SEPARATE UNITS NOW PLANNED FOR DRAFTED NEGROES Colored Soldiers Will Be Divided Among Different Cantonments—Asked to Volunteer to Work Along Roads and Railwayz—No Negroes Will Be Sent to Camps In the First 40 Per Cent Contingent—Camps Not Ready. The latest decision on the Negro draft puzzle, as reported from Washington is, that Colored troops of the National Army will be organized in separate units, as is done in the regular army, and as far as possible will be trained in the states where they enter the service. The call for drafted Negroes to mobilize at their camps will be postponed to allow officers at the camp to arrange for these separate units. This means that the Negroes will be divided among the several cantonments and that the Northerners will be sent to camps, in the south, nearest their states. The government estimates that 70,000 Negroes will be called into service. Although the opportunity to volunteer for combatant service has been denied Colored men, the authorities state they will be given an opportunity to volunteer for service on the line of communication, which is menial labor, but considered military. There also will be Negro fighting regiments of the National Army. One half of the drafted men are to be ready for the camps immediately and will begin entraining Sept. 19. St. Louis will have 4,377 in the first quota, of which about one fifteenth will be Negroes, but no disposition has been made to call them with the first contingent. Only white men will be in the first 40 per cent. MEN EXPECTED HOME FROM ROFF DES MOINES SUNDAY FORT DES MOINES SUNDAY The St. Louis men now at the officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines will complete their course of three months Saturday. The men should arrive home Sunday morning and may be in the Y. M. C. A. parade in the afternoon. ICE BY WEIGHT, FULL MEASURES OF COAL AND VEGETABLES NEW LAW The new Weights and Measures law has gone into effect. It will immediately effect all, except hucksters and commission men, who have been granted 60 days to get their measures right. Ice men must carry scales. Retail coal merchants, will be arrested unless their baskets are marked 80 lbs. to a bushel and 40 lbs. to a half bushel. busser and to look to a half busser. Commissioner Weeke said coal dealers have been selling about 25 pounds in a basket that was supposed to represent a bushel of coal. Another important feature of the new law is that requiring a "heaped" measure in the sale of vegetable products by the dry measure. The peck measure must be heaped to a perfect cone, and should contain 15 pounds of Irish potatoes and 14 pounds of sweet potatoes. Hucksters have been in the habit of giving a level measure that contains only 12 pounds. Commissioner Weeke said, and he advises every housewife to buy a scale and measure the products she buys. If they are short weight, she should report to Weeke, who will investigate personally and prosecute the offending huckster, he said. Next spring the retail grocers, butchers and hucksters will be required to sell berries in boxes that represent a pint or a peck, instead of the old style boxes that contain from a half to two-thirds of a pint.

Seven persons were injured when an automobile, belonging to Tom Turpin, 2333 Market St., was wrecked by an eastbound Hodiamont car last Sunday morning between 4 and 4:30. The car was being driven by Joe Froy and was going north on Whittier street when struck. The street car was traveling at such speed that the auto was pushed along the exposed tracks for 118 feet before the motorman could stop. In the auto, besides the chauffeur, were: Ralph Miller, 4298 W. Gaffield; Clarence Craig and Miss Birdie Craig, 2228 Chestnut; Lawrence W. Holmes, 2813 Market; Jessie Johnson, 2921 Lawton and — — Coleman, 2625 Pine. All were injured, but none seriously except Craig, who is suffering from an injury of his head. Three of the occupants were rendered unconscious by the impact, two being taken to the dispensary. The car was badly wrecked, but the fact that it did not turn over saved the occupants from being killed. The chauffeur, who had to be lifted from the wreck, left the scene of the accident and has not been located since. Mayor of East St. Louis Charged With Malfeasance In Office—Denounced In Report—Asked to Resign by Citizens and Ministers—Congress Appoints Investigating Committee.—Bundy Losses First Point In Extradition Case. Mayor Fred W. Mollman of East St. Louis, who was elected on a "law and order" platform in 1915, and who was re-elected last Spring, has been indicted by the St. Clair county grand jury on a charge of malfeasance in office, based on his failure to take measures to check the East St. Louis race riot and massacre of Negroes July 2. The grand jury said in its report, that whether Mollman's inaction was due to fright, to inability or to sympathy with the rioters, he showed his unfitness for office. It said that, so long as he remained in office, "a coterie of corrupt politicians" would continue to hamper efforts for good government, and it urged citizens to demand his resignation, "as the greatest good he can do his city." Mollman's secretary, Maurice Ahearn, was indicted on the charge of being a conspirator in the riot, the specific charge being that he ordered policemen to arrest photographers and to smash cameras, thus preventing the making of photographs and moving pictures which would have served as evidence against the guilty mem. "No man gave greater aid to the rioters than Ahearn," the grand jury declares in its report. Thirty-seven others were also indicted. This makes 144 who must face trial, including two women. The Committee of One Hundred, and the ministers of East St. Louis have asked Mollman to resign. This he refuses to do and is supported by all but one of the city commilmen. HOUSE NAMES COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE BIOTS. Washington, Sept. 11.—Representatives Johnson, Kentucky; Baker, California; Foster, Illinois; Cooper, Wisconsin, and Foss, Illinois, were named by Speaker Clark today as a special committee to investigate whether interstate commerce or travel was interfered with in East St. Louis during the recent race riots. The resolution was introduced by Representative L. C. Dyer of St. Louis, Mo. A Senate resolution for investigation also has favorably been acted upon in committee. It has been reported that the application of Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, for a writ of habeas corpus at Cleveland, O., has been denied. Bundy is wanted in East St. Louis to answer a charge of murder in connection with the riots. His case now rests with Gov. Cox of Ohio, who has been asked to grant extradition. EAST ST.

CHURCHES METROPOLITAN NOTES Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church has again become a veritable beehive. In the launching of the fall rally, it goes without saying that that people is a great force in the spiritual uplift in St. Louis. To connect with Metropolitan means to connect with success. Every song and sermon is inspiring. Sunday, Sept. 16th, is coal day. Every friend and member of the church is asked to be present. The Literary Society has become one of the important features of the church. Live issues for general discussions every Thursday night. It is a place for lawyers, doctors and business men, who shall like to get in touch with the masses. Let Old St. Louis wake up and get in touch with the people, the business and professional man. Metropolitan, with its great masses, welcomes you. Let the leaders pull off their kid gloves and stop being imposing and get down to hard work. These remarks by our pastor a few Sabbaths ago brought much applause. The pastor will preach his first series of sermons Sunday morning from "'The Holy Ghost and His Mission in the World;'" Sunday night, "'The Battle of the Eye." EL BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH Last Sunday, was communion day at El Bethel Baptist Church, and the meetings were good throughout the day. The temperance lesson was an interesting feature of the Sunday School Sunday morning. Mr. Cook, president of the B. Y. P. U., was very much encouraged by the excellent meeting Sunday evening. The members of the Literary Society were very glad to welcome Mr. Clark and Miss Edna Perry as new members at their last meeting. Miss Anna Edwards has returned from Frankfort, Mich., where she has been visiting friends. All were glad to welcome the many visitors present last Sunday. Rev. W. W. Perry, pastor; Mr. S. M. Tankins, secretary. SEVEN CHURCH BAPTIST UNION The Seven Church Baptist Union met with the Galilee Baptist Church Monday night. Rev. J. W. Hall, Pastor.

Allen, pastor. Take Market car, get off at Montrose Ave. Sermon by Rev. J. W. Hall. All are invited to worship with us. Rev. J. W. Hall, president; Rev. L. E. Molton, secretary.

The women of the Union are still putting forth every effort to make this work a success. An invitation is extended to all Baptist sisters to attend our meeting. Rev. G. W. Clemmona, pastor; Mrs. A. Hall, president; Mrs. B. Coker, secretary. The B. Y. P. U. of Leonard Avenue Baptist Church is progressing rapidly under the splendid leadership of Brother Benj. F. Small.

Dr. Terrill is one of the foremost preachers of the Baptist denomination. He is pastor of the Diamond Hill Baptist church, Lynchburg, the teacher of theology in the seminary there. He is returning from the Muskogee National Baptist convention. A most inspiring gospel message is in store for all who hear him Sunday morning. On Monday night at the church there will be given by the members and departments of the church a testimonial to Deacon J. G. Pettiford, who is celebrating his 82nd birthday. It will be an informal pleasant evening with Deacon and Sister Pettiford. Friends are asked to bring a piece of silver money. Refreshments will be served. The deacons and deaconeses will have charge.

Frank McDonald, of Kansas City, filled the pulpit Sunday morning to the delight of his many friends and preached a powerful sermon. The doctor is one of the general officers of the church and enjoys the distinction of being one of the best writers in the journalistic field today. Sunday afternoon Dr. Johnson with a part of his congregation attended St. James and assisted Dr. Peck and his worthy congregation in their fourth quarterly meeting. It can be truthfully said that St. James is spiritually alive and we are told that their Sunday morning prayer meetings are well attended and usually accompanied by the presence of the Holy Spirit. Dr. Johnson is bending every effort on his last days of the conference year to make a round report and he should have the support of every member in this laudable work and from all indications, the hands on the compass point towards success. Dr. Johnson will deliver one of his famous sermons Sunday morning. Come early. MT. OLIVE BAPSTAT CHURCH 1429 N. 12TH ST. Rev. C. Cromwell of Marion, Ind., preached a wonderful sermon at 11 a.m. Sunday. His subject being "Prayer and Faith." At 3 p.m. we had a crowded house of worshippers for the covenant, which was truly great. At 8 p.m. Rev. Harris. of Mississippi, preached a short stirring sermon, after which Holy Communion was administered by the pastor. We are preparing for a grand rally the fifth Sunday, Sept. 30, and every sister church of the Antioch Association is requested to assist us. We cordially invite strangers also, as you will have every courtesy accorded you. REV. D. W. MORRIS, Pastor. Berea is known as a "friendly church." Our latch-string hangs out at all times and a standing invitation is given all lovers of good, sound doctrine to attend the services. We feel that your coming and getting acquainted with us helps both of us. Our services are brief but to the point. We strive to entertain our guests in such a way that they will return and in turn bring others. We desire that you know us. In coming to Berea you have opportunity to worship with us and then attend another church if you so desire. Wont you come next Sunday? Special selections by the choir each Sunday. The message brought by the missionary from Africa last Sunday morning was indeed interesting. Come, visit us just once and we feel that you will come again REV. S. W. PARR, Pastor. ST. JAMES A.M.E; CHUBCH A large and appreciative congregation worshipped at St. James Sunday morning. Dr. Peek preached a special sermon in honor of the laying of the corner stone of the new Y. M. C. A. building. He selected his text from St. John, 10th Chapter, latter clause of the 10th verse, "I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly." Theme: "Life Abundant." If you notice the picture of the new building you will see the shape is that of a triangle. "The Y. M. C. A. has a three-fold purpose, said the speaker, to develop the young men mentally, physically and spiritually. The most essential of these three is the development of the spiritual side." He made a strong appeal to the youth to make the most of their opportunities and become strong and useful Christian man and good citizens. The quarterly meeting was well attended in the afternoon. Rev. Clark preached a splendid sermon. Dr. J. Frank MacDonald preached a practical sermon at the evening service. Text: "I thought on my ways." Junior Endeavor The Junior Endeavor is one of the most interesting departments of the church. It is a beautiful sight to see these strong and happy children, not satisfied with Sunday school but come again in the evening, in the sweetness of their innocent childhood, eager to learn more of the story of the lowly Nazarene; Mrs. Haydee Campbell, the oldest kindergarten among our people and the host was the guest of the juniors Sunday. She told them beautiful stories, as no one else can tell them. Commencement Exercises The first graduating class in Teachers' Training will hold their exercises at St. James Sunday night, Sept. 11.

The future safety of the Colored people throughout the United States depends upon the nation being taught that arrest, trial, conviction and punishment shall be the portion of those who assail persons because they are Colored, as surely as such assault is made. Colored people alone can give this lesson. We are giving it now and it shall be given most thoroughly; but we must have the help we are here asking for. To this date, $1,067.00 has been contributed for this purpose and $648.00 has been expended. Attorneys, detectives and court fees and other expense create need for a total of $5,000.00. We publish fortnightly, in available newspapers, reports of all money received and all expenditures and we will furnish interested persons with copies of these reports on request.

NEGROES AGAIN INSULTED been stated that over six hundred thousand and enlisted in the various departments of Army and Navy, since the war has existed be this country. Migro has been willing to volunteer his service during all this time, but has been persecuted. Just why this has been done, no one has reaction. However, much speculation, as been indulged in. Protest after protest, a man, have been taken to the war department, those who have the power of speaking and one of the United States in the prosecution act, would be able to see the injustice as well as such an example of discriminating on account but we are sorry to say it has been of no avail. It has been stated that over six hundred thousand men have volunteered and enlisted in the various departments of the United States Army and Navy, since the war has existed between Germany and this country. The Negro has been willing to volunteer his services along with other men during all this time, but has been persistently denied that right. Just why this has been done, no one has explained to our satisfaction. However, much speculation, as to the real cause, has been indulged in. Protest after protest, and petition after petition, have been taken to the war department with the hope that those who have the power of speaking and acting for all the people of the United States in the prosecution and conducting this war, would be able to see the injustice as well as the danger in setting such an example of discriminating on account of race or color. But we are sorry to say it has been of no avail. STEVEDOERS and like adding insult to injury when it was daily press that the War Department waged groves to do the menial work behind the lines. Negro the right to enlist in any branch of service is an injury to his feelings. But to other races, or nationalities, aliens or enemies, service is wanted as volunteer only to do a duty, is an insult of the rankest kind. As in the first class, the Negro has won that reply to the flag, no one can reasonably doubt. Highest officials of the land goad him with enough for the Negro to be compelled to against local prejudices, but when it is carried States government service, it is just a stomach without protest. Back soldier in France is on an equal basis with there is no color line drawn. His opportunity, ideal soldier is not denied him. It may be Africa, desire to send the Negroes to France, in order to make their prejudice effect more cannot make cowards of the brave Negro race. They have proven their work in the most trying circumstances, in all the land it is our prayer, that this present war men Negro willl be given the chance to show his loyalty, to show his patriotism and prove his as all other men have had the chance. It looked like adding insult to injury when it was announced through the daily press that the War Department wanted a regiment of Negroes to do the menial work behind the lines in France. To deny the Negro the right to enlist in any branch of the government service is an injury to his feelings. But to select him from all other races, or nationalities, aliens or enemies, and say to him that his service is wanted as volunteer only to do menial labor for his country, is an insult of the rankest kind. As a fighter and a soldier of the firstclass, the Negro has won that reputation. As to his loyalty to the flag, no one can reasonably doubt. Then why should the highest officials of the land guard him with such injustices? It is enough for the Negro to be compelled to fight continuously against local prejudices, but when it is carried so boldly into the United States government service, it is just a little more than we can stomach without protest. The black soldier in France is on an equal basis with the white soldier. There is no color line drawn. His opportunity for proving himself an ideal soldier is not denied him. It may be, the white men in America, desire to send the Negroes to France as servants and not soldiers in order to make their prejudice effective. All of this and still more cannot make cowards of the brave men and youths of the Negro race. They have proven their worth and their valor, under the most trying circumstances, in all the wars of this country. And it is our prayer, that this present war may continue until the Negro will be given the chance to show his manhood, to show his loyalty, to show his patriotism and prove his valor as a soldier even as all other men have had the chance.

The cornerstone laying for the new Y. M. C. A building which is to take place Sunday, will be an epoch making event in St. Louis. The committee, on arrangement, states that a large crowd of our town-folks and quite a few out-of-town people are expected to take part in the event. This is right and proper. The history of the campaign that made this building possible is most interesting. It will be recalled that the colored people of St. Louis during a ten-day campaign raised in subscriptions nearly seventy thousand dollars. This was the largest amount ever raised by colored people for a similar purpose. One single gift of five thousand dollars by Mr. and Mrs. Malone was the largest of its kind made by colored people. There were also more one thousand dollar subscriptions to the fund than to any other previous building fund. These are some of the big things in the history of the work. The Bigger Things That Follow ered a deal of work to secure the pledges, husiasm on the part of the workers to get a over job was on hand when the real hard, coered. It will be interesting to know that 00 has been "paid in full" and some of the cies also. Over twenty-two thousand dollars the colored people to date. This is the large by any of the other cities before corners It required a deal of work to secure the pledges, yes quite a deal of enthusiasm on the part of the workers to get such results, but the bigger job was on hand when the real hard, cold-cash was to be collected. It will be interesting to know that the largest pledge, $5000 has been "paid in full" and some of the one thousand dollar pledges also. Over twenty-two thousand dollars have been paid in by the colored people to date. This is the largest amount ever collected by any of the other cities before cornerstone laying. We Must Redeem Our Promise try to make a promise or a pledge, but the or woman-hood is in keeping one's promise, city thousand dollars for a modern building, of our race may have a place of wholesome spend their leisure hours and a home. Let us supreme opportunity in the history of the pledge. We may need some money after we but not like we need it now. Don't let it be the building had to lag on account of one or the colored people. There never was a time was needed as at this particular time. Let me effort for next Sunday and meet each laying with the password, "you pay your paying mine." It is easy to make a promise or a pledge, but the real test of man-hood or woman-hood is in keeping one's promise. We have promised fifty thousand dollars for a modern building, so the men and youths of our race may have a place of wholesome environments to spend their leisure hours and a home. Let us give it. This is the supreme opportunity in the history of the work to redeem our pledge. We may need some money after the building is completed, but not like we need it now. Don't let it be said that the work on the building had to lag on account of one unpaid subscription by the colored people. There never was a time when a Y. M. C. A. was needed as at this particular time. Let us all make one supreme effort for next Sunday and meet each other at the cornerstone laying with the password, "you pay your pledge today for I am paying mine." Y. M. C. A.

Muskogee, Okla., Sept. 11—Today brings to a close the great National Baptist Convention that has been in session six days. It, is by far the greatest meeting held by this august body in all previous years. More than 4,000 delegates were registered during the second day's session. Perfect peace and harmony prevailed throughout the entire sitting. The greater portion of today's session was given to hearing reports from various committees and the different boards of the convention. The auditor, Prof. M. M. Rodgers, read a financial statement, declaring that each department of the convention was in a prosperous condition and that each board had broken the record in raising money. The publishing board, under Dr. Haynes, of Nashville, and the foreign mission of Philadelphia of which Dr. L. G. Jordan is the head, made the most inspiring reports. A representative of the Southern White Baptist Convention was upon attendance of the sessions and assured the Colored brethren that $50,000 had been donated by the whites to assist in the erection of a theological seminary at Memphis, Tenn., for the training of Colored ministers. The committee on place created considerable enthusiasm when names of cities were offered for the next year's convention. Madam Rebecca Douglass used convincing words in inviting the convention to hold its 1918 meeting in St. Louis, but strong sentiment opposed the invitation. Newark, New Jersey was finally adopted as the place for the next meeting. All officers of the convention were retained for the ensuing year. The Colored and white people of Muskogee were loud in their praise of the dignified manner in which the delegates and visitors conducted affairs, and were liberal in their hospitalities. A leading white daily was benefited because of the convention, and had the following to say in an editorial: INTELLIGENT NEGROES The Negroes attending the National Baptist Convention and the Negro fair in Muskogee are an intelligent body of men and women. They are more keenly alive to current events than any convention that ever assembled in Muskogee; if the, number reading newspapers is an index. Since these meetings have been in progress in Muskogee the street sales of the Times-Democrat have more than doubled. Yesterday the sales were 1,300 above normal. There was no particular, overshadowing news story that would cause an increased sale. It was simply the Negroes buying papers in order to keep posted on current events. A time ago there was a convention in Muskogee at which there was a registered attendance of 2,200 school teachers. While that convention was in progress the street sales of the newspapers did not increase 200 a day. There have been big conventions in Muskogee, political, industrial, commercial and educational, but never has there been a convention during which those in attendance bought so many papers as the Negroes have bought during the past few days. LAUNDRIES, OVERTAXED FOR WEEK Muskogee, Okla., Sept. 11.—The laundries today were just getting in sight of "clear" after the hardest week's work in their history. Last week practically every laundress in the city suspended work, because of the Incomparable National Baptist Convention. The result was the laundries were literally swamped. Laundries were unable to turn out hundreds of orders supposed to be ready by Saturday night and bundles which were to have been delivered Thursday, Friday and Saturday were also held up. PROMINENT RAILBOAD OFFI CIALS ACCOMANY BAPTIST DELEGATION Nine coaches, beautifully appointed, constituted the special train that departed via the Missouri Pacific railroad last Tuesday morning, with a large delegation, for Muskogee, Okla. to attend the session of the Incomparable National Baptist Convention Messrs.

Kitchen of Joplin were en route and manifested extreme care to see to it that each passenger received the unlimited comfort and accomodation that is offered by their road. Rev. W. H. Skipwith, B.

Like all the great citizenship of St. Louis, we were electrified by the mammoth conclave held by the Knights of Pythias and Auxiliary in our city last month. One could not witness the splendid exercises or read of the wonderful accomplishments of this great institution without being impressed with the tremendous achievements this army of men and women are accomplishing for the race. It has impressed us as one of the greatest agencies for good which is being forstered by our people. We have taken much time to study the business methods of this order and find it has a substantial Beneficiary Department, founded upon a safe and sane insurance rate as recommended and approved by the National Fraternal Congress, and the Insurance Department of Missouri, which is doing much to relieve the distress of the worthy dependents of Pythians who have fallen in the Ranks. We the undersigned with many others have decided to organize a Lodge and thus assist, and enjoy the privileges of the many thousands who are now laboring under the banner of Friendship, Charity, and Benevolence. A special Dispensation has been granted by Grand Chancellor Lloyd underwhich we can secure membership at the low fee of $4.50.

Bray former president of Lane College, now secretary of Education for the C. M. E. church, spoke at Lane Tabernacle church, last Sunday. He is well known through the country as one of the leading orators; and is quite a favorite among the white people of the south. A great impression was made upon the congregation by the eloquent remarks made by the speaker. His text was from the sixth chapter of Timothy. Dr. Bray said in past, referring to Paul, Timothy's foster father and the love that existed, "That such love should live in the hearts of every father for his son. The moment a father conducts himself in such a way as to cause the son to doubt his integrity, his influence as a father, is at an end." As secretary of education he collects money in order to support the educational institutions of the C. M. E. church, which are: Miles Memorial College, Birmingham, Ala., Payne College, Augusta, Ga., Mississippi Industrial, Holly Springs, Miss, Lane College, Jackson, Tenn., and several other smaller institutions. Dr. Bray came here from Richmond, Mo., where he addressed a White Annual Conference and raised $405. Before coming north, he has just finished a crusade in Tennessee, which netted $2,000. He relates an occasion in Tennessee when he was called upon to deliver an address in a small town where there was no auditorium, the desirious white people pulled a farm wagon down the street, which provided a platform. The white people responded with $50 for educational purposes. After the interesting remarks of Dr. Gray, last Sunday, Rev. Ski, introduced Mr. Dunbar of Cincinnati, who spoke in the interest of the Y. M. C. A. THE ONLY NEGRO IN MISSOURI PROPRIETOR OF A PIANO STORE ```markdown ``` Chas. H. Watkins Chas. H.

HOWARD W.POPE ff fp Mobay BibT Tastitate, Baia Chicago \} paper ao we love jaw. nTEXTOn how I love Thy Ps. Some, people eajay the Bible greatly. They open ft as engerly usw hungry man sits down to inner, and’ they never seem “to weary of it. Da: vid says, “Oh, how Tiove thy Law! It 1a my meditation f all the day, How sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweet- . er than: honey to my mouth,” Many people cannot truthfully speak: as did the Paalmist. On the contrary they find a Pihhe a coe q F BS Rese. aay SPREE |e MEE contrary they tind B the Bible a very uninteresting book, and though they Fead it occasionally ; it {s.not because they enjoy it, but rather from a sense pf duty, Is it possible for anyone tareal- ly enjoy the Bible so that they will preter this book above all others? Sure- dy it 1s, and any one who will accept the following suggestions. will soon find the Bible has become the most ‘prectous of ail books. In order to enjoy the Bible one needs to be born again. The various books of the Bible were. written by godly men, and for the use of godly people. While {ts stories are always {nterest- fax to gplldren, snd ‘sublime send ‘ments.'Ehd Mterary beauty appeal to all. classes; still the book as-a whole "does not-tnterest ungodly people, part- ly because {t 1s a constant rebuke to ‘them, and partly because it is ad- dressed chiefly to those who love God. ‘A person who has not been born again does not enjoy spiritual things, be- cause he has not a spiritual nature. As ‘soon ag he accept Christ, however, he ‘becomes a partaker of the divine na- ture, and at once the Bible becomes a necessity to him, It answers his ques- tions and satisfies the cravings of his ‘new spiritual nature. Sign of the New Heart. One of the first and surest signs of anew heart.Js a relish for the Bible. ‘This 1s what the Apostle Peter refers to when’ he says, “As new-born babes desire ye the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby.” A book ‘on lodge matters can hardly be ex- pected: to interest one who does not belong to that particular order, nelther 48 a railway guide very attractive to ‘one who does not desire to travel, Let a man join the Jodge, however, and at ‘once he 1s {nterested to learn all he can about the ofder. So if he 1s plan- ning a trip to Europe he finds great pleasure in reading Baedeker's Guide. Decause it describes the countries where he ts going. For the same rea- son the Bible is interesting to a Chris- ‘Han, because it is a series of letters sddressed to him personally by his ‘Heavenly Father, describing the coun- try where he is going, and giving full ‘directions as to how to reach it,- |, Another condition requisite for en- ‘Joying the Bible is that we recognize the real object of life, which is to be- come acquainted ‘with God. “And this is life eterngl that they should know thee, the only true God,. and Jesus Christ whom thou hast seen” (Jobn 17:8). If the real object of one’s life 1s to know Gou, the Bible at once be- ‘tomes the book of all books, because It Feveals God's character and purpose as no other book does. David's opinion of ft is expressed in the words, “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and 2 light unto my path,” and God's esti- mate of it is given th bis injunction to Joshua, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shall meditate therein day and night.” Revelation is progressive and neces- sarily slow. It has taken God many centuries to reveal to the race what {s contained. th the Bible,. because sin has so blinded our vision that we are slow to apprehend spiritual truth. Furthermore, the Bible has to be re ‘Yealed to each human being separately, as if there were no other person in ‘axistenee, Since the Bible is the prin- cipal means by which God reveals his character and purpose, tt ts ‘evident that our acquaintance with him, which Degan at our conversion, will progress: fast in proportion to our study and Practice of the word of God. Know Your Bible, = If we neglect the Bible, we shall never know God intimately, and we shall always, be weak and inefficient Christians, If, however, we search the Scriptures diligently, we shall find it x most fascinating study, and as our acquaintance with God increases we ‘will grow In grace and spiritual power. “The people that do know their God shall he strong, and stil do exploits. (Dan, 11:32.) ‘The reason. why the Bible has 0 ‘personal interest for each of us is that it fs God's mouthpiece and medium_of communication with the people of all ages. For instance, when God saw men forsaking him to pursue their own evils, he cried out throagh Bis prophet, “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man bis thoughts, and Jet him return unto the Lord, and he will bave mercy upon bim” That message was not limited to the people ‘of Inuiah’s time only, but it represents WR. Bher’ of ieielions Bible in ae Moody Bible fnetitute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) I ae LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 16 THE FIERY FURNACE. GOLDEN TERT When 0c waest ‘through the fire, thou shalt not be burn- e4; neither shalt the flame kindle upon thee—Inalah 43:3, : 1, The Occasion (vv. 1-7). The fact that God sald to Nebuchadnezzar, “Thou art this head of gold” (2:38) yas too much for him, Though he ap- peared to have been deeply impressed ‘with Dantel's God, his pride got the better of him. As he grew great and became conscious of It, he erpw proud. ‘This moved him to set up“ colossal idol of gold in the Plain of Dura to be worshiped by all-the people of his ‘renim.—It was an attempt at self-feifl- cation, It combined with 1t a polltical tmoye, the object of which was to weld together the various kingdoms and peoples Into. one. homogenedua body. He inaugurated a religious festival, and called upon all the people fo wor: ship the Image which he set up. He backed this demand by etvil authority. ‘The penalty for refusal to bow down and worship’ the image was to be cast into the burning flery furnace. Impos- Ing images are set up in many places, and men and women are being called ‘upon to bow down and worship them. Some: of these. imagea are money, fashion, scholarship, worldly ambition, pleasures, etc., and woe be to those ‘who will not worship before. them. Us, The Behavior of the Hebrews (vv. 8:18). (1) the accusation by the envious spies (vv. 8-12). Daniel's three friends had been pro- moted to positions of honor and re- sponsibility. Certain Chaldeans whose envy had been excited by the promo- tion of these Hebrews, sought occasion against them. This they found when the Hebrews would not bow down to and worship the Image. Envious eves are always watching God's faithful ones, Iiad these Chaldeans been falth- fally worshiping, they would not have seen the Hebrews. (2) The king’s rage (vv. 13-15). He calls the Hebrews before him, questions them and gives them another chance, The offense was not serious —they were defying the authority of the one who had honored them in their promotion; it savored of ingratitude. After closely questioning them he gave them another opportunity. to consider thelr position before consigning them to the fire. His supreme mistake was’ in the challenge he made to the God of the Hebrews. He seems to have forgotten entirely the confession he had made with reference to God (2:47). (8)"The courageous reply of the faithful Hebrews (vv, 16-18). ‘They replied without passion or fear. ‘The pence of God filled thelr hearts. Thelr behavior is an expression of triumphant falth. “We are not care ful to answer thee In this matter, If it be sa, our God whom we serve ts able to deliver us from the burning flery furnace, and he wilt deliver us out of ‘thine hand, O king. But ff not,"be {t known unto thee, O° king, that we will not: Serve thy gods, nar worship the golden !mage which thou hast set up.” They courageously showed thelr contempt for death. They were not afrald to die, but were afraid to sin against God. ‘They Knew that to bow down before this image was to disobey and dishonor,God, While they did not know. what God woufd do, n the prem- ises they knew that he would do-the right thing. These Hebrews were far away from hoine, exposed to the most severe temptation, but they saw thelr duty clearly set before them. y God's law plainly settled it for them. They did not try to find an excuse to evade thelr duty, and seeing the way clenrly they acted accordingly. I, The Glorious Issue (vv. 19-30). | (1) The harmless furnace (vv. 19-25). ‘The infuriated king ordered the heat of the furnace to be’ Intensified, his most mighty,men to bind the Hebrews and filng them into .the fire. Though the heat was so Intense that the sol- diers who cast them Irito the furnace were slain, the Hebrews were seen walking loose In-the fire without any burt, Equally astounding was the fact that m fourth one was seen-with then). .@) The convinced king (vv.-26-28). The spectacle was so wonderful that the king called the Hebrews together lone Of the fire. .They came forth un- jarmiet, for the fire had no power over their bodies; not even a hair of their heads was singed, thelr coats changed, nor the smell of fire upon them (v. 27). (2) The king's-decree (v. 22). This was most foolish and wicked. Even a king hss no right to kill people for not worshiping God. ° (4) Promotion of the Hebrews (v. 30), Their fidelity im this trying ordeal resnlted in their promotion Instead of downfall. May we learn from this thet: (a) God alone is Lord of the con- Science. One's falth and worship should be determined by the individual : e Carfer’s Little Liver Pills _ You Cannot Be ee A Remedy That || Constipated Makes Life '|.and Happy RS Worth Living ‘seail Pet Genuine bears sigosture sf | eet tee y .

T. Me REAL VAUDEVILLE PRODUCED BY ALLSTAR ACTS AT «THE BOOKER WASHING- TON THEATER There is a distinctiveness about the show at the Booker Washington The: ater this week that makes it incom parable with recent bills. It measures up to all that modern vaudeville was intended to de, a variety of stage gems, entirely different from each other, Not ouly ix the current week’s offering in this rare class, but it is a happy com. Dination of real talent, and each act possesses enough individual attractive- ness to be a headliner. Gaines and Gaines, novelty ‘acrobats, open the show. This team consists of a man and. woman who perform most difficulé feats in tumbling, balancing and contortion. They mix just enough comedy with their work to give it life, and hold their audience —spelltpund dntil their finale brings out a spon- taneous burst of applause, ‘The act is the best of the kind that has been on the B. W. stage. Charles and Bessie Ross have a good singing and daneing act, mixed with comedy lines, Tho young woman is attractive, dresses well and sings well. Her ‘Yaka Hula Hicks Dula’? seores a hit! The man takes the house. by storm with his short version of “‘Shemie Shewabble,'? The team closes with ‘‘Honka, Tonka Town,'’ and a characteristic dance that leaves the house im an uproar, i Goodlette, the musical artist, has. a big instrumental concert all by himself. Mr. Goodlette plays on three large and expensive instruments, a xylophone, the musical rattles and a steel marimba- phone, His list of pieces consists of “‘Honka Tonka Town,’? ‘‘Qld Black Joe’? ‘Little Spark of Love’? and ‘The St. Louia Blues.’’” Each number ‘draws applause and the audience dem- onstrates its desire for more at the end. Eddie Green and James Riley close the show with a knock-out. The pri- mary cause ix Green's droll eceentricity, but Riley plays no small part in ere- ating the big spasm. These boys start the fun rightiat the opening, and throughout their comedy squabbles, humorous songsand grotesque danclag, they keep the ‘patrons in a fit of laugh- ter. Riley impersonates a female s0 perfectly that the deception is com- plete. When he uneovers, at the ead of an extremely comical burlesque dance, by the team, the surprise takes the house by storm. ‘The entire act is @ sensation. . ‘The big photoplay, “The Law of Na- ture,’ with the famous colored movie actor, Noble Johnson, in the leading role if being shown Tharsday, Friday and Saterday, this week. The picture is produced by the same company that stirred the country recently with ‘“The ‘Trooper of Troop K.’’ Don't miss it. BILLY KING'S COMPANY AT THE B. W.
