STRING BEANS AT BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE PARK BOARD IS ENJOINED A number of Colored people were present in Judge Ferns' Court Wednesday afternoon on the argument on the case of Chas. Fred White et al vs. the Springfield Park Board, E. D. McNeil and James O. Sylvia, which was brought last week to restrain the defendants from interfering with plaintiffs in their enjoyment of the bathing privileges at the Bunn Park Beach. Attorney B. G. Clanton presented the Colored people's side of the case in a masterly manner. He defined the different kinds of rights and distinguished the one here violated as a civil right, although his opponent of the opposite race attempted to confuse the court by asserting it to be a "personal" right. In the light of all the decisions and statutes cited by the complainants, however, this was an absurd contention. The civil rights statute of Illinois defines the right to be accommodated at, "inns," "restaurants," "bath houses," etc., as a civil right, and Atty. Clanton and Charles Fred White had numerous other authorities to support their case. So thorough was Atty. Clanton's presentation of the contentions of his race, represented by the complainants, that Mr. Catron, the Park Board's attorney, was left with hardly a foothold to stand upon. His argument was literally riddled by the hot shot from his Colored adversary. The matter in controversy arose out of the refusal on Thursday, July 27, by E. D. McNeil, one of the concessionaires of the Bunn Park pavilion and bathing beach, to rent bathing suits and dressing rooms to White and several others, or even to allow them to swim in the lake if they furnished their own suits. The suit for injunction was entered to secure their rights. After listening very attentively to the argument on both sides, Judge Ferns said that he would render a decision within a few days, after he had examined the briefs of the two attorneys.—Forum.

ODD FELLOWS ANNUAL SESSION The thirty-fifth annual session of the G. U. O. of O. F. of the Missouri jurisdiction, convened in Hannibal, Mo., August 1 to 4 inclusive with T. B. Watkins, Grand Master, presiding. The session will long be remembered as one of the most harmonious in the history of the order, hardly a harsh word having been spoken during the entire session. The report of the officers showed the order to be in a healthy financial condition and that the lodges had about held their own numerically during the past year. So well pleased were the delegates with the work done by the officers that everyone of them was unanimously re-elected for another term and are as follows: T..B. Watkins, Grand Master, Kansas City, Mo.; J. O. White, Deputy Grand Master, Mexico; Edw. S. Lewis, Grand Secretary, Kansas City; L. F. Ford, Grand Treasurer, St. Louis; C. N. Wilson, Grand Director, Poplar Bluff, E. M. Phenix, M. D., Grand Medical Examiner, Independence; W. C. Hueston, Grand Attorney, Kansas City, Macon, Mo., and Omaha, Neb., had a very spirited contest for the next meeting place, Macon finally winning. Nothing but praise on every hand could be heard for the good people of Hannibal for the manner in which they entertained the Grand Lodge and Hannibal was voted the model convention city by all who attended. Much credit must be given Brother L. P. Clay, chairman of the committee on arrangements, for making this one of the most plenant sessions in our history.

Should Buy Here are four good reasons why you should buy your piano from me: (1.) I sell as cheap as any one in St. Louis. (2.) You benefit me, yourself and your children. You pave the way for future employment of young men and women by helping to develop Negro enterprise. (3.) You get individual attention with courtesy that knows no discrimination. Your wife or daughter does not have to face the humiliation of being overlooked until some white customer has been waited on. (4.) Any broad-minded Colored person, in view of recent un-American prejudices, which have only been halted in the courts, should decide it is wise to keep his money, as near as possible, circulating among his own race.

Page 8 Sex the Key to the Bible Sex the Key to the Bible The World's Three Greatest Books by Sidney C. Tegg, Ph.B. "The Truth About the Bible," about five hundred pages, $3.00. "Why Jesus was the Son of God," a woman, three hundred pages, $2.00. "Sexuality of the Bible," over one hundred and seventy-five pages, $2.00. All cloth-bound. These books are of the sex of the Bible, and show that the Bible is a book of spirit, and that sex is the dividing line between the physical and spiritual worlds. They show that disease, sickness and insanity are within the Bible, and that theological sin and cause of death. They are arrealing the attention of the medical, scientific, philosophical and theological books of the Bible, and 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 rolgo to the great thirteens 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 in the sex education of the Bible, as therein contained, is so daring and his conclusions are so unanswerable, that the human intellect under the same God-Fear ideas, it is the world's greatest book. Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible and his interpretations are no more valuable than the will time the no more. Republics may perish and Empires may decay, but the ideas presented by the author in these books on the Bible will never die." H. H. Hearn wrote, "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 me. He has been given the power of the great good, morally and spiritually, that they will do the ruman race. He has indeed produced a world idea about our home and library in the civilized world. W. A.

IN PREPAREDNESS THE ADMINISTRATION HAS FOLLOWED, NOT LEB. In the demand for reasonable preparedness the Administration has followed, not led. Those who demanded more adequate forces were first described as "nervous and excited." Only about a year and a half ago we were told that the question of preparedness was not a pressing one; that the country had been misinformed. Later, under the pressure of other leadership, this attitude was changed. The Administration, it was said, had "learned something" and it made a belated demand for an increased army. Even then, the demand was not prosecuted consistently and the pressure exerted on Congress with respect to other Administrative measures was notably absent. measures was notably absent. We are told that the defects revealed by the present mobilization are due to the "system." But it was precisely such plain defects that under the constant warnings of recent years, with the whole world intent on military concerns, should have been studied and rectified. The Administration has failed to discharge its responsibilities. Apparently, it is now seeking to meet political exigencies by its naval program. But it has imposed upon the country an incompetent naval administration. —From Mr. Hughea' speech of acceptance. TRUE INWARDNESS OF THE VERA CRUZ INCIDENT. In the Spring of 1914, occurred the capture of Vera Cruz. Men from one of our ships had been arrested at Tampico and had been discharged with an apology. But our Admiral demanded a salute, which was refused. Thereupon the President went to Congress, asking authority to use the armed forces of the United States. Without waiting for the passage of the resolution, Vera Cruz was seized. It appeared that a shipload of ammunition for Huerta was about to enter that port. There was a natural opposition to this invasion and a battle occurred in which nineteen Americans and over a hundred Mexicans were killed. This, of course, was war. Our dead soldiers were praised for dying like heroes in a war of service. Later, we retired from Vera Cruz, giving up this noble warfare. We had not obtained the salute which was demanded. We had not obtained reparation for affronts. The ship with ammunition which could not land at Vera Cruz had, soon landed at another port, and its cargo was delivered to Huerta without interference. Recently the naked truth was admitted by a Cabinet officer. We are now informed that "we did not go to Vera Cruz to force Huerta to salute the flag." We are told that we went there "to show Mexico that we were in earnest in our demand that Huera must go." That is, we seized Vera Cruz to depose Huerta. The question of the salute was a mere pretext—From Mr. Hughes' speech of acceptance. PROMISE TO REDUCE THE COST OF LIVING NOT KEPT. Our opponents promised to reduce the cost of living. This they have failed to do; but they did reduce the opportunities of making a living. Let us not forget the conditions that existed in this country under the new tariff prior to the outbreak of the war. Production had decreased, business was languishing, new enterprises were not undertaken, instead of expansion there was curtailment, and our streets were filled with the unemployed. What ground is there for expecting better conditions when the unhealthy stimulus of the war has spent its force and our industries and working-men are exposed to the competition of an energized Europe? It is plain that we must have protective: upbuilding policies. —From Mr. Hughes' speech of acceptance. WANTS AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF RURAL CREDITS. We propose to promote by every practicable means our agricultural interests, and we include in this program an effective system of rural credits.

A’ stricter ad- herence to the principles enunciated ‘@nd a clearer interpretation of those ‘principles to the church of Jesus Christ ‘would save us from many errors and heartaches, In ‘this rich and populous nation the lesson for consideration to- day 1a most: vital, for it concerns one ‘of the fundamental .principles which underly the progress of mankind as well as the kingdom of God. 4, Cheerful Giving (vv. 1-7). One of ‘the dangers assailing the early Chrie that of division be- tween the Jewish and Gentile bellev- ers, One party suggested that the Gentiles ought to have a closer union with the Jews; of the other hand, cer: tain Gentiles could not see the necessi- ty of the Jewish ceremonial, and in this Paul agreed with them, and there- fore they refused to asstime any un- necessary burden. The great feasts at Jerusalem, were crowded with pll- -grims, both Jews and Jewish Chris- ‘tiens. The pilgrims were often very poor, and fatigue must. have fostered ‘diseases. Here then’ was a ‘place “where a work of ministry to the needy might be done with the money which ‘had been ‘systematicaly gathered ‘through the weekly contibutioas of Christian ‘believers. Note how skill- fully Paul appealed to these Corin- thians.. He recognises thelr forward- ness of mind and their zeal (vv. 1 and 2, Am.-R.). Most delicately does he compliment them upon thelr work, for, said be, “I glory in your behalf.” ‘He desired thelr collections to be a matter of bounty, and not-of covetous ness or extortton, Paul's principle of string I4 Gat if shell be 8 matter of free and beneficent 1 not a matter ep srelegacaa apt pabar legeoed He says that they who sow sparingly IL, ‘The Results of Giving (vv. 8-15), ‘The law of reaping according to: the Se ee ee re tion to the quality and quantity seed sown f also to be supplemented by the Inw ofthe necessity of sys- “tematic giving {8ee.I Gor. 16:2). One of the sweetest and moft cheerful and ‘aspining paomises.of the. Bible is found fm verge8 of this section, “God is able.” He is able to make all grace abouns, and he does, this “to the ‘bountiful. giter.”. Nothing. more surely Umits the measure of grace {hat we receive than our penurions, -nig- gardly giving (Phil. 4:19 and eontext). ‘This giving of grace is “in order that @ always having all sufficiency in all Buses ‘may abound unto every goed “work.” God's abundant grace_is be- ‘stowed upon us that wé may work for others, and lve abounding, sufficient Hives In everything. How poor indeed our lives must appear whore measured by the standard of this veme. Literal- ly this te “hilarious giving.” God loves the full-sogled, hilarious giver who gives time and money. Such giving ts lke-unto God's giving, who gave his ‘only begotten son. If we sow as God provides, he will multiply the seed for sowing and increase the fruits of our righteousness. If we do-hot sow, he ‘will cease to supply. ; Uberality ‘will work through us to'pthers and thanksgiving to God on the'part of those who receive (v. 11, R. V.). Buch giving abounds to his honor and glory through the many thanks- givings Which it will occasion (Heb. 13:15). ‘The more we give, the more God will inorease our power to give, and in this way we will be eariched in everything unto all liberality (Prov. 11:2425), The church. in Jerusalem, ‘when the saints of-Corinth had given proof by the ministration to their need, would giority God for the obedience of the saints in €orinth and thetr contes- sion of the gospel of Christ, and also for the liberality of thelr contribution unto them (v. 13, R. V.). They would Tepuy thelr generosity with prayer (v. 14, R.-V.) and they would long after them by reason of the grace of God which was in them. : Paul's words about our giving with thanksgiving to God for his unspeak- able gift—(See Ch. 8:9) the unspeak- able gift of God, Jesus Christ (Joha 8:8; Rom. 8:32)—1s an exhortation to us. Nothing should-so move us to give'to others as the thought of what God has given of his very best and dearest for us, ‘The Sunday school, as the training school of the church, ought to give in- struction not alone in salvation truth and life teaching, but also in systematic giving.
