VOLUME XVII. NO.9 UNION BAPTIST CONVENTION ANNUAL MEETING OF NORTH CAROLINA STATE BODY—EDUCATION AND MISSIONS AT HOME AND ABROAD SUBJECTS CONSIDERED. The annual session of the united Baptist of North Carolina, met in the First Baptist Church, Statesville, N. C., November 14. The talented young pastor, Rev. O. J. Allen, had worked out, in detail, every arrangement necessary to handle with ease the aggregation. Only compliments were on the tongues of all, for the convention's host, who was reckoned worthy of life membership of the convention. Ministers and representatives of the convention began to arrive in Statesville as early as Monday 13th. A most inspiring session of the State Ministers Conference was held on Tuesday, with Dr. R. Spiller presiding. Tuesday evening was given over to a splendid local program: when, in addition to well prepared and inspiring music, a number of thoughtful and cordial welcome addresses were delivered to the convention. Notably among which was that delivered by his excellency, Mayor L. C. Caldwell. This very cordial address at once, made every representative feel that he was not only welcome to the public utilities and functions of the city, but he was made to feel that he had a right to be there. Prof. H. H. Faulkner will be appropriate to respond to the mayor's address. Wednesday's accessions added urgently to Monday's and Tuesday's aggregation of the united Baptist forces of North Carolina. After appointing the usual committees, the convention began, at once, to address itself to the consideration of and devising ways and means for the promotion and furtherance of the causes of Education and Missions, at home and abroad—in Haiti, in Africa as well as in the United States and its dependencies. On the foregoing subjects some carefully prepared addresses were delivered. The convention re-affirmed its allegiance to Shaw University, to Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention and to Secondary Baptist schools of the state. The great effort being made to better the condition of the Rural Free Public Schools, by the State Teachers' Association was most heartily endorsed and commended. Among the representative ministers, educators and leaders of Baptist forces, present at the convention were: Dr. G. D. Griffin, retiring president; Tampa, Fla.; Dr. G. O. Bullock, president-elect, Winston Salem; Dr. J. Elmer Dellinger and Honorable H. P. Cheatham, vice presidents; Dr. W. H. Moore, recording secretary, Wilmington; Dr. G. W. Moore, transurer, Raleigh; Dr. C. S. Brown, corresponding secretary, Winton; Prof. G. M. James, assistant corresponding secretary, Dr. P. F. Moore, assistant secretary, Dr. S. N. Wass, statistician; Dr. S. N. Vass, field secretary of the American Baptist Publication Society; Drs. E. M. Brawley, R. Spiller and Dr. A. M. Moore, Durham; Drs. N. F. Roberts, A. B. Vincent, W. T. Coeman, C. E. Askew, A. W. Pogues, Revs. L. T. Christmas, H. Pair, Raleigh; Dr. P. S. Lewis and S. T. Eldridge, Charlotte; Revs. O. S. Bullock, D. S.萨特, High Point; Dr. P. F. Malle, Rutherford; Revs. J. J. Scarlette, E. E. Smith, Fayetteville; Dr. W. H. Stokes, Ph. D., editor, Lott Carey Herald, Richmond, Va. In referring to the routine work of the convention it is needless to say that the address of President Griffin was able, not contained much thought, that without saying. The report of the corresponding secretary; too, was comprehensive, grasping the work accomplished, and suggesting much that awaits to be done. Speeches by the dean of the Theological Department of Shaw University; by the representative of the A. B. P. Society; by the editor of the Lott Carey Herald; by the representative of the prospective reformatory for erring Negro youth and by others were all timely, and evidenced progressive thought along advanced lines. Next annual session goes to Mount Vernon Church, Durham—Dr. R. Spiller, pastor. A. M. E. CONFERENCE FAVORS UNION OF METHODIST BODIES Edenton, N. C., Nov. 20.—The Albearle conference of the A. M. E.

The gross collections of the conference for benevolences and otherwise aggregated more than $35,000 for the year. The membership has been increased surprisingly. More than 600 conversions have been reported. The committee on state of the church reported. The recent recommendation of the Federated Churches of Methodism in America was approved, that the Methodists unite in two, quadrennial bodies, white and colored Methodists, and the conference heartily approved of the separation of races as in concerned the church.

EUROPE SEEKS AFRICAN LABOR A CONTINGENT 10,000 STRONG TO BE SENT TO FRANCE FOR DOCK LABOR AT FRENCH PORTS. Pretoria, South Africa—General Botha recently issued an appeal for native labor in Europe in the following terms: I desire to express my appreciation of the good work which the natives throughout South Africa have performed by furnishing labor for the forces in Southwestern Africa in East Africa. The services which the rendered have erally assisted the execution of hostilities. You have often expressed your great desire to be allowed to assist overseas, and at the request of His Majesty the King's Government, it has been arranged that a contingent of 10,000 laborers should proceed to Europe for labor service. This contingent will consist of five battalions, each of 2000 strong, and will be under the direct control of my most trusted officers from the Union, whose charge it will be to see to their welfare and comfort, and avoid any possible ill effect from employment under strange conditions. This contingent for which General Botha has appealed, is a military unit, under military discipline. It is intended that the unit shall be employed in dock labor at French ports and not in the fighting NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, NOVEMBER 25, 1916 MRS. WASHINGTON ON LABOR QUESTION Widow of Great Educator Says South Is Best Place For Colored Race. (Special to Journal and Guide.) Sedalia, N. C.-Mrs. Booker T. Washington was one of the speakers at the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the establishment of Palmer Memorial Institute, held here last week. She emphasized the need of a clean, practical and more intelligent pulpit for the country pulpit and advised members of the race to remain in the South. "A clean, practical and more intelligent ministry for the country pulpit is needed. The minister should encourage the boys and girls in industrial work and cleanliness as well as ever picturing to them the golden street of heaven. Not least the social life of people in the rural districts be lightly considered. The teacher and preacher should take greater interest in this phase of the colored man's life in the country. "What is said of the colored people and their homes in the country may well be said of them in their homes in the larger cities and towns of the South. Those owning well furnished and large comfortable homes are the select few. If the authorities of the southern cities would take underconsideration the fact that we are really a part of the body politic and although we are a distinct race with perhaps some distinct traits and characteristics, we have many things in common with all other citizens of the community and one of these is a love for family life, a desire and a yearning to bring our children up in a wholesome and clean atmosphere, a growing desire to create for ourselves an ideal which impresses itself more and more in decent living and so encourage such, we would have better homes in the cities. Colored people should not only be encouraged to build homes but build them beautiful. Let the authorities of the southern cities build the sidewalks and soverage in front of the colored man's home as well as the white if they would encourage beauty and cleanliness in colored homes. "Another side of the question of decent homes for colored people is that 225,000 colored people die in the South every year. One hundred thousand of these deaths could be prevented." ELIZABETH CITY (By F. W. M. Butler.) Elizabeth City, N. C.—Rev. A. L. Wood of Norfolk spent sometime in the city last week. Mr. J. F. Whitehurst left last week for Jackson, N. C., to open school there. Mr. Matthew Jordan is home visiting wife and friends. Mrs. Mary E.

A large delegation from here attended the Albagarle Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church, which convened at Edenton last week. Dr. G. L. White was returned to Mt. Lebanon Church to the delight of the membership and the friends generally. Presiding Elder A. J. Gorham was also returned to this district. While returning home fro... the city Monday to his home abo... fifteen miles in the country, reaching So. Rond street and Body Road, Rev. S. S. Johnson, wife and two friends riding with him, came near losing their life by being run into by another automobile driven by a white man. The car in which Rev.

HOW PROHIBITION WORKS IN VIRGINIA If any one doubts that prohibition prohibits they have only to study the present conditions existing in Virginia in order to be convinced that it does prohibit. Total arrests reported for drunkenness during the first two weeks of prohibition are little more than was shown in a single day before the Mapp law became effective. Chief of Police Kizer has sent a report to Prohibition Commissioner Peters showing the comparative arrests for drunkenness in the first fifteen days of November of each year since 1910. For 1916 the total for the first half or the month was 9 arrests against 255 in 1910, 213 in 1911, 227 in 1912, 211 in 1913, 205 in 1914, and 183 in 1915. Richmond, Lynchburg and other cities in the State show a similar decrease in records of arrests for intoxication since prohibition became effective. Attention is also called by Commissioner Peters to the fact that before the law became effective all those who were found drunk were not arrested, only those who were disorderly or unable to take care of themselves being taken in charge by the police; at present, however, every drunken person is immediately arrested. The present figures therefore show a more radical change than appears on the surface. Norfolk Leads State In Enforcement. Norfolk police have captured more than twice as much liquor as any other city in the State, according to a statement made this morning by Guy T. Horner, special representative of Commissioner Peters in charge of the prosecution of liquor cases in Norfolk. Asked how Norfolk stood in regard to the enforcement of the law, Mr. Horner said: "All credit possible is due the police of Norfolk for their activity in the enforcement of the law. Norfolk has made out as many cases as any two other cities in the State. They have also confiscated more than twice as much liquor." Closes Half Of Richmond Jail. Richmond, Nov. 20.—City Sergeant Satterfield said today that on Saturday he closed one-half of the city jail and that there had been a net decrease in prisoners since November 1, of one hundred and twenty. He says that he is discharging three to four for each one now received; one month ago he had two hundred and ninety, today one hundred and seventy including all commitments so far this month. Dry Law Breaks Up Lynchburg Court Lynchburg, Nov. 20.—For two consecutive days the police court here has been dispensed with because of no cases, this having not occurred previously in the recollection of court attaches. But two drunks have been arrested here this month. HAMPTON DEFEATS LINCOLN 19 TO 7 HAMPTON DEFEATS LINCOLN 19 TO 7 (By Lawrence A. Lee.) Hampton, Vn.—The Hampton football squad added another victory to its credit on Friday, November 17, by defeating the Lincoln University squad of Lincoln, Pa. Lincoln took advantage of a fumble by Hampton in the first quarter and broke through the line for a touchdown. Goal was kicked. At the beginning of the second period, Hampton was over the ball on the 40-yard line. "Little" Harvey sent "Jelly" Mendows and "Abe" Mundy around the ends alternately. Both made good goals. Rigney ploughed through the line twice in succession bringing the "Great Machine" within 20 yards of the goal. Harvey then pulled off one of his famous forward passes to Dorsey, who carried the pigskin over the goal line. Harvey kicked goal. The score was tied, and both teams began a defensive style of play. The half ended with the score 7 to 7. The second half began by Hampton kicking off to Lincoln. Hampton again pulled off one of those forward passes. Dorsey made a sensational catch and raced for the goal, but he was tackled so hard that he fumbled. "Abe" Mundy came to his rescue and caught the ball, carrying it for 10 yards to the goal line for a second touchdown. Hampton failed to kick goal. After fighting for first down without success the ball was covered by Hampton. "Abe" and "Jelly" began to sweep through the line for 15 and 20 yards at will. Harvey swept around right end, placing the ball on the 5-yard line. Lincoln was weak, so Rigney had no trouble in making the 5 yards for the blue-and-white boys. Again Lincoln received the kick, after which a few plays were pulled off before the whistle blew for the end of the game. Hampton had won a victory over the 10 to 7. Capt. Burton, Douglas, and Ridgley played a commendable game for Lincoln, while Harvey, Meadows, Dorsely, Rigney, and Mundy did fine work for Hampton. "Big Red" Dabney kicked excellently. Score: Hampton 19; Lincoln 7. Touched downs: Rigney, Mundy, and Dorsley (for Hampton); Ridgley 50. Lincoln. Goals kicked; Hampton 1; Lincoln 1. Referee=Henderson; Umpire=Allen; Timekeeper=Scott. Time of periods, 15 minutes. Christiansburg Institute Defeats Bluefield Institute. (Special to Journal and Guide.) Christiansburg, Va.—The football eleven of Christiansburg Industrial Institute met and defeated on their home grounds, the team of the Bluefield (W. Va.) Colored Institute, 41 to 0. The first touchdown came after three minutes of play when Bailey took a forward pass and crossed the visitors goal. The line-up: C. Institute. B. Institute. E. A. Long, Jr. R. E. Trigg Johns R. T. Barrier Slaughter R. G. Coleman Brown C. Cobb Higginbotham L. G. Carter Crang L. T. Locket Craig L. E. Dalton Seldon Q. B. Wrigley (C.) Pack R. H. B. Wilson Morgan L. H. B. Howard Gee (C.) F. B.

Greensboro, N. C.—A. & T. defeated St. Augustine's School, Tuesday of last week on the A. & T. gridiron, 22 to 6. Tuesdays' game was one of the most interesting played this season and both teams showed evidence of thorough training. Forward passes predominated throughout the game. A 55-yard dash by Jackson to the goal in three minutes after the game had begun started the victory for A. & T. The line-up: A. & T. St. Augustine Morse R. E. Hoke Whiting R. T. McClure Gwaltney R. G. Lenore White C. Wright Rederick L. G. S. Clarke Brooks L. T. B. Harris Burgin L. E. W. Harris Leseur Q. B. Payne Jackson R. H. Chavis Greene T. B. Hall Armstrong L. B.

Gwaltney of Norfolk, who broke his leg in the game between St. Augustine and A. & T., is fastly improving. The Guilford County Negro Fair will begin Friday. Mr. Rome Harris, the expert wire walker, will give an exhibition each day. He will also make two ascensions in his balloon. Saturday's game with High Point Normal was the first game for A. & T's second team. Both teams played hard, but A. & T. was victorious. The score was 12 to 0. PIGSKIN THANKSGIVING DAY FEATURE Lincoln Looms Up Strong. Lincoln's recent upheaval involving the dismissal of her football coach as well as the pressing into service of practically an entirely new machine has completely put her opponents at sea in judging her present strength. Moreover, with this revolution in force only one week, she touchdown on Hampton's campus and held the champions to 19—7. This looks quite desperate for Union. The Red and Steel catapult was handled a defeat of 15—6 by the Hamptonians a few weeks ago. From a comparison of scores it seems evident that the Union-Lincoln battle here next Thursday will be a royal one. In the last contest with Lincoln, on Thanksgiving Day two years ago, the Pennsylvaniaians were victorious by a 13—7 count. All indications point to the fact that a tremendous holiday crowd, such as Richmond has never witnessed before, will be present when the fight begins at 2:30 p. m. next Thursday. Excursionists from Norfolk, Hampton, Petersburg and Roanoke are expected to see the fray. SEWANEE WILL PLAY Y. M. C. A. What is to be a contest for the football championship of the city will take place Tuesday, November 28, between the Swanee Athletic Club and the Y. M. C. A. eleven. Both teams are in tip-top shape, and a real championship football game may be expected. The game will take place at League Park, and will be called at 3 p. m. The Swanees have perfected the following yell, which they are going to use on that day: "One thing we know, and know it well, "One thing we know, and know it well. We don't have to speak, the game will tell; We'll show how passing gridiron pars Don't compare with oncoming football stars; For down on a Sewance gridiron, On a fair, cold football day, We'll extend hands to all gridiron fans For defeating the Y. M. C. A." READ THE SPECIAL YEAR BOOK OFFER ON PAGE TWO. PRICE FIVE CENTS N. C. FARMERS CONFERENCE IMPROVED METHODS AND HOUSEHOLD ECONOMICS CONSIDERED—RACE ADVISED TO REMAIN IN SOUTH. Bennettsville, S. C.—The Colored Farmers' Conference met November 17 at the Laurinburg (N. C.) Industrial Institute. More than 1,000 persons will be present during the day. The meeting from every viewpoint interesting, and the discussions were helpful. At 10:30 the president announced the meeting open, and in a few and timely words introduced the speaker, Prof. J. D. Wray, agent of the Boys' Corn Club worn, under auspices of United States Department of Agriculture and the A. and T. College, Greensboro, N. C. After stating the object of the meeting, he told how much he appreciated such a large crowd of farmers and to see how much interest they were taking in the meeting. He presented another very prominent speaker who brought to carecured to address the farmers and women of the town, in the person of Miss Minnie L. Jamson (white), of Raleigh, N. C., who has charge of the State and national work of the white women on household economy and home economies. Miss Jamson said, although she was employed by the United States Department of Agriculture for the white women of this State, she did not withhold her instructions from the colored women who would ask her aid. She gave several demonstrations along the line of cooking, showing how the busy housekeeper could prepare a full dinner without losing any time, using the fireless cooker. She also showed how the six-year-old fowl and the toughest piece steak could be made tender and patched with a sauce. Household duties were shown by Miss Jamson. She told the wives how much they could save if they only took care of the little things, and how many doctors' bills could be saved if the women only knew their whole duty Miss Jamson made a great impression among the colored people of Laurinburg. Among others who addressed the conference were Rev. R. H. Harris, Dr. N. E. Jackson, Mr. Walter, P. Eyans, Miss A. M. Vann and Prof. McDunn president of the institute. Prof. W brought to the conference many ful thoughts. The farmers are pr of such a man, and are aree all of the instructions given such help will produce better fr in that county.

I spent a busy day there. I visited the drug stores of Drs. Perry, Williston and Henderson. All are doing nicely. Dr. Henderson, who was only been in business about one year there, has one of the finest drug stores in that section. Messrs. Thanggett, Watson, Musz-III, Williston and N.C. nicely. I left there for Red Springs, N.C. I spent a few successful days in that town. Several were added to our list. This writing finds me today in Bennettville, but tomorrow I will be in Florence, S. C. Since I have been in this State I have been greatly concerned over the conditions of the Southern Negro. Therefore, I ask the question: Is it best for the Negro to leave the South? Thousands are crowding into Northern cities to seek employment. I fear the class of Negroes who are now going into the North will make conditions worse for the colored people on the whole. My reason for saying this is because the crowd which is leaving the South is composed largely of that worthless, indolent and thriftless class when has caused the conditions of the South to exist as we now have them. It is alarming to see how many are leaving this section daily. I observe this is the worst looking type of the race. I shall say more along this line in my next article. Prof. Trigg New President of Bennett College. (Special to Journal and Guide.) Greensboro, N. C.—Prof. Frank Trigg, principal of Virginia Collegiate and Industrial Institute, Lynchburg, Va., has been elected to succeed Dr. J. E. Wallace, who recently resigned as president of Bennett College.

Funeral of Mrs. Carney: Last Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, despite the inclement of the weather, the Zion Baptist Church was filled with sorrowing friends who had gone to pay the last tribute of respect to one of Portsmouth's best known and most estimable women, Mrs. Martha Carney, who departed this life the Monday previous after an illness of about three years. As the casket, which was covered with a profusion of flowers, was borne up the aisle, the strains of the familiar hymn, "Sun of my soul," were softly and impressively played by Mrs. Alma Cannon. The hymn, "I would not live always," preceded the prayer which was followed by the hymn, "There is a land of pure delight." Both of these hymns were selected by the deceased. The 23 Psalm and the obituaries were then read after which Mr. Joseph Harvey sang, with much feeling "Rest for the weary." The funeral sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. J. M. Armistead. He used as his text, "Her warfare is ended. She shall receive of the Lord's hand double for all her conflicts." Dr. Armistead in his sermon paid a glowing tribute to the character and worth of the deceased in the home, the church of the community. WATCHMAKERS & JEWELERS The Leah Tent and Deacons' Aid Society, of which the deceased was a member, attended in bodies. The floral tributes were many and beautiful and were silent evidences of the high regard in which the deceased was held. The family has the deepest sympathy of the entire community.

Williams of Washington formerly of Norfolk, was in Portsmouth last week and addressed the teachers of the city schools in interest of the "World visualized for the classroom."

S. Last Friday afternoon, Messrs. Levi Brown and Jesse Jones visited C. S. S. and enlisted the aid of the teachers in helping to get the children started in the habit of saving by making deposits in the Mutual Saving Bank. Plans by which deposits could be made were discussed and all were interested. By the time the School Saving Fund Class is put into operation it is hoped that every child will be able to become a depositor. The Home and School Improvement League met at C. S. S. on last Monday evening. The meeting was largely attended and much enthusiasm was shown. Plans for the future work of the league were discussed at length. The president, Mrs. S. W. Johns, appointed the following committees: Sewing—Mrs. Mary Jennings, Chairman. Cooking—Mrs. M. Gordon Holmes, Chairman. Social—Mrs. C. L. Douglas, Chairman. Program—Miss Mabel Tynes, Chairman. Remarks made by Prof. Wm. E. Riddick were timely. Refreshments were served after which the league adjourned to meet on the regular date.

IN MEMORIAM. In sad but loving remembrance of our dear one, Mrs. Catherine Wilson, who departed this life Saturday, November the thirteenth, 1916. A one we loved so dear, so well And how we miss her, none can tell. She was gentle, kind and mild The same to husband, friend and child. It is a year ago today. It is a year ago today, Since our best and true friend passed away. Our home has never seemed the same, Since in our midst the sad blue came, And left our hearts so sick and sore God alone knows only the pain we bore. Oh, could we but feel her soft caresses And put our hand on her silver tresses, Life would not seem so sad, and drear, And the load be easier to bear. Thy image is with us day by day And we pray for patience that God gave thee We'll meet thee our loved one above the sky With God and the Angels, until then good-bye. From Family.

The big organization event in Brooklyn for the first week in December will be the nineteenth annual reception of the Society of the Sons of Virginia. The reception, which is one of the society functions to which the public looks forward with great interest, will be held at Summer hall, on Fulton street, on Monday evening, Dec. 4. John W. Winters, one of Brooklyn's well known and successful business men, is chairman of the reception committee, with James F. Flippin and J. W. Patterson secretary and treasurer respectively. Harry P. Fisher's orchestra will furnish the music for the occasion, and the comfort of the guests will be looked after by Pleasant D. Early. The occasion will afford an opportunity for a general reunion of persons from Virginia, as well as a grand social intermingling of the public. The society is in fine condition financially and numerically—eighteen new members during the year—and has met all of its financial obligations. SOUTH MUST "TOTE" SQUARE.

IF Telephone Norfolk 1061 it is with something like incredulity that we read of attempts made by the public authorities in Georgia to prevent laborers of the colored race from leaving the state to work in the tobacco fields and elsewhere in New England, says the Boston Congregationalist in a recent issue. Can it be true, after all, that the Georgian in his heart really considers the Negro as an asset and not a detriment to his state? If so he might do a little more to help the Negro churches and to secure the rights of the Negro in his home and schools and in the political life of the community. South's Labor Situation is Serious. The number of colored persons who have left the states of Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi since Sept. 1 for the north, according to figures given out recently, is placed at 50,000. No figures were given for the large number of laborers who have gone from Louisiana, Texas and South Carolina. --- THE IMPLEMENT SHED. From now on till next spring most of the implements of cultivation will not be used nor will be planters. The place for them and for all implements not in use every day is under the shed. Why? What does a man work for? Implements cost money. Exposure to the elements causes them to rust, warp and decay. When they are gone more work must be done to get more money to buy more implements, when just a little work and a little care at the right time would have made them last a year or two or three longer.

Snowden Porter, president, has done a noteworthy service in its work to secure the ballot for women. In the campaign just closed the federation adopted and used the following as its platform and plea for fair play; A group of Illinois women, encouraged as they were by the hope of this new emancipation offered to them by their state and realizing the opportunities afforded them in their work of social service through the ballot, are cooperating with their sister workers having the same or partial rights in their effort to make national suffrage a fact, thereby giving to all women the power to use the ballot for the purpose of securing such legislation as will promote the advancement of all citizens of all sections of this country. "Deeds, not words," is a motto much believed in by this group of earnest women, and they set about the work of organizing women of the "old northwest" and the "now northwest" with these ideas in mind at their first annual meeting, held at Wichita, Kun, adopted as their platform of principles, among other planks, a recommendation for a national child labor law and one for universal suffrage, asking the national parties, which intended to make their appeal to the voting contingency for support, to incorporate these principles or their substance in their 1910 platforms. This organization has been carefully watching the situation since that time and analyzing the pledges of the parties and their nominees, especially those of the Democratic and Republican parties, Woodrow Wilson and Charles Evans Hughes. The paramount issue, so far as women are concerned, is universal suffrage, for it will be through this source only that we can hope for such legislation as we have continually asked for, which will bring to us all the other progressive measures along social and economic lines and assure to the home and the community the security and welfare of the people. Universal suffrage will make the child labor law secure. We have worked for, hoped for it a long time. Therefore we want to stand by our own platform and use all women to cooperate with the "wrote for women" movement. Such laws we have also looked forward to as a protection to our children and future man and women and a safeguard to the health and happiness of the breadwinner, but when we analyze this legislation carefully, given us in the eleventh hour, presumably for political purposes, we find little of merit in the giver. America is again in travail, the result of which we are hoping and praying will give birth to national woman suffrage, that new emancipation to ward which women have been working and hoping for more than forty years, hoping and working to free themselves from a bondage of inequality. As at the time of the emancipation of the Negro slave, so it is now in the affairs of the nation. Men's hearts are falling then for fear of what is coming upon the republic, whatever they may say to the contrary. They are seeking everywhere for a solution of the problems which are continually confronting them. Wars and rumors of wars, disasters by land and sea, labor complications, the tariff question, many matters of social and economic interest, are constantly engaging the attention of our wheat and most sober statesmen. They involve the consideration of congress, and still they are far from solution. Our country was never in a more unsettled condition since its discovery than it is at the present time. Wherever women have been given the franchise, either partial or in full, home and community conditions have been bettered because laws have been made better and more secure. Yet, as "a little leaven leaventh the whole lump," there must of necessity come a retardation of effect, and we can only hope for universal and steady advancement when all the women in every part of the country shall have the power to express their desire through the ballot. Until then we shall continue to see our country rise and fall, like the cbb and flow of the sea. Four years ago there came to us a new party with a new platform, with new planks, offering us protective child labor laws and woman's suffrage. This party was to woman like the cloud the size of a man's hand. The hope extended then has grown until, like that cloud, it has grown for us to the typical "pillar of fire," leading to the promised day, as our fellow man have extended that franchise. The new planks of 1912 have become the vital issues of the campaign just closed. INFLUENCE OF NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE Indications of Race Solidarity Been in Support Given Militant Body. The good influence of the annual meeting of the National Equal Rights league, recently held in Washington, is being rapidly felt throughout the country. In several cities in different sections branch leagues are being organized to promote the work of the national body, which has so indelibly impressed itself on the mind of so many of our people who have at last seen that the race can only do its best work through well organized effort.

ORDERSMADEUP Phone 4204-J At a meeting held in Brooklyn the latter, part of October by a group of prominent citizens It was decided to organize a branch league and adopt the policy and program of the National league for racial advancement in all matters of public movement, especially to war against discrimination on account of race or color in places or conveyances for the public. This Brooklyn meeting was presided over by Mrs. M. C. Lawton, president of the Empire State, Federation of Women's clubs, and the only woman of the race employed as a contributor to a daily paper in Greater New York, John H. Dekauson, a prominent member of the Society of the Sons of North Carolina, was secretary of the meeting, and N. B. Doolson, president of the Society of the Sons of Virginia, agreed to furnish the proposed branch with the plans of the main organization. Hon. George E. Willecum delivered a most timely address at the meeting, in the course of which he said that William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, had involved a national vindication from the charge made by some that Mr. Trotter injured the race in some respects by his attitude or remarks at what is now popularly known as the Trotter-Wilson episode of November, 1914. The officers of the National Equal Rights league for 1910-17 are the following: Rev. Byron Gunner, New York, president; vice presidents, Rev. R. C. Ransom, New Jersey; William D. Brigham, Massachusetts; Rev. Harvey Johnson, Maryland; Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Burnett, Illinois; Rev. C. H. Stephon, District of Columbia; Rev. M. F. Sydes, Rhode Island; Rev. W.

Spencer was elected chairman of the national executive committee. BARN WHSDOM. "Barns For Wisconsin Dairy Farms" is the title of a new bullerin issued by the Wisconsin experiment station. The following counsel applies most anywhere: Gambrel roofs give more room for hay than do gable roofs. This is an important point to consider. The barn should have its length run north and south if the largest amount of direct sunlight is to be let inside. Rectangular shaped barns are more satisfactory than round ones. The location should be at least 200 feet from the house and handy to a wall, sheds and grabaria. Drainage is necessary if the stock is to be kept healthy. Concrete is the best product than can be used for the foundation, ground floor and wall of the barn. Build the barn large enough to meet future needs and to permit the handling of the maximum capacity of the farm. If the new barn just holds the stock at time of building another barn will probably be needed soon. 1367 O'Keefe St., Norfolk, Va.

Saturday, November 25, 1916 THE LABOR EXODUS. Reports received from a special representative of The Journal and Guide traveling in North and South Carolina, regarding the exodus of colored laborers from those States to the North, are anything but reassuring. The reports state that hundreds of laborers are almost daily leaving different parts of the States covered by our representative. Such a condition of affairs promises nothing less than a labor famine in the near future, which means serious consequences to Southern industries and Southern farms. The situation in North Carolina and South Carolina is typical of the situation in other Southern States, except that in Georgia, Florida and Alabama, the exodus is more general. Heretofore there has been no general demand for Negro laborers in big manufacturing, railroad and other industrial enterprises in Northern States. The European immigrant filled this need admirably for the North. But the European war cut off immigration, and that was worse, thousands of the male immigrants of military age have been recalled to take their places in the standing armies of their native countries. This situation created great gaps in the ranks of industrial workers, and it is these gaps that Negro laborers from the South are being called upon to fill. The Negro being more docile, less resentful, more easily fitted and a better manual laborer the European immigrant there is doubt that he will become a white fixture as a laborer in the pre- and that the laborers that are Welling North will hold their places in the war in spite of competition bearful investigation discloses the in the at the colored laborers that are short ing North are being recruited limbate ranks of those who work on brains, around the logging and hummits, and those who perform the woofest manual labor in the various terrestries of the South. For the most art this class has been a floating element in the South, drifting from one camp, mill or city to another, but always remaining in the South and constituting the South's mainstay for hard labor. The exodus has not affected the colored people in the South who are buying homes and farms, or those engaged in the trades and similar pursuits. The exodus provides more labor and better wages for those who remain, but it is taking away from the South its main dependence for a kind of labor not often sought by those who remain. That constitutes the most serious phase of the question for the employers of the South. The danger to Southern people in this matter is that in most respects they are not taking the matter seriously, and where they are taking it seriously they are not pursuing the most practical course to check the exodus. Southern cities have stopped at passing a few ordinancees prohibiting labor agents from operating, and in some instances rank and unjustifiable steps have been taken, like, for instance, the arrest and imprisonment of hundreds of colored men in Savannah, Ga., who had purchased tickets for the North. Such action only creates resentment among the Negroes and accelerates the exodus. The Southern papers in some sections are content to descent upon the popular notion of the attitude of the North toward the Negro as compared with the attitude of the South, the following from the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot being a fair sample: "The Negro at the North is an alien, personally an object of aversion and racially of jealousy to the industrial classes and of contemptuous indifference to all others. At the South he is the object of kindly feeling breed by long association, his good qualities are appreciated; his blessing weaknesses are humored, his troubles find sympathy, his endeavors at betterment are helped, and he is not made to feel that he is an abstract proposition to be studied at arm's length and only tolerated at a distance." The Negro has gotten along very well as a laborer in the South, and the present indications of a new era of industrial activity in this part of the country gives promise of more labor and better wages than ever. But in order to keep the Negro laborer in the South, which is desirable both for the best interests of the South as well as for the Negro, more practical and more sensible methods must be adopted than those now in use. The Negro is human, and no matter how poor or how ignorant he may be, there lingers in his breast that instinctive human desire to have a better chance, to live in a better house, to send his children to a better school, and, in short, to get more out of life. The idea in the South has been to keep the Negro poor, keep him ignorant and void of any ideals, and a good laborer would be always at hand. This plan utterly fails, when the Northerner, hard pressed for labor to operate his industries comes among this yearning class and holds out the promise of a tenement house with a bath-room attached, night schools for the man and his wife and day schools ten months in the year for their children, higher wages and a man's treatment. When the South can see this problem from the Negro's viewpoint, as the Northerner sees it, and subordinates precedent in the treatment of the Negro laborer to practicality, the exodus of Negro laborers from the South to the North will cease, but—not until then. Elsewhere in this paper Dr. Powhatan Schenck, Norfolk Health Commissioner, calls the attention of midwives and nurses to the new law regarding birth registration. It is necessary that all nurses and midwives who attend obstetric cases register at the department of health, No. 9 Monticello Avenue. Failure to comply with this order is a violation of law and is punishable by a fine. PUBLIC OPINION At the present time the United States Supreme Court is divided as evenly as it can be between the parties, at five to four. The Republicans are Joseph McKenna, Oliver Wendell Holmes, William R. Day, Willis Van Deunter and Mahlon Pitney; the Democrats are Edward D. White, James C. McReynolds, Louis D. Brandeis and John H. Clarke. In all human probability Mr. Wilson will be called upon to appoint a number of justices in the next four years. He has already appointed the three Democrats last named. If Mr. Hughes had remained on the bench he would have stood a fair chance of being the next Chief Justice, but that is another story. The likelihood is that President Wilson will give the august tribunal a Democratic majority before his term is out.—Providence Journal. Foods Dearer Than in Berlin. In the table of food prices in Berlin cited by Mr. Swope in the World recently, the eye is caught by such scarcity prices as $2 a pound for cocon, $1.75 a pound for ham and bacon, 30 cents a pound for pears and half as much for apples, 90 cents a pound for greece. Quite as sensational, read in New York, is the list of foods still cheaply sold. Berlin pays 8 cents for 1.1 quarts of milk. Potatoes are 1-1.2 cents for 1.1 pounds, or 21 cents a peck; our wholesale price is more than double, and a Western moving picture show has sold admission tickets for two potatoes each. Berlin pays 6 cents for 1.1 pounds of cornmeal; though corn is an American specialty, the price cannot be matched in New York. Even butter, in spite of the dearth of fats in Germany, costs 39 cents for 1.1 pounds, well under the New York price. Bread, in war time doubly the stuff of life, costs the Berkshire house $1.25 a pound, precisely the same as the New York 12-ounce loaf at 6 cents. Measured by dollar exchange the German mark has been for weeks at a discount of 25 or more per cent, some portion of which represents paper currency inflation in German markets. Even if no allowance be made for cheap inflated money, the puzzling problem remains why New York at peace should pay so much more for so many foods than Berlin at war.—New York World. BIRTHDAY PARTY.

BASIC CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT The government of the United States sprang into being because of the absolute necessity of the banding together of the inhabitants of the American colonies in upholding certain incontestable rights. Among these were the right of government by the consent of the governed and the right to voice in representation where taxation is imposed. The basic control of the government of the United States is the constitution of the United States. This document was instituted "in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, etc., says the Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Alabama. The founders of the government in order to secure a more perfect organization than could have otherwise been secured made certain compromises on the slavery question, but finally the constitution of the United States was so perfected by amendments as to embrace all its citizens within the folds of its guarantee. "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction." The amendments to the constitution furthermore defined United States citizenship and set forth the nationality of the United States citizen by the declaration that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside." To make the right of United States citizenship emphatic and secure the constitution further set forth that "no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." With the object in view of protecting the ballot rights of all its citizens the constitution assorted this declaration: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." Those who vote in the United States as well as those who are inducted into office take solemn oath to uphold the constitution of the United States. Every citizen in the United States is obligated and sworn to support and maintain the principles of the constitution in its letter and in its spirit. None are expected to deny to others rights which they may justify demand for themselves. The ideal of this government of ours is that it is "a government of the people, by the people and for the people." "The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states." The constitution of the United States put upon the nation the expressed obligation furthermore that "the United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a republican form of government." It was the aim of the constitution of the United States that constitutional liberty and constitutional rights should remain inviolate to every citizen in every state. That every state government should and must comply with the fundamental principles conculated therein is too plainly set forth in the constitution of the United States to require any discussion. It is difficult of comprehension, therefore, that in a government of such lofty conception there has been perpetrated by partisan political maneuvering gross contravention of the ballot rights of the United States citizens in at least ten states of the Union. The extent to which this aggression has gone will be looked upon as something astounding by those who give this subject due consideration. It is almost unaniment that public sentiment in this nation is not alive to the organ and flurent conflict with the fundamental rights of the people which exists in the southern states. Infiltration upon the liberties of the people of the south has grown to such startling proportion through the general unconcern on the part of the people of the entire country that this condition has become not only the problem of the people of these states, who as citizens of these states are so directly involved, but one of vital moment to all the people of the nation. Chattel slavery was abolished as inconsistent with the principles of our free government. The republic could not continue half slave and half free. Disfranchisement in the south, a form of political slavery, equally as obnoxious and entirely one of conformity with the letter and spirit of the constitution of the United States, will as usurely be finally overthrown. DR. E. H. HUNTER LECTURES AT COREY INSTITUTE Monday night, November 20, Dr. E. H. Hunter, pastor of the Immunol A. M. E. Church, Portsmouth, Va., delivered a very helpful, instructive and entertaining lecture in the chapel of the Corey Memorial Institute.

The Corey Glese Club and Mrs. Rachel Webb rendered some very pleasing musical selections. After the program those present were served with refreshments by the Corey League, under whose auspices the entertainment was given. The entertainment was a success in every particular, and more interest is being aroused in the Corey School and more friends are being gained. Do You Have Sour Stomach.

On our trip last week in the interest of the Journal and Guide we spent Saturday and Sunday in Franklin, Va., where we are always glad to stop and enjoy both a business and social hand shake with the good people of that town. We have never visited a town where the colored people are more willing to patronize enterprises nor where they were more devoted to the Journal and Guide. Nearly every business man in the town reads that up to date race paper. Those that do not subscribe show that they recognize the value of the paper for they wait until their neighbors' paper comes and borrow, and read it any way. It will be hard to find a more progressive people than those in Franklin. Many of them own their homes and they live in nice modern and substantial residences. This progressive spirit and awakening of race pride bear upon the advent of Dr. Ashburn and his labors in the town, as pastor of Cool Spring Church, which was wonderfully reinforced by the influence of Franklin Normal and Industrial School which was founded and built by Mrs. D. I. Hayden, the present principal, and a woman of excellent qualities and executive ability. Dr. Ashburn laid so well the foundation of progress and success for the colored citizens of Franklin that it still lives and the evidence is there in abundance. The great church edifice, Cool Spring, is an evidence of his labors and earnest efforts there. We attended Sunday School and service at Cool Spring last Sunday which was an enjoyable occasion. Dr. Tim, the pastor, is a splendid pulpit orator and has all the force necessary to sound leadership. Prof. Holland, the superintendent, is an ideal manager, it will be hard to find a Sunday School better equipped, or a school deducted or more perfectly disciplined. Colored business men of Franklin are also in the progressive march. Both branches of the Insurance companies there have shrewd business men as managers. There are two first class barber shops. Mr. M. C. Boone and Messrs. Ricks and Vaughan are the equal of any in town or city and all succeeding well. Mr. Brown, a gentleman of rare business capacity, conducts a nice grocery store. Mr. N. C. Batchelor runs a cafe grocery store and a dealer in fish and oysters. J. W. Weaver, a leading citizen, the new conducts mills where she has made business. W. W. Urquhart, the older barber, runs a shop that cannot be excelled. We were invited to dine at the pleasant hime of Mr. R. H. Arrington last Sunday, where we were please to meet Mrs. Arrington, who recently became the mistress of that home. She is a pleasant lady and a delighted hostess. We enjoyed the occasion and extend to Mr. and Mrs. Arrington our grateful appreciation. SELECT CHOIR WILL PRESENT PAGEANT.

Engaged to R. Nathaniel Datt, Director of Vocal Music at the Hampton (Va.) Institute. [Image of a woman's profile, wearing a headband and a necklace, with a serene expression.] Hampon, Va.-The engagement is announced here of R. Nathaniel Dett, director of the Hampon Choral union and director of vocal music at Hampon institute, and Miss Helen Elise Smith, pianist, of New York. Miss Smith is one of the directors of the Martin-Smith School or Music in New York. She holds two diplomas from the Institute of Music Art, of which Walter Damrosch is the director. Miss Smith has appeared with David Mannes and other leading artists. Last May she was one of the five artists presented in the Hampon institute musical festival. She also has the distinction of being the original pianist of the Music Settlement School For Colored People in New York. The genius, being creative, is sufficient unto himself, but the artist is a happy composition of native ability and superior training. Miss Helen Elise Smith is an artist. As a little child she enriched a remarkable aptitude for music and at eleven was regarded a very promising piano student. When her musical education had got beyond the ordinary instructor she easily passed the very rigid entrance requirements for the Institute of Musical Art of New York and after studying there for seven years graduated with honor. Sigismund Stojowski, the favorite pupil of Paderewski, was her piano teacher, and her instructors in harmony, theory and composition are recognized authorities in their particular lines. Mr. H. B. Kreibbel, formerly music critic for the New York Tribute, and other well known critics have emphatically expressed their appreciation of her interpretation of difficult compositions. Mr. Dett is a graduate of Oberlin conservatory. He is not only a young pianist who possesses unusual technical ability, but he is also a promising composer, whose work has already commanded the attention and praise of the musical world on account of its originality, its skill and its heart appeal. "Some of Mr. Dett's best known work includes 'Magnolia Suite.' "In the Bottoms," "Hampton, My Home by the Sea," "Lent to the Lambs," etc. Showing the wonderful dolges and new opportunities of our race, low price pieces many lights, lighting seller, 10.00 per day, skirts for terms, white quiks. Austin Jeanssons, B.U.S.T., Washington, D.C. Making the Little Farm Pay By C. C. BOWSFIELD "After all is said and done this question of agricultural success depends, first of all, on the farmer and his family. If they have the right spirit and are possessed of enough capital to get started they will turn inferior land into choice farms and win a degree of success that indifferent people never would hope for." Such is a summing up of the farm ownership question made by a practical man, who is in deep sympathy with the present movement of city people toward rural life. What is true of town residents in connection with ownership applies also to person... of limited means who are trained farmers. Farms are selling in unusual numbers at present, and close observers are able to point out the rising tide of sentiment among city people in favor of country homes and practical farming. It is easily seen that the high A man stands in a field, holding a stick and facing a large bull. The bull is standing on its hind legs, with its head raised. The man is wearing a white shirt and dark pants. The background consists of a grassy field with trees. prices for all kinds of commodities, especially poultry, eggs, vegetables, fruits, canned goods and many edibles that amateurs are able to produce without long experience, are encouraging to beginners. There is no doubt about the fact that many crops which are easiest to raise and which lend themselves to little farm programs pay the highest rate of profit. Those taking particular skill, long experience and heavy investments for horses and machinery pay much less than truck and fruit crops, poultry, etc., which amateurs are able to handle without great loss of time. There are other considerations which afford encouragement to the average farm owner. One is that land is steadily advancing in value and generally can be sold within a few years for much more than was paid for it. This matter of investment alone is worth the careful consideration of all prudent people who have a taste for country life and who would like to be in touch with agriculture. Then there is the question of independence and security for the small farmer and his family. Workingmen who have families to maintain are much better off in the country than in the city, whether they work for others or own a bit of land. Every year sees an increase in the number of large farmers who appreciate the wisdom of having steady hired men and who arrange to provide comfortable houses for married employees. When a man of family gets a good place in the country he should never leave it except to work a farm of his own. A farm hand usually saves money. If he does not do so it is his own fault and he would not save anything in town. The advantages of locating in the agricultural district must therefore include the safety and security which families will soon feel. In connection with a general advance in wages it is well for a town person to acquire farm experience and be in a position to buy land when he sees the rich opportunity, but if able to invest at once it is a pretty safe conclusion that property will never be cheaper. The poor man taking a farm now and working it to the best of his ability for a few years will not only make money as he goes along, but will gain a substantial fortune by the advance in real estate. The better the farming the more the profit and the quicker the owner will be able to sell to somebody who is inspired by a demonstrated success. Many a farmer has struggled for years to pay his debts, and perhaps as old age comes he does not seem to have accomplished much, but all at once he wakes up to find that a well equipped little farm, anywhere from twenty to fifty acres, clear of incumbrance, is a tidy fortune for the average family. Usually such a farmer has a good line of trade for his products and earns a large cash income every year, so that he has both his land and a bank account. All through the United States we see progressive farmers who are able to give their sons and daughters a college education as a result of adopting modern methods and putting their hearts into the agricultural vocation. It is the part of wisdom for any family taking a small farm to make the home a place of beauty and contentment. When this has been accomplished it will not be so very difficult to lay out interesting programs for working the land in such a way as to attain the best possible results.

It knocked me out speechless to the ground and some one was compelled to come to my assistance. When I came to myself, there was a cavity in my forehead about two inches long and % of an inch wide. This blow was so severe that I was compelled to quit my work. I began to feel worse and worse. I came to the city of NORFOLK to my cousin's home. His wife, Mrs. White, a member of Bank street, told me of the good that Rev. Cummings is doing for her as a patient. She advised me to go and see him. I had a talk with him. I started his German Treatment at once. Within seven days I was cured from my troubles. May God ever continue his blessings upon such a man who is seeking to do such good to humanity.

For sale by all Druggists: THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE SUNDAY SCHOOL SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson IX.—Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 26, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES Text of the Lesson, Rom. xll, 1-8 Memory Verse, 6-8—Golden Text, Rom. xll, 1—Commentary Prepared by Roy. D. M. Stearns. This is our last study in the epistles for some time to come, but the believer who desires to grow in grace and walk with the Lord will study them constantly. In our lesson of two weeks ago we gave some attention to the whole of this epistle, but a little repetition will be helpful, with some additional thoughts. The epistles, as a rule, are for believers or saints or saved sinners to build them up and in them for service, that God may be glorified in them and other sinners saved to help complete the church and bring the time of the kingdom. The first eight chapters of this letter teach most fully and clearly that all, without exception, Jews and gentiles, are sinners and guilty before God and that salvation is wholly of grace, apart from any works of ours, and that, being justified freely by His grace, we are made children of God, joint heirs with Jesus Christ, in the love from which nothing can separate us; that, while we wait for our redemption bodies and the deliverance of the whole creation from its bondage and grooming, we have all things freely given us in Christ and all things are working together for our highest good. Chapters 1x, x, xl may well be called an epistle within an epistle concerning Israel and has tuture. Then in our lesson chapter and onward we are told how we ought to live here to the glory of God because of all that He has done for us through grace. "I beseech you, therefore brethren, by the mercles of God," because of His great grace, His great love, His great salvation, the great glory of the kingdom to which He has called you, all that He has done for you, is doing now and will yet do. Let Him have your body to live in, to make a mansion of, while He is preparing your mansion in glory. In item, vll, 28, 81, 84, we learn that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all for us, and in John xiv, 17, 23, we learn that they will make their home in us if we are willing, making each of us a mansion for the indwelling Trinity while our mansion in heaven is being prepared. The words "mansion" and "abode" in John xiv, 23, are the same word in the Great, a little noun of only four letters, and used nowhere else. The same truth is stated a little differently in Eph. 11, 17, "that Christ may dwell or make His home in your heart by faith." The living sacrifice consists of our being willing to die to all that is of self for His sake. It cannot be self and Christ. It must be "Not I, but Christ" (Gal. 1, 20, "We who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus" gale that the life also of Jesus might, be made manifest in our mortal dush" (I Cor. iv, 10, 11). As it is written in Rom. vll, 30; Ps. xlix, 22, "For thy sake we are killed all the day long." Being made accepted in the Beloved at such infinite cost, so grow a sacrifice on His part it is a reasonable service that we should be willing to be a sacrifice for Him, both in word and deed, that He may be seen in us and known through us (Phil. iv, 18; Heb. xil, 15, 16). We have been called out of the world to continue in it, but not be of it. The whole world lenth in the wicked one. It is an evil world, and its ways and customs are all opposed to God, and the only correct attitude for the believer is crucified to it and it to us (Gal. 1, 41, 41; John v. 10). The works of God are beautiful, but men at enmity with God are under the control of the devil, and the condition of things in Europe (June, 1915) gives us some idea of what he can do. He is a doeceiver, a liar, a destroyer, a murderer, and all who are not in Christ and on his side are on the side of the devil. How can a child of God be willing to be conformed to such a world? The word that is translated "transformed" is used only four times and twice in the account of our Lord's transfiguration (Matt. xvii and Mark. x). The other place besides here is I Cor. ill. 15, where the translation is "are changed." Our lesson verse says that the change must be inward, the renewing of our mind. It begins when we receive the Lord Jesus and then become new creature in Christ then as we continue beholding Him we are changed by the Spirit day by day proving move and more fully how good and acceptable and perfect the will of God is. All that follows in our lesson chapter is the varied manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit, which He will work in us if we are gifted to Him. Verses 8-10 tell of a lowly mind and a lowly aim, not thinking anything of ourselves nor seeking great things for ourselves. There is a place and a ministry for each member of the body, as the Spirit may decide; and no room for envy or jealousy (verses 4-5). In the service of the Lord there must be diligence, with joy and patience and prayer and love, a readiness to forgive and to esteem others better than ourselves (verses 0-15). Verse 18 hints that it may not be possible to live peaceably with some people, and such circumstances will need special grace and wisdom and guidance, which God will not fall to give. --- X Norfolk, Va., Oct. 22-27, 1916. The occasion being the 5th Anniversary of the pastor and the 28th of our church, the services were grand and inspiring, and were more encouraging than ever before. Every one seemed glad and willing to work for the Master and we were able to come together as one before the phone. The thrilling and inspiring sermons by Dr. D. Jennings of the First Baptist Church, Pinners Point, was very much enjoyed by all, and all made to rejoice in the God of their salvation. The church is in better condition now than ever before. It has raised more money under the administration of our pastor, Dr. A. E. Jeffress, than at any time in the history of the church. The church has been remodeled, the mortgage lifted, and everything is now free and clear of debt. The Sunday School is doing a great work under Bro. Gideon Brockett, the Superintendent, and is on a progressive march to success. The attendance has been increased, the song service better and everything goes to show that we have the right man in the lead. The services of Deacon Benjamin Kittrell is also worthy of note. He is never a man for making a noise but in working for the Master he is ever ready and willing and on the alert. Upon investigation it will be found that he is at the root of nearly all of the church movements for good. Many encouraging remarks were by the members and friends of the church, among them were those of Miss Ethel Cowling, teacher of the New Light School and Miss Ethel Ferebee teacher of the Mt. Bethel School. On Friday night all of the members and friends were served with cream and cake, which all seemed to enjoy; after which the pastor was presented with a purse of $15.00, and to his surprise, in view of the high cost of living, the members and friends presented to him the contents of a loaded wagon and when he looked in, behold there were chickens, peaches, potatoes, turnips, canned fruits, preserves, nuts, sugar and many other good things. Now the Dr. wishes to extend a vote of thanks to all who participated in this movement and assisted in any way the cause of the Master and the Master's wife. And may the blessings of the Master rest upon you now and forever. Bank Street Baptist Church. Rev. Edgar E. Ricks, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Roanoke, Virginia, will fill the pulpit at 11 o'clock and 7:30 p. m., Sunday 29th. The public is cordially invited to worship with us.

King is a native of Princess Anne, Md., and possesses a liberal education, having procured his training in the University and at Morgan College, Baltimore. About two decades ago he came South and located in North Carolina, and while here pastored some of the largest and most flourishing stations in the connection. Coming from our large charge at Elizabeth City, with the members of that church desirous of his return, Rev. King was appointed to service here. He found our church in a stringent financial stress, with creditors impatient and disatisfied, but in a few months the Church of Morgan bursary liquidated the pressing monetary obligations and so organized and systematized the church that a complete record for the year will exceed six thousand dollars.

Ministers' Conference met last. Tuesday as usual. met last Tuesday as usual. The attendance was good, including four visiting ministers, among them was the Rev. F. W. Ellegor, recently from the Republic of Liberia. His remarks regarding his visit to America and the pleasure of witnessing the proceedings of the Conference were very interesting. Couraging reports from the ministers were heard. Those who recently closed revivals gave the number of converts and accessions as follows: Dr. E. H. Hunter, pastor Emanuel Church, Portsmouth, reported 84 converts and 60 accessions. Rev. E. F. Hardy, pastor Bethel A. M. E. Church, Omancock, 40 converts and 49 accessions. Rev. J. H. Duckett, Princess Anne Church, 18 con- tents. Rev. I. T. Wareau, of Macdonald Church, Suffolk, 65 converts. Upon a report to the Conference that Rev. Dr. O. T. Day, presiding elder, was very ill there were many expressions of regret and sympathy for him.

This was recently publicly verified by a unanimous vote of the members and friends of Metropolitan for his return. Spiritually the church is alive as never before. Already an organization known as the "Brotherhood of Zion," has been instituted, and a similar organization among the women is being effected. The purposes of both of which are for the spiritual, mutual, numerical and financial advancement of the Church. To close this article without a personal mention of Mrs. N. D. King, the esteemed and amable wife of the pastor, would be indeed a gross error. Mr. King lives in an atmosphere perfectly suited for our careful attention to her guest is so far out of eulogy and a model for emulation. By the wisdom of the ensuing Conference many changes may take place through him whose authority over appointments is absolute and in view of the foregoing fact, the members and friends of the church do respectfully and most earnestly request the return of the popular pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church of this city. VIRGINIA CONFERENCE The Virginia Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church, will convene at St. Thomas A. M. E.

Whom It May Concern: For many years I have been a constant sufferer with headache; at times the attacks were so very severe that I was unable to attend to my work. I also suffered with my kidneys, loss of flesh, tired, and exhausted feeling. I was in a general run-down condition. Since taking Dr. Cummings' treatment I have gained more than seven pounds and now feel entirely well. I most heartily recommend and endorse Dr. Cummings' treatment to each and every sufferer. (Signed) J. E. GOODWYM. AMUSEMENTS PALACE HAS WONDERFUL PROGRAM FOR NEXT WEEK Big Features Are Playing An Important Part On The Programs For The Week. The Palace is earning for itself the name of "The House of Quality." The reason for this is the fact that the Palace offerings are of the highest quality, bearing the trade mark of Triangle, Fox, Metro, Keystone and Mutual. There is no question about the quality of the pictures produced by these concerns. They feature artists that are not amaturish but are well seasoned in the profession and the highest salaried in the world, artists whose work appeals to the loftiest aesthetic taste. "The Lass of the Lumberlands," featuring that most popular, fearless and charming character, Helen Holmes, made good at the Palace last Saturday and it is expected that a capacity audience will witness the third episode which is a member of the program for Saturday of this week. For the big feature for this day the management has secured a Triangle-Ince production, featuring William H. Thompson and Charles Ray, entitled, "The Divident." The program will be supplemented by a splendid Keystone comedy entitled, "Denny's Bluff." The Triangle and Keystone offerings for Monday are productions of the highest character. "His Wild Oats" with Ford Sterling in the title role is especially funny and interesting while "A Wild Girl of the Sierras" attains a point of quality that is seldom reached in a photo play. Florence Turner plays the leading role in "A Welsh Singer" Tuesday. Miss Turner is one of the most capable of the Mutual stars and is very charming in her manner and popular with her audience. The Metro Pictures Corporation offers Lionel Barrymore in "The Quitter" Wednesday, a Metro wonderplay of supreme appeal. Mr. Barrymore is a member of the Barrymore-Drew family of artists, and was born to the stage and one of the first recognized stage stars to enter the motion picture field. He made his first debut with D. W. Griffith and was featured in the Biograph features but his best work has been with the Metro Corporation. In "The Quitter" he plays an exceptionally strong role and scores one of his best hits. The program at the Palace for the rest of the week is well balanced and will be pleasing to the most exacting. MANHATTAN CHANGES ITS POLICY Puts On Big Feature Programs and Charges Only a Nickel for Beginning with this week the Manhattan changed its policy and will hereafter give a big feature program every day and hold its admission price within the reach of all, 5 cents. Herefore the admission price to the theatre, on certain days was 10 cents. The lowering of the admission price to this popular theatre does not mean that the standard of its pictures will be lowered. It is thought by the management that the standardizing of its price of admission will bring to the house & more consistent patronage. The features will always be clean, attractive, full of entertainment and inspiration. Good dramas and comedies will be screened each day and aside from these the Manhattan is screening an abundance of chapter plays and serial stories. A scanning of the program for next week, which appears on this stage, will enable one to form an intelligent opinion of the offerings. The tenth episode of "The Yellow Menace" for Monday is undoubtedly the most gripping of the entire series. Its sub-title is "A Message From the Sky" an outline of which is as follows: Sato, one of Ali Singh's Japanese helpers, obtains lessons in aviation and steals a fine monoplane, with which he actually succeeds in dropping a message in Manning's garden, showing that Margaret and May have been captured again. It is too true. Their release from torture is promised if Manning surrenders himself to Ali Singh. Hong Kong Harry is lashed almost to death and owes his life to Najla. West High Will Play St. Paul's. The West High School football squad are preparing for their game with St. Paul's Normal and Industrial School, Lawrenceville, Va., on Thanksgiving day. This will be the biggest game of the season for the high school eleven and they have been looking forward to it with great enthusiasm. The team is now at its best and will put up the best game of the season. The St. Paul eleven is one of the strongest in the State, and a great battle is expected on the Lawrenceville gridiron when the two teams meet. In the game with the Y. M. C. A. last week in which the former came out victors the High School eleven played their second string man. Capt. Edwards, Southall, Parker, Spence and Keeling were all out of the game. Manager Robinson did not want to run the risk of injuring any of his first team players before the game with St. Paul. West High School Successums to Y. M. C. A. Onshaupts. The Y. M. C. A. scored a 32 to 7 victory over the West High School last Thursday afternoon at League Park. Despite the one sided score the game was marked by soce brilliant plays on both sides. The High School boys although outplayed put up a stiff article of ball. Their tackling was hard, but the Association boys had usually crossed the line of scrimmage before they were brought to earth. Bray, Faulks, Lee, Johnson, Freeman and Harrison tore big holes in the school boys ranks. Harrison in particular showed himself to be the best quarter back ever developed in this section. He is a star of the first magnitude and bears watching in any game which he enters. The victorious Y. M. C. A. boys lined up as follows: Sidney Johnson, Rogers, ends; Morgan, Freeman, tackles; Wilson, Lee, Johnson, guards; Robinson, center; Harrison, quarterback; Bray, Faulks, halfbacks; Bowden, fullback. Dr. Coppage and James Brown neted as referee and umpire, respectively. Mr. Dancy is trying to arrange a game for Thanksgiving to be played at the race track between the Y. M. C. A. and the Sewanees. This latter team disputes the right of the Association as the city's champions. DON'T MISS YOUR TRAIN FOR THE LINCOLN-UNION GAME Thanksgiving Day 2:30 P. M. HOVEY PARK, RICHMOND RALEIGH, N. C.
