Biological Society The Hearts The prince of bishops of the A. M. E. church, Abou Grant, in his signature and gracious manner opened the fifty-third annual con- ference on Wednesday, October 9th, in the St Paul A. M. E. church We hope may well be termed a city in beautiful churches and St Paul a great exception It is a beautiful place I think most in the town a wheel of truth I am a recent resident of a town in the city. With the prestinities of the conference out of the way, Dr W. T. Vernon was presented to deliver "the annual sermon" to the conference. The institution of the church was crowned and thus, in a measure, may have accounted for the splendid inspiration that was throughout the discourse. Those who have heard Dr. Vernon in the past were pleas-ingly invited on this occasion. The annual sermon was profound, scholarly, and elegant. It pointed a lesson in higher life to the large audience of preachers, teachers and laymen. But persons do not allow an interest in the work of the common endeavor. From the hour of opening until the time for closing, the work was pushed. The reports of the various departments of the plant were read the entire and growing common. Over 5,000 was raised through the direct sources of the committee. Aside from this many not only for educational. A. ELDER J. R. RANSOM, D.

Prof. Hawkins lectured on Thursday evening at the St. Paul church to an overflow house. His lecture was a splendid effort and worthy the generous applause it received. Dr. J. H. Jones, president of the Willberforce college, was another distinguished educator and divine present. He spoke to the conference but a few moments on Monday, but made a profound impression Dr. Geo W. Woodson, dean of theology, Willberforce college, handsome and debauched air, was ever present with his saring smile, and conference was free from storms. Among other distinguished visitors we noticed Dr. H. B Parks of the board of Home and Foreign Mission, Dr J. H. Collett and Dr. H. T.

Watson, we heard that our district paid in $1765.69 to this work and received for the aid of its various churches, $1312, bound to $3049.84 expended in aid of our churches in California as a result of the great earthquake. It is a great regret that we cannot more fully enter into a discussion of this part of the work. The election of delegates to the next general conference resulted as follows. Rev. J. D. Birksdale, N. C. Baren, W. D. Cook, A. Gilbert, F. Jesse Pock, Merser, J. N. Moten and O. O. Munse Alternates. Rev. W. B. Brooks, W. H. Spurlock, W. M. Alexander J. H. Gaens, M. Coltman, Merser, N. I. Townsend and Goy. W. Tetrick. The delegations elected from the various conferences of the Ecclesiastical district have arrived at Rev. J. R. Rinsom of Ipsock, Kansu, to send the delegation. This will be one of the strongest delegations in Norfolk. They will have a great and noble purpose in view. It is beyond question the desire of all good citizens of the West, regardless of church ties, that the greatest bishop of the church be kept upon this district. Bishop Grant has succeeded in doing a great work here and for him to go at this time would be a great back to the consummation of many movements of great good inaugurated through his noble efforts. Special services were held on Sunday. The following except is from the St. Louis Globe Democrat "The sermon of Bishop Grant which marked the close of his quadrennial as bishop of the Fifth Episcopal district of the A. M. E. church, was from Philippians iv, s. "Bishop Grant took as his theme the universal brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God, and addressing himself to the ministers, he said in part: If a minister cannot accept all mankind as his brethren, with a full realization of the fact that out of one blood God created all the nations of the earth, he is lacking, in those qualities necessary to be found in a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I cannot emphasize too strongly the necessity of truthfulness. If the homes of any community are pure and true the government will be made up of that kind of people. We are demanding honesty in the state. How much more then, shall we demand honesty in the church and in the pulpit. ' Brethren, you must be honest with God, honest with yourselves and honest with your fellow men. ' Let your conduct conform to the principles of righteousness, keeping all your moral obligations and at all times and in all things putting yourselves in harmony with right. As ministers, we should be no lovely in our lives and conversations that our example will excite love in others and give to the world a beautiful character, so that wherever our lot in cast, a good report will be found of us. With characteristic cloquence the venerable bishop, with tears flowing down his cheeks, appealed to his people to cultivate sobriety, truth TOPEKA PLAINDEALER.

The Future of the Race. We love content, lating the history of the great total wave of African civilization which overflowed the Fatherland for centuries B.C. which gave land and language and it is true to the great nations of Greece and Rome. We love to think of Euclid the world's great man with his short stature, like complex in flat nose, high thick bones, woody hair and barely legs, hating from Africa and making the most mighty intellectual bequest the world has had; and even in the early centuries A.D. we would like to make our house of such theological and ecclesiastical giants as Origen and Tertullian.

It is not in the power of an earthly potentate; it is not in the whim of the President of the United States of America; in the unanimous verdict of the Southern white man, nor in the god fatherhood of the Northern philanthropist that shall arise the prosaic perennial future of the Negro race, it is not in the aggregation of of all the civil and political forces of so called civilized world that the panacea for all our all shall be found in the future, but rather in the individual all of the individual N to reach forward and hold upon the Lord the Ruler of the universe, who comprehends the dust of the earth in a measure, weighing the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance and before whom the inhabitants of the earth are a very little thing.

We can have no more point of assurance of that truth than in our Lord's own declaration namely. "The very hairs of your head are all numbered." "It a sparrow falleth to the ground without your Father." "Fear not, little lock, it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." "But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these shall be added unto you." There is a great future for the race, which must be built upon the present. All the trials and persecutions and ostracisms which are present factors in our history will be no much much of the wrath of man that shall praise God.

Most every Baptist minister in the state were present, and several hundred displays was used. The welcome of those was delivered by Rev. Shields for the mayor, and Rev. Sunders of the M.

They have purchased a 10 were farm and a 9 room house just out from Lawrence, which will be used to keep the old and decrepit Baptist from being sent to poor farms. This move is worthy of commendation, and it is through President Wilson that it is a reality. Rev. d. H. Van Lue, the general missionary, is one of the best in the country. He travels over the greater portion of the United States and sees and knows what is needed by the Negro. He has just returned from Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina and Georgia. Rev. Van Lue says the poor element among the whites are growing metier and more unbearable, that the Negro in many communities is nothing more than a slave, that a colored physician of Clarkdale, Missouri, purchased an automobile and and the white people compelled him to ship it out of town. There are too many Negroes who never heard of the great West or homosexual excursions. They cannot get away and don't know how.

Read what Dr. W. L. Taylor, one of the greatest financiers of our race, who is the president of the True Reformer's Bank, Richmond, Va., has to say about the great success of the Black Diamond Development Company. Dr. W. L. Taylor, who is the Grand Worthy Master and Ruler of the True Reformers, an order that numbers 70,000 members, states as follows: I have personally visited the Black Diamond Development Company's gas and oil fields and closely observed its surroundings, and from every indication I believe that the project is worthy of patronage of incorporating members of the race. I have found out that the statement of the Vice President, L. L. Jones, and the other data to be held. They have right wholly with me at 21.25.2010. are marketing the game. Now, when such men as Dr. W. L. Taylor, of Richmond, Va., and Messrs. Sandy W. Trice and George E. Henderson, of Chicago, also Mr. H. Jones, of Pittsburg, Pa., go and see for themselves what we have on the field, and make such a statement as they have made, it must be true that this is one of the colored enterprises that has made a success. Mr. L. L. Jones and the other directors of this company deserves great credit for the manner in which they have conducted affairs and made this company a great success. The large pipe line will be completed Sept. 10th. There are a few more shares for sale, and all who are to make a good investment ought to identify themselves with this great line.

THEY ARE MOST PRIJIGIOUS. Chinese Declared to Be by One Who H . Made a Study of Them. How do the white man especially the man of those of us who go forth a missionary of the Chinese character! To the element of Chinese institutions, and the Chinese themselves, it seems outrageous presumption, for the truth is that the Chinese are without doubt the most religious people on the globe, says a writer in Outing. Their religion is a very part of themselves, accepted without discussion from birth. The verlest paper, from a worldly point of view, who lives on one of the hundreds of camps floating before Canson, will deny himself in order that he may perform a particular religious duty. There are no people save the Mohammedans that so completely live up to the faith they profess. China has no divergent churches no wrangling abstractions there is the one creed, of thousands of years standing to which all will allege and to which all pin a faith that continues unto death incontrovertible. Now and again we hear of a converted Chinaman; but I never saw one that had really broken from the faith of his father who was not the less trustworthy. In a considerable perforation with many kinds of natives in the wilderness of their own country, I have invariably found the one farthest from civilization and the "converting" influence of conflicting white man creeds, to be the most honorable and dependable. I mean this as no verbal reflection upon the Christian faith or upon the zeal, often, alas, so ignorantly directed of many good people. Dictionary for Directory.

He was one of the most widely known Negroes in the West, and during his residence in this state he was a leader in politics, having served as minister to Haiti at the Harrison administration. Capt.

On the two hundred and sixty-three members of the dance, only seven were invited to represent the books of letter on City and State and the city Association of St. Louis and Ivan City. Let be said to the credit of the different Associations, that they ordained, who through their many and Christian character, were able to work out my freedom that might arise in a state where the sections are safe with southern sentiment. The program of the convention included the names of men of national reputation, in many walks of life. The colored people of Fulton are prosperous, cultured and laying their homes. They took pride in entertaining the colored delegates. WINFILLD.

It was found, in engaging jap laborers for work in the beet fields and for general improvement work in cities that many of them were not strong enough to stand heavy labor, and it occurred to M Chums, one of their native citizens, that it might be possible to find work for all such in the Southern cotton fields accordingly. he visited Guthrie several months ago and made arrangements with cotton growers to give the jap a g, No Honing Hard blades 24 keen cutting g man velvet hined easy.

It happened that the negro farmer who was successful in homesteading a chin planted cotton and his white neighbor planted corn and wheat. It was further north than cotton had ever been successfully grown before but the negro knew how and the result is that Oklahoma has a greater diversity of steps than any other cotton growing state. It soon became evident in Oklahoma, however that the main alone could not harvest the ever increasing cotton crop on the territory. It was necessary to obtain additional labor, and attempt begin to educate the Indian to this kind of work. In the extreme southern countries of the territory where the race mission has always been a prominent question Mexicans were brought in frequently to do the picking instead of the negroes for it was feared that the negroes might remain permanently and colonize the Mexicans they could ship out of the country when the crop was picked. And finally the Indians were obliged to the list. of the farm and a private hog and language to the notoriously fields close to their homes for work at a time. It is not an unusual sight to see a live barn art with red from six to twelve children of all ages and ages working side by side in the same cotton field, their earnings going into a common fund that will stop the entire found's operating the winter months. The cotton grower has found that it is cheaper to feed the more picker than any other. He draws the same wages but it is not necessary to provide for him so expensive a diet. YALP, KAN Rev. R. C.

Hayes began by saying that he struck the padre's trail on a certain day, followed it for two days and on the third day, while his command was resting at noon and taking their sleets, the old padre came down on them. The "boys" gathered themselves together and whipped the Mexicans off, killing quite a number of the padre's command.

Mr. Patey to the stock list Mrs. Miner to the stock list The Advantages of Mental Development. At a Moss and Lateray Program teacher at the Second Reprint her a Family evening at Manhattan, Mr Mue, a student of the Agricultural College read the following paper In these days of a common living we find that mental labor making faster progress in the way of advertisement than manual labor. This statement can be proved in a great many ways in every field of work, not in the welfare of our race. It lets us remember that manual labor is not in the least degrading as long as it remains word with honest pay. There is a certain dignity in labor which is many minds cannot perceive. books for the sole purpose of training a living without a hard manual labor and bring out of them nothing for a nation to advantage of bring their knowledge to the light and view of others. During the last quarter of a century a great deal has been done by our people in the line of church and Sunday School work then the means of education. Education has a tendency to house intellect, create enterprise and to broaden and deepen the mental powers. There is no in situation of any kind that can ever hope to rise to the highest standard of excellence unless intellect, enterprise and good, sound judgment are utilized to the fullest extent. The only way to gain these qualities is to develop the mind by land mental training. According to a science called psychology the entire body is controlled by centers which are located in the brain. These centers control habits, morals, manners and character. If these centres are developed in the brain by hard study and concentration of the mind, who can doubt that they will be manifest outwardly in the form of intelligence? Now let us turn our attention to the race question, which is beyond doubt the most difficult that any person have been compelled to face. The only possible hope for the Negro race is to live with good moral principles, develop his mental powers and cultivate habits of industry. It is necessary that we deal liberally with educational matters and thereby gain intelligence which at the present time seems to be the only thing that will place in the recognition of the white man. As long as we are known to be indolent and unlearned we are sure to be held down by those who are greater in power than we are, and for this reason we should gain intelligence will enable us to see our condition, and what is nobler and grander still, to better it. While we are holding this subject of mental development in our minds let us not forget that manual labor is in a measure just as important. The body as well as the mind should be developed physically by work and exercise. It can be readily seen that a strong mind can scarcely be a weak body. The mind should not be deped at the expense of the body. The financial that it is wrong to strive for wealth, but it is saying that it is wrong to cultivate a love for money. As we all know the salary of intellectual workers exceeds that of manual laborers. It might be well to state the comparison by saying it is four to one. Of all these advantages obtained through mental power and application, character and intellect stand first. These two types are absolutely essential to our prosperity when we be satisfied by FINCA NOTE A daughter was born in Mr. and M. Sanders Smith and is a small there is an since the snow.

When you come to think of it most of us do have a hard time keeping ourselves in order. Temper, nerves, selfishness, and longings, ambitions and desires, all insulting to have a hearing, and down steps wisdom and orders control. Of course there are the cool headed, intellectual people to whom self-sacrifice means nothing, and little they know of the sight of the other passionate half. Ill health and discontent are the fruits of the battle. Keep serene, say, "I shall control myself and be a cheerful philosopher" and all will go well New York Post. ..The Topeka.

The occasion of commencement by the ladies of Missouri plotted for the night at Allen Chapel. A crowd of six hundred on the lawn, with people in the two houses attended by musical bells by the Western University. Lord Palmer, a number of its local society and all condition by its strong enthusiasm, was attended with inspirational excellence in tations in elocation by Melanie Fulls of Chicago and Mr. Proof, Griffin of Kansas University were invited with unusual skill and called forth mounted on scenery. In the oratorical contest the main event of the evening, the contestant top presenting Lincoln High School Kansas City, Mo., failed to make his appearance. The contestant from Summer High School, Kansas City, Kass Monzo Morgan, started off well, but in the middle of his oration forgot his selection and he gave up the effort. The contestant from Western University, William Ellister, delivered an eloquent speech on "America, the Paradise of the Negro," and at successive intervals brought forth tumultuous applause from his listeners. The decision, however, was denied to him by a trick of the judges, who were hissed unmercifully by the entire audience. This injustice, nevertheless, has made scores of new friends for Western University. Why Not? DO YOU NOT KNOW that the Knights of Pythias is the strongest and most progressive order of the age? The four departments of the order are as follows: SUBORDINATE LODGE: In this the members are united to care for and protect each other interested as well as in sickness and distress. UNIFORM RANK In this department our young men are receiving a military education which they can get in no other way, thus making them bet- ter and more useful citizens. LADIES COURT In this the wives, mothers, widows, daugeters and sis- ters of the Knights are united for the common pur- pose of life. ENDOWMENT In this department we are paying off thousands of dollars annually to widows and heirs of deceased Knights. IF THERE IS NO LODGE in your locality, confer with the Deputy Grand Chanc- eller, District or Ward, and send the Widows, and heirs of deceased Knights.
