The age in which we live is regarded by those who are students of history as the greatest known to the human race; and the happy thought of living at this time, and to be engaged in the work that has done more to enlighten mankind than any other, and to inspire hope should give to us great consolation and joy. The work of Evangelism and Christian Missions has made it possible for us to boast of being the greatest nation on the globe. Everything that makes for progress and advancement has written from the enlightened vision inspired by the Gospel of the Son of God. World Craves for Truth The world today is craving for the truth, and if we would satisfy this craving we must offer them Jesus Christ, who is the Truth and Life. We must sow the seed and God will take care of the harvest. We are commanded to proclaim Christ to all the world, for our field is the world; and we can find in it at all times men and women who are ready to be saved. The work of Christian Missions is a common cause of expansion; extending from the fireside of every well-regulated Christian home to the uttermost parts of the world. This burning zeal and fervor spring from the fountain head, the Church at home and leads on to foreign missionary achievements and victories on the foreign field. Our task is a tremendous one; we are to effect an ethical and spiritual revolution in the whole world; and change the attitude of men to men, nations to nations, by giving men and women a thrill of a new life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Will you do your share? The Master calls, will you obey? The S. O. S. call comes ringing over land and sea, from Africa, China, Burma, Haiti and the Islands of the sea, pathetically saying, "Save our souls, lest we perish." What will you do. Let none hear us idly saying there is nothing we can do, while the souls of men are dying and the Master calls for you. If we have felt the touch, and realize the call to service in the vineyard of our Master, then let us answer, 'Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord to Thee; Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.' Our Work Is Dignified Our Work is Dignified The work in which we are engaged is a dignified enterprise, it is the work that angels would gladly do, but the opportunity has been given to us. The angel rolled the stone from the door; but the Women had the honor to tell the story of His resurrection. May that same joy and enthusiasm that moved them to begin that stupendous task inspire us today to toil on, until every gate to every Heathen city, shall be opened, and the standard of the Cross of Christ shall be planted in the darkest jungles; and a new age shall dawn on this blighted world; and a civilization, a Christian civilization that will make the world what Christ would have it be, a New Creation. We Must Not Falter Let us not falter, nor fear because of contrary opinions of modernism, Evolution and the like which tend to offer ease and complacency to those who would indulge in sin, and ignore the fundamentals of the New Testament teachings and faith. These new teachers lacking in spiritual life, stressing the "letter" at the expense of the Spirit and the more weighty things of God, are only making clear the Holy writ; that the time would come when teachers would appear with shrewdness of speech and mental agility and would devour the very elect. Be firm, my Sisters, in the faith once delivered to the saints. Indulge as little as possible in controversy over the things that do not profit in your Bible classes, but lead the young farther from God thru the strife of tongues. But teach them to observe those things that will make them potent factors in Evangelical and modern missionary, movements; that they may carry forward the work of soul (Continued on Page Four) CONVENTION WILL CLOSE TONIGHT IN BIG MASS MEETING BY W. H. H. STOKES, D. D. The Lott Carey Convention will close its session this evening at the City Auditorium, located at the corner of Brewer street and Monticello avenue with a Mammoth Miss Meeting. This meeting is generally known as the great inspirational meeting of the Convention. The principal address tonight will be delivered by Dr. R. R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala. It is earnestly hoped that the citizens of Norfolk will avail themselves of this opportunity of attending the closing session of this convention. The entertainment which the delegates have received in Norfolk surpasses any entertainment we have ever had. The convention has grown in numbers until now it has outgrown most of the church buildings and it is now very well settled that our sessions hereafter must be held in Convention Halls or large auditoriums. The fathers who organized this Convention were men of vision and even today those who remain among us admit that they never expected to see this day. Delegates are here from the great State of Texas and it is encouraging to see in our session Dr. J. H. Winn of Fort Worth, Texas, who is pastor of one of the largest church buildings in this country. His church has a seating capacity of three (3,000) thousand. The great Union Baptist Church of Baltimore is a member of the Lott Carey Convention. This church is now pastored by Dr. D. E. Over, but formerly by the late Dr. Harvey Johnson. We cannot name all the notables in our denomination here in attendance upon our Lott Carey Convention. This is the largest delegation in the history of the Convention. We had the pleasure of the presence of Dr. E. W. Johnson, Philadelphia, Pa. The Convention accepted the invitation of Dr. J. S. Harten, and Holy Trinity Baptist Church of Brooklyn, N. Y., to hold its next annual session, 1926. The next annual meeting must be a record breaker and to that end even now plans are being perfected for the 20th annual session in the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Wednesday before the first Sunday in September, 1926. We inadvertently left out two of President Brown's recommendations in yesterday's issue. We are running them in this issue so the delegates and friends may have all of the recommendations submitted by him in his annual address: 8. That we take up the work at Ricks Institute in Liberia, West Coast Africa, donating for this work fivt hundred ($500.00) dollars. 9. That we cement by resolution and service the cooperation formed between us and the National Baptist Convention, Unincorporated. Dr. J. S. Brown of Rocky Mount, N. C., preached to the overflow moting at Second Calvary. His sermon was well received by the audience which heard him. PRES. WOMAN'S AUXILIARY M. Demonstration of Building to be Erected at Careysburg, Liberia, West Coast of Africa --- BY MRS. REBECCA DUNCAN Madam President, officers and members of the Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention: We are leaving New York earroute to Carysburg, Africa, on the steamship Olympic on which we find the building material for the girls' dormitory to be erected at Careysburg, Africa. Dear sisters, we are in a position to be a witness to the fact that this effort has had its trials and self-sacrificing ordeals, and we can only thank God that He in His wise providence has enabled us to make this beginning and we pray that through His guidance we shall complete this building to His honor and glory. After six or more days on the broad Atlantic we arrived at our destination and we are chaperoned to the place where the building is to be erected. This building is to be 104x60 feet, and three stories high, containing about 40 rooms. It is also surrounded by a porch 28 feet wide. This of itself should be inviting even in Africa and especially the idea of the porch being all around, that is, back and front. If the sun is on the front the children may retire to the back and still be comfortable. We also find an auditorium seating 400. Here LottCarey Conv Organized in Church, Wa LottCarey Convention Was Organized in Shiloh Baptist Church, Washington, D.C. BY J. M. WALDRON, D. D. While the "Fathers" decided about twenty-eight years ago at Boston, Mass., to organize a convention that should have for its one object the evangelizing of the heathen the formal and actual work of bringing this Society into being did not take place in Boston. Young Women's C The Young Women's Cordial invitation to the visit Carey Baptist Convention, the and other conventions to use Young Women's Christian Association The Young Women's Christian Association extends a cordial invitation to the visitors and delegates to the Lott Carey Baptist Convention, the Women's Missionary Society and other conventions to use the rest room of the Y. W. C.A., 416 Cumberland street. A cordial welcome is extended they may come and be taught that Christ died for them and stands ever ready to save them. There is also provision for a gallery if needed. We also find that there are two closets in each room, bath and lavatory on each floor. You can see we are taking care of the sanitary condition. There is also a dining room in which pupils and teachers eat together. Now let us try in America to make it worth while going to the dining room. This building is also provided with rooms to be used for offices. We come to the kitchen in which the food is prepared to sustain the outer man. We find also a large storage room for the convenience of storing what may not be needed for immediate use. Now I have given you a bird-eye view of our building and I am sure that you feel proud that thru the help of God we are accomplishing so much for the Master. I can only say work on until Jesus comes. Make good use of our opportunities and God will crown our labors with abundant success. Till Jesus comes we will labor, watch and pray, in His dear service, spend each waiting day; and while His work our loving hands employ, we upward gaze, and watch for Him with joy. ventionWas Shiloh Baptist washington, D.C. but in Washington, D. C., and in the Shiloh Baptist Church of that city. This church feels proud of the distinction of having been the birthplace of the only Negro Baptist organization in America that devotes all of its energies and resources to the work of saving and educating the lost in foreign lands. Christian Association Christian Association extends a warm and delegates to the Lottie Women's Missionary Society the rest room of the Y. W. C. A cordial welcome is extended and the contributions of this church to home and foreign missions each year are worthy of the people who afforded this new and youngest "habe" in the foreign field a cradle in which to be born. Shiloh's Woman's Missionary circle, Mrs. M. M. Waldron, presiding, sent ten dollars per month during this conventional year towards the missionaries salaries, and both the Shiloh Church and her missionary circle are uniting advocates of the monthly, rather than the annual system of reporting missionaries funds, and they are praying that the churches and mission circles shall soon cease to hold their gifts in their treasures for twelve months while the missionaries salaries go unpaid. From September 1, 1924 to September 1, 1925, the Shiloh Baptist Church, her Home and Foreign Mission Circle, her Sunday School, her Y. P. S. C. E. and her Cradle Roll sent to the Lott Carey Convention and the Woman's Auxiliary, the sum of $553.70, and to foreign mission organizations outside the Lott Carey Convention, $55.00. Quite a large part of this sum was contributed by this church since it has been turned out of doors by an incendiary fire that devastated its beautiful structure and costly new church home. In addition to the gifts in money made by Shiloh to this convention, about five years ago it gave to the cause of foreign missions one of its best, most thoroughly consecrated young women, Miss Clarice Gooding, who has been at work in Liberia for over four years, and who refuses to take a vacation or to return to America for a year's rest as is the privilege, preferring as she says to stay at her post and continue to teach the natives to love God, and to learn how to support themselves and the mission work amon gthem. And Shiloh also has among them. And Shiloh also has went and successful physician, with a paying practice, who has offered himself as a medical missionary and who stands ready to go to Liberia and devote his talent, strength, knowledge and life to healing the bodies and souls of the heathen in that country. Truly the birthplace of this grand convention is worthy of the child—now twenty-eight years old—that was born there. BY W. T. JOHNSON. D. D. The 28th annual session of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Society and the Woman's Auxiliary Convention has already gone down in history as one of the most famous, successful and inspirational meetings that it has ever had. From the point of view of deep spiritual interest it has not been surpassed. For increased finance no former session has equaled it and for inspirational sermons and addresses no former session can be compared with it. The convention is unanimous in its decision to enlarge the scope of its activities in Liberia, Haiti and Russia. From these respective fields have come most glowing reports of work done this year. The convention itself has been largely increased in its membership by the addition of churches from various sections of the country. The convention unanimously decided to endorse the recommendation of President C. S. Brown to the end that it would support every effort to seal and make effective the Articles of Agreement entered into by the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Society, U. S. A., and the National Baptist Convention, Unin corporated. The First Calvary Baptist Church, Dr. O. J. Allen, pastor, has covered itself in glory by the splendid entertainment given to the delegates attending this session of our convention and the Auxiliary convention, and the Second Cal- (Continued on Page 3) SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR Missionary Spirit Awakening Youth of Asia and Egypt, Asserts Miss Nancy Bullock --- "We must endeavor to teach the young people of the Christian world the vast need of the heathen," said Miss Nancy Bullock, president of the Junior and Immediate Department of the Lott Carey Convention in her annual address Wednesday morning. Miss Bullock reminded her coworkers that they were meeting in their fifth annual session, near the spot where the branch was organized in 1920. The Junior Department was born of the Lott Carey Convention in Portsmouth five years ago. There are yet millions of youth anxious and ready to share our Christianity and civilization, she told her hearers and urged the young people to a reconsecration for the cause of foreign missions. The full text of her speech follows: Miss Bullock's Speech "Greetings, on this our 5th reunion; I feel that a large number of us was present at this great Convention five years ago when we had our birth practically in this spot. Since that time those of us who have been earnest and sincere have been working and enjoying the fruits of our labors for 1,825 days. To those who are for the first time joining with us in our efforts of altruism, we extend our hands in greetings and invite them to view with us the panorama of our five years labor. "As has been stated, we are now meeting practically in our birth place. Five years ago, in Portsmouth, Va., on Friday afternoon of Convention, Mrs. J. H. Randolph, presiding at the children's hour, requested that we be organized. We elected our own officers and our supervisor was chosen by the Woman's Auxiliary. Under the leadership of our supervisor and other interested members of the Women's Auxiliary, the depart woman's Auditary, the department work, although strenuous, prospered and grew resulting in an advantageous report in Newark, N. J. The following years in Charlotte, N. C., and Homestead, Pa., the results were proportionally increased. Last year in Washington we not only were improved along the financial line, but we welcomed a larger number of delegates and new circles, extended the field of our labors and formed an additional feature as an incentive for work, namely: our banner. We are hoping that our reports from the local circles this year will be improvements on last year's record in numbers, finance and above all in the spirit of altruism in each member of the circles. In offering the banner we wish that the circles endeavoring to win the banner will not lose sight of the ultimate good in the immediate gain. While urging that every circle work hard during the year and bring up a large amount of finance to the Convention in order that it might win the banner, we are entreatening that the supervisors do not fail to teach the children that they are working for the heathen. The banner is only an emblem of work well done. We are hoping that every circle will win, if not the banner, that consciousness of work well done. "New occasions teach new duties." The age old epoch in which we are living seems to call for new occasion and new duties. Youth, glorious, vivid, energetic, youth is demanding great things of the decade. Since the great World War the nations of the world are more closely united than ever and things happening in the remotest part of Asia are known within a few hours in all parts of America. The youth of these nations is awakening to certain realizations, among them, the need of Missionary Service. A more fitting discussion that the awakening of our Junior and Intermediate circles could hardly be found. Let us think, first, about the Youth Movement ow different nations. "Dear Co-workers: For years we have read of the vicissitudes in the affairs of China. We find that most of the unrest has been caused by the arousing of the youth from the sleep of centuries that has caused China to be numbered among the most backward of nations. The youth that has caused these uprisings has been inspired by the Western outlook and civilization brought chiefly by missionaries. The teaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ has been brought to life in the youth of that venerable country and is causing it to raise its hoary head in wonder and gaze with amazed eyes at Youth and Christianity. "The same thing we find in the case of Egypt which is a part of Africa. The youth of that vast country are being trained in the Mission schools and as the Current History Magazine for February 1924 states: 'Education is making rapid strides. Young men are educated in every part of Europe and America.' By this means they are beginning to control their own government. The youth of Egypt is awakening. "Japan has become one of the Four Great Powers of the World. Why? Because the youth of that nation awoke, caught inspiration and Western Civilization through Christian missionaries. The same thing has been found true in Turkey, Germany and many other countries. Students of the world are visiting different countries to catch a new vision. Mr. Milton Bronner says in the Raleigh News and Observer that, "You see them on the streets of London these days with knapsacks on their shoulders, stout walking sticks in their hands and their legs incased in puttees. And you seem to remember their like in various places in Switzerland, Italy and Norway,"—all of which proves that youth is waking. "Then you ask, 'What is the American youth doing, with its vast country, the wealthiest, greatest and proudest nation in the world?' The answer is, American youth is awakening to the need of Missionary Service. The International Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. Conference tell us that, our missionary schools and churches shout it in our ears. They are aware of the fact that there are yet teeming millions of this same youth in the world, longing and raising beseaching hands to us in their anxiety to share our Christianity and Civilization; they are also aware of the fact that civilization and christianization must go hand in hand. Hence they are denying themselves to make these things possible. What is the youth in your church, in your circle doing? Is it awakening with the youth of China, Egypt, Japan, Turkey and other heathen nations? These nations are not even Christian nations, yet their Christian youth is doing all it can to help the next door neighbor. Can we say the same thing of Liberia where so much of our Lott Carey work is being done? Sadly we answer, no. Of the 2,050,000 inhabitants, only 50,000 are civilized. "The question may be asked: What can I, as supervisor, do to aid in this? What can, I a child, a member of a struggling missionary circle, do to join in this great world-wide movement? 'I will take of the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord. "Tu Supervisors who might ask this question, I can only suggest that we endeavor to teach the young people under our care, the vast need of the heathen, that we impress on their minds the bringing of a real self-denial offering to be sent up quarterly, that we endeavor to make our Mission Band a recruiting, developing and service station. "To Supervisors who might ask of the circles, I would say that we try with all our might to carry out (Continued on Page Three) MARKED PROGRESS DR. MOSES SEESTHE SHOWN IN REPORTS NEED FOR GREATER OF W.M.M. SOCIETY BAPTIST UNITY Financial reports by the treasurer and recording secretary of the Women's Mite Missionary Society, convention at St. John's A. M. E. Church, brought fourth many facts relating to the growth financially and numerically (in numbers). The recording secretary's report revealed a grand total of 2,197 members—an increase of 113 over last year. Money turned in by the auxiliaries alone to date amounted to 7,908.85 an advance of $23.80 over last year. This sum together with dues, etc., to date totalled $8,210.13, $134.65 greater than the net amount received for all purposes the previous year. The president, Mrs. Hunter in using as an example of a rapidly growing auxiliary, cited her experience here in 1911, when she asked if a church as large as St. John's might not contribute at least $100. This query met a hoard of startled and surprised faces, as the church was then giving only $58.00. Its last gift amounted to $550.00. This, remarked Mrs. Hunter, only goes to show what we can do if we will, and while the society is doing remarkably well, there is still a great deal more we could do for those thousands of helpless souls across the sea. Wednesday and Afternoon Session Wednesday morning and afternoon sessions of the Virginia Conference Branch Women's Mite Missionary Society were consumed chiefly in transacting certain important business matters, and for the hearing of reports of several committees. A paper by Mrs. M. A. Lightner, entitled "Christ's Message to Nations and Races," met hearty approval. The morning session closed with singing and benediction. The chief entertaining feature of the afternoon meeting was the reading of another paper by Mrs. G. L. Blake. Her topic dealt with "Our Responsibility for the Young People." Rev. E. H. Coit, General Secretary of Missions of the A. M. E. Church, delivered the main address of Wednesday evening's meeting of the Women's Mite Missionary Society. Other interesting features on the program were a paper—"The Aim and Motive of Christian Missions," by Mrs. R. L. Arnold; a solo by Mrs. Johnsie Churchill; and a duet by Dr. and Mrs. J. S. Hatcher. "I have traveled from Florida to California, but this meeting surpasses anything I have seen yet," were the praising words of Mrs. K. B. Hurst, Treasurer W. P. M. M. Society, in her address to the delegates and guests of the Women's Mite Missionary Society on Thursday morning at St. John's Church. "It is better systematized than any convention I have seen yet," she further-declared. "God, God's word, and your souls will never die,' continued Mrs. Hurst. "When the world is covered with flames, 'God's word' will still live." These things she asserted in her emphatic pea to have the children taught the difference in right and wrong, and her final request was that each and every member have undaunted faith to accomplish the work set out for her to do. In th beginning of her speech, Mrs. Hurst fittingly praised the spirit of all the officers of the society. She declared that their work had been nobly done to the utmost extent of each one. Rev. A. J. Nottingham in speaking on "What the W. M. M. Society has Meant to the Virginia Conference these 25 years," remarked that considering the wide area over which the majority of rural citizens were scattered, where some live a distance of 20 miles from the nearest railroad, the Society has done a great work for these people in making it possible for as many as, could to be able to attend some form of church service. Rev. Gladney also spoke about the great aid the Society had been to him and how it had benefited such a great number of his people. Rev. Gray also spoke along the same line, and encouraged the service the body was rendering. The minimum of anxiety is what a pedestrian feels about the possible exhaustion of the petroleum supply. Man arrested in Georgia on an embezzlement charge says he repeatedly tried to get killed accidentally. Well, he certainly didn't pick his street on he wouldn't complain. The marvelous growth of the Baptist denomination is due in notivial measure to its democratic spirit, according to Dr. William Moses, of Philadelphia, Field Secretary of the National Baptist Convention, Inc., who was one of the speakers at the Wednesday session of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Society, meeting in its 28th annual Convention at the beautiful First Calvary Baptist Church. Despite the fact that the Baptists have come into great popular favor, Dr. Moses declared that there is need for greater unity. In developing the need of greater unity, Dr. Moses described the quarrels, splits, and separations of the Baptists since the time of the great missionary, after whom the Society is named, Lott Carey, to the present day. He urged a greater unity, a close co-operation, in order that a greater good to a greater number might be accomplished. As an aid to this, he suggested and urged the adoption of the recommendations of Dr. C. S. Brown, president of the Society, as given in his address Wednesday and published in the Journal and Guide Convention edition on Thursday. "The first duty of the Baptist demission is to unify itself," asserted Dr. Moses. He predicted, however, "one solid Baptist group" in the future. Because it is doing work that will live, he said that the Lott Carey Convention would always live and function for the good of mankind. Dr. Moses' frank and humorous touches had the audience rolling with laughter at one time and thoroughly attentive the next. His speech was obviously enjoyed and long applause followed the completion of the address. Other Features of Programs During the day two representatives of the foreign missionary fields were heard. The Rev. C. Jeannes-Jacques, spoke at length upon the religious traditions and superstitions of the Haitians. Following a lengthy history of the island to the south of the United States, variously titled the "Pearl of the Antilles" and the "Gem of the Carribean," Rev. Jacques described the difficulties of the Christians in dealing with the natives who practice the weird and often barbarous "religious" rites. Rev. Jacques has been preaching in Haiti for 25 years. He has been to this country several times, but he said he had been afraid before to enter the South. Having come, he said that Norfolk and that part of the south he has seen has not been so bad as pictured and that it has been a revelation to him. He has been speaking the English language twenty years and is an English professor in Haiti. He said that the Lott Carey Society was the first organized missionary group to come to the aid of the Haitians. Rev. Jacques also sang, placing himself in that select class of preacher-singers, of which Rev. O. J. Allen, of the First Calvary, is a member. An African Describes Africa Rev. Charles M. Bryant, of Liberia, Africa, described the work being done in Liberia. His talk was interesting and informative. Many visitors were introduced and spoke briefly. In the afternoon a paper on "Stewardship" was read THE LOTT CAREY BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION CONVENTION and invites them in to inspect our fine line of Fall and Winter footwear, for Men, Women and Children, where you will receive courteous treatment. ONE WEEK'S USE BRINGS MAGIC CHANGE IN SKIN SAYS MISS NAOMI BEST by Dr. J. H. Randolph, Washington, D. C. Dr. C. C. Somerville, of Cambridge, Mass., spoke on the "Advantage of Cooperation in the Kingdom Development." Next Meeting In New York The Convention voted to hold its 29th annual Convention at the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. Rev, C. P. Madison distributed an even 100 Baptist Commentaries to ministers attending the Convention, on behalf of Mr. Henry Allen Boyd. The rest of the sessions of the day and night were those of the Women's Auxiliary, being held in Second Calvary Baptist Church, Calvert and Wide streets. WOMAN'S AUXILIARY HELD A NOTABLE SESSION YESTERDAY BY G. W. WATKINS, D. D.. The program for the afternoon was somewhat changed because of a special service held by the Woman's Auxiliary at the Second Calvary Baptist Church. At three o'clock p. m., the large concourse of Baptist women which make up the Woman's Auxiliary to the Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention gathered in the Second Calvary Baptist Church of which Dr. C. P. Madison is pastor. Dr. Madison was called upon and made some very beautiful remarks relative to the work the Christian women are doing in pushing forward the kingdom of God. He also plead for Baptist unity throughout the United States. Dr. O. J. Allen was presented and made brief remarks. The president, Mrs. J. H. Randolph called forward the building committee of the goirls' dormitory, after Mrs. Randolph had requested Dr. C. S. Brown and all the men of the men's convention who were present to stand. She proceeded in fitting words to present a cornerstone which is to go into the girls' dormitory erected at Careysburg, Liberia, West Africa. Dr. C. S. Brown accepted the stone in behalf of the Lott Carey Convention. In the midst of his remarks, Dr. Brown told some of his experiences in Liberia while there in company with Dr. A. A. Graham inspecting our mission work there. Then he thanked the women in the name of the Lott Carey Convention, and the women of Liberia and closed with an earnest appeal for consecration and sacrifice for the spread of the good news of the gospel for all the world. Next Dr. W. T. Johnson, chairman of the board of missions was called upon and accepted the stone on behalf of the executive body of the Convention. After Dr. Johnson's fitting words of acceptance, the congregation arose and sang "Go Preach My Gospel Saith the Lord." Then the two young girls that had been selected to unveil the cornerstone drew another cord that released a curtain and revealed a beautiful marble tablet to be placed in the dormitory in memory of the faithful women of the Woman's Auxiliary to the Lott Carey Convention. Dr. F. W. Williams, pastor of the Queen Street Baptist Miss Best, 58 Montgomery St. Newark, N. J., in a letter says, "Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener is very wonderful. I have used it only one week and it has made a great change in my skin". This is only one of the many hundred of voluntary letters received daily, glorifying Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Preparations. It is simply amazing the way these marvellous beauty preparations make even the darkest skin lighter, clearer and free from pimples, freckles, oiliness, large, ugly pores and sun tan. Ladies in all walks of life, from Maine to California and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, are improving their beauty, renewing the youthful texture of their skin and lightening their complexions with Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Preparations, and there is a special preparation for each need. The Skin Whitener for lightening the complexion; Skin Whitener Soap and Powder for smoothing and beautifying the complexion and Hair Dresser for properly grooming milady's tresses. Any complexion, no matter how dark, muddy or oily, Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Ointment will transform it like magic into a lovely, soft, velvety skin-the NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Church, Norfolk, Va., accepted the tablet on the part of the Convention. Christian religion must have a large the spirit of God wi Dr. A. A. Graham then introduced Rev. Chas. A. Bryan, a native Liberian, who accepted the stone and the tablet in behalf of the people of Liberia. Rev. Bryan said in the beginning of his speech, that his heart was overflowing with joy, and that he knew that every missionary in Africa would rejoice when the news of this day reached their ears. He said he and the rest of the workers in Africa have realized the responsibility of leadership. He further said that it was Lott Carey who founded the first Christian Church in Liberia and for that reason the people of Liberia honor and revere the name of Lott Carey, and that he and the rest of the Christian workers that he represented pledged loyal support to our work. The speaker emphatically stated that not only the people in the country but that the government and President King were all proud of the work that Lott Carey is doing in Liberia. In burning words the speaker described Miss Lyon in her work of dressing the sores of the little diseased African children. Rev. Bryan stated that he knew all the missionaries and gave the Lott Carey workers the highest commendation. The speaker closed with an earnest plea for sincerity and love for the work. Dr. F. Mitchell led in a fervent dedicatory prayer. The evening session was featured by the annual sermon to the Woman's Auxiliary delivered by the Rev. J. S. L. Holloman pastor of the Third Baptist Church, Washington, D.C. Rev. Holloman chose for a text Phil. 2:9, subject: "The Universal Kingship of Jesus Christ. This eloquent young minister delivered his message with case and enthusiasm. This gospel message was received with profit and joy by the vast audience that filled the spacious meeting house. Rev. Holloman is a young man of which the Baptist denomination and race are justly proud. A man was arrested for sleeping in a chicago theatre and we think we have seen the same show.

WORK OF MISSIONS WORK OF MISSIONS (Continued from Page One) winning and Kingdom Building, when we shall be called to our reward. We must lay the foundation of our missionary work on true basis and intrust it to none other; than regenerated hearts, both at home and abroad; for at best we are inadequate to the task of meeting and contending with modern devices of unparalleled combination of human skill, without a deep sense of loyalty and duty to Him who said, "Go ye therefore into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." Problems Must Be Solved The impregnable wall of Confuciism, Buddhism, the wretched systems of cast and racial prejudice, must be met and its problems solved by the principles of the blotches and tan marks vanish, blipmes clear up, the skin becomes clearer and lighter and the excessive oil which causes "shine" disappears. Women everywhere are simply wild about Dr. Fred Palmer's Soap and Powder, for it is delightfully fragrant, clings to the skin nicely and has a soft satiny appearance. Wind does not blow it off, it prevents oil from forming on the skin and keeps the skin from chapping in all kinds of weather. Dr. Fred Palmer has developed the most marvellous Hair Dressing known to science. It makes the hair straight, soft, long and luxuriant, removes dandruff, keeps the scalp healthy and makes the hair grow. No hair too stiff or crinkly for it, it to improve. Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Preparations — four in — Skin Whitener, Skin Whitener Soap, Skin Whitener Powder and Hair Dressing — may be had from almost any toilet goods counter serving race people. Be sure you get the genuine by insisting upon Dr. FRED Palmer's, and if your dealer cannot supply you, they will be sent direct from the laboratory upon receipt of price, 25c each, or the four for one dollar.

Therefore we must have a large inducement of the spirit of God with faith, love and sacrifice to challenge the materialistic tendencies of this new age, and accomplish our task in saving the world for Christ. The Annual address delivered by Dr. C. S. Brown, on yesterday was one which gave to us encouragement, and hope for better work in the future, and a more satisfactory fulfillment of our plans and purposes and especially his reference to immediate action in the construction of our buildings on the fort on field. We also heartily commend and a prove of his recommendations pertaining to the requisites that should be required; and the training and temperamental examination that shall be given our missionaries before accepting them for the foreign field.

Norfolk, Virginia FAGE FOUM NOTABLE SERVICE TO CONVENTION BY ALLEGHENY ASSO'N. Rev. Dr. J. E. Salie, Moderator J. C. Talton, Clerk We hail with a degree of pleasure the present opportunity to say some things which are of interest to us, and perhaps will be of some worth unto you. We live, and have labored for some years in the Western part of Pennsylvania. In our efforts we have endeavored to uplift, evangelize and christianize amid whom we live, and by whom we are surrounded. And while we have striven to that end, we have not forgotten those of other lands and climes. Since the organization of this the great Lott Carey Convention in 1897, some of the churches and ministers of the Alleghany Baptist General Association of Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio have labored with earnestness and concern, among which, and of whom we mention with pleasure and delight the late Rev. Dr. O. S. Simms and the Rodman St. Church, Pittsburgh; the late Dr. Thos. H. Ford and the Mt. Rose Baptist Church of Uniontown; Dr. J. W. Webb, and the Antioch Baptist Church, Pittsburgh, where the first meeting of the Lott Carey Convention in the Western part of the State was held; Rev. Dr. G. E. Sallie of McDonald, who was re-elected in July for the 17th consecutive term as Moderator of the Alleghany General Association and Rev. J. C. Taulton, with the First Baptist Church at Donora, who also was re-elected to the clerkship of the above named Association for the 19th time as such and three times as assistant clerk before his election as clerk. Revs. J. D. Morten, Second Baptist Church, Homestead; J. H. Boone, D. D., J. H. Freeman, Rev. R. H. Rucker, Washington; Rev. J. C. Allen, with the Trinity Baptist Church, Pittsburgh; Rev. W. T. Neal of Sharpsburgh and others. Through the influence of Rev. J. C. Taulton, Rev. M. A. Talley, D. D., was called to the pastorate of the Clark Memorial Baptist Church of Homestead, where with the cooperation of the loyal men and women who had been trained by that pastor of pastors, the late Dr. Richard R. Jones, succeeded in erecting that magnificent structure in which you held the 1923 sessions of this Convention. As a result of the influence of Dr. Talley, the Clark Memorial voted to, and is loyally supporting Mrs. F. B. Watson, paying her salary, at Careysburg, Liberia, West Coast Africa. The accompanying is the cut of what is known as "The Sunbeam Band." It was organized by Pastor Talley about three years ago. This band of little folks are doing much towards liquidating the mortgage debt on the new building. This band for the time being is under the leadership of Mrs. Sallie Morton, who stands at the upper left of the picture, with Master Grant Venable as president. Through an oral agreement, between Pastor Talley of the Clark Memorial Church and Rev. J. C. Taulton, clerk, of the Alleghany Association, a recommendation of the Mission Board of the A. B. G. Association voted to fit up the station now conducted by Mrs. F. B. Watson, while the Clark Memorial Church will continue to pay her salary, and appointed a commission, composed of Revs. R. D. Epps, J. C. Allen and J. C. Taulton, to secure this privilege. THE WONDERS OF AFRICAN PEOPLE Modern speculative masonry has what it calls secrets, but none of them are what were called secrets among the ancient Africans who practiced the mystic craft ages before England founded her York rite and France her Grand Orient. The Africans had secrets both operative and speculative which today are either lost or still kept secret. What sort of cement was it they used that became harder than the stones it held together? What kind of tools did they use by which they carved tombs and temples out of the hardest granite as though it was mere chalk? How did they raise stones weighing fifty to one hundred tons, or place capitals on the tops of pillars that weighed as much as the pillars themselves? What did the orientation of their buildings mean to them and how to set them so perfect that there is not the error of an inch? How did they make stone doors that moved to a touch as THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION This band of bright young church workers was organized by Rev. M. A. Talley, D. D., pastor of Clark Memorial Baptist Church, Homestead, Pa., and is doing much towards liquidating the debt on the magnificent edifice in which the 1923 Lott Carey Convention met. Clark Memorial Church is affiliated with the Alleghany Baptist General Association of Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio. light as a feather and hide secret chambers so that none could find them except those who made them? What were their secrets of making colors that retained their bright- ness after five thousand years? These are but a few of the secrets which were known to ancient African masons and if they could men claim to have them, they would turn over in their graves and laugh. Ancient masonry sleeps its mummies along speak and their speech is the speech of silence.
