Miss Mary Childs Nerney, of New York City, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and one of the strongest apostles of the "New Abolitionism" among the white citizens of this country, will speak at Central Baptist Church, Tuesday, November 9, 1915, at 8:00 p. m. Miss Nerney was for some years assistant librarian of the state of New York. She is a woman of culture and high attainment and is the uncompromising friend of the colored people. It was she who went to Washington City and secured the first authentic information that there was a well devised plan to segregate the colored people in the different departments. She has been fighting it with a vengeance ever since. She comes to St. Louis in the interest of the fight that the local branch is making against segregation. She will meet the members of the branch on Saturday evening, November 6, at 8:00 p. m., at Central Library Building, 14th and Olive Sts. Let every member be there and give her a royal welcome. On Monday evening she will meet a gathering of white people at Sheldon Memorial Building. Special effort has been made by the committee to get her an audience whose services might be enlisted in the cause. Three hundred and fifty special letters have been sent out to prominent white people in an effort to secure for her such a hearing. Miss Nerney comes from New York at not a single cent of expense from the people of St. Louis. Let us rally to the cause, and show her how very much we appreciate her coming and the effort of the National Association to help us in this struggle. At 8:15, Monday night, the assembly will sing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and after the invocation the following pastors will speak two or three minutes on Lovejoy and his legacy to the present time and conditions. Reverends Brooks, B. G. Shaw, J. G. Caston, W. L. Perry, B. F. Abbott, S. W. Parr, S. A. Moseley, and Attorney George L. Vaughn. At 9 o'clock Miss Nerney will be presented to the people. C. A. Tuckerman, Pres. Miss Daisy English, proprietress of the Modern Hair Dressing Parlor, at 1822 N. Pendleton, has discovered a method for treating the hair which leaves it fluffy and greaseless, giving a natural effect. The preparation is absolutely harmless and is a boon to many ladies who have heretofore objected to hair treatment because of the greasy after-effect. Miss English uses the Molar system, gives first treatmentmnt, on ordinary work, for 50 cents, and box of oil free. She reports a constantly increasing business and offers tempting inducements to young ladies who wish to demonstrate her new preparation.

Metropolitan Notes Preaching at 11 O'clock. Choir Processional at 10:50 Last Sunday morning after the choir had rendered the most pleasing music, Dr. Shaw preached a powerful sermon from the 5th chapter of Revelations. A large crowd was present and two members were added to the church. At 3 p. m. Dr. Shaw was agreeably surprised to greet such a large crowd of men present to hear a special sermon to men. Old and young men were seen to shed tears while Dr. Shaw told them how, "The wages of sin is death." Many came forward to be prayed for and to accept Christ as their Saviour. Dr. Shaw stated to an Argus reporter, Monday, that beginning next Sunday, November 7, in keeping with his progressive ideas, preaching would begin strictly at 11 o'clock. The choir processional will take place at 10:50. Dr. Shaw stated that it has been his purpose to shorten the service for some time, but having much to do, he has been hindered. Those who wish to enjoy the entire morning services must be in their seats at eleven o'clock. He asks your co-operation in this effort.

THIS, SAYS DR. BROOKS. IS BEING FOSTERED IN ST. LOUIS. IT WILL CONTRADICT TEACHINGS IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND NULLIFY THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks will preach a special sermon next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, subject, "Segregation a Municipal Ptison," and "Our American Christian Citizenship." In making the announcement Dr. Brooks stated. "Theagan spirit of human rights and liberties is being fostered in St. Louis. Freedom is a human right. The right to labor and to eat of the tree of civilization is the principle laid by the fathers of our American governments. If we are labelled by segregation as unfit to live among the other races of mankind in a free government; it will contradict the teachings of our public schools and nullify the preaching of the gospel from hundreds of pulpits in this city where millions of dollars are spent annually to fit citizens for society. Segregation is a municipal prison where citizens are indiscriminately labelled. "The Jews have been suppressed by Christian nations the world over, but they have been compelled to pay for it at a great sacrifice—a sacrifice of the best sons and daughters of nations." FINANCIAL RALLY Great financial rally was launched at St. Paul last Sunday morning, organized into eight mock conferences, presided over by female bishops as follows: Viola Carrett-Eglin, Presiding Bishop Nightingale Conference.

RALSTON Summary of Commissione Deposita, Meadow Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT-But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. -II Peter 2:1. The title of this sermon is taken from the Revised Version of the Holy Scriptures, and at first glance this would seem to be less portentous than the expression in the Authorized Version, "damnable heresies." As ordinarily understood, "damnation" or "condemnation" suggests the eternal punishment of the finally impenitent, and in such a text as this the meaning would be that such heresies will first glance this would seem to be less portentuous than the expression in the Au thorized Version "damnable here sies." As ordinarily understood "damnation" or "condemnation suggests the eternal punishment of the finally impenitent, and in such a text as this the meaning would be that those who present such heresies will be subjects of this condemnation. What is Heresy? Scripturally, one meaning is that it refers to sects or persons, and another that it refers to discords or dissensions. In Peter's time there were persons in the communities to which he wrote, who were giving out teachings that were not in accord with what he had taught. Notwithstanding that all that is not in accord with the accepted teaching of the church is not "damnable" nor "destructive," it is a simple matter of fact that there have been men, and it is sad to say women, too, who have been bringing in "heresies of destruction." We receive the suggestion in the text, "false teachers bringing in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them." The ordinary result of such work has been the securing to these teachers many followers, and bringing upon themselves the destruction which their heresies perforce entails. Many Heresies of Today. Probably never in the history of Christian thought and teaching were there so many "destructive heresies" as today. These are not in accord among themselves, and the man who does not like the truth of God's Word and has rejected the people of God is greatly perplexed to know what one of the many heresies he should adopt. The followers of these heresies as a natural result, contend with each other just as bitterly as any one of them contends with the Gospel as accepted by the church through all of its history, everywhere, and by all (sem. ubique, ubique, et ab omnibus). And never in the history of the church were Christians needing to be under guard as today, for these false teachers are not always outside of the church. Peter says they are "among you" In some cases they have repudiated the church formally, but in many cases they cling to the church, wear its livery and pose as its teachers and leaders. A heresy of today may be one of two things. It may be by an adding to the Word of God, or by omission, or ignoring some of it. There is hardly a modern religious fad that does not connect itself in some way with the Bible. The Bible may not be the chief literary authority, but in this country the religionist must come to the people with a profession of love for the Bible. The country is run over by religionists who sell, or if need be, give away religious literature, and oftentimes this literature is professionally based on the Bible. Paul avoided heresy and told the elders of the church at Ephesus that he had not failed to declare unto them the whole counsel of God. The most prominent of the "modern teachers of the "destructive heresies" teach much that is in the Bible, but they leave out much which, if given out, would utterly change their teaching, and it is because of this that we speak of their teachings as heretical. Peter sums up the heresy in mind in these words, "denying the Lord that bought them." Here we have a safeguard when we come to define heresies of destruction. They are in one way or another denials of Jesus Christ, either of his person or of some phase of his work. Person and Work of Jesus Christ. The great question of questions is, "What think ye of Christ—whose Son is he?" We are confined to the work of Christ as the Son of God. New, briefly, what is the truth about the person of Jesus Christ? As taught by the church from the beginning, it is that Jesus Christ is the very Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary, was historically a person in the days of Pontius Pilate, was absolutely sinless in his thought, teaching and life, died as the only sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the world, rose again from the dead, ascended into heaven, where he now sits on the right hand of God, from whence he will come as judge and to be the meditorial king on earth, and after manifesting his kingship in that form, will yield the kingdom up to God, that God may be all in all. (BY E. O. WELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course, the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) JOASH REPAIRS THE TEMPLE. LESSON TEXT-II Kings 12:6-15. GOLDEN TEXT-God loveth a cheerful giver.—II Cor. 9:7. The time of this lesson was about 878 B. C., and it follows within a few years last Sunday's lesson. Inaugurated as king and instructed by a faithful priest, yet Joash discovered great lethargy on the part of the priestly class with regard to the house of God. He set himself to arouse great liberality and to repair the temple. 1. Lethargy, v. 4, 8. (1) Its cause. We should read in this connection II Chron. 24. From the two accounts and the previous history of the nation we conclude that the condition of the temple was due, (a) to the weak and frequently vicious characters of the rulers of the nation; (b) to the evil companions of both princes and priests and (c) to the cupidity of court and curate. (2) The result of this lethargy regarding God's cause was evidenced (a) upon the temple, and (b) upon the lives of the people of the kingdom. (3) The cure. Josiah instituted great reforms in Judah and in these Jeholaids the priest (v. 2) had no small part. In this particular lesson the prince (v. 7) seems to lead the priest. Unfortunately the godly priest did not long survive the crowning of Joash and hence when he came under other influences he soon went back to the evil practices of his predecessors and his reign ended in an eclipse of evil (II Chron. 24:15-26). In this lesson we have, however, a suggestion of what is needed to cure religious lethargy. (a) A vision of the real condition of affairs (v. 7; also II Chron. 24:7). Joash saw the resultant ruin of the temple after 15 years of misrule; he also saw the misconduct of the priests and did not hesitate to call them to account. 'Tis no easy task to undertake a reformation and restoration such as this; witness Moses, Luther, Wesley and Cary. These priests had added him to gain his throne and doubtless had had a part in his boyhood training. Joash had inaugurated certain reforms, before he began this task which suggests the second need of (b) persistence (see I Chron. 24:5, 6). Such work also demands (c) systematic effort and giving. Joash placed himself among Israel's best kings by undertaking the restoration of the temple and won a place alongside of Hesokiah and Josiah. Modern churches are not, strictly speaking, "a house of the Lord" such as the Jewish temple, yet the condition of many of our churches would indicate great indifference to the cause of the kingdom. Our bodies are indeed a "temple" I Cor. 3:16; 6:19) and both the body and church buildings alike should be kept in proper condition. 11. Liberality, v. 9-15. The plan to have the priests gather funds for the repairs was Scriptural (Exod. 25:2-8) God does not look upon the measure but upon the motive of our gifts (II Cor. 8:12). The priests did not "hasten the matter" so the king took it into his own hands (v. 9). In this misreness Jehovah, as the chief priest, is held accountable for all (v. 7). We have in this story a rich suggestion as to God's plan of Christian giving. (1) The object it was distinctly for the glory of God and not to outbid others or to wastefully use the money for selfish purpose. (2) All were to participate voluntarily, out of their abundance (II Chron. 24:10), systematically and faithfully. (3) The results were a house repaired (II Chron. 24:12), beautiful (II Chron. 24:13) with the worship restored (II Chron. 24:14). Joash seems to have laid great emphasis upon the "tabernacle of witness" (24:6) and we need to recall that each and every part of that temple was a testimony to the truth of God and had in it a spiritual suggestion and prophecy. As a whole, it suggested that God dwelt in the midst of his people. The sons of Athaliah (Joash's grandmother) had so conducted themselves as to cause it to need repair (II Chron. 24:7). When we turn to II Chron 24:9-14 and read the record of the restoration of the temple, we discover: (1) Each had its part in the work. (2) Each did a "perfect" work, a. g., did his task faithfully, fully and to a finish. (3) Each did an orderly work, "in his state." None sought to supplant or defraud others in the work assigned. (4) Each did a strong work, it was "strengthened" and not a trifling work as men-pleasers or for the moment. Try more prayer and like Josh, give the people a chance and there will be no lack. Again, note that they dealt "faithfully." We need to exercise faithfulness in our relations to God and in the use of that which he intrusts to our stewardship. Man and God alike will have confidence in us according to the method whereby we receive and expend money. These kinds were expended in a businesslike way (v. 11, 13 if Chron. 24.11), and thus doubtless added upon to the size of the gifts. MOVING AND EXPRESS Packing, Shipping and Storage.

Next Sunnay, Nov. 7, will mark the 78th anniversary of the death of Elijah Parish Lovejoy. The indomitable spirit of the great martyr to the cause of freedom and liberty lives until this day. Out of the east comes the new “‘Abolitionists,” to deery the new dangers that confronts us. Although guaranteed equal rifhts by the Constitution, we have had to endure insult, outrage, malice, prejudice, and be denied the dearest rights of freedom. Now our manhood and womanhood is assailed; SEGREGATION, strikes at the very root of our honor. It aims at the very sap of life that nourishes honesty, ambition and courage. But the spirit of Lovejoy lives on. May it inspire us to greater aggressiveness. May every min- ister from his pulpit, Sunday, cry out to his followers against this injustice. We shall not surrender our rights and lay down our half century of toil. ‘A USEFUL CAREER CLOSED. With the death of J. Milton Turner, St. Louis and the country looses one of its greatest statesmen. The good things that Turner did in life will ever stand as a monument to the race. Starting as teacher in the state of Missouri, he won his spurs in joint debate with that‘eminent statesman, Carl Schurz, whom he overmatched at Jefferson City on the question of enfranchisement. His ability attracted the attention of President Grant and leading Republicans of the state and nation, and as a consequence, he on Minister Rresident and Consul-General to the little African Repub- lic of Liberia. He held this position so acceptably, the first term that he was re-appointed to a second. He was foremost in founding Lincoln Institute and foremost in raising money from the Negro soldiers in establishing it, and, afterwards, also, he led in making it an institution to be sustained by the state and not by charity. But the crown that he wears without a rival is the manly and successful fight that he made for the Negroes in the Indian Terri- ry. The stipulations of the treaty with the Five Nations in thé “Teitan Territory in 1866, was that the United States would buy from these nations 14,000,000 acres of land, known as Oklahoma, on condition that the [ndlans would immediately set the Negroes free, and, in two years grant them all the rights of Indian citizen- ship. The Indians set the Negroes free but did not give them citi- zenship and robbed them out of their share of the money accruing from the sale of the land. This case was taken by Turner before the President, Congress and the courts and he secured pro rata restitution for the Negro, and, also, in the sale of the Cherokee Strip for $8.000,000 he had appropriated $1,600.000‘out of that sum for the Cherokee Freedmen. In the allottment of lands also hun- dreds of thousands of acres were secured by the Negroes of Okla- homa largely through the importunities of this remarkable man. His career has been checkered on two continents and marvelous when you consider the earlier disadvantages of his race. He was possessed of inextinguishable hope, deep ;passion and purpose to which was added a national scope of activity, “‘It is human to! err” and over his errors we let fall the broad mantle of charity knowing that whatever evil he has done must die but the’ hun- dreds of thousands of acres and millions of dollars secured by him will continue to benefit and bless many thousands of our people. A PLEA | FOR UNITY Why the Anti-Segregation Committee of she National Asscciation for Advancement of Colored People ‘Meads Méaer In the campaign that .the Anti- Segregation Committee ix waging in this city, nothing can be plainer that that they must have money, and yet a great many people are asking’ the question, “What do they need with money?" : First, let us see if we can get an idea of the task that lies before us. It is a stupendous one. There are seven hundred thousand people ia the city of St. Lauis. Six. hundred and fifty thousand of these are white. Among them are between one hun- dred and fifty and two hundred thou- sand voters. We must reach every ene of these voters.in order that our side of the question might have a hearing. We are pot doing ourselves justice if we do not.” The Uniteg ‘Welfare Association is seaching them through their literature and we- must do the same thing. We can not hope a an army “with pap-guns, they are using Sonne Sas and poisonous gas My» ‘must use the same of weapon * they use. Now supposing we mail, let us say, to 150,000 voters one piece of litera- ture with just one cent stamp on it There is $1,500 right there, to say nothing of the cost of printing. True, We may try, fo reach them in some other way. it we-cannot reach ‘them in anyway for much less than one cent a voter. 5 “Then we ‘must have some. people employed to give their entire time to this work. We cannot-accomplish anything by having two or three per sons, or éven more than that, devote an hour or two per day as volunteer service. We must have that and more. ,We must have some people to keep everlastingly at it, day in and day out, night in and night out. A stenographer is being employed ata very meager salary, because she has the interest of the work at heart and -wishes to donate part of her services. During her employment she has folded and sent. out more than six thousand ‘pieces of mail mat- ter, to say nothing of the writing of three thousand letters, A solicitor aie come eee e ie cate ates at giving all | .

Dr» T. A. Curtis gemerous- ly donated the-use of bis "reception room for an entire month, for’ tem- porary headquarters, until we éould ‘get a permanent location; for afl of these things the committee feels yery grateful. rst What is needed now, shore: than anything else, is a united mind: gad a determined effort to defeat segre gation, This is no time to stop to quibble over small things, for while we are doing this the enemy will get an even greater advantage of us Petty grievances must be put ‘aside we must not be “a house divided against itself.” If segregation eome- it will not be for the man or woman whom we do not like, but it will be for all of us, the rich and the “poor, the high and the low alike. Let us jor once rise above the factional. an‘ class feeling and be a unit in puttiny forth a tremendous eflort to defeat a measure that means to humiliate and stigmatize ug and take away our frst rights as citizens.

LOUIS. A. W. LLOYD, Manager, CUT YOUR HAIR BILLS IN HALF You can cut your hair bills in half by buying your hair goods from me. People often ask how it is possible for me to give such good values for so little money. The reason is simple: I am a direct maker to agent and dealer, which plan leaves out all middlemen and their profits. My large production cuts down the cost of manufacturing and selling direct to agents and dealers cut down selling costs. I have no salesmen to whom: I must pay a salary and expenses. Each article is made of the finest quality of hair and the workmanship is the very best. Become my agent and cut the cost of your merchandise and make the profit yourself. Ira H. Schleber. 219 Audubon Ave. New York. It will cost you no more by dealing with me directly and at the same time you are paving the way for the success of others of the race indirectly. Get the idea? If its today, next week or a year hence, when you are in the market for anything in my line, such as furniture, pianos, carpets or stoves, remember that I can sell you as cheap as any one in the city. Remember that we have an immense line from which to select. Remember that our goods are marked in plain figures strictly one price to all. Remember too that that price is right. Remember that I can furnish your home complete on easy terms if so desired. Remember that I will appreciate an order from you whether Remember that it is of vi- ence when visiting our store if you desire fully. N T. WALKER Y-STERN AND COMPANY - St. Louis, Mo.
