St. Louis Argus

CONTRIBUTORS TO SEGREGATION FUND CONTAINS NAMES OF PROMINENT MEN WITH AMOUNTS RANGING FROM $20 TO $5,000 MARKED PAID. LIST APPARENTLY ONLY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL. SEVERAL WITHOUT ADDRESSES. MANY "CASH" DONATIONS A list of supposed contributors to the campaign now in progress a secure segregation has been turned over to The Argus. It consists of three sheets under the head of the United Welfare Association and affiliated organizations. It is apparent that the list represents but a small percentage of those who subscribed, and indicates that the canvassers have secured a large sum. The names are in different handwritings, and all the amounts mentioned are marked "paid." Among the most prominent names are: D. D. Walker, of My Walker D. G. Co., $5,000; Rolla Wells, former mayor of St. Louis, $150; Robert H. Stockton, of Majestic Range Co., $500; G. H. Walker, $500; A. E. Dann of Simmons Hardware Co., $100; A. B. Hart, 19 Portland Pl., $100; F. M. Curlee, lawyer, $25. The name Paul Brown appears twice, in different handwriting, or $100 each. F. M. Crulee was the Democratic nominee for president of the Board of Aldermen in 1915. There are several names without addresses, and many entries simply signed "Cash." Twenty dollars is the lowest amount subscribed. The evident fact that several of the contributors have hid their identity bears out the Argus' statement, in an editorial February 1, that "a still hunt" was being made by the United Welfare Association to secretly stab the Negro in the dark. Contributors to the fund haven't the backbone to come out in the open. What Prejudice Will Do D. D. Walker, president of the Ely-Walker Dry Goods Company, was the author of an article dealing with some phases of Negro civilization, which appeared on the first page of the Republic in July, 1914. It was erratic, and showed a warped and biased mind. It denounced the Negro as the chief of all social evils, a positive menace to white civilization in this country. So deep is his prejudice against the Negro, that the Welfare crowd found him an easy victim and "touched him" for $5,000. There is little doubt that the originators of this nefarious measure got their inspiration from prejudice, and that prejudice can be traced in the minds of all who are assisting to promote it. VOL.

At Poro College At Poro College There comes a time for work, a time for play, a time to rejoice, a time to express sorrow, and there also comes a time to pay tribute to those whose deeds of noteworthy kindness still linger with us. Regardless to the vast amount of mail which came to "Poro" College Saturday, February 12, two hours were given for a literary program on which the employees of the College took an active part. The program could not, and would not have been complete had America been omitted, for which Mrs. Alberta Hoagland furnished the music. The life of Lincoln was wonderfully pictured, sketching him from the lonely log cabin to his assassination, in 1865, by Prof. A. E. Malone. One could hardly refrain from expressing himself aloud, when Miss Maudelle McMurray repeated Lincoln's Gettysburg Speech, which brought to our memory old school days. The 103rd Anniversary of Lincoln was interestingly given by Miss Mittie Foulkes, which lead to a beautiful quotation from Lincoln by Mrs. Clara Smith-Eaton: "May the vast future not have to lame at that you have neglected it." We might pause here to say that: Preparedness was spoken of, and hit at more than 60 years ago. Then followed a short, yet enthusiastic talk by Mr. John A. McMurray, who gave a vivid idea of Lincoln as a statesman. Quotations from Lincoln by Miss M. A. Goins, Miss Louise Washington, Miss Pearl Linder, and Miss Ida Miller, were very inspiring, after which a most interesting paper, giving the synopsis of Lincoln's life, was rendered by Miss Mary Hardy. Although Lincoln's death was an honorable one, for it was for us that he lived and died, and despite the sad feeling which steals over us, when we mention his assassination, Miss Gladys Reeves, so intelligently mastered Lincoln's Assassination, that all thoughts of a horrible deed left us, to think only of his death as being glorious. The program was closed by remarks from Mr. L. M. Singleton, Miss Hazel daughter, and Mr. Wm. Brown, each summing up what had been said. We feel that these two hours were well spent, and only wish more of our customers and friends could have been present with us. There were 40 present in all. The St. Louis Argus Excitement High As Monday Night Draws Near Contestants for Peerless Queen Will Be Given Banquet by Lodge Members Early in March The reception and ball given by the Benevolent Order of Peerless Knights at Pythian Hall Monday night, February 21st, promises to break all records for attendance. The knowledge that the winner of the voting contest will be crowned Peerless Queen for the year 1916, as well as being presented with a beautiful one-hundred-dollar pair of diamond earrings, has been extensively advertised, and it is safe to predict a attendance for Monday night. The following ladies are in the race for Peerless Queen: Mrs. Clyde Bell, Mrs. Nettie Galloway, Mrs. Jas. T. Cole, Mrs. Florence Gregory, Mrs. Violet Gray, Mrs. J. McDaniels and Mrs. Lillian Casey. It is conceded that any one of the ladies has a splendid chance to win, and as the race is bearing the finish, excitement is at rever heat. The Peerless Knights will give a banquet early in March, in honor of the contestants. Attorney Homer G. Phillips will make the presentation speech Monday night, and Exalted Ruler W. H. King will place the crown upon the head of the fair winner. THEY ARE GIVING HER FLOWERS WHILE SHE LIVES The daughters of the I. B. P.

Congressman L.C.Dyer Speaks At Lincoln Celebration in Washington, D. C., Comes Home to Fight Segregation Special to The Argus. Washington, D. C., Feb. 12.—The 107th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln was observed at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, Tuesday night. Representative L. C. Dyer, of St. Louis, was introduced and spoke at length on "The Progress of the Negro in Fifty Years of Freedom," and gave interesting facts and figures to indicate that Lincoln had served the country nobly in planting the seeds of liberty that resulted in bringing to the nation's support such a sturdy and productive element of citizenship the Negro has proven himself to be. In religion, education, the accumulation of property, and in the world of commerce, industry and agriculture, the advancement of the emancipated millions was the wonder of modern times. He stated his belief in the equality of all men before the law and that for the next two weeks he would be in his home city, St. Louis, laboring to defeat a proposition to be voted on by the electorate there to establish segregation of the races. He was given an ovation. POSTAL CLERK ARRESTED Ira Williams, a postal clerk, of 2806½ Walnut St., was arrested Saturday, February 12, by post-office inspectors. It is charged that Williams was four pocketing four letters while sorting mail. One of the letters was a decoy. RICHARD B In R Richard B.

Davis of Little Rock, Ark., is doing a great work in our church during the revival. He is a man that lets God use him and is filled with the holy ghost. Rev. Davis has just closed a series of meeting at Gallilee Baptist Church. Over fifty additions were made to the church. He is also the brother of Dr. W. O. Davis, who is pastor of First Baptist Church. Pastor Mosley has known them for many years. Everything in Tabernacle is sidetracked for these much-needed services. Pastor Mosley continues to call on the men of his congregation to be prepared to vote against the segregation movement.

Mr. Williams, on his recent trip to Kansas City, where he addressed the Federated Alumni of that city, had an opportunity to examine in detail the Paso Department of the K. C. Y. M. C. A.

REVIVAL IN INTEREST KESLIDERS RECLAIMED. AD- T 3:30 P. M. DR. W. SAMPSON VAL FORCE. The revival at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, which is being conducted by Dr. J. G. Robinson, of Pine Bluff, Ark., is growing in interest each night. Large crowds turn out, and he delivers pow- erful sermons, which take hold of and grip the audience from beginning to close. Dr. Robinson's sermon Tuesday night on the subject of "Repentance" was one of the greatest sermons ever deli- vered in St. Paul, so declare some of the oldest members of the church. There have been conversions and accessions every night. The church has laid aside everything else, and stayed by the meeting. All official meetings have been put off, and nothing but evangelistic work has been the watchword of the church. Many backsliders have been reclaimed; many who have been living in St. Louis for some time, who had not connected themselves with any church have become members of St. Paul, and there have been a large number of conversions. Dr. Robinson, unlike many evangelists, makes no specific charges for his work. He says, "I am here to do all the good I learn in the name of God, and as to compensation, I will take whatever the people want to give me as free will offering." Envelopes have been distributed through the congregation for personal contributions for him, and the pastor and officers will appreciate any contribution for Dr. Robinson's services by those who may have the envelopes, or from anyone else. The doctor will close the meeting Monday night, at which time he will want all the parties who have come into the church during the meeting to be present. Tuesday night the pastor will administer, the sacrament of baptism to those who have been baptized. There will be three sermons preached by the evangelist Sunday. The address Sunday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. will be to men only. It is hoped that a large number of men will come to this service and hear this great address. Mr. W. M. Lewis, the great gospel singer, is rendering wonderful services in the meeting. His singing is earnest, touching, and soul winning. The membership and friends of St. Paul are earnestly requested to come to the remaining services during the revival. Dr. Brooks, the pastor, has shown himself a wonderful spiritual force in this meeting. Dr. Robinson states that he has worked with many of the leading pastors throughout the country in revival meetings and that Dr. Brooks is the most consecrated pastor in a revival for whom he has ever labored.

Porter, Agency Sex the Key to the Bible The World's Three Greatest Books By Sidney C. Taupe, Ph.R. "The Truth about the Bible," about five hundred pages, $3.00. "Why Jesus Was a Man and Not a Woman," three hundred pages, $2.00. "Sexology of the Bible," over one hundred and seventy-books, books treat of the sex of the Bible, and show that the Bible is a book of sex and a book of spirit, and that sex is the dividing line between the physical and spiritual worlds. They show that distressing the sex, and that sex-lust was the original sin and cause of death. They are arresting the attention of the medical, scientific, philosophical and theological world. They are rarely taught in other books of modern times, and will probably do more to shape the thoughts of the human race than any books ever written in the history of the world. They are rarely taught the great warers of all parts of the civilized world. "I would rather be the author of the Truth About the Bible, by Sidney C. Tapp, than to be the President of the Bible. Here is my interpretation of the Bible as the thesis of our daring and his conclusions are so unanswerable that the human-intellect staggers under the ideas presented. For Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible and his sex interpretation of the Bible will live until time shall be no more. Republics may perish and Empires may decay, but these books on the Bible will never die." —Prof. J. Silas Harris, A.M. Mr. Tapp's works on the Bible will do more to empty our jails, insane institutions and hospitals than any other world, in our opinion, to say nothing of the great good, morally and spiritually, that they will do the rename race, that should be in every home and library in the civilized world. We have arranged with the author to teach you the basic principles of book or books you desire to this paper and name of the book or book you want the name will be sent to you at once. ```markdown ``` --- Bell, Bomont Try Mrs. Comora Dooley's Superba Hair Grower And be convinced.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION SEGREGATIONISTS BE The segregationists known as have issued an address disclaiming malice in urging the people to vehement the people not to consider laiters. Through the address they saw the onrush of their impending is a southern city. That is the one for nearly a century, ever since Missouri compromise, Missouri was prolific in the men and men between the North and South, but in almost an unobservable degree holding stock who, one by one, St. Louis is now modern. It has led by the river front, and spread out end. Its veins are now tingling with blood of Europe. These people are the supremacy in industrial and out about proscribing the Negro. In Louis the people have no segregated sections own the houses they live desirable condition for occupancy,ers of much of the residential property abandoned it; the white man after many years of disuse, by the self, this property was handed over to be profitable, because the Negroing capacity of the property was fourth. Now, if the United We appeal to real estate men and owement not to sell or rent any of settle the puzzling problem of the anywhere in the city which he has. The Negro has not invaded the involves force. He was lead into owned the property, because they the Negro wanted the white man. It was perfectly mutual. ABGREGATIONISTS BEGGING THE QUESTION Regregationists known as the United Welfare Association, have an address disclaiming any ulterior motive engaging the people to vote on segregation. The people not to consider them as second-class, though the address there runs a wail of despair, rush of their impending doom. They claim that in city. That is the question. It has been a century, ever since the existence of Missouri unpromise, Missouri was the debatable group in the men and measures affecting the different North and South, but St. Louis is not South in unobservable degree, in the scions of the black who, one by one, have passed on to the now modern. It has left its dingy, narrow front, and spread out on the broad fields in areas are now tingling with the most fecund people. These people are more concerned about living in industrial and commercial lines than inhabiting the Negro. In North St. Louis and people have no segregation question.

Independent Life Building SEGREGATIONISTS BEGGING THE QUESTION The segregationists known as the United Welfare Association have issued an address disclaiming any ulterior motive or racial malice in urging the people to vote on segregation. They are now begging the people not to consider them as scoundrels and Negro latters. Through the address there runs a wail of despair as if they saw the onrush of their impending doom. They claim that St. Louis is a southern city. That is the question. It has been the question for nearly a century, ever since the existence of Missouri and the Missouri compromise, Missouri was the debatable ground and has been prolific in the men and measures affecting the differences between the North and South, but St. Louis is not Southern, except in almost an unobservable degree, in the scions of the old slave-molding stock who, one by one, have passed on to their reward. St. Louis is now modern. It has left its dingy, narrow streets down by the river front, and spread out on the broad fields of our west end. Its veins are now tingling with the most fecund and vigorous blood of Europe. These people are more concerned about obtaining the supremacy in industrial and commercial lines than in bothering about proscribing the Negro. In North St. Louis and South St. Louis the people have no segregation question. The citizens of these sections own the houses they live in and keep them in the most desirable condition for occupancy. The former occupants and owners of much of the residential property in the central west of the city abandoned it; the white man would not buy or rent it, and after many years of disuse, by the request of the white owner himself, this property was handed over to the Negro, and has proved to be profitable, because the Negro paid higher rent, and the earning capacity of the property was increased at least one-fifth or one-fourth. Now, if the United Welfare Association will direct its appeal to real estate men and owners, and bind them to an agreement not to sell or rent any of this property to Negroes, it will settle the puzzling problem of the Negro's right to occupy property anywhere in the city which he has obtained by purchase or contract. The Negro has not invaded the residential districts. Invasion involves force. He was lead into these districts by white men who owned the property, because they wanted the Negro's money, and the Negro wanted the white man's home. It was perfectly mutual.

The Post-Dispatch has proved itself the one big newspaper, in the eyes of St. Louisans. Its fairness and outspoken championship of justice has particularly endeared it to the Negro in the fight against segregation. Unlike its contemporaries, who have published articles supporting this nefarious measure, it has been broad and biased, defending the right and exposing the wrong. It is verifying the platform of its great founder, which says in part: "never lack sympathy with the poor, always remain devoted to the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printing news, always be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty." For these principles the Negro will ever remember and appreciate the Post-Dispatch.

SOCIETY Valentine Night was appropriately observed in masque at the Pythian Auditorium Monday-night. The entertainment was under the auspices of the Orpheus Academy. It was noticeable that more of the guests were masked than has been the rule at affairs of this kind in late years. This seemed to produce a harmonious social effect and an evening of rare enjoyment was the result. The honors, however, go to the ladies, as at least four-fifths were masked, while only a fourth as many men were properly garbed. It is hoped that all will answer to the call hereafter and therefore contribute to, rather than detract from, the pleasure of the event.

Fisher, an influential politician of the Old Line Republican Party, died at his home in New Orleans, La., at the age of 60. For a number of years he ranked highly in political and fraternal circles. At one time he held a position as inspector of customs and later was weigher in the United States mint. He is survived by five sons and a daughter. Mr. R. C. Fisher, who is employed by the C. K. Robinson Printing Co. of this city, is a son of the deceased. In affectionate memory of our dear mother, Luevina Beal, who died February 18, 1906. Time rolls on, it will not stay; How we felt since that sad day, With one so loving, kind and true; How hard it was to part from you. Peaceful be your sleep, dear mother; Tis sweet to breathe your name, In life we loved you dearly; In death we do the same. Sadly missed by daughters, Sallie J Douglass and May C. Price.

AN OLD MASON GONE IN MEMORIAM In the graveyard, softly sleeping; Where the flowers gently wave, Lies the one we loved so dearly; In her lonely, silent grave. OLD FOLKS' HOME CHARITY CARNIVAL A Grand Charity Carnival, for the benefit of the Old Folks' Home will be given at the Pythian Temple Auditorium, Pine and Compton, Monday evening, February 28. A general call has been sent out from the home for assistance and investigation has disclosed desperate conditions. It is hoped that the citizens will rally to the support by attending the carnival on masse, Jas. W. Grant, "The Old Campaigner" has agreed to manage the affair. A series of prizes from $5 to $25 in gold will be given. The admission will be 35 cents and the carnival should prove the biggest social event on the 1916 charity calendar. The Buy Scouts, Troupe 14, visited the Old Folks' Home, under the direction of Professor Giles, Saturday, Feb. 12, with provisions. The boys who made the trip were Alphran, Dupree, Shelton and Dixon. Others, who could not go, sent supplies. Prof. and Mrs. W. A. Giles, 4291 Lucky, are the proud recipients of a nine and one-half-pound baby boy. CHARITY DANCE The Ladies of St. Rose, of Lima Branch, 1035 C. K. of A., will give a charity whist and dance on Monday evening, February 21, at Miss Mack's Studio, 3457 Lawton Ave., for the benefit of St. Rita's Academy, conducted by the Oblate Sisters, of Providence. Miss Mack will teach a new dance, free of charge, to all who attend. Refreshments and prizes. Admission 15 cents. M. Rosa Bradford, general manager. Theodosia Hall, assistant manager. UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS NEWS Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is composed of girls attending the University of Illinois; Miss Edith Stevens, Pres.; Frankie Woods, secretary; Mary Gaines, corresponding secretary; Anna Jackson, treasurer; Misses Miriam Curtis, Peteia Stevens, Helen Stevens, Alice Phillips, Dawn Casey, Iverene McAllister, members. Feb. 2 marked the close of the first semester's work; February 8, the beginning of the second semester. The custom is to initiate new members the first week; and to become a member one must make a grade of 80 per cent for at least twelve hours' work per week. Miss Gladia Scott, of Xenia O., and Miss Alice Lee, of Champaign, were new members admitted. The Sorority girls had been planning the initiation dance for many weeks, as it was to be quite an event to take place at the hall in the women's building, one of the university halls opened for the first time for a dance for colored students. The patrons and patronesses formed a line promptly at eight o'clock, consisting of Dr. and Mrs. Rowan, Mrs. and Mrs. Hiram Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lee, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Ellis, Mrs. Margaret McCroskey and Mrs. Nellie Agee. The young ladies, with their escorts, tripped into the hall, while strains of the most melodious music filled the place. After three hours of perfect enjoyment, everyone departed for the Sorority house, where the double parlers were beautifully decorated, and tables for four persons filled the room. Electric lights were turned off, and the subdued lights from the shaded candles on the table, the soft strains from the Victoria, the swinging lines of red hearts, the happy faces of maids and youths gave the scene an oriental effect. The whole affair was one that will be long remembered. Memorial to George Elliot. There is soon to be opened at Nuneaton, hyr birthplace, a memorial to George Eliot, says the London Chronicle. The memorial, which is the gift of a private individual, has taken the form of a museum and art gallery, the spot chosen for it being a very appropriate one in the midst of scenes made famous in the novelist's book, "Scenes From Clerical Life." To the left of the building is Milby church of "Janet's Repentance," and but a short step away stands the old house in Orchard street where lived the lawyer Dempster and his wife. Two minutes' walk in the opposite direction brings one to the school where the writer received her first initiation into the wonders and the beauties of our language. This is the first public memorial to be erected to the novelist's memory the other one in existence being that erected at Arbury, where George Eliot was born The Answer. The Artist—Do you know the difference between working and playing? The Musician—Yes; the man who gets music out of a violin is playing; the fellow that gets noise out of a drum is working. His Reason. "There's old Dunn. I don't care to meet him. Let's turn this way. Last fall I requested a loan of $20." "Well, he ought to have obliged you; he's rich enough."

Many. years ago the bishop of the central diocese of New York said to & class of young men about to en- beet |Get Nash tikka & class of young Le 22 oni ter the ministry: “The truth is, half of God's word 1 Jaw. The Gospel without a promise o ‘Tetribution is emasculated. It 1s no! only a thedlogical mistake, it is not s Gospel." ‘The’ text proclaims that there ia wrath with God, and there are ‘Scores of Scripture passages speaking ‘of the wrath of God and many of them are in the New Testament. - What Is the Wrath of God? When the sncients saw, the moun. tains that are now the witnesses of the wrath of man against man rocking and reeling, they said the gods were mad. But. we cannot so think of the ‘wrath of God. That wrath is real in- dignation against its object, and this indignation carries with it the idea ‘the-object-of-the wrath: will” be the subject of God's opposition. The ‘wrath of God is always based on jus tice and reason that take into account the rights and prerogatives of men as moral agents. Yet, God's own char- acter for holiness and. justice will be vindicated whatever may be the {mpa- 'tlence of man with such a’ statement. .“Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap"—no limitation or modi- " feation. 4 ‘The Wrath of God Against All Sinful Men, = We know-God hites iniquity and-all evil deeds, but it is @.more serious matter for us to note that the prepon- derance of scripture testimony is that the wrath of God is against sin- ful men, and logically so. Sin is an abstract thing, and cannot be in itself thé subject of the execution of jus- tice, byt the sinner can be. .Jesus told Nicodemus that the wrath of God abode on sinning man. Paul told the “Ephesiaa ‘and Colossian Christians that the wrath of God would come on the children of disobedience. ‘He told the Thessalonians that the day is com- ing when Jesus Christ will be revealed from heaven taking vengeance on them that know not God, and obey not the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Wrath Provoked,: Siow in Develop- ment, and Fearful in Visitation. ‘There are three things concerning the wrath of God that should be care- fully noted: First! The wrath of God an be provoked or called out. The Inraelites provoked the wrath.of God repeatedly and plagues broke out on them. In the second Psalm men were urged to kiss the son lest he be an- gry and they perish from the way when his wrath was kindled-but a Hittte: The “wrath “of God will never be manifested without the positive act of man calling it out, or provoking it, and one of. the ‘strongest evidences of the love of God is that his love has been frequently provoked and was ‘most: mercifully restrained. Second- ly: The wrath of God is slow in its development. “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plen- yteoha in mercy.” One of the minor Prophets teachea almost exactly the same thing, saying: “Turn unto the Lord your. God, for-he 1s gracious and ‘merciful, slow to anger and of great kindness” Thirdly: The wrath of God is fearful in its visitation. .The time comes when kindness, merciful ‘indulgence end. longsuffering, are at an end, and the most terrible jndg- ments fall. This was illustrated in the destruction of the race by the flood, by the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah, by. the plagaes on Egypt. by the wholesale destruction of many of the enemies of Israel. : Not less, fearful, indeed rather more 10, will- be the awful visitation of God's wrath ‘tp. the future as indicated in 2 Thes- salonians 1:7.. 5 "Thank God there is a refuge, for as teaches by. the Holy Spirit, at now justified, by the, blood Christ, we shall be saved from through him. It ever tm the history of the, world attention of man ought to be to the wrath of God, ‘it is now the wrath of man against man—- 80 glorified by himself as to be ‘&' god—is manifested with = ee and hellish hate a4 never ‘the awful experiences in the war.

CAtSE Trash Re ee, GOLD! ‘TEXT—Love one another from the ener Pet. 1:22 nv. . The had tried threaten- amg upon the disciples and this is gen- erally pretty weak business. But tneir threat meant danger and the dis- ciples were not unduly ‘puffed: up over their deliverance. With all their be- Meving friends they prayed and in. re- sponse the Holy Spirit came upon them in still fyrther - measure (4:2381), 1. The Spirit-Fliled Wellevsrs, 4:32- 37. The two sections of tis, lesson are really one and are dgsigned to bring out sharply the contrast. be- tween the Holy: Spirit-filled church and an evil spirit-filled man.’ The communism of the early church was (s)' Christian communion (see 2:44); and {t was (b) for @ special occasion; (e) ‘it was benevolent—each had ac cording to nis “needs” (4:34, 35); (4) it was voluntary (5:4), and (@) it rec- ognized the right to private property (nee 6:4, 9). He, the Holy Spirit, does bring that unity, that altruism, those active social relations and. services of which Pentecosta! communism is the type. Unity and love are seen in gen- uine Christianity in all ages, but the forms of their expression may differ. ‘The power of the Holy Spirit was manifested, stot merely in love and unity which it produced, in the broth- erhood thus evidenced, but also in the testimony given for the Lord Jesus Christ, “with great. power gave the “witness tothe “resurrection of the Lord Jesus.” There is much witness to the resurrection of the “Lord Jesua Christ in our day, but not “always “"with great power.” When we are filled with the Holy Spirit it is of Jesus, and especially of his resur- Tection; that we wifl bear witness, Another res ing filled with the ee garnet eee all. “Grace” means favor. We are not. told whether it was. God’s favor or man's favor that was upon them. It seems to imply hoth (see Luke 2:52), No man looked upon- his own interests, but “every man on the things of others.” Distribution was made according as each had need, not according to his ability, not according to his notable service. The pre-emi- snent illustration of Chfistian love in the brotherhood at Jerusalem was Barnabas. If we had more of such today we would have less of union jabor troubles and missionary deficits. We do well to consider carefully the six distinguishing features of this early church: (1) A praying church (4:2430), (2) a Spfrit-filled church (31), (3) @ united church (32), (4) a ‘witnessing church (33), (5) a. minis: tering churcn (34, 35}, (6) a multiply- img church (36, 37). I. The Devil-Possessed Unibeliever, 8, 1-16” Barnabas had received great praise for what he had done at the {m- pulse of the Holy Spirit in his life. It 18 an exceedingly fair picture, but the scene of the early church had been from foes without, now it faces the greater peril of foes within. And when this great question, regarding the de- ity and personality of the Holy Spirit, ts first brought to light, God, through his church, dealt. with it in a stern So earn, ing bis imtt verything good and holy Ananiss and Sapphira were not willing to make a like sacrifice, They, too, “sold a possession,” but they secreted @ part of the price and brought the rest with the intent to de- ceive the church. The Holy Spirit quickly informed the church of this hypocrisy and, Spirit-guided, they were not deceived For Ananias to Ue in the atmosphere of love, and con- secration engendered by the Holy Spirit made his crime the more unpar- donable. The same words are used in deaczibing his actions as those used tm Waeribing the actions of Barnabas up to a certain point. But what a dif- ference we see. subsequently. In the case of Barnabas his act was a, deed of self-forgetting love; in the case of Ananias it was one of calculating hy- pocrisy. We thus see that the early church was not as perfect m8 would have us imagine it to be. _ The second section, of this para- graph. (vv. 12-16) ts a record of what, the results of this vindication of the Holy Spirit were. . First the Spirit came upon the apostles and literally overflowed upon all those bout them. In the second place those who were thinking of joining the church for mer- cenary motives were held back from so doing (v. 13). If the Holy Spirit were present in such power today there would be fewer hypocrites who would dare to join themselves to it. - ‘ ‘The deception of Ananias was delib- erate (v. 4); he Kad talked it over «THE 8T.

You are not only assisting to build up a Negro Enterprise and help provide future employment for Negro young men and women, but you assure yourself careful and honest attention by one who is interested in you and wishes to see you well treated and always satisfied. And better yet, you get the advantage of high quality and low prices. When I sell you a piano I expect to make a booster of A. E. you, naturally I am as interested as you in your purchase. I have the goods, real high class goods. My prices and inducements are so tempting you can not fail to take advantage of them. Think of this: We have about forty pianos in our headquarters that I am going to sell at $100 less than their real value. These I will sacrifice in order to make room for a new line and new make we are about to receive. The lot consists of such makes as Steinway, Chickering, Cable and Nelson, and Jessie French. Now is the time to add a permanent cheer to your home at small cost. May I assist you! Call at my store or phone Bomont 1792 W. and I will call on you. CHAS. H.

LOUIS ARGUS Anti-Segregation Notes A large and an enthusiastic audience greeted Dr. J. W. E. Bowen at Union Memorial Church last Monday night. In a forceful, logical manner Dr. Bowen urged his hearers to not stand idly by and allow their right as American citizens to be taken from them. "Do not loose your heads in this fight, but make manly appeals to the people. All people of all nations come to America for fair play, and they have a sense of justice. "Men keep cool heads in this hour of excitement." In his introductory remarks Prof. Frank L. Williams, who introduced the speaker, seeing the apparent excited condition of the large audience, advised his hearers to keep cool heads. "Use your brain in an hour like this," said the speaker. Dr. B. G. Shaw, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, presided at the meeting.

Peek read a splendid paper at the Branch meeting on Tuesday night. Other speakers were Mr. Geo. B. Vashon, Atty. Albert Burgress and Atty. Homer G. Phillips. Rev.

Mrs. Wilson, as Mrs. Gait, was in the habit of going down to Central market two or three times a week and doing her own marketing. After the announcement of her engagement she gave that up, as she found the amount of attention attracted embarrassing. She will find that the housekeeper in her new home has the marketing habit, and will see to it personally that her mistress has just exactly what she wants. The present housekeeper, Mrs. Jeffray, was installed by Mrs. Taft, who, at the beginning of her regime, took her housekeeper to the great market and personally introduced and instructed her. For Mrs. Taft, too, had the marketing habit, and if while at the White House she found it expedient to do it by proxy, she saw to it from the start that it was done according to her own ideas. Gertie (who has just been kissed by Arthur under the mistletoe, which he discovered hanging in the hall)—Oh, Arthur, you wicked wretch, to take advantage of me like that! I wish I knew who hung it there; I'd pay them out, that's all. Arthur (to little brother later in the evening)—Tommy; I'm going to take Gertie away from you soon; will you mind? Tommy—Not a bit. Sis and I are not friends. Arthur—And why is that? Tommy (heedless of Gertie's killing glances)—Oh, she boxed my ears for tipping her off the chair when she was nailing up that mistletoe in the hall. His Official Capacity. William Collier and a couple of other actors were dining in a hotel cafe when Collier directed his companion's attention to a very dapper-looking man with a suspiciously red nose who had just passed. "A very prominent member of the Larchmont Yacht club," announced Collier, with a grave air. "Is that so?" asked one of the playwrights, who, as Collier knows, always owes a strong interest in the dolga drama. "What is his profession?" I think, and Collier—The Argentine. PROF. W. L.

Lady Attendant Ward Mediums Download. NOTE.—Those calling for pastimes, curious and frivolous persons are only wearing time calling on Prof. Gladstone. Strangely fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated lips of this most interesting man whose journey of life has been a journey of discovery, the nowned psychic schools of Egypt, India and Europe. It seems, indeed, as if his knowledge must come from that mysterious world of which we all would know, yet longing, cannot know.
