FIVE HUNDED MEN STRIKE IN ROCKY MOUNT; THREE HUNDRED WOMEN ASK LIVING WAGE IN NORFOLK RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES AT THE AGRICULTURAL & TECH. COLLEGE NEGRO BAPTISTS NUMBER 3000000 Thirty-Seventh Session of Unincorporated Body Held DR.JONES REELECTED PRES. Convention Ratified Recent Purchase Of Theological Seminary At Nashville, Tenn. Atlanta, Georgia.—Historians will write in glowing terms of the success and the many accomplishments of the thirty-seventh session of the National Baptist Convention unincorporated which closed in this city last night. Rev. E. P. Jones, D. D., of Vicksburg was unanimously re-elected as president to lead the Baptist hosts whose membership is claimed as approximately three million. Much constructive work was done throughout the week. The delegation totalled more than two thousand. The secretary of the convention stated at the close of the session last night that the enrollment had totalled one thousand five hundred eighty-seven. Every state in the Union except Maine, New Hampshire and rollment. Throughout the week there Vermont was represented in the enwas one continual grind of the denominational mill on matters of vital importance, affecting the future of the Negro Baptists of the United States. The Convention went on record as taking high ground for denominational and racial uplift. Advance steps were made in education. Some of the interesting features of this session were the ratification of the purchase of the Theological Seminary site, located in Nashville, Tennessee, valued at one hundred thousand dollars, which was reported by the Educational Board; the moving of the headquarters of the Educational Board to Nashville and the re-establishment of the Foreign Mission Board headquarters at Louisville, Kentucky. The Convention voted unanimously to hold its 1918 session next September at Little Rock, Arkansas. Fifteen thousand dollars in cash and subscriptions were raised. The following are the officers of the Convention and the various Boards reported for the next convention year. E. P. Jones, Vicksburg, re-elected President; other officers, Robt. Mitchell, Kentucky, Vice President; W. T. Hall, Vice President, Philadelphia; W. A. Jones, Vice President, Ohio; C. P. Greensboro, N. C.—The general impression that state schools are indifferent to the importance of Christian training of their students could not be applied to the A. & T. College of Greensboro, N. C. Last Sunday when Prof. Nelson, the Superintendent, called for students, nine came forward and were admitted to the Sunday School. This Sunday School is probably one of the most and most influential in the state. It conducts a number of teacher's training classes, and is also the prime support of a city Sunday School Institute which, for the past two winters, has held regular sessions teaching Sunday School workers of every grade and giving much valuable information and inspiration to the Sunday School work. This Institute is supposed to be the only city Sunday School Institute in the world that is conducted by Negroes. From the A. & T. College have gone out influences that have established A Sunday School Union in Greensboro. This Union holds semi-monthly meeting of all the Negro Sunday Schools of the city. These meetings are very helpful in teaching the Sunday School workers the opportunities and scope of the modern standardized Sunday School. In addition to the Sunday School influences of the college there is a live, Madison, Secretary, Virginia; C. J. W. Boyd, Texas, C. T. Hume, Tennessee; Charles Lewis, Indiana, W. H.

C.—A National Race Congress of the United States will convene in its Second Annual Session at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church here October 3rd and 4th, 1917. Every phase of the race condition in this country will be discussed, including the East St. Louis, the Chester, Pa., riots and the Immigration of Colored People North. Twenty-one states were represented in the last Congress. The officers of the Congress are appealing to the race loving people in every state to see to it that they are represented in October. The Colored People seem to be aroused in this country as never before, and many of the prominent men of the race are expected to be present. The Churches, Ministers' Conferences, Fraternal Organizations, Business Organizations and all other organizations within the race that have to their object the uplift of the people have been requested to send a representative to this Congress. All race loving men and women have been invited. Rev. W. H. Jernagin of this (Continued on Pags Eight) active Y. M. C. C. A. that exercises a wholesome Christian influence upon the student body. The first meeting of the session was held the past Sunday morning under the leadership of student, S. A. Haley. The A. & T. Temperance Society also held its first regular meeting last Sunday. President Dudley delivered the first address upon the "Building of a Life." In this address he urged the importance of day dreams, building air castles, of forming a high and lofty ideal and, then, like Daniel of old in purposing in his heart, to live up to that ideal. In his preliminary remarks he explained that the object of the Society was to teach boys why prohibition and total abstinence are best for man physically and spiritually. Upon the call of Prof. F. D. Bluford, the chairman, twenty-six students came forward and signed the pledge to abstain from the use of alcoholic drinks, of tobacco an dof profane and obscene language. The A. & T. College is a school conducted only for male youths. Notwithstanding the fact that its greatest number of students are between the ages 21 and 30, that the draft system has levied heavily upon its student body, the college authorities are very much gratified because the enrollment is three more than it was to date last year. NORFOLK, VA., SATURDAY SEPT. 22. 1917. Railroad Did Not Include Them In Raise Ordered By Government WOMEN ASK FOR MORE PAY Tobacco Stemmers Declare They Are Not Receiving A Living Wage (By James A. Clark. Rocky Mount, N. C.—The colored laborers of the American Federation of Labor who have been working at the Atlantic Coast Line shops, but recently walked out, five hundred in a body, because the company gave 6½ percent increase of wages to everybody except the Negroes, are still insisting that the railroad company must consider them as entitled to the increase of wages ordered by the government to all railroad employees. They cannot understand why it is that the Swede, Pole, Jew, Italian and all save the Negro get the increase and the Negro must meet the advanced cost of living just like the others, give a harder day's work and yet must not be benefited by the increase of wages. It is only through such papers like the "Journal and Guide" that we can circulate the true facts in the case of (Continued on Pags Eight) SUBJECTED TO FALSE ARREST Young Woman Has Frightful Experience At Hands Of Norfolk Police. To satisfy the suspicion of W. H. Desferi, white, whose associations with the denizens of Cove and Avon streets had cost him $50, Miss Esther Brown, a highly respectable young woman who resides with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Brown at 764 B Avenue was subjected to a most frightful and humiliating experience at the hands of the Norfolk police last Saturday afternoon. Miss Brown was a passenger on a northbound Church street car, enroute home from down town where she had been shopping. When the car reached Church and Queen streets she was approached by a policeman and a strange white man who told her that she was under arrest. Frightened and horrified the young woman left the car with the officer, unaware of what she was being arrested for, as the officer had no warrant, and was taken to the Second Precinct Station, where she was confronted with a charge of robbing Desferi of $50. Miss Brown asked the officer in charge at the police station to allow her to call her father over the telephone and was refused. She gave her name and address and again plead with the officer to allow her to communicate with her parents, but the privilege was denied her. Realizing her situation the young woman became hysterical, the officer who arrested her adding to her terrified condition by requesting the officer in charge to "lock her up captain." She was locked in a dark cell, where she would have remained until Monday morning had not an acquaintance who witnessed the arrest interested himself in the case and arranged bail for the young woman, after she had spent a half hour or more in a cell. Case Of Mistaken Identity In police court Monday morning Desferi could not identify Miss Brown as the person whom he alleged took $50 off his person when he followed a colored woman late Friday afternoon to her room in one of the lanes leading off Cove Street. Besides Miss Brown established a complete alibi, having been at her home at the hour when the white man said he was robbed by a colored woman whose society he was cultivating. There being absolutely no evidence to connect Miss Brown THE CHURCH IN AMERICAN LIFE Religion And Patriotism Are Inseparable Declares Norfolk Pastor STRENGTH OF DEMOCRACY It "Counts For Nothing Unless It is Seasoned with Christ's Conception of Brotherhood." "The place of the Church in American Life," was the subject of a discourse at Jerusalem Baptist Church last Sunday by the pastor, Rev. Adolphus Hobbs. Those who heard the sermon pronounced it a masterly effort. The preacher said in part: "Religion and patriotism have ever gone hand in hand. The two are inseparable. The life and strength of every nation is at every point the product of religious forces acting upon it. To the patriot, the call to serve and suffer for his country has ever been recognized as the call of God. If you cancel the religion of Washington or Lincoln, you sap the spring from which their patriotism flowed. That which today sends forth to public and private life men whom the lust of office cannot buy, and the power of money cannot tempt, is the same dynamic driving power of religion which we call, moral and spiritual forces, the product of religious influences. LAST GRAND RALLY SUNDAY Will Close the Campaign For Benefit of French War Orphans All arrangements have been perfected for the grand rally to be held this Sunday afternoon at three o'clock in the Palace Theatre, closing the campaign that has been conducted here for the relief of French War orphans and widows. The meeting was originally scheduled for last Sunday afternoon but owing to the inclementy of the weather was deferred until this Sunday, September 23. Box seats on one side of the theatre will be given to drafted men, who are earnestly invited to be present en masse, while the box seats on the other side will be occupied by the local committeemen. Participants on the program will be seated on the stage. One hundred seats will be reserved until three-fifteen p. m. for all who have contributed one dollar or more in the ampaign. After that hour seats must be secured elsewhere in the theatre. Delegations are expected from Newport News, Hampton, Phoebus, Berkley, Portsmouth, Norfolk County and Suffolk. A number of organizations have been invited to attend in a body. Special sections will be held for them. Hon. J. Thomas Newsome of Newport News, the brilliant lawyer and orator of national repute, will be the chief speaker of the occasion. He is known as one of the most eloquent and forceful men in America. The mere fact that "Newsome" is to speak, is guarantee sufficient to pack the theater. Dr. T. Edwin Baird, city councilman from Washington ward; Hon. W. T. Bates City Manager of Portsmouth, and national Executive Secretary Charles S. Morris, Jr., will also deliver addresses. Attorney W. H. Land will preside and there will be splendid musical numbers in addition to other features. with the affair she was promptly acquitted by Police Justice Pitt. Miss Brown is a member of one of Norfolk's most respectable families. She was graduated last June from the Cheney Institute, at Cheney, Pa. Her treatment at the hands of the officers at the Second Precinct Station, where Captain Ford is in charge, was anything but complimentary to the police department or just to the young woman. PETERSBURG NORMAL EXPECTS A PROSPEROUS SESSION Because I love America, because I am a citizen of the republic because I believe with my whole heart that America has been called into being for the fulfillment of a God-given promise and purpose among the nations of the world, is why we believe we should dedicate our lives to our country's service. It is a religious act, it gains its inspiration and sustaining power because we feel that it is a God-given privilege and duty. We live our lives as citizens, pay our taxes, and cast our vote, when not hindered because we feel that in these patriotic services we are working for the strength of those moral and spiritual forces which make our country strong. As an expression of what we wish to say, let us read to you the concluding words of the 90th Psalm which begins thus, "Oh Lord thou hath been our dwelling place in all generations." It forms the very background of our inheritance, the strength of the God of our fathers; the faith in which they lived and died, and their work for their country. Then after elaborating upon this truth the Psalmist, looking out upon his present age with its demands and problems, breaks forth with the prayer contained in our text: "Let thy work appear unto thy servant and thy glory unto their children." It is a prayer that the present generation may be shown the work to be accomplished, and that they may do it so splendidly that the next generation may behold the glory of God in the midst of life. It is a prayer for vision and service. Those of us in whose hearts burn the desire to serve our fellowman and God need a clearer vision of our responsibilities and problems; then to be so inspired, that with joy we gird ourselves for the God-assigned task and serve. Not that fame and success may crown our heads, but that through our service, the coming generation may behold God's glory, and our country enter into its promise and fulfill the purpose for which it was called into being. When we use the term church and America we mean with reference to the church, organized Christianity. By the use of the word America we mean our country over which floats the stars and stripes. First then let us state the facts which set forth the relation of the church to America. That these facts might be drawn from unprejudiced minds, let us quote from the last census of federal bodies on religion. Here we are told that about forty percent of the population of the world is within organized Christianity. This forty percent constitutes the strength, foundation, and life of this and all lands. The foolish expression there is more good being done outside of the (Continued On Page 4) Petersburg, Va.—President John M. Gandy of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, reports that from all indications the coming session is to be one of the best within the school's history. During the vacation months an unusually large number of applications for entrance has been received, and a very large proportion of all new applicants will be credited with advance class standing. Among the features of the coming session will be the addition of three new teachers, in the persons of Miss Myra H. Colson, A. B. S. graduate of Fiske University; Miss Ruth B. Wood, an A. S. graduate of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, and Miss Eugenie A. Mundy, a graduate of Hampton Institute, who is to organize and direct a practice course in the domestic science department. During the summer months the school has completed two new cottages for married teachers, built a railroad siding to be used for the delivery of freight and coal, has grown a fine crop of corn, grass, and potatoes on the tract of land recently purchased, and canned a banner yield of vegetables from the school truck farm. At their last meeting the Board of Visitors committed themselves to the plan of erecting a thoroughly modern school building, the use of which will greatly increase the efficiency of the PRICE:_ FIVE CENTS THREE NORFOLK SEC'Y BOYD'S SPLENDID REPORT Remarkable Work of the National Baptist Publishing PLANT WORTH $500,000.00 Giving The Church a Distinctive Literature Edited and Printed By Negroes Atlanta, Georgia.—Baptists from practically every state in the entire union, listened bewildered and awestricken with surprise at the astounding success reported by the Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., secretary of the National Baptist Convention in session in this city. As secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board of the National Baptist Convention the Rev. R. H. Boyd made his twenty-first annual report, and as on former occasions completely captivated the messengers who gave him almost continual applause, as he recounted the obstacles that he had been compelled to surmount, in making he plant the pride of the entire race. Throughout the session he was referred to as the "Moses" of the Negro Baptists, as it is attributed to him that he has brought the Negro Baptists out erature until he began to publish a series of Sunday School Periodicals at Nashville. The plant as stated in the report of secretary R. H. Boyd, is valued at nearly one-half million dollars, and they are sending out annually over ten million copies of religious literature and denominational books. Nearly two hundred thousand dollars i the gross report of the receipts and expenses for the year. The report was in printed form and was distributed among the messengers. It deals with every phase of the publishing work and pays a glowing tribute to the so-called little R. F. D's or unknown Baptists, that have, according to Dr. Boyd's version, made the most rapid and the most wonderful progress of any denomination. We are striving to bring order out of chaos, lift our people out of ignorance and superstition and bring them out to the marvelous light of a new day, as exemplified and taught by the lowly Nazarene, declared Dr. Boyd before the convention as he concluded his report. When he referred to the National Baptist Publishing Board as having a (Continued on Page 8) ORMAL EXPECTS OSPEROUS SESSION institution's work. Next session opens Oct. 2nd for the new students and for conditioned students, and Oct. 4th for non-conditioned students. Prof. J. M. Avery, Assistant general manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association of Durham, N. C., was in the city several hours last Saturday. Mr. Avery was enroute home from northern points and Buckroe Beach where he had been spending several days. He said that the business of his company had greatly increased in spite of the war, and that he expected their total gross business this year to exceed that of last year by $100,000,00. The business of the company last year amounted to $500,-000. The business of the Norfolk district which is under-the supervision of Mr. C. R. Neely is keeping pace with the general growth of the company. The Langston Reading Circle held a very interesting opening meeting Monday night. The next meeting will be held at the home of Miss Blance Peeden every Tuesday evening at eight o'clock, until further notice. Miss Louise Archer, President, Miss Sallie Branch, secretary.

WISHES SHE WERE YOUNG. Saya She Hasn't Forgotten Training She Had In Nursing Many Years Age In England—Her Father Fought in the English Army With Wellington at Waterloo. Hoboken, N. J.—The seven sons of Mrs. W. J. Tisdall of this city were born in Dublin of Scotch-Irish parents, which may or may not explain why they are such a family of fighters. At any rate, whatever the reason, the last man of them is lined up in the allied cause. But that's not the only remarkable fact about this unusual family. They are all married and have families of from two to six children, but not one has claimed exemption. Every one of the seven was an electrical engineer. Mrs. Tisdall also has six daughters, two of whom are doing hospital work while their English husbands are at the front. The oldest son, John, forty, and Edward, twenty-seven, having both lived some years in Canada, were drafted in the Canadian force and have come through many months' service in France unsatisfied. Victor, twenty-six, left his home in Hoboken three months ago to join the gallant Canadian Scots, who will be in the midst of the fray before long. His THE MUSICIAN wife is studying nursing and hopes to be sent across with a Red Cross unit when her course is completed. Henry Tisdall, thirty-eight, has been in the British army five years and holds the rank of colonel. Trevor Hastings Tisdall, twenty-five, is a member of the engineer corps of the Eleventh regiment, New York, which has been in France two months. The two remaining sons—William, thirty, and Mark, thirty-four—both residents of Connecticut, were taken in the recent selective draft and have passed physical examinations. Both have families, but will not claim exemption. "It seems a pity I am too old to do anything for my country but knit," said Mrs. Tisdall, meanwhile busily clicking needles over a heavy gray sweater. "If I were only a bit younger I'd be right over there doing my part. I haven't forgotten the training I had in nursing many years ago in England. "There is nothing so remarkable about my family. We are all tighters and can't help it—it's in the blood. My father, Thomas Meturdly, fought in the English army with Wellington at Waterloo, when Napoleon came to such an ignoble end. My brother fell in the battle of Aden in Egypt in 1870. My husband was an officer in the British army until his death sixteen years ago." GIRLS HELP IN HARVEST. Not Afraid of Field Mice and Lay Aside Fancy Work. Michigan Valley, Kan.—Farmer girls are not afraid of field mice, snakes and big spiders. They can pitch wheat and oats too. Such are the claims of Osage county concerning its women who have enlisted in active service in the desperate wheat drive which is in full swing. Frequent showers make every hour's delay dangerous to the wheat not stacked, so farmers have no time to help each other. All extra harvest hands have gone to the larger wheat fields of western Kansas, and the women are meeting the emergency. Even college girls are shelving fancy work and society to bring first aid to the harvester. Matches Coin With Wife; Enlistes. Fresno, Cal.-W. S. Desmond, a carpenter, of Huntington Lake, Fresno county, is above the selective draft age limit, but he wanted to join the army. He told his wife. She objected. He offered to match pennies with her. She agreed. He suggested beads, stay at home; tails, go to the front. They matched, and tails won. Desmond enlisted in the field artillery here. "My wife's a good sport," he told the recruiting officer. The Negro Organization Society and the Virginia State Teacher's Association will hold their annual meetings at Portsmouth, Va., December 5th 6th and 7th. The meeting of these two organizations simultaneously in the same city is expected to prove to be an important step in the co-operation of the educational efforts of the Negroes of Virginia. The idea has several merits. It means a material saving in time and money to those who areustomed to attend both meetings; persons who have desired to attend both meeings but who have found the expense incident thereto too great and so duplicating of portions of the programs carried out at the meetings of the two organizations will be avoided; a great gathering of educational and social workers will be effected. It will be noted that the date of meeting of the State Teachers' Association is three months earlier than heretofore. This give opportunity for practical use during the school term of the great fund of inspiration and enthusiasm, and information which the teachers who attend the annual meeting invariably acquire. The date of meeting of the Negro Organization Society is a month later than usual in order to avoid having the session come too early in the year. It will be remembered that the turning over of the work of School Improvement Leagues to the Negro Organization Society was one of the official acts of the State Teachers' Association at its meeting last March. All reports on the work of these Leagues should hereafter be made to the Negro Organization Society and the membership fee of two dollars per year for each local League should be paid to that Society. The opportunity for both teachers and representative of the Leagues to be present when the reports are made will be recognized as another advantage of the joint meetings planned. The impression has gained headway in some centers that effort is being made to merge the two organizations referred to in this article into one. Nothing is further from the minds of the officials of the two bodies. The objects and work of the State Teachers' Association and of the Negro Organization Society are essentially different and there is every reason for the separate existence of the two organizations. At the forthcoming meetings in Portsmouth the time will be divided. The two organizations will not be holding important meetings at the same hour and there will, therefore, be no competition for public patronage. The first session will begin at ten o'clock A. M. Wednesday, December 5th, and the final session at eight o'clock P. M. on the 7th. Every Negro teacher in Virginia is urged to attend the meeting of the Teachers' Association and all organizations, churches, Sunday Schools, fraternal orders, literary clubs, social worker's organizations etc., as well as every Improvement League are invited to send delegates to the meeting of the Negro Organization Society. Individual members are also expected to attend. D. G. JACOX, Pres. Negro State Teachers' Association, Major Allen Washington, Pres. Negro Organization Society. CAPE CHARLES Mr. N. H.

San Francisco.—After an absence of nearly sixteen years, during which he lived adventures in all parts of the earth, Jack Nearing, an old time resident, returned and visited the grave of Bob Evans, a dog that gained fame among the powder workers of Pinole a score of years ago. Nearing was at that time a powder worker at Pinole. Bob Evans was a Scotch collie, which the powder works of that time declared was the bravest dog in the world. He was born in Pinole on the day that Dewey made his famous entrance into Manila harbor. Bob proved himself to be a fighter and was named in honor of a great naval hero of that time. He was a victim of six powder explosions, but never received a worse injury than a singed coat. One day he was run over by a train, and the workers at the powder mills gathered a Collection of $100 for his funeral. Ever since then, when one of the boys of those bygone days comes to this city, he visits the grave of Bob Evans and decorates it with tokens of sympathy for the brave and faithful playfellow who met his death sixteen years ago. Nearing has not been in this city for eight years until he made his pilgrimage to the shrine of his memories. He left here in 1901 for the Boer war and after peace was declared went to Los Angeles, where he is a railroad man. OFFERS TO FIGHT FOR A DRAFTED BROTHER President Receives Patriotic Letter From Indiana—Cannot Be Accepted Under Draft Terms. Terre Haute, Ind.—Robert C. Copeland, refused permission by a local selective draft board to take the place of his brother, who had been drafted, wrote direct to President Wilson. Lieutenant Colonel Hugh S. Johnson, judge advocate to Provost Marshal General Crowder, to whom the letter was referred, sent the letter to Adjutant General Smith of Indiana, with this comment: "The case of Robert C. Copeland is most interesting, and he is to be highly commended for his fine spirit, but under the selective service act substitution of one person for another is absolutely prohibited. I will thank you to notify Mr. Copeland that his patroltic offer could not be accepted for this reason." Young Copeland wrote to the president as follows: "I know I am asking you a great favor, but if you will but read it over and think out what I am trying to let you know I think you will treat me all right. There are three boys of us—Curtis, twenty-five years old, married and living in Pittsburgh; Ren, twenty-three years old, lives at home and makes good wages; I twenty years old, at home and learning the plumbers' trade at $6 a week. "My grandmother is seventy-two years old; my father died when I was seven months old, and my mother died last September. When you called for the new army Ren was drafted, and I am asking you if you can fix it so I can take Ren's place. I am in good health, good ears and good eyesight and don't touch any kind of intoxicating drink. I will lay down my life for the dear old flag. "Now; Mr. Wilson, you can see for yourself that I am doing right, for you know I could not support my grandmother on $6 a week. I am writing to you without saying anything to Rea about it. If you can, please let me know at once." INDIANS IN AUTOS. Many From Oklahoma and Nebraska Attended an Iowa Dance. Marshalltown, Ia.—When Longfellow wrote of Hiawatha and his long journeys afoot to the land of other tribesmen the poet never dreamed that some day, and not so many years thence, his Indian brothers would be travelling by automobile. The big powwow celebrating the harvest, or corn dance, of the Meskwakls, near Tama, is over, and in attendance at the celebration were several automobile loads of Nebraska and Oklahoma Indians, who many years ago were a part of the Iowa Sac and Fox tribe, from which the Meskwakls sprang. The Indians drove good cars and left over the La Crosse, Tama and Kansas City trail for La Crosse, where they will visit friends among the Wisconsin tribes. HIDDEN BICYCLE AIDS AN ELOPING COUPLE Northumberland, Pa.—Miss Mabel Merle of this city was Cupid's assistant in the elope- ment from this place of Mrs. Lydia Kirkendall, a pretty young widow, and George Oswink, Mrs. Kirkendall's parents opposed the match.

THE NEGRO AND THE WAR There has been much speculation as to how the American Negro will be affected by the outcome of the war. Many indulge the hope that America's entry in the conflict to "make the world safe for democracy," will result in giving a new meaning to democracy in America. All of which remains a matter of speculation as the war progresses. There are however, some practical and tangible benefits that are already accruing to the Negro as a result of the war. Benefits that the race is reaping as a result of circumstances the making of which seem to be providential. There is the labor situation. Nothing has occurred in fifty years to so modify the attitude of union labor toward the race as have the conditions brought on as a result of the war. The agents of the American Federation of Labor were never so active among Negroes of the South as they now are, and never before, in this section at least, have Negro labor organizations been invited to participate in a Labor Day parade with the white organizations as they were on September 3rd. On the surface interest upon the part of white labor in the affairs of colored labor does not seem important, but to the far-seeing it portends the eradication of the double-standard of wages and working conditions in the South. For years it has been customary in the South to pay white and colored labor unequal wages for performing equal tasks, upon the assumption that a Negro was not worth as much as a white man, even if he performed the same amount of work. This policy not only made the Negro's economic standards lower than the white man's but kept them so. The present tendency among leaders of organized labor is toward standardized wages. And at the rate that labor is being unionized there will be a very little non-union labor available in the South in a short while. Another significant change in conditions that will greatly improve the economic status of the race is the willingness of factory and mill owners to use colored labor in places where it has never been used before. Our Elizabeth City correspondent need last week the action of several knitting mills in that city, that on account of the scarcity of white labor opened their doors to Negro young women and boys. Such an opening would hardly have occurred if it had not been for the war. Not the least of the benefits that the race will derive from the war will come as a result of having white officers in Negro regiments, most of whom will come from the South. This will occur to some as a blessing in disguise. It is practically certain that no Southern white man can go to the front with a Negro regiment and come back without a changed viewpoint on all questions affecting the race. Every such officer that returns and takes up his residence in the South may be counted upon as being a safe friend of the Negro after the war. "Making the world safe for democracy" has reference to doing away with kaisers, czars and princes; to disillusion of Kaiser Wilhelm of his world-empire dream. But in attaining this fundamental desire the by-products of the conflict will go a long way toward lifting the burden of social and economic oppression under which the Negro labors. COMPLICATING THE DRAFT SYSTEM. In ordering that the encampment of colored men of the selective draft army be delayed the war department has somewhat complicated matters for the local draft boards. In several instances in the eastern section of Virginia it develops that there are not enough white men available to complete the required forty per cent of the quota ordered to report on September 23rd. The Suffolk and Nansemound county local exemption board announces that it is not able to furnish its district's percentage of the quota, which is 58 men, as there are not that many white men in the quota. The war department has asked the Norfolk county board for 190 white eligibles on September 23rd but the board states that it will not be able to supply but 64. Portsmouth is supposed to furnish 46 white men but cannot do so unless more men are called for examination. Supposing that the same conditions prevail throughout the state Virginia will not be able to furnish its 40 per cent. of the state's quota of the draft army in the second call unless the department amends its order to include colored men. The confusing situation is caused by the demand that colored troops be trained and quartered separately at the various cantonments and the inability of the war department to furnish separate training and quartering facilities at this time. We THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE BEAR VARDAMAN'S QUEER NOTICE James Kirkman Vardaman of Mine, the brainy Southern men in the Midwest. As long as he confines his mentions and reasonable subjects of his mind and pith he is a servicable republic State. But Senator Vardaman may to whom he feels a responsibility certain prejudices for use in his Federal Senate by their loyal house, strange to say, although the party in Mississippi, Senator Vardaman, fight for his Senatorial life as a serious man of his party who are the Nation and cut a big figure in the world. So, in this and other accounts, he often "talks through his hat," these goes, and, of course, he offers some queer notions. Our esteem for the New York News, Calls attends in the following editorial: not share the dire prophecies by S.

How can the friendly aliens here to arms and brave citizens. Nor do we shy away them is more to be feared for Germany. The old order changes, will have to be treated as citizens unarmed. That much is true. But civil war again as he intimates. The mob just now are laying down together in its usual resting place, inside the North have buried the hats and under the keeping of Southern the country's peace and prosperity.

America will soon of refuge for the oppressed of a city. do not look forward to a civil president Wilson has called large number of american citizens to the national and large numbers of them to the Southern camps, simply because he thinks so for his campaign pity he has a large streak of the color him; nor do we anticipate any truth, because the New York News insinuate as much. To paraphrase statement in his letter to Governor the Negro will continue to help freedom in the diadem of Nation finishing race friction after awhile.

Norcum, chair and Means committee, is making the columns of the Journal and with which to make possible the common school branches to the industry. Industrial Home School at Peaks.

Federation in behalf of the state. eral advance all along the line the movent will not be delayed while sentimentalists debate the position that the black troops are to occupy in the attack. SENATOR VARDAMAN'S QUEER NOTION. Senator James Kirkman Vardaman of Mississippi is one of the brainy Southern men in the Federal Congress. As long as he confines his mental attitude to sensible and reasonable subjects of National moment and pith he is a servicable representative of his State. But Senator Vardaman has a constituency to whom he feels a responsibility to keep alive certain prejudices for use in keeping him in the Federal Senate by their loyalty and votes, because, strange to say, although there is no opposition party in Mississippi, Senator Vardaman has to fight for his Senatorial life as against other ambitious men of his party who are anxious to serve the Nation and cut a big figure in the National eye. So, in this and other accounts, Senator Vardaman often "talks through his hat," as the slang phrase goes, and, of course, he often expresses some queer notions. Our esteemed contemporary, the New York News, Calls attention to one of these in the following editorial: We do not share the dire prophecies by Senator Vardaman of impending disaster because colored men have been called to the colors like all other citizens by President Wilson. How could this country fight for democracy in Europe and do otherwise. How could it call even the friendly aliens here to arms and bar its most loyal and bravest citizens. Nor do we share his belief that arming them is more to be feared than a victory for Germany. The old order changeth and colored men will have to be treated as citizens whether armed or unarmed. That much is true. But there will be no civil war again as he intimates. The lion and the lamb just now are laying down together with the lamb in its usual resting place, inside the lion. The South and the North have buried the hatchet in Southern soil and under the keeping of Southern guardians of the country's peace and prosperity. They will never fight again about the citizen of color. In that respect they are one, absolutely; one, but the South is the ONE. There might some day be a great war战, but in the final analysis the sober common sense, good judgment and spirit of fair play and equal opportunity of the American people will assert itself. America will yet be the land of the brave. America will some day be the haven of refuge for the oppressed of all mankind. No; we do not look forward to a civil war because President Wilson has called large numbers of Afro-American citizens to the national colors and ordered large numbers of them to train and winter in Southern camps, simply because Senator Vardaman thinks so for his campaign purposes, and because he has a large streak of the mischief breeder in him; nor do we anticipate any race war in the South, because the New York News allows itself to insinuate as much. To paraphrase Mr. Lincoln's statement in his letter to Governor Hahn, we belive the Negro will continue to help keep the jewel of freedom in the diadem of Nations, and with diminishing race friction after awhile. AN APPEAL FOR WAYWARD GIRLS The State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, through Mrs. Josephine M. Norcum, chairman of the Ways and Means committee, is making an appeal through the columns of the Journal and Guide for funds with which to make possible the teaching of the common school branches to the inmates of the Girls' Industrial Home School at Peaks. Va. This worthy institution is fostered by the Women's State Federation and provides a home and a school of correction for wayward colored girls, numbers of whom have been received and started on a new and useful career through the protection, restraining influences and training afforded them at the Home School at Peaks. The state gives the institution a small appropriation toward the subsistence of the inmates. This is supplemented by donations from white friends, colored churches, organizations and individuals and by produce grown on the farm, the girls doing most of the work. The State Federation of Women's Clubs raised last year the money to employ a teacher of the common school branches for the girls and is making this appeal in order that the work may be continued. It is apparent to all that the fundamental step in correcting and reforming the character of a wayward girl is to give her more knowledge. This can only be accomplished through education of the head and heart as well as of the hand. A charitably inclined public is called upon to aid the women of Virginia in making the training of these girls all that it should be.* It is earnestly hoped that the state will eventually grasp the significance of the work that is being done in this institution and provide for it in larger measure. Until that hope is realized i tis the Christian duty of all Virginians to support the efforts that are being made by the Women's Federation in behalf of the wayward girls of the state.

No document that has come from the White House has shown more thoroughly the superior grasp which our President has of world affairs. The fact that President Wilson was first of those appealed to to make a statement shows the ability of our President, whom we believe to be the ablest ruler in the world at this time. No man, be he president, king or emperor, of any country beneath the sun, is in our opinion the equal of Woodrow Wilson in statescraft, and the science of politics. In substance our President rejects the peace appeal of the Pope, not because he objects to peace, but because he believes to make peace at this time is not to make permanent peace. He also suggests that we could have no peace with German autocracy because its very existence is a menace to permanent peace; but that the German people might not find it impossible to make peace terms. We believe President Wilhelm is responsible for the peace. (Continued from Page 1) church is not worthy of any consideration. The average good that comes to educational, social, moral, and other institutions of moral reform comes from organized Christianity. We are living in a social age, one in which social service is universally considered as an expression of patriotic service, and a strengthening of American life. The analysis of one thousand two hundred and twenty-five social service workers representing the professional workers in America, shows that from seventy to ninety percent of them comes from the rank of organized Christianity. In other words the dynamic force which is today pointing to unselfish giving comes from these forces, and is an inspiration that the church consents to conserve and transmit. The ideals of a nation are fostered if correct by organized Christianity. Democracy counts for nothing unless it is seasoned with Christ's conception of brotherhood. Liberty and equality go astray into individualism, unless based upon the Son-ship of Christ, an dthe equal opportunity of every man to the best because of Christianity. Any appeal to Church history, to the reformation or to the days of the Apostles will justify beyond the shadow of a doubt that the church in spite of its forms of error here and there, has been the creator and inspirer of the ygreatest national ideals. The church has ever been the pioneer of our civilization, our steadfast friend of progress and enlightenment and our truest benefactor of the human race. The church has ever stood as a separate and distinct community, based upon truer and noble principles than are fundamental to human governments. Upon men and institutions the church has left its hallowed impress; molding sentiment, shaping human destiny, and marshaling its mighty forces against all that is vicious and immoral in man and society. The highest ideals of manhood the purest standards of morality, the assured and settled hopes of a blessed immortality have come to us alone through the principles of the Christian Church. If we believe in "a government of the people, by the people, and for the people," it is because we recognize the infinite value and capacity and worth of the individual, in whom the spirit of the living God resides. These are the truths which Christ enunciated, and to which he appealed in His devoted service, to people of all classes an deconditions. It is the truth which the church of God if she is true to the Master, must perpetuate. Eliminate this truth on which we base government, legislation and universal education and the soul of the nation will die. Christianity is confronted with serious national problems, industrial, economic, political, and religious. The aim of Christianity is to solve them rightly, and bend our energies by legislative enactments to solve them. And by this process we are beginning to see that back of all these problems is a religious problem; and that in the last analysis they all go back to the establishment of right relations among men. Nothing has stirred this country more than the labor question, and the resent war in Europe which is drenching that land in human blood. But there is one solution for it, and that is, the golden rule set forth by Jesus Christ: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The glory of Christianity is that it not only gives men a vision of right conduct, but also gives them the disposition and will to perform it. Christianity is primarily concerned with motive power. It shows us our work and equips us to perform it. Here then is the fundamental necessity and place of religion in national life. A vision which makes us will that which is right. If our problems are at right relation, man to man, then we need that power that will help us to express that relation in terms of brotherhood, by bearing the burden of the weak and oppressed. This may also apply to the home, where legislation and ethical maxiums may register our high ideals, but nothing save direct religious influences in the home, and in the lives of parent an children, can be relied upon to keep the unity, sanctity and integrity of family life. Hence the individual who lives within organized Christianity, and has identified one's self with the church, and with the principles of Jesus Christ which helps to keep his vision clear, stands in the place where he can receive the greatest power for the greatest good. Whatever the faults of the church may be there is no institution on earth which stands to minister so completely to our civilization and to the uplifting and strengthening of national life as does the church. The church is the soul of the nation. Historic the living vital force, in present American Life PREVENTIVE and REMEDIAL MEASURES for the CONSERVATION of HEALTH By DR. J. W. PIERCE The school season has put in its appearance for city and town schools, and in a few days or weeks the rural schools will open for school work. A large number of children from all localities and all sorts of environment will be found among those who will attend school daily. It is very important that the teachers be on the alert and scrutinize carefully for those defects in the life of the pupils that make hardships for them from health viewpoint. The first thing the teacher should do, in reopening the school, is to observe closely for all physical defects or apparent diseases in the children so that they will not be harmful to the pupils so afflicted, neither will there be a possibility of lending encouragement through neglect in having these abnormal physical conditions transmitted or communicated to other well children. Those who come for the first time at the opening should be observed impartially and when the teacher discovers anything that does not seem to be normal to her, advice to parents or guardians should follow who from common sense suggestion would try to have the trouble removed so that no physical ailment would be an obstacle in the way of the boys and girls who possess these defects, neither will they in turn be a source of physical weakness to other children with whom they are in such close contact, and with whom they play. During vacation many diseases may be contracted by pupils, and it is not always a fact that such diseases are cleared up entirely before re-entering school. Some persist because they had no treatment all at all; others because they were attacked in late summer and Patriotism needs a vision, or it will deteriorate into selfish partisan politics. The vision that the church gives is that of the Master. And the vision that he put before the eyes of his countrymen, was the "Kingdom of God." And those who are equipped with such are those who are prepared to do the greater service for their country and God. It is the vision of the reign of God on earth, a vision of right triumphing over wrong, injustice, and every form of unrighteousness. A vision of a republic or kingdom that finds expression in the fellowship and service of man and in the spirit and power of Jesus Christ. What the nations o the world need, and our country included is a new mind and heart, a new conception of how to live, and work together for the common good of all. A deeper conception of the infinite worth of human life. And the use God wills that we shall make of our lives. It is said of the patriot Abraham, that "he looked for a city that hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God." No less true is it that every true American looks for a nation that has foundations whose builder and maker is God. God is the builder of all good society, and God works through man the center of whose interest, is the kingdom of God. With man he has entrusted the salvation of the world and the formation of all well ordered governments. The best contribution that the church can give to national life is to give to it better men, better women, and better children, to work for the reign of God on earth. In such ways the church bears witness of God and His kingdom. A true citizen is not simply one who may perchance cast a vote, but there is a citizenship a patriotism that sees all life and its problems, as that which exalteth a nation. Show they servant thy work. "Let thy work appear." The vision of the kingdom means the reign of God on earth. The gap between what we have done and what we ought to do is before us. The call of the country is for Christianity to redeem it. We are still young with untold possibilities waiting us. Multitudes of many nations have been ouring into our country, and we somehow feel that here will come to pass that prophecy which says, "In thee shall all the nations of the earth be blessed." This is a call to put our hands to the plow and run our furrows straight and clean. It is a challenge to every spark of religious patriotism within us. PETER B. of our day and generation. Saturday, September 22, 1917. treatment had not had a chance to bring permanent relief before time for reopening of the schools. It is not to be debated why the pupils enter schools with gross appearances of diseases which may influence the health status of the entire school community, but the question of having this or these pupils looked after professionally is all important, and the teachers who is so impressed with these physical ailments from general observation of those who are under her care, should insist upon correction. In this she is helping her pupils to do better work; it is on this score that her influence will mean much to the health of the community in which she is teaching and working. There are many ailments that the teacher cannot detect in the children and she cannot be held responsible for children entering school with these abnormal conditions. But there are others which can be readily seen and on which it is her duty or his duty to give advice to the proper parties. Some of those diseases are the following: skin diseases, which may present themselves in all kinds of shapes and appearance; some with direct open sores and others partly healed etc. sore eyes, ring worms, itch, running ears, sore lips the so-called fever blisters, odenoids, tonsillitis, falling out of hair from the head, eye brows and lashes, boils, ulcers etc. These are the gross physical defects that need attention both for the sake of the unfortunate and for those in close association with him. The teacher renders great service to all concerned when she or he gives his accurate attention and help toward removing those things that may be great harm and a direct setback to the pupils he is trying to teach. The best results from teaching always come from those pupils who possess a sound mind in a sound body.

C.,—The five hundred colored employees who on last Monday morning walked out of the Atlantic Coast Line shops pending an answer to their petition for a promised raise in wages are still holding out at this writing.

Secretary Boyd's Splendid Report (Continued on Pags Eight) member of the International Lesson Committee, only Negro in the world occupying the position, the convention went wild with applause. "We make everything from a post card, to an encyclopedia, and from a calling card to a Bible. Our literature is written by Negroes, set up on type setting machines owned and operated by Negroes, printed on printing presses owned and operated by Negroes, finished in a book binding plant owned and operated by Negroes, and sent out for use by Negro Baptists. A Baptist literature from beginning to end," declared the venerable secretary, who will be seventy-five years old on his next birthday.

Colored Men Denied Increase (Continued from Page 1) these men. Had they stolen chickens every white paper would have stamped it on the minds of the nation. But since they are demanding justice and showing that they have rights that must be respected the news is surprised. However, their hold stand for better conditions for Negro laborers is a song that must be sung by the Negro race. Rev. Talley said in his special sermon to the men, "God wants men with their heads perpendicular to heaven with a divine will and rights that must be respected and any creature ceases to be a man when he crawls around horizontally indifferent to wrongs committed against him." We pray that these men will get their rights. Tobacco Stemmers Quit. About three hundred women employed as stemmers by the American Cigar Co., at their Norfolk factory went on a strike several days ago when the management refused to accede to their demands for an increased wage scale and shorter hours. The women have organized under the Transportation Workers Association of Virginia and declare that they will not return to work until their demands are met. Mr. J. J. Long, manager of the Norfolk factory was willing to deal with the women but declined to negotiate with the union and on that account no agreement has been reached. The factory is closed down, there being no labor to operate it. Efforts on the part of citizens to meditate the troubles between the women and their employer failed. Ocean Rest. The Fresh Air Committee spent the day at Ocean Rest Wednesday Sept. 12, for the purpose of consulting and making plans for a more extensive work another year.

Member of Italian Commission to United States Says Morale of Germany is Large Factor In Determining Length of War—Looks to America For Coal and Iron. Chicago.—Italy's fight will be a long, hard fought, foot by foot war, said General Guglielmotti, member of the Italian commission to the United States, during his recent visit to Chicago. "We have immense guns as high in the mountains as 10,000 and 12,000 feet above sea level," said the general. "Since we have gained these attitudes ```markdown ``` GENERAL. GUGLIELMOTTI. the fight has been easier, but with our front, equal in length to the entire Belgium and French fronts, we have the hardest kind of warfare. "Judging entirely from a military standpoint, the duration of the war cannot be determined. How long it will last depends in a great measure upon the internal conditions of the countries at war. The morale of Germany is a large factor in determining the length of the war. "The Italian army by its efforts is keeping the entire Austrian forces at work trying to batter us down. If we are able to defeat the Austrians there is nothing that can keep us from getting at Germany from the back while she is being kept busy with the French, British, Belgians and our new allies, the Americans, along the western front. "The purpose of the mission's visit to the United States is to extend greetings to America, our comrade, and to promote the spirit of brotherhood between our country and yours. In the second place, our mission is important politically and commercially. "We must arrange to get supplies, coal, iron and munitions from the United States. War can be carried on without bread, but never without coal. Coal keeps our factories going and our factories furnish the necessities of war. England's supply of coal and iron is limited. She needs so much herself we must look to America for our fuel." General Guglielmottl is accompanied by his visit by Lieutenant Mario Prochet, who served with him on the mountainous front. WOMAN CAPTURES EAGLE. She Came Out Victorious After Battle With the Bird. Redlands, Cal.—Mrs. Winthrop Howland of the El Chivar Goat ranch in Live Oak canyon came out victor in a battle with a golden eagle, and the big bird is now a captive at the ranch. Mrs. Howland noticed the bird alight in a peach tree. It appeared to be exhausted, so she grabbed one leg and then the battle started. Mrs. Howland saw that she was in for a fight and, not daring to let loose of the bird, made a dive for its neck and was lucky enough to get a hold of it. She was thus able to keep the bird from biting her, but it beat at her with its wings. She managed to get it into a pigeon corral and then found that she was almost exhausted by the fight. The eagle is a large one and measures about six feet from tip to tip. When Mrs. Howland made an examination she found that she had been wounded, but the wound is almost healed. SQUAD OF PIGS THAT DRILL. After Few Lessons They Go Through Military Evolutions Alone. Belechertown, Mass.—Jack Newman of this town has organized his piggy recording to the infantry drill regulations. From 100 pigs he picked a squad of thirty-two. Every morning before breakfast for two weeks these thirty-two pigs followed their drill master around the edge of the field, just inside the wire, and paraded across the center. Then Newman purposely delayed his appearance and found that the pigs went through their usual evolutions alone. President Buys More Bonds. Washington.—President Wilson has invested $10,000 in farm loan bonds. He took $10,000 of the first issue of liberty bonds. On Trip Through Far South Dr. Handy Sees Reasons For Exodus Of Negroes Rev. and Mrs. J. Albert Handy returned a few days ago from a trip through Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, where Dr. Handy was called to fill several lecture engagements. Asked concerning general conditions affecting colored people in the states visited Dr. Handy recited a story that was anything but optimistic. Thousands of Negro families, said he, have left the territory he visited, and those who remain would go if they could realize anything from their holdings. Lynchings and other lawless occurrences have been so frequent of late, said Dr. Handy, that colored people everywhere live in a state of terror. He said that the newspapers do not publish reports of half the lynchings and mob outbreaks that occur, and that the half has not been told regarding actual conditions that exist. Peonage thrives in Alabama and Mississippi with apparent approval of the authorities. He predicted that within another year a million more Negroes would have migrated from the South "Nobody but a Negro smiles in the far South," said Dr. Handy. "We traveled over three states without seeing a smile on a white person's face." Railroad men and shop-keepers were discourteous almost to a degree of brutality without exception to colored people, he said. Mississippi especially made a bad impression on him. "I would not live in Mississippi if they gave me the state," said Dr. Handy. He visited places where churches had been closed because whole congregations, pastor included, had gone North or West to live.

Call, phone or write Norfolk, Va. Phone 2118 By F. A. MITCHEL When I was a boy I remember hearing a conversation between my school-teacher and my mother. He had called to say to her that my scholarship was so poor that she might as well take me out of school and put me to work. Mother was so discouraged at this that the teacher, who was a kind hearted man, undertook to comfort her. "To tell the truth," he said, "you can never tell what kind of a man a boy is going to make. For my part I believe in following one's bent. What we do well we usually do easily. Has Tommy ever shown especial adaptability for any particular work?" "Well, I would advise you to let him do what he likes to do. Perhaps he will some day find out what he is fitted for." "If I let him do that he will go fishing all the while." It seemed to me that the teacher gave up trying to be optimistic for me, for he left my mother to console herself as best she could. I consolled myself for my worthlessness by taking my rod and going to the brook. It was full of trout, and I thought that I might as well get some for supper. I could at least do that even if I were a no account boy. I brought home a fine string of fish. Mother took me out of school and called on me to help her about the house. I was a very poor helper and hated the work. As soon as I could get my chores done I made off with my rod, and mother saw no more of me till I came home, always with a string of fish. That was the only way that I was really useful. I could catch fish where all others failed. The reason for this was that I noted the habits of the fish and knew just when and where to look for them. I noticed that there was a certain kind of fly that trout would always take. I had no fly in my case that they would take with the same avidity. I caught one of these live flies and, taking it home, made one as near like it as I could. I had a box of paints, which served me very well. My artificial fly would not have pleased an entomologist, but it fooled the fish. Some boy friends of mine spread the story of my making my own fly, and it got to the cars of the manager of a fishing tackle manufactory in the neighborhood. He came to see me one day and asked me about it. I showed him my artificial fly and how successful I had been with it. He told me that if I would catch one of the live flies of that species for him he would give me $5 for it. I did so and got the money. It seemed to me a large sum, and I felt very proud of it. Several times on the way home I took it out of my pocket to have another good look at it. When I took the bill to my mother and explained how I had got it she said that it was probably the only $5 I would ever make. I used to talk about fish to other fishermen. They never tired of listening to me. One day when I was about nineteen years old one of them asked me to write out for him some points that I had told him. I did so, and he seemed very much pleased with what I gave him. He was an author and told me that if I would write an instruction book on angling he would put it in proper shape for me and submit it to his publisher. I put down a lot of things in a jumble: he arranged them all in good grammatical English, and the book was published with my name on the title page. A couple of years after this I took a lot of notes I had made on the habits, the breeding and other information about fish, and with a little revision by my literary friend it was issued by the firm which had published my first book. It was not long after this that a state fishery was established, and the government was looking for a superintendent. The governor had used my books on angling, and one day I was astonished to receive a letter from him asking if I would accept the position of superintendent of the state fishery with a line salary. I took the letter to my mother, and when she read it she threw her arms around me and hugged me. "Who'd have thought," she said, "that a boy who wouldn't work and was bound to waste his time all day tied to a fish pole would ever come to any good?" My position as superintendent of the state fishery at once gave me a wide reputation, and I was constantly called upon for information in matters pertaining to fish culture. A neighboring state offered me a better salary than I was being paid and rather than lose me my own state offered me a large advance, which I accepted and remained where I was. By this time I was married, but I did not forget my old mother who had told my teacher that if her boy were permitted to do as he pleased he would do nothing but go fishing. She is now an enthusiastic advocate of letting a boy follow his own bent, even if that bent seems idleness. Indeed, my success has made me a convert to this theory. To be especially successful in a work one must love it. I question if any one ever achieved any notable success in following a calling that was a drudgery to him. Hard work there is in almost any great attainment—work that is drudgery—but when the worker is buoyed up by a love for the main object he is striving to accomplish he can stand the necessary drudgery. Roanoke, Va.—The Laymen's Bible class which was organized some time ago is still doing a fine business. On the fifth Sunday as per schedule the meeting was held in Salem, and was well attended.
