SCOTT HIGHLY HONORED BY ST. LOUISANS Special Assistant To Secretary Of War Makes Several Speeches In Day's Stay Here, Under Auspices of Y. M. C. A. And Negro Business League. Says He Is Not An Apologist For the War Department, and If Democracy Is Not A Sham And A Hypocracy It Must Be For The Negro As Well As The White Man. VOL. VII. NO. Hon. Emmet J. Scott, Assistant Secretary of War, arrived in St. Louis at 7:30 Wednesday morning, May 5, and departed at 11:30 p.m., for Indianapolis. Upon his arrival, he was immediately ushered to the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, 3100 Pine Street, where he was greeted by a number of business and professional men of the city. After breakfast, which was served in the beautiful dining room at Poro College, a committee from the local Negro Business League, announced a parade in which twenty-five automobiles were ready for a big demonstration. The business and residential districts were traversed in double quick time; and a trip through the parks was also included. At 11 o'clock a hurry-up call came from Summer High School, that the pupils were anxious to see Mr. Scott and luncheon had been prepared for their guest and party. In the special party were: Anion E. Malone, president of the Negro Business League; Major William H. Butler, David D. Jones, secretary Young Men's Christian Association; C. K. Robinson, editor of the Charion and J. E. Mitchell. Patriotic songs and an address by Mr. Scott were other features at the high school, which was followed by a visit to Simmons, Banneker, Dumas and L'Ouverture schools. Patriotism ran high at Simmons school, each child waving a flag, while patriotic songs were sung. Principal R. H. Cole seemed never as happy as he was on this occasion, while Mr. Scott seemed equally as well pleased. A fair size and representative adjudice had a heart to heart conference with Secretary Scott at the Public Library at 4 p.m. The gathering was under the auspices of the Colored Women's Unit of the Council of National Defense. Mr. Scott told his hearers that "Women will win the war." He also stated that 300,000 women were wanted now to take up agricultural work. He affirmed his confidence in the good intentions of this government toward the Negro, and said democracy would mean the same, to all people. Others who talked were, J. Weldon Johnson, field agent N. A. A. C. P.; Mrs. Maurice Lowenstein of the Suffrage League; Miss Jackson of Providence R. I., secretary of the National Colored Y. W. C. A.; Mrs. Kate Kindey, industrial secretary White Y. W. C. A.; Rev. Clark, All Saints Church and Lieut. Dr. W. R. Arthur of Lovejoy, Ill. Dinner at Y. W. C. A. More than a hundred guests attended the dinner in honor of Mr. Scott, 'at the Y, W, C: A., at 5:30. Patriotic three minute talks were made by speakers representing various organizations. Secretary Scott spoke in rather a humorous vein, but in all seriousness he closed his remarks by saying, "If democracy is not 'as sham, a fraud and a hypocrisy it has got to be for the Negro as well as the white man." At the Central The crowning event of the day's program was the big meeting at Central Baptist Church at 8 p.m. The special auditorium was crowded to standing room and for one hour and a quarter the audience listened attentively to the distinguished secretary as he spoke on "The Negro In The War." "I know of no auspices under which I would rather come to your city, than that of the Y. M. C. A. There is not a single camp in this country or across the seas where the Y. M. C. A. is not represented. It is the Y. M. C. A. that welcomes the soldier boy, and tells him that he has a friend. "Your country, and my country has joined hands to make this world safe for democracy. We are face to face with the flag. The national emergency and great need is, the country is expecting every man, woman and child to do his bit. We are engaged in the greatest war of all ages and the country is faced, with the greatest crisis of all its history. If we must accomplish our purpose, the North and South, East and West must give up their sectional feelings. A man's creed nor color of his skin should not be counted. "I should regard it an honor to come to St. Louis at any time; but especially at this time when civilization is toterting to its doom. The Colored people who have come up under adverse conditions are better prepared to fight for democracy than any other race. I am not here to review the period of the reconstruction days, when injustices and all forms of atrocities were committed. I have but one The St. Louis Argus thought, and that is, may our country live forever. **Negroes Not a Liability** "There are twelve million and more of us in this country, we are an asset and we are not a liability. Opportunities go hand in hand and not behind. We have been seeking in every part of this country to prove our fitness to civilization. Now, we must fight for it, and heed the advice of Booker Washington, who said: 'Freedom is not a bequest but a conquest.'" **U. S. Counting On The Negro** "I say advisedly, the War Department is counting on our race as never before. They know that Negroes are eager and willing to be used in defense of this country, and it is the purpose of the War Department to see it that a square deal is given every man who is willing to shed his blood for his country. I know that is the spirit of the War Department and I know that is the spirit of the President of the United States. Never before have 1,000 Colored men been asked to serve as officers and represent the United States army. There is to be a battalion of signal corps men, which has never been before. Colored men are being trained in Washington and Virginia for that service. There will be a Colored chaplain in the army for every 1,200 men. Beginning May 13, three artillery regiments will go in training at Camp Mead, Md., and of twelve technical schools, each is to receive $6,000 for the training of telegraphers and radio men for service. Black Jack May Save the Jewel of Black Race May Save the Jewel of Human Liberty "This was is calling for scientific training, and our schools are responding, so that our boys won't be found wanting. I am confident that wherever they go they will quit themselves like men. They will remember that they are on trial. Thank God, they are on trial as far as their race is concerned. It can be said of us that there is not the slightest suspicion whatever, as to whether there are any traitors among us; for they have already proven their loyalty. They have smashed the old lie that Negroes won't serve under officers of their own race. They will serve as soldiers and citizens, knowing that justice and right, must prevail. Who knows but that the words of Abraham Lincoln may yet be, true, that the men of the black race will save the jewel of human liberty" Not an Apologist "I am serving as a special assistant to the Secretary of the War Department, and under no circumstances a mere apologist of that department. The Negro people ask no special favors; they deserve no special favors. All we ask is equal right and opportunities. We need the white people of the United States and thank God they need us. We shall give America our loyal service and Amorpha should give the millions of our race her protection and care. "The year has been notable for racial cooperation. Out of the turmoil of the war may come an everlasting peace and universal brotherhood." "The duty of those who are not to bear arms is to give liberally of their substance to those who are across the seas, if need be to make the supreme sacrifice." We must put self behind us. Democracy Will Include Colored "In a very real sense we are citizens of this republic and autocracy shall be detrished. No one can make use feel, as we go out in this great international conflict to make the world safe for democracy, and to make democracy safe for the world, that within in the triumphant folds of democracy, when it has been achieved for the men of Servia and Rumania, France, Russia and England, and even for the men of Germany, there are not also to be included the men of America—the black no less than the white." WHITE MAN MAKES FIRST ST. LOUIS CONTRIBUTION TO COMFORT COMMITTEE WHITE MAN MAKES FIRST ST. LOUIS CONTRIBUTION TO COMFORT COMMITTEE The following telegram has been received by the St. Louis Argus. Washington, D. C. May 7. Publisher, St. Louis Argus. The first contribution received here by the National Colored Soldiers Comfort Committee, from St. Louis was received today from George O. Carpenter, 12 Portland Place. It was for $25. George O. Carpenter is a white man, and is connected with the National Lead Company, with headquarters in the International Life Building. Published In The Interest Of Colored People THE GOVERNMENT APPOINTS NEGRO LABOR DIRECTOR THE GOVERNMENT APPOINTS NEGRO LABOR DIRECTOR Washington, May 3, 1918—Prof. George Edmund Haynes, recently appointed Director of Negro Economies in the Department of Labor, by Secretary of Labor W. B. Wilson, entered upon his official duties on May 1. He will act as advisor to the Department of Labor on all questions affecting the Negro race. Dr. Haynes is Professor of Economics and Sociology at Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee, and one of the Executives of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. He is unusually well qualified by reason of his wide experience to advise upon all matters concerning Negro labor problems. The appointment of Dr. Haynes was made as a result of a request by many influential Negro organizations, prominent among which were the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The movement started when a delegation representing many organizations waited upon the Advisory Council to the Secretary of Labor when the Council was formulating plans for the reorganization of the department. It was reorganized by the members of the Advisory Council that the millions of Negro wage earners who had hitherto been without organization were entitled to a seat at the council table. A favorable recommendation was accordingly made to Secretary Wilson and approved by him. After a careful survey of the field and the consideration of the merits of various Negro leaders and numerous consultations with those in touch with Negro affaies, Dr. Haynes was chosen to carry on this work. THE BOOSTERS TO SEND BOYS AWAY WITH A SMILE THE BOOSTERS TO SEND BOYS AWAY WITH A SMILE The Boosters, the well known patriotic organization that is constantly working in the interest of our Colored boys who are called to war, are preparing a stupendous send-off and patriotic celebration for the boys who are leaving between May 25th and 30th. It is expected that several of the hustling members of the Boosters will be in this call. Treasurer Chas A. Mills through the secretary, W. Silas Fearance, appeals to all Boosters to report at headquarters and get in line for the celebration which is designed to be the best effort the club has made in this way. Funds Rapidly Growing The fund for this celebration is rapidly growing and the preparations for two bands and other features are near completion. Mr. W. Garfield Rogers and Secretary W. Silas Fearance are authorized to collect funds 401 for this celebration-from all Boosters. Don't forget that this going away to war is a serious business, and we Boosters must do all in our power to send our boys away with a smile. The call is issued and all Boosters are expected to call at headquarters, get full particulars and get in line for this, the greatest effort the club has made for smiles. A very important part of the work of the Colored Women's Unit-Council of National Defense, is now launched in St. Louis. Our soldier boys are in dire need of our love, kindness and cheerful co-operation. We are asking for all kinds of books, magazines, daily papers, photographs, women's pictures, popular comics and sporting goods, all kinds of games, music, musical instruments, athletic supplies. Therefore, I urge you, whenever possible, to send some to our executive office, 249 N. Jefferson Ave. For further information communicate with Madam Jess, Chairman of Library Committee, 1807a Goode Ave., Lindell 3607-8. METROPOLITAN CHURCH Last Sunday was a remarkable day at Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church. The Bishop W. L. Lee of Brooklyn, N. Y., preached morning and evening. Ench sermon was well prepared and most eloquently delivered. His lecture Night night was a masterpiece. All enjoyed the presence of the distinguished visitor. Bishop I. W. Kyles, the Presiding Bishop of the district was present, and introduced in well chosen words the visiting Bishop. Prof. J. W. Martin was also present. These two Bishops and General Officers made it a very brilliant day for Metropolitan. The Sunday school is doing excellent work. Dr. Shaw will continue his series of sermons this Sunday from the all important subject, "THE KAISER OF GERMANY LIKENED TO THE PHARAOHS OF EGYPT." A vivid picture will be shown Sunday in the Doctor's argument, in contrast with the time of the Pharaohs, as with that of the Kaiser. Everybody is cordially invited to attend the services during this series of sermons. Dr. Shaw will preach morning and evening. ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1918 K. OF P'S MAKING STATE-WIDE DRIVE FOR1000 MEMBERS Local Lodges Rapidly Full Quota As Men In All Walks Of Life Hasten To Join GRAND CHANCELLOR LOYD IN KANSAS CITY WORKING HARD The day has at last arrived when men are beginning to look around them for the most solid lining place, before they jump. That the Knights of Pythias Organization has demonstrated that the Order is a safe landing to cold facts when he is shown the results of the recent membership drive. Standing like the rock of Gibraltar, the Knights of Pythias are measuring up to every item of promise, comprising with every law of the commonwealth and like good wine, it is growing better with age. Men are realizing all of these important features and are casting their fraternal future willingly into the keeping of the Pythian brotherhood. All of the local lodges have opened their doors to this unprecedented index of new members and Pythian Temple Building at 3137 Pine St. is the nightly mecca of men who are seeking to protect the future, their families from the ravages of poverty and destitution. Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd, who is at present in Kansas City, is giving his personal supervision to the membership campaign in that city, and his daily reports show that the work is at fever heat in the city by the Kaw and in the immediate vicinity. The coming Grand Lodge Session which will be held in Sedalia, Mo., will in all probability outstrip all former sessions in point of attendance as well as attention and the committee which has charge of the Sedalia meeting is making preparations to entertain the cream of Missouri's citizens in July. A marked feature of the membership campaign, was the excellent attendance of the members of Pride of Missouri Lodge, which was set up two weeks ago, and which held their first regular meeting Friday night, May 3rd. Sixty-six members out of a total membership of seventy-five were present. The healthy condition of the Finance Department of the Grand Lodge K. of P. merits favorable mention, and the quarterly collections for the last quarter show a phenomenal increase financially and numerically. The report of the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal shows an aggregate total collection for, the last quarter of eight thousand dollars. The above figures show at a glance that the Knights of Pythias in Missouri is both a financial and numerical stronghold, and will not be found wanting when weighed in the balance with other fraternal bodies. With lodges in almost every town and hamlet in the United States and foreign countries, every man who becomes a Knight, Pythian, will find himself at home wherever he happens to go. Lodges in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, will welcome the American Pythian with as much brotherly love as the lodges in Missouri or Illinois. TAKE DUE NOTICE MASTER MASONS TAKE DUE NOTICE MASTER MASONS All Master Masons of the various lodges of St. Louis and vicinity are hereby notified to present themselves at their Masonic Temple 3619 Easton Ave., Sunday, May 19, at one o'clock in the afternoon, and march to the Orphans' Home, 4326 Natural Bridge Road, to participate in the annual celebration of that institution. J. L. Henderson, District Deputy Grand Master, (5-10-2) W. W. Fields, Grand Master of the State of Missouri, A. F. & A. M. will visit the lodges of St. Louis and vicinity on May 13, 14, 15. The various lodges anticipate his coming with much interest. A. B. GREEN ANSWERS MRS. PATTON The article which appeared in the St. Louis Argus and St. Louis Clarion April 20th and 27th, which read as follows: "Mrs. Cepia Patton, 6341 Wagner Ave, fled suit in the county court at Clayton Mo. some time ago against A. B. Green and wife, Pauline R. Green, to recover two feet, of ground on the east side of her lot. Mrs Patton sued for $300. A few days ago the decision was handed down in favor of the plaintiff, Mrs. Patton." The above statement is untrue and doubtless was written out of malice, to hurt the good name of myself and wife. We have never been called into court on any such case and therefore the statement of a judgment against us is absolutely false, as the records at Clayton Mo. will show. (Signed) A. B. Green JAS.W.JOHNSON SPEAKS SUNDAY C.M.E. CONFERENCE MASS MEETING AT GENERALSESSION UNION MEMORIAL AT CHICAGO, ILL. MONDAY EVENING Mr. Jas. Weldon Johnson, National Organizer of N. A. A. C. P. has been our guest since Wednesday, during which time he has addressed several Organizations upon the need of more members of the Association. Sunday morning at 11 a.m., Mr. Johnson will speak at St. James A. M. E. Church, 4300 St. Ferdinand, Rev. W. H. Peek, pastor. The Quadrennial Session of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church known as the General Conference, is now in our midst, and over one thousand delegates and visitors from nearly every state in the union are in attendance. St. Paul C. M. E. Church, a new structure costing $55,000, is not quite completed, so the sessions are being held at St. Marks M. E. Church. The address prepared and delivered by Bishop Charles Henry Phillips, of Nashville, Tenn., and president the Fourth Episcopal District, was a remarkable document and delivered with great force and power. It showed the progress of the church from its organization in 1870 till now. Starting with two bishops it now has eight, and once confined to the South, it is now nation wide, also doing missionary work in Africa. Facts and figures showed it so be the leading organization in the world of Color, in its annual collections for education. The messages pledged the support of the church in the great national crisis. It stood for prohibition, for a better prepared ministry, and a larger racial cooperation, generally. It was able, comprehensive and constructive. Leading Negroes from all over the country are there, among whom are Bishops L. H. Hobsey, R. A. Carter, R. S. Williams, Georgia; C. H. Phillips, N. C. Cleaves, Isaac Lane, E. Cottrell and M. F. Jumison, Texas. Some of the General Officers and other well known characters are Drs. J. W. Gilbert, J. A. Bray, J. H. Moore, J. W. McKinney and R. T. Brown. Some of the prominent laymen are Drs. Jasper Tappam Phillips, John Albert Lester of Nashville, Texas, R. C. Simmons of Kentucky and others. The Conference will be in session three or four weeks. BISHOP JAMISON STRICKEN As we go to press the news reaches St. Louis, which bishop M. F. Jumison, of Leigh, Texas, bishop of the Seventh Episcopal District, suffered a stroke of paralysis and is now confined in a local hospital. THE ARCHBISHOP IGNORES ISSUE IN N.A.A.C.P.LETTER THE ARCHBISHOP IGNORES ISSUE IN N.A.A.C.P.LETTER Archbishop Glennon, in an interview with a PostDispatch reporter side stepped the real issue in the "Open Letter," published by the Executive Committee of the N. A. A. C. P., in the Argus last week. The archbishop centered his reply on the idea that the Association was protesting against Father Walsh, informing Negroes, of his own faith, that they were not welcome in his church. The interview quotes him as saying: "We have a church for the Colored at Twenty-seventh and Pine Streets, together with a school and an orphanage," the Archbishop said. "But the Colored folks don't care much for their own church. They would rather mix in with the white congregation. "The Colored people seem to think that Catholic theology guarantees them a right to live and associate and marry and carry on a basis of social equality. It is impossible to overcome prejudices that have long existed." The Association has addressed another letter in denial of the above claim, and also denying that there was a gentleman's agreement on restricted residential lines, between the Association and the Archbishop. The Association protest is strictly on the assertion of Father Walsh that "Negroes were hovering over white people like airplanes over a battlefield," and his advice that hostile means be resorted to, to keep them out of the neighborhood of this church. INSTRUCTORS WANTED TO DEILL CLASS 1 COLORED MEN. W. Scott Hancock, chairman of the Selective Service Training Committee, has written to Major Wm H. Butter, to aid in securing the necessary number of capable instructors to drill all of the Clozard drafted men in Class I, preliminary to their going into the several contiments. Capable military instructors, who are willing to serve, should give their names, addresses and telephone numbers, to Major Butler, or to The Argus, so that they may be notified to appear in due course, before an examination board to pass on their qualifications. Major Butter's address is 3510 Cozens Ave. Sunday afternoon, May 12, he will be the principal speaker at a large mass-meeting at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, at 3 p.m. Let every one hear Mr. Johnson who is a distinguished author as well as a distinguished speaker. Rev. J. W. Day, Pres. Miss C. F. Wilkerson, See'y. MASS MEETING AT UNION MEMORIAL MONDAY EVENING A meeting has been called by the ministers and citizens of St. Louis at Union Memorial church for Monday evening, May 13, for the purpose of organizing a local branch to co-operate with the Equal Rights League of Boston by sending a delegation to Washington, D. C., to help present to the President and Congress the wishes of the Negro race in America. Those calling the meeting are: Reeva B. F. Abbott, A. R. Dobbins, W. P. Mitchell, J. W. Taylor, W. H. Huston, J. T. Caston, W. A. Venable, Wm Brock, H. H. Harris, W. H. Wheeler, W. C. Howell, M. Owens, J. D. Duke, P. W. Donavant, W. L. Waden, O. C. Maxwell, Geo. E. Stevens, B. G. Shaw, S. A. Moseley and W. B. Johnson, J. L. Caston temporary chairman; D. R. Clarke, secretary. JESSE J JOHNSON MAKES BIG HIT Jesse Johnson, the poplar dancing master made another big hit, after some of our prominent men had failed to secure an excursion steamer for this summer, and after having been turned down several times he was successful in securing the new excursion steamer "lakeenger." It is a spacious side wheel steamer as large as the former Grey Eagle and is considered the fastest excursion steamer on the Mississippi, and equipped with the finest and best dance floor. You will miss a treat if you don't attend, the first Grand Midnight outing of the season on this steamer, Monday evening, May 20, 1918. The Great Western Band will furnish music on this occasion. Orphan Home Day May Day at the Colleged Orphan's Museum, 4218 W. Natural Bridge, is always a gala event. The program for the thirteenth celebration, which comes May 17, promises to be far ahead of anything ever before carried out. Committees of ladies are working to have a large crowd out to the Home on the 19th to see improvements that have been made during the year and to enjoy a well-arranged program. Besides being painted entirely, a new furniture has been installed and the Home fixed in many ways. These improvements were made possible through the gifts of $200 from Mr. and Mrs. Aaron E. Maule and $200 secured from white friends by Mrs. W. M. McChesney. On the program for the day will be an address by Capt. Robert Byrd, the elegant and polished orator of Springfield, Ill. Capt. Byrd was formerly Captain of Company L. Eighth Illinois Infantry, and now secretary to the advisor of the Commonwealth of Illinois. The program will be made all the more attractive by prominent local talent and a drill by the little orphan children. The small fee of 10 cents which will be asked as an admission fee goes toward caring for the thirty little orphan who are inmates of the Home. AFRICAN TROOPS IN WAR Used Against Germans, They Display Great Bravery Paris, May 14, African colonials, which have been thrown into action against the advancing Germans, have conducted themselves with the most conspicuous bravery, according to the Petit Parsecen today. "For six days, four battalions of African Zouaves held black five German divisions, one of which was from the imperial guard," the dispatch stated. "Outflanked, the Zouaves, led by Battalion Commander Du Peuty, charged straight into the face of the German mitrallenses, Du Peuty, badly wounded, being assisted by two pods. All three fell before the murderous fire, but the Zouaves, cleared the positions, retaking lost ground. A Brother of Commander Du Peuty, acting as an observer was lost in the same engagement." HUSBAND WANTED I am desirous of a husband about 35 years of age who is not liable to be drafted. One who can appreciate a Christian woman and rejoiment. Must have executive ability and special standing. I am willing to exchange photographs. Will leave the state if a match is made. Addison. Myrtle Overstreet. 29 N.

The visit to our city by Hon. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, was very timely. If there has been any doubt as to the service he is rendering his government and his race, that has been removed. The people now fully appreciate his appointment and readily see why such character is needed by the government in the present crisis. A few minutes of contact with Mr. Scott is enough to convince the most skeptical that he is not an apologist for the government in any mistreatment of his race. On the other hand, he is decidedly wrapped in full sympathy with the hopes, fears and aspirations of our people. His attitude is an expression of our feelings, and he is in a position to speak and be heard. He is fearless and conscientious in his work.

He knows cannot send me too many blacks have a great significance. "You cannot send enough black men." That is the statement coming from General Pershing from across the sea, the commanding officer in charge of the American forces in France. That statement sounds the death knell on such men as Vardaman of Mississippi, who, when the war began, said: "This is a white man's war." Such utterance from the man of Mississippi, is an exhibition of his total ignorance of statesman-like knowledge and fifty years behind the times. Senator Vardaman might have been expressing the sentiment of the average American white man at that time; but, General Pershing knows that it will require more than mere sentiment to win the war. We are quite sure that the Senator from Mississippi pi was thinking of the spoils after the war, and was anxious about the part the white man is to get. He would now fix it so the Negro or the darker races would have no part in the spoils. But, doubtless he has forgotten that the war is yet to be won, and who knows whether or not the longest end of it has passed before us. Who dare venture prophesy with any degree of certainty, the cost that the nation must pay to win. The South is in the saddle at Washington. The men in charge of affairs are on trial. The future of the nation is in their hands. If such men as Vardam are allowed to hinder the success of our military and naval forces through prejudice, then the blood of the millions must be required at their hands. General Pershing is wise in calling the best fighting force in the American Army. He has seen the service of the black men in America, He knows their gallantry. He knows their patriotism. The words, "you cannot send me too many black men," are loud, are strong and have a great significance. HEAR BLACK BILLY SUNDAY The Roy Dr. Wilbanks, evangelist, of Washington, D.C., who is conducting a series of meetings at Mt. Zion Baptist church of this city, 2023 Morrigan street, has been very successful thus far. After four nights more than forty persons have hit the trail that they may be saved. He stated that he has the devil on the run, and all he wants now is to bring sinner whid he saved. Large crowds are expected during the coming week, as Dr. Wilbanks is called the "Black Billy Sunday." WALTERS INSTITUTE COMMENCE MENT (Special to the St. Louis Argus) Warren, Ark.—Walworth's institute of this city has just closed a most successful commencement. Miss Mary E. McDaniel of Blackwell, Ark. graduated from the Normal Department and eight persons were promoted to the High School. The jacacureal session was delivered at the County Court House by Dr. J. W. Martig, secretary of the Board of Education, of St. Louis, Mo. The commencement Address was delivered by Dr. W. E. Shaw, returned missionary from Quittah, Africa. Rev D. W. Blackwell of arity delivered the sermon to the Religious Societies. A committee consisting of Bishop L. W. Kyles, president of the Trustee Board, Dr. J. W. Martine and Principal Jas. W. Heilberger announced "during the Commencement that the institution would be rebuilt in Warren. Two of the buildings of the institution were recently lost by fire. A large attendance of the Medical Forum was out Tuesday night, and saw a very interesting, and complicated "heart case." All of the members present had their say and opinion concerning same.

This is the third time he makes this prediction. The circumstances are most tragic. 1. Jesus going to Jerusalem (v. 32). He was going with the full consciousness of the awful tragedy of the cross before him—the treachery of Judas, the fiery persecutions of the priests and serbes—the unjust judgment. 2. The disciples following after (v. 32). They were in dread bewilderment. His utterances and demeanor filled their minds with perplexity, and their hearts with awe. In this state of confusion, Jesus called them to him and patiently instructed them. 3. "What needs should happen unto him" (vv. 33-34). (1) "Delivered unto chief priests and scribes." (2) They shall condemn him to death, and deliver him to the Gentiles." (3) "They shall mock, scourge, spit upon, and kill him." (4) "The third day he shall rise again." 11. The Ambitious Request of James and John (vv. 35-45). 1. The request (vy. 35-37). It was for a place of prominence in the kingdom. According to Matthew, their mother was the intercessor. Mang mothers have been used by children to carry out that which they themselves ashamed to do. It is very desirable for mothers to get places for their children near to Jesus, but unfortunately many are seeking the pitmacles of the world and forgetting the nearness to Christ. 2. Jesus' reply (vy, 38-45). (1) To Peter and John (vy, 38-40). He speaks directly to the men, declaring that they knew not what they ask. The Lord many times has to reprove and rebuke us for our blind requests. He showed them that the way to this position of glory was through suffering. The cup which they were to drink was all that was embraced in the agony on the cross. He concedes that the positions which they craved were obtainable, but in a very different way from what they apprehended. The way to places in glory in the Kingdom of Christ is through the path of lowly, self-forgetful service. The ten were displeased with Peter and John, but doubtless they were not free from the same selfish ambitions. Christ showed them that to give is greater than to receive; that to serve is greater than to be served. The standard of his kingdom is to forget self and serve others, even to give one's life. Christ is the supreme example to be imitated by all who would follow him. Mt. Jesus Cures Bartimaeus of Blindness (vv. 40-52). Though the weight of the cross was upon him, he had time for gracious deeds. Blind Bartimaeus receives his sight. 1. Bartimaeus/ request (vv. 40, 47). He cried to Jesus for mercy. The fact that he addressed him as the Son of David, shows that he recognized his Messiahship. Though, he was blind, his faith enabled him to take hold of Jesus. As soon as he heard that Jesus was passing by he cried to him for help. Jesus not only can hear our cries, but he can even tell when a soul years after him, and will respond to that yearning. 2. Rebuked by the multitude (v. 48). This rebuke provoked a more earnest cry from Bartimaeus. He believed that Jesus could and would help him, and knew that it was, now or never with him. The fact that God has brought salvation within our reach should convince us that it is time for us to cry for help. Therefore, we should not allow the opposition of men to keep us from Christ. 3. The blessing granted (vv. 49-52). Though Jesus knew his desire, he wished him to definitely commit himself. God is pleased when we come to him with our definite needs. When his eyes were opened, he saw many interesting things, but the supreme object was Christ, for he followed him. Note experience of Bartimaeus: (3) Persistence in his cry (v. 49). (4) Responded to the call of Jesus (vv. 49, 50). (5) Made specific request (v. 51). (6) Received his sight immediately (v. 52). (7) He followed Jesus (v. 52). How quickly one can pass from sore need to sublubilate discipleship. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS One of the most brilliant social affairs that has taken place in St. Louis for some time was the marriage of Miss Florence Gregory, 2729 Lucas avenue, and Mr. W. H. Davis of Marnice place. The marriage was solemnized Tuesday, April 30, at 7 p.m. at the residence of the bride, in the presence of relatives of the contracting parties and a few friends. The bride was attended by Miss Birdie Real as bridesmaid and Miss Lizzie Chandler as maid of honor, and the Wife of Russell of Alton, Ill., cousins of the bride, were the ring bearer and flower girl. Misses Katie Cole, Lethin Taylor, Jessie He Heartfield and Mrs. Alberta Franklin carried the ribbon which surrounded the bridal party as they entered the room, marching to the strains of Sousa's "Wedding March," played by two little girls, 7 and 10 years old. The groom was attended by Mr. W. T. Spencer as best man and Mr. Aaron Jones as groomman. The wedding party was preceded by the little flower girl, who carried a bouquet of sweet peas, orange blossoms and honey suckles which she dropped along the path of the bridal party. Next was the ring bearer, who carried a beautiful Kimberly diamond wedding ring, a gift from the groom, suspended from patriotic baby ribbon. Love knots of baby ribbon of the national colors were suspended from the curls of the two little girls, thus harmonizing with the color scheme which was patriotic. After these came the groom, accompanied by the bridesmaid, then the best man, the groomsman and maid of honor. The bride entered bearing on the arm of her brother in law, Mr. Cole, who gave her away. The party was met at the altar by Rows, B. F. Abbott and George E. Stevens, both of whom assisted in the ceremony, which was somewhat novel as well as solemn. They alternately took part. Dr. Abbott interrogated the groom and Dr. Stevens the bride. The bride was stylishly gowned in an all-over silk net over white satin with a bodice of Chantilly lace. Her tuille veil was made in a coronet style and held to her head with a wreath of orange blossoms. Her jewelry was a diamond lavalier and the wedding ring. She carried a beautiful bouquet of bridal roses. The color scheme was red, white and blue. Miss Birdie Beal was bridesmaid and wore a beautiful white georgette crepe and carried a bouquet of white carnations. Miss, Mamie Chandler, the maid of honor, wore a lovely blue silk dress and carried a bouquet of red and white roses. The ribbon bearers wore beautiful and attractive gowns, which were touched up in patriotic colors to harmonize with the color scheme. The groom and his attendants wore the conventional garb usual for such occasions. The bridal party stood under a large electric shower, the lights of which were partially dimmed by a network of evergreen, orange blossoms, honey suckles and sweet peas, interwoven with red, white and blue ribbons, thus producing a most beautiful effect. Great credit is due Rev. H. H. Harris of the St. Louis Floral Company for the artistic manner in which the floral decorations were arranged. The reception was from 8 to 10 o'clock and was attended by 250 guests. Numbers of telegrams and long distance messages were received from out of town friends regretting their inability to be present. Argus reporters were present, but owing to lack of space cannot describe, the handsome evening, gown worn by the ladies. The sparkling of diamonds and the glare of the electric lights seemed to vie with each other in brilliance. During the reception music was furnished by the two little daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Edw. Levy of Garfield avenue. Little Miss Ednar, aged 10 years, presided at the piano, while little Miss Lucille, aged 7 years, played the violin. They were the center of attraction, and if they continue they bid fair to rival Paderewski and others. Service was furnished by the Zoeller Bros. Catering Co. under the direction of Mr. Ben Barrow, who deserves much credit for the able manner in which he handled the affair and the artistic manner in which the table was so beautifully arranged and decorated. Displayed on a side table was the large wedding cake, beautifully decorated, and in the center was a large wedding, bell tilted as though it was being rung. Individual boxes containing a piece of wedding cake were handed each guest as they left. This cake was made by Mrs. W. H. Davis Jr., 1721 Pendleton avenue, who is said to be one of the finest cake bakers in the city. The bride and groom were the recipients of many useful presents which were as follows: The gift from the groom to the bride was a warranty deed to a 30-foot lot in Marnice Place and one Liberty Loan bond. The out-of town friends who sent presents were: Mrs. M. L. Lacy, Chicago, blue table set; Mr. and Mrs. Joe E. Herriford, Kansas City, Mo. one large Turkish bathroom prog; Mrs. Ida Cross, sister of the bible, Detroit, Mich. one cut-glass ice tray and one cut-glass ice bowl; Mrs. Inez Davis Aldridge, niece of the groom Winona, Miss. cut-glass celery tray; Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Chinn, Glasgow, Mo. two hand-painted cake plates; Mrs. L. Jordan and Cordelia Wolffork, Frankfurt, Ky. silver fork; Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Booker, Liberty, Mo. bread tray. The following classified presents were received from guests in the city: Bed Linen - Mr. and Mrs. De Campbell, J. Russell, Wm. Russell, Miss A. K. Russell, Mrs. P. Russell, Mrs. M.

(4) 19-43 TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need A Real Scalp Food There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perumed 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. Seeby's Quinade's 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, smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get the best results, from the use of Quinasaop, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with sebic's Quinasaop. Quinasaop is made merely out of pure vegetable oils principally coconut oil, and sea thorny cleanser. Quinasaop lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and dull, and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but in not on getting Sueky's Quinadean, sueky's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Bring in 25 cents each if your druggies, or dealer, does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his whole saler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Sueky Bring Co., 70 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade- menting the name of this paper. Adv. Men-and women to sell J. and h cleaning soap.

CHURCH Old St. Paul was packed and jammed last Sunday morning as it has not been for some months past. They all knew that after three weeks rest they would be well paid for coming out, hence the large numbers. Dr. Johnson entered his pulpit right on time, selected for his text, First Corinthians, 3rd chapter and 13th verse. "And the fire shall try every man's work of whist sort it is." As we have said, the congregation was not disappointed and as they were swaded to and fro as he pointed out the trials and vicissitudes of the Patriarchs from the beginning up until the present time and showed the glorious results of those who stood the cruel test and was found to be pure gold. The pastor gave great stress on broken cows and on those who failed to keep their obligations to their fellowmen as well as to their God. The pictures he drew, together with the clear cut demonstrations was equal to any sermon he has delivered, since coming to this charge. His sermon Sunday night was short, though equally as strong. Twelve united with the church during the day. Monday night the officials were called to the special session and accepted the plans mapped out by the pastor for a financial effort ending June 30th, 1918. It was a pleasure to note that one of the vast number present, there was not a dissenting voice when the question was put about the effort mentioned. It all goes to show how well this good man has conducted himself since coming to our city. Through the efforts of Brother T. L. Couty and others, Hoh, C. M. White of Denver, Colo., Supreme Commander of the American Woodmen of the United States, was our honored guest. Mr. White is the leader of the largest fraternal organization in the United States. His address was well received. Strangers coming to the city would do well to visit St. Paul A. M. L. church Sunday morning. MTS. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH 1429, N.

It was because ney. Parrish presened such a brilliant sermon and filled the people's hearts with happiness. A large crowd greeted the speaker, as ney. Parrish is well known in Lane Tahernacle. Years ago he was a member of our Sunday school, and was once a teacher of the class now known as the Morning Star. He has made good in the ministry. The people love to hear him preach. There are two reasons ney. Parrish is a drawing card. He preaches the scripture, and refuses to praach dictatorial sermons. Of course his sermons are instructive and have a great spiritual application, but he absolutely refuses at any time to take the offensive. "And he was translated by God, that he might not see death," were the words of the text Sunday morning. Enoch was the momentous character in the well-prepared sermon. The speaker told the congregation that he would be happy to know that they could all live like Enoch who walked with God and accorded to heaven not having to even taste the bitterness of death. Although added the sermon, we might not ascend as we are, we can live such clean we will not be found winning. Faith was also a central figure in the speaker's sermon. He related the faith of Job, Nessh and Daniel; but at this juncture several of the members in the congregation began to give vent to their feelings and be drawn out the speaker's voice. "Heaven and earth are full of his glory," shouted ney. Parrish, who realizing at the time being that Lane Tahernacle was bubbling over at 6:30 Sunday evening, and at no clock preached from the subject "Transfiguration." The words of the sermon it is taken from the 9th verse of the 9th chapter of St. Mark, "Master it is good for us to be here, and let us make three Tahernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elms." Several new members were added Sunday evening and ney. Parrish said that the happiest moments of a minister's life was when he could get someone to come to Christ. ney. Parrish will speak Sunday morning and night. Come early and get good seats. The choir's excellent music Sunday evening helped the services greatly. "There is a Foundation Filled With Blood," she selection rendered when the invocation was extended, seemed to every with it a sweetness that affected the entire congregation, and had much to do with the new comers again yielding their souls to Christ. "The service flag in the room attracted much attention. The long star hung over the chair formerly occupied by Mr. Searey. Upon inquiry, it was found that it was the thoughtfulness of Mr. A. Hardford; the choir president. The Epworth League had an excellent meeting, Sunday evening. Mrs. Bell, the Devotional department president, had an excellent program. Mrs. Taylor regarded an exceedingly good soli' Mrs. Smith's paper on Progressive Christians was just fine. Miss Myrne the Copeland, the District President, after a trip over the Illinois portion of the district had quite an interesting story to tell.

You cannot see into the future, but we can want one of the probabilities of this business: The time is near at hand when a poor person cannot buy a piano. Raw material has already advanced 30 per cent on the dollar. The banks will not lend any more money to the factories. There is a shortage in pianos. Terms on pianos, after September 18, will be $50 down, $15 monthly every place you go. So I advise you to get in out of the rain. May is going to be our bargain month. We have 60 pianos on the floor, which we must move to make room for a new lot coming in. We will sell uprights from $50 up, players $275 up. Terms to suit anyone looking for a bargain.

Leffingwell, Ave., St. Louis, Mo. Dear Sir; Dear Sir; Permit me to thank your company for the promptness with which they delivered the Warranty Deed and Abstract of title to my lots in Idlewild, Mich., after I made my final payment. The payments were so easy that I have never even missed the money, and the treatment accorded me by your company has been most courteous, prompt and business-like, and I am proud to say that I now have an absolutely clear title to my lots, and I find that under the laws of Michigan the Register of Deeds is not permitted to record a deed to property on which there are any due and unpaid taxes, which is a great protection to the people. I cannot urge my friends too strongly, to avail themselves of the opportunity and secure lots in beautiful Idlewild at once. Wishing you every success and assuring you of my hearty co-operation I am, Yours very truly, Wm. H. Fields, National Grand Master A. U. K. & D. of A. Headquarters St. Louis, Mo.
