St. Louis Argus

ST.LOUIS ADOPTS SEGREGATION Carries Both Ordinances By Overwhelming Majority. Negroes Badly Disappointed By Republicans. Carry Only Three Wards. Leaders Lose precincts. Argus Advises Race To Take Fresh Courage. Fight Only Begun, Law Will Be Tested In Courts. Race Unity At Last. Organization Sure. St. Louis voted overwhelmingly in favor of both segregation ordinances last Tuesday. Of the 79,997 votes cast on No. 1, 53,220 were for and 17,887 against, a majority of 34,343. No. 2 for 53,064; against, 17,808, a majority of 34,256. The total indicates that about 88,000 whites voted and less than 10,000 voted against the measures. The law will be operative in ten days from the election. It will have no effect upon present residential conditions. It does not compel anyone to move, but will govern future changes. No colored or whites resident can move into a block occupied by 75 percent of the opposite race. The law also places the same restrictions on schools, churches, halls and all places of assembly. A sigh of relief was witnessed on the faces of the Colored people of this city Wednesday morning, after nearly four months of strenuous work. Early in November, last, the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People opened headquarters at Pythian Hall, 3137 Pine St. This association had direct charge of the fight against the ordinances. Miss Kathryn M. Johnson, National Field Agent for the association, was here and rendered valuable assistance in the fight. The Colored voters, as a whole, voted against the measure. Not a single exception has positively been sighted. Some White Friends It is proper to say that the Colored people had some white friends who were true in every sense of the word and who helped in the fight as a matter of principle, and who are willing to go still further to see that right and justice is accorded to all. Badly Disappointed The Colored people were badly disappointed with the results of the election, saying, we were deceived by those who professed to be our friends and stood for justice and equality before the law. The Republican party was severely criticized as hypocritical in their promises, and accused of "laying down" at the polls. Constitutionality The constitutionality of the segregation law has never been before the courts of this city or state. The attorneys for the National Ass'n for the Advancement of Colored People will take the case into the courts as early as possible. It is the general opinion that the law is unconstitutional and will not stand the test in either the state or the United States courts. The Man That's Down Now that the white people of this city have had an opportunity, by their vote, to "stab" the black man in the back and to "strike" the man that is down, it is still hoped that there is enough humanity left in him to permit him to see his error. Organization The Colored people of this city will organize their forces and their finances to oppose the oncoming insults that follow such laws everywhere they have been enacted. Result by Sections Dividing the city into sections, the returns show that each returned a heavy majority in favor of the ordinances. In the central district the fifth, sixth and sixteenth voted a majority of 1,183 against, but the 14th, 15th, 19th and 20th gave a majority of 3,051 for; winning by 1,866. In this district the 19th ward was carried by the yes vote by only 13. The South St. Louis district, composed of the 7,78, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15th, went by 12,072 majority. In Mayor Kiel's ward, the 15th, the yes majority was 1,355. In Kiel's own precinct the vote was 101 to 21 for segregation. John Schmoll, chairman of the Republican City Committee lost his ward, the 13th, by a majority of 3,235. Schmoll's precinct went 10 to 1, 193 to 19 for segregation. The west end wards, comprising the 23, 26, 27, 28th, gave a majority of 8,247 for. The 27th ward alone voted 4,133 to 504. In the 23rd ward, the 8th, 9th and 10th precincts went 167 for and 504 against. The entire ward returned a majority of 701 for the measure. In the north and northwest wards, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 18th, 21st, 24th and 25th, the majority for was 10,765. The 22nd in which the Ellerdaville district is located, voted 2,339 yes to 934 no. The 15th is a democratic ward, composed of Jews, Negroes and foreigners. State Senator, Mike Kinney, is the democratic committeeman. He delivered his ward against segregation, 516 yes to 884 no. The vote in the 17th ward was 986 for and 1,678 against, a majority against of 692. The above figures apply to the ordinance No. 1 only. Unity Among Negroes The anti-segregation campaign demonstrated one fact that cannot pass unnoticed: The unity among the Negroes in fighting the enemy. There was no shirking of duty; everyone was keyed up to the highest point of enthusiasm and action. Of course, there were some whose efforts were more conspicuous than others, but to mention names may be an injustice. The men and women who worked day and night, silently but effectually; the automobile owners who loaned their cars and their service for distribution of literature; the churches and the Booker Washington Theatre that displayed huge streamers, and the lawyers who rendered such valuable legal service; all without monetary compensation, but all for the common good, will be well remembered and justly rewarded. T. J. NEVINS DENIES RUMOR Recent rumor would have it that I am in favor of segregation. I want it understood, and especially by the party or parties responsible for such talk, that I brand all such as malicious lies, without foundation or fact. On the other hand, I can produce prospective voters (white) who have occasion to call at my place of business, that have promised me to vote against segregation. Signed, Thomas J. Nevins, 2524 N. Newstead Ave., City. REPORT ON SEGREGATION By Chas. K. Cohn During the recent campaign against segregation Chas. K. Cohn delivered ten addresses among the lodges and churches of the Hebrews. Called and financed two meetings. Received donations as follows: E. A. McKinney, $2.00. E. White, 50 cents, Dr. T. A. Curtis 50 cents, Rev. B. F. Abbott, $1.00. J. L. Davis, $1.00, Dr. Geo. H.

McElroy, who has charge of the Odd Fellows Juvenile Band, arrangements have been made to give a series of band concerts at Pythian Hall beginning Sunday afternoon, March 12. These concerts have been very helpful to the boys in the past, as well as a benefit to the general public. The boys are very anxious to please their friends in these concerts. The people of this city well know the public spiritiness of Major McElroy, how he has labored with the boys of this band that they might have a musical training. He was a member of the campaign committee of the Y. M. C. A. during the recent rally to raise $50,000 for the new building, and was a liberal contributor to the cause. He stated that the band has done much charity work and therefore was entitled to a large patronage. Watch the Argus for big announcement. NATIONAL CONFERENCE For Workers in Young Women's Christian Associations in Cities Beginning March 12 The National Board of Young Women's Christian Associations in the United States has planned a conference for the employed and volunteer workers in the city associations. This conference is to be held March 8-12, at Wheatley Branch, Y. W. C. A. Much thought and care have been given to make the program strong, both from a technical and inspirational standpoint. Three sessions will be held daily, beginning at 10 a.m. Strong leaders have been secured, and each hour will be helpful. The lecture to be given on Thursday by Dr. Anna L. Brown, a noted specialist, will be of special value to mothers, teachers and workers with girls. The lecture on "The Christian Task," by the Rev. H. L. Herod, of Indianapolis, Ind., each day, bring a definite message to all. Other leaders will be Miss Josephine V. Pinyon, of the National Board; Miss McFarland, of the South Central Field Committee; Miss Colt, Miss Beicher and Preek of the local work., and Mr. David L. Jones of Y. M. C. A. A mass meeting of men and women will close the conference on Sunday, March 12, at 4:30, at which time Rev. Herod will give the inspirational address.

ANTI-SEGREGATION HEADQUARTERS CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE OF THE ST. LOUIS BRANCH OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE GROUP OF WORKERS IN THE ANTI-SEGREGATION FIGHT ARGUS PRAISED Receives. $25 From the Editors of Tacoma, Washington, Forum Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 25, 1916. Argus Pub. Co., St. Louis, Mo. Gentlemen:— I have just wired you twenty-five dollars to help you in the anti-segregation fight. I am a former St. Louisan and was known as "Booty" Alexander. I have kept up with this fight through the columns of the Argus and I wish to congratulate you for your intrepidity. I truly hope the Negroes of St. Louis will appreciate your efforts. I am anxiously waiting the outcome of the election February 29. With best wishes for your future success, I am, for my race, Ella Ryan, 2404 North Mason Boulevard. Note.—Mrs. Ryan is editor and publisher of a newspaper in Tacoma. She doubtless has made "good." She has a brother in St. Louis, Mr. Clifford Alexander, who lives on Belleglade Ave. We thank Mrs. Ryan for the kind thought. She should be able to see the editor of The Argus smile. "BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER" This is an old, but true saying. It matters not about principle, honesty or merit; all that is looked for is the color. One's politics or religion counts nothing against color. And a colored man may be honest, intelligent and capable for a position against a white man who may be dishonest, ignorant and unworthy, yet he will be supported because he is white, regardless of his faults. When the white man aspires he seeks and gets the colored man support; when the colored man aspires, his white brother defeats him on account of his color. All nations combine against him. His honesty and morit count nothing; his color is against him. His only hope is in God, who has no respect to person. When I was a small boy I learned I was colored, although my father and master were the same man, yet I never thought I was white, and do not wish now to invade my father's house to mingle with my half-brothers and sisters, but would rather dwell with my mother's children. God only can mete out justice to all, and will do so in his own time. Let us wait and trust Him. Rev. J. L. Cohron said God alone was the Negro's hope. I believe it. J. M. M. STOKES. UNION LABOR BLOCKS Union labor administered another knockout to Negro employment Wednesday when it caused the discharge of fifty waiters who had entered upon their dutes at the new Missouri Athletic Club. The boys had passed the rigid physical and sanitary examination and had gone to work. Doctor Bassett, the examiner, had said that he had not seen a cleaner set of men in his life. The waiters were cordially received by all from Manager Magill down, and everything appeared O.K. until a hitch came in the middle of the afternoon. There have been several reasons given, but the real cause lies in union labor trickery. The club had been dickering with the white union, which demanded no Sunday work, and no work after 7 p.m. without extra pay. The directors decided to employ Negroes, and the word went out, through George Lapsley, to get ready. About three o'clock in the afternoon, Wednesday, after the colored boys had been employed and had prepared the dining room for the big banquet, three men were seen to enter the place. They proved to be union representatives. Whether the union or the club conceded the demands is not known, but the colored boys were informed that their services were not desired, and they were offered $5 each for their trouble. Many accepted the offer, but a dozen or more are holding out for a month's pay of $50, as promised, and have retained Attorney George L. Vaughn, to push their claim. It has been given out, by daily papers, that a Mr. Kerney was most compulsive in objecting to colored waiters, but it is known that Mr. Kerney, who is president of the Wabash Railroad, has only colored servants on his private car. CENTRAL BAPTIST SUNDAY Dr. Stevens, on next Sunday morning, will speak upon the following subject: "When Defeat is a Victory." At night he will speak on "An Awful Moment." Mr. W. M.

They show that disease, sickness and insanity are within the sex, and that sex-fust was the origination of the disease, arresting the attention of the medical, scientific, philosophical and theological worlds and people of all classes as no other would probably do more to shape the thoughts of the human race than any books ever written in the history of the world. All books are 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. He has an interpretation of the Bible, as therein contained, is so daring and his conclusions are so unanswerable that the human intellect cannot understand them. Ideas, it is the world's greatest book. Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible and his sex interpretation of the Bible will never be republished may perish and Empires may decay, but the ideas presented by the author in these books on the Bible will never die." Mr. Tapp's works on the Bible will do more to empty our jails, insane institutions and hospitals than any other idea that has ever been given to the world.

Incident of the Civil War Shows How Hard It Is to Separate Government Pack Animal From Uncle Sam's Rentals. Z. P. Hotchkiss, adjutant of Phil Sheridan post G. A. R. of Oak Park. Ill., tells the following experience with a government mule. As an army telegrapher Mr. Hotchkiss was attached to the staff of General Canby in the final Mobile campaign. "The entire outfit for the construction of the army telegraph lines," says Mr. Hotchkiss, "was carried on the backs of forty pack mules. A coil of half a mile of wire hung upon each side of the saddle. "There were six young operators, one from each corps, mounted on horses. To these boys had been intrusted the government cipher and knowledge of the advance movement of the troops. These secrets were safe, as none of the young fellows ever betrayed a trust. "For the Mobile campaign the mules were drilled in the streets of New Orleans to follow the lead of the muleteer or the horse of the chief operator. "One day, while following in the rear of the army up the peninsula from Dauphine island, the entire train was trailing along in the rear of the chief operator, who knew nothing about ocean tides. The reel mule, Old Tobe, from whose back was uncoiled the wire, was in advance and followed his leader into an arm of the Gulf of Mexico. The operator's horse was soon beyond his depth and was swimming for shoal water when it was seen that 'Old Tobe' had sunk beneath his heavy load. The muleteer swam his horse to where the reel mule had gone down, and after diving twice, came up gasping for breath "The fool critter is walking toward the Spanish fort, he said, 'but I'll get him this time, sure.' He dove again, and with his clasp knife cut the bellyband of the submerged mule and rid the animal of his load. Old Tobe floated to the surface, shook the water from his ears, was towed ashore, pumped out, and a few hours later was again making the march for Fish river. Save for dragging a little, he showed little sign of his experience; but he had been under water long enough to have killed anything but a government mule." Some 200 army operators, who, though many of their number were killed or taken prisoners of war, are ineligible to a government pension, are the recipients of private pensions in their old age from their comrade, Andrew Carnegie. Heredity and Eugenics. Only a misguided enthusiasm, says the Journal of the American Medical Association would venture to make great claims at the present time for the possible future usefulness of applied eugenics. The doctrines of heredity on which the new postulates are based must first be subjected to critical investigation. The limitations of the practical aspects of eugenics must be clearly formulated and emphasized. It is well enough to maintain in a general way that vitality is partly inherited and partly acquired, and that "a sound physical and mental inheritance is a greater asset than the inheritance of extraneous advantages like wealth." Many individuals, however, have assumed that the new science is primarily intended to foster a scheme of general governmental interference with marriage. As a matter of fact, the most earnest students of the subject have at best hoped to promote the gradual establishment of standards in public opinion. LOVER PAID FOR HIS WIFE Indian Chief Called Her His Daughter. But Sweetheart Found She Was a White Girl. There lives in a small city in one of the western states a happy old couple who passed through many thrilling experiences during those times when the West was in the making. The old man is fond of relating these experiences, and he often tells of how he found a wife among the Brule Sioux, who were at that time the most restless and troublesome of the plains Indians. At the close of the Civil war this man was about twenty-two years of age, and of an adventurous nature. He went to St. Louis, Mo., where he fell in with a party of traders bound up the Missouri river to barter for buffalo skins with the Indians. The venture was successful, and after a year spent in the wilderness the party started back, their flat boats loaded with the baled buffalo hides. One evening the party stopped for the night near an Indian encampment, and here the young man met what he considered to be the most beautiful Indian girl he had ever seen. She was apparently about twenty years of age, and although she was dark complexioned and had beautiful black hair and eyes she did not possess the features of an Indian. Anyway, the young man gave little thought to her nationality. It was a case of love at first sight, and although his companions resumed their journey the following morning, the young man remained to court the malden, who it appeared was the daughter of a chief. He won her hand, and, according to Indian custom, paid the chief the purchase price of the girl. The girl, according to the chief, was not Indian, but of white parentage. She had been adopted by the chief when she was a baby, her parents having been killed by the Indians on one of their raids against the frontier settlements. Subsequent investigations proved the truth of the chief's story, and eventually the girl was able to get in touch with many of her relatives in the East. The young man took the girl to St. Louis, where she was placed under the care of a relative to learn the white man's language and ways of living. A year later the marriage took place. After a few years spent in the East they returned to the prairies, where they took up land and where they have resided happily ever since. Many Women Use Cigarettes. Women puffing cigarettes in restaurants is so common in New York that it no longer attracts attention, but when they do their smoking in hotel lobbies mere man is sure to give them the once over. One afternoon recently an attractive young woman was engaged in an animated discussion with a man in the foyer of the Vanderbilt hotel. She gesticulated with graceful waves of the hand and tapped a neatly shod foot impatiently against the floor. He fumbled for a cigarette case extracted a cigarette and lighted it. Then, as if remembering his manners, he extended the cigarette case with an apology. The young woman smiled her thanks, took a cigarette, rolled it, deftly between her fingers and perched it between her lips. She motioned her companion to give her a light, which he did. Then she took a deep puff and returned to the subject matter in hand. Of course, everybody in the lobby tried to appear unconscious. They looked at the palms, admired the cut flowers on the desk and then went back to a discreet and velled contemplation of the absorbed couple, enmeshed in their own problems and cigarette smoke. Scarcity of Wire Rope in Russia. Scarcity of Wire Rope in Russia. It is reported by the American consul general at Moscow Russia, that the petroleum producers of the Baku district are experiencing considerable inconvenience from the scarcity of steelwire rope. Previous to the war wire rope and wire to be made into rope by Russian manufacturers were imported principally from England. At present, in consequence of the limited exports of steel goods from England, steelwire rope of British manufacture has almost disappeared from the local markets and its price has arisen from 300 to 400 per cent. At a conference held in Baku to discuss this subject, it was proposed temporarily to substitute for steelwire ropes, hemp ropes, which it may be possible to obtain from India. It was stated that Swedish wire rope had been found satisfactory for the local requirements of the petroleum industry.-Scientific American. "Diplomat's Work All Humbug." George Fred Williams, former minister to Greece, recently stated his opinion of diplomats in general, and said that they were the cause of the present European conflict. "I tried to be a diplomat," he said. "It is the most stupid business I know of. It was a matter of deciding on the right tie for a certain function and determining what kind of trousers to wear when we met the king and how to behave at dinner. It was a continual swapping of humbug with associates, and never, in any circumstances, lapsing into truth. It's the meanest, rottenest occupation a man ever got into." It Was Time He Learned It "I waited three solid hours for that palm reader to get around to me." "Well?" "He told me I didn't get on in life because of my tendency to fool away time." J. E.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION New York office, Frost & Frost; 23, East 26th Street; Chicago office, Frost & Frost; Boyce Building; Frost & Frost; Chandler Building; Nashville office, Frost & Frost; Independent Life Building A SHOCKING DISAPPOINTMENT tion Tuesday in its results was a shocking one: cast a deep gloom over the Negro; it lessens American's love of fair play; it causes the Nicaraguan declaration of inalienable rights in our Constitutional generality; it causes him to regard the exequal protection of the law" as "a sounding ambul, and the many laws granting citizen documental lies. Con is barbarous enough as despotic as Russian anger every right guaranteed to the Negro. Achievement, the right to the public use of the right to testimony and to plead in the courts to buy, sell or dispose of property without follow in the footsteps of segregation. They negation is a breeder of proscription; in the linternationalization of the Negro. Against it all the time; denounce it, expose it every sentiment of honor and manly fraternity protest against it. The election Tuesday in its results was a shocking disappointment. It has cast a deep gloom over the Negro; it lessens his faith in the white American's love of fair play; it causes the Negro to look upon the declaration of inalienable rights in our Constitution as a "glittering generality;" it causes him to regard the constitutional guaranty of "equal protection of the law" as "a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal," and the many laws granting citizenship to the Negro as monumental lies. Segregation is barbarous enough as despotic as Russia, but its sequences endanger every right guaranteed to the Negro. Jim Crowism, disenfranchisement, the right to the public use of the streets, the unrestricted right to testimony and to plead in the courts; the rights of ownership, to buy, sell or dispose of property without restraint; all and more follow in the footsteps of segregation. They can plainly see that segregation is a breeder of proscription; in the line it runs, it means the denationalization of the Negro. Cry out against it all the time; denounce it, expose it, organize against it; for every sentiment of honor and manly fraternity utters an indignant protest against it. A BLOW THAT WILL REBOUND on carried three to one in St. Louis last Tuesday, the face, delivered, in part, by many of our St. Louis seceded from the great constellation and anti-segregation cities. St. Louis, then, and the metropolis of the Mississippi Valley, excessive march of the backward cities, like Louis Richmond. How, under such conditions, can her place as the fourth city of the great nation segregate, nor does Los Angeles, nor Pittsburg, Louis has put the stigma on herself as a segregated down to the level of a backward city, or takes no progress for a hundred years. Men of not invest in cities where caste predominates, do his best to defeat segregation; he cast a friends failed to come and aid him as was prone of those who failed to do their duty will be high their names. In the fight has just begun. We shall fight it last resort, and then, if we fail there, we shall second sober thought of the American people. Constitution of the United States is made supreme command that "No state shall make or enforce bridge the privileges and immunities of cities." This must be done, or our national Constitution a lie. "Get together." Let that be a cry or Get your dollars together; get your votes together; get your business together and in the battle for your civil, civic, business, rights. Largest and most effective organization devoted right and denunciation of the defense of the Negro is concerned, is the "National Association of the Colored People." It is composed of places. Let us join it, make it a national power, the Republic will know that millions of people do little without unity. It is in unity our segregation struck the Negro a blow, a great force says, "You need always estimate the force." It will be the rebound when it returns how they endanger their own liberties when rights of the Negro, or the rights of any other citizenship. Segregation carried three to one in St. Louis last Tuesday. It was a slap in the face, delivered, in part, by many of our so-called dear friends. St. Louis seceded from the great constellation of the anti-Jim Crow and anti-segregation cities. St. Louis, the gem of the Middle West and the metropolis of the Mississippi Valley, fell in line in the retrogressive march of the backward cities, like Louisville, Baltimore and Richmond. How, under such conditions, can she expect to maintain her place as the fourth city of the great nation? Cleveland does not segregate, nor does Los Angeles, nor Pittsburgh. Now St. Louis has put the stigma on herself as a segregation city, which brings her down to the level of a backward city, or a Russian city, which makes no progress for a hundred years. Men of enterprise and means do not invest in cities where caste predominates. The Negro did his best to defeat segregation; he cast a large vote, but his white friends failed to come and aid him as was promised and expected. Some of those who failed to do their duty will have a black line run through their names. However, the fight has just begun. We shall fight segregation to the court of last resort, and then, if we fail there, we shall hammer on until the second sober thought of the American people shall react, and the Constitution of the United States is made supreme in carrying out its command that "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States." This must be done, or our national Constitution will be pronounced a lie. "Get together." Let that be a cry of the American Negro. Get your dollars together; get your votes together; get your energies together; get your business together and march as a solid phalanx in the battle for your civil, civic, business, educational and political rights. The strongest and most effective organization devoted to the defense of the right and denunciation of the defense of the wrong, so far as the Negro is concerned, is the "National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People." It is composed of good men from both races. Let us join it, make it a national power, so that when it speaks the Republic will know that millions of people are behind it. We can do little without unity. It is in unity our strength resides. This segregation struck the Negro a blow, a great force, but, as Doctor Johnson says, "You need always estimate the force of a blow by its rebound." It will be the rebound when it returns that will make men see how they endanger their own liberties when they strike down the rights of the Negro, or the rights of any other element of American citizenship.

The Post-Dispatch, the "One Big Newspaper," which every Negro today is proud of, has never faltered in the path of justice paved by the following words of its great founder: "I know that my retirement will make no difference in its cardinal principles, that it will always fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice or corruption, always fight demagogues of all parties, never belong to any party, always oppose privileged classes and public plunderers, 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. "April 10, 1907 JOSEPH PULITZER." The Post-Dispatch stands out alone untainted by the wave of inhuman prejudice that has dishonored the fair name of this great THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS metropolis. As a leader in the against injustice or corruption, the weak and struggling humanity devotion to the public welfare h true representative of the principal freedom, and a champion of just grow that its protection may alw and the downtrodden. metropolis. As a leader in the "fight for progress and reform" and against injustice or corruption, the Post-Dispatch is an inspiration to weak and struggling humanity. Its "sympathy with the poor" and devotion to the public welfare have oft been demonstrated. It is a true representative of the principles of American independence and freedom, and a champion of justice and right. May it ever live and grow that its protection may always be a harbor for the persecuted and the downtrodden.

Parker, has returned from Kansas, where he reports having done great work for the Lord. Many souls were won for Christ through his spiritual influence. Dame Bumor had it that he had gone away on a 'matrimonial venture, but he is still one rib short. Professor Thomas' dramatic recital Monday night was grand, especially those selections from Dunbar. The two-act playlet entitled "Won Over" was also good. The B. Y. P. U. had a good temperature program Sunday evening. Mrs. Elaine Sydnor could well be called "Carrie Nation the Second," if she had but had the hatchet. The Mission Circle's rally Tuesday was a decided success. More than $20 was raised. Brother Rucker won the five dollars offered to the one raising the largest sum over ten dollars. Brother C. Griffin, a member of our church, who has been sick for some time, has greatly improved and we hope to see him out again soon. He is president of our trustee board.

Dr. Brown, who is pastor of Campbell A. M. E. Church, at Alton, was loud in his praise of the people and their work at the home of Lovejoy. "Yes," said Dr. Brown in answer to an inquiry, "we are doing well in Alton; of course we have the drawbacks of white prejudice and Negro indifference in too many instances, but conditions are all the same, constantly getting better and we have there all exceptionally large number of worthy Negro people. Rev. Dr. Geo. Mason, pastor of our Ist Baptist Church and owner of an excellent farm, is exemplary of both the religious and business life of the community. Revs. J. H. Higgins, W. Turner, J. W.

Our principal present need as I see it, is some more wideawake Negroes with capital to invest in business. We proudly point to such successes in our business and professional life as Dr. George Samuel and wife, Messra Samuel Lewis and Flowers, the latter an efficient hatter; Arthur Evans and wife, Mrs. Pannie Kelly and her sister, Miss Mary Clarke, and numerous others. Alton has a welcoming hand for all Negroes who aim at right living and who are energetic and liberal minded. Such colored people can surely win the respect and aid of men of all races at Alton. There is no more striking proof of this than the standing of the esteemed Conrad Knight who has been an appreciated employee of one leading Alton firm for more than twenty years. His wife is a former St. Louis girl and their oldest daughter, Anna, in a teacher and a second daughter, Mint Lillian, graduates from the high school this year as also will the talented Price sisters.

(Source: 1924, Moody Bible Institute) LESSON TEXT—Acts 1:7-1:2 GOLDEN TEXT—He thou faithful unto death and I will give thee the crown of life.—Rev. 3:18 This lesson closely follows that of last Sunday. There are some battles of life that are not fought with fists or weapons. The boy who holds his temper is more manly than the one who goes into a fight simply to win. Paul tells us how and what to fight (Eph. 6:11, 13). We must show the scholars clearly the two great battles Stephen fought and the victory he won as described in today's lesson. The charges made against Stephen were made by "false witnesses." This does not mean men who invented false words, but men who took isolated statements, distorted them and by innuendo used them for their own ends. Stephen was charged with three things: (a) Blasphemy against God (6:11-13), (b) That he had said Jesus would return and destroy the temple (6:14), (c) That he claimed that Jesus would destroy or abrogate the law (6:14). This great passage of Scripture is so profound and so closely connected that we healtate in trying to separate it into divisions or sections. We much prefer to note the logical argument and presentation Stephen the Spirit-annotated deacon made to the Sanhedrin. 1. Stephen's Defense. Stephen was a Grecianized Jew, whose name means "a crown." He answered the charges of these foreign accusers, made before the Sanhedrin, seriatim. His point of contact was to respectfully remind the council that he was an orthodox Jewish believer and worshiper (v. 2). He called the council "Men, brethren and fathers." They were common believers and all were standing before the God-appointed leaders of Israel. Stephen in his reply showed that he reverenced God and God's prophet Moses, thereby answering the first charge (v. 11), and while he reverenced the temple he showed that it was not essential to worship (7:47:49). This last was in answer to their second charge (6:14). In answer to their third charge Stephen then turned upon his enemies and by direct and indirect charges he convicted them of certain facts. Indirectly, by skillful repetition of Jewish history, and a review of the prophets, he discloses the vacillation and sinfulness of God's chosen people (23, 29). Directly he accuses these leaders of having been subservient to certain customs as being superior to the law they professed to obey. Stephen's accusers were, as we have seen, from without Jerusalem (6:9, 10), and his first battle was concerning the truth about Jesus. His second great battle, and one of his ultimate victory, was with these avowed enemies of Jesus (6:11:8.3). 11. Stephen's Death. The real contest of this occasion was Satan vs. the Holy Spirit. Stephen put to rout these men from the foreign synagogue, hence the Jewish authorities determined to take hold of the problem themselves and put a stop to this Christian teaching. Stephen's sudden application of the Scripture to his judges caused intense anger. He preached the word of God in the demonstration of the Holy Spirit, and such preaching always either produces conviction of sin, or else arouses anger at the preacher. These men could not deny the truth of his accusation; they therefore turned upon him in anger. Being "full of the Holy Spirit" is an abiding condition and inevitably involves a conflict with Satan. It led Stepnen to look up and not about him, and in his hour of testing he saw a wonderful vision of heaven—"The glory of God and of Jesus standing." Let us accept the testimony of this dying man as a literal fact. This sight strengthened him for his sun-fering and for his witnessing. Death had no more terror for Stephen and he was faithful and steadfast to the end. III. Stephen's Burial. These men overreached themselves, for persecution simply scattered those who gave the Christian testimony, a wider and a more effective bearing (11:19-21). This force of circumstances thrust the early church forth from Jerusalem. Now, after a period of perhaps five or seven years, we see the beginning of the literal fulfillment of the Pentecostal program (Acts 1:8). During this storm of persecution the apostles remained at their posts in Jerusalem. Saul's rage knew no bounds, and not content with disputations in the synagogues, he persecuted the church, sparing neither sex nor age (6:1-3). Stephen's success was in his personal life and his unswerving testimony. Stephen's victory has been a first fruit of the triumph of the church throughout its history. In heaven he wears the victor's crown among "the overcomers." Over the grave of the two Wesleyans in Westminster Abbey, is a tablet bearing these words: "And bury his workwork but carry on the work." By REV L. W. GOSNELL Superintendent of Men, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. TEXT-Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus—Philippians 4:8, 7. Martin Luther once noticed a bird perched on a tree, resting for the night. "That little bird," he said, "has chosen its shelter and is about to go to sleep in tranquility; it has no disquietude, neither does it consider where it shall rest tomorrow night, but it sits in peace on that slender branch, leaving it to God to provide for it. Thus we ourselves refuse to trust in God, who so far from night. "That little bird," he said, "has chosen its shelter and is about to go to sleep in tranquillity; it has no disquietude, neither does it consider where it shall rest tomorrow night, but it sits in peace on that slender branch, leaving it to God to provide for it. Thus we ourselves refuse to trust in God, who so far from willing our condemnation, has given for us his Son." The text we have chosen makes clear the pathway to peace for human hearts. First, we are to be "careful for nothing." This exhortation has been misapplied by some. They are truly careful for nothing and think they have cast their care upon God. But those acquainted with all the circumstances inform us that they have only cast their carps upon their husbands or wives or friends, who must bear the burden for them. For such people to talk of trust in God is sheer hypocrisy. There is a proper sort of carefulness which is commended of by St. Paul in the very epistle from which our text is taken (Philippians 3:20). The revised version makes clear the meaning of the apostle in our text by the translation, "Be anxious for nothing." Again, we are to be prayerful about everything. Some good people are wise about what is written in this regard. They tell us we should pray only about spiritual matters; but the text says "everything." The old mystics even went so far as to say we should have no desires, but should only pray, "Thy will be done." To say the least, this would be very unhuman, and we are glad to be assured by the text that it is not the divine. requirement. The Father wants us to tell out our hearts freely into his ear, and we can see at once the relief this affords, and how it is related to our peace. Questions may arise as to the need of telling God all when he knows all. Whether we can answer them or not the fact remains that we are encouraged "in everything by prayer and supplication," to make our requests known unto God. Henry Clay Trumbull was a very practical man, to whom prayer was a reality. He believed that in literally everything he should make his requests known to God. On one occasion just as he was leaving for the train he mislaid the manuscript of an address he was to deliver. He had put it in his pocket and it had disappeared most mysteriously. He at once had recourse to prayer. He testifies that immediately it was suggested in his mind that he look in his inside vest-pocket rather than in the pocket of his coat, and lo! the missing document was found. God will answer in various ways, but our part is plain: "in everything make your requests known to God." The third direction to those who seek peace is, that our prayer should be offered "with thanksgiving." This element is so generally omitted; as Spurgeon said, "Complaint is the largest tribute heaven receives." But we may be thankful, literally, in everything. The very privilege of prayer should make us grateful, for it gives us access to the most holy place. The fact that all comes to us from the hand of God is a sure ground for confidence that we may be thankful for all. It will be seen at once that a grateful heart will help us on the way to peace. Then follows a promise that "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep (or guard) your hearts and minds (or thoughts) in Christ Jesus." The figure is a beautiful one. We are seen as sheltered in Christ as in a fortress, while peace like a sentinel guards the door. The completeness of our protection is suggested by the expression "hearts and thoughts," i.e., the whole inner man and the very workings of that inner man, in detail, shall be guarded by peace. It is to be noted that this is a definite promise to those who are anxious for nothing, prayerful about everything and thankful for anything. A gloomy Christian told a happy colored woman she did not see how she kept so joyous. "Suppose," said she, "you grew sick, or your employer died, or some other dreadful thing were to happen?" The happy saint interrupted: "Stop, honey; I never supposes. The Lawd is my Shepherd. It's all dem 'supposes' as is makin' you so miserable. You'd better give dem all up and just trust de Lawd."
