When the so-called trial was made twenty four persons were arrested, every one was employed there, and every one of them was discharged when the case was heard. The only charge against them was vagrancy. The absurdity of such a charge being placed against men who worked every day is too apparent to need comment. The charges saving failed in court, the officer caused the order to be cited before the Excuse Commission. These charges were heard, the officers of the courts attended, many notified. The Excuse Commission ordered the plea opened. There is a well founded rumor that certain covets ever are directed toward this place because of its success. This is a Negro enterprise. Mr. Robinson and has been successful. Can it be possible that you are in the deal with the white man who desires this place, to discredit the proprietor? There was not a word of testimony before the Commission, showing that there were seventy persons, twenty of whom were in the place at the time, and the man who owns it is unqualified, falsehood. If there had been the officers would certainly have arrested them also. The statements attributed to Officer Cooper and the Excuse Commission, are unqualified falsehoods and we challenge you. Mr. Robinson, to prove that either of them made the statements you claim. Mr. Robinson, you seem to take offense at the statement about the heat people going there. Why, Mr. Robinson! When that was said and there are hundreds of people in who go there, and their reputation for truth, honesty and decency is good enough you believe. It will do RECIPEPS: FROM 'DETECTIVE COOPER' LETTER TO DR. SHAW I wish to state that Mr. Cooper, the high class and much respected citizen and detective of Mr. Louis, said in a letter to me, April 2, that the Clausius misquoted him, as regarded the statement purported to have been made by the Exxis Commission. He said it was false and should be corrected. Here are a few excerpts from his letter. Mr. Louis, Mo., Apr. 5, 1918. My Dear Brother, "In reference to the case of Chas. Mills, 3141 Lawton Ave., charged with conducting a disorderly place at the above mentioned address and concerning your statement relative to same, I especially submit for your information, that I find no fault in you. You undoubtedly spoke the truth, in reply to every question, and your statement did not benefit Mills or injure my case against you." He further stated in this letter that Excise Commissioner Lewis stated at the close, of the case, that the evidence was evenly divided as to the character and conduct of the place, and that he did not know any particular of the patrons, and therefore had no reason for the testimony of those who festified. He said, "I am the one who spoke of the white prostitutes, and not the Excise Commissioner." These are some of the exact words contained in the letter written and signed by Mr. I. L. Cooper, a gentleman so far as I know of the first water. Who can dispute it! — B. G. Shaw. our degraded souls good. Mr. Robinson, if it is a fact that you have qualified to pass judgment on your fellowmen, "He who goes reformate heat, should first reform himself." Have you done so? We can not have any faith in your reformation, in your pretention of decency, in your assumed "holier than thou" attitude, as long as you miscelliously misrepresent the truth. "If the roll were called of the persons who have visited this place, would your name be there? We know it would and know that you have been there. Why? You are the public? Why this hypocrisy? If you knew so much about the place why did you not inform the Commissioner! The men you now abuse would have been glad to have met you there. But this is asking too much of you and your kind to come out into the open. Look around Mr. Robinson. who are your "coherers?" Are yours any better than the men of whom you complain? There is no need crying "wolf" the sheep safe. Watch the sheep the sheep will take care of themselves. Now Mr. Robinson. we are going to (Continued on Page 5) I note also these words in your paper, "What Dr. SHEN: said was now of so much consequence as the position in which he placed himself." I ask the gentleman of the Clarion, if what said was of so little consequence, why he spread from one end of your paper to another up the big headlines, that I had digressed the Gentlemen of the Clarion, I demand as in that statement, I have digressed the Race, by stating a fact after being sora to do so. I find also in the Clarion a statement accredited to me as saying, "That the best Negress of St. Louis and all over the country want thure." I brand that statement as the blackest of untruths. I also demand a retraction in that statement. Immaculate gentlemen of the Clarion, I also find a statement in your paper which credits me with having said, that was a frequent visitor to Mr. Mill's jail, and never seen anything wrong going on. I bravelt that statement as a forked crimson falsehood. In this I also demand a retraction. Ninety branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, scattered throughout the country in all the principal cities are to join April 17 to 27 in a nation-wide "Moorfield Storey Drive" for 50,000 members. This membership drive has been undertaken by these branches as a testimonial to Moorfield Storey of Boston, the Association's President, in recognition of his service to the Colored people of the nation in the Louisville Segregation Case. In that case compulsory residential segregation of Colored people was declared unconstitutional by unanimous decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, handed down last November. The Colored people and their friends declare the anti-segregation victory to be the legal landmark affecting the New York and the Fifteenth Amendment was enacted. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was founded on Lincoln's Birthday, 1909, and has its headquarters in New York. From its New York office an appeal for public support in its membership campaign is made in the following statement issued today: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People appeals to all fair-minded citizens, white and Colored, to join with it in the effort to secure simple justice under the law for our Colored citizens. They represent over one-fifth of our American citizenship. The National Assoc. for the Advancement of Colored People is making a nation wide appeal for membership in our row grounds of race or class privilege, but on the broad ground of justice, of equal protection of all citizens under the law without distinction of race or creed or class. The maintenance of these just principles is of equal interest to all classes of citizens and an essential element of national strength. We therefore feel justified in making all classes of citizens to join our Association for the Advancement of Justice and civil liberties. The Association admits members upon request of any amount from one dollar per year upwards. "The Association feels that the American people have a right to be proud of the 100,000. Collared soldiers now serving in the regular army and the national army. As a result of an active campaign on the part of this Association an offgrass training camp for men was inaugurated at Des Moines, Iowa, in a consequence of which nearly seven hundred North officers were commissioned." . . . "The Association, through an anti-lynching fund contributed by believers in law and order, investigates as many cases as possible of lynching and mob violence, gives publicity to the facts regarding them and endeavors to arouse public opinion against the mob of the Chairman of the Board through the gift of the Chairman of the Board of the roctors of the Association, the stipend Medal is awarded for the highest or noblest achievement for a Negro American during the preceding year."

Club a talk that was well worth going into to hear. Preck will then deliver the keynote to his administration expressing the desire to do all in his power for the Boosters. In the Boosters and the rate board he will speak to his subject the "Meets of Charles A. Milly," organizer of the Boosters, a fitting tribute to this little man of action. Talks were also made by Mr. Albert J. Hall, Alonzo Johnson, Dr. D. W. Scott, Dr. G. D. Kerry, G. Washington Lewis, Ernest Frost, Attert M. Owens, spoke at length and to some purpose "along the lines of democracy and the rights of the Negro race in the great strife now going on in the world was a wonderful and instructive talk that enlightened many of those present. Mr. Charles H. Turpin spoke along civic lines, and a subject right to the point and one of concern Henry Philip, the antiquated creator, delivered one of his characteristic speeches concerning the benefits to be derived by the Negro from the world war and on the lines of democracy. His speech closed one of the most enjoyable meetings that the Boosters have had since their organization. This organization of Boosters is just now beginning its real work and, is rolling to its support some of the best elements of progressive citizens, business and professional men. Watch for the membership campaign that is soon to be instituted, and then the great building plan that will awaken our race to be many opportunities that we are passing for lack of a central organization of civic betterment.

Welcome to the Wife of One Who Drinks, NORA STATION F., New York, N.Y. CLARION ARTIGLE FALSE SAYS REV. B. G. SHAW (Continued From Page Three) A yes, a good question. Further make this positive statement: that the Exise Commissioner, Mr. Lewis, did not ask me a single question, in regards to Charlie Mills' place of business, Mr. Cooper, a man that I regard as the best and most honest, unpright citizens I have ever met, and a man who has great regard for the truth, will tell you that I am the only man that gave any testimony 'at all, that he did not ask questions. Gentlemen, Detective Cooper did not ask me a single question. Lieutenant Stinger, by whom I sat, heard every word I said, did not ask me a single question: I whispered to Lieutenant THE MUSICIAN A Stinger and asked him to ask me what my business was at Charlie Mills*. He nodded his head but did not ask a single question. If the above gentlemen were prosecuting the case and I had given damaging testimony, as the Clarions says, why didn't they ask me some question that would offset such damaging testimony as the St. Louis Clarion testifies! The above answers and questions are absolutely correct. I leave it to the best thinking people of St. Louis as to whether the Race has been disgraced by such answers as I gave to the above questions. The gentlemen of the Clarion says that it was not so much what I said, but the position in which I placed myself that disgraced the Race. I wish to state that I am an American citizen, never was tried or convicted for a crime at any time or any place in the world, and I have a right as a free citizen to go any place I wish so long as I keep within the bounds of my own rights and the rights of my neighbor. I am a free American citizen, born free, and being a minister of the Gospel gives me a greater right to go in all kind of places, as nothing else would. My position and the places I go will not be checked by any two by four patent sheet newspaper. Yes, gentlemen, I have gone to Mr. Mills' place, and I was not asked if I had seen anything there wrong going on, and if I had been asked, I would have stated I saw no more wrong there, than I had seen in other saloons of like character.

I have not only visited them, but I have offered prayer, and special invitations for them, to come to Christ and the church. I have took prayers in Charlie Mills' place. One soul on the 2nd floor of that same building, because of my visit, converted and baltized and became a member of the church of which I am pastor. My only mission to the saloons and poolrooms of this city was to invite them to a higher and nobler life. I have this to say of the bartenders and proprietors as well as of the customers, that whenever I would enter the saloon they would pull off their hats and hide THE NEW YORKER their beer glasses and wine cups behind them. Yes, I was there, praying and trying to save souls for the kingdom of God, while our managing editor of the Clarifon, who is a Christian and steward in the Church of God, has been, there drinking. The proprietor said he had served him himself there. There may be some who pose before the public as great reformers; they are anything more than "whited sepulchers," filled with dead men's bones. What did my visit mean to the following parsons, who will answer: Rev. William Jordan said, because that I made visits to the poolrooms and saloons and gave the healthy handshake to all whom I met, he decided to quit his waywardness and come into the church. He is not only a Christian but a preacher of righteousness and pastor of one of our churches at the Chain of Rocks. Ask Mr. Smith, who tended bar for the late Johnny Jones; he will tell you I sought him in the saloon, and I warned him to flee the wrath to come, and he is now a member of the church. Ask Mr. Williams, who tended bar for Jerry Enrofa, why he became a member of Metropolitan Church, and he will tell you that it was my friendly and prayerful visits to places where sinners and, because I did not ignore and hold myself aloof from men who were not members of the church. I have many others who are willing to come forward with testimonies, and will say I found them in a waste howling wilderness, where death and dark damnation reigns, and brought them to the light of Christ. The false and misleading statements made by the Clarion, were intended to impede the progress of some of her best citizens, but I am reminded of a story, and it goes like this: I have seen dogs bay the moon before, but the moon moved on. I am also reminded of another story: It is said there is a bird that sails in the heavens, that can scent the poisonous odor of a dead pig ten miles away, when it would not get the sweet perfume of a barrel of Mary Garden, if it were stuck under their nose. Yes, I said I was pastor of more than 3,000 people. I am very proud of them, and the most of them are not parasites, as some others I know who are expecting their living from the general public. I trust I will never find one who will go publicly mud-singing and cutting off the heads that gives them bread to eat. These 3,000 or more members stand back of their pastor in his work for the good of humanity. In a meeting last Thursday that called for all ministers of the city to dishese this same matter, before this article appeared, I am told the St. Lois Clarion had a representative there. If they meant to deal out justice and fairness to its readers and subscribers why did he not come to me and tell me that they were 'preparing an article against my life and character!' He was there when I spoke against sin in every conceivable walk of life, and asked that the ministers form themselves into a committee, to go into every dive and so-called hellhole, where our people are constantly sinning their lives away, to end in an eternal hell. He heard me any. I would be chairman of such a committee and would lead the procession through the sinn-denied districts. Further, this same representative was there, when I made a motion inviting all the ministers of St. Louis, regardless of denomination, to come together and organize an Inter- denominational Alliance. The purpose of which would be waging a righteous fight against evil and all other places that are not in keeping with the law of God and of the State. This same reporter was there when I made a flat statement and denial of the statement, "I saw nothing wrong in Charlie Mill's place." I said then, I say now, that such a question was not asked me in the Execise Commissioner's Office. He heard me say that whoever and such a thing misrepresented the truth, that I hated a liar, and any man who would state a thing of that kind must be that thing I hate (liar). "Why did he not position these things? Why would he rather choose to slander a man, after knowing the facts in the accused in the face of the accusers, when they themselves witnessed what the accused said, in the meeting that was called for all ministers. I ask the public to read carefully here, that they may see the unrighteous and malicious attack. I would like to know from whence cometh these great reformers all at once, and ask if they have lived long enough to have a record, if so what is the record? In this same ministerial meeting, my own good friend and fellow-minister, with whom I have been-an associate since my coming to St. Louis in the person of Dr. Abbott, and a man I believe to be a Christian gentleman, said to me in this same Ministerial Alliance, that if he had been summoned as I was summoned, he would have answered exactly as I answered, with one exception, and that was, that he understood that I said I had frequently visited the place of Mr. Mills and had never found anything wrong there. Mr. L. S. Williams the undertaker, who is also a member of Union Memorial Church, agreed with Dr. Abbott that he understood me to make such a statement. I then and there fully denied having uttered such words as "finding no wrong there." But as to my going I have never denied. Now I have 20- or more other good citizens who heard every word I said and will also testify I made no such utterance; however, let it be understood that there is no barrier, or disagreement, or grievance with my ecclesiastical friend, we are in fellowship, as far as I know. I have just this word for the sinner friends of St. Louis: I hope to always have the highest Christian feeling for them and shall never strike the weaker to glorify the stronger. Jesus Christ came into the world. He said, to seek and to save sinners, and I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, therefore my mission is to seek and save sinners. And when the shades of the evening of my life shall be fast coming down, and when my body is cold in death, I want ample time given that sinners may pass along and have the last look upon my lifeless form and say, "There lies a man who was a friend to sinners." I am sick of the kid glove, and the tough me not Christian, who cannot go into the lowest dive and hell hole that may be found in our city and come out, a shining and blazing Christian light, as if they had never gone into them. If this Christianity won't keep you when you go there, why want to give it to someone else, if it has no power to save? And now in these last words, I have done my best to clarify this matter, that the most ignorant and skeptical person might know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Believing that such has been done, I am therefore asking the St. Louis Clarion, if it believes in fair play, in giving justice to all of its subscribers and readers, and if it would have the public to know the truth, I am asking them to publish this article, give it the first page as it did the other one. The other one led to destruction; this leads to life. Come clean and let the people know the truth. If this article I am sending you is not the truth, publish it and let the people know what a big liar I am; if you cannot prove it false, let them judge who has disgraced the Race. I have tried to stick to my subject, without getting down to slinging mud. For he who slings mud must first himself get muddy, therefore I do not wish to get muddy. I shall now therefore set apart the 4th Sunday in April to be known as a day of Saloon owners and Bartenders, and do here especially invite all the proprietors and bartenders of saloons and owners of poolrooms and theatres owed by my race, at which time I shall deliver special sermons, in their interest for a higher and nobler life. What if a minister should state in his own opinion 'that prohibition was wrong, and many of them have stated such a thing, should they be placed in jail? Should they be regarded as a disgrace to their race? If so, some of the most cultured ministers of earth have disgraced their races. Well, I do not agree with any man who could make such a statement, and yet I would honor and respect any man who is honest enough to express his own conscientious opinions, and then 'if I give my opinion, which I believe to be absolutely honest and truthful, wherein can the gainer place me as a disgrace of the race! I am willing to put my work of eight years in St. Louis and my work 19 years in the ministry against the short, brief career of the St. Louis Clarion. "It was born just 3 or 4 years ago. During these 19 years of my ministry, I have answered every roll call and have served every day. My character has never been questioned in a single annual Conference, during my entire ministry. All who know the rules of Methodism, know that the life and character of every minister must be passed upon once every year. At the last. General Conference in Louisville, Ky. I was awarded a gold medal. for having accomplished the largest amount of work, as a single individual since the organization of the church which was 125 years. And I feel that with such a record, the public will not be so easily misled by any mudslinging statement the Clarion can publish. I challenge the, St. Louis Clarion, if they know anything detrimental to the character of Mr. Mills, please come forward and state it, so if I am ever called again to make a statement concerning him, I will know the truth and defend the same.

Clarion's Statement Misrepresent Us Say Citizens tive in printing that article. Since you have gone to the public about others, certainly you will not object to us going to the public about you. You and your "cohorts" are merely hiding behind the "Keystone" matter as a shield. Don't you know that, we know that what you say relative to the Garand Lodge Knights of Pythias in reference to the entertainment of the Supreme Lodge is a joke? When do you think you are fooling, certainly nobody but yourself. Don't you know that, we know that, the executive committee, about whom you prate, whose names you printed, never served, never had anything to do with the entertainment of the Supreme Lodge, and this was by request of the Supreme Lodge officers and the vote of the local lodge's representatives. Now you say you quit, when you saw the trend of things, etc. You all of you quit. Just like the fellow did who after being got mad and quit. Your statement that "the Grand Lodge saw the trend of things," etc. is a falsehood. Saw what trend of things? There is one thing that was seen, and now to, and you now attack the Keystone owner to get even and think you and your gang are fooling the public. "What fools we mortals be!". The Supreme Lodge members knew where they wanted to go, and went. What business of yours was it? You are trying to make it appear that you and your committee foresee something to warn the public about—it is foolish. Mr. Robinson, somewhere we have read, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against the neighbor." Mr. Robinson, did you ever hear the story about the Fox and the Grape? You, like the fox, wanted the grape. Your crowd did not get them. We thought the Pythian matter was all over and forgotten, but not so it ranks in your heart and now you and your would be "liberty posers" are attempting to mislead, misrepresent and willfully deceive the public; with revenge as your object. What a fine Pythian spirit! Damon, turn over your grave! the Pythian, Robinson, detaining your memory. When did you get the right to "declare" anything on behalf of the Knights of Pythias of Missouri? Who gave it to you! Then again, Mr. Robinson, you must be afflicted with a short memory. When you were President of the famous "Gin mill," we suppose you want the public to now believe that you were engaged in moral uplift work. Is the Keystone you as bad? "Gin mill" was then. What about the gambling, dekenness and murder—nonmitted there! You were president, know all of this, and you are a member of St. Paul Church and its Steward Face of forgiveness we will now, remove the mask. You are a professed Christian. Remember the emphasis is on professed, and a member of St. Paul. This the public knows, but is it not a fact you do not like the minister and for this reason you are trying to discredit its officers, and when you misrepresent the truth about some of the officers of the church, put words in their mouths they have never uttered, are you not defusing the church and its minister!

Some of those having part in some baird fair to become stars in the future. "The Rev. J. W. Carry offered prayer. Prof. E. L. Anthony, the principal, made a strong talk on Tardiness. He told his audience that there was more tardiness in the school this year than there had been in five years and unless the parents start the children to school more early there would be a wholesale cutting off and some of the children are near the nursing point. He also told them of the advance time by Congress which means early to bed, early to rise and early to school. From the actions of some of the grown ups in church and other public places it looks as if they must be of that tardy class. They do not seem to be interested in anything but drawing attention to themselves by laughing, loud talking and looking back at the door. These angentmanlike and unadhilic actions would cause persons to think that their department at schools must have been below zero. The entertainment event was a grand success.

APROPOS OF COMING POLITICAL ACTIVITIES. The war has brought the Negro to the place where he is very ant to practice what Lincoln had in mind when he gave expression to the truism. "You can fool all the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people, all the time." The Negro has been forgiving toward those who have abused him and spitefully used him; he has practiced the Divine teaching to its fullest so far as turning the other cheek when smitten on one. It is too much though to expect him to plod this hard road indefinitely, in view of the war cry which has reached to the farthest corners of the land to make the world safe for democracy. He has reached the place in his development where he demands to be given honest treatment by those who lay claim to his friendship. "Even a worm will turn when trod upon," and no less can be expected of him Certain things have taken place within the last two weeks which show the undoubted turn the thinking Negro is taking in St. Louis. He wants a larger voice in civic affairs; the stepping stone is a greater measure of political power, both through appointive and elective positions. Many instances could be cited where he would be justified in claiming he was betrayed in the house of his friends. The trend of the times is for fairness; every card played above board and no jokers in the deck. Those who in the past have successfully played with his credulity had best beware, for he is no longer the helpless child of previous years, but a man grown to normal size, and fully cognizant of his strength. He has the man power to closely discriminate between flattering promises of those who would use him for gain and those who actually wish him to advance. No one is more grateful to true and tried friends and none is more resentful toward deceitful enemies hiding in sheep's clothing. As the coming campaign draws near and the warming up process begins to show itself it would be well for the various candidates to guard against making promises indiscriminately (promises which they have no intention of fulfilling.) because the Negro voter is not the food he is thought to be and is apt to resent such attempted insult to his intelligence. NEGROES PLACED LAST AS USUAL In Monday's issue of one of the dailies there appeared an article headed "St. Louis' Quota In Third Loan Is $39,107,350." The last paragraph of the article dealing with the festivities connected with the launching of the loan read: "The parade will consist of four divisions. First, military; second, war activities; third, uniformed ranks of fraternal orders; fourth, labor, civic, commercial and social organizations and negroes." The familiar shing about the arrangements and the press mention of it is the fact the Negroes are placed last in such an insignificant notice that the small "n" is used. The Colored people of St. Louis and the nation are doing their full share toward carrying the war to a successful conclusion and would do more if those who would sentiment affecting the race would be more brotherly in their consideration of us and give us encouragement for deeds counted worthy in others. We have our women who aid the Red Cross activities; their place is, with that division; we have a branch of the National Council of Defense. They should be placed among those classed in the war activities branch. We have our uniformed companies who have supplied men for the National Army; they should be classed above the color line. And so on down the line. The thinking people of this country should cease to regard color as a badge of manhood, womanhood or relative measurement for racial attainments. The sooner we all forget these little slurs which so often are cast toward one another the sooner will the strength of the Nation assert itself in its might and strike blows which will down Prussianism and make the world one in which Democratic people can realize Democratic ideals.

METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH GIVES TO ITS POPUL- LAR PASTOR A 5-PASSENGER OLDSMOBILE TOURING CAR. Last Sunday morning the great Metropolitan A. M. E. Church was the scene of one of the greatest crowds of enthusiastic worshipers St. Louis has ever witnessed. The people gathered in great throngs from every part of the city. Even before the sermon began the church was taxed its utertermest capacity and people stood all around the walls. Such scrambling and-pushing one seldom sees in a religious service. They packed the vestibules and every door was jammed, upstairs and downstairs. The ladies and gentlemen's parleurs were crowded; people stood and sat on the steps and across the street were great crowds of people anxious to hear the Easter sermon that was to be delivered by their matchless pulpit orator, the great enthusiastic and soul-stirring preacher, Dr. B. G. Shaw. At the appointed hour, the Rev. Dr. B. G. Shaw arose and announced his subject. After a few brief preliminaries he entered into the discussion as to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Dr. Shaw never appeared to a greater advantage. He swept that great audience as if it were a reed shaken by a mighty wind. It was a real Easter morning of rejoicing. Load deflations of praise were heard throughout the entire building. Saints shouting, sinners were being converted and backsliders were returning back to the fold. wonder Bein way o'er then p minds hearts this essence hearts bearing schola A n finemest plea. W Dr. Shaw preached perhaps as he has not breached in all of his life. The most vivid scene and pathetic language were depicted and seen when he goes to the little sepulchre that had been built before the altar to represent Joseph's new tomb, and when the white linen cloth and the napkins were removed he drew the picture of the anxious disciples as they gathered around the tomb in the early morning to see whether the Son of God had kept His word, in that He would arise. The sympathetic picture of the Virgin Mary, as she stood looking in the empty tomb and then of the bright shining angels that stood lighting the sepulcher, with their resplendent glory of heaven. They said, "Ear not, He is not here; He is risen as He said." The elkman was reached when Jesus was then found in the hearts of all the people, who believed on His name. At the close of this wonderful service the congregation assembled in the front of the church on the Garrison avenue side and there stood a fire passenger Oldmobile touring car. The chairmen of the Trustee and Seward's Boards, Messrs. T. A. Brewer and C. M. Moore, and Prof. Frank L. Williams of Summer High School, each made ringing speeches as to the worth of Dr. Shaw, setting forth that he had wrought so wondrously for the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, and for the business and professional men of St. Louis, and also for the public in general, they thought it quite befitting that a substantial token of appreciation might be given him. Dr. Shaw stood in the car and listened with much delight to the speeches made concerning his work. Messrs Moore and Brewer said the work done would be some little time to Explain the noble deeds and great achievements that had been done and accomplished by their pastor. Prof. Frank L. Williams said he quite agreed with them, and that if the work for the church and humanity and the various things for racial uplift were told that had been accomplished by Dr. Shaw, that they might have been talked until the going down of the sun. Dr. Shaw responded in a very beating way, dedicating his life new for a greater service to the people of Metropolitan Church and, to St. Louis in general. ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH Easter Services, at Antioch Baptist Church, were, well attended Sunday. Special program was rendered at morning and evening services of the church and also at the Sunday school and B. Y. P. L. services.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH "He is not here; for He is risen, as he said." Matt. 28:14 was the text from which a masterful and powerful sermon was preached by Pastor Maxwell Sunday morning. Standing room was at a premium and the vast crowd was captivated and inspired with a very beautiful Easter discourse. In the afternoon, we were joyfully surprised when just as we were about to depart for our homes and elsewhere, Rev. Clemens of Semple Avenue Baptist Church and his good people came down announced and brought $30.00 which was contributed after a splendid sermon by Easter Clemens. God bless you Bro. Clemens. Come again! First Baptist, B. Y. P. U., Mrs. Irene Maxwell, President, turned over to the building fund $80.00, most of which was generated from the cantata.

OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH 1429 North Twelfth Street. Easter Sunday was one of lofty and holy calm, as celebrated here on last Sunday. The Spirit of Christ hovered over the vast throng of worshipers and all worldiness and frivolities were things of the past. The Sunday School pupils excelled themselves in song and verse to a risen Savior. Pastor Morris preached as never before from Matt. 28:6: "He is not here, for He is risen," as he said: "Gone see the place where the Lord lay." "Tis not in mortal to describe the serion left the hearts of all alive and glowing with Christ's love. Our hearts had been prepared for this great occasion for three weeks. Rev. J. W. Gaines had labored valiantly and nightly the church was electrified by this wonderful apostle.

Not much change in temperature. the Pythian Auditorium Thursday evening, with the United Phondelma and Bachelor Girls' Clubs as hostesses. The past week was one of the fullest socially, being marked with balls, club entertainments and the like; this activity, being the most conspicuous among them. The Campbell Orchestra wasn't its best, feeling that it must play an even more important part in the social life than it has heretofore, that it may for the moment divert the mind from the present effect of war. The effect was shown in the many encores. The orchestra's usual semi-view in palms was omitted, leaving every effort of stress determination in plain view. In fact the decorations were quite in keeping with wartimes. Dingly refreshments were served and a large number of the leading belles, beaux, young married set, and the no longer so young, enjoyed the hospitality of these popular hostesses and echoes of the event will go forth in the interest of the next affair.

The St. Louis Medical Society (white) pledged itself: FIRST: to wage eternal warfare against "quack" white doctors; who incessantly prey upon Colored people, under the damaging camouflage of a outrage few. The most enigmatic white physicians of the city were unanimous in their opinion that the class of white physicians who confine their practice to Colored people could not, by reason of their incompetence, succeed should they confine their pernicious activities to white people.

A matter which should command the attention of every man or woman who is a member of any secret organization or society, is the unrestricted and disgrueful manner of the selection of persons to serve in the capacity of executives, to a lodge of society, when such persons are so strikingly disqualified for any official chamber, or to hold on to whatsoever, where the knowledge of business principles is required, and is so essential for the success and benefit of an organization. THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR EASTER SERVICE The United, Commanderies of St. Louis hold their annual Easter Services at St. Paul A. M.-E. Church last Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. The general committee of which Sir George W. Brown was chairman, deserves special commendation for their perfect arrangement of the entire affair and especially the program which was masterly handled by Master of Ceremonies Sir G. Washington Lewis, aly supported by Sir J. T. Cannon, whose eloquent response to the welcome address, by Mr. W. E. Osborne, was the oratorical climax of the program. The history of knighthood by Sir E. J. Victoria, Jx, was another inspiring paper ably rendered. If there was ever a prelate and a real Easter Service knightly conducted, the public gaw one in the person of Sir Washington A. Ashley, E. G. P. of the U. G. C. of Missouri, assisted by Sir George Boonefield, P. G. H. P. of Missouri. It was the exemplification of the true Christianity and the sublime principles of that Knightly Order. Sir W. R. Johnson, D.J. preached the annual sermon and it was full of knightly and wholesome lessons. The address of Kf: E. G. Commander W. G. Mosley of Kansas City, was an oratorical effort indied; and each Sir knight present was not only proud of himself, but that he belonged to the order of Knights Templar. To describe it in brief, a grander display has not been witnessed by the public in the history of the order. Sir L. H. Bradbury, district deputy of the first district of Missouri, deserves the credit for the beautiful line up and the number of swords opt on this memorable occasion.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR There are so many so called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp, be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Sueby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get the best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasadap.

GOLDEN TEXT-If the son therefore shall-make you free, ye shall be free indeed-John 8:36. DEVOTIONAL READING -Psa. 72:1-17 ADDITIONAL MATERIAL — FOR TEACHERS—Mast. 15:1-31 II Cor. 3:17, 18; Gal. 6:1-25. PRIMARY AND JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus and the deaf man: MEMORY VERSE—He*hath done all things weth, he makes even the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak—Mark T37. JOBS AND ADULT TOPIC-Christian liberty. This lesson deals with the last of those four events which mark the crisis in the life of our Lord at Capernaum. It occurred just before the third period of his Galleean ministry and the time of his final departure for Jerusalem. We have seen what the attitude of Jesus was toward the law of his nation. In this lesson we see his attitude toward the rabbinical traditions of the people which were the opinions of men and not the law of God. Just so many today look upon the forms and ceremonies of the church as being verily the law of God. Moreover, these traditions were made a pretext whereby men evaded the law. So today we find men very religious and punctilious in their churchly duties, who fail miserably in their application of the moral code to conduct. The analysis falls into four general divisions: One, the accusation, (vv. 1.5; two, the answer, (vv. 6-13); three, the application, (vv. 14-23); and four, the illustration, (vv. 24-37). 1. The Accusation. (vv. 1-5). The growing hatred of the Pharisees, led them to make long journeys from Jerusalem that they might spy on Jesus and find a pretext for accusation. While they were studying him, they revealed their ideas of the kingdom of God. They took special notice that the disciples of Jesus ate without washing their hands. We must not understand this to mean so much the removal of defilement, as the neglect of a ceremonial observance over which the Pharisees were punctilous. (vv. 3, 4). Verses three and four illuminate certain traditions to which the Jews fathered tenaciously. Thus exemplified we can see that their ideas of man's relation to God were largely a matter of external ceremony. Purity to them was an outward matter largely governed by the traditions of men. (vv. 4). 11. The Answer (v. 6-13). The anwer of Jesus reveals the very opposite ideal. He begins by calling the Pharisees hypocrites. A hypocrite is a play-actor—one who hides behind a mask. Applying the prophecy of Isaiah, Jesus plainly tells the Pharisees that they are hiding their true character behind the mask of ceremonial cleansing. Such play acting is but a poor imitation of the real heart condition demanded of God, Psa. 51:20. Their hearts were far from God, even though with their lips they professed to serve him. The love we express to God consists not in ritualistic worship, but in doing his will from the heart. 111. The Application, (v. 14:23). Jesus takes advantage of this discussion, and, turning to the multitude, upon whom the Pharisees would bind a grievous burden of ceremonialism and falsehood (Matt. 23:4), warns them that it is not so much that which enters into a man that defiles him, as that which issues from him (v. 15). It seems quite natural that in their perplexity the disciples should ask Jesus what he meant by that. In his reply, (vv. 18:23), Jesus shows very clearly that "the issues of life" (Prov. 4:23), reveal the corruption which is within. (See Matt. 12:34, 35; Gen. 6:5; James 3:10:12). If the heart be not cleansed, what will it avail if we wash the hands? What then is the application for this present day? Clearly we are taught the danger of lip service without a change of heart. Substituting good for the best is sin. Forms and ceremonies are good and have their place; they are significant for they are important teaching factors; but they must not be substituted for a pure heart. We must beware lest we hide behind such a mask. There is here also plaint teaching as to Jesus' estimate of the Pentateuch and inferentially of the prophecy of Isaiah. He specifically calls it "the Word of God." Surely we can accept his estimate as contrasted with the tradition of the elders or the "consensus of modern thought." Less talk and more walk; Less wishing and more doing; Less preaching and more practicing; Less organization and more of the spirit. Finally, we have two illustrations as to how Jesus sets men free. (a) Jesus' silence appears to deepen faith in the pleading Syrophenician woman (v. 24-30). (b) We have the cure of the deaf and the dumb man. (vv. 31-37); instantaneous healing, showing divine power. Jesus was setting his people free from their bodily infirmities and at the same time delivering them from their sins and imperfections and bringing them into his spiritual Kingdom. This he is still doing. Announcement Announcement Madam Bettie Ernest HARRY BOWMAN. Prop. Cigars, Cigarettes and Tobaccos Soft Drinks. All Leading Colored Newspapers "CRISIS," Mgr. Shoe Shining Dept.

The trouble grew out of the criticism leveled against Martin by West because he would not permit the girls in the dormitory at the institute to borrow saurcers last night to serve ice cream in their rooms. Martin says that West came to the kitchen and asked him if he had refused to permit two of the girls to get saurcers there. He told West that he had a hard time getting them back at a previous time and they would not have them. West left, and anticipating another visit, Martin took the revolver off the shelf in his room and placed it in his pocket. West did return in a few minutes and started to criticize Martin. Martin claims that West stepped toward him and around a table. As he did so Martin pulled the revolver and fired. West, dodged behind a thin board partition and Martin continued to fire, emptying the pistol through the partition. At least three shots took effect. In West's body and after running a few feet he fell to the floor. West did not draw a gun, and it was not believed he had one until an employee of the undertaking establishment claimed to have found one on his body Saturday morning. Martin was arraigned and released, on $3,000 bond. West was 37 years old, was born in St. Louis, had lived in Jefferson City 25 years.

J. W. Kinghorne of the federal department of agriculture is in charge of the middle Western states in the government's nationwide campaign to stimulate poultry production, with headquarters in Chicago. In an interview Mr. Kinghorne made the following statement outlining the nation's needs and the big aid city and suburban dwellers can give in supplying them. "In hundreds of ammunition plants in various parts of our country skilled mechanics are working day and night, turning out shells to pave the way for democracy. "Contrast this with the possibility of every city and suburban family that has the available ground establishing another form of munition plant to produce shells filled with a most valuable and nutritious food. In other words, producing eggs. "The part that the American hen can play in winning this war can be materially increased by the establishment of thousands of backyard poultry plants all over the country. That "food will win the war" is brought before our attention easily, and the reason why food can also play such an important part is because it is just as necessary and important as ammunition to obtain ultimate victory. "That poultry and eggs can be produced more quickly and by a larger number of people than any other form of animal food is the all-important reason why Uncle Sam is making a rational effort and a strong appeal to every city and suburban dweller to produce poultry, and especially eggs. "The equipment for such an enterprise heed not be large or costly. A lot 25x30-feet is ample to accommodate a flock of twelve to twenty-five hens, which should produce sufficient eggs for the average family. By building a simply constructed poultry house out of dry goods or piano boxes, and supplementing the regular feeds with table scraps, eggs can be produced at but little cost. Thus the backyard flock will not only help in reducing the cost of litting and make possible strictly fresh eggs, but at the same time it will fill a national need as a source of OUR SPECIAL SERIAL ATTRACTIONS MONDAY "PRICE OF POLLY" Featuring Ruth Roland TUESDAY "THE SON OF DEMOCRACY" Featuring the Life of Abraham Lincoln Admission R LE LE'S EYE" NEW COMET THEATRE Sunday, April 7 Jewel Production presents Herbert Rawlinson in the great 7-reel detective mystery "COME THROUGH" With an all Star cast, including Roy Stewart, the Triangle Star; also Comedies Monday, April 8 George Kline presents the great myst- tery photoplay of New York's Chinatown, "THE CURSE OF IKU" in 7 parts also the "Comet Screen Telegram" Tuesday, April 9 Wm.
