NEGROES DENIED RIGHT TO VOLUNTEER
200,000 Young Colored Men, Subjected To Draft, Want Right To Offer Service Like Others. Action of Government Thus Far Unprecedented In History of Country: Causes Much Comment and a Protest. Concription Denies Right To Choose Between Army, Navy, Marine or Aviation Corps.
White Men Begged Daily To Make Their Selection
According to the expectation of war officials, over 200,000 Negroes will be drafted in this country without even having an opportunity to volunteer. The loyalty of the Negro has never been successfully questioned, and the interesting conversation which has taken place this week between some gentlemen concerning the selective conscription law recognized this fact; yet the regret was expressed that the Negro alone, of all American citizens, had been denied the opportunity of having his patriotism tested through the volunteer system, as did other patriots of the country. The limited chance he had was practically null, and those few men needed to fill regiments and raise battalions to regimental strength were forthcoming; while even now the door of opportunity is open to all but the Negro, to of their own free will, offer their lives for the defense of their country. Negroes would have welcomed an invitation for volunteers in unlimited numbers, and the belief is deep seated that the response would have been flatteringly generous, and an adequate account could have been given of his willingness to fight for the only flag he knew; but history will be unable to record the outburst of the Negro soul to the call of his country, and can only preserve possible future deeds of valor on the field of battle, which are sure to come, as often as he gets on the train ride.
Although the War Department has used every effort to make the people believe that conscription is honorable, yet deep down in the hearts of the people the volunteer idea holds the seat of honor and refuses to be dethroned. The recruiting officers have taken advantage of the registration and are seen daily begging men to endist now, while they can enter any branch of the service they desire. They tell the men when they are drafted they will have no choice. This opportunity is offered the white man, but denied the Negro.
Unprecedented
The condition in which the Negro is placed at this period of the history of the United States is unprecedented. During the Civil War men were drafted only after they had been given an opportunity to volunteer. This idea has been carried out in the present great world-war in Europe. Canada, only a few days ago, found conscription necessary only after having given the men a chance to volunteer.
The Negroes protest that they have not been given a chance to volunteer their services as other men. They want to be free to join the army, navy, marine and aviation corps, as other men. What a precious heritage it would have been for those loyal Negroes, who may never be conscripted, to have known they were among those who served their country through volunteer enlistment, and could have with pride held up to the black boys of the future generations their example as worthy of emulation! Their are the hearts which blood, they have waited and waited in-vain for their country's call, only to suffer disappointment in silence. Are they not loyal? Are they not Americans to, the last drop of their blood? Is this not a war for liberty? Will conscription for all
branches include them.
Love for one's country cements the ties between countrymen of every nativity in a crisis. Common interests demand united action and any procedure which makes impossible the fullest realization of the nation to raise; in the quickest possible time, the required number of physically capable men to rally to the call to arms is detrimental to the national life. The Negro who sings, "My country 'tis of thee," in common with his neighbors loves what they love, believes what they believe and thinks with them in all affairs affecting the nation. When the time comes to alloting duties for the commission defense he feels he is "wounded in the house of his friends" when he is not permitted unrestricted opportunity to carry his full share of the burden. On the field of battle, in the nut far distinct future the spirit of comradeship will gain much strength; men will light as men, all will upend many
St. Louisans Called To Ft. Des Moines Officers Camp
weary hours thinking of "Home, Sweet Home." The Negro conscript, who would have volunteered, will face danger at the sound of the teesin as quickly as any other, whether his desire to volunteer was withheld from him, or, in his own estimation, he may be merely a lowly conscript, fighting beside those who at home refused to age in him all that goes to make a man, who hold him up to constant ridicule as the "national exception."
Waring Asks President to Remove Military Restrictions
New York, N. Y. "I know of no law that precludes the Negro citizen from enlisting in the Marine Corps or the artillery or any other branch, other than that unwritten law laid down by militarists in the United States of the German stripe."
This sentence is taken from a letter written by Robert Lewis Waring, of this city to President Wilson, urging, on behalf of the 12,000,000 Negroes in this country, that he remove all restrictions that prevent them from enlisting in any branch of the military service. Mr. Waring believes that the President, as commander-in-chief of the nation's military forces, has the right, in time of war to open all branches of that service to all American citizens. "Although it may be said," wrote Mr. Waring, "that the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry, and the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry are open to my people for enlistment, Negroes who are abreast of the times are humiliated, outraged that they must be held up to the world falsely as a race of citizens lacking courage enough to lead in battle. Bless the hand that will give me, and the thousands like me, a free hand to serve my country, as other men are permitted to serve it."
Barred From Quartermaster's Department
In reply to the application of Paul W. Moseley, of St. Louis, for admittance to the Quartermaster's Department, Captain Frank Newton wrote the following from the headquarters in Chicago: "The Quartermaster Enlisted Reserve Corpna has not received as yet any authority to enlist. Colored men in any branch of the department. No doubt, at some future time, such authority will be received, but in the meantime we are not accepting any applications from Colored men."
ST. LOUISANS ENTER FT. DES
MOINES OFFICERS' RESERVE
CAMP
Sixteen St. Louisans left this week to enter the Colored Officers' Reserve Camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. The men were called last Saturday and included the following: B. E. Watkins, Louis J. Mills, Geo. L. Vaughn, Leonard J. Tuggle, Walter Lowe, Chas. H. Fearing, Wm. H. Owens, Pearl E. Taylor, Benj. H. Mosby, W. A. Curtis, W. A. Giles, Geo. T. Dickson, James A. Williamson, Wm. H. Banks, Emuget Brown and Alonza J. McMurray. These men will take the three-month* training and will then be permitted to take the examination for officers in the regular army. They will receive $100, and expenses per month during the training. The lot probably represents all that will be called from St. Louis.
The men were given a big send-off Monday. A big automobile parade traversed the down town streets and part of the west end in the afternoon and a patriotic meeting was held in the St. Paul Chapel at night. Both events were hurriedly arranged, but made a very creditable showing.
Lucian Garrett, a St. Louis boy, who was serving as physical director in the Y. M. C. A. at Louisville, Ky., was called from that city.
The following additional applicants were examined by the recruiting officers in St. Louis before the war department closed the list Sunday night at 10 o'clock. From St. Louis—Frank Carter, 1433 Morgan; Toussaint Aston, 311 N. nth; Russell Jenkins, 4117 Cottage; Wm. H. J. Williams, 4213 Pjonak; Wm. C. Thomas, 3220 Cote Brillante; Wm. G. Miller, 1313 Tudor; Jefferson City and Lincoln Institute—M. M. Bolton, H. O. Mariott, C. A. Smith, L. C.
PEBBLES CAUSE WORKHOUSE RIOT
Report, as Usual, Exaggerated by Daily Papers. One Shot Fired
Pebble throwing was the cause of the lot at the workhouse June 7. The pebbles were replaced with rocks and the affair finally ended in a number of Negroes being injured by one load of shot fired from a shotgun. A white prisoner by the name of Greaser was taunting a Negro by throwing pebbles at him. This led to stone throwing and finally to the Negro being beaten by a gang of whites. When one of the guards, saw the trouble he fired one load of his shotgun into the air to attract other guards. He was attacked by several white prisoners and his shotgun taken from him. He held onto the revolver. Greaser, who got the gun, fired its only load at the Negroes, wounding several, one of them losing an eye. Greaser was overpowered and he and another white prisoner have been kept in solitary confinement ever since. The daily papers, as usual, exaggerated in reporting the affair. Only one shot was fired. The guards did not attack the Negro prisoners. The officials informed an Argus reporter that Negro prisoners give very little trouble. Greaser has been in the workhouse a couple of years. His time was out: Friday-but Director of Public Welfare, John Schinnol, stated that he had asked the Circuit Attorney to issue a warrant against him and Walsh, another white prisoner, Thursday.
Spirited enthusiasm riled at the meeting of the Supreme Lodge General Committee, at Pythian hall Wednesday night. $1,075 was raised at the meeting, and this, with $1,127,10 already in the bank, makes a fund of $2,302,10 ready to start the work in preparation for the big convention and encampment in August.
On June 15, the committee will deposit $1,500 for a certified check, to be sent to Major General R. R. Jackson to guarantee prize money, and will deposit $1,000, July 15, for camp expenses. The plans for the camp ground and street decorating are very elaborate. They include the artistic decorating of Compton Ave, which will be the court of honor, from Market to Pine. About 40,000 visitors and 10,000 uniformed men in camp are expected.
MAJOR B. B. JACKSON SPEAKS
AT COMMENCEMENT
Special to the Argus:
Cairo) Ill.-The Honorable R. R. Jackson, of Chicago, member of the State Legislature, delivered an impressive address—the graduates of the Summer High. School at the Cairo Opera House Friday evening, June 8. The Pythias gave a smoker in his honor Saturday. The major was the guest of Mrs. W. A. Plummer while here.
Chapple, Chas, G. King, W. E. Van Buren, James Stevens, of Hannibal and Rouse W. England, of Mouinds, Ill.
Elmer A. Burgess, of 218 Elwood St., says he made application and was examined, but the recruiting office list published in the Argus last week gave the name, Albert Burgess, 212 Alberta. The publishers had no authority to make the correction.
PEW NEGEOES CLAIM EXEMPTION
Jefferson City, June 13.-In the conscription registration in Missouri, June 5, more than 63 per cent of the white persons claimed exemption. Of 18,915 Negroes only 3,742 made claims why they thought they should not be drafted.

Hundreds of Christian Workers Open Big Meeting in Nashville. Executive Board N. B. C. Also in Session Special to the Argus:
Nashville, Tenn., June 13.—Inspired by such an excellent rendition of the Sunday School Congress song, "Hail the Baptist Congress," by the unagnificant chorus, hundreds of Sunday school workers were present and participated in the opening of the Twelfth Annual Session of the Sunday School Congress, that, had its official opening at 11:30 today at Mt. Olive Baptist Church. More than twenty four states were represented when the Sunday, School Congress secretary made up his roll in the afternoon.
"We are loyal to the Stars and Stripes. We mean to stand by the Constitution and the Flag, and at the same time carry the banner of King Emanuel into every dark corner, of this great country," declared Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of this movement, before the magnificent audience, after he had been introduced and read the list of subjects, and made the assignments for the departmental meetings.
Seventy-eight officials, making up the Executive Board of the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, will hold their session here tomorrow. Practically all of these have already arrived, having come with the various delegations and on special trains with the Sunday School Congress forces.
Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, June 9. As previously announced, the eighteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League, will be held in Chattanooga, Tennessee, August 15, 16, 17, 1917. The Business League has always endeavored to keep before the country the most reliable facts of the Negro's progress, and the program for this year will include a number of the foremost leaders of both races, who will discuss in a spirit of helpfulness, a constructive program for the race during the present crisis.
The affiliated organizations of the League, which include the National Negro Press Association, the National Negro Funeral Directors Association, the National Negro Insurance Association, the National Negro Retail Merchants' Association, the National Negro Farmers' Association, and the National Negro Bar Association, will hold their annual sessions at the same time as in former years, and there is every indication that the attendance this year will far surpass that of any previous year in the history of the league.
year in the history of the League.
The Supreme Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythia will hold its annual session in St. Louis, and honorable S. W. Greene, the Supreme Chancellor, has assured Secretary Emmett J. Scott, that he will personally invite the delegates to the Grand Lodge to go to Chattanooga at the conclusion of their Grand Lodge session. Mr. H. A. Smith, president of the St. Louis Negro Business League, and Mr. Fortune J. Weaver, president of the Kansas City Negro Business League, have been invited to co-operate with the officers of the Supreme Lodge, in order that if possible a special train may bring the Missouri delegates and the Supreme Lodge delegates to Chattanooga in time for the meeting of the Business League.
PROFESSOR COLE HONORED
Prof. R. H. Cols was the recipient recently of a beautiful gold medal, presented to him by the members of the First Baptist Church in appreciation of his valuable services to them. Engraved on the face is a Bible and lamp, representing the "Book of instruction and lamp of knowledge."

Mr. White is an expert insurance man, the only Negro qualified actuary in America. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and a trained financier.
In his address at Union Memorial Monday night he will tell his hearers why adequate premiums, based on the National Fraternal Congress Experience Table of Mortality, are necessary. It will be an excellent opportunity for St. Louisans to hear a real business talk on insurance, both old line and fraternal. The insurance business and methods will be revealed in a way to be plainly understood by everyone.
THE AMERICAN WOODMEN
The American Woodmen, "The brotherhood of Man," was incorporated in 1901 at Denver, Colorado. The order insures against old age, disability, accident, sickness and death. It has to its credit $150,000 for the protection of policy holders, has paid $400,000 as benefits
"Butterfly In Hawaii" Date Changed To Thursday June 28
The date for the presentation of the beautiful play, "A Butterfly in Hawaii," has been changed to Thursday, June 28, when it will be repeated at the Pythian Hall.

The American Woodmen base its appeal to the public, strictly on business soundness and safety. The methods and management were adopted from the start, a fact which has kept the order from even having to issue extra assessments or increase the burdens of its members in any way. Only educated men and women are employed. It is no new concern, but has stood the test of sixteen years and has not every claim, paying same in full from three to ten days from date of death or accident. On account of its iron-clad business system there is no change for any of its officials or employees to misappropriate funds. Against receipts guarantee payment and assume proper credit.

lated to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless.
I have used Nuxatid iron widely in my practice, and several acvaged conditions with unfamiliar equipment induced many other physicians to give it a trial, all of whom have given me most surprising reports in regard to its great power as a health and strength builder. The older higher has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and fitted his blood with iron before he went into the affray; while many another has gone down in inglorious defeat simply for the affray. Dr. Schubley C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York City, said: "I have never before given out any medical information or advice for publication, as I ordinarily do not believe in its efficacy. I have never given out any medical deficiency, with its attendant like physical weakness, nervous irritability,
ancholy, indigestion, flabby, aging muscles, etc., etc. — and in consequence of their weakened, run-down condition that they have suffered from even fatal disease, that I deem it my duty to advise all such to take Nuxated iron. I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satisfactory results. I have also increased their strength, power and endurance will find it a most remarkable and wonderfully effective remedy."
NOTE: Nuxated iron, which is prescribed, good recommended above by physicians in such great variety of cases, is not a patient medicine or secret remedy. And whose iron constituents are widely prescribed and whose iron constituents in Europe and America. Unlike the physician in both Europe and America, easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, makes a good remedy for the gargle, it is a most potent remedy in nearly all down conditions. The manufactures have such great confidence in nuxated iron that they offer to fortify men or women under 60 who lack iron, and increase their strength. They take no serious orrogenic drugs. They also have to refound your gums if it does not do as load deep your strength at all good drug days. It is disposed in this manner at all good drug days.

ST. LOUIS TIMES ENDORSES LYNCHING.
In an editorial of the St. Louis Times, an afternoon paper published in this city, last Tuesday, the editor succeeded in getting out of his system an endorsement of the greatest of crimes; the lynching by burning, torturing and dissecting of human beings near Memphis, Tenn., recently.
It seems that the writer had treasured the idea of approving the actions of the mob in the Memphis case every since it happened, but lacked the moral courage to do so. Now that the kidnapping and murdering of Baby Keet of Springfield and the subsequent seizing, torturing by mob, some of the members of the alleged gang of kidnappers, The Times seized the opportunity to express its approval of the horrible lynching of a Negro, near Memphis, some weeks ago.
After having said in this editorial that mobs are true to human nature, and how the mob spirit may seize upon those who are the respectors of the law. The Times continues, "In neither the Tennessee nor the Missouri case will the members or the leaders of the mob be arranged by law. They represented public feeling, and that sentiment still effectually indorses and upholds them. At the bottom of things, they represented justice, if not law. No one passionately defends lynching, and in cool blood all of us theoretically denounce mob violence. But it will not be asserted, that the Memphis and Springfield mobs did not act as the agents, of public opinion, or that the outraged instincts which their deeds reflected were not secretly those of an overwhelming majority."
Just why the Negro had to be brought into this kidnapping case; leaves room for much thought. Does the editor of The Times think because a Lynching Bee was organized at Springfield that the Negro should be the victim; and in order to make the story popular, the Memphis case should be mentioned? Is it possible that the editor of The Times is not above the level of the common mob? If mob violence is popular among the masses, is the editor of The Times a man who runs and howls with the crowd because it is easy? We dispise mob violence in any form, particularly so, because the Negro race is the principal victim of the cowardly crowd that always seeks to strike and hide its hands behind the numbers.
He who condones the mob spirit is "sowing to the wind."
The St. Louis Star
On the same afternoon The St. Louis Star in an editorial took the only wise and sensible view with reference to the mob. After telling of the rope around the neck of one of the alleged kidnappers, and the more than "third degree" methods used in an effort to extort a confession of guilt from one of their victims, The Star continues, "The horrors and infamy of the police third degree have often been condemned, but here was a third degree beyond anything the police of any city have ever done. This man was surrounded by angry, shouting men, he was beaten in the face with the noose of the rope brought with which to hang him. He was buffeted and pulled about and lied to and finally actually choked with the noose until black in the face, in the effort to terrorize him into confession.
It is probable that four out of five innocent men under such treatment would have said or done something to deepen the belief in their guilt and would have been strung up to die. This was the fifth man. His iron nerve saved him. Having that nerve, he might have held out while guilty as well as innocent. The record is against the truth of admissions made under torture and in a state of fear or nervous collapse. It was a brutal deed, not justified even if the victim had been guilty. What possible justification is there for such treatment of an innocent man, even though not free from criminal taint?
The above statement coming from the St. Louis Star is quite a contrast to that coming from The Times. It shows the difference in the character of the two editors. Let the thinking public be the judge.
As The Star has so eloquently said, "Four out of five innocent men would have made some kind of confession under the circumstances; and as we look o'er the catalogue of lynching and read the stories of alleged confessions of the victims and as the pictures come into our minds of the dual position, in which the accused is placed; and knowing as we do that so few men have the iron nerve to die rather than change; we stand aghast to think that an editor of a metropolitan daily like The St, Louis Times is not able to see that; mob violence is dangerous at every stage of the game.

Several men have confessed fraud in connection with obtaining life insurance at better rates, by understating their ages. Now, they are trying to dodge the draft registration by over rating their ages. Thus, they have found themselves between two fires. The Government at one end and the Insurance Co., at the other. Honesty is the best policy after all.

Not, perhaps, because things have gone particularly wrong during his brief absence, but because of the large responsibility which rests upon his shoulders. There was much apprehension on the part of the colored population of this city as to the ultimate out come of the Mayor's illness after it was reported that he had suffered a severe attack.
Now that he is back on the job with the reins of the city, officially-in his hands. The Argus on behalf of his many friends among the colored people of St. Louis, congratulates him upon his return to office and the splendid condition of his health.
SOUL-WINNING MESSAGE TO
THE MASSES
A great revival, "Twelve Nights in Zion," will be conducted by Rev. S. V. Terry at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 2624 Papin St., from Monday, June 18 to Friday, June 29.
Rev. S. V. Terry.
The United States is calling for men for the army; Jesus Christ, the Captain of All, is calling for men for His army. Which of these will you consider first?
LISTEN!—The ery of the unassured.
"The harvest is past, the summer is ended and we are not saved." Jer. S. 207; Isaiah 11:14, "Come now, and let us season together," sayeth the Lord, "thought your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." MEANS IN REVIVAL. A revival can be talked up or down. When Christians talk much about religion, sinners think about it, people in the church don't talk about Jesus now like they used to do in their homes; they seem to think that the church house is the place to talk religion, not at home. Worldly homes make dead churches and powerless Christians. It is the duty of every member of the church to talk to other members with whom they come in contact, and especially those who do not attend church. Christians, do your best. The war is on and the Master wants your service. Let your works be seen on earth and let the angels report it in heaven, that you are teamworkers with God in giving effect to the purpose of His grace and training up immortal souls for the glories of His Kingdom. Every Baptist preacher in good standing is wanted in these meetings.
Sisters, prayer meeting every afternoon at 3 o'clock. Song service from 7:30 to 6:15 p. m. Preaching begins 8:30 p. m. Collection Wednesday and Friday sights only during the midweek services. Come early to get your seat.
Speakers who have consented to take part in these services: Reverend R. Clopton, J.-Burns, E. G. Goldaby, L. H. Monge, J. C. Martin, M. Owens, W. L. Woodes, J. K. Parker, I. J. Huggins, J. J. Collins and others whose names do not appear on this list. We are planning to seat 500 people every night. Directions: Take Jefferson Avenue car, get off at Chouteau Avenue, walk north one block, turn-west to church. The Church Aid Union will start the meeting the first night, June 18, with 500 members and friends. Everybody is welcome. Christian and sinner, friends from the Southland, comer you are welcome to this great meeting. After reading this article do not cast it away, hand it to your friend; do not forget the date and place.
Rev. S. V. Terry, Conductor.
Sister C. Raymon, Clerk.
EL BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH
The Women's Anxiliary to the Seven Church Union will meet with us Sunday afternoon, June 17, at 2 P.M. Everybody is welcomed to come and help the women in their good work. Rev W. W. Perry, pastor; Richard Mosby, assistant clerk.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES
M. G. C.
First Baptist Church has taken on new life and vigor, as all who were present: last Sunday can readily testify. The auditorium was well filled, and Rev. Maxwell held his audience spellbound. We have had 15 additions to the church the two Sundays he has been with us. This coming Sunday will be another full day with us. Preaching in the morning, as usual. At 3 p.m. Rev. O. C. Maxwell will be installed, under the auspices of the Antichic Baptist Association. Rev. Ward, of Indianapolis, Ind., will preach the installation sermon. Another notable event will be the welcome address from the white Baptists of our city, by Rev. A. A. Kelley, of the Lafayette Park Baptist Church. The public is generally invited to be present. Rev. Maxwell has already organized a brotherhood in the church, with General W. H. Butler, president. The Sunday school is being graded under the Keystone series. A Teacher's Training class will be organized Friday night. Immediately after the installation services there will be baptizing by Rev. P. W. D. Wanvant, of the Leonard Avenue Baptist Church. Dinner will be served to those who do not care to go home after morning service. All are cordially invited to be present.
There were many strangers who were made welcome to our services last Sunday. After listening to a strong, able sermon delivered, by our beloved pastor, Rev. Mosley, nine members united with the church, coming from Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi and Georgia. Don't miss seeing the drama June 28, "A Wandering Boy." The Tabernacle choir and choral club sang at the, Y, W, C, A. last Sunday. Mra. Austin is the director. Revs. Cohron and Winchester and other ministers were pleasant visitors last Sunday. Madam Beas. page enjoyed a delightful trip to the Old Folks' Home Sunday.
ST. JAMES CHURCH
Beginning with the early prayer service every service was well attended. The observance of "Cradle Roll" and "Children's Day" brought fifteen mothers to Sunday school. It was indeed a beautiful sight. Quarterly Meeting was a success, both spiritually and financially. Dr. Johnson, pastor of St. Paul Church, preached one of his soul-sirring sermons and many were the hullelujahs and expressions of praise. There were 400 communicants and five accesions during the day. "Patriotic Day" will be observed next Sunday, June 17. Dr. Peck will deliver a "Patriotic Sermon," which promises to be a literary treat. St. James, Choir, which has some of the best talent in this great metropolitan city, will render national music. You are cordially invited to come; bring your friends and show your patriotism.
MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH
1429.N. 12th. St.
Our first grand rally of the season will be held on the fourth Sunday June 24, 1917. Every effort has been made to make it a grand success: Free dinner will be served after the evening service. Everyone is cordially invited to be present. Each member is taxed two dollars on this day. The services on last Sunday were superb. Brother Thomas Jones prescheduled a splendid sermon at eleven o'clock. At three o'clock there was a spousing covenant. The pastor prescheduled at eight o'clock, then communion was served. We are still growing, both spiritually and financially. D. W. Morris, Pastor.
"The Wisdom That is From Above" was the theme of a very interesting and instructive sermon delivered by Dr. L. J. Washington last Sunday morning to his audience at McPheeters Presbyterian Church. Dr. Washington took the view that it only denotes a lack of wisdom in people to single out earthquakes, cyclones and other disasters in sufficient cause for complaint against the Divine Creator. He said in part: "Ever since men began to think they have probably been concerned with the question of moral and physical evil. The first is easier to understand, because wherever there is possibility of virtue there must be possibility of vice. Murders and wars can charge to human passions and national ambitions. The task, however, is not so easy when we come to natural disasters like tidal waves, volcanoes, earthquakes, floods and cyclones. These disasters are part of all universe, over which man has no control." The pastor's sermon was well taken, as he received congratulations from

C. J. WALKER MANUFACTURING 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 manufacturing 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.

LONG HAIR THAT IS SOFT, SMOOTH AND GLOSSY.
Quinada, Invented by a New York Chemist, Stimulates and Nourishes The Roots of the Hair
Just as a good fertilizer nourishes the soil and produces a rich crop, of wheat or corn, so will the proper remedy erate a healthy condition, of the scalp, and promote the growth of the hair. QUINADE stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, thereby causing a healthy growth.
QUINADE was invented by a New York chemist, and is made under the personal supervision of a registered pharmacist of over twenty-five years' experience; this is a guarantee that QUINADE is as near pharmaceutically correct as can be. The ingredients are selected with great care and nothing enters this high class preparation unless it is of the highest purity.
Sebby's QUINAOAP, the ideal shampoo, is an excellent aid to QUINADE in keeping the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It should be used about every two weeks.
Both articles are sold by druggists and dealers at 25c each, or will be sent direct by Seeby Drug Co., 79 E. 130th St., New York City, on receipt of price. Write for sample of QUIR-ADE, mentioning the name of this paper.—Advt.

THE WORLD PASSES BEFORE YOUR EYES
ART, TRAVEL, HISTORY,
ROMANCE, SCIENCE,
COMEDY
There are a great many reasons why
I go to the motion picture show. To
begin with, I can sit at ease in a
comfortable seat and see before my
eyes the whole great world pass in re-
view.
I can see the Turk at his mosque,
with his arms stretched toward Mecca;
the explorer battling against the
might of ice and snow, the Arab on the
burning sands of the Sahara, the mighty
trees of California, the black-skinned
natives of the tropics gathering coco-
nuts and fruits, the beasts of every
jungle and forest and plain, the fish of
all the waters of the world, the marvels
of nature, the wonders of savagery and
civilization.
I go to the motion picture show because, as a common man, I can learn more of science than from the reading of countless books, or by months of travel, or from courses of lectures delivered by whiskered savants whose technicalities confuse rather than inform. All of this can be seen at the RETINA THEATER, the home of GOOD pictures, 50th and Market Sts.

ich continues to-be an astonishment
all who read of it.
F The malefuctor was an unlikely
rson to be converted. The disciptes
id forsaken Christ and fled but this
inful man joins himself to him. He
the first of a long line of trophies
from among the foes of Christ, The
chief persecutor of the early church
became its chief apostle, and the pow-
“er of the cross over Christ's enemies
abides. Elijah P. Brown, for many
years editor of a well-known religious
weekly, was once tender of infidel
clubs, yes God brought him to Christ
‘ander a simple plea from D. L. Moody.
We should count no man hopeless but
should covet Christ’s enemies for his
cause.
“Unlikely Place for Conversion.
A cross was an unllkely place ‘tor
tonversion, The. cross has been glori-
fled tn our eyes, but we are not to for-
get that It looked no more attractive
to those who first saw It than a gal-
lows looks to ,us. John Wesley’ de-
clares that at one perlod-he would
have thought it a sin to seek to save
souls outside a church building, but
be was driven to the fields td preach
and leatned that any placé can become
holy ground. Samuel Hadley. stated
Ponregree frie tie back room of @
low aifloon,
‘The dying hour was an unlikely
period for conversion. ~ This story for-
-ever rebukes the idea that acceptance
awith God-depends upon a round of
sacraments or good works, for he had
time for nefther. This lesson still
needs tobe learned. Wesley was for
many years a. professing Christian,
and. even an ordained minister, before
e“learnéd tt. He tells how he wad
thrilled in first preaching salvation, by
faith alone, to a condemned prisoner
and his joy when he heard the man
say: “I am row ready to die. I know
bé bas taken away my sins and there
1s no more’condemnation for me.”
‘ Interesting Pointe.
‘There are several Ipteresting points
connected with the thief's conversion.
Tt began with-the fear of God. Hé
‘asks his companion, “Dost not thou
fear God seeing thou art in the same
condemnation?” His heart had been
solemnized by the darkness which
spread over ‘the land and by all the
‘scenes of the crucifixion. “Nobody
fears God any.more"—so we are told
today. And indeed this frivplous, self-
jsutixfled age Is not marked’ by the fear
Jof the Lord, It may require the hor-
rors of an awful war to bring us to
serlousness und a sense of the majesty,
of God. Alas, for the fact that some-
time even God's judgments fail in this
matter, just as one of the robbers was
unmoved by all he had witnessed!
__ It was accompanied by frank confes-
sion of his sin. “We recetve the due
reward of our deeds.” | How: refreah-
ing whén visiting in prisons, to find
‘One who vacknowledges his guilt and
expresses contrition; there is hope for

Remarkable Faith.
But we would -speak especially: of
the remarkuble faith of this iuan,. He
‘prays, “Jeaus_s remémber’ me when

multitude, -and even to the disciples,

& mockery indeed, The life.of Jesus
‘appeared a complete failure and his
¢laims exploded. , Yet, in that ‘hoar:
there was begotten Ii the heart of this
rough fellow a faith that-saw the king-
dom’ even beyond the cross.” It was
-a faith akin to that by which Abraham
wis justified. of whom tt is said he be-
God “who quickened the dead

LESSON FOR JUNE 17
c THE RISEN LORD.
frulta of them that slept—I Cor. 15:20.
‘The death of Christ. made “a deep
Impression upon the beholders (Luke
23:48, 49). Joseph, who, beems to have
been a secret disciple, obtained. the
body, and gave it burial (Mark 15:
42-47)... In Mark’s record we have the
‘story of the discovery of the resurrec-
tion by’ the women, and Mytthew tells
us how Mx enemten dénit) with that
tnet. Be sure to use a good harmony
of the four gospels In presenting all
of these ‘lessons, else, some Important
detall.will be overlooked.
1. Mary's Visit tothe Tom® (vv.1-
10). ‘The Sabbath ended at sundown,
and the shops were :then open, and
Mary Magdalene wag able to purchase
splees with which to anoint the dead
body of Jesus. There 1s strong prob-
ability that the women pald a visit
to the tomb late on Saturday (Matt,
28:1, R. V.). Starting the next morn-
Ing, “while It was yet dark” (¥. 1),
they came to the tomb to perform this
lust service of love. Jesus had no
need, of such service (Matt. 16:27; 20:
19), but the women were rewarded by
recelving the first glimpse of the risen
Lord. There were five appearances on
this first day of the week: (1) to Mary
Magdalene, (2) to the “other women,”
(8) to Peter; (4) to those on. tha way
to Emmaus, and (5) to the ten dls-
ciples, Thomas being’ absent.
None of these seemed to expect Je-
sus to be risen, for they had wich
failed to Usten to and .ponder his
words, The extent and genuineness of
the affection of the women {s found in
that’ they went to serve Jesus when
apparently all hope had falled (I Cor.
13:8, R. V.). As soon as Mary naw
the stone rolled away, she concluded
that the tomb had: been rifled, and
hastened’ to report to. the disciples
(v, 2). This report of the women to
the disciples was considered “as idle
tales” (Luke 24:11). , With Intense
eagerness Peter’ and John ran to the
tomb thus reported as being robbed.
John, the younger, reached the tomb
first., but in reverence did not enter,
only stooping to-ook in (vv. 4, 5).
Peter, the tmpetuous’ one, rushes in-
side, and sees the linen élothes lying,
and, the napkin that had been about
the head carefully folded anit tying In
give by itself (v. 7). This: appar-
Gntly insignificant detail ts one which
is really ‘significant, inasmuch as. It
shows that the tomb had not been
rified, leaving disorder’ behind. In-
stead of excitedly snatching the nap-
kin from bis face; and: burling ‘tt
whither It might fall, tie had qyletiy
taken {t off! and In an: orderly way
laid It aside. It ts in such minute de-
talls as this that we see the greatest
e@ridence of the veracity, of. this rec
‘ord. _
1, Mary Weeping (Gv. 11-15), The
disctptes returnied to thelt own omies,
and doubtless to the other disciples
(v. 10), but the Inving Mary pemained
behind in, this place made xnered as
having housed the body of the Lord.
It fs natural for us to linger in:silent
meditation In places of oir! greatest
revelation or pf our deepest soul ex-
perience. ‘Jesus: had told his disciples
‘over and over again that he atiould rise
again, and It seems strange that his
enemies shonld have temembered it
QMaty, 27563)" and his friends not.
Il, Mary Worshiping’ (vv. 16-18).
There must have been gh Inflection tn
the voice of Jesus, for. upon the utter:
ance of that one word. "Mary,”. she
recognized her risen: Lord. Joyfally
she exclaimed, “Rabbani,” that 1s fo
say. “Master” (v, 16), and would have
‘poured out ‘her love-and worship at
his feet. Jesus, however, does not suf-
fer her. to hol. him fast. Mary must
leave him, and tell the others, Lier:
ally."he ays, “Do not lay hold pf "me
but go and-tnake known the glad truth
that Iam riven again.” The risen Lord
must return to “My Father” and ‘My
God." <whereas’ the one’ who would
gladly, have remnined at his feet must
‘go to the brethren, and make -known
the facts of the fulfillment of prophecy
and the resurrection of our-Lord.*

THEATRES
The Mills-Frisby Company has another good show at the Booker Washington Theater this week. The play, "The Shoemaker and the Tailor's Trip to the South Sea Island," was too long for the time allotted and it was necessary to eliminate the second act, which, really explained the theme. The production, however, is going good. Several tuneful melodies are presented and the comedy keeps the house roaring. The musical numbers include a costumed medley of songs of different nations, "The Dance Called Walking the Dog," "Pray for the Lights to Go Out," "Carry Me Back to Old Hawaii," "The King of the South Sea Island," "Where the Black-Eyed Susans Grow," "Yaka Hula Hicka Doola," and a patriotic finale. The engagement closes Sunday night.
NEXT WEEK
Jules McGarr's famous ragtime steppers, with funny Billy McLaurin and featuring Maggie Hill and Seymore James, will come to the Booker Washington Theater next week, beginning Monday. The company is a big one and has been "cleaning up" everywhere.
Drake and Walker's Bombay Girls will be seen here soon.
OFFICIAL WAR PICTURES
Mr. Turpin has arranged to show official war pictures to the Booker Washington Theater patrons every Wednesday beginning July 4, on which date a special matinee will be given. These pictures are real, showing the actual fighting in France. They were taken on the battlefield and depict the great world war in all of its horror. Mr. Turpin has always maintained a policy of never showing fake pictures and he positively guarantees this series to be true photos of the war between Germany and the Allies.
A new serial, "The Grey Ghost," will start soon.
The Booker Washington has a Bell phone. Bomont 2208, installed for the convenience of its patrons. $^{2}$

TELL ME YOUR WAGES AND I WILL SELL YOU A PIANO ACCORDINGLY
THE NEW YORK TIMES
In order to keep my business up to its present standard I am going to sell pianos at terms to fit the circumstances of my patrons. Just received a notice from the factory to this effect. We have 53 pianos left over from our 1916 stock, and in order to make room we will sacrifice them at prices that will reach any prospective buyer. Upright pianos, $1 to $1.50 per week; players, $8 to $10 per month. There is no reason why you should not own a piano. Come to my store and see my inducements before going elsewhere. It may be the means of a saving of from $100 to $125. Phone Bonont 1592-W, or call at 2905 La clede Avenue.

STANDARD MAKES DISTINCTIVE ADVANCE
The Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Georgia, has rounded out its organization by the recent establishment of a Department of Special Bureaus. This will further enhance the value of Standard policies by throwing about the policyholder exactly the same kind of protection and inspection of business as is afforded by the largest and richest companies in America. In so far as colored business is concerned, no other life company can possibly have the facilities for inspecting their risks as will the new Standard Bureau.

The local St. Louis Camp is growing wonderfully. Already most of the leading business and professional men and women have become interested. Six deputies are at present assisting the camp in a membership campaign. The supreme camp will hold its quadrennial convention in Denver, Colorado, in August, and a plan is to give free trips to several of the local members. These will be awarded to winners of a competition. The plan will be explained at the Union Memorial meeting Monday night.
