TRUTH ABOUT NAT. BAPTIST CONVENTION No Demonstration by Forces. Associated Press Reports Exaggerated. Split Due to Factional Fight Only Temporary. Next Meeting in Savannah, Ga. (By Special Correspondence.) The 35th annual meeting of the National Baptist Convention opened in Chicago, Wednesday morning, September 8, and closed Monday evening, the 13th. The opening sessions were marked by scenes of great disturbance, which brought discredit upon the convention, though due largely, to the selfishness and greed of a few men. But the published reports sent out through the Associated Press, were gross exaggerations, written with the usual purpose of trying to ridicule everything the Negro does. There have been religious gatherings of white people where pandemonium reigned, blows were struck and permanent divisions occurred. Had all this happened in Chicago it would have been no more than the writer has witnessed at white conventions. But, it did not happen. After the opening session, the work of the convention went on smoothly to the end, nor could the opening disturbance have occurred had not a certain fact, knowing itself to be in the wrong, and fearing unfavorable action, come with all plans made to split the convention. They did not succeed however. When they found they could not control affairs, they walked out with a few henchmen and sympathizers and organized an opposing convention in a neighboring church. The National Baptist Convention proceeded with its work, re-elected Dr. E. C. Morris president, mapped out a constructive program for the year, and arranged to handle in a dignified and legal manner the trouble which culminated in the riot of Wednesday morning. It is generally known that this trouble concerns the management of the publication board at Nashville and the connection with it of Dr. R. H. Boyd. It was the Boyd faction which tried to split the convention, and did so—at least temporarily. The routine work of the convention is not of general public interest, hence it is not detailed here. A signal event of the big meeting was the masterly address of Dr. Booker T. Washington on Friday night, to a crowd which filled the immense armory. Conjointly with the convention was the 15th annual session of the women's body, held at Olivet Baptist Church. Two thousand delegates were present from all parts of the country, and every session was marked by dignity, poise, self-control and religious fervor. The entire program was carried out as per schedule and the Baptist women set an example that the men would do well to follow. Their convention ended Sunday night. The next National Baptist Convention will be held at Savannah, Ga. St. Louis was well represented at the Chicago assembly in the person of practically every Baptist minister of the city. CHANGES IN EVENING SCHOOL PLANS Plans for a reduced expenditure in the evening schools which will involve some curtailment in the scope of their activities were adopted by the Board of Education at its meeting Tuesday evening, September 14. According to the plan submitted and approved by the Board, the length of the night school term will be reduced from 75 to 60 nights and the study of Physical Training will be eliminated from the list of subjects offered. October 1 was selected as a night for the preliminary enrollment of all night high school pupils previous to the regular opening of night school on October 11. No pupil is to be admitted in the high schools after the opening week of school and preference will be given those who enroll first. GRANT MISSION NOTES Grant Mission, A. M. E.

MARTYN TO OPEN Y M. C. A. MEN'S MEETING Sunday, September 19, at 3:45 p. m., the Young Men's Christian Association will begin the men's meetings, which proved so popular last year. This year the meetings will be held at Pythian Hall, 3127 Pine. Dr. F. F. Martyn, the pastor of the First Baptist Church, will be the opening speaker, and from present indications the attendance next Sunday will exceed the attendance of any of the last year meetings. Since these meetings are open to all men it is probable that a record crowd will turn out to hear the message and enjoy the fellowship and singing. Glee Club rehearsals, under the direction of Mr. Elmer Keeton, will begin next Monday night, September 20, at 8 p. m. For a half hour the new members who desire to learn to read music will be given instruction. All old members will be on hand for this first rehearsal and men joining the club for the first time will find it to their advantage to join on the first night. Various members of the Board of Managers have visited Association buildings in other cities during the summer and each one reports most interestingly of the place which these buildings are filling in their respective communities, and each one concludes with the thought that St. Louis must have a modern Association building. The following members of the Board have looked in upon the work in other cities: Dr. W. P. Curtis visited the Kansas City plant; Mr. Frank L. Williams the Louisville Branch; Dr. W. L. Perry and Mr. J. B. Mitchell have recently returned from a trip to the $200,000 building in Chicago. MISS KATHRYN M. JOHNSON TO SPEAK Miss Kathryn M. Johnson, National Organizer of the N. A. A. C.

During this time he was very successful as a minister. He also acquired quite a deal of property in that city from which he receives a nice income. While Rev. Anderson is a young man, he enjoys the respect and confidence of ministers of the Missouri Conference of the A. M. E. Church. He joined the Missouri Annual Conference at Independence, Mo., October, 1909. The late Rt Rev. A. Grant, presiding. He was sent to Farmington, Mo., where he found a new personage, which had been built by the late Rev G. H. Smith. Rev. Smith was a very faithful pastor and made an excellent record for himself during the four years that he spent at Farmington. Truly may we say of him, "his works still follow him." Rev. Anderson reached Farmington, October 30, 1909, where he found a debt of $410.25 with a membership of thirty-six; all of whom were females save two, and some of the 36 persons that were found on the roll were out of the city. Shortly after arriving there he called a meeting of his officials and after ascertaining the true condition of the work in general he proceeded to At Silver Grill At Poro College The fish and oyster season opened at Silver Grill Thursday night to a big crowd of patrons.

And under his divine leadership he, with the "faithful few," with an undaunted spirit, worked with unremitting zeal, and as a result in eighteen months a sufficient amount of money was raised to lift the mortgage, which was paid five years and five months before the note should come due. The parsonage was renovated and beautiful electric lights put in the church, parsonage and yard. During Rev. Anderson's stay the members were greatly increased and at the expiration of five years he left after having made many friends and accomplishing much in His name. That great man of God and churchman, in the person of Bishop H.B. Parks, appointed him to Quinn Chapel at the last Annual Conference, where he has labored unceasingly and despite the scarcity of money among many of our people he has been able to pay $100 on the mortgage debt, keeping up the interest and all other bills which have come against them. He believes in preaching the unadulterated truth and that along with looking after the temporal interest of the church, he must also keep the spiritual fire burning. Thus, day by day, this man, who some years ago heard the Divine call has gone forth to do the work of Him who sent him, to take the world for Christ and to make it better because he is here.

BUSINESS MEN REFUSE TO CONDEMN PICTURE Resolutions to Censor Birth of a Nation favored by Majority, Only Passes on Condition That It Is Not To Be Made Public. At a meeting of the Negro Business League, held at its headquarters, Tuesday night, the League refused to publicly condemn the "Birth of a Nation," the photo play which is being shown at the Olympic Theater in this city, and in which the Negro is pictured as a vicious brute. The meeting was presided over by Mr. C. K. Robinson, who is first vice-president of the League. The question of the play was brought up and a motion to condemn it was offered by Mr. George W. Smith. He was strongly seconded in his efforts by other members; and 'tis said the majority of the members present were heartily in favor of the motion to condemn the play. Messrs. Gordon and Ficklin, according to the statements of members of the League, strongly opposed the motion; and, after considerable discussion, the presiding officer declared the motion out of order. This action is said to have highly incensed several members and a motion was offered, by Mr. Arthur Turner, and carried, that the League go on record as being opposed to the play, but that the record be not made public. Messrs. Gordon and Ficklin are president and secretary, respectively, of the League. Several of the members, when seen by the reporter, expressed themselves as being "thoroughly disgusted" with the attitude of the League and were loud in their condemnation of the responsible parties. Mr. Gordon is reported to have said that he had seen the play and had found nothing in it which the Negro ought to condemn, but that the reflection was upon the white man. It is said that one member became so disgusted that he left the meeting. Those opposed to the League going on record as condemning the play, are said to have taken the stand that such matters were not for the League to handle, but that civic organizations should take them up. A well-known citizen, discussing the occurrence, said that what St. Louis needed more than anything else was men who have courage and backbone enough to take a stand for the Negro's rights. Y. W. C. A. NOTES A splendid talk was given by Miss Arsania M Williams at the vesper meeting, Sunday afternoon. Vesper services will be continued in the Association building Sunday afternoons at 4:45.

His signature was the first subscribed to the world's most famous State document. In the most realistic sense John Hancock pledged his life and his fortune to the cause of the Revolution. He was one of the richest men in the colonies, holding investments in banks, breweries, stores, hotels, and also owning a fleet of vessels. The seizure of one of these precipitated the Boston massacre. In Revolutionary days and until his death he was a popular idol. When it was proposed to bombard Boston, though it would have resulted in greater personal loss to him than to any other property owner, he begged that no regard be paid to him because of his financial interests. While Hancock did not sign the Constitution of the United States, he used his great influence in its behalf, which awakened the gratitude of Washington.

LOUIS, U.S.A. P THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS TEXT—Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. Mark 5:15-16 The incident of the healing of this woman illustrates in a very simple way the five steps which bring the sinner from suffering to satisfaction. First step—Her need of Jesus. There was no help for her either in herself or in others. She had suffered for 12 years, had tried many physicians, had spent all she had in attempting to rid herself of this disease, but in spite of all she and her physicians could do, she was "nothing bettered but rather grew worse." She was helpless and therefore she was hopeless. What she needed was this Great Physician who alone could heal her. What a true picture of the sinner striving against sin. How very soon salvation would come to many if they could only see how hopeless and helpless their condition is apart from him, the Great Physician. Second Step—Her Approach to Jesus When she heard of him she came to him. Would that all might be brought to Jesus as simply as this. Suppose she had merely gone to Peter or one of the other leaders among the Lord's followers? Would Peter have been able to do her any good? Would he have been any better than her physicians? And what more can any minister today do than simply point the way to Jesus? Who would think the journey's end was reached just because the signpost was in sight? The true minister is but a signpost pointing the way to Jesus as the only one who can heal the soul's disease. And neither did this woman merely go to the crowd around Jesus. She must necessarily go to the crowd, for the people were thronging round him, but it was Jesus himself to whom she went. Too many are satisfied today when they are merely with the crowd that surrounds the Lord. That is, they deem it sufficient if they are members of some church, mingling with the people of God. But neither can the church, anymore than the ministry, give salvation to a soul. The church and her ministers are set for the spiritual help and growth of the Lord's people; the Savior is Jesus alone. Third Step—Her Touch With Jesus. She might be near him, but it was necessary to touch him and touch him she did. After her long experience with many physicians there would not be, perhaps, great faith behind the hand she stretched out to touch him. But it is not great faith that brings the blessing, but the actual coming in touch with the one who has all power. It is not the faith, but the object of faith that works the miracle. But there must be faith, be it small or great, to touch Jesus for one's own need before the power of Jesus can operate. A small wire can carry the power of a large dynamo, but there must be contact. So one can be very near to Jesus and yet go unsaved if there be no personal touch for one's own salvation. Fourth Step—Her Healing by Jesus It came immediately upon her touching him. The moment her hand reached out and touched him, that moment "she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague." There was no waiting, no long period of convalescence, no gradual passing of the plague, but at once there came relief and she was whole. So it is when a soul is saved. The moment that soul, seeing Jesus as the only Savior, and believing in his power and willingness to save, reaches out the hand of faith for the personal need, that moment salvation comes. Fifth Step—Her Confession of Jesus Why did Jesus bring her out before that crowd to tell her story? Because she would never have heard the word "daughter" from his lips nor would she ever have heard the words "go in peace" if there had not been this public confession. There are many who have believed in Jesus to the saving of their souls who have no satisfaction and peace concerning their sins, because they are held back from making an open confession of their faith. If you have believed and are saved, tell the story and you will hear him say to you as he said to this woman, "go in peace." If it be that you are not saved, he says to you, "him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out." He has the power and the willingness to save you just now if you but trust him. When the heart is weared by the hard conflict of life it is well sometimes to withdraw to the solitude for rest and inspiration. There may come peace and courage and renewed strength; but it will not do to stay there, thinking to serve God. The service of God is the service of one's fellow men—H. C. McDouglas. By REV. B. B. SUTCLIFFE Assistant Superintendent of Man, Moody Institute of Chicago 1930 INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (By O. E. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 19 DEFEAT THROUGH DRUNKEN-NESS. LESSON TEXT-I Kings 20:19-21. GOLDEN TEXT-Wine and new wine take away the understanding. Hoa 4:11 R. V. We feel somewhat like questioning the title of this lesson. It can be used as a temperance lesson no doubt, but to attribute Ben-hadad's defeat entirely to drunkenness is not quite true to the facts. Jehovah's jealousy of his name (v. 13) and the enemies' contempt for Jehovah (vv. 23, 28) are the fundamental causes of the defeat of the Syrians though, of course, drunkenness, as an exhibition of self-indulgence and therefore of weakness, was a natural accompaniment of that contempt for God. 1. Ahab's Predicament, vv. 10-12. The Syrian king's contemptuous treatment of Ahab (vv. 11) at last became so great that in eburse desperation the people refused to listen to his demands (v. 8). His forces far overwhelmed the little army of Israel (vv. 1, 10, 27), but one was on Ahab's side who had not yet withdrawn his mercy from Israel and with whom Ben-hadad could not cope (v. 13; Rom. 8:31; Phil. 4:13). Ben-hadad was the most powerful monarch of his time of those nations bordering upon the Mediterranean. The march of his army was like "a tempest of hall, an overwhelming scourge" with unrestrained power. The effect was worse than the plagues of Egypt. But Ben-hadad was a drunkard, a habitual one (vv. 12-16). Samaria was rich and this king wanted it even as intemperance always lusts after the wealth of youth and the gold of a nation (vv. 3, 12). Drink always makes a fool of its victim and dooms to ultimate defeat all who yield to its power (ch. 16:9; II Sam. 13:28; Prov. 31:4, 5; Luke 21:34; Eph. 5:18). 11. God's Prophet, vv. 13-15. It was indeed dark for Ahab. He saw (v. 13) the host confronting him but he also heard the word of Jehovah. As contrasted with Jehovah that multitude was but as a handful of dust. God is on the side of temperance. All of God's, laws favor temperance. Our ever-living, glorified leader and the energizing power of the holy spirit are the ones who are the source of our victories over all principalities and powers of evil. Ahab's predicament is answered by God's "I will deliver" (v. 13) and so today we have his sure promise of victory (Eph. 6:10-12). God has today set forth his prophets (I Cor. 12:28) to proclaim his message of salvation and power to overcome intemperance. This is not a "necessary evil." Experts and scientists have clearly demonstrated its being unnecessary and a drag upon society, and God has taught us how to overcome it. Ahab's unfortunate character appears at its best in this story, but alas he and his successors soon forgo the lesson. III. Victorious Princes, vv. 16-21. To Ahab's question "by whom" is this deliverance to be wrought, God answers, "by the young men of the princes of the provinces" (v. 14). These choice young fellows are mustered in, 232 of them, as leaders of an army of 7,000, all who could be found in the capital. God delights to work through young men I John 2:13, 14) and the pages of history are strewn with the victorious achievements of youth. Two-thirds of Lincoln's army were under twenty-one years of age at their enlistment; the Union was preserved by an army of boys. Ahab himself is the leader (v. 14) and they begin at once by carrying the battle into the enemies' territory. Ben-hadad and his drinking companions never dreamed of being attacked at that hour. Like Gideon and his army these young men smote the Syrian host in overwhelming defeat. Israel's enemies had incapacitated themselves. A drunken mob is no match for even a handful of organized and sober men. These thirty-three kings courted their own defeat (Prov. 22:39-23; Eccl. 11:10; Hos. 4:11). Ben-hadad's kings "who helped him" (v. 16) proved to be a reed for all the strength and support they rendered him in the moment of his need. It was the young men who went first, e. g., struck the first blow. Ben-hadad's self-confidence and boasting (v. 18) is but another illustration of that "pride which goats before destruction" (Prov. 16:18; Luke 18:14). The army of Israel was small (v. 15) but it did not hesitate to attack the superior force and that sort of faith will always incite others which will "follow them" (v. 19). Every man "slew his man," each did his part—"played the game and played it hair"—and the result was a host in full flight and the handful of Israelites in pursuit (v. 20). God saved Israel that day by the use of young men. Teachers, do you realize your opportunity? It is ours to arouse in youth a realization of its capacities, advantages, opportunities and responsibilities; to inspire them with a determination to be of service; to instruct them in God's plan of campaign and to link them with the Young Man of Nazreth, "the Captain of Salvation."

E. Stevens, pastor of Central Baptist Church has done the race a positive service in the preparation and publica: tion in pamphlet form of his masterly protest against segregation As indicated on the title page, it is a statement of principles, a re view of race relations and a protest. The whole valuable documents, the. work of a scholar, and the undertone of appeal that runs through the argument and state- ment bespeaks the leader. The pamphlet was handed us too late for a full review, which we hope to give in a subsequent issue, but we urge here that some plan be perfected by which this booklet may be put into the hands of every Negro in St. Louis. li the Welfare League can distribute “The Home Defender” to the thousands of white people who attend the theater where Torgmy-rot Dixon's picture is showing, then the local branch of the No AL ALC. P. can, and should, give a copy of Dr. Stevens’ booklet to every Negro citizen; yes, and have distributors stand.at the same theater and put a copy into the hands of every person who gets a “Home Defender.” A CONTRIBUTORY EVIL’ We expected our protest against that infamous photo-play, “The Birth of a Nation.” to be followed by the tricks of the law. We expected, as we said at the time of the protest, that subter- fuges would be found or made to nullify that protest and allow the production to run out its engagement. We expected that the libel- ous film-story would fan the flames of prejudice and hatred that were already burning and threatening to destroy us. But we did not look for that contributory evil which is adding fuel to the flames, in the shape of a pamphlet called “Phd Tom Defender,” and which is being distributed to the hundreds of spec- tators at every performance. . This is another of the Satanic moves of that diabolical collection of race-killers and city-breakers known as “The Welfare League.” Welfare, indeed! They are aiming for the welfare of their own pockets, at the expense of the citizenship and honor of a great city. In the prairie fires, they fight the fire WITH fire, Herein is a lesson for us. Let us study the plans and note the weapons of the enemy, and then fight them with their own weapons and along their own lines uf campaign. Are the children of darkness always to be wiser in their day and generation than the children of light? O Negro citizens of America, and of St. Louis in particular, awake! Too long have you been asleep. -Arouse to a sense of your danger. Be everlastingly on the watch, The devil and his cohorts never sleep. It is ETERNAL vigilance that is the price of liberty, er impm oS REKS EE ee” . TO ARCHBISHOP GLENNON A leading clergyman of this city gives it as his ‘opinion that much of the segregation sentiment is due to the support of the Roman Catholic element of dur population, backed up by the in- fluence of the priesthood. We can hardly believe this. Remembering the numerical pro- portion of Irish in the Catholic Church in America, and remem: bering that the Irish suffered an oppression not much less than our own, and then found liberty and opportunity on these shores, we cannot believe that they would be so ungrateful and so forgetful as to ase their influence in oppressing another people. - . ‘There are also many German Catholics in St. Louis. But while they have experienced nothing of the sad history of the Irish, they, too, have enjoyed the opportunity and fraternity of this hospitable land, and the friendship of Germany and America ha: never been broken by war or otherwise. There is no reason why the German or Irish, as a race, shoule wish the Negro any harm; and every reason why they should wist them alf good and use their influence towards that end. There i: no reason why the Catholic.Church should take a stand agains the Negro, In some sections of the country Catholicism is seeking and winning the Negro in large numbers, and hen St. Louis no a few are in that Church. So, We~say again, we can hardly believe that the Catholi Church or her priests are supporting segregation. : ~A word from Archbishop Glennon would go far towards re moving the doubt which has been raised by the statement of thi clergyman referred to. Is the Roman Catholic Church for us o against us? In either case, we believe simple justice calls for ; defining of her position. Let us hear from you, Archbishop Glen non. & WHY NOT PROTEST? . of the local Negro Business Leas condemn the ‘photo-play known as rought no little criticism from the 1o understand why the League shou sing such a play, which not only rid h not only misrepresents past hist: ice, een a:question of poliies, there mij m a question which concerned se: The action of the local Negro Business League, in their fail- ure to publicly condemn the ‘photo-play known as “The Birth of a Nation,” has brought no little criticism from the public generally.

RICH COLORED PEOPLE Eighty thousand dollars awaiting the legal heirs of Elizabeth Mary Simpson, formerly of New Orleans, La. Had three sisters and two brothers. Was a chambermaid on a Mississippi River boat running between St. Louis and New Orleans in the latter part of the 70's, early part of the 80's, under the late Captain Peter Layman. A wealthy gentleman of Paris, France, has selected J. Othello Farris, our veteran colored secret service investigator, to locate the missing heirs to all this wealth. Elizabeth, commonly called Aunt Liza Simpson, is supposed to have been born in or near New Orleans about 1828. She died in March, 1901, at the age of 73, never married, without making a proper will. It is reasonable to suppose that there must be several nephews and nieces who are the legal heirs with the sisters and brothers of Elizabeth Mary Simpson. A suitable reward will be paid for the location of these relations of Mrs. Simpson. Send all information to J. O. Farris, 7 North Jefferson, Ave. St. Louis, Mo, U. S. A.

LOUIS GIANTS TRIM RUBE FOSTER'S CHICAGO TEAM Series Will Close With Game Saturday at Kulege's Park An exciting series of real big league ball playing was offered to St. Louisians at Kulage's Park this week. The series was between Rube Foster's famous American Giants and Charlie Mills' St. Louis Giants. Monday's game was a battle royal. When St. Louis came to bat in the last of the seventh the score stood 9 to 0 in favor of Chicago. At this juncture, however, the local team succeeded in making 9 runs, tying the score, on 2 passes and 8 hits, one being a home run by Cobb. Chicago used 4 pitchers in an effort to stop the rally in this inning. Gatewood was relieved by Williams for St. Louis, Cobb catching. GIANTS CAPT. DICK WALLACE In Charge of the St. Louis Champions St. Louis counted 2 more in the eighth and with the score, 11, to 9 in the ninth Chicago scored 3 runs on a hit, a pass, and a home run, winning the game, 12 to 11. The last inning was played in the dark. GIANTS Tuesday another exciting game was staged. Williams and W. Webster opened for St. Louis, Withworth and Jones for Chicago. Young Webster sustained a broken finger and was relieved by Cobb. Chicago counted 3 in the first and 1 in the fifth. St. Louis got 4 in the first THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS BASE BALL SEPT. 19, 3 P. M. E.

C "SPECK" WEBSTER Recognized as the Greatest Catcher in Colored Baseball Wednesday was the banner day. Joe Smith held the Chicago team at his mercy until the fifth, when he weakened on account of a lame wing. Up to this time Chicago had failed to get a hit off his delivery, or a base on balls. The Windy City boys got 2 runs in the 5th and 1 in the 7th off Gatewood who relieved Smith. St. Louis made 1 in the second, 3 in the 3rd and 3 in the 2th, off Johnson and Jenkins. "Spec". Webster did the receiving for St. Louis and Jones for Chicago. The final score was 7 to 3 in favor of St. Louis, making the series stand 2 to 1. The game was one of the best ever seen here. It was full of thrills from start to finish and every player was keyed up to the limit. Manager Mills had the Pythian band out to entertain the big crowd. Thursday's game was still more exciting. Wickware and "Spec" Webster, for St. Louis' formed the battles. The game was full of thrills all through. St. Louis counted two in the third and Chicago one in the fourth. This score held good until the ninth. In this frame Chicago massed three in their half and St. Louis two. The game was called on account of darkness leaving the teams tied 4-4. The feature of the game was the sensational defensive work of Bauchman, second baseman for Chicago. The series of six games will close Saturday afternoon. The game will start at 3 p.m. and a big crowd is expected. "Rube" Foster will pitch for Chicago. The Giants will leave Saturday night for Chicago where they will play five games, beginning Sunday. We have heard and seen much of star shortstops, and we still are of the opinion that Capt. Dick Wallace has got it on all of them. Chicago showed all her slab artists Monday in one evening. Wickware, Withworth, Johnson and Jenkins. All were slaughtered.
