St. Louis Argus

NEW ARMY OFFICERS St. Louis paid homage to more than fifty newly commissioned Colored officers of the United States Army, Tuesday and another chapter has been written in the history of its Colored citi-penn. This time it tells of an event without a precedent, an occurrence that may never again be repeated. The men were on leave of absence, returning to their homes from Camp Dodge, Fort Dena Moine, where they had completed their course of instructions and received their commissions. As honored citizens, they had, four months previously, bid admonition to their relatives and friends and now were returning as stalwart officers of the United States Army. Twelve of the number were St. Louisans, the others had stopped over to accept the city's hospitality. They were greeted at Union Station by several hundred citizens headed by the following committee; Walther Moore, chairman; Ernest Pattilla; Herbung T. Mendous, W. H. Branks, W. H. Flahde, C. K. Robinson, Dr. D. W. Saute, Chas. H. Turpin, Dr. T. A. Curtin, Barnack Lavine, J. H. Jones, Homer G. Phillips, J. M. Well, D. W. Green, Regina Babianus, Chas. A. Mills, Oleg Kout, Capt. Shakeford, L. A. Williams and Harvey L. Harris. The men arrived in two Pullman coaches on the Wabash shortly after 9 a.m. After they had checked their baggage, a parade was formed, headed by Herbert T. Meadows, city editor of the St. Louis Argus and Walter Moore, followed by a band, the visiting officers, officers of the Medical reserve, members of the committee and citizens in automobiles in the order named. The line of march was east over Custantuil to Fourteenth, to Market, to Twelfth, to Locust, to Twentieth, to Market, to Jefferson, to Lawton, to Leffingwell, to Plane, to Compton to Lawton where the guests were breakfasted at the Keystone Cafe. The parade was imposing. The soldierly bearing of the distinguished officers was the signal for laudatory comment all along the line. Traffic was stopped to give them the right of way, policemen and civilians who recognized the rank of the men saluted them as they passed. There was cheering, not boisterous, but typical of the kind that has greeted all military demonstrations in St. Louis during the past few months. America is thinking, with a seriousness that does METROPOLITAN NOTES Last Metropolitan, we were greeted with a number of visitors, or it might be called the visitors' day. Among those who were present, the Rev. J. W. Alstork, Presiding Elder, Rev. L. Lyons, Evangelist, and Pastor of the A. M. E. Church at Little Rock, Ark., the Rev. Dr. Roberts, of Jones Chapel, Rev. C. F. Collins, of Webster Groves, and chief among the visitors was the Right Rev. L. W. Kyles, of the Seventh Episcopal district, who was making his annual Episcopal tour to the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church. He delivered two very able sermons to interesting crowds that gathered there. The old Metropolitan is still meeting with success, and is now headed for the goal in its Fall Rally. Get in the swim with us. The different Captains will be around to see you. Join in with the real workers. We are looking forward to Sunday as a notable day. The pastor comes on the firing line, with his soul-stirring proms. Prof. Robt. G. Jackson, who is said to be the greatest organist of the Bare, and who for years has held the position of organist in Allen Chapel, Kansas City, and who champions the Metropolitan Choir in context and who is a newlywed, to one of the brightest stars and Prima Donna of Cal., will appear in Metropolitan Church, Monday evening. Oct. 5nd, in an Organ Recital, and vocal solos by his bride, fide to become one of the leading features of the Metropolitan Church during this season. Near To Him. THE following St. Louis men received commissions at Camp Dodge, to be officers in the United States Army: Captain, L. Sanford; First Lieutenants, Geo. L. Vaughn, B. E. Watkins, W. A. Giles, B. H.

Louis was proud of the new officers and such 'remarks as "Aint They Fine," "There Go Our Boys" etc., were frequently heard. After breakfast, several of the visiting officers made a trip to Sumner High School where they were received and directed through the building by Prof. F. L. Williams. A reception was tendered at the Pythian Hall Auditorium in the evening, but most of the visiting officers were compelled to leave before the large audience assembled. Attorney Homer G. Phillips presided and short speeches were made by Capt. Tandy, Rev. Parr and Mr. Hudlin; also remarks on experiences by the officers present. The committee desires to thank the owners of automobiles and all citizens who assisted in making the welcome a success. Arrangements were necessary hurriedly made and there was little time to plan a larger demonstration. Who The Men Are A little more than four months ago, the United States War Department are planning to do their best in showing their friends how to raise money. The Woman's Union will be present in the afternoon. Mrs. D. Williams has returned home from Chicago. Mr. Wm. Gates is reported seriously ill. Rev. W. W. Perry, pastor; Mrs. M. S. Tankins, secretary.

Hall, president; Mrs. B. Coke, secretary. LEONARD AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH The Leonard Avenue Baptist Church will be represented at the State Convention, Springfield, Mo., by the pastor, Rev. P. W. Dumavant, who will also represent the Antichrist Association. We enjoyed good service last Sunday. The pastor completed his sermons on "Marriage and Divorce." These sermons have been delivered with interest and much force and we hope that they will be predictive of much good in this called upon its Negro citizens to furnish men to be trained for officers in the new army. The response was overwhelming. St. Louis alone offered more than ten times its quota. The government's call was for the most intelligent men of the race, within a certain age limit, college graduates preferred. The result was the assembling at Camp Dodge, Fort Des Moines, In., of a school composed of 1248 of the power of Negro manhood, consisting of business and professional men and educators from all parts of the country. 625 Receive Commissions These brave volunteers were required to undergo a strenuous course in training; to endure many hardships and not a few unpleasant incidents; to acquire the technical knowledge of modern warfare and to complete the course; qualified to command and instruct others, in four months. Although under ordinary conditions this training would have required at least two years, the men accomplished their task and, on last Monday 625 of them were commissioned. Of the numbers, 104 were made Captains, 392 First Lieutenants and 129 Second Lieutenants. Prior to the declaration of war with Germany, the United States army had but three commissioned Colored officers, aside from the army chaplain Col. Young who has since been retired from active service; Capt. Davis who is in the Philippines with the Ninth Cavalry and Captain Green, who is stationed in Liberia. Ordered To Report Nov. 1 The newly commissioned officers have received orders to report at the different cantonments on Sept. 1. It is the plan of the Government to consign about seven or eight thousand drafted men to each of several camps and the care and training of these men will be in the hands of the new Colored officers Lieutenants Vaughn, Giles, Taylor and Anthony have been assigned to Camp Dix, Wrightown, N. J.; Watkins, Brown and Mosby to Camp Funston; Fearing and Lowe to Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill. The St. Louis men under 35 years of age were made officers in the U. S. Reserves for a period of five years. The older men were assigned to the National Army for the duration of the war only. Join the Y. W. C. A.

Missouri Will Purnish Twelve Hundred Men. Three St. Louis Lieutenants Assigned There. SECOND DRAFT CALL BY DECEMBER Secretary Plans To Examine All Remaining Registered Men. Waiting For Appropriation. McAdoo Says Wealth Will Be Conscripted If Liberty Bond Issue Falls. All Negroes who have been drafted into the National Army will be sent to the selected cantonments on Oct. 27. This is the final order of the War Department. St. Louis men will be assigned to Camp Funston. The department has postponed the further moving of white men until after the Negroes have been taken to camp. Nearly 800 Colored men registered in St. Louis last June. Of this number over 400 will answer to the first draft call, about 1250 altogether from the state of Missouri. Three St. Louis First Lieutenants; Watkins, Brown and Mosby, have been assigned to Camp Funston. Call For Second Draft A call for a second draft of 500,000 is expected in December. Secretary Baker has indicated that a decision as to the examination and classification of all remaining men registered under the law, may be reached within a few days. The only delay is due to a lack of appropriation for the work. Wealth May Be Conscripted In a speech at San Diego, Cal., Tuesday, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo said: "Suppose that such an unspeakable thing should happen as that the people of the United States should fail to buy the Liberty Bonds. Then we shall have to conscript the wealth of the nation. We don't want to do it, but when the Government is conscripting the manhood of the country and when it is conscripting human life to carry the war to a successful conclusion, is it any time to be more tender with our dollars?" Captain L. O. Sanford, Infantry, O. R. C., who was recently commissioned at Pt. Des Moines, Iowa, spent three days in St. Louis as the guest of First Lieutenant C. H. Fearing, 4444 W. Belle Place, Captain Sanford is a Summer High student. He has been a soldier in the 25th U. S. Infantry for five years and is one of the very young men to receive the rank of captain.

Addition To Enrollment Expected In January. Normal Branch Needs Extending. New Extension Courses For Teachers Added. In an article on the congested condition of the Colored public schools, last week, the Argus called attention to the need of three more schools to relieve the situation and suggested the John Marshall on Lucky St., the Riddle at Evans and Whittier, and the Grow at 3325 Belle as being the most logical. It has since been learned that the Cupples school for white pupils will be finished by March, even sooner if the work was pushed. This school will take care of the 700 children now at the John Marshall. The Board of Education is inclined to believe that the present enrollment of the crowded schools is abnormal, due to the East St. Louis trouble and the migration of Negroes from the south, and that the coming of cold weather will drive large numbers of our people south again. The general opinion, however, is that all who intend to return to the south have already done so and that next spring will see many more families moving to St. Louis for permanent residence. That the growth of school attendance in St. Louis is not abnormal is proven by the facts concerning Summer High. This elegant structure was built to accommodate not over 800 pupils. In nine years the enrollment has gradually increased from 363 to 900 at present. Principal Frank L. Williams is of the opinion that this number will be increased to 1200 by January. It is already necessary to use the auditorium for classes. This clearly indicates that Summer will need relief. The question is, how? The Board of Education is experimenting this year, on a Junior High school. If this proves practical it may be a solution to the situation. A school of this kind could include the seventh and eighth grades of the Grammar school and the first grade of the high school. It is estimated that this would relieve Summer of about 300 pupils. The overrowed condition of Summer and the inadequacy of the Cottage school seriously interferes with the Normal branch. It is claimed that student teachers are not getting the training that is desired. It is suggested that a junior high school could be utilized for this purpose and that a training as broad and thorough as in the Harris Teachers College could be provided. Sumner High is one of, if not the most efficient Colored high school in the country. Besides its regular courses, all students are required to learn an occupation. A supervised study for teachers known as Extension Courses has also been added. All regular, substitute and apprentice teachers are eligible to enroll. The new branch is commendable as it offers an opportunity for the teachers to keep posted on modern and practical methods of teaching and keep freshened on the various subjects taught. The Colored women are being called upon to assist in disposing of Liberty Bonds. her for Camp No. 9, and will per- sonally call on all his Fraternal and personal friends. Commander T. L. Gentry is still rat- ring Camp No. 10. Just now you may join for $2,000. Policies $250 to $2,000 and sick benefits $5 per week and you don't have to die to win. Do business with your own race.

Has Exhausted Financial Resources. Appeals For Aid. INVESTIGATION BY THE GOVERNMENT Congressional Committee Has Power To Find Out Causes If Inquiry Shows That Travel Was Made Unsafe Or Shipments Delayed On Account Of Riot. Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, charged with being the leader of a number of Negroes in an alleged plot to rise and massacre the whites of East St. Louis, was taken to Bellville, Ill., from Cleveland, Ohio, last Sunday and landed in the county jail. Dr. Bundy had been brought back on a requisition honored by Gov. Cox of Ohio. A committee of men, consisting of Doctors Gordon, Phillips and Williams, representing the Medical Forum of St. Louis, visited Dr. Bundy Monday. The Dentist was broken in spirit and declared he had been financially ruined on account of his legal fight in Ohio. In speaking of his case Dr. Bundy said: "I am a persecuted man; the charges against me are absolutely false. I never entertained any crazy notion like this and I never had the slightest idea that the Negroes would do anything like this. Like every other Negro in East St. Louis, I knew there was trouble brewing for us but I want about my business and was not engaged in any plots or schemes to provide weapons as is charged, and I was not the leader of any armed mob of Negroes, nor at any time knew anything about any kind of plot, and nobody, black or white, can truthfully say that I urged our people to arm themselves or to do anything that was against the law. "I am the victim of dirty, low, petty politics. My relatives and friends have exhausted their financial resources for me and I now need assistance from others. If members of my race will come to my aid and secure council to defend me, I can establish my innocence. Without their help I can do nothing." At the meeting of the Medical Forum, Tuesday night, the organization subscribed $25. Individual members also signified their intention to subscribe personally. The money will be given to W. H. Huffman, 3137 Pine Street, to be used by the N. A. A. C. P., in Bundy's defense. An appeal is made to others to contribute through the same organization. Ten Negroes and three white men have been sentenced to 34 years each on account of the riots of July 1st and 2nd. Three whites are on trial now for killing two Negroes and one white man, 38 white men and several Negroes are in jail and 48 white men and 4 white women are out on bond awaiting trial. Government Starts Inquiry The Inquiry Committee of the National House of Representatives opened its first session in St. Louis Wednesday to investigate the East St. Louis riot. If the committee finds that travel was made unsafe and that interstate freight shipments were delayed on account of the riot, it is authorized to proceed and bring out the causes. The committee will have no difficulty in establishing these facts. Annual Meeting of Negro Business League The St. Louis Negro Business League will hold its annual meeting at A. U. K. & D.

We congratulate the boys. It is a high honor to be an Army Officer of her sons who have been thus far succeedless of the obstacles that are yet in the mist and their loyalty has the clear rim. "We are patriotic," "We are loyal." The above statements were most frequently made by the officers, who had just returned from Ft. DeMoines, during a patriotic meeting at Pythian Hall last Tuesday evening. The speakers also made frequent reference to President Wilson's speech in which he said, "We must make the world safe for Democracy." As we sat and looked upon the young men, who were full of enthusiasm, who are willing to go where ever the President says go, even into the very jaws of death; we could not refrain from longing for a democracy that is broad enough to reach the American Negro in this country. We congratulate the boys upon their achievement. It is a high honor to be an Army Officer, and St. Louis is proud of her sons who have been thus far successful. We know that regardless of the obstacles that are yet in their pathway their patriotism and their loyalty has the clear ring, true and tried. PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATION. Now there is much said about the United Railway of the Mill-tax that has accrued against favor of the City of St. Louis. In with, the presumption is that the United City, on account of this tax, over two million dollars is now how this amount is to be paid. That it is not able to pay the amount in accounts for and against the immediate pay to the City's Treasury have had their respect. The People's Interest Common people, those who are dependent upon them to and from their work, are the ones interested in the settlement or the adjustrion. The people will remember that they are concerned and better Street-car service; a more liberal pay for the employees; more Street car things for their comfort. All of these are to be so. Therefore it is up to the people to introspect settlement, and see to it, that whatever is beneficiary. It have the Street cars, as all of us cannot owe cripple our most useful public service constant demands. We are the loosers if we logon: A speedy adjustment for the best. Just now there is much said about the United Railways and the settlement of the Mill-tax that has accrued against the corporation in favor of the City of St. Louis. To begin with, the presumption is that the United Railways owes the city, on account of this tax, over two million dollars, and, the question is now how this amount is to be paid. The corporation pleads that it is not able to pay the amount in a lump sum. The arguments for and against the immediate payment of the Mill Tax into the City's Treasury have had their respective merits. The People's Interest The common people, those who are dependent upon the Street cars to take them to and from their work, are the ones who should be vitally interested in the settlement or the adjustment of this question. The people will remember that they are constantly calling for more and better Street-car service; a more liberal transfer system; more pay for the employees; more Street car lines and many other things for their comfort. All of these are the demands of the people. Therefore it is up to the people to interest themselves in this settlement, and see to it, that whatever is done, they are to be the beneficiary. We must have the Street cars, as all of us cannot own an auto. We must not cripple our most useful public service corporation by making unjust demands. We are the loosers if we do. So, let this be our slogan: A speedy adjustment for the benefit of the people. OUR ENEMY. getting held recently, where quite a number of professional and business men of our race o that confront the Negro in this country and our enemies were also considered. Some remarks, stated that The Associated by. This assertion furnished quite a deal manifested before the meeting adjourned the truthfulness of the statement, we onl At a meeting held recently, where quite a number of educators, professsional and business men of our race discussed the "problems" that confront the Negro in this country to-day, our friends, and our enemies were also considered. Some one during his eloquent remarks, stated that The Associated Press is our worst enemy. This assertion furnished quite a deal for thought, which was manifested before the meeting adjourned. As to the truthfulness of the statement, we only wish to remind our readers of the great and powerful influence of the press in moulding public sentiment. In the first place, it has the largest audiences and has them daily. Men, women and children make up its roll. The President in his high and exalted position, and the hobo in the "soup-line" are influenced by the power of the press reports. In fact, for the most part they are true, or at least enough truth, to influence the minds of the readers. Of course, the writers and editors of the powerful organs are human and as a rule prejudiced against colored people, and as a result of such prejudices, the writers and editors only publish in their news, or editorials the things injurious to the Negro. It seems that the only time when the Associated Press cares to gather news concerning the Negro, is when some kind of crime has been committed or at least when he is suspected of a crime. Then, as one speaker has said, "your name in BOX-CAR LETTERS on the FRONT PAGE will appear in the great sentiment making daily press." Just think of it, suppose that every time you heard the name of any individual, it was only when he was mentioned as a theif, robber, murderer or as having committed some other crime. Then suppose you heard it daily for years and years. It would be hard for you think otherwise. For that cause, the Negro is always on the defensive, fighting hard at great odds, even against the most powerful organization in all the world.--The Associated Press. It has been pointed out that if the Negroes are mentioned at all in the daily press, nine times out of ten, the article is so written, that it will reflect discredit upon the entire Negro race. This is unjust and unfair. Surely our worst enemy couldn't do more against us. Elsewhere in this issue of The Argus, we have endeavored to show by clippings from two of the daily papers of St. Louis published statements concerning the Negro, both good and bad. The public shall be the judge as to the fairness, and whether they bear the ear marks of words and phrases coming from our friends or enemies. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS American Woodmen Camp No. 9. Edward H. Anderson Commander and Camp No. 10, T. L. Gentry, Commander, are outgoing all former efforts in rolling in new logs. It seems that the 1000 members will be secured in 30 days when the limit was set at 90 days. Each camp is trying to roll in the larger number, as a banquet will be given in honor of the camp winning in this friendly Woodmen-battle. In next week's issle of the Argus will appear the picture of the first St. Louis women to graduate from the Woodman Training School as a regular salaried deputy. American Woodmen deputies pass insurance examinations just as other professional people and draw larger salaries than most of them. Take our hats off to the first woman deputy and give her your application when she calls. C. C. Cade, Supervisor, 3524 Lawton Ave. 12TH ANNIVERSARY The Christian Spiritual Anniversary Will Celebrate the Fourth Friday— Rev. O. C. Maxwell, Pastor of First Baptist, Will Preach the Sermon The 12th Anniversary of the Christian Spiritual Church, which is now located at 2727 Lawton, will be celebrated Oct. 26 (the fourth Friday) Rector Weatherford stated that he expected this to be the largest attendance of any previous years, as the people are beginning to appreciate the real meaning of Spiritual churches more and more each year. The congregation is also raising money to build a new church and the money raised on this occasion will go toward the building fund. Rev. O. C. Maxwell, pastor of the First Baptist Church, will preach the sermon from the 2nd chapter of Peter. Persons planning to attend should read the chapter-for much inspiration. Some of the most noted Spiritual mediums in the city will be present to assist in giving tests. A tree will offering will be taken in the interest of the building fund. Refreshments-free. J. S. Weatherford, Refreshments-assisted by L. Cooper. M. Owen, Sec LANE TABERNACLE Don't leave your religion at church, said Rev. Smith to the members Sunday morning. "We all find our religion here, but not all of us carry it away. On an investigation made at the Public Library the pastor reports that not one third of the Colored people are reading religious books. We should grow in grace each day said the speaker, an educated head and a carnal heart are dangerous to the owner. The Steward department headed by Mrs. Marsh, Mrs. R. J. Hunt and Mr. W. H. Brown lead all departments in the Doxology Rally. The Non-Denominational Club The church wishes to express gratification to the Non-Denominational Club for the beautiful offering tables that they presented on the first Sunday. Composed of a lovely group—of ladies, who are no respecters of Denomination, but enjoy working anywhere uplift work is being carried on the club is a great success. From the text of the president, Mrs. Hopkins, presentation speeches the club did not consider this an act of charity, but an expression of selfishness that exists between the club and all religious organizations. Again we thank the club and ask God's blessings that the good work may continue. Epworth League. Mr. Ross the leader sprang a surprise on the league members Sunday evening by asking for a Bible quotation from every one present. The program was made up of Sunday school teachers, and was exceedingly good. Miss Katie Smith teacher and also treasurer of the league introduced the subject, "What is committed to you!" To the parents Mrs Smith said that the lives of their children were committed to them until they reached a responsible age. Every one, said Miss Smith, has a duty that God has committed to you. Excellent Solos were rendered by Mrs. Ella Norman, and Miss Echel Copeland, "My mothers' prayer," the selection offered by Mr. Joe King was very touching. The all Sunday school in the league day proved to be a success. Mr. John Carter secretary of the trustee board rendered greetings to the league. Mrs Wisdom wishes to thank the Sunday school teachers for the lovely percolator presented in Sunday school Sunday. Sunday the subject will be, "Putting religion into politics," scripture reading found in the 1st chapter of Isaiah. Sunday Oct. 28th the meeting will be conducted by Miss Myrtle Payne. The Sun set school School Club Last Thursday evening the Sun Set Club an auxiliary of Lane Tabernacle Sunday school met at the home of Miss Daisey Thompson, 4122 Finney Ave. One particular aim of the club is to get all members of the church that cannot go to Sunday school to study the lesson at home. Another important feature in which the members are all interested in the Xmas sayings department. The club has a bank in which all members make a deposit each week'. A week before Xmas the bank will be opened and every member will receive the balance, those who have deposits as they appear on the secretary's record are: Mr. W. S. Anderson Mrs. Lena Noble, Mr. A. L. Gardner, O. W. Hamilton, J. Armstrong, H. Wearrs, R. C. Lee, Max McCrain, L. Smiley P. Proby, Mrs. Joe Lee, Ella Oarr, Lizzie Morris, A, Proby, Josephine Maupin, Mary Cooper, Miss Grace Scott treasurer of the department is in charge of the bank. Mrs. Maupin is the secretary. Mrs. P. C. McGee, a member of the club has returned from a visit to points in Illinois and Michigan. After the meeting the hostess, served a delicious luncheon. WAYMEN A. M. E. CHURCH The church has just closed a most successful years work under its very efficient pastor Rev. A. R. Dobbins, the reports show that we have raised $2,834.15 this year. Peace and harmony have prevailed throughout the year; the congregation has grown by leaps and bounds. The fourth quarterly conference had more the appearance of a love feast than a business meeting and this has been the condition in every business gathering. To say he is loved by every member a but a faint expression; he is for business when there is business when there is business to be attended to, and no pay. A plain and practical exponent of law and insists it must be observed. Presiding Elder Dr. J.D. Barkale, after hearing the reports of the year's work gave vent to his hearty approval of the great work done by the baby church in St. Louis, by saying "I do not shout, but I feel like shouting tonight." Little did we think it was possible for this church to pay a pastor $934.15 and yet we do not feel we have done enough for this Gospel preacher and his wife who has stood close by his side, though not at all in the very best health but by her affable and kind manner of dealing and mixing with those with whom she comes in contact has immortalized her in the hearts of the people of this church and city. Monday night was another memorable occasion in the history of this church. Unannounced our Beloved Bishop Parks, and his wife became the guests of the "baby church," or as is generally called his church. The ladies of the different boards upon learning of their presence at the parsonage decided to prepare dinner in the dining room of the church and have the Bishop and wife to take a lunch with them in the name of his baby, the Bishop gladly accepted and the ladies spread a feast that would have done credit to a king. would have done credit to a king. While we know the laws of the A. M. E. Church changes its pastors, when in the wisdom of the P. E. and Bishop so to do, we are not looking for such a blow-to the church to have our pastor taken from us, for it would mean a shock that to our minds we could not soon get over. Since he knows the conditions and the people have learned him and to know him is to love him, we look forward to greater achievements another year. These are sentiments sanctioned by the entire congregation, and are hereby certified to by the officials of Wayman, A. M. E. Church. L. R. Springer, Secretary Trustee Board, J. F. Ransom, Church Clerk. ALL SAINTS EPISCOPAL CHURCH NOTES On All Saints Day, Thursday, November 1st, at 8 P. M., Memorial Services will be held for the late rector, Rev. C. M. C. Mason.

The Official Board held its final meeting for the conference year Monday night. It was a splendid session. The reports were "Top Noteh," and showed every department in excellent condition.

The financial progress has kept pace with the spiritual. Dr. Peck will read his report with pride, knowing he has had the hearty co-operation of his officers and laymen throughout the entire year. Rev. A. A. Gilbert Presiding Elder of the S. W. District and former pastor of St. James will preach at the eleven o'clock service. Rev. Gilbert endeard himself to not only his parishioners but all with whom he came in contact. Come and hear him Sunday morning. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH The services last Sunday were well attended. The pastor in his usual digisigned manner preached a most delightful and spiritual sermon. He chose for a text Isa. 54:10, "For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee—" He brought out many beautiful points and the presence of the spirit of the Holy Ghost was greatly manifested.

Ewing Ave, who departed this life Wednesday Aug. 29, 1917. We especially wish to thank W. W. C. Gordon, undertaker, for his excellent service and the kind and sympathetic friends for the beautiful floral offerings. Remains were taken to Wentzville, Mo., accompanied by friends and relatives. Sadly missed by wife, Bessie Casner. The grim reaper entered our ranks Thursday Oct. 4th, and moved from earth to heaven. Mrs. Engelin R. Cole the faithful wife of our distinguished pastor, Dr. E. C. Cole. She was born Nov. 25, 1873, age 43 years 10 months and 9 days. She was a modest and nurturing worker in the Cause of the Master, choosing rather to follow than to lead, doing the drudgery work of the church in such a manner as to give it tone and dignity. She was married to Dr. Cole Sept. 29, 1891, at Starksville, Miss., and they lived together 26 years and 5 days. In 1892 they left the south to seek their fortunes in the west. In his early postorate it is true that they changed fields often due more the fact of limited support than any other cause. She was loved and honored in all of the charges held by her husband. Dr. Cole and his wife gave up their work in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1915 and returned to St. Louis with the view of settling down for life in their home, and thereby give her the long cherished desire of her soul to "keep house," in which capacity she had no superiors and few equals. She said to her husband several times after moving into their home that she would not consent to move again to gratify the wishes of evil minded church members that could never be satisfied with any minister on earth, therefore she put forth all of the strength as she had never done before to aid her husband in making Providence Church one of the heat in St. Louis. She was exceptionally talented as a minister's wife, in that she could fill any position in church work as organist, pianist, soloist or whatnot, and the more she had to do the happier she seemed to be. Her body was brought to Providence Baptist Church Saturday, Oct. 6, at 6 P. M. and lay in state till Sunday evening. Oct. 7th, 5 P. M. during which time thousands viewed the remains. At 2 P. M. Sunday afternoon the religious rites began. Seristare reading, prayer, singing and calogistic services by a number of the pastors and ministers of the city, and resolutions of sympathy from all departments of the church were read, and at the close of these services the body was moved to the Union Station and placed about 10' the M. & O. train which pulled out of the station at 8:05 P. M. for Starksville, Miss. Rev. Cole, and her brother Mr. Marcuss Chiles accompanied the remains to its destination, reaching there Monday afternoon at 2 P. M. the body was moved from the station at Starksville to the residence of her parents, both of whom are yet living. After reviewing the remains in the home it was carried to the church half a block away by her school mates setting as pallbearers. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Hutchins, pastor of the church and Rev. R. G. Moody of Macon, Miss. It was at this altar twenty-six years ago that she was united in holy wdlock to Dr. Cole. At the close of the service in Starksville, Dr. Cole gave a short history of their struggles for the Cause of Christ, and how she was lifted as it were unconsciously to heaven. She was laid 'away to rest in the family lot in Starksville, and as the whistles and bells sounded at the close of the day the family turned their faces homward.

MOody Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (Copyright 1911, Western Magazine) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 21 THE TEMPLE REBUILT AND DEDI- CATED. LESSON TEXT—Era 3:15-13: 6:14-18. GOLDEN TEXT—Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise—Psalms 100:4. The remnant which returned had now become settled in their new homes. As it would be a considerable time before the temple could be rebuilt, armenagement was made for the religious life as early as possible, as religion was the very heart of the nation's life. They first set up the altar of the God of Israel (3:1-3) and offered buer- offeringes thereon. They next received the annual festivals (3:1-4) which had a powerful, unifying influence upon them. i. The Appointment of Officers to Set Forward the Work of the Lord's House (v. 8.9). Overseers were needed to direct this great work. Rubbish needed to be cleared away so the building operations could begin; timber needed to be cut in the Lebanon forests and floated down to Joppa; stones needed to be cut from the quarries; intelligent and consecrated men were needed to direct this work, as it was needful that it be done with the utmost expedition. The Lord's house demands the most systematic adjustment of its labors. More zeal will not make up for lack of intelligence. II. The Foundation of the Temple Laid (3:10-13). This was done amid great reolicing. The consciousness that the Lord's house was taking shape, even though the mere foundations could be seen, provoked great enthusiasm on the part of the people. Musicians were appointed to furnish music while the work was being done. Under the influence of music men will do better work, armies will march and fight better when bands are playing. While there was great joy, there was also, mingled sorrow. This was on the part of the elders who had seen the former temple. The meanness of the present temple in comparison with Solomon's temple caused their praise to be drowned with their sorrow. These people belonged to that class who think that nothing now is so good as in the former days. So completely were these voices commingled that the people could not discern the one from the other. III. The Building of the Temple Delayed by Opposition. (Chapters 4 and 5). For a time matters went smoothly with them, but as soon as the work had taken such shape as to show that there was some prospect of success, the half-heathen Samaritans began to oppose them. No vital work of God will be allowed to go on without opposition. Satan resents and bitterly opposes all inroads upon his kingdom. These Samaritans sought to frustrate this work of God by: (1) An Alliance. With the Jews (4:2, 8). They wanted to bring the work in harmony with their own religious practices, as God's pure worship would be a constant rebuke to them. This is ever the way of the world, to seek to effect a compromise with God's children; but God's call is separation. "Come out from among them" (2 Cor. 6:14-18). Nothing so weakens God's cause as world alliance and compromise. There is but one answer to be given to such an offer of compromise. "We have nothing to do with us in building a house unto our God." We are in the world, but not of the world. (2) Weakening the Hands of the People (4:4). Doubtless this included the withdrawal of supplies, the spreading of dissension among the workmen, and the employment of counselors against them. (3) Letters of Accusation to the Persian King (4:8,7). So severe was this opposition that the building was delayed for a term of years. These counselors succeeded in creating doubt as to whether Cyrus had ever issued a decree for their return. This wicked opposition resulted in the undoing of the opposers, for search was made and a copy was found. Darius confirmed this by his own decree, and directed that aid be given from the royal taxes so that the house of God might be built. IV. The Temple Completed and Dedicated (6:14-18). The Prophets Hagget and Zachariah now appear, and by warnings, exorcations and entreaties stir up the people so that the work goes forward to a successful completion. Without their aid probably the work would never have been completed. Human nature at times needs to be cheered and urged forward. These prophets did not themselves work in the building of the walls; yet their work was of even greater importance. It is generally found that this is so with the religious leaders today. The words of cheer and encouragement of the Christian minister are needed daily for those who labor in the building of the Lord's house. Were it not for them many would give up the struggle. When the building was finished it was dedicated to God with great joy. This was possible because they had built and finished their task according to the commandment of the God of Israel. The service of dedication was much after the order of that of Solomon's temple, only on a less magnificent Carter's Little Liver Pills You Cannot Be Constipated and Happy A Remedy That Makes Life Worth Living Genuine bears signature Small Pill Small Dose Small Price ABSENCE of Iron in the Blood is the reason for many colorless face but CARTER'S IRON PILLS will greatly help most pale-faced people.

Fate was kinder to the patrons, than on previous occasions, for it enabled Mr. Turpin to secure a high class white act, which adds variety to the bill, filling out a program that is well above the average and defighting crowded houses nightly. Russell's Dancing Models, a white act, are presenting a beautiful scenic novelty, "Visions of Splendor," staged with their own special scenery and electrical effects. The act, opens with a ballade, "Visions of Spain," set in a tropical scene. The next number is "Spirit of the Tempest," presenting a beautiful dance on a large white globe amid flashes of lightning and the roar of thunder. An aerobic dance is next given and the act closes with a transformation scene, "Visions de Art," which is a series of beautiful poses representing famous paintings; the originals of which are worth many hundred thousand dollars. Acts of this class are seldom seen in small houses. The Frisco Four, two men and two women is a musical comedy combination with a punch. In their singing, harmony is featured and their numbers call for round after round of applause. After opening with "Dixie," the company does a Honolulu dance that is modest and pretty. The next is "Alabama Jubilee," the company looking nifty in automobile costumes. A medley of chorus, filled with harmony and humor closes the first part of the act. The second part is a musical comedy entitled, "Was St. Peter a Colored Man." This is an operatic comedy skit, replete with good singing, sarcastic wit and dancing. A lively song and dance finale is a fitting climax to the act, which is a decisive hit. Mattie Edwards, a sweet singer with a rich contralto voice, is a footlights' gem of rare quality. She sings, "Some One More Lonesome Than You," with an interlude recitation; "The Sunshine of Your Smile," and "Oh, Johnny." In the latter she impersonates different national characters in their versions of the laye ditty. She wins big applause, being frequently interrupted by outbursts of pent up enthusiasm. Alex Bailey opens the show with a triple of song numbers and a reel of rapid fire talk. His closing piece, "When the Twilight Comes to Kiss the Rose Goodnight," is a beautiful melody well sung. NEXT WEEK Another big show is promised at the Booker Washington Theatre, next week. On the bill will be Doc Strain and Miss Ford, in a singing and dancing act; Sidney Kirkpatrick and Laura Bowman, high class vocalists; The Musical Seminoles, instrumental wonders and one other big act. The first episode of "The Red Ace," will be shown on Monday night, the 15th episode of "The Grey Ghost," on Wednesday and the "Voice on the Wire," on Friday. Lone Bert Murphy has crossed the "Great Divide." The popular comedian and movie star died in Chicago October 4, victim of tuberculosis. St. Louisiana will ever remember his two big songs hits, "This Very Dog" and "He's In the Jail House Now." It makes a woman proud to say that she owns her home.

In the part of "Little Bear," the Indian, Mr. Johnson will be a conspicuous figure throughout the serial. Marie Walcamp plays the leading character, "Virginia Dixon." "The Red Ace," is thrilling beyond words. Its sensational dare-devil stunts, surprises and suspense are of the kind that make audiences grip their seats, while they are held spell bound with eyes riveted on the screen. There is a mysterious phantom, half-man, half-beast, who pounces on his prey from the tree tops, snatches rivers up into the branches of trees, and whose strength is something phenomenal. There is a troop of Northwest Mounted Police, a settlement of half-breed Indians, a large village built special for this serial, and a platinum mine, whose only entrance is through the bottom of a lake. "The Red Ace" is the name of a carefully hidden mine where the Dixons obtain the platinum with which they have contracted to supply the government. The enemies of the government have discovered the fact, and have diverted every shipment to their own solely pressed munitions makers. The Government of the United States naturally concludes that the Dixons have turned traitors. They order an investigation in Lost Hope, and in Washington, where Virginia Dixon, the daughter, lives. Virginia receives a letter from her brother, which tells her that some mysterious power is tampering with their shipments, that all the messengers have been killed, and that her father has disappeared. He says he will blow up the entrance to the mine and leave the directions for finding the mine and hidden platinum in a certain ring. Then the letter is broken off shortly. Virginia hastens to Lost Hope, and with all the strength and ingenuity at her command, sets about unraveling the mystery of the phantom beast, the voice in, the tree, the hidden chambers and the lost mine, and clearing the name of her faimily of the charge of treason lodged against it.
