St. Louis Argus

FACTORIES MUST CLOSE IF CANNOT GET NEGRO HELP Managers State That No Concerns Of Any Importance In the Country Can Exist Without Colored Labor. Situation Grows Alarming. Negroes Have Returned To Work and Plants Running Full Force. Trouble Started By Men Trying To Unionize Factories. East St. Louis Suffers Big Financial Loss. All Negroes Advised To Return. The riot in East St. Louis has quieted down to an absolute calm. Negroes are circulating freely on the streets and there are no more cases of discriminations and intimidations by the mob, police or militia being reported. Protests to the governor last week brought the Adjutant General to the scene of the trouble. He immediately began investigation of the charges that members of the militia were not only discriminating against the Negro, but were actually going into their homes and driving them out and away from East St. Louis. Two of the victims, who reported to a committee of citizens in St. Louis, were taken back and their testimony given. The adjutant told the St. Louis delegation that he had heard much evidence and that Col. E. P. Clayton, who is in command of the East side militia, was "in bad at Springfield." An Argus reporter, who visited the scene of the riot this week, found everything apparently quiet. Col. Clayton was so confident that the trouble was over he had announced he would request the militia be withdrawn: This confidence, however, was not shared by the business interests. There is a feeling that the quietude was only above surface and the withdrawal of the guardsmen would be a signal for fresh riots. No Fatalities in Riot The East Side authorities state that no lives were lost in the recent riot. There were several injured, of which the Negroes were in the majority. The business men have awakened to the fact that East St. Louis, as a city, is the main sufferer. Not only has her pride and prestige been affected, but her inducements to new manufacturing plants have been checked and small business has lost several thousand dollars in monthly incomes. The furniture houses are packed with furniture returned by Negroes, who have left the city and their goods must now be sold at second-hand prices. Men Have Returned to Work At the packing plants in the stock yards district the reporter found operating conditions again normal. Although about 750 men did not report at the three plants during the trouble, they have all returned to work now. One of the managers stated that the men who were at the plants when the mob broke loose were kept there, fed and lodged for three days and nights. Further investigation uncovered the real cause and perpetrators. of the mob. About thirty-five per cent of the employees are Colored. The others are white, who do not belong to a union. The trouble dates back to the strikes of 1904 and 1916. The unions are trying to unionize the plants, but realize they must drive out the heavy Negro employment before they can hope to be successful. The Negroes are not taking the places of white men. Some have been there for years. All men get paid so much per hour, regardless of color. Wages range from 23-12 cents to 57-12 cents per hour, or $2.35 to $5.75 per day. There is a shortage of good, skilled white help and members of the riot gang consist of a class who are not skilled or are too indolent to work. Plants Cannot Operate Without Negro Help The managers of the different plants all state positively that their firms must close down if they cannot keep their Negro help. One manager said to our reporter, "No manufacturer of any importance in the country today can get along without Colored help. There is and will be a still greater shortage of white help. There is room for all Colored men who want to work and in my opinion it is not far distant when this country will have to import Chinese labor. I advise the Negroes to come back to East St. Louis and stay. I believe the better thinking class of citizens now realize the need of fostering Negro labor and the government is now prepared to forestall any plot or effort to incite future trouble." The above opinion is indorsed by the expressions of other manufacturers, interviewed by the reporter. Several firms in St. Louis are appealing for Negro labor and a new district to be built up with sanitary homes for the comfort of the newcomers is being planned. NEGROES COMING TO ST. LOUIS CAN FIND IMMEDIATE EMPLOYMENT Any married man, arriving in St. Louis, seeking profitable employment, can secure same by reporting to J. O. Farris, 19 N. Jefferson Ave., who will give him work at once. Argus Editor is Injured By Auto J. E. Mitchell, Managing Editor of St. Louis Argus, suffered an accident last Friday, by being run down by an automobile, truck, at Jefferson and Clark Ave. His injuries consist of sprains and bruises of both knees and ankles and a flesh wound on the face which necessitated the surgeon's needle. He is resting quietly at his residence, 3113 Pine St., under the skillful care of his family physician, Dr. Samuel P. Stafford. His physician states that his patient is out of danger and a speedy recovery is expected.

SIMMONS TELLS SOUTH HOW TO STOP MIGRATION Says True Blues Must Cut Up Lyncher's Rope and Put Out the Torch of the Mob: Throw Open Doors of Education, Grant Justice in Court, Give Them the Ballot and a Part in the Government Special to the Argus: Little Rock, Ark., June 2.—Before one of the largest audiences that ever gathered in this city Roscoe Conkling Simmons, delivering the commencement address for the Gibbs High School, laid down the terms upon which Negro migration to the North can be stopped. The audience was mixed, many of the wealthiest white people of the city braving a fierce storm to pay their respects to the famous Negro orator. No braver words were ever uttered before a southern audience than those that fell from the lips of the speaker. He drew surprising applause from the whites, and, of course, kept his own people in a constant uproar. Coming direct from Memphis, the burning there had evidently annoyed him, for in a great burst of eloquence, he declared that "this wonderland called America is the open door. No man can shut it; the lyncher's rope cannot stay its hinges, nor the torch of the mob burn it away." Talking about the exodus of the Negro, about which the whites had come to hear, he said: "The hand of war has led ten times ten thousand of my people to seek new homes, and tens of thousands more are eager to follow on. "Their leaders make mistakes, but the people do not make mistakes. They follow an Unseen Hand. "We love our South, and we would stay to till and possess the soil, erect our homes, rear the children, and grow mighty in the place of our nativity, but we know that anywhere beneath the Stars and Stripes is 'Home, Sweet Home' to us. "I can say for my people that we will stay. The white race asks for terma. I will relate them. "We will stay if the doors of education are thrown open to the children; if judges speak the language of law, and courthouses become temples of justice; if we are given a part in the government we are taxed to maintain, and the ballot is put in our hands. "We will stay if the true-blues will cut up the lyncher's rope and put out the torch of the mob." TO THE AGENTS OF THE MADAM C. J. WALKER MANUFAC- TURING COMPANY You are hereby notified that a national convention of the Walker agents will be held in Philadelphia on August 30, 31, inclusive. At this meeting many important matters with reference to the future plans of the company will be discussed and explained. Madam Walker is greatly interested in her agents, in their successes and their failures, being extremely anxious to help them, and is now going over plans for the placing of her great manufac-turing enterprises on an operative basis so that her agents will share in the profits of the same, all of which will be fully explained at the national convention. Madam Walker has offered five hundred dollars ($500) in prizes which will be given out as follows: To the agent sending in the largest number of new agents fifty dollars ($50); to the agent sending in the largest number of new agents over twenty-five (25), one hundred dollars ($100); to the agent selling the largest amount of goods, first prize, seventy-five dollars ($75), second prize fifty dollars ($50); to the agent returning the largest number of empty boxes over one thousand (1,000) twenty-five dollars ($25), and to the club selling the largest amount of goods, one hundred dollars ($100) first prize, second prize, seventy-five dollars ($35), and third prize, twenty-five dollars ($25). This contest will close by August 1, 1917. Prizes will be given at the convention on August 30, 31, inclusive. All who wish to enter the contest please send their names at once to the main office, 640 North West Street, Indianapolis, Indiana, that they may be properly listed. All those who cannot enter the contest this year are urged to arrange to enter it next year, as this will be an annual, affair. All who wish to expect to attend the national convention, write Mrs. Margaret Thompson, 1504, North Twenty-first Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. Rev. Shaw Will Make His 7th Annual Report Rev. Shaw Will Make His 7th Annual Report JOHN H. HARRIS Rev. Benj. Garland Shaw, D. D., is to make his seventh annual report June 13 in Kansas City, Mo. Although he has been in St. Louis six and one-half years, he is making his seventh report, because the Missouri Conference, which was a fall conference, has been changed to a spring conference. He has grown stronger and stronger as the years passed by and he is today one of the best beloved ministers by whites and blacks, Zionites and Christians in general that can bedound in all Missouri. The remonstrance that withheld the opening of the moving picture show in the old Jewish Synagogue, across the street from his church, of which he labored so vigorously and which caused him to be sued for $10,000, brought victory, not only to the people of the Metropolitan Church, but to the face. Letters and telephone congratulations have poured in upon him because of his fearless attacks upon the evils in his community and in explaining his attitude toward the evils that are imposed upon us, it matters not from what source they come, he would fight them. He said that monuments were not reared at the graves of cowards, but heroes, who showed iron in their blood and grit in their craw. He is still the favorite of the common people. His friends hope and pray, that when the conference shall have closed in Kansas City that it will be fanned over St. Louis that the Rev. Shaw, who is destined to become a Bishop in the African Methodist A. M. E. Zion Church, has been returned to the pastorate of the great Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church of St. Louis, which is the headlight of Zion Methodism westward. Report of Grand Court H. of J. Missouri Jurisdiction Report of Grand Court H. of J.

MADAM WALKER VISITS FORMER INDIANA HOME World's Most Wonderful Colored Woman, in Indianapolis. Interesting Glimpses Caught During Interviews. Building a Home of Steel, Tile and Stucco on the Hudson. Will Be Left as Legacy to the Colored Race By Wm. Lewis. While very much has been said of Madam Walker, the well known hair culturist, none too much has been said of her as a business-woman, of her charitable side, of her Christianity and womanly attributes. Indeed, it will be difficult to even imagine a woman of the Negro race who so fully meets all of the demands of womanhood as it is conceived to be at its best. She has done so much, accomplished so much, amassed so much wealth and in the meanwhile being such an upright woman that many of her own race have had their doubts about the truthfulness of it all. Madam Walker is a reality; no dream. White publications speak of the achievements and successes of the members of their race. The Sunday papers team with individuals of the kind, and because everyone wishes to know of those who have done things. The madam is the most remarkable Colored woman of the world today. It may not be generally conceded, but it is true just the same. If we think of our race apart from the white people, and of our poor opportunity to amass wealth, then she easily equals the great millionaires of the white race. In fact, she is making rapid strides toward the millionaire class, regardless of her race, being safely beyond the half million mark at this time. The amassing of wealth is a distinction in itself even if the separate moralists say otherwise. The individual of wealth is of interest to all. The world is eager to know the ways of the rich; that they are of our race gives them extra distinction. So when I, as a representative of the Freeman, the leading publication of the race, made it my business to call on Madam Walker, I had in mind her various great qualities, holding that she is due publicity, and as much for her race's sake as for her own. I found her rather reticent, modest in what she had to say. I found her a real woman, without affectation and airs. She is splendidly poised; wears her wealth and honors with ease—seeming as if she had all for all of the years. She is of good education, but does not try to attract attention to herself on account of it. Much of her education was self-acquired, and the better for her, since she took on the qualities that she saw she stood mostly in need of it. In short, she birthed herself in this respect, and she made a most excellent job it. Madam Walker can hold her own in any gathering of women. Her charities are now an old story; she gives right and left, and in good substantial ways. It is a part of her religion—almost a fetish with her. Her belief that the Lord loves a cheerful giver is so strong that one feels like smiling at the simplicity. She gives liberally; she gives in the Christian spirit—when it is not seen of men. During her recent trip south she said that she met a Colored family of seven for eight persons who had been arrested on a flimsy charge. They were on a train in charge of an officer. Their poor appearance exited her pity, so she called one of them inside and quietly slipped a ten dollar note which she had placed in one of her circulars into a small book which was carried by the prisoner. The officer in charge told her that she was not permitted to speak to prisoners. She told him that she had given the woman a circular, and then offered him, the officer, one. He accepted it good naturally and the matter ended. Since she has been in Indianapolis the madman has received a letter from the unfortunate woman thanking her for the splendid act. Thus in many instances she serves when "Butterfly in Hawaii" To B: Repeated The beautiful play, "A Butterfly in Hawaiii," will be repeated at the Pythian Hall Thursday, June 21. The cast has decided to give the public another chance to hear the play, because of an overwhelming demand. There will be good music and dancing after the production.

PRICE 5 CENTS NEGRO DRAFT HERE WILL REACH 1,500 7660 Registered On Tuesday. 500 Subjected To Conscription In First Call. OFFICERS TRAINING CAMP 64 St. Louisans Examined For Fort Des Moines Reserve Camp. More Than 4500 Officers Needed For Negro Soldiers. Missouri May Get Division Camp of 35,000 Men. More than. 53 per cent of all the men who registered in St. Louis Tuesday claimed exemption from draft. Although the total registration was not all in Thursday night, Mr. Green, who is assisting Acting Mayor Aloe, told the Argus that he expected the Negro registration would reach about 7,660. Those who failed to register Tuesday may enroll themselves during the next five or six days at the offices of the registration boards in each of the 28 wards. On the basis of 2,000,000 men to be drafted during the next year or so, about 1,500 Negroes will be drafted from St. Louis and 500 will be in the first call. The state of Missouri will furnish nearly 5,000 and the United States about 200,000; 65,000 Negroes will answer to the first call. MISSOURI MAY GET NEGRO CAMP The Negro, regiments will call for more than 4,500 commissioned officers. Two or three large camps will be established to train the soldiers. One of these camps will likely be given to Missouri because of its central location. There are 14 states included in this division. A division contains 30,000 to 35,000 men. TIME EXTENDED FOR APPLICATIONS TO OFFICERS CAMP St. Louis Enrollment Heavier Than Requirement. Prominent Citizens Examined The time for applications to the Colored Officers' Training Camp at Fort Des Moines has continued indefinitely, according to orders received by Major Goode, at the St. Louis Army Recruiting Office.

Wanted, just 10.00 men and women of our race to contribute 2c. and a little time in an effort to arouse the President, the Senate and Congress of the United States to the injustices that are being heaped upon the ten or twelve million Negroes in this country. This contribution maybe made in the form of a letter to any member of Congress or Senate that you may know, or directly to the President. When there comes to us, like waves of the sea; injustices, disfranchisements, class legislations and proscriptions; we can hear many inquiries of what are "you all" going to do about it? Now the question that we are putting up to you today is—What are you doing? Have you done your bit? We are, as a rule, too easy to leave to the other fellow the things we might do ourselves. Too often, we say nothing when we should cry aloud. "Silence gives consent, he that protesteth not is counted in the affirmative:" therefore we should protest; we should agitate, and all should use all lawful means to let the world know that we are not satisfied.

If you can't express it in the best language, there are hundreds who will do it for you. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. This is a crisis in the history of the world. Mouths that have been shut by oppression, have been opened by protest. It makes no difference where you are, and under what condition you are laboring, if you feel the burden of oppression, you should raise your voice in protest. Any letter addressed to the Argus will be sent to the proper authorities. RACE RIOT AFTERMATH. another article of this issue of the Argus we have give our readers a statement of the true conditions, since the recent race riot. v and order at this writing seem to have been conditions are normal, but the effects upon them is hard to be estimated. While the Negroes w the mob, their sufferings were but temporary has been restored, they have received their form In another article of this issue of the Argus we have endeavored to give our readers a statement of the true conditions in East St. Louis, since the recent race riot. Law and order at this writing seem to have been restored. Working conditions are normal, but the effects upon the industrial situation is hard to be estimated. While the Negroes were the victims of the mob, their sufferings were but temporary; and since peace has been restored, they have received their former positions and are more deeply rooted in, than ever before. The aftermath is rather encouraging from the Negroes' standpoint. It has revealed his worth to the manufacturing industries of the north; also the communities in which he lives. This fact is most strikingly brought out by a manager of one of the large concerns of that city, who stated that his firm nor any of the large firms of the country could successfully operate without Negro labor. It was also brought out that the United States Government will take a hand in future trouble, because all large concerns are contributors in some way to the prosecution of the war. That the communities suffer as well, is interestingly described in an editorial of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Sunday, June 3rd, which reads as follows: "East St. Louis is beginning to see the immediate consequences of the attacks made on its Negroes by a mob inflamed by race prejudice and inspired by ignorance. About 1000 Negroes have been driven from the city. These were not idlers. They were not parasites. They were honest workers. Many of them were doing a character of work about the packing plants which the average white-man refuses to do. But it is necessary work, and until other people can be found to do it the packing plants cannot operate. When the packing plants close, it not only throws hundreds of white men out of employment, with all that means to the business of the community, but it interferes with meat growers and meat consumers in a large area. No man nowadays lives to himself industrially, any more than he does morally." "The Negroes who have been driven from East St. Louis ate their bread in the sweat of their faces. They did not even stop at bread. Whatever fault may have been found with the Negro, he has never been accused of parsimony. Too often his expenditures exactly equal his income. The Negroes are good spenders and they pay cash. The merchants and the landlords estimate that loss of these 1000 Negroes means a weekly shrinking of about $18,000 in business receipts. None of the mob have shown any disposition to make this shrinkage good." None of them have offered to fill the enforced vacancies. They are not even trying to find places for the white men thrown out of employment as a result of lack of men to do disagreeable though necessary labor. "The city has also suffered in its industrial reputation. It is impossible to measure this loss. It is fortunate that the constituted authorities made an effort to keep the mob under control, for this proves that the foes of law and order are not in full charge. Determined prosecution of participants in the riot will go, still further to restore the prestige of East St. Louis in the eyes of the outside world." Of course most of those who fled from East St. Louis, during the riot have returned to their homes and vocations and are satisfied. According to the best information gathered by a reporter for the St. Louis Argus, none of them have returned to their former homes in the south. In his eloquent address before the United Confederate Veterans' Re-union at Washington, D.C., President Wilson said: "We are in the war and are fighting for human rights." The President was eit her ignorant of the real conditions that exists in this country or he is a deliberate hypocrite. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS THE WORK HOUSE RIOT. In a riot which occurred at the work house Thursday, started by a white prisoner who threw a stone at a Negro, we are informed that another white prisoner jerked a shot gun away from one of the guards and assisted by one of the guards succeeded in wounding eleven Negroes. This demands a thorough investigation. Co-incident with the riot in East St. Louis, The Cotton Growers Association of the south had agents on the ground distributing literature inviting the Negro back south, offering better treatment and higher wages. How would a liberty bond look in a home where there is NO LIBERTY? Continued from page 1. order was given. This district of 14 states is to furnish 195 men. There have been 66 applicants here, of which 63 have passed the examinations, two held over and one rejected. This is much larger than the required number from St. Louis, but the office here will continue to receive and examine applicants. Major Goode and Captain Craigy both asserted that the class of applicants was satisfactory, except that not enough men over 30 years of age had volunteered.

THE CASCADE STUDIO 4327 West Bells In spite of the continuous rain last Wednesday evening, May 30, a most enjoyable time, as is usual, was had by the patrons of the Cascade Studio at 4327 West Belle. Many now faces were noticeable among the guests. An elegant cut glass fruit bowl was given free to Mrs. F. Roberts, of 4310 Fairfax, the recipient being fortunate in holding the prize number 77. Miss Smith announces that something useful and valuable will be given away free one evening each month. The date will always be given in due time in the papers. ST. JAMES CHURCH The auditorium and lecture room of St. James Church were packed Sunday morning to hear Pastor Peckr who prefaced a forceful and logical sermon from St. John 1:42. Theme: "The Christian's Highest Privilege." The waiting congregation sat with bated breath, eagerly drinking in every word as it fell from the lips of this great divine. His portrayal of the unselfish character of Andrew, who after finding Christ sought his brother, Simon Peter, that he might be saved, was so vivid and his earnest appeal to Christians to imulate the example of this great biblical character was so impressive, when the invitation was extended many Christians spoke to friends, with the result that three registered for Christ. The evening service was largely attended. There were three accessions, making a total of six during the day. The Pew Rally in the Senior Endeavor under the management of Mrs. Ella Jones was a decided success. The district superintendent, Miss Minnie Ross, was the guest of honor, and made very interesting and instructive remarks. Children's Day will be observed in Sunday school June 10. The mothers are urged to be present at 9:30 a.m. The Third Quarterly Meeting will be held Sunday, June 10. Dr. Johnson, pastor of St. Paul's Church, will preach the sacramental sermon. You are cordially invited to attend all the services. We are glad to report Miss Marguerite Stewart, who has been seriously ill, convalescent. CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH.

The sisters of the church will meet in a general Sisterhood meeting on this coming Monday night. Pastor Stevens will preach morning and night. The morning subject is, "A Queen Hunting Light."

During the summer the choir will render a special song service. Mrs. Lillian Morris of the choir will render the special feature on Sunday night. The pastor has a strong ally in the choir. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Miss Sada M. Pillow We had a large number out at our church Sunday morning and evening to greet our new pastor, and his family. Rev. O. C. Maxwell preached an excellent sermon, which was enjoyed by the entire congregation, and they expressed their appreciation of the pastor's sermon in many ways. He was introduced to the congregation by Rev. Father Cole. Maxwell now has full charge of our congregation, and will fill the pulpit Sunday morning. Rev. R. H. Cole was presented a Gold Medal by Mrs. Eva Bolden. This medal was given him by the church through the influence of Mrs. M. Craven and Mrs. Anna Horn, and serves to show him how we remember and appreciate his labor with us at all times. The medal was pinned upon Rev. Cole by Deacon H. H. Jones. We had a warm-hearted communion service Sunday, with three additions to the church. All are cordially invited to our services. McPHEETERS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, GOODE AND COTE BRILLIANTE AVENUE All who were present at McPheeters Presbyterian Church, last Sunday, enjoyed the splendid sermon preached by the pastor, Rev. Washington, who has been out of the city nearly three weeks.

Building Fund Grows. Rivalry Among Teams Continues Gradually but surely the building fund for the new Y. M. C. A. continues to grow. Digging along in a most persistent manner, the team men are pushing forward the fund. Team 17, of which C. H. Turner is captain, during the last week has increased its lead over its competitors to such an extent that they are now $260 ahead of team 14, which was captained by Dr. T. A. Curtis. Like clock work the members of team 17 seem to work. On Saturday the captain came in with a report of $52 as his collection and then as if not to be outdone, F. P. Blair, of team 17, who is by all odds the champion worker, came in with a check for $100 from Mrs. Eliza Armstrong, his aunt. This brings the total of Mr. Blair's collections up to $800, which is to use slang. "going some." Captain I. H. Bradbury is leading his team to the front. They are now in fourth place and at each pay day of the city employees, team 18 goes up a peg. On Wednesday of this week the men at the stables added to their fund in a way that shows determination to make good on their pledges. To help on this drive for the building fund the railroad men of the city are to have a big mass meeting of railroad men on Sunday, June 17. This meeting promises to be unique and most interesting. Mr. T. A. Crenshaw, one of the oldest and most energetic of the Pullman employees, will have charge of the arrangements for the meeting. Mr. Jas. H. Thomason, who is also one of the influential men among the Pullman employees, will preside. Along with these Building Fund activities the Y. M. C. A. is using its machinery to promote the membership in the Cardinal Knot Hole Gahg. Passes are given to boys between the ages of ten and sixteen, who agree to the following principles: (1) Not to skip school in order to attend a game; (2) not to attend a game against the wishes of his parents or employer; (3) that he will uphold the principles of clean speech, clean sports and clean habits, and will stand with the rest of the gang against cigarettes and profane language on the field. A number of schools have made applications for passes, among whom are L'ouverture, Wheatley, Dumas, Banneker and Delaney. On Saturday, June 2, a group of boys, escorted by Dr. C. H. Turner attended the game, and for the next two Saturdays any boys who will agree to the above rules.may attend by making applications to the Y. M. C.

POP CONCERT PROGRAM FOR SUNDAY; JUNE 10 The program at the Pop Concert in the beautiful auditorium of the Y. W. C. A., with the Austin's Military Band, was rendered without a blemish. The program was a patriotic one and the hearers, who were some of the best citizens of our city, were very much elated over it. Perhaps the third number on the program, rendered by Miss Geraldine Evans, was a revelation to the audience, from the fact she described the great subject "Technique" to the fullest extent of the term. These concerts will continue through the month of June every Sunday at 5 P.M. The Austin's Military Band is in first-class shape and shows wonderful interpretation in the rendition of each number.

CHURCH Christian fellowship seems to be the motto of all the churches in St. Louis at present. Sunday was quarterly meeting day at St. Paul. Rev. Lewis C. Sheafe, of California, was the speaker at 11 a.m. He selected for his text, C. Issp. 40:31, which read, 'But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings of eagles, they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not fait.' The Rev. seemed to have been filled with the Holy Spirit, his pictures were striking, and his bearers were held spellbound. His sermon was indeed a rare treat. At 3 o'clock we were favored with another powerful sermon by Rev. N. L. Smith, of Lane Tabernacle, C. M. E. Church. Before the close of his remarks the house was filled with halleenjah fire. There are great things in store for Rev. Smith, as a young man, Rev. Peck, of St. James, Father Stewart and quite a number of other ministers were with us and 'took part in the service. Sunday, June 10, is "Children's Day." Bishop H. B. Parks will preach at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Rev.

Zion Church, 4280 Lexing. Sunday, June 3rd, was a grand day with the members and pastors of Jones Church. The day had been set apart for a Grand Rally on Connectional Claims, and the ten Recruiting captains were asked to raise the sum of six dollars each, ($6,000) and report on the said date. That was steel they came forward with the money, and made the pastor feel very much clated because of their loyalty. During the day the reports were good, and the amount raised very creditable indeed. Next Sunday, June 10th, rest. Dr. Smith, pastor of Lane Tabernacle C. M. E. Church and his good congregation will be with us, and preach at 3:00 p.m. The remainder of the reports will be made by the captains, for it is the last Sabbath that the pastor will be with his people ere he goes to the Annual Conference.

Dobbins, from the second chapter of Corinthians. Owing to the fact that he has been very ill, it was feared that he would not be able to fill the pulpit. Rev. Dobbins soon lost sight of his illness, and his hearers found their attention, directed to a higher standard of Christianity, which consisted of love, truth, sacrifice and eg operation.

Write for a sample of Palmer best hair poma CUT OUT THE "T" Write for a sample of Palmer's "Hair-Success" Dressing, the best hair pomade on the market. BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS. The greatest word in all the language of Achievement is the little three-letter word C-A-N. A man grows because of what he feels and knows in his heart and in his mind that he CAN. But the weakest word in all the language of words is the invented combination of words—C-A-N-T. When you think that you CAN'T just cut out the "T" and you CAN. People are led by their masters. Sometimes these masters are Nerves, sometimes Stomachs, sometimes some Infrury, sometimes Imagination. But when a man is led by the master Will, the only things that he CAN'T do are the things that he decides not to do. When you think that you CANT just cut out the "T" and you CAN. Look about you. There you see a fellow who is going ahead and accomplishing things and keeping still about it. After a while he won't be where he is now, but somewhere—no matter where—in a big place. He knows he CAN and he DOES. He started out by cutting out the "T" in CANT. When you think that you CANT just cut out the "T" and you CAN. Stories of the westward flight of Siberian exiles, following the revolution and the release of about 100,000 prisoners who have been held by the Russian government in Siberia, gave a somewhat wrong impression of Siberia. These prisoners have, for the most part been held in eastern and northeastern Siberia, the cold regions. They have worked in mines under heartless overseers. Many of them were exiled without trial, and most of them were political prisoners, sentenced after a perfunctory trial by government officials who took their orders and meted out justice accordingly. Naturally the news of the successful revolution and the release of the exiles resulted in a scramble to get home. But it should not be inferred from this that Siberia will within a short time be deserted, observes the Indianspolls News. To the west is a vast region into which, in the ten years preceding the war, some 3,000,000 Russians went of their own accord. The total population of western Siberia is now 9,000,000, while the population of the rest of Siberia is only 2,500,000. Although there are many rich deposits of gold, silver, copper, iron and coal in western Siberia, iron mines are not worked much because of the lack of transportation facilities. It is chiefly at present an agricultural region, attracting Russian farmers who seek better and cheaper land, as American farmers once went west in search of better opportunities. A British trade agent, writing in the British Export Gazette, says this district will support a population of $800,000,000, but at the present rate of colonization it will be many years before the population becomes as large as that of European Russia, or one-fourth of the British agent's estimate. Women, Clad in Khaki, Work As Longshoremen on Docks Five women dressed in khaki showed longshoremen the other day that they were not only willing but able to "do their bit" for national service, says the New York Herald. As the first response, to a call for help the squad from the National League for Woman's Service drove two motor cars from pler to pler to assist in loading $150,000 worth of groceries, clothing and war relief supplies for France. The goods were being forwarded by the war relief, clearing house for France and her allies. "Capt." Edith Field of the motor car division of the league called out "Lieut." Helen Bastedo, "Serrt." Helen Streit and "Privates" Florence Darrach, Augusta Smith and Edna Tunis. The young women worked steadily from nine o'clock in the morning until ten o'clock at night. The quintette of war-service workers wear a khaki uniform consisting of a short skirt, knickerbockern, military coat and cap. 1512 Atlantic Ave. Siberia, Far From Being BEEVE IN SIGNS?

Mother's Cook Book Vegetable Foods Economy is the keynote of all topics at present and it is needed in the saving of waste in many of the homes of the poor. Those who are able to waste and not suffer must remember that there are thousands starving for want of food. Many times the reason people are poor is simply the lack of using economy and wisely spending the amount to be used in food, cooking more than is needed, serving too much, so that it is thrown into the garbage can, and having too great a variety. We often hear women who keep fowls remark: "Oh, nothing is wasted; we give everything to the chickens." It is not intelligent living to feed fowls food that is good enough for the family table. There are few people, unless living in congested districts or in flats, that may not have a vegetable garden. It may be interesting to know that you can raise squash, cucumbers and pumpkins against the fence, letting them run up as vines, not only adding to the beauty of the backyard but furnishing good food for the family. A small plot two feet square will furnish a good-sized family with lettuce, replanting every two weeks, or more. Radishes and beets may be sown together. The radishes when pulled help to cultivate the beets. Other seed combinations may be treated this way, keeping a continual garden on a very small spot of ground. Carrots are a vegetable which should be more generally grown and served. They are most wholesome, supplying mineral elements needed in the blood, especially for growing children. Carrots may be served in a variety of appetizing ways, besides the usual way of creaming them. Cooked in combination with mutton or veal they are an addition to the meat. Cooked in very little water and then seasoned with butter, a bit of grated nutmeg and lemon juice they are a most tasty vegetable to serve with beefsteak. As vegetable soup with potato and onion, or in boiled dinner the carrot is always highly prized. Beets are another good vegetable easily grown and not requiring expert care or very good soil. As greens they are most wholesome in the early spring and as a fresh vegetable or as pickles the grown beet will always hold a large place. Growing vegetables on every available space and spot will be one of the best possible ways of serving our country, for we must have food and the more we grow the less of poverty and hunger there will be.

Secretary of Correspondence Department, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT-But, your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. . . For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them. And the Beesermer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, with the Lord.-Iss. 59, 12, 20. in the days of the old prophets, trouble between God and sinning men and smiling men was as evident as it is today. In the reading of the chapter that precedes the one from which the texts are taken, we read that the people attempted to do certain things that pleased God; being very religious, in a formal way, they were devoting themselves to their sacrifices and feastings, but the trouble be- A. between them and God was not removed. It was fortunate for them that they had some religious leaders that knew things spiritual, and who were faithful in telling the people that they were not doing what was pleasing to God at all. Charge of Worldliness. If the application of these words were made to the church today, which would be very proper, the charge would not be wise if it were made in the form of details or the naming of peccadillos of improper conduct, but if the church were charged with worldliness, with betrayal of pure doctrine, with robbery as far as withholding offerings to God are concerned, then the charge would attract attention. The church of God today in its sinful condition stands as a buffer between God and the unsaved world. A great load of guilt is on it today on this particular account. It is a misrepresentation of what Christ and his religion are. The world does not today read Christ properly because it reads the perverted message of Christ that the church presents in its life. But the shortcomings of the church will not redeem any unsaved man, nor be an excuse for not getting right with God. Here every tub must stand on its own bottom. What is wrong with the unsaved man? Simply that he is out of right relationship with God; there is a lack of adjustment. A man can fence all he pleases, and try to throw the blame on God, but ultimately the trouble is with himself. His sins have separated between him and God, and these must be got out of the way. God must be faithful to man, and to show his love he says through his ministers. "Your sins have hid his face from you that he will not hear." God's Part and Man's. The charging of sin is God's part; the confessing of sin is man's part. Fortunately, the people to whom the prophet spoke heeded his word, and we read that they made detailed confession. Confession is in a way the same thing as repentance, and some men have shown themselves to be strong in repentance, indeed, there is no explanation of their standing before God, except conceding that they knew how to repent. We have David and Peter as examples. Such confession is coming out candidly and accepting the righteousness of the charge of God. God has passed judgment, his charge is made and man must, like one of ancient times, acknowledge the charge in order that God may be justified when he speaks and be clear when he judges. We might note in this part of the confession that the individual says "his sins are multiplied before him"—that is, they are in an exaggerated form, really what they are, as compared with what he has heretofore considered them to be. He concedes, also, that his sins belong to himself. The need of the day in which we find ourselves is confession, national confession, church confession, individual confession. Some nations today are on their knees. They are on their way to true blessing because they are going to get right with God. The organized church is hardly on its feet yet, and it is slipping further and further away from the truth of God, and not until it gets to its knees and confesses its attachment to the world, its departure from truth, its failure to understand its true mission, will it have God's favor. The Blessing. The inevitable follows confession of sin, namely, blessing. In the text we are told that the Redeemer shall come to Zion. The trouble with the world and with the church and the individual is, that the Redeemer is not present. This coming of the Redeemer may fairly be considered in the first place as a spiritual coming. The ideal situation is expressed by the term Immanuel, which means "God with us," but God cannot be with us if we hold to our sins and do not confess and forsake them. God remains away from nations and churches and individuals as far as his blessings are concerned, who do not confess their sins and return to him. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (BY H. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute.) (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JUNE 10 LESSON TEXT-John 13:15-23, 25-30. GOLDEN_TEXT-Christ died for our sins-I Cor. 15.3. We are compelled to omit a consideration of that dark, despicable trial in Pilate's judgment hall. Pilate's weakneed subservience to custom and the cry of the politician is one of the blackest pages in history. His scourging of the man whom he, himself, declared innocent, is practically without parallel. After the mocking and the scourging, Pilate said unto the people, Behold the man" (v. 5), and later in sarcasm he said to the same people, "Behold your king" (v. 14). Teachers should emphasize at the beginning and all through this lesson that Jesus suffered and died for the sins of all men, ours as well as those of his own day. 1. The Crucifixion of Jesus (vv. 16-22). It was about nine o'clock in the morning when Pilate gave his infamous order that Jesus should be crucified. It was indeed a sorrowful procession which moved itself along the "Vla Dolorosa" (the Sorrowful Way), consisting of the Roman soldiers, the otterting, physically exhausted man of Galliee, and, Luke adds, "sorrowing women." They took him to the place of a skull, a hill about sixty feet high, at the foot of which was the rock-hewn sepulcher in which his body was later laid. The place was called in Hebrew "Golgotha"; the Aramaic for skull. Calvary is the Latin for the same. On either side of him were crucified the robbers, which was an evident effort to add to his shame as well as a salutary warning to the Passover pilgrims. Over the cross Pilate wrote a title on a wooden tablet. Following the usual custom, this was nailed at the head of Jesus, setting forth his crime. The words it/bore were, "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews," as though Pilate would take malicious revenge upon the mob which had made him-perform a deed he had sought to avoid. Literally this sign meant "This man is the kingliest of all Jews, and see what they have done to him." In response to Pilate's questioning, Jesus said, "I am the King of the Jews," Pilate knew that he was innocent, and sought to let him go free, but, rather than incur the hatred of the Jewish authorities, he yielded to their demand for his blood, and became a party to the murder of the Son of God. Men today take a part in his crucifixion rather than surrender wholly to him, and pay the price of open confession. "They crucified him." How these words laid the pride of men in the dust. Human nature is the same today as it was two thousand years ago when the world's bitterest hate was wreaked not upon a bad man but upon the best man, the perfect man, the God-man. The pain Jesus suffered on Calvary was no imagination. He suffered it all for us (Isa. 53:6), but the physical suffering was not the most severe agony he bore (Ps. 69:20; Matt. 27:46). The crucifixion of Jesus was part of the eternal purposes of God's love and redemption. II. The World's Darkest Hour (vv. 23-30). Each of the Gospel writers refers to the part the soldiers took in casting lots for his garments. They were unconsciously fulfilling the prophecy of Psalm 22:18, and it was from their number that one of the supreme testimonies to the character of Christ came (See Matt. 27:54). The first three evangelists tell us of the throng of pilgrims who passed along the highway from the north, close at hand, and who wagged their heads in imitation and mockery of the agony of the one who was being crucified. But there were others who were spectators of this event, a group of Christ lovers (v. 25). "It is finished." These are remarkable words. He had finished his suffering; he had finished that for which he came into the world when he began his ministry; he had finished the mission for which his father had sent him into the world; he had finished and fulfilled the prophecies concerning his suffering and death; he had completed the work of the redemption; the atonement was finished, and Satan's power was finished; the Mosaic law was finished as far as its claims upon the believer were concerned (Rom. 10:4; Col. 2:13; Eph. 2:15 and 16). Outwardly it seemed to be Satan's supreme hour. It was the world's darkest hour. The seven last words. These would be an interesting study for any class. (1) "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." (2) "Today thou shalt be with me in Paradise." (3) "Woman, behold thy son; (4) "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (5) "I thirst;" (6) "It is finished." (7) "Father into thy hands I commit my spirit." Christ had power to lay down his life. He had power to take it up again, but he laid it down, submitting to a burial in the tomb. At that moment the effect upon the malefactor, upon the centurion, upon the elements of cloud and sky, upon the veil of the temple, upon the people and upon his friends. What is the effect of this story upon yourself, teachers, and upon those who are listening to your instruction? Church Director St. James A. M. E.
