MEMBERS OF ST. PAUL TO HONOR DR. BROOKS The officers and members of St. Paul are justly proud of the literary efforts of their distinguished pastor, Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, and plan a hearty ovation and great reception as a token of their esteem and appreciation in ushering in the "Foot Prints of a Black Man in the Holy Land." This celebration will be held at St. Paul Chapel Friday night, April 23, and will be unique and without a parallel in the annals of journalism, as perhaps it will be the first occasion in which a congregation have come together to review and celebrate the literary achievements of their pastor. They realize that the publication of this book is the culmination of years of preparation by the author, who has long aspired to put in print a record of his most eventful travels and observations, and now that the ambition of years has materialized in this alluring story of the Orient, they are moved with one impulse and inspired to make this one of the greatest events in the annals of St. Paul's history. An interesting program will be furnished, Bishop H. B. Parks, D. D., acting as master of ceremonies. The book will be reviewed by Prof. Frank L. Williams, A. M., principal of Sumner High School. Some of the best talent in the city will appear in the musical program. The program to be rendered will be as follows: 1. Music .....St. Paul Choir 2. Invocation ..Dr. Geo. E. Stevens 3. Remarks Bishop H. B. Parks, D. D. 4. Biographical Sketch Mrs. S. J. Smith. Vocal Solo...Mrs. Olivette Smith Address—The Service of Books in Preserving and Promoting Civilization ..Dr. D. W.

Music .....St. Paul Choir Miss Ella Sevier, director of music, assisted by Prof. Gerald Tyler, of Sumner High School. A mammoth general committee of 600 is in charge of preparation for this gala occasion. Mrs. Bell Wilson, General Chairman, Mrs. M. E. Nichols and Mrs. Clara Eston, Assistants; Mrs. Isabelle McKoin Crum, Secretary; Miss Eva Thomason, assistant secretary. A reception committee of fifty young ladies, with Miss Helen Armstrong Chairman, and Miss Daisy Mosely, secretary, are making strenuous efforts to make this a brilliant success. Other committees are as follows: Ice Cream—Mrs. Jennie Fox, Chairman; Mrs. L. E. McCarroll, Assistant. Cake—Mrs. Jennie Harris, Chairman; Mrs. Mary Jordan Gray, Assistant.

Greer, Assistant; Charles Hunter, Secretary, and Col. B. E. Watkins, Manager. The public is cordially invited to assist at these exercises. An opportunity will be given the general public to secure a copy of the book on its initial appearance at this entertainment and it is expected that many will gladly avail themselves of this privilege to add this book to their library, especially since it is the product of Negro genius, and stands almost in a class by itself, having a setting in a land where few Negroes have travelled. The officers and church auxiliaries who are co-operating to launch out their pastor's production on a sea of prosperity and universal favor and popularity are as follows: Board of Trustees—Geo. W. McKoin, President; W. E. Osborne, Secretary. Board of Stewards—Dr. W. D. Scott, Chairman; Mr. E. Hawkins, Secretary.

In the story of his travels to the Holy Land, enitled "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, mountaining, 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 sea to Haifa, the overland route is followed to the Sea of Galilee, from thence through Cana, Nazareth, across the Plain of Esdraelon to 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, thus 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. SUNDAY AT ST. PAUL Rev. W. Sampson Brooks will preach at 11 a. m. At night Prince Umfreana Kaba Rega will speak. Special music will be rendered by the choir. First Baptist To Repeat Easter Program In response to many requests from all over the city, the choir of the First Baptist Church will repeat its Easter musical program at the morning service this coming Sunday. The entire service will be repeated, and Dr. Martyn, the pastor, will again preside at the organ. It will be remembered that all the music was composed by the pastor for Easter Day. The service will start promptly at eleven o'clock and the people are requested to be in their seats at that hour. FIRST BAPTIST NOTES Next Sunday the pastor, Dr. F. F. Martyn, will preach at both services. Morning topic: "The Day of Judgment." Evening subject: "A Bad Bargain."

At times the assemblage was so dense that dancing was almost impossible, yet that "Old Campaigner," Jas W. Grant, who was master of ceremonies, succeeded in carrying out the program as arranged. The dancers were given "Favors" which included many valuable articles. So successful was the affair that the board has decided to make it an annual occurrence.

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 ``` must be shown in a kind and loving 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 run 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 commandments, 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 anxious 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 ingratitude 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. Backsliders 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 Hosea 14:14 is a good passage. "O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. I will heal their backsliding, 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 backslider, but it shows the steps by which he must return, and the royal reception which awaits him. No one needs pity more than the backslider. He is despised 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. --- Oh, you housekeepers who hanker after something a little different that will not add to the "cost of living" have you ever tried: Tiny red peppers to garnish your salad plates and give the touch of desired color, when tomatoes are not to be had, or are prohibitive in price? A center of yellow cheese for the tomato salad that is arranged to represent a polisettia? Halves of canned pears, piled up with white grapes and nuts for a salad in the pale-yellow tones? Or asparagus tips on white lettuce leaves if to get that special coloring you prefer not to use fruit? Rings of green peppers on greenish lettuce, with a garnishing of French peas when an all-green salad is desired? Roquefort cheese, grated, or chopped onion in your French dressing? Cheese, bain-marie, raided from a paste made of cream, chopped nuts and parsley, and seasoned with salt, pepper, a dash of paprika and Worcestershire sauce? Or this same paste used as a filling for sandwiches? Thin bread and butter sandwiches of brown bread to be served with your salad in place of the more orthodox wafers? A sprinkling of paprika on top of the regulation stuffed potatoes? Small white heads of cabbage, boiled and adorned with a cream dressing, instead of the more aristocratic and costly cauliflower? Cabbage or turnips au gratin in place of potatoes cooked in the same fashion? A sauerkraut stuffing for goose or duck if you have any hankering after "Dutch" dishes? A boiled dressing made with cream instead of oil and seasoned with a double quantity of mustard with your Dutch suppers? Tripe with a very highly seasoned cream gravy, or chicken livers broiled with bacon, when you are at your wits' end for something new and not too expensive in the way of meats? Ripe bananas peeled, laid in earthen dish, water to cover, sprinkled with brown sugar and a few drops of lemon juice and baked slowly for about half an hour? If a few chopped nuts or dot of apple jelly are added to each portion the effect is prettier. Use Mild Soap. No strong washing powders or kitchen soaps should be used on linoleum, as they slowly fade the pattern, destroy the dressing, and so make the linoleum look old and grimy, says a Country Gentleman writer. Clear water may be used and mild soaps which are really mild enough to be used as toilet soaps. Wiping up the linoleum with milk has more disadvantages than advantages. The sugar and the fat in the milk seem to glaze the linoleum, but the stinkiness of it will in time make the linoleum hold more dirt and in the end give a grimy appearance. A thin coating of the best varnish twice a year will do much toward keeping the linoleum bright and shiny and preventing wear. New Luncheon Dish. Poach an egg carefully in boiling water to which a squeeze of lemon juice has been added, trim it neatly with a round cutter, mask it with some thick, nicely flavored white sauce, which is still warm, and put it aside to get cold. Dust the egg lightly with flour, brush it over with beaten egg, cover thickly with dried bread crumbs, seasoned with salt and pepper, and fry it quickly (one and a half minutes should be sufficient) in a bath of boiling fat. Serve the egg on a round of buttered toast and garnish the plate with watercress. Veal Croquettes Put two cupfuls of finely chopped veal in a saucepan, add two table-spoonfuls of fine bread crumbs, one teaspoonfuls of butter, the beaten yolks of two eggs, one teaspoonful of onion juice, quarter teaspoonful of salt, one saltspoonful paprika and a speck of mace. Stir the mixture over the fire until thoroughly heated, then set aside to cool. Shape into croqueets, dip in beaten egg, roll in fine crumbs, let stand one or more hours, and fry until well browned. Serve with tomato to sauce. It is suggested that when a tablecloth wears thin around the edge of the table, as it frequently does before showing signs of wear elsewhere, it is a simple matter to cut out the worn strip and to insert in its place a strip of heavy but not necessarily expensive lace. Lacing the Fowl. Instead of sewing up turkey, duck etc., after stuffing, run some toothpicks across the opening and loop up with string. When the fowl is done, first pull the toothpicks out and the string falls off. For Grease Stained Fibre. You will be delighted to see how quickly grease spots will disappear from floors when you apply a little alcohol. 100 Phone, Bomont 2323 Large Padded Vane WE CAN MOVE YOU AS REASONABLE AS PETER BARNEY Prompt Service Phone, NO ONE CAN MOVE PETER MOVING AND EXPRESS Packing, Shipping and Store LEVY GREEN NEGROES IN SECOND HAND CLOTHING Fitted Dress Suite For Give us a Trial 711 North Sixth Street OULVEY'S The Old JEFFERSON AND CUT RAT This Store is often in Shipping and Storage.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION "THE BIRTH OF A NATION" a name of a photo-play which, it is claimed, in Negro in America. Its promoters argue at unusual events in the Reconstruction Period, a dramatization of one of Thomas Dixon's renegade preacher whom New York City has spewed him out, and who has since speeched is designed to increase race hatred and libel. Photo-play itself is not an insult to the whole agency to foster the spirit of lawlessness and is a menace to the morals of any communist genes that are criminally immoral.

A question, the issue will be before us in the must be on our watch, and as soon as the reeve should be met by a united, determined part in no uncertain tones in defense of our interest of law and order. For, just as we are shown here there may be a Negro out to the ground any theatre that would have decency to exhibit "The Birth of a Nation." Protest, the promoters cut one objectionable line.

And if "The Birth of fire, or anywhere else, trouble will follow. The pictures' inciting the hatred of the white or vice versa, but there will be trouble. This is a name of a photo-play which, it is claimed, is a history of the Negro in America. Its promoters argue that it is based on actual events in the Reconstruction Period. In reality, it is a photo-dramatization of one of Thomas Dixon's vile books. Dixon is a renegade preacher whom New York City would not swallow, but spewed him out, and who has since spent his time writing books designed to increase race hatred and libel the Negro. The photo-play itself is not an insult to the whole Negro race, with a tendency to foster the spirit of lawlessness and race retaliation, but it is a menace to the morals of any community, because of certain scenes that are criminally immoral. We are referring to this photo-play because it has been approved by the National Board of Censors and is about to be shown throughout the country. A few cities, be it said to their credit, have listened to the protest of representative colored and white citizens, and forbidden the exhibition. But other cities have scorned the protest and the pictures will be shown. Without question, the issue will be before us in the near future. We must be on our watch, and as soon as the reels arrive in St. Louis they should be met by a united, determined protest that shall ring out in no uncertain tones in defense of our racial progress and in the interest of law and order. For, just as certain as the pictures are shown here there may be a Negro outburst that would bear to the ground any theatre that would have the insolence and indecency to exhibit "The Birth of a Nation." Under protest, the promoters cut one objectionable and questionable scene. This very act was an admission of the character of the entire drama. It should all be cut out. If there is no law to suppress the pictures on their merits—or rather, demerits—there is a law to suppress anything that has a tendency to incite riot and disturb the public peace. And if "The Birth of a Nation" is shown here, or anywhere else, trouble will follow. It may be started by the pictures inciting the hatred of the whites against the colored, or vice versa, but there will be trouble.

But what interests us most is that a Negro, Hon. Oscar De Priest, was elected to the Board of Aldermen. This was the result of unity. The same thing could be done here, or in any other city with a large Negro population, if only the Negroes would get together. This has been the burden of our cry for many months. With a united vote, we could swing the balance in any election and have a representative on any ticket. With a united population, we could sweep segregationists and other discriminators into the rubbish heap. With a united church, we could "save" our people, body as well as soul, socially as well as spiritually. And if we are to exist as a race at all, it will only be as a result of unity.

But should be a reason for not appointing a No have men who are aspiring for these office Two city offices are to be filled in the near future by appointment. One is the position of Associate City Counsellor, and the other is Sergeant-at-Arms of the Board of Aldermen. These two positions, Negroes are candidates for. We understand that the appointing officers are complaining that the Negroes cannot agree among themselves and come as a unit with the endorsement for one man for each place. Of course, a unit on any one candidate would be impossible. But we do not think that should be a reason for not appointing a Negro to the place. We have men who are aspiring for these offices who are fully qualified to fill the office they seek. We have helped in the electing of the Republican ticket; we have been promised these two offices, and we are expecting them. It is a mere matter of justice that we should receive some of the spoils of war. We believe that we are voicing the sentiment of the best element of our population when we urge the appointment of a Negro to each of those positions, as a matter of simple justice. THE ST.

David fought with Saul's enemies but nevertheless was not wanted (29:6-11). His wives being taken captive, he, with 400 men destroyed Ziklag, sending the spoil to his friends in Judah (I Sam 30). Following the death of Saul and Jonathan (II Sam, chapter 1) we read David's words: David's Kingdom, ch. 2:13. It is now seven or eight years since Samuel anointed the young shepherd to be king in Saul's place. David was probably twenty-nine years of age. He had now a fourfold assurance of his throne (a) God's decree (I Sam. 16:11-13); (b) The death of Saul (dh. I:4); (c) God's command (v. 1), and (d) The choice of the people (v. 4). His every step seems to have been led of God, therefore he had made no false moves (James 1:5-7, see also Pa. 19:13, 14). How God by means of the stones in the priest's breastplate made known his will we are not told and it is idle to speculate. We have a better way, the inspired word and the living spirit through which we may receive guidance. Such guidance is conditioned upon obedience (I Sam. 28:6; Acts 5:33). God directed David, after Saul's death to "go up" to Hebron, which means "fellowship." It was here that Abraham, the man of faith, had lived. David thus began his conquest of the land in fellowship with God. David implicitly obeyed God's decree (v. 2), took his family with him and also brought his men with their households. This is a suggestion relative to household fellowship with God. They left nothing behind to lure them back as Lot was lured when he left Sodom. These men had been David's partners in his adversity and are now to share in his glory (Luke 22:28, 29; II Tim. 2:12; Rom. 5:17, 18). (2) David's Diplomacy, 2:5-7. It was good politics for David to honor these men of Jabez, yet he was honest and sincere for he honored Saul as his rightful and God-anointed sovereign (I Sam. 24:4-8; 26:7-11). These men had shown kindness to Saul and now Jehovah would show kindness to them (v. 6). As we sow we reap (Matt. 5:7; 6:14; 15; II Tim. 1:16-18). David took palms to inform them that he had been chosen king but assures them that he would strengthen them. As they had been faithful to Saul, let them support the one who had been anointed in his stead. To have adopted any other policy would have alienated their support. (3) Ish-bosheth's Kingdom, 2:1-11. As contrasted with this God-directed kingdom of David's was the man-directed kingdom of Ish-bosheth. His name means, "name of shame." He was about forty years of age. Saul's oldest son, but not his intended successor. Ish-bosheth was: (a) selected by man (v. 8); (b) ruled by man (v. 9) and (c) made war upon God's elect (x. 17, ch. 3:1). He only reigned two years and his kingdom in the northern part of the land was separated from that of David by that portion in the center controlled by the Philistines. Abner's untimely death at the hand of Joab (ch. 3) deprived Ish-bosheth of a leader. He was slain by his own servants and his kingdom became a part of David's. II. David, King of Israel, 5:15. David passed through seven and one-half years of delay in his progress towards the throne. It was not long after ib-bosheth's death that a great assembly met at Hebron. It was a truly national gathering. Every tribe sent soldiers—280,000 in all—and the elders of the people were the spokesmen. They proclaimed David "bone of their bone" (v. 1) and that even while Saul was king, David had been their real shepherd (v. 13). But better still, they recognised David as God's chosen successor to Saul and proclaimed to all men that they had lovingly accepted his choice. The story of David's conquest of Jerusalem and the establishment of the seat of his government at that place is interesting and suggestive and should be studied before next Sunday's lesson is considered. After being anointed in Hebron David began at once to subdue theland. Thus we see the loose tribal government molded into a powerful, dominant and respected kingdom. David was (1) Patient, awaiting God's time; (2) Energetic; (3) Courageous; (4) Tactful; (5) Trusting; (6) Loyal, to treachery and to God; (7) Patriotic; (8) Obsedient, and above all, (9) Religious, for we read, "the Lord is with him" (I Sam. 18:18), and, "David wanded greater and greater; for the Lord, the Lord of hosts, was with him" (II Sam. 5:10). These principles, faithfully adhered to will bring success in A. D. 1915 as well as B. C. 1928. The Best Objective, Salvation By NEV, J. H. RALSTON Secretary of Compensation Department Mount Mills Institute, Chicago TEXT—I press toward the mark for the prime of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus—Phil. sitt. In seaking an objective, the principle that nothing absurd be accepted but the best, should be adopted. When men were thinking deeply, and the great doctrines of the Protestant faith were being put into creedal form, it was declared that the chief end of man was the glory of God, and nothing has transpired since to show that this was an error, but every- but the best, should be adopted. When men were thinking deeply, and the great doctrines of the Protestant faith were being put into creedal form, it was declared that the chief end of man was the glory of God, and nothing has transpired since to show that this was an error, but every thing has shown most conclusively that the statement was justified. A man who lives with the glory of God in view will not, cannot fall. Nothing is much more disheartening than to watch the multitudes, especially in our crowded cities, who seem to have no goal in view. They seem to exist for the moment—butterflies that flit before you for an instant and then are gone. If other companies of people are considered, the fact still confronts one. If bread and butter can be secured, there is no more concern; but the swine get to that point. Young people in the schools may have a somewhat larger appreciation of their mission or goal, but must go forward with nothing in view. In a small volume recently issued there is this quotation: "The world stops to let the man pass who knows whither he is going." That man has an objective, a goal, commands universal respect, and the world gives him passage. If this sermon falls into the hands of some young person, whether he is a Christian or not, let him know that he must have a goal in view or he will fall in life, and if the goal is not one that relates him to God the failure will be the greater and more deplorable. And, if a person has a goal and resolutely keeps his eye on it, he will not be diverted by anything. If the goal is that set before him in Paul's "failness of the stature of Christ," he will not be diverted by any of the many religions now seeking the attention of people throughout the world. To him, the religion of Paul, Luther, Calvin and Wesley will be accepted as reliable and worthy of following until the goal is reached. In the text, Paul, who was a man doing only one thing at a time, said that he pressed toward the mark for the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus. Without considering the strictly theological bearing of these words, let us note the source of the call. He who calls is God, who knows man, his capacities and possibilities, and sets before him 'its best, and he calls to him to make the attempt to reach it. Every person, old or young, should remember that it's God that is calling—net man, nor the greatest of men—and when God calls who dare be indifferent? To what is the call and what is the goal? It is to the realization of Jesus Christ in all his fulness. Paul speaks in a certain place of "the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ," which is to say, Christ, in all that he is and may be to us. Presuming that that fulness applies to all that Christ offers, let us know that to attain this two things at least must be kept in mind. Jesus as Savior and Lord. First, the recognition and acceptance of Jesus Christ as a savior, personal and sufficient. This involves the surrender of the intellect, the heart, and the will; in fact, the surrender of the life. Second, it is a recognition of the kingship, or lordship, of Christ. Many seem to be willing to accept Christ as savior, but they do not recognize him as Lord. The failure of the latter utterly vitifies the former—no savior unless Christ be Lord. This carries us back to the realm of the Puritans, who saw that the chief end of man was the glory of God, for man who accepts Jesus Christ as savior and Lord makes every thought, word and action tend to his glory and his honor. This will naturally lead to the realization of man's goal—companionship and partnership with Jesus Christ. The realization of Paul's prayer can only partially be acquired on this earth, but the perfect realization will be when we are with him where he is. This should be the ultimate goal—to be with Christ. The goals of life which seem attractive and in some senses worthy soon pass like the chaplet on the brow of the ancient athlete, but there is a goal for everyone which, if reached, will secure a crown, a golden crown, that is precious and durable. Have a goal; have a vision; secure an objective; keep your eye steadily on it and you will reach it, and, by all means, let the objective of all be—the attachment of the nature of the values of Christ.

I positively guarantee to give results in six treatments. To prove this I take the length when first treatment, then every four weeks after. Also I guarantee to restore gray hair, in sixty days, to its natural color and to improve one in appearance from ten to fifteen years younger looking with my face cosmetics. I have known that my Rosier Hair Grower will grow hair when all other preparations have failed. A FEW STATEMENTS I have been bald in the temples for fifteen years and had never found anything that would restore my hair until I used Rosier's Hair Grower. I am all praises for it. Mrs. Irene Miller, 6024 N. Broadway, St. Louis, Mo. I have been bald in temples since quite young. I am 54 years of age. Rosier's Hair Grower has completely restored my hair. I cheerfully recommend it. Mrs. Dora Proby, When I commenced using Rosier's Gray Hair Restorer almost every hair in my head was gray. After sixty days' use I have not one. I recommend it to anyone who wishes to restore the color of their hair. Wm. Stewart I have used Rosier's—Face Cosmetics and it has given perfect satisfaction. It has given me the appearance of ten or fifteen years younger. I shall never be without it. Mrs. Hetty Parker, 820 S. 22nd St., St. Louis, Mo. THE ST.

MAJORS, PRES. I have a friend by the name of Mrs. Sarah Miller, and have been personally friendly to her for over three years, and during the time she wore a wig. I have been treating her hair for about two months, and now she has taken the wig off, and uses her own hair except a small piece in the back. This treatment is wonderful, I must say. Another lady by the name of Mrs. Emma Tuks, when I first saw the lady I was afraid to touch her hair, I thought I would burn the scalp, her hair was so short, and if you had seen her before I began to treat her scalp you would not believe it was the same head; it was the worst one I have met with. I will mention some more next time. Your agent, Mrs. Muriel Hall, Tampa, Fla. Dear Madam: Yes, Nineteen Foutteen, in the month of August, I was visiting my friend, Mrs. Emma B. Wills; she and I were looking over the Voice of the People, a newspaper, and, found Major's advertised hair grower, and we both decided to work for the Oxford College. I have tried everything for my hair and nothing did it any good, until I began using Major's Hair Oils, and I feel proud of my hair today, and feel more than able to speak for it anywhere and any time. I can truly say it is the real thing and does the work. And I will say to all ladies, let us work hard, and use W. L. Majors' face creams, hair oils and powder, and look good. Your Oxford Complexion Cream is among the best I have ever used, it shall always be on my dressing table, and you may be sure that your number of customers will be made more numerous by my advocating the use of it among my many friends and acquaintances. Yours truly, G. E. Bostwick, Murphysboro, Ill. Sir:— I have seven patrons who are taking the full course of treatments; they are perfectly satisfied with the treatments. Says your representation of different articles just as represented. I have a gentleman patient, who has ring-worms in face, I have been treating him two weeks and have taken all out of face excepting one. I feel that I am in a growing and prosperous business. Your chemicals are wonderful, and I am more anxious to go on and do everything for the future success of your business and my growth. Yours very truly, (Miss) Peoria Black, Parsons, Kan. Dear Sir: I can say, truthfully, that I have seen a great many who have/had treatments from others firms, but none to equal the Oxford treatments. Had I taken some other course of hair treatment as many of my friends wanted me to, and afterward seen the work of your course, I would have been very jealous. Your treatment does just what it says it will do, and to be without it I would miss the very pride of womanhood. So many of my friends are wonderfully surprised since they have seen my work, and say they mean to take the Oxford Course of Hair Culture. One or two ladies that are having treatments from other agents have already said they were going to take the Oxford treatment of me and buy some of the oils. It works like a charm. Thanking you for what you have done for me, and looking to do something for you in the future. I am, yours very truly, Mrs. Annie Handy, Quinton, Ala. Dear Madam: Madam:— My friends, and myself, think there is no other course like this one. We like it better and better. I can't help but smile whenever I open a box of Oxford Pressing Oil. My friends are always glad to hear of me making a new order; it is doing a wonderful work on some heads I deal with. I am compelled to say the Oxford hair preparations are among the best on the market, as you would certainly have heard from me in case your course of treating the scalp had not pleased or helped me. I think it no more than fair to let you know that the opposite is the case. Now, when I say that I am pleased with all that came to me from you, I am speaking the sentiments of my friends, for those that have received treatments assist me greatly in advertising my work. Now that I am out again I am determined to do all I can for the work. M. B. Hair Grower For sale by St. Louis druggist. Price, per box, 25 cents; by mail, 28 cents.

BOOKER WASHINGTON There is an abundance of good talent showing at the Booker Washington this week. Turpin's Artists are setting a high standard which only the best acts can maintain and the result is a bill of rare entertainment. Mr. Turpin's company of stars are putting on "Samba in New York" this week. Tim Moore is in the title role and as usual keeps the audience in a fit of laughter. The scene is laid in a cabaret Sanbo arrives on the Great White Way, with a roll of bills, and is steered to the cabaret by the ever present "bunco" man, in the person of W. Henri Bowman. Here he is made to believe all know him and he continues to give away his bills until all are gone and he is thrown out. He returns later, holds up the crowd, gets his money back and robs the house. The several song numbers incidental to the piece are rendered by Mrs. Moore, Miss Burnette and Miss Eloise Johnson. Joseph Burrell, as the waiter does well. The act goes big. Tom Mills has a repertoire of three good, tuneful song numbers which he renders excellently and scores a hit. Honsley and Nicholas, a musical comedy team, put over some nice work with saxophones, cornet and violin. They mix a line of comedy that is very rich and takes well. This is one of, if not the best, instrumental teams on the road. Ricks and Talbert, a sister team, elaborately costumed, score nicely in singing, dancing and talking. They make a decided hit in their illustrated song, "Oh, What a Night." Tim Moore says he has challenged Jack King for a fight at the Future City Club in the near future. THE ST.
