TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Historical Society State House VOLUME VIII. Mr. Charles A. Groves Presents a Matter Worthy of Careful Study. I care not to speak of Plato or Homer, of Webster or a Gladstone, but upon a subject of far more vital importance to you and to me. It is one which has all and all to do with the welfare and destiny of our race of tomorrow, and the one that is discussed, intelligently, too little among us as young men especially, viz: Woman; or, the weaker sex. Perhaps, had I chosen a theme pertaining to agronomy, or agricultural economics, as foreign as they are to many, you would have said it was in keeping with my profession; but woman was the first thing I became interested in after making my advent upon this planet, and much more so now. Then, why should I not speak my convictions concerning her who has done for me what to man is and was an impossibility. As a student in society, there arise many perplexing questions; of them all, this seems most perplexing and far more complicated than any other phase of the so-called race problem, via: Woman, or, the weaker sex. While I do not advocate radical reforms in society, nor am I pessimistic concerning woman, I am most emphatically and diametrically opposed, and forever shall be, to man being crowned Lord of Lords and King of Kings, when he willfully neglects or forgets to pay just homage to her whom God has made to be a fellow-partaker in life affairs and considers her too inferior to be taken into his confidence. We should be reminded that in reviewing the pages of time we find that in proportion as the world has admitted woman to its confidence, in that same ratio has it approached the pianacle of civilization. Too often we hear the statement made of woman that she is less self reliant, less ready to cope with sudden emergencies and more easily overcome by difficulties. Very likely; but I know and am intimately acquainted with a woman who has divided her brain, her energies, her all, among fifteen human souls, played a very important role in her husband's affairs, cared for a home, has pointed many a weary soul to the Tree of Life, and today her face reflects that youthful glow, her hair its raven luster, and she has more sense than the majority of men. Show me one man among you with all his self reliance, able to cope with sudden emergencies and overcome difficulties, that has fostered the cause of humanity one-fifteenth as much as this one woman. Then, how can man boast of his consummate superiority when he is the product of the so-called inferior? Can you name one man in this race of ours, who has accomplished any degree of success, who must not, if the truth be known, attribute that success to women, or, the weaker sex. The Afro-American woman has given unremittingly of strength of body and soul; hence, the outlook for her is ever widening, her dormant capacities are quickening and developing. Her actualities are muscular and her potentialities only God can rightly estimate; consequently, she is valued as never before, and, with an unwarying purpose to exalt womanhood, be cutting its rights in this world, "survival of the fittest," never sacrificing principle nor arousing useless antagonism, she has removed herself from that humiliating position of dependence until now she is able successfully to cope with man in his several vocations, as shown by statistics, and has won fame in the arts, sciences and professions. Who is it that is demanding of man a good, stiff bank account, a home and his sacred devotion? It is the twentieth century Afro-American woman, or, the weaker scz. The world's cry today is for men; all that the word implies, and to obtain these we must have the highest type of women. With the advantages of knowledge of the sciences, a broader exposition of God's laws and the one great aim, the betterment of our oppressed race, remembering also that the day of pity and sympathy for the black man has passed, and that today he is placed in the balance of greatest sensitiveness, and that it depends upon the weaker sex which way the needle vibrates, what will your posterity say of you and to you if you do not manipulate all forces for the betterment of their condition? Do you think it possible for any well bred man to love an ignorant woman? I think not. How important it is that Afro-American women should be educated—not limitedly, but broadly, for in the present age one cannot afford to cultivate the brain to the exclusion of all else. Educate your hand, head and heart. Be well rounded, remembering that if you have a burning desire, a dogged, determined will to obtain and possess such an education, though of the weaker sex, no matter how humble or low your position in life, the barriers are not erected which say to your aspiring talents, industry and frugality, thus far and no farther. Again, errors can be discovered only by intelligent thought. The mind must be trained to reason, to create ideals, to regulate imaginations and to direct and modify emotions. All this can be accomplished only by education, and it is a safeguard and a prerequisite in the performance of the more sacred duties. Oh! ye matrons of tomorrow, while it is impossible for you to make over men who have been made at, years ago, it is possible for you to almost wholly determine the character of our future generations. No child has a fair chance in life who fails to be well born and mothered. God pity the child who has a worldly, ungodly, frivolous mother, for the blight which a weak, wayward life may bring, not only upon itself but upon many innocent, in beyond conception, but in accordance with Nature's laws. No position in life is superior to the influence of mother's love, for all that I am, all that I have been able to do, I owe to my mother. My future aims, hopes and all that I expect to be, are centered in woman, or the weaker sex, for no man can reach the renith of his fame without a conjugal co-worker. Women, whom will you choose among men? Counterfeits are numerous; beware those serious vices, foul blots upon humanity, which impair its energies, barring the race's onward march, and is steadily dragging us downward to brutality and diabolism—vices that breed crimes natural, unnatural and supernatural, by which and from which you have been and are the silent, greatest sufferers. Permit their perpetuation no longer. Demand that society shall have but one standard and exact from us with whom you consent, the highest regards for purity of thought, purity of deed. Sway the scepter that is at thy command; and soon, very soon, man will learn that your social condition, as, your eternal welfare, is not by your wealth or beauty, but by your moral and mental qualities. I will agree with Miss Parks, not by way of apology but because I believe and know that it is true, that we give too little (Continued on Page Eight.) TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 11, 1906. DR. WASHINGTON'S VISIT TO MISSOURI. "The Greatest Man in the World" Was Royally Received at St. Joseph---Hon. J. R. A. Crossland Pays Him a Glowing Tribute---Spoke to 7,000 at Kansas City. "No white man can harm the lowest Negro without the best blood in the white race being aggrieved. No white man can aid a Negro without enabling his race. "I don't know what your girl is going to do, but if she cooks for a white family or a Negro family, you should make her fit for the work. It is no disgrace. "Our people are a great people for thinking and talking about the next world. Let us stop investing in coffins and invest in homes. Stop living in filley alleys and build nice comfortable homes." Booker T. Washington's visit in St. Joseph, Mo. was one that will long be remembered, and out of which much good will come. In the evening over 700 people attended a reception and collation in his honor at the A. M. E. Church, Third and Antoine streets. C S. Wheat J. IATCE 12 ENO HON. J. R. A.

My grateful acknowledgment to you. Mr. Wheatley, for the friendly terms in which you have referred to me and the very high compliment you have bestowed upon me on this auspicious occasion is enough to move the soul of the dullest men. If language with me was but the scaffling of thought, words would still be inadequate to express my high appreciation for this honor. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a program before us. I shall endeavor, as your loast master, to carry it out. I now invite the Rev. Dr. J. R. McClain to invoke Divine Blessing." "Our Opportunity for Business in St Joseph"—H. H. Walker "Our Guest. His visit and mes Hon. J. R. A. Crossland introduced Dr. Booker T. Washington in a magnificent and unexcelled way Dr. Crossland's eloquence was superb. Among other things he said: In all ages, great crises have produced great men, who have commanded the respect and admiration of the people of their day and generation, but in their origin and environments none of them are to be compared with Booker T. Washington. Carnegie says, 'He is without sin' I go one better; he is the only earthly Solomon that the world has; he is a man of wisdom; he knows that no individual, no matter how glorious the achievements or how brilliant the successes, can rely upon the past, and therefore Dr. Washington is constantly at work. The 'eat and be merry for tomorrow PATCE EMU tessman Who Paid an Eloquent washington at St. Joseph. you may die' policy of the Negro is rapidly being superceded by Mr. Washington's policy of frugality, industry, and economy. The race is learning more and more the important lesson of saving as well as earning the mighty dollar. "Every man has his peculiar ambition and sometimes, seemingly, that desire to succeed drives many a man from the side of his people, but remember, ladies and gentleman, Mr. Washington clings fast to the hands of his race and at the same time moves calmly through the gloom. I regard Dr. Washington's school as the greatest element in the solution of the race problem from an industrial and educational standpoint. "There the Negro is given the higher branches and at the same time he is given a trade. There he learns to cut down trees, convert them into lumber and the lumber into houses and other things, as well as how to read Greek, Latin and Hebrew. He is taught how to survey the land of the earth as well as how to measure the distances "Yeah his genious, his industry, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. his learning, his scholarship, his humanity and piety are among the most splendid indubitable treasures of the race. Dr. Washington, when you are bowed by the weight of nearly a century, loved as you are by a nation, respected by the world; when you lay your weary head upon the bosom of the Universal Mother and with her arms around you, sink into that mysterious slumber called death; then and not until then will the civilized nations of the earth fully realize and appreciate all that you have done. "Ladies and gentlemen, I now present to you the man whose name is enshrined into the hearts of the people of the world. I now present to you the 'Star of Hope', the idol of our Republic, the orator of the nation, the Cicero of America, the Demonthenes of all the states and territories of the union." Dr. J. R, A. Crossland was the only colored man to make a speech introducing Prof. Booker T. Washington to the public during his visit to St. Joseph Saturday. His speech is reproduced in this issue of The Enterprise. Prof. Washington in speaking of this said that he had been introduced by millionaires, statemen and other great men of nation, but never had an introduction which excelled or even equaled in all respects the one given him by Dr. Crossland. Bishop Grant, in his closing remarks at the banquet, said he had been a close friend of Dr. Crossland's for many years, but he had no idea the doctor could speak as well as has been demonstrated. "If any of you," said the distinguished bishop, "have any thing against this man, give him a chance and hell talk it out of you." Dr. Crossland, Dr. leader of the High School orchestra deserves much credit for the excellent music furnished on the occasion. In the language of Bishop Grant, "He works his instruments equally as well as his father works his mouth."—St. Joseph Enterprise. (Continued on Page Light.) NUMBER 19. Justice! But Few Negroes Adhere to the Doctrine of This Noble Church. "Is it not a strange anomaly that though the Church has ever been solicitous for the Negro, receiving him on the same footing as the white at her altars, and with the same love receiving his canonized relics thereon, there are comparatively few adherents, of the colored race, in our Catholic doctrine. One of the greatest doctors of the Church was an African, and one of her latest saints is Benedict, the Moor. —Catholic Union and Times. The antipathy of Negroes to the Catholic Church is not so inexplicable as our contemporary would suppose. America is, broadly speaking a Protestant country, and as such has instilled in the Negro that aversion to and prejudice against the Catholic Church, which, though it may be growing less pronounced, is nevertheless the legitimate progeny of Protestantism. Coupled with this is the fact that Colored people have been educated to believe that whatever consideration is extended to them by the Catholic Church is inspired by an ulterior desire to add to its power by force of numbers, with little regard for Negroes as a race, or, in fact, for any interests outside of that church. But it must be said that such a conclusion is an injustice to the moving spirit of Catholicism. True it is that many of the more ignorant adherents of that Church in this country have maintained blind, unreasonable antagonism to the colored race. But the same could be truthfully said in reference to many of the more ignorant adherents of most Protestant denominations. The Catholic church has as much right to be judged by its representatives, and not by its irresponsible rabble, as has any other denomination, or has the colored race. And it cannot be denied that when it comes to the great questions of human rights in this country, especially where Negroes are concerned, the leaders of the Catholic church have spoken out in tones of thunder, while the leaders of most Protestant denominations have sealed their lips with silence and bowed to the mandates of the most relentless foes of human liberty. It has been but a few weeks since Archbishop Ireland stood before 10,000 people in Kansas City and made a plea for justice and fair play, not for Negro Catholics, but for the Negro race, such as has seldom been made in this country by any dignitary. To such representatives, and not to the ignorant rabble, should Negroes turn in order to learn the true sentiment of the Catholic Church toward their race. - Exchange. The Aller, Christian Endeavor met Sunday evening at 7 o'clock at the A. M. E. church. It was opened with Bible reading and repeating of Bible verses.

The Second Baptist church is making headway, Congregation very good. Pastor Hall is preaching hard and with much hope of having a great church in Wahita some day. The pastor preached two special sermons last Sunday. May 10, and all who heard them said they were benefitted much because of hearing them. The rally was truly good considering all things.

He it known that God is a just God and looks not upon a man on account of color; that he will visit the weakest in an hour they think not, and those unhuman being that can assist in burning a man because he is black, not for crime he has done but because his skin is black; remember, my dear heathens, that you shall burn in hell for the way you do your fellow man, as God is not pleased at it and the destruction which will visit you and your children shall pay for every black face that has been mobbed at your hands. We served your race like dogs would serve their masters, yet you kiked us, beat us, and hanged us, burned us and did everything that could be done, except to trout us right, as trodden down people. I ask in the name of the Lord how long shall we be oppressed by such a people? May God speed on the time that every Negro hater and preacher shall meet the works of his own hand and remember whatever you sow you shall reap and if you fail to see it on this side of the grace, I thank God that you shall meet it when you have to stand before God and hear, your final doom "DEPART" Then you shall burn in hell just like those poor, helpless Negroes burned in Kansas and Missouri and that forever I pray to God that every black face of the Union States will ask God to avenge our oppressors in his own way and that they may see and know it is the hand work of God. I know how this is your concentration Yours to spiritually W. L. Biscox H. L. 1st, Lopka, Kau JOPLIN, MO A state warrant was sworn out against Mrs M. M. Story and Curt Battend, two women of dispatable characters in this city last Wednesday, April 15th, by Mrs. L. M. Clark. These two women are guilty of lying in want on A and Main streets for Mrs. Clark as she was returning home in the evening from shopping in the city and Mrs. Story proceeded to abuse her in a terrible manner by swearing at her and accusing her of being friendly with her husband. A state warrant was sworn out against them by Mrs. Clark from Prosecuting Attorney Andrews' office and the case is set for next Thursday in Judge Coons office. We trust that this case is will be given a fair deal from the fact that the two defendants are not worthy of respect from any of Joplin's best citizens. Mr. and Mrs. Story have been separated for some time and he has been rooming with Mr. and Mrs. Clark at D and Main streets and this seems to be the cause of the trouble between Mrs. Story and Mrs. Clark by the former accusing the latter of improper relations with her husband. Mrs. Clark is one of Joplin's best ladies and her success is hoped for by all who know her. This is the class of people that infest all cities and every effort should be put forth to drive them out or continually keep them in jails and other places of imprisonment, and it will be better for those who lead people and who abide by the laws. WEIR CITY, KANS. Mrs. Amanda Gray was taken to a lumbus on the 3d and placed in ja- tter being adjudged with unsound mind. She is about forty-five years old was to have been married on the 20th or April. Mr Robert Fields and Miss Lily Park were united in woodlock on the 2d Midtimes S. D. Worthing Stan- ley and Miss P. Patterson long were visited by the 4th, the ghosts of Mrs. Idle and L. P. Taylor of West A. Mr. Juno Wrench had his house stolen from him on the 1th Mr. N. Norweather received a come message to come to Columbus on the 7th where his wife is with her mother. Mr. J. Sindler is running a business that keeps him out of the city most of the time and Mr. Robt. Holly is running his bachelor shop. Mr. Roger Lerguson has a mighty pick chill. Mrs. Annahda Wadkins departed this late on the 8th. and forty eight years and lost a husband and eight living children and six dead. She was a devoted member of the A.M.E church and was burned on the 8th under the airspace of the Daughters of later nuncle. All delegates expected to attend the State Convention will notify Mr. Holly of the reception committee. A good many are hoping to attend the Old Lakes annual session of littering bans on the 14th Washington's Lecture. The lecture given at convention Hall last Friday evening in Kansas City, Mo. was one of the largest gatherings of colored people as well as the largest body of the same class that Prof. Booker I Washington ever had the pleasure of taking in the West. There were between seven and eight thousand people present and about from seven hundred to a thousand whites. Prof. Washington was at his last and for an hour and three quarters he held the audience spellbound. His talk has undoubtedly done an untold amount of good to the colored people in Kansas City, especially on the Missouri side. His reference to owning property, learning trades and becoming taxpayers in order to become representatives of the community was timely, as the colored people of Kansas City, Mo, have made very little progress along business lines and it is about time they were getting busy. Prof. Washington gave them some good wholesome advice which we hope they will take seriously and next year there will be at least one dozen grocery stores and confectioneries among the colored people of that city.

Prof. Washington arrived in the city Friday morning and was met at the depot by a delegation and escorted to the residence of Bishop Grant, 512 Washington avenue, Kansas City, Kansas, of whom he was the guest while in the city. The Bishop and Mr. Washington are lodging friends and it was through the efforts of the Bishop that Mr. Washington was sent to deliver the lecture at Convention Hall to the benefit of Dugget Hospital, an institution located in the house sale and which was recently purchased by the A.M.I. committee.

He urged them to leave the destructive city life, buy homes in the country, raise poultry, hogs, fruit and produce for the market, as well as to rear healthy intelligent, industrious families for the uphift of the race. Said he did not deny higher education, but rather encouraged every Negro to learn every profession, every art, every industry, all College and University train that any other race had learned and even to excel them in it. But for the great bulk of the 10 millions of Negroes in America he believed, as every other race in the same conditions had had to do, that the Negro must lay the foundation for the race in agriculture, and the merchantial arts and industries, then the upper tenth the professional classes of the race will have a field upon which to grow and prosper.

T. Russell's Discourse at Binghampton (N. Y.) Yesterday. Binghampton, N. Y., Jan. 29. Pastor Russell of Allghons, Pa., preached twice here today. In the afternoon he gave his and initial discourse on "Jo Holl and Bass, in the evening on "Selling the Hair night." The text of the letter was "I longing diligently lost any man fail of the groom of that; lost there be any formation in patient person, as I know why for one motel or most sold, his husband." He knows sh 15 to Pastor Russell said. He lay on both and learn, the son of locust and grimm-bones of Abraham, in twelfth of ninety of you. Abraham was at insupporting the city, in six and eight, but his special wealth came of his top a with good, on account of well he was known as the friend of God. In line with this friend she be had a close bond of the great will and government which in few worlds is not all of the divine plan for the reclamation and blessing of the world. mankind that promise was to Abraham and his seed his posterity, will be here had already been appointed on the road as the channel through which the blessing would descend to later generations. I am and laugh, his twin sons, were in the line of favor. The fact that I am was born just gave him an natural pre-eminence, and under the lawenous he was the heir of two thirds of his father's property and the sole son of his titles and dignities, etc., which in this case would include two oath bound Covenant. our text refers to Esau as a formica tor and prostitute person, but these words convey a false impression to the aver age reader. A more easily comprehended translation of the passage from the tract to the English would say that Esau was heathenish, a prostitution or seller of his birthright for base, un- worthy considerations. In a word, Jacob had great respect for God's promi- nies, and a strong desire to be the heir of that promise; Esau had a less noble mind and punished to his appetite at the expense of the higher interests of the future, represented in God's promi- nies; David was not only willing to give up his mess of potage and go hungry that he might inherit the path bound Covenant's blessings, but more than this was willing subspecifically to flag from his father's moan, from his hat, worth, and be a stronger from his forty years on this struggle. I were taken pants to the blessing as we shown Linda Spagnia, dear to us in the thought that he had put them on the latest state, at the fullest point.

In the night blessing of the in the white only possession was put in and in his bound Company the location of the All- The Apostle Paul in his letter to the Galatians is in all his refers to incidents connected with Abraham and Isaiah, and in general to events as that would all of these events were intended on a true enough then great lesson, then chief importance to us, is allegorical or would picture, representing a truth applicable to the Lord's people during this gospel age. In the text he leans the thought in the same direction, and his implication tells us that all of the Lord's people should have a trust in God and in his with bound command which would correspond to the confidence maintained by hands of old, and that we all should be on guard against any and every thing that would in any degree correspond to the attitude of heart all still represented by Jesus and his course of action. All this is generally recognized by Christian people, but usually a mistake is made in the application of the matter. The world in general is considered to be the law of this, which approves not God's favor, while the church, nominal, is supposed to correspond to the Jacob also, which did appreciate and greatly desired a share in the mutual tance of the oath bound covenant. This is a mistake. The world can not sell its buttight, for the simple reason that it is no buttight as the apostle declares, the world is without God and without hope (Ith. n. 122). True, we have a hope for the world, built upon this very oath bound covenant, which declares that ultimately all the families of the earth shall be blessed. But this promise in no way belongs to the world at the present time, it is in no sense of the good to be made applicable to them in their condition of abjection from God and unbelief in this promise, they are outside of any importance at the present time. Who have the Birthright? The birthright the inheritance of the oath bound fortune, with all of its powers and blessings, belongs to those who are in relationship with God. The Jewish nation occupied a position of re lationship to God, and therefore were in the bread plane of favor, while the postures of Israel were outside of the promise and favors and privileges of the same, although they also were children of Israel and children of Abraham. During this Gospel age, in which we have the antipodes of the things of the past, the fulfillment of those allegories, we find that two steps are necessary to bring us into God's favor and to make us spiritual Israelites, heirs of God' abl joint heirs with Jesus Christ our Lord. The first step is that of justification through faith in the redeeming work of Christ, whose sacrifice was finished at Calvary. The second step is a full con- who have taken these two steps and heirs of God, the antypical heirs with Christ of the catholic boundovenant made to Abraham. This the apostle shows, saying, "If we be Christ's then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise" (col. in 29). It is amongst those the intypeal seed of Abraham that we must look on the two classes represented altogether in such and in the light of Apollo. It will in that botton on the first of God the seed of Abraham has landed upon the two or three represented in plant with blood and treatment, in the hope set forth that they are supposed to have at their most, in the touch of nature at promise in connection in every vital and they only to end in all things through the life of them. They have perfect blessings of nature, and have also in common with the world, but they togge them. In the Lord's providence matters so turn out that they will test and prove everyone of the class, whether they prefer the earthly favors and blessings and contents and privileges, or whether they prefer the spiritual blessings which belong to the future and may be enjoyed now only by faith. If they choose the one, they miss the other. time the other hand there is also a class of those who have the favor of God have come to a knowledge of Him, have become members of the family, and who are thus heirs to the great spiritual blessings coming, but who are not appreciative, and are ready to sell their hopes and prospects of eternity for temporary gratifications of this present time. There in the allegory are represented in Isaue, and their course is briefly pictured in his poly of key, blithe-right. Pottage Test to Merchants. The chiltern not lately, among the price representatives in the all-grown village no amount of ideas between the prices of his business prompts and his contributions of the Lord and the truth he has content ambitions, and is in mind that he can not improve test and Minimum but must choose Warmer than he will pursue his worldly interests for wealth or fame, or whether or will rename those and pursue the study of the Lord's Word and rules of consolation to Him, with greater comfort and smaller income, he must do whether he will have the mass of potage or be an heir to the National Government. Sometimes the test comes even more severe than this, and it is not merely a question of more business or less business, but perhaps a question of no business for a time it has faithful to the Lord, we have known in stance in which business men have been boycotted for the Truth's sake. Then they had a test respecting their love for the Lord's favor and their participation in the Abjurantine Convention on the one side with earthly hopes and contests, the mass of potage, on the other Sometimes it is the labour on me chan- who, because of his love for the land and devotion to the service thats himself hated of all man for the land's sake, for the truth's sake and in- side that he will escape such petty per- sonation by putting his light under a bush, by making the land so softly unworthy, contrary to the divine arrangement it is for him to death what is not he will have a share as an imitation of the consent, on whether he will choose music of the music of petals of present sound and earthly airs. A Doctor's Mess or Pottage. The constricted man who is a physician is also a test along this line of a mess of pottage entirely prosperity for the seeking, and loss of that prosperity it gives the attention that it is worthy of to the occasion to gain the great prize of joint heirship with Christ as an inheritment of the oath bound Covenant's provisions and blessings. In the Lord's providence the Truth has never been popular, and we understand him to teach that it will not be so during this gospel age. Thus he provides the opportunity for our testing—whether we love the approval of the world and its reward of money and name and fame, or whether we prefer his approval and are ready to risk the cost. We know of several physicians who are in just such a case. One of these imbuiting the Truth, and seeking to circulate it among his friends was greatly opposed by those who nominally were fellow Christians, and who, like Dum of all, were exceedingly angry with him because of his love for the oath bound coward of God and his faithlessness in telling the good things. As a result of that faithfulness, from having the largest practice in his city, he today practiced his lost it all, but he thanks too as he realizes that he has gained a living favor and is making sure his hot upon the divine promises, by the faithfulness which has thus cost him something in the loss of certain advantage. The Sacred Morse. These principles apply only to 1 more citizen and those in the higher walks of the law but even to the small men and to the librarians. Everyone who is in the Lord's family must expect that at some time or at at he will be tested to see which he loves, the more, the 'mice of pottage' in his prospects to inherit once in the earth bound Covenant. A STROG MAN! John G. Glynn, who has announced himself candidate for sheriff of Leavenworth county, subject to the Democratic primaries, will receive most of the entire endorsement of his party in that county. He is the strongest man the Democrats can nominate, as he has good standing with the Republicans, as well as the Democrats, from the fact that he has been connected with the police department and detective force, having dealt with all people, and is well acquainted with the criminal element. What Leavenworth needs is a vigilant and active officer who can rid the county of thieves and thugs. Mr. Glynn is a gentleman of honor and integrity, and his ability cannot be questioned by any of the best business men in the county. If the Democrats wish to have any show they will do well to nominate Mr. Glynn as sheriff next fall. From what we have seen and heard there seems to be a disposition on the part of the active Democrats of Leavenworth county to organize Glynn clubs. He is strong with the colored people, and if nominated will undoubtedly poll a considerable number of votes from that side of the house. In the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas.

Sometimes they do not at all touch on the question of money. Look at the sisters, for instance more generally their trials are along social lines. As an illustration we think of a slater who, having been very prominent in one of the nominal churches in a Norton city, in due time was brought to a knowledge of the divine plan, and saw that the Church of God is one, and that the organization of sects and parties is entirely contrary to divine authority, and that to be taught to the food and to all of the people she should stand simple, is a mere abhorrent body, the true church, separate and distinct from earthly organizations, notated only to Lord, and thus united indirectly to that and to all who are the worshippers. She is a little to the pastor's explanation that she was still a child of the Lord but that having received a greater light upon the meaning of the Word she is seen of that it was to abhor to not hear it from other Christians and to have fellowship only with the on-demonstration and by soiling to imply separation from the other; that for this reason she must now withdraw not from the one Church of the living God whose name are written in heaven, but from an earthly sect which God and His Book never authorized not recognized. The ship was taken on with the full expectation that it would cost something but that the blessing of the Lord and a manifestation of her respect for the inheritance in Christ was well worth the sacrifice that might be imputed and the enduring of all the difficulties that might result. Grieved That They Taught. It may be asked, why should Christian ministers oppose the presentation of Scriptural teaching? We answer, for the same reason that the scribes and Pharisees came upon the apostles and forbade them to teach the good tidings, namely, as we read, "They were grieved that they taught the people. (Acts ip.2). They preferred to have the people in ignorance. They realized that for the people to have the eyes of their understanding opened would measurably decrease their power and influence over them in proposition as they would find that they had been misrepresenting God's Word and plan. Where is the Jacob and Esau text in this matter? We answer that the ministers mentioned, for "one nomos of meat," are apparently willing to sell their birthright—their space in the glorious things which took birth in reserve for them that love Him and love righteousness. They are willing to prostitute, their office, and influence to the deung of that which is evil, willing to sell their future prospects to their present advantages. In these various particulars they have the distinct purposes of Esau, which the Apostle adds to look for on the other hand, to small minority are willing to owe to have their names cast out of earth, to have themselves and then teaching misrepresented, slumbered by the Esau do. In conclusion dear friends, it is for each of us to decide first of all have we entered the land's family at all, do we could, be at another of these classes? Have we been begotten of the Holy Spirit so that we could be lions of this great promise? If not, the purity world is a full consecration of ourselves to the Lord that we may be no victim of Him and become His dear children. If we have already taken the steps of faith and obedience in propit that we now question ourselves is to sports our loyalty at heart to the Lord and the truth, to what extent do we love this better than we love houses, lands, parents or children, yea, the self also? Are we willing, if circumstances so require, to lay down our lives for the truth, in its service, etc.? If so we may safely count ourselves with the Israel class, and trust by the Land's grace to be among those "overcomers" to whom He will grant to put with him in this throne and be associated with all the work of the pillarful kingdom FROM KANSAS CITY, KANS The finest and largest gathering of Atto Americans that has ever assembled at Convention Hall was present May 18th to hear our distinguished Eooker I Washington.

There 19 great demand for them, as the white peo- ple of that section of the country are getting tired of Japa and Chinamen; they do not want anything but pro- ‘gressive and industrions colored men and women. No loafers or those who idle the year around need look towards Oregon, as the laws are very strict against that class and are rigid- ly enforced. It strikes us very forcibly that the colored people of these states who wish lo better their *ondition should goto a state like Oregon, where the laws are more equally interpreted. The schools are mixed, the laws are administered according to justice, and seldom, if ever, to the people judge by the color when it comes to business. Take advantage of this opportunity and scatter over the great West. PUBLICATION NOTICE. No, 33,794 Jn the District Court of Shawnes County, Kansas. Mary A. Macdonald, Plaintrfi vs Fenton P.
