STATE CASE AGAINST NEGROES WEAK No Evidence, In East St. Louis Riot Trial, Produced To Show That Any Of Indicted Men Were at Scene of Killing of Officers Sunday Night, July 1st. The trial of the thirteen Negroes for the murder of Detective Sergeant Coppedge, in East St. Louis, on the night of July 1, began Monday morning at Belleville, Ill., before Circuit Judge George Crow. Conspiracy was a strong point by which the state felt confident of convicting the men. Judge Crow admitted evidence of conspiracy in the case in a ruling given just before court adjourned at 5 p.m. Wednesday, which would tend to show that such a conspiracy had been organized. He offered the opinion that if such a conspiracy did exist every person taking part in any of the events leading to the murder of Coppedge and Wodley was equally guilty of the crime. "The act of any person in a conspiracy is the act of all," ruled Judge Crow. The state only called one more witness on this point after the ruling and failed to prove its contention. Judge Crow also refused to permit 22 guns, brought into the court, to be used as evidence, as there was no proof that the guns belonged to any of the defendants. meeting at his hot and were of the thirteenth three-Poster, have been named witnesses as part July 1. The state brove expected close after hearing by witnesses summ No evidence of any Negroes was Bond, the scene nearest place in which is five b to be the conce spectators that weak. The trial will by the end of t In the early was stated that the Negroes by so doing would hundred and fif been indicted by count of the riot The court also ruled against the defendants, who attempted to introduce evidence to prove that white men gathered at the city hall May 28 and decided to "run the Negroes out of East St. Louis," that assaults on Negroes followed one short week after July 1. Much evidence was introduced to prove that Negroes were seen marching around with guns on and prior to the killing. Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, the fourteenth, and absent one of the indicted men, was spoken of by nearly all of the state's witnesses. He was referred to as the "leader," and testimony was given that men were seen BARBER'S UNION INVITES NEGROES At a mass meeting held at 2228 Olive St. last Monday night, to which all the Colored barbers of the city were invited, an effort was made to unionize the Colored barbers. F. A. Heller, secretary of No. 102, in his opening remarks, said: "The object of this meeting is to give the Colored barber, the opportunity to join our organization and thereby better his condition; also to have a uniform price among all the Colored shops. This is probably the first chance that the Colored barber has had to assemble in a mass meeting, and you are earnestly requested to be present and voice your sentiments. "You realize that in the last two years everything has gone up in the way of food and clothing and there has also been an advance in the price of barber supplies. "This is the opportune time for organization; Barbers' Local No. 102 has instructed me to get the Colored barbers into our organization, and when once a member you have the same rights and privileges as the white barbers. "I have engaged several speakers, Colored and white, and I can assure you that you will receive the support of all the Colored union men of all crafts in this city, of which there are some 3,000." Peter Lavine also spoke. The meeting was opened and closed with prayer by Clarence Covington. MRS. IDA HARRISON Divine Healer and Prophet (Known as Prophet Turner). Rev: Mrs. Harrison, who has been endowed with healing power from Almighty God to heal the sick, has met with wonderful success. She is in possession of wonderful testimonies from those she has healed throughout the states of Illinois and Missouri. Mrs. Harrison (Prophet Turner) has already made striking predictions, some of which have already come to pass. Her physician is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The St. Louis Argus meeting at his home daily before the hot and were seen carrying guns. Of the thirteen men on trial, only three—Poster, Roberts and Peeples—have been named by any of the state's witnesses as participants in the killing July 1. The state brought its case to an unexpected close Thursday afternoon, after hearing but 26 of the nearly 200 witnesses summoned. No evidence was given showing that any Negroes were seen at 10th and Bond, the scene of the trouble. The nearest place mentioned was 15th St., which is five blocks away. It seems to be the concensus of opinion of the spectators that the state's case is very weak. The trial will probably be finished by the end of this week. In the early setting of the case, it was stated that the state would prove that the Negroes started the riot and by so doing would clear the nearly one hundred and fifty whites who have been indicted by the Grand Jury on account of the riot July 2. But owing to the weakness of the state's case in the trial of the Negroes, it is now believed that all of the whites will be convicted as charged. It is understood that the trial of the indicted whites, who took part in the terrible riot of July 2, will begin immediately after the present one closes. N. A. A. C. P. Interested In Case Attorney Homer G. Phillips of St. Louis, who is a member of the Legal Committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, appeared in the cases in behalf of the defendants during the week. The cases will probably be argued before the jury Saturday. BOYCOTTED THEATRE FORCED TO CLOSE Following the publication in the Argus two weeks ago that the Negroes would boyscott a moving picture Theater, which' opened at Garrison and Lucas, the manager has been forced to close for the lack of patronage. Rev. B. G. Shaw, pastor of Metropolitan Church, was relentless in his efforts to have the Theater closed, because he said it was too close to his church and the influence was bad. It has been stated that the old church in which the Theater was run has been purchased by the Free Will Baptist congregation. This is considered quite a victory for the Colored people and those interested say that the publicity given the matter by the Argus had the desired effect. SAVE! SAVE!! WINTER COMING AN OPEN LETTER TO NEGRO LEADERS OF ST. LOUIS All great wars have been accompanied by famine. We are now in the midst of the greatest of all wars, yet few realize that many face near starvation this winter. Now is the time for pastors and other leaders to speak a direct and timely word calling upon all to perserve now while produce is plentiful, to waste nothing and to save every possible penny. Failure to prepare now means untold suffering in the near future. Would it not be wise and patriotic for clubs, societies and fraternal organizations to lead in this matter by eliminating for the period of the war, at least, all expensive entertainment! NEGROES CAPTURE WHITE BOBBER A daylight thief, white, attempted to get away from H. A. Smith's store, 2843 Market St., Thursday morning, with several necities, a woolen shirt and, a box of collar and cuff buttons, but was captured by men in the neighborhood and handed over to the police.

A. passed before the Board of Managers of that organization had on plans for the pressing forward in the matter of collections for the new building. Already St. Louis has done her part in contributing toward the building fund, but we cannot feel that we have done our full duty until every subscriber has made good his or her pledge. To this end the Board of Managers and the Team Workers, Captains and Campaign Committee have given themselves in earnest. Men of business are lining up with the Y. M. C. A. giving their time and money in such a way as to insure the final success of the Y. M. C. A. movement. The Team Captains are recruiting their teams to full strength getting ready for the final drive. On Friday night the teams and Captains are to have a reunion of all forces, at which time the pictures of the Ground Breaking and the Cornerstone Laying are to be shown. In the collection of funds for the new building, Team 17, of which Dr. C. H. Turner, of Sumner High School, is the Captain, leads, their collections to date, being a few dollars less than $2,000. On Team 17 is Fred P. Blair, who alone has collected $1,000 toward the building fund. Six teams in their collections have passed the $1,000 mark and the Campaign Committee, which subscribed $10,012 has collected 38 per cent of that amount. The standing of teams is given below.

Bill To Stop Janitor's Layoffs After much complaint by the Municipal Janitors on account of being compelled to lay off in periods of fifteen days each to the extent of losing two months' salary within the year, Alderman R. H. Eilers, of the 26th ward, promised to introduce a bill in the Board of Aldermen Friday of this week, to appropriate the necessary funds to keep these men on the pay roll, giving them their monthly salary the year round. It is understood that all of the members of the Board of Aldermen will support the bill and its final approval by the Board of Estimates is looked upon with much favor by the janitors.

Harrison, of the New Plaza Hotel, 3360 Olive St., this week as elevator operators, and are now installed in their new work. Although a number of buildings and a couple of hotels, in the down town district, are trying out white girls, the Plaza is the first to open the opportunity to Colored. The young ladies have taken naturally to their new positions, are confident of success, and present a neat appearance in their distinctive uniforms. Manager Harrison and the guests of the Hotel are well pleased with the innovation and there is little doubt that Colored girls will be given a chance in other buildings. The entire help, at the New Plaza, which includes four bell boys, house maids, watchman, etc., are Colored. The hostelry is one of the most modern in St. Louis. Revival At The North St. Louis C. M.

LOUIS Sick Benefits Raised to $5 Per Week I came to St. Louis to supervise a campaign which will bring at least 4,000 policy holders to the Order before the year 1918 ends. This Order having written $30,000,000 of insurance, paid out in benefits more than $400,000 and has on hand more than $150,000 for the protection of policy holders, certainly merits the support of all who love their race and who believe in its ability to develop big business. I am organizing a field force of 20 of the most progressive types of Colored women to be found in St. Louis to write insurance for us. This is a splendid new field for women.

Negroes to Have Division Regiments Officered by Own Race. Men in Camp Told They Must Submit to Discriminations in the South. The Officers' Training Camp at Fort Des Moines will close by Oct. 15. This much is certain. There is a probability, however, that the men will be discharged on Saturday, the 13th, as they have received orders to turn in their arms and equipment on the 12th. The men were subject to a gruelling test last Monday when they listened to a decidedly raw speech made by the Inspector General. He told them they would probably be sent South and would be compelled to submit to all the prejudices typical of that section. After enumerating many of the diseriminations, he told them if there was any man who didn't think he could stand for the laws of the South to turn in his resignation at once. The words struck the camp like a thunderbolt, but the men survived the shock and are now more determined than ever to win. Two members of the camp returned from Washington last Sunday, who had been sent as representatives of the camp association and had an interview with the Secretary of War. They reported that there is to be a Negro division with regiments officered by Negroes. Members of the Ft. Des Moines camp are to receive the same class commissions as other camps and are to have the same chance. Just who will be commissioned, and what their ranks, will not be known until the last minute. News has been received here that the only Colored doctors of St. Louis thus far commissioned by the Government will soon leave for duty. They are: Drs. C. E. Herriott, J. E. Hunt, Darrington Weaver and F. S. Slaughter—all members of the St. Louis Medical Forum. They are commissioned as 1st Lieutenants in the U. S. R. Corps and were banqueted in fine style at the Market Inn. After dinner toasts in the nature of farewells, good wishes, etc., were delivered by Drs. Haskins, Gordon, Breedlove, Barrett, Jacques and Bluitt. Response by Drs. Weaver, Herriott, Hunt and Slaughter. Dr. A. W. Cheatham made an excellent presiding Officer and paid the department doctors a fine tribute. Dr. Chas. Henry Phillips, the president, made the closing remarks, and in behalf of the Forum he presented the lieutenants with electric flashlights as tokens of esteem and good will. Dr. Peck then sang, with much feeling and pathos, Tosti's Good By, accompanied by the Inn's Orchestra, which throughout the evening rendered music of a very high order. 1912, to October 1, 1917 $13,919.52 Total disbursements from If You Could See Your Hair As Others See It You Would Appreciate the Meaning Of "A Woman's Crowning Glory."

Today, parents with primary children find the methods of teaching to read are different, and so they leave that task to the teacher. If the pupils are in high school, often the parents are not familiar with the subject matter, and so continue to stand aside and leave all to the teacher. But there is one subject in which the methods have not changed, and in which the parent can rank highest as teacher. He can name his subject, "Reading Aloud." A parent to become an expert must encourage and must listen. At school, the pupil learns to read, that is, to recognize words, pronounce them, and understand their meaning. But where one teacher has a large number of pupils the time given to actual reading is necessarily short. All lessons, even reading, are studied silently. In the high school, where public speaking is given, the way to speak is taught, but little time is given to actual practice. Beside the opportunity for the parents to encourage their own children to become good readers, there is an opportunity to encourage other children by means of contests conducted by parent-teacher associations. 1.

Thought on the situation, however might be whether this supremacy can be maintained, of the conflict and in spite of the tremenade by all of the nations involved. Up-4000 white men have been sacrificed on the addition, thousands have suffered and died simply to the conflict and through the sinks there have been men of other races participate. Strong is the inclination of the larger nations out of it, that their casualties have been led to the white race. Independency to exclude the other races, is notice; country where they are slow in calling their colors, but it is also noticable in the attitude. A few months ago, Japan offered to surrender to assist the allies on that front, but upon Japan confined her activities to the laying for men. More than that number of Reported thither, since the Japanese offer war that blows to America bears the cry of "it is to continue for a very much longer time, and suffering; then it is inevitable that making these unprecedented sacrifices must take in its relation to the other races than to conflict. Japan already has grown fat at activities in Asia; China shows signs of awakening the darker races are beginning to realize and are forming in their hearts a strong force and exert a man's right in the world's affairs us the war must continue until Germany, sixth of the Germans seems to be like a mill of the themselves is, how long will their man-power.

INITIATION FOR THE ADVANCENENT COLORED PEOPLE As much comment as there has been on the different problems created by the present world war, strange it is that there has been little, if any thought as to how the general out come is going to effect the various races in their relation one to the other. The idea advanced by the Caucasions, that the white race is and always will be supreme, seems to prevail over any other that might attempt to arise. A little thought on the situation, however might cause some doubts as to whether this supremacy can be maintained regardless of the length of the conflict and in spite of the tremendous sacrifices being made by all of the nations involved. Up-to-date more than 10,000,000 white men have been sacrificed on the field of battle, and in addition, thousands have suffered and died, because of their proximity to the conflict and through the sinking of ships, although there have been men of other races participating in the war, yet so strong is the inclination of the larger nations to keep the other races out of it, that their casualties have been infinitisimal compared to the white race. This tendency to exclude the other races, is noticeable not only in our own country where they are slow in calling the drafted Negroes to the colors, but it is also noticable in the attitude of France and England. A few months ago, Japan offered to send 200,000 men to France to assist the allies on that front, but up to date we notice that Japan has confined her activities to the far east, yet France is crying for men. More than that number of Russians have been transported thither, since the Japanese offer was made and, every wind that blows to America bears the cry of "more men". If this war is to continue for a very much longer time at the present rate of loss and suffering; then it is inevitable that the white race that is making these unprecedented sacrifices must as a whole become weaker in its relation to the other races than it was previous to the conflict. Japan already has grown fat through her commercial activities in Asia; China shows signs of awakening; all over the world the darker races are beginning to realize that they too are men and are forming in their hearts a strong desire to fill a man's place and exert a man's right in the world's affairs. They tell us the war must continue until Germany is crushed. The strength of the Germans seems to be like a mill that is steadily grinding. The allies are feeding their man-power daily into This mill, so the question that the allies with their prejudice should ask themselves is, how long will their man-power last?

Time has not permitted the leaders to see all members. Those who have not been seen are expected to pay their assessment the day of the rally, Sunday, October 14, and receive credit for same. Sunday morning services were largely attended and equally enjoyed, but the sermon Rev. Smith preached Sunday evening seemed to have a tendency to linger with one for quite awhile. The text was taken from Romans, 1st Chapter, which was a great missionary sermon and won favor with all. Official Day Sunday will be known as Official Day and every officer of the church is expected to turn out in uniform. The pastor will deliver a special sermon at 11 o'clock after which the stewards will be photographed in front of the church. At 3 o'clock all churches have been invited to take part in the special services that have been prepared for the officers. The arrangement committee, composed of Mr. W. H. Brown, J. C. Campbell, and R. O. Person, have prepared a special program to be rendered. The Steward and Stewardess Boards from St. James, Metropolitan, St. Paul and Wayman Chapel are expected to turn out in large numbers. Enworth League Mrs. Wisdom deserves much credit for the excellent program rendered Sunday evening. Church goers are coming early in order to attend League service.

"Christ's Yoke, What It Is and How To Wear It," will be the subject Sunday, October 14. Mr. P. E. Ross, the Sunday School Superintendent, will be the leader, assisted by his entire corps of teachers. ST. JAMES A. M. B. CHURCH Every seat in the lecture room and auditorium was taken Sunday morning. Dr. Peck announced his text from St. Mark, 4th Chapter, 26-29 verses. Theme, "Some Principles of Spiritual Growth." The Immense congregation sat spellbound for forty-five minutes as this great, pulpiteer-made striking comparisons between material and spiritual life. The music rendered by the Senior Choir was superb. The evening service was well attended. The altar and church were beautifully decorated. Fresh vegetables and luscious fruits banked the altar. The concert, "An Old Fashioned Camp Meeting," given by the Senior Endeavor Choir, was a great success. Every members was at his best and kept the large audience convulsed with laughter. The house was packed and standing room was at a premium. Every department is in good condition and when the conference year closes next week, the reports will show one of the most successful years in the history of the church. Services all day next Sunday.

Morris, that he is the soul of inspiration and none can excell this good man for Christian service. We wish to thank the Executive Board and members for contributing so liberally. Total collection $156.62. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH St. Paul congregation and friends are still loud in their praise about their pastor and why? The answer is, because he is simply a God sent Gospel preacher who never fails to satisfy his audience. Sunday morning his sermon was based on Faith, and we can say without a doubt that the burdens of many were made lighter and the "weary-worn" and "ready to halt" took on new life. The climax of the sermon was reached when he briefly outlined some of the achievements accomplished by those who lived centuries ago, who walked by faith and not by sight, and especially so when one was obedient and was led by the Holy Spirit. The lives of all great reformers were brought plainly before us. We all readily agreed that Dr. E. Johnson measured up to the occasion. Sunday night, "Sowing Seed" was his theme and it is needless to say that it was masterly handled. So impressive was the sermon and the singing that quite a number, including one convert, united with the church. Hear Dr. Johnson Sunday morning on his first annual Harvest Home sermon. A special invitation to strangers. METROPOLITAN NOTES Last Sunday was the last day in the month of September and closed one of the most remarkable months for the Metropolitan Church that it has ever witnessed since our sojourn in our new quarters. More than $500 was collected in public collections. This is remarkable to those who are familiar with church work. The Sunday morning congregation was one of the most beautiful scenes that we could ever hope for in religious worship, the church was packed from pulpit to door The pastor, Rev Shaw, never preached a more powerful sermon than he delivered Sunday morning, from the subject "The Holy Ghost as a Witness Maker and a Life Giver." While he talked with us our hearts did burn within us. On extending an invitation for joiners to sinners, six sinners were happily converted and united with the church with a great crowd of others who gathered at the altar, while the pastor was making that matchless appeal. Everybody is busily engaged in the Pall Rally and one seems lost in the church unless he is working likewise. We are hoping for great results. Madame Geneva Morgan, the great mentalist, has been giving a demonstration of her wonderful work for three nights, in the church, with very large enthusiastic crowds. She is a wonder. The Literary Society is doing great work. All are invited to be with us and take a part in our very interesting debates every Thursday night. The Christian Endeavor of the Metropolitan Church is gradually reaching the heights of success. There is a steady increase of membership and the deep interest that one takes in the work is remarkable. The election of officers held on Sunday, September 23, was as follows: Miss Lydia Lee was reelected as president, Mr. C. M. Moore, Vice President; Miss Walker, Recording Secretary; Miss F. Harmon, Corresponding Secretary; Mr. Wm. Starks, Treasurer; Miss Tinsley, Chairman Music Committee; Miss S. Collins, Pianist; Miss Morris, Finance Committee; Mr. E. Saunders, Chairman Lookout Committee; Miss C. Strawhere, Social Committee. With such an excellent body of officers we hope to make our Endeavor second to none in the city. SEVEN CHURCH BAPTIST UNION Seven Church Baptist Union met with the Semple Avenue Baptist Church Monday night. Rev. G. S. Allen of the Thessalonian Baptist Church preached an excellent sermon.

New Pythian Lodge Being Organized 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 Misseurl, 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.

J. E. Lumphins, Prop., 108 S. Ewing Ava. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS Jesus In the Midst By REV. L. W. GOSNELL Assistant Dean, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT-In the midst. The words of this text occur in several places and yield precious teach- ing concerning our Lord Jesus Christ. PETER H. In Luke 2:46 we find him as a boy in the temple In the Midst of the Teachers—Our Example. "All that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers." Jesus was a close Bible student. How ready he was in giving just the right answer out of the Book when Satan tempted him in the wilderness! How he astonished the Sadducees when he proved the resurrection by the words of Moses in the Pentateuch, whose authority they acknowledged (Luke 20:37, 38!) To know the Bible means application and toll, but the Master thought it worth all this, and the servant is not above his Lord. In John 19:18 we find him. In John 19:18 we find him In the Midst of the Sinners—Our Sub- stitute. He was crucified between two male- factors, as if he were the worst of the three. Indeed, he took our place under the wrath of God. Bearing shame and scoffing rude, In my place condemned he stood; Sealed my pardon with his blood. Halleluja! If the reader is burdened with the sense of sin, he need wait no longer. He may leave his burden at the cross and bear away a song. "The Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all" In order to be saved we have nothing to do but gladly believe this! In several passages Jesus is seen In the Midst of the Saints—Our Cen- For example, Matthew 18:20 shows he gives us his presence, for where two or three gather in his name there he is "in the midst". What a difference it would make in our assemblies if we realized this! The story of how Dr. A. J. Gordon dreamed Christ came to his church one Sunday is well known. In a little Book, "How Christ Came to Church". Doctor Gordon has told what a revolution was wrought as the result of the dream, for everything was done afterwards as though Christ were present and they were trying to please him. John 20:19-21 tells how he gives us his peace. He stood "in the midst" of his disciples after the resurrection, saying, "Peace be unto you". Then he showed his hands and his side, for only in his wounds is there the assurance of peace. After this he repeated his salutation, "Peace be unto you", and added, "As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you." In other words, those who find peace in his wounds are sent as messengers of peace. What a thrilling errand! The deepest need of men is to be reconciled to God and to find rest for their hearts, yet the poorest saint is a herald of this great blessing. Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin? The blood of Jesus whispers peace within. Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed To do the will of Jesus—this is rest. Praise perfect peace, our future all unknown? Jesus we know, and he is on the throne. Hebrews 2:12 reads, "I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee." Christ did not speak of his disciples as his brethren till after the resurrection, for sonship is a blessing of the new covenant. In the text before us we see Jesus crowned and leading the praises and prayers of his church. He is fully accepted before God and is our representative; so, as our voices mingle with his, our praises and prayers are acceptable. Once again, in Revelation 1:13 Jesus is seen "in the midst" of seven golden candle-sticks, representing the church. From this place amongst his people he prompts them, as in the letters to the seven churches. We serve no dead Christ, dear reader, but one who today walks amidst the churches and speaks to them words of praise or rebuke. Finally, we see Jesus in Revelation 5:6 In the Midst of the Throbe—Our Hope. The Lamb seen by John in the midst of the throne takes the seven-scaled book of destiny telling of his right to the inheritance, for he alone is worthy to open it. All heaven worships him. We wait for the time when he shall rule over the ransomed creation, which groans awaiting the day of its deliverance. Never shall this earth have permanent peace until all other rulers are put down and he reigns who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. But while we await that day, let us see he is enthroned in our hearts. Some give Christ a place. Some give him prominence. Shall not we give him preeminence? Thou. God Seest Me. Live innocently. God is present—Linnaeus' Mottos. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 7 PSALMS OF DELIVERANCE. LESSON TEXT-Psalms 85 and 126. GOLDEN TEXT-They that sow in tears shall reap in joy-Psalms 126:8. These Psalms breathe the spirit of the true patriot. The Psalmist sees his afflicted country suffering for the sins of the people, prays for their restoration to the Divine favor, and with the eagle eye of faith anticipates the joyful day of spiritual and temporal blessings because of restoration to the Divine favor. Doubtless such patriotism would be pleasing to the Lord on the part of us all. Psalm 85. I. Praises for Mercles Received (vv. 1-3). Praise is given for (1) Deliverance from Captivity (v. 1). He had in mind the specific mercles of a given time; perhaps it was one of the oppressions of the Philistines from which they had been delivered. (2) Forgiveness of Sin (vv. 2, 3). "Thou hast forgiven the iniquity—covered all their sin." God's restoration was the proof that he had pardoned. Great indeed was the sin of Jacob, but God's forgiveness was greater. He is peculiarly a God of mercy. Having forgiven the sins his anger is taken away. He stayed his hand from the judgment which would have justly fallen, to show his mercy. II. Prayer for Restoration From Backsliding (vv. 4-7). He knew how worthless the outward blessings of the Lord would be unless the people inwardly turned to the Lord. He, therefore, besought the Lord to give them the greater blessing, that of a change of heart. Without the change of heart forgiveness would be futile. A change of heart can only be by God's help. (1) That God would turn the hearts of his people toward himself (v. 4). Knowing the people's utter helplessness to turn to God, he cried out to God to save them by turning them to himself. He knew that God's anger could not turn from the people as long as they were impenitent. (2) That God would take away the very remembrance of their sins (vv. 5-7). (a) The ending of his anger (v. 5). The desire seems to be that he would wipe out the very marks of his displeasure by not longer allowing punishment to be meted out to them. (b) The return to the people's joy (v. 6). Their joy could only be realized through a revival from God. The Psalmist now becomes more bold in his requests. (c) Shall show them mercy (v. 7). (c) Shall show them Mercy (v. 7). "Make it visible," is his visceral. God's judgment was most real. His desire is that his mercy be just as real. III. Exultant Anticipation (vv. 8-13). Having spoken the sentiment of the repentant people, the poet expresses confidence of the Lord's response. So faithful is God that those who sincerely pray to him can go forward with the assurance of petitions granted. (1) "He will speak peace" (v. 8). He knew that a gentle answer would come, but its continuance would depend upon the fidelity of the people. Turning to folly would prevoke again his wrath. (2) Will bring his salvation near (v. 9). Only as his salvation was near could glory be in the land. (3) Devise a way by which "Mercy and truth," "Righteousness and peace," may be united (vv. 10, 11). He did not suggest a way. He may not have known it. Faith now sees the way in Christ. In him such a union has been blessedly effected. (4) The land shall become fruitful (v. 11). When sin is removed, temporal prosperity shall follow. Earth's barrenness is due to sin. When the curse is removed fruitfulness shall follow. (5) Righteousness shall be the guide of his people (v. 12). In that golden, glad age God's righteous ways will leave a track in which his own may walk with security. Psalm 126. I. The Fact of Zion's Deliverance (vv. 1, 2). (1) By whom (v. 1). The Lord. (2) Effect of (vv. 1, 2). (a) The people were scarcely able to believe it. So sudden and unexpected was their deliverance that it seemed to them as a dream. They expressed their feeling in joyful laughter. (b) The heathen noted their deliverance as marvelous, and ascribed it to God (v. 2). Song and Prayer. II. The Song of the People (v. 3). They ascribed their deliverance to the Lord and expressed their gratitude in singing God's praise. III. The Prayer (v. 4). The people cried to God to visit their restoration with fruitfulness, even the streams from the South spread out and make a country fruitful. IV. The Promise (vv. 5, 6). Though the people were still obliged to suffer the consequences of their sins, they were encouraged to go on in sowing though in tears, as the reaping would bring joy.

THEATRES WILLIAMS' DOGS AND MONKEYS A BIG FEATURE IN BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE SHOW King Williams and his educated dogs and monkeys are creating much excitement at the Booker Washington Theatre this week, with a remarkable performance. Not only do the little animals perform all the tricks usual in such exhibitions but many others not heretofore seen. There's the police dog in uniform, even to the shoes, and swinging a club that goes to a box and calls the patrol wagon which arrives drawn by a dog and driven by a monkey. Another climbs two ladders at once. Others waltz, dance and prominade on their hind legs and one even does the "Shemie Shewabble." A large sized monkey, as engineer of a miniature railroad engine, enters on the stage, climbs down and gets a drink, and after reintering the cab, rings the bell and drives on as any ordinary engineer. The act closes with a good imitation of children rushing away when school is out. Blanche Russell, an excellent singing soubrette, does well with three good numbers which include "The Long Lost Blues." She is being roundly applauded. Dudley and Dudley have a singing and dancing act that consists of several good song numbers, original comedy lines and a lively buck dance finale. The female member is making a good impression, although she is very young and new on the stage. The man is a finished comedian. Eddie West and Emma Frederick close the show with an entertaining combination of original musical numbers, burlesque and dancing. The act possesses a good comedy punch and wins big applause. Next Week The show at the Booker Washington next week will include Paul Floyd and Chicken Reel Beaman, two comedians of the Stellar class; Viola Evans, a winsome soubrette; W. M. Davis, a comedy monologuet and Madame Rose & Co. The bill comes highly recommended; and a lively show is in prospect. Monroe Taber and Fred Green are at the Grand this week. Taber was at one time a member of the St. Louis Giants Baseball Club. Among the new serials booked for the near future at local theatres are, "The Seven Pearls," starting at the Movie, next Monday, October 8; "The Lost Express," at the Comet, October 17, and "The Red Ace," at the Booker Washington, October 22.

One evening Hofmann was at dinner and after he had passed his friend, a wag, called: "Hello, Hofmann! Walt a minute. Come back." The wag whispered to Hofmann: "I just wanted to ask you how far you would have gone if I hadn't called you back," and the company, in on the joke, laughed. Hofmann never moved a muscle of his face. But, straightening up, he said, so that the entire table could hear him: "My dear fellow, there is no one in the world whom I would rather oblige than you.
