St. Louis Palladium

ST.LOUIS PALLADIUM Circulated Among 170 BISHOP A Special J.B. Eng Co. k. t. A Special Epistle. SUBJECT: "The Special Epistle to Our Baptist Churches and Ministers." the dir guide t I mean regular Baptists, or in other words, Missionary Baptists. I know there is no such church as a Missionary Baptist, but as it has been slightly used by some, I will use the word. I find in Luke, the Second Chapter and 46th verse, where Christ was found in the Temple asking and answering questions of the Lawyers and Doctors. It is a question by many, what did Christ say to the Lawyers and Doctors? He must have said to the Doctors: "How many doses of medicine do you give a patient to cure him?" That was a puzzle to the Doctor, and he could not answer it, but Christ answered it for him. He told him just how much medicine it would take to cure the patient. He said to the lawyer—in defending a case—"How many words should he use, and how should he use them in order that he might not lie." Christ told him how to use the words in arguing a case and how many words he should use. This was a puzzle to the lawyer, because the question was asked of his own profession. The above professional men did not get mad with Christ when he asked and answered His questions, because they were materially interested with Christ. Christ started the Lawyers and the Doctors to thinking. In this "Epistle" there are some things that I want to call the attention of our Baptist Churches and Ministers. I have traveled for a great many years; I have seen a great deal, and I have learned a great deal of the customs of our churches, and there is one thing I have specially noted in some places—where the churches would make a resolution that even the members could not vote in the church if they could not pay 25 cents a month, and they would not be allowed a voice, but should remain on the Dead Book. Now, Brethren, this is not Baptist Polity; it is more of a dog's spirit, or a hoggish action, and it is not warranted of God nor any of the inspired writers. The Bible is against such doctrine and practice. When you joined the Baptist Church you joined it for life, and discipline gives you all the rights and privileges of the Church, for money or no money. Christ's Church is a Divine institution; it is made up out of converted men and women, and has put on the whole armor in baptism. After this is done, the member has all the rights and privileges of that body or church as long as they should live in the world. So far as compellment of dues in a church, Christ has never ordered it in His law; that is man's invention. The Church and the Ministers should learn the true objects of the Church. We should be very careful how we deal with Christ's divine institution, for He has made a decree to His Church, and said "the very gates of hell shall not prevail against it." There is another thing I want to speak of in this "EPISTLE" to our Churches and Ministers. We all know that Baptist associations are composed principally of ministers, and ministers, as all know, will naturally work for themselves, but I believe it is a vital sin for messengers to publish a wrong thing. I am here to say that messengers have no power whatever over the Churches nor over the Ministers. They can not make any laws, for Christ has made all the laws that can be made. Therefore, brethren, it is wrong to try to blinfold the Church by denouncing Vol. XX. No.20 the directory, knowing that it is the guide for Baptist Churches and Ministers. When the new church directory has been voted on by each independent body or church, any member can go in and look in this book and see if he is right or wrong. There is another book in this "EPISTLE" that I want to call your attention to, and that is the Polity of the Baptist Church demands a Deacon Board to attend to her temporal business, yet some of our Ministers get very worried over the Deacons, when they know that the Church demands it. If you give the Church entirely to some Ministers you will have no buildings whatever. A minister that will sue a Church for back salary is an enemy to Christ, and ought not to receive the confidence of sister Churches. No Preacher ought to stay with a Church knowing that he is not wanted. In the conclusion of this "EPISTLE" I find that a great many newspapers and a great many Baptist universities who sail under name as Baptist organiz- izations, after investigating the matter, that they belong to individuals, and the Baptist Church should open her eyes on these lines and have the matter investigated, and they are levying taxes upon the Churches, which ought not to be. If a College is run and owned by the Baptist Church of any States, the Churches or independent body should demand a publication of all money collec- tived and expended, and what for. If a Baptist newspaper, the Church should find out the income and outgo of all moneys. But if the paper is sailing under the head of some individual and calling itself itself a Baptist paper, when it is not a Baptist paper, you would find a falsehood committed somewhere. Now here is a question I want to ask of you brethren in this "EPISTYLE." In order to make a University a legal University each independent body or Church should have a vote, and vote for the above institutions in their regular church meetings. This way of Messengers getting together in Associations and levying taxes on the Churches is not legal, and if the Baptist Church or independent bodies will read the New Church Directory they can have this thing stopped. I believe we Baptists should support our enterprises. Somebody may ask: "How does Bishop Mack stand with the Baptist Churches of this country? I am here to answer for myself. I am a regular ordained Minister of the Mt. Air Baptist Church of Edgewood, Mo., in good standing, as a member and with all the Baptists of this country, and have a right to express my opinion in the defense of the Baptist family, and am standing on a level with all Baptist Ministers. My wings are unclipped. As is said in the ouster of my "EPISTLE," that Christ in the Temple asked and answered questions. Here is a question I would like to asked the world, and I don't think they can deny it; that is the Scripture officers of the Church of Christ, and the only Scripture that is given in the lids of the Bible. So read Acts, the 6th chapter and 3d verse, and First Timothy, 3d chapter and 2d and 3d verses. Read Titus, the 1st chapter and 7th verse, and Philip, the 1st chapter and 1st verse. This Scripture reference means just what it says, and it is no use for individuals to jump from it, but had better jump to it. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1904. If Christ was here to-day, and if He would ask some questions concerning the Deacon Board of the Baptist Church He would say to the Church that it would be her duty to select her own deacons. Augusta Strong says in his Systematical Theology that the matter was suggested by the Apostles to elect seven men of honest repute to attend to tables, and he said according to history that the matter was brought before the Congregation. The Congregation may be termed as the Church, and this Congregation selected their own men of seven; so my ministerial brethren, it is the duty of the Church to elect her own Deacons, regardless of the minister in charge. The Bishop of the flock should not meddle with this affair, and when he does meddle with this affair he is working contrary to Baptist polity, and he is afraid of losing his job. I further say in this "Epistle" that Paul wrote concerning the officers of the Church. Paul said ordain elders in every city. He did not say that they shall be officers of the Church, and only used the word because he wanted the influence of the ancient Courts. Reverend should never be used to a man's title, for that is divinity of Christ. Pastors are not officers of the Church and never were until Martin Luther hatched it in the Sixteenth century. He got it from the Ephesians, the fourth chapter and the 11th verse, which means gifts, and has no reference to the officers of the Church. Jeremiah tells us in his prophecy, in the 12th chapter and 10th verse, of the would-be pastors, and what they would do to the Church. Following is the 10th verse: "Many pastors have enjoyed my vineyard, they have trod my portion under foot, they made my pleasant portion a wilderness." In this "Epistle" was here today, and if He was asked what was the true officers of the church of Christ, He would answer, Bishops and Deacons. Some may ask what are you Bishop of. I can answer: I am the Bishop of the National Evangelical Missionary Work of this country and Canada. For the Holy Ghost has made me spiritual overseer of this work—the Bishop and overseer of this work, because He has ordered it, and all men shall respect what the Lord has so ordained to be carried out. The gift to the salvation of souls is a great work, and ought to be appreciated by all thinking people. People should respect what Christ has given to the world to better the condition of mankind. Now, a word to the thoughtless in this "EPISTLE." If John the Baptist was to come to St. Louis to-day, robed in camel's hair, what would the people say? But if Christ would answer the question, He would say, "Touch not my annoted nor do my prophets no harm, for they are sent by me." Let me say to this country in this "EPISTLE," let every Negro and every Anglo-Saxon go to the polls at election day and vote for Theodore Roosevelt for continuance as President of the United States. If Christ was here to-day He would tell you that that is the man for the office to preside over this great nation. My prophecy is that Mr. Roosevelt will be our next President. NEGRO NEWSPAPERS OF THE UNITED STATES. We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each..... 30 Illinois and North Carolin, 12 each..... 24 Mississippi..... 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas..... 12 Missouri..... 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each..... 18 Washington, D. C..... 4 Virginia and Tennessee, 4 each..... 8 California, Ohio, New Jersey and New York each have 3.....Kansas, Nebraska, Maryland and Colorado each 3..... Colorado, each 3. Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Indian Territory have one each 7 Teritory have on each 7 Published in the south. 101 Published in the west. 44 Published in the east. 26 Total. 171 And yet there are what are called political and pocket newspapers. We have about 20 of them that last sometimes a year. The whites are flooded down with them. Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side with weekly white papers of this coun- try. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispense news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and brilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. We want 1,000 new subscribers. We want 100 advertisements. We want 100 correspondents in that many different towns. We want cash for both paper and advertisements. We want protection for ourselves and our people. Can we get this?—Nashville Palladium. The St. Louis Palladium likewise. SOUTHERN AND WESTERN PALLADIUM—HOW WE AGREE. The Palladium is the oldest Colored paper in the south.—Nashville Palladium. Yes, but The St. Louis Palladium is your twin brother, and is the best and oldest in the west. The Palladium is here to stay. We solicit your subscription.—Nashville Palladium. The St. Louis Palladium has no notion of leaving. The Palladium puts something in each issue and don't give a snap whether it suits you or not.—Nashville Palladium. Good. The St. Louis Palladium has done the same. The Palladium has no never made a dollar. It is not for sale and is not begging.—Nashville Palladium. Same here. Our prayer is! Give us this day our daily bread." We have nothing for to-morrow. The republican party would not count on the Palladium for just reasons.—Nashville Palladium. We differ here, brother, for we carry the republican banner, and it alone. We walk it, we talk it, we eat by it, sleep by it, live by it, and we expect to die by it. The common Negro in his argument against the Palladium says it is a white folks' paper. That's a lie; it's a Negro paper,pure and simple.—Nashville Palladium. The St. Louis Palladium is also Colored. One issue of the Palladium contains more common sense and solid, cold facts than every Negro paper in Nashville put together gets up in a year.—Nashville Palladium. One issue of The St. Louis Palladium calls bad men and women by their full name—John, Jack, Bill, or Sally. To keep out of these columns is to do right. The people want this, for they say so. We are going to give away 500 copies of the Palladium this issue. If you pick one up and it is too warm for you, throw it down; it shan't cost you anything.—Nashville Palladium. Throw some more over here, brother. They ain't so warm. The St. Louis Palladium is the HEATER. The little street corner knots of Negroes, who stood around and ridiculed the Palladium, are some dead, some in the penitentiary and others have come to their senses and are admitting that the Palladium is a great messenger of truth, even if it kills.—Nashville Palladium. The St. Louis Palladium has about driven this gang out of St. Louis, Mo. Let's go down to the First Baptist Church and see what the Grand Officers of the Odd Fellows can do. $2.00 Per Annum.

Mr. Henry Bridgewater, of 2844 St. Louis avenue, died last Monday night, after a lingering illness of many months. He was one of our oldest citizens, and for many years kept one of the most successful and orderly saloons in the city. He was respected by everyone, and was indeed a race man. He had lost many hundreds of dollars by standing for his people. He leaves a wife and one daughter, and many friends to mourn. Dr. D. P. Roberts, pastor of St. Paul's church, attended him several times during his illness, and impressed upon him the importance of believing in the promises of Christ. Before the last he was a firm believer in Christ, was duly received in the church and baptized. Dr. Roberts preached his funeral sermon last Wednesday. The sermon was very instructive, and his admonition to the widow and friends was very affecting. The Buffaloes turned out in full. The pall-bearers were: G. W. Holt, William P. Dyer, Z. Jordan, T. Turpin, George Lange and Charley Scott. We have received two or three postal cards informing us that a cowardly assault was made upon Prof. Wilhite of Venice, Ill., by one Phillip Fairchilds, and men who are conducting a saloon, and who a year ago was charged with one of the foulest crimes in the vocabulary, the same man who called at the Palladium office last summer looking for information. Is it possible that the city authorities allow men who are conducting dives to molest and strike a man for a supposed offense? We wish to say that Prof. Wilhite did not write the article mentioned. It was written by the manager of The Palladium. Now let the cowardly specimen of humanity call and assault him. 1 [Name] M. B. [Name] HON. EDWARD S. LEWIS, G.

Nash, of 3024 Caroline street, died last Monday, at 4 o'clock, after a short illness. He is one of the oldest and most respected citizens of our city. He was a member of the First Baptist Church. He also belonged to the U. B. F. for the last twenty years. He will be buried Sunday afternoon, from the First Baptist church, at 2 o'clock. The order of the United Brothers of Friendship and S. M. T. will turn out. Rev. E. C. Cole will preach the funeral sermon. The lodge ceremonies will be conducted by the officers of Rice Lodge No. 101, assisted by Elijah and John A. Logan lodges. Miss Katie Johnson has been connected with The Palladium for the past two years. We are under many obligations to Miss Johnson for the wise and conservative manner in which she has managed the paper. Many a time the bitter, fiery articles written by the manager, when submitted to Miss Johnson, were stripped of their bitterness and sarcasm. She has the metal that can defend her own or any cause or on any subject. She will still occupy her position as editor. No article will appear in the paper without having been submitted to her for approval or disapproval. Mrs. Georgie Trice, of 3961 Fairfax avenue, is one of our new subscribers. She was in 1902, when she was at 1424 Singleton street, but good luck came her way, and she paid $3,000 cash for a house, 3961 Fairfax avenue. We trust that she will live to enjoy the same. In 1902 she was in poor health. Now she is blessed with good health, and some of this world's goods. Has Entered Into Rest. MISS KATIE JOHNSON Good Luck.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. Every Negro in St. Louis ought to read The Palladium. On account of lack or space many important items were left out. They will appear next week. Why is it that some of our mail-carriers do not deliver papers in the rear? We are informed that they throw the paper in the yard, and the person to whom it is directed never receives it. A Mistake. In our make up issue of the Palladium this week a duplicate of two buildings, West Virginia and Indiana buildings being repeated twice leaves out two other buildings. The First Baptist Church will be crowded May $, to hear the noted visitors that will attend the annual sermon of the Odd Fellows. Prof. J. McHenry Jones, of West Virginia; Hon. John C. Dancy, recorder of deeds, Washington, D. C.; Hon. W. W. Lawrence, of Newborn, North Carolina; Hon. Edw. S. Lewis, of Kansas City; Hon. Wm.

THANKS TO ALL FOR THEIR GENEROUS SUPPORT OF THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM. The manager of The St. Louis Palladium wishes to extend thanks to the public in general for its hearty support. For twenty years we have published The Palladium, and we are proud to say that we have always done what we thought was right, and shall still hew to the line. THE WORLD'S FAIR. Never since St. Louis' earliest history has there been as great a furor as exists at the present time. Little did the early explorers of the Mississippi valley and the French settlers of this city think that in the distant future the city they had founded in a wilderness would develop into the center of the world's admiration. The celebration of the Louisiana Purchase is one in which all natives will join—it is of widespread interest to the world at large. The representation of the Negro race at the fair will, it is anticipated, be a highly commendable one. The children of the Colored schools have prepared work for the fair. The journalistic work of the Negro will show his ability in that line. The three Negro papers of our city will make an excellent display. Those who visit the World's fair will find that it will surpass by far any that has ever been given. No particular booth will be set apart for the Negro race. They will be represented only as American citizens. No discrimination will be made. On Sixteenth Street, North of Lucas Avenue. We sometimes make admiration of good-looking and pretty women, and men sometimes stake their last dollar on them. But seldom do we hear of good-looking men. But at last we have found him—Gen. Rice, on Sixteenth street, north of Lucas avenue. They tell us that women of all kinds come to his home to see him—single, married and old maids flock to see what manner of man is Gen. Rice. Men pass him on the street, but turn to look upon this stylish, good-looking man. Church Conference. On next Wednesday the general convention of the A. M. E. church will open in Chicago. This is the greatest body of Colored men in America. They will be in session one month. We trust great good will be accomplished. On next Wednesday the general conference of the A. M. E. church will convene in St. Louis, at 2625 Montgomery street. This body of Christian gentlemen comes next to the A. M. E. conference. Bishop Manck's Appointments. Bishop A. Mack will hold a grand rally for the Union Baptist church, of Alton, Ill., the second Sabbath in May, and will leave St. Louis for the same on the Saturday before the second Sabbath in May. He will also preach at Mt. Ewing Baptist church the third Sabbath in May. At Jacksonville, Ill., he will hold a basket meeting for the Trinity Baptist church. At New London, on the fourth Sabbath in May, and one at the First Baptist church at Granville, Mo., on the first Sabbath in June. Aged Colored Woman Dies. Mrs. Julia Hunt. Colored, died Wednesday, at her home, 1500 Baker avenue, East St. Louis. The woman always contended that she was 116 years old, and that her nearest heir was a great-great-grandchild, who is now 40 years of age. Mrs. Hunt was born in slavery and at the time of her liberation had great-grandchildren living. The body was buried at Brooklyn, Wednesday. Some of the older Colored people of the east side are of the opinion that she was over 100 years of age. First Baptist Church of Bridgeton, Mo., has services as follows: Preaching 11 A. M.; Sabbath school 2 P. M. Preaching 7:30 P. M. Rev. W. W. Perry, Pastor. A grand entertainment was given by the M. E. church of Bridgeton, for the benefit of their pastor, Rev. J. M. Smallie. Everyone who was present enjoyed the occasion. The Missionary Circle of the First Baptist church, Bridgeton, gave an entertainment last Saturday evening, and it was enjoyed by all whom were present. There will be a rally given by the M. E. church, Bridgeton, Sunday, May 8. Dinner will be served and they solicit your aid. The Masonic Ball. Despite the inclement weather, last Monday night, a large crowd turned out to attend the Masonic ball. Everyone expected the ball to be postponed on account of the continuous rain. The ball began in earnest about 11 or 12 o'clock, after a grand march by those present. Programmes were issued, which were quickly filled. The most important event of the evening was the bestowal of crowns on some of the ladies of the court, and the presentation of a badge to the worshipful master of the J. Q. Johnson lodge, who won the prize for turning out the largest number of members. An address by the renowned J. Milton Turner was very interesting. Mr. James Grant, in his role of master of ceremonies, made the evening pleasant for those present. His new dances won the compliments of all. Mr. Flowers, was highly appreciated. Miss Ruby Lee was one of the attractive ladies of the ball. Mrs. Viola Garret led the grand march of the Masons. Mrs. Smith made a very interesting speech in acceptance of a crown presented to her. Mrs. Carruthers also received a crown, for which she gave thanks, in a little address. Mr. Hendesey, worshipful master of the J. Q. Johnson lodge, was totally surprised by the presentation of the badge to him. Mr. Grant felt that even if the worshipful master and attendants only were present on such an inclement evening, he was deserving of the prize. Many others attended the ball, and, from all appearances, thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Another number of lodge gives a ball next Monday night at the Masonic Temple.

REPUBLIC HALL IMORE GARDEN THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE Virginia's building at the Louisiana Purchase exposition is to be a replica of Monticello, the home of the president who made the Louisiana purchase. Mr. Jefferson was an enthusiastic student of architecture and an amateur draughtsman, who brought back from THE MUSEUM OF THE WEST RHODE ISLAND BUILDING. All the details of the Rhode Island building are similar in design to portions of colonial Rhode Island architecture. The main staircase will have mahogany rails and posts, and old ivory finished post-balusters, treads and trimmings. To the right of the reception hall will be a writing room, and to the rear of the writing room the women's parlor, both provided with large open fireplaces with gas logs to burn natural gas, and the mantels are to be exact THE HOTEL TRAVELERS PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION BUILDING. The Travelers' Protective association will pay the compliment to the Louisiana Purchase exposition for erecting the first building ever constructed for the use of a traveling men's organization at a world's fair. When the traveling men were called upon by the finance committee representing the World's fair authorities, and asked to contribute $50,000 to the general fund, their reply was that they would make it $100,000, which they his foreign tours many studies of famous old buildings. The plans and specifications for Monticello to the minutest details by his own hand, are still extatn. As this exposition is a Jefferson centennial, it was Virginia's proud privilege to reproduce some spec- HUGO CAM copies of some old colonial mantels. To the left of the hall will be the information room, with space for storage of parcels, information desk, long distance telephone booth and drinking water fountains. To the rear of this room is to be the smoking room, and adjoining it the private office of the commission. The second floor will have a state or executive room, 20x30 feet, a reading room 16x17 feet 6 inches, with a bath room for each two rooms. All rooms on the first and second floors will open direct to the porches and balconies raised to $107,000, and this was done before any other line of business had turned in its subscription. Subsequent to this, at their last annual meeting, held at Old Point Comfort, Va., in June, 1901, the idea of erecting at the World's fair a commodious and handsome T. P. A. building, which was originated and suggested by the St. Louis post of the T. P. A., was discussed and approved by the national organization. This suggestion has now been put into practical shape by the organization of the T. P. A.

Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. Ater a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics.

E NOTES FROM THE FIRST BAPTIST There will be another baptizing at the First Baptist church next Sunday evening. A large crowd is anticipated. The Ruth club will serve a fine dinner at the First Baptist church next Sunday, Mrs. Leatha Newcomb, president. Mrs. S. P. Phillips, of 1504 Clarke avenue, gave a nice ice cream entertainment last Monday night, for the benefit of the First Baptist church. She had a success. The following named ladies are some of the most notable church workers at the First Baptist church: Mesdames Mattie A. Glirre, E. B. Cole, Leatha Newcomb, Nora Lee, M. Sweeney, Katie L. Boswell, L. Daniels, Sophia Edwards, Minnie Turner, A. Turner, M. T. Fuqua, Julia Townsend, Fannie West, E. Jones, Sadie Byrd, Mamie Harris, Anna Jones, Lillian Richardson, M. J. Grant, E. L. Oakley and Miss Anna Thomas. Just as soon as the morning service was over at the First Baptist church, several of the different clubs met to attend to their weekly business. The Pleasant Workers' club, of which Madame M. A. Gilree is president, had quite an interesting meeting, and another entertainment was decided on, to be given at the home of Madame Gilree, 3004 Lawton avenue, on the night of May 3. This entertainment promises to be the grandest affair that was ever given in the history of the club, in fact the madame will see to it that everyone that attends will go away with a smile and a wish in their hearts that they are given another chance to return again. The Carnation club decided in their meeting to give a grand old candy pulling and ice cream entertainment on the second Monday night in May. The candy will be made by Mr. A. B. Oglesby, one of the best candy-makers in the city. The entertainment will be at the First Baptist church. Everybody is cordially invited. Madame M. J. Grant, president. Bishop Mack preached an interesting sermon at the First Baptist last Sunday night, 7:30. In the course of his remarks he said: If we would stick to God, God would stick to us, and we would have less trouble in this life; and the reason that there is so much trouble in the churches nowadays is on HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.

It is highly necessary for our people to wake up from their lethergy and indifference and come out in the light and sunshine of God's truth, and stand up for the right, discouraging immorality, dishonesty, laziness, idleness, wickedness, and, indeed, everything that tends in the very least to hinder us serving God, and coming together as a race should do. When this is done, we will have less trouble with each other and also with the white race, for God is too holy, righteous and just to even permit any one race to oppress another race that lives right and serves Him as they ought. Miss E. P. was out last Sunday in company with a gentleman. So look out. Mrs. M. A. Lawrence received a letter from Eskridge, Kas., stating that her aunt, Mrs. June Bagwell, is quite ill. We hope she may get better. Mr. Allen Tillman, president of the B. Y. P. U., desires to meet all the members of the union at 6:30 p. m. Sunday, May 1, at Antioch church. Rev. F. McKinney attended services at Union Memorial M. E. church, last Sunday morning, and at Central Baptist in the afternoon. Mr. Chase, father of Mrs. M. B. Allen, at 2623 Thomas street, at this writing is very ill and is not expected to recover. Mrs. Chase is about 44 years old, and has been ill a long time. Mr. A. T. attended the social given by the ways and means committee at Central Baptist church, Thursday evening, 21, in company with five ladies, but they were members of the Noon Day Social club, so it was all right. In the absence of the pastor, Rev. F. M. McKinney, Sunday morning, Rev. J. O. Edwards filled the palpit. He spoke from 16th chapter of St.Luke 22d verse and a part of the 23d verse. The young man spoke well. His sermon was strong and practical, from which he urged his hearers that if they would have rest beyond the grave they must live right in this world. ANTIOCH CHURCH ITEMS. Antioch Missionary circles have changed their time of meeting, from the third Sunday to the second Wednesday night in each month. All are invited to attend. M. A. Lawrence, president; Miss E. Phillips, secretary. Mr. J. A. Smith, superintendent of Antioch Sunday school, has asked each teacher to see to it that their classes give as much as $1 per month, and classes No. 1 and 2, taught by Mr. F. McKinney, Jr., and M. A. Lawrence, are requested to give more. Why is so much expected of some people? Entertain the Red, White and Blue Club. On last Thursday noon, Miss Lena B. Palmer, of 4020 Finney avenue, entertained the Red, White and Blue Musical club, of Chicago, with a very interesting musical programme. Miss Palmer, who is well known in St. Louis, Chicago and New York city as being an excellent entertainer, is fast becoming noted in the musical world.
