Paul, Minnesota ST. PAUL W EXPOSES MAN KU KLUX MEMBER Man Held In Kingston Murder Investigation Alleged Organizer in K. K. K. Rank The following paragraph was cut from the columns of The Midway News, a weekly paper published in St. Paul: Albion Holden, Klansman No. 1227, prominent as a local organizer in Ku Klux organization, is held by public authorities as a material witness in the murder of George Kingston, a Negro laborer in South St. Paul stockyards. Kingston was shot down by another Negro who at the time roomed at Kingston's home; the murderer used Klansman Holden's gun. Holden was also a roomer at the Kingston home and has been living in Negro families during the past 18 years. Klansman Holden's predicament is the cause of considerable mortification to Klansman Trocke, St. John, Chapman and other co-workers in the Koo Koo ranks. Tibion W. Holden, paper hanger and decorator, well known to many of the leading Negro families of this city for the past eighteen years, during which time he has lived at various homes of the group, attending church and social functions of the race, and at present at the County jail as a material witness in the recent murder of George Kingston, a Negro laborer in South St. Paul stockyards, is a prominent local organizer in the Ku Klux organization. Kingston is alleged to have been shot when on his way to work by Elmer Douglas, Negro, a roomer at the Kingston home, where Holden also roomed. The killing involved the widow of Kingston who was placed under arrest at the grave of her late husband during the funeral service. In his alleged confession, Douglas, said that he shot Kingston to get the insurance money for Mrs. Douglas; that they were lovers, and it was their intention to get married after a reasonable time elapsed. The revolver was the property of Klansman Holden. Patronized by Race Holden before coming to St. Paul was a farmer in the neighborhood of Stillwater, Minn. He evinced great interest in the welfare of the race, not only contributing money to its activities and personally attending the same, but lived with several well known families. Working at his trade during the summer months his business was almost entirely from the race, notwithstanding the fact that there are several competent Negroes engaged in the paper hanging and painting business who should have been preferred had the proper race spirit prevailed. Holden worked in the summer, months only, earning sufficient during this time, from the race, to tide him over the long cold winter, which was spent mostly at his room engaged in reading various anti-Catholic publications. Holden wrote and published a book of poems in which he villified the white race for its unjust treatment of the blacks. This book was circulated about ten years ago and was a bitter arranelment of his own race. Whether this was done to win favor with the Negro people or not is not known, but he certainly enjoyed liberal patronage, all that he could take care of, from the race. Beware of Gift Bearer This is a sad commentary upon the intelligence and race loyalty of the people of St. Paul. Living with the race, at his trade, and attending church and other functions, this man was well prepared to give information to its hooded foes. This exposition of a traitor, who wormed his way into the confidence of the race, should create greater circumspection in the future. Beware of the gift bearer. We are informed that it is the custom of the K. K. K. to hide behind a hood or mask. It affords the Bulletin-Appeal considerable satisfaction to tear the shield that has hid this man for so many years and show him up in his true colors. THE MUSEUM OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN A. E.

Harris, was elected one of New York City's aldermen from 1921 to 1923, over John W. Smith, by 112 votes. Harris, a colored man, editor of the New York News, was the nominee of the republican party. He was opposed by John W. Smith, the democratic candidate. Smith was given the election by democratic officials and served the term as alderman. Harris contested the election in the courts, taking it eventually to the appellate division of the Supreme Court. Harris will now sue his erstwhile opponent for the salary the latter received while functioning as alderman. What effect, if any, this decision will have on the legality of city ordinances passed through the votes of smith is not known. Mr. Harris is a brother of Dr. Rhoderic Harris, one of the leading dentists of Minneapolis. Dr. Harris was graduated from Iowa University and passed the State Board of Dental Examiners last June. He opened an office at Franklin and 20th avenues. Recently he moved his office to a more central location in the loop. He now occupies suite 3 and 4, Webb Bldg., at Hennepin avenue and 3rd street. The New York News is one of the best edited papers in the country. INTER-RACIAL PROGRAM PLANNED AT MEETING The first annual Membership Banquet of the Central Avenue Branch Y. W. C. A., was held Thursday evening, January 15, and was well attended. At the meeting of the Colored Work Committee Wednesday morning plans were made for an interracial program at the main Y. W. C. A., on Race Relation Sunday, February 8. The program will be made up of both groups. The sewing class is meeting on Thursday evening from 7 to 9, with a good enrollment. Miss Sell and Miss Eddy from the University of Minnesota are the instructors. FORTY-EIGHT YEARS OF PROGRESS IN ST. JAMES CHURCH ing is to be erected on Rondo street near Mackubin. This building is to be two stories high with a ground story basement, and is estimated to cost approximately $40,000.00. It will be equipped with a large auditorium, stage and dressing room convenience; two lodge rooms, lounging room, ladies parlor, cafeteria, recreation rooms, lodge offices, two store rooms and other modern conveniences. The auditorium will seat 600 persons. The installation of the newly elected officers of Gopher Lodge was held Wednesday night. Dr. L. R. Hill assumed the duties of Exalted Ruler, succeeding Mr. C. W. Wigington. The lodge could not have selected a better fitted person to carry on the progressive program of the lodge, and the particularly important work ahead of it at this time. His very commendable service as an officer of Gopher Lodge during the past three years, together with his undeniable ability as an executive, augurs well for the realization of the extensive program before the lodge. Rev. W. M. H. GRIFFIN DES MOINES, IOWA. Almost fifty years ago a band of Christian men and women gathered in the basement occupied by Hilton Giles on "Bridge Square," and organized what is known today as St. James A. M. E. Church; the first church organization at that time was formed by Rev. J. R. Marley. Those present were Mesdames Addie Henry, Belle Smith, Annie Moffitt, Mary McClain, Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Lyles, Messrs. Daniel Harding, Hamilton Giles, Jesse Armstrong and James Henry. Many of this number have long since departed for their Heavenly home, the only remaining ones are Mrs. Addie Bellesen, Mrs. T. H. Lyles, Mrs. Annie Moffitt and Rev. Daniel Harding, all of whom reside in this city and are faithful members. Meetings were held for two or three successive Sundays, after which a building was secured on the corner of Fourth and Franklin street. Rev. Marley remained until the end of the annual conference; on account, of inadequate support he did not return. The next pastor, Rev. Lee, remained barely a year. With lots of well wishes, but not enough to properly support a minister, and after struggling for a year and a half, the members were forced to abandon their present quarters and work in that direction. New St. James African M. E. Church now being erected. It seems peculiarly fitting that of the many years of hoping and striving for a permanent home of its own, Gopher Lodge should have placed at its head a man of his standing and sterling worth to guide its destinies. Dr. Hill is a graduate in dentistry of Meharry Medical College, and is prominently connected with church and civic affairs. Mr. C. W. Wigington, retiring Exalter Ruler of Gopher Lodge No. 105, is closing one of the most progressive years in the history of the lodge. Mr. Wigington is the architect and designer of the beautiful modern building which is to be the future home of Gopher Lodge. Much credit is due Mr. Wigington for his untiring efforts in behalf of the Lodge, which has enjoyed a sound business administration during his term of office. Unstinted praise may be well accorded Mr. Hector Hunter, Past Exalted Ruler and Chairman of the Building Committee. He is still at the helm, making a strong appeal to the membership in engineering this New St. James African M. E. Church now being erected. Rev. Simons Called In the spring of 1878 the conference sent Rev. Henry Simons to see what could be done in the way of reestablishing the church. After making another attempt, meetings were held in the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association, corner Fifth and Wabasha. Numbers increased, and the basement of the Odd Fellows block was then used. A neat little chapel was fitted up by Brothers Daniel Harding and Thos. H. Lyles; the walls were newly decorated; a new carpet covered the entire floor, four dozen new chairs, a pulpit, Bible and Bible stand were put in and the first organ was purchased. Mrs. T. H. Lyles formed the original choir and became the first organist, serving several years. Rev. Simons remained until conference convened in the summer of 1879 . He was succeeded by Rev. Wm. Brown in the same year. The place of worship was again moved to East Seventh street. Rev. Asbury followed in 1880, then in 1881 Rev. R. Knight arrived. Church Building Purchased The church building at Tenth and Cedar street, formerly owned by the Jewish Church Society, was bought for the sum of $400. Mrs. Ella Ber- J. B. C. W. WIGINGTON splendid proposition to a successful realization. The entire Building Committee looks forward to effective steps in the near future to this end. ST. JAMES CHURCH ry and Mrs. Ed. Morgan raised the first $100 applied to the purchase. Among the early and earnest workers were: Messrs, and Mesdames J. K. Hilyard, A. Bragg, C. Waldon, I. Evans, E. Morgan, Chas, Lazenberry, W. Queen, Mesdames James Bannister, W. Liggins, George Hall A. Towns, Mr. Richmond Taylor and others. Later a Mr. Lytle purchased the ground on which this building stood, and the church was forced to secure a lot for the church building elsewhere. In 1881, Lot 12, Block 4, Elfelt, Berheim and Arnold's Addition, at Fuller and Jay street was purchased from Philip Riley for $1,000. Rev. Daniel Harding advanced $350 for the first payment. The church building was moved from Tenth and Cedar street onto this lot at a cost of $350, making a total of $1750, of which $900 had been paid. The Church was dedicated and took the name of St. James A. M. E. Church. After three years ministry Rev. Knight was succeeded by Rev. Charles Jacobs in 1884, who remained until all indebtedness was paid and plans made and accepted for remodeling. Under the next pastor, Rev. John M. Henderson, in 1881, the church was remodeled and furnished at a cost of $11,000, of which $8,000 was raised (Continued on page 4) Appoint St. Paul Man To Fill High Office X (Courtsey of the St. Paul Pioneer Press-Dispatch.) (Courtesy of the St. Paul Pioneer Press-Dispatch.) Hon. Frank B. Kellogg, well known resident of St. Paul, present Ambassador to Great Britain, has been selected by President Coolidge to succeed Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes. Mr. Kellogg's many friends in his home city are delighted with his appointment. New Interurban to Minneapolis Pledged ByTraction Company Property owners on Rondo street, and adjourning thereto, are jubilant over the announcement by officials of the street railway Co., that a new interurban line to the Mill city would soon be underway. The new project is taking definite form, bonds will be issued and placed on the market as soon as the Railroad and Warehouse Commission report on the valuation of the company's property. The new line will connect with the Rondo and Maria line, crossing the new Franklin avenue bridge to Minneapolis. This route will be the shortest to the two cities, and will be popular with passengers desiring to save time. This will bring Rondo street into prominence as a semi-business street, and in a few years a complete business street, the same as University avenue. This intelligence is of great interest to our group who are large holders of property in the vicinity. UP-TOWN BALL CLUB CHANGES NAME; ACTIVE John Davis, the well known manager of the Up-Town Sanitary Baseball Club, announces a change in the name of that organization. The club will be known as the "O. Howell Giants of St. Paul." Manager Davis has been busy getting together new material and promises a team that will play fast and classy ball next season. The club will be available to play every day and is open to all comers. Every effort will be made to bring credit to St. Paul by an invincible aggregation of players. Manager Davis invites correspondence from local and outside clubs. Address: John Davis, 339 Wabasha st., St. Paul. Phone Cedar 8081. MINNEAPOLIS MAY JOIN COLORED BALL LEAGUE Minneapolis may be a member of the colored baseball league. A representative of Rube Foster, president of the Negro Baseball association, is at present in Minneapolis, endeavoring to arrange for the backing for the club and to make an agreement for the use of Ncollet park when the Millers are on the road. The colored organization has developed rapidly in the past three years and its teams are drawing large crowds. Last year the clubs prospered in Chicago, Kansas City, Indianapolis and St. Louis. The teams are composed of excellent players and play a brilliant article of baseball. Mr. Charles H. Miller and Mrs. Nora Harmon were united in marriage Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Hall. Rev. W. H. Griffin performed the ceremony. PRICE: FIVE CENTS DR. A. F. HILYER OF HOWARD 'U' PASSES AWAY Well Known Citizen of Washington, D. C., Dies after Short Illness Washington, D. C., Jan. 16.—Dr. Andrew F. Hillyer, 66, veteran trustee of Howard university and one of the best known persons in this city and the East, passed away at his residence, 1883 Vermont Ave. N. W., Tuesday afternoon after an illness of three weeks. The deceased became suddenly striken on Friday after Christmas. His illness developed into heart complications after a pneumonia attack, and in spite of the valiant fight which he made to rally, he continued getting steadily worse until the end, Tuesday. Mr. Hilyer has lived in Washington 43 years, more than 20 of which were spent in the service of Howard university, as member of the executive and finance committees. He compiled the first survey of Negro business in the district 30 years ago and 20 years ago was president of the Coleridge-Taylor Choral society. At the time of his death he was in the accountant division of the United States government service. Two years ago Mr. Hilyer was married to Dr. Amanda V. Gray, prominent social and welfare worker in New York city, who was with him at the time of his death. Other relatives surviving are a son and daughter, Gale P. Hilyer, Minneapolis, and Mrs. Kathleen Hilyer Bingham of this city, and one sister, Miss Jennie Hilyer, Tallahassee, Fla. Dr. Hilyer has many friends in the Twin Cities, where he lived for many years. He had the distinction of being the first colored graduate of the University of Minnesota. N. A. A. C. P. Forum Meet Held at Litle The Forum of the St. Paul Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. met on last Sunday at Little Pilgrim. Quite a large and enthusiastic audience was present to hear Rabbi L. J. Rothstein deliver one of the most excellent addresses of the season. His subject was "The Message of the Coffee Pot," which he stated was based upon the story of a little boy who seemed determined to reach for the coffee pot, which contained hot coffee. After several unsuccessful attempts to secure the coffee pot, while his mother was answering a telephone call, he seized this opportunity of reaching for it, and got it, with all its contents. It is needless to say that he was severely burned and was indisposed for more than three weeks. This lesson was beautifully pictured and compared to present day life, from the disobeying of the law by the bootleggers, the Man Higher Up, and also the breakers of the Ten Commandments, which was recently put on the screen at the Metropolitan Theater. He stated that such pictures should be seen by all ministers. He also stated that pictures of that class were worth more lessons than could be learned from hundreds of sermons, as more people can be reached through this medium than could ever be reached through the pulpit. Mrs. Winona Shackleford rendered a beautiful solo at the beginning of the meeting. APPEARS ON PROGRAM AT WARREN SCHOOL OF MUSIC Mr. Nathaniel A. Evans, engineer at Engine Company No. 9, heads the list of those who are to appear on the program at the recital given by the Warren School of Music, January, 19, 1925, at 8 P. M. Mr. Evans is a baritone solist and the only one of our group appearing on the program. Having heard Mr. Evans on other occasions in the Twin Cities, we are confident that he will make equally as good a showing, if not better, on this occasion. "Deep River" (Coleridge Taylor,) "Nobody Knows de Trouble I See" and "Venetian Love Song" are some of the selections Mr. Evans will render on this occasion.

Notice—Editors may use any non-copyrighted matter in this paper by giving The Bulletin-Appeal credit for the same.—The Publisher. Announcement of the selection of Hon. Frank B. Kellogg to succeed Chas. Evans Hughes whose resignation as secretary of state becomes effective, March 4th, by President Collidge, will meet the general satisfaction of republicans throut the country. Especially gratifying is the news to his friends in this state, and the city of St. Paul, where he has made his home for many years. Mr. Kellogg is eminently qualified for his high post of duty. He was born at Potsdam, N. Y., and with his parents settled on a farm in Olmstead county, Minn., when but 9 years of age, where he done a mans work until he was 19. He read law at Rochester, Minn., and at the age of 21 was admitted to the bar. Few lawyers have attracted more national attention than has Mr. Kellogg. From humble beginning he won his way by an indomitable will power to acquire an education and equip himself for the profession he now honors. His life is an example of the possibilities of American youth. The race has in the new secretary a staunch friend. We are mighty proud of his selection. AN ANONYMOUS LETTER ANSWERED The Bulletin-Appeal acknowledged the receipt of an anonymous letter taking it to task for publishing certain advertisement matter. As a rule no attention is given to an unsigned communication, but in this case we feel that the writer was motivated by the best of intention for the welfare of the paper, and is therefore entitled to a word of explanation. The newspaper is a business institution that renders service to the public. Its columns are for sale for advertisement publicity. In this respect it is not unlike the doctors, the lawyer, or any public servant, when paid to serve its patrons. The question as to social status, color, or financial standing, has nothing whatever to do with the matter as long as it is not obscene and the advertiser has the ability to pay. The advertisement referred to by the writer, was one that the daily papers would accept and publish if paid for, and it would have been unfair for this paper—a race paper—to refuse to do the same thing. News, and advertisements, concern a variety of people of different minds. Society is complex in its makeup—it is composed of blends and grades, sets and groups. Not all are social equals. This is true of the Negro as well as the rest of mankind. We are blamed by one set of readers for our failure to publish more sporting news, and by another element for not having more church news. We are trying to conduct a general newspaper to the best of our limited ability. While this is not a sporting paper, it is not a Sunday-school paper, either. The church, although solicited from time to time to do so, will not advertise with us. Yet it is essential that it should. Strangers within our gates are at a loss to locate the church of their choice. Only last Sunday, a Minneapolis church was packed to overflowing thru advertising in the papers an announcement that a little girl would deliver a sermon from her father's pulpit. It pays to advertise. Other cities maintain a roster of churches, lodges, clubs, etc., in their race papers, for which they are paid. The cost at best is only nominal and would not work a hardship. But the twin cities are commolent and seemingly enjoy provincialism. We publish, nevertheless, all of the activities of the church, lodge, and clubs, for which we do not exact any charge, whatever. The policy of this paper is to print nothing indecent, even tho classified as news. When such matter occurs the objectionable features are deleted. We appreciate the fact that this is a home paper and we will not outrage the ethical sensibilities of any reader within the home circle. Its opinion—its voice—its soul, is reflected thru its editorial columns. It has been morally clean since its inception, and will remain so to its end. However, we invite criticism, and are quite willing to bear the blame of censure if guilty of an indiscretion. The public must be broad enough to differentiate between paid advertisements and the lofty purpose that governs the publication. We should, as a race struggling to arise to a higher plane of living, see the good that is in everyone, and not the evil, only. If this attempted elucidation is sufficient, the writer of the afore mentioned letter will receive a personal reply that will cover more than we think best to publish, by sending us a self addressed envelope. The matter will be held as confidential. Advertisements help to pay the expenses of a newspaper. That the paper should exist is a thing that must always be bourn in mind. Bernard Shaw says that France can raise an army of 15,000-000 black soldiers. If trained to fight as well as those who fought under the French colors in the world war it would be a formidable foe to attack. Why all this feverish preparation for war? The Scripture says, "He that liveth by the sword shall perish by the sword." Advertising Rates Furnished on Application. in second-class matter February 20, 1922, at under the Act of March 3, 1879.

Gleanings from Our Exchanges The Freeman comes to us this week in a brand new garb—new form—new type. But for its familiar heading it would not have been known. The condensed heading on the editorial page allows more space for matter. The Freeman—always one of the ablest journals the race could boast—is to be congratulated for sprucing up in its old days—that it may keep pace with the youngsters. May the new toggery be an impetus for a continuation of usefullness along the lines that have characterized its long career. The Asheville Enterprise, of the 8th, inst., literally plagiarized an editorial from the Bulletin-Apeal. The Enterprise, used the same caption—“An Opportune Time.” That it was an intentional piece of thievery is shown when the city of Asheville was substituted for the city of St. Paul, as appeared in the original. The BVulletin-Apeal has no objection to editors of the press making use of such matter that appear in its columns not under copyright, providing credit is given for the same. The editor of a paper is not setting the highest example for the youth of the race when he himself resorts to petty theft. “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's.” The world is full of folks who are quick to ascribe ulterior motives to very generous act. They ask with uplifted eyebrow: "Was Mary Magdalene sincere? Wasn't it just a transient, hysterical spasm of repentance? And about the box of precious ointment—what proof is there that she didn't steal it?"—Chicago Enterprise. Last of Elaine Rioters Freed By Governor Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 16—The last cial to Chicago Defender.)—The last official act of Governor Thomas McRae of this state before he surrendered his office to his successor. Tuesday, was to sign pardons freeing the last six men held in connection with the Elaine riot. Those freed by the governor are: Frank Moore, Ed. Coleman, Ed Hicks, Frank Hicks, J. E. Knox and Paul Hall. The petition, signed by 800 Arkansas citizens, was presented to Governor McRae by Judge Scipio Jones, who fought consistently for the freedom of these men since their incarceration four years ago. At the time of the trouble 87 men were arrested and given varying sentences; six were sentenced to be hanged. Judge Jones at once interested himself in the cases and succeeded in getting all of the sentences revoked. All of the 87 prisoners have been freed. The last to receive executive clemency before the final pardon Tuesday were seven who were released from custody during the Christmas holidays. Houston Rioters Released from George Hobbs, William Hough, George Parnham and Henry Green, Negroes released, were convicted in connection with the Houston riots and were sentenced to life imprisonment. They were received at the prison more than seven years ago. Thirty of the original sixty-seven Houston rioters still remain in prison. The last of them will be released at the end of three years, provided their records are clear. FIRST RACE AUTOMOBILE CLUB FORMED IN AMERICA The officers of the Twin City Automobile Club would have it known that at the time the club was organized. June 10, 1920, after making investigations throughout the country, find that it was the first regularly organized Negro automobile club in America. Edmund M. Hill, the founder and organizer of the club, was made its president, the first Negro president of an automobile club in America. Mr. Hill's staff included the following: O. C. Hall, first vice-president; J. R. Jones, second vice-president; T. W. Stepp, third vice-president; Mrs. Hazel Craig, secretary; Mrs. Gertrude Willis, assistant secretary; Mrs. D. S.

Alpha Phi Alpha Holds Successful Meetin N.Y.City New York City, Jan. 10.—The most remarkable group of Negro college men ever before to assemble for the definite purpose of seriously discussing fundamental problems of the Negro youth in America and the particular part which the Negro college men and women must play ended a 5-day session in New York City, Wednesday, December 31st, 1924, at 12 o'clock, midnight, when Raymond W. Cannon, the National president of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, declared the Seventeenth Annual convention of that organization closed at the annual banquet held in the 135th street branch, Y. M. C. A., New York City It was this organization which had brought together fully 800 of its members, graduates and undergraduates of the leading American colleges and universities from all parts of the United States, from Maine to California and from Minnesota to Georgia. The concrete result which may be expected to grow out of the action taken by this group will, it is predicted, bring lasting good in connection with the development of the Negro in America, socially, economically, and politically speaking. This serious group of young college men brought inspiration to the great Negro population of New York City and the Influence of this inspiration will be felt throughout the country.

That if you want to find out who "Old Man Law" grabs, watch for "Under the Clock" in next week's Bulletin-Appeal. That some folks take themselves too serious. That the pretty young thing that J. F. danced with at the matinee dance is a grass widow—too bad, son. That "Doc" is going to try out W. N.'s speed some of these days. That the Breakfast Dance made E. L. miss his bath, lunch and dinner next day. That this week's grand prize of a hand-painted garbage container goes to that loud-mouthed ignoramus who insists on telling everybody on the Sixth Ave. street car where he went That we ought to give some prizes to some of these gum chewers who in public places wag their paws to their hearts' content and to thoughtful people's annoyance and disgust. That moonshine is slowly but surely killing some of the public dances. That "moon" is also breaking up some good homes. That a newspaper is damned if it does and damned if it don't. That we won't tell where we saw J. C., H. F., J. S. and A. G. the other night, but if we see them again—good night. That everybody rides taxicabs in these days of alleged hard times. That a certain member of one of the leading fraternities was elected a delegate to the recent convention in St. Louis. He departed on the train but Chicago stopped him; he never reached St. Louis. It's awful now, ain't it. Thankfully yours," SOMEBODY WUZ SAYIN', JR.

Church Dedicated Upon the completion of the remodeling the church was dedicated by Presiding Bishop John M. Brown. Rev. Henderson remained for three years, followed by Rev. D. P. Brown in 1890, Rev. L. H. Reynolds in 1892, Rev. Geo. W. Gaines in 1893, Rev. Burley in 1894, Rev. Scott B. Jones in 1896, and in 1897 Rev. J. C. Anderson, who remained five years. Under his ministry he raised enough money to pay off the mortgage debt and purchased Lot 11 in the same addition for $2,000 and raised $1,200 as a building fund which was applied on the new parsonage. During his pastorate he raised approximately from $12,000 to $15,000 for church purposes which certainly was the most successful financial work ever done in the history of the church organization. Rev. George W. Gaines came next in 1903. Then Rev. R. Seymour, who arrived in 1904 and supervised the erection of the church parsonage built at a cost of $2,700. St. James can be proud that theirs was the first church parsonage built by any organization amongst our group in THE LADY OF THE ROOM MRS. T. H. LYLES One of the Founders of St. James Minnesota. At the expiration of 1904 only a mortgage debt of $1,500 remained from a total of $17,450.00. Celebration In 1905 On the completion of the parsonage when the keys were delivered by the Building Committee to the trustees of the church a grand celebration in the form of an entertainment and social took place March 23, 1905. Some of the speakers were Rev. W. D. Carter, Mr. T. H. Lyles, Rev. Seymour, Rev. J. C. Anderson, Attorney W. T. Francis, Mrs. Kittie Terrill, Mr. J. H. Dillingham and Mr. A. J. Bell. Music selections were rendered by Mrs. R. C. Minor, Mr. Ed. Hall and the Choir. The splendid financial system of the church was inaugurated by Mr. Thomas R. Morgan in January, 1904 under Rev. Galnes pastorate and perfected by a special committee appointed for that purpose which consisted of A. J. Bell, chairman; T. R. Morgan, secretary; Joseph S. Strong; G. B. Lowe, J. H. Dillingham, Mrs. J. Q. Adams, Mrs. Kittle Williams, Mrs. James W. Milton and Mrs. Addie Bellesene. This system began operation in May, 1904 and soon reduced the current expenses besides making improvements to the extent of $165.00. One hundred and ninety-three subscribers contributed to this system including several non-members of the church. Marching Onward At the expiration of Rev. Seymour's term the church was moving onward, Rev. Horace Graves remained five years followed by Rev. H. P. Jones, who now pastors at the Euclid Ave. A. M. E. Church in Pittsburg, Pa., a faithful worker in the Masters Vineyard. Rev. Jones' term of five years was followed by Rev. J. P. Simons, who served one year; then came Rev. Jas. Henderson, who spent two years. Again Rev. J. C. Anderson was returned to St. James, after an absence of eleven years. Rev. Anderson had lost none of his grit and determination and he forged onward with the thought of a new St. James uppermost in his mind. Laying his plan before his congregation and with their assistance a building fund of $6,000 was created for the new St. James church, which is now being erected at Dale and West Central avenue. Rev. Anderson was also called to Pittsburg, Pa., after serving two years. Rev. H. L. Jones was called from St. Paul's Church at Nashville, Tenn., and during his four year term the building site was purchased and the ground was excavated and the foundation laid of the new church. Insufficient funds impeded W. H. MRS. ADDIE BELLEESEN One of the Founders of St. James the progress and nothing was done on the building for some time. New Spirit Prevails With the coming of Rev. Griffin, the church has taken on a different aspect, he is a Gospel Preacher and business man. Shortly after his arrival two splendid armies, the 8th Illinois Regiment and the 15th New York under the guidance of Colonel George Brooks and Colonel Charles Miller rallied their forces and raised over $1,073 at the end of a great financial drive in November. The cornerstone was laid by Mr. Huron Shelton, a Master Mason, Sunday, Nov. 30, with impressive ceremonies. Rev. Griffin is responsible for the rapid progress the new church is making; building operations have been resumed and as he says it is really an inspiration to walk by there and see how fast those walls are going up in spite of the severe cold weather. The pastor and trustees hope that the coming spring will see the work nearly completed. Only two more years and St. James will complete fifty years of service to the Master. What a glorious occasion it will be if the Golden Jubilee can take place in this splendid edifice dedicated to the service of God. Rev. W. H. Griffin, the present pastor of St. James Church, assumed the pastorate Sunday, September 28, 1924, coming direct from St. Paul's Church. Des Moines, Iowa. His ministerial career began at Hyde Park, Ill., an exclusive district, where after several unsuccessful attempts were made to bomb people's property he was instrumental in building the first church constructed by our group in the city in twenty-two years. He made an excellent record during his stay of nine years, being forced to resign on account of ill health. The church at Des Moines, Iowa, being in a bad way, with twenty-three creditors and a $32,000 debt, and having talked with a pastor who had gone to Des Moines and recovered his health, he was persuaded to go to that charge instead of California where the physician had ordered Reduces Debt Remaining in Des Moines four years, Rev. Griffin reduced the debt of $32,000 to $12,000, and from twenty creditors to one. He has a wife and three children. Mrs. Griffin, who was Miss Mary A. Lewis before marriage, is an accomplished musician, and was at one time organist at Bethel Church, Chicago, Ill. In a little over three months Rev. Griffin has created a profound impression as a preacher of the Gospel pastor and business man. He has manifested a genuine interest in the vital issues which concerns the welfare of his congregation. He is a forceful speaker, possesses a splendid delivery and has thoroughly demonstrated his ability to expound the doctrines and teachings of the Saviour. All organizations and auxiliaries of the church are cooperating with him for newer and greater St. James.
