NO ARRESTS MADE; NO ACTION TAKEN The lynching of four men in Texas two weeks ago, when the victims were burned at the stake, was followed during the past week by other outbreaks of the mob, amounting almost to an epidemic. A fifteen year old boy charged with murdering a woman at Davidsboro, Ga., was burned alive. One of his companions was chased away. His parents and other members of his family were threatened with death and were only saved from the mob by law officers, who spirited them away.

SOUTHERN WOMEN ASK THAT LAW BE UPHELD SOUTHERN WOMEN ASK THAT LAW BE UPHELD Demand Justice For All And Organize Inter-Racial Committee. Urge One Standard Of Moral For Women Of Races. Nashville, Tenn.—Leading white women of Arkansas met in Little Rock, in April, organized a branch of the State Committee on Inter-Racial Cooperation, and gave to the public a vigorous address demanding for the people of all races a square and equal place. Stating that public sentiment concerning the Negro has too long been formed by prejudice, passion, indifference and ignorance, they declared their purpose to study the question with open mind and help create a public sentiment which would about us, make impossible the present forms of lawlessness and disrespect for the courts, and remove contempt for and exploitation of human life." Among the most serious phases of the civil problem at present, said the committee, is "a lack of respect and protection for Negro woman hood." They therefore pledged themselves "to emphasize a single standard in morals for both men and women, to the end that the integrity of both races may be guaranteed, that the test of character of an individual or a race is to be found in its attitude toward those who are weaker and whose opportunities have been less, the committee appealed for a spirit of justice, helpfulness and cooperation for the Negro. This year's larger opportunity and longer period of development. Mrs. W. D. Reeves, of Helena was elected chairman, and Mrs. Clio Harper, of Little Rock, secretary. The membership of the committee includes prominent representatives of the various civic and religious organizations an organization in each community to forward the principles for which the committee stands. Within the last few months similar organizations have been effected by the women of Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Tennessee. It is believed that movement among the women of the South promises much for the future peace and well-being of both races. Miss Annette G. Harrison, of "A" Avenue left Monday to attend the closing exercises of Kittrell College, Kittrell, N. C., and return home with her brothers, Mersus Herman and Lawrence, who are students there.

HOW A TEXAS MOB WORKS In the midst of the debris shown in this picture are the charred remains of three men who were burned at the stake by a Texas mob, part of whom are shown calmly viewing their work. The men were chained to the iron seat of a plow. One is said to have confessed to having killed a girl, the other two died protesting their innocence.—P. & A. Photo. QUEEN ST. CHURCH HAS BIG REVIVAL Rev. Alexander Willbanks, Of Washington, D. C., Conducts Stirring Revival Here. Many Hit The Sawdust Trail. HAS BIG CROWDS EVERY NIGHT For the past two weeks Rev. Alexander Willbanks, of Washington, D. C., famed as the black Billy Sunday, has been conducting a revival at Queen Street Baptist Church. Rev. Willbanks is a soul-stirring gospel preacher a preacher of the old school, one who preaches that straight-out "Eternal Fire for the unrighteous" kind of gospel. The unrighteous kind of gospel by means misapplied to him, for he certainly has many of the famous evangelist's characteristics in the pulpit. He has been given a crowded house each service and each night he has worked from the pulpit to the pulpit of Jesus Christ and "Him crucified" and putting the "Devil" on the run. Rev. Willbanks from all appearances will tip the scales quite a few pounds over the three hundred mark, but with all this weight he has the ability to skipping from side to side on the platform, like a kitten after a ball, again he is sitting in the big arm chair again on his knees then outstretched on the mat; but all the time his powerful voice is calling unto his impulse to repentance. Nor does the hold him, for down the aisles he goes among the congregation, picking out here and there by his tactful methods someone who admits he has never confessed the Christ. He pictures to himself the life with the damned and infuses him to seek refuge with the saved. Many of the hard hearted have hit the sawdust trail under the spell of of Dr. Willbanks and his spiritual power, and indeed it must be mighty the same for man Satan and his cohorts around Queen Street Baptist church these times. And the congregation is right there with the preacher. They sing like folks used to sing when they got that "Old Time Religion." In fact it is an old time revival where praising Lord goes on unabated. There is no need to add anything toward working up the spiritual emotions, for those strong and frequent calls to the "Master" by the prayer leaders and those old time spirituals sung with the unison of a thousand voices serves effectually enough to get the "spirit" a moving force. Rev. Wilbanks was called home to Washington Saturday night on account of sickness of a relative, but he was back in the pulpit at Queen St. Church on Monday night, although he complained of weariness from his trip and preaching at home Sunday, none of his fire was missed Monday night, launching out into his sermon he gave his gaze towards the Heavens and with a fervent roar of his voice called on the God above to strengthen him for the task. He cried out, with a skip from one side of the platform, to the other that "Satan can keep a congregation in the dance hall until two o'clock in the morning but Christians cannot rewind in their o'clock in the young people," the preacher, are not sticking to the religion of their mothers and fathers, the religion of the fireside but are NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1922 rushing madly into destruction." Rev. F. W. Williams, the pastor usually lines out the lesson Hymns and helps to keep the spiritual fire aburning until Dr. Willbanks takes the pulpit. The revival has been a great success.

MEMORIAL EXERCISES THROUGHOUT THE CITY LIBERIA IN GREAT NEED OF SCHOOLS Liberia University Once Presided Over By Dr. Blyden Abandoned. Not A Single Public School In The Whole Country. (This is the third article in the series Dr. Brown is writing on his recent observations in Liberia.—Editor.) During our visit, we had the good pleasure of visiting many of the mission stations, not only those supported by the Lott Carey Convention, but those of other denominations. We also made it a point to meet and converse with the leaders and superintendents, most of whom reside in Monrovia. We were greatly surprised to find that there was not a single public school in the country. We made an attempt to visit Liberia College, once presided over by the distinguished Dr. Blyden. This building was erected on a high rocky elevation near the ocean, and a more difficult site to reach could not have been found. We spent a Sunday afternoon trying to get near enough to take a "snap shot" but the way was impassable because of the rocks that filled the way, and the brushes, vines and briefs that surrounded it on every side. It is useless to say that no school is going on there. The building has been abandoned, and has become fearfully delapidated. What is left of the school is a few boys that are being taught down in the city in a rented house. A republic can not be built up without schools. The people must be enlightened. There are several fairly good churches in the city—two or three Methodist churches, one Baptist church built by Lott Carey, and an Episcopal church. The Episcopal church is the most aristocratic condition in the city. Weeping them on Sunday morning in order to see "the best" in Liberia. We enjoyed the service; the ushers were exceedingly courteous, and the entire congregation, old and young, participated in the service. The Providence church, built by Lott Carey, is pastored by one of our missionaries. Weeping them on the Episcopal church were officially received by the citizens in this church, at which time several valuable African souvenirs were presented to us. Bishop Brooks, formerly of Baltimore, made one of the welcome addresses. Dr. Brooks was elected bishop of Liberia and Seirre Leone. He building in Monroeville. He did not appear sanguine over the mission work there. He realizes that it will require much money and many workers to put over a decent program. We went to Cape山堡冲, but were unable to land because of rough seas. Here Rev. Boly had labored in former years, but the station has been maintained here a good station and a small hospital. Their convocation was in session while we were there. We did not visit Goud Bassa, but we heard that the stations there were suffering for money and men. Dr. Amiger, superintendent of the National Baptist Convention work, was the first time with us, and discussed freely disclosures that he had in trying to establish work in Liberia. The Lott Carry Convention has nineteen workers in Liberia. We found them busy and held in high esteem by the people. We have by far the strongest force of workers in the country. Our school at Brewersville is commanding the attention of the people generally. While there we dedicated "Alexander Chapel," in the presence of a large audience of natives among there were over a dozen native chiefs. In Berberia. We are erecting there another building for boys to cost ten thousand dollars. We have a splendid school at Careysburg, and two others at other points. We also entered into an agreement with the Liberian brethren support teachers at Rick's Institute. (Continued on page four) Little Bay Beach. Datea Taken. June 14—Hawthorne Club (Berkley).

Norcum At Portsmouth In Debate The debating team of Booker, T. Washington High School won the decision over the Huntington High School's team of Newport News in affirming the question, Resolved: "That the 18th Amendment to the Constitution has proved beneficial to the United States, in a triangular debate with Huntington, and I. C. Norcum High School of Portsmouth. The triangular debate is an annual feature with these schools and its purpose is to foster more friendly relations between the Tidewater high school and to augment educational sentiment in the communities. The team was encouraged that each home team would defend the affirmative side of the question while each visiting team would have the negative side; that is, Booker T. affirmed at Norfolk and at the same time a team denying at Portsmouth against I. C. Norcum, while I. C. Norcum against the affirmative at Portsmouth it had a team at Newport News upholding the negative, while Newport News affirmed at home and denied at Norfolk. Mr. Richard Bright, Miss Eva Tucker and Mr. Horace Gray contended for Booker Washington against Mr. John Gill, Miss Lula Jordan and Mr. Harry Stewart of Huntington High School. The question was hotly contested and although the home team won that reflects no discredit upon the visiting trio as debaters. The argument of both sides was so convincing and the general ability of each team averaged so nearly equal that few verdicts could be sure of the verdict before it was announced. When Prof. Jacox announced the decision the home teams' supporters gave forth tremendous applause and yells, but the Professor cooled their enthusiasm somewhat when he followed up the announcement by adding that Booker T. Washington and lost to I. C. Norcum in Portsmouth at the end of the season. The folk. Mr. Arthur Wills, Miss Ethel Cowling and Miss Nellie Jones carried Booker Washington's colors to Portsmouth. Messrs. G. W. C. Brown, H. C. Brown and S. B. Nobile served as judges in Norfolk. Prof. Dungee, principal of John T. West school favored the "Fidelity with a institution entitled "Fidelity in Black," the splendid rendition of which was a very enjoyable feature. Music was furnished by the High School Orchestra and the Harmony Club with a solo by Miss Millie Markham. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Jackson of Johnson Ave. entertained Rev. S. D. McDuffie and Rev. and Mrs. T. V. Cotton at dinner day evening. Mr. Grandison Puryear of Church St., was called to Philadelphia, Pa., by the death of his sister Mrs. Lucy Roe, Sunday morning. Man Tries To Take His Life When Wife Insists On Working Will Address Norfolk Audience NOTED SCHOLAR TO SPEAK HERE Col. Robt. T. Kerlin, Ex-Professor of Va. Military Institute, a Friend of The Race, At Bank Street Church May 31st. The appearance of Col. Robt. T. Kerlin at Bank Street Baptist Church, Wednesday night, May 31st under the usuices of the committee of one hundred will afford Norfolk citizens an opportunity to hear the foremost Southern church of interracial amity and justice without respect to color. Col. Kerlin's views on the injustice of the laws as enforced in Arkansas at the time ninety-two colored men were on trial for participating in the Elaine riots cost him his professor at the Virginia Military Institute. Col. Kerlin, as a professor of the famous Virginia Military School dared to speak out against the court procedure employed at the trial and expressed doubt as to the guilt of the convicted men in an open letter to Gov. McFaul, of Arkansas. The letter and so informed the Board of Visitors of the Institute who promptly requested Prof. Kerlin's resignation. Upon his refusal to resign he was fired. A few of the most pungent paragraphs of the professor's letter to the governor read as follows: "He was dealt with according to justice, according to the principles of civilized and humane government?" * * * "It is a doed to be contemplated with extreme horror. In the execution of those men a race is suffering crucifixion, entreat you to take them in your arms, and give it an hours earnest consideration, as before the Eternal Judge." "Nor did they use those arms but in self-defense. It was not until that church Hoop Spur, filled with men, entered in a lawful meeting was at night in any Negro fired a shot. Then in the days of 'riot' following were not the Negroes of Phillips County indiscriminately hunted, harried and shot down like beasts of the jungle? city or sixty Negroes, four or five men, which were the riot killed. Was this a riot of the blacks or of the white?" "**" "You have appointed June 10th as the date of execution for those six men. Until that day they have a respite to prepare for their appearance of all the earth. The Judge have you; for you, too, though in the flesh, shall that day stand before the throne of Almighty God, to be judged.

WANTS TO LIVE A BETTER LIFE NOW Alexander Homer residing on Douglass St., Lincoln Park, Portsmouth, attempted to take his own life late Saturday afternoon by swallowing a dose of poison. Homer stated that he was despondent because his wife went out to do work at a factory and he did not want her help. Neighbors say that Alexander was in the habit of accompanying his wife to her work place every morning, all the time persuading her to give up her job and stay at home. Mrs. Homer told friends that Alexandra's pay we small and his work not too large, so she worked to help meet the family income needed to meet their needs, although her husband had always objected to it. Saturday morning as usual he accompanied her part of the way to her work and begged her more and more to give up her job, but Mrs. Homer had no idea that way. Despairing of ever making such as he did, late Saturday afternoon he took what he thought would be a fatal dose of poison. Upon learning of his rash act the family immediately summoned Dr. J. Homer, whose quick action probably saved his life. He is out of danger now, and states that he has entirely changed his mind about wanting to die, in fact he wants to live—and to live better than ever, as he intends 'joining the church and living a Christian life hereafter.' Mrs. Maggie Homor, his wife worked at the Portsmouth Veneer Mills on the Belt Line R. R. They have one child. Colored M. E.

Editor SUBSCRIPTION PRICE One year, $2.00. Six months, $1.00, Three months, 65c. Payable in advance Advertising rates furnished upon application. Foreign Advertising Representative, W. B. Ziff Co.,Chicago, Ill., and New York City. Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office at Norfolk, Va. SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1922 When the National Negro Business League comes to Norfolk in August it will find the old town hitting its stride on all six cylinders. Admiral Dillingham has again pulled down his flag. This time it is to retire as Norfolk's director of public safety. His resignation is cause for regret. Not all of his policies were carried out but enough of them survived a strange atmosphere to greatly improve upon the city's police and fire departments. --- It is significant that when one particularly atrocious lynching occurs it is followed by a veritable epidemic of mob outrages. The fact is that the advertising given to the execution of one victim by a mob incites the mob spirit in other localities, and lynchings occur in rapid succession upon the slightest pretexts, although each mob undertakes to justify its action by fastening some crime upon its victim. --- "Stop your crimes and we will stop lynching," says the lynchocrat. Spend more for education of the neglected blacks of the South and there will be fewer crimes. No one ever heard of a Negro with a fair amount of education being lynched for crime. Education—there is your remedy for mob rule. Education for blacks and education for whites will wipe out the stain upon America's fair name. --- Anarchy is competing with organized government for control in two American cities—Chicago, Illinois and Columbus, Georgia. In each case organized government's present delimma may be attributed to blinking at mob rule. In its early stages outlawy is usually the controllable pot or instrument of designing politicians; then, suddenly obsessed with its importance it grows overnight beyond the control of its creators and destroys them along with a good deal of civilization. VIRGINIA'S PAGAENT They are holding a plegent in Richmond to commemorate the beginning of Virginia history. On the opening day it rained in torrents; Gov. Trinkle's horse ran away and injured several persons; the governor's chauffeur was accidently injured by coming in contact with a pool of electrically charged water; an officer of the State militin fell dead off his horse. Pretty bad start. But one is reminded that the first Virginians fetched over a boat-load of Africans to clear the way for the march of events when it was decided to make history here. Better get some Negroes into the next pagent. It looks like bad luck to leave them out. CALLED TO NEW FIELD It is not a rare thing for a minister to be called to a new field, so the changes thus brought about seldom are the occasion for much comment. Not so, however, in the recent call to Rev. J. H. Ashy, former pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, of this city to the leading congregation of his denomination in Asbury Park, N. J. The expressions of regret at Rev. Ashy's going from Norfolk were citywide, and were not by any means confined to members of his church or of his denomination and race. Few citizens have made their influence in the community more effective for good. His was reflected in every phase of constructive community life and his place here will be hard to fill. He goes to his new field with the good-will and godspod of his fellow-citizens. CITY COUNCIL Several candidates including four of the encumbents whose terms are expiring, are seeking seats in city council at the approaching election. All of them are good men and each one has something in him to command him to the electorate. This newspaper, occupying the role of interested observer, does not see any special reason why there should be any changes in the personnel of city council at the present time. The old remark about not "changing horses in the middle of a stream" seems to fit our local municipal situation with appropriateness. The present council is in the midst of a big program for the development of Norfolk, which is the result of several years of careful study and planning, and which has just gotten under way. To retire from office any or all of the men who initiated this splendid program does not seem to be the part of wisdom. To inject new material into the administration would probably result in changes and delays in the execution of the present program that would be to Norfolk's disadvantage. Anything that will set back the progressive program of city development as started by the present administration will set us all back, and this is no time to contemplate such a prospect. The discreet voter will want to play safety first in the matter of choosing his councilmen. The encumbers have done well. Of course they have not pleased everybody and they have made some enemies. But results that show for themselves loudly commend them. Broadly speaking some of the candidates in the field are doubtless just as good, but the experience of the past few years and the knowledge of the city's present needs possessed by the encumbers place the others at a disadvantage. The need of a change does not appear. A NEW FEATURE THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE is constantly on the alert for new and original features that will combine to give our readers the best possible family weekly newspaper. The race newspaper has a special function, one that cannot be fulfilled by the daily or weekly newspaper of an opposite race or group. That special function is to stimulate race consciousness and to mirror the activities of its particular race or group so as to lend encouragement and inspiration for the onward march of progress. So when we run across a race man who has no interest in his race newspaper we put him down as a dead one, because he is really beyond the realm of usefulness. The best newspapers of the country feature the Sabbath School lessons in their columns. This feature is read by millions of Americans, young and old. It is conducted in syndicated form by the ablest Bible scholars. For this department the JOURNAL AND GUIDE has secured the services of Rev. John E. Briggs, teacher of the theology and the English Bible at Virginia Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va. His expositions of the Sabbath school lessons will appear weekly in our columns, and we feel sure that our thousands of readers will appreciate these contributions from a bible scholar and teacher of the race. There is another feature recently introduced which we are sure is meeting with increasing favor with our women readers and with the boys and girls, and that is the departments conducted especially for them by an enterprising race woman whose pen name is "Miviam Dixon." Our women and young people can help to make these departments of more interest and value by following Mrs. Dixon's timely suggestions regarding original contributions. In the "Brownies Club" movement the children will find much entertainment and information, as we expect to enlarge upon this feature in a way that will make it of real service. These departments are yet in their incipiency. They are not by any means up to the standards we have set for them, but through the cooperation of our readers and the zeenical labors of Mrs. Dixon we expect to attain our goal. Briefs and Spices (BY S. J. C.) The wit who said the Chinese are a peace loving people probably never heard of Gen. Chang. Fine thing about these flexible straw hats is they fit all heads, even swell heads. We have had a "National Smile Week," now the next is a "Truth Week." Isn't that just a bitt too personal. At the present rate of things dictionary definitions will soon have passed their stage of usefulness. For instance nowadays, bone-dry means partially wet and wet means literally dry. The buzzing of a political bee is no longer restricted to his domicile since the advent of the radio broadcasting fad. We would rather think that when an irresistible woman meets an immovable man co-operation settles it. The only complaint filed so far by the girls whose primary purposes involve entangling alliances is they're "rushed" to death. Torsoise shell eyeglasses make some men look intellectual, they say. Wonder how they look when they see them advertised for $2.00. WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME Us dread even drying the dishes; When we eat, we eat things; After from earthly cares, Where folks are not so hard to please In all the world's affairs."

LIBERIA IN GREAT NEED OF SCHOOLS Continued from Page Ono We also had the pleasure of visiting the Lutheran Mission at Lunenburg, and found here a good plant, and found need by Markers. The station presides over the Markers. The station presides over the Markers. The station has been wholly abandoned. We are convinced, that, if the Christian churches are to impress Liberia and Africa, they must give more liberally to establish schools and churches, and must supply a strong force of workers who are able to "endure hardness as good soldiers." The Mohammedans are pushing their way into every part of Africa, and are found disciples of Jesus in many of the stores on the coast Mohammedan books and the Koran for sale. In the weekly papers published in Frestown are strong articles setting forth the virtues of the Mohammedan religion. It is high time that Christians were aroused to the importance of saving Africa at any cost. Here the decisive battle between Christianity and heathenism and between Christianity and Mohammedanism was fought; and when such a battle it has it done, the world will be largely determined by the destiny of this great wild sleeping continent. The greedy trader has found Africa covered with wealth, diamond, gold, and iron, her forests rich in products,-palm trees, mahogany, ebony, rubber. These traders risk their lives by offering these treasures. They brutalize and slave the natives. What shall we do about it? The colored people of Amer- ican do more to save and redeem than any other people on the globe. Noted Scholar To Speak Here (Concluded From Page One) It is not mine to declare the oracles of God, but this is my profoundest conviction that upon you He has put this test. You might well deem yourself the most fortunate and honourable you has appointed you for this redemption task. To thrust it aside were to deny God—the refusal an atheist. After Col. Kerlin's dismissal from the V. M. I. many of the leading Stetson journals depicted the action of the Board of Visitors as subversive of free thought and free speech. Col. Kerlin states that he, has now dedicated his life to the 'cause' of promoting interracial amity and will open the forces of righteous loving love of both races to work to that end. The colonel is the author of the "Voice of the Negro," and other books. A Southerner by birth, tradition and residence, member of the State Inter-Racial Committee. When Col. Kerlin appears at Bank Street Church, Wednesday night, May 31st Norfolk citizens plan to hire a reception consistent with genuine respect of his labors in behalf of the race. A rare program has been arranged consisting of music, solos, folk lore, and spirituaries etc. The speaker has chosen for his subject, Dr. Demarco, a Drama professor subject he states "Affords him full opportunity to discuss interracial conditions."

J., Monday afternoon, May 16, at 1:30 p.m. Several reasons might be offered for Mr. Fitzgerald to be the Mayor or to these two race lenders in business transaction, but the one generally accepted is that Mr. Fitzgerald is an old pioneer in the commercial activities of Atlantic City. He is also the property on Kentucky Avenue, valued around $100,000, for more than thirty years. During that time he has built a reputation for cleanliness, pure food and excellence that has been surpassed or seldom equaled by others in his line of business. His reputation grew so strongly that finally the Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce, composed entirely of the giants of finance and industry, hired him as its membership certificate in that worthy organization several years ago. This in itself is distinction enough for one man to achieve, but Mr. Fitzgerald was not satisfied with this. He wanted a large enough to support a million dollar hotel, and with that idea in mind he set about sounding out the opinion of his neighbors, who agreed with him, and gave the : moral and financial support to his mission, which is too creating comment in every part of the country. Subscriptions to that great gigantic commercial enterprise are pouring into the office of the company. The enthusiastic investors and those who realize and appreciate the great need of just such an institution as the Hotel Fitzgerald will be when it is finished have sought to aid the organization in bringing new haps the uppermost in the mind of the Mayor Edward L. Bader, when he called around to the North Kentucky hostelry and stood with Mrs. Cecil De Lande and Mr. Fitzgerald as the camera man snapped the picture. The De Lande, wealthy New Yorkers, are making extensive preparations for the informal banquet, which will celebrate the opening of the cafe under the new management on Saturday evening, May 10, at the chairman of the arrangement committee, Wilfred R Bain, has already signified his intention to be present at that time.

THE WAR RECORD OF NEGROES IN RICHMOND The record of the Negro race under the Selective Service in the World War should be a source of tremendous pride, not only to Richmond, but outloud the South, and especially to the members of the Negro race... The local boards held high expectations as to the conduct of Negro registrants. Every expectation was met so fully as to answer the jingo agitators of both races. For willingness to do the duty assigned, for trust in the Government to treat every man fairly, for eagerness to be of service to his country, and for enthusiastic co-operation of the Government plans and institutes of the Government of the colored people of this city is in no way below that of their white neighbors. The opportunities of the Negroes to enlist or to volunteer were comparatively limited. There was, generally speaking, no great encouragement for them to volunteer, and the volunteer spirit of the Negro had very little outlet. In applying the Selective Service law in to the cases of colored registrants, there was no disorder nor violence, nor indeed any hint or suggestion of D.P.S. YOU SAVE On Every Purchase D. P.

Jeremiah Warns the Cities of Judah—verses 1-7. Jeremiah's name is of uncertain meaning: "appointed of Jehovah," "Jehovah throws," or "overthrows," or "Jehovah shall exalt." Jeremiah's call came to him when he was a very young man, in the thirteenth year of Josiah's reign, the year after the young king began his work of reformation. God impressed upon him his duty to become a public preacher of religion, a prophet. He peaked. "Jeremiah objected," "Fen I am a child" seventh year of sibia's reign, the year after the young king began his work of reformation. In some way God impressed upon him his duty to be come a public preacher of religion, a prophet. "I know not how to seek Jeremiah's help." "Pop I am a child" (Jer. 1:6). "Be not afraid," the Lord answered. "for I am with thee I have put my words in thy mouth." Thus encouraged, Jeremiah went forth to become one of the most powerful of all earth's preachers. Jeremiah was neither a puppet nor a coward; he was a prophet of God, bodily and spirit. He had a wom- sage from God, he was sent to an- nounce doom upon the evil doers—the priests and prophets of Judah. "But ye have not heartkened; then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this a curse to all the nu- tions of the earth." (Jer. 28:5, 6. Live pure, speak truth, right wrong. Else wherefore born?—Monsyon. Jeremiah's Life in Danger.—vs. 8-11 "In respect for the memory of the Shiloh temple and horror at its end, Jeremiah and his fanciful hearers were agreed." But in their self-righteousness the Jews of Jeremiah's day never thought that they could possibly be sinners like the men of the prophet and the prophet with angry words. Like St. Stephen's long afterwards, they were cut to the heart, and gnashed upon him with their teeth (Acts 7:54). Narrowly indeed did he escape St. Stephen's fate."—Cheyne. The sin—the great wrong in Jeremiah's prophecing he preached against the sins of Jerusalem. Here was one man of God who attacked wicked men and the powerful. The worthy of death; for he hath prophesied against this city, as we have heard with your cars," vs. 11. "I hate him, for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil," said King Anbh of Mileah, the fearless prophet who would not compromise all the truths he have wearied in the days of the prophets to make known to the the truths of the faith and of holy living," said Savonarola to his loved city of Florence, "and I have had nothing but tribulations, derision and reproach." Jeremiah's whole life was one of martyrdom. He was a man of strife and violence, and he was not to "If I say I will not make mention of Jehovah nor speak any more in his name," he says, "then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my houses, and am weary with forebearing and I cannot contain." 3 Jeremiah's Life Savod. verses 12-24. "Jeremiah is the bravest of prophets, for not only does he face the greatest dangers, he does this with a keen sense of what it all means. Such courage is infinitely more real than a feminine Saladin or a feminine Saladin, persevered general being asked who was the bravest man he knew, named a young officer who had gone into battle trembling with fear, but who notwithstanding had done his duty in the thick of the fight."—Principal Aaron. There are three things in the preaching of the prophet which covered the evil doors of Jerusalem: the boldness and gentleness of it (the prophet's preaching), and the certainty with which the prophet declares, "The true prophet messenger, 12. 15. The true prophet, invisible allies to fight for him, God, right, truth, and humanity are on his side. This man is not worthy of death; for he hath spoken to us in the name of Jehovah our God, 16. Akhim a man of God, Jozef of God, not sothed by Wylcil, and the Protestant princes by Luther, and the magistrates of Geneva by Calvin. BRGGSOGRAMS The true prophet is assured of two things evil-doers are against him and God is for him. Judgment is enviable—the only escape for the wicked is—"Amend their ways and doings and obey the voice of God. for us. Sunday night, our pastor was able to be with us and preached a fine sermon.

W. Washington was born near Haleford, Va. He was a slave of African descent and lived on a large plantation. Washington was destined to be a great man. He lived on a plantation with his sister, brother and mother. He never saw his father very much, it seemed like his father did not care very much about him or how they got along. After he had become a young man perhaps of about eighteen or nineteen he had a desire to go to school. He had heard much talk about Hampton Institute and was eager to go there. So one day he packed his small belongings and set out on foot to go to this school. MADELINE A.

CAPITAL CITY BOYS HOLD SEASONS HONORS Union University Has Won More Games Than Any Other Member of The Association. Richmond, Va.—Under the superior leadership of Coach H. D. Martin and Captain A. A. Branch Va. Union University's baseball team has this season unquestionably won the championship in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the Middle Atlantic States. The schedule followed by the championship team was as shown below: April 8th at Richmond—Lincoln University 2 Union 3. April 14th at Petersburg, Va. N. & I. I. 7 Union 3. April 17th at Richmond, V.

May 9th at Richmond, Howard University 4 Union 10. May 12th at Washington, Howard University 4 Union 1. May 13th at Lincoln, Lincoln University 5 Union 3. Total games played 9. Total games won 9. By virtue of the fact that Union has wone more games in the association than any other member of the association, she is the choice for championship in baseball this season. Concerning the players I have only to say that while pitching is an art possessed only by skilled players, our own Merritt and ( Indian ) Lee have measured up well and promise to do better next season. Then, too there are those with the team who can creditably be spoken of as heavy batters. They are in the persons F. D. Johnson, H. Boffman. ( Rat ) Adams and B. C. Gregry. While these arts in the baseball world are quite noticeable the art of fielding the "pill" should be mentioned. Therefore, I call your attention to the fact that the most sensational fielding done the season was done by two of Union's Sharks B. C. Gregory Ib. and ( Rat ) Sam as Captain A. A. Branch certainly covered much territory also and showed that he had a good arm all season. In summary, Union's entire team has made a splendid showing and proved to be a real "bugbear" to all the other teams in the C. I. A. A. (The team in batting order) (Rat) Adams s. s. A. A.

Slides Wallop Royal Giants At Broad Creek Track Ball park on Tuesday afternoon, the Royal Giants of Norfolk City, fell victims to the onslaughts of the Lambert's Point Slides. The Lamberts Point boys took the game by a score of 9 to 4 and was never really threatened any time during the playing. From the way the Slides have been going this season it takes some really fast ball playing to put a stop to their steam roller. M. Knight and Merkel James composed the battery for the Royal Giants while A. Carrol and E. Mason did the heavy work for the Slides. The sports writer did not get the score by injuring Bear Cats Put The Tigers Away The South Hill Bear Cat Giants put the sleeper to the Norfolk Tigers in last week's games.
