M. E. Mission, 1111 Wash Street. The recent Easter being the second that has occurred since the birth of the above named mission, which made its advent into existence May 23, 1903. Since last Easter the good pastor and members of Allen mission realize that God has wonderfully blessed them in the good work of the master, numerically, spiritually and financially. The membership has grown since last Easter from 10 or 12 to some sixty-odd. Rev. Prof. Wm. M. Patton, of Denver, Col., was present and opened the morning service by reading Mal. 4, and singing hymn 374, after which prayer was offered. At 11 a. m., Rev. Oliver W. Harris, pastor, ascended the sacred rostum as the preacher of the hour. He selected for his text: Mark 16:3. He began in the following way: "We are here to celebrate the resurrection or to commemorate of the greatest event that has ever occurred. The Rev. Harris in the beginning of his sermon made a brief preface relative to the blessing God has and is continually bestowing upon us sinful creatures, yet we are inclined to abuse his goodness and continue our course against his teaching. The Rev. dealt largely upon the life of Christ and his resurrection. His sermon was powerful. Our souls were made to rejoice in the God of our salvation. On our departing we were forced to rehearse the conversion of the little small apostolic band that took place more than nineteen hundred years ago. "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked by the way." At the close of the sermon, Rev. John W. Abram and mother, Mrs. Mary Abram were joyfully received into the church. At 3 p. m., Rev. John W. Abram preached an able sermon. He selected for his text: Matt. 2:2. We witnesseth a happy waiting and our souls were set on fire during the time Rev. Abram, was breaking to us the bread of eternal life. At 8 p. m., Rev. Wm. M. Patton, S. T. P., of Colorado, was introduced to the congregation as the evening servant. He selected for his text: Mark 28:6. The doctor's theme was: "Easter, Easter." He dealt at length upon the word Easter and its origin, translating the word Easter from the following sources of its derivation. Latin, Pascha, French Paque, Italian, Pasqua, Spanish, Pasquc, German Oster or Ostara, the Goddess of Spring, Greek, Pasquc, Scottish, Pasch, He- LYONS OPEN ALL NIGHT. LYONS' CAFE, GEO. J.

After the doctor had held a crowded house spell-bound for about twenty minutes, relative to Easter and its real meaning of Easter in the original tongue of each nation, he took up the life and resurrection of Christ. The doctor's sermon was his historical, intellectual, witty, pointed and soul-stirring. The entire day was spent as a high day at Alien mission, in each service, spiritually and financially.

As May 11 is fast approaching, the citizens are expecting to witness the opening ceremonies of the new Masonic hall. We are expecte to have the grandest affair ever held in Jefferson City. The grand master and ex-grand reaster have been invited to be present with us on that day. Let every Mason hold out his hand and assist Capitol City Lodge No. 9, A. F. & A. M., as the building is a beautiful three-story structure, situated due cast and west one block from the capitol building. Refreshments will be served by Tabitha court, with Sister America Moore, past matron, as chairman of the committee, and Sister Cordelia Coleman as vice chairman. The building is now complete, only awaiting the opening ceremonies. awaiting the opening ceremonies. Every Negro Mason should be proud, not only of the effort of Capitol City lodge, but of the race as well, when only a few of them agree to get together to build such a structure, which cost $4,500. Will you be with us at the opening of the hall? Yours truly, CORRESPONDENT WHY NOT READ NEGRO PAPER? We again call the attention of the public to the fact that, a little learning and a few hundred dollars are the cause of a number of our race going to the lunatic asylum. . . Not one Negro in ten can tell why a Negro, Irish, French, German, Italian, Jew or any other weekly paper is published. We have stated time and again that these papers are printed for the purpose of getting the news among that particular people or race, and not for the general news of the world. Yet you will find a number of Negroes with their pockets full of white newspapers.

'Luis same Negro will say, "When I read a Negro paper, I see things in that paper that I read in the white papers." This at once snows his ignorance of Negro papers. We are confident that in every Negro paper that is published by Negro men, the editor tries to advance the news of the Negro race, and they do to a great extent. If the Negroes want to see the ill-diings of their race pointed out, let them read a white paper, and no good will they find for the Negro. Only some huge article that is printed for the purpose of obtaining Negro subscribers to that paper. Let the Negro of the United-States support their own papers and they will get the news of all their race of people. HIS DIRTY WORK. We are very sorry indeed that a little pattent sheet called a newspaper, named the American Eagle, and published in St. Louis, is always fighting at shadows. Some years ago it printed an article about our school teachers, and they made a charge through that pattent sheet that always came out at the little end of the horn. Last week it published an article reflecting upon the good name of Prof. B. F. Allen, principal of Lincoln Institute, claiming that he was trying to get Gov. Jos. W. Folk to appoint a white man in place of one Slas Harris. This we believe to be an unmitigated falsehood. Prof. Allen is not of that type; he is considered one of the leading teachers in Missouri, and his work col Institute is the pride of the Nerroes of the state of Missouri. We are thankful for the large appropriations made for that institution by the last legislature, and for the signing of the bill by our Hon. Gov. Joseph W. Folk. We are sure that if Gov. Folk had been an enemy to the Negro he would have vetoed that bill and we believe that what he has done he did for the good of Lincoln Institute, and Prof. B. F. Allen is too big a man to stoop to such a little thing as the American Eagle accuses him of Poor Old Eagle. PROF. ALLEN IN KANSAS CITY. Banquet Given in His Honor by Local Negro Clubs. President B. F. Allen addressed the teachers' institute of Kansas City, Mo., on Saturday, April 8, in the auditorium of the Central high school. Supt. Greenwood was well pleased with President Allen's address. He made quite a complimentary speech at the close of the address and the big audience gave him a standing vote of thanks. Assistant Superintendents Thorpe and Longdon both complimented the speech and all said it was one of the best of the season. President Allen is rapidly pushing Lincoln institute to the front, and is making friends for her in new places. On Saturday night the Negroes of the two Kansas cities gave a banquet in honor of President Allen. The following is taken from the Kansas City Journal of Sunday: "The Attucks club, a Negro social organization of this city, gave a banquet last night at Carr's restaurant, 2401 Vine street, in honor of Prof. B. F. Allen, president of Lincoln Institute of Jefferson City. The object of the banquet was to arouse interest in Lincoln institute to the end that the institution may receive a more liberal patronage from Kansas City in "e future than it has in the past. The banquet was well attended by representative Negro people of the city. After the menu was disposed of the following toasts were responded to: "Our Guest," W. W. Yates. "The Past Influence of Lincoln Institute," J. S. Harris. "ne Lincoln Institute Alumni," I. M. Horton. The Negro in the Pulpit," W. T. Vernon. "The Negro at the Bar," I. F. Bradley.

SEVEN POINTERS FOR THE READING AND ADVERTISING PUBLIC. (1) THE ST. 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 fide 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. 69 The Western Time Association. We are of the opinion that the Western Time association is a corpation that will redound in much good to our race, and this same should be patronized by our people. We have heard that several agents of other companies are going among our people telling them that the Western Time association is not entitled to rank among the other companies that are doing an enormous insurance business. This company is duly incorporated, like all other companies that are doing business, with the consent of the state of Missouri, and all reports from agents of other companies should be disregarded by our people—and the agents that are so talking will find that to build a house you must have a foundation, and that foundation can not be laid by pulling down another man's house. The First Baptist church reporter has failed to send any report from that church to The Palladium. We wish to say we are much relieved of a deal of matter from which we got very little returns. But it is the same old game—a little learning is the cause of many of Aunt Hager's children going to the insane asylum. "To be or not to be," that's the question. SNOOKS. The "Dirty Dozen" must go. We will give the names of these rascales. Some of them are bootblacks, some rounders, some pimps of the deepest dye, some pretend to work in respectable families out west. At any rate, this "Dirty Dozen" must go. The St. Louis Palladium has more subscribers than any other two Negro papers in the state of Missouri. We have more business men and women that advertise in The Palladium than any four Negro papers in the west. The Palladium man is onto the little game of a few Negroes who attempted to protest against the appointment of James Bradley in the B. of P. I. We have your names. The Frisco System is among the best railroad systems in this country. We advise those who wish to go touring to try this road. T.C.G.A. T.C.G.A. The Twentieth Century Girls' Club or "T. C. G. A." At the Douglass hall last Tuesday evening at 8:30 o'clock the concert company was at its best. The hall was crowded and each performed their parts well. The opening chorus was gorgeous and no better display could have been made by veteran performers. B. Pruitt, B. Watson, B. Beasley and R. Williams were indeed grand and kept the vast concourse of people in continual laughter. Mr. Henry McGill was at his best. MISS BEA A. MISS BEATRICE ROSS The "Cozey Corner Girl," sung by Miss B. Ross, was very good. All of the girls were provided with pillows to sit upon, but the attitude in which they sat was not to the advantage of the singer, yet she did well. The "Big Fig Tree," by Miss Almeda Hutchinson and B. Watson was good. "You're the Sweetest Flower in Tennessee," was sung by Miss Rachel Ellison. This young lady captivated her audience and won for herself the "Sweet Singer of Israel." In fact all of the performers were of the highest type. Marriage Licenses For the Past Two Weeks. You will miss a treat if you fail to go over the Frisco System. The cars are beautiful, and it is pleasant to look upon the scenery along that line to the Golden Gate of California. This play was up to the standard in every way. Now let us look at the vast audience, it was also up to the standard of a progressive people, who are plodding their way to the paramount point of intelligent and well-behaved people, but, whenever men and women want to do right the dirty, ignorant illbred Nigger can be found. Such was the case last Tuesday night. In the gallery was a number of Niggers that are not worth the powder that will send them out of this world. They were huddled together in the west corner of the Douglass hall gallery. We surveyed them and at once named them the "Dirty Dozen." A few persons around them tried to hear what ```markdown ``` was said on the stage by the performers, but the loud talk and cat-calls made things hideous for those around them. Dr. Fields was there and tried to preserve order, but they paid no attention to him. We were disgusted and said within ourselves that the "Dirty Dozen" must be gotten rid of, and the only way that we can do this is to get their names and pass them to our chief, Wm. Desmond and he will see to this "Dirty Dozen" that is now invading the different halls and making day and night hideous. "The hand writing is on the wall." ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES Services last Sunday at Antioch church were well attended. Several visitors were in attendance. The pastor, Rev. S. P. Anderson, preached a splendid sermon at 11 a. m., and at 8 p. m. Rev. Dr. Perry, of Chambers Street Baptist church, delivered a good sermon, which was very earnestly listened to and heartily enjoyed by all. The church is doing well spiritually and financially under the leadership of their new pastor, with the co-operation of the officers and members. Friends, do not forget that Sunday, May 7, is Rally day at Antioch church, at which time the pastor expects to see all his members out. Mr. Samuel Dillard, father of Miss Clara Dillard, of 4556 North Market street, was buried from Antioch church Friday, April 28. He was ill only a few days. Mr. Fred Massey, of 4582 Maffitt avenue, a member of Antioch church, who was thrown from his wagon by a street car last Thursday and badly hurt, is getting along nicely, but he may not be out for two weeks yet.

Chief of Police Pardue of Union City, Tenn., and three police officers were shot by negroes in a gambling den that was being raided. The shooting was followed by a raid by white citizens on "nigger row." The joke was on Missouri.

The St. Louis Palladium, City: Gentlemen—A long-felt necessity destined to go—namely, the anxious seat of mercy. In all times the need of this article has been felt by all applicants, sincere applicants. Zacheus sought it in the tree, Bartemeus by the roadside, the Greeks at the gate of the temple. And, as I said before, all sincere applicants have felt the necessity of presenting his or her individual case himself at some designated place. Still, this smart set, whose mouth must be stopped, tell us that long-felt necessity in all times past must be extirpated. They say a sinner can't pray. Admit, for the sake of argument, that he can't. What is the benefit to be derived from his deprivation or restraint from the great privilege of trying? It is an instinct in every individual to believe that he can pray if he wants. Since all of us did pray that received anything, since all of us believed that we was materially helped by our effort, why abolish the instrument through which we have sought and found the pearl of great price? Saul prayed before the scales fell from his eyes, too. It was told to Ananias that he prayed, and he was blind yet, and he had been in direct communication with Jesus of Nazareth. The interval between belief and unbelief is so quick, so brief, indescribably brief, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. We are not ready for the eradication of the anxious seat, without protestation. E. HUMPHREY. It is just as well to stop school if the girls have boys coming from 6 to 10 o'clock at night. Mothers that let their girls go where they please, when they are away from home. Time will bring sorrow. Books and boys do not go together. Girls or young ladies who are on the street two and three hours after night will, some day, shed tears. Mothers and girls that spend hours at other people's houses. There is something wrong. Young ladies are judged by the company they keep. For reasons see farther. What the Palladium Man Saw Last Monday Night. We were on the corner of Jefferson and Olive, when we heard the noise of a number of half-grown men, boys and girls. The boys and men were dudes and pimps and some of them did not work at all. The girls, many of whom attend school, others of the number do nothing but walk the streets, and some of them we have seen in places of bad repute. The girls were making night hideous from Jefferson avenue and Pine street and on the corner of Jefferson and Lawton; a regular crow convention was held. They were talking as loud as a drunken white man fighting with a Negro. It is a pity that big Andrew Gordon did not come along at that time and send them all to the four courts for disturbing the peace. One Negro who had one of the girls cornered off, was about three feet in height and owes the Palladium office $2.20, but as we looked upon him, he looked like a "Sheep-Killing Dog." We take pleasure in presenting Mr. Charles Narcise, who is now managing a bar at 2216 Chestnut street. We hope that he will be successful, as he is one of our old citizens, and we have known the young man for many years. Give him a call. Yes, the bar at 2216 Chestnut street, is a very nice place. Don't forget, as he, Mr. Charles Narcise, one of our citizens. So go and see for yourself. Mrs. Montgomery, of Baton Rouge, La., is spending several days with her daughter, Mrs. J. H.

There are many Negroes who have not respect enough to subscribe and pay for a Negro paper, although it defends their cause and gives them representation. In Memphis there are many homes in which Negro papers are unknown, yet these same Negroes are always whining, sitting around shedding crocodile tears as to how they are being treated. They will pay from 10 to 15 cents per week with great delight for papers that call them "toons" and "Negro cats," papers that think they are not fit for anything but to hew wood and draw water, papers that boldly declare in thunder tones that they are not published for the Negro, papers that will give whole columns to a Negro rapist and scarcely one line to a Negro author or Negro social affair. When will the Negro learn to discriminate? Subscribers failing to get their papers will not be exempted from payment of subscription on the ground that paper was not received. You are requested to report by letter or postal card.—Exchange. From now on we will adopt the above rule. We have had this same Helping Hand Society. Organized in May, 1903, this organization has been of much success to the members of that order, also others that were found in need.

Glenwood Springs, Col., May 5.—For three days the president's hunting party has been stormbound in the mountains. Rain and snow have fallen continuously, and at night there was no sign of a break. The roads are muddy, and the trails accordingly dangerous for horsemen. T. R. The hunters intended to move to the East Divide creek on Monday, but as the party will break up Saturday, the camp will likely be moved to the head of Garfield creek as soon as horsemen can get through. Mountain streams are raging torrents, and most of them can not be crossed. Grizzly bears are the only kind of game that will be hunted for from now on. Thus far this king of the Rocky mountain beasts had eluded the president, and he is very anxious to get one. Ten brown bears have fallen to the party, and some of good size. President Roosevelt is expected here Saturday night, instead of Sunday morning. If camp is located on Garfield creek, the party will ride to Glenwood Springs, crossing the Grand river at South Canyon. The presidential special will leave Glenwood Springs at five o'clock Monday morning and reach Denver at 5 p.m. that day. This is more than an hour faster than the best passenger schedule. The train will be made up of the private car Rocket, a Union Pacific railroad library car and a baggage car. A pilot carrying officials of the Denver & Rio Grande railway will precede the president's train. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. International Secretary J. E. Moorland spent several days with us last week. He reports that the work among Colored men is developing splendidly throughout the country. We are striving to bring our association in the class with the large New York and Baltimore Colored associations. The members are planning to give a May concert at Central Baptist church in a few weeks. We earnestly desire the help of our friends in this effort. Rev. J. Layton Manze, of the Central Presbyterian church will make a special address to men, Sunday afternoon at 4:30. There will be special music. Let every man who reads this come and bring a friend.

BUSINESS MEN ASK FOR TROOPS Chicago Business Men Do Not Think the Police Strong Enough. ARE ANXIOUS FOR MORE FORCE Mayor Dunne and the Chief of Police Think They Can Handle the Situation Without Resort to the Military. Chicago, May 4—Rioting in the streets, Wednesday, was so prolonged and of so fierce a character that many of the leading business men have concluded that there will be neither peace in the city nor safety for its business interests until the state militia has been called out to restore order. A committee of members of the Employers' association left for Springfield to confer with Gov. Deneen, and to request him to give orders to the state troops. The labor unions have an extensive lobby at the state capital, and it is likely that they will also be heard before any action is taken by the governor. Chief of Police O'Neill says he is confident that he has control of the situation, and can keep peace in the city. Mayor Dunne supports him in this view, and has declared that in his opinion the emergency has not arisen requiring the presence of troops. On the other hand, the business men point to the long list of injured which marked the rioting of Tuesday and the greater number of those who were hurt Wednesday, and declare that this alone is sufficient proof that the police are not, unalready, sufficiently strong to cope with the situation. Some Carried Rifles. Despite the orders of Mayor Dunne and the prohibition of the city council, many of the wagons of the concerns against which strikes have been declared were handled my men armed with rifles and shotguns. The first rifle shot fired during the strike went whizzing through a crowded thoroughfare Wednesday. The shot was fired by a guard on a wagon of the United States Express Co., while it was passing through a crowd of strike sympathizers at the intersection of State and Randolph streets. In driving past the corner the driver of the wagon reined his horses up suddenly. A guard within the wagon seeing a street car conductor stooping as though to throw a missile, pulled the rifle trigger without the slightest hesitation. No person was hit, and it developed later that the conductor, who narrowly escaped death, was intent solely on his legitimate work of "throwing a switch." The request of the employers that the police be allowed to ride on their wagons was declined by the chief of police. Positive orders were issued that under no circumstances must the officers mount the wagons, and they will continue to march abreast of the wagons on the street or keep along with them while walking on the sidewalks. The order, Chief of Police O'Neill explained, was simply intended to ward off criticism. While the officers might do just as good work while riding on the wagons, the chief declared he did not intend to have it said of the department that it was showing partiality or guarding private property, especially. Both Sides Made Ga'ns. Both sides made gains Wednesday, and the result leaves them about all evenly balanced as they were before. The accession to the ranks of the teamsters was made when a strike was declared against the coal firm of Crear, Clinch & Co. This concern employs several hundred men, and del vers coal to a large number of the most prominent office buildings in the city. One of their drivers was discharged for refusing to make deliveries and the rest walked out at once. The gain for the Employers' association was made when the members of the Hay & Grain Dealers' association, which employs 1,200 teams, declared that deliveries would be made to any place in the city, irrespective of strike conditions. If drivers refuse they will be discharged. Mobs Filled the Streets The mobs that filled the streets in the business section were larger and gullier in disposition than on Tuesday. There was fighting in all sections of the downtown district throughout the day, and over a dozen times the police were compelled to use their clubs and the wagon guards, who are armed with heavy canes, swung them whenever they were attacked or thought an assault was about to be made. In many cases these guards were not careful whom they hit, and there were a number of persons who were knocked down simply because they happened to be the nearest man to a stalwart guard carrying a hickory club. This was the carrying a hickory club. Many Wanton Attacks. On the other hand, the strikers and their friends were equally indiscriminate in assaulting people. There were a number of instances where mob boarded street cars and wantonly attacked people riding in them, giving reason later that they were strikebreakers, when in fact they had nothing whatever to do with the trouble. W. Jamison and Edward Boswell, the latter a colored medical student, were two sufferers in this direction by a mob that boarded a street car on which they were riding, and beat them unmercifully. SERIES OF VIOLENT STORMS. St. Louis Apparently the Center of a Series of Violent Electrical, Rain and Hail Stors. St. Louis, May 5—Starting about two o'clock Thursday afternoon, St. Louis and vicinity was the center of the most violent electrical, rain and hail storms experienced for a long time, which continued at intervals till far into the night. The storms of rain were intermittent, lasting for but a few minutes at a time and then recurring with apparently increasing force a bit later. During the electrical storm in the afternoon two houses were struck by lightning, but the flames were extinguished by the fire department with but little damage being inflicted. Reports from the western suburbs indicate that in at least one instance the rain fell in such volumes as almost to amount to a cloudburst. The First Presbyterian church of Webster Groves was struck by lightning about three o'clock and a portion of one side torn away, badly damaging he edifice. A portion of the suburb as flooded with about two feet of water. During the heavy rainfall downtown a huge piece of stone masonry weighing almost a ton, separated itself from the second story cornice of the Merchants Exchange building at Third and Pine streets and fell to the brick area, a distance of 30 feet. About 1,500 people, mostly women were huddled together in the open grandstand at the old fair grounds race track during the heaviest storm. It poured down for nearly an hour, flooding everything and everybody. Reports from over the river indicate that much damage was done, especially to the orchards and gardens, the hall being especially heavy in the vicinity of Edwardsville, Ill., in which town several houses were struck by lightning. Charles Kroeger, a wealthy farmer living four miles north of Edwardsville was killed by lightning as his family was looking out of the window. George Denton, seven years old, living at No.7035 Bruno avenue, St. Louis was drowned by slipping off a plank into an excavation filled by flood water. UNDER AN UPROOTED TREE. Two St. Louisiana Severely Injured By a Falling Tree During Thursday's Storm. St. Louis, May 5.—James T. Roberts known as the informant in the celebrated James L. Blair case, and J Hugo Grimm, a well-known attorney, were seriously injured by a falling tree at Lucas avenue and Twenty-eighth street during the severe storm of Thursday afternoon. They were pinned beneath the trunk and branches of the tree for about five minutes, unable to release themselves, while hail and rain beat upon them. Roberts was seriously injured internally and his right leg was bruised. Grimm's left leg was broken below the knee. DEATHS BY LIGHTNING. They Occurred During a Phenomenally Heavy Storm in the Lower Michigan Peninsula. Detroit, Mich., May 5.—The lower peninsula was swept, Thursday, by a storm that caused several deaths by lightning, and in the vicinity of Grand Rapids resulted in nearly $100,000 damage to green houses and peach orchards from phenomenally heavy hail. Near Hillsdale, Willis Swift and his 20-year-old son, Claude, farmers, who had fled to their barn on the approach of the storm, were killed by lightning. Near Standish, Joseph Southworth was struck by lightning and killed while walking along the track of the Mackinac division of the Michigan Central railroad. WIND, RAIN AND HAIL STORMS The Northwestern Part of Nebraska Visited by Fierce Storms and Lower Temperature. Lincoln, Neb., May 5.—Severe storms of wind, rain and hail prevailed in Nebraska Wednesday night and Thursday. Near Lincoln the only damage of consequence was the blowing off of a part of the roof of an addition to the state penitentiary. At Carroll, heavy hail and wind combined to do considerable damage. A windstorm reaching the proportions of a tornado visited Akron. In the extreme northwestern part of the state snow is falling, driven by a high wind, and the temperature in eastern Nebraska, Thursday night, indicated frost. Damage by Tornado. Norfolk, Neb., May 5.—Buildings were leveled, small grain ruined and trees were considerably damaged in the path of the tornado, which extended several miles in width, eight miles south of this place. There was a sudden drop in the mercury of 40 degrees. The Dewey Case Ended. Norton, Kas., May 5.—The celebrated case of Chauncey Dewey, a millionaire ranchman, and Clyde Wilson and A. J. McBride, cowboys employed by Dewey, who were charged with killing two members of the Berry family, neighboring ranchmen in northwestern Kansas, has been dismissed. Cleveland Endows a College. Lincoln, Neb., May 5.—Grover Cleveland has endowed the Hastings college, at Hastings, Neb. The amount of endowment is not stated. The institution has had a hard struggle for existence.

An Attitude of Heart Which Will Find Expression in a Beautiful Christian Character. The sacred historian seems to take a peculiar pleasure in dwelling on the beautiful, holy boyhood of the child Samuel who served before the Lord, wearing a linen ephod and who in the visitations of the night, thrilling to the Divine voice which called him by his name, answered fearlessly: "Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth." What an example is this to the young everywhere! What more glorious than to see our young men and boys going forth into the world to live noble, self-denying lives, benefiting and blessing others, while themselves leading pure, strong and sweet lives. But the vantage ground of such a life can only be gained by the personal devotion of the heart, by the personal surrender of the individual will. These alone can save a man or make him holy, and to acquire these becomes a more difficult task as our years advance. To the young the task becomes a comparatively easy one, but even to him much will come to hinder and embarrass him on climbing the mountain path of life and seeking entrance through the wicket gate of righteousness; but neither, on the other hand, can any will or power except his own retard his ascent or forbid his ingress. We say unhesitatingly to every young man and woman, that on themselves, on the conscious exercise of their own free will, depends their eternal salvation or ruin. O, how earnest then should be our prayers that God would direct them by the influences of the Holy Spirit into the right way. It is the strong, active years of youth that the Lord wants.—Christian Work. RECONCILABLE TRUTHS Nothing Unreasonable in Believing in Divine Sovereignty and Human Free Will. Sir Oliver Lodge, of the University of Birmingham, England—who would be pretty certain to be included in any competent enumeration of the dozen foremost physical scientists of the world—in a recent address discussed "irrefragable law" and "spiritual guidance" as rival ideals in the order of the universe, and said finally as the conclusion of his remarks: "These two beliefs are not inconsistent with each other, and we may and should contemplate and gradually feel our way toward accepting both." Divine soveregency and human free will are, therefore, not the only contradictories which men are learning to believe in as mutually compatible in fact, though perhaps still inexplicable philosophically. Indeed, no other intellectual trait more creditably distinguishes this age than the growing disposition to seek complementary truth in apparently opposing views. This tendency denotes greater insight and promotes greater outlook. Even Dr. Francis Patton, who is not always himself eminently successful in seeing two sides of a question, had the wisdom to declare in his recent series of Chicago lectures: "Nothing else occasions so much difficulty in the realm of religious thought as the failure to recognize the autonomy of truth." RAM'S HORN BLASTS. The upright man always leans on God. The self-willed are but weak-willed. When you pray for rain buy rubbers. Walls do not make the place of worship. There are no switches on the road beyond the grave. Ali gain that costs character is an immeasurable loss. It is not much use to master the Bible unless its truths master you. The devil is not killed by church people looking daggers at one another. No man is nearer heaven on one earth than when he knelts at the family. than when he knees at the family altar. You cannot build mansions in the skies out of blocks of bricks stolen from the poor. Many a man makes a failure at following because he is oppressed by his sense of genius for leadership. O, poor, worn heart, didst thou but know the name for thy pain, thou wouldst call it sin. What dost thou need, then, but Christ, the Son of God, the Heart of God, the Love of God?—Joseph Parker. WHEN USING GAS RANGE. Little Care and One Can Economize Very Considerably in the Amount of Her Gas Bills. See that the food is entirely ready or cooking before lighting the stove. A pot can do no more than boil. After that process has been started, the lowered flame will keep it going quite as well and often better than the full flame. Use a big flame to start soups, sauces, potroasts, stews and vegetables; then turn it low. These vlans should cook very slowly and simmering brings out the value better than boiling. When a pot has cooked enough, turn out the flame if you are not yet ready with the rest of the meal. It can be reheated in a moment. A yellow flame indicates that a larger proportion of gas is burning than is necessary. Just below the cock you will find a little cap. Turn this to the right or to the left until the flame burns blue. Doing this you admit air which, burning with the gas, will furnish a considerable amount of heat that you do not need to pay for. Keep your stove burners clean. If you note that the flame burns here and there with a small spark, it is a sign that the gas outlet is clogged. Clean it with a wisp of cotton twisted about the point of a hat pin. The metal retains heat for some little time after the lights are out. Consequently you can save gas by turning off the flame a few minutes before the dish is done. To keep food hot when the dippers are late without having it overdone, place an asbestos lid beneath the pot and lower the flame. These plates are only a few cents each, and they last in definitely. To keep several things warm, light one oven burner and set them all in the oven. As soon as the latter is warm turn the flame low. WAYS OF COOKING ONIONS Especially at This Time of the Year Is This Succulent Vegetable Relished Heartily. To boil onions, pour boiling water over them and remove the skins. Put them in boiling water which is pretty well salted and boil five minutes. Change the water again and boil until tender, which is usually in half an hour. Be careful to keep the onion whole if possible. Drain off the water, add milk enough to cover, season with butter, salt and pepper. Serve plain or as a garnish for meat. When baking onions, take large Bermuda onions and peel them and boil in salt water and milk until quite tender. Then place them in a baking-pan with butter on the surface and a little fresh milk. Bake until brown in a slow oven. To scallop onions boil and, if very large, cut into sections. Put into a shallow dish, cover with butter sauce and buttered crumbs and bake until a crust appears. To make onion sauce, take off the skins from a dozen small onions, white preferably; put in a pan with boiling water, cover and boil an hour. Then drain and pass through a fine colander. Make a white sauce, add the onions, boil up once and it is ready for use. This is capital with boiled chicken. POINTERS ABOUT GLOVES. A Woman Should Not Try in This Day of Easy Fit to Buy a Tight and Short-Fingered Glove. "Don't buy a glove that is too small," advised a woman buyer in one of the big department stores. "It not only cramps the hands, but it prevents grace of motion and gives poor service. "Not one-half of the women who come in here know what points to watch out for in buying gloves. I try to instruct my girls to inform customers, but a woman must be ripe for the knowledge through personal experience or the advice will not be appreciated. "Black gloves are generally less elastic than light colors. Dressed kid gloves usually retain their freshness longer and are more durable than suede. Short-fingered gloves give the hand a malformed look, and they soon break out at the tips or between the fingers. "Putting on a glove for the first time has no more to do with the fit and wear than almost anything else. Take time to fit them and, if possible, wear them a good half-hour before closing the fingers. Button the last button first, for the greatest strain naturally comes on the first." Damp Rooms. To ascertain whether or not a room is damp about a couple of pounds of fresh lime should be placed therein, after hermetically closing doors and windows. In 24 hours it should be weighed, and if the lime has absorbed more than about one per cent. of water, the room should be considered damp, and classed as unhealthy. The question of the dampness of dwellings is a frequent cause of dispute between landlord and tenant, and is naturally solved in the negative by the former. The question can be settled in the future by the test of hydration of lime, which will give irrefutable proof of the validity of such complaint. No Finger Rings. A writer in Harper's Bazar says that girls whose hands are not fully grown and formed should not wear rings. Many well-shaped fingers have been ruined by wearing rings which have gradually become too tight. If rings are worn by young girls they should be removed at night and the finger massaged. This is sensible advice, and it applies with additional force to young children. Next to earrings, rings are objectionable to the sight when worn by a child. A TRAINED NURSE Mrs Martha Pohlman Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Succeeds Where Others Fail. Mrs. Martha Pohlman of 55 Chester Avenue, Newark, N.

Against Rate Reduction. Atlanta, Ga.—The recent proposition of J.

These organizations employed an attorney especially to represent them, who urged that such a reduc- tfon would work against the prosper- ity of the state and lead to a reduc- tion in the number of railroad em- ployes as well as of their wages, The ‘Travelers’ Protective association also protested that a reduction as proposed would result in few trains and poor service.

V.1. “I” Jesus. “True vine.” He Js a contrast to the false, unfruitful Israel, and all human teachers, for he alone can send His own life into His branches. Moreover, as the ever-liv- ing Christ, He can extend His power to His people at all times. “Husband- men.” The owner, planter and culti- vator of the vine. | V. 2. “Beareth not fruit.” Some who are Christians in name show no likeness to Christ in their lives. ‘“Tak- eth away.” The vinedresser pinches off the excess of woody growth and su- Perfluous branches. So God removes those who hinder others from being fruitful Christians. “Purgeth.” Re- moves dirt, insects, dried twigs. Thus God removes bad habits from those who give their hearts to Jesus. Many of the Christian’s trials, and what he at first counts as losses, are God's pruning to prepare him for greater fruitfulness. V. 3. “Clean through the word.” ‘The disciples to whom Jesus spoke ‘were united by love to Him, and their previous bad habits and wrong ideas were removed by His teaching. V. 4, “Abide in Me.” If we want to be branches of Jesus, we must give our hearts’ tove to Him. “I in you.” We must open our hearts to receive Jesus’ love. Every day and hour we should love Him and rejoice in His love for us. “Cannot bear fruit of it- self.”". A branch cut from the vine may retain its color for some time, but it cannot possibly bear fruit. No more can any soul bear fruit that is pleasing to God or helpful to men, it it does not abide in Christ. He is the trunk and we are but the branches. If we are to be helpful in this world; if we are to do that which is pleasing in His sight, it must be through Him. V. 5. “Much fruit.” One who abides in loving union with Christ manifests in his life the fruits of the Spirit and thus becomes a source of great good to others, V. 6. “Cast forth, withered, burned.” A fruitless branch is cut off, and, after it withers, is burned. They who do not abide in Jesus are separated far- ther and farther from Him, V. 7. “Ask what ye will.” A first evidence of abiding union with Jesus is given by answered prayers. One who is in loving union with Jesus asks in His name (John 14:14), ayd wills to ask for just what Jesus wishes. V. 8. “Father glorified.” The world | sees little of God's glory, especially fails to recognize His glorious love, but it is brought before all vy a fruitful, Christian life. “So . . . disciples.” One must be a disciple—a learner—ot Jesus in order to begin fruit-bearing; then the more fruitful he is the more he learns of Christ. V. 9. “As the Father hath loved me.” The greatest love we can think of is that between the divine Father and Son, but Jesus says this is the measure of His love for us. “Con- tinue.” Abide, V. 10. “Keep My commandments.” A second fruit of abiding is obedience —the careful following of His diree- tions, We keep His commandments because we love Him; and then, the more we keep His commandments the more we love, the closer we abide in His love. V. 11, “These things spoken.” Jesus has taught all this for the express pur- pose of imparting to His disciples His “joy.” This joy springs from an tn- failing source, God Himself. This does not mean a selfish joy because we are saved, but the joy of acquaintance with God; joy in having a part in carrying out His loving purposes. “Your joy . - + ful.” The joy which Jesus im- parts, though full to-day, will be great- er to-morrow, as our capacity for re- ceiving it increases. Harthly trials and troubles will not diminish nor disturb it, V. 12. One more direction about at- taining this joy, becoming true fruit- bearing branches of Jesus, is: “Love one another.” In plain language Jesus says that the world will know, and we ourselves will kaow, that we abide in Christ, if we love each other in tho same way that Jesus loves us. As we live with Jesus in love, and abide in Him truly, then our joy will be full and will ever flow out in love, sym- pathy and helpfulness toward others.

My heart flattered and had regular ranning-away spells. ‘My stomach was so sore that I conld hardly bear a touch on that part of my ‘body. Thad a great deal of pain in the region of my liver and the dcctor said that organ was enlarged. My kidneys ached so at times that I could hardly stand.” _ “Didn't you give up and go to bed?” he was asked. , “No, I simply wouldn't. My head and my back ached dreadfully, but I obstinately dragged myself about, kept growing worse aud finally ran down to ‘almost nothing.” “ What did you do to get relief?” “First I tried a doctor, but he did me no good.

Bishop Turner's 25th Episcopal Anniversary Celebration AN APPEAL TO THE CONNECTION. To the Bishops, General Officers, Presiding Elders, Pastors and Laiy of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Greeting: Among highly civilized nations when a man has served his country faithfully as a statesman or a soldier for a quarter of a century, all those who have been recipients of results coming from the services rendered, embrace every opportunity to in some way express their appreciation for blessings that have come to their homes and their hearts; also to do honor where it is deserved. Indeed such acts indicate in each individual a high mark of civilization. In the Christian church the followers of Jesus Christ have in all ages been equally as expressive in their acts of gratitude to those who have made it possible for them to enjoy personal contact with the Holy Spirit, peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ and the hope of eternal life. When our Heavenly Father has set His seal of approval upon the work of such individuals for twenty-five years, it makes all thinking people feel like rushing to offer tributes of respect and do them honor. Thus it was with Pope Leo, when he had served his church as such twenty-five years he was presented with a crown that cost twenty-five thousand dollars. The report has just come to us that the Queen Dowager of China received on her birthday anniversary, the 12th day of February of the present year, ten million dollars' worth of presents, consisting of quantities of gold, precious stones, pearls, pink corals, bronzes, green jade stones, mechanical toys encrusted with diamonds and other valuable gifts. This we do not expect for the occasion that we present to you at this time, but refer to these as incidents representing the loyalty and devotion of the donors, and request that the ministry and the liaity of the A. M. E. Church and others who are really interested in the celebration of the TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CONSECRATION TO THE BISHOPRIC OF RT. REV. HENRY M. TURNER. D.D LL.D. of the said church to prepare to make it an event in the history of the church of his choice that will strengthen our love for God, faithfulness to duty, loyalty to the cause and devotion to the doctrine of Christ as enunciated by Methodism. We also ask that each congregation composing the A. M. E. Church hold services on the evening of the date of celebration and thank God for the good and great men that He has given to the church in general; to African Methodism in particular, and plead at a throne of grace for His continued blessing and protecting care upon all institutions, departments, congregations and individuals committed to His keeping. After this a programme prepared by the pastor and local committee of each congregation may be rendered, coarsing of music, songs, appropriate papers, addresses, etc. After careful deliberation and prayer the committee has concluded that in order to make the celebration a success and credit we appeal to the connection. The pastor of every station, circuit and mission is requested to contribute amounts ranging from one to five dollars, or any amount feasible, and send the same to the financial secretary, Rev. E. W. Lampton, D.D., 1541 Fourteenth street, N. W., Washington, D. C., who has been made treasurer of the committee on finance. All persons sending contributions will receive a copy of the programme. At the same time all those who are disposed may bring or send gifts, for what branch of African Methodism has not been benefited by and availed itself of Bishop Turner's counsel, his courage, his loyalty and undying allegiance? All presents should be sent by May 12, and addressed to Rev. W. D. Cook, D.D., 15 North Leffingwell avenue, St. Louis, Mo., as St. Paul's of that city has been settled upon as the most appropriate place for this celebration, since the Missouri conference was the first of which the bishop was a member, and St. Louis was the place where he was elected and ordained to the bishopric. The celebration will be held May 18-21, 1895. This is in keeping with the resolution offered by Rev. A. J. Carey, D.D., and passed by the general conference in May, 1904. The programme for this occasion will be out in the near future. A. Grant, chairman, 502 Washington avenue, Kansas City, Kas. John M. Henderson, 1 Ramsey street, Boston, Mass. R. H. W.

Barnes, one of our most successful agents. It has been many years since his connection with the Palladium, and from the first day to the present time we have had the very highest regards and respect for him. He has been employed in the Missouri Safe Deposit Co. for twenty-one years. He has proven to be one of their trusted employees and his connection with the Central Baptist church for eleven years, and his attention to his Christian duties has won for him the admiration of the pastor and members the highest respect. Out of eleven years as a member of the church he has missed only two Sundays at the Sunday morning prayer meeting and other services of the church. Whenever there was a call for the members of the church Mr. Barnes was chosen as one of the leaders and always brought in the largest amount of money. He has been an officer of the church, and always won the respect and admiration of all. Our dealings with him have proved that a more truer man does not exist. He now sells from 35 to 50 papers every Saturday, and we ask for him the patronage of the good people of St. Louis.
