THE ST. PAUL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty-sixth and Seward Streets Russell Taylor, Pastor Let us continue to push the work for the Master. Autumn, with cool breezes is here, and we should no longer allow anything to hinder our faithfulness to Him. Sunday morning the pastor will expound the 73d Psalm which treats of the puzzling problem of the prosperity of those who fear not God in contrast with the seeming hardships of those who serve God. Come and hear the inspired writer's solution of that perplexing question. At 8 p. m. the topic will be "The Law of the Spirit." In this discussion the pastor will show the error of those who would have us believe that salvation depends upon keeping the law of Moses. The special program by the Christian Endeavor Society Sunday evening was very well rendered. The topic next Sunday, 7:15 p. m., will be "Getting An Education," Prov. Chapters 9 to 11, inclusive. At the morning services there will be special music, a duet by the Rev. and Mrs. Taylor, "It Pays to Serve Jesus." ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH 5233 So. 25th St. Market 3475 O. J.

YOUTHFUL ORATOR PLEASES AUDIENCE WITH ELOQUENCE Charless Satchell Morris Delivers Notable Historical Speech at Emancipation Day Celebration. NEW EMANCIPATION THEME Charles Satchell Morris as the orator of the day delighted an appreciative audience at Krug park Monday afternoon at the Emancipation Day celebration given by St. John's A. M. E. church. As a speaker Mr. Morris, who is only twenty-two years old, ably sustained his reputation which had preceded him as a fluent and eloquent speaker. Choosing as his theme "The New Emancipation" he rapidly traced the record of the Negro's contribution to American history in the pre-emancipation period; sketched with dramatic skill the events leading up to that historic event, the sixtieth anniversary of which the celebrants were observing; and graphically outlined racial achievement and advancement since the issuing by Lincoln of the proclamation which meant physical emancipation. "It is in the light of these achievements that I venture to declare," said the speaker, "the need of a 'New Emancipation' which will grant to the black people of America the full enjoyment of their constitutional rights wherever the Star and Stripes, which we have always defended, floats. Not special privileges or favors but equal justice as American citizens. Less than this we cannot be satisfied with and remain in any sense worthy of our heritage. By our sobriety, patience, industry and good behavior, we must continually appeal to the conscience of the American people until these fruits of democracy are granted us. Public sentiment is the strongest force in all the world, this we must help form and to this we must appeal." In closing the speaker stressed and amplified as fundamental principles the potency of thought, self knowledge and mutual understanding. Thinking oneself inferior will palsy ambition and aspiration and lower one's manhood. One therefore should think highly and act accordingly. Mr. Mitchell was welcomed by Mayor Dahlman and introduced by Dr. Wesley Jones, master of ceremonies. Seated on the platform were the Rev. Messrs. W. C. Williams, W. F. Botts, E. G. McDonald and W. S. Metcalfe; Mayor James C. Dahlman and City Commissioner Harry B. Zimman, Dr. J. Wesley Jones, A. L. Richmond and J. H. Garrett. Desdunes band furnished several musical numbers. The speaking closed the afternoon exercises of a program which began with a parade through the principal streets of the city of attractively and decorated floats and automobiles, depicting ante-bellum and post-bellum scenes illustrative of racial progress. A handsome silver loving cup donated by Mr. A. L. Richmond, grand supervisor of the Royal Circle, as first prize for the most beautifully decorated float was awarded to a Mr. Buford, whose auto was trimmed as a butterfly. Four mounted police officers, C. C. Dudley, George H. Thomas, Dudley Wright and P. H. Jenkina preceded the parade which was led by Desdunes band. The carnival and celebration was continued Tuesday with athletic contests for children and other features. Dancing in the pavilion was the diversion for Monday and Tuesday night.

NEWSPAPER MAN FOR YEARS His Vigorous and Courages Editorial Policy Made "The Appeal" an Influential Moulder of Public Opinion. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 15.—John Quincy Adams, veteran editor and publisher of The Appeal for thirty-seven years, died at the City hospital Sunday evening, September 3rd, as the result of injuries received in an automobile accident. Editor Adams was returning home from a gospel meeting which he had attended in the afternoon at the Alliance Gospel tabernacle and was waiting for the sreet car at Fry and University streets when he was struck by an automobile owned by Rev. J. W. Harris, pastor of Memorial Baptist church, and driven by Otis Woodard. Having been rendered unconscious and seriously injured, he was rushed to the hospital where it was learned that he had received a fractured skull, his right arm broken in two places and other bodily injuries. He died at 12 o'clock Sunday evening without regaining consciousness. Mr. Adams was born in Louisville, Ky., May 4, 1848, the son of Rev. Henry Adams and Margaret Adams (nee Corbin). His father was the founder of Fifth Street Baptist church, Louisville, and was its pastor for thirty-three years. Mr. Adams received his schooling in Fond du Lac, Wis., Yellow Springs, O., and completed his education at Oberlin college in Oberlin, O., of which he was a graduate. He came to St. Paul August 6th, 1886, and began work on "The Western Appeal" which was being published by Messrs. T. H. Lyles and F. D. Parker, now deceased. In January, 1887, he became manager of "The Western Appeal", soon after acquired complete control of the business changing the name to "The Appeal". Since then Mr. Adams' paper has flourished. His willingness to champion the cause of the race made him a recognized factor in the welfare of the community. He was widely known in journalistic circles throughout the country, having the honor to be the first president of the Afro-American Newspaper Association. Although neither the largest nor the most widely circulated newspaper, on account of the strength and vigor of the editors, The Appeal is acknowledged by the press to be one of the most powerful organs in defense of right and justice in the United States. Mr. Adams was absolutely fearless in his denunciation of those he believed to be in the wrong or whose policies were inimical to the good of all Americans. Mr. Adams was an honorary member of the Sterling club, a member of the Lincoln club, and a charter member of Gopher lodge No. 105, I. B. P. O. E. W., under whose auspices his funeral was held at Pilgrim Baptist church last Friday afternoon. In 1892 he married Ella B. Smith of St. Paul and four children were born to them. His wife, two daughters and son survive him. Miss Frankie B. Watkins, who has faithfully served as secretary of the North End Y. W. C. A. since its organization nearly three years ago, has resigned and expects to leave the city the first weeek in October to make her home in Chicago with her uncle, Mr. Frank King. Miss Watkins tendered her resignation August 15th, which the board has been most reluctant to accept. A new secretary will be supplied by the central office in New York. During her residence here Miss Watkins has been a strong factor in social uplift and many keenly regret her going. with Dan Coleman and his "American Girls" at the popular Gayetty twice daily all next week, starting Sunday matinee. with Dan Coleman and his "American Girls" at the popular Gayetty twice daily all next week, starting Sunday matinee.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MICRO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE GENERAL CONVENTION EPISCOPAL CHURCH CHOOSING A COLLEGE It is always a question with students THE Forty-seventh Triennial Convention of the Episcopal Church is now n session at Portland, Oregon. The eyes of the country are upon it because it represents one of the most influential religious communions in the United States. Its position on religious, moral and social questions has great weight not only within but without its membership. It unites in its policy a stabilizing conservatism and a sane progressiveness. Its liberal policy of holding all within its membership, who hold to fundamental doctrines, but may widely differ upon matters of pious opinion which are not de fide, commands admiration from the thoughtful, while it puzzles many who test orthodoxy by minute rules rather than by principles. Emphasizing the teaching of the Ten Commandments, without addition to subtraction; holding tenaciously to its belief in a validly conferred, guarded an transmitted ministry through the episcopate of Apostolic succession; maintaining that ivine grace, needful for all who would grow in righteous living and holiness of character, is conveyed through Sacramentes of Christ's ordaining and appointment; standing firmly for religious education and the admission of children to the covenanted privileges of its faith; believing in the evangelization of the world, and enshrining its faith in a dignified, ornate and appealing order of worship contained in its book of Common Prayer, the Episcopal Church has gone quietly on its way exerting an influence for good far exceeding its numerical strength. This is no doubt why the triennial meetings of General Convention, its chief law-making and governing body, attracts such wide attention. The General Convention consists of two houses, corresponding to those of Congress. The include the House of The House of Bishops now numbers 139. It is interesting to record that three Negroes are in the House of Bishops. They are the Rt. Rev. E. Thomas Demby, of Arkansas and the Southwest Province; the Rt. Rev. Henry Beard Delaney of North Carolina; and the Rt. Rev. Theophilus Monolim Gardiner of Liberia. The House of Deputies is composed of clerical and lay deptes from all the dioceses and missionary districts. Each diocese is represented by four clerical and four lay delegates, elected by their respective diocesan conventions; while each missionary district is represented by one of each order chosen in the same manner. Therefore, it is a thoroughly representative body, in which every member of the Church is interested. As there are sixty-nine dioceses and thirty-three missionary districts, the House of Deputies has a membership of 620. Many important matters are occupying the attention of General Convention among which are the revision of the Prayer Book and Lectionary, certain canonical and constitutional amendments, but that which will loom largest in the summing up are practical questions bearing upon making the Episcopal Church function more efficiently and vitally in helping make America and the world more essentially Christian and in helping to heal the wounds of Christendom and to answer the high priestly prayer of its Divine Founder: "That they all may be as one; as Thou, Father, art in Me and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me," and that all mankind may live in love and peace together as children of that common Father MICHIGAN, MY MICHIGAN SENATOR Townsend, who has been outspoken in his advocacy of the Dyer Bill and was enthusiastically supported by our people for his stand, has received a handsome majority in the primaries for renomination for the senate. Congressman Kelly, the only Michigan republican who voted against it, has been snowed under. CHOOSING A COLLEGE IT is always a question with students, who contemplate taking a college course to which of the many excellent educational institutions they will go. There is always an attractiveness in going away from home. It is the old delusion of sweetness of the honey or maple sugar of somewhere else. The people of Wisconsin, for example, look with longing eye upon the maple sugar of Maine, while the people of Maine long for the maple sugar of Wisconsin. And so it is with schools, colleges and universities. Bostonians seek Columbia College, while New Yorkers attend Harvard. Nebraskans go to Iowa State University and Iowa comes to Nebraska State University. There is an attractiveness, too, in attending colleges and universities where the enrollment is large. But after all, we are of the opinion that the best educational work is done in the smaller colleges where there can be closer personal touch and supervision by the faculty than is possible where the student body is large. And while there is much to be said about contact and the larger outlook, it is up to the student himself, as to how much or how little he will get out of his college or university course. With excellent colleges and universities close at hand, it is wholly unnecessary for the earnest student, whose means are limited, to add the heavy expenses of a distant railroad journey for the same advantages which he can secure, as a rule, much nearer home. IT is a rather remarkable coincidence that two great religious leaders in the same denomination should be called to their reward within a few days of each other. The death of the Rev. Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Arkansas, followed closely upon that of Dr. R. H. Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., whose death we chronicled last week. Both were recognized as great leaders in the Baptist denomination where each wielded a tremendous influence in the two respective national bodies into which, unfortunately, Negro Baptists a few years ago divided, a division which it is hoped by all well-wishers for unity among brethren of a common aim, name and purpose, will soon be healed. Each wrought manfully and well, according to his light and leading, for the evangelization, education and advancement of our people.

Daily matinees, of special appeal to the ladies, will be featured throughout the ensuing week. To devotees of musical offerings, lavish in equipment, the name of Dave Marion, in itself, will bring assurance of entertainment out of the ordinary. Marion's reputation as a sumptuous producer has been maintained through many seasons of successful achievement, each Marion-made production developing improvements over its predecessor. Dan Coleman's popularity as an Irish comedian of inventive instincts has likewise been enhanced season after season through his sincere efforts to increase his artistic attainments.

As a star in Irish plays and melodrama his vogue dates back to "One of the Bravest," a piece in which he appeared for many seasons to the glorification of the uniformed fireman. Dan Coleman and McCarthy will do team-work in developing the comedy scenes Coleman's supporting company is declared to have been chosen with individual fitness for fast-moving comedy developments as the prime essential to their engagement. Arthur Dunn, a diminutive comedian, has for many seasons been recognized as an unfailing source of merriment.

Among the other principals are Inez De Verdier, prima donna; Alma Bauer. a gifted singer, and Charles Raymond, leading man. The personnel includes, as essential to musical entertainments, a chorus that is declared to be a model aggregation of good looking dancers and singers, twenty in all, trained. Dave Marion with his years of experience as chorus drill-master. In the matter of costuming for the various musical numbers, it is declared that Marion has surpassed his previous achievements in lavish results.
