THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. DR. JOSEPH T. HILL HERE. The "Colt" for the Master and the Water from Bethlehem's Well--Moderator Johnson in Charge VOLUME XLV. NO. 28 DR. JO Charms La Bai The "Colt" for the Bethlehem's Well (Special By John Mitchell, Jr.) The Second Baptist Church was packed last Sunday morning at 11:30 o'clock. A solid mass of humanity thronged there to listen to a sermon delivered by Rev. Jos. T. Hill, A. M., M. D., D. D., pastor of the Roanoke Baptist Church, of Hot Springs, Arkansas. The distinguished pulpit orator came on the invitation of Moderator E. F. Johnson, chairman of the Committee on Call of a Pastor. The choir was at its best and other divines occupied seats on the rostrum, which place was beautifully decorated with palms and cut flowers. Charles Satchel Morris' Introduction. Lecturer Charles Satchel Morris, Jr., famous for his oratorical power was named by Chairman Johnson to introduce the speaker. He performed the task in a manner that thrilled the audience and affected the preacher. Rev. Dr. Hill acknowledged the complimentary references to himself and expressed a desire that a leader with such rare abilities should over the ministry. He said: He expressed his pleasure at seeing Editor John Mitchell, Jr., present and pronounced him to be an outstanding character in this country. "In 1920, I was asked to go to Canada to a white church to preach. When I got there I found that the white people have religion, too. I have sense enough to know that the law of supply and demand is just as true in the pulpit as in the market. You must have what folks want. I believe I have that." He spoke of the experiences during the war for four months. They were seeking to have ways to reach men and they wanted men strong in reason to do it. Three Drawing Influences. The government had posters to influence those who could read the pictures. Then they had the marine band, the music of which would get them all. I have all three. When you can carry all three, then you are out there. I haven't a Mothers' Day sermon to preach, although this is Mothers' Day. I shall talk to you from II Samuel 23:15-17. "And David longed, and said, oh, that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate. And the three mighty men broke through the host of Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David nevertheless, he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the Lord." I wish I could preach you this morning solely in connection with the text. Do not consider me. Accurate Information. I weigh 223 pounds, am six feet tall, my voice is heavy and I wean a No. 9 shoe. Forget the new man. Let's get together so that we may receive the sanction of the Holy Ghost. He repeated the text and said: "That in my judgment is a most beautiful story and carried a practical lesson. That the influence of childhood, the memory of a mother has its greatest effect after maturity is a fact. It has had the greatest influence over me during my life. This influence has a great carrying power, a great saving power." In a Cave. David was in a cave. Bethlehem was not far away, for the gate was kn in plain view. As a shepherd boy, th he had led his sheep over the field st in every nook and corner. Every-ss body knew little David. The Scrip-watures say he longed for-water. I H wonder if it was thirst, or just a sa case of home sickness, the desire fi to be around the home-place that made him say, "Oh, that one would ti give me a drink of water from the Dwell." These childhood memories I tug at our hearts and they just m keep us and as long as the picture of the one woman, mother remains fresh in our memory, we are not ant to go astray. A Child's Training. That is why it is said, "Train up a child the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." My mind goes back to Caroline County, Virginia, where I was born. Multiplied memories have come up afresh. Those childhood prayers, "Now I lay me down to sleep, etc." Memories as I talk to you. In Little Rock, Ark., they had a curfew law. A Christian mother sent her boy off to camp He became a little wild. She said, "John, I haven't much to leave with you. I am going to put thumb-marked Bible in our grip. Remember that at the curfew hour, 9 o'clock, mother is praying for A Touching Reminder. Overseas, this boy went with the crowd. Just as he was about to go into a bar, he stepped back. He nalted and said to his companions, just as I started to go in there, I couldn't raise my foot to do so. The memory of that mother's teachings saved that boy, Old Virginia and Richmond especially is to be congratulated upon the fact that the home spirit is still with you. There are not so many flats. It is the home spirit. It was a demonstration of the love David's men had for their chief in their determination to satisfy his longing. He was in a cave, a stronghold, Bethlehem was surrounded by Philistines, who expected David's men would come to get water. Three strong men went to get it. Philistine or no Philistine, our great chief shall not have a wish to get unsatisfied. We'll get it. We are reminded here that Christ came that we might drink from the well of salvation. Gethsemane, the Cross, Pilate's Court waited for Him. He had to fight every inch of the way to make it possible for us to drink from the well of salvation. Friends, we owe a great deal to persons who are always doing something for us. There are friends that defend you when you are not in a position to defend yourself. There are so many people needing love that do not get it. We do not know how much good we can do by saying just a word to those who are in need. The Value of Friendship. The Value of Friendship. You say you have friends, I am not so certain about that. When you have a list for a social affair, you find so many that you are worried unless you leave off some of their names. But you get in trouble. You'll be blessed if you can put your finger on one man or woman who will go down with you. A visiting member, who had carried the rent money from the church to a poor member was told: "I thank you for your toughness. I can pay my rent with it tomorrow." Don't misunderstand me. It means so much for you to come and talk with me. I don't preach for form and fashion, friends. "I labor to present lessons that will be lastings. I'll go down and let them have the benefit of my companionship. Oh, that one would bring me water to drink from the well just inside the gates of Bethlehem. Plain Sermons. I brought this subject because I know the way-faring men, even though they are fools, are understanding what I am saying. David said, "I can't drink this water, I would drink the blood it caused. He poured it out that God would sanctify it and make it holy. The finest part is not the act itself, but the motive back of it. I sing sometimes. I was a revival singer for Dr. Moon (white). He said, Hill, I want you to go to dinner with me. He had a child. He came to RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1928 him and said, Daddy, and brought him weeds. It was the motive in it, the spirit of that little crippled child, 'trying to make her father happy. That Spirit of Love. The water was all right, but it was the spirit of love that made his friends put their lives in jeopardy. It was the motive. He drew a word picture of those three men, resolving that they would get the water—wonderful heroism. He spoke of David building a temple with a name thereon. My friends, you are in the capital of Virginia. You are in the old Confederate capital. Many own your own homes. You can serve your God under your own vine and fig tree unmolested. When I look over there and see that face (Rev. Dr. Z. D. Lewis) it means something to me. The young Negroes today have inherited so much, God is my judge. These privileges you now enjoy were not handed down from the sky. Somebody paid for them. Glorious privileges. Somebody paid for them. A Widow's Child. I am a child of a widow. My father died when I was nine months old. No one has had more privations and sufferings than I have had. I have been away from you for twenty-five years. I have been all over the world. Temptations that tended to drag me down have held me up. Memories of that sainted mother seemed to be holding me. These blessed national privileges we have, somebody paid for them. And in this matter of salvation, though it is free, Jesus has paid it all. There was a noticeable commotion at the conclusion. Crowds thronged the edifice at 3 P. M. and at 8 P. M. The Baptist divine had aroused the congregation of the Second Baptist Church and other churches of this city. DO YOU KNOW THEM? Lachawanna, N. Y., May 6, 1928. Police Headquarters, Richmond, Va.

MINISTER'S CONFERENCE ENJOYS A GREAT SESSION The Ministers' Conference of Richmond and vicinity continues to enjoy one of the best years in its history. The Baptist ministers seem to have found a new interest in the conference, and each Monday finds them looking forward to an uplifting and inspiring hour at Ebenezer Baptist Church, where the conference sessions are held. On last Monday Dr. W. H. Moses, corresponding secretary of the National Baptist Convention, delivered an address which was, perhaps, the most forceful and helpful of the willful addresses delivered before the body this evening. The address was a revelation as touching the teachings of Christ, and every minister who heard it left the conference inspired. Because of the inspiration resulting from Dr. Moses' effort we expect the Baptist pulpits of the city will ring on Sunday with a new note. Brother Joseph Burks, of Portsmouth, Va., a gospel singer of no mean ability, rendered several selections in which the brethren joined with spirit. It was indeed a great meeting. The Holy Spirit was there, as well as brotherly love, and Christian fellowship. Because of this fine fellowship, we again urge the brethren who are not in the habit of doing so to attend the conference. The conference offers the minister that which he finds need for in his work. There is something resulting from its meetings that puts joy in the salvation we preach. In no small measure the inspirational aspect of our conference is due to the leadership of our president, Rev. J. E. Fountain, who for many years was vice-president under Dr. Emma Payne. The wisdom, tact, and many disposition of Rev. Fountain serve to prevent friction, smooth out the wrinkles of misunderstanding and make the men who come feel they are welcome. Y. W. C. A. NOTES The Phyllis Wheleyt Branch, Y. W. C.

MICHAEL TALKS Tells Whole Planet's Rep Was Near Death Philadelphia New York (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Michael Lewis, a colored man hailing from New York, was badly wounded when he attempted to enter a white man's residence here, and much speculation ensued as a result of his nocturnal visit. He would not talk to the police. His life was despaired of in St. Philips' Hospital, but he recovered sufficiently to permit his removal to the hospital in the city jail. It was there I saw him, Wednesday. Ushered In The matron ushered me into his room. With him was another pris- DEAD SIX WEEKS The Tragic End of Lizzie Taylor. Found 102 E. Main Street.

CObbs Pastor of Mount Calvary Baptist Church. Rev. Cobbs subject was "Live Forever" and was based on dual texts found in H Samuel 20:42 and Ruth 1:17. It was a splendid dissertation on the three links of Odd Fellowship, Friendship, Love and Truth. The profundity of thought, the high tene of its ethical teachings and the mastery delivery were the subject of much favorable comment. FUNERAL DIRECTOR SCOTT'S PURCHASE Funeral Director Robert C. Scott, in order to meet the demands of his increasing business, has just purchased one of the expensive Heney three-way loading coaches (hearse). It may be loaded from the rear in the ordinary manner, from either the right or left side by using a light, heavily nickelized casket table with a new casket locking devise, which can be shifted so as to extend from either side of the coach, after which the heaviest casket can be placed in position by one attendant.

He has a slight sandy moustache. His statement was made in a direct manner implying that he was telling the truth. A Strange Story. His companion knew about me, Continued on page 8. HE NEVER SAID A WORD An amusing case was called in the Police Court last Tuesday morning. "Ned Beasley, Ned Beasley" called the stentorian voice of Bailliff "Pop" Tate. There was no response. Then Deputy "Mel" Folkes looked in the "pen", "He's asleep," he said to Judge Ingram. He was aroused and brought out, an object of drunken woe. He nodded to His Honor. "Drunk?!" He nodded again and then turned around and walked back into the "pen" again, where he stretched out and a moment later was profoundly asleep again. There was no laughter in the court room, but there was a smile on every countenance. 201 S. Meadow Street was given as this white citizen's address and his age was entered as 75 years.

DIED IN SOLITUDE AND POVERTY (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Lizzie Taylor, colored woman, of light brown complexion, was frequently seen at the Second Market, usually at Mr. D. A. Weinbrunn's store, near Fifth and Marshall Streets. She was deeply religious and always greeted Editor John Mitchell, Jr., with the expression "Keep on praying. Trust the Lord." She was aged but active. She failed to put in appearance in that neighborhood recently and had not been seen since April 1st. This led Mrs. Annie Weinbrunn to make enquiries as to her whereabouts. She learned that she lived on Main Street. The number given was wrong and she could not find her Friday, May 11th. However, she learned that the correct number was 102 E. Main Street. In company with Mrs. R. H. Walton, another white friend, who had employed Lizzie, and accompanied by the police, who broke in the door in the basement, Saturday, May 12th, there was Lizzie Taylor or what remained of her on the bed, fully clothed. She had evidently been dead for several weeks. The odor from the decomposing body was stifling. Rats had eaten away all of the flesh on one hand and the arm to the elbow. Part of her face had been similarly eaten. White friends defrayed the expense of the funeral and Lizzie Taylor's remains now rest in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, while her spirit has gone to the God who gave it. Still her injunction might well be heeded. She practiced what she preached and even though chilled by death, eaten by rats and wasted away by worms, she had left her instructions which in itself formed a prayer, "Keep on praying." Going to the house last Sunday morning, en route to the Second Baptist Church, we paused in front of 102 E. Main Street. Two smiling white girls asked us in reply to our queries, if we were going down in the basement, and they warned us not to do so on account of the horrible odor. We accepted the hint and as we passed on down First Street the reverberations of that old woman's voice followed us: "Keep on praying." WHO CAN AFFORD IT? Can anyone afford to be absent from the City Auditorium, Sunday night, May 20th, 8 P. M.'

BEET SUGAR TABLE-BOUND CHICAGO—Sugar, which the average American consumes at the rate of about 100 pounds a year sold for $2.75 a pound when it was first introduced as a household food, attested by Queen Elizabeth in 1892, according to Stephen H. Love, president of the U. S. Beet Sugar Association in an address here. "Only nobles of great wealth could afford the luxury of sugar when England's virgin queen served it on her royal cable," said Mr. Love. "Prior to that time sugar was generally regarded as a medicine and its distribution was largely in the hands of apothecaries. The art of red sugar in the nineteenth century was discontinued in the fourteenth century although crystallized sugar was known in Rome as early as 300 A D. "Four hundred years elapsed from the time the art of refining cane sugar was discovered until it became a general article of diet. Up to the nineteenth century the world obtained its sugar supply solely from the cane of the tropics. The first set of sugar canes was obtained through the cultivation of sugar from the cane described in 1740.

Smith, of New York, for President by the National Democratic Convention at Houston, Texas, next month is now generally conceded by all people, save the extremists of the Senator J. Thomas Hefflin type. It is presumed that he will make a good showing and that his "star of Destiny" may land him in the White House of the nation. Already, the opposition is rearranging its lines to meet this peculiar situation. The Tammany Hall managers have proven that the astuteness in politics is not confined to the Empire State. The only weakness in it all is that the strenuous exertion in securing the nomination of their candidate may result in an unforeseen exhaustion when it comes to the election. Unless all signs fail, the Republicans propose to put forward a candidate, whose Republicanism is his least asset. He is not objectionable to conservative Democrats and he has no record to arouse the antipathies of the bourbon element of the same party. His superb handling of the Mississippi flood situation, followed by the passing of a relief measure of approximately three hundred and twenty-seven million dollars, with much more to follow is a counter play by the Republican strategists, who propose to outdo the Tammany slogan for Gov. Smith,—he can carry New York. It is reasonable to presume that the loss of New York State to the Republicans will be offset by the carrying by the Republicans of several border Southern States and Hon. Herbert C. Hoover appears to be the man to do it. So far as Hon. Alfred E. Smith of New York is concerned, it is admitted that he will poll a large colored vote, thousands of colored people admire him. On the other hand there has been no "Lily-white" attitude on the part of Hon. Herbert C. Hoover and there is no just reason, why they should oppose him. Certain it is, he occupies the position of vantage. The Prohibitionists are openly antagonistic to Smith and the reformers of the country are bitterly opposed to his luggage carriers and managers from Tacoma Hall. The only consolation the average Democrat has in the premises is found in the fact that he is the strongest candidate now appearing to view upon their political horizon. He may win and no other member of that party has either a hope or a chance to do the same thing. So, "There ye aire." Selah. MOSQUE THEATRE OFFERINGS. Gilbert & Sullivan's Famous Opera Company Coming. The programme this week at the Mosque Theatre has been enthusiastically received by large audience. Jack Dinkin, in his "Dancin' round", scored heavily. He featured Olga & Mishka Co., direct from "Artists and Models." Moran & Wiser, late stars of "Broadway Browties", added materially to the attractions, while the Dooley Twins astonished and delighted the happy throng present to greet them. The Mosque "Mad Dancers" were unique and pleasing, while the Richmondount on the stage demonstrated conclusively, the remarkable skill shown by those who trained them. The Pathe presentation of "The Blue Danube", an Austrian play, was both historical and thrilling. The great Gilbert & Sullian Operas, under the joint management of the News-Leader and the Mosque Theatre, is the subject of much speculation. The seats have gone on sale with a rush. "Iolanthe," the "Pirates of Penzance," and the "Mikado," are operas with a worldwide reputation and significance. Despite the heavy demands of white patrons a limited number of beats have been reserved for col- Golden Brown HAIR DRESSING GOLDEN BROWN CHEMICAL CO.

This unique attraction will be staged the week commencing May 28th. The influence of influential white people has brought about arrangements which will add to the comfort of those colored folks who elect to see this great company perform. The Cherry street entrance has been supplemented by arrangements on Laurel street through the newly designated Mosque Court. Efforts are being redoubled with a view to having this new inlet to the theatre from Laurel street (front of the Mosque Theatre) paved, rebuilt and additionally lighted by the time this great attraction is staged. The new managing director, Mr. 3 M. A. Baker, is tireless in his efforts to secure added famous attractions for this palatial playhouse and to make it the greatest asset the southern section of the country has ever had along theatrical lines. 9 The seating arrangements are admittedly the best ever provided for colored people in this section of the country.

These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel.

C. Cox, president of the Columbia Phonograph Company, announced today that Paul Whiteman, the world's most famous orchestra leader, exponent of the impressionistic in music, known to millions of record buyers and radio listeners, has just signed an exclusive contract with the Columbia Phonograph Company, for a long term of years, at a figure that sets a new high in a field already accustomed to staggering figures. Whiteman thus joins the distinguished company of such exclusive Columbia Record orchestras as those of Ted Lewis, Paul Ash, Leo Reisman, Ben Selvin, Jan Garber, and many other exclusive Columbia artists, among them Moran and Mack, "The Two Black Crows". Shacks—And A OUTLAW TRADING POST Ben Butts and the Winner branch of his South Dakota trading shacks which have made him a millionaire. He is a self-styled "outlaw" and carring on his business as the Ogilvy Trading Post. He began as a paw of all work, then started peddling, and opened a trading shock on $134 he had earned. His shades are open eighteen hours a day. They sell anything from a hamburger to a steak, he has five branches. For his premiere as Columbia artist, Columbia releases the following interesting review of the career of this most famous of American dance leaders: To know Paul Whiteman is to understand at last the phenomenon of American jazz. Whiteman did not invent jazz—he specifically disclaims that—but he was the first to write an orchestral score for jazz, and, from its inception, some ten years ago, right through to the present, he has been its acknowledged chief exponent all over the world. To know Whiteman is to understand why. Never was there a clearer vision of what it's all about, never did anyone believe more intelligently in his work, never was there a pleasant combination of modesty and humor in a music master of his superlative rank. Whiteman is pure American, like his art.

Boxing two and a half years, each of his ten opponents kindly became unconscious in four rounds or less. This descendant of Roman gladiators, Umberto Torrino, is artistic, sings, plays several musical instruments and could lecture on Verdi. He seems to be the natural, physical and mental opponent for Tunney. Torrino could interest local talent by offering to revive the old Roman boxing with the costus, a glove of heavy thongs loaded with iron or bronze, making it unnecessary for the referee to count. The McNary-Haugen bill is enthusiastically passed by the Senate. There are elections coming. The House will pass it also, many that vote for it counting on the President's veto to counteract their vote. That the President will veto the bill is probable and that it will be passed over his veto is probable. According to wise men, some "best minde," far removed from farming, now approve the bill. Anything to make the farmers more prosperous would be welcome, but the so-called "farmers bill" may surprise farmers when understood. --- According to wise oyes, the Government would tell packers at what price they must buy hogs, and tell flour men at what price they must buy wheat.

Many of the smartest and most exclusive shops are showing these crystal trees for console and dining table decorations. The colors are charming—crystal clear or vivid amarald green bright red amethyst and sapphire that catch and reflect the light. They are exquisitely dainty and oh so fragile and very expensive. But fortunately with a little time and practice and a few simple materials you can make crystal trees of sealing wax—trees that rival the crystal glass trees in beauty of color and design. To fashion anything so lovely as the trees illustrated you might think that it would be necessary to have all sorts of elaborate tools and other equipment, but this is not the case all that you need is a small alcohol lamp a supply of denatured alcohol in pair of scissors, a small painter's knife and a wax moulder. And for actual materials you will need sealing wax, crepe paper, wire of several different weights, small crystal glass beads and tricetain. WISTERIA TREE—To make the Wisteria Tree, you will need the following materials: 2 Spools No. 6 annealed wire 1 Spool No. 1 white wire 1 Dosen No. 10 wire 6 pieces No. 7 wire 15 pieces No. 15 wire 2 sticks of wax in each of following oatmeal lilie, violet, royal nutmeg, vanilla 4 sticks of light transparent amber 4 sticks of gold boughs 1 bunch of yellow crystal beads Paste FLOWERS—Let the wire spring off a spool of annealed wire and with the scissors make one cut through all loops. This gives a number of pieces about 3/4 inches long. Heat the end of a stick of violet wax and when it is very soft cut off about 4/8 inch with the scissors. Let the wax drop on a piece of glass and while it is still soft press the end of a piece of wire into it with the thumb.

There is an equalization plan of doubtful value. Another feature of the bill would be complicated bookkeeping and inspection, involving gigantic armies of additional public servants. When a packer buys a pig he changes it into scores of products. He would report profits and losses to the Government, and the Government would have to investigate every detail. The prospect of Government price-fixing, with guarantees and inflation, worries some men that think. --- Racing on the sand at Daytona Beach, on his Black Hawk Special speed car, going more than 200 miles an hour, Frank Lockhart blew out a rear tire.

The air, not the ground, is the place for speeding. President Coolidge will give medals to skiers—three recently arrived, the Frenchmen, Cosses and Lebrix, and the able Italian the Marquis de Pinedo. He might add one medal for Miss Jinkers, daughter of the man that made the westward flying airplane, responsible for the trip's success.
