PITTSBURGH COURIER. THE AN IDEAL SCHOOL FOR SELF HELP REDUCES COST OF EDUCATION Incorporated With University Powers the Afro-American Correspondence School Wisely Meets the Needs of the Masses—Founded by W. Bishop Johnson, L.L.D. BY N. BARNETT DODSON. Washington.—The Afro-American School of Correspondence was organized in Washington in September, 1900, at 818 Third street. N. W. It was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia as a university and began its career with a faculty consisting of some of the most experienced educators in the race. It was organized to reach the great unreached middle class, the man with a need, and a thirst for deeper drink from the "Pierian spring of knowledge." Its object is to supply that need. There is some special knowledge they need and are unable to supply because of limited means, the absence of educational facilities that meet their peculiar necessities or a backward disposition to expose their ignorance to others because of a lack of information on certain subjects, that the world expects them to know. There are hundreds of persons who could greatly increase their usefulness and materially add to their revenues by taking advantage of a correspondence course such as is provided by this excellent school. The course is a priceless boon to all classes of our people. To the ignorant it means knowledge, and knowledge is power; to the partially educated it means increase of information and added usefulness. "It is eyes to the blind and feet to the lame." The times call, for men and women who know. It is no longer what you are, alone, put what you know and what you can do. Hundreds of people who have some education are greatly overestimated, and it is only a matter of time when they will be found out. Every man knows on what point he is weak, and be owes it to himself to strengthen their places. It is unfortunate to be ignorant, but it is a crime against self and society to remain ignorant when the facilities for knowing are knocking at our doors. Thousands of persons are holding positions today that they are afraid will be taken from them tomorrow by the men who have superior RED, DR. W. BISHOP JOHNSON. knowledge. No man can afford to stand-still. The future holds for the Négro the largest and best possibilities. Doors are opening to him that have hitherto been closed. The man who is prepared to meet the demands of tomorrow as well as today is the individual to whom success is assured. He is invincible. The institution has a great advantage in being located in Washington. No other city possesses educational advantages and facilities equal to Washington. By authority of congress all the resources of the government are placed at our disposal educationally. The greatest body of scholars, scientists and educational specialists in the world live at the national capital. There is a great number of public school teachers, college professors and ex-professors who make teaching in all branches of instruction their life work and have been so engaged for years, many of whom are recognized authorities on the very subjects taught. All these facts give the correspondent student a great advantage. The faculty represents some of the best institutions in America—Harrard, Yale, Howard, Union and Northwestern universities, Bishop, Bates, Storer and Guadalupe colleges. The president of the corporation is the Hon. Thomas L. Jones, LL.B. Washington, a graduate of Union and Howard universities, one of the ablest lawyers in the country and one who enjoys the respect of the courts because of his high character and profiled knowledge of law. The first vice pres- ident is Rep. Holland Powell, D. D. Brooklyn, N. Y., a graduate of Wayland seminary and Union university, an-nible preacher and successful pastor, who is beloved everywhere because of his upright life and devotion to his race. The second vice president is Ilev. C. H. Payne, D. D., of West Virginia, graduate of Richmond Theological institute. American consul to St. Thomas, D. W. L. diplomat, lawyer, educator and preacher. Dr. Payne is the pride of West Virginia and has by his successful administration of governmental affairs honored his race as well as his government, which he has served since the McKinley administration. The secretary and treasurer is Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, D. D., LL. D., once professor of mathematics and political science at Wayland seminary for twelve years. He is the organizer of the national Baptist educational convention, author of "The Correspondent Student's Arithmetic Grammar and United States History." "The Sourcing of a Race." "Sparks From PRESIDENT THOMAR L. JONES. My Anvil" and "The Story of Negro Baptists." Dr. Johnson is one of the most eloquent orators among negroes and is thoroughly devoted to his race. He has been pastor of the Second Baptist church in Washington for twenty-eight years. He enjoys an international reputation as a great educator. Rev. Dr. A. W. Adams, D. D., is the field secretary, a graduate of Storer and Rates colleges. For years he has been New England's great pastor and preacher. Some years ago he was a professor in Storer college. Harper Ferry, W. V. and now returns to his old love, "the educational work of the Negro." The students number 200 and are found in twenty-four states. A correspondence school, teaching by mall, is a new thing to many of our people, and much of the work of the Afro-American School of Correspondence is preparatory and educative, so far as the advantage of such a course is concerned, but it is amazing how many have seized upon it as an invaluable opportunity and are being benefited. The students are found from Massachusetts to Florida. By the correspondence method teachers write things instead of saying them. Instead of listening to oral lectures the correspondence student studies at home, thereby forming habits of self reliance and research; loses no time from work, but utilizes his spare moments for self improvement; studies when convenient, for the school never closes; combines education and experience by putting into immediate use the knowledge gained by study; reduces the price of education to the minimum, for the cost is far below what is paid any institution of learning; secures private and confidential instruction, (this is impossible in the class room, for there the student is subject to comment and criticism from other students and in this way is frequently embarrassed); is in a class by himself, getting all the instruction and doing all the reciting, being able to review and correct without infringing upon the time of others. MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED DURING WEEK REV. WILLIAM PETER ROBINSON. Rev. William Peter Robinson, supermendent of the Pittsburg Branch No. 2. Christian and Missionary Alliance, died suddenly of apoplexy at his home, Alliance Chapel, 153s Wylie avenue. Wednesday evening, June 21, at 7:10, aged 56 years and 23 days. He was born at Farmville, Prince Edward county, Va., May 28, 1855, and was married at Donville, Va., July 11, 1875, to Sarah E. Schaffer. Ten children were born to this union, of which five, Samuel, Mrs. H. K. Kendall, William, Edna, and John, survive with the widowed mother. The funeral services will be conducted at the Alliance Chapel, tomorrow, (Saturday) afternoon at 2 o'clock by Evangelist E. M. Collette of Winston-Salem, N. C., and Rev. E. D. Whiteside, Superintendent of Pittsburg Branch No. 1, C. & M. A. with whom Rev. Robinson had long been associated in evangelistic and missionary work. Rev. Robinson was converted at the early age of 13 years, and was engaged in constant work for the Master's service until the very moment he was stricken down by the dread and sudden affliction. Soon after his marriage he moved with his family, first to Steeleman, Pa., and thence to Pittsburg some 28 years ago, when he joined the Wylie Avenue A. M. E. church under the pastorate of Rev. Wheeler. Here he filled various positions: Steward, trustee, class-leader and local preacher. Twenty-five years ago, through reading a little pamphlet entitled "A Guide to Holiness," by Phoebe Palmer, of New York, and presented to him by "Mary Murray," Murray, member of Wylie Avenue church, he saw and accepted the truth of the "second blessing" or entry, sanctification, and, later on, in the dining room of the Monongahela house, God marvelously baptized him with the Holy Spirit. A few years after this he was wounded, healed of organic heart trouble. Briggs' disease and inflammatory thematism, and to this power of God h, was always faithful and constant witness, both in pulpit and pew. Later, he began conducting weekly night meetings in his home on Congress street for the purpose of teaching and spreading the doctrine of holiness, and this work was finally organized as the C. & M. Brancon No. 2, and a number of years the services were held on Tuesday evenings at the home of Superintendent E. B. Nichols, on Thirty-first street, (Rev. Robinson then being president), and annual meetings or "Conventions." were held in the different colored churches throughout the city. During this time, services were also being conducted Sunday afternoons in the lecture room of the Wyle Avenue church. This privilege being no longer granted, the Fulton street church building was then secured, and later, purchased. Here, many, white and colored, were saved, sanctified and healed to the honour and glory of God, and many of these are now engaged in active ministry, evangelistic or missionary work. Six years ago, the present quarters, 1535 Wyle avenue, were secured and later enlarged, and it was here on the second Sunday of the sixteenth annual convention shortly after supper, while conversing with one of his fellow-workers, that the almost then fatal stroke came. Loving hands bore him tenderly to his room, and prayers began to ascend for his recovery, and he rallied to the seeming point of his former self, but who ruineth wind and water and doethill all things well knew best, and had sent the summons for his son to come home. Wednesday afternoon rame the last and fatal bloom, and while sorrowing relatives and sympathizing friends stood round his bedside, he laid aside his sickle and, shouting "Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Jesus is Victor!" Jesus; Jesus!" he passed over the line of time to be with his Lord forever. Born of slave parentage, with but little educational advantages, he pushed forward with indomitable will to the great objective point God had set before him when he spake pardon to his soul 42 years ago. In his endeavor, but walking in the light he revealed to him by the blessing Holy Spirit, and as a result, his ministry has extended from the air south to Canada, and from the east and throughout the middle-west. Alongside the Pacific slope, always bringing the testimony of the Fold Gospel: "Jesus Christ—Savior, Sanctifier, Healer and Coming King." Yesterday, Today and forever the same. From the little cottage prayer meetings, years ago, God hath caused to go forth like a mighty river gospel heralds in the local fields and in Africa, South America, India, China, Japan, and other points, and thousands of dollars have been raised for the grand purpose of spreading the tidings of sal- 0 vation and hastening the coming of our blessed King. "Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die it brings forth much fruit." WE LAY DOWN TO SLEEP. We lay us down to sleep. We lay us calmly down to sleep. When friendly night is come, and leave to God the rest: Why vax our souls with wearing care? Why shun the grave, for aching heard, so cool and low Have we sound life so passing fair. So grand to be, so sweet that we Should dread to go, should dread to go. Some other, hand the task can take. If so it seemeth best, the task by us beken: No work for which we need to wake, In joy or grief, for life so brief, Beneath the sun, beneath the sun. CAPITAL OF NATION CAPITAL OF NATION POLITICAL AND SOCIAL NEWS To President Taft belongs the credit of having given an Afro-American the highest Federal appointment ever bestowed upon one of the race. The nomination of William H. Lewis, of Boston, to be assistant attorney general of the United States, was sent to the Senate in April, but Southern Democratic Senators employed all sorts of tactics to prevent confirmation and were able to hold it up until Massachusetts Senators and other friends of Mr. Lewis got busy, secured the necessary votes and forced the matter to an issue. Mr. Lewis is not the only Afro-American who has run up against the color line when nominated for Federal office. There was a bitter fight made against Frederick Douglass when he was nominated for Marshal of the District of Columbia, C. H. J. Taylor, James M. Tröter and James C. Matthews, nominated for Recorder of Deeds, in recent years, encountered the color line in the Senate and in each case the nomination was held up for several William H. Lewis, the new Assistant Attorney General, was born in Berkeley, Va., November 28, 1865. He attended the Portsmouth, Va., public schools and the Petersburg, Va., high school. He is a graduate of both Amherst and Harvard colleges. At Amherst he was captain of the football team and at Harvard he was the most successful athlete that institution ever knew. Lewis was assistant district attorney at Boston for eight years. The Hampton Institute-Alumni association has made arrangements to attend the Hampton Conference and Reunion, July 19, 29, 21. F. D. Lee is president and E. B. Smith is secretary of the organization. Among the Northern Democrats who voted against the Bristow amendment to the Borah bill for the direct election of Senators, were Senator O'Gorman of New York, Senator Martine of New Jersey, Senator Pomerene of Ohio, Kern of Indiana, Chamberlin of Oregon, Chilton and Watson of West Virginia and Hitchcock of Nebraska. It the Borah resolution had been adopted without the Bristow amendment, it would have been possible for any state to disfranchise the Army and would have left the ideal government powerless to interfere. Senator Moses E. Clapp of Minnesota, who so valiantly defended the race in a public address in this city recently has received hundreds of letters of thanks from Arto-Americans all over the country. Mgs. Jennie Robinson Heuston of Kahnsa City, formerly of Washington, is in the city having been called to the house of her father, who is dangerously ill. At the meeting of the New England Baptist Missionary convention at Providence, R. L., it was decided that a large delegation of Arto-Americans, headed by a committee of fifteen spokesmen, should visit. President Taft and tell him of the wrongs which the race suffers in the South. The plan was introduced by Rev. L. G. P. Talinterro, D. E. editor of the Christian Philadelphia. In an address at the presentation of a flag by the Ball 'Flag association, to the Colored Social Settlement, Mrs. labela Worrell Ball said: If the United States Government were to pay 10 cents per day to the descendants of the slaves who tilled the soil in the South during the eighty-six years that slavery existed. In this country, it would be indicted to them more than $0,000,000. The presentation was made by Mrs. E. C. Palmer, Miss Annie Grange also defends an address and Major Charles Dourlass, presided. Douglas Speaking at the meeting of the Virginia Federation of Labor at Richmond, recently, J. P. Cindlinst of Newport News, said that from his personal investigation it was not the colored children in Virginia who were ignorant, but the white children who were employed in the factories of the state. "For every colored child that cannot read and write I can show ten white children who can not," he said. A HOUSEHOLD JEWEL "Is your new mald competent?" "Very.

A woman's crowning glory is her puffs, braids, swirches, pompadous, chignons, Payche knots, cluster, dots, rolls, rats and Bille Burks curly—Woman's Home Companion. Mrs. Martha Harmon Is Honored by Board of Education of New York City. AGED PUPIL HAS NOT MISSED A NIGHT AT SCHOOL DURING THE PAST FOUR YEARS. New York City.—(Special.)—Up in Harlem the colored residents boast of celebrities galore, but a new one has been added to the list in the person of Mrs. Martha Harmon, seventy years old, who is also the pride of the New York board of education, and the principal and teachers of public night school No. 157. Despite her advanced years, Mrs. Harmon is now enjoying her school days, and the remarkable record she has made within the past four years has brought her fame. A few evenings ago she was presented with two gold medals which she proudly wears on "state occasions." One of the medals was given for attendance and the other for efficiency in her studies Mrs. Harmon is considered an ideal pupil by her teachers. At public night school No. 167, the principal and teachers often refer to their seventy-year-old pupil and her record. For four years she has been attending night school, taking an elementary course. During the four years Mrs. Harmon has never missed an evening and has been late but once. She would not have been tardy the one time had it not been for company who called on her one evening last season; and in the midst of an interesting conversation the aged pupil failed to pay attention to the clock, walking into her class room a few minutes after the teacher had called the roll. Mrs. Harmon resides at 198 West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, and public night school No. 157 is located at One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street and Manhattan avenue, yet this woman, seventy years old, has walked to school every evening during the four years, braving the snow, sleet, rain and wind. Not once has she ridden to the school house. The night school term commences in October and ends in April. During the winter months school is held every week day except Friday and Saturday. In order to acquire education, Mrs. Harmon has donned her heavy coat and mittens for four years and wended her way on foot to school, defying the wintry blasts and treacherous sidewalks. Mrs. Harmon was born in Kentucky seventy years ago, and while young moved to Dayton, Ohio, where she spent most of her life. She resisted for years just around the corner from Paul Lawrence Dunbar, and remembers when he was quite a lad. Some years ago she moved to New York. She is a widow and has a daughter and a grandson. Mrs. Harmon does not seem to think that she has done anything unusual for a woman of her age, and is not disposed to speak of her enviable record. She says the medals speak for themselves. REVOLT AGAINST SIMON PLANNED IN JAMAICA Kingston, Jamaica—According to papers another revolution, directed at the administration of President Simon of Haiti, is brewing here, where Haitain exiles long resided in this city, have joined forces with their expatriated countrymen from Porto Rico and St. Thomas. The published reports state that the revolt will be greater in scope and more relentless than any that has occurred in the republic. If it succeeds Gen. Cincinnatus Leconte, who took part in the recent rebellion, will be proclaimed president, and Gen. Anter Firmin, who has not been allowed to return to Haiti since he left his post as minister at London without authority, will be made minister of war. Several Cubans here are said to be ready to join the rebel ranks. President Simon is reported to be aware of the conspiracy and to have taken steps to cope with the new situation. INTERESTING INVESTIGATION COLLEGE PROFESSOR WANTS TO KNOW WHERE COLORED GIRL CAN BE TREATED FOR TUBERCULOSIS. West Point, Miss (Special)—President Johnson of Mary J. Holmes college, has started an interesting investigation and one which may lead to important developments. He has requested the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis to inform him as to a sanitarium where a colored girl can be treated. In view of the widespread interest among the whites in reaching the increase of tuberculosis this question as to institutions for the treatment of those who ought to get well is especially significant. Remarkable Career of the Rev. Dr. P. J. Wallace, Who Has Successfully Pastored Many Churches—Effects of His Sermon on the Sins of Norfolk. His Failure Is Bright. Norfolk, Va.—The recent celebration of the fifth anniversary of the Rev. Dr. P. J. Wallace's pasture of the Calvary Baptist church, in Norfolk, which was held for two weeks, was marked by great enthusiasm and zeal by the members of the church, visiting clergymen and friends throughout the city. Among the participants were some of the ablest divines in the state, who preached logical sermons and eloquently eulogized the life of Mr. Wallace, who has wrought such great work in this and other communities. Special REV. DR. P. J. WALLACE features of the services were the anniversary sermon, which was preached by the Rev. E. Payne, D. D., of Richmond, Va., and music by the several choirs that combined to make that important part of the services a complete success. All of his co-pastors in the city united in doing honor to the occasion, and each one was a participant in the services. The most notable event of the occasion was the outpouring of the spirit and the conversion of many souls to Christ. The Rev. Mr. Wallace was ordained to the gospel ministry Dec. 18, 1865, and first pastored the Shiloh Baptist church of Yorktown, Va., where he built a beautiful gothic frame church at a cost of $3,000, and second, the First Shiloh Baptist church of Hanover county, Va., and built a nice frame church, which is a pride to the people, leaving it clear of debt. He also pastored the Mount Olivet Baptist church in King William county, Va. Realizing that he could do more efficient work in the gospel ministry with MRS. P. J. WALLACE a helpmate, in July, 1900, he married Miss Eliza Quarles, an accomplished young woman, a member and faithful worker of the Fifth Street Baptist church of Richmond, Va., who has since been his willing assistant in all that he has undertaken. His fourth call was extended to him from the St. Paul's Baptist church, New York city, in 1901. At this time he was attending the Virginia Union university, where he had returned to take a postgraduate course. He found the St. Paul's church with an actual membership of about thirty-five worshiping in a dance hall which cost $105 per month for rent. After laboring with them about four years, and a half he left them in their own place of worship, valued at $25,000, and a membership of $400. They have never escaped as his promotions, and he is numbered (Continued on Page Five.) FIVE CENTS A COPY Dr. John A. Kenney of Tuskegee Institute Is Issuing Series of Health Bulletins. ABUNDANCE OF FLIES MEANS MUCH FILTH AND THE TWO MEAN PREVALENCE OF DISEASE Tuskegee, Ala.—(Special.)—As a result of the tuberculosis exhibition held here a year ago much valuable education work is being done along health matters. The second of a series of sanitary bulletins, which follows, sent out by Dr. Jno. A. Kenney, physician of the school, is devoted to the fly and tells practical things which the colored people can do. Now is the time to kill the files. The common house fly is one of the worst enemies to health we have. He breeds in filth; such as manure heaps, unclean barn yards, stables, pigpens, toilers, garbage cans, and heaps of old rubbish. He is not very discriminating about his food. He will feed on the refuse of the above-mentioned places for a while, and then with legs, wings, and belly loaded with this filth and thousands of germs, many of which are disease-breeding, will fly away to your kitchen, or dining room, or bedchamber. There he will walk over your meat, fruit, vegetables, bread and over the sleeping babies, lips, leaving behind him a trail of this filth and these germs, many of which are deadly. Thus, he spreads diarrhoea, dysentery, typhoid fever, tuberculosis and other dangerous diseases. The fly that falls into the pitcher of milk and is thrown out has possibly had washed from his body sufficient dangerous germs to poison the entire household. Abundance of files means much filth. The two means prevalence of disease. Therefore, clean up! clean out! keen clean!! Attack them in their, breeding places. Cut off their sources of supply. The female lays her eggs in accumulated filth. They hatch in about ten days. Hence, if the rubbish is disinfected and removed or destroyed once a week, we destroy a generation of files. By so doing we stop the breed and at the same time cut off their food supply. Then they will seek the interior of your homes. Screen all your doors and windows and keep them out. Keep your kitchens and dining rooms clean. Cover up everything that is eatable. Don't let solled dishes or kitchen utensils stand for a minute. Where there are earth cloets, use pails, plenty of dry earth, lime, ashes and fly proof. covers. Starve out the files; then put down fly paper and fly poison and they'll flock to it. Even more essential now to take these precautions than in early summer, because the cool weather of approaching fall and winter will run them to your dwellings for shelter and food. Will you continue to furnish board and lodgings for some of your deadliest anemies? Statistics from some of the large cities prove that the above classes of diseases increase. many fold in the fall months when the first cool weather drives the files in; and before it is sufficiently cold to kill them. Away with the deadly house fly! Civilization, decency and health all demand that he must go. TENNESSEE WANTS PROPERTY OF EX-SLAVES' TO GO TO THE STATE Memphis. (Special)—Involving the rights of property owned by ex-slaves, the state of Tennessee, through Attorney General Estes has filed a bill in chancery against the unknown heirs of Susan Ann Reilly, for sale of real estate, which it is claimed, has reverted to the state by escheak. Susan Ann Reilly, it is said, died in 1874, owning lots in the Cabernet subdivision at Driver street and Railroad avenue. The woman's husband took possession and it afterward passed through several hands, a portion being sold for taxes. It is claimed in the bill that Susan Ann Reilly was never legally married and that all next of kin were of slave marriage and ex-slaves. It is the prayer that the property we sold and the proceeds used for churches and schools.

From the microbe which gives rise in human beings to the disease known as tetanus, or lockjaw, a poison called tetanine is obtained which is over 100 times more powerful than strychnine. A fragment of tetanine so small as to be invisible to the naked eye would kill almost instantaneously the strongest man. One fifteen-thousandth part of a grain of it has caused the death of a horse 1,600,000,000 times its own weight. Happiness. As long as a woman knows that somebody is jealous of her she can be happy in spite of any hardships that she may be compelled to bear. Literally "Write In Sand."

THE GRADUATE Persistent effort and the agency of time have brought to us as a people additional material, with which to build the foundation of a Race, the destiny of which demands the best we can produce in every department of life. Fresh from the duties of college life come young men and women, equipped for the battle; the battle which must be waged against ignorance, superstition and prejudice, and their success in the struggle will depend upon how well they have girded themselves with the necessary accountments. Whether prepared as a physician, a teacher, a pharmacist, or an engineer, the demand upon all is the same—a full qualification for the duties sought. Nor must the graduate forget that the world he or she new faces is far different from the one in which he or she lived during his or her college life. The world of experience is full of rocks and shoals, and it requires skill as well as theory to enable one to guide his barque aright. The world is cold and oblivious of the interests and desires of the young man or woman who assumes the responsibilities of life, and it-is only the prepared and determined who may expect the stubborn forces to yield. Pittsburg is especially blessed this year in having some of its own sons and daughters receive the stamp and seal of the local institutions, certifying to their fitness for life's struggle. Our is the duty to lend the timely hand of encouragement and help while the young graduate seeks his bearings. Too, it must be borne in mind by the beginner that class-room marks count for little in the practical things of life. He must remember that each problem must be solved by its own peculiar formula. Last but most of all, let each one remember that he owes something to his less intelligent, less tutored, less fortunate brother, and his success as a power and factor in his community will be in direct proportion as he discharges this indebtedness. FURNIBS REMAINS IN HAITI. A general quietus was placed upon the free for all scramble for the appointment as Minister to Haiti this week, when President Taft announced that he will not accept the resignation of Minister Furniss, the present incumbent. The president stated that there were more than forty applicants for the position, and many of them worthy—but that the conditions there at present are such as to render it unsafe to change our representative at this juncture. We hope, the president will consider our own F. R. Stewart when the time is ripe for an appointment. REAL DEMOCRACY Before a committee of the Colored Protective League which had met by appointment at the office of the Mayor on last Saturday, the Mayor gave expression to the highest and most liberal democracy the writer has heard in the City of Pittsburg. In substance the Mayor said that the Negro Race could not hope to rise to an elective office in the near future, because of an imaginary prejudice against him. He expressed the opinion that an imaginary prejudice is only superficial, and needed only the initiative of some contagious white man to "break the ice." He added that he is willing and ready to see the Negro have what he is entitled to in the full sense of representation, and predicted that a more liberal view of the situation will be taken by the whites in the near future. COUNTY COURTS HELD BACK. For the sole purpose of consoling the steen thousand applicants who seek appointments under the new Court, we beg to say nothing definite will be done until the Supreme Court passes upon the Constitutionality of the Act of Assembly creating the Courts. This means that only temporary quarters and temporary balliffs will be used until the litigation is at an end, which, it is fair to suppose, will be about November. In view of the foregoing, let every aspirant ponder well the propriety of resigning his present vocation, lest he find himself unexpectedly idle. LOCAL NEWS There will be a peace conferences and mock coronation Thursday, June 29, at Rodman Street Baptist church, East End. This will be the greatest event of the season.

He took up the work here March 18, 1906, and has since been well anchored in the hearts of the people of Norfolk, having the largest following of any pastor in the city. He has proved himself to be an evangelist as well as a pastor, having added hundreds of people to the church since beginning his work here. His sermons are both logical and instructive, and his hearers are always pleased to hear him. On one occasion he preached a sermon, subject "The Sins of the City," that was so farreaching in its effect upon the people of the city that he was requested to reproach the same, which he did with telling effect. So great was the interest manifested upon the repetition of this great sermon that the church could not accommodate the surging crowd that came out to hear him. Greater success is predicted for Dr. Wallace in his field of labor here in the future. On Ice.

This is a "Get-Together Age," which applies to church, home and business. The churches must work in unison; so must the pastors and so must all Christians. In the home, the cradle and foundation of all that makes for the betterment of mankind and future elevation of the race begins there. Father, mother and children must "get together," and work for the upbuilding of that home. In the business enterprise of the race, the need of "getting together" is much evident and very essential if the race is to move up in the business world. Whenever you can invest a dollar or five cents with your race in any line of business or profession, do it, and don't forget to remember the more of the race who get up at the top of the ladder, helps you so much and gives the race that much more influence, power and respect in this country. This is the Age of the "survival of the fittest." If you cannot deliver the goods, you will lose out, and you have nobody to "blame but yourself, and if you are not giving value for the money, don't blame the race for not supporting you in your undertakings. Competition is keen today, and you must be on the job and try to do a little better than the other fellow. What did for your father will not answer now. The standard is higher.

Some of theto plans may need to be united with others to fil out the session, aod any other changes and adaptations of them may be smade that seem best to the teacher. - The quarter's lessotts have taken up alx books of the Old Testament. ‘There have been five lessons in Sec ond Kings, two in Second Chronicles, two im Isaiah, and one each in Jonah, Micah and Hosea. Select six mem- ders of the class and have each write a threeminute essay on one of these books, telling about the general course of the lessons or lesson from that book, and the teachings brought out therela. Let the class listen care- fully to each eseay, ‘and at the close dictate # set of questions, which you have written beforeband, on the quar ter's lessons aa a whole, having the class write answers to the questions as they are“read. ‘The teacher will write on slins of cardboard or heavy manila paper @ gerles of questions on the lessons of the quarter, about five questions oa each lesson. These questions will cover the principal facts of the les- sons, and will be so framed that the answers ‘can be very brief. yet ade- quate. Lay the slips of paper. faco down, on the class table or on a large book ‘held in the lap, mix.them up, and have the class drax them one at a'time. in turn, The scholar that Gravis a question will read tt aloud, and then answer {t if he can, retain- ing the slip. If he does wot answer correctly. of at all, the next on his left will ‘try to answer H, and so on around the class. ‘The scholar that answers it will hold the slip, and the scholar that holds the largest num- der at the end of the recitation 1s de- clared the victor tn the little contest. Announce this plan a week In .ad yance, that the class may studs for it ‘Take a seties of lesson pictures. Obliterate the titles of the pictures, and fasten a blt of ribbon to each. Place the pictures in a. box open at the end, and let the ribbons extend outside. The scholars will draw these pictures out one efter the other, each scholar telling’ the class about the lesson to which his pletures be Tongs. holding up the plcture as ho does so. After the pictures have deen ued once, if there 1s thme they may de returned to the box and the exercise may be repeated. This form of review 1s especially adapted to the primary department. ‘The class will be divided, at least a week in advance. into tw ‘sides, each side with a leader. The sides win meet by themselves and each prepare a series of questions on all the lessons of the quarter. The teach- er will meet with each elde and make sure that the questions are fajr ones, and clearly expressed. On review day the two sides will sit facing eaci.oth- er. One side, through its leader, will propose a question to the other side, Sbich will answer If it cao, speaking always through its leader. but always after consultation with the rest of the aide. Then the second side will pro- pose a question to,the first side, and Eo on, alternating/\if the answer ts ‘wrong. the side (Rat proposed the Question scores a} point; if partly wrong, half a point. The side that Is defeated may be required to sire a social, at the teacher's home, to the other side. This review. =bich 1s espectally sulted to adult classes, consists of a series of essays or talks on the prin- cipal topics of the rarlous lessons. "As far as possible, the speakers will choose thelr topics or lessons. but the teacher will have a list ready for cuggestion. The following lst will bean aid: -“L—The Healing Side of Religion. T—Our Unseen Defenders. 111 — Starting the Yolng in Their Lives. 1V—Our Care for God's House, V.— The Universality of Chrfstiactty. Vi—The Perils of Pride. VIl—Our Work for Our Country.

Mainz Cathedral In Danger: The famous Malinz cathedral, one of the oldest and most interesting in Europe, is stated to be in serious danger, owing to the action of underground water. Special drainage operations have before been carried out with a view to removing the danger, but apparently the results have not been lasting, water having again collected, and it is feared that the effects on the foundations of the cathedral will be disastrous. It is now proposed to proceed, without delay with the work of strengthening the foundations, not only of the cathedral, but also of several other rock buildings, including the ducal capita.

There are more than 300,000 colored members in the mother church, and they are there to stay, we believe. The influence of the church upon the general lives, of the nation may be seen in the lives of the men pictured in the Southwestern, and many not pictured there, who have been educated on Methodist money, inspired by Methodist doctrine, and led in the way of achievements by Methodist examples of persistence. Among the number of whom Dr. Jones writes, is Emmett J. Scott, whose excellencies many men know, and whose service in his day is household news. Of Mr. Scott it is here written: "Emmett J. Scott is the pride of Texas, an honored son of the whole race. He is a product of Wiley university and this distinguished alumnus of this Texas institution is loved and honored, not only by the alumni of Wiley and the Methodist host of Texas and this southland, but his friends and admirers are legion the country over. He was discovered by Dr. Booker T. Washington 14 years ago when he was in Houston, the editor of the Texas Freeman, which he had founded. Previous to this time Mr. Scott had done work upon the white dallies of Houston. Mr. Scott is best known as the executive secretary of Tuskegee and the strong right hand of Dr. Washington. He enjoys the full confidence of his chief, and because of Mr. Scott's clear thinking, devotion to the high ideals, his integrity, and his high moral character, he has not only been able to serve Dr. Washington and the great Tuskegee institute, but he has made a place of his own. It was no empty honor when President Taft appointed him one of three commissioners to the Republic of Liberia, being the first negro ever sent abroad on a warship by our government on a like mission. Emmett J. Scott is a prince." The schools are turning them out by the thousands at this time of the year. And fortunately more opportunities are opening every year for young colored men and women. The demand does not as yet equal the output of the more scholarly classes. The masses, however, are finding employment, and which, after, all means very much to the professional people who must depend on the welfare of the masses. The condition is not unlike that elsewhere, but of course, in a smaller and a more limited way. The white people have no sharp, abrupt, well defined gradation as between classes as the colored people have. Their societies, speaking industrially, gently merge into one another, making it more difficult to observe that the professional classes depend on the welfare of the masses. The point is that the colored people are also approaching that plane where the well being of one class, right among themselves, aside from the same general condition, means the prosperity of other classes, thus establishing an interdependent relationship, which in the end, equals the welfare of all. Heretofore the colored people have looked almost solely to the white race for everything. And indeed they are by no means eliminated as yet, since that same general interdependent relationship includes them. But they have reached the place where thousands depend on other thousands of the race directly for their daily bread. Here is an excellent chance to talk optimistically of the race and of the country, regardless of other conditions. Talking up the good points of the country will do more good than harm—The Freeman. I am conscious that the Negro race is a laboring under disadvantages, but I always prefer to put the emphasis on advantages. One of our advantages is this: In studying American history you will find the Negro is the only race that came to this country as the result of a special and urgent invitation. Moreover, they were so anxious to have us that we came here without having to pay a cent of passage money. We are gradually getting into business. Many thousands of small shops are owned by Negroes, and they can get banking facilities as easily as the whitest of the whites. Why, there are fifty-seven banks in the southern states owned and controlled by Negroes. And always remember that from the south you hear more of our enemies than of our friends. Up north you bear of the white man who burns a Negro's house or lynches him, but you do not hear of the thousands and thousands of the quiet southern men and women who help and advise the Negro lend him money to start and look after him. We are progressing wonderfully, and it is only by the aid of such friends as these—Booker T. Washington. Now comes James R. Harris, the brilliant Kentucky writer, with a newspaper, The Louisville Defender. We do not like the name, but what is in a name: Kentucky, home of the greatest living editor, has never had a real newspaper; controlled by colored men. We have reason to hope that the Defender will fill the place so long vacant there. We have a wide acquaintance in that state of strong men and beautiful women, and we know of no one there better fitted for the higher work of journalism than James R. Harris. The Boston Herald has the following trenchant editorial on the Colored races as colonists of Great Britain. The influx of Negroes into the Canadian Northwest is viewed with little satisfaction by the other settlers, large numbers of whom are themselves from the United States. Parties of Colored people, evidently of a good type, well supplied with funds, have been subjected to rigid tests by the immigration authorities; but it has been found impossible to shut them out, and they have pushed on to the Peace River country. All they asked, the men said, was free land and a chance to make homes for themselves and their families. "White settlers talk of an exclusion law. Now is the time, they say, soon it will be too late. Some argue that legislation is not needed; the government could refuse to grant home-steads. A member of the Alberta provincial cabinet favors a head tax. "Sentiment has been particularly stirred by reports from South Africa. There Lord Gladstone exercised the prerogative of clemency in the case of a native condemned to death for an offence which is usually followed by lynching in the southern states. Lord Gladstone gave the man the benefit of a doubt, but feeling among the white people of the colony was strongly stirred. "Britain is also confronted with the problem of Hindu immigration in Canada and Africa. The problem is the more perplexing because the Hindus are British subjects. There is also the question of Japanese immigration in British Columbia and Australia. Altogether, the race difficulty is growing serious for England. "With regard to Negroes in the northwest, only those of the best type, physically and morally are likely to brave the rigors of that northern land. Such will not be a menace to any community. If the Negro succeeds as a pioneer, he will be able to lay claim in an equality now denied him." The leading article in a recent number of The Outlook, "The Man Farthest Down," by Dr. Booker T. Washington, is the first of a series of six articles "based on observation abroad, comparing the living conditions of the European peasant, woman worker, and miner, with those of the American negro." Col. Roosevelt is one of the editors of the Outlook. In his first article Dr. Washington finds that the American negro is so much better off in every way as to make it in any way comparable to that of the white man in Europe at the bottom of the ladder. The vast number of European workmen in the United States and those who are steadily coming here indicates; he thinks, also the hard conditions of the poor in Europe. Afro-Americans should read the series of articles by Dr. Washington, as they will in that way get a vivid picture of themselves and their condition as compared with those of the least favored class in Europe. Dr. Washington's faith in his race and what it has accomplished, and what it will accomplish, with its splended opportunity for development, is one of the most hopeful assets the race has at this time. He strikes the high note of hope, and it is possible to follow that note with the faith in honest works which makes for the largest success and happiness.—Editorial: Atlantic City Messenger. We met a selfish pastor 20 years ago who had no use for a poor struggle and fought to keep hard working, consecrated young men and women down. Today that same pastor is in rags and poverty and his church members disrespect him. It pays best to be good and sympathetic all the time. No man nor woman has ever lost anything by sympatizing with others and helping others. To be true, liberal and congenial beats the world. This advice is to children, be kind one to the other and as you leave the school room give nothing but bouquets to your schoolmates and acquaintances. Don't speak of your associates; be liberal to all and selfish to none for many have fallen in shame and disgrace because they laughed at others, and they themselves soon became a laughing stock. The last selfish girl we read of want straight down to hell when she died. Therefore it pays not to be selfish—Charleston Messenger. More and more, a certain amount of race pride is taking hold of the negro in the north. Every now and then, this is evidenced on State street, Chicago, when a little grocery store or some other business enterprise is opened by a member of the race. Every office, real estate firm, print shop, restaurant, millinery store, dress making department that opens up, means employment to members of the race. What colored man or woman objects to seeing members of the race making an honorable living? If you wish to encourage this sort of livelihood, rally to those that operate race institutions; it means a salvation to the educated young man and woman; it is high time we think of these things—Illinois Chronicle. --- The negro-haters who are all the time studying some devilty to aggravate and embarrass the colored folks had might as well "go way back and sit down." We are here to stay and we can live in most any kind of weather.-Richmond Planet. The 'old song' was to this effect: "Never mind the weather so the wind don't blow." The colored brother stays 'on and smiles—regardless of wind or weather! And that's what the matter with Hannah!

It. is an {nsplratiow to follow the reports of-John Mitchell, of the Planet, who while traveling in the west as 2 member of the Bankers’ association could unlock doors no other negro could unlock. To further counteract the adverse effect of the True Reformer Bank trouble, are such article as the one by Dr. Washington on Mr. Banks, the banker of Mound Bayou, Miss. ‘As we go along tet us have al sides of the financial picture, and then’ we will have little to fear.
