St. Louis Argus

Recognized Best Informed Man In America. Shows by Scientific Research Proof of True Diagnosis and Cure of Dreadful Disease At the fifth annual convention of the American Association of Progressive Medicine held at Kansas City during the week of September 4. Dr. D. E. Caldwell, of Dunham, S. C., was one of the most prominent characters on the program. His special contribution to the program which attracted so much attention was a paper on the diagnosis and care of pellagra. His researches and demonstrations were so thorough that the American Association of Progressive Medicine has accepted his theories as the true diagnosis and cure for this dreadful disease of the South. Dr. Caldwell, when seen by an Argus reporter, made the following statement, relative to former theories: "The Goldburg theory of pellagra is misleading and incorrect. His experience on the convict farm is of no value as to the cause of pellagra, the great scourge of the South. According to the Mississippi State Board of Health the death rate of pellagra ranks third in that state, being exceeded only by pneumonia and tuberculosis. And it is a pity that the state of Mississippi, as well as American Association of Medicine, should endorse this well-meaning, but false theory. The sameness of diet simply gave his convicts scurvy and not pellagra. When he resumed his proted diet he simply cured the scurvy and not pellagra. Pellagra is a chronic acid intoxication produced by free stone water. It is a disease that does not flourish much in limestone countries and it is cured by an alkaline treatment. "Yours respectfully. "D. E. Caldwell, M. D." "117 S. Mangum St., Durham, N. C." Speaking of Dr. Caldwell, "The Kansas City Journal," the leading daily of that city in its issue of September 6, 1916, says he is a "pellagra expert" and that he is the best informed man in America on its diagnosis and treatment. Help Swell Orphan Fund Four hundred names are wanted to add to this list. The St. Louis Colored Orphan Home at 4316 Natural Bridge Road, needs $400 to pay for the alley that is being constructed by the city and for some necessary repairs. Just one dollar, that's all. We should like to see a children's club organized, say about six in the club. See if they cannot raise six dollars to help the less fortunate. Who will be the first to organize a club. Mr. A. R. Fowler presented 30 pair of stockings to the children for school purposes, which was purchased from H. A. Smith Furnishing Company, 2343 Market Street. Ten dollars has been raised up to Wednesday night: Mr. J. E. Mitchell, $1; Mrs. Winnie Coleman, $1; Mr. Wm. Fort, $1; Mr. Cornelius Coates, $1; Mrs. Cornelius Coates, $1; Mr. Edward Turner, $1; Mrs. Edward Turner, $1; Mrs. J. Smith, $1; Mr. Clarence Burles, $1; Mrs. Josephine DeToney, $1.

Caston Rannavallona, of Jefferson City, was in St. Louis, a few daws last week looking the political situation over as it concerns the Republican party in this state. He stated that it was his belief that the Republicans would have a hard fight to elect, a governor this fall. According to a vague message received at our office, W. L. Malora, president of Oxford College, 4246 West Belle, and his party, who left here early in July in his touring car, are lost in the sandy deserts of Oklahoma. The communication states that a sand storm drove them over twenty miles from the main road. We have opened a stand at 2924 Lakeside. Avenue. The vegetables are directly from the farm to your table.

THE HISTORICAL TEST The Stars in Their Courses Side With a Race Fighting For Its Rights —William Menroe Trotter, Boston Editor, Makes Strong Appeal To All Lovers of Justice and Fair Play To Come or Send Delegate 40 Washington, D. C., Oct. 4. Boston, Mass.—This year, 1916, for Colored Americans is historically critical. It marks the accountability year of the first Southern President since freedom, and the half century since the passage by Congress of the Civil Rights Bill and of the 14th Amendment, creating their citizenship. For some years we have been losing on rights of citizenship in law or practice, South and North, an ominous sign. At the height of such a year what is to be the answer of Colored America, itself, what it’s historical record! excellent, but do not sustain our historical record as a race. This can be easily done, however, by the formation of an Equal Rights Committee by Colored Americans in each Colored Community. Have it understood that these committees are tor co-operation with other organizations and all difficulty is removed. They are to prevent the charge of no self-fight or initiative, are for members of all other organizations to join, and are not to interfere. The great opportunity comes now. Every Colored community should form an Equal Rights Committee at once. It is not enough to vote against the perfidious Wilson. Even so, he might be elected, . . . Shall the historian of tomorrow, and he will be a white man, perhaps this same Wilson—record that under a race prescription suffered not so much by any other race, fifty years after receiving citizenship, twelve million strong, this Colored race, abuse of like race groups, was incapable of itself creating and maintaining organized self-defense of rights on a national basis! How Record of Race Can be Saved Religious, fraternal, charity, business organization, local organization for rights or national by the philanthropic aid of noble friends are all most excellent, but do not sustain our historical record as a race. This can be easily done, however, by the formation of an Equal Rights Committee by Colored Americans in each Colored Community. Have it understood that these committees are for co-operation with other organizations and all difficulty is removed. They are to prevent the charge of no self-fight or initiative, are for members of all other organizations to join, and are not to interfere. The great opportunity comes now. Every Colored community should form an Equal Rights Committee at once, and send a delegate to the National Colored Citizenship Rights Congress called for Washington, D. C., October 4, by the National' Equal Rights League, whose branches hold up this cause, but in not enough places. Through the congress or league these Equal Rights Committee—the very name has power—can be nationally connected. Send either a delegate or a courage to the congress. Thus, without any interference with existing agencies, our race can save its own historical record and by self-help and spirit to equality of rights. At now, Colored America. William Monroe Trotter. National Baptist At Kansas City National Baptist At Kansas City "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," led by a chorus of 150 voices and joined by 1,500 delegates, representing thirty-eight states, marked the opening of the thirty-sixth annual session of the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated), yesterday morning at Armory Hall, Fourteenth Street and Michigan Avenue. The attendance was one of the largest in the history of the organization when the convention was called to order at 10:30 o'clock by Vice-President Robert Mitchell, D. D., of Lexington, Ky. Divine services were led by the Revs. J. J. James, of Alabama; William Robinson, of Louisiana, and William Hicks, of Mississippi. A plantation melody of Negro folk songs was sung by the chorus and prayer was offered by Dr. C H. Clark, of Tennessee. This marked the opening of the convention. Oneness of mind and purpose was the dominant spirit that characterized the leaders of this large host of Baptists, and to do the most good to the most people seemed to be their watchword. Speaking of this gathering, the "Kansas City Sun" has this to say: "The National Baptist Convention (unincorporated) is a magnificent gathering of earnest and devoted men and women and embraces some of the most brilliant and successful Negroes of America. While it is only a part of the great Baptist denomination in this country, yet we venture the assertion that its rank and file is composed of the most progressive, as well as the most representative members of that denomination in this country. They are imbued with a spirit of right and justice and are exhibiting a militant spirit which augurs well for the success of the principle for which they are contending. "That two factions will ultimately be consolidated and harmonized every right thinking man and woman hopes and prays for, but when that consolidation comes we venture the assertion that the principles for which the so-called Boyd faction are contending, will be accepted as the principles of the whole church. The Sun bids you well come to our city." National Baptist At Savannah SAVANNAH GA Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark., was honored by 6,000 Negro Baptists yesterday morning, following the delivery of his annual address, by being unanimously elected president of the National Baptist Convention for the twenty-third consecutive time. He is called the "Moses of the Negro Baptists of the United States," and is considered a safe and conservative leader of his people. Rey. A. Barbour, of Galveston, Tex., delivered a strong address, telling of the work accomplished by Dr. Morrija for his people, and of the unselfish life he had lived. The other officers elected were: W. G. Parks, D. D., Philadelphia, vice-president at large; Prof. R. B. Hudson, of Selma, Ala., secretary; E. Arlington Wilson, Muskogee, Okla.; T. O. Fuller, Ph. D., Memphis, Teen; H. M. Donald, St. Paul, Mann; J. M. Nabit, assistant secretaries; A. J. Stokes, D. D., Montgomery, Ala., C. H. Parrish, D. D., Louisville, Ky., statistical secretaries; Prof. M. M. Rodgett, Dallas, Tex., auditor; T. J. Ewing, Nashville, Tenn., and W. J. Latham, Jackson, Miss., attorneys. By a vote of 1,000 to 60 Muskogee Okla., got the 1917 national African Baptist Convention over Baltimore, Md., in the election by the national convention here today. These were the only two places offered for the next meeting. GRAND OPENING The grand opening of Mrs. A. Smith's Studio, 4327 West Belle Place will be Thursday evening, September 21.

She was invited to Lookout, Ark., a Negro town, to address an assembly, the occasion being the fourteenth anniversary of the establishment of the place. More than a thousand people greeted the famous beauty culturist and she spoke to them with freedom and eloquence, to the delight of all. Her next appearance was at the Sunday school convention of the Clarendon District, of the African Methodist Church, which convened at Clarendon. Here she talked to women of the race on home building, and was cheered throughout. The Grand Lodge of the Royal Circle of Friends, which met in Helena, Ark., brought together delegates from Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and several other states. There were more than two thousand delegates and visitors present. Madame Horton was one of the specially invited speakers of the occasion. She spoke to the body for more than thirty minutes. Her address was along the line of following race leadership, and patronizing Negro enterprises. Her talk was so full of useful suggestions that the leading white paper of the city published an account of it under big black headlines, a thing never before seen in this section of the country concerning a Negro woman. During her stay she added many new agents to her already large number of agents for the promotion of her business. One of the features of the great parade was a profusely decorated automobile, with streamers, in which Madame Horton rode, and throw out circulars advertising her business. DR. J. DOUGLAS HERBEN Recently called to pastorate of Mount Zion Baptist Church, 2024 Papin St. Rev. J. Douglas Herben, who has been in this city for quite a while and who has sustained the reputation of being a successful evangelist, has been called to the pastorate of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 2624 Papin Street, of this city. The officers and members seems jubilant over the possibility of securing the services of Dr. Herben, and are making every effort to induce him to accept the call. They have communicated with the churches in the East that Dr. Herben, formerly pastored and have received satisfactory replies. Dr. Herben was for fifteen years vice-president of National Baptist Convention and is well known in fraternal circles. Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 2, 1916. Mr. C. H. Lambert.

William R. Willcox, Chairman, of the Itepublican’ National Committee, bas received from Senator Penrose 1 bricf-but positive summing up of the extruvagances. of the Wilson Admials- tration during the session of Congress Just about to close. The Senator says: : “When the country realizes what this Congress has done in the way of appropriations it will be dumfounded. Already, it has been shown that over a billion, seven or eight hundred mil- Yon dollars have been appropriated— more money than was ever appropri ate’ in any one year In the history of the American“government. ‘The to- tal will reach nearly two billlot dol- lars before the end of this carnival ‘of debauchery in public expenditures renched, because no account has been mken of the twenty-five millions for the Danish islands, the thirty mil- Mons ‘which the government will prob- fably Rave to refund as a@ result of "the five per cent rebate allowed on ‘Mmportations brought across the seas ‘m American bottoms, and other mat- ters which are likely to come up. “It Is only too evident that this bill which Is expected to bring {hy xome two hundred million dollars will ab- solutely fall to meet-even the require- ments for the ill-advised and certainly. not urgent projects authorized by the present Congress. “It 1s now claimed that these pro- jects are to be financed by the tssu- ance ‘of Panama Canal bonds. The American: people will regard sich a» proceeding asa very queer one be- the Issuing of bonds by the Geena Administration largely help- to bring about the downfall of the Democratic party in 1896.

He has sagrificed the hon- oF and the interests of the coun- try; but he has not received the thirty pieces of silver—From the speech of Col. Besos Roosevelt, delivered at ; Maine, in. behalf of Charles E. Hughes” WKINLEY'S WAR GOST LESS BLOODSHED THAN WILSON'S PEACE By Tivsdne Weceovale Under President McKinley we had a war with Spain. Under | President Wilson we are assured that we have had “peace” with Mextco, These are the words. Now for the deeds. During the war with Spain fewer Azerleans were killed by the Spaniards than have been killed by “Mfexi- cans during the present “peace” with Mexico, Let me repeat this. A greater number of Amer- icans “have * been killed — by Mexteans during these years, when: we are officially informed: that we have been at peice with them. thun were Killed by the _Spantards during our entire war. with Spain. Moreover when .the war with Spain was through, it was through, But peace still con tinues to rage as furlously us ever In Mexleo, Nor is thix all, The instant effect of the outcome of the war with Spain wais fo put u stop to the dread- ful butchery and starvation in Cuba ‘and’ the Philippines, and the entry of both Cuba and the Philippines on a career of eight- een yeurs of peace and pros perity such as they had, never kyown befére in all thelr check- ered history. But during these three years of Mr. Wilson's “peace,” the ‘Mexicans them- selves have been butchered by thetr awn bandits steadily and without Intermission ; and Mext- can ‘women and children have died by thousands—probably by ‘xcores of thousands—vf sturva- Uon, and of the diseases incident to starvation. In other words, Mr. McKinley's war cost less peace; and It reflected high hon- or onthe American peaple; whereas Mr. + Wilson's peace has been one of shame and dis- honor for the American people, and one of ruin and bloodshed for the Mexicans. A PICTURE OF HUGHES. ‘The New York World, which ence was outspoken in its admiration for Mr. Hughes, now declares that the people do not know’ where Hughes stands; or what he stands for. This Wilson orga -had “no such criticism to make when Mr, Hughes was gov ernor. The World said on May 17, 1910: “He dictated no nominations controlled no convention, trafficked in no patronage, made"no bargains with officeholders. He las rewarded no- body for supporting him and punished nobody for opposing him, What tn: fluence he has wielded over public opinion has come through his appeals to the voters themselves.” That Is the estimate of Mr. Hughes given by the World six years ago. It In a pretty fair letter of reconimendétion. Could the World say as much: for President’ Wilson? Hardly, for the president hax done all of the things from which the World absolved Hughes.—Kansas City Journal GUARDSMEN PAY THE PRICE OF WILSON’S ABASEMENT. Having condoned the repeated murders of Americans by the Carranzistas, and having abased, himself before Carranza, and having aided in placing Carran. 2a in power, what le Mr. Wil- son's reward? and who pays it? The reward is that Mr. Wilson ) has to place 150,000 troops on | the border to partially prevent the raids and murders that his friend Mr, Carranza will not or cannot prevent; and the pay- ment is made by the soldisrs who are slain and by the fam. “Illes of, the guardsmen whe go in want because thelr husbands “and fathers have been called to the border to make good Mr. Wilson's refusal to let the rea lar army administer such punish ment to the bandits as to inspire in them a healthy fear—From the ‘speech of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, delivered at Lewis- ton, Maine, in behalf of Charies E.

Mc. Hughes, with rare courage, frank- hess and penetration, is exposing the fimsy foundation for the claims of Wilsonian infailibility. He i+ laying bare a record of extravagance, partl- sanship, sectionalistis, Incompetence, wrbngheadedness, vacciliation and Lo- sincerity which destroys the uttempt to make a joss out of the President. ‘The Democrats must come dut of their ecstatic trance and defend their stey- ardship.

Potachek, one of the feminine descendants of herederate general, and who was one of an eminent historic characters, had her blue blood chilled in York, at Hotel Astor, at the meeting of the committee of the Hughes Alliance. The shock to lay by the presence in the committee of 15 Colleagues conversant with the topics, participants in the treet and enthusiastic for the election of Her Potachek (Potachek is a peculiar name for a woman) grew indignant at the sight of the New gave the committee "a piece of her mind," and already sent to very convenient pieces of Negro nurse that she thought the world didn't sit next to Negroes in the meeting. Now and she left in a flurry, feeling wounded to the point that she sit next to a Negro now, when in her heart to her black mammy's breast which was blood? Does physical contact with the Negro proximity deteriorating? How about her South Negroes in the kitchen, elbow deep in the dark, she ate was baked? How about a Negro streets and roads, sitting by her in the same intimate her? An analysis of her home and indicate that she would not object to her being by her, but object only to a cultured man, intelligent and able to equally discuss its involved. S. Merry answered Mrs. Potachek rather simply as "an old Blaine girl" and was proud of heraine. She defended the Colored women defended Lord made the white man and the Lord made against drawing the color line, and exel remarks, "I'm not afraid to sit along side the Potachek left, dragging her racial prejudice in aerial atmosphere, and the 15 Colored women of the, the "Old Blaine girl," remained and deli delegates, on how to aid in the election of Her with her race feeling is more in accord with her surrounding the homestead and manors of her south, than in the land where Hughes and great forces. However, Mrs. Potachek left her left, and the Colored women remained to non-racial and fair-minded president. Mrs. Leon M. Potachek, one of the feminine descendants of Robert E. Lee, Conferedate general, and who was one of an eminent line of American historic characters, had her blue blood chilled a few days ago in New York, at Hotel Astor, at the meeting of the Woman's City Committee of the Hughes Alliance. The shock to her nerves was caused by the presence in the committee of 15 Colored women, cultured, conversant with the topics, participants in the doings of the committee and enthusiastic for the election of Hughes. Mrs. Leon M. Potachek (Potachek is a peculiar name for a woman of her line of ancestry) grew indignant at the sight of the Negro women, and at once gave the committee "a piece of her mind," which mind the event had already torn into very convenient pieces. She said she had an old Negro nurse that she thought the world of, but that she wouldn't sit next to Negroes in the meeting. No! indeed she wouldn't, and she left in a flurry, feeling wounded to her heart. Why wouldn't she sit next to a Negro now, when in her beginning, she lay next to her black mammy's breast which was the fountain of her life blood? Does physical contact with the Negro contaminate? Is proximity deteriorating? How about her Southern home? How about Negroes in the kitchen, elbow deep in the dough, out of which the bread she ate was baked? How about a Negro driving her through the streets and roads, sitting by her in the same carriage, did that contaminate her? An analysis of her home training and action would indicate that she would not object to her old black nurse sitting by her; but object only to a cultured and well-bred Colored woman, intelligent and able to equally discuss with her all the questions involved. Mrs. E. S. Merry answered Mrs. Potachek rather sharply. She said she was "an old Blaine girl" and was proud of being from the State of Maine. She defended the Colored women delegates. She said, "The Lord made the white man and the Lord made the Negro." She protested against drawing the color line, and exclaimed at the end of her remarks, "I'm not afraid to sit along side the Negro." So Mrs. Potachek left, dragging her racial prejudice with her to a more congenial atmosphere, and the 15 Colored women delegates and their friend, the "Old Blaine girl," remained and deliberated, with the other delegates, on how to aid in the election of Hughes. Mrs. Potachek with her race feeling is more in accord with the dominant sentiment surrounding the homestead and manors of her ancestry in the old South, than in the land where Hughes and such master spirits are great forces. However, Mrs. Potachek left and we hope she will stay left, and the Colored women remained to help give the nation a non-racial and fair-minded president. FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS WANTED or what the Colored Orphans' Home wants and for that sum it is now appealing. Among us we know there is enough race pride and husiis call at once. Let 400 men give one dollar raised. It is a little amount but it is necessary in pressing, needed and useful. We have an amply endowed orphans' home, a f the interest on which would permanently sustiess of this noble and very worthy charity she plan for an endowment fund. It can be done. Such a movement is in the near future. That is what the Colored Orphans' Home wants and needs immediately and for that sum it is now appealing. Among the Negroes in St. Louis we know there is enough race pride and humanity to respond to this call at once. Let 400 men give one dollar each and the money is raised. It is a little amount but it is necessary and to that extent it is pressing, needed and useful. Klu Kluxism is being revived in North Carolina. After the seventh of November, it will see the danger of its existence with Hughes as President of the nation and then it will disappear. The Republicans have gained first blood and first knock down blow in the first round by their victory in the Maine election. Hurrah! The Colored citizens of Coatesville, Pa., have succeeded in preventing "The Birth of a Nation," from being exhibited. The mayor of the city joined with the Negroes and all thought they had enough of "the birth of a nation" in the burning of a Negro to death some years ago in that town. So the play was forbidden. The Democratic party is chasing after the Progressive vote. They were also in Maine. After a while they will find themselves chasing a Jack-o'-Lantern that will lead them into the quagmire of defeat and disaster. The Progressive vote has dissolved into its original element and is now Republican except that part of it which was originally Democratic.

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 wnite 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. 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. I hereby make this statement for the benefit of my many friends who have been misled by "civil 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.

Dr. J. Douglas Herben for a number of years and I feel that any church who desires a spiritual and progressive minister will do well to secure his services. As his successor, I urge upon the members of the great Zion Church of St. Louis to extend him a call, and I am sure you will never regret having done so. Fraternally yours, Chas. D. Douglas, D. D., Pastor, Second Baptist Church. Washington, Sept. 3, 1916.

You will find him to be as recommended. 2050 8th St., N. W. Washington, D. C. P. S.—We would be pleased to hear of your success in the near future. Wadsworth, Ohio, Sept. 1, 1916.

Herben as a good spiritual and moral preacher of God's holy and everlasting Word, while in our midst. He is a wonderful worker in church and Sunday-school. We recommend him in the name of the Lord.

TOBACCO KING GIVES FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO BUILD NEGRO CHUECH Dr. Rufus & Stout Leading the Movement Editor Hamlett Delivers Ground-Breaking Sermon, Winston-Salem, North Carolina Last Sunday was a great day in Winston-Salem, a new epoch was marked in the Negro church life of the city, a new impetus was given the religious and philanthropic activities of the people. Dr. Rufus S. Stout. Corresponding Secretary of Church Extension of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, came here from Pine Bluff, Arkansas, in the interest of his denomination. He spoke with such eloquence and power that he reached the hearts of the two wealthiest men in the city, Mr. R. J. Reynolds, Tobacco King, and Mr. P. H. Hanes, another multi-millionaire. Col. Reynolds, after listening to this great race leader, gave him two lots worth $1,500 upon which to erect a fine C. M. E. Temple and then gave five thousand dollars to assist in the building. Dr. Stout is being praised far and wide for securing this magnificent gift from one of the wealthiest men in the South. Mr. Reynolds pays to the Colored people of Winston-Salem, thirty thousand dollars per week for labor in his mammonth tobacco factories. The ground-breaking services of the new C. M. E. Temple were held Sunday when Rev. J. Arthur Hamlett, of Jackson, Tenn., Editor "Christian Index," official organ of the C. M. E.

OLIVE BAPTIST After a wonderful prayer service at 5:30 n. m., led by Bro. Thomas, dear old Mt. Olive was truly the place of Pentecost. Rev. Bro. Joyner preached at eleven o'clock and discoursing from the subject of God's love for the world and his gift of his only Son was unsurpassable. The three o'clock covenant was never better attended nor people mode devout. When our beloved elder, Dr. Morris, took the rostrum at o'clock the world was lost to view in eating and drinking from that celestial fountain. God, for Christ's sake, baptized this old life-saving station with hallowed fire and truly our hearts within us did burn. Sacrament was also partaken of at the night service. Our dear friends are always welcome in our midst to share our joys and woes and we humbly beg the public to be with us Sunday, Sept. 24, in our last rally of the season. Help us to provide for your comforts of the winter when in our midst. Rev. D. W. Morris, Pastor. ~ §1.

SUTCLIFFE Extension Department Moody Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT—Christ our life.—Col. 1:4. If the three spheres in which the believer's life is said to be are kept distinct in the mind, much confusion of thought will be avoided. M. "Your life is hid with Christ in God." Col. 3:3. This is the place of supreme satisfaction and absolute safety: the place of opened vision where the unseen things are seen—the unseen things which make the present afflictions, however severe, to be light in comparison. It is the place of close fellowship with God and his son, Jesus Christ. The place of abiding, changeless joy, for in his presence there is fulness of joy and pleasures forevermore. Vision, fellowship and joy like that which Christ himself enjoys belong to the Christian whose life is hid with Christ in God. It is the place of absolute safety from all attacks of the evil one. None can reach Christ hidden in God and none can reach the Christian hidden with him. It is the place of safety from all the allurements of the world. The Christian walks through them unseeing, having his vision filled with the unseen. Standing in that place he endures as seeing him who is invisible. The safety of Christ is not more certain than the safety of one whose life is hidden with him in God. All the Christian has to do to enjoy the things that Christ enjoys, and to be satisfied with the satisfaction Christ has, is to open the eyes and look about in that wonderful place of satisfaction and safety which speaks of the Christian's standing. There is no struggle there, no discord, no fear, no fighting; but peace is there for heart and mind; harmony is there and rest and quiet that soothes and comforts as the believer rests in the God-given place. "The life that I now live in the flesh." Gal. 2:20. This is the place of constant, never-ceasing struggle and strife, but in which may be constant success and victory. Self, (which is but another name for the flesh), and Christ, can no more be mixed than oil and water. "The flesh lusteth against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary the one to the other." Gal. 5:17. As long as the Christian is in the flesh, so long will there be the struggle. Constantly will the flesh demand recognition and unless there be constant vigilance there will be making provision for the flesh and consequent defeat. The flesh cannot be changed by the coming of the Holy Spirit, however full the coming may be. Nor can the flesh be subdued by any set of rigid rules which might be adopted. It will remain wholly unchanged, the enemy of God and Christ, and will continue to war against the spirit. The only hope of success and victory is to do as the Lord directs, and reckon it to be dead. And a dead thing is to be buried and put out of sight. In spite of its power and vitality the Christian may, if he will, have constant victory through Christ. Each believer may say and say truly, "I can do all things through Christ." It is when the Christian attempts to secure victory through Christ aided by self that failure comes. It is hard for the believer to allow Christ to do it all, but only as he is so allowed, will freedom and success for the life lived in the body be realized. "I am no more in the world, but these are in the world," John 17:11. This is the place of service with him. His promise, "Lo, I am with you always," is given to the servants who go forth at his command. As long as the Christian is in the world he is in the place of service as Christ was. To render acceptable service, and service which will bring results in honoring the Lord, there must be a certain separation from the friendship and ways of the world. As the Christian takes the place of a stranger and foreigner to the world, there comes to him the experience the master had and he delights to do the will of God. He enters into the endeavor of Christ to show forth the Father and bear the ambassador's message to the world, and he enters into a close, warm fellowship with Christ in all his service for the world. The Christian's life in the world is one of constant service. Not the servant of the world but the servant of the Lord. Many seem to live and work as though they were servants of the world and therefore they appear to try to carry favor with it. But the believer must ever remember truly that "he who would be the friend of the world is the enemy of God." We are not to seek the friendship either of the good, moral and religious world, nor of the bad, immoral and irreligious world. All alike, until yielded to the demands of Christ, are the enemies of God. To serve acceptably there must be entire separation. Hidden in God the believer's life is in the place of constant safety, in the flesh is the place of constant struggle, and in the world is the place of constant service. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (By O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) (Copyright, 1916, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 17 PRISONER IN THE CASTLE. LESSON TEXT—Acts 22. GOLDEN TEXT—He is my refuge and my fortress—Ps. 91:2. Paul was rescued from the mob by the prompt action of Lysias, and was saved from scourging by revealing his Roman citizenship (21:27-22:29). Every true life, real social service, patriotism and national righteousness rest upon the value of conversion to Christ. The fundamental message of the Christian church must always be regeneration. With this message Billy Sunday is gripping the large cities, and Dr. John R. Mott is reaching the student life of the world. I. Paul's Account of His Early Life (v.1.5). By his use of the Greek tongue he obtained permission to deliver this address, and by his wise use of the Jewish language he gained the attention of the excited crowd. Paul asserted his Jewish origin. (Acts 21-39). Tarsus, where he was born, had a university which rivaled those of Athens and Alexandria, and Paul had probably heard its great philosophers. Paul was an educated man; he was brought up in Jerusalem from his early boyhood at the feet of Gamaliel its greatest teacher. Thus his religious training was according to the law of the fathers, and as "touching the righteousness which is of the law," he was blameless (Phil, 3:6). He was zealous for God, doing what he thought he would have him do even when "persecuted this way," the way of forgiveness, salvation and righteousness. Jesus said, "I am the way." Paul was at this time an instrument in the hands of the rulers, carrying out their plans, but he exceeded them in his zeal for "the traditions of our fathers" (Gal. 1:14). He was not at all like those Pharisees whom Christ condemned as "white sepulchers." He was not what we would term today, "a bad man." II. Paul's Turning Point - vv. 6-21 Paul seems to pick out three different crises in this rehearsal. (1) His interview with Christ, when he saw Jesus as he really was in his glory, a living risen Savior (Cor. 9:1; 15:8). He had positive proof of the resurrection from the dead. This proof convicted him of sin. He had heard Jesus call. He had asked Jesus what he would have him to do. He was ready to obey, and something was given him to do. The light which he met on that journey arrested him in his mad course. The voice gave him his directions. In obedience to the command, "Arise and go," he gained knowledge and skill. (2) He lights upon his interview with Ananias (v. 14) where he received personal help from an experienced Christian. In the darkness and conflict of those three days of loneliness the questions must have been: Could he leave rank, honor, friends? Could he enter the service of the despised one and suffer reproach, danger and death? During this conflict he must have had before him the vision of what God would have him to, and for which he chose him (vv. 16-18). His vision and commission constituted a strong motive for right decision. During the vision he came into the light, and confessed his faith by his baptism. As a result of three days and his interview with Ananias he came to know God's will more fully. The next step was of course (3) his public avowal (See Acts 2:38; 10:22; Rom. 10:13; I Cor. 6:11). The purpose of Paul's whole life and mission was changed. III. Paul's Dangerous Position (vv. 20-30). The mob gave him audience until his words about the Gentiles. His declaration that God had commanded him to go upon a mission to the Gentiles as an offense to the Jews, and his words fell like a "spark upon an inflammable mass of fanaticism." They broke out into a frenzy of excitement, and made preparations to stone him. An Oriental mob is hideous beyond degree, howling, yelling, cursing, gnashing their teeth, flinging their arms, casting off their garments (v. 23), throwing dust into the air to relieve their excitement and to express their excercitation. It was a manifestation of their uncontrollable rage. The opposition of a mob is no proof that the person it curses is wrong. Immediately preparations stopped. The commander was called, and, learning that Paul was a free-born Roman citizen, he had cause to be afraid that he had gone too far. To assert Roman citizenship falsely was punishable with death. The chief captain told Paul that with a great sum he had obtained his Roman citizenship, but Paul's reply was "But I am Roman born." Paul was well cared for after this, and, in order to find out why the Jews were so opposed to him, the captain summoned the Sanhedrin to meet the following day, thus unconsciously giving Paul another opportunity to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul indeed was ready to be bound, and also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. He knew how his Lord had been bound (John 18:12), and he rejoiced in the fellowship of his sufferings (Phil. 3:10) yet he claims his right as a citizen for there is no need of morbidly seeking unnecessary disgrace or pain.

"The Colored American Winning His Suit" New Five Reel Drama Written, Directed, Acted and Produced By Negroes, Will Be Shown at the Movie Theater. rage 8 Thomas James, manager of the Moyie Theater and Rialto Skydome has secured another big colored picture for his patrons. Mr. James is always striving to show the best play out and has been offering real 10 and 20 cent attractions all summer for 5 cents. Only recently he sent to California for an all Colored picture which was such a success that he has decided to re-book it shortly. Now he has secured another entitled "The Colored American Winning His Suit," which will be shown at the Movie Theater, on Market near Jefferson, next Monday, Sept. 18. Also at the Rialto Skydome; if the weather permits. This picture comes direct from New Jersey, has created a sensation in the spot and was secured by Mr. James at a great additional expense. "The Colored American Winning His Suit" is a wonderful motion picture, the first and only five-reel drama written, directed, acted and produced by Negroes. It was produced by the Frederick Douglas Film Co. The Story in Brief At the end of the Civil War, Moses Wingal found himself free, rented a farm from his former master, Evans, and was earning a good living for his two children, Bob and Bess. Desiring to NEW MOVIE THEATRE MARKET NEAR JEFFERSON THE WOODSMAN HOBART BOSWORTH IN "THE YAQUI" Sunday, September 17 "THE YAQUI" A Blue bird photo play in five parts. Thrilling tale, showing the terrors of the Yaqui Indians at the hands of the villainous Mexicans. By Special Request "THE REALIZATION OF A NEGRO'S AMBITION" Will be repeated soon. Every Wednesday, "Liberty," the great patriotic serial of the Mexican borders. Every Thursday, "The Girl From Frisco." Every Friday, "Grip of Evil." COMING TO THE COMET THE FOLLY OF DESIRE "The Folly of Desire," another Red Feather photo play, a wonderful picturization of an old biblical story, modernized, will be shown at the Comet next Tuesday. This play is tense, emotional and unusually powerful. It is an extraordinary play of the Boer Country and is filled with heart interest, love, cruelty and justice. Every Wednesday "LIBERTY" Every Saturday "BEATRICE FAIRFAX" Coming Soon "THE CRIMSON STAIN" The Pendleton PENDLETON & FINNEY Every Monday "LIBERTY" Every Wednesday "THE GIRL FROM FRISCO" Every Friday "GRIP OF EVIL" Sunday—"As a Woman So&s," five parts.

C., and his daughter to the Spellman Seminary, Atlanta, Ga. Later Bob becomes a lawyer, and Beasie a public school teacher. What follows afterwards and how Bob wins his first case in the court, defending his finance's father, who was indicted by the Grand Jury for stealing, and exonerates him, makes this photoplay the best ever produced to inspire the Negro with a desire to climb higher in good citizenship, business, education and religion. The Object of This Photoplay The picture aims to offset the evil effects of certain photo plays that have labeled the Negro and criticized his friends. To bring about a better and more friendly understanding between the white and Colored races. To show the better side of Negro life. To inspire in the Negro a desire to climb higher in good citizenship, business, education and religion. It is highly endorsed by pulpit and press. There is nothing like it on the screen. Don't fail to see it at the Movie, and if weather permits, at the Rialto, next Tuesday. THEATRES BOOKER WASHINGTON NEVER HAD BETTER SHOW THAN THIS WEEK'S BILL If ever the Booker Washington Theater should be crowded to the doors, and admirers of good vaudeville standing on the sidewalk clamoring to get in, this is the week. Mr. Turpin has assembled a show that equals the best this popular theater has ever offered; a better bill could not be expected by the patrons. It is an all-feature program beaming with artistic class. The DeCoursey Brothers open the show with a series of classical statuary imitations that are interpreted with grace and rhythm. Many of the formations require unusual athletic skill. The act is a beautiful study in real art and the audience shows much appreciation by offering frequent applause. Miss Fannie Wise never sang sweeter than she is doing this week. Her wonderful voice is further embellished by an ease of discursive expression that fairly electrifies her hearers with the delightful effect. She well merits the fervent applause and encores accorded her. The Three Marshall Sisters present a gingery act full of tuneful melodies, graceful movements and sprightly dances. Two of the sisters are well known stage favorites. Miss Nina is the wife of Salem Tutt Whitney, of Smart Set fame. Miss Ethel has always been admired in the presentations of that company. Each number they offer this week is a decided hit and their closing conversational song leaves the audience in a storm of applause. Pennell and Holden keep the audience in an upright throughout their act. The lady is an eccentric soubrette with an originality of actions, that keep the house in a fit of hysteries. The act is replete with a line of exaggerated humor, good dancing and comic songs. THE FILM MAKER DAINTY THERESA BURROUGHS BROOKS St. Louis has been ringing with a My Dreamy China Lady," since Dainty Theresa Burroughs Brooks scored such hit with the beautiful melody at the booster Washington last week. This little footlights favorite also created a sensation in her interpretations of the French terpsichore. She has always been a favorite here, primarily because of her art, but there is a closer tie 8y H. T. M.
