St. Louis has got the goods and can accommodate the guests. The encampment will bring 7,000 uniformed knights and from forty to fifty thousand visitors. It will be the biggest event since the World's Fair and is considered of such magnitude that individual firms have guaranteed a subscription as high as $500 each. Gen. Butler and his men will leave here Saturday night with the united backing of the entire city; and when they begin to bombard the big Columbus gathering with St. Louis灾情 that will be but one escape.

Sundays, 9 to 11 a. m, 2 to 4 p. m. The Connectional Council of the A. M. E. Zion connection is holding a most enthusiastic session at the new Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, Garrison and Lucas Aves, of this city. No doubt, word has reached, all the general officers and church workers generally of this branch of the church, that to miss this opportunity to see the finest equipped church occupied by Negroes in the world, they would do themselves a great injustice. Surely that was the thought of those who came. From Maine to California they did come to make up the large gathering of church workers. As was stated in the Argus last week, the regular program was carried out. Each speaker, however, found time to congratulate Dr. Shaw and his faithful congregation for their acquisition of such splendid church property. Some were heard to say after they had gone through all of the departments connected with the church. "The half was not told us." Sunday will be Love Feast at 10 a. m. Regular preaching at 11 o'clock. Friday night at Crystal City Bishop Alexander Walters will speak at Crystal City Friday night. His subject will be the "Open and Closed Doors to the Negro of America."

Friday morning, August 6, marked the close of what probably was the most successful and harmonious session in the history of District Grand Lodge No. 8, G. U. O. of O. F., of Missouri and jurisdiction. Promptly at 10 o'clock Tueaday morning, August 1, the District Grand Lodge was called to order by District Grand Master, T. B. Wattins, of Kansas City, who, in his opening address, impressed upon the members the importance of adhering strictly to business, as upon this principle would depend the life of the Order. It was evident from the beginning that the session would be one of harmony and before the close it was the unanimous opinion of the members of the District Grand Lodge that Brother Wattins was the most popular Grand Master that has ever presided over District Grand Lodge No. 8. Simultaneously with the convening of the District Grand Lodge came the District Grand Household No. 15 presided over by Miss Leona Williams, D. G. M. N. G., of Cape Girardeau, and the convocation of the Grand Staff Council of the 14th Regiment, presided over by Col. Wm. J. Floyd, of St. Louis. The local Odd Fellows left nothing undone in making the stay of the delegates and visitors a pleasant one. The Odd Fellows' Hall, in which the delegates were held, was newly decorated inside and out and gave a very pleasant appearance. Tuesday evening at 8:30 o'clock the delegates and friends assembled at the Union Memorial M. B. Church, 28th and Pine Streets, for a public exercise and demonstration. The song service was led by the Odd Fellows choir. In the absence of Fred Frank L. Williams, principal of Sumner High School, the welcome address on behalf of the citizens was delivered by Mr. W. H. Davis, and responded to by Grand Master T. B. Watkins. Welcome address on behalf of the Lodges, W. S. Brabham, M. D.; response by C. N. Wilson, G. D., of Poplar Bluff. The welcome address on behalf of the business men was delivered by Mr. W. C. Gordon, who, aside from being one of the oldest and most popular undertakers of the city, owns and operates a steam laundry which is second to none in the city. The response was made by Grand Lodge Attorney, W. C. Heuston, of Kansas City, one of the most successful and popular lawyers in the state. Miss Anna B. Thomas delivered the welcome address on behalf of the Households, which was responded to by Miss Leona Williams, D. G. M. N. G., of Cape Girardeau Mrs. Smith, of Household No. 50, favored the audience with a beautiful solo, and a quartette from the choir rendered a splendid selection. Rev. B. F. Abbott, the pastor, said the benediction. Wednesday morning was given over to sight-seeing. Upon special invitation from the management of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Ass'n, the biggest concern of its kind in the world, the delegates and visitors made a trip through the plant and were shown every courtesy possible by those in charge. By previous arrangement of Mr. L. L. F. Ford, a clerk in the St. Louis post office and one of the leading Odd Fellows of the state, the delegates proceeded to the main post office building, which is conceded to be the model post office of the U. S., and there they were met by five guides who showed them through every department and explained the workings of each. It is said that this is the largest Colored delegation that has ever passed through the post office, and much credit is due Postmaster Selph and those in charge for the many courtesies shown the delegation. Thursday afternoon the street parade was held and was pronounced by all one of the finest demonstrations ever given by any secret order. The parade started promptly at 4 o'clock and was led by the Odd Fellows' Juvenile Band, followed by the Patriarchs of the 14th Regiment in their full dress uniform. Then came the officers of the D. G. L. and D. G. H. H., followed by the delegates and members of the order in automobiles. Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock the Sisters of the Household of Ruth were tendered a grand reception by Mrs Malone, proprietor of the Poro College. The reports of the Grand Lodge officers showed the Order to be in a healthy financial condition, for which CAPT. CLARENCE W. SALTER Who was elected Lieutenant Colonel of the 14th Patriarchic Regiment, at the Grand Staff Session held at Camp Salter in Crystal City, August 2 to 6, with jurisdiction over Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas.

PRICE 5 CENTS TURPIN DID NOT TAKE CONSTABLE OFFICE BY FORCE Only Four Friends Present at Time. No Cause for Such Action. Powers not in City. Position Practically Vacant. Daily Paper Promises to Correct Misleading Statements. Supreme Court Issues Writ of Prohibition. An article appearing in the Post-Dispatch Monday relative to the Turpin-Powers constable contest case maliciously stated that "Turpin attempted to seize all the papers in the office, after obtaining a commission from 'Mayor Kiel and City Register Whitter. Powers resisted his efforts.' The article goes farther to state "The courtroom of Justice Schular was surrounded by more than 300 negro friends of Turpin Saturday, and for a time trouble was expected." The real truth is, that when Chas. Turpin walked into the office on Thursday to take his seat there was no opposition and no cause for force even had he prepared for same. Powers had not been seen around the place since the day before Judge Rassieur's decision and has not been there since. The only negroes in the building when Mr. Turpin took charge were his brother Tom Turpin, his attorney, Homer G. Phillips and a friend, Walter Nevels. At no time since have more than four or five negroes chanced to be there at the same time. Turpin was not "advised by City Counsellor Davis and Attorney George B. Webster, to take possession of the office by force of arms," as the article further reads. There was no cause for such action. Mr. Turpin and his legal adviser, Mr. Phillips, protested to the city editor of the Post-Dispatch on account of these false statements and were promised that a retraction would appear in Wednesday's editions, but the promise had not been kept when the Argus went to press. Powers has taken an appeal and the Supreme Court, has granted a writ of prohibition returnable in October, that will have the effect of restraining Mr. Turpin, for the present, from exercising the office of Constable of the Fourth District. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks Returns For the Excursions and Picnic, Monday, August 16 Dr. W.

THEN AGAIN THE PRICE OF THESE LOTS IS RIGHT. HISTORY proves, to their eternal honor, that the Catholics were the first in America to advocate the Freedom of all sects to worship at any shrine they chose to bend a knee. Of all the cavaliers of Maryland, none were more noble and none adored Liberty more than Charles Carroll, who, with his kinsman, Archbishop John Carroll, strove for the hereditary rights of mankind to practice Civil and Religious Liberty. Carroll was one of the richest and most learned men in the Colonies and when he proudly affixed his name to our immortal Declaration of Independence he courted the confiscation of his vast estates. A bystander facetiously remarked, as he did so, "There goes a few millions." He was elected to the National Convention which adopted the Constitution of the United States, but-illness forbade his attendance. His cousin, though, Daniel Carroll, signed our National Law, which forever guarantees to Americans Civil, Religious and Personal Liberty BREWED BY BREWERS IN NEW YORK **TEXT—Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and whose spirit there is no gula—Palm 32:1, 2. Psalm 32 is supposed to have been written after the visit of Nathan to David. The guilty king has found pardon for his sin and here voices his gladness. In our text, three words are used to describe our offenses against God: "tranquestion" means rebellion against authority; "stin" is missing the mark, both of God's standard and our anticipations: "inquity" is doctor- David the guilty king has found pardon for his sin and here voices his gladness. In our text, three words are used to describe our fenses against God: "transgression" means rebellion against authority; "sin" is missing the mark, both of God's standard and our anticipations; "iniquity" is distortion, crookedness. Likewise, three words are used to describe God's gracious dealing with sin: it is "forgiven." lifted up as a burden; "covered," and so hidden from sight; it is not "imputed," but canceled like a debt. Men speak lightly of forgiveness until a deep sense of sin settles upon them, then they wonder whether their guilt may be put away; they no longer question the Bible teaching on the punishment of sin, but find it difficult to believe in its forgiveness. For such troubled souls we have good news. To begin with, the Bible revelation of God is full of comfort for them. He is "the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering and abundant in goodness and truth; keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin." God was revealed in Jesus Christ, and we knew our Lord's attitude to the penitent during the days of his flesh. The woman who bathed his feet with tears, the shrinking adulteress, publicans and sinners, all attest that there is forgiveness with the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Peace Through the Cross. Peace Through the Cross. But it is at Calvary, especially, that assurance for the penitent is found. Such a soul will not be satisfied lightly. He demands that, for the awfulness of his sin, some awful separation be made. But the cross fully meets this demand. God's Son, our substitute, holy and undefiled, hung there, and all God's waves and billows swept over him. Calvary tells of love, indeed, but it also tells of wrath, for the wrath of God against sin exhausted itself in the dark hour of the crucifixion. This is the meaning of the Savior's cry, "My God, my God, why past thou forsaken me!" That such provision has been made is further attested by the experience of men. Luther tells us that the pains of hell got hold upon him, but when he looked to the wounds of Christ he found peace. John Wesley, after seeking rest for his soul for years, trusted in Christ and felt his heart strangely warmed and assured. Spurgeon was so happy when he experienced forgiveness that he wanted to tell the crowds of the fold about it. These men were not deflued; the experience of Luther led to the Reformation, that of Wesley to the Evangelical revival and that of Spurgeon to years of a fruitful ministry. Sin Against the Holy Ghost. But though so clearly attested, we occasionally meet one who declares this blessing is not for him, for he has committed the sin of which Christ said it "hath never forgiveness"—the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. But what is this sin? As the result of careful study one writer gives this definition: "The blasphemous manifestation in word or deed of an internal state of soul to which a man has arrived by a continual resistance and increasing opposition to the clearest and most undoubted revelation of God's spirit; which state, when once attained, is one of contemptuous and malicious hatred of all that pertains to the Son of God and which, by its very nature, is bound to manifest itself as such." We never met a soul, troubled over this sin, who gave evidence of having descended to such depths of wilful opposition to Christ. Indeed, one who has committed this sin will not be distressed over it, and the fact of distress is itself an encouragement. Over against all our fears stands the word of Christ: "Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out." How we should love him who forgives so much! the psalmist says, "There is forgiveness with thee that thou mayest be feared," fear here meaning reverent love. A story is told of General Havelock which illustrates this text. One of his soldiers violated regulations and continued to do so in spite of discipline. Someone asked the general if he had "tried forgiving" the offender, and the suggestion was acted upon. The soldier was sent for, and came defiant, expecting another reprimand. He was surprised when his officer said, kindly: "Johnstone, I have determined in the queen's name to forgive you all these offenses." He went away a subdued and changed man and gave no further trouble. (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course. The Moody Bible institute of Chicago.) LESSON TEXT-1 Kings 12:23-32 GOLDEN TEXT-Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor say likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; thou shalt not bow down thyself down unto them, nor serve them. Ex. 294, 1a. Whether Jeroboam sacrificed Israel's rebellion or was summoned home because of his being known as an opponent to Israel, we cannot say. He must have remembered Ahijah's prophecy (11:29-40) and he had another prophet on his side, Shemaiah (12:22-24), though Ahijah afterwards deserted him (14:1-18). In Egypt, Jeroboam had learned of the worship of the bull Apis and upon setting up his kingdom, saw at once the need of centering the religious life of the people elsewhere than in Jerusalem.

Given these ten tribes by God (11:21) the people had chosen Jeroboam without seeming consultation with God, and the result was a tragic future for the Hebrews. David's monarchy lasted scarcely two generations. Rehoboam's second attempt at coercion (12:21-24) is rebuked and he settles down in Judea but fortifies many cities (II Chron. 11:5-12; I Kings 12:24; 14:17). Jeroboam likewise built cities. Shechem and Penuel, but the result of the schism was a weakened people and Israel was the first to be carried into captivity and to extinction as a nation. Defensed cities are not adequate safety for a nation (11:38; 2 Chron. 20:20; Zech. 1:4, 5). Witness Lieve and Antwerp. As a matter of political prudence Jeroboam's scheme of removing the center of worship from Jerusalem succeeded admirably. The center of gravity of a man and of a nation is that place where he centers his worship. The temple had no image, and his setting up of his images of bulls was a backward step, though doubtless it was regarded as best for the nation. Jeroboam's fatal error was in deflecting the people from the invisible Jehovah to the visible creations of their own hands. Mankind always prefers to trust to their own devices and to plan their own deliverance rather than to trust in God. The evidence of our trust in God is to obey him. Note Jeroboam took counsel, not as did Rehoboam, of the aged or the young, but "in his heart." We are not to lean to our own understanding but upon the Holy Spirit (John 16:12). Man is "slow of heart" and that one at all familiar with Hebrew history should repeat the mistake Aaron made is scarcely to be understood (Ex. 23:4-8). The errors and "isms" of today are but a repetition of the false teachings of former days dressed in a new garb, labeled with a new name; such is the deceitfulness of the human heart (Jer. 17:9). Jeroboam's excuse was plausible enough (v. 28) and appealed to the ever-present weakness of the human heart to seek some easier way of serving God. But man's way always becomes the hardest way. Jeroboam today would be classed as a "liberal" and held up as a "broad-minded man."

Jeroboam was not introducing a new God but a new way of worship. One step always leads to another, and to fully establish this new way, and at the same time entirely to control the situation, he selected from among all the people" priests who were to carry on Jehovah's worship. God had selected the sons of Levi and specially ordained them for this service (Num. 2:10). When the devil introduces a new religion, or any false idea of Christ, or the Bible, he always appeals to sacred memories, or else claims a "modern expression of the truth." Jeroboam not only chose those who would be beholden to himself, but he also selected positions in his kingdom, at either end, each of which was easily accessible. Thus to build and thus to select others than the sons of Aaron as priests was expressly forbidden. But such is the natural perversity and stubbornness of the human heart that it readily follows its leaders into all sorts of apostasy and error (Rom. 8:7). Jeroboam also changed (v. 32) the feast ordained of God on the 15th day of the seventh month (Lev. 23:33, 34) to one occurring in the eighth month. No possible appeal of local interests warranted any such substitution; to obey is better than to modify (Matt. 15:6; Mark 7:18).

The Main Teaching. Jeroboam's chief purpose was not the glory of God, but this new religion was for personal safety and glorification. His cannaughty devised program became the agent of his own and the nation's destruction (13:34; 14:7-11; 1 Kings 10:29, 31), and his oppressive title has become "Which made Israel to shm." Craft and trickery succeeded for a time, but only those who obey God in all things build on a solid and lasting foundation. "Nothing in this world is worth doing wrong for." Boys do not succeed by breaking the rules of the game. a ee eee ee ee ae Se eee ee ener ee eee Se oo ae : ; frig l, Rigas, eas ec Beene CEE ES — Peer ae: ees ar : ARGUS se of heck Se eee opt st. youl ore a — at — . a ‘ . st tid appe called PWVhilc r. 4 Age es I ern | PMR | cs: Recutbeons oeine te she iitmatpene noe eS “ae!

Whi should they vote in our interest if we manifest no interest ?, -\nd- that is just what will defeat us—that thousands of white people will not vote at all. The forces of the enemy are splendidy organized and financed. Our forces are being organized, but as yet we are not financed. We have got to appeal to all our people to help us.. When the ap- peal reaches you, we expect you to go down deep into your pocket and give until you feel it. Dg, 8 ae gop The situation is most serious. The need is most urgent._The danger is impending, and it is now time to do something. THE USE OF FORCE , One of the daily papers. published a report of a dash in the Office of the constable of the Fourth District, a day or two ago. II was said-that when Mr.-Turpin-went to-take possession, under- the recent Court decision, Mr. Powers refused to vacate. . We will not stop here to deny the truth of the report—for it is false from start'to finish, We want merely to show the absurd- ity of the charge that ‘Mr. Turpin would use force, or that the City Counsellor would advise him to use force, * Mr. Turpin’s own good sense, and that of,any other intelligent Negro, would have told him that a show of force would have done, not only himself, but the whole race, an untold harm, ’ he Law is superior to force. This ‘has been, all along, the unanswerable Negro argument against lynching, night-riding and oppression in gengral. How could we appeal to the law if we ourselves did not respect it? How could we expect to be dealt with peaceably and legally€if we should overtide law and use force? + The daily paper which published this falsehood could’ not for a moment believe that the St. Louis Negro has not sense enough to:know that any show of force on our part would knock the very props from under our position against all, forms of mob violence: We know how quickly the passions of all men are aroused “how, upon the smallest provocation, blood-is shed, and how almost incurable is the wound which results. - We know that law is superior to force, and that in. the end justice triumphs. 3 Did we not believe it, we would stop all our protests and agi- tation against lynching and-other forms of mob yiolence, and meet force with force. ¥ GREETING nal Clarion,” a local contempora n the journalistic field last Saturd weet in size and makeup, it -ente th a declaration of principles bez be seen how ‘true in practice. eld for the “Clarion,” -if it stays fraternal orders need an organ— If this new and ambitious jo: an to cement our fraternal societi The “Fraternal Clarion,” a local contemporary made its jin- itial pate in the journalistic field last Saturday. A modest sheet in size and makeup, it enters upon its un- known career with a declaration of principles beautiful in theory, but it remains to be seen how ‘true in practice. ‘There is a field for the “Clarion,”-if it stays in and cultivates that. field: The fraternal orders need an organ—a fearless, clear- ringing clarion. If this new and ambitious journal accomplish nothing more than to cement our fraternal societies,’ create among them a real spirit of fraternity, weld them into one mighty umtit and speak out for them in the interest of our common betterment and progress, or let the fraternal orders speak through it, it will have fulfilled 2 splendid mission. s » In a spirit of friendliness we would advise that the “Fraternal Clarion” live true to its name and declared purpose—that is, rep- resent and be the organ of the fraternities and be their trumpe voice—their clarion, p S ae : But if it attempt to cover the whole field of news jourdblism and thus dissipate its energies; if it grter into competition with . older and well-established newspapers’ in a field already covered if it become a mere tool of partisan politics, or a medium for per sonal aggrandisement, it is destined to the ignominious failtre which has been. the lot of its journalistic. predecessors... » We wish the “Fraternal 1 Mrcomerptegty gm 0 Seek seelte: seid eles: AE — eet 1 DR.

The attraction being generally entertaining, but exceptionally artistic in spots. Miss Susie Sutton, a native of Cuba, has often been proclaimed the greatest character actress on the Colored vaudeville stage. This is also our conviction, and she is always warmly welcomed when she comes to St. Louis. This week Miss Sutton, as usual, is handsomely costumed. She sings a couple of songs and does some neat dancing. It is in her closing number, however, that she gives us a flash of her art. In this she portrays a woman giving her husband a tongue lashing. The bit of imitation is true to life and is presented with a style that well brings out the finer points in this lady's talent. It goes straight home to her hearers and wins fervent applause. Dude Kelley and Amon Davis always bring something new and worth while. Kelly is almost without a peer as a straight comedian. He is a wonderful buck dancer and carries a dignified air throughout. Davis, as a black face comedian, is bursting with fun. His alphabet sermon is a scream. Their talk goes big and they are a big hit in their song and dance performances. Mills and Frisby have an act composed of excellent dancing, good singing and comedy dialogue. The team is full of ginger and is being generously applauded for some neat and artistic work. Little Jeff, formerly of Jeffrys and De Lyons, is a miniature edition of a Sunday comic magazine. Jeff is an exact prototype of that character in "Mutt and Jeff." His monologue on the Penitentary Convict is full of humor. He possesses a good voice and makes a decided hit in his sentimental closing song, "We All Grow Old In Time." Jeff is comical enough to please anyone. Miss Ruth Heath, pianist at the Booker Washington, is working again, after a three weeks' illness.

WALTON BLUES WIN AGAIN The Walton Blues again defeated the Maroon Giants last Sunday. Young Phillips went to the hill for the Blues and started the Maroons off with zeroes. He worked fine for three innings, but in order to get away from the Blues, King George took the mound and handed the Maroons a nest of goose eggs, winning 2 to 0. The Blues lineup was: Jackson I. f., H. Colman, s. s., R. Davis, 1 b., J. King, r. f., N. Knight, c., H. Jackson, 3 b., F. Tolbert, c. f., G. Ross, 2 b., C. Phillips, p.

Whittier William Hussey, proprietor of the Alabama Kitchen, at 1039 N. Whitier, conducted a unique series of entertainments week July 25 in celebration of the success of his west end cafe, Mr. Hussey designated a special night for popular features and gave away to the patrons plenty of good things to eat and drink, including watermelon, ice cream and barbecued meats. Monday was mothers and children's day; Tuesday, S. M. T.; Wednesday, automobile owners and drivers; Thursday, Original Ostende Social Club; Friday, general night for societies and clubs; and Saturday, political In addition to the good eats the guests were entertained with up-to-date cabaret from 5 p. m until midnight each day. The entire arrangement was a most successful affair, but Mr. Hussey regrets that some of the societies invited failed to send a representative and that on mothers' and children's day the children came, but their mothers were absent. Although 15 gallons of ice cream had been provided for the children on that day, a great portion was wasted. Mr. Hussey is conducting a sanitary cake, serving pure and wholesome food, and it will pay west end residents to visit him and watch his advertisements, for this crafty caterer always has something original up his sleeve and may expose something worth considering any time.

Lady Attendant. Work Mediums one and frivolous persons are only wearing time calling on Pref. Giadestone. Strangely fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated lips of this most interesting man whose journey of life has already taken him through all the rest of the world, from Africa and Europe. It seems, indeed, as if his knowledge must come from that mysterious world of which we all would know, but longing, cannot know. He looks far away into the dim mysterious future—the great beyond—across the dark chasm which separates the human-body from the fitting soul—and that which is to be told.
