St. Louis Argus

Irs. Johnson Says White Dentist Tried To Choke Her and Force Her To Pay For Service Not Received. Dentist Refuses To Permit Her To Leave Office Until Policemen Arrive A large crowd was attracted to the office of Dr. Hutchinson (white) dentist, whose office is located at the northeast corner of Market and Jefferson by the crises "Watch!!" "Murder!" "Help!" In the mean while a nice looking brown-alkined Colored woman ran from the doctor's office in search of a policeman. A telephone message from her brought the police who succeeded in releasing the girl from the office of the dentist and she was allowed to go home. "When an Argus reporter arrived on the scene the door leading from the street to the dentist's office was locked and the reporter knocked in vain for admission until the arrival of the police. According to the story told the police by Dr. Hutchinson, the Colored woman came to his office and consulted him about giving her gas. He claims that after he had prepared everything for that purpose the woman refused to take the gas, and also refused to pay him for his trouble. The woman stated that the dentist HEART TO HEART TALK By St. Louis Colored Dental Society In these days of strife and competition in the various professions, when race prejudice draws a distinct line of demarkation and when Negro boys and girls are completely barred from even meager positions wherein they may earn a decent wage, it is high time that the parents as well as all other members of Negro families stop long enough to carefully consider the channels in which their monies are spent. The time is at hand when mere quibbling and sidestepping the issue of Negro patronage for Negro Dentists must be put plainly and squarely up to the people and in such a way that there shall be no middle ground. This decision has been reached by the Negro Dentists of St. Louis, after having carefully investigated the existing conditions which, not only effect the Dentists themselves, but which effect all other members of the race. There are eleven Negro Dentists practicing in this city, all of whom are competent and graduates from reputable schools of dentistry and licensed by the state to practice. A majority of the eleven, give employment to a Negro girl at a living salary. How many white Dentists do you know of who cater to Negro patronage, are giving employment to Negro girls in their offices? Do you not feel ashamed to have the public know that a large per cent of the 45,000 Negroes in St. Louis give their dental work to dentists who absolutely refuse to employ in any manner, except in a menial position, Negro girls, and who besides even segregate their Negro patients? In conclusion, we will ask this final question: What hope have you ever to accomplish anything as a race of people, if you expect to continue to fatten the bank accounts of those who at every opportunity, are attempting to crush your ambitions and desire for equal opportunity by making proscriptive and discriminating laws against you, for no other reason than that you are a Negro? MOTHER'S DAY, SUNDAY, MAY. 14 Sunday will be observed as Mother's Day. Carnations will be worn as an emblem. It is also the custom for those who are absent from their mothers on this day to send them messages of affection. RESCUES tried to force her to pay him for that which she had not received, and when she refused, he locked the door, and abused her by calling her vile names and tried to choke her; whereupon she cried, "Watch!"" "Murder!" A friend of hers, Miss Arbella Payne, of 3020 Laeide, who was in the waiting room, heard the cries of Mrs. Johnson and tried to rescue her, but found the door locked. She then ran downstairs and telephoned the police. When the police asked Mrs. Johnson if she wanted them to arrest Dr. Hutchinson she stated that she only wanted to be allowed to go to her work. When the women left the office they seemed very much humiliated and tried to hide their identity. When asked by an Argus reporter for a statement, they were very reticent and refused to give their names or address. It was learned, however, that the women were Miss Arbella Payne, 3020 Laclede, and Mrs. Pearl Johnson, 3136 Pine Street. PORO MOVIES There have been unnumbered avenues of aid open to these in distress, and in like manner there have been unnumbered in distress aided by these open avenues. Knowing that they too, must be numbered among those to help the needy one, and at the same time having in mind that there are thousands who possibly would not have an opportunity to visit "Poro" College, and see the actual doings of it, the proprietors of the College, as community benefactors, began laying plans by which they might pave another way to aid the many churches and such charitable institutions in need. The result of their plans, was the reel-production known as the Unexcelled "Poro" Moyies. These pictures are shown at the different churches absolutely free of charge, and the small fee which is requested goes to the church for which the pictures are being shown. We are extremely proud to say, not boastfully, however, that return engagements are in great demand, the foremost among which are, Quiney, Decatur, Metropolis, and Cairo, Ill. The question may arise, why is everyone so anxious to see "Poro" Movies. Why? Because they are so complete, they are the only pictures of a college of this kind in the country, they give you an idea of the extensive travels of the proprietors of the College, showing interesting views, which you doubtless would not have seen otherwise, and they deal only with the actual doings of our race. All this makes them what they are, the best, the unexcelled. We, together with the Pastor's Club, of Lane Tabernacle Church, wish to express our appreciation for the splendid attendance given last Monday evening, at the showing of "Poro" Moving Pictures, which are now enroute to Louisville, Ky., by special request, for a showing there Monday evening, May 15. Mr. E. Hawkins, newly appointed manager of the Acme Laundry Co., when seen by a reporter for the Argus stated that he was well pleased with his first week's work with the laundry, saying that everything was working harmoniously and a bright future was before the corporation. At a meeting with the officials of the Clover Leaf Casualty Co., last Monday night Mr. Hawkins received many words of commendation for the splendid way in which he had handled the affairs of the company during the time he was superintendent. When the question of a successor was discussed Mr. Hawkins promptly recommended Mr. E. H. Newsome for the place of District Superintendent. It is the general-belief that Mr. Newsome will be promoted. Tom Turpin is on the sick list with A NEW FORM OF SEGREGATION Negro children who attend the public schools of St. Louis are to have a "Negro Field Day," rather than a field day of all the children of our public schools. Just why the Negro must face this new phase of "Jim Crowism," and who is responsible is the question agitating the people. If the purpose is to ferment race feeling, the order will have its effect. It is just, such orders and forms of discrimination that are stepping stones to our recently enacted segregation ordinance—one is by law, the other by consent or order of those in authority. Both will be strongly opposed by our citizens. The Argus calls its readers' attention to its editorial this week, subject: again "Jim Crowed."

Special to the St. Louis Argus. Nashville, Tenn., May 5—All Tennessee is celebrating the victory won by R. B. Church Jr., in the Republican state convention held at Nashville, Wednesday. The Negro emancipated himself. Ending a campaign that claimed the attention of every element in the Republican party, Mr. Church was elected a delegate-at-large to the coming Chicago convention. For the first time since 1892 a Tennessee Colored Republican has been given a place as a delegate-at-large to a National convention. It is not too much to say that the victory achieved by Mr. Church in the name of 75,000 Colored Republicans, is the most notable in the annals of Tennessee politics. He had the active support of only one of the state leaders, former Governor Ben W. Hooper, nominee for the U. S. Senate. Two hours before the meeting of the convention Mr. Church was told that there was no hope for him and his people. Then in a most remarkable If you want pleasure this summer you had better attend the first grand Moonlight Excursion of the season given by Academy Boys and Girls on the beautiful steamer Grey Eagle, Monday evening, May 15, 1916.

WARNING conference, in which all the big leaders and J. C. Napier-together with Mr. Church and Roscoe Simmons, took part, the slate was broken. In presenting the cause for Mr. Church, Roscoe Simmong, close friend of the Tennessee leader, chided the leaders for breaking an agreement that included Mr. Church as a delegate-at-large. Congressman Sells said that it was impossible to ignore the arguments advanced of desert so fine an organizer as Mr. Church had proved himself to be. For the first time in the history of Tennessee politics all the colored leaders stood together, supporting Mr. Church every inch of the way. Among those active in the fight wore J. C. Napier, A. N. Johnson and A. W. Fite, of Nashville; T. H. Hayes, Wayman Wilkerson, Bert M. Roddy, F. M. Nesbitt, O. W. Williams, Rev. R. J. Petty, J. H. Brown, J. B. Martin, A. P. Ward, H. R. Saddler, and Roscoe Simmons, of Memphis and Louisville.

COLORED MEN CANNOT USE SHRINER'S NAME Atlanta, Ga., (Special)—The State Supreme Court has upheld a 'temporary injunction granted in Fulton Superior Court on behalf of the Arab Temple of the "Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine," a Masonic organization using the name "Ancient Egyptian, Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of North and South America." The case now is to go before a Fulton County petit jury for decision of the facts. To Persons Having Relatives Buried in Father Dickson's Cemetery All kinds of pot flowers, ferns and rose bushes will be for sale at the cemetery at very low prices all summer.

For further information call the cemetery. Kirkwood 287-a or write post card to Father Dickson's Cemetery, P. O. Box 14, Kirkwood, Mo. SPECIAL NOTICE PRICE 5 CENTS ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR CHECK Swella Y. M. C. A. Building Fund Nearly $10,000 Collected. One thousand dollars added to the Y. M. C. A. Building Fund brings the total up to $9,313.26. Mr. and Mrs. Malone before leaving for the east, sent in their second check for $1,000. This gives the building fund an unexpected boost and has lent enthusiasm to the whole collection campaign. This puts the campaign above the twenty per cent mark. Rivalry among the teams is becoming keen. Team No. 9, in the last few weeks has forged ahead until it is second in the race and only on Tuesday nosed out Team No. 17 which up to that time had held second place. Mr. Brown, the captain of team No. 9, has often said to the workers, "Look out for Team 9 in the collections," and he is certainly demonstrating Team No. 9's ability for forging ahead. When the announcement of subscribers was being made, through some error, Mr. H. A. Smith was not given credit for his pledge of $50.00, but during the week his check has come in to boost the collections of the Flying Squadron. The meeting which was announced for the 21st has been changed to the 28th. One of the greatest speakers in town has been secured so that a stirring meeting is anticipated. PRAISES FLA., CITY Rev. Carter Says Every Line of Business is Engaged in by Members of Race Dr. J. W. Carter, of Tampa, Fla., is in the city and was a caller at the Argus office, renewed his subscription and reports progress in his work in Tampa. On his return will move his family. He is in attendance at the A. M. E. Zion General Conference in Louisville, Ky., and will preach at the Wayman Chapel A. M. E. Church, Tuesday evening, the 16th. He reports in part, work is plentiful in the South, and especially in Tampa. Opportunities are great, and the possibilities for the Colored man to be a potential factor in the religious, civic and commercial life grand. In the city of Tampa the Colored people operate two drug stores, two newspapers, three theatres, two large Colored hotels, a dozen groceries, two undertaking establishments, three insurance companies, a number of beauty parlors, one domestic science school, said to be the only one of its kind and the finest in the South. The grammar and academy schools are on a par with other educational institutions, and the high school is a credit to the city and race. The term is short, but is supplemented by the patrons with the "go forward spirit." Five doctors, four real estate dealers, two dentists, two lawyers and one sanitarium are doing a good business. The church interest is carefully guarded by a set of well drilled ministers. College Hill and Beauty Heights are almost occupied by the Colored, yet there is no segregation in that city. This municipality has a broad-minded, large-hearted, big-souled mylar, who divided the spells with the Colored contingent. Mail carriers, postal clerks, cigar shipping clerks, brick masons, stone masons and carpenters, as well as other positions, are filled by the black brother. The population is between seventy and eighty thousand and out of the twenty thousand Negroes in Tampa, ten thousand of them are employed. And best of all considering the many Latin Americans and other nationalities that we must come in contact with, the relations are good. Mr. J. P. Carter, of Johnson City, Tenn., the son of Dr. Carter, is in the city on a two week's visit and is much impressed with the West and especially St. Louis. The Great Western Band will have all new music on the Grey Eagle, Monday eve., May 15. Don't fail to see the greatest exhibition picture of the age. "The Life of Booker T.

They arrest the attention of the medical, scientific, philosophical and theological worlds and people of all classes as no other world can do more probably do more to shape the thoughts of the human race than any books ever written in the history of the world. The Bible is 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. Tapp than to be the President of the United States Bible Association of the Bible, as therein contained, is so daring and his conclusions are so unanswerable that the human intellect cannot imagine these ideas, it is the world's greatest book. Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible and his sex interpretation of the Bible will still be available. Reilly may perish and Empires may decay, but the ideas presented by the author in these books on the Bible will never die." -Sidney C. Tapp "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 people of the great good, morally and spiritually, that they will do the ruman race.

Carriages furnished for all occasions 2726 Lucas Ave. Every bridal carriage is a reminder that the ancient fallacy that two can live as cheaply as one still gets 'em. Doctor Sargent of Harvard says women make just as good soldiers as men. They certainly do like to charge things. Notwithstanding the war news some of the old standbys are reappearing. Another sure cure for cancer has been announced. Somebody asks: "When is a woman old?" We're willing to leave it to some dear, sunshiny soul who is past seventy-five. The man who buys second-hand automobile tires and starts out on a thousand-mile trip qualifies for the Optimists' club. St. Louis astronomers report seeing new sun spots. Maybe European powers really at last are finding their coveted places in the sun. The command to increase and multiply is a back number. Now the increase is brought about by the divorce judge, who makes two of one. The woman who is continually lecturing her husband either considers him a fool or else she has forgotten that a word to the wise is sufficient. The war is demonstrating that because a man happens to be born a prince or a peer, it does not necessarily follow that he is a born general.

This work is not something that may be that must be done. It is a necessity as well as to the cry for help. Remember Sunday, Monday, Sunday. Let us all help the orphans. The United States of America is generically and ethically a republic, a government of the people; not of some of the people—not a majority of the people, nor a minority of the people—but all the people. He who disputes the foregoing gives the lie to the death-rattles of Valley Forge and a hundred other grandeurs, without which there would have been no United States of America. Yet there are many parasites of this sublime republic who essay this particular treason. These unqualified fungi on American citizenship are what they are because they are of the measure to be dominated by their individual slants and to be sightless of the true symmetry of a republic. They are creatures of prejudice rather than children of reason and so are without value to democracy. We are not here railing against prejudices. We understand prejudices; we ourselves have prejudices running to hatreds, but, thank God, we are not so base as to even wish to have our prejudices embalmed in law or customs. We are moved to say all the foregoing in preface to a protest against further corruption of the youth of St. Louis by the public school management of this city. This management has announced a division of the annual public school Field Day into a White Field Day and a Negro Field Day. We ask the management WHY? We ask this with the common knowledge that the only results of the change can be a further corruption of juvenile minds with the virus of caste sentiment, future keener race bitternesses and race conflicts. To do thus is to wrong posterity. It is subtle treason against American principles. It is a civic sowing of dragon's teeth. Yet it is a natural sequence of the separate, instead of the undivided, public school, which, as a violation of democracy, has been long tolerated by too indifferent patriotism. This new lesson in caste shall not be taught without our bitter protest and battle. Mr. Jim Crow must halt. He shall no farther invade the people's school system, nor parade their parks, nor lave in their swimming pools, nor invade any institution of the people. Privately, he can enter any place that welcomes him, but he shall not intrude in public places to the stultification of American ideals. We say this determinedly, in the name of our nationalism that is too often violated by biased men from alien lands and from un-American corners of our native land. Should this iniquitous change in Field Day be ordered, while colored school principals will be helpless to thwart it, colored parents of school children will be able to boycott it. Let no colored child take part in Jim Crow Field Day exercises. The managers of the Colored Orphan Home have made an appeal to the people for aid. The institution is worthy, it is doing a good work, it needs aid; in fact, it needs a new and more commodious building. This work is not something that may be done, but something that must be done. It is a necessity as well as a charity. Let us rally to the cry for help. Remember Sunday, May the 21st, is Orphan Sunday. Let us all help the orphans. WEEDING THE NEGRO OUT democratic tendency to deny the Negro a sq. saved by President Woodrow Wilson's drastic of the Negro from holding office. Sinceient he has shown great insidiousness, and weeding the Negro out. a list of the most prominent Negroes in have held the highest offices ever held by States government, who have been turned at Wilson and their places filled, mainly, by a. H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General, s. W. Anderson, Collector Internal Revenue The Democratic tendency to deny the Negro a square deal is boldly portrayed by President Woodrow Wilson's drastic process of elimination of the Negro from holding office. Since Wilson has been president he has shown great insidiousness, and great industry, also, in weeding the Negro out. Here is a list of the most prominent Negroes in the United States who have held the highest offices ever held by Negroes in the United States government, who have been turned out of office by President Wilson and their places filled, mainly, by white Southerners: Wm. H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General, Washington, D. C.; Chas W. Anderson, Collector Internal Revenue, New York City; J. C. Napier, Registrar U. S. Treasury; Henry L. Johnson, Recorder of Deeds, Washington, D. C.; P. B. S. Pineback, Revenue Agent; Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor, Navy Department; Jos. E. Lee, Collector of Internal Revenue, Jacksonville, Fla.; Jas. E. Cobb, Assistant U., S. District Attorney; Cyrus F. Adams, Assistant Registrar, U. S. Treasury; Nathan Alexander, Receiver of Public Money; Gen. Rob't Small, Collector of Port Beaufort, S. C.; Jerome B. Patterson, Deputy in Charge, San Juan, P. R.; Chas Cottrell, Collector of Revenue, Hawaii; Henry T. Furniss, Minister to Hawaii This list of displaced Negro government officials shows the sad ravages Wilson has made among prominent Negro office holders since he has been president. His ax has cut off the heads of many others of minor official importance, and, at the rate he is running his guillotine, its speed accelerated by segregation in the departments, at the end of another four years, if he is re-elected, he will hand over to his successor a government exclusively white, in which a Negro, "if he behaves himself," may be a bootblack or a spittoon cleaner, but when our nation is in peril he can carry the banner to the front. "The New York Tribune" THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS covered themselves with glory in have made a record that makes the United States. The Negro so but all wrong for civil service. In peace. For the Negro there a of work in war. He must be drawn on to the dangerous points in war all the Negroes that he can out of Is he void of gratitude? Does he he intimidated by a bitter and One point in President Willy very apparent: the idea is, "No president no Negro can expect to the government. He simply is in the Constitution, ineligible to off fight, but must be made ineligible from victory. He can work at the administration, but the product other will be used as stepping places of power and glory by this manner of treating the Negro believe all blows have a rebound and intuitively resides in the heart like ugly," and man will not end nauseated, and the natural law sion, that a man like Woodrow W patronage, seeks to despoil the president of the great and noble lives with glory in Mexico; Gen. H. Reed that makes a mark in the race. The Negro seems all right for civil service. He is a citizen in the Negro there are no honors in his. He must be driven out of civilious points in war. Why does the Negro there are no honors in his? What he can out of office? Has he no attitude? Does he appreciate loyalty by a bitter and insurmountable enemy? President Wilson's presidential idea is, "No Negro need apprehend can expect to secure any proffer. He simply is in favor of making ineligible to office. He is not to be made ineligible to the honors and the man, but the products of the one are used as stepping stones to stations and glory by those who have created the Negro cannot go on to have a rebound, and that rebound besides in the heart of every man, man will not endure meanness lear the natural law upon which we like Woodrow Wilson, who, in his to despoil the worthy and oppose great and noble United States the covered themselves wish glory in Mexico; Gen. Funston says they have made a record that makes a mark in the military history of the United States. The Negro seems all right for military service, but all wrong for civil service. He is a citizen in war, but an alien in peace. For the Negro there are no honors in peace, but plenty of work in war. He must be driven out of civil office, but rushed on to the dangerous points in war. Why does the President drive all the Negroes that he can out of office? Has he no sense of shame? Is he void of gratitude? Does he appreciate loyalty and valor? Is he intimidated by a bitter and insurmountable race antagonism? One point in President Wilson's presidential career is made very apparent: the idea is, "No Negro need apply." While he is president no Negro can expect to secure any prominent position in the government. He simply is in favor of making the Negro, by the Constitution, ineligible to office. He is not to be ineligible to fight, but must be made ineligible to the honors and benefits springing from victory. He can work and he can fight by the consent of the administration, but the products of the one and victories of the other will be used as stepping stones to stations of wealth and places of power and glory by those who have control over him. This manner of treating the Negro cannot go on much longer. We believe all blows have a rebound, and that rebound unconsciously and intuitively resides in the heart of every man. "God does not like ugly," and man will not endure meanness long without being nauseated, and the natural law upon which we based our conclusion, that a man like Woodrow Wilson, who, in his distribution of patronage, seeks to despoil the worthy and oppressed, cannot be president of the great and noble United States the second time.

Continued support will enable me to take larger quarters and necessitate employing more colored salemen. 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.

The unknown penitent who has restored $80,000 of stolen government funds must be in receipt of an income somewhat commensurate with his conscience. The Zeppelin achievements are not destructive enough to be regarded as devastating warfare, nor innocent enough to be considered harmless amusement. Lavish expenditures are reported for people who are seeking pleasure in America instead of taking a fling in Europe. The income tax is not getting all the loose change. Among new reforms is an incipient movement to have women quit darning socks, but we have a fancy that mother love will be among the barbed wire entanglements in the way. An English firm refused to accept a consignment of British flags because they were made of American instead of German dyes.

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 ad-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 it 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.

One of the kaiser's sons was angered 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.

The end of salvation, as the apostle Peter puts it, is the saving of the soul. Literally millions are much interested in that salvation, but Satan has been too successful in keeping multitudes of them confused as to how it is obtainable. There may be three answers to the question, How is a man to be saved? Saved by Principle. A. certain theological propositions, certain religious dogmas or teachings. The weakness of this position is quite easily seen by the majority and they immediately say that the theory must eventuate in practice; there must be a program of conduct, and that program must be carried out in actual life. For such a program the moral law of God is put to tribute. The ethics of wise men of Old Testament times; the best ethics of seekers after truth of the first centuries; the ethics of the Sermon on the Mount and of Jesus himself and his apostles, are all put to tribute, and a program of life is presented, and if it can be carried out, salvation will ensue perforce. This belief is in the face of much teaching of the Word of God that man's rightousnesses are as filthy rays. Yet, with all this, there are thousands of men and women today who are trusting some program of living to be their passport to eternal salvation. But sincere students of the principles and the ethics of Jesus have found that other teachings of Jesus take the foundation from under this program. The religion of Jesus Christ is unique, being different from all other religions in that those who are to receive its benefits are not to do so as the result of their belief in its principles, nor an alignment of their lives with its program of conduct. Neither Buddha nor Confucius nor Mohammed comes with such a claim. They give the principles and the program, but keep themselves in the background. Not so with Jesus Christ, and, strange as it may seem, his religion is, in a sense, the most egotistic of all the religions that the race of man has ever received. He makes most astounding claims for himself: He is equal with the Father; he is the son of God; he has all power given to him in heaven and on earth; he can raise the dead; he can lay down his life, but he can take it up again; he can forgive sin; he is worthy to receive all honor and worship, both of men and of angels; in short, he claims to be God. He clearly teaches that salvation is not in assent to, nor in belief in his principles, nor in following a program of conduct, that he gives, but in living union with himself. Personality of Jesus Christ. We may note that in the text we find that belief is referred to, but no hint is given of principles, or a program of living. The belief here, however, is not to be a mere intellectual exercise, but a soul movement. This teaching is frequent: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved;" "He that believeth on the Son of God hath everlasting life;" "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." Now all this teaches that religion is not a matter of principles or program, but of personal contact with Jesus Christ. He is represented as the head of the body, of which saved men are the members. He is the chief part of the great spiritual building known as the church of God, of which his believers are parts. He is the vine in which believers are the branches. It is intimate, personal contact all the way through. One has very properly said: "Much of the deadness that has come to modern Christendom has resulted from loose ideas of the personal element in proclaiming the gospel; in presenting a creed instead of Christ; in presenting a plan of salvation rather than a person who saves." How to get this personal contact with Jesus? Study Jesus, as he is presented, especially in the gospels and epistles of the New Testament, as the Son of God. While no one can say Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit, yet by following the Holy Spirit in his teaching in the Scriptures, we may believe that he will give light upon light as man goes on honestly and sincerely seeking to know truth at this point. Then let there be an utter and complete surrender of the soul to Jesus Christ. When Saul of Tarsus cried: "What shall I do, Lord?" as he lay prostrate on the earth by the gates of Damascus, he made the great surrender which brought him to personal salvation, but as well to the adoption of principles that gave him a program of conduct placing to God. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (BY R. O. SELLERB, Attending Director of Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago). (Copyright, 1910, Western newspaper Union.) "LO, WE TURN TO THE GENTILES." LESSON TEXT—Acts 12:13-62. GOLDEN TEXT—I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldst be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth—Acts 12:47. In the unfolding and ever-widening of the program of power we are again confronted with a crucial event. It is suggestive that at this time Paul, whose name has just been changed from Saul, now assumes his place of leadership, succeeding Barnabas. Pergo, the capital of Pamphylia, was on the southern coast of Asia Minor, and Antioch, the capital of Pisidia (southern Galatia) was 90 miles north. Paul is now in full control and no other man save our Lord has so deeply impressed human history. I. Paul's Opening (vv. 13-15). We are not told why John Mark returned to Jerusalem. He may have objected to the changed leadership; there may have been sickness involved; as a Jew he may have objected to Paul's actions. His subsequent missionary zeal restored him to Paul's favor (II. Tim. 4:11). Departing from Perga (v. 14), perhaps on account of an attack of fever (Gal. 4:13, 14), the party ascended to the higher altitude of the important city of Antioch, the site of which is now marked by extensive and impressive ruins. After finding lodgings they repaired to the synagogue on the Sabbath day. Here they could meet the people and would be given opportunity to speak of Jesus. Paul put himself in the way of opportunity and opportunity to beckoned to him. They did not demand this privilege because they were Christian workers. Their participation in the service and other actions commended them to the respect of the leaders of the synagogue, which was the great democratic forum of the Jewish nation. ii. Paul's Sermon (vv. 16-41). Paul began his remarks, even as Peter did at Pentecost, by quoting the Old Testament and referring to Jewish history, using the same to lead up to his testimony about Jesus. (Matt. 5:17). "It is ours to show wherein Christ fulfilled the law, the obligation resting upon us by reason of his covenant of grace, and the blessings which issue therefrom." This is one of Paul's three recorded missionary sermons (see also Acts 14:15-18; 17:22-31). The last two were to Gentiles only. This is a scriptural discourse. (1) Messiah's people and ancestry (17:23); (2) Messiah's forerunner (24, 25); Messiah rejected (26:29); (4) Messiah risen from the dead (30:37); (5) Jesus the Justifier (28:39); (6) the application, a word of warning (40, 41). There must have been some evidence of restlessness in his audience, hence his sharp warning (41). IM. Paul's Decisions (vv. 42:47). After the separation of Jews from Greek proselytes the latter besought Paul to continue his testimony literally "the Sabbath between," perhaps at the midweek meetings. Questions and discussions were the order in the breaking up of the synagogue service, and as Paul and his company departed they were accompanied by some who had believed (v. 42). Knowing the testing which would follow, Paul and Barnabas did personal work with these, exhorting to steadfastness (John 8: 31, 32; Col. 1:23) in the grace of God (v. 38:39; Rom. 3:24; Eph. 2:8). It is only in grace that any are able to "continue" (Rom. 5:2; Gal. 5:1, 4). It is personal work which gathers a crowd and such was the method of Paul and Barnabas during the intervening week. So well was the work done and so great was the power of their testimony that "almost the whole city" gathered the next Sabbath to "hear the Word of God." Such evident interest in this new aroused the jealousy of the Jews. Years of Jewish proselytizing had never secured such a result as this one address of a doubtful stranger produced. But back of the jealousy was the greater sin of unbelief. To hear the Word of God (II Titus 4:2; I Thess. 2:13) does not necessarily produce obedience and faith (Luke 8:57); not always the greatest number of hearers will produce the greatest number of conversions. To interrupt a speaker is not unknown in synagogues today. The opponents "contradicted and blasphemed," doubtless contending that all who hang on a tree are accursed (Gal. 3:13) and they produced a wild tempest of voices and confusion. Only to attack and to destroy the work of Paul and Barnabas could save these Jewish leaders. Human nature is the same everywhere. Paul and Barnabas thrived upon opposition. We believe they foresaw this development and were prepared for the emergency (v. 46). Because of long training the Jews were best fitted to receive the Gospel. It was no accident that the first apostles were Jews, but it is serious business to reject the Christ, and the history of the Jewish nation since rejecting Jesus has been written in blood and tears. Paul's "Lo we turn" (v. 46) marked the Rubicon of spiritual history. Christianity is to become world wide, not by means of the Jews, but in spite of them. THE ST.

Beautiful Bust and Shoulders are possible if you will wear a scientifically constructed Bien Jolie Brassiere. The dragging weight of an unconfined bust so stretches the supporting muscles that the contour of the figure is spoiled. put the bust back where it belongs, prevent the full bust from having the appearance of fabbiness, eliminate the danger of dragging muscles and confine the flesh of the Shoulder giving a graceful line to the entire upper body. They are the bestest and most serviceable garments, imaginable in styles: Cross Back, Hook Front, Surplice, Bandana, etc. Boned with "Walohn," the rustless bonging-permitting washing without removal.
