J., Serves in Many Good Movements For Racial and Denominational Advancement—Graduate of the Old Richmond (Va.) Institute. By GEORGE F. KING. Camden, N. J.—For several years the church life among our people in this city has become very effective. The economic life of the people has also been made much better. That the church is stimulating the young people to strive for the things that will make them useful citizens, especially in this section, is more pronounced than ever before. Despite the request of the better element of both races in Morristown, N. J., after vitally stamping his impress for good upon the populace of that place by many years of exceptional service and erecting a handsome church, the Rev. George E. Morris, D. D., Ph. D., came to Camden a few years ago to take charge of the First Baptist church. This bundle of energy got into the movements to better conditions in Camden, and today he has so rehabilitated the affairs of his new church that it is in the front rank of churches in New Jersey. Not only is Dr. Morris foremost in the ministerial ranks locally, but he is the leader of the Baptist forces of New Jersey. Since 1902 he has been president of the Baptist state convention, and for M. B. S. ten years he has served as vice president of the national Baptist convention from this state. Dr. Morris was born in Richmond, Va. During his early years he had to assist in supporting his widowed mother. After attending night school for two years and becoming converted and desiring to prepare himself for efficient work for humanity in general he entered the Richmond Institute and Theological seminary (now the Virginia Union university) and continued at this well known institution until his graduation for the Christian ministry. He had the reputation of being one of the best Hebrew and Greek students attending the university and won many honors. He was licensed to preach in 1888 and afterward accepted a call from the Calvary Baptist church, Morristown, N. J. His success in Morristown gave him great influence among the people. It is conceded that he is among the ablest puliteers and pastors of his denomination. Some years ago he wrote a sermon for the National Baptist Magazine on the subject "God Man." which was declared by the theologians to be one of the most scholarly sermons produced by any minister of the denomination known at the time. Through the indefatigable efforts of this modest and genial leader, who has every qualification of a leader by sticking to his followers, New Jersey has taken first place, according to numbers, in the denomination with which he is so eminently connected. His annual addresses before his state convention are pronounced potent factors in shaping the activities of the Baptist churches of the state and from a literary viewpoint have been termed "gems" and highly instructive. That he is highly esteemed by both races is fully attested by his connection with varied movements among both races. He has served as a member of the board of the New Jersey state Baptist convention, and the leaders of this body often seek his advice regarding efforts for the furtherance of home missions. Dr. Morris is also a strong influence in the great work of the New England Baptist convention. The ambitious young Afro-American who is striving along the right lines to become a wholesome influence in every phase of righteous activities finds a stanch supporter in Dr. Morris and his most amiable and cultured wife. Mrs. Morris is a native of Richmond, Va., and is the daughter of Rev. George E. Johnson. Industrial and business pursuits are among the vocations which Dr. and Mrs. Morris are strongly advocating for our young people. Does All That Others Advertise to Do and More.

Harbert, former Presiding Elder, will no doubt make good in San Francisco, although a very large debt is hanging over the church. We believe that Rev. Harbert is equal to the task, being connected with so many fraternal societies, which makes him a very popular pastor. However, we feel that the system of selecting pastors in the Methodist denomination is growing too lax. We think that after four years in any one place or position a change should be made, and this for the efficiency of the service. WHAT THE SUNSHINE WOULD LIKE TO SEE.

The Executive Committee of the northern California branch of the N. A. A. C. P., met at the residence of Mrs. Tobe Williams on Chestnut street to pay farewell respects to Mr. Christopher G. Ruess, former president of the Branch, who will leave Oakland for the interior of the State, to engage in work in the hoyson most potent factor in the life of the organization in trying to create a healthy sentiment in favor of fair play for the Colored American. When the great fight was on following the bill introduced in the House by Representative Answell of Louisiana, providing for the segregation of white and black governmental clerks under the Civil Service, it was Mr. Ruess whose personal direction in the matter caused the recognition of the National Branch. Mr. Ruess notified members of the Executive Committee to meet at his residence and thereupon advised a method of procedure which caused the National body to take cognizance of. He has approached business and professional men of Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley on behalf of this great humanitarian movement and upon the files of this organization are letters in reply, not alone to our representatives, to our friends of the American friends of his such as John E. Holmes and John Millholland of New York. These are items of concern to us that were never brought before the Association, showing that he was interested in a cause which needed assistance with no desire for comment. He has met the Executive Board from time to time, offering suggestions in many issues which concerned the Colored people to which we were either not alive or sorrowfully indifferent. The letters sent by the Brane candidate challenge the Legislature asking them for an expression as to their attitude in favor of justice and fair play for the Colored American in the State of California, were at the suggestion of Mr. Ruess. The Executive Committee of the Board felt that it would be expressing the sentiment of the entire Colored populace of Northern California in showing substantially our appreciation of the man who in his active life experienced the thrills of Walt Disney. "I would not sit in the scorner's seat nor hurl the cynics ban— But I'd live in my house by the side of the road And be a friend to man." And be a friend to man. So this was the evening selected to present to Mr. Russell a love loving cup, inscribed Pressed to Christopher Russel by the Northern California Braney to the N. A. A. C. P." The braney, Mr. W. A. Butler, in his introductory address wisely brought out the thought that Life is short of blossoming, and he realized that we must garner while we can and this great movement which is but the clamor for human liberty and human rights had appealed to him as no other had. The members of the Committee who responded with expressions of appreciation were Rev. David R. Wallace, Mr. T. M. Jackson, S. F.; Miss Charlotte Anita Whitney, Miss Suplee and mother, of Berkeley; Miss Eva Jones, Mrs. Chas. Tighman, Mrs. E. Brown, Mrs. L. Gilbert, Mrs. Tobe Williams, Attorney Fowler, Mr. Leonard Richardson, Mrs. H. E. DeHart. After an instrumental selection the President, with appropriate remarks, presented to Mr. Ruess the loving cup. Mr. Ruess was moved by this touching tribute of esteem and his response was worth the hour of attention. Mrs. A. Craig, Mrs. Mabel Burns, Mrs. Breedan, Messre, Wagner and Calhoun, assisted the hostess in making this the event of the season. The citizens and bountiful collation in keeping with the spirit of hospitality for which the Williams home is noted MRS. DEHART, President FORESTERS' PICNIC The puzzle that the members of Court Bournemouth and Court Knaresborough have to solve is how Brother Nathan Hardy can beat Bro. Walter Butler in a 150 yard race to 100 yards. Nathan Hardy says he will beat him in the hundred and then go him two hundred to one afterwards, but Butler says he yards will do, so he goes hand and see the fat man, get the bacon. 7 P. M. on the 24th, at Shellmound Park is the time and place the big match race comes off for the big purse.

AFRO-AMERICAN COUNCIL The Afro-American Council of Alameda County held one of the most enthusiastic and important meetings at their Headquarters, Judge Quinn's Court Room, corner 8th and Broadway, last Monday evening, that they have held for months. A large number of strangers were present from all parts of the Eastern states, who are visiting California at this time, who said they were glad to be present. Speeches were made by Mr. Solomon Jenkins of Chicago, Daniel Reese of New York, and Edward Young of Newark, New Jersey, and Elwood Banks of Tennessee. The Council is indeed very influential in the City of Oakland and in the entire state of California, so the strangers say State Vice-President, J. B. Wilson, presided, and J. F.

BRUCE "GRIT." Yonkers, N. Y.—Many years ago I stood with uncovered and bowed head on the spot in Southampton county, Va., where glorious old Nat Turner was executed for daring to strike a blow for liberty for himself and for his race. I shall never forget the sensation of that moment as long as I live. Nat Turner was Virginia's greatest Negro and was one of the three Negroes in America—Vesey and Gabriel being the two others—who, almost single handed and alone, shook the slave oligarchy of the south from its center to its circumference. If we had now a few Negroes with the courage and manhood of those men and fewer Judases to betray them, as each of these were, the great battle for manhood rights which we are now waging against the forces of evil and error would soon be won. Pauline Carrington Bowie, in her book "Their Shadows Before," deals with the Turner insurrection in Southampton county in a most engaging and interesting manner. Turner is shown to have been a man of wonderful genius for organization and possessed a magnetic influence over his followers. He was far above the average of his race, for he could read and write and understood something of chemistry. He was not the kind of man to be a slave, for men of his mental grasp could not long endure the galling chains of slavery. Turner seemed to be able to see the end from the beginning. And whenever he spoke of the wrongs of his race men shuddered while professing to scout at his "fanatical utterances." A Mr. Mortimer, a northern man, who visited Nat Turner in jail on the morning of the day of his execution, sald to him, "Don't you see now that you were wrong, that what you thought was your mission was a failure?" Quick as a flash Turner answered: "Was Jesus' effort a failure? They killed him too." "The work of Christ lived on and was accomplished after him," said Mr. Mortimer. Rising to his full height, Turner replied: "And mine is just begun. I say to you what was begun in blood shall be accomplished by blood." The closing scene in the life of this remarkable Negro is thus described by an eyewitness: "We were directly opposite the scaffold, which hitherto had been out of our range of vision. Fascinated with the horror of this sight, I gazed fixedly at the instrument of death as motionless as a statue. There was a stir at its base, and in an instant Nat Turner, followed by Mr. Lawson, quickly mounted the few steps to the platform and with a commanding gesture faced the multitude. 'Masters, may I speak?' "Gag him," called a brutal voice from the crowd. But the sheriff called for silence. The shouts and jeers died into a hush, and the loud, clear voice continued: 'What is done this day will not alter what will come to pass. That which I was sent to do I have done, but the end is not yet. Three times ten years shall come to pass before deliverance shall be. In a vision of the future the Lord has shown me, Nathaniel his prophet, a freed nation and a river of blood. White men, there shall arise one of your race in a far land, and blood shall be shed, and the bonds shall be broken. I have done my work. What the Lord begins he shall surely finish. I saw battles, fire, blood, freedom.' Turner's prophecy that "three times ten years shall come to pass before deliverance shall be" was fulfilled almost to the letter. He was executed in 1831 or 1833, and in 1863 deliverance did come to his race. So that his vision of a freed nation and a river of blood, of battles, fire and freedom is now a part of the contemporaneous history of America. His prophetic words, "White men, there shall arise one of your race in a far land and blood shall be shed and the bonds shall be broken," show him to have been wiser and keener of vision than the rabble that cried "Gag him!" For one of their race did arise in a far land, who in the words of the Hebrew prophet, "Loosed the bond of the captive and let the oppressed go free" after a river of blood had been shed on the battlefields of the nation, whose own life went out in blood at the hands of a cowardly assassin, and the deep damnation of his taking off the world in tears. Nat Turner was no fanatic; he was a seer, and, like old John Brown of Osawattomie, the eyes of his understanding were full orbed. He suffered martyrdom for the cause of freedom and died as only martyrs can die in the cause of liberty and righteousness. The time will come when the names of John Brown and Nat Turner will be among the most illustrious in American history. Posterity will accord them a place in the temple of fame--among the immortals who were not born to die. President, J. B. Bass, Los Angeles; Vice-President, Mrs. A. O.

Mr. Springer, who is now located in the Bacon Block, Oakland, in the real estate business, is a man that comes well recommended and one that is not only a credit to his race but to the whole human race as well. His congenial ways and business qualities will no doubt have a tendency to make the business in which he is engaged a success. He was born in New York and came West in the interest of a concession at the Exposition, but on account of differences that existed he changed his plans and entered the real estate business. Mr. Springer has also succeeded in getting the agency for the northern part of the state of Traveler Insurance at Hartford, Cox. He has absolute full charge of the railroad insurance of this company. Here is an honor conferred upon one of our race that has never been bestowed before on anyone. We have found him just as he is recommended, coronial and always ready when you enter his office, 77 B.con Block, to assist those that need assistance. He is reliable and honest in his business transactions, which is everything to a man's business. The young men who are running the Maroin Hall dancing school on Thursday evenings will make it a point to dispense with the school whenever it interferes with a date taken by any fraternal or charitable organization. They are also in a position to rent Marion Hall at a reduced price on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and Friday evenings, and solicit the patronage of the public. It is requested that the general public of the bay cities will rally towards attending the entertainment at Hamilton's Auditorium on August 26, as Rev. Peck is doing everything that is in his power to make this the greatest affair that has ever been witnessed in Oakland. CHINESE MERB SPECIALISTS.

Boston—the National Negro Business league, which meets here on Wednesday, Aug. 18, says in its notes on racial progress: The Brown Savings bank of Norfolk, Va., is in a very healthy condition. E.C. Brown is president and William M. Rich cashier. The business was started six years ago, with total assets of $10,434. It has increased to $67,827.00. It is still increasing at the rate of from $20,000 to $30,000 annually. The Christmas Saving club feature is very popular. In 1914 the bank paid to the depositors in this club the sum of $23,000. At the rate the members of the club are now making weekly deposits the outlook is favorable for the return of $100,000 the forthcoming Christmas week to the fortunate depositors. The league also notes that our people in Virginia pay taxes on real and personal property to the amount of $34,743,656. They pay taxes on personal property and real estate in the city of Richmond to the amount of $3,180,602. Work of Society For Ethical Culture.

Paris.-The chamber of deputies in this city has three colored deputies representing the colonies from which they are sent by the suffrage of their fellow citizens. A dispatch from Paris recently says that the race and color question that was raised in the French chamber of deputies by the bill of the Negro deputy. M. Diagne, representing Senegal, providing for the extension of general compulsory military service in France to colonial municipalities whose inhabitants enjoy French citizenship, was presented in numerous new lights and complications at the session of the chamber. The question of how to apportion a pension in cases of polyagam *Senegalese* leaving several widows proved a poser for the deputies. The minister of war and the military committee of the chamber approved the general provisions of the Diagne bill, which provide for the incorporation with the regular French forces of the Senegalese subject to compulsory service. The action of the committee was immediately attacked by Deputy Labrone, who pictured the difficulties arising from the presence in the French army of soldiers unable to speak French and of different religion and social customs. Deputy Labrone also raised the question of confusion in the payment of pensions to the widows of polygamous Senegalese. He proposed an amendment providing for the incorporation of such troops in native regiments entitled to pensions and the other rights of French citizens. The speaker was frequently interrupted. The protests from Perhaps one of the first offers that came to her was from the school of her own home city, Selma, Ala., where she has spent all of her life. Following close on the heels of this was an MISS E. LEOLA HUDSON. offer from Roger Williams university at Nashville, Tennessee, and then from Spellman seminary, Atlanta, Ga., of which school she is an alumna. Another came from the state school at Tallahassee, Fla. Other institutions have also offered the accomplished young Miss Hudson a position, but it was not known up to the time of her leaving this city recently just which of the offers she would accept. While in Brooklyn she spent the entire time at the home of Rev. and Mrs. S. W. Annis on Chancery street and was an active worker in the religious affairs of the Holy Trinity church. The career of Miss Hudson as a scholar began at an early age when she finished with honors from the Clark high school at Selma, then the normal course at Selma university, where she won two medals. She then entered Spellman seminary and finished the teachers' course, winning another medal that had not been captured for a number of years. Miss Hudson then entered the college department of Morehouse college and headed the class, finishing with honors and capturing the highest prize in the gift of the college. It was then that she came to Pratt . this city, from which institution she graduated, sustaining her former brilliant reputation as a studen. NOTED VISITOR AT SOCIETY FOR HISTORICAL RESEARCH Miss L.

Washington. Very few of the race have any conception of the great number of occupations in which you will find members of the race. There is hardly an occupation known to the United States that the race is not represented in, either as owners and operators or laborers. I have just compiled a brief summary of occupations showing the number of men and women of the race employed in them, and the number of men and women of the race who are owners, managers, clerical employees or laborers in these occupations. For instance, in agriculture there are 2,887,732 Negroes employed as follows: Cranberry growers; 3 dairy farmers; 208 farmers; 877,705 florists; 116 fruit growers; 306; truck gardeners; 4,936; nurserymen; 25; turpent ne farmers; 113 vine growers. 1. Employed as foremen or managers in agricultural occupation, either for white or Negro owners, the race is well represented. As crberry bog foremen there is but one Negro employed, but as dairy foreman or managers there are 15: farm and plantation foremen, 1,546; truck garden foreman or managers, 68; greenhouse foremen, 4 nursery managers, 7; orchard managers, 41; turpentine foreman and man OFFICERS OF THE DISTRICT NO. 32, HOUSEHOLD OF RUTH, NO. 28, OF CALIFORNIA, FOR THE COMING YEAR.

Negro Doll Company that their rush season, which it usually has during the Christmas, is just now on. This is occasioned, declares the manager of the company, on account of the delay in the importation of material from which these dolls are made. The ship was caught and held as a prize of war and was only recently released, hence the material did not reach Nashville until Christmas day. But the people, says the manager, were to determination to have the size dolls shipped to the market. "We will wait to get the big dolls." While hundreds of small dolls were sent out, the manager declares that it was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolls ranging in sizes from seventeen to thirty-six inches. The orders are being rapidly sent out. Many of the churches have sent in orders that they might conduct their bazaars. Dolls will be shipped throughout the year, declares the manager of the Doll Company, as we are ready to fill orders as they come. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF the County of Alameda, State of California.

Dr. W. Sampson Brooks. The Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, D. D., minister of the St. Paul A. M. E. church, St. Louis, has returned to his home after a most interesting trip to New York and other large cities of the east. While in New York Dr. Brooks was kept very busy with matters pertaining to the International Order of Mystic Shriners, which held its annual session in New York the early part of August. He is a member of the order and shows great interest in its work. Dr. Brooks also attended to much important business connected with his denomination and his church. From New York he went to Washington, where he was also warmly received and kept busy. He is one of the most prominent of the many able young ministers of the African Methodist church. His rise and success in the ministry have been almost phenomenal. He is well educated, eloquent and gifted as a preacher, and if one is to judge from his past record it is safe to predict for him the highest honor in the gift of his denomination in the near future. He is a man of courage, fine common sense and energetic to a degree. Dr. Brooks is not only scholarly, but a trained writer. He has traveled extensively in the Holy Land and has put the results of his travel and study in writing. His new book, entitled "Footprints of a Black Man In the Holy Land," has recently come from the press. Dr. Brooks is not only interested in the immediate work of his church and denomination, but in all good movements for the good of the race. He is also much interested in the young people and believes in giving them a chance to be trained along both religious and secular lines. His friends throughout the country are watching his progress with keen interest. GREATER NEW YORK CHURCH UNION CONDEMNS LYNCHING Murder of Will Stanley Arouses Influential Religious Organization. New York.—Ministers of fifteen churches, members of the Baptist Church Union of Greater New York, at its regular meeting for August, adopted the following resolutions condemning mob rule in the south and with special reference to the recent lynching of Will Stanley at Temple, Tex. Whereas, We have observed from the columns of the New York daily papers another unlawful, inhuman and fendish crime committed by the white citizens composed of men, women and children in the public square of Temple, Tex., of the three Grimes children, the law, as prisoner, a colored man by the name of Will Stanley, charged with the murder of the three Grimes children, thereby defeating the ends of the court of justice in its mission and the unlawful way known, thereby robbing the prisoner of all the civic rights decreed to him under the constitution of its country; and Whereas, We believe that this and other similar, unlawful and inhuman acts of any people are steps backward in the development, unlawful and civilization in this age and country; and Therefore, Be it resolved, that we, as members of the Baptist Church Union of Greater New York, pastors of fifteen regiment, will endeavor to do, in general mass meeting assemble and unanimously agree to petition to the chief executive of the nation. Hon. Cordray Union, the president of the United States, whom he commended and impartial judgment we believe and in whose Christian principles we have faith, asking that he will use his intercession, and that he will less colored people who are at the mercy of just that class of people who unlawfully took from the officers Will Stanley, who was burned and shot to death in the Temple, Tex.
