Notice! Members N. A. A. C. P.
No further notice will be given of the meeting at the Library Building SATUR-
DAY, NOVEMBER 6, at 8:00 p.m. for the purpose of meeting MISS NERNERY
except as appears in the weekly papers. Come and bring your friends.
NOTED APOSTLE OF THE NEW "ABOLITIONISM" WILL ENTER FIGHT AGAINST SEGREGATION. MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT WILL BE A LOVEJOY MEMORIAL. BIG CROWD EXPECTED.
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.

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.

At Poro College
"PORO" COLLEGE EXECUTIVE FORCE AT LOUISIANA, MO.
Not only did St. Louisans enjoy and express their pleasure in seeing "Poro" College moving pictures, but Louisiana, Missourians, as well.

N. Coleman.
The members and friends of Wesley Chapel, M.E. Church, filled its pews on that evening and viewed with anxiety the reels' production. The "Poro" Club had arranged for a short, yet enthusiastic program before the moving pictures, on which, the private secretary, Miss Maudelle McMurray, filled a number with a paper on "The Beautifying of the Hair." Congratulations were extended to her by all after the program, on the splendid notes and deliverance of her paper. Miss Hannah Anderson, stenographer, filled a number also, with a delightful talk on "The Work of a 'Poro' Agent," she received applause which rang through the building.
Matters pertaining to the business were transacted, and while Louisiana is only a small town, "Poro" stands as being the one scalp food for its people. Mrs. Coleman's invitation manifested interest in the "Poro" work, and all the citizens of Louisiana expressed words of praise and thankfulness for having such a one in their midst; and, in having "Poro" College representatives with them. The force reported overwhelming success on their return. "Poro" College moving pictures will be shown at Central Baptist Church, on which date all will receive notice.

FRIENDS, VISITORS,
STRANGERS!
Friends, visitors and strangers are asked to come out and take part in the soul refreshing meetings at Tavernacle Baptist Church. Madam Page, 3440 Pine-St., owner of the Page's Laundry, has had a great calling since September 7, and she is putting forth every effort she can to help the church. Rev. Mosley, pastor formerly of Pine Bluff, Ark., is doing a great work. Members are coming who have not been seen for years. Christians are to blame for lack of souls in our churches. Now is the time. "Let the redeemed say so." When churches are empty and odons are filled it's merely because we have failed to say so. Just say that God is able to fill our churches, pay off debts and in fact, everything. No debt is larger than the Lord our God and Saviour. Christians, now is the time; just pray often without ceasing.
JOINT ENTERTAINMENT
The Brotherhood and Willing Workers, No. 2, of Union M. E. Church will give a joint entertainment November 8 at the church. Some of the best local talent will appear on the program. Be sure and see the drama by six girls. Admission. 10 cents.
SYMPOSIUM CLUB
After Sumner has defeated Lincoln on Thanksgiving we will get together at the grand ball given by the Symposium Club at the Douglass Hall, corner of Beaumont and Lawton, in honor of Sumner and Lincoln teams, Friday, November 26.
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:

Summary of Commissione Deposita,

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.

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.

THE SPIRIT OF LOVEJOY.
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.

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

Petty grievances must be put ‘aside
we must not be “a house divided

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,

Before I saw your advertisement
in the St, Louis Argus, I was like a
ship without a captain. I knew
enough about hair work to earn a
living but not enough to pass an ex-
fimination before a college of hair
culture. When I was asked where I
learned my beauty treatments, I
would shiver in my boots because I
had no Oxford College to back me.
But today I am prcud and happy
because [ am a graduate of the Ox-
ford System and find all of my cus-
tomers so well pleased. I am ‘gain-
ing new customers every day and
must thank you again, I beg to re
main,

In truth I find pleasure in my work

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

3-in-One is a light, pure oil compound that never gums. 3-in-One lubricates perfectly sewing machines, typewriters, bicycles, locks, clocks, guna, lawnmowers—everything that ever needs oiling in your home or office. No grease. No acid. A little 3-in-One on a soft cloth cleans and polishes perfectly all veneered or varnished furniture and woodwork. Sprinkled on a yard of black cheesecloth it makes an ideal Dustless Dusting Cloth. 3-in-One absolutely prevents rust on gun barrels, auto fixtures, bath room fixtures, gas ranges, everything metal, indoors or out, in any climate. It sinks into the unseen metal porse and forms a protecting "overcoat" which stays on. Free—3-in-One—Free. Write today for generous free bottle and the 3-in-One Dictionary of hundreds of uses.
3-in-One is sold in all good stores in 3-in-2 bottles: 10c (1 oz.), 25c (3 oz.), 50c (8 oz., % pint). Also in new patented Handy Oil Can, 25c (3 % oz.).
