St. Louis Argus

The St. Louis Argus GOVERNOR ORDERS THAT COLORED GIRL SHALL BE REINSTATED Massachusetts Executive and His Council Declare State Hospital Must Replace Stenographer Discharged on Account of Color. Equal Rights League Champions Cause. When Miss Bosfield was first discharged from the state hospital some time ago, a storm of protest went up from quite a number of people, not only in Massachusetts; but in many parts of the country. But like many other cases most of the protestants forgot about the case and left it to die, and the young woman, out of her position that she had competed for, and won. But the Equal Rights League of Boston, led by Mr. Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, kept up the fight until the case finally reached the governor of the state, who heard the case, with his council and he decided that Miss Bosfield's discharge was a case of pure discrimination on account of color. Therefore the governor issued the following order: "Ordered: That it is the opinion of the Governor and councill that Miss Jane R. Bosfield should be reinstated forthwith in the position from which she was discharged at the Medfield State Hospital; that notice of this order be transmitted to the trustees of hospital and any other officer having jurisdiction, in order that the requisite steps may be deferred taken to secure reinstatement." The Meaning of Order It is regarded as certain at the State House that if the trustees of the Medfield State Hospital do not bring about the immediate reinstatement of Miss Bosfeld that the Governor and council will remove all of the trustees if necessary to accomplish this. Hearing the Case At the hearing a large number of persons appeared to urge action on the part of the Governor and council to secure the reinstatement of Miss Bosfeld. Miss Bosfeld's petition stated that she had been discriminated against in that she was not housed with the other employees, but was first placed in the gardener's house and later in the morgue and chapel building. She had to take her meals from a tray instead of eating with other employees, she said. French says it was Insubordination Dr. Edward French, superintendent of the Medfield State Hospital, stated Miss Bosfeld was not discharged on account of her color, but because of insubordination. She insisted, he said, on going into the employees' dining room after being directed not to do so. Attorney C. W. M. Williams scored Dr. French for what he termed discrimination, and also criticised the hospital trustees and the Insanity Board; The Petition "We, the undersigned citizens of Massachusetts, in view of the color discrimination and color segregation clearly revealed on the witness stand in the case of Miss Jane R. Bosfield, respectfully pray, that the ultimate and supreme executive authority and power of the commonwealth be exerted so that the discriminators and segregators be disciplined, the victim be granted due restoration of rights, and especially that such denial of equal rights because of color be abolished and forbidden in Massachusetts. We request that an audience be granted the league on race discrimination right speedily." Members Who Secured Audience to Present Petition Among the leaders in the delegation were W. Monroe Trotter, J. W. Schenck, E. T. Morris, Wm. D. Brigham, the Rev. T. A. Auten, E. P. Benjamin, the Rev. B. W. Swain, J. M. Burrell, C. J. Wright, Sherwin L. Cook, C. L. Raynor, C. G. Morgan, J. A. Crawford, Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, Rev. M. W. Thornton, Allen W. Whaley—Boston Traveler. Interpretation of Action by Daily Press An as order by the Governor's council in as yet a request, we give the report of, the episode, an historic one, published by the Belfast Post, an 'independent Democratic newspaper, greatest in New England, which was early asked by the League to help the cause of justice editorially and which published three strong editorials on the issue. The Post of yesterday morm- ing published on its front page the following report with a cut of Miss Bosfield and with this heading in large type:—"Miss Bosfield to get her job." "Governor and Council vote she should be reinstated even if trustees are 'fired.'" Governor McCall and the members of the Executive Council unanimously voted yesterday that Jane R. Bosfield, the young Colored woman stenographer who was dismissed from the Medfield State Hospital recently, should be reinstated at once. The action of the Governor and council immediately followed a lengthy hearing which they gave on the case. MUSICAL COMPANY COMING TO THE B. W. THEATRE The Musical Miller Stock Company of ten people will be the attraction at the Booker Washington Theater next week, beginning Monday. Charles Anderson, the celebrated yodler, heads the company. The play is made up of a musical comedy-drama, and vaudeville numbers. The company carries its own band of six pieces and will give a concert in front of the theater every evening at 7 o'clock. Theatrical critics pronounce the outfit one of the strongest in vaudeville and Mr. Turpin is to be congratulated for securing these stars for his popular play house. There will be no advance in prices. MOVIES "I regret so much I did not get to see 'Poro' College moving pictures at the Centennial Christian Church, last Friday evening, hope it was not the last showing," said "Miss Absence," yesterday. We really thought it to be our last showing, but Bloomington, Ill., has just informed us that we are booked to show there Tuesday evening, May 2, at the Wayman A. M. E. Church. The Pastor's Club of the Lane Tabernacle Church, this city, has also requested a showing Monday evening, May 8. At first these movies were destined to be only for the entertainment of the city agents, visitors, and college employees, but having accepted an invitation from St. Paul's Chapel, one of the leading churches of this city, soon after their completion, to show them for the benefit of the church, we have continued accepting these invitations from the many churches of this city, and other cities as well; until now it will only be a short while, when the entire country will have seen "Poro" College Movies. Since they are now being shown for the benefit of the churches, the proprietors of the college have taken pleasure in collecting a number of many interesting scenes of other business enterprise of our race, during their extensive travels, which have been added to the reels, thus making them all the more interesting and enjoyable. Will you let another opportunity slip you, and miss seeing moving pictures which are the only and best filmed of a college of this kind in the country! No, for you will be one of the first to make your appearance at the Lane Tabernacle Church, 3006 Fairfax Ave. Monday evening at 8:30 prompt. The Pastor's Club of this church shall keep watch for you. So come; we, too, will appreciate your presence. Admission, 10 cents. Rev, and Mra. A. M. Ward, of Denver, Colo., enroute to the general conference of the A. M. E. Church, to be held in Philadelphia, spent Thursday in this bity, the guests of Poro College. On their return, they will be in the city for a few days, at which time they will be pleased to meet their many friends. ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1916. Nearly $8,000 Collected. Team Fourteen, Dr. T. A. Curtis, Captain, Still Leads. Team Seventeen, Dr. C. H. Turner, Captain, Follows Closely. Two hundred and eighty-six persons have paid in full their pledges to the Young Men's Christian Association Building. Fund. Nine hundred and eighty payments have been made on pledges, which bring the total amount paid up to $7,754.76. In the standing of teams, Team No. 14 still leads. Team No. 8, which temporarily forged ahead has been displaced by Teams 17 and 9. At the meeting of Team No. 8 at the residence of F. A. Carter of that team, the team members present pledged themselves to meet once a month and to see each subscriber of their team once a month until Team No. 8 should be in the lead. No less enthusiastic was the meeting of the campaign committee on Sunday morning just before the church services, when the members that were present agreed to pay in their pledges in full at the earliest possible moment so that finances for the purchasing of the lot would not be lacking. As soon as enough money has been collected for the lot, the purchase will be made. Interest centers in the lot question these days and it is agreed by all that the association should make the purchase at an early day. W. L. Majors, president and founder of the Oxford College of Hair Culture, made the following statement to a representative of the Argus. "I am pleased to say that our business has grown more rapidly in the past twenty months than any other similar concern; have never mentioned our rapid advancement until now, because I wanted our agents and customers to really obtain results from the use of our preparations. Now I want to prove to the public that I have come to stay. In order to make this rapid progress in this business, we realized that there were three important points: 1. System for handling my trade in all parts of the country. 2. To use the very best raw materials in manufacturing my preparations. 3. To obtain satisfactory results, then the battle would be won; at the same time I did not forget the great competition which I had to face. We have agents from coast to coast and each day brings encouraging testimonials from every part of the country—not only have we met with success out of town, but in the city as well. We have been able from time to time to enroll local agents and customers. It is our constant increase of business which enables us to give more employment." Mr. Majors stated that he is the first and only one of his race in this business to demonstrate his own inventions and preparations before some of the most influential citizens through the South and has gained quite a reputation in the East as well. Mr. Majors will make a very extensive tour in his car for the purpose of visiting his agents and making more, being accompanied by his wife, and secretary, Miss Alby Simms. Mr. Majors will hold big demonstrations for one week at Harris' drug store, Pendleton and North Market streets. It will be similar to one held at Chicago exposition last August, which proved to be a wonderful success and received great credit for same. Date will be given later. A DRAMA WORTHY OF PRAISE To much cannot be said of the splendid drama, "Lord Earlington's Broken Vow," presented by Mrs. Ruth Shelton, for White Rose Troop, No. 8 at Pythian Hall, and Booker Washington theatre each time to fine and enthuastic audiences. Those who witnessed the beautiful soul stirring drama, that appeals to every man, woman and child, possibly did not realize that it was written by Mrs. Ruth Shelton, a woman of our own race. She has given to the race a production of clean, decent comedy, interwoven with thrilling, pathetic scenes. She makes the poor, common class of people the heroes of the drama. The moral comes in the fifth act, when Lady Earlington acknowledges that there is common-earlion in her veins gives up Lord Ailwood in her idolized husband, with all his millions, for dear old Daddy Plunk. In the final lines Lord Earlington realizes that there are true and noble lives among the poor as well as among the rich, breaks his vow "Never to associate with poor, common people," by taking his wife to his heart again. Bride of the Eastertide THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMAN Mrs. Thomas Alva Jefferson (nee Wilkinson) The fourth annual Calanthian bazaar given under the auspices of the various courts and juvenile courts O. O.

BAND CONCERTS The Cadet Band under the management of Col. Hughes, was greeted with a nice audience last Sunday at Pythian Hall. Their music was very pleasing to the hearers, who showed their appreciation by many rounds of applause. These concerts will continue for some time each Sunday afternoon at 3:30. Short, interesting and inspiring is their motto. ST. JAMES RALLY BIG SUCCESS Dr. Peck, Young Minister in City, Has Won Warm Place in the Heart of Congregation and Populace as Well. A large crowd assembled in the Sunday School room last Wednesday night, April 19, to hear the result of the campaign for $2,000. At a signal from the pastor the captains marched to the rostrum, keeping time with appropriate music, and deposited a sealed envelope containing the figures together with the money, into a box whose number corresponded to the number of the troup. When the envelopes were opened, the money counted, and the total amount of $1,103.75 was announced, the applause was deafening. Mrs. Ella Jones, captain of "American Beauty" troupe No. 3, led with $182.00. This is indeed a great financial victory for Dr. Peck, who came to us six months ago a perfect stranger. The pastor and trustees will entertain the captains with their respective troops Friday evening, April 28. The auditorium and lecture room were filled to their utmost capacity with an immense throng who worshiped at St. James-Easter morning. The pastor, Dr. W. H. Peck, was truly in his element, and preached a masterly sermon on "The Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ." He held his hearers spellbound. The evening service was well attended. The pastor preached from the subject, "The Paths of the Resurrected Christ." Bishop H. Blanton Parks worshiped with us and expressed himself as having been greatly benefited by the sermon. The pastor leaves April 30 for Philadelphia, the seat of the general conference. MAYOR ORDERS OFFENSIVE SIGN TAKEEN DOWN Portland, Oregon.—After receiving a protest from Mrs. E. D. Cannady, manager of the Advocate, Mayor H. B. Albee, of this place, ordered a sign, "No Colored People Served at the Tables," taken down from a confectionary store. In replying, Mayor Albee, said the proprietor spoke very highly of the Negroes in the neighborhood, that the annoyance came from outsiders and agreed to remove the sign.

Church, Garrison and Lucas Aves., Monday, May 1, beginning at 8:30 p. m. sharp. Many new features will be added to the last engagement, newer, bigger and brighter than ever.

"Why Jesus Was a Man and Not a Woman, three books treat the sex of the Bible," over one hundred and seventy-five pages, $2.00. All cloth-bound. These books treat of the sex of the Bible, and show that the Bible is a book of sex and science, sickness and insanity are within the viding line between the physical and spiritual worlds. They show that disease, sickness and insanity are within the final sin and cause of death. They are arresting the attention of the medical, scientific, philosophical and theological other books of modern times, and will probably do more to shape the thoughts of the human race than any books ever written. They are daily going to the great thinkers of all parts of the civilized world. "I would rather be the author of the Truth About the Bible, by Sidney C. O'Connor, and the United States. His sex interpretation of the Bible, as therein contained, is so daring and his conclusions are so unconventional that staggers under the ideas presented. For ideas it is the world's greatest book. Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible will be until time shall be no more. Republics may parish and Empires may decay, but these books on the Bible will never die."—Proof, J. Blas Harris, A. M. "Mr. Tapp's works on the Bible will do more to empty our fall, 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 ruman race. that should be in every home and library in the civilised world.

The party knew quite well that freedom meant education, that education meant citizenship; that citizenship meant suffrage, that suffrage meant holding office and participation in all affairs of the government. Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president, proved this. He gave two Negroes the rank of major in the U. S. army and two more lieutenanty.

Advertise in The Argus CLEAN UP JUDGE DYER'S DECISION IN SEGREGATION Reproduced By Special The Argus is the only paper to publish entirety. Read it carefully and hand it down of the most important edicts in the history of JUDGE DYER'S DECISION IN SEGREGATION CASE The Argus is the only paper to publish the decision in its entirety. Read it carefully and hand it down to posterity as one of the most important edicts in the history of the United States. The segregation ordinances, which were passed by a popular vote of the people of this city on Feb. 29, last, were virtually killed by a decision handed down by Judge D. P. Dyer in the United States court here last Monday. As was exclusively predicted in the last week's issue of the Argus a sweeping victory was gained by the plaintiffs. A large number of Colored people, both men and women were present, and when the decision was rendered a sigh of relief was manifested. The attorneys for the plaintiff made a strong appeal against the ordinance, led by Col. W. H. Blodgett, while Associate City Counselor Paul Griffin appeared for the city. Judge Dyer's Decision In the most eloquent language Judge Dyer handed down the following decision: The Court: "I have listened with much interest to all that has been said here. The debate has taken a very wide range. Practically there is but one legal question before the Court for decision, and that question is the validity of the two ordinances in question. That being true, it is also true, as counsel has said, that the Court's feelings personally should have nothing to do with determining this one question. Judges are very much like other people. They all try to do right and they try to administer justice. "Nine years ago on this bench I took an oath. One of its provisions was 'that you solemnly swear that you will administer justice to the rich and poor alike.' I have tried hard to live up to the obligation of that oath. I know I have made many mistakes and have fallen far short of what probably would be counted a learned judge, but I have tried to do justice between man and man." "Allusion has been made by counsel here to the fact that I have lived in this state a long time. For more than seventy years I have resided within sixty miles of where I sit today. My father came to this state from old Virginia where I was born, and settled in Lincoln county in 1841. He was the owner of Negroes. I was raised with Negroes, but as God is my judge I have tried always all my life to be just to them, and God giving me help I will continue so to the end. "I have heard all this talk about intermarriage and miscegenation and all of that fifty years ago. Arguments were then made for the purpose or scaring men out of their wits by an appeal to their prejudices. These arguments, if they may be called such, were made when the question of emancipation was up; it was the contention then that ultimately it would lead to intermarriage between the races. I believed it would not do anything of the kind then, and believe so now. Negroes do not ask for equality; whites do not ask for it; the Negroes only SEGREGATION INJUNCTION PLEASES BUILDING COM- MISSIONER McKELVEY Jas. N. McKelvey, building commissioner and republican committeeman from the 23rd ward, was more than pleased with Judge Dyer's decision on the segregation ordinances. 1 According to the law, it would be the duty of the building commissioner to put into effect and enforce the ordinances. This he has well shown was distasteful to him. He was one of the most active workers against the measures during the campaign and one of the first committeemen to declare and proceed against it. He is unalterably opposed to any effort toward class legislation, and feels that Judge Dyer's decision has vindicated him in his bold stand against race proscription. Call Bom. 1452 for printing. DECISION REGATION CASE Special Request per to publish the decision in its hand it down to posterity as one the history of the United States. ask to have the same privileges as others have, the same rights under the law as others have. The plaintiffs are Negroes born in the United States; they are taxpayers of the city of St. Louis by virtue of which they are entitled under the constitution to the same legal rights as any white, native born, or any foreign born naturalized citizen of the United States. I would not be doing my duty if I hesitated to deal out equal justice to every one alike. "These ordinances I have heretofore considered. As a citizen I examined them with care, and as a citizen I cast my vote against them, and, in my judgment, not formed particularly today, but formed before I exercised my right to vote. I believe that these ordinances are void and illegal and that the police-power claimed here cannot deprive a man of using the money made by the sweat of his brow in buying property wherever the property owner will sell it, and, when he does buy it, he has a right, under the constitution and the laws of the United States, to occupy it as long as he obeys the law, and as long as the property is not made a nuisance. Everybody knows, we all know and regret it, that not only among Negroes, but among white people there are communities which are no credit to the localities in which they exist, but I know some of the most reputable men that are to be found anywhere are found in this city among the colored people. I speak of that because of the argument made here about the police power being sufficient to deprive a man of his property, deprive a man of his earnings and deprive him of the bread that he makes. I have heard that before, it did not affect me then and it does not affect me now. "I shall grant here a temporary injunction, restraining the enforcement of these ordinances, and I only say temporary for the reason that it has been stated that there is a case involving a like question now before the Supreme Court of the United States. "As I said at the beginning, knowing this case was coming I wrote to the clerk of the Supreme Court for a copy of the record in the case pending there, and of the briefs filed by counsel in the case. I have examined that record, and I have examined it in the light of these ordinances and I find a very great difference between the ordinance before the Supreme Court and the ordinances here, but being desirous of not taking any action on issues on which the Supreme Court is to pass, and whose decision it is my duty and the duty of every other citizen of the United States to acquiesce in, I will make this injunction temporary; otherwise but for the pendency of that ease I would make it permanent. "The order will be that these injections as prayed for in these bills will be granted, a continuing order until the further order of tifa Court." NEGROES ORGANISE-TO SUPPORT JUDGE LAMM Representatives from all the Colored wards in St. Louis, met at the "Lamm for Governor" headquarters Tuesday night and perfected a permanent organization.

Our Easter sermon at 8:30 o'clock on the "Raising of Lazarus from the Dead," gave the congregation a very vivid lesson on resurrection and life. A committee of ladies with Mrs. Lillie Briscoe as leader decorated the altar most beautifully for our Easter services. The collection for the day, from all departments, amounted to $35. If this amount is duplicated by all the churches of Missouri, it will give Western College a big boost.

In precious remembrance of our dear sister, Stella Blackman, who departed this life one year ago, April 25, 1915. Day by day, we sadly miss you. Friends may think the wound is healed; But little they know the grief. That's within our heart concealed. Sleep on dear sister, take thy rest. We loved you dearly, but our Saviour loved you best. Sadly misused by sisters and brothers. (Signed) Mrs. E. R. Hollister. CARD OF THANKS Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

POPE of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT—Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together.—Heb. 10:25. 1. The ideal prayer meeting never happens. If it is a good meeting, some- body has put prayer and thought and work into it. The laws of grace are as rigid, and as reliable, too, as the laws of nature. "Heaven may be had for the asking," says the poet, but the ideal prayer meeting cannot. It is as true here as elsewhere that "whatsoever a man sowth, that shall he also reap." A. Hence the leader should prepare carefully. The hymns can be selected; one person can be asked to pray for the sick, another for the absent, and so on. Attention to details helps immensely. But especially should the leader wait upon God in prayer until his heart burns with love, and his soul is sensitive to the faintest whisper of the Holy Spirit. If athletes train for a boat race or a ball game, simply to secure the applause of people, surely the Christian can afford to train for a spiritual conflict where all the forces of heaven and hell are arrayed against each other, where eternal destinies are at stake, and where every part of the service is watched with keenest solicitude by "so great a cloud of witnesses." Not only the leader, but all the members should prepare. Let them read, think and pray over the subject. Let them deny themselves daily, for a godly life is the best preparation for an ideal meeting. Let them gather up spiritual strength all the week and concentrate it upon this service, making it the supreme hour of the week, the hour When heaven comes down our souls to greet. And glory crowns the mercy-seat. II. The ideal prayer meeting has an object as well as a subject—a definite object, never to be forgotten by the leader or the workers. What is that subject? It is not simply to have an interesting meeting. A service may be interesting, and yet be so devoid of spirituality as to suggest only, "sounding brass and tinkling cymbals." The real object is to awaken spiritual emotion, to bring the soul face to face with God, to kindle fires of devotion until the altar is all ablaze with the sacrifice of willing hearts, and there comes over the audience that indescribable thrill and holy hush which betokens the presence of God, and which makes every heart ready to say, "O God, thy will be done." This is the true object of a prayer meeting—to bring every soul to the point where it is willing to do its duty, so that decisions may be made and results may be secured, right then and there. At the close of a meeting where the theme was temperance the tide of feeling rose so high that 64 young men and women signed a total abstinence pledge and thereby completely revolutionized the temperance sentiment of that church. Whatever the subject of the meeting, never lose sight of the object. Feeling which does not lead to action is of questionable value. III. The ideal meeting is cheerful, social and hearty. Have a bright carpet on the floor, appropriate pictures on the wall, flowers on the table, and the room seated with chairs. Make it look as little like a church, and as much like a home as possible. Lay off hats, wraps and overshoes. Have a "smile-em-up committee" at the door to welcome strangers and to distribute the audience widely—the small boys apart from each other, the workers near the unconverted, and the timid ones near the more spiritual. Into this "rest for the weary" come with your thanksgiving and rejoicing. Make the welkin ring with song. Let the most spiritual members lead in prayer until a strong devotional atmosphere has been created, which will make it easy for anyone to confess Christ. Be cheerful! Paul had his discouragements, but he kept them to himself. Cultivate the habit of handshaking, and do not wait for an introduction. In short, strive to be One of the spirit chosen by heaven to turn The sunyside of things to human eyes. IV. The ideal meeting is one in which all take part. There are some things that lie within the reach of all. You can fill up the front seats, and thus support the leader. You can speak early in the meeting, and one sentence then is worth a dozen later Anyone can repeat a verse of Scripture, and if it is selected with care and prayer, God will use it to strengthen the saints and to carry conviction to sinners. Remember that the Word of God is in the oard of the Spirit. "God for a purpose, and expect results." INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (By R. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Monday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) (Copyright, 1916, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR APRIL 30 PETER DELIVERED FROM PRISON. LESSON TEXT—Acts 12:1-19 LESSON TEXT—Acts 12:1-19 GOLDEN TEXT—The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.—Palmack 34:7. One day the "sons of Zebedee" desired Jesus to grant a carte blanche petition. Pressed further as to their particular request, they petitioned for the seats of authority on the right and left hand of Jesus in glory. In reply Jesus said that such a petition was not a proper one nor intelligently asked, but according to their intrepid assertions of willingness they should be baptized with his baptism of death (Mark 10:35-45), and that the greatest of his followers should be "servant of all." Today's lesson is a fulfillment of that prophecy. 1. Peter in Prison, the Church Praying (vs. 1-6). Persecutions had been resumed (9:31) after a temporary lull. Some people serve Christ by living others by yielding up their lives for his sake. James (not the one mentioned in chapter 15) was slain and Peter's death delayed in order not to pollute the feast of the Jewish Holy week. Peter's position was perilous. Sixteen soldiers guarded him in a Roman dungeon. But his enemies had left God out of their calculations and the believers had linked themselves through prayer with the source of all power. Against such a force Herod's cunning plan, whereby he might curry favor with the Jews (v. 3), is powerless. But it is now almost the hour for Peter's execution. Why the delay? The greater to demonstrate the power of God. Herod and the Jews cared not for, nor recognized, Easter, but God cared for his servant and honored the prayers of his saints. Peter's faith in the plans and purposes of God is indicated by his slumber and the need of being fully awakened by the angel. There are four things about that vigil of prayer (v. 5) offered by the church on Peter's behalf, which was so wondrously answered. (1) It was directed "unto God." Some prayers are offered to audiences or the ears of man, but not such as are answered. We have heard prayers, so called, offered where the name of Jesus is never mentioned, and scarcely the name of God. Literally (v. 5) this was a "stretch-out-edly" prayer, and its earnestness was such as to circumvent this vile grandson of Herod the Great. (2) It was made "without ceasing" ("earnestly" R. V.). There was a sincerity and an intensity of desire on Peter's behalf which language can scarcely express (See also Rom. 8:26). The same word is used of our Lord's prayer in the garden when "His sweat was as great drops of blood falling down to the ground" (Luke 22:44; Rom. 15:30, Col. 4:12, 13, R. V.) There is little such prayer to be found, but once found it is answered. 11. Prayer Answered, Peter at Liberty (va. 7-11). The messenger of God (v. 7) brought light, yet the servant of God needed awakening, a suggestion to apply to our modern church life. His method of awaking Peter suggests that it often takes sharp blows to arouse us to our duties and privileges. The sinner has to be awakened before he can be delivered. Deliverance is more needed than sleep. 111. Joy and Amazement (vs. 12-17) Peter, finding himself untrammeled and free upon the streets of the city, and no longer angel-accompanied, at once repaired to his friends. Do we seek the prayer meetings? It was startling indeed for the subject of their prayers to knock at the door; perhaps he should have been more considerate of their feelings. One, Rhoda, readily responded, and it was her persistent faith that finally overcame the lack of faith on the part of the others. While they were yet speaking God had answered (Isa. 65:24), but such a prompt and complete deliverance was not expected, and it amazed and bewildered them. Rhoda seemed to be expecting Peter, for as soon as she answered Peter's rap at the door she recognized his voice (v. 14), and from sheer joy over the good news she was able to communicate it to those praying, but she neglected the important duty of opening the door for Peter. She was only a "maid" and her message was but foolishness (Luke 24:11), which her elders sought to explain, but poor Peter still outside, "continued knocking," which soon convinced those within, and upon opening the door they "saw him" and were "astonished." Calming their fears and admonishing them to hold their peace (v. 17). Peter turned their thoughts from himself to Jesus and commanded that James, the leader of the Jerusalem church, and "the brethren," be informed of his deliverance. Meanwhile he went to "another place."

ATHLETICS AND AMUSEMENTS By H. T. M. THEATRES ALL 'ROUND GOOD SHOW AT BOOKER WASHINGTON A good variety show of high class calibre is on the boards at the Booker Washington theater this week. Miss Gertrude Struffin' opens with three popular song numbers well rendered. She does well, is in good voice and garnishes her work with a little dancing. Ruf and Cusock, a white team, offer a wealth of original dialogue. They are specialists in the art of high kicking. The lady is a good vocalist, and their dance numbers are artistic. Frank Rodgers, a ventriloquist of high degree, has two manikins, a white and black, to carry his comedy. His imitations of a circus speecher, without moving his lips, is a wonderful performance and places him in a rank without The Porters close the show with a riot of fun, music and dancing. Their rapid fire talk goes big. Both are good singers, and their act closes strong. Next week the Great Musical Millers Stock Company of ten people, headed by Chas. Anderson, the yodler, will undoubtedly pack the house at every performance. WEATHER DELAYS OPENING OF NEW MOVIE AIRDOME The management of the Movie Skydome, home of the Triangle Plays, regrets to announce that owing to unsettled weather conditions the grand opening of the Movie Skydome may be postponed. However the opening date will be advertised in advance. For the opening he has secured what is proclaimed the cream of filmdom. A Triangle production in six parts entitled, "The Birth of Texas, or Martyrs of the Alamo," and a Keystone sensation in laugh making. The Movie Skydome will be the home of Triangle Plays. NEXT TUESDAY AT THE COMET Florence Reed in New York, a five reel Broadway success, under the direction of George Fitzmaurice, will be the big photo-play feature at the Comet Theater Tuesday, May 2. It is an interesting comedy drama of the temptation of the white lights. SERIAL PICTURE FOR THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER "The Secret of the Submarine," the greatest theme of all motion pictures, in fifteen intense, fascinating two-act chapters, will be shown at the Booker Washington theater every Monday beginning May 8. This is a timely presentation of a remarkably proposed submarine invention, surrounded by a globe-girdling web of amazing plot and intrigue, and a baffling "mystery within a mystery." See next week's Argus. Boggs' Cafe Mr. Charles A. Boggs reopened his popular cafe, 2901 Lawton Ave., Thursday night, April 20, to a large and joyful patronage.

GIANTS BEAT WABADAS IN OPENING GAME LAST SUNDAY Before a large gathering of fans, last Sunday at High School campus, Barrett's St. Louis Giants defeated the Wabada Graduates 3 to 1 in a game that did not extend the colored stars. Captain Wallace showed all his mound artists, Williams, Wade and Gatewood. Four hits were made off "String Beans" in 4 innings, none off Wade in 3 and 4 off Gatewood in the last 2. Williams was suffering from a sore arm and Gatewood was not properly warmed up. Jimmie Lyons showed his old "pep" on the bases. Bennett has recovered his batting eye. "Speck" Webster and Cobb showed old time form behind the bag. The boys showed their popularity, by drawing a crowd of fans of which at least 90 per cent were colored. Daily gave good satisfaction as umpire.

Watkins Wishes To Thank Public For $3,500 Worth of Installment Business During the Month of March [Name] I wish to thank the public for its substantial patronage during March, giving me $3,500 installment business. Continued support will enable me to take larger quarters and necessitate employing more colored salesmen. Don't continue to spend your money with white merchants, who have shown you only recently that they are not your friends. Be a booster for the race. Negroes spend a million dollars a month in St. Louis, but less than 1 per cent reaches colored merchants. Every dollar spent with the white man is a dollar lost to the race. Why these conditions? Why not support the business and professional men and women of our own race, who are begging your patronage? As for our store, we invite you to call and see the many good bargains, on our floor, which we are offering just as cheap and of just as good quality as any others. Our factory resources are unlimited. If you wish me to call on you, phone Bomont 1792-W; but remember you are always welcome to our store. CHAS. H. WATKINS, PIANOS AND PLAYER PIANOS 200 LACLEDE AVE. Tomorrow's clouds cannot obscure today's blue sky. The fellow who rests on his laurels soon becomes known as a has-been. The armed liner that fights and runs away may live to be sunk some other day. The printer who set it up as "messed" troops was wiser than he knew. The "poison uen" is bad enough, but the vitriolic typewriter is even worse. The invention of a leatherless shoe comes just in time to help out the footless veteran. Slowly the conviction grows that military strategy is largely a matter of explaining accidents. To change human nature, if such a thing were possible, would take much of the fun out of life. As soon as a man gets old enough to know that he doesn't know it all he becomes less critical. It takes more than "Safety First" sign to keep automobiles and street cars from smashing together. Evidently the original scrap of paper is to be found in the "obey" clause of the marriage contract. Now it is denied that Mars has any inhabitants. This is tough luck after they have been trying so hard to signal to us. Antimartial slogans will never convince any young mother that she isn't raising her boy to become some sort of a hero. You can always tell a man who has plenty of time on his hands by the careful way in which he studies a war map. There are three ways of enjoying oneself in the South in cold weather—being a plutocrat, a baseball player or a tramp. The season is approaching when the weather man can risk a few fair and warmer announcements by way of encouragement. About the only convincing explanation of a trench taken single-handed is that the intrepid hero carried a gun that wasn't loaded. It is remarkable how many men can create the impression that they are deep thinkers by merely contracting their brows. A Pittsburgh astronomer announces some extraordinary new spots on the sun, but perhaps he forgot to wipe the soot off his lens. A Yale professor says a boy is worth $90 and an adult $4,000. The one seems ridiculously low and the other in many cases excessively high. Now a feminist steps forward to denounce alimony. And from an admiring masculine contingent goes up the glad chorus of "Hear! Hear!" When it comes to being enigmatical even Leonardo's "Mona Lisa" has nothing on an evasive European official report from the field of battle. Some English professor would prevent war by making hostile nations undergo a cooling-off period. Would he have them count as much as a hundred? "The electric milking machine is said to be not wholly satisfactory in its operation." Probably because if doesn't wear a sunbonnet and sing a love song. The United States has a new gun capable of firing a projectile 25 miles, which is about as far as any of us civilized countries have got toward world peace. To the numerous moralizations based on the career of Lady Egiantine, a champion egg layer, mr. be added one to the effect that the cackling is a mere incident. The expert who plays chess with several people at once might have the mental equipment to keep track of all the diplomatic protests now in process of consideration. If a woman is interested in having a husband who tells the truth, she may partially succeed by never asking. "Where have you been?" and "Whom were you with?" The department of agriculture recently announced that it had been demonstrated that fiber flax equal to the best European can be successfully grown in the United States. One of the kaiser's sons was agged when a Russian bullet struck him as he was making an inspection in front of one of the Russian positions. Those Cossacks always were the rude chaps. A famous actress is reported as having been executed as a spy in Budapest.

Holliday On last Sunday our beloved pastor, Dr. D. W. Morris, delivered a powerful sermon at 11 a. m., and services were continued throughout the day. Our visitor, Brother James C. Carter, of Chicago, is one of God's special messengers. Our Sunday-school rally was a success and the younger ones led the adults by $3.01, and then the Easter-egg hunt which was much enjoyed. By Bennie Page In the congregation of Tabernacle Baptist Church Sunday morning were many visitors, who have been keeping up with the series of sermons on "Faith." as are being preached by the pastor, Dr. S. A. Mosely. The subject Sunday-morning was "Vain Faith." His eloquent and forceful manner brought his audience to tears, and sinners came forward, with tears asking for prayers. Four united with the church. The growth of the Tabernacle congregation under the leadership of Dr. Mosely has been one of the modern religious miracles in St. Louis. The pastor is requesting every member to give not less than five dollars in the rally set for the fourth Sunday in May. Tabernacle church does not make much noise, yet when it comes to the results, it is always on hand. The membership is intensely loyal and believes implicitly in the leadership of the pastor, whatever he says, "let us do," they believe that it can be done under his leadership.

I was told one time when I was in sin that if I did not see the devil and stand on the brink of hell I had better go back, because I had made a mistake about God and his building. But I say read for yourself John 5' chapter and 10th and 24th verse and don't let anyone turn you around. Sinners believe on Jesus and be saved. Now is the time to be saved. Come to Mt.
