THAT CODE OF LAWS
The net result of this initiation has been to bring into disrepute a home and throughout the country, as evidenced by the out of town press the colored women of our teaching force - many of whose names have been whispered on the streets of the city as being involved in the Moor's case, when they were not, and a final and last desperate assault upon the Assistant Superintendent of Public Schools by men and women who have not bestablished to take advantage of the Code of Laws of the District of Columbia, which makes libel a criminal offense but not the spoken word. When called upon to reduce to writing charges, which with a singular freedom from restraint have been made by irresponsible people in public no responsible person connected with the Parent's League has put down over a single signature any charge involving the moral character of any school official.
GOOD PEOPLE THERE
There are some good people in the Patents League courageous, straight forward an honest. These have simply been misled by viciousous as section unsupported by fact and by misrepresentation which has gone unchallenged because free speech is denied.
Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University attempted to place the truth of the School system before the pub lie in the daily press, leaders of the Parent's League called on the President of Howard University to suppress him.
There is not god has not been denied the last decade any distinction whatsoever in the striction exercised by the person to whom so be are port and endure once of all activities inaugurated by the school authorities.
So great have been the enthusiasm and endearment of the new public touching such affairs, that floor space has been greatly inordinate to accommodate the eager thousands, who have sought admittance to all varied and numerous function inaugurated.
PROFED OF THE SYSTEM
We are proud of our colored school system, proud of the record it has made in the education of the colored youth of the city—many of whom have gone forth and taken responsible positions in the professional and industrial life of the nation, many of whom have distinguished themselves in the military service of the Republic where they have recently, on the bat-
HOLLOW NEIGHBORS IN THE
LEVEL OF NATIONS
the main implicates in various talks that the League of Nations has the right to come up the tribunals of oppressed minorities, whose means that if the Irish troubles become more acute after the league is organized the whole question, in its opinion should be investigated.
"This is regarded in American circles as a broad interpretation of the covenant." "A broad interpretation of the covenant is a third phrase to describe the increased extension of the authority of the projected League of Nations to the "internal affairs" of the British Empire, and an in expectation that may we close insight in our own Southern States.
It is as plain as the nose on Uncle Sam's face that if the League of Nations can take up the Irish question in the British Isles it can take up the Negro question in America. It is as plain as daylight that if the representatives of one race can bring its troops to the League of Nations the representatives of another race can bring its troubles to the same tribunal.
And it is as plain as a pikestaff that if the League of Nations interferes in the internal affairs of one nation nothing on earth will stop it from infering in the internal affairs of another nation.
Now if the Irish question is loaded with dynamite the Negro question is loaded with TNT. Outside of Ireland nobody questions the legality of the kingdom's rule in that island, and inside of Ireland a good many persons do not question its legality, however much they object to it as a political fact. But inside the United States and outside the United States everybody knows that the political condition imposed on the Negro in the South is but ally, openly and completely illegal. That condition is imposed on the Negro in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States and this violation of the Constitution is indebted with the full knox lodge and consent of a large majority of the white population of this country. North and South. There is another master for South-can state men who conceive the League of Nations to be a harmless, de-boring society to consider:
In the far Hungarian Empire there are millions and millions of black men, many of them educated and able students of public affairs, but it is not inconceivable that among them are leaders who in the event of the situation of the League of Nations would utilize it of their own motion to stir up trouble for the United States over the Negro question; and it is no inconceivable that should the United States manifest a desire to bring the Irish question before the League of Nations or to gain best interference in British inquiries, and these black men display no disposition to bring our Negro problem before the international superstate some Briton would find a way to stimulate them to undertake such an enterprise N.

In Memoriam.
ANTHONY In loving memory of my dear son Raw, William T. Anthony, who married the life on June 19, 1917, two years ago:
Calm on the bosom of thy God,

Soul to its place on high!

No more may fear to die.

ANNUAL MEETING OF LOVE AND CHARITY
Session Held at Culpeper, Va.—Many Delegates Present—Great Progress Reported—Plans for a Greater Work.
The District Grand Ternacle No. 2 of the G. G. A. O. of Brothers and Friends of Love and Charity convened in the 51st Annual Session last week in the beautiful and beautiful mountain town of Culpeper, Va. Debates in the preliminary exhumae including Maryland and Washington G. C. at large numbers attended the meeting riled with genocide contemplation.
DISTINGUISHED LAWYER MAKES FINE ADDRESS ON ORGANIZATION
ON ORGANIZATION.
Prominent in the preliminary excerpts of the opening session was a successful and eloquent address by John Bernard Milner who represents the mayor of the city who because of urgent business touching his office duties was detained from filling his number on the program, delivered the welcome address. The representative of the mayor titled the place in an able and acceptable manner. He declares on the necessity and power or organization, soaking of the achievements of one people in business and on recent but he fields the fact that the valorous deeds of colored young men in the recent war were incertions and should receive the grateful recognition of this whole nation; that the peace and prosperity of this country depend largely upon the co-operation of the good people of both races, colored and white, for between these two classes there is never any friction. His remarks were frequently punctuated with applause. At the request of the chair, Rev. Dr. Z. D. Lewis responded to the welcome address in a very pleasing manner.
WORTHY SUPERIOR SOUNDS THE
KEY NOTE FOR ALL THE DE-
PARTMENTS OF THE ORDER
Concluding the preliminary exercises, D. G. Worthy Superior J. B. Lawrence in a very forceful and eloquent manner delivered his annual address in which he struck the key note of the refrain which rung out from every department of the organization. He expressed his delight at receiving such a large number of delegates from the subordinate tabernacles. He stated that notwithstanding the financial strain that during this year fell upon fraternal and beneficial organizations such as ours, that our organization is still fully able to protect the interest of every member on our roll; that in our office there is not a single unpaid death claim that heretofore we have done but lit the advertising in the newspapers, but have been content to let our works speak harder than words. That by this means the people had seen the merits of our order and found their way into our tents; that their has been no complaints sent up from any section of our jurisdiction but through the entire brotherhood harmony and peace prevail; that the more new members in his opinion was the need of the hour. The address was received with rapturous applause.
DRIVE FOR 10,000 NEW MEMBERS
LAUNCHED. PRIZES OFFERED
WHO WILL WIN?
A feature of the report of D. G. Financial Secretary, W. G. Watson was the recommendation that during this year the members of our order would launch a drive for 10,000 new members. The idea was received with great favor and according to three prizes were offered to those bringing into the order the highest number of new members over 20.15 and ten respectively.

Twenty-fifth Wedding Anniversary
Mr. and Mrs. John A. Beard, of Brook Hill, celebrated their twenty-with anniversary on Friday evening, May 30, at their beautiful residence in Brook Hill. The lawn was artistically decorated with Japanese lanterns and scenic arrangement. The guest were seated about the lawn in rustic seats and enjoyed themselves with social chit chat until the time arrived for the ceremony.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Scott C. Burrell in a solemn and pleasing manner. After the ceremony the guest were served with a recoast to the enjoyment of all. The many friends after an evening will spent, left their hartiest and most wishes for another quarter century of bliss for the "bride and groom." The silver was beautiful costly and very tasty.

SOUTH CAROLINA LETTER
(E. B. Webster)
Florence, S. C, June 10. —The Rev W. R. Frasier, pastor of the Washington Baptist Church at Lancaster, S. C. after a short visit here left on Tuesday morning for home. Rev. Frasier is doing a great work for the cause of Christ and his race in the upper part of the State. He is pastor of Silver Mt. Baptist Church, where fifteen years ago he found fifty members but now it has a membership of three hundred. The city Church has added three hundred to its membership since he took charge three years ago. He is a Pythian and a Mason in good standing. While enroute for Livingstone College a few years ago his father became suddenly ill, which put a stop to his educational work at that time, but since then he has availed himself of every opportunity to qualify himself that he might be able to preach the Gospel in its purity.
Monday night at Trinity Baptist Church, Rev. Douglass Herben, of Baltimore preached an able sermon, assisted by the pastor, Rev. C. T. Taylor. He used as a text Timothy 18:1. He dwelt on the great necessity of giving thanks to God at all times for His goodness toward us.
Mr. T. B. Wright one of the leading farmers of Rembert, S. C. and Miss Marion Woodward a teacher and race worker of Gadsden, S. C. were married at the home of the bride, on Wednesday June 4 at three vclock, Rev. Green officiating.
Mrs. Wright is a graduate of Benedict College, class 1918 and at present a teacher in Mayesville Institute at Mayesville, S. C. Mr. Wright is deacon of Rafton Creek, Baptist Church, Treasurer of Sumter County State Fair, also one of the directors. He is closely associated with lion. R. W. Westbury of Sumter, S. C. in business matters.
Among these attending the marriage were Mr. R. W. Westberry of Sumter, Rev. J. J. Stacks President of Morris College and Rev. J. W. Boykins of Camden, S. C. The bride and the groom immediately boarded a northbound train for a pleasure trip North visiting Richmond, Washington, Baltimore Philadelphia and New York. The writer joins friends in wishing them abundant success and happiness.
Mr. J. W. Moore of Wilmington, N. C. passed through the city recently enroute to Bainbridge, Ga. to visit his father who is quite ill.

Last Sunday we had a pretty live time in our Sunday School.
At 11:30 A. M. Rev. Cobbs preached the Sixth Anniversary Service of the Superior Lodge, No. 45 N. I. B. S. We all enjoyed the preaching of the Reverend, also a very timely address coming from Brother A. W. Holmes, Supreme Grand Master.
3:30 P. M. The Rising Sons and Daughters of Hope held their Anniversary services. Rev. Cobbs seemed to be at his best. Everybody enjoyed themselves.
Tomorrow at 11:30 Rev. Cobbs will preach a special sermon. Subject, "A Message from God to the Fox."
At 3:30 P. M. the Morning Star Beneficial Club will hold their Anniversary services at the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church.
Rev. Cobbs left Monday for New York, Washington and Philadelphia. Of course he will be with us Sunday morning.
The first of June we were very glad to see Mr. James Braxton, one of our Fulton boys who has been in the cavalry service of our Government for some time. He is now at home on the reserve list. He is looking fine.
Mrs. Williann Jones is yet sick. She was taken with a stroke of Paralysis Tuesday, June 3 while at home. Miss Frances Greene has improved greatly. We hope she will be able to be out soon.
Mrs. Mary Johnson has been added to our sick list.
William T. Lee is in the Virginia Hospital.
Deacon George E. Manning is at the Memorial Hospital.

The occasion was to preach the Odd Fellows annual sermon May 11. Rev. Brinkley was at his best and his sermon was beautifully delivered to a very large and enthusiastic audience. Monday, the 12th the Odd Fellows tendered a banquet in his honor. It was quite a brilliant affair. Rev. Brinkley is always a welcome visitor in our city, where $h_e$ is admired and loved by all. Rev. Brinkley expressed himself as being delighted to so $e_e$ great progress and real life along all Church lines and the improvements that have been made under our present pastor, Rev. S. A. Thurston whose motto is "Excelsior."
Our Church is on the move preparing for the coming Jubilee. Rev. Thurston is chairman of the Northern Neck and he is hustling to have his Church and territory well represented. The Church and all auxiliaries are about prepared. The Buena Vista Lodge, G. U. O. F. had its annual sermon proached to them by Rev. Thurston and he proved himself equal to the occasion. Mr. John Banks, of Ronceverte, W. Va. was the guest of his daughter-in-law. Mrs. Kissie P. Banks of Randolph Street. Mrs. Martha Fisher has gone to West Virginia for the Summer.
Mrs. Ida Edmondson, New York; Mrs. Etta Laws and Mrs. Emma Beverly of Philadelphia were the guest of their parents Mr. and Mrs. Jessie Barber of Moore Street.

VOLUME XXXVI, NUMBER 31.
WASHINGTON CITIZENS PLEA IN BRUCE CASE
June 1919.
Washington, D. C.
To the Board of Education,
Washington, D. C.
Ladies and Gentlemen - On Tuesday evening April 15, 1919 there was held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church 1518 at St.reet, N. W., a Musc meeting. Several days prior to this meeting the students were distributed amongst the city, inviting citizens to be present. A copy of this circular is hereto annexed, marked "Exhibit A." The curators are headed, "Moens Teachers May Go." On Tuesday morning of the same date, the Rev. C. M. Tanner pastor of this church was informed by the Department of Justice that but one school teacher was in any way connected with the case in question. At the meeting several hours later this information withheld from the person in large sum of money was in carry for a mediation which now assumes the form of demanding the removal from office of Mr. Rosece C. Bruce who was not even remotely connected with the Moons' affair.
INVITED TO ATTEND
Mr. Bruce was invited to attend this meeting. He went. He was prepared to sneak in defense of the school administration. He was compelled to sit on the platform with the picked speakers of the evening—deltic craterly insulted and denied an opportunity to speak either in his own defense or that of the school speaker. We respond to the above request of facts without comment. As the weeks went by, other Mass Meeting were held and are still behold. No names of the Moons' Teachers have been given to the sub scribes of the purification fund, and the burden of oratory is—Mr. Bruce must go. At all of these meetings combined limited to approximately twenty speakers all told, no one is allowed to speak unless he first declare his opposition to Mr. Bruce—free speech denied to him. We also respectfully submit this statement without comment to your honorable body.
THAT CODE OF LAWS.
The not result of this agitation has been to bring into dispute at home and throughout the country, as evidenced by the out of town press, the colored women of our teaching force—many of whose names have been whispered on the streets of the city as being involved in the Moors' case, when they were not, and a final and last desperate assault upon the Assistant Superintendent of Public Schools by men and women who have not heated to take advantage of the Code of Laws of the District of Columbia, which makes label a criminal offense but not the spoken word. When called upon to reduce to waging battle with a singular freedom from restraint have been made by irresponsible people in public no responsible person connected with the Parent's League has put down over a single signature any charge involving the moral character of any school official.
GOOD PEOPLE THERE
There are some good people in the Parents League—courageous, straight forward an honest. These have simply been misled by vicious as sertion unsupported by fact and by misrepresentation which has gone un challenged because free speech is denied. Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University attempted to place the truth of the School system before the public in the daily press—leaders of the Parent's League called on the President of Howard University to suppress him.
There is not and has not been durig the last decade any diminution whatever in the satisfaction expressed by the average parrot in the support and endorsement of all the activities inaugurated by the school authorities.
So great have been the enthusiasm and endorsement of the general public such after that floor space has been grievously reduced to accommodate the eager thousands, who have sought admittance to all varied and numerous function inaugurated.
PROUD OF THE SYSTEM
We are proud of our colored school system—proud of the record it has made in the education of the color youth of the city—many of whom have gone forth and taken responsible positions in the professional and industrial life of the nation—many of whom have distinguished themselves in the military service of the Republic where they have recently, on the bat-
the fields of France held high the best traditions of the American Army. We reagent the disgraceful agitation which has been going on in this city for some weeks as not representative of the best thought of the color of citizens of Washington. Your subsidiary statement are in daily contact with large numbers of responsible and intelligent colored citizens of the community, who have thousands of children in the schools, and they as well as we are proud of the pre-eminent intellectual fitness of Mr. Bruce—established at Harvard University as a student practically applied to the intricate nature of the school administration in this city. We have the honor to remain. Very respectfully yours. —WASHINGTON CITIZENS.
AMERICAN NEGROES IN THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
A senior correspondent of The Sun recorded the tribute of the attempt made by a delegation of Irish Americans in France to mance President Wilson to intercede with the British Government in behalf of the Irishman who waned sage conquest to the Peace Conference. The Irish-Americans were unbound on Colonel House by peace with Wilson, and on Secretary Gailey by Colonel House and had they remained long enough they might eventually have been passed along to Henry White, who although the fact is generally forgotten is a member of the American delegation to the Peace Conference.
President Wilson according to our corresponding, "match to the attitude he defined in the Washington conference when he said that Ireland was Great Britain's internal affair," and holding this opinion he could not in his own opinion ask the conference "o give hearing to the Irish republic delegates as it had heard the judo-slave and others." But—and this is a protentious revelation—our correspond continues: "He President however, is not entirely unsympathetic to the Irish cause, it is believed.
"He is indicated in various talks that he Uehovels the League of Nations has the right to take up the troubles, he oppressed minorities, which means that if the Irish troubles become more acute after the league is organized the whole question, in his opinion should be invest gated.
"This is regarded in American circles as a broad interpretation of the covenant."
"A broad interpretation of the covenant is a mild phrase to describe this neglected extension of the authority of the protected League of Nations to the "internal affairs" of the British Empire, and an interpretation that may well cause thought in our own Southern States.
It is as plain as the nose on Under Sam's face that if the League of Nations can take up the Irish question in the British Isles it can take up the Negro question in America. It is as plain as daylight that if the representatives of one race can bring its trousles to the League of Nations the representatives of another race can bring its troubles to the same tribunal. And it is as plain as a pikastack that if the League of Nations interferes in the internal affairs of one nation nothing on earth will stop it from interfering in the internal affairs of another nation.
Now if the Irish question is loaded with dynamite the Negro question is loaded with TNT. Outside of Ireland nobody questions the legality of the kingdom's rule in that island, and inside of Ireland a good many persons do not question its legality, however much they object to it as a political fact. But inside the United States and outside the United States everybody knows that the political condition imposed on the Negro in the South is brutally, openly and completely illegal. That condition is immanent on the Negro in direct violation of the United States and this violation of the Constitution is tolerated with the full knowledge and consent of a large majority of the white population of this country, North and Southe. Here is another matter for Southern statesmen who conceive the League of Nations to be a harmless debating society to consider:
In the far flung British Empire there are millions and millions of black men, many of them educated and able students of public affairs. It is not inconceivable that among them are leaders who in the event of the formation of the League of Nations would utilize it of their own motion to stir up trouble for the United States over the Negro question; and it is not inconceivable that should the United States manifest a force to bring the Irish question be forced to bring the Nations or to support interference in their affairs, and these black men disqualified no disposition to bring our Negro problem before the international superstate some Briton would find a way to stimulate them to undertake such an enterprise.

DISTINGUISHED LAWYER MAKES FINE ADDRESS.
ON ORGANIZATION
Prominent in the preliminary exercises of the opening session was a forceful and eloquent address by Ion Bernard Miller who represented the Mayor of the city, who because of urgent business touching his official duties was detained from filling his number on the program, delivered the welcome address. The representative of the mayor filled the place in an able and acceptable manner. He discussed the necessity and power or organization, speaking of the achievements of our people in business and on recent battle fields in defense of this country, emphasized the fact that the valorous deeds of color men in the recent war were meritorious and should reive the grateful recognition of this whole nation: that the reunion prosperity of this country depend largely upon the co-operation of the good people of both races, colored and white, for between these two classes there is never any friction. His remarks were frequently punctuated with applause. At the request of the chair, Rev. Dr. Z. D. Lewis responded to the welcome address in a very polishing manner.
WORTHY SUPERIOR SOUNDS THE
PARTMENTS OF THE ODDER
Concluding the preliminary exercises, D. G. Worthy Superior J. B. Lawrence in a very forceful and eloquent manner delivered his annual address in which he struck the key note of the refrain which rung out from every department of the organization. The expressed his delight, agreeing such a large number of delegates from the subordinate ternacles the financial staff that notwithstanding this year fell upon fraternal organizations, our organization is still fully able to protect the interest of every member on our roll; that in our office there is not a single unpaid death claim that heretofore we have done but lit the advertising in the newspapers, but have been content to let our works speak louder than words. That by this means the people had seen the merits of our order and found their way into our tents; that their has no complaints sent up from any section of the organization but through the entire brotherhood and mony and peace prevail; that the more new members in his opinion was the need of the hour. The address was received with rapturous amusement.

RICHMOND UNION MEN THREAT EN WITHDRAWAL FOR RACE REASONS.
Election of Colored Man to Executive Committee of State Body Arouses Resettment of Local Unions.
OTHERS EXPECTED TO FOLLOW
Alexandria Convention Goes on Record as Favoring Public Ownership of Public Utilities and Indorse Initiative and Referendum.
Election of a Negro named Page, of Newport News, as one of the five members of the executive board of the Virginia State Federation of Labor at the Alexandria convention this week is causing a feeling of resentment among the members of Richmond labor unions, and it is probable that at least some of these unions will withdraw from the organization. Labor men declare that this action would be followed by unions in other parts of the State and as a result a disruption of the State Federation of Labor would follow.
Thirty Negro delegates from Tidewate Virginia unexpectedly appeared and took part in the proceedings. John H. Hall, Jr., of Fortsmouth and George L. Wilcox of Richmond were candidates for president; the latter having served as president for the year just ended. The majority of the Negroes voted for Hall and he was declared elected.
In addition to Page the following were elected as members of the executive board: John Nelson, Alexandria; W. E. Akers Roanoke; W. A. Davis Norfolk; and J. Stewart. Other officers elected were E. A. Berryking Newport News; Vice-president; A. Wolfe, Norfolk secretary and treasurer; James F. O'Connor Portsmouth sorgent at arms. William Bouncer Portsmouth was elected delegate to the Atlantic City meeting of the American Federation of Labor.
FAVOR PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
The convention went on record in favor of public ownership of public utilities and after an address by General Jacob S. Coxey adopted a resolution indorsing the initiative and referendum. Predictions are freely made by local labor people that 50 per cent of the unions of Virginia will withdraw from the State Federation of Labor. (Times Dispatch.)

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR
YOU NEED A REAL SCALP FOOD.
There are $ \mathrm{o} $ so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing mor $ \mathrm{o} $ than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use $ \mathrm{o} $ your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seechy's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes $ \mathrm{th}_{0} $ roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair.
Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired.
To get best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Sechy's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo.
Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Sechy's Quinade and Sechy's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.

FARMVILLE NEWS.
Farmville, Va., June 9.—Do colored people prefer to attend amusements supervised by a white man or amusements supervised by a colored man? The answer is, No. And yet it seems that the colored people rather go to the white moving pictures than to the colored ones. Perhaps we do not know what good pictures are shown at the Ely Street Hall on Monday and Tuesday nights. Who will blame you for not attending pictures if they don't suit you, for we are learning how to appreciate the best? As we observe, we can notice that on Monday and Thursday night there are hardly five people at the Ely Street Hall, but at the Opera House on Main Street we find enough colored people crowded upstairs in that hot hole to support the colored pictures.
This ought not to be. This picture show on Ely Street was established for the colored people so they can enjoy themselves without being molested. We cannot persuade you to attend any place but come and see and be satisfied with pictures as good as any.
In the near future an effort shall be made to get members for the National Association- for the Advancement of Colored People. We are hoping that all the colored population of Farmville will be interested. This Association has done and is doing much for the colored people especially educationally, and that is what we need much in Farmville.
We need a Public School and a High School, Farmville has no school for the colored children. They must go to a large county school or go to boarding school too soon.
Rev. Wiley, pastor of the First Baptist Church was absent Sunday, being away on his vacation. His pulpit was occupied by Rev. Lewis Joffries of Virginia Union University.
A splendid audience greeted Rev. J. R. Augustus at Beulah A. M. E. Church on last Sunday morning. We heard the message to the Church at Pergamos and to the Christian Church of to-day, which was uplifting and inspiring to us all, Text, Revolutions 2:13.
At 3:30 the young people turned out in full. The topic was discussed and enjoyed and the songs were inspiring. Superintendent M. J. Augustus also gave some strong advice to the young people long to be remembered.
At 8:30 the members of the First Baptist Church and Beulah hold their first union service of the season at Beulah. A large crowd was present. It was our good pleasure to hear the Word of God from one of our own Farmville boys, in the person of Rev. Augustus Griggs, B. D., who is here on his vacation.
Rev. Griggs is one of the orators of the race. One who also lives the life and when he speaks he says something worth the while. This worthy divine eloquently preached from the subject, "A Postage Stamp" which thrilled us with joys unspeakable. After the sermon a splendid offering was lifted by Deacon Ward and Steward Madden. Many good things were said in this meeting. On next Sunday night the members of Beulah will worship with the members of the First Baptist Church.
