the laws that govern motion on a toboggan, the farther he travels, the faster he goes.
When Bryan issued his first statement setting forth his reasons for resigning, he loomed up before fully one-half the country as a farseeing, patriotic statesman. The two reasons which he gave for the step he had taken appealed to a great many people as sane and reasonable. A great many people udded their heads and aged with him that Americans should be warned against traveling in merchant vessels belonging to the helligereents. They asked themselves why a few Americans going over to Europe to take snap-shots or for their health, should, by traveling on a ship which they didn't have to go on, take the chance of making all the rest of us go to war.
Of course, when the President's note was published it was so much milder than the country had been led by Bryan's action to expect, so much milder than the one Bryan had signed, that the ex-Secretary was at once placed upon the inclined plane. But it was his own subsequent statements that gave him the shove off.
If Bryan had stood pat on the two reasons he first gave out, his position, though on the toboggan would be still at the top, and stationary. But Bryan has continued to issue statements. The statements stirred his slide, and each subsequent one, instead of acting as sand, has acted as a lubricant.
We know of nothing able to stop Mr. Bryan's downward flight except to convince the country that the note sent to Germany was essentially different from the one he refused to sign. But, as Kipling would say; that is another story. Personally, we should like Mr. Bryan's slide stopped, or more,
we should like to see him slide back up the toboggan; for he cannot be nearly so useful at the bottom of the slide as he could be at the top.
SOME RECENT PUBLICATIONS
We are indebted to Mr. Robert A. Pelham of the Census Bureau at Washington for a specially bound and embossed copy of the Bulletin, "Negroes in the United States." The general opinion is that statistics make very dry reading, but it is certain that a perusal of Bulletin 129 will prove not only interesting but inspiring to all intelligent colored Americans.
We are indebted to Mr. Robie at Washington for a specially booklet, "Negroes in the United States make very dry reading Bulletin 129 will prove not only a vigent colored Americans. The book is a matter of advice assigned to the work of comics is to be commended for this act throughout, whenever we a Negro is printed with a large "deserves credit for setting such a But in reading a notice about mercie Reports we find the word we are included to think that the itself was due mainly to efforts in compiling the work.

The book ought to be genera mere information. It gathers and forms the kind of historic backness. We venture to say that ever read this volume will be able to ashamed that I am a Negro."
Another book which is not so the opportunity to read is the life Curney by his daughter, Mrs. Mau ten in a clear and pleasing style desire to know something about the Negro history in this country and the political history of the Negro in to read this book.
The book is a matter of additional pride because colored men were assigned to the work of compiling the data. Secretary Redfield is to be commended for this action. It is also gratifying to note that throughout, whenever we are referred to as a race, the word Negro is printed with a large "N." The Department of Commerce deserves credit for setting such a precedent.
But in reading a notice about the Bulletin in one of the Commerce Reports we find the word Negro spelled with a small "n"; so we are inclined to think that the use of the large "N" in the Bulletin itself was due mainly to efforts made by the colored men engaged in compiling the work.
We thank Secretary Redfield for authorizing "N" in the Bulletin, and request that he have the order cover.his entire Department.
We recommend a perusal of "Negroes in the United States" to all our readers, and reassure them that they will not find it dry. From the figures on "Mortality" and "Home Ownership" they will gain more solid encouragement than from the majority of books written in behalf of the race during the past ten years.
We congratulate Mr. Pelham and his colored associates on the work they have done and the service they have rendered.
"The Negro" is a new book by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois. It is one of a series of nearly 100 volumes which constitute the "Home University Library." The "Home University Library" is published under the direction of Prof. Gilbert Murray, of Oxford, Mr. H. A. L. Fisher, of Sheffield University, Prof. J. Arthur Thompson, of Aberdeen, and Prof. W. T. Brewster, of Columbia University. Its purpose is to place into the hands of general readers a uniform set of books at a very moderate price and written by acknowledged authorities upon subjects of science, history, literature and art. In other words, to place the fundamentals of a university education within the reach of everybody. In consequence, these books have a wide sale and reach a large public; so we, as a race, are extremely fortunate in that a colored man, and one so ably fitted to do it, was chosen to write the volume on the Negro.
It is needless so say that the whole book is well written, but the first half is of surpassing interest and value. It is the first half which contains facts and information which will be found, perhaps, in no other one volume; at least, in no other one volume of this size. It would require months of weary reading and research for the individual seeker after information to dig out what is packed into these few pages.
The book ought to be generally read, for it contains more than mere information. It gathers and sets forth authentic data which forms the kind of historic background essential to race consciousness. We venture to say that every colored man or woman who will read this volume will be able to close the book and say, "I am not ashamed that I am a Negro."
Another book which is not so recent, but which we have just had the opportunity to read is the life of the late Hon. Norris Wright Cuney by his daughter, Mrs. Maud Cuney Hare. The book is written in a clear and pleasing style and without heroics. Those who desire to know something about the life of a man who helped to make Negro history in this country and who wish to learn something about the political history of the Negro in Texas and the South will do well to read this book.

‘We hear much these days about

The truth of the matter is that many Colored business men
have neither kept pace with the broadening and discriminat-
ing tastes of the Colored customer nor with the specialized
efforts of their white competitors. .
"It’s a far cry” from sentiment to business.
This is the age of speciaized selling methods and the Col.

NEWS OF THE CHURCHES
First Emmanuel Church
First Emmanuel The Rev Richard Manuel Bolden pastor of First Emmanuel Church, West 19th street, in this sermon Sunday morning, said that the good soldier attitude, as well as the true studious attitude of mind, is necessary for the highest development of an operating emmanuel. We have been called to the highest service, and given the largest, most comprehensive and enduring commission that can be committed to
We are soldiers and we should be good ones. To be a good soldier means that we should yield our minds to the immuinei. He then will see to our training in his school. The Head Master in this school, the Holy Spirit, will earnestly and cheerfully give the desired and needed instruction to the soldiers of the Holy Land. Not only have we out of them; but are we out of history. We are not trained in antiquated rules, and enmasee death regulation. Our Tutor does not waste our energy by teaching us the useless human conception of values in warfare. Prodigal and insane men schooled in fault and bloody conquests, dash themselves in madness against one another—for what? Is the outcome of their struggle or death? Land for traches, tunnels, swift moving maidens of destruction, annihilating humans, death dealing gases, floating forces and violent aerial disturbances are not in the course of instruction we receive. The immuinei wills that we strive for mastery, but we must strive hard and movements in the law be pristine Love. As good soldier we endeavor to fathish things, and allow the Holy Spirit to purge us as human beings from vessels of dishonor to vessels of honor sanctified and meet for the Masters use, prepared unto every good work. We are studious in the word of the Lord with a view of having the true understanding of the thing that should be taught to the people. The Holy Spirit makes us teach patient, good kind to all people, and service is in meekness, instructing the people; even the individuals who oppose the best things for themselves.
If God's peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth so that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil who are taken captive by him at his will" I have immanueles at the studios to show them how to profess the devil, approved to that hence we are not ashamed of anything that we do. We endeavor to shun profane sayings and display of words for our object is to increase unto more Godliness. We have departed from inquity, and we are building upon and acting from the foundation of God that standeth sure. Lord the Immanuel, and we know that He regards us as His. Therefore we endure hardness as good soldiers of His. We know that if our natural life be dead with Him that our external life shall also live with Him. We know that if upon this plane and in this life we suffer with Him, we shall also reel in those thoughts that his spirit actuating us, these thoughts that his spirit actuating us, the Holy Spirit, equipping us for the combat at hand in the work with God victory is ours.
