SCHOOL TIME! ANNOUNCEMENTS OF THE BEST SCHOOLS ON PAGE SIX DR. MORRIS ANSWERS CRITICS DECLARES THAT HE HAS BEEN MISQUOTED AND MISREPRESENTED AS TO HIS ATTITUDE ON SANCTIFICATION—CHURCH ISSUES STATEMENT. For the first time since he tendered his resignation as pastor of Bank Street Baptist Church and announced his intention of devoting his whole time to preaching "a full gospel of both justification and sanctification," Dr. Chase S. Morrison on last Monday gave a statement for publication, answering some of the statements that have been made in. criticism of his course. When asked by a Journal and Guide informer if it was true, as reported, that he intended to organize a new church and build a Holiness Tabernacle here Dr. Morris said that his plans were indefinite. Asked if he had stated in one of his recent sermons that he had just been converted, he replied in the negative. Some one, he said, had purported misconstruction of the object of Sanctification. Dr. Morris said that he was converted when he was a boy and had never had any reason since to doubt it. When asked if it was true that he had renounced the Baptist Church, Dr. Morris replied emphatically that it was not, and added: "Baptist preachers claim that the church founded on the day of pentecost was a Baptist Church. It was a church filled with the Holy Ghost. They claim that Peter, James, John and Paul were Baptist preachers. They were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and Baptist preachers should be filled with the Holy Ghost now. The Baptists claim that the first seven deacons set apart were Baptists. Two of the main qualifications of these deacons are laid down in the Acts were that they should be blameless and full of the Holy Ghost. I claim that the deacons of today should be blameless and filled with the Holy Ghost. The Baptists claim that they do not creed but the New Testament their sole rule of faith and practice. The New Testament everywhere calls for Christians to live a holy life. It says "be ye holy for I God, even your sanitation", and to those who say that a man don't get sanctified until he gets on his dying bed, Christ's great high priestly prayer (John 17 ch.) shows that he did not intend for man to get sanctified to die with but to live with, for He prayed "Father sanctify them by thy truth, thy word is truth. I pray not that thou should take them out of the world but that thou should keep them from evil." That is the faith that was once for all delivered unto the saints. That is Baptist faith and for that faith the bible bids us earnestly contend. And so what we may think, we need us with the solemn declaration, without holiness no man can be the Lord. Any man who knows that that is the plain teaching of the New Testament, or even page, in every epistle, either does not know the scriptures or will fully wrests. I hope he will not wrest it to his own destruction, as the bible solemn warms be may done." Asked if he accepted the view held by many that a sanctified person could not sin, Dr. Morris said that he did not. "I believe that a man may become so full of the grace of God that he will not sin," he said, "but that does not mean that he cannot sin." During this week Dr. Morris has been preaching at the Holiness Church on Grant street. Last Sunday morning and night he preached at the Palace Theatre on Church street. At both services the theatre was filled, and at night all standing room was taken. A fair estimate of his Sunday night audience would be eighteen hundred people. He will hold services again at the Palace Theatre this Sunday morning and night. His Resignation. Following Dr. Morris' letter tendering his resignation as pastor of Bank Street Baptist Church, which was accepted: "Zerepath, N. J., Sept. 4, 1916. No. The Bank Street Baptist Church. Mr. Dear Sisters and Brethren: I herewith tender to you my resignation as pastor to take effect immediately. In taking this step, I am activated by no unkind feeling toward any of you, but on the contrary by gratitude, appreciation and love. You have been more than kind to me, better to me I am bound to confess that I have been to you. There are many faults in my ministry among you to which I look back with keen regret. I thank God He has enabled me to live a clean, life among you, so far as mortality is concerned, but I regret I have not been more faithful in the preparation of my sermons, in visiting people and especially in keeping of Real Estate dealings of am heartily ashamed, and I to forgive me in so far as I remember upon the cause of the same. FOR help I mean to get out and to give myself, whol- ly teaching of the Word of sleep on my part does not wholly unexpected, as I would be free to leave he church was completed. Of other Corprew in July and to resign. God has queued on my backsliding and The Journal and Guide shown me the necessity of fearlessly preaching a full gospel of both justification and sanctification, to both of which, I fear the overwhelming majority are backslidden from the first and strangers to the second, and it would only cause strife and division for me to attempt without doing the good I would like to do, hence the best thing for me to do is to resign. I desire to state in conclusion, I have only the warmest feeling of gratitude and love for you all—deacons, trustees, Sunday-school workers, you have been more than the best teacher, you have been more faithful to you. I shall always take the deepest interest in your welfare. Always pray for you; always be willing to visit any when sick or in need of spiritual guidance, and I earnestly hope that you will secure for your pastor not some merely educated, eloquent preacher, but some Godly spirit filled man of God, who will take need to the flock over which the Holy Ghost shall make him pastor. Any advice or assistance I can give you at any time in any way I shall always cheerfully give it. With reference to my own plans, I have none, except to go up and do in the Lord rebuking sin, especially high places in need of people's absolute necessity of a clem, pure ministry, warning backsliders and sinners to flee from the wrath to come, and telling all, both saint and sinner, to watch, for we know not the day nor the hour when the son of man cometh. "With love to all and the desires of the prayers of all, I am most-sincerely your loving pastor, "CHARLES SATCHELL MORRIS." A Statement From The Deacon Board. The Bank Street Church board of deacons gave out the following statement with reference to Dr. Morris' resignation: "The deacon board of Bank Street Baptist Church wishes to make the following statement to the public in order that they may get a clear conception of their position relative to resignation of our former pastor, Dr. Charles S. Morris. "On Sunday morning, Sept. 10, Dr. Morris' resignation was read in an after meeting held after the adjournment of the service. He being away from the city at the time, the matter was put under advisement until his resignation. "Sunday, Sept. 17th, Dr. Morris preached at both morning and evening services. Both sermons bore most emphatically on the subject of Holiness and Sanctification, which he said was the only doctrine from now on that he could preach, and gave that as his only reason for resigning. He stated that he felt Bank Street Baptist church would not stand for his doctrine which he must now advocate, and because of his love for the loyal membership, he did not want to split the church, hence his resignation. He made a public announcement on Sunday night that he would preach on Wednesday, and later before the close of the service by the advice of some one else in the pulpit he announced again that he would preach Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights which did not meet the approval of the official board whom he did not consult regarding the matter at all. "Even though Dr. Morris had been in the habit of calling meetings held in the church while he was pastor, the board felt that since he was changed his faith and no longer wanted to be a pastor, he should have been consulted about these anticipated meetings before they were announced. "There has been no trouble of any kind between Dr. Morris and the board and for these and no other reasons was the church closed on the above mentioned nights, and Dr. Morris was notified of the same, for the deacon who was the priest Church holds him in the highest esteem as a minister of the gospel.

C. A. DEVELOPING STRONG TEAM — WEST HIGH SCHOOL ELEVEN WILL HAVE FIRST GAME WITH MONARCHS, OCTOBER 10TH. The outlook is bright for a strong football team at the Y. M. C. A. this fall. A goodly number of the Monarchs, the former champions of Norfolk have cast their lot with the Y. M. C. A., and the same is true of the Y. M. A's. The merging of these two teams under the Y. M. C. A. banner to give Norfolk the finest football team is her history. Ex-Captain Wallace Bynum of the old Y. M. A. a team is coming out for the Y. M. C. A. a team with Albert Glosson, Willie Bowden, and Johnson. Of the old Monarchs there are Raymond Roberts, Eugene Morgan, Hilton Faulks, Willie Brown, James Robinson and possibly James Jones. Of the new men who will be out, the most likely ones are "Red" Gill, Thompson formerly of Georgia State College, Boone from West Virginia Collegiate Institute, and "Hickey" Scott of Hampton. A schedule is being made up which will give Norfolk people an opportunity to see some of the best football teams in this state. The first game will be played here on the sixteenth of October with the Roanoke Young Men's Club. Doctor Wm. Bailey, who was once a star end at Howard University, will be line coach for the team. We feel certain that no better qualified coach could have been secured. All men who intend trying for the Y. M. C. A. team will meet in the Y. M. C. A. this Monday, the second, at 8:30 in the evening. The Y. M. C. A. Tennis Team goes to Cape Charles to play the team there on the seventh of October.

On Wednesday the 20th the Supreme Serie left over the C. & O. for Lee Hall, Va., where he was met at the station by Sir Luke Washington with his conveyance, and conducted to his home where we were refreshed, then on to the Odd Fellows Hall where a new lodge of the order was set apart. There was much enthusiasm among the newly made members and we are expecting a great success. This lodge is the work of Sir Luke Washington. We stopped at the home of Mrs. Delilah Riddick who is a great society worker, and we expect soon to have a Juvenile Class at this point. Sir T. C. Williams, D. C., and several of the members of Lodge No. 94 assisted us in the work of initiation for which we extend thanks. On the 20th the S. C. Rev, J. J. Mainor arrived in Danville, Va., where he was met by Deputy Frank Price and taken to his home. On Thursday night the members and friends met at the Odd Fellows Hall, where after the usual preliminaries, Sir Price very interestingly introduced the S. C., who was to deliver a lecture. The S. C. said in part, that was always glad to come to Danville because of the host of friends he had there. His subject was "Grasp the Opportunity," said he: "We are a peculiar people, trained in a peculiar way. The Knights of Gideon has grasped this opportunity and are now on the main line as a secret order. When we are bound and tied together we are compelled to visit the sick and distressed. The Gideons are comforters in time of death." Throughout the entire lecture he was listened to with rapt attention, the listeners hearts were lifted up, and the members were encouraged to go on more persistently and grasp the opportunity. He reviewed the good the organization had done not only in this city but throughout the jurisdiction, and the work it still is accomplishing. Many of the friends voiced their intention of joining with us at an early date. JOHN GARRELL, W. R. S. VIOLIN LESSONS.

Mr. Editor Journal and Guide: I crave another space in your indispensable journal to tell the world about the brave sons and daughters of the old historic Roanoke District Conference. On Wednesday morning, August the 9th, could be seen men, women and children crowding the street and filling Bethel A. M. E. Church, at Wytheville, Va., to see Dr. George R. Jones open his conference. Promptly at 9:30 a. m. Dr. George R. Jones, the conservative Presiding Elder of Roanoke District, A. M. E. Church, was found upon the rostrum, and with the assistance of Rev. I. Ewer, D. D., of Danville, Va., Rev. P. W. Lee, D. D., of South Boston, Va., and Rev. J. J. Jones, D. D., of Salem, Va., proceeded to open the above named Conference. Dr. G. C. Taylor of Roanoke, Va. conducted the music, and the Tolkien Ghost came upon us while it tarried at Jerusalem, and fitted us to render valuable services. "Organization seeing in order Dr. Isaac Ewer, moved that Rev. W. J. Miller, B. D., be the secretary, which was seconded by Rev. P. W. Lee, D. D., and accordingly stood approved. Bros. C. H. Howard and F. M. Sheffey were elected Marshals, while Rev. J. A. Valentine was elected Reporter to the Christian Recorder, and the writer Reporter to the Journal and Guide. Miss Hallie B. Traynham was elected District Organist and Dr. Taylor, Musical Director. After an intermission of fifteen minutes, the Conference reassembled to hear the opening sermon. Dr. E. H. Hunter, of Portsmouth, Va., announced Hymn No. 217, "Just as I am without one plea, O lamb of God I come," which was sung by the conference choir, and at the conclusion of which Rev. W. H. Steptoe offered prayer. Music by the choir and the Scripture lesson was read by Dr. Hunter. At this juncture Rev. J. C. Muckey, the man of God, from Ivanhoe, Va., "Old Pap," was introduced to preach the opening sermon. He chose his text from the 19th chapter of the gospel according to St. John, and 30th verse, using as a theme: "The last words of Jesus on the Cross," from which he preached an able sermon. He portrayed the life of Jesus, told of His love, encouraged his hearers to love Christ, be like Him in making the world better and closed amidst shouts and falling tears. In a word, he put the force up. Rev. J. M. Dent offered prayer, and we had music by the choir. Dr. E. H. Hunter, who contributed largely to the success of our Conference, sang "That doulful night before His death" after which proceeded to consecrate the elements for the Holy Eucharist and administered the same, showing signs of deep emotion and earnestness, being assisted by Drs. George R. Jones, P. E., J. L. Jones, J. C. Mackey, I. Ewgr and A. J. Nixon. The spiritual server ran high and we closed amidst showers of blessings. We must not forget to tell how well Rev. W. H. Thomas, the pastor, had the situation in hand and what a splendid welcome address he delivered, nor must we forget to let you know that the Rev. J. L. Jones, D. D. of Salem, Va., responded in a timely and scholarly manner. We must also tell you that Rev. J. L. Jones, D. D., preached the Annual Sermon, Rev. P. W. Goodman preached the Missionary sermon, while Rev. D. V. Young preached the Educational sermon, and that Rev. J. A. Valentine preached a special sermon to the S. S. Institute. From these we learned that the sermon is the most effectual which most pointedly puts forth Christ as the pardon of all sin and the correction of all evil—individual, social, political and national. We were also told that heaven is an old story. That Isaiah told it, John told it, Paul told it, Ezekiel told it, and that we should not cease to tell it from the pulpits, in the homes, upon the streets and everywhere; then when the final end comes be like Paul, who said, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course." Many valuable papers were read. The subjects of which were: "The Financial Ability of the People," "The Moral Condition," "What are the People Doing for Missions?" "The Spiritual Condition of the Churches," "The Condition of the Public Schools," "The Means Necessary to Make the Churches Financially More Prosperous," "Temperance," "The Minister in the Community, His Life and Influence," "How to Organize the Church for Effective Work," "Sunday, and Why we Observe It," "Sanctification," by the following ministers: Revs. A. L. Seruggs, D. V. Young, A. J. Nixon, J. E. Harris, W. J. Miller, J. A. Valentine, J. H. Hawkins, G. B. Shaw, I. Ewer, P. W. Goodman, and G. C. Taylor. To examine candidates for traveling work: Revs. G. C. Taylor, J. L. Jones, J. E. Harris, W. J. Robinson, and W. J. Miller. Every charge reported its full assessment and the collections were good. The people were hospitable in their entertainment, and every session of the Conference was helpful. Dr. N. W Brown of Bluofield, W. Va., was present and delivered one of his captivating addresses. ```markdown ``` VIRGINIA: In, the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Norfolk County, on the 11th day of September, 1916, in vacation.

There has just come fromi*the press a pamphlet entitled “Sunctification,” a sermon by Rev. Richard H. ‘Bowling, pastor of the First Baplist|Church of Norfolk. In view of the upheaval in local religious circles over/the action of a very prominent Buptist minister in resigning his pastorate Wy evete his whole time to preaching the doctrine of Sanctification, Rev., Bowling’s pamphlet will in all probability have a wide circulation, j Taking as his text the third verse of the fourth chapter of I Thessalon- ians:—“For this is the will of God, even your sanctification,”—the preach- er begins by pointing out that the doc- trine of sanctification, “like’that of justification, regeneration, adoption, ete., is but one of the many doctrines taught by all churches in common,” that all of these doctrines are in the Bible and that the Scriptures throw ample light upon them all. He then defines sanctification, points out the grounds upon which people differ in their interpretations of the Scriptural references to sanctification, gives the view of the Holiness Church, and fol- lows it with the orthodox view, which he defends, and ends by reaching the following conclusions: (1) Sanctifica- tion is a possibility and is strictly en- joined; (2) Sanctification as a state of personal holiness und tnability to sin 1 +++ is unseriptural and unreason- able and therefore untenable; (3) Sanctification as a process, or the gradual movement of the soul toward the Holy Goi and things heavenly, + +++. i the correct view and should be accepted and taught by all believers in Christ regardless of denomination or creed, Copies of the pamphlet may be ob- tained from the author, A SERMON ON RACE PREJUDICE. The Rev. Mr. Stratton, pastog of ore of the fushionable white “Baptist churches of Norfolk preabis sor- mon last Sunday night ‘gnipaée preju- dice. This writer didipoé hear the ser- mon of course,'butAfoniay morning's paper reporteil that the object of Mr. Stratton’s aoligitude ivas the Jew. __It may. de'on ‘account of our own problemig. and environment, but we are notyambng those who can sce much race prejudice whore the Jew is con- cerned, especially in this country, It is true that in some parts of Europe, Poland for example, the Jews are greatiy oppréssed, but in this country —in Mr. Stratton’s country—the Jew scems to have nothing to fear except petty racial and réligious prejudices peculiar: togAmerigins. He has no Sonar preside ws aRbaT NET admit ted to the best schools, he is not ham- pered in the marts of trade, he is not rejected in polities, he is in congress, in the supreme eourt and everywhere else that he desires to be. The Jews are victims of petty preju- dices in thix country, and on that ac- count deserve sympathy, and they have ours, They certainly deserve more tolerant treatment at the hands of Christian Americans. But the roa! sufferers from race prejudice in Amer- fea are the ten millions of black and colored men and women who call this their country. Mr. Stratton knows that the Negro problem is the great American problem, that it is the basis of the basest form of race prejudice ir the world. And it is probably fo1 that’ very reason that the Jew instea of the Negro was the subject of Mr Stratton’s sermon on race prejudice, We are getting nearer and nearer to a permanent solution of the scgre- gation question. Judge Waddcll of the United States Court ror this district has granted an injunction against the enforcement of the Newport News ordinance pending the settlement of the question by the United States Su- preme Court, which now has it under advisement on an appeal case from Kentucky. RALLY IN BEHALF OF DAY NURSERY AND CHILDREN’S HOME A city-wide campaign is to_be held to raise funds for the Day Nursery and Children’s Home, which has re- cently undergone extensive improye- ments. ‘The “rally” will begin on Oc- tober Sth and close on the 13th. There will be two hundred canvassers and each one will be asked to raise $5.00. The amount needed is $2,000.00. A_ splendid brick addition has re- cently been made to the building, which now eontains twenty-six rooms, two baths and other moderh improve- ments.

You are safe in assuming that the time, ability and merchandise thes offered is worth the “bargain” price asked— and no more! This is particularly true of eye-glasses, in tne securing of which a “bargain” price should be the least consideration. What an eye-suf- ferer wants, or should want, above all else, is confidence in the man who ex- amines the eye—is he competent to correctly diagnose the case and fit the sufferer with glasses best suited to correct the ailment? That is the vital question, the answer to which means either lasting comfort, joy and satis- faction, or continual discomfort, re- gret and dissatisfaction! Dr. J. E. Masrow, the well-known, highly en- dorsed, skillful eyesight specialist, with offices in suite 405-105% Dickson building, corner of Granby and Taze- well street, hns successfully fitted ‘glasses to more than fifty thousand men, women and children, and has re- ee hundreds of letters attesting his remarkable ability. He makes no charge for consultation and his prices for glasses, considering the high qual- ity of his work, are moderate. Phone Norfolk 219.—Adv. Sunday on his way to attend the S. N.

Both members and friends seemed to enjoy each service. At 11:30 a. m. the pastor presented the P. E. Rev. Geo. R. Jones, who preached a soul-stirring sermon to the great delight of all who heard him. At 2:30 p. m. the pastor presented the local preacher of the church in the person of Bro. T. J. Burwell, and for a local and young preacher, he did credit both to himself, church and occasion. The Financial Committee was very active and did all in their power to bring about success. At the close of the afternoon service they LODGING FOR MEN—Rooms for rent furnished or unfurnished.

They wish to thank their many friends for the kindness in helping them to make this occasion a success both spiritually and financially. The two sudden deaths last week in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Butcher, 613 6th Ave. N. W., has been deeply felt by the family and friends, each being a member of the family. Rev. Richard Butcher who had been living in the home for the past two years, age 77, died September 20th, and was buried September 21st at New River. Rev. Butcher leaves neither wife nor children and lived with his sister. On the morning of his funeral, September 21st, Mr. Ross, Mrs. Butcher's youngest brother died suddenly. He also had lived in the home of his sister for the past five years. Funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. Butcher at 11 a.m., Rev. E. E. Ricks, officiating. He was buried in the Old Lick Cemetery. Mr. Ross was 31 years of age and was injured some time ago and remained home suffering from heart trouble until his death. At the Fairgrounds September 22nd, the Ex-All Stars and the doctors met in the second game of baseball for the benefit of the Burrell Memorial Hospital. As in the first game of those two rival teams, much enthusiasm was aroused each team anxious to win. The doctors won the first game and felt confident of the second, the All Stars lost the first game and were the anxious to win the last one and make matters even. The game was called at 3:30 p. m. and only five innings were played, as the sudden but much needed rain which came in the fifth ended the game with a score of 2 to 3 in favor of the Ex-All Stars. It must be admitted and to the credit of those who played that seldom has Roanoke seen better ball played than that furnished by the doctors and the Ex-All Stars. The well known Elite Cafe has changed hands being now owned by the well known Billy Crowell. The Elite is the most popular and up-to-date cafe in the city and with the remarkable improvements already made under its new management, we just know we are going to have a first-class restaurant that will not only be a credit to its well known manager, but to the city of Roanoke as well. We wish to congratulate Mr. Crowell for his splendid beginning. Misses Lucy B. Robinson, Mattie L. Hackley and Rebecca Newlin left Monday night accompanied by Mrs. Geo. H.

Last Sunday at the 11:30 service every seat was taken to hear the sermon on "Holiness" as the pastor had previously announced that he would preach on it. 1 Peter, 1:16, was used as a text: "Be ye holy; for I am holy." He began by saying that the word Holy means, whole, entire, complete, sound and unimpaired. The word Holy as applied to God means perfectly pure and complete, and in its absolute sense, reminds us that only God can be holy. We his offsprings can not be equalled to, but like him in a large measure. God did not make man his equal, but in his image made he man. Holiness is one of the attributes of God who is holy. And each of us, when we accepted the plan of salvation, accepted holiness, along with sanctification, faith, hope, love, etc. What The Text Means To Man In His Present State. The revise version reads this text thus: "Ye shall be holy; for I am holy." The very language of the text tells us that we will be like God some day. We can possess the thing that leads to perfection, holiness. Holiness in man is freedom from sin, or the conformity of the heart to God. It does not consist in knowledge, talents, nor outward ceremonies of re- Buy Your Fall and Winter Clothes Here OUR STOCK IS READY For INSPECTION IT'S the BEST line---Splendid display and most complete stock we've ever had---A visit to our store will convince you of this.

Eph. 2:S-10, John. 3:S, and Rom. 6:22. How Holiness Comes To Man And Its Operation. It is instantaneous in its reception, and progressive in its operation. In short, it means living a good and godly life, in the fear of God, relying upon God for strength to indure. Nothing will give us a right to heaven, but a every-day devotion to His service. Prov. 4:18. How You Must Look At The Text. You must see it as meaning to you. With that thought in view, we must get each day closer and closer to God. For as long as we feel that we cannot be good and live a godly life, we will fight holiness, and continue to live in adultery, that is men living with women, and are not married to them, women keeping lodgers in their home, and acting as man and wife, the lodger bringing all he makes during the week, and giving it to the lady with whom he says he is simply boarding, and she spending it to suit herself. Yes as long as people are living like that, they will always say that one cannot possess the attribute of holiness, etc. Six applications for membership. The pastor will preach next Sunday at the 11:30 service from the subject: "Holiness is one of the principles of the Baptist Church." If you want a seat come early. VIRGINIA EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS A. M. E. CHURCH. The fifth Educational Congress of the Virginia Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Church will convene at Roxon Mo. Va., October 5 to 5, 1916, in Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church, of which Rev. Geo. C. Taylor, D. D., is pastor. This annual meeting of g. M. E. people continues to grow in interest and effectiveness. It furnishes greater opportunity than the regular annual conferences could afford for large, full and free discussion of questions affecting the educational development of the constituency represented by that church and of the people generally. It is also made the occasion for reporting special educational funds collected by the local churches of the conference. It is expected that $1,000.00 at least will be raised at this Congress. A splendid program has been arranged for the occasion, showing that able papers will be read, addresses delivered and discussions led, by leading men of the church both in and outside the State of Virginia. Among the distinguished visitors who will be heard are Prof. A. S. Jackson of Waco, Texas, Secretary of Education of the A. M. E. Church and Rev. C. G. O'Kelly, D. D., president of Kittrell College. Prof. Harris Hart, A. M., Supt. Public Instructions, a prominent white citizen of Roanoke is also to speak. The chief interest of the occasion will doubtless center around the fact that the new Bishop of the district, Rt. Rev. J. Albert Johnson, D. D., will be in attendance and officially direct the destinies of the Congress as well as speak from time to time on various topics of importance. It is expected that most, if not all, of the ministers of the conference will make this the occasion of their first official meeting with the Bishop. The ministers from the east are expected to leave via. N. & W. R. R. Tuesday morning, October 3rd, reaching Roanoke late that afternoon, but in time for the opening meeting that evening, in charge of a local committee. The hospitable people of Roanoke are preparing to entertain on a liberal scale and hope for a large attendance. The Congress will adjourn Thursday evening, October 5. JAS. N.

CUMMINGS Norfolk Sanitarium Of The New Science of Healing all Diseases Without Drugs or Operation by The German Bath System. 719 Washington Avenue, Norfolk, Virginia A LETTER OF THANKS AND TESTIMONY Norfolk, Va., August 2, 1916. To who it may concern: This is to certify that I have been suffering with extreme pains from two abcesses in both e-ss, in so much I was compelled to quit work. The next question was to whom shall I go to? My wife and I decided for Dr. Cummings to treat me. I saw him and he said for me to come to his Sanitarium. In the third day every pain disappeared and after two weeks I was restored to my work. Now this I can say, that Dr. Cummings treatment consists of a scientific method of applying water, not as a way that the people believe that he applies water, but quite a different way altogether. He is the first man I saw to give a bath with your clothes on and do not wet your clothes. And not only are his baths scientific but also his method of dieting, for it is believed that Dr. Cummings is one of the most leading dieticians that we have in this country among the colored race. Now I recommend Dr. Cummings and his treatment to all suffering humanity. While my two weeks' stay at his sanitarium I saw some of the most remarkable work performed on suffering individuals. My observation was very keen while I was there, and there was nothing I saw that was reproachful, every thing was done decent and in order, and it is a place where any recent man or woman can venture to go without being molested by any one. He is kind, generous, hospitable and full of sympathy for his patients. I hope if there is any one suffering I kindly recommend this work to you. Go and prove it for yourself. The best way to give good advice is to set a good example. When others see how quickly you *t* over your cold by taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy they are likely to follow your example. This remedy has been in use for over 100 years and is widely loved reputation. Obtainable everywhere.
