FOUR MORE BIG NIGHTS AT THE COLISEUM Real Artistic Performers Seen During the Past Week—Bishop Kyle Speaks at 3 P. M. Sunday—Mme. Patti Brown Will Sing Her Farewell Solo Sunday Night—Fisk Jubilee Singers In Last Performance Monday—Home Folks Celebration Tuesday—Crowds Grow Larger and Attractions Bigger as Pageant and Tableaux Progresses. Only a few more days are left in which you may attend the grand pageant and tableaux at the Coliseum. During the past week the public has seen the best entertainments ever witnessed in St. Louis. The statement given out last week by the manager that some of the best talent of the race would take part, was no "idle tale." Those who are in a position to know say that the rendition of Julius Caesar, by Richard B. Harrison, supported by a local cast, was the best ever seen in St. Louis. Music was furnished by local No. 44 A. F. M., directed by Prof. Austin, director of the Metropolitan Choir. Other prominent characters to appear on the program were the Fisk Jubilee singers, Mme. Anita Patti Brown, and Mme. Antoinette Smythe, all of whom played their parts well. Special mention: Mme. Patti Brown entertained her audience in the most pleasing manner at each appearance. Saturday afternoon matinee, Sunday afternoon Bishop Kyle will preach, Jubilee Singers will sing. Admission free. Sunday night, Mme. Patti Brown will make her farewell appearance. A large crowd is expected to hear her Monday night, Mme. Smythe and the Jubilee Singers will make their farewell bow. Tuesday night the last. This will be Buy Your Brooms and Mops From the Missouri Association for the Blind. Insist on Your Grocer Keeping Them. Make This a Practice. The Missouri Association for the Blind is doing a very commendable work for the unfortunate blind in our city. A visit to their factory will convince anyone of the good work that is being done by this association. They have a broom and mop factory at 3733 Cass Avenue, where they employ both white and Colored in making mops and brooms. It is very interesting to see how enthusiastic these men are at their work. These men are anxious to work; they are glad to work; their mops and brooms are just as good as any you may see on the market. How You Can Help You can help these men by buying their brooms and mops at your grocery store or phone direct to their factory. They sell wholesale and retail. Insist on having their goods when you are ready to buy your next broom. The more the demand, the more men can be employed. The men receive a salary and are taught the trade. The Colored men have a foreman, Mr. A. B. Jackson, 3037 Pine Street, and while he is blind, he can inspect the mops and detect any defect quicker than a man with two good eyes, who is not trained. Their work is good. Call for their brooms and mops. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC To whom it may concern; I hereby make this statement for the benefit of my many friends who have been misled by "evil doers" who are circulating erroneous reports that I am married, with a hope of killing my influence with certain individuals. Take notice, I am not married, neither have I a family to support. (Signed) Jesse J. Johnson. LEGNARD AVENUE BAPTIST Last Sunday was a big day at Leonard. It was a financial communication breaker, and we enjoyed a good spiritual communion service. On last Friday night the regular monthly business meeting was one of the best in the history of the church. We are glad to say the B. Y. P. U.. is improving. The president, Mr. Sexton, desires a large attendance and he kindly invites you to come and help to make the meetings a success, and you will be greatly benefited by taking the course of Bible study. We are forced to call attention to our Big Rally. We are doing nicely and we are looking for some help from our friends. Rev. Dunavant spent two days on the lake fishing and reports a delightful time. The St. Louis Argus MME. ANITA PATTI BROWN Who is pleasing her audiences at Coliseum this week.

NEW COLORED BUSINESS FIRM The Commonwealth Mercantile & Investment Company Announces Opening, Thursday, September 14, at Goode and North Market. The Commonwealth Mercantile & Investment Company, a co-operative society composed of more than two hundred shareholders and representing as many families, will open its first store for business on Thursday, September 14, corner of North Market and Goode Ave., with a complete stock of groceries, fresh meats and produce. The public is cordially invited to be present for the purpose of inspecting the stock and sharing the hospitalities of the company. Refreshments will be served to all. There will be no derries on the opening day, but orders may be given to be delivered on the r following. The company will be ill-equipped with auto-deliveries and will be able to accommodate its patrons, however small their orders, any-where within the city. The doors of store will be open from 9 a. m. until p. m. This organization is the result of a loving conviction on the part of a at number of our people of the city it we as a race are unduly backward in the business field. Negro grocery stores even in almost exclusively Colored districts are conspicuous by theirience, and in similar lines of business enterprises, such as clothing, shoe and other stores, we have scarcely attached the field. Last spring, the local inch of the Negro Business League, in one of its publications, stated that the Colored people of the city spent more than $3,000,000 annually and that the per cent spent with Negro enterprises was so small as to be negligible. The rapidity of the growth of the organization from less than a dozen members nine months ago, to more than two hundred at present and the number increasing daily is unmistakable evidence that we are awakening to our vast opportunities. This organization proposes to remedy this condition and through a series of articles which will appear in this paper each week its program will be outlined. Officer: John Hollman, president; H. M.

Bonita Cafe Notes Bonita Cafe Notes Growing More and More Popular With St. Louis' Choice Society The Bonita Cafe and ice cream parlor, which recently opened at the corner of Sarah and Fairfax Ave., is rapidly reaching St. Louis' choice society. Its unusual popularity is indicated by the number of theater and motor parties. Notable among which were the following: Mr. Robert. Gardner and party. "Hawkshaw." "Mose, the Shoe Man" and party. Messrs. T. Branty, A. Payne and party. Mr. Benjamin H. King and party. Mr. Frank Cox and party. Others whose names we do not know might be mentioned, for which the management hereby expresses its appreciation. ST. JAMES NOTES The morning service was unusually large last Sunday. After a splendid sermon on "Excuses," the pastor made an earnest appeal for someone to lay aside every weight and excuse, and accept Christ. There was one conversion and two accessions. The barbecue was a success financially. A large crowd assembled in the Sunday-school room to witness the farce in one act, "Sister Masona," which was full of wit and humor.

Wilson, 4258 Cote Brilliante Ave. The contracting parties were Mr. John Elmer Carter, cousin to Mr. F. A. Carter and Mr. John Carter, and Miss Ara B. Seattles; sister to Mrs. F. Z. Wilson. The house was beautifully decorated with palms, forms and rare plants. As Mrs. Minnie L. Turner rendered the wedding March from Lohengrin, Miss Verna Thomas, bridesmaid, slowly advanced from the diningroom and took her place in the parlor on the left side of the fern and palm bower. At the same time Mr. Henry Robbins took his place on the right side of the bower. Miss Maude Carter, maid of honor, and sister to the groom slowly marched to her place at the right of Miss Thomas, at the same time Mr. Wm. Heater took his place at the right of Mr. Robbins. Next followed little Juanita Burrell, niece of the bride, as flower girl strewing roses for the path of the bride to be. Miss Seattles then slowly marched in leaning on the arm of her brother-in-law Mr. F. Z. Wilson. Mr. John E. Carter walked from the reception hall and took his place beside Miss Seattles in the bower of plants. Rev Abbott, of Union Memorial Church, performed the ceremony, which was very impressive. The bride's dress was of white charmeuse with paniers of white net edged with filmy lace; the veil was of white tulle and formed into a bridal cap, by a wreath of orange blossoms; she carried a large bouquet of white bridal robes. The bridesmaid was dressed in embroidered white net over pink satin. The maid of honor wore pink taffeta, the Negro Business League Meeting The regular monthly meeting of the local Negro Business League will be held at Russell's Chapel, Tuesday evening, September 12.

ZYNOL TOILET EXHIBITION The Zynol Toilet and Product Co., of M. Ewing Ave., made a very nice showing at the Coliseum during the week. Their exhibition attracted thousands of spectators to the delight of the women.

VETERAN COLORED EMPLOYEE OF THE COMMONWEALTH COM James Lum, an employee of the Commonwealth Steel Company, in charge of the rail scrap crew for fourteen years' continuous service, died at his home in Newport, Illinois, Thursday, August 22, 1916, from an attack of heart failure. The services were held Sunday morning, August 27, at the Bethlehem M. K. Church, Newport, Illinois, and were attended by many friends and relatives, among them being, the members of the Colored Men's Commonwealth Fellowship Club of the Commonwealth Steel Company, who attended in a body. Many beautiful floral offerings were received. His fellow club members presented a beautiful floral offering consisting of a large magnificent broken wheel in appreciation of the memory of his loving interest for the welfare of his fellowmen. His company remembered his faithful service, which was always so readily given, by sending a beautiful floral spray. The Colored Men's Fellowship Club lost a member who was ever ready to do more than his share of good work and the community lost a citizen whose interest in life was always on the side of purity and progress. To the widow and the members of his family, his fellow employees and the members of the Commonwealth Fellowship Club take this opportunity to express their sincere and heartfelt sympathy.

Thousands Are Taking Advantage of Opportunities. Philadelphia, Pa.—More than 5,000 Negroes from Georgia and other Southern states have been brought to this city within the past few weeks by the Pennsylvania railroad officials in an effort to solve the labor problem. Two thousand men arrived last week and are being subjected to the physical examination required by the rules of the road. Most of them will be put to work on the Pennsylvania grain elevator at Girard point. Agents of the railroad have been at work in various southern cities more than a month and air have had trouble with the authorities, most of which is cleared up, according to officials of the road here. These agents have been hiring Negroes ranging in age from sixteen to sixty years for unskilled work, ottering from $1.50 to $2 a day. The railroad has discovered that it will not end labor shortage merely to import enough men for the immediate need. In the first batch brought from the South about a month ago, 200 or 300 men secured through southern employment agencies, quit their jobs within in a few weeks. These men were employed on improvement and construction work within a radius of ten miles of Philadelphia, and according to the railroad officials, left to accept jobs with contractors or around munitions plants. It is hoped that the others now being brought in will realize the great opportunity being given them and that they will "stay on the job," instead of quitting as soon as they get a little money ahead. New Policy At The Pendleton Under my new policy to reserve three days a week (every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday), for special programs at ten cents admission, I will show the very best pictures on the market. A class of pictures, that my people have had but very few opportunities to see, a class of pictures entirely different from the general run of programs, such pictures as the Wm. A. Brady's World, the Wm. Fox, the Paramount, the Kline-Edison, and the V. L. S. E. productions; pictures well worth the price with stars such as Marguerite Clark, Mary Pickford, Fritzi Scheff, Gaby Dealsy, Geoaldine Farrar, Theda Bara, and a number of others of this class. After spending a great deal of time looking over these pictures I am convinced that they are something the people will appreciate, and after seeing a few of these features, I think the people will agree with me.

September 7—Sixteen alleged members of the mob which stormed the Allen County Jail here last week, in an attempt to lynch Charles Daniels, a Negro, and tortured Sheriff Eley until he told where the prisoner was held, were indicted today. The list includes several business men. Thirteen of the 16 have been arrested and are in jail under guard of 100, police men and deputy sheriffs. Charles Daniels, the accused Negro, was brought last night from the jail at Napoleon to the Lima city hospital, where he was identified by Mrs. John Baber, his accuser.

P. Jackson's Imperial face bleach and hair oil. Guaranteed by the maker. Mr. McCormick follows the same method in claiming credit for legislation he does in his predictions. He includes several acts of the Taft Administration. The Democratic press is convinced that it is the duty of Mr. Hughes to say something that will hurt his chance of being elected. President Wilson in his acceptance speech may reply to Mr. Hughes' charges, but he will not answer them. That is an entirely different matter. It is reported from Washington that the Administration will ignore most of Mr. Hughes' charges. That is very much the easiest way for it to answer them. Governor Hughes announces in one of his speeches that he is a constructionist. But we are willing to admit that so far as Democratic policies are concerned he is a destructionist. Tammany leader Charles F. Murphy announces that he will retire after the campaign. It is believed that many other more or less distinguished Democrats will follow his example. Grover Cleveland was the last Democratic President. He was also the last President to issue bonds to secure money to defray the running expenses of the government. But Wilson will tie him in this. President Wilson will be notified of the Democratic nomination at Shadow Lawn. This seems a most appropriate place for letting him know that he will shortly have to give up his place in the sun. President Wilson will not make any speaking dates, we are told, but only separate engagements for addresses, considering a "speaking tour", undignified. "Too proud to fight." What Josepifilleous Daniels, the well-known naval militarist, can't understand is why men should waste time Plattsburg at sea when they might just as well learn.how to become sailors in three lessons in any good, reliable correspondence school. Editorial Comment Bryan butts, Wilson tuts. Watchful waiting maketh woeful wanting. Hughes is hammering and the Democrats are yammering. The Wilson Administration stands for taxes, and more taxes. The Hughes trail will be cold by the time the Democrats strike it. As a party leader, would it be fair to refer to J. Ham Lewis as J. "Pork" Lewis? Bryan says Mr. Hughes' talks aren't judicial. No. The people can understand 'em perfectly. Can the folks on the Democratic band wagon continue to play by the President's notes? Hughes says the country can't be saved by letting it drift. That's where he and W. Wilson differ. Washington reports that a new apology has been sent to First Chief Carranza. Looks like a habit. Mr. Bryan is mistaken when he says Hughes is "vitriolic." The candidate is merely applying the acid test. A messenger of President Wilson found out that Colorado women were for the administration. No messenger, of course, can be blamed for making good. Political Jottings SEEK PROGRESSIVE AND LABOR VOTES ON FALSE CLAIMS AUTHORITY ON SOUND SOCIAL LAW CITES 11 GLARING CASES Organized Labor Resents This Deception and Running True to Form Will in November as at Many Previous Elections Indignantly Smite Those Who Without Justice Lay Claim to Its Gratitude—Even the Much-Touted Federal Reserve Law Is Based Entirely on the Statistical Research of a Republican Administration. That "No class is more instant than labor to condemn and punish those who without foundation lay claim to its gratitude" is the assertion of John Williams, ex-commissioner of labor, apropos of certain false claims set forth by Vance McCormick, Democrat National Chairman, in behalf of his party. Chairman McCormlek caused to be published in the New York Times, on July 31, an appeal for Progressive and Labor support, based on "twenty measures enacted by Congress while President Wilson has been in the White House," and for which he claims credit for the Wilson administration and asks Progressive approbation. Commenting on this statement, the former Commissioner of Labor says: "Students and promoters of sound social legislation will do well to examine this list for it contains a number of items of unusual interest. "We may well believe that it was with a great deal of pride that Mr. McCormick contemplated the record of his party and that he drew a vivid mental picture of Progressives flocking to the support of Mr. Wilson because of the things claimed on behalf of this administration. "It is a pity that in the interest of truth, which knows neither Democrat, Progressive nor Republican, we must mar this remarkable statement. Nevertheless, it is our duty to call attention to the fact that in his effort to induce support for Mr. Wilson the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee has fallen into a glaring error. We have no desire to disparage the achievements of the Wilson administration, but we must enter emphatic protest against any attempt to pad the Record. "Mr. McCormick claims 'twenty measures, enacted by Congress while President Wilson has been in the White House.' This claim we dispute. More than one-half are measures enacted under a Republican administration and were approved by ex-President Taft, and for others the Democratic administration deserves no credit. "Lest anyone think that this is a groundless assertion we herewish furnish the record which can easily be verified: From among the twenty pieces of legislation cited by Chairman McCormick, I select the following: (1) Eight hour law on government work. In effect March 1, 1913. Signed by Mr. Taft. (2) Eight hour provision for post office clerks. In effect generally August 24, 1912. (9) The Federal Reserve Law which, while passed during this administration, is based entirely on the vast work of investigation and compilation done by the Monetary Commission, during the Taft Administration, and closely follows, except in certain details, the legislation recommended by that commission. (10) The eight-hour law for the District of Columbia, was fathered and put through by a Republican, Senator La Follette. The anti-trust law antedates the Cleveland Administration — although President Cleveland never enforced it. From time to time, as with all great legislative acts, it has been necessary to amend or add to it, and the anti-trust law of the Wilson Administration was merely such an amendment, a logical development of the original act. (11) The Commerce Court was actually abolished during the Taft Administration, although it has not been demonstrated that its abolition was a wise step. "Any statement hereafter emanating from Mr. McCormick will be subjected to the closest scrutiny. The errors in his first effort are inexcusable and can only arouse resentment among labor men and social workers. No class is more instant than labor to condemn and punish those who without foundation lay claim to its gratitude. "Will Mr. McCormick explain his padding of the Record?" (Signed) JOHN WILLIAMS, Ex-Commissioner of Labor, New York State. THE INCONSIDERATE BEHAVIOR OF A CANDIDATE. Why does Mr. Hughes insist upon talking about that old-fashioned, not to say "iniquitous," doctrine, the protective tariff? For nearly the whole period of its industrial existence, the United States struggled along under protection. The Democratic party in 1913 came to the relief of an afflicted and burdened people. The Republican Administration (not on account of the tariff, it is true) was overthrown. Before taking over the reins of government, and for many years prior to that time, countless Democratic statesmen had vainly tried to persuade the American people that the protective tariff was an iniquity, a veritable contrivance of devils. It fostered the trusts, and it was an elevator of prices even to the thirty-seventh story and the tower. They promised relief. The poor should be no longer oppressed; the cost of living should be reduced—must be, as the sure result of a tariff for revenue—protective only in 'spots, such as the Louisiana sugar mills and the Carolina cotton factories. Doesn't Mr. Hughes know what the Administration did which he is now attacking? He ought to know. The Democrats, under the leadership of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Underwood, repealed that iniquity and abomination, the Payne-Aldrich tariff law—that foster mother of trusts and high prices—and enacted in its place the present law. Mr. Hughes knows, of course, as every head of a family in America knows, that the trusts have not yet been dissolved and that the cost of living is higher than ever, that the price of everything has reached an un-heard-of height—but what of it? What of it, indeed? While it is true that a protective tariff never failed, under any circumstances, to protect American industry and American labor, it is to be considered that the war in Europe has upset the plans of the present low-tariff administration considerably. Also it forms an excellent foundation for an alibi. It is a very unusual condition. Now, the obvious thing for Mr. Hughes to do is, to give the Democrats a chance to get their tariff on straight. Never mind the patient; let the doctor experiment. That time won't come, of course, until the war is over—according to the Democratic version. In other words the tariff-for-revenue doctrine doesn't fit the conditions; the conditions must be made to fit the tariff. So why this disturbance, Mr. Hughes? Besides, when you discuss a little thing like the tariff, do you not know that Son-in-Law McAdoo and the other statesmen of the Democratic family are likely to repeat their accusation that you are "petttifogging"?—Charleston, W. Va., Mall. UNITED STATES' HONOR. Hughes' Criticism of Foreign Policy Approved in West. (Portland, Ore., Telegram.) The Republican party has selected a standard-bearer whose utterances from day to day justify, the people who chose him. Not only does he bring before the country the shortcomings of the Administration that owes its existence to a divided Republicanism, but his criticism is everywhere constructive. He tells what must be done and will be done by the party he represents to prevent wastefulness and extravagance in the governmental expenditures and to put a stop to the vacillating policy that has caused other nations to believe that the United States has no intention of backing up its demands made in the interests of justice and humanity. Most vulnerable of all points in the Democratic armor is its foreign policy. Primarily this is because of the spoils system by which men trained in the consular and diplomatic service through long years, have been displaced to make spom for politicians and friends of politicians, whose sole claim to preferment was their service to the Democratic party. "If I am elected president of the United States," said Mr. Hughes last night, "I propose that every man I put in charge of an important department shall be a man eminently fit to discharge the duties of that department." The denuding of the diplomatic service of men of experience in order to supply political jobs, as has been done by Mr. Wilson, or with his consent, Mr. Hughes denounces as "a capital offense—trading in the good name of the United States and damaging its honor." "Nobody," he adds, "has a right to pay political debts with the good name and honor of the United States." Which is clear proof that Mr. Hughes has not been unmindful of the high principles of government which must be maintained in order that this republic shall maintain its place as a shining example to all nations. Page 3 HE KEPT US OUT OF WHAT WAR? Disingenuous to Boast That It's Through Any Act of Wilson We Are Out of the European Contest. RATHER SHOULD BE BLAMED FOR MEXICAN BELLIGERENCY During the Present Administration We Have Seized a Mexican Port and Sent Our Entire Army and Militia to Fight Mexicans While Armed Mexican Forces Have Invaded American Soil and Fought Battles Against Our People. Sometimes you hear men, sensible men, too, say, "I'm going to vote for Wilson this year because he kept us out of war." Ask such men a short question. Ask them, "Out of what war?" Did Mr. Wilson keep us out of the European War? No. He has himself in a formal address to congress spoken of the European war as "a war with which we have nothing to do, a war whose causes do not touch us." How could Mr. Wilson keep us out of a war with which we have nothing to do and whose causes do not touch us? Did he keep the rest of the western hemisphere out of the European war? No independent nation on this side of the world is involved in it; the only people in it are the colonies of European powers and they had no voice in their fate, for they were automatically at war when their mother governments went to war. Who kept Argentine, Brazil, Chile, Peru, out of the European war? Did Mr. Wilson? Did Mr. Wilson keep us out of war with Mexico? No. In his term more Americans have been killed by Mexicans and more American property has been destroyed by Mexicans than by Spanish-during the whole Spanish war. In his term we have seized a Mexican port and have sent our entire regular army and militia to fight Mexicans. In his term Mexican armed forces have invaded American soil and fought battles against our people within our boundaries. President Taft went through two Mexican revolutions during his term, the revolution against Díaz and the revolution against Madero. American lives were safe in Mexico during that time. No Mexican cities were seized by Americans and no armed Mexicans invaded the United States while Mr. Taft was in the White House. Yet Mr. Taft never thought of asking the American people to vote for him because he kept us out of war with Mexico. He put an embargo on arms so that American weapons would not be sent across the boundary, and he refused to interfere in Mexican affairs. When he left office Mexicans liked Americans and Americans were safe in Mexico. Since he left office Mexicans hate Americans and Americans dare not remain in Mexico. Did Mr. Wilson keep us out of war with Mexico? Not if words mean anything. Mr. Wilson did not keep us out of the-European war and he did not keep us out of war with Mexico. Out of what war, then?—Detroit Free Press. HUGHES' LABOR RECORD When Mr. Gompers, remembering only that he is a 'Democrat and forgetting that he is a leader of organized labor, ventured to assert that Mr. Hughes is unfriendly to labor because he concurred in the unanimous decision in the Danbury hatters' case, he ventured on very thin ice. The Chicago Tribune promptly reminds him that an honest judge must apply the law as he thinks it is, not as he thinks it ought to be; and asks him to tell those who look to him for political advice something about the record of Mr. Hughes as Governor. Read what the Legislative Labor News, the official organ of the New York Federation of Labor, said edifially when Mr. Hughes left the Governor's chair at Albany for his place on the supreme court. Here it is: "Now that Gov. Hughes has retired from politics and ascended to a place on the highest judicial tribunal in the world, the fact can be acknowledged without hurting anybody's political corn that he was the greatest friend of labor laws that ever occupied the Governor's chair at Albany. During his two terms he has signed fifty-six labor laws, including among them the best labor laws ever enacted in this or any state. "He also urged the enactment of labor laws in his messages to the Legislature, even going so far as to place the demand for a labor law in one of his messages to an extra session of the Legislature. "Only 162 labor laws have been enacted in this state since its erection in 1777—in 133 years. One-third of these, exceeding in quality all of the others, have been enacted and signed during Gov. Hughes' term of three years and nine months." Let organized labor take to heart what the Chicago Tribune says on this point: "Mr. Hughes is no demagogue and no vistonary. He is a man of courage and conscience, and if labor cannot confide its cause to his rock-bottom Americanism there is something wrong with its cause."—Boston Herald. . *- Che St. Lowis Argus : PUBLSHED WEEKLY Ware ARGUS PUBLISHIN COMPANY 2.

JAMES M. GRAY, D.D. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT—How long hait ye between two opinions?—I Kings 18:21. There are many people more or less under conviction of sin who are halt- ing just in this way. They know they ought to renounce sin for righteousness, and they also, know that the only way to do that successfully is through faith in Jesus Christ. They have been taught that if they will commit themselves to him as their Redeemer and confess him as their Lord and Master, he will not only PETER H. BURGESS deliver them from guilt, but endue them with the power to overcome sin and lead a godly life. And yet for all this they are halting, and trying to decide whether to put their trust in him and openly confess him or not. What are some of the reasons given for this indecision? Or, to put it in another way, what are some of the obstacles which the evil one is setting before them to hinder them in their progress towards salvation through Christ? Not long ago we were speaking of this subject from another point of view, and dwelt on two or three very common objections such as that there are hypocrites in the church, or the profit and pleasure that must be given up if one becomes a Christian, or the fear of not being able to hold out in Christian life, etc. But there are other objections than these. One is the remark, "I am not good enough to become a Christian." This sounds like humility, but in reality is spiritual pride, for it is based on the supposition that one can make himself good enough without Christ. But if so why need a Savior, and why should the Son of God have suffered and died? If we can make ourselves partially holy, we can make ourselves absolutely holy, and therefore the work of atonement was unnecessary and a crime. A convincing answer to this is the testimony of our Lord himself that he came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. The great Augustine prayed, "O Lord, I am so great a sinner, I must flee into thine arms!" That is the place for the sinner to flee just because he is a sinner. (2) "I do not know how to believe," is sometimes put forth as a reason. And yet "believe" means simply "to trust," "to commit one's self" to the Saviour in order to be. Indeed, the difficulty is not so much in the meaning of the word, "believe," as in waiting for feeling to accompany the belief. A woman once gave this excuse to a pastor who was urging her to accept Christ. And he said to her, "Do you own the house you live in?" To which she answered, "Yes." And then he added, "How do you know you do?" After reflection she said, "Because my title deed is recorded in the office of the county clerk." She was not waiting for feeling to know that she owned her house, and no more should we wait for feeling to know that we are saved. It is recorded in the word of God, that "God hath given to us eternal life and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." And it is written again, "He that believeth not God hath made him a liar, because he believeth not the record that God gave his Son." The sinner who is waiting for feeling before he believes that faith saves him is not only doing himself the greatest injury, but is dishonoring God. 3. Another common reason for halting is no reason at 921, viz., that the time has not yet come to take the step. It is the excuse of Felly, who trembled when, in his presence, Paul reasoned of "righteousness, temperance and judgment to come," and who answered, "Go thy way for this time, when I have a convenient season I will call for thee." If today this message is coming to one under conviction of sin and feeling the need of a Savior, God forbid that he should put it off and say, "Go thy way for this time." Who knows whether the "convenient season" will ever come? "He that being often reproved hardened his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy." There is a law of mental science that impressions frequently repeated and unheeded, lose their power to impress. How often have you heard this invitation and warning, and turned a deaf ear to it? Does it influence you as strongly today as it did the first day you heard it? It may be doubted if it does, and that fact in itself should sound the alarm causing you to hasten from the impending doom. Jacob's is not the only dream that resulted in a bethel, nor the only homeless slumber that led to a better life. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago). (Copyright 1916, Western newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 10 THE ARREST OF PAUL LESSON TEXT—Acts 21:17-40. GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shalt be a witness for him unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.—Acts 22:15. No study of the book of Acts is complete unless the teacher impresses upon his pupils the opportunities for living the Christian life in the normal environment of the home or school, at work or play. Deep interest attaches to every detail leading up to Paul's visit to Rome. Therefore let the teacher trace Paul's journey from Miltea to Jerusalem, which occupied about four weeks, and took place in the early part of the year A. D. 57. 1. The Arrival (vv 17-26). The Spirit revealed to the disciples and to prophets that if Paul went to this city he would be in great danger, and the Spirit was not forbidding but only teaching him for he knew Paul had a great work to do in Jerusalem, and that he only could do it. Everywhere Paul went he "searched for" (v. 7) disciples, with whom he tarried and whom he enlightened in the way of truth. Arriving in Jerusalem, he appears to have made his home with Mnason, outside of the crowded city, thus being less exposed to danger and finding a place of rest. At a public reception (v. 18) Paul reports of his work, and no doubt he laid his strongest emphasis on what God had wrought through him, among the churches of Asia. The leaders of the Jerusalem church received the gifts Paul brought from the Gentile churches, glorified God for what he had accomplished, but saw clearly that, to accomplish his statesmanlike purpose, something must be done to make clear that the false reports as to Paul's teaching were discredited (vv. 20-22). They therefore resorted to diplomacy (vv. 23-23). To the many thousands of Jews gathered on this festival occasion in the city, some of whom were zealous for the law, they declared first that Paul taught all the Jews which were among the Gentiles not to forsake Moses; second, that he had not taught them not to walk after the customs of Moses. The facts were Paul obeyed the Jewish ceremonial laws personally, as a matter of race, not as a condition of salvation. II. The *Arrest* (vv. 27-36). Paul's attempt at conciliation resulted not in peace but in more discord. Every true servant of God is sure to be misrepresented, and it will not do always to attempt to set straight all the lies that are told about him. God will take care of the lies and of our reputations. Most of the charges that men, even Christians, bring against one another are based upon "supposition" (v. 20). It was not a new experience for Paul to be mobbed. As the maddened Jews dragged him out of the temple he must have recalled the treatment of Stephen in which he, himself, had had a hand (7:57, 58). How frequent it is that we, ourselves, are in due time treated in the same way in which we have treated others (Gal. 6:7). It was the intention of the Jews to kill Paul at once without a trial (26:9, 10). They fancied they were doing God's service (John 16:2). This lesson is a striking example of the utter folly and wickedness of mob law. Paul's time had not yet come, and all the mobs on earth could not kill him until God permitted it. III. The Arraignment (vv. 37-40). Tidings of the riot came to the chief captain, equivalent to our colonel (Acts 23:26). Paul was bound with two chains, one from each of his arms to a soldier, secured, yet left free to walk with his guards, thus fulfilling the prophecy of Acabus (v. 21). Mobs usually have great respect for soldiers, for they are inwardly coward, No sooner was Paul on the stairs which led to the top of the fortress than the mob, afraid that they were about to be balked of their vengeance, made a mad rush at him, with cries of "Kill him; kill him!" and Paul, unable in his fettered condition to steady himself, was carried off his feet and hurried off in the same path his Master had trod (John 19:15) and he was again to hear that cry. (Ch. 22:22). During all this tumult Paul had but one thought, how he might witness for his Master, and bring some of his blinded accusers to a saving knowledge of Christ. Thus it was that he asked for the privilege of speaking, and most courteously did he make his request. He spoke to the captain in, the Greek tongue, not in Hebrew, and great was the surprise of the captain. Practical Application. When we are attacked, no matter for what cause, if we confidently look for deliverance and exercise self-control, God will take care of us. Such conduct is disconcerting to our enemies. - Diplomacy is often dangerous and misunderstood. - Circumstantial evidence is never of great value. There is however, a desirable form of diplomacy as when Paul addressed the soldiers in his native tongue. Paul's principle was in essentials, firmness; in non-essentials, liberty. THE ST.

The strong Henry (Ill.) Greys will play a five-game series with the St. Louis Giants at Federal League Park Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week. The Greys are composed chiefly of former major and Federal League players. Among them will be such stars as Hank Kueper of the St. Louis Federals in 1914, and Fred Kommers, also of the same club and Pittsburgh Nationals; John Dolan, with Indianapolis Feds in 1914; Hod Eller, now on Chicago National's reserve list, and a number of others who have either been in the big show or will be in the future. The Henry team has a great record, trimming such teams as the Cuban Stars, Rube Foster's Chicago American Giants, the A. B. C.s of Indianapolis, and the Long Branch Cubans. Mills' St. Louis boys are in the pink of condition right now and it is safe to say that nothing short of a first division, big league club-can stop them. They do not intend to let the Greys catch them napping, however, and will line up, expecting the hardest game of the season Sunday afternoon. All games will start at 3:15. Admission, 25 and 35 cents, boxes 15 cents extra. Ladies will be admitted free on Monday and Thursday. --- RECORD CROWD SEES START OF "THE YELLOW MENACE" The largest opening night crowd that ever attended the Booker Washington Theatre filled the newly decorated and remodeled house Labor Day and night, drawn easily by the releasing of "The Yellow Menace," the latest serial sensation. This daring photo play starts off as a thriller and bidsair to be the biggest hit in the film world. There is plenty of hair-raising action, due to the ingenious arch criminal Chinese plotter, Ali Singh. As "The Higher Power," this cunning Oriental succeeds in launching a movement to have the Yellow races conquer America and is sent here to direct this end of the plot. Although closely watched he outwits the United States authorities and lands. The next episode will be shown at the Booker Washington next Monday night. Ali begins action by kidnapping the Governor's daughter, and a thrilling flight and final rescue results. Don't fail to see it. the vaudeville offering is well up to the standard. On account of transportation troubles, the full show was not assembled until Wednesday night, but is running nicely now. Bradford and Sanford open with a good act made up principally of excellent singing by both members. The act is well received. Dainty Theresa Burroughs Brooks, as charming as ever, is offering a singing and dancing treat that well displays the distinctive talent of the little actress. She is wearing a net gown over pink tights, which may be proper for the style of dancing she assays, but it seems a little too bold. She is making a big hit and her art as well appreciated. The Burquist Brothers play several pieces on a couple of large piano accordians. The instruments produce music with the volume of a full orchestra and pipe organ combined. Their act is going big. Buddie and Toy Brown are repeating one of their former successes "The Dancing Master and the Newsboy." Several new trimmings have been added to the piece and it is making a tremendous hit. Toy is as active and graceful as ever and keeps the audiences roaring with her ready wit. NEXT WEEK Next week Mr. Turpin will offer his patrons another well balanced bill, consisting of Fannie Wise, the prima donna, the three Marshall Sisters, Pennell and Holden and one other star act. The patrons are sure of a big show.

WANTED COLORD GIRLS New Factory Work Fairfax and Vandeventer J. HUGHES and FAIRBANKS. Washington.—Families are being divided by the present political issues. Here are a few examples. J. A. H. Hopkins of New Jersey is treasurer of the Progressive (genuine) national committee, and has announced that he personally favors the re-election of Wilson. Mrs. Hopkins is a member of the Woman's party and will take the stump and do all she can to prevent the election of Wilson. Gifford Pinchot is for Hughes and all the militarism Hughes and his backing can secure. Amos Pinchot, his brother, is a member of the American Union Against Militarism and will support Wilson as the lesser of two evils. Rep. William Kent of California is a wild-eyed enthusiasm for Wilson and is heading a Wilson non-partisan league, while Mrs. Kent is a member of the Woman's party and will stump for the defeat of Wilson. George Middleton has allied himself with the group of writers who have announced themselves for Wilson, while his wife, Fola La Follette, is one of the members of the Congressional union who will hold Wilson responsible for the defeat of the Susan B. Anthony amendment. Meredith Nicholson is a Wilson supporter, but Mrs. Nicholson will write and stump against Wilson on account of his attitude toward the federal suffrage amendment. Mrs. Louis F. Post is a member of the Woman's Peace party and an ardent Tolstoyan pacifist. Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of labor, is for the Administration's "reasonable" program of preparedness. POPULAR HUGHES CAMPAIGN FUND. The plan adopted by Cornelius N. Bliss, Jr., treasurer of the Republican National Committee, to raise money for the campaign and increase the force of active workers for the election of Charles Evans Hughes to the presidency has peculiar merit. Mr. Bliss asks every one who favors the election of Mr. Hughes and wishes him to have the support of a Republican Senate and House to contribute $10 and become a sustaining member of the Republican party. All such will receive a certificate of membership. That the money will prove a good investment is patent. It will help to secure for the country a more efficient administration of our national affairs, which is necessary if the prosperity and influence of the nation is to continue. "There are at least 8,000,000 Republicans, but how many of them have any evidence they are, beyond the consciousness that they have voted or will vote the Republican ticket? The work is done by a few and the money ordinarily is provided by fewer. Mr. Bliss' plan offers a cure for that condition. Help the cause and get a certificate of membership that will establish your party affiliation. It is not expected that all the 8,000,000 Republicans will give $10 each, but if a goodly number who can afford it do so there will be a great many more able to give much more than $10 next time because Republican success will mean to the country in fullest measure preparedness, protection and permanent prosperity. Mr. Hughes is seeing how big the West is, and the West is seeing how big Mr. Hughes is. It is a happy arrangement. Friends of Wilson are still trying to explain what he meant by "too proud to fight." But can they tell us what he meant by "strict accountability?" "Emilment judges," says Colonel Henry Watterson, "have ever proved disappointing candidates." He is right. Alton B. Parker was a big disappointment to the Democrats. And so is Charles Evans Hughes.—Toledo Blade. President Wilson appears to have been keenly alive to the expediency of accepting several invitations to make speeches in the West. Nobody knows any better than he that it will take considerable shovelling to fill up the holes that have been dug in that locality by Justice Hughes. It was John P. St. John of Kansas, one time Prohibitionist candidate for president of the United States, who said that Americana vote as they cheer. If so, there is mighty little consolation for the Democratic party in this campaign, for the Democratic Administration in three years has given us nothing to cheer over. On the contrary, as Mr. Hughes has said, these last three years have been years of humiliation and embarrassment. Mr. Wilson says his mind is progressive, but those who try to follow its progress can never tell the direction it is taking. It is just as likely to be progressing backward as forward. At Princeton Mr. Wilson used to confer honors upon D. Du. He couldn't break the habit when it came, to Deserving Democrats. PROF. W. L.
