NO.34 TENTS MAKE A BIG INCREASE 1203 NEW MEMBERS ADDED AND 179 DEATH CLAIMS PAID DURING YEAR Organization Has Paid In Death Claims $200,674.06—Order In Prus- perous Condition Under Leadership of R. W. N. G. Superintendent And Endowment Secretary, Mrs. Sallie L. Bonney. The 43rd Annual Convention of the Southern District Grand Tent No.1 of the United Order of Tents of the J. R. G. & J. U., met in Fayetteville, N. C., May 22 to 25th, inclusive. There was a splendid gathering of delegates and visitors. From the opening of the session until its close, the Convention was aglore with a spirit of good cheer and interest. The reports from the various subordinate Tents showing a marvelous increase in membership, and the stretching onward into new territory caused much enthusiasm. Many of the subordinate Tents were on the Honor Roll because of the new members having been added since the last convention. The Order is in a prosperous condition under the efficient leadership of Mrs. Sallie L. Bonney, R. W. N. G. Superintendent and Endowment Secretary. The following is an extract of the report rendered at the Annual Meeting just closed: Report of the R. W. N. G. Supt. and Endowment Secretary. W. G. Senior Matron, Officers and Members of the Southern District Grand Tent No. 1 of J. R. Giddings and Jolliffe Union: Dear Sisters: Write in its swift passage now marks the closing of our fiscal year, and brings us together, in another annual session. And though we meet under peculiar and unusual conditions, yet it with a glud heart we extend to you our happy greetings in this your forty-Third Annual Session. As we assemble today, and look back over the year now closing, we realize that it has indeed been a year of peculiar interest and significance. A year that has caused us many anxieties, and much misgivings. One that has caused us to often bow at the footstool of mercy and ask the "Great Captain of the Host" to take the cause in His hands and fight the battle and give to us the victory, and we can still do no less than that, for well do we know that He holds the destiny of individuals and of nations in His hands, and true victory must come from Him. Our country has been brought face to face with a great crisis, has met the issue, and we now stand with anxious, prayerful expectant hearts waiting the result. We have passed through a winter of most unusual severity, which coupled with the extraordinary high cost of every necessity of life has undoubtedly brought suffering to many. We as an organization, have been brought face to face with a most abnormal death rate; certainly the highest we have ever known in the entire history of this department. Our obligations have been so heavy because of this abnormal death rate that we have sometimes felt bowed down in heart, and greatly troubled in mind, but we thank God that He has not left us, and we can take the words of the immortal Wesley and make them the true expressions of our own heart when he says: "But out of all the Lord. "But out of all the Lord, Hath brought us by His love, And still He doth His help afford, And hides our life above." And so, our beloved Order has moved steadily onward during the year now closing, without one insurmountable barrier or object to hinder its progress. And in spite of the crucial times through which we are passing we meet today in our Forty-Third Session under peculiarly happy conditions, and it is with a heart overfishing with gratitude to God and in doing in our desire that we greet you in this your Forty-Third Session of Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen, as being the year which marks the fiftieth mile stone in the establishment of our Order in this the Southland. And whilst it is a fact that the Southern District Grand Tent has only reached its Forty-Third year, yet the first Subordinate Tent, namely Eydia's Tent No. 1, was established in the City of Norfolk, November 27th, 1867, which makes this the fiftieth year of our existence in the South. The anniversary day coming as it does in November, we can ory rejoice today in the fact of this year being the fiftieth year; but when we shall have reached the exact time of this momentous occasion, we should as grateful people, pay some tribute showing our high appreciation of same. Living as we now are in this most critical period, it is impossible to plan as to what form, that tribute shall take. We do not know that we will be able to celebrate it in proper manner by a "Golden Jubilee" but we fully realize the fact that the occasion is worthy of the grandest tribute that pay. We earnestly hope that the Southern Society will all co-operate, and join in paying tribute of die honor in whatever form may be most suitable. And certainly The Journal and Guide the heart of every Tent woman should go up to God in thanksgiving, that He hath so mercifully dealt with us. Fifty years ago, when that little Band of Women launched out as a Fraternal Society, how little did they dream of what the future held for them. But because their foundation was right and true, because their chief corner stone was God's Eternal Word, it has been even like the "tree planted by the river of water," and today we can safely say, with no fear of contradiction, that we stand second to none in the entire Fraternal World. We meet our obligations regularly, punctually, and entirely. And today there is not one unpaid claim on our office that has been in over five days. Our financial rating is "First Class." We stand with assets to our assets of nearly forty thousand dollars, and whilst we rejoice in these facts, yet we know that to God belongs the Glory, and to Him the praise shall be. We look upon you today, coming as you do from the various parts of the South; representing as you do nearly two hundred and fifty Subordinate tives of nearly seven thousand women, and believing as we do that seven-eighths or more of that number are true, loyal, earnest women, who stand ready to do what they can in the interest of, and for the upbuilding of the United Order of Tents, our heart goes out to you in love and gratitude, and our prayer to God is, that He may keep you staunch and true. We believe that some of you have kept alive within your breasts a spark of the fire of inspiration which was kindled last year in our Forty-Second Session at Hampton, Va. And we note with much pleasure the splendid activities displayed by you in building up your tents, and we pray that you may keep this fire burning and that others may catch the same spirit, and determine to build up the waste places and cause work in their land to flourish grow. We are anxious to have our dear Old Order widen its borders, and bring many others within its confines, but I tell you now as I have often told you before, you are to accept no woman within your ranks who has no moral worth. From the beginning of this Order to the present time, one of most important tenets has been morality, and my desire is as strong today to uphold and support this grand principle as was that of the sainted founders. Now my sisters, I do not feel that I could close these remarks without giving a due meed of praise to the Noble Women of North Carolina. Many of you have been tried and were not found wanting. Some of you have been brought to choose betwixt right and wrong, and you were broad enough to choose the right and turn from the wrong. And whether the wrong was in those from your State or from my State did not influence you, but your idea was stand by the right and refuse the wrong, and for such womanly moral courage we commend you, and trust that others in North Carolina may have the same courage, and act in accordance herewith. Again referring to our approaching Fifteenth Anniversary, whilst we have no actual recommendation to bring you, yet we do endorse the "every-member-campaign." If every active member of the Order would pledge herself to make as her contribution to this great event the bringing in of one new member into the Order, what a magnificent growth our Order would have, with what little expense to each member thus contributing. We look today upon the assembled host, and we give thankful praise to God for His mercy. It is true we miss some of the loyal, noble women who joined with us last year in our annual meeting, and naturally a sigh of regret escapes us, but well do we know that they are forever released from the toils and burdens of this life and are now safe at "Home" with the Father. And though they loved us well whilst with us, yet they would not now return, but will await our coming, and help welcome us "over there." When we pause for a moment, and think of the great multitude of Tent women "over there;" and when we recall the promise made us by our beloved and sainted mother in her last meeting with us, Nineteen Hundred and Eight, when she said she would be down at the "River," and wait to welcome her children as they cross the "Silent River" and land on the Beautiful Shore, we sometimes feel the yearning to shake off the cares and burdens of this life and join that Heavenly Throng, but we know that when our work on earth is ended and our race is run, we too, shall cross the mystic tide and enter our Mansion which was prepared for us from the foundation of the world. Now my sisters, let me adjourn you to stand fast in the faith of our Fathers. Let nothing swerve you therefrom. Then be faithful and true to your womanhood. Loyal to our beloved Order; steadfast and true to this, the land of our birth, and when the eternal balance sheet is reckoned up we shall not be found wanting, but shall receive a happy admission to our Father's Home above. I now give you a brief summary of the work of the year, and a minute financial report of the Endowment Department. With much pleasure we present to you 8 new Tents brought under our covering during the year, and 5 Tents re-connected. Louis Braxton Memorial Tent No. 239, Washington, D.

Kenbridge, Va.—Anxious that the colored citizens of Kenbridge and of Lunenburg county should show no "shackers" on army registration day, a largely attended mass meeting was held at the Baptist church here Monday night, when addresses were made to the people of the town and county on the significance and importance of registration in accordance with the conscription laws enacted by Congress. The speakers were Rev. Gregory, pastor of the (white) Methodist church; Rev. Young, of the (white) Episcopal church; Dr. Mahn (white), and Mr. P. B. Young, editor of the Norfolk Journal and Guide.

Hampton, Va.-Hampton Institute has just sent forth 94 vocationally trained graduates to carry the message of "education for service" to colored, Indian and white* people throughout the nation. Principal H. B. Frussell, in presenting the diplomas and certificates, said: "We give you these diplomas as a very slight evidence of the confidence that we have that, in the days to come, you will be true to Hampton, true to your country, to your God." He also referred to the school's recent memorial service at the grave of General Armstrong, where all had consecrated themselves anew to the service of their country. Mr. Issue Fisher, University editor of Fisk University at Nashville, Tennessee, delivered a stirring address on "The Rebirth of the World after the War." St. Paul N. & I. School—Graduates Number 38.

Splendid addresses were made by Hon. A. L. Brooks, president of the North Carolina State Bar Association, and Dr. John A. Nash of the State Normal College at Greensboro. The drama, "The Land of Opportunity," written and staged by Mrs. S. B. Dudley, was the literary sensation of the commencement. Hon. J. Y. Joyner, State Superintendent of Education, delivered a stirring and inspiring address, and Prof. M. C. S. Noble, president of the Trustee Board, conferred the awards and degrees upon a large, class of graduates, as well as distributing many prizes. REAL ESTATE FIRM MAKES CHANGE IN NAME C. Brooks & Company Absorbs E. C. Brown, Inc. MR. J. C. BROOKS One June 1st the real estate firm of E. C. Brown, Inc., became "J. C. Brooks & Company." In connection with the change the company has issued a statement of which the following is a part: "It may be well to mention that for a number of years the management and conduct of E. C. Brown, Inc, has been under the personal supervision of Mr. Brooks; and in changing the name of the firm, there will be no material change in the management." Mr. Brooks has made rapid strides in the real estate field and is regarded as one of Norfolk's most progressive business men.

The offices of the company will remain at the corner of Bute and Smith Streets. REV. F. W. WILLIAMS, D. D. Among the students of Virginia Union University who were honored with the Degree of Doctor of Divinity was the Rev. F. W. Williams, B. D., pastor of the Queen St. Baptist Church, Norfolk. For twelve years Rev. Williams has been the honored and esteemed pastor of the above named church, which church ranks among the best in the State in religious activities. Under the leadership of its pastor they built a splendid edifice seven years ago at a cost of $31,000, and since has paid off the entire debt to $5,000. The seating capacity of this church is taxed at nearly every service. And at night many are turned away. Its seating capacity numbers 900 persons, and often at least a hundred chairs are placed in the aisles. Rev. Williams has taken an active part in the uplift and rescue work of his people in this city. This membership has grown in the past twelve years from one hundred to nine hundred and fifty. Rev. Williams has purchased a beautiful home on C Avenue in Huntersville, and on last Tuesday night, his membership gave him a house-warming at which time they furnished the home and made the pastor and his wife happy. Rev. Williams ranks among the leading preachers of the State. Virginia Union University is proud of her son. So much so that she calls him home to do him honor. Long live this man of God in our midst. Dean Teacher's College, Howard University, who will Lecture at St. John's, A.M.E. Church, Friday Evening the 15, on the New Science of Matrimony.

Diabolical Lynching and Burning of Negro the Cause—Head of Mob's Victim Thrown In Group of Colored Medical Men. The National Medical Association, one of the most representative of Afro-American organizations, will not hold their annual convention in Memphis, Tenn., this year, although elaborate and extensive arrangements had been made to do so. The recent burning and mutilating of a Negro, fleeing from Mississippi, by a mob of some 10,000 frenzied white persons, accompanied by incidental outrages and insults, led the authorities having in charge the arrangements for the meeting to call it off. In a telegram dated at Orange, N. J., May 30, addressed to Dr. D. W. Byrd, of Norfolk, president of the national organization; Dr. W. G. Alexander says: "On account of recent outrage in Memphis, meeting has been cancelled. Am making arrangements for Philadelphia, Washington or Baltimore." Dr. R. G. Martin, Secretary of the Bluff City Medical Society, at Memphis, writing to Dr. Byrd under date of May 25th, says: "By this date you no doubt have received a letter from the president of the Bluff City Medical Society, setting forth conditions here in our city, which justifies your executive in calling off the meeting of the National Medical Association. We feel that it would not be fair to have you come to our city and not able to give you the protection guaranteed you as American citizens. This no doubt will handle the next meeting of the National Medical Association. My advice would be to you and the Executive Committee to select another city for the meeting, assuring you that we will do all we can to make this meeting a success." In his letter to Dr. Byrd, dated at Memphis, May 28th, Dr. A. N. Kite trets say, in substance, that after the meeting of the Bluff City Medical Society, following the immediate adjournment of the Tri-State and Volunteer Associations, in the midst of the most successful meeting in the life of the Association, with 150 delegates enrolled and delegates coming in by every train, after lynching and murdering a member of the race, not satisfied with that, parts of the anatomy of the victim, including the decapitated head, were brought within a block of the Masonic Temple, where Association was holding its sessions, by members of the mob, and thrown by them into a gathering of some of our delegates. The two associations at one adopted resolutions calling off the National meeting at Memphis and adressing local association to notify the proper national officers to that effect, and resent them to wire the Mayor of Memphis and Business Men's Club the facts in the case, which determined them not to hold the annual meeting in Memphis; and especially as no efforts had been made on the part of the legal authorities to apprehend the miscreants. THOUSANDS ENROLLED ON REGISTRATION DAY Over Four Thousand Colored Men In Norfolk Showed Their Desire To Serve Country. Just what would happen among colored men in the event of a general call for volunteers to defend the country against a foreign foe was demonstrated here Tuesday, when thousands of colored men between 21 and 31 years of age, stood in line at the different registration booths in the city and enrolled their names among those available for war service. It was estimated that about 4,200 colored men were enrolled in this city. The apparent anxiety of the cloaked citizens to serve their country was the subject of much comment throughout the city. If there are any "slackers" among Norfolk's colored population they are evidently not numbered among those within the registration age limits. FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAUGHTER ELKS The Daughter Elks, the female department of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, will celebrate their fifteenth anniversary Sunday, June 10th, at 3 o'clock p. m., with exercises at Queen Street Baptist Church.

R. and about six hundred school children dressed in white mid- die suits. A company of boys carried a massive blanket of flowers which was later placed upon the grave of their former chicfton, Prof. Israel Chas. Norcom, this silent tribute at- testing the fact that though he sleeps his memory still is green. Floral tributes were also placed upon the grave of Miss Serena A. Moseley. ‘The program was very impressive. Dr. W. B. Anderson, presided. Dr. E. H. Hunter delivered the prin- cipal address in which he extolled the deeds of the old soldiers and plead for a continued loyalty and patriotism for the American flag. ‘The singing of the patriotic choir was an enjoyable feature. After taps were sounded the mount- Jed section of the parade was driven to the Lincoln Cemetery, where the |G. A. R, carried on appropriate exer- cises around the monument. | The Daughters of the G. A. R. re- ceived much praise for the splendid | granite curbing which they had placed around the monument at a cost of $150.00. The School Children Honor The Mem- ory of Their Dead. Most of the children brought flowers which were arranged on a blanket and made into boquets. On the morning of the 30th the chil- dren assembled at their respective schools, formed a line of march headed by those bearing a large American flag, and others bearing a blanket of flowers. They marcled through Chest- nut Street to High, thence to Effing- ham, joining the Grand Army Veter: ans in their march to the cemetery. There they held memorial services at the graves of Prof. I. C.

Saturday, June 9, 1917 THE CHRISTIAN HOME. Very few persons know why they are Christians. Asked to give a reason for "the Faith that is in them," and they tell you bluntly, after staring at you in amazement, "Why, I've been born again." That is not a reason; it is a statement, which does not mean the same thing spoken by any two persons. It is in the same class with that other answer, "I know that my sins have been forgiven and that I have been born again." Asked what their sins were, or what sin really is, or how it was possible for them to be born again, and they have as much confusion in the explanation as they have when the wise men undertake to explain the meaning of the statement that "it is as hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven as it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle." How can he do that literally? The thing is meant, like the answers the Christians usually give in explanation of their Faith, figuratively, that is, Spiritually, and few have the power of the Spirit to understand what they "spell" of the Word, or "read" of the Word. So, an ignorant person has to make the sign of the cross, and have witnesses that he made it, while an intelligent person writes his signature, and does not need any witnesses that he did so sign, because his signature is known by the bank officials and others of the place in which he resides and is called upon in various ways and times to write it. A person in any community who cannot sign his signature is ignorant, indeed, and is much to be pitied, because he has in so many ways to rely upon persons who can do it for him, and who frequently grossly deceive and rob him. We shall understand after awhile many of the obscure things of statement in the Scriptures which we have to accept now on Faith. And no better explanation of the word "Faith" has been given than that by Plutarch, as the most binding obligation a Roman could subscribe to. And that is far from being "the evidence of things unseen," and which are mostly confusing on that account. We need not only to be able to spell and read but to understand the Word, which may contain one letter or fourteen, and mean one thing or fourteen. The main thing is to get out of it all that it means. How many Christians have tried to do that? Very few. They accept the word as they do the letter and reading of them just as they appear to them, with no more and no less of meaning as commonly understood and accepted. We are advised to do more than that, but few have found the commandment to do so in the word they read over and over. Why? But one thing stands out by itself as the primary fact in Christian philosophy; that is the sanctification of the home and the home life as the first thing to be desired and secured and held fast by every Christian person, as opposed to the polygamous conditions which prevailed in the time of Moses and Jesus in Asia and Africa, and the abuse of womanhood and childhood as it prevailed at the same times in Europe and the islands of the seas. It is nowhere so stated, but all of the underlying teachings of Jesus, Peter and Paul indicate the fact of home life as the first and abiding fact in the Christian philosophy. Sub-consciously the principle has been worked out to a definitive absolutism in the law and public opinion of the Christian Nations, which have dominated the world and the affairs of it for nineteen hundred and seventeen years. It is the one tangible thing in Christology that has progressively increased in strength and power, so that it is accepted and protected by both State and Church, and imposed by them as law and sanctification upon each male and female who enters into the marriage obligation, "covenant," as the Scriptures term it, the impairing of which being made so difficult that divorces are few and far between as compared with the couples who stick to it and maintain the home life intact. And why not? Is not the home, the man and his wife, the male and his female, the chief cornerstone, not only of the Christian Church but of the Christian Nation? What would either be without the home life to build a high and noble manhood and womanhood upon? Nothing. It is to the credit of our parents who came out of the condition of slavery, in which respect for the marriage relation was denied them, that they made haste to be properly married by an officer of the Freedman's Bureau, and then to begin to build homes and churches. They set their children of all of the coming generations a noble and inspiring example, from which too many in these days are falling away. It is because of all of this, and more, that we have been writing the series of articles on social abuses. We must protect the home from the immoral social tendencies and social hyenas we have been describing, and shall continue to describe as dangers that threaten the well-being and the moral life of the race, ROCKY MOUNT, N. C. (By O. R. Pope). Rocky Mount, N. C.—That no labor trouble exists in Rocky Mount is evidenced by the fact that the four large brick structures now in course of erection all of the brick work is being or was done by Negro masons.

Porter, of Porter's Cafe, has returned from New York City, where he was called to the bedside of his very sick brother, Mr. H. T. Gatling. He left him very sick, but hopes for his early recovery. Mr. Charles Colden, student at the Hampton Institute, is at home spending his vacation with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Luther Colden, in E. Washington Street. Mr. J. P. Coles, now of Newport News, was in the city Sunday and Monday. He is very much impressed with the selective draft idea. He registered before returning to his place of business. Prof. J. W. Wilson, who is now working with Dr. J. P. Jordan, spent Sunday at Savage's Crossing. He was the host of his son, Dr. J. N. Wilson, of Fall River, Mass., Friday and Saturday last. Mrs. Luther Colden very elaborately entertained as her guest of honor, her pastor, Dr. Galvin, of Danville, Va., at her palatial home in East Washington Street, Thursday evening. The guests present were: Rev. James A. Harrell, pastor of the First Baptist Church, and Rev. P. L. Boone, pastor of the Pine St. Baptist Church, and others. If anyone in the county failed to know how to register last Tuesday, it was not the fault of County Clerk Bunting, Sheriff Wagner, Mr. W. H. Crocker and Dr. Jordan. They made a thorough canvass of the county. Miss Ethel Riddick and Miss Beatrice Slade of Portsmouth spent the week-end with Mrs. Martha Troy, in Tynes Street. Mrs. Mattie Perry and Mrs. Johnson of Richmond, Va., were the guests of Mrs. J. C. White, at her home on E. Washington Street, last Sunday. Mr. Wayman Bell of Norfolk, Va., spent last Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Willis on Tynes Street. Mrs. Martha Troy of Suffolk, spent Memorial Day with friends in Portsmouth. Inadvertantly the reporter failed to kindly mention the interesting concert given at the Pine Street Baptist Church by the Portsmouth Female Quartet last week. He was left to believe that it was sent in by another. He very humbly begs pardon, and promises that if that quartet ever comes this way again he will be present and give it the fullest write-up. Huntersville, Va. It was my very great pleasure in canvassing the county in the interest of the registering of our young men last week, to visit that most interesting hamlet known as Huntersville, in the northeast corner of the county—20 miles from the city and 9 miles from Portsmouth. There are some interesting physiological and psychological features of this beautiful village that will very readily attract the attention of most any stranger. There are but few, if any, back streets. About all of the 600, or more, of the population live on the Main street—the county road that passes through the village. I noticed that the cosy homes were above the average in sanitary conditions. One thing struck me most forcibly—of the 600 Negro population, only one Negro is doing any mercantile business—Mrs. Sarah F. Orton, who runs a very good restaurant and grocery store. This is where all our teachers, who go from here, board. She is an ideal hostess, and an up-to-date business woman. That is, she is heavily endowed with practical common-sense—she reads The Journal and Guide. The village is full of Masons, Odd Fellows, Samaritans and other secret organizations. About every family is heavily insured in white companies. Why they have not taken up the N. C. Mutual and Provident Association is just because it has just been introduced among them. Among the leaders are Mr. W. Hinton and Prof. S. L. Carter. After a talk with them, I feel safe in saying that Huntersville is on the verge of a village revolution for the very best. J. F. JORDAN.

FRANKLIN The entire family of Mr. William McGone is spending the week out of the city. Mr. E. A. Boykins is spending a few days in the city. Mr. W. R. Thomas is visiting friends and relatives in Norfolk and Portsmouth. The Commencement exercises at the Normal School last week were well attended. The graduates numbered six. They were Misses Clara Johnson, Etta Hines, Mary T. Holland, Nell Johnson and Oscar Paraham. Lawyer Newsome was Commencement Day orator. Dr. F. W. Harris spoke for the Alumni Association. Superintendent G. L. H. Johnson gave an excellent address to the class. A number of visitors were in the city last week, among them Mr. and Mrs. Frank Barnes of Norfolk. Mrs. Mitte Wilson, who left last week for the hospital in Suffolk, is reported to be quite ill. Rev. W. J. Hines, who has been confined to his bed for a week or more is out again. Mr. J. W. Morrissey, who has been somewhat indisposed, spent a few days at Adams Grove to witness the closing. The drill given by the larger girls of the town school was a success. Mrs. Dr. Harris and Miss Ada Urquhart are making plans to raise $100.00 for the prospective graded school, which will be started in a few days. Miss Lella Hunter has returned from her school to spend a few weeks with her mother, after having taught for the past seven months. Sunday was a busy day at Cool Spring Baptist Church. The rally was on all day. The crowning feature took place at night, when, after the twenty clubs had made their reports, the pastor, Rev. S. W. Thus read the list. Largest amount raised was $33.05 by Miss Ada T. Urquhart, who has taught here for five years and is very popular. The crown was presented to her by the pastor. Miss Hattie Whitfield was secretary of the club. Mrs. Nettle White was second highest, with $62.42. The total amount raised was $682. One of Brooklyn's underinkers, Mr. Johnson, and daughter, are guests of itoy, and Mrs. S. W. Thus. Miss Deloitte of Margreetsville, N. C. spent last week with her sister, Mrs. Cora Parker. Mrs. Lydia Britton who has been in Philadelphia for the past eight months, has returned home. Religious News Continued from page 2 THE GRAND RALLY at Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church resulted in raising one thousand, six hundred and forty dollars. The Church was enabled to pay interest and one thousand dollars on principal. The members and friends stood by us nobly. We desire to thank all who helped us in any way, individual Lodges, etc. The church is in fairly good condition spiritually. The public is cordially invited to all services, seats free. Special services on Sunday, next. CHRISTIANSBURG SUMMER SCHOOL In order that teachers may have full opportunity for registration and examination for classes the Christiansburg Industrial Institute Summer School will open, Monday, June 18th. Classes open officially on the 20th but in order that the whole time may be used to the best advantage the management has decided that it would be well to give the two days for examination and class assignment so that the whole period might be devoted for study and recitation. No extra charge will be made for board for the two extra days, therefore, teachers are strongly advised to take advantage of them. As facilities at Christiansburg are Limited it will be well to get your application in early. Write to E. A. Long, Conductor, Cambria, Virginia. PRESIDENT GALVIN ON THE FIELD Danville, Va., June 4th.

Plume St. ure, last week, to represent the interests of our Jubilee meeting in Suffolk and Franklin. Monday night in the midst of a continuous storm, we preached to an audience of forty or more persons. On such a night, a very few churches would have even been open, but Dr. J. E. Harroll is pastor of that zion and like priest like people, for the Dr. is a man of perseverance. Tuesday night we faced a splendid audience in the Pine Street Baptist Church, pastored by that much believed disciple, the Rev. P. L. Boone. And Wednesday night found the writer in the Fair Ground Baptist Church, whose pastor is another Boone—Rev. Anderson Boone, who had, unavoidably, been called away, but had appointed and arranged for us. And we had a large and attentive audience to whom we plead for the interests of our work. Tuesday afternoon, it was a pleasure to be made order the day at the Ministers' Conference, where again we talked to the brethren about that meeting on the hill. While in Suffolk we were the guests of the Harrolls, Boones and Coldens and Mrs. Eliza Golden until recently was a member of the Loyal Street Church of Danville, over which the writer presides. Wednesday night, in the very fine residence of Mr. and Mrs. Colden, we were tendered a lovely reception, by the ministers and friends, which was attended by some of Suffolk's best citizens and truly amid the enjoyment of the pleasant and palatable viands of the season, there was a "feast of reason and flow of soul" until the city clock announced the presence of the middle of the night. Thursday morning the iron geared horse brought us over the Seaboard, to Franklin, where Dr. S. W. Timms, the able, pastor of Cool Spring Baptist Church, met us with his own five-seated "Ford" and with a dash and a speed soon had us by his magnificent manse, where all his pleasant. In the afternoon after having a fine dinner at the island,Bool of Madam High Prices are here and Higher Prices are coming. It is a perplexing problem to get money enough at present to buy for yourself and family the necessary provisions and comforts of life. Wages are good but the cost of living is growing out of proportion, and, there is every indication that higher prices are coming.

Law Haydun, we went on a fishing and fish frying party of a dozen or more seventeen miles in North Carolina as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Butler, where several pleasant hours were enjoyed. Wednesday night we told the Jubilee story to members and friends of Cool Spring Baptist Church, where we were heard with apparent interest and attention. All of these pastors and people are on the firing line for our Jubilee meeting and I think they may be expected to make reports that will be a credit to all concerned. I am glad to say the pastors mentioned are doing well in their fields of labor. Friday night we were the guests of Deacon T. W. Watkins of the High Street Baptist Church, Milton, where we were booked to preach but got rained out completely. Brethren, the Jubilee occasion is calculated to draw out of us the best that is in us. Let us do our best, our very best. Yours for a great Jubilee meeting. WHITE ROCK A. M. E. Z. CHURCH, BRUNSWICK COUNTY. Rev, C. L.

Hundreds of people from all sections of Virginia assembled at Gravel Hill Baptist Church, Surry County, Va., on Sunday last, to pay the his tribute of respect to this fallen hero, who for 40 years had been one of the ablest divines in this state. He has pastored a church in Philadelphia, the First Baptist Church at Cape Charles, the Gravel Hill Baptist Church, Surry County, Va., and the Clark Memorial Baptist Church at Clarmont, of which he was pastor at the time of his death. A number of representatives from the different churches, which he had pastored, were present at the funeral. His widow was told to rest by the Mt. Herman lodge no. 50, A. F. of A. M., of which he had been a member for the past 25 years. Rev. B. J. Richardson of Waverly, Va., delivered the funeral oration, and in glowing terms portrayed the life and character of this great worker and faithful leader. All who know of his life's work, know that his highest ambition was to do his duty well. Mr. George W. Peace, of Waverly, Va., funeral director and embalmer, had charge of the body.

Miss House show- ed‘much improvement in her singing and was encored after rendering “The Blues.” “No, That's AU,” by Bert, ts ‘ola but proved to be “a real scream,” as it was sung as only he can sing it. Their act was very good. Miss Annie St. Clair's singing of “I ‘Am Happy when by My Mother's Side,” came next. This charming: young Indy always makes a hit and as usnal was loudly applauded, She has a peculiarly seductive volce that cap- tivates by the range and tone of tt. A few gingery words added give her singing “the proper pepper." “Phe Kind of Man [ Want," and “You Can't | Go Bye-Bye To-night," were both ren- dered in tine style.
