STOKES SCORES HEAVILY Shepherds Stage Scenic Parade--Three Bands and a Drum Corp--New Building Dedicated VOLUME XLV, NO. 46 MRS. O A GREAT Shepherds St Drum (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Mrs. Ora B. Stokes, Grand Shepherd of the improved Order of Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem, who has brought about a new era in the history of this influential Order since she was elevated to be its chief official, staged one of the most remarkable demonstrations here last week that has ever been seen in this city. She was powerfully assisted by the Grand Secretary-Treasurer, A. C. Clark, who has occupied his present position for about fourteen years and is acquainted with every detail of the work. The peculiar significance of the meeting here was the purchase of the present improved site for the Order at the northwest corner of Sixth and Leigh Streets. A Double Purchase. After the purchase of the original structure, owing to the foresight of Mrs. Stokes, the adjoining building was purchased so that now the brick buildings, all under one roof, contain thirty rooms. The offices of the Order are now housed there and the decorations attracted the public as the Uniform Rank in all of its glory paraded from this point to other parts of the city. The Grand Fold convened Tuesday, September 11, 1928, in the Leigh Street Memorial Methodist Church, Fifth and Leigh Streets, Rev. R. M. Williams, pastor, at 10 A. M. Routine business was transacted, after which the roster of the folds was called. Mrs. Stokes Fine Address. An able address was delivered by Mr. B. A. Ruffin, president of the International Body of Lions. The Committee on Credentials made its report, which was approved. A recess for dinner followed. The body reconvened at 2:30 P. M. The feature of this session was the very able and exhaustive address of Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, the Grand Shepherd. She reviewed the work of the Order and made important recommendations, all of which were approved. She aroused unbounded enthusiasm as she told of the many MRS. ORA BROWN STOKES struggles and signal successes of herself and associates in their efforts to advance the Order of the Shepherds. Much Information. After this address, which was replete with important and valuable information to members of the Order, the body recessed to go over to the recently purchased buildings and hold Consecration Services. The devotional exercises were conducted by the Grand Chaplain, Rev. C. A. Cobbs, pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, assisted by Rev. A. Daly, pastor of the Fifth Baptist Church. The consecration prayer was feeling delivered by Rev. S. J. Ellis, Dilwyn, Va. A feature of this affair was the impressive presentation of the keys to the building by Secretary-Treasurer A. C. Clark, to Grand Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes. The Keys Delivered. She lent additional color to these impressive services by her well delivered and oratorial address of acceptance of these keys. The large gathering of members of the Order and the public were visibly affected by the scene. During all of this time, the adjacent streets in the neighborhood were packed with a mass of humanity, while the men A MRS. ORA BROWN STOKES, Grand Presiding Shepherd. THE SHEPHERD'S BAND, Prof. B. en Prosser, Director, Richmond Va. bers of the Uniform Rank, wearing their showy costumes and adornments added a wealth of color to the scene. Couple with this the mellifluent notes of sweet music floating out upon the air from the band, which was impatiently waiting to head the parade, in which three bands and a drum corp subsequently participated, and you have a faint idea of the beginning of one of the most colorful and impressive parades ever staged by a fraternal order here. Rev. Dias Concludes Exercises. Rev. R. A. Dias, the popular divine from Goura, Va., delivered the impressive benediction, which deeply affected all, after which the order to move was given by Commissioner R. C. Mitchell. It was indeed a strange sight. The line of march had been previously announced and published. Crowds had lined this route for nearly and hour, but the start was delayed. It served though to add to the beauty of the parade, as night came on and this marching phalanx of male and female wear- RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1928 ing their gorgeous but beautiful uniforms were outlined to the thousands of observers by colored lights which were burned until the marching crowd returned to the point of beginning. The Fine Parade. The women were the objects of many compliments. They marched with the regularity of veterans. They wore green capes, lined with resplendent gold, green caps trimmed with gold, and snow white dresses. They were officered, too, by women, and their military carriage and bearing caused astonishment by all beholders. Many of our white citizens were outspoken in complimenting them and the Order. Throughout all of this, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, who had apparently with a mystifying wand of organizing ability brought all of this about rode in her new automobile, the gift of her husband, surrounded by her cabinet. Mrs. Stokes Happy. She was evidently sublimely happy and pleased at the showing made by her well-trained followers. A noticeable feature too was a broadcaster in one of the cars, who told the people along the route what would take place and the nature of further attractions. Rev, Dr. W. L. Ransom, delivered the annual sermon Tuesday night at the Ebenezer Baptist Church. Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes presided with becoming grace and dignity. Music was furnished by a quartet from Norfolk. Prof. J. H. Blackwell delivered the welcome address, which was responded to by Miss F. E. Kemp, of Philadelphia. A Great Sermon. Rev. Dr. Ransom's sermon was one of the ablest he has ever delivered in this city and it made a profound impression. Wednesday morning the Grand Fold reconvened in the Leigh Street Memorial Methodist Church, with Grand Shepherd, Mrs. A. C. Clark, secretary. The Deputies' Conference was held and Memorial Exercises took place. Grand Secretary, A. C. Clark, made a detailed report. The body recessed for dinner. In the after-attendance at 3 P. M., Grand Officers and Board Members were elected, or rather re-elected, as no changes were made in the personnel. An excellent report was made by Grand Legal Advisor, C. A. McKenzie. The Biennial Session A resolution was adopted providing for biennial sessions, that is the Grand Fold will meet once every two years instead of every year. The next session will be held in Baltimore, Md., in 1930. (Continued on page 8) VIRGINIA UNION UNIVERSITY CAMPAIGN The Virginia Union University Campaign will start September 24, 1928.

Reindeer met in grand session in the city of Baltimore, Md., September 9th to 12th, inclusively.

Grant, John Fulford, Charles Dudley, Nathaniel Roy, Grand Deputy Richetta Price, Queen Rebecca Harris, a fleet of two dozen cars carrying Traveling Club and friends and a Gray Line bus carrying the Richmond Lodge band.

The Tuckahoe Baptist Association of Virginia, with its Woman's Auxiliary, convened in its Thirty-fourth Annual Session, September 12th-14th, with First Union Church of Goochland, Rev. W. A. Brown, pastor. The meeting was harmonious and largely attended. The sermons were preached by Rev. W. D. White, Rev. O. C. Perkins, Rev. S. Jones and Rev. I. H. Hines. The delegates were loud in praise for the hospitality of pastor and people. Dr. W. J. Clarke, president Virginia Union University, delivered a strong address following which the association voted unanimously to put on a drive to raise $500.00 to furnish two rooms in the new girl's dormitory. Rev. D. J. Bradford was selected to direct the drive because of the success of the drive he directed last autumn, which netted the school $350.73. Mrs. Ollie B. Courtney, president of the Auxiliary, was selected to assist in this drive, which will close the first Sunday in December. Thursday was high day in attendance. Dr. W. H. Skipwith delighted the large crowd with songs. After the sermon at the evening session, Dr. W. W. Hill spoke of the State Sunday School work. Rev. Robinson told of the Christian work in Philadelphia, and Rev. Bradford made report from the Baptist World Alliance, which he attended in Toronto, Canada, last June. Rev. Joseph Arrington read the report for the Executive Board, which showed the home for Super-annuates to be in good condition. Rev. S. P. Robinson is now pastoring in the City of Brotherly Love, and therefore retired as Moderator, and was voted a gold medal for faithful service. The following officers were elected: Rev. J. E.

HILL ERE Sermon. onged----Mod- sents Divine (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) I had promised to attend the services at the Second Baptist Church last Sunday morning. As I was walking down Third Street, I met a citizen coming away from there. He remarked that there was no chance to get a seat there. I smiled and proceeded on my way after enquiring if preaching had begun. He replied in the negative, I pressed my way through the crowd, although I had uneasily scanned the large number of automobiles on the outside of the structure. Deacon Armisead Washington was looking serious, out happy, while Deacon John T. Taylor had a quiet expression of satisfaction, and Moderator E. F. Johnson radiated happiness. The latter had the job of presenting the pastor and right well, did, he perform the service. SURPASSING LOVELINESS. As for me, they had me there to write and I performed the task. Let us see. The rostrum was decorated with flowers and palms and evergreens artistically arranged. Back of the pulpit in the choir gallery, a stream of malolyd poured forth, to the satisfaction of the audience. Looking over the church from this point was a scene of surpassing loveliness. It was a sympathetic congregation, which sympathy served to give inspiration to the speaker. I had known this church during its palmy days and it reminded one of that time, when those Christian melodies drowned even the noise of the R. F. and P. trains as they passed through the Byrd Street tunnel on the tracks just in front of this famous structure. HAD COME AS PASTOR Deacon John T. Taylor announced the collection for the Sunday preceding as being $127.72. Moderator E. F. Johnson presented the pastor, Hymn 531. "In All My Lord's Appointed Ways, My Journey I'll Purse" was sung. Rev. Joseph T. Hill, D. D. said: "I come now as your called and chosen shepherd. I shall proceed not your way, but God's way according (Continued on page 4) Gaines Speaks at the Third M. E.

Reid Uncle Sam - "LET'S SEE, I WONDER IF I HAVE EVERYTHING?" SCORE BOARD MOVING BALL Albert T. Reid AUTOCASTER International Sunday School Lesson for September 30 The REVIEW of Emotional Reading Philippians 4:19, 19 By Reed. By Reed. Pause is given during a six months course on the life of Paul to relate the lessons of the first quarter. From the vantage point of a review lesson you can fix the general events in your mind after having studied each lesson in detail. Begin-by reading from Acts 6 through chapter 16. There will be decided advantage in having a map before you or in drawing your own outline map, indicating each place named and tracing a journey line connecting the various cities in the three itineraries. Keep in mind that the Sunday School is a school and the best possible equipment should be at hand to help in the teaching process. Since many are irregular in their attendance at the Sunday School during the summer the utmost should be made of this particular review lesson. Effective lives do not just happen. There must be a possibility of development and then a training that is made the most of. Saul of Tarsus, in Cilicia, was such a man. He knew the synagogue and special teachers of repute contribute their full part to his success. The Jewish had received more careful instructions in the Law, much of which he mentioned before to the sect of the Pharisees and monarch. His observance of all the requirements, both in the Law and the added teachings. He was specially privileged in being a Roman citizen by birth-age. A newer to be forgotten impression came in his contact with Stephen, a Christian in Jerusalem, whom he helped to persecute unto death. In doing this and in persecuting other believers in Jesus Christ Paul thought he was doing right but learned that he was absolutely wrong at the time of his conversion, which occurred near Damascus whither he went to harass the new Christian community there. The explanation for the new man, or Paul, as he was later called, is the vision of the Christ and his response thereto. A changed life evidenced the new birth. Being a Christian carries with it the obligation to impart the savings truths to, others. Soon Paul and Barnabas were set apart by the Holy Spirit for the first missionary journey which took them through Cyprus and into the highlands of Asia Minor. There were many successes and also countless sufferings, some of which are catalogued in II Cor. 7:24-28. Repeatedly his persecutors thought he was dead from stoning but by a miracle he would rise up and go forward in his mission. Very important principles of procedure were settled at the Jerusalem Church in D. 50. Soon thereafter Paul joined with Silas and Timothy in making the second journey, while Barnabas and Mark returned to Cyprus. At Troas Paul accepted the message in a vision which summoned him to begin Gospel work in Europe. Then came Philippi, Athens and Corinth in turn. No matter what the problem might be Paul sought to go forward in his service, just as any real engineer faces his situation and meets it. The many churches that Paul established and then nurtured have long since ceased to exist but the influence from the many letters that he wrote to some of these churches continues, for we have the thirteen epistles which teach, exhort and encourage. They meet the daily needs of humanity today as well as those who lived 1900 years ago.

Muskettunge and the Lure Motorists A STRIKE Our native American red men used their superstitions and their religion up in the same package, as do many other peoples, and the result was that their beliefs kept them in a stew and a sweat all the days of their lives. These facts are shown in a bulletin issued by the American Research Foundation. "When we go touring in our motor cars," says the bulletin, "we ought to know more of our legends and history. It would add to our pleasures.

We have read with much interest the reply of Hon. Robert R. Church in response to the attack made upon him through the columns of that widely read journal, the Pittsburgh Courter and while we regret much this outburst, which can not do the cause of Republicanism any good among citizens of color, but which may result in much harm, it would not be out of place to coolly consider the statements of Mr. Church and to dispassionately find out whether or not there is any basis for his caustic criticisms. He said: "I have seen the article in the Courier, written I am informed by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, before the Courier representative brought it to me. It is a document of a kind familiar to all who know the fine African hand of its industrious but elusive author. For thirty years his brick bask has been hurled from behind the coat-tails of protectors. Did Mr. Scott write the article in question and does that brilliant and distinguished gentleman deny having done so? Did he make the mistake of fomenting strife among the colored Republican leaders and did he indulge in the pastime of firing upon Mr. Church from behind a masked battery instead of attacking and criticizing him in the open? Mr. Church believes that he did and so sure is he of this that he indulges in an outspoken criticism and depriction of Mr. Scott. There is this difference. He says what he has to say openly and above board and makes no concealment of his identity for he gives his name. He fights fairly and asks no favors. This is a commendable trait and we are loth to believe that the distinguished Texan, whom he so merely criticizes is chargeable with a different method of warfare. What Dr. Dr. may think of me or my reason for withdrawing from the hand-wrought "Committee" now directing and distressing Mr. Hoover's cause is without importance and will no. I feel, supplant the record I have made in an effort to advance our lines on the political field. I have never held an office except through election by the people. Dr. Scott never held an office at all, and such positions as he has filled came from kind hearts unable to turn a deaf ear to his cry. "Whether Dr. Scott continues to operate Howard University or run good Dr. Hawkins or frock coat diplomatic receptions as Minister to Haiti, is not the slightest concern to me. My interest in the present sit-out on is exactly my interest in Mr. Hoover as our candidate and in the Republican party whose fortunes have long been mine. I got off the committee, not because I had been refused a leadership for which no man can say I ever applied. (and which no man can bestow upon another) but because I could not in consequence associate myself with political parasites and pretenders. Mr. Church says further: To the charge that I am not a good follower, I plead guilty if I am asked to follow to the ballot box men who have no ballot to cast and who have not the moral courage to attempt to cast one or cry out against the crime of disfranchisement in their States. MEN WHO FIGHT DONT FLOW THOSE WHO RUN. There is not a colored Republican voter whom I would fall to follow or support if called to his standard. There is not a colored political apologist I would follow not even at the request of Mr. However unless he was leading a procession to the public square, there to receive the condemnation of an outraged people The above is an emphatic declaration. It reminds us of the ringing utterances of the Hon. Frederick Douglass. Hon. John Mercer Langston. Hon. William A. Pledger. Hon John R. Lynch. Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson and many other colored leaders dead and gone and of the position of many others, who are yet alive. They put principle above Party and racial interests above all else save the religion of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. For our part, we were a great admirer of the late Henry Lincoln Johnson and we subscribe fully to all that is said in commendation of him. Mr. Church continues: "Another point, that is too scandalous to be ignored, I touch. Dr. Scott brought in the name of the late Henry Lincoln Johnson, referring to him as my associate in party strugges, and linking his great name with gentlemen of the present political arrangement, there we have sin at war with absurdity. Mr. Johnson one of the great men in all history of great men should be spared a comparison so odious. His memory should be more sacred than that. To mention the names of Dr. Hawkins, Dr. Scott and Dr. Holsey in the same breath with that of 'Link' Johnson is a challenge to the patience of honest men. "Mr. Johnson was a leader, a great lawyer and a voter. He was Republican National Committeeman at the time of his death and under the laws of Georgia he could not have been unless he was a registered voter. No year passed without his return to Georgia to register as a voter and keep his citizenship clear. Mr. Church concludes as follows "NEITHER DR. HAWKINS HAS RETURNED TO NORTH CAROLINA DR. SCOTT TO TEXAS. NOR DR. HOLESEY TO THE COURT HOUSE IN EITHER GEORGIA OR ALABAMA TO REGISTER HIS CITIZENSHIP AND PLAY THE FULL MAN. "The main point must not be lost sight of. I stated that I retired from the committee because, first, I wanted Mr. Hoover elected, and second, because those in front of the voters were themselves not voters. I STILL WANT MR. HOOVER ELECTED AND THE GENTLEMEN ARE STILL WITHOUT A VOTE." Can Hon. John R. Hawkins refute these emphatic statements? Is it true that both of the leaders are without the necessary qualifications to enable them to command a political army without a suspension of the rules governing in such matters? Can any one properly name non-voters to lead a battalion of voters without the consent of the voters, whom they are to lead? This is rather late "in the season" to raise this question, but as the election draws nearer, it will reverberate more and more and tend to increase the number of colored recruits for the Smith and Robinson army. During the presidency of Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, he raised a question about "swivel chair" officers. brigadier generals, who had never seen service in a brigade and colonels, who had never experienced contact with a regiment. He issued his famous "horseback riding" order and required them to take those forty mile hikes to fit them for service. Those, who came back after their first experience found that it took many weeks for them to again occupy a swivel chair. As a matter of fact, many of them slept face downward for many days after wards. We take it that "Bob" Church regards these gentlemen as volunteer forces from the States and as not being connected with the regular United States Army. You can get a regular army captain to accept service under a regular army officer, but you cannot get him to serve under the volunteer officer of the State militia. Hon. Herbert Work should know this. Hon. John R. Hawkins should realize it and Hon. Emmett J. Scott should recognize existing conditions and all should govern themselves accordingly. Mr. Scott, from a diplomatic and official viewpoint is one of the most distinguished citizens of color in this country. Mr. Hawkins occupies the highest rank among his own church's representatives. This makes it all the more inexplainable how either the one or the other should attempt to go into a political battle, unshod and unarmed with the badge of voting citizenship. We do not know an active politician in the country, be he white or black, who would not stab him through this rent in his political armor. It may be that nothing can be done about it at this stage of the contest. Let us hope that something can be done. Listen! Skinny Folks Why Not Put On Flesh Where Flesh Is Needed?

Hill Here. to my understanding. I feel heavy at heart, because of the many friends I left behind. My heart was almost to the breaking point when I preached my farewell sermon last Sunday night. I come fully endowed with western motives and western ideas. My rate is a mile a minute. "Jui us Caesar was once travelling incognito. The boatman who was to carry him over hesitated to do so because of the storm. He said to him, 'truck up your courage, my man; the man you carry is Caesar'. The man plucked up his courage and carried his passenger safely across. Caesar and Paul felt that they were men of destiny, that their lives would not be snuffed out until their work had been accomplished. All leaders in a greater or lesser degree should have that feeling. I feel in no boasting sense that I have come to you as a man of destiny. I feel that God has put his hands on me and brought me here. GOD'S ANOINTED. "I want you to cast your eyes on me, I want you to feel that I am God's anointed. I call your attention to Acts 27:31, 'Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers. Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved'". The Apostle Paul had been arrested and tried. He felt that his trial had been unjust. He said, 'I appeal to Caesar'. Paul is on his way to Rome. He scents signs of danger. He was not a sailor. That hunter advisor made him scent the storm. He said, 'Sr. I perceive great danger in leaving this port. Let us wait here'. The wind began to lessen. Orders were given to the sailors to weigh anchor, not heeding the advice of the young preacher. "The seas were rolling, the waves crashing, the ship cracking and being torn to pieces. The skies were the scene of the lightning, the roll of shudder. Then they looked on, each at the other. The ship was out of control. They were glad to hand the ship over to the preacher. Every man on the boat had a fearful fright upon his features. Only one man was at ease and that was Paul, the preacher. And he was so because an angel stood by him. I will not fear. We are going to lose the ship, will lose the cargo, but every man shall be saved. Paul had a job in Rome and the sea was not large enough to contain it. A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN. "I bring simplicity, a simple heartfeeling message I may not come your way, but I have come with a message from heaven. That south wind that made the captain and officers disregard the preacher is a dangerous wind. Storms, disappointments, sickness and trials have been the means of bringing us closer to God. But when the south wind of luxury, pleasure, plenty blows, it causes us to disregard the advice of the preacher. The young women are too shallow when it comes to things spiritual. That death bed may be right around the corner that incurable disease may be right around the corner. COULD NOT FOOL PAUL "There will come a time, when you will feel the need of God's saints. Those sailors let down the plum and found out how many fathoms they were from shore. They fooled the officers. They fooled everybody on the boat, but Paul. You are trying to go away in a life-boat. You are trying to let down anchor. I am your preacher. I am your pastor. I am going to see your hand before you take it out of your pocket. You can't fool your preacher. There is an angel that stands by him. You can't fool your preacher. I am not here to go. I am here to stay. A SEARCHER OF HEARTS. "I shall know your names and I shall know your faces; and I shall know your hearts. I shall know whether or not you have an axe to grind. I have been out West, where I have had to use both eyes, my natural eyes and my spiritual eyes. Don't try to leave the ship. Except ye abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. Who wore the men? They were the sailors. They were men qualified to handle the ship. There are five conditions: economic, health intellectual, social religious or spiritual conditions. All have outstanding exponents. CHURCHES ON THE WANE. "The Church of Christ. All of the old churches are on the wane. Why? I don't know what would have happened to Paul had the sailors left the ship. Not a man was lost. The Church has excommunicated men who are unfitted for the work. Many have gotten out. I come among you to let you know that you are peculiarly fitted for this work. Stay in your church and ply your trade. I have been away from here since 1903—25 years. I find the churches doing the same that they were doing when I was here—singing and praying. That is all right, but it is not enough. Health. Why don't we have a nursery to look after our children? A clinic to look after our indigent poor? We have relegated all of this to the outside, while the church has naught else to do but to sing and pray. LAID THE FOUNDATION. "Jesus Christ, laid the foundation for all of these things. It is indicated when He took that clay, spat on it to heal the sick. Our professional men must come back to the church. (He paid a glowing tribute to Dr. Miles B. Jones' work in the Sunday School). I have come to give everybody a job in God's cause. There is a great breach between upstairs and downstairs. Why? Because the intellect down-stairs felt so big that they did not want to come in contact with the ignorance upstairs, and maybe the experience upstairs does RUBENS PAINT & GLASS CO.

He made a touching reference to his own mother, who could not read. "We got our education because of the labor of our mothers in the soap suds in the wash-tub.

There will be a wonderful evalsence. You have an intelligent man in the pulit. CAN LEARN FROM IGNORANT. "You have one who knows that an ignorant person can teach him something." He told the story of his tying his shoe when he was a boy. When his mother attempted to show him how to tie it, he insisted that he knew how to do it. She said to him gently, "Son, let me show you how to tie it and then you will know two ways how to tie the shoe." He never forgot the moral effect of that gentle rebuke. "Listen to your parents' advice. Let us have a contact here, a cultural contact. I was down to the depot before I left Arkansas. There were nine coaches of white people and one coach of colored people. A NOISY PEOPLE. "That one coach of colored people made more noise than all of the nine coaches or white people."

Dr. Hill would exclaim, "Talk back to me." "The apostle disputed with the scientific sailor. He disputed with the centurion. He disputed with the captain. Yet there was a land-bubber a preacher disputing with them about sailing. It was because an angel stood by him. DISPUTING CHURCH HISTORY. "Geology is disputing the church history. Some preachers cannot cross. They are halting on account of science. Even though the school teaches heresy, an angel makes me declare that I am right, that I believe in God.

Dr. Lewis McMillan of the Baltimore Afro-American to stand up, and he introduced him to the congregation.

R., was ested September Lith in connee- on with the biggest pass seandal ever uncovered in Richmond. In one eal $1,000 was paid for passes. He was charged with violating the Fed- ral statute of issuing passes to per- sons not entitled to use them. It is alleged that this practice has been roing on for years. The specific ease was that of the session of Grand Lodge of I, B. P. 0. of Elks of the World, which met recently at Chi- cago. Tt was necessaty to add another coach on account of the crowd, and the conductor found only five regu- Jar tickets in the entire coach. Names were furnished and these persons were entered up as “rev.” and for “charity.” These passes are said to have been purchased for about $20 each or less than half of the regular fare to the Grand Lodge. Those per- sons who sold these passes and those who purchased them are now under the surveillance of the Federal of- ficers. Chapman is in jail and his bond is $5,000. One female has been ar- rested. Her bond is $2,000. Rev. James S. Hatcher, of Roanoke, was also arrested, and he was released on a bond of $2,000. They were all required to appear at the October term of the grand jury of the United States District Court here. The C, & 0. people announce that they will proceed in the matter after the Fed- eral authorities are through. Em- ployees of the company: who sold their passes had their pay withheld on the last pay-day. Others had regular passes. Some of those in possession of the passes got uneasy and purchased regular tickets after they had left Richmond, Wholesale arrests are threatened of both those who sold the tickets and those who purchased them. The pun- ishment is said to be fine or impris- onment or both. | All colored persons declare inno- dence. ( Clarence S. Forrester, a letter- carrier of high standing in this com- munity, died at his residence here in First Street on the night of Sep- tember 12th. His funeral took place from the St, Philip's Episcopal Church, with Rev. Junius L. Taylor, the rector, conducting the services. Funeral Director A. D.

Suppose we see Mrs. Vincent.” Bob Carter volunteered to find Mrs, Vincent and while he was on his way Brennan lighted 2, cigar- ette, He leaned forward with his elbows on his knees and looked out over the lawn, “You come purty near bein’ a first class detective, don't you?” Simon Judd asked, hitching forward in his chair he filled to overflow- ing “T'm not the worst in the world,” Brennan said. “There are better. ‘We've some fine men over in New York Our men are a lot better chan we're given credit for being. ‘We have lots of crimes and we don’t get every crook, but it's a bad mess over there, I do well enough. It's not as bad here as it is in Manhattan.” “That's so; that's likely,” Simon Judd agreed. “And we ain't got It near as bad out to Reverbank, If you was out there you wouldn't have much trouble at all, I reckon.” “There are tough problems everywhere,” Brennan said. “Any place may turn out a hard problem at any time.” “That's how I think about ity’ Simon Judd said. “That's why kept pesterin’ them out there until they said they'd make me chief of police. ‘Black my cats!" I says to them; ‘The’ ain't no tellin’ when you're goin’ to need fust class de- fective ability” | 1 guess,” he chuckled, “'they don’t think overly much of me at that! Think I'm some sort of fat old fool, mostly. And I don’t know but what T am. ‘The’ ain’t no fool like an old fool, is the’? What you think? Am I a fool to go takin’ up detectin’ as a life work when I’m along past seventy years old?” “T'll reserve my opinion on thgt. Mr, Judd," Brennan smiled. “I can't remember any man who took ap investigative work at that aze, but I've known some men who took up crime as old as that and did quite well at it” "A detective has to be slicker than a criminal, that's the pest of it,” Simon Judd said. “And it's so blame hard for them folks to take a fat_man serious out there to home. Especially a man that’s mostly clung to jobs where he could sleep most of the time, like livery-stablin’, I clung to. livery- stablin’ as long as I could, and that’s a fact, but these here ‘auto- mobiles has’ given the business a Black eye, anf if a man goes into the garage business he's got to be liyely and wide awake all the time. Now, a detective—in a town like Riverbank, Iowa—” “Can sleep most.of the time,” Jnughed, Brennas, “That's the idee!” Simon Judd chuckled. “Particular if he's. not on the force. If he's just a police- man he's got to be out and around, but if he’s chief of police and de- fective he's got to spend quite a lot of time in meditation—sittin’ in his office in a chair tipped back against the wall with hic eves closed. Looked Hike = 20nd job to me, so T vot shut of oy Every stable and y 1 of fem un tin’ January sirst nose ‘Good job,” smiled Brennan. “Yes, or I wouldn't have want-d it,” said Simon Judd. “But +. gain thing when’e man fasics down a job like that is to b: : to hang onto it, and that's why figgered I'd come East here oi learn the detective business f A to Z. I says to myself: - can get them slick New York tectives to let me help hunt vo some murderer or something. 1 learn a lot, and when I come ba. < and catch a couple of crooks ric. here in Riverbank the folks ain't ever goin” to let nobody throv 2 out “Brennan looked up zt the oid man's face suddenly, but all he saw was good nature and smiling cheer- fulness. “This murder occurred very 09- portunely,” Brennan said. “That's what I was going’ to say.” Simon Judd replied” Just like it was made to order for me. It couldn't have been handier. So that fetches me to what I'm coin’ to say—what'd you say if I was to go sort of partners with you and the two of us together hunt out fate denerthiv’ crime? ® “We're always glad to have 27 assistance we can from any s0.—” Whatever,” Brennan told Judd. “Yes, reckon,” said the fat an. “Only thet aint any ides, 1 want you should say l work at this fase, together, aoe I can get the {aside of how you fellers go at it ‘What say to if?” ‘Once more Brennan looked Simon Judd in the face. What he sought ‘was the eye of an insane man—the eye of a man who might have come fo thle house and murdered Joba | oe males case wort sol ang perhaps, of a man who | fal "beld’'s grudge against Joho Drage and had come fete to satisty it he saw, if he could judge, was the keen eye of a man who was ee ‘such a fool as he looked, the keen wughing eye of a man who, possibly, vas laughing. at the, detective good paturedly while laughing at himseli. ‘This,” Brennan said to himself, “is aman who is laughing at me becausa ‘he knows something 1 don't know !” “T wont be no more trouble to you then need be,” Simon Judd said. nly thing is it would be quite an experience to me to work han? in arm, so to say, with a real detective like you are.” “T think we cen manage it,” Bren- nap said “Black my cats, that’s fine!" Simon Judd exclaimed. “Amy, that 3 that fine! I’m goin’ to pitch ri a and work at this thing until w t all cleaned up and the murderous por- right where b we ee ne!

WALTON, Manager Bishop Gaines Speaks Here. (Continued from page 1) the money was for the support of Kittrell College. Assigned Much Work. Bishop A. L. Gaines said; "My dear friends, it is very gracious of you to come back to this service tonight to listen to my attempt to speak. Last May, when I was assigned to this Episcopal district, I made a solemn vow to speak only once a day. I picked up a paper and I saw that I was specified to speak again tonight and I did not care to embarrass the pastor. I have served in the 13th Episcopal District, was assigned to a part of Bishop Coppin's district, so you see I have been over-worked. I shall talk on the "Possibilities of Faith" John 14:12. He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. A Question of Faith. I am somewhat amused, when I hear people outside of the Church speak of faith in a disparaging way. It is for old men and women and children. They say, "Away with this faith of the Christian."

WALTON, Manager every day. I have a piece of paper in my pocket. You can get sugar, coffee, etc., with it. If you took it to Mr. Mitchell, he would credit it on his paper. You have faith that if you take it to the government, it will give you a silver dollar for it. This is the faith that they would have you throw away. You let a woman shut herself off from the world for herself and children. Let her lose faith in her husband and that family is broken up. Faith is the basis of all medical science. Faith is the bottom of scientific discovery. If you send out for a doctor and you have no confidence in either him or his medicines, they will do you hurt the other. When the three ships started out with Columbus as its admiral, they wanted him to turn back. Columbus replied to their queries, we will sail on. The feeling of mutiny increased. In reply to further queries, he said: "We will sail on and on." He did sail on and he gave America, the most prosperous country in the world, its civilization. Remember the text: He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. He told of the talk of Christ with His disciples. The Basis of Science. He Sailed On. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA His story in this life would be short. He had power after he had left this world. His disciples became discouraged. Leave your net, he had said, and follow me. He had said he would make them fishers of men. Fishermen of men is a mistake in translation. I'll make you fishermen of men. The Living Wanted. When they draw in a net, the dead fish are thrown back into the sea. Only live fish are wanted. Only live men, not dead ones are wanted. Another disciple was, a receiver of customs. I followed Him, he said, and now he is going away, thinking that he was going to set up a kingdom in this world. Yes, I am going to prepare a place for you that where I am am may be also. If you believe in me, the things you see me do, ye shall do and greater things, when I go to my Father. Peter's Shadow. A woman touched his garment and was made whole. Does the Master mean that we shall do greater things than these? Peter was down in Jerusalem healing the sick. Peter's shadow cured many. I studied about Paul. He was working miracles down in Asia. The people were bed-ridden. They took napkins and touched Paul with the napkins. They took the napkins and laid them upon the sick people and they were cured. Greater things than I have done, ye shall do. He told of the crippled, who could not get into the pool. Would thou be cured? Take up thy bed and walk. Had Fed Many. He spoke of hospitals being established. These people have been cured by united Christianity. Instead of feeding 5,000 homes for the orphans, decrepid, united Christianity is feeding millions.

The storm arose, winds blew and the thunder rolled, the lightning flashed. They came to Him. Master, careth thou not that we perish? Calmed the Sea. He arose and said: "Peace be still." The waves like naughty children went to sleep. What manner of man is this that even the wind and the waves obey him? I do know in these forty years sailing over life's tempestuous sea, I have gone to the Master. He has said: "Be of good cheer." "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall, he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." A Long Time Ago. It has been 2,000 years since the Master fall asleep and sent out his disciples to preach the word. If everyone had faith, trustees, class leaders, the world would be brought back and Jesus Christ would be honored everywhere. Bishop Gaines then engaged in an oratorical outburst as he spoke of John and the seven seals. The command to the angel to stand East and another to stand West and another to stand North and another to stand South. Hold down the winds until I have sealed my people in their foreheads. Hold it down yet. Don't let it blow until I go to the number that no man could number. A Reference to Revelation. Who are these? These are they who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. All hail the power of Jesus name, Let Angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem And crown Him Lord of all. QUE MAIN STS. Children, 10c SEPT. 24TH y, Wednesday.
