MPRESSIVE SERVICES PLANNED FOR OCCASION Journal and Guide Boreas ROBERT A. CRUMP 1212 St. John St. Richmond, Va., Sept. 7- The Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church since its completion is quite an imposing structure. Taking the form of an entirely new church, it stands out boldly as one of the most beautiful religious edifices in this city. Being been remodeled throughout it is now the last word in up-to-date churches. With the addition of a new Sunday school room, appropriately named, "Jasper's Memorial," and with the gorgeous interior decoration, the new and latest model pipe organ and many other needed additions, Sixth Mt. Zion ranks, now in grandeur as well as in pulpit intellectuality, with the leading Negro churches in the country. On the second Sunday in September this wonderful temple of Christian worship opens its many doors to receive the multitude that has so anxiously multiplied the formal opening of this great old, yet apprehensive new church. It will be a great day in Zion, one that will be remembered for many a long day. Built By John Jasper Burke old Sixth Mount Zion whose old, but digified, walls still and elegant outer outfit was built and made by the immortal John Mosey, whose thunderings from his pulpit echoed around the world, particularly so when he preached the sermon that not only made him famous but at the same time set scientists and geologists to thinking. "The Sun do Move," was the theme that drew people from all parts of the world to this quaint old church, which is rich in traditions because of the inimitable Jasper, who in his day and generation was one of the greatest expounders of the gospel truths that one would find in a day journal rich in traditions because it had its birth in the mind and mind of his priest, who carried it forward for thirty-four years. Although an unlettered man, yet he was a man with a keen knowledge of the scripture. For it was said of him that although he could not read, he could regite the Bible almost from cover to cover. According to the historian of the church, A. W. Parham, "Sixth Mount Zion was organized September 3, 1867, on Brown's Island, in a horse stable by the late Rale Jasper and Rev. Pete Randolph, with nine other members, brethren Ralph Hilton, b嫂 Barrett, Peter Bake, Francis Cary, Henry Clarke, Sisters Adel Clark and Mary Wells, with Crandion Taylor as the first clerk of the church. The pastor's salary was $9.00 per week. Forced Out of Stable "After the congregation had worshipped in the stable for a short time the proprietors found that they had use for it. Then the church removed to the home of brother Peter Baker, spending the winter of 1867 there. In June, 1868, the church removed to the corner of Fourth and Cary streets in a carpenter's or cooper's shop. The church at this time sent ten members of the white people who did not want a colored church in that section, so in a short time they called for the shop. The church moved again to a large room on Cary street, between Third and Fourth streets, spending the winter of 1868 in this room. This place also was too small to accommodate the congregation, so the church sent out a committee to look for a house of worship. God directing them on the corner of St. John and Duval streets, seating about 250 or 300 persons. In May or June the church moved to the present site with 40 or 50 members. The new church cost $2,050. The membership grew so fast in a short time that this church became too small to accommodate the large gathering, so they added in the rear, the cost of $5,050, and that debt was paid they remodeled the old part of the (Continued on Page Six) JOHN JASPER'S HISTORIC RICHMOND CHURCH Discuse Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church, of Richmond, founded in an abandoned stable 58 years ago by the late and famous "Sun Do Move" John Jasper.

In this case, the medal was awarded by a committee of the faculty on the basis of originality in thesis, amount of investment and conscientious effort. This article is larger, statistical, but it is not abridged, as it is believed it will provide a value as a record to an compiler of American Pharmaceutical History. The description of the part that the Neh has taken in the development and progress of the profession is well worthy of note and recording for permanent preservation and reference." Completest Story Written As stated by the publisher, the article is largely statistical, but it is probably the completest story so far written of the Negro in Pharmacy, with an extensive bibliographical reference.

YOUNG MAN LEAVES HOME FOR CHURCH; MURDERED INSTEAD Unknown Assailant Crushes Skull Of Widely Known Young Churchman of Plymouth, North Carolina. VICTIM'S BODY FOUND IN CREEK 4 DAYS LATER Herman Paxton, well-known resident of Plymouth, N. C., and a prominent churchman, was brutally murdered by unknown party or parties in his home town Monday night, according to dispatches sent to the Journal and Guide. Paxton left home to attend church services and was not seen again until Friday morning when his body was found in McKees Creek by W. M. Mitchell, while fishing in the creek. The body showed that the young man had been clubbed to death, his skull being fractured in two places and his head swollen twice its normal size. Sheriff J. E.

The fire occurred on a road leading from the State Hospital grounds to Mount Hope Cemetery. Colored Lads Dissolve Jinx Cross roads and midnight on Friday, the 13th, with thirteen black cats in a flour bag may be a safe anecdote for a hard luck baseball team, but two little Negro boys proved to be stronger than the above named prescripthon when they hailed into the Philadelphia Athletic's camp after the latter had dropped twelve consecutive games, and with songs and dances kept the players in good spirits. The result was that the A's won a game to discard their jinx. What the lads got was a shower of coins and two new suits of clothes. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR HONORED Dr. G.

REV. LONG RAPS CITY IN GIVING UP PASTORATE HERE Growth of Racial Intolerance, Adoption of Segregation Ordinance, Among Reasons For Leaving. LEAVES $3,000 CHARGE TO ACCEPT ONE OF $1,800 Unquestion by the most striking indication of the dissatisfaction and the most striking dissatisfaction and disgust felt by a large number of colored citizens of Norfolk over what they regard as a gradual but persistent and widening circum-scription of their civic, residential, national opportunities, is the recent resignation of f Rev. C. M. Long from pastorate of historic B a n k stree t Baptist Church, and h is JOHN B. HARRIS announced determination to quit the city and take up residence in the North. Rev. Long is one of the most prominent colored pastors in the city and has held his charge here for five years. Following his resignation he issued a statement, assigning his reasons for relinquishing his pastorate. In this statement, after admitting that dissension in his church played a part in binging about his resignation, Rev. Long points out certain conditions affecting the colored people of Norfolk which he deeply deplores and which were compelling factors in prompting him to quit the city. Gives Reasons These conditions Rev. Loing enumerates as follows: "The growing spirit of the Ku Klux Klan, manifested by their advertisements on the street cars, which are supported by Negroes as well as whites and which the city allows, coupled with institutions in public parks, a thing designed to intimidate and terrify the Negro, who is also taxed for the up-keep of these places of public amusement. "The city can't find a cent for a Negro park or a playground worthy of the name, yet it can purchase public gold links for 'whites only' and reserve all the parks and playgrounds for themselves. During vacation and holidays, the parks are empty, and everyone enjoys all kinds of recreation and pleasure, while Negroes sweat and melt on the hot sidewalks, in the lanes and alleys, with no outlet. (Continued on Page Six) PANOLA RIVER CLAIMS LIVES OF YOUTHFUL HEROES Tarboro, N. C., Boys Wade Out In Efforts To Save Drowning Companion And All Four Sink Below Surface. THREE DAYS CONSUMED IN SEARCH FOR BODIES Heroism displayed by three small boys, not one of whom was more than 14 years of age, equal to that ever exhibited by any grown-up anywhere, under any circumstances, cost them their lives in the Panola river, Tarboro, Monday afternoon. August 31, according to the story related in a special dispatch to this newspaper. The tragedy which claimed the lives of these three, also claimed the life of a fourth, their companion for whom they made the fatal sacrifice. All four of the boys were members of prominent colored families. They were: Theodore Leahman Worsley, age 10; Theodore Stancil, age 14 years; Ernest Dancy, age 14 years; and Savallas Spain, age 10 years. Great Heroism Displayed. The story of how these four youngsters met death reveals that three of them might have been living today had they not given themselves to the treacherous currents of water above their heads in an effort to save one of their companions who had accidently stepped into the stream and was drowning. One by one, the story tells, the boys walked to their death, each trying to save the one who had gone before. According to the Guide's correspondent: Monday evening, August 31st, about 3 o'clock the news was brought to East Tarboro by little George Vick jr., the nine-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Vick, that he and other boys had gone to the river bank of the Panola Farm, and four of his companions were drowned. The story quickly spread, and people, both white and colored, began to rush to help the deserter by boy. Mr. Lowry Bear manager of the Panola Farm, was among the first to reach the fatal spot finding the clothes of the boys on the sand bar that reaches nearly half way across the river. Mr. Bullock easily found the tracks of the boys as they lead in to the first very shallow water, where they waded in. Trying to Catch Minnows It was cold aby, the little Vick boy that in an effort of the boys to catch in snow bags on top of the river, one of the boys stepped off into the deep stream, and one by each boy waded in trying to save his playmate until four of the boys were in water from ten to twelve feet deep. About four o'clock the search began, with several white and colored men diving into a body of water of a very strong undercurrent and with many brush roots and logs. In a short while one boat was brought up for the use of the searchers, and for three hours a bout twenty-five men faithful to the crowd, a crowd of three, hundred men, women and children looked on. When it became dark and the crowd had almost dispersed, three white men, with only two colored, without any light except that of the moon, remained on the bank of the river until others returned with lights and the search again began. About 8 o'clock the first body was found: It was that of little Theo Leahman Worsley, aged 10, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Worsley. By this time three other boats had been brought by truck to the searchers. At about 11 o'clock the second body was found. It was the body of Theo Stancill 14 years old, the son of Mrs. Albert and Mr. Theo. The search continued until about 3:30 o'clock a.m. and the searchers rested by a fire on the bank of the river until about 5 o'clock Tuesday morning. About 7 o'clock the third body was found. It was the body of Ernest Dancy, 14 year old, son of the widow, Mrs. Henrietta Dancy. The search of diving and dragging with several kinds of drags and boats, continued until about 3 (Continued on Page Siz) City Social and Personal Miss.

But Virginia has done more than this.

This. follows closely upon the heels of the reor- ganization of the athletic associa. tion for the coming school year and] all eyos are turned toward Fisk as she emerges as atletaic contender.

The world series loom just a few woeks away. ‘The National tennis championships, have been decided in the greatest tournaments, in, the hiitory of the A. T. A. And it is time that the tang ofschilly fall evenings awaken us to the fact that soon the curtain will rise, that the Stage #8 sct, and the costumes are ready for the dramd entitled “The Plunging Backfield.” The curtain exists in our imaginations, fired by the thoughts’ of the thrils that await us. ‘The stage is the white-barred gridiron The costumes are the moieskins and leathern headgear, the cleated shoes, and, the vividly colored jerseys. i Fore and théve football has taken the center of the stage in the conversations of lovers of the great.college game.

If, however, the kicking side recover the ball it shall count a down. Last ‘year if a blocked kick was recovered py the kicker's side it went as a first down. All partially blocked kicks which crosé~the line of scrimmage will be treated aé if the ball had not been ttuched, e Physicians, trainers, and others officially delegated to do-so may appear on the field guring play, and the attention of the referee need not be attracted frém the sideline, as before. The rule provides that such aides shall report to the referce, just as an incoming player would be required to report. ve ils ea the captain winning the tos, may. choose to receive or kick in addition to selecting the goal which he will defend.

Royals Also Doing Their Stuff The Royal Athletic Club is also in the preparation business and expects to set a fast pace for other locals this year. The team has been holding nightly workouts at the old Norfolk Academy lot, under the guidance of a former playcoach of the Norfolk Academy. The team is taking on some weight and expects to launch out against the bigger fellows this year. The aggregation seems to be getting along pretty nicely. It is already running signal practices. WILBERFORCE U. HAS PROSPECTS OF GOOD SEASON Wilberforce, Ohio—Football prospects at Wilberforce for the confining season look very bright and promising. Although it will undergo a heavy schedule, Wilberforce is confident that its own will be held against its opponents. Such a team, Lincoln, Morris Brown, of Atlanta, Ga., Simmons and West Virginia, Shifts Planned The loss of players is small and for that reason, things look bright. Four players have been lost to the team. The position of end, held by Scotte Brown, captain of last year, can readily be filled by King Callen, former Atlanta University end, or Country Lewis of basketball fame. Wu Fang Ward, more than on account of his speed, will be shifted from tackle to backfield, while it is conceded his tackle, while it is conceded his tackle, for Tyne, former Virginia Tech, who last year received a berth as tackle on one of the all-American teams. With Slater back in the lineup, the tackle positions will be intact. Buchanan, snappy center, on account of being declared ineligible as to back work in chemistry, will not appear in football tots this year. His place will no doubt be filled by Bob Smith or Bickett. If Bickett is shifted to center then a guard will have to be found to fill his place. More than likely Evans, of Kansas, will be the big guard will no doubt retain his position, for he is hard to beat. To prove his relative strength at guard, outplayed the much tooted Miller, of Howard, in the Howard-Wilberforce game, last season, and thus showed the public "Who was who." Mike Wooddrige, captain, and right end will retain his position. Mike accomplished last year what no other end ever accomplished and perhaps never will. In all games played there never was a team that made a gain at Mike's end; on forward plays or on end runs, yet he was not mentioned on the All-America selections. Praise is he bestowed on him time and again by officials who officiated in games between Wilberforce and other schools. Line Is Intact With the line intact to the exception of left guard which may be a little weak, the backfield comes up for question. With the shifting of Wu Fang to the backfield, Wilberforce can boast of a better and more powerful backfield of any colored school in the country with no exceptions to a lot of white schools. Richie, quarterback, will again don Wilberforce togs. Beside being a quarterback in barking signals, Richie is a consistent ground gainer, dropkick and punt. Bull will be back to hold down the fullback position. Bull needs no mention, for he unholds in every way the name of "Bull" and "Flash". Teams that have played against him know of his calibre, nuf-ced. Then there is the invincible Wu Fang Ward, conceded to be the best Negro basketball star and just as good a football player. Wu Fang on account of his speed will more than likely hold down a halfback position. As to Harding, Harris and Campbell, broken fielder runs, there is a toss up. It is about as good as Coach only Harding excels in kicking and forward passing. With a picking of what is intended to be a first string position, unless Coach Graves makes a change, there are subs of last year and new comers who will strengthen the team to a high deference. With the class of football Willforce displays, and yet known as the hard luck team, it is the bone of contention that all teams SPORT NEWS VOL. 2, NO. 1 BASE BALL NEARS END FINISH NO. 11 NAT'S 1765 FIOTCAN HAMPTON WAY NEAV SHARP WILL MY KIDDY MAD HAS HEAVY DATE FOOTBALL NEWS C.

ST. PAUL HAS STIFF SCHEDULE FOR THE SEASON Lawrenceville, Va., September 9 —Athletic authorities at St. Paul Normal and Industrial School are giving their football team a stiff schedule to play play, but the opinion in football circles is that Coaches Winton Douglass and Hubert Taylor have the foundation of a good team. In addition, many promising substitutes from last s season and several experienced candidates will be on hand when regular practice begins in a few days. 1925 Schedule for St. Paul Oct. 3, N. C.

Five Games at Home For Tigers Playing before strange crowds and on strange gridirons is always a disadvantage for most teams, but St. Paul is fortunate this season in that only three games are away from home. It so happens, however, that those three teams are forecasted to furnish the strongest opposition in the first visiting Tigers-Hampton meets St. Paul in Norfolk, as did these two teams last season. At that time, with St. Paul conceded to have the best opportunity of her career in football to defeat Hampton, the Sensiders tuprened upon the jungle beasts and earned a 14-0 victory. This year, St. Paul is predicted to put up a gigantic struggle and is known to be coming at Richmond and A, and T at Greenbore will furnish terrific opposition but the Tigers are known to believe that every board has two sides. They will, therefore, in turn offer terrific opposition to the above mentioned and other teams. SHAW SQUAD IN TRAINING AT SMITHFIELD Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 10—The squad that goes into special training, with Coach H. D. Martin at Shaw's training camp in Smithfield, Va., on the 15 of this month will be lacking but one member of last year's line team. Quite a warrior, Shaw camp. Two new husky bear warriors have been notified to join Capt. "Bozo" Gill.

C. Yell men are to report to Coach H. Dr. Dorn on the 10th of September for early training. Every preparation is being made by the graduate manager, Dr. John Owen Plummer, to house every applicant to the squad and to leave no stone unturned in producing one of the best—if not the best—teams in the history of the institution. That team was made up of such men as John Love, the greatest fullback of his day; McDougall, Bill Jones, Peek Mills, Clem Branch, Joe Owen, William, George Mitchell, Saltwater Campbell. These valiant sons of Shaw were the cream of the country, having been scored on but once in seven years. Shaw has a very hard schedule this fall, playing all the teams in the C. I. A. A., together with two outside colleges. All the games are at home except three, Virginia Normal, Hampton Institute, and A. and T. College, Oct. 21, Nov. 7, and Nov. 20, respectively, which is a decided victory. Shaw loses but one man of last year's team, while on the other hand many of the other teams are badly crippled. Coaches of Union, Hampton, V. N. I. I., St. Paul, Virginia Seminary and College A, and T. College have been scuffing around all the big universities of the country all summer trying to find a solution by which they may be able to fill vacancies in last year's squad made this past spring, while Coach H. D. Martin, the men's coach, has been up in Canada taking life, waiting only for the time to come when he can lose his cubs on the Farmers, Panthers, and all other teams. PITCH HILDALE TO 2 VICTORIES Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 7—The Hildale Club sent the pennant bopes of Colonel Strothers' Giants glimmering when the Davy by Daisies downed the Up-Staters in both ends of a holiday bill at Hildale Park. The morning game being captured by the Boldenites in a red hot ninth inning finish by the score of 4 to 3 and afternoon canter was bagged by the home team 7 to 2. With the two defeats, even the most ardent Harrisburg roster has to be reconciled to the fact that the runner-up post is about the best they can hope for and the Hildale gang are about to flaunt another pennant in the faces of their adversaries. The one thing that really helped the Law Makers was the fact that only the morning game counted in the league standing, since it rounded out the quota of ten games that finishes the battles between the suspect clubs. The Darby Giants in front of in front of the jung-hundred margin of five full games that appear to be ample for the Philadelphia team to saunter in a winner. Phlinging Phil Cockrell had his saliva slants working in fine order in the fore meridian contest, holding the hired hands of Colonel Strothers to three measly hits, but even at that it was necessary for Philip to bring his big bat into play to subdue "Ping" Gardner and the rest of the Harrisburg team. While Cockrell yielded only three hits, Gardner pitched a whale of a game, and had the pace makers catch-up till the final session of play, when Cockrell came through with a single that netted two runs and the game.

"Fats" Jenkins paved the way for another Hildale tally when he muffed Steven's long fly in the 6th inning and Stevic pulled up at second, successive scifice flies by Car and Mackey enabled Stevens to go into the 9th one run behind. Thomas drew a walk, Warf doubled and Thomas was held at third. Cockrell then produced the hit that decided the issue. Hustling Script Lee completed the day of reverses for the Harrisburg contingent, handcuffing the entire crew with the exception of Cannady, Eggleston and Jackson who collected the four bingles that totaled the Harrisburg damage on the offense for the afternoon.

INCORPORATED HAMPTON SEES WINNING TEAM WITH LETTERMEN Seasiders Play Both St. Paul and Shaw In Norfolk. Keen Competition Is Evident. J. H. P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. BY P. BERNARD YEARLAND Hampton, IA. One of the reasons why Hampton Institute is looking into the not far distant future, and seeing there the laurel wreath of victory being draped about the sturdy brows of her football representatives as the final curtain in the thrilling drama of football struggles falls amid encrouching shadows on the coming Thanksgiving day, is the fact that seventeen experienced, conditioned, and enthusiastic letter men from last season's squash team have practiced when the call is issued on the 23rd of this month. This number represents two less than received the variety insignia last season. That two have passed on into the memories and history of athletic service well done, for they have pussed out of Hampton' football activities because their limit of four years of intercollegiate competition has been met. David Gunn, four letter man and star backfield man and punter supreme, or "Jimmie Jones," diminutive but with dependable end, don tongs and enter any of Hampton's gridiron struggles. Others To Fill In Acceptably But there will be others to fill in acceptably. With the seventeen of last year's letter men will report one or more stars of former years, among them W. D. "Bulldog" Williams, sensational fullback of 1923. And to fill out the program there will be many to report who failed to play in enough games last season to win their letters, but who will undoubtedly give the other candidates for positions a strong fight. Finally, but not least, there will be those to report who have not tried out until this season; but least at Hampton. In all, the prospects are good, as Coach Gidon E. Smith conservatively puts it. No Positions Won Yet No positions on the team have been won yet—in advance. The lowliest scrub if he shows the necessary qualifications, as is likely to be in the varsity lineup as the brightest star from former campaigns. That is the way the Hampon coaches feel about it. 1925 Schedule of Hampton Oct 3, Livingstone College at Hampton; Oct 10, Virginia Semi- nary and College, at Lynchburg; Oct. 17, St. Paul N. and I.

Ten days after the Seissiders begin practive, they meet Livingstone College, a North Carolina institution that raises the very dickens in the Old North State. Livingstone College defeated Shaw last season, and Shaw held Hampton in a large crowd should witness the contest between Hampton and Livingstone on Oct. 3. As and T. College of Greensboro was one of last season's sensations. If our memory serves us rightly, A. and T. figured in several defeats of leading teams, and when she could not win neither could the other team. For A. and T. had tie scores in from 4 to 6 games, according to our not infallible memory, livingstone and the A. date usually held by Howard University, which is out of the C. I. L. A. Among the letter men returning are Carlo Johnson, substitute back; Bertrand Jacobs, star quarterback of three seasons; George Davis, substitute end; Elmer Baker, wonderful punter and quarterback; Reuben Munday, substitute tackle; Elmer Fortune, substitute tackle; James Thatcher, regular halfback; Edward Hargrove, regular halfback; Fred Cresay, regular guard; William Lee, regular tackle; Oscar Pindle, captain and regular center, who was honored by reelection as captain for this season; Sam Mansfield; regular halfback; William Dean, substitute fullback, whose play in the Thanksgiving game against Union virtually won that game; guard; Thomas Coleman, regular guard; and Cecil Spellman, substitute quarterback. While Coach Smith thinks ten days is too short a period to get the muscles of his charges into proper working order for the first game, still he thinks Hampton "should be able to produce a winning team," and beginning on the 23rd he and Physical Director Chas. Williams and their assistants will work toward that end.

Bowling delivered another one of his series of sermons on theology last Sunday night at the First Baptist Church Announcing his text, John 7:45-52 he said: "Here are men calling attention to a fact which all succeeding ages in Christendom have authenticated, viz., that Jesus was divinely unique and as such not to be hindered or interfered with. These ancient theologians explain away their view by the fact that none of THEM had accepted the claims of Jesus and further by an assertion which a little Biblical Research proves to be untrue, viz., "that out of Galilee ariseth no prophet." But Jonah came from Galilee. It is a typical case of theology making 'lamé duck' explanations when old positions are found to be untenable. 'Lame Duck' Explanations "Having attempted to squelch the theory of a moving earth but failed because of new evidence coming in during two centuries following the death of early champions of the theory, the church attempted to explain away its own error in the premises. Certain defenders declared that the 'Infallable Pope' did not formally sign the decree against the Copernican theory, and that, if he did, he signed as an individual not as reigning Pope. But the publication of the documents in the Gallileo case in 1867 completely routed them from this position. Marini then declared that the church's stand was 'provisory', i.e., conditional while awaiting further evidence. Then why such dogmatic statements of the church's position, and such strong measures against those holding the views in question? Read Papal decree: absurd, false in theology, and heretical, because the Scripture is the affirmation that 'the sun is the center about which the earth revolves'. . . . 'absurd, false in philosophy, and from a theologic point of view, at least, opposed to the true faith' is the proposition that 'the earth is not the center, of the universe and immovable, but has a diurnal motion.' As for the champions of the new views, they were driven from professorships, imprisoned, and even burned at the stake. My Hone "If this is a fair sample of militant theology's 'previous' action, then I certainly hope that in my case, at least, it will never resort to dogmatically final action. Modern Duplicates "There are all about us present day duplicates of this faulty way of getting rid of unwelcomed views. Say they, 'Theology is only against false science and unproven theories.' Then they proceed like Mt. Bryan in his posthumous address in the Scopes case to declaim about how theology has no quarrel with those who have given us the use of elfertility, medicine, hygiene, etc. But they do not know what it is. In any case it is a peace won by science as by force of arms. Franklin, electrical experimenter, was charged with 'presuming upon God' and 'attempting to control the artillery of heaven.' Dr. Simpson suggesting the use of anaesthetics in obstetrical cases was denounced for attempting 'to void one part of the primal curse on woman." MT. LEBANON BAPTIST A very spiritual early morning prayer meeting was held at the church Sunday morning. A large number was present in the Sunday school and two persons were added to the roll. At 11:30 the pastor preached from 2 Kings 5:1, a very eloquent sermon. At 3:30 o'clock, Rev. C. M. Long preached to a large congregation at this church. B. Y. P. U, rendered a good program at 5:30 p. m. at night, Rev. L. G. Reynolds, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, of Baltimore, Md., and life-long friend of the pastor, delivered an able sermon on the "Power of Prayer," after which four persons received the right-hand-of-fellowship, a n.d Holy Communion was administered to a large congregation. GARRETT'S A. M. E. Z. TEMPEL Sunday school began here last Sunday with Mr. William Sledge, the superintendent in charge. Following class study the lesson was reviewed by Mr. Rudolph Cook. At the morning service the pastor delivered a sermon from Mark 14:12:12. Baptism of three children and one adult followed, after which the Holy Communion was served. Night services began at 7:30, at which time Rev. P. Tucker, of Cartwright Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, Rocky Mt., N. C., preached from St. John 14:18-19. ST. JOHN'S BROTHERHOOD St. John's Brotherhood, the organization of men of St. John's A. M. E. Church, which fosters an educational uplift program, will actively begin its fall work on the third Sunday in September, when a special lecture by Dr. Charles Satchel Morris will be the feature. The public is invited to hear this lecture. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH A notable increase in attendance of the early prayer meeting was observed Sunday morning. A great meeting was witnessed. A great meeting was witnessed. Lott Carey Foreign Missionary Convention remained over and worshipped with us Sunday. Among the many dis linguished visitors were Mr. J. K. Trent, corresponding secretary of the State Sunday School Convention; Mrs. Elizabeth Gillman, Roanoke, member of the executive board of the Women's Auxiliary of the Loft Carey Convention; Rev. Prof. W. T. Watkins, Raleigh, N. C.; Miss Wheeler, Washington, D. C.; Revs. Drs. J. C. Scarlett, of Greensboro, N. C.; S. A. Brown, Petersburg; and E. W. Johnson, of Philadelphia, Pa. Dr. R. H. Bowling having presented himself a wonderful service from John 12:3, subject "A Sad Reminder." This discourse was replete in thought and information and stirred the souls of the great crowd that listened attentively fearing he a word should fall from the inspired speakers lin. A large number returned at night to witness the special sermon as announced "Theology's Lame Duck Explanations." Many visiting gentlemen of the cloth as well as laymen were in attendance searching for TRUTH. This, Dr. Bowling had at his command and everybody most thoroughly enjoyed. In reference to the text, John 7:45-52, many were saying "truly he opened up this scripture to us." The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U were blessed with splendid attention and both organizations seemed to have had on something special. Sorry to report that Grandra, president of the B. Y. P. U, was not at his post because of illness. JOHN WESLEY M. E. CHURCH The Sunday school is still keeping up the good attendance and the spirit is, still being manifested in the classes. At 11:30 a.m. Rev. McGowan preached a strong sermon from Hebrews 6:6, using as a subject, "Crucifying Christ in Norfolk." In the sermon the pastor brought out how the church people are crucifying Christ anew on the cross of negligence, on the cross of gratitude, and on the cross of envy. After the sermon the Holy Communion was administered. At 8 p. m., the pastor preached another able sermon from St. John 4:28, subject, "The Forgotten Waterpot." REV. DIXON'S TENT MEETING The evangelistic campaign conducted by Rev. C. P. Dixon under auspices of Tabernacle Baptist Church was a decided success. There were upwards of 40 to 50 persons who applied for membership in the various churches as a result of conversion at the ten meetings. The pastor of Tabernacle Church will baptize Sunday morning at Second Calvary Baptist Church, Rev. C. P. Madison pastor, after preaching services. Following the baptising the candidates will return to Tabernacle Baptist Church on Moth avenue at 2 o'clock, where Rev. Thompson the pastor, will preach a baptismal sermon. Communion will be administered to $_{1}$ the benefit of the candidates, and the right hand of fellowship will be extended to all members at 8 o'clock services.

Of this number about 20 per cent have taken medicine and are at present successful physicians and surgeons. About 10 per cent have taken dentistry and 20 per cent have taken medicine of study, such as teaching, law theology. The other 50 per cent have found wonderful fields in pharmacy. These statistics give us an idea of what the Negro has done in pharmacy, and should encourage the young men and women of that race interested in this work to improve the many branches of this science in which the Negro has worked. We should also oppose those phases in which he seemingly has not entered to any great extent, so that the Negro will be an outstanding light in the development of pharmaceutical science."

ALLEN SAYS NO QUESTION MARK IN BAPTIST FAITH In Striking Address Of Welcome To Lott Carey Convention, Pastor Holds to "Faith Of the Fathers." Rev. O. J. Allen, pastor of First Calvary Baptist Church, in delivering the welcome address to the Lott Carey Forigne Mission Convention at the first session of its annual meeting in his church, on Wednesday morning, of last week, said that with the Baptists there are no questions relative the virgin birth of Christ and other fundamental beliefs concerning the Holy Scriptures. In his striking address of welcome, among other things, he said: "Beloved co-workers and ambassadors of Jesus, we welcome you to the First Calvary Baptist Church 1. Because one of the founders of your great Convention was the organizer of our church. I refer to that sainted, scholarly and gossipal preacher, Dr. R. Spiller, of Durham, N. C., who has lived to see some of the fruits of his labor flourish and shine even in the dark continent of Africa; as we are supporting a missionary in t he person of Mr. A. C. Faulkner, it is only the missionary seed which Father Madison Lewis held until his hands went down in death, then God sent the lamented, Dr. J. Wallace here from New York, took up his job and did he work to the glory of God and to the denomination, having built this wonderful structure and paying for the same in three and a half years. Also the Master called and he went home, the light was still shining. During the time the flock was sheered, they kept up with this great Convention and sent delegates to Homestead, Pa., the late Mrs. P. J. Wallace, Miss C. L. Colden and Deacon R. L. Holloman, who was secretary of the pulpit committee. In this convention this delegation heard your humble servant sing, "Pray, Pray and I'm Going Through." And being impressed extended us an invitation to conduct a revival which resulted in the call. Like one of old, I felt the least in the Fatherhood of North Carolina, pastoring on the clay hills of Statesville in western North Carolina. Yet under God I came and took the job, and blessed it left and blessed he His Name, the Lord has helped us and we are here doing on best, with the splendid ministers in Tidewater in putting over God's program. Thus, you can readily see how much we longed for your coming. As a church we owe much to this great convention. Because of What You Believe "You believe in the BOOK there are no question marks with you when it comes to God's word being the revealed will of God to man. In the language of the old time preacher you, 'Believe it from kiver to kiver.' We can't understand all of it--but we accept it as true because of who said it. In fact, there are many things out of the Bible we don't understand, i.e. How that sheep, horses, geese hogs, all eat grass and the same grass makes wool, hair, feathers and bristle. (Illustration. 'And David danced before the Ark.' Presbyterian said, 'David danced before them as Ark.' Methodist danced in footwear, the ark.' Baptist said, 'Brothers, don't believe in taking from or adding to, it means David danced then the ark danced.') Further you believe, as all winding streams of a great river lead to a great pond, so does all prophecy lead and ultimately point to the glorious Redeemer who should come into the world. Believe in Christ's Teachings Believe in Christ's Teachings "Again you believe in the Christ and His Teachings as recorded in the Book. Truly there are those in this modern age who have grown so bold as to deny the Virgin birth of Jesus and say, 'They can't accept it because they do not understand,' but the miracleous conception can be answered by the seeds of nature, while it is true that seeds come from plants he head wheat or its kinds he head wheat or its kinds somewhere, the seed had maker. Just so could God make a seed to conceive without the help of man. Furthermore, the fertilization of the seed is in itself a greater mystery than the seed itself. Though strange we believe in the fullness of time God sent His Son. He was born between two animals, the ox and the ass. He died between two thieves, marvelous concord between Jesus Christ the Babe and Jesus Christ the Saviour. From this scene, we can trace his life through every event and change down to our life, and find Him the unchanged and the unchangeable. He was searched for as the 'King of the Jews', so also was the acknowledgement over His Cross at Golgatha. He was hailed as the 'Savior of Mankind' at His birth. So will the coming ages have to reckon with Him. "Theories about Christ may change; creeds may be given new interpretations, but the Love that lived and yet lives with us will never cease to draw the souls of men unto God and will continue to be its own best proof. We welcome you thirdly because of your fundamental principles. 1. "You stand for Baptist Polity, the faith once delivered to the saints." 2. "Racial uplift and integrity. Believing that the ducky sons of Ham shall ever march on to the highest heights of Christian civilization and full power, you will look for dames and princes shall come of Egypt and Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand unto God. 3. "In denominational co-operation in missionary activities on Foreign Fields. This has been demonstrated in the plan adopted by you and the National Baptist Convention, Unincorporated. For What You Have Accomplished 4. "And last we welcome you for what you have accomplished. Twenty-eight years ago you launched your small barge upon the stormy sea of life, while many stood on the shore and mocked an unrestrained attack--saying your ship would sink or run on the rocks or drift to some unknown shore and be destroyed. Yet they forgot that Jesus was on board the ship and even when it seemed that prophecy would come true, The Master Captain of the sea arose and rebukeled the wind and the storm, and praise, be still'. And today men from the East and West, North and South are saying, 'What manner of Convention is this ever, the African business, for Russians singing its praise?' With 40 or more missionaries on the home field spells SUCCESS and nothing more or less." REV. LONG RAPS CITY IN GIVING UP PASTORATE (Continued from Page One) Any attempt put forth by Negroes themselves to provide recreation for their children or young people is met with objection in the form of threats and fires, such as took place at a prospective Negro resort last week. "The new segregation law, in the face of the fact that the Supreme Court of the United States has once declared such a law unconstitutional, is the latest blow aimed at Negro development and expansion in Norfolk. This law, by its operation is designed to keep Negroes circumscribed to overcrowded districts, to the lanes, and alleys and to the swamps, while the white people will be enabled to seize and reserve for themselves all that is best in all directions, even in sections which are Negroed. This 'blessed law' will always be invoked against the Negro in favor of the whites, but never against the whites, favor the Negro. The White Legislature that has issued he might remain in the city to be of service in assisting to fight these evils, and in leading his people safe to shore amid the storm which is about to overwhelm them. He believes that opportunities exist here for the Negro, if safe, safe and strong leadership will rise up to defend his cause. Rev. Long was one of the most prominent colored pastors in the city. He is well educated, and has been an aggressive and sane leader in the fight for the betterment of his people and their conditions in the community. He is youthful, being only 36 years of age, and he resigns here a charge which offers to pay him in salary $3,000 a year in cash and parsonage rents and a charge which has a large and influential membership to take a charge in New Jersey consisting of only 300 members, Sunday school of 125, and a salary of $1,800 a year, with much hard work confronting him. Review of His Work REVIEW of His Work In addition to other things, Rev. Long has done very telling work in the prison; has fought segregation in the prison; has imposed upon his people upon many others; and was a leading factor in the fight for our $500,000.00 high school, taking this and many other contests into the chamber of the City Council, contending for the rights of his people with such wisdom, force and good judgment Complete TIRE Service It's Here For You And by that we mean just what we say.

PHONE 21836 as to always with the respect and sympathy of the city fathers. He also been among those who have championed the cause of a Negro city park, and upheld the claims of the Bus Drivers against extermination by the street car company. He has always proven a safe and ready leader where the interests of his race and the city were involved. At this time, he is president of the Norfolk Negro Civic League, (since resigned.) In an interview with the Journal and Guide, Rev. Long gave out the following statement touching the work of his church: Two hundred and forty-eight souls have been added to the membership under his leadership; he has preached one hundred funerals; married one hundred and ten couples; raised over $75,000.00 through all the different sources in the church, and witnessed a general improvement in the church property itself. All debts have been reduced to about $40,000. The church membership stands at 400. The Sunday school is 408. The church has one of the best choirs in the South, and the Sunday school a strong orchestra. The church has offered Rev. Long in the way of salary and parsonage rents and up-keep, $3,000.00 per year to remain as pastor, but after due consideration, he declines this offer and will accept a smaller church in New Jersey with a membership of 300 persons, S. S. of 125, with much hard work before him, a large debt and at a salary of $1,800.00 per year. The Church's Membership On the face of what must appear strange in accepting a smaller charge, Rev. Long holds that, while Bank Street, herself is a great church containing noble spirits, she has been controlled by a minority faction who are spiritually asleep to its larger opportunities and duties and which constitutes altogether, a non-progressive element with no desire to co-operate with the administration in the effort to reach higher ground. This implies that Rev. Long's vision of a live, active, ever-going church, it is said. On the fifth Sunday night in August in the presence of a large gathering of friends and admirers, Rev. Long pieced his farewell sermon to historic Bank Street Church, thus bringing to a close a most active and successful pastorate of about five years. Rev. Long concluded his work in Bank Street and Norfolk against the strongest possible protest and amid the tears of practically the entire church and regrets of many friends and the city. White a n d d black alike the church's valuable services in his valuable services in Norfolk. This is a striking testimony of his worth as a Christian gentleman and safe leader, when it is recalled that during the long history of eighty old years, Rev. Long is the only pastor ever called by unanimous vote to Bank Street Church, and the only retiring pastor whom the church has soddget to retain. He is also the youngest pastor the church has had, being only thirty-six years of age at this writing. He has held several of the leading churches of the Baptist denomination in the State, and departs for New York to attend the church of one of the leading churches of that State, where he is certain to succeed, judging from his achievements in Norfolk. In discussing the resignation of their pastor, some prominent members of Bank Street Church remarked: "New Jersey is to be congratulated upon the accession of this valuable man within her border, and who has the cause of his people, temporal and spiritual at heart. Norfolk regrets his departure and bids him Godspeed."

Thus from 1887 through 1885 the church paid on the building alone $8,300. It has been a case of evolution with this church, for in 1887 an entirely new church was built on the same spot, as the old at a cost of $20,000, which stood the test of time, but finally evolved into the magnificent building just completed. Membership Now 2285 It is a long span of years from September 3, 1867, to September 13, 1925. There is considerable difference between a membership of nine and that of 2285. And there is no comparison between the $2,050 paid for the first church and the enormous sum of nearly $100,000 which it cost to bring the church up to its present state. But that is the record of this wonderful old church. Many of the members now living have witnessed the changing scenes and have made progress along with the church. Remodeling Done By Negroes This great remodeling work on the church, almost in its entirety, from the architecture down to the removing to the debris was done by Negroes, under the able administration and direction of Dr. A. V. Brown, pastor of the church. Rev. B. Brown, made of broad vision and tremendous vision ability, which he has so clearly demonstrated in the little more than a year that he has been here. It was not, however, Rev. Brown alone who made such wonderful changes in so short a time, but by the assistance of the people who were willing to follow their capable leader. While Rev. Brown was, of course, the prime mover and the guiding spirit, and while at was his keen foresight that enabled him to fathom a way out of a tangled situation, he was surrounded and supported by a coterie of able officers of some of the leading business and professional men who are at the same time Christian gentlemen, thereby comprising one of the brainsiest staffs of deacons that any church in the city can boast of. They were pushed forward by an intellectual cultured congregation whose faithfulness to duty and whose love for the share them to help in this great taking. Rev. John Jasper, the preacher, was born in Fluorina and July 4, 1812. He was be Richmond when quenched and worked on jobs. But it was not that he professed himself and began preaching his power as a preacher is known to be related here, ever there was only one per. The mold in was formed him has been in to try to imitate him in his mackery. The mime hired him to pretend that he was a preacher to preach. He resignedity of his office and agree with anything in keeping with his histories. Jasper said at one God had told him that no exceeded him as preacher. But there has been a happy or more years between ministration of Rev. Rew and Rev. A. W. Brown was the quintessence of his. His sermons were to the heart and action to the soul.

Single Cell Theory “f al these varicties are from a single cell, whence came this vastly potential cell, and is there a limit to its evolutionary power. If not, then what next? Is it not as easy or plausible to believe that creation came from one God, or from one supreme being, who is omnipotent and omniscient, as it ig lo believe that creation ‘came through the ovolutionary process. In other words, is it not as easy to believe the Bible as it is to be- lieve the evolutionists?

Bickett, chairman of the board of officers. With its press identity the school can care for 14 girls Mrs. Bickett reports, but it is hoped soon to enlarge the school Funds Raised By Race The funds for this school and for its maintenance have been raised entirely through the efforts of the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, Mrs. Bickett pointed out, and these clubs have given a large part of the money themselves. With the aid of other interested organizations and individuals of both races, between $22,000 and $23,000 have been raised. State Rejected Offer State Rejected Offer Where this building was completed it was offered to the State to be run as a State institution at the last legislature, but the offer was rejected by the General Assembly.

D. H. Stanton, district superintendent, sounded the gavel calling the conference to order until the last item of business was completed that the churchmen there disassembled had a new point of view and were approaching their tasks from a different angle from that approached by the men of the cloth in other days. After the opening and organization of the body, the chairman, in a few well-chosen words, expressed his thanks for the beautiful harmony and team-work that had prevailed throughout the district during the year. He then trained to the visitors and said the churches on the Griffin District have earned their attention to the salvation of our youth with particular emphasis on the boy. He was not mistaken, for at two o'clock nearly four hundred bright eyed boys sat in the pews of that beautiful church. It was to be the first Boys' Conference held under auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church within the bounds of the District, and, naturally enough, there had gathered interested persons from all over the district. Some of the very best talent in the State for this kind of work, had come to take part in the program and after a session only was introduced and spake only as men on such occasions. During the entire afternoon that host of boys hung on the words of each speaker as if to get the last word that could be said about the new day that had so suddenly become theirs. Never before in the history of the district was gathered such a group of youngsters and never was the church's challenge so pronounced. On Sunday evening, August 2, the conference closed with perhaps the most satisfying results in many such gatherings. Benevolences considerably in advance of last year, passions of the community, an awakened buoyant young life offering itself for service, Southwestern Christian Advocate subscribers, 66 beyond any previous record, but it all a dominates determining spiritual note that gave prophecy of the results of this new point of view in this busy district. ROCKDALE PARK ROCKDALE PARK The Grand Opening of Mt. Calvary Baptist Church on a last Sunday, August 29, was a credit to the city and city in which it is located. Rev. J. M. Gates, the very energetic pastor has been laboring in this field for nine years. The love of his followers is expressed in their unstinted support of the cause. The new edifice is to cost several thousand dollars. On Sunday morning, August 23, a great mass meeting was held. To this meeting were invited all Sunday school teachers and superintendents. At 10:30 prayer meeting was conducted by the following of deacons and stewards: Brothers Rutledge and Hudson, of St. Luke A. M. E. Church, of Glefetree Olive M. E. Church, of Deacon Tucker, Mt. Viney, Deacon Avery, Trucker's Rest, of Edgewood and Deacon S. W. Sawyer, of Fincy Grove, Buckhead. At 11 o'clock the sermon was preached by D. W. F. Pasech. Music was rendered by Beulah Baptist Church choir. At 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon, a splendid program was carried out conducted by Miss M. L. Davis, Mrs. Maude Holley Tolbert and other teachers of the city. These ladies deserve great praise for the splendid service rendered in carrying out this program. After the program was over, friend and guest joined the group. The contest rally between the Usher and Descason Boards again called the people together. The contest was both interesting and profitable. At 4 o'clock, the contest between the B. Y. P. U. and Sunday school took place. The contest was a heated one. At this service a number of our white friends were present and contributed freely in the collection. The results of the contests will be given next week. Dr. P. James Bryant, pastor of Wheat Street Baptist Church, was presented house. The occasion closed with a sermon by Dr. N. T. Thompson, pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church. His chair furnished music. The entering into the new edifice by the Mt. Calvary pastor, members and friends, means the passing of another milestone. Mrs. Roxie Goodwill, of avenue E. returned home last Tuesday, Aug. 18th, after spending a week in Buena Vista, Ga., the guest of her uncle, Mr. Wash Woods. Rev. L. C. Collins, pastor of Reid Street Baptist Church preached at Zion Hill Baptist Church, in New Town, every night last week, beginning Monday night, August 17. One new member was added to the church and the membership in general was greatly revived. Ida Mae Smith, children of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smith, of Johnson street, are spending some time with their grandmother, Mrs. Emma Smith at sunny Side, Ga. Mrs. Emma L Byrd, of Avenue A, is spending some time in Pickens, S. C., visiting her mother-in-law Mrs. Emma Byrd. Goldfish exhibitions in Japan are always held in autumn, as the fish are most brilliantly colored at that time. UNCLE SAM TO COUNT NOSES OF CHURCH MEMBERS Department of Commerce Preparing to Take Census of Religious Bodies Early Next Year, Says Report. Press announcements to the effect that the Department of Commerce is preparing to take a census of the religious bodies of the United States early next year have aroused colored churchmen and officials to the importance of having their organizations prepared to submit accurate reports that will show the progress of their various denominations during the past ten years. As a result of the migration from the South it is generally believed that--considerable decrease in membership and in the value of church charity will be reported in that section of the country by several denominations without corresponding increase in the northern states, due to the neglect of those who moved North to connect themselves with the church organizations to which they formerly belonged. At the last census of religious bodies, taken in 1916, there were reported among the largest exclusively Negro denominations 21,112 National Convention Baptist organizations with 2,938,579 members the University with 14,118,492. The A. M. E. fellow with 6,536 organizations, 148, 355 members, and property valued at $14,694,792. The A. M. E. Z. reported 2,716 organizations, 57,169 members, and property to the value of $7,591,392. The C. M. E. with 2,921 organizations, 245,749 members, and church property valued at $5,619,862. No other denomination at census of ten years ago reported as many as 50000 colored members. It is believed that large increases in church membership and in the value of church property will be shown for certain denominations that have been doing constructive church and educational work among the colored citizens during recent years, and that their increases will probably offset, to some extent, the large membership losses of other denominations.

COLORED STEEL WORKERS SHARE IN HOME BUYING Bethlehem Steel Company Develops Plan Whereby Employees Purchase $13,000,-000 Worth of Homes. Believing that home ownership makes for better, happier and more settled citizens and employees, management of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation has developed a housing plan which is in operation at the company's major plants, and homes valued at $13,000,000 have already been purchased by 3,400 employees of the company. The housing activities are administered by a real estate organization at each of the principal plants. Special attention is given to the improvement of existing houses owned by the company to the construction of houses, where housing facilities are inadequate, and to the helping of employees in the case or creation of homes. Due to the fact that the Bethlehem Steel Corporation gives employment to hundreds of colored men it is believed that this system of aiding their workers, will greatly reduce the labor turnover among this class of wage-earners white desire for permanent employment and residence depends so largely upon the question of a adequate housing and educational facilities.

Dr. News of the City of Portsmouth and Suburban Territo FORMER RESIDENT HERE ON JERSEY DEMOGRATICTICKET Friends of William B. Brandon, formerly of Portsmouth but now a practicing lawyer in Newark, N. J., will be interested in knowing that he is a candidate for the Jersey assembly on the regular Democratic ticket. The Democratic State platform of New Jersey says: "We denounce lynching as destructive of one of the most sacred rights guaranteed by the constitution. We pledge our utmost care and our utmost guarding of the inalienable rights of every citizen of the Republic. We invite the support of all patriotic citizens regardless of creed, race or social position." In his campaign literature Mr. Brandon adamishes his fellow-citizens that "If you stand for a square deal for the Negro in politics support the Democratic policies." That is not a friendly opinion of Mr. Brandon, but a little matter of geography makes a lot of difference in politics in these United States.

In se aang and singleness of purpose, in its zeal ard enthusiasm to- ward that purpose and in constructive ac- complighments it was outstandingly remark- able. During the four-day meeting more than $49,000 in cash was raised to be ex- pended under direction of the convention in christianizing the pagan worshippers of Africa, Haiti and other foreign lands. But even more strikingly impressive than the raising of that splendid sum of money were the reports describing the work already ac- complished on the’ mission fields, by the Lott Carey Convention and the speech of the ed- ucated native African, a product of mission- ary efforts, who told of the zeal of his be- nighted people to hear the Christian gospel and to grasp the civilizing influence of the ‘Western world. Any person who attended any one of the sessions of the convention or of the women’s auxiliary must have come away with a more difinite perspective of the needs, hopes and progress of foreign mis- sions and with an awakened consciousness of the nearness of the cause to himself or her- self. It is apparent to those directly engaged in foreign missionary work and to the laity, who must provide the budgets, that the thing most needed is greater effectiveness at Jower costs. It seems that the Lott Carey Convention, devoted exclusively to foreign missions and specializing in that kind of service, is peculiarly adapted for carrying out a wonderful program for christianizing the heathen. That the organization has already effectively addressed itself to such a program was conclusively shown in the reports of its officers and in their re-conse- eration to the work. Moreover, it shows that our race is neith- er forgetful nor disdainful of whence it came, when $19,000 can be so quickly raised for the purpose of carrying civilization to its ancestral kin. Our ‘Two Billion Dollars of Values ‘The Tulsa meeting of the National Negro Business League appears to have been « great success, The people of the place appear to have redeemed themselves from the savage rioting they were guilty of a few years ago. From”all accounts they made a gratifying showing in civic public spirit, which should augur well for the fulure relations of the race groups which make up its mixed citizenship and which should live and labor together in the utmost goodwill. Dr. Robert R, Moton, president of the League, did well to stress the disposition of the sons of the.race not to follow up the bus- iness interests of their fathers but rather to go aftet some other activity, thus. losing the advantages gained by the fathers upon which the sons could and should build. That has been and is one of the greatest of the drawbacks of the race in its business devel- opment. The young men and women should take the closest and most sympathetic in- terest in the business interests of their pa- rents, learning all about them hy active par- ticipation and study, with the end in view of bettering those interests and taking them ever when the time comes to do so, We should continually hammer this idea into the heads of our young people, which the young peuple of other race groups appear to take to ws naturally as ducks take to water, and in the third and fourth generation they have large and rich business interests as the outcome of the experience and growth. Dr. Moton estimated that the property values of the race today are $1,800,000,000. ‘They must easily be $2,000,000,000. That is a splendid showing and one that should inspire us with renewed determination to get and hold our proper share of the wealth of the country, We are doing that. The “wondeful development of our banking and insurance interests shows this to be so un- mistakably, as they ure the real reflectors of the finandial standing of a group or com- munity. And our landholdings appear to be con the increase. ‘That is good in many ways. They who own the land own those who live upon it, And unusual opportunities to ac- quire land in the Southern states-are being afforded us by the disposition of the young white men to desert’the farms for the large citics, where they hope to get rich quick. Many of our young folks have the same dis- position, but they do not always fare as well in the large cities as they dreamed of or as they would’ do by remaining upon their own farms. Two billion dollars of property values gguthered within fifty years, tell a story of race struggle and sacrifice and success which should cheer and encourage us all to greater efforts, ‘ To The Mothers and Potential Mothers Below we quote in full an editorial which appeared in a recent issue of the Lédger-Dis- patch under the caption, “Tragedy.” To our mind it expresses lofty sentiments and a sublime appeal. We commond it to the / reading and to the meditation of every young and care-worn mother, who, sometimes, in ‘a moment of mental depression, looks out of envious eyes on the gay and care-free childless married woman and indulges an unuttercd wish that she too had escaped the responsibilities of motherhood, We commend it to the reading of that young mother who has allowed herself to become deluded with the idea that life offers its uppermost Joys to the woman who is fyee of the bur- deng and caves of maternity. And we com- mend that editprial to the reading and the profound meditation of the young married woman, who is childless by design, and who, while basking in the sunlight of gaioty and artificial pleasure, looks derisively at her child encumbeted sister and to herself gives a Pharisaical sigh, “Thank God Tam not as others.” Here iz the editorial. Read it, mothers and potential mothers, and to the former, every Lime family cares depress you, read it again: “The child abandoned by its mother in a Norfolk hotel has recived endless sympathy, which is well for the haby and well for the people whose own lives are enriched by the pity they feel for a helpless mite of humanity. “But the really tragic figure in the care is not thé baby. ‘The tragic figure is its mother. The hounds of the law are on her trail, but the danger that they will pull her down is not the great: est danger that she faces. Indeed, to es cape scot-frec might be the worst of misfortunes for her. It would seal her spiritual doom. . “Abandonment of her child meant for that girl only escape from ceaseless worry, distraction and care. Like many, ‘one is tempted to say most young people, she was incapable of understanding that care, loil and responsibilily are far from being unmixed evils. Her barren imagination was unable to visualize any other good Jife than a care-free life. She could’ not comprehend that there is a wide difference between pleasure and Joy. “And so she has slammed behind her the gate to the wise woman's para- dise and’ turned to that of the fools. She will never know the spiritual en richment that is the reward of a moth- ers’s devotion to her child. Upon ‘her will never rest that beatitude that makes wrinkled faces grow fairer year by year, that touches gnarled and toil-stained hands with beauty, that lends to a Gig- ure bowed under the woight of time and to a head streaked with gray, grace unknown to lissome youth, a grace that is immortal. “She will grow old and ugly, and the whole world will view her ugliness with coldly realistie eyes. There will not bo even one before whose gaze her years of devoted Jove have drawn a magic veil through which, even as she totters to the grave she may appear old, indeed, but never, never ugly. She has rejected the one chance given to a woman to make herself immortally beautiful.

This is a splendid idea, but what is more to its advantage is:to create also some kind of employment which will furnish a living to the Negro youth when he will have com- pleted his education. Already we have an overhead of young educated Negroes, with no jobs in sight, and it is quite essential that, as we advance in learning, we may also find it possible to advance in places of some sort which will teach us some way to intel- ligently put our education into a living. Newport News Star. Negro History In School Curriculum There were kingdoms in Af- riea as glorious and as brilliant as those of the Goths, the Van- ¢als, the Huns, the Angles, the Saxons, the Jutes and the Franks. ‘There were govern- ments, laws, industrial and eco- nomic manifestations which ri- valed the eatly kingdoms of Eu- rope. While German savages were fighting and quarreling in the forests of Germany, king- doms were flourishing in Africa. The Arab conquests of the sev- enth and eighth centuries and the later periods eaused the, decline of these empires. The same tate might have come i6 Europo if Charles Martel had not turned back the eastern conquerors as they were advaneing into Eu- rope at Tours in 732. There Christian and Mohanimedan civ- ilizations struggled, and it was detormined that henceforth Eu- ropean civilization should be Christian and should take from the East only what was desirable for its own advancement. In Af- rica, the Mohammedan waves of Ottoman and Seljuk Turks swept over the African kingdoms leav- ing only ruins in their wake. Africa and Europe for centuries had withstood repeated assaults, but the permanent occupation of these periods gave to Northern and Céntral Afviea the same lethargy which came to ‘Spain until Ferdinand of Aragon and Isubclla of Castile had freed Spain from the Mohammedan yoke by capturing Granada in 1192, and immediately thereafter the substitution of the Inquisi- tion and religious bigotry con- tinued the decline of Spanish eiv- ilization. In the study of history from the texts which are used in our schools, Afriea is regarded only as a source for a labor supply and as the habilat of savages through all ‘times and as the home of degraded civilizations and peoples. Unfortunately, the average historian who prepares a history text-book knows little about Africa prior to the rise of the Slave Trade; and more unfortunately, if he does know of these facts, he does not sce Imowledge’ which is available to “Up From Monkey Or Down From God” Dr. Charles Satchel Morris Talks on Evolution frauds in connection with the Java man, and the Neanderthal man,’ but I want to leave fakes and frauds and come to some- thing that is steadfast and eter- nally true and that you can rest your sou) upon forever—it is the unbroken word of Gol. “The grass withereth, the ower fad- eth but the word of God abideth forevor.” Only Account of Origins In Genesis God gives the only areount the human race hus of origins, Moses begins with grasses, herbs, fruit trees, water animals, birds, beasts, cattle and nine times in Genesis says, God made each after its kind, That means that grass would always reproduce grass and herbs, herbs; fruit trees, fruit trees; bugs, bugs; snakes, snakes; pole cats, pole exts; man, man and nothing else. Darwin admitted not a single ease of one species going into another had ever been recorded by trained observers. But Moses is confirmed in every barnyard and every farmer's field. In the barnyard a hen lays hen eggs; a duck, duck CgES; 2 Goose, geese eggs; a tur- key, Lurkey eggs. In other words they cach and all obey the law. Moses said God gave to each species that it was to reproduce —not some uthor kind, but its kind.” So in the farmer's field—there the mare has a colt;:,the cow, a calf; the sow, a-pig; the ‘sheep, a lamb; and the goat,,a kid, each after its kind, I have. been ‘to Afvica, where there-are no fences and many- animals, but the elephant never turng up with a young: hippopotamus or thi- nocerous but always with a young elgphant, and’ soall the thousandof animals there obey the inexorable law of God—each after its kind.” This law oper- ates from the algae up to man.

WESLEY EDITOR'S NOTE: “Negro History in the School Curricu- lum" is a monograph which covers the substance of an ad- dress delivered before the ‘Veachers' Institute of the 10th- 13th Division and Allied High and Normal Schools of Wash- ington, D. C.. January 30, 1925 hy Dr, Charles H. Wesley of the Department of History of Howard University. The speech or the monograph is re- -garded by leading educators as a very able treatise of a sub- ject, which of late, has increas- ingly engaged the attention of nedagogists, and invited the in- terest of students. Last week the introduction lo the speech was published, Below “The Negro In Africa,” ig discussed, Readers af the Journal and Guide are invited to follow this interesting dis- cussion which is being pwb- lished serially in these col- umns, The Negro In Africa In the first place, let us note the place of Africa in any edu- cational plan for the study of the history of man's past, The eivili- zations of the Greeks, the Roman the German, the English, the French and other nations are embraced in the modern study of history, But the treatment of the African civilization has been left to Anthropology and to Eth- nology. Therefore, the first named countries haye a place in the school curriculum, but the contribution of the latter element is noglected and denied a place cither in courses or in the teach- ing of general history in the modern school. ‘The geographies which are used in the schools give pictures of naked savages in Africa as examples of this people. While beautiful pictures of Goth, Hun, and Vandal war- riors clad in skins—which were used, by the way, not so much because of the desire to hide their naked bodies as because off the requirement of the cold climate —theso pictures give concepts to young America af the glories of the European past. But why stuily the Lribes of one continent and neglect the tribes on the other, when both of them have contributed to the making of America? XL Evolution And The Bible. No Proofs, Only Guesses To Support Evolution. Every: Barnyard, Farmer’s Field And All Life On Earth Sup- port Moses in the Book of Genesis. In other articles I have shown the fatal admissions of the evo- tulionists that destroy evolution as when Darwin wrote his first edition of the “Deseent of Man, man's ancestors were hairy, bad tails, dwelt in trees and before that lived in water and then had to change that and leave it out of all later editions, though he said there was “no doubt” about it, Also his admissions that though thre are between 2 and three million species and many trained observers “no record of single speci¢s Lransmuting into anuther” that admission is the open grave in which Darwinism ought to be decently buried and forgotten. J have written of Husley’s “BIOPLAST” ie,” life stuff and how Huxtey had to ad- mit his Bioplast which he located in the mud of the ocean was a sheer guess without a particle of warrant brought out by the in- tense desire to explain life and Jeave God ovt and how the United States ship exposed him as a “nature faker” and wrung from his unwilling pen the ad- mission “from the nonliving no life comes.” T have shown that Haeckel, the great German evolutionist, was caught manufacturing evidence in favor of evolution by drawing pictures of animals that did not exist and was dismissed from Jena University for his false evi- dence to try to bolster up evolu- tion. Prof, Osborne, in the New York Museum of Natural His- tory is doing the same.thing and his curate has been exposed for distorting a gorilla paw to make it look more human. If space permitted I could shew the Brilliant Kingdom the propriety of stating them to a reading public who would not be very well pleased with the reading of it. And yet, if the ob- ject of study is to seek the truth, then it should be the purpose of the schools to give the truth to the younger generations and not the concepts which are narrowed by-the special interests of text- book authors. Volume of New Truth There are volumes which are constantly bringing into our view new tfuth concerning the races of mankind and/more especially voncerning Africa and its peo- ples. The opening of the tombs of kings Tirbiqua and Tutank- amen has aroused new interest in things African, The continued publication of the Harvard Af- rican Studies has kept before the scholarly world the newer diseov- erids. "Scientific, geographical and anthropology societies ate having these facts presented at their occasional meetings. Our own Smithsonion Institution has not becn negligent in arousing in- terest in this field, Not so long ago, I came across a bulletin of the Geographical Society con- taining an article under the cap tion, “Did Africa people Eu- rope?” Why should not the schools join in this movement to discover and disseminate new truth? Of course, it is evident that the war of research in this field should be undertaken by those who are trained technically under competent direction for the purpose, by those who under- stand the languages and by those who have visited the libraries of Europe und North Africa in search of material. Neverthe- less, there is a great body of knowledge which is available to all studonts 6f history, and whieh all may read, understand and pass on to another who does not know.

If evolution were true—now after millions of years there’ ought not to be any algae or protoplism—they ought to have left home forever and been evolved into some higher species, but God’s law stops them. God says algae will always be algae, and behold it is 0. God's law says each after its kind, and so we find it always and every- where. In other words nowhere do we find evidence and proof of; evolution—everywhere proofs und evidence of what God says through Moses in the first chap- ter of Genesis, Still proud God- less, stubborn science, unwilling for God to be true though every man be proved to be a liar, has three costly expeditions but now, one in South Africa, one. in China, and one in the Himalaya mountains in a vain hunt for the misting link to try'to bolster up the badly damaged theory of ev- olution which is on the verge of collapse for lack of evidence. What scienée wants to do is prove that’ there was no Adam, so as to prove that there was no fall, and therefore no need of being born again, and therefore no need of the death of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ‘The whole Bible swings on those two little words “as” and “so” 9s in Adam all die so in Jesus Christ shall all be made alive, and God is not going to fillow scientists to monkey with a matter so trans- cendant and ‘so glorious. Instead of proud man trying to do away with Adam and claiming kinship with tad poles, snakes, frogs, lizards, pole cats, hyenas, etc., man ought candidly to admit he is a member of a fallen, sinful Jost ruce and gladly and grate- ‘fully acknowledge God’s’ infinite ° and boundless mercy in allowing His son to take on nature to re~ deem us and save us fiom the guilt of sin and from hell, which Is the ultimate, certain, inescap- able and terrific poalty of sin- unless man repents, believes in the Lord Jesus Christ and is born from above so leaving the doomed -nature ‘of the old first ‘Adam, he gets a nature like the Oe ee ae att Path of Civiljzani history that the path of ef tion across Europe hag# northward and westward ‘its source.
