St. Louis Argus

DR.W.SAMSON BROOKS In the story of his travels to the Holy Land, entitled "Footprints of a Black Man," the author, Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, has given a very graphic and glowing account of familiar Bible scenes, and has brought to the mental vision of the reader a picture of Palestine, its famous towns, mountains, rivers, and lakes, the peculiar customs of the people which prevail today in many instances as in patriarchal days. Dr. Brooks made the cruise in March, 1904, as one of 800 delegates to the World's Fourth Sunday-school Convention at Jerusalem. Stops were made at Madeira, Athens, Gibraltar, Malta, Algiers, Constantinople and Beirut. Especially vivid is the description of the memorable island of Malta, where the Apostle Paul was shipwrecked and where later flourished the famous order of the Crusaders known as the Knights of St. John and the Knights of Malta. Constantinople is described, the manners and customs of the Mohammedans, the famous mosque, St. Sophia, making an intensely interesting chapter on Moslem life and religion. The historic and classic city of Athens is visited; the Isle of Patmos, Smyrna and Ephesus, and the missionary endeavors at Beirut pointed out and described. Sailing down the Mediterranean route is followed to the Sea of Gallee, from thence through Cana, Nazareth, across the Plain of Eudraction to St. Louis Republicans were successful, far beyond expectations in the Aldermanic and Board of Education election Tuesday. Although the city is normally about 15,000 Republican, the candidates on the G. O. P. Ticket were elected by pluralities ranging from 18,000 to 38,000. Dissatisfaction with the National and indorsement of the local administrations, is given as the cause of the landslide. The new and first Board of Aldermen, under the new charter, will be wholly Republican. The Board of Education, for the first time in 20 years, will be partisan; the Republicans having elected the four candidates on their ticket. The first duty of the Board of Aldermen will be the selection of a vicepresident, secretary and sergeant-of-arms. The latter has been promised to the Negroes. Ralph Turner is the retired sergeant of the old council, and is a candidate. The only formidable opponent is Wm. Mathews, who seems to be running strong. MISS HAGAN PLEASES AUDIENCE AT CENTRAL Miss Helen Eugenia Hagan, the brilliant pianist who has recently appeared before the most cultured audiences of the country, pleased a nice audience at Central Baptist Church, Tuesday night. In her renditions Miss Hagan was perfectly at ease and showed rare ability at the piano and received many rounds of applause. The concert was greatly enhanced by the able assistance rendered by the T. C. Choral Club under the direction of Mr. Troy Gorum. Mrs. Victory Clay Haley was manager of the affair.

The St. Louis Argus Jerusalem, the final goal of the tourist. The Holy Land, its famous sites and environs, are featured, and one has a clear vision of a real town, a real Christ, a real Calvary, whereas before his idea was vague and abstract, and represented to him a mythical or phantom city instead of the town of living people, inclosed by famous walls and towers and entered still through its famous Damascus and Joppa Gates by a living stream of motley humanity in the guise of tourists, merchants, trades-men, pilgrims, and worshipers. The story is well illustrated by pictures of famous sites and scenes, many of them showing the author and his companion on their journey. Egypt is visited; Cairo and Alexandria are described, as also are the famous Egyptian Pyramids and Egyptian life. As a fitting climax to this journey, Rome, the "Eternal City," is visited. Here the author was received in the Vatican by his Holiness, Pope Pius X. Much interest will be aroused in the accounts of St. Peters and other famous edifices, in this, the most interesting city in the world. "Footprints of a Black Man" will prove a valuable book to Bible students, to scholars, to missionaries, and to every man, woman and child who is interested in Oriental ideas and customs. This book is unique and attractive because it is the account of a Negro who has enjoyed the rare privilege of visiting the Holy Land and seeing with his own eyes the land of Jesus' birth, life, ministry, crucifixion and glorious resurrection. He has tra- Favorite Entertainers Return to Keystone LeRoy Morton and his talented wife, whose stage name is Elnora Wilson, have been engaged by Mr. Charles Mills to entertain the patrons of Keystone Cafe and Garden, at Compton and Lawton.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE I have read, with interest, your editorial "An Easter Message." I am surprised that such a good editorial could be found in a Colored publication. Every word of it is true, and I highly respect the writer. Yours very truly, Prof. G. Yhnell, 1424 Olive St. Local. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or graphics.

K. of P. at the age of nine years old. He was made sergeant of said company, and filled the office with honor and received honorable discharge from his company and is a member of Hughes Lodge 93. This lodge (K. of P.) is made up mostly of young men of the cadets. Sergt. Brown is a member of Editor Argus: versed the same paths the Master trod, rested by the same land marks, tasted the waters of the springs from which the Master drank, and admired the same sunny fields, blue skies, picturesque valleys and hills He loved. He has followed the trail of Moses, Joshua and Elijah and he feels that the public will appreciate the story of an American Negro's experience in the land of Palestine and will derive much pleasure, entertainment and information from this absorbing description. THE BOOK "Footprints of a Black Man" is bound in silk vellum with title and design for book cover in gold. It contains over 60 illustrations, more than 300 pages, and is printed in unusually large and clear type. The Price is $1.50. Postage Extra.

DREAMLAND AT NIGHT A beauty beyond imagination is Dreamland at night. Myriads of electric lights beaming from the ceiling like tiny stars, covering the walls in artistic designs, and brilliantly illuminating Oriental lanterns, tropical flowers and plants; give one the impression of a fairyland. The highly polished dance floor is the largest in the city. At the big ball and exhibition dance, Monday night, May 10, there will be plenty of plain dances on the program, so that everyone who attends may share in the enjoyment. ST. PETERS CHURCH NOTES Sunday night there will be special services at St. Peter's Church, Elliot and Montgomery Streets. Dr. S. P. Stafford and Prof. F. L. Williams will be the principle speakers.

Every Sunday morning you will find this young man at his post in the church. He is one of the ushers. It is one of Col. Hughes' orders to all cadets, that each one must attend church the first Sunday in each month, and Sergt. Brown has not forgot the training. Mothers should encourage their boys to join the cadets as it helps the boys in many ways. REGULAR MEAL SERVICE NOW AT SILVER GRILL REGULAR MEAL SERVICE NOW AT SILVER GRILL Silver Grill, at 2321 Market St., is now offering a regular meal service just as any ordinary cafe, except that, with the Grill's excellent cuisine and efficient corps of attendants it is in position to surpass all others. Patrons can secure breakfast, dinner or supper at popular prices. Lunches at all hours. The cabaret feature is drawing well. The Artie Mathews Quintette is pleasing immensely.

Curtis was toastmaster of the evening. A party was also given in honor of Mr. Sam Shepard and his bride, who was Miss Vivian Hutcherson. H. E. Perry, president of the Standard Life Ins.

Bailey, Ruth Ransome, Harry Love, Jannie Bullock, Irwin Jones, Olivia Cooper, Elroy Wesley Elizabeth Burris, Milton Whitter, Alish Voorhees and Elsa Pratt. MISS YOUNG URGED FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF STATE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL AT TIPTON Miss Sara C. Young, probation officer of the Juvenile Court is being strongly urged by the Missouri Federation of Women's Clubs and many others, for the appointment of superintendent of the State Industrial School for Colored Girls at Tipton, Mo. While Miss Young is not an applicant for the place, her ability as a probation officer, and her success in handling incorrigible girls is so well known, that she would have no difficulty in securing the place, if she would yield to the persuasion of her many friends and become an applicant. Miss Young has so far refused to consider the proposition, as she feels that the field of usefulness to her race is larger here, and the additional fact that she will attain the maximum salary of $1,500.00 per year in the near future. PROVIDENT HOSPITAL ITEMS Mrs. Augusta Outlaw, 3525a Lawton Ave., recovered from the operation, performed three weeks ago, and expects to return home in three days.

PAUL NOTES The reception to the new converts and younger church members by the Allen C. E. League of St. Paul Chapel was a most fitting close to the revival services. The reception which was conducted by the social committee of the league March 29th, was a grand success in every way. There were about a hundred or more persons present and each was presented with a souvenir contributed by Dr. T. B. Reddick. The reception was beautiful served by the splendid junior department of the church and league. "The Future Men Club," of which Mrs. Jessie D. Robinson, is supervisor, Mr. Jos. Haranson, president.

BROTHERHOOD CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN RESULTS IN MUCH GOOD The work started some time ago by the Brotherhood of Union Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, that of prosecuting a clean-up campaign among our colored citizens, we are glad to say, has been conducive of much good results. The committee appointed to look after the work, made personal calls on the people and earnestly entreated them to promote the beauty of their homes, by sowing grass, planting flowers and otherwise giving the homes a general overhauling in order to make more sure, improved and better sanitary conditions, has met with remarkable success. We personally distributed grass-seeds and plants to a number of people who declared themselves willing but unable to buy the same and stand ready, still, to furnish anyone who is similarly situated if they will apply to the pastor, who can be found at his office in the church building any time between 10 a. m. to one p. m. and from 3 p. m. to 5:30 p. m. The Brotherhood holds a business meeting the second Wednesday of each month at 8 o'clock p. m., at which time all applications for membership will be considered. Their devotional exercises are held every third Sunday of each month and the members, generally leave exultant over the results of their Bible discussions. The committee wishes to thank all who helped in the prosecution of the clean-up campaign. L. L. Landry. Chairman. LAST BALL Last Grand Ball of the Season By the N. P. J. S.

It has been the custom of this church and pastor for the last ten years to celebrate Easter with a real picture of what gave rise to the day. The weather was ideal. It was a record breaker for Easter. There were 92 baptized in the Mississippi River at 12 o'clock. They assembled at the church at 3 p. m. and the hand of fellowship was given and they communed at night. Each member responded to the request of the trustee board asking for 25 cents each.

Backsliders may be divided into three classes. 1. Those who have never been converted, but who have once considered themselves Christians. The churches are full of people who at some time received a religious impulse, and who perhaps expressed their purpose to lead a Christian life, but who never really received Christ. ```markdown ``` Such people must be shown in a kind and lowing way that they have been mistaken or they will never be willing to make another trial. It is well to point out some of the evidences of the new birth, and let them see that they have never experienced it. Romans 8:1 shows that the Christian is delivered from the guilt of sin. Ask them if they have ever been wholly free from a sense of guilt, and for what reason. I John 3:14 proves that we have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren. I John 3:21, 22 shows that an obedient Christian will have answers to prayer. I John 4:13 insures the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Test a person with such passages and he will soon recognize his true position. At the close of a service I was introduced to a young man who said to me, "I have tried this thing two or three times, and it did not seem to work, and I do not care to try it again." He spoke of conversion as if it were something like vaccination which did not "take" in his case. "Were you ever really converted?" "I do not know." "Did you ever get a new heart?" "I doubt if I did." "You have been trying to live the Christian life without any Christ to help you, haven't you?" "That just describes it." "It is no wonder you have had a hard time. It is like trying to run a watch without a mainspring. You might shake it and the wheels would stop a minute or two, but it would soon stop. Neither is it possible to lead a Christian life without the help of Christ who is the mainspring of it all. "If you had in your heart to help you—the very Christ who gave the commands, would you not be able to keep them!" "I think I would." "Listen then," I said, and I quoted Ezekiel 36:26, "A new heart will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments and do them!" "This is God's offer to you—a new heart. Will you accept it?" In a moment or two he was on his knees asking God for a new heart. II. The second class consists of those who have drifted away from God by disobedience, and are not anouslous to return. They are like the prodigal before his money was spent. They are living a worldly life, and so long as health and prosperity continue, they get along fairly well without God, though they have many rebukes of conscience, and frequent longings for the good old days of fellowship with God. With such people Jeremiah 2:5 is a good verse. Ask them what fault they could find with God that they have wandered from him. Jeremiah 2:13 is also good. Ask them if it is not true that their present life is evil and bitter as compared with the fellowship and joy which God provides for those who obey him. Show them the ingratiate and sin of such a course. Quote Jeremiah 2:19 and show them the folly of turning from a fountain of pure water to a broken cistern or a muddy pool. Then ask them if the self life is not a broken cistern as compared with that well of water which Christ opens in every heart that receives him. III. Backallders who are tired of sin and are anxious to return to God. They are like the prodigal after his money is spent, and after months of hunger and loneliness in the far country. For such Hoses 14:1-4 is a good passage. "O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine infiquity. I will heal their backallding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him." The most effective passage, however, is Luke 15:11-24. This not only pictures the wretched condition of the backallder, but it shows the steps by which he must return, and the royal reception which awaits him. No one needs pity more than the backallder. He is desiplied by the world, he is a reproach to the church, he is alienated from God, and he condemns himself. Religion should be the rule of life, not a casual incident of it—Disraeli. ST. LOUIS ARGUS (By B. C. BUILDERS. Arlington Director of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON TEXT I- Samuel 14:14 GOLDEN TEXT—Man lockketh on the outward appearance, but Jahovah lobbeth on the heart—I Samuel 11: R. V. After the events recorded in last Sunday's lesson Samuel retired to Ramah never again to see Saul's face. Samuel "mourned" (15:35) i. e., bewailed and lamented the deposed king. It was noble for Samuel thus to be grieved over Saul's sin; still, God had work for him to do. There is a sorrow that "workketh repentance" which is pleasing in the sight of God, but that idle sorrow which spends itself in unprofitable mourning is detrimental to man and a hindrance to the kingdom of God (ch. 8:7; 15:1). Men may fall but the kingdom goes forward. We do not interpret verse 8 as suggesting any subterfuge on God's part but rather that God refused to pay any attention to Samuel's fear God answers fear by giving us duties to perform and in their performance we are delivered from our fears. I. David Cheen to Be King, wv. 4-10. Saul, the clamorous choice of the people, was not succeeded by David—"the man after God's own heart"—for several years after this lesson. God's will in this matter was shown to Samuel progressively: (a) in chapter 18:14 Samuel is informed that God hath sought "a man after his own heart"; (b) in 18:1 he is told to go and find the king whom God had provided; (c) in verse 12 Samuel is at last definitely told whom God has selected. This selection is in accordance with the prophecy made centuries before regarding the kingly scepter (Gen. 49:10). Of course it was high treason, this act Samuel was about to perform, and Saul yet had many friends and supporters (v. 2). God seems to have permitted Samuel to use one allowed purpose to conceal the real one, but "such a course is one to use but sparingly" (Maclearen). God can and does protect those whom he sends (Pa. 34:27) and "man is immortal till his work is done." Just what or how did not concern Samuel for he had God's promise (v. 3). A step at a time was sufficient and in taking each step Samuel was to tell the exact truth. Thus God guides and tests his servants. Samuel was a judge as well as a prophet (ch. 7:16) and the people of Botheleham were agitated at his arrival. It may be, too, that these elders were fearful of incurring the displeasure of Saul. There was no occasion for fear, as Samuel's purpose was to sacrifice and his mission one of peace even as the angelic messengers who quieted the shepherds with their message of "peace" when "great David's greater son" was unhered into the world. Jesse was a grandson of Ruth the Moabitess, and also a descendant of Rahab the harlot. On his father's side he belonged to the strong tribe of Judah. He was evidently a man of some wealth, certainly in his children. After the sacrifice and before the feast Samuel is made acquainted with the sons of Jessa. The first, Ellab, was tall and good to look upon and at once Samuel fired upon him as the certain choice for Jehovah. II. David Anointed King, vg. 11-13. Seven sons are set aside and yet Samuel did not hear the voice of God's approval. In seeming dismay he asks, "Are here all the children?" Jesse seems to have made a careless and reluctant reply that the youngest was away from home tending sheep. Threuupon Samuel asserts that "we will not sit down (to the sacrificial feast) he be brought hither." It is from such lowly positions that God is constantly promoting men to positions of responsibility and prominence. Witness Carey, Lvlingagon, Moody and a hundred others past and present. David at this time was about fifteen years old (Beecher). His name means "daring," significant of the affection of his mother, whose name is unknown, but to whom David twice makes reference (Ps. 86:18; 116:18). David was short, compared with his brothers, but had bright eyes (v. 12 marg.) and a fair face—a "comedy person" (v. 18). David was agile and strong and though seemingly scouted at by his brothers and neglected by his father it did not pervert his good nature nor turn him from the performance of his dutton. Samuel did not greet David as he had greeted Seh, he may have been disappointed. This gives emphasis to the words in verse 13, "Arise and not him; for this is ha" David is annotated, set apart, for the daughter, but is not equipped nor does he enter upon his office till later. He is not a teacher, and the school was not raised, until David's death. when ye judge to Davet's intention. Venus 15 and 14 tell of the developing contrast in the lives of Seal and David. David the young king, potential only at this time, is a great inspiration to the young of all ages in Kash. (1) He did his lowly work thoroughly; (2) While doing it he sought to cultivate and improve himself (v.12); and (3) He gave himself wholly to God; hence the record "and the Lord is with him" (v.13). 100 Phone, Bemout 2323 Large Padded Vans WE CAN MOVE YOU AS REASONABLE AS PETER BARNEY MOVING AND EXPRESS Shipping and Storage.

Washington, April 9.—-Germany’s in tention to compensate the owners of the American ship William P, Frye, sunk on the high seas with her cargc of wheat by the commerce raider, Prins Mitel Friedrich, has been. for mally communicated to the United States government: < Ambassador. Gerald cabled a» note handed him by the Berlin foreign of. fiée in reply to the recent American ‘communication submitting a claim for an indemnity of $228,059.54, on behalf of the Frye's owners. The foreign office upholds without qualification the legadity under international. law of the raider’s action in sinking the Frye, and bases the lability of. the German government to pay indemnity solely upon the old Prussian-American treaties of 1799 and 1828, which pro- vide that contraband belonging to the mubjecta or citizens of either party cannot be confiscated. by the other, and may be detained or used only in consideration of payment of the full value. ss - Prize Court to Hear Case, In view of this stipulation, the note eays, of course, the American owners must be compensated for their loss. It is pointed out, -however, that the case of necessity must go into a prise court in order that questions of own- ership, cargo, destination, etc., may be formatly established. ie The German position is that the Frye's cargo of wheat was contraband because it was consigned “for orders” to Queenstown, which is declared to be a fortified port of Great Britain. No notice is taken of the fact: that, since the wheat was sold, on route to British citizens, the United States Aled a claim for the vessel ownera nly, this question being left for de- relopment in the prize court. German Reply Prompt. Officials-here. were. somewhat-sur- yrised at the nature of the German note because of the bearing it may lave upon negotiations now in prog- ess between Washington and London ver the virtual blockade of Germany ind Austria declared by the ailies.

London, April 9—A vast German ‘espionage system in.

Similar to Stegier Case. ‘The arrest of Kuepferle haa bared an_ elaborate system of obtaining val. table information of military. and naval plans and transmitting them to the enemy. The feature of the Case is that it reveals the most dan- werous headquarters for dispatohing sples’ to England is located in the United States, ‘The revelations by Stegler, who was sent to jail in New York for hts. con- nection with the false passports, have ‘an important corollary inthe present case. Kuepferle, who is engaged in the woolen business in New: York, Janded at Liverpool and almost im mediately traveled to Ireland, yet: within five days he had accumulated so much information ‘that he consid- ered his mission ended and attempted to leave England for, Holland to de liver” his information to responsible chiefs of the German inteligende de- partment. “ Had Spy's Equipment. When Kuepferle was arrested: ex- tremely vital information was found in his possession.. He was equipped with ail the paraphernalia which mod- ern spydom regards as essential, such as reports, invisible inks, codes, ad- dresses, instructions, etc, thereby laying before the authorities the most complete plan of German espionage which England has-yet discovered... Every ‘one. of. Kuepferie’s move ments, from the moment he landed at Liverpool until just before he was arrested, had been carefully mapped out before he sailed from New York. He knew Just Where to-go in every place he visited. At certain places at a certain time he would make a certain sign, would meet certain: people and receive certain informa- ion. Eyen though Kuepferle’s arrest was onsidered of such importance that it was kept a most profound secret for weeks It was not permitted to inter- ere with the orderly, regular process, of English law. He was arraigned pefore a tribunal in the usual manner, wssigned counsel who was satisfactory o the American consul general, and fter several hearings a prima facie ase of high treason was made out nd he was committed for trial at the entral criminat court: (Old Bailey).

The piece permits of. several musical numbers. “In the Valley of the Moon” by Miss. Burnette; “There's A Mother Waiting for You at’ Home," by Mrs. Moore and-"I'm a Long, Long Way From Home,” by Mr. Bowman are all excellently rendered: ‘The four picka- ninnies go big in their dancing and comic antics.
