Sedalia Weekly Conservator. PASTOR OF ST. JAMES CHAPEL. VOL. 1. A grand reception was tendered Fev. W. G. Williams Monday evening 20th. inst. in honor of his return to the Pastorate of St. James A. M. K. Church corner Pendleton and St. Ferdinand Avenue That Rev. Williams has won the respect, honor and love not only of his immediate membership, but of the entire community was fully evidenced by the warmth and spirit of that gathering. It was indeed an event in the history of St. James. The capacity of the building was fully taxed and among the guests present were Revs. Robert, Morton Cole Brown and others. Elder Williams, his estimable wife and children entered the Church esorted by members of the Official Board. Prayer for continued success was offered by Rev. Morton. Dr. Roberts, and Prof. R. H. Cole each commended in highest terms the noble merit, worth and work of Rev. Williams to which he very modestly responded, and after the rendition of a very excellent programme all present enjoyed the bountiful collation served by the Lacies of the Auxiliary Boards. Rev. Williams is a christain gentleman, a man of sterling worth and justly merits the honor and appreciation shown him. He has been an immeasurable benefit to Church and Society. His first assignment here was one year ago when it is said he told the Bishop if under his juris diction there was anything weak, feeble, bruised or wounded, anything that none else wanted THAT would he prefer, thus seeking an opportunity to exercise a strength of will and purpose to the perfect satisfaction of having truly accomplished something in the world. The result was his appointment to St James. He found the building in ruins, congregation scattered and a lack of unity among the members. Possessing the strength of character and determination to succeed, he at once interpreted his surroundings, grasped the situation planned as well as pitied, and with an abiding faith in boundless possibilities a calm security in Jehovah's guidance, and a freshness of spirit and devotion for the work of the Master, took hold of the helm, bringing order out of chaos, harmony out of conflict and launched to victory. As a result of his diligence, assiduity, concentration of power and influence, the congregation is reunited as one family, and today worship under their own "vine and fig tree" and rejoice to chronicle upon the pages of its history a year of unparelled success. Though the year was begun under heavy shadows his report to the Annual Conference eclipsed all former ones showing a new building an increased membership, a good spiritual condition and finance raised to the amount of $2751. He is a young man of Keen foresight, rare capabilities, SEDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, November 6, 1903. and adhering as he does to the principle of progressive expansion, "with head and heart, both active, both complete and both in earnest" we predict for him a brilliant future. BRYAN VIEWS RACE ISSUE. LET NATIONAL POLITICS HAV AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE TO DO WITH ISSUE. Mr. Bryan's views on Southern race problems are sane.His feeling for the Negro is kind; his interest in the white comes first. His loyalty to the glittering generalities penned by Jefferson is strong but he tempers them with auctual conditions and proceeds in the spirit of science. He points out the influence of locality on oponion when he reminds northerners that they have never had a single officer chosen for them by Negro votes. He recalls the Negro legislatures of reconstruction days. He admits that his feelings being what they are in Nebraska would differ with the State in which he happened to reside. Mr' Bryan has taken his stand upon the right spot. The advantages of State Government were never more aptly illustrated than at present. For a State half black toreceive color legislation from States entirely white is pure injustice. If Abraham Lincoln had lived the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments would not exist in their present form. The bitterness of the South would be less. Her condition would be better. Her problems would be easier. Lincoln was docile to experience. He knew a question before he decided it He felt his way. His idea of reconstruction was to put the task in the hands of those Southerners in each State who had favored the Union, gradually extending it; not for deliver it to blacks and to white Northern adventurers. Lincoln was able to express abstract principles with tremulous eloquence, but principle never existed for him in a vacuum, separated from actual conditions, as it does for many Northern orator and publicist, who would set tle race problems with simple moral laws. We regret the choice of Mississippi in preferring an agitator to a better man for Governor, but would rather have such errors made than to see realized some current talk about enforcing the amendments. The negro question means one thing in Georgia, another in Mississippi, a third in Maryland, and little in Pennsylvania. Mr. Bryan puts this point more clearly than we have for some time seen it put, and we congratulate him on his lucidity. Let national politics have as little as possible to do with a question of which the solution differs with the locality. OKLAHOMA'S EXPERIENCE. WITH COLLEGE BRED EARMERS. Guthrie O. T., Oct. (Special) At a meeting of the board of regents for the Colored Agricultural and Normal University at Langston, President Inman E. Page recommended the appointment of a professor of agriculture, on January 1. The chair has been vacant since the close of the last academic year. The regents are almost disgusted with this proposition, and have given President Page no encouragement in the matter. In several instances they have appointed college-bred men to the position when the results were entirely barren. One of the professors of agriculture in this negro training school was a man strongly indorsed by Booker T. Washington, savior of the race in America. The fellow, according to reports told of him, came to Oklahoma, understood not the conditions under which farming was conducted, and made a flat failure of his undertaking. Another young negro was elected from Cornell Ithaca, N. Y. One of his first acts was to ask the regents for an appropriation of $3,000 for roses and shrubbery in general. The members of that board did raise $800 for this purpose, and now one member at least, says he supposes there is not the worth of $1.50 in the shrubbery which the visionary young college farmer bought. Just now, however, the board is investigating agraduate of the Tuskegee Institute, who also completed the course at the Kansas agricultural college. The fact that he has lived in Kansas indicates that he might understand in a measure the climate and soil conditions of Oklahoma. Just now the Langston institution farm is conducted by P. T. Zeigler, of Watonga, who said to be a highly practical man. At the recent meeting H. B. Downs, of Kingfisher was chosen carpenter and wood worker, Amos Lassiter, blacksmith, and Mrs. M. C. Lyle, matron boys dormitory, Construction of a few new minor buildings, and the moving of one or two were ordered by the board. President Page reported the attendance as 171. There are no students in the university preparatory department. There are 30 in the mechanical, 88 in domes tic economv, 153 in vocal music, and 70 in instrumental music. BOSTON CAFE.

It was the prevailing thought some years ago that the heathen world was better off without the gospel: for the gospel only brought them under condemnation. That idea has passed away. All men are marching to the Master's command. The church should seek to evangelize the world; the heathens are willing to hear. This means increased responsibilities upon all christians; for Christ was the first missionary. The first star of Methodism was John Wesley, who went forth with well trained hands and heart. The British wrong brought on the war of independence; the final issue of the war struggle was the organization of the Unintended States of America. The power which stands and presents to the eye of the world, a great nation, the Methodist Episcopal Church, with many sons and daughters are sending help to the many in Africa, India, China, Japan, Korea and the Islands of the sea. There are many who have heard the preaching of the gospel, from their youth up, believe that the cause of mission is a fraud; both home and foreign mission. They seem to think that if God wanted the heathens converted He would send whom soever He would, without money and without price. They do not believe in systematic methods of raising means. But God blesses these inspired methods. Go ye into all the world and preach my gospel to every creature. They donot believe the marvelous accounts of missionary zeal and results in the distant lands. They pay no heed to the cry of the helpless,—that is, help them to be saved; help them to obtain salvation. The church of today may hear the same call, for not only does the savior command us to help the destitute here to be saved, but most affectingly appeales for help by the very necessities of the nations. In foreign lands the heathen when awakened to see their condition and to some appreciation of the blessings that the gospel alone confers, are struck with the interest that the people of God living in Christian lands, exclaimed, How could you and your fathers, having possessed the knowledge of salvation for so many generations and yet never imparted it unto us until now? This painful question has been put to the missionary with a pathos, which should have touched the heart of the whole church. Think of the compassion of God when he so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that who soever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. That which moved God to give his son for the sins of the world, and we shall be like him when we too shall pity the heathen, the benighted nations, and give our alms to help enlighten them. The greatest issue of the present century is missions. The world has been nineteen centuries opening the gates of the nations to the Gospel. Christianity has spread like wild fire, gradually finding its way across the seas, carrying the gospel to all the provinces of the Roman Empire but the regions beyond were not, ```markdown ``` NO.27 reached until now, besides this, christianity was x y z in the middle ages until the reformation of the sixteenth century. Since then evangelists have gone forth to every accessible land, the sword of conquest, the cannon of England, have opened gradually every dark shore and continent to the Bible during the past century for the first time in the history of the world. Every nation has received the messengers of Jesus Christ. The walls of China have crumbled, the hardest nation to reach beneath the sun. Some years ago the Chinese brutally murdered something like a third of their infant daughters, and threw them upon vacant grounds where the village dogs congregated and fought over the bodies. Today thru the influence of missionary work such sights never appear. Fifty years ago, the Figi Islanders were caunibals they have however been enlightened. The church of Christ has a marvelous influence in breaking the power of idols. The same church, the same savior, that transformed the savages of Europe into Christian people, is working in China. The same power which changed the cannibals of the Figi Islands to the most devot and sincere Christian is moulding in China. The dark continent has been explored and opened by missionaries and by such men as Cowen, Mason, Livingston, Stanley and many others. It took the civilization from the reformation of Luther, to make the world accessible to the gospel. The issue of mission is the greatest from several stand points: first, it fulfills the sublimest prophecy, the promise of God that his son should have the heath en for an inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for his possessions, and that even dark Ethiopia should stretch forth her hands unto God. 2nd. It is in obedience to the grandest law of God ever enacted. Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature teach them to observe all things whatsoever I have commandeb you and lo I am with you always even till the world shall end. This is Christ's commission universal to man's universal need and based upon the christians universal duty. 3rd. This issue of missions in the present century, the sublimest consumption of the age, the second comming of Christ. It involves the conversion of two-thirds of the population of the earth. Yet there are many who have not been brought to Christ. What a stupendous work; how slow and long it has been reaching this point; how impossible it has seemed to many of us! But the nations are softening under the light of the gospel; knowledge is covering the earth as the waters cover the sea; thousands are opening their pock et books to the great work; missions have opened and developed the dignity of women and children. Christianity has set them free in the heathen world, put them to work in this. It has taken the world nineteen centuries to learn that a child can be converted and used in the vineyard of our God, for Jesus says Suffer little children to come to me for (Continued on page 4.)

The Foot Ball game between the Lincoln High of this city and second Deweys of the G. R.S. College last Friday was very interesting. The Deweys scoring in the first half, but failing at goal were marked up with 5 points The Highs scoring in the beginning of the second half, also failing at goal were marked up five points. The game was called on account of rain and remains unfinished. The Deweys need more practice while the Highs need to study the rules more, to make the next game more interesting. Umpires Goin and Igenfritz. The Church Fair at the Morgain St.Baptist Church last week does not prove to be as successful as it should have been. Some how "it was out" and the people didn't go. Thursday night was a climax and an anti-climax the anti-clomax coming first. The speech given us by the invited speaker was that the "nigger" should attend to his own business, interspersed with a few jokes. We do not blame the speaker for coming but censure the committee on speaking and others concerned. We have noble young men and educators in our community and should look to them for short talks on any topics. Now, to the speaker, we speak, for our community and say: "we know how to attend to our business, the trouble is, that such men as Gorman, Tillman, and others won't let us alone, hence, we must either rise up and defend our selves or be like that little band of christians, who had so much religion that they sit still and prayed while their opposers chopped their heads off with swords To the Memory of Nother. It was on a bright and sunny eve, I stood beside the bed; The eyes of my poor mother closed. They told me she was dead, I can't forget my sorrow then— My heart did melt with grief. Around her humble couch I bent, She told me not to weep for her, For she was going to rest. Her peace was made with God We carried to her humble bed And there they laid her low, We hope to meet her by and by, Where parting is no more. That home was dark and sad to me, That once was filled with joy; The sun that shined so bright to me, Has set to rise no more. I often wander in my mind To the place where mother sleeps, And there around the silent dead, The tears of sadness weep. Sisters and brothers, father dear. Have wandered from that home And some have gone to join her there Safe in that heavenly dome. ```markdown ``` I've wandered far from that dear spot Where round my mother's knee, I used to bow at eventide— She said a prayer for me. Methinks I feel her tender hand Yet on my temples pressed— No, 'tis not so, my mother's gone, Her spirit is at rest. Her body sleeps beneath the sod; Her soul no sadness !nows; She sings of Christ's redeem- O! happy home; O! blessed state! That place where angles meet I hope to meet my kindred there. And bow at Jesus' feet. We soon shall cross deaths rolling flood We soon shall reach our home We soon shall be at rest with God We soon no more shall roam. In that blessed and of love and light. Where white-robed angels dewell' The lamb of God will be our light We'll never say farewell. (Continued from page 1) of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. There is not a single country on the face of the earth where the church cannot send ambassadors for Christ. More than 28,000 churches have been consecrated to christian worship in the United States during the past century. Great Britain can without crippling her home worship, keep in the field an army of 200,000; all Prostent Christendom has 257 as the number of missionary socieandauxilliaries now at work; missions develop true christian lives; truth we owe to the whole world the presentation of our Lord. We have conquered the world in war, in trade and in science; and are the feebly supporters of missions? We who have received the Christ, must give the Christ to the world. We need more missionaries and teachers of the gospel of Christ, that its power may give true faith and spirituality, education in place of ignorance, pure and noble lives, instead of worldliness, stability to our government. Then our christian influences become a living power in the hearts and lives of man. College Notes.
