Negroes Urged To Return. Protection Guaranteed. Popular Demand For Government Invstigation. As we go to press, East St. Louis seems to have quieted down over the embers of burned homes and perhaps the corpses of undiscovered charred bodies of victims of the disgraceful massacre of July 2. The militia is in full control and a pall of shame permeates the disgraced Illinois city. The better citizens have awakened to the true realization of the horror of the terrible crimes perpetrated, almost on the eve of Independence Day, and now rise to call back the innocent sufferers, avowing atonement for the unpardonable sin. Although hundreds of refugees have sorrowfully retraced their steps across the mighty Father of Waters to again take up their honest labors, many remain in St. Louis in pitiful conditions. Some are crippled for life, some are suffering the painful effects of unjust treatment, some are clothless, all are sad. Mothers with little children linger without a protecting husband and father to cheer them. Husbands whose wives succumbed to the bloody last, children who have been orphaned by the hand of evil fate. So many cases of misery constantly appear before the eyes of the noble citizens of St. Louis who are working unceasingly to help the needy, that it has become a continual nightmare. The Municipal Lodging House was closed Wednesday morning and immediately steps were taken by the N. A. A. C. P. to care for those still dependant, by arranging with the Y. M. C. A., at 2703 Lawton and the Y. W. C. A., 703. N. Garrison, to receive all appeals from men and women in need of assistance. The number of persons who were cared for at the Municipal/Lodging house during the eight days, only serves to give an idea of the magnitude of the exodus from the east side. Six thousand four hundred and sixty-six persons had passed through its doors 'up to Tuesday noon. Perhaps as many more never reached the place. Investigation Now On The entire country has joined in demanding a thorough investigation of the causes and effects of the riot. The grand jury has been in session during the past week and to date, three indictments have been returned. It is stated, however, that sufficient evidence has been secured to indict many others, who participated in the riot, but their names have not been made public. The Coroner's inquests have been held behind locked doors, against the protests of the leading citizens and it is the consensus of opinion that a thorough and unbiased investigation can not be had unless the United States Government takes a hand. This is attributed to the rotten political conditions in the city, which is the real cause of the laxity of law and order; but the leading citizens of the state and nation are determined to see that the matter will not be 'white washed.' Negroes Urged to Return The East St. Louis Chamber of Commerce, in demanding that the investigation be carried out to the end declares its intention to make the city a safe place for any person to live in. Three hundred of the best citizens and business men of East St. Louis met in the City Hall, Friday, and adopted resolutions, of which the following are a part: Resolved, "That steps will immediately be taken for the enforcement of the law and the preservation of life and property, and that assurance be given to all of our law-abiding citizens, irrespective of race or conditions, that in the future they will be absolutely secure in our midst. "We are at a loss to find language DAMAGES RECOVERED FREE Notice is hereby given to all of property or any damage whatsoever Ill., on or about July 2, 1917, to ap Phillips, 2335a Market St., St. I proper steps will be taken to prot ages for their loss without any cl LEGAL COMMITTEE NATIONAL ASS ADVANCED (Other papers please copy.)

NO. 13 Dr. DuBois To Speak On Riot Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, editor of The Crisis, who is in the city investigating the East St. Louis riot, will deliver a lecture at the Beren Presbyterian Church, on Pine St., Sunday afternoon at 4 p. m., everyone is invited. to express our indignation concerning the action of rioters on July 2. Their unwarranted acts, stand without a parallel in the history of the country. "The good people demand that our city be rid of the criminal clam, that has recently infested it; that the law be strictly enforced without fear or favor, and that there be no influences in the city that can screen or immune any offender; that law-abiding persons in our city, be they ever so humble, white or black, rich or poor, be absolutely secure in their lives, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness." Adjutant-General . Dickson says: "Every law-abiding man, woman or child, regardless of their race, creed or color, is perfectly safe in East St. Louis, and will have the protection of the military power of the State of Illinois if it takes every dollar and every man in the state to make it so." He says: "There is no reason why every Colored person who wants to return to work and to live in East St. Louis should not do so, with perfect safety and freedom." Although some of the Negroes seem to be reluctant to return, the general belief is that most of them will go back. WEIL AND MALONE DESERVE CREDIT FOR OPENING LODGING HOUSE Julius Weil and A. E. Malone deserve credit for the opening of the Municipal Lodging House to the East St. Louis Refuges Monday night, July 2. Mr. Weil assumed sole responsibility for the custody of the building and carried the keys during the entire time and turned them over to Director Schmoll Wednesday, July 11, when the place was closed by the city. CITY OF EAST ST. LOUIS LIABLE According to the law of the state of Illinois, the City of East St. Louis is liable for damages for the destruction of personal property, personal injury or damages for each death to the amount of $5,000. All claims must be filed within 30 days after July 2, or they will be barred forever. METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. All persons who lost relatives at E.

Three Hundred and Ninety Nine Dollars and Sixty Cents Already Raised Dr. W. E. B. DuBeis, editor of "The Crisis" and one of the general officers of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People arrived in St. Louis Tuesday and is assisting the local branch in its investigation of the riot in East St. Louis. A well-organized plan has been started to see that the rights of the Negroes are protected in the affair. A request has been sent out that all persons who know about the rioting call at the Pythian Hall, 3137 Pine St., from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Dr. Du Bois and Mr. C. A. Pitman will be in charge. At a meeting of the Finance Committee Thursday afternoon, the plans of operation were laid before the committee by Dr. Du Bois and it was decided that $2,000 would be needed to obtain the desired results; accordingly the following statement was issued: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announces that it has raised so far a total of $394.60 for the relief of the victims of the East St. Louis riot. A list of the contributors is appended. The Association appeals earnestly for further funds. These funds are needed for the following objects: 1. A larger relief fund for the purpose of helping suffering and bereaved persons. 2. A legal evidence fund for the purpose of collecting evidence against the conspirators and instigators of the riot. 3. A legal action fund for the purpose of bringing cases into court. The Local Association estimates that $2,000 in all will be needed for the above purposes. The New York office stands ready to supplement the legal action and legal evidence fund with liberal contributions. Headquarters for collecting the stories of the victims and for general publicity have been opened at the Pythian Building, 3137 Pine Street. It is earnestly requested that all persons having actual knowledge of what went on before and during the riots in East St. Louis shall come to the Pythian Building this week and relate their experience to Dr. W. E. B. DuBois and his assistant. Contributions toward the funds mentioned above may be sent to Aaron E. Malone, 3100 Pine Street.

Argus Print, 2341 Market St. W.C.GORDON BUYS THE ACME LAUNDRY The Acme Laundry, 2609 Pine St. which has been involved in litigation for several months has been purchased, by Mr. Wm. Gordon, and will be known hereafter as the W. C. Gordon Laundry. Mr. Gordon was one of the original promoters and stockholders of the Acme Laundry Company, which was incorporated seven years ago with a capital of $5000. There were five stockholders, W. C. Gordon, R. Herbert Stanton, R. R. Freeman, P. H. Carter and Mitchell, each of whom subscribed for one fifth of the stock of the company which began business at 2333 Chestnut Street. The firm soon discovered that its capital was too small to do a profitable business and increased its capital to $7000 and later to $10,000, Mr. Gordon advancing the money for the increase. The business which was under the management of Mr. R. Herbert Stanton from the time of the launching of the enterprise up to about a year ago, was not successful. A few months ago Messrs. Stanton, Freeman and Carter united in an application to the Circuit Court for the appointment of a receiver which was granted. Ernest L. Harris was appointed by the court to take charge of the laundry and after operating the plant for several months recommended to the court that the property he sold to pay off the mortgage indebtedness of the company. The sale at which Mr. Gordon bid in the property for $3,665 was formally approved by the court. Mr. Gordon, who is now sole owner of the laundry, says when he was induced to subscribe to the stock of the Acme Laundry Company; he did so out of purely philanthropic motives and to encourage the young men of his race to engage in business, also with a view of promoting a business that would give employment to a large number of colored men and women. He said he had been prosperous in his business as an undertaker and felt it his duty to aid in a movement which if properly managed would give employment to many persons. He says he is deeply gracious to the public for their liberal patronage in the past and now that he has taken exclusive charge of the laundry, he will appreciate the continuance of their patronage for which he guarantees the highest quality of work and prompt and courteous service. NOTICE Prof. I. Baker, the great instructor of the German language has removed his office from Ula S. Ewing Ave., to 2600 Wash St. I wish to state that those who have received instructions under me are proud of their knowledge of the German language. There never was a better time when the negro race should seek to acquire other languages, then how. Some may ask why! My answer to this is, the signs of the time suggest that you should! Do not say that you would like to speak Spanish, French, Italian, Greek or any other language and never try to learn them. That does no good. Do not wait to see what John wishes to do. Learn what you wish, and let John do to suit himself. If John does not want to do anything, then he learns nothing. Now if you want to learn the German language, I will guarantee that you can learn it with my instructions. Prof. I. Baker. BOY SCOUTS. IT'S CALLING YOU. 1,000 BOY SCOUTS NEEDED. W. A. B.

C.—The following joint resolution has been introduced by Congressman L. C. Dyer, of St. Louis, Mo. Creating a joint committee from the membership of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary and the House Committee on the Judiciary to investigate the causes that led to the murdering, the lynching, the burning, and the drowning of innocent citizens of the United States at East St. Louis, Illinois, on July second, nineteen hundred and seventeen; whether the constitution and laws of the United States were violated; and what legislation, if any, is needed to prevent like outrages in the State of Illinois and other states and territories of the United States. Whereas, on the night of July second, and at the City of East St. Louis, Ill., a number of citizens of the United States were beaten, burned, shot, drowned and hanged resulting in the murdering of many of them, as well as the destruction of much property, by the mob of murderers; and Whereas it is evident that the constituted authorities of the State of Illinois, the county of Saint Clair, Illinois, and the city of East Saint Louis, Illinois, were either unable or miserably failed to protect life and property as aforesaid; and Whereas other like instances of murdering and lynching have occurred in the State of Illinois and other states of the United States, due either to the lack of law and order or the failure of its officials to do their sworn duty in the protection of life and property as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Judiciary Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives, through a point subcommittee to consist of five Senators and five Representatives, who shall be selected by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, respectively, be, and they hereby are appointed to investigate the causes that led to said lynchings, the names of the parties who instigated and incited the mob, the names of the mob that committed the crimes aforesaid, whether the state county and city authorities did their duty in endeavoring to protect life and property as aforesaid, whether any laws of the Congress were violated, and what further laws, if any, are needed to prevent like lynchings in the State of Illinois and other states of the United States, with authority to sit during the receipt of Congress and with power to summon witnesses, to administer oaths, and to require the various departments, officials, and other government agencies, as well, as state county, and city agencies, and to furnish such information and render such assistance as may, in the judgment of the joint subcommittee, the deemed desirable; to appoint necessary expects, clerks, and stenographers, and to do whatever is necessary for a full and comprehensive investigation, study, and inquiry of the subject, and report to Congress on, or before the second Monday in January, nineteen hundred and eighteen; that the sum of $50,000, or so much thereof as is necessary to carry out the purposes of this resolution and to pay the necessary expenses of the subcommittee and its members, is hereby appropriated out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated. Said appropriation shall be immediately available, and shall be paid out on the audit and order of the chairman or acting chairman of said subcommittee, which audit and order shall be conclusive, and binding upon all departments as to the correctness of the accounts of such subcommittee. Mr. Dyer has also asked the Postmaster General to change the name of East St. Louis, so that it will not be identified in any way or mistaken for St. Louis, Missouri, on the west side of the river. COLUMBUS, OHIO, ATTORNEY COMES TO INVESTIGATE Charles R. Doll, attorney of Columbus, Ohio, spent Monday and Tuesday in St. Louis and Exit St. Louis investigating the Easte-St. Louis riot. Mr. Doll was representing the Columbus Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and the Poindexter Brotherhood. In a speech before the N. A. A. C. P. General Committee, Monday, he stated that Columbus was ready to do her full share in reflecing the sufferers and obtaining prosecutions of the guilty members of the mob. PRICE 5 CENTS. PYTHIAN MEETING ASSURED NO REASON FOR TEXAS SCARE EAST ST. LOUIS BIOTS WILL NOT AFFECT THE SUPREME LODGE ENGAMMENT IN ST. LOUIS AUGUST 19-25. GRAND CHANCELLOR GREEN WIRES "PAY NO ATTENTION TO REPORT OTHERWISE." COMMITTEE EXPECTS GRANDEST EVENT IN HISTORY OF LODGE. BIGGEST MILITARY DEMONSTRATION EVER MADE. MANY BIG BANDS COMING The report given out by the Grand Chancellor of the K. of P. of Texas, this week, that the Supreme Lodge would not meet in St. Louis in August, because of the East St. Louis riots was absolutely false and an injustice to the Order and the Supreme Committee that is working so stronically to make the St. Louis encampment the greatest in the history of the Supreme Lodge. In refutation of the false alarm, Supreme Chancellor Green sent the following telegram to the secretary of the Ways and Means Committee at St. Louis, Thursday. New Orleans, La., 7-12-1917. W. E. Osborne, St. Louis, Mo. Supreme Lodge will meet in St. Louis. August 21 next. Pay no attention to report otherwise. The above should be sufficient to disperl all doubt. East St. Louis is a different city than St. Louis and in an other state. Its troubles had nothing to do with the big Missouri Metropolis except to extract sympathy which was freely given by white and Colored citizens alike whose hospitality is unlimited. If the Texas contingent concludes to stay away from the Supreme Encampment August 19 to 23, it will have no affect upon the success of the big international event. Plans are being laid for the greatest gathering in the history of Pythianism. From the vast amount of mail being received from all over the world, the event will be an imposing one. Among the uniform representation will be eight companies from Tennessee; ten companies from Arkansas; 15 companies, three troops and band from Illinois; 14 companies and band from Indiana; three regiments, including a ladies' hospital corps, a fire department and brigade band from Pennsylvania; one regiment and band from Kansas City; eight companies, brigade staff and band from Kentucky. Between eight and ten thousand uniformed men in camp are assured. The plans for the camp grounds are elaborate. The Brig. Gen. and staff and tented city will be on the west side of the military grounds; the concitions and main entrance will take up Market Street; the visiting bands will occupy the entire southern portion and to give an idea of the fact that the demand for space has outgrown expectations, it has been found necessary to remove the hospital and corps from the grounds to the United Railway tract at the northeast corner of Compton and Market. At least 50 men will be required for several days putting the grounds in readiness for the army of mechanics and electricians, composing the advance guard which will arrive in 58. Louis not later than August 12. BUTLER & GQES_TO KANSAS CITY General Butler will leave for Kansas City, Mo., Friday evening to inspect the dress parade of the Second Regiment, Sunday, July 15. This will be the last dress parade of the regiment before its comes to the encampment accompanied by its band of 52 pieces. SEVERAL COLORED LADIES AP POINTED REGISTRARS FOR JULY 28 Several Colored women have been appointed registrars for the Food Conservation Registration Saturday, July 28. The object of the move is to receive pledges from all women who will volunteer to assist in the conservation of food. Another pledge will also be provided by the National Defense Council. The registration will be unlike the one of June 5 in that the pledges will be entirely voluntary. The ward captains will meet on the second floor of Nugent's Uptown Store, at Olive and Vandeventer, Saturday morning at 10 a.m. Cards, bills and letterheads.

THE MOB VS. THE LAW 5 . There are tu, very vital questions confronting the American people in this.eountry today, whieh should demand the attention of the best thinking people, to the end that they should rise in their righteous indignation and call a HALT. The mob spirit breeds con- tempt for law and order. Laxity in enforeing the law always - courages the violator. Human nature rebels against law and order. ‘On aceount of the fact that man to man is so unjust, we have found it necessary to fill Ae statutory books to overflowing with legislation called law. Law is divine in its nature, in that it is no respecter of persons. It is strong and powerful when it is enforced, but weak and contemptible when neglected ‘ The mob-watehes the law, and is always ready, to attack it wheneyer and wherever:it shows weakness. Those who form mobs have seen for a half century that the law is weak so far as Négroés’ Fights are concerned. They have seen that the constable, the sheriff, the police, the judge-and the jury have all fallen before the monster PREJUDICE, when called upon_to anforce the law, where both races are inyolyed. Prejudice always overbalances justice in favor of the mob. : 7 ; a ‘ During the tecent outbreak of mob violence in East St. Louis, the officers of the law-and the city officials gave license to the riotérs by their partiality in favor of the whites, While the mob was form- ing, all Negroes seen upon the streets were searched for arms, while the white meh were allowed ta pass"unnoticed. Negro homes were entered, searched, ransacked and looted by officers on pretense that arms might be fouid therein. AH this*was done before those who make-up the mob, What more assurance should anyone need? The results were certain,, Mob triumphs. Law hangs its head in shame. ‘NEGROES SHOULD RETUEN ce riot at East: St, po has occ }, throughout ‘this tountry af to om the fury of the moh ve r ind order have been restored, iereis a division among the Ne eful: and logical reasouing on the interested. ‘The voluntary acts of e whole race ‘for generations to ¢ we, O8 a racé, will voluntarily sur ens tothe cries and: whims of th nen, Conditions may so develop emporarily driven from their ho ‘ther causes, bit the brave and tz we leave permanently, the. mobs se. The employers, the state and ction, and have vowed to make law-abiding people. The Negre The recent race riot at East: St, aaa has occasioned. much -dis- cussion, no doubt, throughout ‘this tountry af to whether the Ne- xraes who fled from the fury of the mob. ve returny to. East St. Louis since law.and order have been restored, . * Of course, there is a division among the Negroes themselves, This calls for eareful and logical reasoning on the part of all who are in any way interested. “The voluntary acts of those who have left will affect the whole race ‘for generations te come. It will de- termine whether we, as a race, will vélantarily surrender oii rights as American citizens to the cries and whims of the Jabor unions ‘or any other set of nen. Conditios may so develop that any class of citizens utay be temporarily driven from their homes, perhaps, by inob violence or other causes, birt the brave and true will retarn to their homes. If we leave permanently, the mobs will have accom- plished their puirpée. The employers, the state and city officials have guaranteed protection, and have vowed to make East St. Louis: a safe place for all law-abiding people: The Negroes should return at once. as eS ¢ ROMs THEODORE ROOSEVELT * True to himself true to his God and tre to his ideals of Amer. ican’ principles, Cofonel Theodore Roosevelt could not face the: guests of the nation with a two-faced address, at ‘Carnegie ‘Hall, in New York, reeently. We dare say that riot another man in this great country would have had the ‘courage, forethought: and initiative-to have said a word about the ‘beam in’our eye’ while we were trying to pull. the ‘‘mote’’ out of the Russians’ eye undér like circum. stances. He did not stop to eoin some new phrase or to sugar-coat the eyils of this nation: he simply pulled the cover off in the follow- ing language: g os ; en “Before. we do justice to. otliery {t behooves us to. do justice within our borders. I refer to the race riots in East St. Louis for which, as far as we can see, there wag na provocation and whieh re- sulted in such appalling brutality’ as to leave a stain on the Amer. ican name. 1t,is our duty to demand that thé govenimental author. ities shall use with ruthless severity” every power at their command: to punish .those, guilty of murder, whether committed by whites against blacks or whether by blacks against whites. It is our duty to insist first of all.on the restoration of order and the reign of law. Upon the foundation of law and ordér we’ must build the strueture . of justice.””, 3 a . “hee -_ The Colonel is to be congratifated by all fair-minded people.

We rightfully look for this from prominent men who ought always to be pub- Jicists, . But in ouf inconsiderate haste we ineist on immediate’ declara- tions of opinion from those whom. we are accustomed to follow. _ Not only must their views be given instantly, but they must also be sharp and decided. . “Thus those who should be the leaders of public thought too frequently become panderers to public, impatience, They are too often coxhpetitors for publicity. They strive to-get on the front page of the first edition of the newspapers. To do this, speeches and interviews even. on the gravest and most complicated questions are prepared with frantic precipi- ‘fancy and in lurid language. That necessary delay required by gathering and mastering data and caréfully working out the problem which it pre~ sents ‘would. make out-of date the publication of the conclusions thus formed; while cool and balaiced language’ would lack that sting and’ eccentricity at present so attractive to our taste.

With sad hearts we chronicle the death of Geo. W. Porter who was called to give an account of the deeds done in the body June 29, 1917. Mr. Porter had been ill about eleven months with an affection of the kidneys, and while at times his condition gave hope of recovery, it was not to be, and the immortal spirit struggling to be free, burst its bonds of clay and ascended to its maker. Geo. W. Porter was born at Lancaster, B. C., July 8, 1863; he had resided in St. Louis about 25 years. He had a large circle of friends, who loved him for his strogh character, broad charity and splendid ability. He was married in 1894, to Miss Lavinia E. Stewart, who died in 1903. He was a member of Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church, and for years was identified with the Masonic Order, being a Fast Master of the Alexander McGee Lodge No. 3, and District Deputy Grand Master of Mo. for 3 years. He was united in matriarchy to Miss Lennie C. Russ of Farmington, Iowa, in 1913 who survives him. The loving wife, relatives' and friends who mourn the separation, should remember that their loss is his eternal gain, that becoming tired, he laid his burden down, and went to his reward. "The dead do not weep, hearts of dust do not break," he is at rest. Let us therefore abay the divine command "Mumurm not, bow and accept the condition lot."—F. C. V. Scanie Lovings Eldridge, 31 years old, passed from this life July 8, after a brief illness. She was buried from her home, 3432 Hickory St., Tuesday evening, July 10. The remains were interred at Greenwood Cemetery. She was a loving wife, a devoted mother; and leaves to mourn her loss, a husband, Thos. Eldridge, two children, a mother, Mrs. Martha Taylor, three sisters, two brothers, a host of relatives and friends.

Dean of Moody Bible Institute Chicago TEXT—Rapent ye therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that so there may come seasons of 'freaking from the presence of the Lord; and that he may send the Christ; who hath been appointed for you, even Jesus: whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, whereof God spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old.—Acts 3:19-21. Here are the four great steps in the path of Divine grace. (1) The First is Repentance, "repent ye, therefore." Repentance means a change of mind. These Jews to whom Peter was speaking had "denied the Holy One and the Just," and "killed the Prince of life." For them to repent was to change their mind about him, and to come to look upon him as he was, namely their own (1) The First Is. Repentance, "repent ye, therefore." Repentance means a change of mind. These Jews to whom Peter was speaking had "denied the Holy One and the Just," and "killed the Prince of life." For them to repent was to change their mind about him, and to come to look upon him as he was, namely their own Messiah and the Savior of men. The change this would produce, in their lives and in their attitude towards him is very obvious. Repentance means the same in your case or mine. It means believing on Jesus Christ as he is presented in the Bible, and conforming our lives thereto. (2) The Second Step is Remission of Sins, "that your sins may be blotted out," the sins even of these murderers of his Son whom he had raised from the dead, if now they would believe on and accept him as such. And this same promise holds good for us, no matter what our guilt is. "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." "Blotted out" is the translation of a Greek word which means so much! Xenophon and Demosthenes use it in the sense of "expunging" a thing. Aeschylus employs it in the sense of "arthrush." Herodotus to plaster over" an object, and others to wipe out as with a sponge or a cloth. Judicially considered in the sight of God, there is no more trace of your sins the moment they are covered by the blood of Christ. And that is the moment when in repentance you receive him as your Savior by faith. That is what Peter means in his first epistle, where he speaks of the "abundant mercy" of God. (3) The Third Step is Refreshing, "that so there may come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord." It suggests agriculture. There is first the plowing up of the ground and sowing of the seed, that: is repentance. Then there is germination and the coming up of the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear; that is the blotting out of sin, and the entrance of the sinner upon a new life. But following this there must be the refreshing showers of rain to keep everything green, and to bring the life to its complete and beautiful fruition. And so in the spiritual life, God who begins the good work in us continues it. After we are saved and forgiven, he does not leave us to ourselves, but provides for our growth in grace and in his knowledge. Times of refreshing are sent from his presence. On the day of Pentecost such a refreshing came when the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit. Later on they were filled again. The same spirit came on them of Samaria, upon Cornelius and his household, and upon the young Christians at Ephesus. The history of true revivals in all the centuries has been a fulfillment of this promise. They have been times of refreshing to men's souls. Every sincere Christian of long experience can look back over the years and count the times when God has seemed to open the windows of heaven to him and poured out blessings on his soul. It is for such a time of refreshing we plead every time we sing that familiar verse. Come, Holy, Spirit, heavenly dove; With all thy quickening powers; Kindle a fame of sacred love; In these cold hearts of ours. Oh, for such a time of refreshing to come now in the heart of every Christian thus addressed! What treasure on earth is comparable with such a fresh breath from heaven! (4) Finally, There is Reward, "that he may send the Christ who hath been appointed for you, even Jesus." The coming of Jesus again is a certain event of the future, and how near it is none of us can know. To the wicked and unbelieving it is a time of wrath and of fear, but to them who have come to God through him, it is the time of their salvation in the fullest sense. It is the time of resurrection if they have died, and dead or alive when he comes, it is the time of their glorification with him. It is the time of their reward, for then will he set up his kingdom. Oh, who that has never done so will be persuaded today, thus to turn to God? Who will be moved by the tender pleadings of his mercy towards us in Jesus Christ? "Today, if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts." INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL [By R. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.] (Copyright, 1817, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JULY 15. HEZEKIAH, THE FAITHFUL KING. LESSON TEXT-II Chron. 201. GOLDEN TEXT-He that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.-Heb. II.6. The reformation under Hezekiah is one of the bright and attractive spots in the latter history of the kingdom of Israel. It was a most thorough reformation and God set his seal upon it in many wonderful ways. Teachers ought to give their classes a comprehensive view of all that Hezekiah did, as recorded in II Chron. chapters 20-32. L. Hezekiah's Proclamation. (vv. 1-6). The proper introduction to this lesson would be to return to chapter twenty-nine and note the restoration of the worship of Jehovah. How it began in one man's heart, Hezekiah; how he called the people to be clean (29:15), then called upon a cleansing of the house of God and its restoration (vv. 18, 19). How he called them renewed sacrifice and worship (vv. 20, 21). The restoration of the sin-offering and of the burnt-offering, and the result of these offerings in the Levitical music and in the worship of the great congregation (29, 25). The sequel of song always follows and accompanies a true revival of religion. Having consecrated themselves unto the Lord, Hezekiah sends out this proclamation. The consecration of the people, as referred in chapter 29, was very complete. (See vv. 31-36.) Hezekiah was a man of deep discernment as well as of true deity. He saw the meaning of the sacrifice of redemption and put the passover forward as the very heart-center of the worship of Jehovah. (See vv. 1, 2.) Who underestudes God's way of salvation. (See Exodus 12:13-23; I Cor. 5:7, 8; Rom. 3:25, 28; John 1:29.) Hezekiah did not confine his call to those of Israel alone, but understood God's way of salvation. (See Exodus 12:13-23; I Cor. 5:7, 8; Rom. 3:25, 28; John 1:29.) Hezekiah had simple Scriptural warrant keeping this passover out of its regular order (vv. 9-13). God is not a God of time or place. Wherever obedience is possible, whether it be a matter of time or not, God approves. Hezekiah, however, did not act upon his own initiative, but sought counsel. (See vv. 2.) The man who is the most clearly led of God is the man who is most eager and anxious to know how God is leading other men and will listen most patiently to their counsel. The fact that the people had not "gathered themselves together at Jerusalem" for a long time, might have warranted a further delay. Not so with this enthusiastic young king. He was not bound by precedent, but was anxious to please God. II. Hezekiah's Exhortation (vv. 7-13). Hezekiah began his exhortation by calling attention to the trespasses of their fathers (v. 7). At the same time he reminds them that if God gave them over to desolation because they themselves were stiff-necked (v. 8) and yielded not themselves unto the Lord to enter his sanctuary, which he had sanctified unto them, they would come under the fierceness of God's wrath, for they had turned from the Lord; they had "trespassed against the Lord God of their fathers." Because of that trespass God had "given them up to desolation." Literally he had made them "an astonishment." This astonishment and desolation was well known, "as ye see" (v. 7). Anyone with eyes open can see today the desolation of individuals, of families, communities and nations who trespass against God. For a generation we have had the deity of Christ and the inspiration of his Word, called into question and that the individual man is the dictator of his own conscience and life, and it is because men have departed from their faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ and fail to obey his command, that we see the strife and desolation of today. The first departure caused people to be "stiff-necked" and Jehovah is calling them to repentance, but they would not hear (see Ch. 36:13; Ex. 32:9; Rom. 10:21). In place of this "stiff-neckness" of their hearts' Hezekiah entrents, they to turn again to the Lord and not to be stiff-necked as were their fathers. (v. 8), that if they will turn again unto the Lord (v. 9) they will find compassion so that they shall again enter his gracious and merciful dealings. Having yielded themselves they were to enter into communion with him and "enter into his sanctuary, which he had sanctified forever." They were also to serve him. Most blessed results were to follow for them and for their brethren and their children, but all of this bright prospect is conditioned upon repentance, surrender, communion and service, which is based upon the fact that Jehovah "is gracious and merciful" (Ex. 34: 6, 7; Ps. 86: 5; Jonah 4: 2; Mark 7: 18). Then, even as now, there were those who would not yield themselves to God's gracious invitation. As the priests passed through the country of Ephraim and Mangashe, even unto Zebulun, they were "laughed to scorn and some macked" (v. 10). Church Director St. James A. M. E.

THEATRES ARCHIE AND WALTER JONES FEATURE BOOKER WASHINGTON SHOW. Archie and Walter Jones are featuring the bill at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. This team is playing a return engagement and opened Monday night with a new act, but were compelled, by popular demand to repeat their previous big hit "The Migrators." The act is most timely as it harmonizes with the thousands of cases affected by the recent East St. Louis riot. The work of these performers is entirely original and their comedy lines draw a continuous round of applause. Their opening descriptive song is making as big a hit as when first presented and their closing "In The Jail House Now," is going bigger. The act ranks with the best that has appeared here. Miss Anna Holt, a truly sweet singer, is presenting three good song numbers, "Four Butterfly," "Loving Heart" and "I Called You Sweetheart." She also gives a few monologue narratives that are humorous and original. Her work is of a high class and is well received. Two other nets on the bill are Green and Bailey, McNeil and MeNeil. Both are mixed teams and their nets are made up of songs, dances and comic conversations. NEXT WEEK The bill at the Booker Washington Theatre, next week, will include Elsie Barrow, a female single; Van Clay and Brown, a sister team; House and House, a mixed team of comedy prevaricators and Dounveor and Dounveor a mixed singing and dancing team. The third series of Official War Pictures will be shown on Wednesday night. The matinee for the benefit of the East St. Louis refugees, last Saturday afternoon at the B. W. was a big artistic and financial success. All acts playing at the theatre last week contributed the regular program with the addition of Heani Bowman who appeared in a special with Bessie La Belle. A supplementary program consisted of exercise exhibitions by Jack Mitchell, colored welter weight champion of the world; Walter Farrington in a piano solo; and complete programs by the singers and orchestras of the following cabarets: Moody's, Mills, and Collins. The total amount raised and turned over to the N. A. A. C. P., by Mr. Turpin was $58.94, made up as follows: The Booker Washington Theater has a Bell phone, Bomont 2208, installed for the convenience of its patrons. BIG ATTRACTION BOOKED The biggest and best attraction that has ever played at the Booker Washington Theatre is booked, for two weeks, beginning Monday July 30.

Making Eggs Count. It is not such a hard job to market eggs so that one gets the best prices and so that none of the eggs spoil. One poultry raiser offers these simple precautions for improving the egg crop: 1. Confine or sell all roosters after May 15. The rooster makes eggs fertile. Fertile eggs spoll. 2. Provide plenty of roomy, clean, well-littered nests. Dirty nests cause dirty eggs and dirty eggs spoll quickly. You need a nest for every five or six hens. 3. Gather the eggs twice a day during warm weather. 4. Put your eggs in a good, serviceable crate equipped with sound, clean filters, and fats. Keep them in a cool cellar or milk room until you take them to town. 5. Market your eggs at least once a week (and offender if you have enough to make it practical). 6. Use dirty, weak-shelled and mis-shaped eggs at home. They are all right if used right away, but are hard to handle on the way to the consumer. 7. If possible, sell to a buyer who pays more for good than for bad eggs. FOUND AT LAST HOUSE AND HOUSE Comedy Prevaricetern.

Y., predicts that by 1940 half the women in the country will be self-supporting, and that marriages will gradually decrease in number. "It is a startling fact that young women are not marrying today," he said, according to the New York Evening Journal. "Hundreds of thousands are going into business. The supreme mission of women in life should be to become mothers and to make homes. The objection that many have to be married is that they become dependents." Doctor Amos said that all through New England there are many villages which are known as "she villages." The men have left for the large cities in the hope of gaining wealth. "Men are largely responsible for the failure of women to marry," he said. "Many men are too busy making money to marry, or refuse to marry on small salaries. This has forced women into business." "Statistics show that in 1900 one out of every five women was self-supporting. By 1925 one out of every three, and by 1940, one out of every two will be self-supporting." Mother's Cook Book. Mushrooms. The amateur may learn a few of the common edible kinds of mushrooms, and staying by them will be perfectly safe. No silver spoon or other such test should be relied upon. The puffball, which is so often found in woody places and grows to a large size, is a kind which need never be feared. Peel the ball and slice it in thin slices. Often one puffball will weigh several pounds and will furnish food for several families. Brolled Mushrooms Peel the mushroom and take out the stem, if it is the kind with gilia. Butter the broiler and lay in the cap, gills upward. Drop a bit of butter into each cap, sprinkle with salt and pepper and broil delicately until the butter has melted into the flesh of the mushroom. Serve immediately on hot buttered toast. A few mushrooms fried in a little butter added to creamed chicken makes a most daisy morsel. Mushrooms also are an addition to sweet-breads and, cooked and chilled, may be added to salad with good results. Mushroom Soup. Wash and dry a pound and a half of mushrooms. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan; add one aliceal onion and the mushrooms. Fry for five minutes; take out 12 of the smallest mushrooms and set aside. Add three pints of water to the contents of the saucepan, one blade of mace and salt and pepper to season. Let cook slowly until the mushrooms are tender, then rub them through a sieve and return to the saucepan; add the small reserved mushrooms, together with two teaspoonfuls of mushroom catsup. Mix a tablespoonful of flour with one of milk and let cook gently for five minutes: Warm a cupful of cream, put in the soup tureen and add the soup. Serve very hot. Escaloped Mushrooms. Put mushrooms in a buttered baking dish with alternate layers of buttered crumbs, seasoning each layer plentifully, with butter, salt and pepper and a gill of cream. Bake 20 minutes, keeping covered while in the oven. Baked Mushrooms Prepare the mushrooms as for broiling. Spread slices of bread with butter, then cover each slice with mushrooms. Put the baking pan into a hot oven for five minutes, then draw out and season each mushroom with butter, pepper and salt. Push the pan back and bake until the mushrooms are tender. Serve on the bread, which should be delicately browned. Dry fruits and sweet corn and such other vegetables as may be-preserved in this way. Can only products that cannot be kept otherwise. Concentrate products so that each jar or can will hold as much food and as little water as possible. There is a shortage of containers. Don't let one be wasted in your home. Empty spices and similar materials from jars and fill them with food. Reserve regular, tight-sealing, containers for perishable vegetables, meat and fish. Use wide-necked bottles with parsufin scales for putting up fruit and preserves; use glasses of crocks for jellies and jams; use bottles and jars corked and sealed with parsula for fruit jice, cottups and other liquid products. --- Are carefully selected and presented properly at great expense with our famous $7,000 Orchestration, equal to 9 pieces of good orchestra, including a pipe organ.
