HEAR COL.ROBT.T.KERLIN AT BANK ST. BAPT. CHURCH WED. MAY 8:30 P.M. VOL. XXII. NO. 20 VA. BAPTIST CONVENTION BIG SUCCESS State Baptist Convention In Session at Danville Reports Prosperous Year. Noted Baptists From Other States Attend. Danville, Va.—The Virginia Baptist State Convention in session at Loyal Street Baptist church since Monday came to a close Saturday. The Convention chose the First Baptist church, Rannoke, Va., as the meeting place for its next annual session. The session just closed was one of the most successful in the history of the organization. WEDNESDAY Dr. T. J. King called the Convention to order at 9 o'clock. He congratulated the large number of ministers upon their presence and briefly outlined the work before the Convention. "Am I A Soldier Of The Cross," was the opening hymn, lined by Rev. A. C. Matthews, of Brooklyn, N. Y., Rev. H. A. Stephens read the Scripture lesson and the opening prayer was made by Rev. W. D. Scott. Rev. H. A. Stephens read the delivery of the welcome address. The first speaker was Mayer Hurry Wooding, of Danville, who extended a cordial welcome to the Convention. He was followed by the Rev. W. F. Grastry, principal of the colored High Ministry, who represented the United Ministerate of Danville, in words of welcome. The white ministers were represented in words of welcome by the Rev. Dr. H. S. Taylor, of the Episcopal church, and all the addresses were responded to by Rev. C. A. Lindsey, of Richmond. The ministers were then introduced to the Convention. It was officially announced that Rev. J. H. Ashby, had been called to Asbury Park, N. J., and would leave the State. He was congratulated by many for his efficient work in the state and a committee was appointed to hold a gold medal. In the afternoon the gold medal, King, delivered the annual address. In speaking of Self-help, Dr. King said: "The doctrine of self-help is heaven born and handed down to the battling sons of men as a heritage most sacred. I hear men charging that our doctrine is unbiblical, and therefore unChristian, I do not unlearn anything can be unChristian which is not presently in the life of Christ. The idea of appealing to the power without almost invariably has utterly failed; but appeal to the powers within is sure of bringing results. A man cannot make it by appealing to the God outside of his life; but he must first let Him in and then appeal to God that lives in his own breast. He says, can he do all things thru Christ? He can do his height. The reports were then and after which Dr. A. A. Graham made the report for the committee on nomination of officers. The two important features of the afternoon session were an address by Prof. Vernon H. Johns, of the Court Street Baptist church, and the Virginia Theological Seminary, and Dr. James E. Willis, of Vernont Avenue Baptist church, Washington, D. C. Dr. Willis wrote, "Wang the Land for God." "Music was rendered by the choir of First Calvary Baptist church. THURSDAY A masterly address was made by Rev. Dr. J. C. Austin, of Pittsburgh, who declared for the redemption of Africa by Negroes. The feature of the day was the address by the educational leader of the Baptist in Virginia, M. of U.S. College, president of the Theological Society of Woods declared eternal war on ignorance and illiteracy. The work which had been accomplished by the Negro for the Negro was held up, especially the program put through at the Seminary, the raising of $115,000 by the race, by the Baptists, and the erection of a building costing $150,000. The Negro constitutes one-tenth of the population of Woods, and Dr. Woods, "and if the nation is to reach its maximum power in economic and industrial efficiency, it must come as a result of a one hundred per cent efficient population. The educated colored man is the hope of his race and a support to his times and his civilization. W. H. Simms, of New York made the first speech Thursday evening, and it was a practical address, filled with wit, humor and common sense, and then it was backed up in a substantial way, for he presented a check for one thousand dollars from Rev. W. W. Brown, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church, and $200 from his own church, and contributions from other churches in New York. The educational sermon was preached by the Rev. F. A. Brown.

An old man, going a lone highway Came at the evening, cold and gray To a chasm vast and deep and wide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim. The sullen stream had no fear for him; But he turned when safe on the other side. And built a bridge to span the tide.

Loan to Cancel Debts, Balance To Improve Country. Many Educated Natives There. COMMISSIONERS OPPOSED BY MANY (BY DR. C. S. BROWN.) The second is the Second Article of the Series Dr. Brown is writing on his recent observations in Liberia—Editor) The civilized population of Liberia forms, but a small fraction of the inhabitants; the great mass of people are heathen, maintaining all the customs common to the Africa's primitive people. It is said that there are different degree dialectes spoken in Liberia; hence they have no common language, but they have little dealings with each other. This mass of ignorance and superstition is a tremendous handicap to the development of the country. There is little or no effort on the part of the civilized population to uplift the natives. They have no dealings with them, only as master with servants or laborers. What is being done to better Liberia's condition? The government is trying to secure the loan of five million dollars from the United States. In fact, the contract has been signed, and it only awaits the endorsement of Congress. It is said that the Liberians will use half of this money to cancel the debts that the republic has in Europe, and the balance will go to the government, in terms of investments, such as building a dock at Morrovia and opening up public roads into the interior. The contract concerning the use of this money and salaries for administration, was printed and circulated while we were in the country. There developed considerable opposition to the loan of loan among the ruling class, and the commission was severely condemned for signing the agreement. The people want the money, and feel that the future of the republic largely depends on this money. The opposers based their objections on things (4) the contract on specific information on specific mony w was to be paid back; (2) The salaries of controlling officials were made too high—for instance, the president was to have nineteen thousand dollars a year, instead of three thousand as now, and the chairman of American commission, fifteen thousand as now, and the mission to be appointed to supervise their national affairs, twenty-one all, are to be white men from America. They felt that this would mean annexation and domination. There were other objections of less importance, which we do not recall. Numbers have been reduced to object, servicing the burden." Along the coast everywhere, there are hundreds of black men who have been trained in schools in Europe and America, who feel that Africashould be left wholly to them, and therefore, the whole country faces crisis. You travel among people and people and people will realize that there is a "race problem." This feeling is crystalized in four ways: RACE CONSCIOUSNESS 1. By the awakening of race consciousness, evidently greatly stimulated by the great World War, when thousands were taken (Continued on next page). ILLITERACY DECREASES IN THE SOUTH Southern States Show Marked Decrease in Illiteracy Between 1910 and 1920. Georgia Has Greatest Number Uneducated. LARGE NUMBER Washington, D. C.—The public schools of the South are making progress in eliminating illiteracy among the Negroes. The 1920 census showed about 200,000, less colored illiterates than that of 1910. In 1910 the percentage of illiterate students in the South was 33.3. In 1920 the population dropped to 26.3. This leaves 1,753,000 Negroes who cannot write. Georgia has the greatest number of these illiterates—261,115, a percentage of 29.1. Louisiana with 206,300, had the highest percentage of illiterate students 38.5. Other States which still have illiterate students colored illiterates are Alabama with 31.3 percent, Mississippi with 205,813, or 29.3 per cent, and South Carolina with 131,422, or 29.3 per cent. Every Southern State showed a marked reduction in illiteracy between 1910 and 1920. Every Northern State showed a decrease. This would indicate that the Negroes migrated were mostly able to read, otherwise they would have insecure literacy in the North. The percentage of illiteracy among Northern Negroes is much less than among Southern Negroes, being 26 per cent in the South and 8 per cent in the North. Every Southern State also shows a marked decrease in the proportion of Negro children in school. For the South as a whole, slightly half of the Negro children are reported in school, while in the North slightly over 60 per cent in school. BOY KILLED BY ALCOHOL EXPLOSION James Parker Killed By Unusual Accident in Drug Store. Would Have Entered High School Next Year. James Parker, who was employed at Jerome P. Carr's drug store, Portsmouth, as night porter was instantly killed Monday night when a barrell of alcohol exploded in the rear of the store. It is supposed that Parker was sitting on the barrel which contained six or eight gallons of grain alcohol. The proprietor of the store nor the police were able to assign any reason for the explosion as the barrel was supposed to be well corked to prevent any escaping fumes from becoming ignited by cigarettes or matches. The barrel shot up to the ceiling causing the boy with it, breaking his neck and fracturing his ribs. The bottom of the truck was shattered by the explosion, otherwise it landed back to the floor pretty well intact. Parker died within two minutes of the accident. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Parker, 2414 Pine street, and a student at the Truxtun school, also a member of St. Thomas Sunday school, Brighton. James was fifteen old and would have entered high school. He is survived by his mother and father, three sisters and two brothers. The body was turned over to undertaker John H. Corprew, 300% Chestnut street. On Thursday it was shipped to Windsor, N. C., the home of the family for burial. M.E. BISHOPS DECRY THE MOB SPIRIT College of Bishops of Methodist Church, South, Urge Passage of Laws to Curb Great American Evil. COMMEND RACE'S GREAT EFFORTS Hot Springs, Ark.—The official weight of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, numbering two and a quarter million members, was thrown into the balance against lynching by the Quadrennial Address of the College of Bishops to the General Conference in session there. Having commented on the Negroes' dale zeal in "for education and on the remarkable progress made by the race since it emerged from slavery, the bishops continue: "We urge our people everywhere to do all they can for the uplifting of the Negroes in preparation for a safe and helpful citizenship. This impuses that they shall have complete justice concerned. We especially urge that everything possible be done to prevent lynchings, which are no less a disgrace to those who engage in them than they are an outrage upon the helpless victims. This crime of crimes, which is not only a complete subversion of law but a stroke at the very life of law itself, has discredit our nation in the eyes of other civilized nations. We oblige obloquy upon many of the States of the Union. It is hoped that the States will continue to legislate against this shameful crime and that the public conscience will be specially so aroused that it will be utterly abolished." COL. ROBT. T. KERLIN TO LECTURE HERE Was Dismissed From_Virginia College on Account of Views on Race Question. Major Kerlin. T. Kerlin, who was dismissed from the faculty of Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, because he wrote a strong letter to the governor of Arkansas in behalf of the Elaine riots, is billed to deliver a lecture in Norfolk Wednesday night, May 1st. Major Kerlin will speak at Bank Street Baptist church. Following the so-called race riot that occurred at Elaine, Ark., when most of the men were sentenced to hang and a score or more given long prison terms, after hurried trials, Prof. Kerlin wrote a letter to the governor of that State expressing great sympathy for the convicted man and asking that they be given executive clemency. The governor did not like the Mayor's letter and so excused himself to the board of visitors of Virginia Military Institute. Major Kerlin was called up, asked to retract and apologize, and refusing to do so was summarily dismissed. In a letter to a Norfolk citizen he says: "I expect to remain in Virginia, as I pledged myself to do when the V.M. I. board of visitors dismissed me for writing my open letter to the governor of Arkansas in behalf of the Elaine Negroes. I am going to stay here, in the South, and fight to a finish this battle of equity and justice. I propose to do my utmost to rally the forces, white and colored, justifying my mind-minded people, for this great battle. I have dedicated my life to this." Prof. Kerlin's dismissal from the V. M. I. faculty created a sensation throughout the State. Practically every leading newspaper in the State, the Times, the Tribune, the patch and the Virginian-Pilot, severely criticised the action of the school authorities, as being subversive of liberty and free speech. The subject of Major Kerlin's lecture, *The Method of Encouragement* will deal with the vital facts of interracial relations and will no doubt be full of interest. The arrangements for Major Kerlin's appearance here are in the hands of a committee of hundred citizens, the official of which will be published in next week's issue of the Journal and Guide.

(Continued on Page Five) LIBERIANS LAUD ARCHDEACON RUSSELL Praise His Great Work in America And Extend Welcome To Their Land. What the Liberians think of Archdemon Russel and his presence in their country is best described in the following article which appeared in the current issue of the Liberian News: "By the 'Egba of Elder Dempster and Co., Ltd., March 30th, arrived Archdemon Russell, one of the foremost, most notable and widely known clergymen of the colored race, in the Epalphal Church, in the United States." "He is a clergyman of very high standing, having on two different occasions refused the bishopric, to devote himself to what he regards as his life work, namely, building up St. Paul for the welfare and promotion of his race, and very widely known throughout the Church by both races. His unassuming manners make him generally beloved by all who meet him. He makes one feel quite at home in his presence, although so influential. He has truly done a great work for St. Paul and the Church he splendid work being once on St. Paul is a great monument to his work and worth. Starting from a very humble beginning, in fact with no money, merely an act of faith, by great energy, industry and perseverance he has built the school up to the great monumental work it is today. It is the work of the highest degree only in the proportions of the work and not in the class of the work." "He comes over six thousand miles to see and know Liberia and about her affairs,—her striving hopes, aspirations, ambitions and possibilities. The information he will give to the information he will give to his people. I am sure all Liberians welcome the coming of such a visitor." Archedeacon Russell in a communication to the Journal and Guide states that every thing possible has been done to make sure they stay on Liberian soil comfortable. He is scheduled to sail from that country on the 23rd, instant. Little Bay Beach. Junc 20--Miller Day Nursery. Ports. Junc 20--LaLoraine Social Club. Berkley (Night) June 21—Grace P. E. Church S. S.

BANQUETED BY BUSINESS MEN "Lynching in America must be destroyed and will be destroyed. As the Romans of old ended their daily vocations with the words, 'Carthago delenda est,' (Carthago must be destroyed) when Rome was a vassal state to Carthage, so must every American Negro from the youth to the aged repeat—daily the words, "Lynching must be destroyed, until the damnable blot is removed from the face of the American continent," declared Henry Lincoln Johnson addressing a large audience at Emmaus Church, Portsmouth, Tuesday night. Mr. Johnson spoke on the subject, "Duties and Responsibilities of the Negro of today and His Prospects for tomorrow." After the speaker had paid his respects to the officers of the Skull and Appeal, he appeared in Portsmouth auspices he audience, he confessed that he is a politician, adding that, "With me, politics is a religion and excepting the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. I know nothing else in which the destiny of the American Negro is so vitally bound as the religion of the bishop." In his opening remarks Mr. Johnson paused to state that he was getting old although he had not lived the allotted years, but that any Negro who stays in public life as long as he has in the delightful surroundings of the State of Georgia, with a number of friends, in single year, would surely get old before he reaches three score years and ten, (laughter.) The speaker admonished his bearers that when he speaks of American politicians he has no reference to the common ward healer; to the whiskey man; to the slave; to the government in the history and Government of his country, its laws, knowing which laws are best for the people—and which are not the best. The science of politics, declared Mr. Johnson, is nothing more nor less than making the laws under which the servants to execute them. Launching out with the eloquence of a veteran statesman, Henry Lincoln Johnson said, "Lincoln declared that this a government for the people, of the people and by the people," then said that the government of the country must be chosen and constitution of every individual within its confines." He reviewed the political history of the colored man from Emancipation to the present, enumerating the Negroes who have occupied souls in the past, in the present and declared that the woes of the race have up in proportion as it has lost its rights. There is more lynching today, said the speaker, than there was during the days when Brank K. Bruce, John M. Langston, Josiah Wales, Lynch and other Negroes in the country have the laws and in choosing its executive. "Unless you address yourself to understand your government, its laws and the servants of the law; unless you acquit yourself to become a part of the political equation; unless you do what every other American citizen does, you are working for own effacement, avered the speaker. In a burst of oratory, Henry Lincoln Johnson, cried out, "Let every Negro sing, 'My Limitation is the Sky,' If there be inescapable differences as differences of exterior, souls of skins may differ but affections dwell in white and black the same." "No country except America," said Mr. Johnson, "has the dowright, murderous brutality of lynching." The speaker urged his hearers to acquire the full standard of citizenship. Freedom was not gratuitous. The war upon its desolate Mr. Johnson, "but won by the blood of our fathers, and if any one doubts that assertion let them go to Petersburg or to Mecklenburg and commune with the spirits of black men who fell in the uniform of the Union army. The Skull and Bones Club entertained the audience with selections by their quartet and a solo by Mr. Frank Williams. Mr. C. W. Davis presented Attorney T. H. Reid, who paid a glowing tribute to the many qualities of Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson and closed his remarks by presenting the speaker's evening. The Skull and Bones Club and the prominent citizens banqueted Mr. Johnson after the address at Tidewater Hall. Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Washington, D. C., spent several hours in the city Monday.

PARKER JONES "There is a reaper whose name is Death, And with his sickle keen, He reaps the bearded grain at a breath, And the flowers that grow between. It was on Sunday, May 7th, that the grim reaper, Death, entered the Jones home at 2601 Pearl Street, and took there from the beloved husband and father, Mr. Parker Jones, who at the time of his death was 96 years of age. Mr. Jones had been sick for a considerable length of time but had borne his sickness with that patience and resignation which had characterized his whole life. For 48 years he had been a member of Grove Baptist church and before moving to the city was one of its most faithful communicants and was always found at his post. Most of Mr. Jones's early life was spent in Nansenmond county. During the Civil War, he was not a slave although he worked for white people as a farmer. Early in the 60's however, he began farming for himself and was the first colored man in this section to ship truck products to northern markets. In the military services which were held at the residence, were conducted by Rev. J. M. Armistand and altho, sad were very impressive. The deceased is survived by his widow, Mrs. Margaret Jones, and the following children: Miss E. N. Jones, Mrs. S. J. Hicks and Messers. T. C., Nathaniel, Theodore J., Claude, and Jasper Jones. The funeral was under the direction of Mr. Jno. T. Fisher and interment was in Lincoln Cemetery. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful and attested the esteem in which the deceased was held by the community whose deepest sympathy goes out to the bereaved family. "AT REST" In loving remembrance of our beloved mother, Sarah E. Newman, whom departed this life May 5th, 1920.

Jones, wealthy dealer. Miss Berkley claimed that Mr. Jones after an ardent courtship proposed marriage and after she had made preparations for the wedding and resigned her position as secretary of the Board.

SATURDAY, MAY 20.1922 BURNED AT THE STAKE IN TEXAS And now a new horror, which is old in the spirit of it in the Southern States, has come out of Texas. Five hundred men, at five o'clock in the Saturday morning, burned three Negroes at the stake and, a few days later captured a fourth, a brother of one of the burned three, and lynched him. They were alleged by one of the four to have attacked and murdered a young white woman. If they were guilty as alleged, and we have no moral right to presume guilt in the absence of legal trial and conviction—they certainly were monsters dominated by the beast in man, and would have suffered the legal consequences if given a legal trial. But were they monsters dominated by the beast in man, 500 of them, any more than the four? God save the American Republic from the demons in its citizenship, both the whites and the blacks of them. And we should have the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill to show that we are trying to help ourselves. DISORDERS IN THE CHURCHES "Pastor was locked out of church," says a headline. It conveyed an interesting and disagreeable story to all who read even the headline. Nothing more disagreeable in the history of a church can happen than a condition in which the pastor, trustees and congregation disagree and determine to go into a sort of fight, which the public is invited to witness, to settle matters. Paul explicitly warned against that sort of thing, and he is our law-giver in matters of Church Government, as Jesus is in matters of doctrine. Any action that scandalizes religion is distasteful to true believers. When there can be found no way of compromising their differences, when pastor and trustees and congregation fall out, the usefulness of the pastor, as far as that particular church is concerned, is at an end, and the pastor should separate himself from that congregation. When he does not do it, when the Bishop, or others higher in authority, undertake to force him on the congregation, the church is often split into two congregations where there was but one, and with the consequent weakening of the two. We know of numerous church congregations weakened and scandalized in this way. When two or more people cannot agree in anything they are concerned mutually the wise thing for them to do is to separate, each going his way. THE LITTLE LOG SCHOOL HOUSE Webster's blue back speller and McGuffie's series of readers, so familiar to all school children in the days when we were boys, have long since gone into the discard. But they were great things in their day and served a splendid purpose. And they were mighty difficult to master. Great and useful men and women, for the Nation, and for our race group, were graduates of the system that prevailed when those two series, with Greenleaf's series of arithmetics, were the buses of primary education. And now they say the little log school house is going into the discard, in North Carolina and the other Southern States. They have been going these many years, and after a while they will be as rare as the dodo, and other extincts. More modern and imposing structures are taking their places as the old order changes. The grandchildren of those of us who came out of slavery are entering upon a new and, let us hope a better IT ENCOURAGES THE RACE We have observed that the desire to be recognized and encouraged in what we are doing, or in what we should do, is inherent in all sorts and conditions of men, from the highest to the lowest. The greatest men we have known possessed the weakness in a very large measure; and they were as sensitive to criticism as raw flesh. And this is because no man and no woman lives to himself alone and withers and dies in isolation. The visit for a half day made by Governor Trinkle and his staff to the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, at Petersburg, and the carefulness with which they inspected the school, and the words of encouragement they spoke to the teachers and the students, although in the line of their duty, was highly appreciated, not only by the school authorities, but by the Negro people of the State. It shows that the Governor and the superintendent of Education, and others in authority in the State, are interested in them and their wellbeing, as they are that of other race groups, and it gives them heart of hope to do all that they can to become worthy citizens of The Mother of Presidents, If the Afro-Americans receive more such friendly visits and advice such as Governor Trinkle gave in the present case, and less of aloofness and studied abuse by small editors and politicians with axes to grind, Virginia would be a better place than it is for all of its people to glory in and strive to make even better than it is. SUCCESSFUL HOG RAISER We should pull off our hats to Mr. William Taylor Johnson, a Pullman Car porter, with a run between Chicago and Minneapolis, who has accumulated a fortune of $100,000 raising hogs at the same time that he was raising tips and drawing his pay envelope as a porter. Mr. Johnson has imagination. Most people haven't got any, or so little as to be negligible. Mr. Johnson had two days off at the Minneapolis end of his run. He bought a small farm head the city and began with the assistance of his wife to raise hogs. Now he is on the way to become a Hog King. What Mr. Johnson has done any other car porter can do, if he has a little imagination and plenty of pluck, by developing something in his spare hours that will pay. The picture of Mr. Johnson as published in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE of May 6, should serve as an inspiration to a lot of people who have more time than they know what to do with, and with which they have not got enough imagination to cope. Let them try to think a little, and after n while they will develop enough thinking to get busy with something that will change the whole viewpoint and substance of their fortunes. It is the little beginnings that make the big ends. A great many people are too proud to begin in a small way to develop a business about which they know something. When they do start it is often in a big way, and, instead of succeeding, they fail, because they did not know how to do what they undertook. Most of us have to begin in a small way, because there was no silver spoon in our mouths when we were born; so, then, the sooner we begin in a small way the sooner shall we succeed in a big way. LIBERIA WILL GET THE $5,600,000 LOAN After as long a drawn out game of ring chewing and hemming and hawing as has ever characterized Congressional filibustering over a proposed measure, the House of Representatives has at last authorized the loan of $5,000,000 to Liberia, West Africa, promised by the Wilson Administration. On the passage of the measure there was a wild scene of vulgar debate between Republicans and Democrats which lowered the good name of the House of Representatives and served no good purpose. The Southern Democrats in Congress are a very queer lot, and have always been, on the race question. They do not appear to grow any better with time. This is to be regretted. Altho the Liberian loan was promised by the Wilson Administration the Democrats in Congress opposed it because the Republicans, now in the majority, supported it in the final action authorizing it. There is no possible explanation of that sort of conduct. If a proposition is good it should be supported; to antagonize it simply because you and yours may not get the credit for it, is decidedly malicious and harmful. There ought to be a united effort on the part of the Southern white journalists and ministers of the Gospel to compel Southern Congressmen to take a broader and more tolerant position on the race question. The hurtful legislation they propose, knowing it will not be acted upon, and the vulgar abuse of the Negro people they indulge in in debate, serves to injure the common interests of both races in the South. The responsible people of the South should make a determined stand against it in their newspapers and pulpits. We are all going to live in the South; we should all work together for the best interests of the South. EDITOR CLARENCE POE GROWING BROADER We have noticed with pleasure that Mr. Clarence Poe, the distinguished editor of the Progressive Farmer, is growing perceptibly in catholicity on the race question. He is far from being so antagonistic and dogmatic as he used to be. He is learning that there are two sides to the question. We are glad of this, we are glad because Poe. Poe is a very brainy man and a great power in moulding public opinion in North Carolina, and we should profit as much as other race groups by the use he makes of his brains and power. We are his fellow citizens, and he should not make racial distinctions in his splendid labors for the common welfare. His Lord does not expect him to do so. Mr. Poe thinks that cheap black labor makes for cheap white labor, so it does. It could not be otherwise where they both do the same sort of labor in the same communities. Mr. Poe says: "We have said, 'Educate a Negro and you spoil a hoe hand,' but would not the South be helped if we should 'spoil' half a million Negro hoe hands, encourage them to take places in 'public works' and thus lessen the overproduction of Negro-wage cotton? If we can raise the Negro's living standards, if we can 'mike' him want a better home and better living conditions, will not that save the white man's own higher standards from the dangers of cheap labor competition? We have taken no interest in compulsory education for Negro children, and yet so long as Negro children are kept out of school and in the fields, does not their competition lower crop prices and so help force white school children also out of the schoolhouse and into the fields? "But while favoring all agencies for improving, and elevating the Negro, must we not insist that the interests of both races will be promoted by encouraging members of each race to live in communities to themselves and thereby give concentrated support to their own schools, churches, and social life?" The first paragraph would negative the second if it could, but it can't. If Mr. Poe will labor with might and main to make possible to the fullest the idea in his first paragraph, the idea in his second will take care of itself, and for the best interest of all concerned. Briefs and Spices (UY S. J. C.) Fast living always warrants the final comment, "Gone but not forgotten." That "room on top" you hear so much about is overcrowded with rumors. What every, youth should know is that pluck is a great quality, but in the game of life the "P" is silent. Conun Doyle is quoted as having said, "Spirits can come back." Nobody doubts that, the question is, will will they. Nothing contributes to a woman's maturity as the thorough mastery of a still tongue. It begins to look as if twentieth century love is driving our youths to the pow-wows. Sometimes it looks as if prosperity is waiting for the 1922 graduate to furnish the impetus. Henry Ford is looking for a substitute for leather while the major portion of the rest of us are looking for a substitute for lethargy. The inventive genius who first perfects a radio controlled lawnmower can spend the balance of his life collecting the royalties. The announcement that there is great wealth dormant in Liberia comes at a very opportune time; but east or west, home is best. BOBBED HAIR CRAZE Oh, lovely maidens with silken curls. And dainty tripping feet, We are wont to admire your desires. You are so winsome and sweet. But why cut off? thy womanly curls. Just to keep up with a fad, Reflect a bit and discard the outrage. That is driving America mad. It used to be cheaper to move than pay rent. We insist that it's still cheaper providing you employ the van by the day. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE POSTAL EMPLOYEES Editor Journal and Guide, Sir: Your editorial under the caption "Colored Postal Employees," in your issue of the 13th, inst., brings to attention an ugly phase of America's fatal malady. America, in the opinion of many competent to judge, is in a state of moral decadence. And your stinging rebuke against unrighteous and injustice, which ought single on the ear of a guilty nation, will, year, have but the effect of "the voice of one crying in the wilderness." It would be helpful in averting an impending disaster however, if every white American read Lyman Abbott's Perils of Democracy, or if every col- ored American read Carter G. Woodson's A Century of Negro Migration. Studying these two, I am alternately appalled and exhilated, as I look forward to the future. Editor Journal and Guide: Sir:—With this issue of the "Journal and Guide," will be found most of the schools, colleges and universities taking on activities preparatory to closing of the sessions of 1921-22. Examinations are already being conducted by some and others are preparing for the same. The question is, how many will graduate, and how many will fail? Let us hope that all will graduate. Let us hope that all graduating from the grammar school this year will enter the high school next year. Let us hope that all graduating from the high school this year will enter college next year. Of the large number of our graduates throughout the country, it will be of intense interest and very complimentary to note how the number of our graduates will increase by the several graduations of this year. There will be seen many loyal and loving mother and father, sister and brother and friends, finding their way to the several places of graduations, manifesting their interest and showing their appreciation for the success and accomplishments of their love-ones. The colleges, universities and normal and industrial schools will then, in a few days be the scene of educational activities. As for the various kinds of educations, available for us to acquire, let us hope that our people will continue to give to their children the benefit of industrial and professional education which will enable them to enter the world's industries and professions with as much skill, knowledge and dexterity as members of other races possess; and that for the purpose of securing competent men and women to lead the race in its struggle, for greater knowledge, purer character, nobler manhood and womanhood, we must encourage a higher education of our boys and girls. G. A. C. A REFLECTION Sir:—During the dark and terrible days of slavery, Mrs. Frances E. Harper, the race's famous poetess of that period, wrote a poem, addressed to the white women of America, in which are the following significant stanzas: Who weeps in her desolate home, You can mourn over the exile of Russia. From Kindred and friends doomed to roam. But hark; from our Southland are floating Sobs of anguish, murmurs of pain, And women, heart-stricken are O'er their tortured and slain. Have yo not, oh, my favored sisters, Just a plea, a prayer or tear For mothers who dwell 'neath the shadows Of ngony, haired and fear? Weep not, Oh my well-sheltered sisters. Weep not, for the Negro alone, But weep for your sons, who must gather The crops, which their Fathers have sown." That Mrs. Harper's words were prophetic then, were subsequently awfully attested by the flow of "the blood of the first-born," that made fertile the soil of over a hundred battlefields, during the Civil War, to atone for the crime of the white man, in treating "his brother-in-black" so cruelly for over 260 years. When the Associated Press flashed over the wires of the country one day last week the news of the savage and gruesome tragedy and holocaust of three human beings by an infurred and beastly mob of white Texans, Mrs Harper's prophetic words, written over 60 years ago, immediately recurrent to my mind As her prophecy eventually became true, regarding the wickedness of human slavery then, so likewise it will be verified, sooner or later, concerning the enormity of the crime of lynching, unless the Federal Government puts a stop to it unconditionally. "For whatsoever ye sow, that ye shall also reap." Keep not thou silent, O God. "Vengeance is mine, I'll repay, saith the Lord." CHAS. H. MOORE Greensboro, N. C. Virginia Baptist Con. church, Danville, $422; Rev. V. N. Johns, Court Street Baptist church. The afternoon Friday was a business and professional session presided over by Dr. A. L. Winslow, a prominent physician of Danville. Friday night the annual missionary sermon was preached by Rev. C. C. Harvey, and an address was delivered by one of the leading young men of the country, Hon. Watt Terry, of Brockton, Mass. Mr. Terry is a native of Virginia, but at an early age went up in New England where he has won fame and fortune. He is an active member of the Baptist church, and is devoting his life to business. Saturday morning the closing session of the Convention was held. LIBERIANSTO USE LOAN FOR GOOD ROADS (Continued from Page One) to fight to save France and fight to save the freedom of white men fight to save the freedom of white men, they can fight for themselves. Hence the belligerent feeling is strong. 2. Then there is a rapid coherence of these intelligent African people, who openly preach organization for self-preservation against the threatened white domination. In fact, they are demanding the organization of an Ethiopian church, so that they may have nothing to do with "the white man's religion. 3. Holesvist agents from Russia are asked to work among them to influence race feeling and the race agitation of the American Negro tends to arouse hope along this line. We were greatly surprised to know how familiar they are with the Garvey movement and the operations of the National Association for the Protection of the Darker Races. 4. The general, unrest and revolt of the darker races throughout Asia, notably in India and in Egypt, seem to reverberate throughout Africa. So the entire continent seems to be a smouldering volcano, that may break forth with a terrific confusion some of these days. BRITISH CHARGER REVOLT BISHIP CHARGES REVOLT In discussing the African problem, a British magazine, a few weeks ago, charged that secret societies were being organized for the purpose of throwing off the yoke of white oppression and the writer goes on further to say that they are "Masonic Lodges." We are not prepared to endorse this statement. We saw but two-Masino lodges while there. But, whatever movement that may be made to make Africa free, and to establish a great African empire in "our Fatherland" must find asylum and encouragement in the republic of Liberin. The doors are tightly closed elsewhere. In our next article, we shall tell something about the educational and missionary needs and work in Liberin. in securing your homesite in Lincoln Pa or Oakwood Ter Lincoln Park Oakwood Terrace You will have CITY IMPROVEMENT such as Electric Lights and Concrete EXCELLENT CAR SERVICE Considering these advantages and that we give you a home site far larger than the average city, about half the price—Don't you think be unwise to pass up this opportunity?

Samuel Chapman Armstrong, who served as Hampton's principal from 1868 to 1893. William Davis, a slave, who was born near Norfolk in 1808, served as an overseer on his master's plantation; conducted church service in the new Hampton Institute; issued U. S. Government rations to the freedmen; traveled and spoke throughout the North and East in behalf of the education of the freed colored people or "contrabrands" as they were known in the early days; and induced the American Missionary Association to appoint a new teacher at the school in Hampton. This new teacher happened to be Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong. Up to his death in 1904 William Davis was a warm friend of Hampton Institute. He sent his sons to this institution. He also sent his seven sons to Hampton. A third generation of the Davis family is passing through the Whittier Training Institute and enter Hampton Institute and keep alive a cherished family tradition.

PRIMARY TOPIC - How the Lost Bible Went Found. JUNIOR TOPIC - Hilkiah Discover the Lost Bible INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC- How to hake the Bible Our Own YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC The Authority and Influence of the Bible. 1. How The Bible Came To Be Lost, (2 Chron. 31:13:25.) Few books have had greater influence on the human mind than the work of Jesus. Did they down to us? When Aristotle was about to die, he bequeathed his manuscript to a disciple, Theophrasus, he to one Nebulus. This man on account of war raging, bid the enemy to kill him, and dying soon after, forgot to tell anyone what he had done with the manuscripts. Thus for two hundred years after he were buried from sight, Insects, molds and other This man on account of war raging, bid the treasure in a collar, ind, dying soon after, and dying soon after, all prove what he had done with the manuscripts. Thus for two hundred years the works of Aristotle were buried from sight, and many other destructive agencies had eaten into the text, but we owe it to an accident that a book collector, Ampellion of Teos, discovered the manuscript before it was totally destroyed. The king's reigns of Manesseh and Amon that the Jews lost their Bible. The temple was closed, the worship of the true God was neglected. These kings built places and worshipped idol gods. Even the monasteries were erected altars or lords worshipped. Is the Bible lost to day? "Even though faith in the Bible is not gone, it may be practically lost through sheer neglect. We are so incumbent with the pleasures of life, so hot-footed in the pursuit of the almighty dollar, that we have left little or no time for the perusal of the Bible." J Rey, P. S. Hesson, D. D. (2 How. The Lost Bible "Is Found." 2 How. The Lost Bible "Is Found." "From the day of Jesus and Nehemiah, of Savonarola, Voyage and Luther, right on to our revivals, the opening of a colored Bible has been followed inevitably by a time of progress and liberation while we Germany "what are the result of closing an open Bible."—P. Whitwell Wilson. The finding of the book of the law was not altogether an accident. The zeal and righteousness of the good king Josiah and the faithfulness of the good king Joshua were in the finding of the book of the law Josiah did that, which was right in the eyes of Jehovah; while yet young, he sought after Jehovah; he purged Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed Hilkiah, requiring the temples of mon. If Hilkiah had not been zealous for the worship of Jehovah; if the king and the priest had not been anxious to repair the temple and to restore the worship of Jehovah, the law might not have been found. Somebody has said that, "The Bible cannot be lost. If every Bible in the world were destroyed, the good men of the world would and could reproduce it from their hearts." 3. The Bible and Influence of the Bible — 1938. When King Josiah heard the book of the law read, he was deeply affected; rent his clothes, and sent to inquine of the prophetess Huldah what should be done. The book of the law revealed the true condition of the spiritual decline. So the king asked the people of Judah and Jerusalem and had the law read in their ears. And king Josiah made a covenant with Jehovah, to walk after Him and to keep His commandments, and he compelled all the people to stand to this covenant. Josiah destroyed idolatry in the land of Judah and made kernel to scour the earth, and while he lived the people departed not from following Jehovah, the God of their fathers. If the Bible was lost to the world, Prof. Austin Phelps says, "We should lose our knowledge of the true God and become as degraded as the worst institutions of benevolence would pass away our hospitals, asvils, charities, homes for the aged and for little children. All our public schools would go, our libraries, our free press, our post offices, art museums, telegraphs and telephones, our government and comforts of our daily lives. Our liberty would go, and the institutions of freedom would cease, homes would become unholy, women would become degraded, children would be unchecked, possession would rage unchecked, cannibalism war would be the chronic condition of society, hatred and terror and the most wretched poverty and misery would be the lot of every human being. That is only a feeble picture of what continued influence of the Bible means to civilization and Christianity would perish from the earth. SECOND CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH. Sunday school.

Returned To The City From Conference Mr. Walter Smith, a delegate from the Washington and Philadelphia Annual Conference to the General Conference, of the Colored M. E. Church which was held at St. Louis, Mo. in Lane Tatebacle C. M. E. Church, corner of Enright and New- stead Sts. Dr. N- wenthead Sts. past died from Sts. 162, 162, has returned o the city." --- Mr. Smith is the author of a revolution for the increase of Lay Delegates from four to eight from each Presiding Elder District. The purpose of the resolution is to get more Lay Delegates to the Sunday Conference. By this means the Sunday Conference League may be able to have a delegate in that number, who will help to make laws for their departments. Four Bishops were elected, Drs. M. Martin, J. A. Hammett, R. J. Brown, M. Hammett, and the 16th quadrennial session of the General Conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. More than a thousand delegates attended the session. The second time that Mr. Smith has been a Lay Delegate to the General Conference. Four years ago he was sent to Chicago, Ill. He is an active officer of St. Luke Chuch in this city. He was introduced to the General Conference by Bishop R. O. William Conference by Ga, as the young man who made a petition to give Norfolk, Va., the first C. M. E. Church. Norfolk now has WOMEN-EVERYWHERE Women were first licensed to act women's parts on the stage by Charles II, in 1662. Up to that time feminine parts had been played by men and boys. A woman proposes to ride a bicycle across the continent, and by way of training is now pedaling from her home to New York City. For centuries it has been the rule that no woman who has been married shall take part in the Passion Play at Oberammergau, but this year the rule is to be broken by the Virgin Mary of 1910, who married the promoter of that year's play. She thought then that she would never play again, but her husband, having served the commander, as a mark of sympathy for the widow, has decided that she might act as understudy to the new Mary this year. Two women who had booked passage on a liner for New York missed the boat train in London. They hurried to the air station, engaged an airplane and reached Southampton a few minutes before the boat sailed. The distance between the first Whig party vote and the abolition of slavery was long, equally long was the distance between the first prohibition and nation problems. We lived to see both of these accomplishments. Does your husband pay his poll taxes? No. You pay them for him and when the time comes to vote your vote be represented by your votes. Your vote be represented by you cannot afford to neglect it. Let us teach our men a lesson in politics. QUESTIONS and ANSWERS Dear Mrs. Dixon: Please answer my letter at an early date. I am twenty years old and have not had a chance to get an education. Do you think it is too late for me to try to learn something? What would you advise me to do? There are no night schools here. —EVA. Do not think of being satisfied with your limited education. Where there is a will you can make a way. Get some one to teach you privately and when you have time read. Reading with a purpose. You can learn almost anything if you are patient enough. 4. PROBLEM How can I tell my child the things it should know. —ANXIOUS MOTHER. A mother should pave the way for confidential chats with her children when they are very young. No subject should be entirely avoided. The next best thing to do is to put good books into their hands. "Almost A Man," and "Almost A Woman," are two little books that every child should read. They can be bought at any good book store. Mrs. Alcott's books, "Little Women," "Little Men," and "Jos's Boys," are rare gems that will delight any child. Get these books and they will answer your purpose. When do you start Asters? Are they profitable as a market flower? An early answer will be appreciated. —ROSE. Asters are started in bed during May, they are later set out in vows. Care and rich soil will pay you with fine blooms. They are very useful. 二 C. M. E. Churches, St. Luke and two Garrett Temple. Mr. Smith has been married more than 18 years and is father of several children. His older daughter Miss Alice L. Smith will graduate from the Boston High School) next month. The young daughter, Miss Mary E. Smith will graduate from the J. C. Price School at the same time. Mr. Walter Smith Jr., at present is a student of Hampton Normal School. Mr. Smith has been employed at the City Armory Hall for nearly 25 years. The Passing of a Pastor On this eve of my parting, I recall the day of my coming to this city and to the Shiloh Baptist Church. It was more than a dozen years ago, and as those years have passed many have bidden my experience. I came to Shiloh I found the membership very small and with the years many of them have passed into the beyond. Others have come in their stead, but they too are passing. So we all are passing. Either to our where or to the fields of service. As I pass, I not only recall my coming, and the condition of things as I found came to Shiloh I found the wounded bership very small and with the years many of them have passed into the beyond. Others have come in their stead but they are passing. So we all are passing. Either to our reward or to other fields of service. As you may see, only recall my coming, and the condition of things as I found them, but I recall the toll and labor, the sorrow that have accompanied me. I recall also the fellowship and friendship which I have had with men in every walk of life, and especially with my associates in the work of it, and it is happy that now (and it is happy that now) hearty expressions of good will that I have received from all classes of people since the announcing of my passing. This coming Sunday will close my work here, I shall be glad, and I will remember the years come and go. I shall look back with happy reflections upon the days of my sojourn among them. It shall ever be my prayer that the blessings of the Lord, will attend the events of the yeathers (the ministers) and dear old Sihoh whom I love so well. Amen. Mrs. Dixon: I know this is not a lover's corner, but do you think it wrong to bestow a good night kiss. Most of the girls do this and if a girl refuses she is stamped as queer. I hope to see an answer very soon. —NEZ. No matter what your friends pre-do it, it is very improper to kiss men misluciously. When a girl kisses every beau good night what has she to offer the right man when he comes along? Besides being vulgar, kissing is unhealthy. I am planning to go to a distant city to work. I do not know any one there and am afraid of getting into the wrong lodging place. Please advise me what to do. Do you approve of girls going away to the PERPLEXED. Write a letter to the colored branch of the Y. W. C. A. of the city to which you are going and ask them to send some one to meet you. Make the Association your home until you have a few things at least. I approve girls staying near home and mother. HOMELY HINTS Eat more raisins, they are rich in iron, contain a pure fruit sugar and are mildly laxative. Raisins stewed and spread over any cereal make an appetizing breakfast food. Rice pudding with raisins is delicious. Practical jokes with their inevitable humiliation and deep hurt are in bad taste even in the free atmosphere of the home. Give the children a real part in the family life they will acquire dignity and self possession. Give an excellent example so that the little women may imitate us, and become, as we want them to become, gentle mannered and gracious. Foot ills are caused by tight shoes, to cure them correct your footwear and allow nature to do the work. BY MIRIAM DIXON "My mother admires the Journal and Guide (and I shall read it too when I grow up." JOIN THE BROWNIES CLUB The Brownies Club, with one idea—“Do something for somebody”—will begin with this issue. All children under sixteen years are eligible. The only rule is to do a real kindly act and let us know about it. Your letters telling what you did will be published to encourage others. You will also have five really useful things during one week will have honorable mention in our department, and those keeping this record for four consecutive weeks will receive a club pin. Yes. I know it is different; most of us know a fine thing: display our ability, but do you know true greatness lies in service? “It’s more blessed to give than to receive.” Get busy. Do something. Are there any old and infirm persons in your neighborhood? Run in before school and chop some wood. I know of a girl who served crippled gentlemen faithfully at a host, because it is a pleasure. Brownies are known by their kindly deeds. Be a Brownie indeed and make our club a success. Don't cost anything to join. Send us your picture. We are going to have a Brownie studio. CHILDREN'S STORIES Laurence stood with the crowd outside of the grocery store window and read the sign: "$50.00 for the nearest correct guess as to the number of beans in the jar."

For Any Information Write Sending a 2et Stamp For Reply her health was beginning to break and the doctor said she needed a month in the country to restore her overworked nerves. Nothing he could think of would supply the needed money; here was his chance. The more he thought about it the easier he could think of course, was not the mother's help, but consider the honest thing to do but there was his sacrifice was not too much for mother. Mr. White was in the habit of closing early Friday nights and when the key turned in the lock little Laurence of surplus stock in the back of the store. When everything was quiet, he took the jar from its accustomed place, and sitting on the floor near a back window, tried to count the broad, white lines. The moon looked in upward, and the light on the floor or twice a cloud covered its face and shut out the light, but the little boy grim with determination did not hesitate, but counted until the last bean was out of the jar, then gathering up carefully he placed the pair in the room because it was when he entered the store. It was an easy matter to leave the building by a rear window, climb down in the ally and run home. The scheme was a complete success, but his heart asked so. For a long time he sat in the side of the house he could not say his prayers now that he had acted dishonestly. For mother, he thought, and some day I will pay the old money back, he said almost aloud. The following Saturday the bens were taken and little Lauren Brown was awarded the fifty dollars for the nearest correct guess. The papers spoke of the contest and added that the money would be used to give his mother a much needed rest. Six weeks later a very penitent yellow loaf from Whit's store and making a complete fession offered to work out the fifty dollars by carrying packages. The old gentleman with tears in his eyes consented and no one was the wiser. Lawrence worked faithfully until the money was repaid, but he never forgot the horrors of the six weeks immediately following his fall from grace. SOMETHING NEW There's something new at our house, I am surprised you do not know it. It mates daddy feel awful proud, Although he hates to show it. The thing is not so very big, Best money couldn't buy it; If a fellow thinks it could, I'd like to see him try it. It's half a dozen things in one, A dove, a love a flower. Mother calls it a hundred names, And new ones every hour. It's just a little tuning box, With tunes for every minute. You haven't got one at your house, And so you are not in it. It puckers up its wee, wee mouth, As if it meant to whistle. A gold mine weighed against it then, Is lighter than a thistle. Daddy said so the other night, And I thought it sounded splendid. So I said it to myself until, I fell asleep and ended. I know you've guessed it by this time, Our gift that come from Heaven, Mother declares the darling thing, Was by the angels given. MY STORY OF BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Dy Bessie Lee Dixon, 6 years old—B-1, Grade John. T. W. School Once there was a very poor boy, he said that he could not remember his father. His mother was dead, so he stayed with Mrs. Ruffin. Mrs. Ruffin taught Booker how to sweep a room clean and how to dust a room too. One day he heard some men talking, he heard one say that there was a school in Hampton, so Booker left Mrs. Ruffin's and went to Hampton. Booker swept and dust, and he swept it three or four times until it was clean, then he dusted it perfectly. Then the lady came in and took a clean handkerchief and went over at the door. Booker swept and dust, she found. Booker went to school in Hampton and in about two years he was leading his class. He then went to high school and learned Shorthand and French. Then he left that school when he met the world and it grew larger and larger and he spoke for people. When he died he was the head of the largest colored school in this country.

Endorses Invitation The invitation of the Negro Chamber of Commerce to the National Negro Business League, to hold its annual convention in this city August 16th to 18th, inclusive, has received the support of the Chamber of Commerce—Board of Trade of Norfolk, through a communication sent to Dr. Robert R. Moton, the president of the League by Mr. W. A. Cox, secretary of the Board of Trade. Mr. Cox assures the president of the Negro Business League that every bit of cooperation possible will be extended by the organization of which he is the secretary. Dr. Moton, on behalf of the Negro Business Men has expressed appreciation of the invitation from the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce—Board of Trade. Scissored Commenting on the latest fad reported by cable from the other side, of a henna bath for the purpose of effecting a change of complexion, the Greensboro Daily News said somewhat sarcastically: In order to achieve a complexion of olive hue, ultra society women in London have started a henna bath cult. This tints their skin in such a fashion as makes it look well with evening dresses of oriental design and shades, now very popular in the British capital. In other words, a "high yellow" skin is the latestubition of a lot of white hair. A correspondent sent us the above clipping with the remark that the editorial only goes to prove that the Negro is not the only race that ups other folks and tries, sometimes, to shake off racial peculiarities. For warmth and variety of coloring, the Negro race in American can lay it all over any other race in the world. With the growth of artistic taste and exotic standards of beauty, the favorite type of complexion may well be found within the ranks of this race. As a noted explorer and scientist recently pointed out, the highest type of beauty in his opinion was found among the women of Liberia. In the meantime, as a morsel of consolation for the current preposition in favor of bleached skins, it is well to remember those two old saws to the effect that "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" and "Handsome is as handsome does."—New York Age.
