Attorney Vaughn Makes Jurors Weep Miss Idella Harris, of 6020 Louisiana Ave., was awarded a judgment of three thousand dollars Wednesday, November 15, by a jury in Judge Anderson's division of the circuit court. The suit was an action for false arrest against the Terminal Railroad Association, of St. Louis, for causing the arrest of Miss Harris on November 6, 1914. The case has been pending in the court since that time. The arrest of Miss Harris was on a charge of taking a suit case from the waiting room of the station, and was tried before the St. Louis Court of Criminal Correction and resulted in her acquittal. On the trial of the criminal charge, Miss Harris produced fifteen witnesses who accounted for her whereabouts during every hour of the day and proved conclusively that, at the time the suitcase was stolen, she was nowhere near the station. Immediately upon her acquittal, Miss Harris instructed her attorney to bring an action for damages against the Terminal, which was done asking for five thousand dollars actual and five thousand dollars punitive damages. The jury 'in Judge Anderson's Court awarded her $2,500 actual damages and $500 punitive damages. Miss Harris was represented in both courts by Attorney Goo. L. Vaughn, of 2336 Market St. While Attorney Vaughn was addressing the jury last Wednesday morning, several of its members wept at his portrayal of the wrongs which Miss Harris had suffered. This is the second big case which Lawyer Vaughn has won in the last few months. He, in company with Attorney Crittenden Clark, won a $25,000 damage suit for Undertaker Russell recently.

Mills Denies Election Charges I beg to write you concerning the unjust treatment accorded me and spread broad-cast over the city by the public. Mr. Mitchell, I am only too glad to know that you are willing to be fair and just. Consider my position. Political hatred on the part of men has caused the people of my home city, the people that have been grateful to me in everything in which I have taken part in a business way, to believe that I am ungrateful and undeserving. I want to put myself before you and the public as a young man and as a Negro "Fearless." One who has tried and tried hard to stand for my people and for something really worth while, regardless of the business I am engaged in. The charges are brought in a way so as to leave me powerless to defend myself. It is unfair. It is unjust. I flatly deny all and all of these unjust charges, and can prove that every charge made against me is false. Where are the men or man that I so wrongly treated election day! Not one to be found. The truth of the thing, Mr. Mitchell, I was home and sleeping from 11:45 a. m. until I was aroused by Mr. John Thomas, a friend, at 6:30, telling me of all the excitement that was laid at my door. Now, again, what would I be today if I had committed such acts, as tearing up ballots, using pistols and having people arrested by the wholesale? Surely, Mr. Mitchell, I am not bigger than the government. I have never been arrested in my life, and if I keep my right mind I never will. I am not pleading for sympathy as I stand alone in this unjust fight and if given a fair chance I will vindicate myself. I am not a quitter and promise to be here, if God spares me for years to come. This political hammer to drive me out of business is a hard blow to overcome and after a thorough investigations I am sure you and the public will not approve of the tactics used against me. The public is judge in this case, and I court investigation. Y.W.C.A. GAMPAIGN The regular monthly meeting of our committee of management was held Friday afternoon.

Some of the boys have already paid in full and each week other start payment on their subscription.

He appointed strong and influential men on all the committees, especially the "heads" of each. In retiring from the chair W. C. Gordon thanked the league for the confidence imposed upon him during the past three years, and stated that he would do all he could to attain greater success. Mr. H. Beeler, president of the Beeler Transfer Co. of Danville, IL., also made some encouraging remarks. Prof. A. E. Malone called the attention of the league to the fast that the state Teachers' Association would be in session here during the week, and stated that the league should take some part as an organization in entertaining the teachers.

A St. Louis afternoon daily paper publishes a lengthy article header "'Arkansas Cotton Bolk's Prosperity Brings Autos to Negro Tenants.'" The article tells of unexpected riches and mentions the names of several men and women who it claims are paying fabulous sums, for second-hand automobiles and pianos. Although the correspondent admits the Negroes are well stocked with provisions for the winter, the article is full of prejudiced sarcasm and the writer expects to see everyone broke when spring comes.

PRICE 5 CENTS "LITTLE GIRL NEXT DOOR" Great Photoplay Moral Sermon. With Thrilling Episodes Exposes Vice as It Actually Exists in Large Cities—Showed to 500,000 Persons in Chicago and Run for Eight Weeks at Grand Central Theater in St. Louis at 25c—Breaks All Attendance Records. Will Be Shown at Booker Washington Theater Next Week—First Time at Ten Cents—In Connection With Regular Vaudeville and Picture Program—Matinees Daily. "The Little Girl Next Door," a massive photoplay, depicting vice as it actually exists in large cities will be shown at the Booker Washington Theater one week, beginning Monday matinee, Nov. 20. This will be the first time this picture has been presented for 10 cents and the only opportunity that Colored people will have to see it. The play was shown in Chicago to over 500,000 persons and was run eight weeks at the Grand Central in this city at 25c. Mr. Turpin has plunged deeply in securing this picture, as it ranks with the most expensive ever produced. The story is merely a recital of the lives of several unfortunate girls, how they were trapped, and in some cases, rescued, in others forced to lead a life of shame, delivered into the pit and sold into a hideous bondage. It shows methods employed to trap young girls into a vicious life and emphasizes the necessity of young people being told of the dangers ahead. It is a great moral sermon. Every father and mother should see it in order that they may recognize the cunning pitfalls that are set for the feet of young girls in a great city. The play is virile, interesting and convincing. Its truth has not been made an excuse for vulgarity nor is there any wallowing in indecency in the tenderloin glimpses that are required to bring out the truth. It is not an imagination but a fact based upon reports of the Illinois vice commission. In order to accommodate the thousands that will wish to see this great picture, Mr. Turpin will show daily matinees, beginning at 12 o'clock, all seats 10 cents. At night the usual prices will prevail and the photoplay will be run in connection with the regular vaudeville and picture program. No one will be admitted under 16 years of age. The regular show will start Monday, night at 6 o'clock. This will include the sensational serial "The Yellow Menace" and an hour of high-class vaudeville. Clergyman Resigns Citizenship in a Country That Wants Wilson. Helena, Mont., Nov. 14.—The Rev. Francis von Clafenbeck, of Tillamook, Ore., has sent his naturalization papers and a letter resigning his citizenship to the district court clerk here. The letter in part said that to "see a man returned to power after an administration and policy such as we have seen during the past four years is too much for me." James Kent, a Pullman porter, living at 4229 Finney, avenue, performed a generous deed Tuesday morning, when he aided a destitute family passing through St. Louis from Texas to Granite City Ill. The family consisted of mother, father and four children and although the temperature was 16 above zero the oldest boy, about 10 years, was barefoot. Kent discovered them at Union Station and purchased a pair of new shoes for the lad. NEGRO LAWYER IS APPOINTED N. W. Pardon, Negro lawyer of East St. Louis, has been appointed an assistant state's attorney by Hubert Schaumieffel, of Belleville, who was elected on the Republican ticket Nov. 7.

LOYALTY recent campaign there was much for himself and love ones, and love the Negro, true to the Republic possible. He went to the polls and the part of Democratic Judge went to jail and counted it all joy. Republican City Committee had offered with any man in the exercise would be punished to the first confidence to many Negroes. Realty is yet in the minds of the men to see that those who intricate of his lawful rights will be feel that he has protection under the best opportunity for the show their Loyalty. During the recent campaign there was much said about Negro loyalty--loyal to himself and love ones, and loyal to the G. O. P. On election day the Negro, true to the Republican Party, did his duty as far as possible. He went to the polls and defied arrest and intimidation on the part of Democratic Judges and challengers. Many of them went to jail and counted it all joy for the sake of a principle. The Republican City Committee had issued a statement that anyone interfering with any man in the exercising of his lawful right of suffrage would be punished to the full extent of the law. This gave confidence to many Negroes. The word loyalty is yet in the minds of the Negro. He is expecting the party men to see that those who interfered with the Negro in the Exercise of his lawful rights will be punished. The Negro wants to feel that he has protection under the Republican banner and this is the best opportunity for the City and State Committee to show their Loyalty. BE NOT DISCOURAGED class of the Negro-American vot ed on the election of Hughes change and they wanted a. chan ce of President Wilson to the haling as proclaimed by Hughes. The great mass of the Negro-American voters had their heart and soul concentrated on the election of Hughes to the presidency. They needed a change and they wanted a change from the race proscription policy of President Wilson to the broader and wiser policy of fair dealing as proclaimed by Hughes. If they have lost Hughes this time, they need not be discouraged for "Truth crushed to earth will rise again, for the eternal years of God are hers." In this election the Negro did his duty. He stood solidly by the Republican party and if the Negro, North or South, had had free access to the ballot, Hughes would have been elected by an overwhelming majority. The Negro vote in the North is growing larger and larger because the Negro population, in large numbers, is migrging from the South to the North, and soon the vote which the South rejected will become the corner stone of Republican success in the North. But the Negro don't come North to vote, he comes North for work and better wages, for protection to his life, for better education for his children and for the free scope the North gives to all honorable ambitions. It is that idea that makes the Negro vote the Republican ticket and with a man like Hughes carrying its standard he stood manfully for the cause. THE MILLSTONE AROUND OUR NECK Wilson entered the campaign with 85 electoral votes from eight disfranchisement states practically already elected and counted. In these disfranchisement states there is no opposition party to the Democratic party that dare make any campaign or assert itself with force. This condition forms the menace that always places the National supremacy of the Republican party in danger. This election is a warning that the cause of Republicanism will be more and more hopeless unless this handicap of 85 electoral votes from the 8 disfranchisement states is removed. This only can be removed by the enforcement of the 14th Constitutional Amendment to reduce the Congressional representation and thereby split in half the electoral vote, from those states which disfranchise the Negro. Besides the 85 votes from Jim Crow States there are 71 votes from states which do not care to make a strong Republican campaign because of their close alliance with the disfranchisement and the hopelessness of making a canvass among them. This condition adds 71 to 85 and makes 156 electoral with which Wilson, or any Democratic presidential candidate may enter the field. This is a bad handicap to hold on Republican chances, and would not now exist had the Republicans foreseen that Negro disfranchisement meant finally Republican defeat. Look at the great states that Hughes carried---New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois etc., but here comes Wilson with 156 electoral votes up to the Northern border and only needed 110 more electoral votes to be re-elected president of the United States. Where Wilson needed to win only 110 electoral votes, Hughes had to fight for 266, every foot of ground of which to be contested. This is the comparative condition that the disfranchisement of the Negro has produced whether it be produced by violence, intimidation, fraud or legal subterfuges. In the name of common sense what will the Republican party do now? Lie supine under these untoward conditions "or take up arms against a sea of trouble and by opposing end them?" Will we enter the campaign of 4 years hence with this millstone still hanging around our neck, or will the party rely upon the second sober thought of the American people and expose this Southern fraud and violence? South of Mason and Dixon's line still remains the American curse; still is rampant the menace to free speech; still, wandering up and down like Satan, is the hydra-headed mob of ransh hate, seeking whom it may devour. We are anxious to correct conditions in Mexico, let us do some correction at home. Let us take the beam out of our own eye and then the mote in our mouth; we will not appear so large. THE ST.

A couple of thousand years ago the Roman with a taste for natural beauties and the charm of scenery would order his chariot or his litter or his horse to be ready in the morning for a visit to Tivoll, where perhaps he had a villa. The ride out to the Sabine mountains, on the west slope of which lies Tivoll, would require about half a day, sare on horseback, being very nearly 25 miles. Thus to go to Tivoll was no mere hasty excursion, but an event calling for preparations and anticipated with the keenest pleasure. Today Tivoli is more easily reached. A steam tram runs out from Rome and lands the passengers in about an hour and a half. The railway line from Rome to Naples passes through Tivoli and makes the run in about an hour. By motor one can reach the scene of ancient Roman holidaying in three quarters of an hour if the road is fairly free of obstructions. If, however, the highway across the Campagna is well occupied with traffic, the motor must slow down and the chauffeur must call loudly and frequently with his horn for carters to make way for passage and even to rouse from slumber to guide the horse, mule or donkey. Sometimes, as today in many cases, the driver sleeps through all the noise and the animal moves slightly to one side, while the motor is swung out upon the trolley track. Political opponents are beginning to find that why Mr. Hughes kept silence so long wasn't he had test his tongue. Another encouraging feature about our new navy is that when it is com- pleted, Mf. Daniels will not be Secre- tary of it. Having discovered that the Democr ats don't like what he is saying, Mr. Hughes doubts it is convinced that he is on the right track. culiarly her own!—'E.

"Mrs. Porter's stage graces combined with her brilliant dramatic voice produce a wonderful effect."—Major N. Clark. Smith, formerly bandmaster of Tuskegee Institute. "Mme. Porter's impersonations are a special delight and inspiration to the children." WHAT'S THE USE? "My dear," said Mr. Scadson, "these reckless expenditures of yours must cease." "To what do you refer?" asked Mrs. Scadson. "Well, for instance, that fur coat you are wearing. According to this bill it cost eight hundred dollars." "Men never do appreciate what women do for them," replied Mrs. Scadson, in the verge of tears. "For a whole week I fought the temptation to buy another coat I liked better, priced nine hundred and fifty dollars, and finally took this one because I wanted to save you money." Natural Deduction. "That woman," said Herlock Shomes, the great detective, "has evidently heard that lemon juice is good for the complexion." "Cause why?" asked old Dock Watson.

Chapman) Bidney Ward was on the road to success and was both grateful and modest. He had only one care in life — Myra. He did not know if Myra Dalworth knew her mind. He loved her, however, She was kindly and gracious, but he had a rival, Gene Partin. This was quite a come-down for that free-and-easy spendthrift, but he managed to maintain an automobile and wear good clothes, boasting of a rich uncle in another state and a prospective helship. He had a pleasing way and was popular and Myra's family rather favored him in preference to Sidney, but the latter had heard of some wild doings of his in the city, and, leaving all personal hopes aside, would have grieved to see him the husband of a bright, insevent girl like Myra. Sidney was delighted when Myra and a girl friend, both considerably interested in charitable and humanitarian work about the city, came to his office one day. Myra had a stair of pa- A A Poorly Clad Stranger Shuffled Into the Room. per in her hand on which a name and number were written. She handed it to Sidney. "Mr. Mayor," she said, "we have come to ask a favor of you in line with the uplift work of our society." "Jerome Boyce, 971," read Sidney, "wants a position, I suppose—most of my applicants do." "No, no, Mr. Mayor," explained Myra, quite on her malediction dignity in treating of official business—"we want a pardon." "For this man!" inquired Sidney. "Yes, Mr. Mayor. He has been set at breaking stone. He is old, ill, has friends he can go to. His offense was drinking to excess and Mr. Partin—" "You mean Mr. Justice of the Peace," reminded Sidney with a smile. "If not, why distinguish in your selection of stiff official names?" "But a justice is not a mayor," observed Myra, with an expression on her face that emphasized the estimation in which she held his lofty dignity. "Besides, it is a good deal to ask you to turn loose a man on the community who was in the past at least a confessed criminal." "And you have assured yourself that this Jerome Boyce is worthy of leniency?" interrogated Sidney with businesslike gravity. "Oh, indeed, yes," replied Myra promptly. "I—I vouch for him." "That is a full guarantee for this department at all times," declared Sidney, and he felt rewarded by the most grateful glow in Myra's eyes as he filled in a pardon blank. M. B.

In loving memory of our, dear beloved mother and wife, Kattie Jackson. "The month of November again is here, To us the saddest of the year, It took from us the 15th day Our darling mother, away." "A precious one from us has gone, The voice we love is stillled Her place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled." Just one year ago today Since our darling mother passed away. O Lord, keep green the grave that lies Beneath the wide and starry sky; Keep sweet with sleep and give her rest, Whose hands are folded on her breast. A loving mother, true and kind, No one on earth like her' we'll find. God called her home, it was his will, But in our hearts, she lingers still. For all of us, she did her best, May God grant her eternal rest." Sadly missed by husband, daughters and grandchildren. In sacred memory of Allen Fields, who departed this life one year ago November 14th, 1915. God loves and knows best, so he took him to heaven with him to rest. The month of November again is here.

NOTICE TO ARGUS READERS Beginning Friday, Dec. 1, the subscription rate of the St. Louis Argus will be $1.50 per year, in advance. All who pay their subscription prior to that time will receive the benefit of the present $1.00 rate which will obtain until their year has expired. All who fail to pay up before Dec. 1 will be dropped from the list. This, however, will not exempt them from paying. All who are in debt to the Argus Publishing Company for papers received will be, according to the Federal law, held responsible and expected to settle the amount. The advance in the subscription rate has been necessitated by the high price of paper stock which has more than doubled during the present year. The constant rise in this material has caused much anxiety among publishers throughout the country. Various methods have been tried by the different publishers to meet the emergency. The subscription rate for many has been doubled; others have reduced the number of pages, while hundreds have been suspended. The Argus was the first modern Negro weekly to be offered to the public at $1.00 per year, and it is with reluctance that conditions necessitate an advance from that price. The publishers plan to keep up the high standard this paper has attained and to continue gradually improving its value as a news gatherer and advertising medium. This can only be done by meeting trade conditions. Remember, you can still take advantage of the $1.00 per year in advance rate, by paying your subscription before Dec. 1. We are satisfied our many thousand readers wish to see the Argus grow and that not only will subscriptions be immediately paid in advance of Dec. 1, but all who are in arrears will appreciate their duty and pay up. If one of our collectors does not call in a few days, send your money into the office or phone Bomont 1452, and one will be sent to you. HELP THE BLIND Buy Your Breeds and Mops From the Missouri Association for the Blind. Insist on Your Greeter 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 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. Handomely equipped trains—convenient hours of departure and arrival—all the comforts of modern service. A delightful trip—along cool rivers a great part of the way.

Made only by Jacob's Pharmacy, Atlanta, Ga. AGENTS WANTED By REV. JAMES M. GRAY, D.D. Dean of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT—Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some in—Hebrews 10:12. The weekly prayer meeting has been called the pulse of the church, but it is more; it is really the heart itself; it is the ideal church in worship; it is the church gathering of the Apostolic days. There were two forms of public worship among the Jews in Christ's day, the temple and the synagogue. The first was ritualistic and select in the sense that the priests and Le- PETER H. vites conducted it. The second was simple and democratic in the sense that all the people took part in it. There was only one temple and that was located in Jerusalem, but there was a synagogue in every town where as many as ten male Jews resided. Its order of service consisted merely in the reading of a portion of the law and the prophets, the chanting of a psalm and an extempore prayer. Then the meeting was thrown open, as we now say, and the people (the men at least) were at liberty to take part. The Christian church is, built, not on the model of the temple but the synagogue, as we see from Paul's first Epistle to the Corinthians where, at chapter 14, he is correcting certain disorders that had crept into the assembly because of the liberty thus granted to the people. A Popular Gathering. Our text applies to such a gathering as this. That is to say, the writer has in mind not a formal service, such as is represented at a Sabbath gathering in one of our present churches, but a popular gathering of the people where the meeting is thrown open for all to exercise their spiritual gifts. It is just such a gathering as a prayer meeting always ought to be. (1). He enjoins such an assembling of ourselves together as a duty to be obeyed. We ought not to forsake it, just as in other places God tells us not to commit murder, not to steal, not to be guilty of adultery, not to bear false witness, so here we are not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together. In other words it is a command that Christians cannot escape. (2). It is a privilege to be enjoyed, for the context tells us that thus by prayer we have "boldness to enter into the hollest by the blood of Jesus," and that we have "an High Priest over the house of God." This being the case, what blessings are we being denied if we thus forsake the assembling of ourselves together! Some of these blessings are of a very practical every-day sort. The Continent tells of a business house in Chicago which asked, a country correspondent to recommend a man for a responsible position. The reply was, "A young man passes my house every Wednesday evening, on his way to prayer meeting at precisely a quarter of eight. I like the looks of that. Shall I inquire further about him?" The result was a position at a salary larger than the young man ever dreamed of receiving. The editor added what is entirely true, that the prayer meeting habit is a good asset. The prayer meeting young man is likely to have the right basis of character. There are hypocrites there, but that is an evidence of the genuine. (3). It represents a need to be supplied, for the context says, "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering and, let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works." The relation of our Christian experience in the prayer meeting and the exhortation and appeal that accompany it, express our consideration for one another as brethren in Christ, and the result is stimulating unto love and to good works. It is thus that we are able to hold fast the profession of our faith. There was a man, the father of a family that attended my church at one time, who resisted all my appeals to win him to the Savior, and his wife told me he had resisted similar appeals from her former pastors. By and by on his death bed he accepted Christ and witnessed a good confession before his family and friends. One day I asked him what was the cause of his conversion, and found that he attributed it to no sermon he had ever heard, but to the testimony of an elderly woman in a prayer meeting in the country town where he lived more than 40 years before. He resided with an aunt who compelled him to go because she would not leave him alone in the house during her absence. He hated to go, but he had to go, and there he heard the testimony of this woman from which he had never been able to get away. Now that he was facing eternity it had moved him to receive and confess Christ. Let me urge you to stand by your church prayer meeting, and to do your part to make it of vital value. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago). (Copyright 1816, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 19 FROM MELITA TO ROME. LESSON TEXT—Acts 23:11-11 GOLDEN TEXT—I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God us to salvation to everyone that believeth—Rom. 1:16. In this lesson we see somewhat of the human side of Paul's character. No man appreciated fellowship more than he. Look up Acts 17:15; 18:5; I Cor. 7:6; I Thess. 3:1, 2; II Tim. 4:21. 1. The Sea Journey (vv. 11-14). Paul left Melita (Malta) probably February, A. D. 60. From there to Syracuse was a distance of between 80 and 100 miles. From the island of Syracuse (now a part of Italy) to Rhegium was one day's sail. From Rhegium to Puteolit was 180 miles. Puteolit (modern Pozzuoli) is in the Bay of Naples, eight miles from the modern city of Naples. Paul and his band who had done so much for the Maltese were specially honored with many honors. (v. 10.) In these verses we have a picture of Paul seeking out his brethren wherever he went, thanking God and taking courage as they came to meet with him and converse with him. It is a picture upon which we ought to ponder deeply and be grateful that it reveals to us a side of Paul little known and appreciated. II. The Land Journey (vv. 14, 15). At Puteoli, Paul and his companions began their march to 140 miles to the city of Rome. After a march of 60 miles they reached the famous Appli Forum, i. e., "The market of Applus." Here Paul is met by the first delegation from the church at Rome, who were waiting to welcome him and Luke and escort them to the capital city. A second delegation met them at the Three Taverns, or "The Three Shops," as we would call stores in the modern sense. These Christians had come at no small cost, as they had to walk 46 miles to the Appli Forum and 33 to the Three Taverns, and then walk the same distance back to the city. Thus it was that the sight of these friends cheered Paul and he thanked God. We can well imagine the joy of those souls, the communion enjoyed by those pilgrims as they journeyed toward the imperial city. We can see in the letters which Paul wrote from Rome plain signs of his longing for sympathetic friends and can imagine how he must have felt upon being thus greeted on his journey. We can also imagine something of the blessing and inspiration which must have come to those Christians who met this famous soldier of the cross and had the privilege of escorting him to the city. III. In Rome (vv. 16-29). Having entered into the city the centurion Julius, who had become a friend of Paul, delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard. This officer we are told was a liberal-minded man, one of the few good people in the corrupt life of the city. Paul was probably first taken to the forum, which was the center of imperial power and magnificence and near which was the "house of Caesar." (Phll. 4.22.) Paul was not sent to prison for it was against the law to put a Roman into prison without a trial, but he was permitted to dwell by himself in "his own hired house." Of course, there was a soldier who guarded him. This was the city where Paul had so long desired to preach the Gospel. (Rom. 1:14-16.) As in other places, he first turned to the Jews, for he loved his own people no matter how much he had suffered at their hands. He got them together that he might preach unto them Jesus and sought to conciliate them. In Paul's preaching he always emphasized that a Messiah was risen from the dead as a guaranty of all other resurrections. In his day, as in this present one, there were those who spoke against this, and yet that resurrection was to conquer the world and to save it from moral ruin. Those present had had no word out of Juden. (v. 21.) At a later and a public meeting (v. 23) there came unto him, that is, into his lodgings, great numbers to whom Paul sounded the Gospel of the kingdom and gave his personal testimony. He proved out of the law of Moses and out of the prophets, common ground for them all, that the Messiah had truly come, the prophecies of the kingdom of God had been fulfilled, and that Jesus by his life and death and teaching had shown the Jews how perfectly the latter were fulfilled. This Paul did from morning till evening, following the same line as in his speech before Agrippa and in other places where he had been testifying. All of his explanations and testimonials centered in Jesus. It was no abstract mental theory for an improved order of society but a definite reign of a definite person. Jesus of Nazareth. Paul is a great example for any Bible student to follow. As on so many other occasions, Paul's preaching caused a division. (v. 28.) And again he turns to the Gentiles. (v. 28.) Paul told them plainly what lay at the root of their unbelief (v. 27), and though they refused the salvation it was none the less of God. Church Directo --- St. James A. M. E.

GALL STONES HOME (No Off) Liver, Stomach & Ball Progiles FREE Liver, Stomach & Ball Progiles BALL CLOSE MEDICAL BOOK 219 S. North St. Orange --- THEATRES Nichols Sisters and Chief Tendonheu, An Indian, Two High Class Acts in Booker Washington Show This Week. The Nichola Sisters are a pleasant surprise at the Booker Washington this week. Their act serves to introduce excellent talent in an original way which creates a delightful impression. Little does one expect to discover in the old mammy character, potrayed by one of the members, a wonderful sweet and tender voice with the development and execution of a prima donna. Yet this is so, and her rendition of the ballad "Rose in the Bud" fairly electrifies the audience. In the other character, that of an ambitious young girl, one finds a graceful dancer and an excellent singer as well. Pathos and humor are cleverly mixed in the little playlet, and all closes happily with both singing and dancing "Shimme Shawabble." The act well deserves the generous applause given. Chief Tendéhou, an Indian performer, first appears in a richly melodious basso solo and immediately scores a hit. Next we are taken to a trapeze where this actor undresses to tights, while hanging in mid air by his teeth. A marvelous performance of balancing and contortions in the rings follows and a display of muscle development which seems almost uncanny. He closes whirling swiftly while hanging parallel by neck and feet in the rings. The act is a high-class novelty and goes big with the patrons. Philip Giles, still selling the salve and reading his well-known testimonials, is quite humorous, especially to those who have not seen him before. Cole and Cole are a feeble effort at entertaining with songs, jokes and dances. They are doing better than their first appearance Monday night, as several weak spots in their act have been eliminated. "The Trooper of Company K," a photophyton based on the famous Tenth Cavalry light in Carrizal, Mexico, is being shown this week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights only.
