NO DELAYS BUT, PROMPT SERVICE AND SATISFACTION ASSURED. Biographical Sketch. Three bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church were born at Athens. Ohio, in the 30's. They were B. C. McCabe, Earl Cranston and David H. Moore, subject of this sketch. Singular enough, they were the only bishops of this great church to regularly enlist in the army, during the Rebellion, McCabe as chaplain, Cranston as a captain and Moore as a lieutenant colonel of a regiment that saw service in the Atlanta campaigns. At the close of the war, bishop Moore, then colonel, resumed the ministry and after serving prominent churches in Ohio, he entered educational work in Cincinnati in 1875. In 1880 he organized the University of Denver, Colorado. Of this institution he was the first chancellor. Subsequently he was elected editor of the Western Christian Advocate, with his offices in Cincinnati, Ohio. He continued in this work for eleven years. At the General Conference of 1890, he was elected bishop. The Boxer Outbreak being on and for the first time the policy of having a bishop to preside in the Far East, Asia being selected. Bishop Moore, led by his soldierly instincts, volunteered for that post. After many interesting and thrilling experiences, in China, Japan and Corea, he returned to his native land for a Missionary Tour. On his trip home he came via Port Arthur and the Trans-Siberian railroad, passing thru Manchuria, Siberia, Russia, Germany, France and England. Returning to the Far East, he spent two years and on his roundup he was caught in the Russo-Japanese war on a Russian transport that put in at the picturesque harbor of Chemulpo, where he saw a naval engagement between the Japanese fleet under Rear Admiral Uriu and a Russian aquadron. He carries with him a precious memento, a builder's plate from the transport on which he made the passage to to this port. This ship was destroyed in the naval engagement that he witnessed. assigned him to Portland, Ore. Before reaching Joplin, Mo., he held a conference in Old Mexico and, another at Muskogee, L. T.

E. church, of this city, has completed his second year's work in our parish. We are proud to say that Rev. Reeves has made us a faithful and energetic pastor. By his genial disposition and christianly devotion he has gained many lasting friends in our city. From the beginning, the most eminent success has followed his labor. The church and parsonage have been neatly repaired and both present an attractive appearance to the passersby. The financial condition of the church is much better than at any previous time. His congregation readily responds to any financial request he may ask of it. As a reward for his faithfulness his salary was increased last year. The spiritual condition of the church is excellent. Several have joined during his pastorate. Our congregation has grown larger and a special interest in the welfare of the church is visibly manifest among both saints and sinners Rev. Reeves has been the cause of many distinguished persons of our race to appear before us. Of the ministry, we have had the Rev. R. E. Gullum, D. D., pastor of Union Memorial, St. Louis, Rev. Richard Davis, pastor of Taylor's Chapel, Sedalia, and the Rev. G. W. Reeves, pastor of North Street M. E. church, Marshall; all of whom preached soul stirring sermons that resulting in benefit to all concerned. Prof. A. C. Maclin, of the department of Mathematics of the George R. Smith College, Sedalia, lectured to us twice this year and once last year. He showed marked improvement in oratory since his marriage, and he will soon rank among the most intellectual and eloquent orators. We always enjoy an intellectual treat by meeting the Professor. Mrs. Susie J. Layne and Miss Susie L. Barnett, both of George R. Smith College, favored us with a High Class Musicale, several weeks ago, which was a pleasing gratification to us all. We hope that are long they may return. Rev. Reeves' pastorate here has been a complete success, reflecting a great credit upon himself as well as honor upon his alma matre. We will gladly receive him for our pastor for the next year. If the Bishop should see fit to send him elsewhere, our fervent prayers shall accompany him for his success. All of our best wishes are that he may have health wealth christian prosperity and a long life. We wish him abundant success in all phases of life, and if married, even in married life. A Friend, A.

Result of Anglo-American Folly. Every day the world is told by the various news agencies of some great outburst of race discrimination in our free (?) America. From every section of our land we can hear and feel the chilly out flow of this ungodly feudal evil, a relic of the Dark Ages. In one section it manifests itself as a Jim crow car; in another place it lifts its satanic form in the guise of exclusion from public accommodations; over here it unfolds its fiendish coils at the threshold of our public shools, the basic element in the composition of our republican institution; out yonder we hear of it stalking, with embittered fury, through the sleeping apartments of our postal employees; yes we realize its presence at the altar of congugality, paving the way for illegitimacy, bastardry and shame; listen to its brazen footstep as it marches between us and the opportunity of honest; behold its audacious presence in the departmental service at Washington and in fact everywhere within the jurisdiction of the United States we find this foreign plague, race discrimination, manifesting itself in some visible form. Since it is here who is responsible for it? Without any reservations whatever we lay the responsibility upon on the Anglo-American in spite of his herculean effort to shift it upon the other fellow. He charges us with being ambitious for social prestige, political power, manhood rights, personal respect from others, high ideals of home, country, race, pure religion and a fulfillment of the principles embraced in the Golden Rule and accentuated by the Declaration of Independence. We plead guilty to every allegation and we are willing to add another specification, namely:—'The Negro that has character, culture, industry and loyalty to his country, is as good as anybody under the flag. If he is as good as any other citizen he has as much right as any other to aspire vehemently for every worthy thing that others crave.' These desires impulses, longings, hopes, ambitions, anticipations, or any or all other lofty ideals that he may have given to him by his Anlo-American impiary. Is this a refutable argument? Our African progenitors were not so anxious to be brought here by our European ancestors (we, the Negro of today can boast of our European as well as our African lineage) as they, our European ancestors, were to bring us here to use us for their servants as toilers in the field, shop and home or to subject us to submit as assuagers of their lustful overflowings. Having forced us to come they succeeded nobly in wrenching from us our labor without recompense and in pouring into our veins their uninyited blood. A century ago they might have laughed gloatingly over pitiable plight. But the tables are beginning to turn perceptably. They took from our parents (Our parents were not all slaves, as our various colors will attest) their labor and chastity by coercion. In return we, the offspring of both slave and Anglo American fathers by slave mothers inherited from our fathers these great elements of character that are alarming the world today. Who was responsible then? Who is responsible now? Vaunting cowards run from responsibilities. Our African blood sometimes teils us to run but our European blood, made holier by our Anglo American element, impels us to stand our ground. Therefore, the REA NEW NEGRO the individual of Godly character, means to stand his ground facing his enemies. Running is inconsistent with American culture. Anglo Americans may rave all they please. The Negro has had a taste of the same liberty that he enjoys. Its influence has permeated his whole being. This liberty is immortal therefore you may kill his body and still will its soothing influences accompany him be yond the reach of death. Who aroused these latent energies of his soul? His American master, his father's blood coursing through his veins. Can the spirit of liberty, as flung to the breezes by the Anglo American be suppressed? No, a thousand myriads of ro s are heard in reverberative and rhythmic response from everywhere. It's folly to think of its annihilation. This spirit rules the Negro. Why, fair American, strive to destroy the spirit of laudable ambition that impels the Negro upward and outward? The more he is oppressed the greater becomes his buoyant power of resistance. Resist he will, though death impends its awesome visage.

Let us cease our strife and direct our energies properly. Discrimination as it manifests itself is contrary to our constitutional law; however much, sophists may endeavor to sear their consciences by a resort to rhetorical differentiations. To say that this discrimination is in keeping with Divine Law is infidelity ranker than than the grossest Ingersolism. It is based upon selfishness. All of this trouble has been brought because of the laziness of our European ancestors, who wished slave servants. We are here as a result of their sin and we mean to benefited or damned accord to the direction of the fates that ruleth the nations. NATHANIEL ANDERSON. The subject of this sketch was born in Marshall, saline county, Mo., August 4th, 1856 and died at his late home in Lincolnville, March 18 1907, aged 50 years. 7 months and four days. His early boyhood was spent in that county but the remainder of his life was spent in Pettis county, in this city. In 1879 he was married to Miss Lewis, who who survives him. To this union no children were given. As a husband he was a model, being all ways cheerful, loving and good throughout the 30 years of his married life. During the pastorate of the Rev Edward Pitts he professed a hope in Christ and has ever since lived a true, faithful and consistent christian. As early as 1870 he joined the Hawkins Lodge 44, A. F. & A. M where he proved himself to be a square man in his dealing with all men. A man more loyal to his lodge is not to be found in the state. Brother Anderson was a hustler. Idleness was a stranger to him. We remember how several years ago he was heavily involved caused by the long illness of his mother and father. Without any hesitancy he and his loyal wife joined hands to liquidate every obligation. They succeeded not only clearing their financial records but today a beautiful home with several lots adjacent, clear of debt, stand as a visible evidence of their swift and frugality God granted his prayer that he might rest for a season in a home of his own on this earth. No man in the city stood higher in the estimation of all the people, white or black, than brother Anderson. On January 4th, he was stuck en down in his last illness. Tu berculosis was the desease that absorbed his vitality. During all his afflictions, he was patient and trustful. Consciousness new er deserted him. Even in his fin al moment he advised his wife, who had nursed him so tenderly and constantly, to not grieve for him but that he desired her to look to Jesus because he knew all was well with him. Peacefully as if to go away in pleasant sleep, he closed his eyes in death and passed away without a tremor. Only an aunt, Mrs Bettie Hays and his wife are the near relatives left to mourn his leave taking but a host of friends join these in their bitter bereavement. "Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus Just to take him at his word Just to stand upon his promise And to lean upon His word." The Conservator joins the be reaved wife, aunt and friends in words of the tenderest condolence. Corning About April 20th This is to thank my patrons for the large amount of work they have piled upon me ever year more and more for the last 10 years which has forced me to move to larger quarters.

The two Methodist churches the A.M.E. and the M.E. are preparing elaborate programmes for their Easter services. The little folk and young people are taking active parts. CONFERENCE PICKINGS BY THE EDITOR Father Tayes, as usual, led the Love Feast Sunday morning Prof II L Billups of Marshall, Texas, was present on Saturday Rev. G B Smith and wife fed their share of the people most nobly. Rev J H McAllister, the joker, had a good one on Father J W Payne. Editor J Frank McDonald of the Western Christian Recorder made a great hit with the brethren. Reverends Davis, Wheeler and Nolan were called home during the sessions on account of urgent business. Miss Millissa Fuell saved herself from the consuming flames of Graham, Whaley & Co. Rev H A Henry, despite his en feebled condition declared that his faith was well established in the Most High. Mrs Annie L Stemmons of Sedalia was a conference visitor. She was enjoying a short stay with her sister in Webb City. The Joplin Colored school is in competent hands. Prof. Brooks and Misses Fuell and Douglas have things under excellent control. Bishop Moore preached a very able discourse Sunday at eleven a.m. on Moses. His effort was attended by a great spiritual outpouring. Over $3000 was raised for benevolence in this conference the past year. A desire to become self-supporting has struck the church in Missouri. Miss Alice McKinney of Sedalia was seen giving the preachers a glad hand and aiding Mrs Smith to feed the multitudes that were slightly hungered. Mrs E H Scott of Sedalia was seen on the grounds during the week. We know her well since she has stood by the Conservator for several years. Brother Rush advised certain ministers, who have work to quit sitting around other places and "hollering amen" to other men's work, while theirs go wanting. Orient Lodge No. 11. Knights of Pythias, awarded us the job of printing their anniversary programs. They were shipped to them on the 29th. Messrs Phillips Kincaid and Houston, mechanics from Neosho who were at work in Joplin, were made happy on Sunday by the presence of their better nine tenths. Accompanied by Sir Knight Stover, Rev. O A Johnson and several others, attended the Anniversary service of the Galena Kansas, Knights and Calantheans in the afternoon of the 24. One of the most impressive scenes witnessed was the meeting of Father Payne with a relative, whom he had not seen for more than 30 years. Both were carried away with emotions uncontrollable. Industrial education for George R Smith College will be greatly strengthened this year, if the peo ple are properly approached on the matter. $400 was pledged for this purpose at one season. Let us have a wide awake Field Agent, Mesdames M L Jackson and Anna Abbott accompanied their husbands to the scene of the conference in order that they might keep the young "fellers" straight Cor.
