DENTIST IS SUED FOR $7,000 DAMAGES Mrs. Pearl Johnson Asks This Amount in Suit Filed Against Dr. M. C. Hutchinson and His Wife, Alleging That the Defendant Unlawfully Retained and Assaulted Her In the Dentist's Office May 9. Tried to Intimidate Argus Editor. New Policy Improves B.W. Theatre Shows VOL. V. NO. 7 DENTIST Mrs. Pearl Johnson As Filed Against Dr His Wife, Allegin Unlawfully Retain In the Dentist's O Intimidate Argus As a result of being forcibly detained in the office of Dr. M. C. Hutchinson, dentist (white) 2361a Market street, on May 9th, Mrs. Pearl Johnson, 3136 Pine street, has filed suit against the dentist and his wife for seven thousand dollars. In her petition, which was filed by Attorney Geo. L. Vaughn, Mrs. Johnson, alleges that on the 9th day of May, she went to the office of Dr. Hutchinson to have a tooth extracted while under the influence of gas, for which she was to pay the dentist $1.75. She claims that the dentist failed to perform the services agreed to, but demanded the money. When she refused to pay him, he and his wife threatened her, and by means of force barred the door and hold her, and prevented her frogging his office until she was resentful to the police. She also states that Hutchinson assaulted her, called her vile names, and tried to choke her, which caused her great humiliation. New Policy B. W. The The Booker Washington Theatre has shown an improvement during the past few weeks that well deserves special mention. Some time ago Mr. Turpin announced that on account of the scarcity of real high class colored acts, he would play a mixed bill, drawing from white time on the big circuits. The result has been, not only an opportunity to see real novelties, but has improved the colored acts, as well. Only the best are now booked and a return engagement means a new act. Among the white acts that have made tremondous hits are the Mellvilles, whose electrical posing was a classic novelty; the troupe of trained lions that thrilled the audiences to fevered excitement and the performing bear, on last week's bill, which kept the house in a spasm of pandimonium. Next week another big act, Jack Morrissey and Company, direct from the Grand Theatre, is booked, and the balance of the program is made up of real meritorious colored acts. Added to these Mr. Turpin's title The Redemption The "Redemption," which will be rendered at Union Memorial Church, Lefflingwell Ave., and Pine street, June 7th, promises to be one of the rarest and most beautiful musical treats of the season. The "Redemption" is an oratorio or story of the Christ told in song. It is taken from the Bible narrative, which relates to the promise, the condemnation, the crucifixion, the resurrection and the scenes which immediately follow this great historical event upon which all Christianity is based. This one of Gounod's works is considered the best of all modern sacred music. The rhythmic precision, the purity of tonal beauty, the simplicity of technique, and the charming melody which characterizes his works make him a favorite among lovers of music for music's sake. One does not need to be a critic of music to enjoy this oratorio. One has only to listen to catch the beauty in its minutest detail to see the picture in the sublimity of its grandure. The other two things necessary to a complete enjoyment of an oratorio, are knowledge of the subject matter and an efficient rendition of the same. The author in selecting the Christ as a text furnished the first requisite for every one knows in ageneal way the heart touching story of the Christ, and the management in selecting Prof. Gerald J. Tyler as conductor furnished the other requisite. Anything that might be said about Prof. Tyler's ability in this line of work would be superfluous. Those who have heard his choruses and have seen his masterly handling of them know his ability. To others it might be said in passing that as an interpreter and performer of music and as a trainer of the voice his equal has not been seen in these parts and his reputation concerning the matter referred to, is nationwide. The chorus of between 40 and 50 voices is being trained by him and is so thoroughly drilled as to be The St. Louis Argus The readers of the Argus will remember that an account of this case was reported in its issue of May 12. The following day Dr. Hutchinson came to the Argus office and warned the editor not to allow his name to appear in the Argus again in connection with this "mess" saying that the Argus had injured its circulation among the "better" class of Colored people as he had more customers among the Negroes than the Argus had circulation. He also stated that had he known that a reporter for the Argus was in company with the police when they rescued Mrs. Johnson, he would have had his Colored porter to "kick" him down stairs. The editor told Hutchinson that the affair had become public and he had only reported it as a matter of news, and that he was not to be blamed for the magnitude of the case, neither for the notoriety. ing on the cream of the photo-play serials. The first episode of "The Secret of the Submarine," shown last Monday, proved such a sensation that Mr. Turpin has been compelled by popular deman' to repeat it and it will be shown again Saturday night. The second episode will be shown as promised next Monday. Another big serial, "The Social Pirates," will start Wednesday, June 7. This is a clever series of high class domestic complications. Each episode of two reels is a complete story and reveals a realistic experience of two shrewd society women who expose the intrigues of villainous impositions. It is not a "blood and thunder" series, but a depiction of life's real drama, a character study of modern human nature. With up-to-date vaudeville and these high class pictures, Mr. Turpin has placed the Booker Washington in rank with the best theatres in the country and it is pleasing to note that the patrons are appreciating the improvement. A special matinee will be given Decoration Day. able to do full justice to this magnificent composition of music so that not one measure of its esthetic melody will be lost to the ears or one trace of its picture to the mental eye.

Attorney Homer G. Phillips presided and E. Staten was secretary. Mr. Phillips in an address took occasion to severely criticise the members of the city committee on the methods used in selecting "your candidate" without consulting you. "It is time for you to think for yourselves and support the man that you think is the best fitted for the place," said the speaker. He then told of the meeting at Sedalia, where the Negroes started the Lamm movement and said that the Negroes, not only in St. Louis, but throughout the state would support Judge Lamm for Governor. The meetings will be held at Pythian Hall every Tuesday night. The public is invited. PORO EXECUTIVE FORCE VISITS LOUISVILLE Special to the Argus. Louisville, Ky.—Mrs. A. M.

E. Watkins, Director of Amusements DR. B. G. SHAW RETURNS TO CITY Tells of Work of the A. M. E. Zion General Conference at Louisville. Receives Gold Medal for Meritorious Service. Warmly Received by Members of Church Tuesday Night. Bishop Kyle, Prof. Martin, Educational Secretary, and Rev. T. W. Wallace, Editor of "Western Star of Zion," New Officers to Reside in St. Louis. On his return from the 25th quadrennial session of the A. M. E. Zion Church, which has just closed at Louisville, Ky., the minister appeared somewhat tired and fatigued, and said that it was work from the beginning to the end, and then they did not finish their work. He stated he was well pleased at the work of the conference and especially with the election of Dr. W. H. Goler, as financial secretary. Gold Medal The great work that has been done by Dr. Shaw at the Metropolitan Church of this city, was made a special subject at the conference, and in recognition of the valuable service rendered the church connection he was awarded a beautiful solid gold socket and chain by the conference. Two bishops were retired during the session, namely: Bishop Hood and Bishop Harris, both of whom were very old. Four new bishops were elected: Dr. L. W. Kyles, Dr. R. B. Bruce, Dr. W. L. Lee and Dr. George G. Clement. Noted Churchmen Make St. Louis Their Home Upon his election as bishop, Dr. Kyle chose St. Louis for his future home. Prof. J. W. Martin educational secretary, and Rev. T. W. Wallace, editor of "Western Star of Zion," also chose St. Louis for their home. When asked about his candidacy for Financial Secretary, Dr. Shaw stated that his friends used his name, and gave him a large number of votes, but he could not but be true to his last words to his friends, both white and black, of this city as well as to his congregation, that he would not leave his work here. He referred the reporter to an article which appeared in the St. Louis Republic May 2, as to his position: WILL REFUSE $5.000 POST TO RETURN TO ST. LOUIS CHURCH Rev. B. G. Shaw, Pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Congregation, Has Successful Record Rev. B. G. Shaw, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, at Lucas and Garrison Avenues, will leave tonight for Louisville, Ky., to attend the General Conference, accompanied by a delegation of 25 from St. Louis and 75 from California, Kansas and Arkansas. Rev. B. G. Shaw, who has been pastor of Metropolitan Church for the last six years, was slated for promotion at the coming conference at Louisville to general financial secretary, which pays a salary of $5,000 a year. He decided last night to sacrifice his personal ambition in response to the unanimous appeal of his congregation to return to the pastorate of Metropolitan Church, which has had a most phenomenal growth during his leadership. Growth Has Been Rapid OXFORD COLLEGE BREAKS RECORD Six Nights in Harris' Drug Store a Big Success. Similar Demonstration Awarded Highest Honors in Chicago. Many local people who witnessed the scientific demonstration made by Mr. W. L. Majors and his assistants of the Oxford College, were without a doubt fully convinced that there is considerable merit in the preparations and treatments of the Oxford system, and that hair culture has been really developed along scientific principles. Majors' Oxford College showed by these demonstrations just what has been achieved within the 21 months in business and they have undoubtedly made more progress than any other similar concern. This college has simple laboratory facilities and manufactures more than seventeen different preparations which are guaranteed under the Pure Food and Drug Act. Boxes used are also made by the concern and a large number of graduates have been AMAGES SHAW RNS TO CITY ion General Conference at Louisville Meritorious Service. Warmly Re- arch Tuesday Night. Educational Secretary, and Rev. T. W. Western Star of Zion," New Beside in St. Louis. JOHN H. HARRIS Six years ago Metropolitan Church, with a membership of 800 communicants, occupied the humble edifice at 2625 Morgan Street, valued at $20,000, which was encumbered with a mortgage of $12,000. By careful management the debt has been paid off and the old church remodeled at a cost of $5,000. The congregation grew so rapidly that larger quarters were needed. A year ago Rev. Mr. Shaw purchased the present site, at Lucas and Garrison avenues, formerly occupied by Union M. E. Church, where the Negro congregation, now 2,000, has established a social settlement, and has in operation a day nursery, kindergarten, cooking school, sewing school, gymnasium and swimming pool. The community work of Rev. Mr. Shaw won the commendation of Mayor Kiel and the police authorities, and many wealthy and prominent white residents in the West End joined the Negro friends in petitioning for his return to the St. Louis pastorate. Bishop Coming to St. Louis The General Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church has a membership of more than 600,000. The Louisville Meeting will be presided over by Bishop Alexander Walters, of New York and seven other Bishops, including Bishop G. W. Blackwell, of Philadelphia, who recently decided to make his residence in St. Louis. It is expected that the present conference will appropriate $5,000 for the purchase, of an episcopal residence here. Among the delegates who will accompany Rev. Mr. Shaw are: Rev. S. D. Davia, F. E.; Rev. Thomas W. Wallace, William H. Fields, Thomas J. Brewer, Mrs. S. D. Davis, Mrs. B. G. Shaw and Mrs. Lucy Bledsoe. turned out, who are now making a success in many sections of the country. Mr. Majors was assisted by Mr. Ernest L. Harris, who is one of our best and most prominent druggists in the city. This demonstration was held at one of Mr. Harris' drug stores, which stores are considered to be among the largest and finest of our race. The two concerns were also shown many courtesies by the local business and professional men who witnessed these demonstrations and declared them to be something out of the ordinary. Both businesses deserve much credit. There were many ladies who subscribed to the course. The following names are of Oxford agents who assisted in making this a big success: Mrs. Irene Lewis, East St. Louis, Ill.; Mrs. Ethel Cooper, Mrs. Lillian Almond, Amelia Jones, Leona Jackson Reed, Miss Ellie Lindsey, Mrs. Annabell Spann, Mrs. Bertha Marion. Mrs. Ruth O. Davis, of Ardmore, Okla., has just left the city to open a branch office of the Oxford System at Rome, Ga. Mr. Majors, president, wishes to thank the public kindly for courtesies extended. Read the St. Louis Argus and keep informed. --- WILL DO THE REST Pore College Co. 3106 M. C.

"The Truth About the Bible," about five, hundred pages, $3.00. "Why Jesus Was a Man and Not a Woman, three books 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 that the Bible is a book of the physical and viding line between the physical and spiritual worlds. They show that disease, sickness and insanity are within the medical sin and cause of death. They are arresting the attention of the medical, scientific, philosophical and theological 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. Gunnell, of the United States. His 'sex interpretation of the Bible, as intertained contain, is so daring and his conclusions are so unwaverable that he underlines the ideas presented. For ideas, it is the world's greatest book. Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible and his writings under the ideas presented, until time shall be no more. Republics may perish and Empires may decay, but the ideas presented by the author in their books on the Bible will never die." - Prof. Sidney Harris, A.M. "Mr. Tapp's works on the Bible will do more to empty our jails, insane institutions and hospitals than any other world, in our opinion, to say nothing of the great good, morally and spiritually, that they will do the ruman race." - Prof. Sidney Harris, A.M. that should be in every home and library in the civilized world.

Texas, which has heretofore begged to be permitted to whip Mexico alone, now fails in the pinch. Her militia are running away, hiding from Uncle Sam, who has called on her to help protect her border line. Together with Arizona and New Mexico she heeds not the call; not a single organization has been mustered in. More than a hundred men of the Second Texas National Guards have flatly refused to respond. How different was the response to the call to lynch, burn at the stake, a defenseless Negro. Fifteen thousand brave murderers to one helplessly bound victim. Texas did herself proudly that day. She demonstrated her weakness, her cowardice, her savagery, but when the President called upon her to send her men out to defend the flag, to face the enemy, man for man, it was another tale to tell. Yet the truly brave colored soldiers are marching onward, seeking and destroying the enemy who have terrorized these same brutal cowards. These Negroes are saving Texas only to be rewarded with such disgraceful and inhuman acts as occurred in Waco a few days ago. As to these traitors they are threatened with court martial, but the old "States' Right" idea is still so dominant with the present Democratic administration that it will be doubtful if the old-time Demoerat will submit to a subversion of Democratic principles in order to punish such treasonable derelection of duty. What does this wild "Preparedness" cry mean? Is it the hyphenated citizen that is refusing to uphold the American flag, or is this lack of loyalty only the aftermath of the Civil War and a resurrection of that old abominable states' rights doctrine that over half a century ago cost us so many lives and so much money? The Dick National Guard law places the state militia as much under the command of the President as is the regular army. He is the commander of both. But it is not authority, but laxity of discipline and the free sway given racial prejudices which is our American point of weakness in the army, in the courts and in the general administration of affairs. The militia of the Southwestern states would respond quickly enough against Negro uprising, or to squech any effort to resist a mob that was burning a Negro alive. It would have been easy to have gotten five thousand Texas National Guards to Waco before sunrise to suppress or slaughter the whole Negro population had there been any indications that the Negroes would rise to prevent the burning of the Negro boy at the stake the other day. The United States has spent tens of thousands of dollars to equip the National Guards of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, and these equipments and ammunition can be turned upon loyal citizens more quickly and more eagerly than upon foreign invaders, despoilers and assassins. The refusal of the National Guards to obey the command of the President is mutiny and insubordination and need be punished or outright treason will spring from its seed. All this comes from nurturing the mob. The mob that tramples down the law will trample down the flag. Wherever the mob dominates, treason will flourish. If you can't depend upon the citizenry of a state to defend the law, you can't depend upon them to defend the flag. One is the emblem of the other. Texas is a state of mobs, and it cannot be depended upon as a state of patriots, because the habit of disregarding the law easily begets the habit of turning down any authority or emblem of national majesty. The man that tears the Constitution into tatters strikes at the national heart, and you cannot depend upon him when the nation needs liberty-loving patriots to defend its honor. A.M.E. CONFEFNCE Special to the Argus. Philadelphia, Pa.—Two bishops were elected at fifteenth day session of the twenty-fifth quadrennial conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, held in this city. Balloting began in the morning and consumed the entire day. Thirty aspirants for Episcopal honors entered the race, which was exciting throughout. The bishops-elect are Rev. W. W. Beckett, of Charleston, S. C., and Rev. I. N. Ross, of Baltimore, Md. Three ballots were necessary to elect the bishops. Rev. William A. Fountain, of Atlanta; Ga. was leading at the end of the first ballot, with 169 votes, closely followed by Dr. Ross, with 164; necessary for choice, 306. At the end of the second ballot the results showed that Dr. Fountain had began to slip and that Dr. Ross, together with Dr. Beckett, had begun to gain strength. Dr. William D. Johnson, an uninduced candidate, cut in on Fountain on the third ballot and beat the indorsed candidate in a grand free-for-all, but was not able to pull sufficient votes to win. The final count was: Beckett, 377; Ross, 312; Fountain, 173; Johnson, 260. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks of St. Louis.

SCOTT, 2933 Pine. 3119 Laclede Ave. today I am receiving a comfortable salary. This is true in hundreds of cases. The boys who have worked here have received much encouragement from their foremen. I especially mention Mr. Fruin and Mr. Crawford, who seem very much interested in our welfare. Colored men of sober and industrious habits can always find employment at this foundry. Mr. Hayes has resigned as superintendent and is succeeded by Mr. Perry. Visitors are welcome at the plant, and I wish especially the business men of my race to visit this plant to see what we are doing. Salary of $7000 a Year For Two Colored Electricians We quote below from a speech delivered by Jas. A. Emery, general counsel for the National Council for Industrial Defense, before the Citizens Industrial Association of St. Louis. He alludes to assemblage of the alumni of the Electric Company of boston and praises two Colored members as among the ablest mechanics. It is good reading and here it is: "Three weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending a dinner of the apprentice alumni of the General Electric Company in Boston, where 350 men between the ages of 23 or 24 and 35, who were the graduates of the apprentice schools of the General Electric Company, met to exchange experiences. About twenty-six per cent of them were still employed by the General Electric Company in their plants and the rest of them were scattered all over the country. There wasn't a man there, from all I could learn, who was earning less than one hundred and seventy-five or one hundred and eighty dollars a month, and some of them were earning five, six and seven thousand dollars a year. They were trained men, not merely trained electricians; they were foundrymen, machinists, as well as electrical workers in their departments and they were the men that were taking the responsible positions as foremen as assistant superintendents and superintendents, the men who are to lead, direct and guide the great industries of this country. They gave me one of the most remarkable exhibitions of real democracy in industry that I have ever seen. Among those six hundred men were two mulattos that have received their training at the General Electric Company and there was a considerable amount of feeling with the introduction of mulattos among white men. But Mr. Alexander insisted that as these men showed remarkable capacity, they should have a chance and they got it. They are two brothers and they are now occupying very responsible positions. One, I was told, was earning thirty-eight hundred a year and the other about thirty-two hundred or better; both men are under thirty and when they organized this alumni association three years ago, these three hundred young men elected their officers on the sole ground of ability and merit and they elected one of these mulattos as their President. These young men deliberately selected a Colored leader because they thought he was the best man in point of ability and training in their ranks, and I thought that was a very remarkable training in democracy." NOTICE We, the undersigned, heeding the call of the National Committee of the Emancipation Proclamation of Tuesday, May 16th, hereby make a further request of the churches and societies of the city of St. Louis, that you the officers and members of the churches and societies see to it that three of your members meet us in a convention on Tuesday, May 30, June 6 and 13, 1916, at 2923 Morgan street, at 10 a.m. The door is open for all who will attend, and will stand open until June 13, at which time no one can enter after the 14th.

It will be noted with more than ordinary interest, his three years' service as the head of the Legal Aid Society of the St. Louis Bar Association and his year's service as the head of the Legal Aid Bureau of St. Louis, of which he is by life appointment chief attorney, having been permanently appointed by the Director of Public Welfare after having made the highest grade in an efficiency test with an average of 99.5 per cent. During his four years public service as head of the Legal Aid work in St. Louis he has represented over 1,500 Colored people, extending to them his helping hand and like an angel of mercy he has taken the great big bagoon called "the law," heretofore looked upon by many as a terrible something to be used by the rich and feared by the poor, and has corralled and turned it into a protecting parent for the poor and the friendless. "Justice," says Mr. Calboun, "is the great interest of man on earth and an easy path to the acquisition of justice by the poor as well as the rich is indispensable to the development of our republic." "I am glad and proud," says Mr. Calhoun, in speaking of his work, "to have been the champion of the poor people. I have tried to show everyone that it does not pay to be mean. For without regard to the wealth or the poverty of the individual, without regard to race, to creed or to social standing the obligation rests upon us all to be fair to each other in all we do and be happier for our presence among each other." Mr. Calhoun is a native St. Louisan. He was born here and received his training at the public schools, and St. Louis high school and Washington University. He is a good lawyer and what is better, a splendid, good-natured gentleman and he does not hesitate to solicit your support in behalf of his candidacy. FISH LINES OF GREAT LENGTH Many of Those Employed in Fishing for Halibut Declared to Be Sixty Miles Long. The most of the halibut are caught with the hook and line. The fishing, however, has nothing gamy or sporting about it. The lines are dropped down into the sea in such a way that the baited hooks rest on the bed of the ocean. The lines are of great length. Some of them are 60 miles long; when loaded with fish it takes the steam engine on the vessel the better part of a day to wind them up. They are divided into sections, each section having a float or buoy that rests on the surface, and is marked by a flag in the daytime and at night by a light. The line lies right on the bed of the sea. Attached to it are hundreds of hooks and each hook is baited. The halibut swallows the bait and is caught on the hook and held there until the line is drawn up. These fish always feed on or close to the bed of the ocean—Christian Herald. Wedding "Fans." There are some people who attend weddings with just as much enthusiasm as a baseball or tennis fan, whether they are invited or not, and seemingly enjoy the excitement of the moment and the attendant fuss and feathers. There are said to be funeral fans, too; people who attend funerals merely out of morbid curiosity. Of course, the wedding fans are most in evidence at the big town weddings, which mark the alliance between two prominent and wealthy families, or the marriage of an American heftress to a penniless duke. They are mostly women, and they attend regularly all of the smart weddings. If they cannot edge their way past the sexion who takes the invitation cards, they congregate around the street awning, and are frequently of such number as to interfere with the street pedestrians. The wedding fan, in fact, has become a highly objectionable feature at all of the large churches in the social zone, especially on Fifth avenue, and extra precautions are strenuously observed in order to keep them out of the church—New York Times. By REV. J. H. RALSTON Secretary of Correspondence Department, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT—Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.—Luke 8:3. There is no indication that when Peter used those words to the Lord at the sea of Gallilee, he had committed any particular sin for which he was especially repentant. This suggests the inquiry as to whether we should distinguish between sin and sins. [Name] In the popular conception a sin is any violation of God's law; several such violations would be called sins. When we are studying man as a sinner before God, should we have in mind individual sins, or something back of them that we may call sin? Reform Not Sufficient. This inquiry is quite important from the fact that we hear a great deal about the sins of men, and little about their sin. The pastor or evangelist very frequently urges men to get right with God, and in doing so he often cries: "Quit your meanness;" "Get on the water wagon;" "Stay at home of nights;" "Stop your gossiping," etc. The result of such exhortation is in very many cases prompt obedience to the exhortation of the preacher and the life is greatly improved. What has taken place? Practically nothing more than reform, and there is no guaranty that it will be permanent. But are these individual transgressions of law all that is in the mind of the Spirit, speaking in the Bible? In many places in the word of God sin is spoken of in such connection that the individual transgression can hardly be in mind. "In sin did my mother conceive me;" "God be merciful to me a sinner;" "There is a sin (the particle is not in the original) not unto death;" "I am a sinful man, O Lord;" "O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death." In none of these, and many more might be cited, is there any reference to particular sins; the clear intimation is that there is something back of the individual sin: a state, or condition, or tendency that is properly called sin. Sinning the Law of Life. When it is said "The soul that sinneth it shall die." we are not to understand that a single sin is in mind, any more than when we consider the words "He that is born of God sinneth not." In the latter case it is not a question of a man committing some particular sin, as may be easily learned from an intelligent study of the original language. In the American Revised Version that text is translated "Doeth not sin." That is an approach to the correct idea, but a better expression would be "Does not practice sin." That is, sin is not the rule of the man's life. "The soul that sinneth it shall die," does not mean that a man who commits a single sin, or indeed many of them, necessarily dies on that account, although he will suffer penalty, but it means that the man whose law of life is sinning, will die. Paul doubtless had sins which troubled him, but he saw something back of those particular sins and cried out "Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" We can hardly think of using extravagant language in that connection if he had only in mind relief from some particular transgression; but if he saw that his whole nature was changed, he could very reasonably cry out "I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord." As long as man only has his eye on his individual transgressions and thinks of freeing himself from their evil effects, he is only getting the merest part of the blessing of salvation through Jesus Christ. His prayer for pardon is good, but would be much better if he could pray "Create in me a clean heart, O God." He is then getting at the root of the matter for he readily sees that if the fountain is pure the stream will be pure. A New Heart Needed. Regeneration is fairly well presented by both ministers and evangelists, but it needs more emphasis than it is receiving, and if a proper distinction could be made between sin and sins, there would be more thought of the need of the new heart and there, would be no satisfaction nor rest until that is secured. God is as able to make the fountain of life pure as to pardon the individual sins. While a pure life is pleasing to him, it is not that which he asks man to give to him, rather his heart, "Son, give me thine heart." One of the sweetest promises that we have in the Bible, is in the Old Testament and has an application here: "A new heart also will I give thee and a new spirit will I put within thee; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and I will give you a heart of flesh." God is most honored as we seek for the widest and the deepest blessings that the plan of redemption through Jesus Christ offers. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) (Copyright, 1916, Western Newman Union.) LESSON FOR MAY 28 THE COUNCIL AT JERUSALEM. LESSON TEXT—Acts 15:1-35. GOLDEN TEXT—For freedom did Christ set us free.—Gal. 5:1. The events of this lesson are outstanding in Christian history. Paul's appeal to the Gentiles and the large number of them who accepted the Gospel made most acute the question, "Must Gentile believers become Jewish proselytes upon accepting the Christian faith and be governed by Jewish law and customs?" It would be exceedingly interesting to divide a class and let them debate this controversy stated as follows: "Resolved, That the Mosaic law should not have been imposed upon Gentile Christians." The date of this council was A. D. 50 or 51, and the scene is laid first in Antioch of Syria and then in Jerusalem. I. A Division of Opinion (vv. 1-6) Luke does not name those who agitated and precipitated this controversy, but clearly indicates how the Holy Spirit dealt with the situation. "Is a man justified by faith, or by the works of the law?" is a similar question with modern application. The Holy Spirit, to avoid a rupture in the yet weak church, directs that Paul, Barnabas, Titus (Gal. 2:1) and "certain others" who are not named, should carry the question to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem. Those to whom they went were "of reputation" (Gal. 2:2), the "pillars" Gal. 2:9) and they received the delegation from Antioch in public (15:4), also heard Paul in private (Gal. 2:2). II. The Argument. (vv. 6-18). It will not do to be harsh in condemning Paul's accusers. The Pharisees felt deeply their position. As God's chosen people they were marked by circumcision. Jesus, the promised Messiah, was a Jew. Social, religious, and racial differences are hard to reconcile in one church today. But little was asked of the Gentiles in contrast with all they received. Entrance to church membership would not be too easy if circumcision were imposed as a test of their sincerity. Peter brought forward the plea before the council that God had given the Holy Spirit to the uncircumcised Christians, "and put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith" (vv. 8, 9). God bears the same witness today to those who refuse to be bound by Mosaic traditions as regards the seventh day and other such details. Paul's argument was that God had wrought signs and wonders among the Gentiles and thus set his seal upon his preaching of salvation as apart from legalistic works (v. 12). Read in this connection Gal. 2:16, Titus 3:20, 8:3, 10:4, and Phil. 3:9. The apostle James presented the third argument in connection with the verdict he pronounced. It was that it is according to Old Testament Scripture that God will take a people for his name from among the uncircumcized Gentiles as well as from among the law-keeping Jews. (vs. 13-17). With Paul this was a vital question, and we can at least imagine his feelings as he puts forth a life-and-death struggle for the truth. As Peter reminded the people of the occasion when "the Holy Spirit came upon Cornelius and his household" he caused them to keep silence. III. A Wise Decision (vv. 19-29). It was James the Just, brother of our Lord, the writer of the epistle and the bishop overseer of the church at Jerusalem, who rendered the decision. In his argument (vs. 13-18) he saw in these Gentile converts reported by Barnabas and Saul a fulfillment of the prophecy of Amos, and to use the language of today he "made a motion," vis. that these Gentiles be not disturbed except in such matters as would tend to more fully separate them from the heathen idolatry they had just left, (a) "Pollution of idols," i.e., flesh offered in the sacrifices (b) "from fornication," the immorality connected with the pagan worship of Aphrodite and Cybele which actually consecrated vice, and (c) "from things strangled," for the heathen did not, as the Jews did, look upon the blood as life, the seat of the soul. The church readily agreed to this motion and took such precautions as were needed that no misrepresentations of their decision be carried back to Antioch. This consisted of a spiritled choice of messengers and in a written statement of their decision (vs. 22, 23). IV. The Result in Antioch (vv. 30-35). Great joy greeted the conclusion of this question. It produced pleasant harmony in place of discord and in place of the irksome bondage of the law it gave the joyous, liberty of the Gospel. Jewish legalism gave way to Christian liberty. Judas and Silias, Spirit-filled, gave much profitable exhortation and instruction. Silias after reporting to the Jerusalem church (v. 32) seems to have returned to his new-found friends (v. 34) and later became, along with Paul, a missionary (v. 40). Thus the evil Paul's enemies thought to accomplish worked out to the good of all (Rom. 8:33). THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS Church Church Directory St. James A. M. E.

The female member has a good voice. Their line of talks is interesting, especially their burlesque pathos. Winn & Nugent, the dancers, have a changed act, that gives Mr. Winn a chance to display considerable comedy. Their dancing is their main feature and is roundly applauded. Clarence Powell, the well-known minstrel man, stars in rich and humorous monologue and a couple of song numbers. His geographical song is a tremendous hit. Stamper & Jones close the show with excellent dancing, jingling song numbers and character imitations. They receive generous applause and close strong.
