FOR CONSERVATION OF WHITE PRINT PAPER Virginia-Carolina Publishers Urged To Practice Every Economy Possible. Richmond, Va., Dec. 6.—Tentative plans for the conservation of the news paper supply of Virginia and North Carolina suggestions for the conservation of the paper used for wrapping purposes in mercantile houses in the two States, and the starting of a nation-wide movement to bring the print-paper problem before Congress in a forbible manner, was the most accomplished yesterday afternoon at a joint conference of the executive committee of the Virginia Press Association and a committee representing the North Carolina Press Association. The following letter was addressed to Virginia publishers last night by the executive committee of the Virginia Press Association: "Such a crisis confronts the weekly and daily publications of Virginia on account of exorbitant prices of which print paper and the threatened advance that afflicts of the Virginia Press Association feel that your urgent attention should be called to the personal danger which confronts you. "Paper which sold a year ago at $2.40 per 100 pounds is now selling at from $6 to $10 per 100 pounds, and there is no promise of any decline in prices but a greater probability of increase, and perhaps an inability to provide paper at any price. "Your executive committee and officers strongly urge the following action by the papers of Virginia: Second—An appeal to Congress for redress." TEXAS TO FRAME LAWS FOR BETTER HOMES Dallas Citizens Begin Movement To Regulate Construction and Equipment of Houses Dallas, Tex.-Legislation to regulate the construction and equipment of houses, with a view to improving housing conditions in Texas, will be placed before the session of the State Legislature that will convene the second Monday in January, 1917. There is strong demand for legislation of this kind, and already a bill is being framed by men in Dallas who have been interested in better housing conditions for years. The bill as drafted would apply only to cities and towns of 5,000 population or more. The essential provisions of the bill are that it shall be unlawful to erect a house for dwelling purposes without providing adequate sewerage connections; that no house for such purposes shall be built within less than five feet of the street; that all houses shall face either on an open court or a street to permit of plenty of sunshine, and that only one house for dwelling purposes shall be built on a single 50-foot front lot. The bill also provides for methods of lighting, VIRGINIA FARMERS PROSPEROUS Judge Gassell Reports That Colored Farmers Have Bumper Crops. Ronokne, Va.—Upon his return from an inspection trip through Halifax, Dinwiddie, Surry and Southampton Counties, Judge G. E. Cassell, publicity agent of the Norfolk and Western Railway, reports that the farmers in those counties are prosperous. "This is especially true of the colored farmers," said Judge Cassell, "who is doing much in the way of development of the agricultural interests of the southside," and he told of one colored farmer of Halifax county, who has three large houses filled with the finest kind of tobacco. He said also that there is hardly any Negro farmer who has not a big tobacco crop, which is now selling at top-notch prices. Miss Cora. Campbell has returned to the city after spending several days in Washington, D. C. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA. DECEMBER 9, 1916 WILL PAY$70,000 IN XMAS CHECKS THAT Sum Is To Be Distributed Next Week, Beginning On Wednesday, The 13th, By Brown's Savings and Banking Co. Seventy Thousand Dollars is the amount of money that will be paid out next week, by Brown's Savings and Banking Company of this city, to members of its Christmas Savings Club. Seventy thousand dollars ($70,000.00) of the money that the group thousand odd colored men, women and children have deposited on their Christmas-cards during the year. This is the third year that the bank has operated the Xmas savings club. The first year it paid out $18,000.00. Last year people had become more familiar with the popular plan of saving money—5 cents, 10 cents and a quarter at a time—and the first year's record was more than thredd, $60,000.00 being the sum accumulated and distributed in December. This year the plan was even more successful, exceeding last year's accumulations by $10,000.00. Seventy thousand dollars is a lot of money, but that is what this one colored bank will distribute to Non-colored people next week. There are many colored banks in the United States, most of them in the South, but if any one of them has made a better record than Brown's in teaching and encouraging the habit of saving and thrift among the people there is no record of it. In fact, few white banks have been more successful, or have made a better, showing in this respect than Brown's. The system used at Brown's Bank was perfected by Mr. William M. Rich, the cashier. That it is a good system, in fact among the best, is attested by the fact that it has been adopted by one of the leading white banks. The bank will open its 1917 club on the same day it begins to pay off the 1916 savings. There are three classes, the 5 cents increasing class, which pays $58.00 and interest; the 50 cents class, which pays $25.00 and interest and the $1.00 class, which pays $50.00 and interest. On account of the earlier opening of the classes this year, those who wish to enroll are requested to apply early as the classes will be limited as the classes will be limited to moderate all who wish to join the club. The checks used for the distribution of this fund are gotten up in holiday colors of red and green, with a Christmas emblem adoring one corner. They were designed and printed by the Guide Publishing Company. NEW BUILDINGS FOR STATE COLLEGE Three Structures, To Cost $150,000 To Be Erected At Orangeburg. Columbia, S. C.—The State Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes at Orangeburg will erect in February, March and April three buildings, one to contain rooms and an auditorium, the other two being dormitories. The structures equipped will cost about $150,000. R. S. Wilkinson is president of the college. A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR CHRISTMAS SAVERS Hundreds May Put Their Savings To Good Use By Investing In Homes. Next week The Brown Savings and Banking Company of Queen Street will issue checks from its Christmas Savings Department to the tune of seventy thousand or more dollars. This money has been put into the bank during the year by colored men, women and children who have learned the habit of thrift. A like amount will be paid to colored savers from other savings and banking institutions of the city. Many of the savers have definitely decided as to how they are going to invest their money. Many of them no doubt have already decided that they will invest in real estate, or make the payment on a home. A better decision could not be made, for a real estate investment considered in financial circles as the safest and most profitable. No one could have a higher aim in view than to own a good home and no time should be lost in securing a home. Property values in Norfolk and surrounding territory are souring swyard and now is the most advantageous time to buy when good selections can be made, and, on easy terms. We dare say that not in the very far distant future property values in and near Norfolk will be as fur out of distance of the colored man's purse as they are now in New York. We call the attention of those of our readers who are Christmas savers to the splendid opportunity offered them by the Villa Park Corporation to purchase homes in Villa Park, a most desirable section—the only water front property offered for sale to colored people with all city improvements, including sewerage electric lights and paved streets, John Christie and his check will give you a start. See their announcement on page eight. HAMPTON CLAIMS CHAMPIONSHIP ENDED SEASON ON THANKS- GIVING DAY BY DEFEATING HOWARD UNIVERSITY—UNION ELEVEN DOWNNED STRONG LIN- COLN TEAM—V. N. & I. I. HELD SHAW SCORELESS. The college football season ended Thanksgiving day with the big eleven of the South Atlantic States lined up for their final game against their most formidable opponents. Great interest centered in all the games, but the Howard-Hampton affair drew a larger crowd and perhaps more interest than any on account of the struggle between these teams for the championship. In one of the best games of the year Hampton came out victorious over the Washingtonians by a score of 12 to 3. The scores of the leading Thanksgiving game for teams: Hampton 12; Howard 3. V. N. & I. I. 12; Shaw University 0 Union University 13; Lincoln University 0. St Paul N. & I. 74; West High, Norfolk. Hampton Harvester Mowed Down Collegians. For two consecutive years the famous Howard University football squad has gone down to defeat at the hands of Hampton's machine. Howard has not sent a man over the Hampton goal with the pigskin since 1914. The defeat that was administered to Howard on "Turkey Day" gives Hampton the claim to the championship title of the 1916. Wilkerson; Umpire —H. E. Howell; Timekeeper —H. Douglass; Time of minutes.*Touchdowns—Dorney and Rigney; Field goal—Pendyharey. Union Defeated Lincoln. One of the surprises of the big Turkey Day games was the ease with which Union University, of Richmond, defeated the Lincoln University eleven. The Pennsylvanians have always been one of the strongest contenders among the colored college eleven. On the machine, has developed a strong machine and promises next year to be a strong contender for the championship. V. N. & I. I. Beats Shaw. The Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute eleven proved to be too strong for the once powerful Shaw University machine and the Carolinians went down to defeat by a score of 12 to 0. This result was no surprise, however to the V. N. & I. I. admirers as that team during the week previous held the Howard University eleven to a 7-7 tie. By defeating Shaw V. N. & I. I. finished their season without a defeat. The line-up in the Howard-V. N. & I. I. game was as follows: Howard Position V. N. & I. I. Ross L. E. Nichols Bailor L. T. S. Brown Simms L. G.

Andersons Referee, Brown (Union); Umpire, Vaughn (Hampton); Linesman, Howell (Union). W. Va. Institute Also Held Howard To Tic. Howard encountered a strong opponent this year in West Virginia College Institute. The recent game between the two eleven results in a 7-7 tie. The West Virginia team has developed several stars, among them Captain Hughes, of whom the Charleston Post (white) said after the game with Howard: "He is small and strong, as powerful as a bullet and shows more real individual foothall class than has ever been shown by any collegian, be white or black, on the local grid-iron." A. & T. Defecated Livingstone College of Salisbury, N. C. Ine one of the hardest fought games of the season A. and T. College of Greensboro, N. C., showed her superiority in football over her ancient rivals to the tune of 17 to 0. It was a hard struggle from start to finish. Both teams played hard but clean ball. The first half ended with the score 0 to 0. It was in the third quarter when Lesueur, A. & T.'s plucky quarterback booted a beautiful field goal from the 23-yard line making the first score the game's few moments before Benshaw, A. & T.'s carried the ball to Livingstone's 23-yard line, and on the next play Lesueur carried the ball over for the first touchdown followed by kicking the goal after the touchdown. Jackson kicked to Livingstone's one-yard line and in an attempted forward pass, he A West Virginia Institute Star ran up and caught the ball from Livingstone's halfback's arms and ran 30 yards for a tesch凋. Leéuür kicked goal. The game ended with the ball. Livingstone's possession on their 35-yard line. Those who did steller work for A. & T. were: Capt. Whiting, Lesucur, Beasley, Jackson and O'Neil. Those who did steller work for Livingstone were: Platt, Jetter and Anderson. Substitutes: A. & T.—Jenkins for Lesueur; Livingstone—Turner for Davis, Davis for Jetter. Touchdowns: A. & T.—Lesueur, Jackson. Goal after touchdown, Lesueur 2. Goal from field, Lesueur. Referee, Bullock. Umpire, Greene, Linesman, Smith. Periods, 15 minutes. St. Paul Crushes West High. The Norfolk West High School eleven, which has had a pretty good season, overwhelmed by the heavier and more experienced eleven of St. Paul's N. & I Institute at Lawrenceville, Va. on Thanksgiving day. The light West eleven have to depend upon speed to make their gains, and in this respect they play a strong offensive game, but on Turkey day they went up against a much heavier team and played on a wet gridiron. As a result their fast backs could not get away for their speed plays and they were always on the defensive with the heavier team pushing them over the goal line. The score was 74 to 0. St. Paul has one of the best teams in the State. $52,00 FOR LOUISVILLE MISSIONS Presbyterians Raise That Sum For Work Among City Colored People. Louisville, Ky.-Members of the Presbyterian churches in Louisville have completed a canvass for funds to enlarge the scope of the work of the Missions for Negroes in Louisville, which netted $52,052, $7050 more than had been fixed as the necessary amount. There are three missions in Louisville devoted to the advancement of the Negro and while the work is done under the supervision of the Presbyterian Church, it operates principally of teaching Negroes trides and professions.

If the fire bell should ring would you run and stop it or go and help to put out the fire? It is much the same way with a cough. A cough is a danger signal as much as a fire bell. You should no more try to suppress it than to stop a fire bell when it is ringing, but should cure the disease that causes the coughing. This can nearly always be done by taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many have used it with the most beneficial results. It is especially valuable for the persistent cough that so often follows a bad cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind., writes: "During the winter my husband takes cold easily and coughs and coughs. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best medicine for breaking up these attacks and you cannot get him to take any other." Obtainable everywhere.

MENZEL PIANO CO. 440 GRANBY STREET, NEAR CHARLOTTE "The Best Place to Buy Your Piano" EDUCATORS HOLD GREAT MEETING EDUCATORS HOLD GREAT MEETING By N. BARNETT DODSON. When the gavel sounded, closing the conference on education at the National Training school, Durham, N. C., on Friday evening, Nov. 24, after it was in session for four days. It was evident that the educators had accomplished their purpose. Twenty states were represented at the conference. The commission appointed at the conclusion of the meeting consists of Dr. W. E. R. DuBois, New York; W. S. Scarborough, president of the Willerforce (O.) university; J. W. E. Bowen, Atlanta; W. J. Hale, president of the State Normal college at Nashville; J. R. Readdilla, president of the Lincoln university, in Pennsylvania; J. A. Colton, Henderson, and Dr. A. M. Moore, Durham, N. C. Dr. J. A. Cotton, principal of the Henderson Normal and Industrial institute, who presided at the opening session, in presenting President Shepard, who outlined the plan and scope of the conference, referring to the growth and development of the National Training school, said, "Six years ago when the people awoke one morning and found a new school they predicted a Jonah's gourd growth for the institution, but it has survived all the storms that have come to it." Dr. Shepard announced that in the general scope of the work would be included consideration of duplication in the schools, whether wasteful, unwise and hurtful, and what plans ought to be fostered to correct the evils; the extent of teacher training and its encouragement and how and where located; what system should be devised to meet the needs of rural teachers; what should be the standard of the university, the college, the normal school, teacher training and secondary schools; how students should be received from one by another; to what extent religious training should be carried on in Kelly's Hair Dressing Parlor and Beauty Room [1367 O'Keele St., Norfolk, Va.

Out of the many fine ideas that were promulgated at this meeting it will be possible for the seven members of the commission to put down in definite and understandable form just what is the both method to adopt toward helping Negro education. Northern philanthropists are gradually learning that all mountaineers of the south are not illiterate backwoodsmen who have never seen a train or heard of an automobile, much less learned any of the fine things of life. And they are also beginning to understand that perhaps the south understands the Negro and is willing to do her part, says one report of the conference. Wealthy people of the north who have wanted to help a struggling race have been imposed on by so many fakers that they are beginning to feel that it is unwise to make contributions to any and every kind of institution in the south. That feeling is gradually being repressed by the sys female campaigns of men of Dr. James E. Shepard's type. The commission, which is the result of the conference, will help to lay before the people philanthropically inclined the real need of the Negro Institutions, and the indorsement of an institution by this commission or some other that will follow will be guarantee of the worth of the institutions and the cause. Masons to Meet In Philadelphia, Dec. 11 The annual meeting of the grand lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania will be held in the Masonic temple on Eleventh street, Philadelphia, beginning on Monday, Dec. 11.

Crawford's Plan For Training Young Christian Soldiers. Nashville, Tex. — "Teaching boys military discipline under religious influence is one of the mighty forces and factors that is helping us to build substantially for the future in our religious life." declared General W. H. Crawford of Austin, Tex., at the meeting of the Sunday school congress at Vicksburg last June. General Crawford was making his annual address before the Sunday school congress forces on the boy problem. General Crawford, in company with Lieutenant General Harry Lott, will spend a month in Nashville prior to the meeting of the twelfth annual session of the congress in 1917 instructing the local companies that are to be recruited, each to its full strength, one in each church, which are to constitute a mammoth boy cadet encampment that is already planned to be carried on at Greenwood Park, which is located on one of the city street railway lines. It is understood from the secretary of the congress that arrangements have already been made whereby Lieutenant General Lott will precede General Crawford and get the camps in readiness to begin the disciplining of twenty-five boy cadet companies that are being mustered in in Tennessee's metropolis. There is to be an average of twenty-four boys in each company. A conservative estimate places the figures at 600 boys at least. This is to be augmented by quite a few companies from Texas, Louisiana and Georgia. It will be, if present indications count for anything, the largest national encampment of the boy cadets ever held in the United States. GROWS AND STRAIGHTENS HAIR.

"At this writing it seems as if we are doomed to another four years of Woodrow Wilson and his type of Democracy. It is a bitter pill to swallow, for we do not know what will become of the Negro race in America under Wilson's regime. We have had to endure so much during his first four years, and we know that, triumphant and endorsed by the propagandist element of his party, he will give us four-fold to bear. The race is in peril, the greatest peril it has been in since the Civil war."—Champion Magazine. We do not share the apprehension of the writer of the above paragraph, and we live in the South, in the zone where one would suppose the terror of a Wilson regime would be at its "terrrible." A president of the United States is clothed with much authority, but we do not believe that even the wide latitude of his power vests him with the authority to blast the hopes and aspirations of so large and so vigorous a group of his fellow-countrymen as the Negroes constitute, even if he desired to do so. It will be remembered that Cleveland was the first Democratic president elected after the Civil War. There was almost a panic among colored people following his election, due to their fear at a Democratic administration do to the race. Some shut it mouset a return to chattel slavery. But nothing very serious happened to the race during Cleveland's administration. The colored people will have to take their medicine from Mr. Wilson and his administration, and we should be able to take whatever comes without losing, our courage or patriotism. No wrong or injustice in any form that Mr. Wilson or his administration may inflict upon the race will be permanent. We don't think that Wilson can do anything worse than he has done to the race, and having stood four years of his jim-crow government and having made considerable material progress in spite of it we think that we will be able to survive the four years ahead of us without suffering any material losses. We think that the race is losing entirely too much sleep over Mr. Wilson and his administration. --- LOCKING THE STABLE DOOR. Senator Boise Penrose of Pennsylvania, has introduced an amendment to the corrupt practices bill which is before Congress, providing for the control and supervision of all elections by the federal government. The amendment is designed to prevent the violation of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution. Senator Penrose's resolution is a fair demonstration of the brainless leadership that has characterized the Republican party during the past twelve years. The time to secure such legislation was when they had a Republican Congress and a Republican President. It looks like poor judgment to let that opportunity pass and then bring the matter up in a Democratic Congress. The Republicans put the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution. They stood upinely by and saw the Democrats nullify them. They acquiesced in the operation of the "grandfather" clause, which a Democratic chief justice of the supreme court finally said was unconstitutional. Their last President, Mr. William Howard Taft—of painful memory—even put his official approval upon disfranchisement by announcing in his inaugural address that he would not make any Negro appointments to office in the South, or in any place where such appointments would offend the Democrats. Under such vacillating leadership the Republicans naturally lost their power. Now that the Republicans are out they, are beginning to realize the cause of their political death. Therefore the belated efforts of Senator Penrose to lock the stable after the horse is stolen. CAPE CHARLES CAPE CHARLES (W. P. Jefferson). Mr. John G.

This being the second fair he has had in the last 3 years. Thanksgiving-Day was observed by all the churches in Asheville, and most all of them served dinner to their old members.

The ushers were chosen from the female members under the direction of Mrs. Jennie Smallwood. They were beautifully gowned and wore their regalia, which designated the auxiliary to which they belong.

Booker as State Worker," Rev. G. H. Sims, D. D.; "Rev. Booker as Prencher," Rev. A. C. Matthews, B. D.; "Rev. Booker as Friend and Citizen," Rev. J. E. Robinson, B. D. A brief response was made by Rev. Mr. Booker. The Rev. Henry Arthur Booker, son of William and Julia Booker, was born in Amelia county, Va., about three miles from Amelia Court House, in 1875. As a boy he attended the schools in the county, but when he was still very young his mother died, leaving him with three brothers and one sister, to make their way in the world as best they could with the help of a good father. Shortly after the death of his mother his father went to Richmond, Va., secured work and sent for his children. Here young Booker worked with his father and then in other places till 1888, when his father died. He then went north, going first to Stanford, Conn., where he remained for about a year, and then to Brooklyn, where he was converted in the Bethany Baptist church, baptized and became an active worker. It was soon evident that he was called to the ministry, and, feeling the need of preparation, he consulted his pastor, Rev. R. I. Galinez, who advised him to take a course of study. Before his conversion Rev. Mr. Booker had determined to take up the study of law and for that purpose had been attending evening school. But now, upon the advice of his pastor, he engaged to take a course under Professor Scott of the faculty of Kisket's college, Brooklyn. For nearly three years he studied under Professor Scott, when he was advised by Dr. W. T. Dixon and others to take charge of the Ebenzer. Philistine church, Babylon, N. Y. He began with that church as pastor the first Sunday in July, 1854, having been licensed to preach in the previous August. Here he remained, attending the Babylon high school till he graduated, and then took up higher studies under Rev. Drs. Raymond and Pimm, the object being to follow the same course as given at Colgate unit parish. He studied thus till June 1900, when he was called to the jastorate of the Messiah Baptist church, Yonkers, N. Y., where he labored with great success till November, 1900, when, having accepted the call, he took charge of St. Paul's Baptist church. He is a constant student, a hard worker and a faithful pastor. The church which he now pastores he found, on going to it, to be in debt to the extent of $18,500. By 1908 this debt had been cut down to $12,000. The church was remodeled in 1910, making it almost twice as large, with light and splendid ventilation. This remodeling was done at a cost of nearly $4,000. All other expenses of the church have been met, and the membership is now about three times what it was when Rev. Mr. Booker became its pastor. The church is twenty-three years old and has had four pastors in all. Rev. Mr. Booker has succeeded in organizing the church into good working shape, and there is a brighter outlook for it in the future than it has ever had before. The Rev. Booker was united in marriage to Miss Luth J. Floyd Feb. 27, 1895. They are the parents of three children—one son, who is a student for the ministry, and two daughters, both of whom are students in high school and faithful workers in the church. RACE LITERATURE WEEK. Novel Plan to Acquaint Our People With Their Own Authors. The national buy a book campaign in the interest of Negro literature had its inception in the fertile brain of R. R. Wright, Ph. D., editor of the Christian Recorder and manager of the A. M. E. Church Book Concern, Philadelphia. Dr. Wright's plan is to endeavor to have every family of colored people purchase at least one book during the month of December. He has particularly suggested the second week in December as Negro literature week. In giving his reasons for such a movement Dr. Wright says: Negro children need to read books which tell of the more hopeful side of their race life, and that Negro men and women need the same is no longer open to debate. No people that does not know and love its own history, enjoy its own literature, reverence its own heroes, has ever amounted to much. Can the Negro hope to be an exception? The fact that the public schools do not give our children courses in Negro history and literature is being recognized by educators throughout our nation as a weak point in Negro education. To be strong the Negro child must know and love the heroes of the Negro race from Crispus Attacks to the gallant Teenth cavalry at Carrival. He must know the past achievements of the race in Africa and America. He must imbibe the ideals which the music and poetry of the race are designed to insure. He must see the pictures of men and women of like hue as himself, so that, acting upon the maxim that what black man has done black man can do, he may be nerved to greater accomplishments. Every home should have its collection of Negro books of poetry, fiction, history and religion—not one book, but many, in order that it may have its proper atmosphere of racial self respect, which is the foundation of racial progress. But, also, we have so few homes with Negro books. Not one Negro in a thousand has read a book on Negro history. The 990 are ignorant of their glorious past; ignorant of the part played by their ancestors in Africa and America; ignorant of their prowess; ignorant of their opportunities. The only mention most children of the race read of their race in history is that they were brought to this country as slaves in 1619 and freed by Abraham Lincoln in 1833. Not one in a thousand ever heard of a Negro olding. In the exploration of America many years before 1619 and of the 1860,000 of their kind who fought to save this nation fifty years ago. And there is greater ignorance on the part of the younger generation than of the one now passing. The Book Concern is nearly 100 years old, and we therefore think it our duty to carry the light of literature to our brighted people. We therefore are asking that every public instructor make a public appeal in behalf of Negro literature. We suggest the month of December as the time and the second week in December particularly a "Negro literature week." During this week we should like every Negro to purchase a book written by a Negro author or about Negroes. During this week let the ministers talk Negro literature from their pupils; let the teachers talk it to their pupils; let every literary society have a "Negro literature night." We suggest Friday night, Dec. 15, at which time we desire to have every school and church of any size have some one speak of Negro literature. $10.00 IN GOLD.

SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson XI.—Fourth Quarter, For Dec. 10, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Rev. ii, 1-17—Memory Verse, 7—Golden Text, Rev. ii, 10. Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Although three of the seven epistles are included in this lesson, we must try to consider somewhat the whole seven, for they are the last messages from the risen and ascended Saviour to His church on earth, perhaps some sixty years, as we count time, after He ascended, and contain His heart messages concerning that which He approves or disapproves. These seven churches represented all the churches of that time and now and between then and now, and as individual believers we must lay to heart the lessons, the warnings, admonitions and encouragements for our personal use in our daily life. I have found it helpful, and many others also, to write down these love letters in seven parallel, vertical columns on a large sheet of paper, placing opposite to each, horizontally, like matter in each epistle, beginning each column with the greeting to the church; then His titles, which are different in each; at the foot of each column the promise to the overcomer, which is also different in each, and then the admonition, "He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches," which in the first three comes before the overcoming promise and in the last four follows it. The words of comfort and encouragement and warning and admonition come in between these first two and last two items. Let us pray to know Him more intimately as He reveals Himself to each church according to their need. He holdeth the messengers to each church in His right hand and walks in the midst of the churches (chapters 1. 13. 20; ii. 1). This helps me personally, for I am glad to be in His hand and for His pleasure, and I am always reminding my own people and the Bible classes that He is in our midst, according to Matt. xvii. 20, and we must sing and pray and meditate and worship with an offering, as if we really saw Him in our midst. To Smyrna He was the first and last, who was dead, but now alive (chapters l. 17, 18; l. 1). This was what they specially needed, for they were being persecuted unto death (l. 10), and their overcoming promise was that the second death, which is the lake of fire, would never touch them (l. 11; xx. 14). To Pergamos He was the one who had the sharp sword with two edges (l. 10; l. 12), and because of evil teachers tolerated, there this was as they needed to know Him. He encouraged the Ephesians to think of the tree of life in paradise, and He would have these to eat real manna now, true bread from heaven, and think of the hidden manna, the white stone, and the new name reserved for them (l. 7, 17). To Thyatias He was the Son of God, with eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet like fine brass (1, 14, 15; ii, 11). They, too, had false teachers, and much of the world, and knew something of the depths of Satan, but their encouragement to be overcomers was most wonderful and unthinkable if He had not said it—power over the nations, such as the Father had given Him, and Himself as the morning star (1, 20-28; Ps. ii, 8, 9; clix, 60; Rev. xxii, 16). What glorious things to win us wholly to Himself during this little while of temptation! To Sardis He was the one who had the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars (1, 4, 16; ill, 1), for they had dend ones there who had only a name to live and needed the quickening of the Spirit. Their promise was that of white raiment, named in the book of life and confessed before God and the angels if they should prove themselves overcomers (ill, 5). To Philadelphia He was the Holy and True One, having the key of David, opening, and shutting at pleasure, and the encouragement to overcome was that of being a pillar in the temple of God, with the name of God, and the city of God, the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, and His own new name (lil, 7, 1). There is a special promise here concerning being kept from the hour of temptation which shall try all that dwell on the earth (lil, 10), which may include our being taken away before the great tribulation. That we shall be taken before that awful time is sure. To Laodicea He was the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God, and to this worst phase of church life, or lack of life, the promise to the overcomer was the greatest of all, to sit with Him in His throne (III, 14, 21). It looks as if the greater the need and the lower their condition the greater was His desire to lift them out of it. Only in this epistle do we find Him asking for an open door to our hearts that He may enter in and sup with us (III, 20). He and the devil are both looking for open doors (John xill, 2, 27). Whom will you have? Notice in the Golden Text that there is no mention of eternal life which cannot in any way be worked for, or earned, or bought, but can only be obtained as a free gift (Rom. vl, 23). But the crown of life there mentioned is a special reward for all saved ones who patiently endure. See also Jas. 1, 12. These are the only two places. NEWS OF THE CITY CHURCHES Although forced to hold the services for the past four Sundays down stairs in the Sunday School room this church has noticed no diminishing in interest on the part of its members and friends. The crowds are increasing at each service and the collections are even better than they have been for some time. Collection last Sunday $159.86. There are additions to the membership almost every Sunday and the church seems to be in a state of transition. The common children seem to be catching on fire to become filled with the Spirit so as to live better lives and do better work for the Master. Last Sunday night marked the beginning of a series of services under the auspices of the Women's Missionary Society. Some of the best preachers in this section have been doing the preaching and representatives of all the leading social service agencies in the city have been bringing greetings and lending the cheer and encouragement of their presence. Do not fail to be present at the closing mass meeting this Sunday afternoon three o'clock. A splendid program has been prepared and you will enjoy yourself to the full. Much credit is due Mrs. Gordon and her corps of workers for the great work they are doing among the women of the church and city. There was present also last Sunday night the National Marine Cooks, Stewards, Head and Side Waiters Association, Inc., composed of the men in the service of the Old Dominion Lines. With their banner and badges and their goodly numbers, they certainly presented an imposing spectacle. The sermon preached especially in their honor was upon the last voyage of the Apostle Paul. All expressed themselves as highly pleased with the hearty welcome accorded them and the timely advice given through the Gospel message. Given their anxious about the great doctrines of the Bible and especially the doctrines of Sanctification and the Holy Spirit are urged to be present at the regular services of the church. It is wonderful to see how the folks enjoy their religion here. Tears, shouting, testimony, praying and singing, all in the Spirit, you will witness them here. St. John's A. M. E. Church. Sunday School, 9:30 a. m. Annual Dime, 10 cents expected from the piggy bank.

Zion Church filled the pulpit at Metropolitan Sunday morning. Dr. Garham preached an excellent sermon. At night Rev. Mr. Blair, preached, Rev. Blair's discourse was indeed helpful and instructive. Reports coming from the Virginia Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church which convened at St. Thomas Church, Berkley Ward, last week, state that the Virginia Conference has witnessed a most prosperous year. Rev. N. D. King, our pastor, who has labored so well during the past Conference year with us, has been returned for another year to the delight of friends as well as members of the church.

The Negro Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina Maintained and Controlled by The Governments of North Carolina and of the United States For MALES ONLY. Fall Term Begins September 1st, 1916 Short Winter Courses for Farmers' Sons FOR CATALOGUE OR FURTHER INFORMATION, ADDRESS James B. Dudley, President, Greensboro, North Carolina Thirty-Second Anniversary of Queen Street Baptist Church. The thirty-second Anniversary of the Queen Street Baptist Church of which the Rev. F. W. Williams, B. D., is pastor, will take place Sunday, December 10, and continue for one week, ending Monday, December 18. The event will also mark the twelfth anniversary of the pastor, who has served assiduously in that capacity and made a splendid record in the city Christian Minister and social worker. Rev. Williams is loved and respected, not only by the members of his church but by a great mass of people throughout the city whom have been reached and helped through his tireless efforts in behalf of humanity. The services will begin Sunday with a sermon by Rev. F. C. Campbell and an address, "Our Pastor" by Mrs. Alice Brinkley. Music will be rendered by the mixed choir of the church. A special service will be held each night of the week except Saturday, when various ministers of the Tidewater section will preach able services. Every organization of the city will be held. One of the services, members of the church and other churches of the city will have a free hand in the meetings and the occasion is expected to be the most brilliant of its kind held in the annals of the history of the church. The A. M. E. Zion Conference. The Virginia Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church, met in St. Thomas Church, Berkley, of which Rev. M. F. Gregory is pastor, and held a five days' session last week. The conference was well attended by ministers, including bishops and gates, with Bishop G. L. Bliskwell of Philadelphia, presiding. Bishop Blackwell had not been so well known in this section as other Bishops who has visited here more frequently, but his trip down here to hold the Virginia Conference as presiding officer, served to better acquaint him, and to clearly demonstrate that he is a master of the gavel and his connoisseur. He is an impressive and inspiring character. To witness the deliberations of the Conference under his generalship was a rare treat. The A. M. E. Ministers' Conference. The proceedings of the A. M. E. Ministers' Conference on last Tuesday were about as usual. They had two lady visitors, one of them, Mrs. G. W. Buffalo, an evangelist in the A. M. E. connection. Rev. G. W. Nichols read a paper upon the civil and immoral effect of a sectarian Confession in the day-moving picture shows which was interestingly discussed by the following ministers: Dr. E. H. Hunter, Dr. D. J. Lee, Dr. S. M. Morris, Revs. Jas. S. Hatcher, J. J. Mainor and Rev. Mrs. G. W. Buffalo. News of the death of Dr. A. J. Nottingham of Frank Town reached the Conference during the session. The death of Rev. W. H. Thomas was also reported. The Confession affaced engagements for the funeral the Conference adjourned out of respect to the deceased member, Rev. W. H. Thomas. Rally at New Mill Creek. A "State Rally" was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, New Mill Creek, Va.

With Our County Teachers. Out at the Nansemond Collegiate Institute, last Friday, December the ist, many of the members of the Coun- ty Teachers Association held theit first meeting of this session. The As- tociation was, very Inrgely instru mental in having the schools opened a month earlier this year. For which it received an open expression of thanks, “How the Teacher, Pupil an¢ Parent may Co-operate,” was the sub. ject of very helpful discussion, After routine business, the Association ad journed to meet Friday before th first Sunday in February, 1917. Prof HM, Henderson is We very abl president, and Mrs. Mamie E. Estes i: ms very efficient seeretary. The Riasite Cate It was his pleasure, Saturday, to get among some of his’ old subscribers, just to see if they had any money. to spare. Down on Mahan strect, was his first stop. “May I speak with you, Miss Kelley?” asked he. “Of course,” said she. And here she comes, dusk cap and all. He readily saw that from what had been preceding the broom, that she is a ood housekeeper. After discussing the weather man’s favors of the nice day, he noticed her inquir- ing expressions. My business? thought he. “Well, | just’ dropped around ‘to Iet_you know that your subscription to the Journal and Ghide has not quite expired,” said he. “I know it,” snid she. And then the conversation re- turned to the weather conditions in Germany. Miss Kelley is a very in- dustrious young lady. This is easily told by the way she makes the dust, and the reporter, fly on a busy Satur- day. Nice day, and then he leaves for the next stop at the Rev. Dr. Har- rell’s very cosy home. “Met at the door by Mrs. Harrell, he was soon ushered upstairs into ‘Dr. |Harrell's office and study. And here he was, seated in a grent big arm chair, surrounded by the best books, anda typewriter. He was busy get- ting out one of his best sermons with which to put in order some of his most prominent sinners the next day. He was not too busy to tell the visiting reporter a few things. He hnd just bought a new home, in which he now lives; the many things for which he had cause to ‘be thankful, including that new suit of clothes given him Thanksgiving; that he had been_ the most succussful_ pastor of the First Baptist Church fur the last six years, and then handed us his renewal for the Journal and Guide—the object of our visit. Mrs. ‘Iarrell was most pleasant and cordial, and shared with her successful husband in the very elaborate entertainment of the 26 porter. From here, a brief stop_was made at the home of Mrs. Bettie Bar. vey, in Ghureh street. Many things of old times were talk. ed about. Her renewal not being dus until the 15th, the reporter thought i best to call again at about that par- ticular time. Mrs. Pugh was called on for a few minutes. ‘The, reporter, promised ta call this week for her subscription. He stopped in to plance at ‘tha archial palatial mansion of Dr. anc ‘rs. W. T. Fuller, in Pine strect. It is nearing completion, and Mrs. Fulles is expecting to move in soou—some- time next summer. The Dr. will Jive in and out.

Junior Mendelssohn Cief Club Celebrates Fourth Anniversary grates Fourth Anniversary. On Thanksgiving Day the Junior Mendelssohn Clerf Club met at the residence of the Misses Daisy and Geraldine DeLoatch, in Cumberland street. The occasion being, the fourth anniversary of our organization. The spacious double parlors were beautifully decorated with crysanthemums, the queen flower of the season. The preparation for our entertainment was so unique, until we could not decide which we most enjoyed, the sumptous feast, the beautiful flowers or their fragrance. It was unanimously agreed that, in the language of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, "we had one scrumptious time." An interesting feature of the business side of our meeting was the election. Our teacher, Mr. C. Harry Carter, decided that we had reached the voting age, he having selected our officers since our organization. Little did he know of our knowledge of conducting an election till the business was turned over into our hands. Everything was conducted so orderly, that our last National election would appear very small. Those conducting the election were the following: Misses Mabel Z. Perry, Lendora Dauley, Gladys Turner; Masters Claude Ferebee, Russell Wilkins. After the ballots were counted, the following received a majority vote, and were declared elected: President, Miss Estelle Young; Vice-President, Mr. Willie Mercer; Secretary, Miss Florida Robinson; Treasurer, Miss Margaret Lawrence; Pianist, Miss Gladys Warren; Sergeant, Mr. Willie Robinson; Reporter, Ye Scribe. Those present were: misses Estelle Young, Florida Robinson, Eva Tucker, Hortense Tucker, Gladys Warren, Florence Byrd, Catharine Brown, Christabel Buck, Pearl Caison, Ruth Morris, Lillian Hill, Georgiana Hill, Daisy DeLoatch, Louise Logan, Annie Collins, Geraldine DeLoatch, Lendora Dawley, Mable Merry, Bannie Plummer, Susie Foreman, Margarette Moseley, Elenor Barret, Dothera Ferebee, Bessie Harris, Dorothy Owens, Helen L.

Telephone 4572 LET'S GO TO THE MOVIES This suggestion is being heard more and more in Norfolk every day, and, no wonder, for motion pictures are among the most entertaining and instructive amusements in the world. The mountains of Alaska, the dainty gardens of Japan and the war in Europe are all presented on the motion picture screen. Comedy and tragedy, pathos and laughter, hate and love—the motion picture knows them all. The facts of the every-day world, and the imaginative creations of the world of fiction are set before you adily through the all-seeing eye of the motion picture camera. It is small wonder then, that "Let's go to the movies" is heard so frequently in Norfolk. The Journal and Guide readers are great "movie fans." For their convenience the leading motion picture theatres of the city publish their announcements each week on this page. A consultation of their announcements in this paper will keep the "movie fans" correctly informed and enable them to see the best features which are being produced. AT THE PALACE The Palace Theatre is keeping up its policy of giving its patrons the best there is in the production of motion. The admission price at the Palace is always ten cents its pictures are DeLuxe. There is nothing better: The palace does not feature cheap pictures, but gives the public the best. The Metro, Fox and Triangle as well as Mutual Masterpictures are standard productions of the highest grade. The serial features now running at the Palace and announced in its program on this page are selected from the best producers and are great box-office attractions. As a star feature at the Palace for Saturday of this week Triangle presents the Phantom featuring Frank Keenan one of the leading stars in filmdom; aside from "The Lass of a Lumberman" starring Helen Holmes there will be a Keystone Comedy entitled "Poor Papa," featuring DeWolf Hopper and other features. Although the program is not announced for Monday the Palace promises some very strong offerings including a two-reel Keystone comedy and five-reel Triangle feature. "The Man Who Will Not Die" the Mutual headliner at the Palace Tuesday featuring William Russell is a five-reel production of powerful and exciting scenes. William Russell who is a leading Mutual star, and well known for the part he played in "The Diamond From the Sky" is supported in this feature by a cast of unusual ability. Their work is flawless and the feature is superbly screened. "The Shielding Shadow" drew a big audience Tuesday and all who saw the feature were more than pleased with it. The next episode will be screened on the same day of next week. Mary Miles Minter will be starred in an attractive feature Wednesday, entitled "Lovely Mary." It is a Metro feature and entrancingly interesting. "The Clutching Hand" and "Phantamos" on Thursdays are serving the Palace patrons with all of the amusement and charm that usually come from features of that kind and they are always immensely enjoyed. In "The Battle of Honrts" a Fox feature for Friday the Palace "fans" has a story of deep human interest and a fascinating reel production. "The Power of the Cross" is a five-reel Triangle religious feature for this day that treats in a powerful manner its subject and is more appealing than a sermon could be.
