Free Baptists Sunday School Convention The Crystal City District Sunday-school Convention, held its semi-annual session at the First Free Baptist Church, 3932 Papin Street, November 18 to 21. This is an organization composed of all the Free Baptist Sunday-schools in Missouri west of the Mississippi River and east of a north and south line drawn through the center of the state. All things considered, the session was well attended and all reported progress in their respective schools. Many interesting papers were read before the convention. Among the most interesting and helpful were as follows: "The Relation of the Pastor to the Sunday-school," by Mr. John Fowler, of Fastus, Mo., "Looking Forward," by Mrs. Estella Higginbotham, of Hematite, Mo., "The Sunday-school Superintendent," by Miss Ida B. Woods, of St. Louis, and "Woman's Work," by Miss Savanna Reynolds, of St. Louis. Much time was given to Institute work, under the direction of Miss Reynolds, who serves as District Instructor. She was ably assisted by Mrs. Mary F. Fowler, of Festus, Mo., Mrs. Geneva I. Huston and Rev. A. H. Bestic, of St. Louis. Every part of Sunday-school work was taken up and discussed to the end that all the schools in the district shall be uniform in all their efforts and better results obtained. Rev. H. Thomas, our amiable pastor at Potosi, Mo., was with us throughout the session and proved to be a great help because of his experience and length of service in the Free Baptist cause. In his closing remarks the president asked that the interest shown through the session be kept up, and that every one return to their respective school with the determination to do a greater work. Miss Irene McMinn and Mrs. Estella Higginbotham alternated at the organ. Officers: R. Q. Wright, President. Mrs. G. I. Huston, Secretary. Mrs. M. W. Fowler, Treasurer. Miss S. Reynolds, Dist. Inst.

This is the best company that has ever been seen at the Booker Washington. The members are all stars. Bob Russell is conceded to be one of the greatest producers on the stage today, and all of his plays are smoothly and artistically acted. He is an exponent of clean and wholesome comedy and is well supported by Billy Owens, George and Anna Freeman, Baby Mack, and other footlight celebrities. Their return to St. Louis next week is hailed with much joy by theater goers. LANE TABERNACLE NOTES Rev. N. L. Smith, pastor, preached a powerful sermon last Sunday morning on "Christian Unity."

Young McKoin was, for a number of years, the embalmer and assistant funeral director for the firm of Harrison and McKoin, being a graduate embalmer from the Northwestern University at Chicago, Ill. Starting with the business in its infancy he was largely instrumental in bringing it up to its present standard of efficiency. Being of an affable and affectionate disposition his friends were numerous, as was signified by the many floral tributes and letters of sympathy received at the family residence. The interment took place Monday morning from the residence, thence to the family lot at St. Peters Cemetery. Farewell our darling brother, Farewell our loving son. Farewell our loving son, Farewell, we'll meet you yonder, When e'er our work is done. The blessed Saviour calls you Where suffering is no more, Where angels hover 'round you On that celestial shore.

It was one of the best trips enjoyed in the ten years of their real hunting days. This club was organized twenty years ago, and has missed but one annual hunt. Each year proves to be more of a success than the year previous. This is the only Negro Hunting Club, organized in Missouri. The club has a system of collecting their funds during the year, so as to avoid the loss of time, at the annual "meet." Every member's expenses are paid on this occasion. A fast train killed one of our best dogs this year, but game was so plentiful that we did not seriously feel his loss. The simple whirl of a club was all that was needed (so states Col. J. L. Moore). After their return, the president called a meeting, and requested all members to practice target shooting, so as to get a larger variety of game, such as quail, turkeys, deer, and prairie chicken. Every member is requested to pay his dues promptly, so as to make this the banner year of all, their previous hunts. The following are the cabinet officers: President, J. L. Moore; vice-president, Grant Tolbert; secretary, Anderson Ramey; treasurer, Frank Enloe; property man, Bud Peach.

DEAR SIR: Having taken your medicine with such good results, I wish to inform you what effect it had upon me. Several years ago my physicians treated me for indigestion and liver trouble, and was later told by them that an operation would be necessary. I took all kinds of medicines, with no results. Two weeks ago my condition was such that I was forced to allow the physicians to hold a consultation, at which the consensus of opinion was that an operation would be the only relief for me. My mind was made up to have been performed, and had decided to go to an infirmary, but a friend heard of my intentions and advised me not to go to the expense, trouble and probably the loss of my life, when a cure could be effected by the use of your Remedy. I took a bottle which swept a greenish mass from my system, including a number of genuine gall stones. Thank heaven, I took my friend's advice about your wonderful Stomach and Liver Preparation. Symptoms in my case were clouded brain, costed tongue, sluggish on rising in the morning, had gas on my stomach, and oftentimes had pains in my side and back. I write this hoping it may reach some person who is suffering from stomach and liver trouble. Am employed by the Nashville Fire Department and will always recommend your medicine. CAPT. F. M.

"That slavery was a vast school, in which a superior race trained an inferior one in the fundamentals of civilization, was the contention of Prof. C. S. Boucher of the department of history at Washington University, in an address on 'The Old Regime and the New in the South,' Monday afternoon in Graham Memorial Chapel. "The best results for both whites and blacks, Prof. Boucher believes, can only be obtained by a more sympathetic relationship between both races. 'A revival of the plantation system,' Prof. Boucher declared, 'based on free labor instead of slavery, is accomplishing much in some districts of the South today.' "Prof. Boucher's lecture was the sixth of the current series of extension lectures being given by the faculty of Washington University." We quote from the "Globe-Democrat" an abbreviated account of Prof. Boucher's lecture on "The Old and New Regime in the South," delivered at the Washington University Monday afternoon. Prof. Boucher should be named Prof. Butcher, for he certainly butchers history and moral philosophy at the same time. He says, "Slavery was a vast school where the superior race trained the inferior one in the fundamentals of civilization." We wonder if holding a man as a chattel is a fundamental of civilization, or is it "a wild and guilty phantasy," as declared by Lord Brougham, who also said, "There is a higher law written by the finger of God upon the heart of every man." It would seem that nothing of the kind was written upon the heart of Prof. Boucher. Was separating parents and children, wives and husbands, among the fundamentals of civilization? "What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder." Was making the South a hotbed of bastardy and subjecting colored women and maidens to the beastly lusts of their masters "civilization?" Are unrequited toil, squallor and enforced ignorance promoters of civilization? Are the thrum and the lash civilizing instruments? No, Professor, slavery kept the Negro back two centuries and threw the white Southerner back nearly a thousand years. We challenge Prof. Boucher to cite one nation in the known world, civilized or barbarous, where brutalities as hideous and demoniac are committed as the master race in the South committed upon the Negro. When the Jews were driven into the Tower of London and had to cast out their children to the bloody mob to sate its thirst; when Pekin was taken and Chinese women ravished and then fastened to the floor by bayonets stuck into them; when Kossacks disembodied Jews at Kishinev, and when Bulgarians tossed infants up and caught them on the point of their bayonets, the civilized world cried "Horror!" But when Sam Hose was burned alive in Georgia, his eyes burned out with torturing irons and his body dismembered; when, not long ago in Mississippi, a Negro was nailed in a pine box, saturated with oil and set on fire, scarcely a single note of condemnation was heard anywhere in the land. This moral callousness is an awful condition for a people to exhibit who claim to be civilized. So you see, Professor, slavery cursed the white man and retarded the Negro. It still hangs over the South like a nightmare; it benumbs its moral and intellectual energies; it warps men's capacities for thought, just as it has injured Prof. Boucher's, who cannot see that oppression is not advancement and that the oppressor cannot hold the oppressed down unless he wallows in the mire with him. The South is down, morally, and not up yet, but the Negro is rising up. Slavery was not a blessing. It set the clock of the South back. It was a curse to the Negro and the South, for which we paid in millions of lives and billions of money. THAT ROSENWALD GIFT "Tell me the company you keep and I will tell you what you are" is an old maxim. But the modern word best suited is, "Tell me who your associates are and I will tell you what you are." The Young Men's Christian Association stands for the throwing around the man or boy that Christian influence that no other organization can do. It stands for the training of the spirit, mind and body. It was for Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the Jew, of Chicago, president of Sears, Roebuck & Co., to see the diamonds in the rough among the colored men. It was he who did the Big Thing—the thing that stirred men everywhere to do more for their fellow-men. Six years ago he made the challenge that he would give $25,000 to any city that would raise $75,000 to build and equip a Y. M. C. A. for colored men and boys. What a wonderful gift! No man can tell, or even prophesy with any certainty, the good such a gift will do. Twelve cities have met the challenge of Mr. Rosenwald. The men of St. Louis will be given their opportunity next week to help themselves. No man should do more for you than you are willing to do for yourselves. THE ST.

There is too much one-man power in the executive branch of our government. It requires neither intellect nor courage to abuse the Negro. At any time you can hear men of the "Vardaman" and "Tom Dixon" class abusing him, the "low-down Negro," casting upon him terrible villification. Don't mind these detractors; they are simply describing themselves. ASK GATES & MANUEL AFTER Paying the Doctor and the Druggist, is it wise to spend your last Dollar For the Funeral?

Theater this week in an olio and a western comedy-drama entitled "Faro Dan's Last Dream." The olio opens with a sketch by Albert and Mary White, entitled, "Sal's Revenge." The skit is full of comedy and some good singing. McComico and his manikin, in a ventrilouist act, follows. The pair extract much humor out of their act. "Faro Dan" is replete with music, comedy and tragedy. Albert White makes a good villain and Tim Moore furnishes the fun. Several tuneful song numbers are introduced and the act closes in a thrilling climax. Next week, the Russell-Owens Company will present "College Girls." This is the company that took St. Louis, by storm a few weeks ago, and is sure to please the Booker Washington crowd. "Slim Jim" Austin and his wife, Laura, vaudeville performers, passed through the city this week en route from Wisconsin to Arkansas.

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. 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. PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES By Mary Wilburn Fields Much good was done in serving the free Thanksgiving dinner this year (as was also done on a number of previous ones). Between 500 and 600 people were fed in the early part of the day. At night a dumb watch entertainment was given. The members have now centered their interest in the various clubs, formed for the purpose of buying an automobile for the pastor as a Christmas gift. A passion play was given Tuesday night, under the direction of Dr. Richardson for the benefit of the mission circle. The Literary Society, at their last meeting, on the 18th of November, had as a general theme for discussion, "The life and death of our own Booker T. Washington." A committee on resolutions was appointed by the vice-president, of which Mrs. Josephine Brown was chairman, Mrs. Mary Fields, secretary. The committee reports as follows: We, your committee on resolutions, beg leave to express our heartfelt sympathy with the bereaved family, in mourning the loss of one of the world's greatest orators, statesmen and educators, the world has ever known. Be it therefore resolved, That we, as citizens of St. Louis, and members of Pleasant Green Literary Society, take these means of showing our appreciation for the good works we has done. Be it therefore resolved, That our society shall ever tread in the footprints of this great man, left so phiny in the sands of time, worthy of imulation. For the path of glory leads but to the grave. The Polar Wave Lodge, of the order of Elks, shall have their memorial sermon Sunday. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Quarterly meeting will be held at St. Paul, Sunday, December 5. The St. Paul, Sunday, December 5. The Perry Thurman, presiding elde will preach at 11 a. m. and at 8 p. m. Rev. Wm. H. Peck, of St. James Church, will preach the Sacrament Sermon at 3 p. m. All are cordially invited. W. Sampson Brooks, Pastor. LEONARD AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES Last Sunday was rally day, for the purpose of raising money to pay for church repairs. The new roof and gutter are completed and cost about 75 dollars, which sum was raised in the rally. Pastor Donnovant has arranged for a series of meetings for the saving of souls. The first of the series started last week and will continue for several weeks. The sermon last Sunday morning by the pastor, on "Sacrifice," was timely and very appropriate, and had much to do with the success of the rally. QUARTERLY MEETING AT FIRST FREE BAPTIST CHURCH The Crystal City Quarterly Meeting convened at 2 p. m. November 18 at the First Free Baptist Church. 3936 Papin St. The moderator, Rev. A. H. Bostic, led in devotional exercises by reading the eighteenth Psalm. Prayer was offered by Rev. H. Thomas, of De Soto, Mo. The meeting was a success, spiritually and financially. During the Sunday morning session, space was given for memorial exercises in honor of Dr. Booker T. Washington. His achievements speak more eloquently than mortal tongue can express. The session closed to meet with St. John's Church, Mineral Point, Mo., May 18, 1916. All the delegates expressed themselves as being greatly encouraged to do more earnest work for the master. The royal way the delegates were entertained will not soon be forgotten. Rev. A. H. Bostic, Moderator. Miss Mary W. Fowler, Sec'y. PROVIDENCE BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES There was no small stir among Baptist ministers last week as to what relation they should sustain to the remains of Rev. Geo. W. Smith, D. D. on the occasion of his funeral at Providence Baptist Church. Quite a number of ministers turned out and paid a fine tribute to Rev. Smith. A great throng of people, representing all walks of life, were present to honor his memory. The pastor, Rev. E. C. Cole, will deliver a special discourse, Sunday morning at 11 a. m. on the death of Dr. Smith. Rev. Dr. J. O. Griffin, the noted evangelist of Paducah, Ky., is delivering powerful sermons to a crowded house every night. Great interest is being manifested in the meetings. He wants 150 additions in this meeting. Fascinating crochet and embroidery or holiday gifts. Handkerchiefs, wash cloths, towels, cuffs, collars, anything for anybody who admires art needlework.

SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course of Moody Bible In Chicago). (Copyright 1911, Western Newspaper Union. UZZIAH'S PRIDE AND PUNISHMENT. LESSON TEXT-II Chron. 26:2-10, 15-21 GOLDEN TEXT-A man's pride shall bring him low, but he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honor.-Prov. 29:23 R. V. Again we consider the southern kingdom. No better character could have been chosen to illustrate the condition of rulers and people in the declining days of Judah's glory. Uzziah ruled for 52 years and his reign was almost midway between the days of Solomon and those of the Babylonian captivity. I. Priest and Parents, vv. 15. The name Uzziel means "God has helped me," and no king ever had better advantages in the way of parents and counselors. To the influence of his parents he yielded in his youth (v. 4), followed the good counsel of Zachariah the prophet of God (v. 5), and as long as he sought the Lord, "God made him prosper." Ancestry and environment are not, however, a guarantee of any perpetuity in character. II. Pride, vv. 6-15. Uzziah or Azariah (marg.) made a fine start and his reign, considered as a whole, was one of the most brilliant in Judah's history. It bears some striking resemblances to that of Solomon in that the dangerous enemies became subject nations (v. 8). In the conduct of his campaigns Uzziah "waxed exceedingly strong" (v. 8: R. V.) Uzziah also greatly improved and strengthened Jerusalem and gave much heed to stock raising and forestry (v. 10). The secret of all of this prosperity was that he sought Jehovah. Christendom is not Christianity, yet it is a fact that in those lands where God is most highly exalted and most nearly followed we witness the greatest prosperity and men living amidst the most comfortable surroundings. Seek Jehovah, know his will as revealed in his word, and do that when learned, is the only true basis of real and lasting prosperity. Uzziah also gave an exhibition of worldly wisdom that he strengthened the defenses of the nation' (v. 9-10). Confidence in God does not paralyze human energy or make us presumptuous and careless (I Chron. 27:25-31). Uzziah brought the army up to a high point of efficiency (v. 13-16), using the best weapons known in his day. We, likewise, may be "marvelously helped" from the same source and upon the same conditions; viz., that we "seek the Lord" (Eph. 6:10; Phi 5:13). III. Punishment, vv. 16-21. (1) Pride — Uzziah's fall and shame is one of the saddest chapters in history. His strength became his ruin. "When he was strong his heart was lifted up." Poverty, struggle and adversity are not passports to glory though they have strengthened the moral fiber of thousands. The tempting tests of prosperity, gilded, perfumed and attractive are, however, far more hard to withstand. Pride always leads to (2) Presumption—Centuries before God had warned men that prosperity would lead to ruin (Deut. 8:11-17; 12:13-15) and Solomon also gave warning (Prov. 16.18). The subtlety of pride is the gradual way by which we come to look upon our prosperity as the work of our own hands, thereby forgetting the source of our power and becoming filled with a feeling of our own self-sufficiency. The next step was that Uzziah assumed to himself those duties (v. 16) which rightfully and exclusively belonged to the priesthood (see Num. 16:40; 18:7; Kings 12:33; 12:1-4; Heb. 5:4). (3) Protesting—We now behold the strange spectacle of the king protesting for the wrong and the faithful priests Azariah for the right. A sad spectacle indeed when the head of a nation openly avows the wrong and persists in it despite the protests of the servants of God. The last part of verse 18 indicates the extent and perversity of Uzziah's pride. Admonition only aroused the anger of the all-conquering monarch. No honor ever comes from disobeying God (I Sam. 2:30; Dan. 5:17). Uzziah apparently (v. 19) was about to use the censer in his hand as a weapon in execution of his wrath, but God interfered (I Peter 6:6-7). Azariah is saved and Uzziah becomes a leaper. We must not press the teaching that all sickness is the result of sin (read Job). Uxziah was forever separated (v. 21) and was in his death "unclean" because "His heart was lifted to his destruction." There are four suggestions in closing: (1) Uxziah's pride, had gone too far; secretly and perhaps unconsciously it had slowly, but surely permeated his whole nature. (2) Leprosy was a fitting punishment, for it was an emblem of the foulness of his sin. (3) His leprous condition was in marked contrast with what he had formerly enjoyed. (4) His punishment shut him out effectually from the work of his kingdom-ability, strength, experience and ambition fall before the blighting blast of sin. A. B. Because of the vast variety of makes. Because of the famous names and world-wide reputations of the instruments. Because at no other store in this section can these make be seen. Because of the clean, protective Wurlitzer selling policy of one price to everybody and a commission to no one, which means absolutely fair treatment and prevents overcharge. Because all Wurlitzer prices are marked in plain figures and a child can buy as cheaply as the shrewdest bargainer. Because Wurlitzer will give you liberal exchange privileges and refund your money should you find your piano not exactly as represented. Because Wurlitzer exploits only instruments of established standard quality and thereby gives values that will be satisfactory always. Because Wurlitzer manufactures only high grade pianos and sells them to you at the builder's price with all middlemen's profits eliminated.

Strangely fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated lips of this most interesting man whose journey of life has already taken him through all the renowned psychic schools of Egypt, India and the world. He must have knowledge must come from that mysterious world of which we all would know, yet longing, cannot know.

GLADSTONE is not a clairvoyant from choice, but because fate has so decreed it. His ancestors were powerful mediums and have for ages handed down their wonderful power of gift from generation to generation. So he has received the rich inheritance together with the combined knowledge and priceless experience of generations. No matter what your present trouble may be or what your present problem may be, you will save time and avoid disappointment by at once consulting Gladstone. NOTE.—Gladstone answers no letters, if you cannot call in person, do not write, as his time is fully occupied with his personal callers.
