Hanford Crawford Speaker of Hour at Pythian Hall Next Sunday at 3:40 p.m. Other Weekly Men to be Present. Next Sunday will be Board of Directors' Day at the men's meeting of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Hanford Crawford, former president of the Scruggs Vandervoort Company, will be the speaker of the hour. Mr. Crawford ranks as one of the outstanding laymen of the country, having for a number of years been connected with missionary enterprises as a large contributor. In recent years, Mr. Crawford has retired from business and gives a large part of his time to benevolent enterprises. "It was Mr. Crawford who led the fight for a new Branch Building," said Mr. Jones, secretary of the Colored Branch, "and it will be under his leadership that $75,000 will be raised from the white citizens of the country." Among the other men of large means and influence who will be present Sunday will be Mr. T. W. Fristoe, Mr. Hobart 'Brainsmade, of the King Brinsmade Mercantile Co., Judge Seldon P. Spencer and other prominent business men. These meetings are held in Pythian Hall, 3137 Pine Street, at three forty o'clock. A most enthusiastic group of business and professional men were present Wednesday night at the Central Branch, Y. M. C. A., to hear General Secretary Philemon Bevis tell of the remarkable growth of the Association work in this country. Slides of the latest buildings for Colored men were shown and then to show the contrast the present, small, outgrown building now occupied by the Colored Branch. This was a contrast which showed the needs of the men and boys of our city.

TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY Special to The Argus: Baltimore, Md., Nov. 11.—Bishop and Mrs. John Hurst, who celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage a few days ago, are still receiving gifts in silver from various sections of the country. The anniversary, which was observed at their home, 1808 McCulloh Street, was attended by a brilliant gathering from this and other cities. The gifts, which were numerous and costly, embrace nearly every specimen of the silversmith's craft. Bishop and Mrs. Hurst were married by Bishop B. F. Lee, of the A. M. E. Church. The late Hannibal Price, at that time Haitian Minister to the United States, performed the civil ceremony. They have one son, Benoni Price Hurst, who is a senior in the medical department of Harvard University. WYMAN CHAPEL NOTES Ending of the Harvest at Wyman Chapel, corner 23rd and Wash, will be Sunday, November 14, at 3 p. m. with a special sermon by our new pastor, Dr. S. T. Brooks. Monday night a program will be rendered by the Sunday school. Admission, 5 cents Cause and be with us. Mrs. Ruth Hankin, Sept. 7 St. Douglas United Primitive Baptist Church St. Douglas United Primitive Baptist Church Rev. E. Foster, pastor of the St. Douglas United Primitive Baptist Church, 2804 Lacelead Avenue, and deacon Wm. F. Garland have returned to St. Louis after having attended a week's meeting at Chicago, which was conducted by Rev. Foster, for Rev. Cantrell. A large and well behaved audience was in attendance each night. The church is known as the United Primitive Baptist Church. Its doctrine is that God saved his people in his Son, before creation began or the feet washing Baptists. Six years ago Rev. M. Slater and Rev. Green Thompson organized this little church. Mr. Garland was ordained a deacon in the Big Harpeth Association, for the church. The first pastor was Rev. Floyd Gilam, now deceased. For three years since then Rev. Ernest Foster has been the pastor. He has been very successful in his work and the congregation has doubled in members through the efforts of both himself and Deacon Garland. Mr. Garland, before he came to St. Louis was a member of McNarry Hill Broad Street Baptist Church, Nashville, Tenn., which is the mother church to all. Rev. Samuel Bryant is now pastor. While in Chicago the Rev. Foster had to cancel many important engagements to preach on account of the shortness of his stay. Invitation We wish to invite you to come out to our Sunday-school and bring on send your children. Services at 10:00 a.m., 11 a.m. Evening services at 5:30 p.m., 8:00 p.m. Prayer meeting on Thursday evening, from 8 to 10. We have feet washing twice a year. We are seeking to get a larger church in order to seat the people comfortably. The St. Douglass Church will celebrate the second anniversary of the pastor on November 14, Sunday. A grand program is being arranged for that day. The sermon will be delivered by Rev. F. S. Mollison, pastor of Burning Bush Baptist Church. All pastors and their congregations are cordially invited to be present. NEGRO STATE FAIR, OPENED BY PARADE, WELL AT TENDED Jackson, Miss., November 2.—Jackson was thronged by one of the biggest crowds today that was ever in the town, and the parade organized by the Negro State Fair was one of the longest and most interesting that ever passed over the streets of the capital city, taking one hour and a half to pass a given point. The procession formed at Poindexter Park, half a mile west of the Union Station and marched to the fair grounds in the following order: Cordon of police, brass band, officers of the fair, Knights of Pythias, Jackson school children (by the thousands) Smith Robertson School, (1214) float representing the Household of Ruth, fifty cowboys, mounted, carpenters, fifty graduate nurses, float loaded with small babies, representing better babies, float representing Mary Proctor Hospital, Baker's club float, float representing Uncle Sam with great stick of striped candy for cannon, stenographers' float, baggage haulers' float, Piney Woods School from Braxion, 200 strong, and headed by band, Brandon Boosters in decorated buggies, vegetable truckers and raisers' float, float of 'possum hunters with dogs and several 'possum in trees, missionary float, float representing North Jackson cooks, float of girls' pig club and boys' corn club, wagons loaded with corn, baled hay, sweet potatoes, moss-covered wagons showing products of truck-growers' farms, steam calliope and innumerable automobiles gaily decorated in which rode gaily caparisoned. Colored men and women. There were flags and banners denoting the several sections of the parade, three bands of music, player pianos, clowns and other features. THE NERNEY MEETING The Nerney Meeting at the Central Baptist Church Tuesday night accomplished quite a recruiting force to the N. A. A. C. R. in its fight against segregation. Miss Nerney's plain, simple manner appealed to everyone present, and the enthusiasm created resulted in several new members to the Association. Miss Nerney told her hearers that there was a general plan to segregate the Negro in all large cities and the eyes of the country were on St. Louis. She said, "There is not anything the Colored people want, which they cannot get. All they need is confidence and co-operation." Several other speakers were heard and the meeting was attended by a number that, well, liked the church. The Argus congratulates itself on being able to add to its editorial staff Prof. P. H. Murray, for many years editor of the St. Louis Advance. Prof. Murray is a well known newspaper man in St. Louis, having for the last thirty years engaged in journalistic work. He will not only strengthen our editorial staff but will help materially with advertisement. We wish to call attention of those who have heretofore advertised with the Advance that the Argus will take care of their business, thus giving them the benefit of our large circulation. We point with pride and yet with a degree of modesty that less than a year ago the Argus took over the business and circulation of the Central Afro-American. This last acquisition is in keeping with our policy to give the people the best paper published in the interest of the colored people in the west. The Argus congratulates itself on being Prof. P. H. Murray, for many years edible. Murray is a well known newspaper man in 5 years engaged in journalistic work. He will staff but will help materially with advertisements who have heretofore advertised with take care of their business, thus giving them. We point with pride and yet with a degree the Argus took over the business and siberican. This last acquisition is in keeping with best paper published in the interest of the c Greatest Beauties In Africa Says City Club Speaker A. K. W. Kumm, a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of London, speaking at the City Club luncheon upon "The Wealth of Africa," said he doubted if the white race would ever be able to take Africa from the Africans. The colored race in America, he said, was drawn from the poorest African stock, while in the central portion of Africa were races of powerful men. If the American Negro could produce a Booker Washington, he said, there was no telling how great a leader might spring from those central tribes. The speaker said that the Cape-to-Cairo railroad was now within 800 miles of completion and that had it not been for the war the network of railroads about the African coast would have been joined within another year by a line directly across the heart of the continent. Dr. Kumm said that Africa produced one-third of the world's gold and that there were undeveloped gold fields in almost all parts of the continent, together with copper and tin mines. He said the Nubian women were among the most handsome women on earth and that the Central African's sense for music was far beyond that of Americans or Europeans. BANQUETS AT THE KEYSTONE The classy little Keystone Cafe and Bungalow, at Compton and Lawton, is in its glory at this time of the year. Several banquets are planned for the immediate future. Friday, November 19, the Knights of Pythias' staff and officers will have a smoker from 8 to 12 p. m. The Peerless Knights' smoker will be held the latter part of the month and the Auto Drivers will have a smoker on Tuesday the 16th, from 8 to 12 p. m. Mr. Mills seems to have had the popular idea when he added the Bungalow, for it has been the favorite meeting place for many citizens since the opening. PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES By Mary Wilburn Fields One of the greatest revivals in the history of the church was closed last week, with the baptizing Sunday morning of 46 converts in the Mississippi River, which was witnessed by a large crowd of both white and colored. Preaching, covenant and extending the hand of fellowship to the converts were the features of the 3 o'clock service Sunday night. Rev J. W. Clay, the pastor of King Solomon Baptist Church, of Kansas City, Kansas, preached a stirring sermon. His services in aiding our worthy pastor in his great revival are indeed highly appreciated. With our hearts and souls still stirred with the blessings of the past few weeks let us turn our minds to the free Thanksgiving dinner given to the public at large for a number of years. All persons who desire to help us by giving donations please write or send to the residence of the pastor, Rev J. K. Parker, 1518 Goode Avenue, or to the church, Elliot and Wash St. Help us, friends, and God shall bless you. The B. Y. P. U. is progressing and invites you to come out at 6:00 o'clock every Sunday evening and join us. The literary society convenes every Thursday night from 8:30 to 10:30 Everyone is welcome to come out and help us to make this society second to none in St. Louis. Such is the aim of the president, Dr. J. E. Hurt and all the other officers and members. We shall extend our sympathy to Mrs. Sweetie Sydnor, whose mother was buried from our church Monday at 1:00 o'clock. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. J. K. Parker. Rev. J. K. Parker will leave the city Monday for a ten days' vacation. It requires money to send out literature and organise the fight against segregation. The people should respond liberally and promptly. B. T. Washington Suffers Breakdown nNew York New York, Nov. 12—Suffering from a nervous breakdown, Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Muskegee Institute, is confined in a private room in St. Luke's Hospital here. Dr. Washington was taken to the hospital last Friday after an examination by Dr. W. A. Bastedo, who is now in charge of the case. The examination was made by advice of Seth Low, who is a trustee of the institute. "Dr. Washington has been suffering from severe headaches or more than a month," said Dr. Bastedo tonight. "His condition became serious enough to alarm the trustees, who I understand, have no successor in mind for the position of principal. "There is a noticeable hardening of the arteries and he is extremely nervous. Although he believes he is about 50 years old, I should say he is considerably older. "Racial characteristics are, I think, in part responsible for Dr. Washington's breakdown." LIFE TERM PRISONER SEARCH ES FOR WITNESS TO PROVE INNOCENCE Granville Bell, a prisoner doing a life sentence in the U. S. Penltentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., says he is innocent and has succeeded in proving name up to the last link in the chain of evidence, which is the locating of the following witness, Nancy Massey (Colored), maiden name was Alice Jones. When last heard from she was living at Okmulgee, Okla. Was later said to be in Lincoln, Neb. Bell says his only hope for freedom is in locating this person. Any information should be sent to Granville Bell, P. O. Box 7, Leavenworth, Kan., or St. Louis Argus, 2341 Market St. F. F. MARTYN NOT ARRESTED According to the latest information there has been no arrest made in the case of Rev. F. F. Martyn, former pastor of the First Baptist Church. Inquiry at the local police headquarters and the U.S. District Attorney's office shows that no order or warrant has been issued for his arrest, at the time of our inquiry.

Milton Turner Buried With Great Honors The largest crowd that ever attended a funeral service in this city paid its last sad respects to the remains of our great statesman, orator and scholar, J. Milton Turner, at St. Paul Church last Sunday. The services were in charge of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Missouri, A. F. and A. M. Hon. Nelson C. Crews, Most Worshipful Grand Master, of Kansas City, presided. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks conducted the religious services. Dr. M. O. Rickets, of St. Joseph, delivered the culogy. Other speakers were Prof. A. R. Chinn, of Glasgow; J. H. Kenner, of Marshall, and Congressman L. C. Dyer. Each paid a high tribute to the life of the deceased. Many resolutions were read. Several prominent men from all over the state, including the members of the Masonic Grand Lodge. The floral offerings were very beautiful, a large arch forming the center of the group. Out-of-town flowers were sent from Ardmore, Okla., by Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Young, Mrs. Anna Lewis, Miss Sarah Green and the Masonic Lodge. The funeral was conducted by L. S. Williams and Son, undertakers, at 3232 Pine Street. The body laid in state Saturday from four to seven and several hundred persons viewed the remains. A complete automobile service was given and the body interred in Father Dickson Cemetery. The casket was very valuable, being copper lined and air tight. It is the opinion of Mr. Williams that the body will remain in good condition for a half century or more. TURNER MEMORIAL PLANNED A number of citizens have been meeting during the week for the purpose of arranging for a memorial to J. Milton Turner. This will be held at an early date and the full details will be in next week's Argus. Preaching at 11 O'clock. Choir Processional at 10:50 Service started last Sunday promptly at 11 o'clock. Dr. Shaw as usual preached a soul stirring sermon. We regret to say that the choir was a little late getting in their places. The progressive policy of this church must be carried out. Every department of the church is working in harmony to bring about this end. It has been well said, "Go to the Metropolitan Church to meet your friends or strangers." Everybody welcome. ST. PAUL NOTES A crowded house greeted Dr. Brooks last Sunday morning to hear him speak on the question of segregation. His sermon was well delivered and full of logic. He told his hearers that each one owed it to himself and to his race to do all they could to defeat this measure. "It takes prayer, it takes money, it takes self-respect on our part. We must make friends with the other races, too," said Dr. Brooks. SPECIAL SERMON AT ALL SAINTS_CHURCH Rev. J H. Lever, church missionary to the city hospitals, will preach at All Saints Church, Sunday morning, November 14, at 11 o'clock. Mr Lever is a very interesting speaker and is no stranger at All Saints. Appropriate music will be rendered by the reorganized choir. All are cordially invited to attend. LEONARD AVENUE BAPTIST NOTES Sunday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock is the regular meeting of the women's mission circle. The women are doing great work in all their departments, and they are highly appreciated. The sewing circle meets every week. Pastor Dunavant is much pleased with the faithful work of our earnest Christian women. The Sunday-school, which meets at 1:00 p. m., will be presented with a new silk banner made by the woman of the church. The banner will be presented by the superintendent, Mrs. Lula Alexander. The class reporting the largest sum of money each Sunday will be entitled to hold the banner.

PRICE 5 CENTS NATIONAL NEWS NOTES OF GENERAL INTEREST Brief Bits of News and Comment on Men and Measures. Supplied by The National News Bureau. The Presidential Nomination Washington, D. C.—Hon. Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the Republican National Executive Committee, announces that many candidates for the Republican nomination for president next year are entering the field for the pre-convention contest. Among those mentioned are: Former Senator Elihu Root, of New York; Senator Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa; Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho; former Vice-President Charles W. Fairbanks, of Indiana; former Senator Theodore B. Burton, of Ohio; Senator John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts; Senator William Alden Smith, of Michigan; Senator Charles Curtis, of Kansas; Senator L. Y. Sherman, of Illinois; former Governor Myron T. Herrick, of Ohio; Governor Charles S. Whitman, of New York; and H. D. Estabrook, a prominent and eloquent lawyer of New York City, who delivered the principal address at the annual meeting of the Advertising Clubs of America held in Chicago last June. From now on, it will be interesting to note how prominent Colored men of national reputation "line up." It is said that Hon. Charles W. Anderson, who has just been appointed Supervisory Agent of the State Agricultural Department, and Hon. Fred R. Moore, of The New York Age, appointed minister to Liberia by President Taft, will support Governor Whitman; former Assistant Attorney General William H. Lewis, of Boston, will support Senator Weeks; Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor of the Navy Department, under Presidents Roosevelt and Taft, will support Senator Burton, while George A. Myers and Editor H. C. Smith have not yet decided whom they will support. As a rule, however, it is expected that the leading Colored men in the various states will follow their "favorite sons." The Southern leaders are against any candidate with "illy-white" leanings, and are already at work "sounding" the candidates. Washington, Oct. 26.—The African Republic of Liberia has become the center of a controversy between the Allies and Germany which has involved the United States. The little country is accused of committing violations of neutrality and the United States has sent the Cruiser Chester to Monrovia, and deemed it expedient to send a new minister, James L. Curtis, to replace George W. Buckner, who is ill. New York, N. Y.—In the primaries conducted in New York City recently John M. Royall, a Colored candidate for alderman, won the nomination and his name appeared on the ballot in the November election. If elected to the aldermanic chair in New York City, Mr. Royall will be the first man of the race to occupy such an honorable and influential position in the city of New York. He is a leading real estate dealer and has won the confidence of the Colored people of New York as no recent political leader among them has done. He is a credit to his race. Y. W. C. A. NOTES Vesper service was held Sunday afternoon in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church. Mr. Edward S. Williams, of Bannekeer School, gave a most interesting talk. Words of welcome and encouragement were made by the pastor, Rev. B. G. Shaw. Program for our week of dedication can be read in this week's issue of the paper. Members of the Association are asked to meet Sunday, November 14, at 4 p.m., at the old building to prepare for the opening of our building on Sunday, November 21. Every member is urged to be present. We are inviting all fraternal and benevolent organizations, churches, women's clubs, girls' clubs, business men and citizens to co-operate with us on the occasion of the dedication of our new quarters from Sunday, November 21, to November 27. NEW ELLEARDSVILLE PARK Plans have been drawn for a new park, play ground and public comfort station in the Ellcardsville district. The plans can be seen at the office of the custodian of city buildings in the Municipal Courts Building. The idea was advanced by the Ellcardsville Civic League.

SUTCLIFFE National Department of Mine, Moody Bank Institute of Chicago PETER H. 1. Salvation. We have space to mention o m l y three things suggested by t h i s word. Salvation means a saving from a sickness and restoration to health; for sin is a disease. A common biblical symbol of sin is leprosy, an incurable and loathsome disease. There is m u c h similarity between this and sin. For instance; there are many so-called remedies for leprosy but none can be found to really stop its spread. The sinner too has many remedies for his sin but nothing that men can do can arrest its progress. Again, leprosy becomes painful and distressing. Sin acts the same way. Hence we are told that "the wicked are like the troubled sea when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace saith my God to the wicked." Sin begins quietly but ends, like leprosy, with bitter pain and distress. Again, leprosy is fatal to the one afflicted. It might well be called a living death. It is thus with sin. Many are today well and sound of body, but surely afflicted by sin. As far as their souls are concerned they are in a living death. The difference between the leper and the sinner is that the former gets rid of his trouble at death, but the latter must take his pain and distress with him. But salvation means the saving from sin to perfect health. Man alone can find no cure for his sin but Christ can and has. It is found in his own blood which "cleanseth us from all sin." In the second place salvation means a saving from punishment; for sin is a crime as well as a disease. Salvation brings to the sinner a full and free pardon for every crime against the law of God; such a pardon that every trace of the evil committed is wiped from the sinner's record. Without such salvation the punishment for each sin must fall upon the sinner. And the punishment of sin is an awful thing; described as being torment and anguish and that eternal. But in this common salvation there is found relief from all the guilt, and pardon for every crime. "Let the sinner torseke his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts and let him return unto the Lord and he will have mercy upon him and to our God for he will abundantly pardon." In the third place salvation means the saving from death which is the result of the disease and the reward of the crime. It means the exchanging of eternal death for eternal life. "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." If any should enquire how this health instead of sickness, this pardon instead of guilt, and this life instead of death can be obtained, the apostle answers, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." 2. Common—The "common" salvation suggests its wideness and means that it is shared by all alike. God is no respecter of persons and when he provided the common salvation he provided it to be shared by all alike. Whether white or black, moral or immoral, learned or illiterate, cultured or vulgar, all share alike in this "common" salvation. Again, this word means that the salvation is a universal thing. It is provided for every member of the human race. This is what the apostle means when he says, "whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." And, the last chapter of the Bible says, "Whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely." The common salvation means that which is needed by all, provided for all, brought to all and offered to all, including the reader of these lines. 3. The. This word speaks of the narrowness as "common" speaks of the wideness. It is not in" salvation, but "the." It is not provided by man, nor can it be. It is just here that sinners go wrong and think they can evolve some scheme whereby they can cure themselves of the disease and do enough good deeds to counterbalance the evil and so avoid the punishment due to sin. But if we would have the salvation that saves from the disease of sin, and the pardon that covers the crime of sin, we must come to the Lord, with whom salvation is to be found. "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life." And when the Son came to be the Savior of men he gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity. He topp the sin and all its consequences, the crime and all its punishment, and gives to all who will receive it "the common salvation" in their place. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course of Mooey Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright 1918, Western Newman Bible LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 14 DANIEL IN THE KING'S COURT. LESSON TEXT-Daniel 1:19-16, 19, 20. GOLDEN TEXT-Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. -I Cor. 19:18. This familiar story has been selected for the "World's Temperance Sunday"—it is the first record of his Babylonian experiences and is an illustrious example of those everlasting principles which govern a successful life. 1. Daniel's Position, on vv. 1-7. Nebuchadnezzar, on the death of his father, returned to Babylon from besieging Jerusalem to take the throne. He carried with him Jehoiakim and a number of young men, "in whom was no blemish" (14). They were perhaps twelve years old. Among these were four who had been particularly selected for plious training and the name of each is compounded with the name of God; Daniel's meaning—"God is my judge." They are now alone in a licentious heathen palace and absolutely at the power of the king and his court. Their names are now changed; Daniel becomes Belteshazar—"favored of Bel." Such changing of names is customary in most heathen or Mohammedan lands even today. A still greater danger or temptation confronts these young men, viz., that the king appointed them "a daily portion of the king's meat" (Am. Rev. v. 5). To refuse to eat" invited ridicule and perhaps loss of life, but to eat was to break the Jewish law as to food (Deut. 12:23-25). See also (I Cor. 8:7-10; 10:27-28). Their captivity had been foretold (II Kings 20:17), but a change of location and name does not involve a change of heart as many a tempted one has discovered. These men in spite of natural appetites, danger of being thought peculiar, or even gratitude to-king for lives preserved refused to eat the king's meat and to drink his wine. II. Daniel's Purpose, 18:13. The real purpose of a man's heart not alone governs his acts but reveals what he is—God looks upon that when he judges men (II Cor. 9:7; 8:12; Luke 16:15). "Without will (purpose) there is no character" (Acts 11:23). Daniel purposed "in his heart" not to defile "himself." No compromise, no trimming because of being away from home, no partnership with the rich and opulent court. Daniel was to be "as clean as hound's tooth." Men who dare to stand alone always find co-operation, so Daniel found those who stood by him (v. 12). Daniel exercised great tact in his dealings with the prince of the eunuchs but God had evidenced his protecting and leading care (v. 9) enabling him to win his way and persuade the eunuch to allow the suggested test (v. 12). If Christian workers would exercise more tact they would more frequently attain their desired ends (Luke 16:8). It is possible to be so unbendingly putational as to lay us open to a charge of pharisaical pride. Daniel illustrates spotless purity, inflexible loyalty mingled with a sweet reasonableness that always gains its ends. Daniel had sufficient confidence in his God and faith in his actions to be willing to be submitted to the acid test of experience. His was a religion that could stand without being tied. III. Daniel's Profit (Reward), vv. 14-21. Pulse denotes such vegetables as beans and peas. Their diet was 'to be a general vegetable one. Samson as a Nazarite drank no wine. This age has, yet to fully comprehend the reasonableness and efficacy of those ancient Jewish laws of sanitation and diet. Myriads of men are today digging their graves with their teeth. The result of this test was that Daniel and his companions were delivered from transgressing God's laws and the prince of the eunuchs from being punished because of the physical condition of his charges. Beauty, health, and strength came to Daniel and his friends with the result of preferment, position, and influence at court (v. 19). They "stood before the king," (Rom. 14:10-12) I Cor. 3:10-15 II Cor. 59); (a) because of their unswerving loyalty to God and obedience to his Word (John 14:15; 16:26 R. V.); (b) because of their life of prayer, for it is the work of the Holy Spirit to give unto us wisdom (Luke 2:15, Acts 6:10) even as Daniel was thus blessed (v. 17) the spirit bestows diverse gifts I Cor. 12:14-11); (c) and finally because having a special place in the purposes and plans of God their lives were counted precious in his sight (v. 27). Verily, "He that doeth the will of God abideth forever." Temperance Application.—This lesson suggests the value of total abstinence. "No user of tobacco has ever taken first honor at Harvard."—Longtellow. Temperance and self-control must begin in the home and be perpetuated in the strength and power of God which alone comes through an intelligent knowledge and obedience of his Word. There is no way to win success except by means of a complete victory; to compromise is to fail. The loyalty of such in not earth born and their victories are superhuman. ```markdown ``` Phone, Bemont 2323 Large Padded Vans CAN MOVE YOU AS REASONABLE AS Prompt Service Phone, Be NO ONE CAN MOVE PETER BARNEY MOVING AND EXPRESS Packing, Shipping and Store Second-Hall FULL LINE OF FALL AND W Full Dress LEVY GREEN Oliver 711 North Sixth Street OULVEY'S The Old JEFFERSON AND CUT RAT This Store is often in Shipping and Storage.

NEW METHOD TO REMOVE GREASE FROM HAIR AFTER TREATMENT 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 stiffy and greaseless, giving a natural effect. The preparation is absolutely harmless and 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. Dr. Roscoe C.

IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of my dear husband, Fred U. Lillard, who departed this life, November 11, 1914. I often sit and think of you when all alone, For memory is the only thing that grief can call its own; Though my heart with grief is broken, And my lips with sorrow dumb. Faithful is the promise spoken, Resurrection day will come. And the beloved one that was taken, Shall to life and love awaken; For our dear one is sleeping till the resurrection morn. Sadly missed by wife, Mrs. Ida M. Lillard. IN MEMORIAM In memory of my dear, beloved husband, John A. Bridgeford, who departed this life one year ago, November 9, 1914. One year ago you left me. How I miss you, dear. And remember all your kindness, As I drop a silent tear. And now you calmly sleep at last, All grief, all pain, all suffering past, God, loving you, did think it best To take you to eternal rest. Sadly missed by your loving wife, Harrisett Bridgeford.

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.

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.

THEATRES THEATRES BRIGHT-SMITH PLAYERS SCORE HIT IN-DRAMA The Bright-Smith Players at the Booker Washington Theater this week are scoring a decided hit in a serious drama, entitled, "Our Father." The plot abounds in domestic difficulties, thrilling surprises and dramatic turns. There is neither singing nor dancing, but the intense interest created by the play makes one forget these. There are nine members in the company. Joe Bright, as Father, is an ideal actor of rare ability. Noisy Speedy Smith keeps up the comedy. The other members play their parts well and the presentation is worth going miles to see. Next week the company will present a comedy-entitled, "The Insult." There will be plenty of singing and dancing. DAINTY THERESA BOR- ROUGHS-BROOKS This little lady, a real favorite here, is a member of the Bright-Smith Players showing at the Booker Washington this week. The play, "Our Father," is a creation of her late husband, a St. Louisan, Marion A. Brooks. Brooks will be well remembered for his amateur days with the old Dumas Dramatic Club. Mrs Brooks is a delightful song and dance artist and we will see her at her best next week in the comedy, "The Insult." AT THE MOVIE THEATRE Saturday, November 13.—"After Dark," in five parts. The greatest photoplay production ever shown. Sunday.—"The Dragon's Claws" Monday.—Episode of Wallingford's Adventures and Tom Mix. Tuesday.—Benefit day for the Washington Metropolitan Church.

To whom it may concern: 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 examination 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 proud and happy because I am a graduate of the Oxford System and find all of my customers so well pleased. I am gaining new customers every day and must thank you again, I beg to remain, Yours truly, Mme. Fields-Voting, Agt. 49th and 31st St., New York City. Major's Oxford College, St. Louis, Mo. To whom it may concern: With many thanks for meeting the name of Oxford College, I will say that I have had some dealings with white colleges in the city of Chicago but find in the Oxford-College more pleasure and better understanding than any of the others I have dealt with. In truth I find pleasure in my work for the simple reason, your preparations have given me much satisfaction and when I am pleased with the results, I know my customers must be—at least I have found it so—so far. I trust to be successful. Elizabeth Friers, Your Agent, 1540 Pratt Blvd., Chicago, Ill.
