The Appeal

AMONG THE IMMORTALS All Nations of the World Have So Written Abraham Lincoln LINCOLNS GET TYSBURG ADDRESS OUR SCORE and seven years ago our Bathers brought forth on the continent a new nation conceived and dedicated to the propagation that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, war, testing whether that makes or does nation go conceived and go dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great outward world that war. We have come to dedicate a position, a field, as a final resting place for those who have given their lives that that nation might live is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a longer sense, we cannot dedicate we cannot conquer—we cannot hollow—this ground. The known men, living and dead, who strugged here, have conquered their own power to add to detriment. The world will title note now long remember what we say here but it can never forget what they did. They did for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they might have done, so nobly accomplished. Rather than us to be here dedicated to the great task now remaining before us—that some those inspired dead we take increased devotion to that cause, which they drove the last will, measure, devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation, under Good, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people by the people, shall not perish from this earth.

We know how Abraham Lincoln saw himself. Lincoln's estimate of Lincoln was a very modest, humble and moderate one. We know how other people now see Abraham Lincoln in the light of the translations of his actions by results and by time. We can reverently believe that Abraham Lincoln as God saw him brought neither reproach nor contradiction, to say the least, to the conception of him by the people of the earth, when they came to understand him in the light of the events to which he will ever be sublimely related in human estimate. While his is a fame and a service this republic for manifest reasons, mainly remembers and observes, all nations of the world write him among the immortals, and the ascent of every one of them to better things is sympathetic to the force and the fragrance of his career here. He is gradually becoming idealized. That is not to be regretted. His idealization is only that revelation of idealism from the skies to men, as God saw him when the heavens received him out of our sight. We are glad our government and our people make his birthday a holiday. We are aware that it is difficult to hold the observance of his birthday to solemn ceremonies or within memorial services. That is the law of the effect of holidays among free people, the distances in time increases from the past to the present. The significance is less in the celebration of the time than in the fact of setting it forth by law and by sentiment as a holiday at all. Quality Which Made Lincoln Popular and Lovable. Perhaps Lincoln's most winning quality with young and old alike was his sincere belief in his fellow townmen and their community, says Fredick Trevor Hill in the Century. Local pride never had a more buoyant champion than he. For him Sangamon county in general and New Salem in particular, was seized land, and he was confident that the people were equal to the task of developing it according to its needs. Thus when it was first suggested that the shallow, sangu-bound Sangamon river was navigable and might be made a great highway of commerce, he eagerly championed the theory and worked with voice, pen and hand to realize a practical result. The Sangamon is still unavailable and New Salem has disappeared, but Lincoln's plea for improving the waterway remains as evidence of his sincere belief in the future of the community and to show us what he could with a weak cause at the age of 23. The argument is not remarkable, but it is exceedingly interesting and suggestive. Although he was young and boyishly enthusiastic, Lincoln did not overstate the possibilities nor unaware the difficulties of his case, attempt which the really laughable attempt to force the passage of the Sangamon there was nothing ludicrous in his plea. What he claimed sounds reasonable, and what he hoped for possible, even in the face of failure. This early effort plainly indicates Lincoln's natural aptitude for logical statement. But it does more than that. It displays a trait which few lawyers possess; for the ability to present facts clearly, concisely and effectively without taking undue advantage of them is a rare legal quality. It requires not only ability, but courage; not only tact, but character. It is one of the infallible tests which distinguish the legal bravo from the jurist. That fact is in itself a transcendent tribute. Individuals will act according to their temperament or their conditions, but the nation as an individual, by suspending its business, by ceasing from its contentions, by bringing its activities of government to a halt on this birthday of its preeminent modern man, pays a triumphant crown of tribute to his work and to his people. He supreme and the universal homage. We trust that the idealization of Lincoln will always continue; that the endeavor to reduce the measurement of him will cease, or will never succeed. We have no sympathy with the petty endeavors which have been put forth to that effect in the case of Washington. The instincts of mankind have measured them small, who have tried to reduce the heroe appraisal of Washington in the allied interest of "truth." The endeavor has large souls, and the little ones it has listed have reduced even themselves by the endeavor. As it is with Washington, so should it be with his one peer in our history, whose anniversary is now at hand. The idealization of both gives us the real men. Puny efforts to impair that idealization affect not the proportions of the men any more than the slime of flies affects the stately columns on which flies may light—or crawl. Those of us who saw and met Lincoln in our boyhood are not yet far beyond the middle period of life. They can never feel that their experience in meeting him did not register the high water mark of their lives here. So felt those who, in former generations, met Washington. The two Washington, the grandest of human characters, and Lincoln, the most human of grand characters, should never be differentiated in the minds or hearts of Americans—Brooklyn Eagle. THE FOREFATHERS OF LINCOLN. All Pioneers and a Strain of Tragedy Rune, Through Thein History Hung through their History. Abraham Lincoln's forefathers were men—men who left their homes to open a way plain for others to follow them. For one hundred and seventy years, ever since the first American Lincoln came from England to Massachusetts, in 1638, they had been moving slowly westward as new settlements were made in the forest. They faced solitude, privation and all the dangers and hardships that beset men who take up their homes where only beasts, and wild men have had homes before; but they continued to press steadily forward, though they lost fortune and sometimes life itself in their hometowns. Back in Virginia and New Jersey some of the Lincoln had been men of wealth and influence. In Kentucky, where the future President was born, on Feb. 12, 1809, his parents lived in deep poverty. Their home was a small log cabin of the rudest kind, and nothing seemed more unlikely than that their child, coming into the world in such humble surroundings, was destined to be the greatest man of his time. True to his race, he also was to be a pioneer—not indeed, like his ancestors, a leader into new woods and unexplored fields, but a leader in the grander sort, directing the thoughts toward the right, and leading the American people, through difficulties and dangers and a mighty war, to peace and freedom. The story of this wonderful man begins and ends with a tragedy, for his grandfather, also named Abraham, was killed by a shot from an Indian's rifle while peaceably at work with his three sons on the edge of their frontier clearing. Eighty-one years later President himself met death by an assassin's bullet. The murderer of one was a savage of the foremost; the murderer of the other that fatally cruel thing, a savage of civilization. - From Helen Nicolay's "The Boys' Life of Abraham Lincoln, in St. Nicholas THE APPEAL. A GREAT AMERICAN --- A. B. the twelfth day of February, in the year 1809, was a day of great import to the United States, for it was on that day that Abraham Lincoln came into the world, says a writer in the Pittsburgh Dispatch. The place of his birth, unmarked to-day save for a rude flagstaff, was in Hardin county, Kentucky, known now as LaRue county. No great man was ever born into a humber home. Thomas Lincoln, the father of Abraham, had married a handsome girl named Nancy Hanks in 1806, and there was a little girl named Sarah in the family when the little Abraham was born. The homely little boy, born in the rude log cabin of a single room, that eventual day, came to an inheritance of his father, of which gave him a great deal of interest because he had also inherited a wonderfully cheerful spirit, and he had the happy faculty of seeing the humorous side of every situation in life. Lincoln was a boy of but seven years when his father, who had something of a restless spirit, followed a brother of his, named Joseph, to Spencer county, Indiana, and located I on a farm in the wilderness within a mile or two of Centerville. Abraham Lincoln was nine years old when his mother died in her home in the Indiana wilderness, and was buried in the rude casket her grief stricken husband had fashioned with his own hands. Left a widower with two little children to care for, it was but natural that he should want to give them a second mother, and after fifteen months of widowhood he fared back to Kentucky to marry a young widow with three children, Sally Bush Johnson, who was far removed from the typical stepmother. Lincoln grew to manhood in Indiana, seeing little of the great outside world, with the exception of such fleeing glimpses as he caught of it while working as boatman and ferry man on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. He earned the first dollar he ever possessed while working as a boatman. When he was about 19 years of age he hired out "to work the front oars" on a boat filled with produce, bound for New Orleans. He was paid the munificent sum of $8 a month and "found" for his services while on this trip. This was his first glimpse of the world of which he was to form such an important part in the years to come. He was 21 years old when he went with his father's family from Indiana to Illinois. Thomas Lincoln had been disappointed in his farming ventures in Indiana, and the future of that part of the state seemed unpromising while fascinating tales were told of the better opportunities for poor men "out in Illinois," and to the Sangamon country in "Illinois," the Lincolnons added their way in numbering wagons on the road to Louisville. With them Hanks, Levitt and Denis Hanks, who had joined Lincoln's step-sisters. During the spring of 1831, Lincoln and his step-brothers, John Johnston and John Hanks, engaged to take a floatboard for a Mr. Denton Oftiff, from Springfield, Illinois, to New Orleans. The start was to be in March, but when the three young boatmen reached Springfield the found that Oftiff had been discharged in get-together and he hired the three to build one for him. This boat was built on the Sangamon river seven miles from Springfield, and it was ready in four weeks from the time the first trees were felled for it. On this-rift Lincoln made his second trip to New Orleans. A little later in life, and after serv- A ing in the brief Black Hawk war, Lincoln kept store in New Salem, Illinois, and it was in this place that he fell in love and became engaged to pretty Ann Rutledge, a girl of seventeen years, who died soon after the engagement. This was a sharp blow to a man of Lincoln's affectionate nature, and years later he could not speak of it without tears in his eyes. It was after leaving New Salem and while studying and practicing law in Springfield that Linecoln met Mary Maitland who became his wife. She was of a courageous character in disposition, and there were plenty of lovers' quarrels during the courtship. Indeed, the engagement was broken, but it was finally renewed and the couple were married on the fourth day of November in the year 1842, and began their married life in Springfield. It would take many column; to give anything like a comprehensive account of the political career of Abraham Lincoln. It was almost inevitable that a man of his force of character, his patriotism and his interest in the welfare of the nation should drift into politics. We find him running as a candidate for the State Assembly of Illinois in 1832 and suffering a defeat that did not depress him in the least; it was after this defeat that he and a partner bought the store in New Salem. In 1834, Lincoln again announced himself as a candidate for the State Assembly, and there are old men in Illinois who like to tell of the queen but forceful speeches they heard him make as he rode about the country electioneering for himself. He did with triumphant results this time, for he was elected, and for eight years he was a member of the State Assembly of Illinois. Then his friends sought to have him become a candidate for governor, but this honor he refused because he had his eye on a seat in Congress and to Congress he went in the year 1847, after having been defeated as a candidate for the office of Congressman in 1842. After leaving Congress, Lincoln said that he had had enough polities; he had to devote himself entirely to the practice, and he adhered to this resolution for years. Then the slavery question became more and more one of multimillion importance and political discussion, and Lincoln felt that he must again enter the political field. The repeal of the Missouri compromise set him on fire, and it was a flame that expired only with his life. From the time that he re-entered politics in 1851 ```markdown ``` until the total fourteenth of April 1865. The army and the navy remain (to die for) His nomination for the presidency had been predicted before he had any aspirations for that office. When the subject was first broached to him he said: "What's the use of talking of me for the presidency whilst we have such men as Seward Chase and others, who are so much better known to the people, and whose names are so intimately associated with principles of the Republican party? Every body knows them; nobody scarcely outside of Illinois knows me * * * I am not insensitive to the compliment you pay me, but there is no such good luck in store for me as the presidency of the United States." "The good luck" was on the side of the United States when Abraham Lincoln was finally elected president. Not in all the union was there a man better fitted to hold that office during the perilous days of the civil war, and when the war was over the people felt that Lincoln was the only man who could heal the wounds of the country and bring peace and harmony out of the bitter strife that had lasted for four fearful years. His assassination filled the land with the gloomiest forebodings and plunged the country into the bitterest grief it had ever felt over the death of an individual. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

Washington. Feb. 7.—J. Milton Turner, Ex-Minister to Liberia, was presented to the President last Saturday and Representative Bartholdt and Finkenauer as a fit man for recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. The President did not give the Missouri people any encouragement, and told them that John C. Daney, the present recorder will be permitted to maintain the office and representative officers at Grace care Monday night. Mr. Shelby J. Davidson acted as toastmaster. The affair was very pleasant. Representative Powder, of New Jersey, chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency, Monday introduced a bill to provide for clean money. The bill enables any person or corporation to send worn out or mutilated United States currency to the United States by registered mail and to receive a change thereof new United States currency without postage or registration charge either way. This work was done by under the personal supervision of William B. Bollard Woods, the independent of the Capitol, with the result that the office is now modernly equipped and as near fireproof as it is possible to make it, the capacity of the office for storing records being more than doubled, being room for between 6,000 and 7,000 record hooks and official papers. The President has nominated William T. Vernon of Kansas for Register of the Treasury. The name was sent to the Senate Monday. The sub-executive committee of the National Afro-American Co. neil will hold its semi-annual meeting in this city next week. Robert H. Terrell, who was recently reappointed justice of the peace, requested to represent citizens at Grace care Monday night. Mr. Shelby J. Davidson acted as toastmaster. The affair was very pleasant. Representative Powder, of New Jersey, chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency, Monday introduced a bill to provide for clean money. The bill enables any person or corporation to send worn out or mutilated United States currency to the United States by registered mail and to receive a change thereof new United States currency without postage or registration charge either way. The Fifth Congress district of Virginia will be the seat of representation in the House for the rest of this session of Congress. Claude Swanson who was its Representative, has signed his seat in the House and is now governor of the Old Dominion. One reason for sending all the Afro-American Co. neil will hold its semi-annual meeting in this city next week. Many other improvements have been made by Recorder Dancy and the convenience and comfort of those examining the records added to in 1900, after having apparently viewed other improvements of the office, which it is his intention to put in operation during his second term. Dr. W. B. Evans organized the Armstrong Manual Training School in 1901, after having appointed as principal of Mott School for seven years. At present he is director of night schools. He is a graduate of the Howard University medical school and has conducted the Hampton Summer Normal School for Teachers for the past seven years. He was recurrent to the school, and has industrial school and designated to revise the course of instruction in order to put the school on a firm basis. The executive committee of the Afro-American Women People's Religious Congress will meet in this city on February 14 to complete arrangements for the meeting of the congress in Convention Hall, this city. August. At the meeting of the congress in Atlanta, Ga., three years ago, the delegates and friends numbered about 7,000, and it is believed that attending the meeting here next summer will be not less than 10,000. Col. Vespasian Warner, Commissioner of Pensions, has offered to build a library for Clinton, Illinois, his home, costing not less than $10,000. He will guarantee maintain it. He also agrees to give the site free. Mr. Daniel M. Jackson, of Chicago, recently appointed U. S. Consul at Salina Cruz, Mexico, was in the city this week receiving his instructions. He will sail from New York, February 10. Hen. Judson M. Lyons, Register of the Treasury, in a formal statement declares that an article published in a weekly newspaper in New York, writtens "the President would replace all Afro-Americans holding offices in the South by white men" its utine and without the indication of a foundation, so as it makes me the mother or sofar of that statement." Mr. Lyons adds: "No such policy as this was ever made known to me by the President or any one authorized to speak for him." The Niagara Movement has been incorporated. Freedom of speech and criticism, an unoffered and unusual press, manhood suffrage, abolition of all class distinctions, based on the recognition of the principles of human brotherhood, as a practical present, are given as some of the objectives to be advocated and promoted by the incorporation. The movement will also advocate the movement of the highest, and best human training as the monopoly of no class or race. It will strive to foster a belief in the dignity of Dion and for a united effort to realize these ideals under wise and courageous guidance. F. R. Dabois, Lafayette a M. Hershaw, and William H.

Prof. Horace Talbert, se-retary of Wilberforce University, at Xena, Ohio, visited the White House this week, and inviol President Roosevelt to attend the golden jubilee exercise of the institution, which begin on June 12 next. President Roosevelt stated that he would give his answer to the invitation later, being unable to tell whether he can attend. He was also carried to the President the thanks of the board of directors of the university; for the detailing of a feautenant of the Tenth Cavalry, a negro regiment, to drill the students of the school. $2.40 PER YEAR.

The Fifth Congress district of Virginia will be without representation in the House for the rest of this session of Congress. Chadie Swanson, the chair of the House, signed his seat in the House and is now governor of the Old Dominion. One reason for sending all the Afro-American regiments to the Philippines at this time, it is understand, that it is better stand a campaign in China in case of an outbreak in that country following the boycott against American goods. Mrs. Anna J. Cooper, principal of the M street high school, was trained at Wilberforce college and the St. Augustine Normal School. Mrs. Cooper was appointed in 1887 and has been principal of the M street school since 1901.

Armenians have been made by Secretary Locis for a reception at the White House Wednesday, February 14 at 2:33 o'clock p. m. to a dedication from the Manassas industrial School. Washington was well represented at the great suffrage mass meeting at Cooper Union, New York. Strong speeches were made by Mrs. Mary Church Tervell, Hon. George H. White and Prof. Kelly Miller. The consensus of opinion in Washington is that the man to succeed Hon. R. R. Hitt, who will retiring, is Col. Frank O. Lowden. He can have the place if he wants it and it is generally believed that he will accept the nomination. The election of Col. Lowden would mean that the Illinois delegation in Congress would be kept at its present high standard. Dr. Booker Washington of Tuskegee, will address the meeting of the Manassas Association at the First Congregational Church 10th and 6 streets, the evening of February 14. Representative William Alden Smith of Michigan has completed arrangements for the annual Lincoln dinner at Grand Rapids, Mich., on February 16, 2014, to host a master General B. C.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1906. PHYSICIAN HEAL THYSELF. At Savannah, Georgia, recently, in a charge to the grand jury Judge Cau- n used the following language: "When we come to consider crime in this community we are met with a peculiar condition of affairs. "The white population is about equally divided in territory, yet about 90 per cent of the higher crimes or felonies which our courts are called upon to investigate are charged to Afro-Americans. The cost to the 900 tax-payers alone is about $100,000, the total amount expended for all purposes county government. This enormous sum is taken from the pockets of the low-abiding tax-payers. Cannot something he does to at least reduce this cost be done to at least reduce this cost? "The same suggestion be offered to aid in removing this reproach to the Afro-American race? Cannot the lawbinding Afro-Americans inaugurate and prosecute vigorously a crusade to remove this reproach? We feel it can be done through work among the leading Afro-Americans in a hearty co-operation of the whites. The foregoing is temperate, well-considered language and merits thoughtful consideration. It should be considered is whether or not the statement is true—whether it points out a merely local condition or appears to be a general one. We know that the average of 90 per W. H. SENATOR SHELBY M. CULLOM. One of the few men now living who knew Abraham Lincoln before he became a national character. He sat at the feet of Lincoln and drank inspiration from that noble soul. Shelby M. Culom comes of that hardy race of adventurous pioneers who having made Kentucky famous, pushed across the border into the fertile countryside of central Illinois. The type stands for honesty, endurance, courage and ability. Kentucky stock in Illinois has impressed itself deeply on the material development of the State, and has contributed seven governors of Illinois, four United States Senators and a President of the United States. cent is not general: that in many localities it is much less. But admitting that abatement, it is undoubtedly true that the percentage of crime among the illiterate is much higher. And it is equally true that the "law-binding Afro-Americans" can apply a remedy to a very limited extent: because the white man in the court is not the only element, in many cases, not the moral law-binding, self-respecting man or woman, but the one whom he can use as a tool or flunky. In many portions of the South, the white county examiners have self-respecting competent teacher, but he will hand him over a bribe, or the woman who will consent to illicit relations with him. In very many cases, the white officer gives the preference to the summer and harlot, and the decent woman or woman is relegated to the ream. The Afro-American race has hundreds of utterly corrupt leaders, men with litching palms, in the school room, in the pulpit, in every position; and they are placed in those positions by the white man's money and influence, much of the army men is accounted for. If the white man gives his "hearty cooperation" in eliminating these corrupt, graft seeking leaders, he will apply an effective remedy. But so long as he runs out so many Bigelows, Chadwicks, boodling legislators, scheming Philadelphia gratters, theish Missouri and Indiana secondaries, theish Kentucky and Kentucky secondaries; so long as he "Opens the gates as high as the sky" to Italian lazzaroni, Stellan banditti and Russian anarchists, to lepers, paupers and criminals; there is not much hope of the Afro-American gaining much from his "hearty co-operation." --- The question, whether or not the white brother is benefited by higher education, has never been discussed in the literature, and its importance demands, even neglected by such erudite philosophers as Tom Dixon and Governor Vardaman. But events are rapidly transpiring that must force attention to this point, and we will mention the following from a metropolitan journal: "The need for the education them a cause for the humiliation of Yale College. Exposed as one unworthy of trust as a fiduciary agent and subjected to severe public condemnation. Chaucey M. Depew of the University of Pennsylvania." "The Equitable Assurance Company. Brought into court and charged with blackmail. Thomas P. Wickes of the class of 1874 was found guilty by a jury, and remanded for sentence."

We are of the opinion that if the foolish experiment is repeated that the results will be even more disastrous than the good old days. The slums of London are not renowned for breeding virtuous and industrious citizens, but rather those of the Jack the Ripper type. Moreover, the denizens of that locality know as much of farming operations as they do of higher criticism. Blame the good old days. The slums of New York or Chicago? A Kentucky Presbyterian journal says that William Lloyd Garrison was "one of the most mischievous men in the world," who was neither a Christian, a patriot, nor a philanthropist. "And the world will say that the Kentucky editor never was and never will be a Christian," Garrison's shoe. The defects of the editor's education and early training were and are too serious to be overcome by sense or reason. Such unfortunate derelicts should be pitted. J. HENRY O. TANNER. The Famous Author Now Residing in Patriot Park. A Virginia stateman, Senator Patterson, magnanimously gives the world the following remarkable information: "The attempt to educate the Afro-American has been a dismal failure.

THE GIVES HIS PROMISED HISTORY OF THE TROUBLES IN ST. JAMES, CHURCH. And furnishes a Terrible Arrangement of Bishop C. T. Shaw, Presiding Elder H. H. Thompson and Rev. R. Seymour for Unchristian Conduct. Two weeks ago I said I would give a complete history of the trouble between Rev. R. Seymour and the people of St. James' A. M. E. Church, St. Paul. I will try to make good that promise. Rev. Seymour came to St. Paul on Sunday morning, October 9, 1944, and on Monday night, October 10th, the church held a conference of the official board at that time) held a conference with him and agreed upon his salary, etc. The salary was fixed at $80 per month and a house to be furnished for him to live in. He was to furnish his own coal, furniture, etc. He received his salary until Nov. 19, 1946, before he began to take the collections himself. The story is a long one and I will tell it just as it is without injecting any unnecessary trimmingls. The trouble began about March 19, 1965, when Rev. R. Seymour asked me to take him to Anderson at Chicago. My refusal to do so did not suit him and he started to get me out of the way, and I stepped aside and he plunged headforemost into a sea of trouble; but what is trouble to this man who boasts that Bishop C. T. Shaffer is his personal friend, and, I suppose, his friend. And, I suppose, having the Bishop is still his friend. I have no doubt of this since the Bishop's visit to St. Paul. In June, 1905, he asked for and received a letter from the Trustees of St. James' A. M. E. Church, authorizing him to solicit money for the work he had done to help the church or Trustees of the money collected. He and his assistants collected money for the care of the Conference, and I have reasons to believe they collected enough or more than enough to cover all expenses. He also paid for the work made to private $217 for this expense. He paid some of the bills since that time out of money that was raised on Thanksgiving Day. The Trustees asked him on or about October 20, to make a report of all the money he had received and urged him to meet this request with silent contempt. On or about November 17 they asked him about the matter again and urged him to make a report, as there had been numerous remorses about the matter, then he inquired about the business, and he started to get them out of his way. On Sunday, November 19, 1905, he had a motion passed giving him and two of his friends authority to purchase coal for the church, and in less than two weeks he had a bill for himself and the church, which he had been and some time afterward. Thus he used the credit of the church to get coal in his own. n for on the very day the Bishop was here, January 22, 1906, an agent was around hunting someone to pay his coal bill. Read the charges and you will not wonder at what Dr. D. A. Graham of Detroit, Michigan has in his article on "The A. M. E. Church is in the face of the Death, that 'Drunkards, seducers, and I will add liars 'are transferred around the country and kept in good places." Charges of Messrs. Morgan, Strong Adams and Dillingham. I. Thomas R. Morgan, a member of St. James A. M. E. Church of St. Paul, Minn., do hereby charge Rev. R. Seymour, with having committed a crime expressly forbidden by the word of practice sufficient to exclude a person from the grace and Glory. That is to say: — Specification 1st:—That the said Rev. Seymour did falsely, maliciously and slanderously put off, utter and publish a certain false, malicious and audacious statement in the newspaper, published in the City of St. Paul, Minn., in the issue of said paper Saturday the 30th day of December, 1905, which said false statement was in the words and figures following, to-wait: — had Mr. Morgan and Mr. Strong order that he and coal amounting to $17.88 for which he taking their receipt therefore. Now the Jones & Adams Company presents a bill for $4.75 to the church to be paid and the $17.88 is included in the church's bill to be paid again. That said above statement was wholly false and slanderous. Specification 2nd;2:1 do further charge the Rev. R. Seymour with having failed and neglected to strenuously execute all the rules of said E. Church against fraud as named by the Court of Section 8, page 182, of A. M. E. dissection in that if the article published as hereinbefore set forth in Specification 1st, is true, the said Brothers therein mentioned, Morgan and Strong were and are guilty of a fraud and no com­promise to the proceedings have been taken against the officer of them. Wherefore I do pray that the said Rev. R. Seymour be placed on trial for the above offense and that he be dealt with according to the laws and rules of our A. M. E. Court. The charges of Mr. J. S. Strong were just the same as those of Mr. Morgan. St. Paul, Minn., January 17, 1906. I. Joseph Adams this 17th day of January, 1906 do hereby prefer a charge against Rev. R. Seymour passage, and Church St. Paul, Minnesota, for insurrectional action. I. For being and causing the broken up between the members of St. James A, M. E. Church, maliciously and unjustly without cause. I. making a false statement and being and causing the names of members and offices of St. James A, M. E. Church to be published in the papers without taking the first step of the great A. M. E. Church discipline and for violating acts as a minister of St. James A, M. E. Church, III. For not allowing the Trustees of St. James A, M. E. Church to have the management of the temporal affairs and on the Sabbath day to allow moves and seconds for lay members to go ahead of the Trustees and to allow without a cause or the right to meddle with their work. IV. And as a preacher having a bad report from his misconduct following up his name from other charges he has had in the past. V. That Rev. R. Seymour is and will be detrimental now and hereafter to St. James A. M. E. Church of St. Paul, Minnesota. VI. For coming to my house and bringing a false report about the Trustees in regards to them handling the moneys of the church. (Signed) Joseph Adams. St. Paul, Minn. January 11, 1906. To Bishop H. Shaffer and President E. H. H. Thompson: I John H. Dillingham; member of St. James A. M. E. Church of St. Paul, Minn. do hereby charge Rev. R. Seymour, with having committed crimes expressly forbidden by the word of God and of practice sufficient to exclude a person from the Kingdom of Grace and Glory. That is to say:— I that is to say—that said the Rev. I—that is to say—that the 19th day of March, 1905 ask me to wire a false statement to Rev. J. C. Anderson of Chicago, Ill. Specification 2nd:—That the said Rev. R. Seymour did on or about the 30th day of December. 1905 assures me of publishing and giving to the people of the city that that the cost of the parsonage was $2,435.00 and that we had in bank $1,040.00 of that amount, as there is no such statement in the booklet I received from the parsonage that he knew it at the time he made it. I also claim that the pretended interview wherein the said Rev. R. Seymour asked himself and answered himself some questions that were unanswered, and he was coming to a minister of the gospel. Specification 3rd:1—charge Rev. R. Seymour with making a false statement from the pulpit namely; on Declaration that he himself had prepared wherein he stated that five persons namely: John Jenkins, Geo. Bell, T. H. Lyles, J. C. Broyles and S. Bellelles of the affairs of the trustees that they found the financial affairs of the church in such a deplorable condition that they all resigned from the office of Trustees. There had been no one to take on the charge and Rev. R. Seymour knew at the time that he made this statement that the above named men had made no investigation into the financial affairs of the church. This statement was also unaccepted by a Christian minister of the gospel. Specification 4th:—That the Rev. R. Seymour stated to the congregation, December 21st, 1955 that Attorney F. L. McGhee had said in his (Rev. R. Seymour) presence and in the press (Rev. R. Seymour) presence and in the press (Rev. R. Seymour) known the facts in the case that he would not have brought the suit against the Trustees of the Church as there were no grounds for it. I claim that this case was not a claim that Seymour knew when he made it, this is unbecoming of a Christian minister of the gospel to make such false statements before his congregation. Specification 5th:—I claim that Rev. R. Seymour has justified his duty as a minister of the church by pointing a Steward's Board and certified the same to the Quarterly Conference since he has been in charge of St. James A. M. E. Church. There has not been during his time any regulation for this reason there has been much confusion in pursuing the proper course in preferring charges. Specification 6th:—I claim that there is now and has been for some time a violation of disaffection and dissatisfaction in the church. Wherefore I pray that this said Rev. R. Seymour be placed on trial for the above offenses and that he be dealt with. I pray that the laws and rules of our A. M. E. Church. (Signed) John H. Dillingham. Dear Bishop C. T. Shaffer and Presiding Elder H. H. Thompson:— I pray that you both or either of you recognize these charges and proceed to the law of the church, as there is no regular Stewards Board in St. James A. M. E. Church to refer them (Signed) John H. Dillingham. These charges were all put into the hands of Presiding Elder H. H. Thompson and Bishop C. T. Shaffer. What did they do? Each claimed that the proper channel and they must come by the way of the Steward's Board. Here is a wall to protect just such preachers as Dr. D. A Graham spoke of when they have a friend of the Elder and a friendly Bishop over them. Bishop C. T. Shaffer is a strong man when it comes to juggling with parlamency tactics in the interest of a friend, and he knows well how to work a majority into a minority, to keep down every opponent of his kind, and to abusing men. So the charges must come through the Stewards Board, and Rev. Seymour knew this as well as the Presiding Elder and Bishop C. T. Shaffer, but he was expecting trouble as he has had it before along his journey in the ministry. He would have been more interested in churches he has pastored, giving the location, denomination and names of each. When he leaves one he forgets it at the same time. He had no Stewards Board or official Board, although he had been there since October 1906. He ordered that coal and paid for it according to his slanderous charges on Mr. Morgan and Mr. Strong) until January 18, 1906, when he and Presiding Elder H. H. Thompson held a secret Quarterly Conference with nobody present but Seymour and his friend. He was not interested in Stewards. Nobody knew who they were until Monday night, January 22, when he set them up before the Bishop. Rev. Seymour had to have a Board of Stewards before his friend the Bishop came to St. Paul. This was a strong card and his friend the Bishop was a strong card and here again I thought of what Dr. D. A. Graham says about some Bishops in our church. See Specification 5 in my charge and then read chapter 7, page 396 of the discipline of the A. M. E. Church and also pages 238 and 239. Rev. Thompson's Visit to St. Paul. Presiding Elder H. H. Thompson arrived in St. Paul, January 12, 1906 and was placed in the care of one of Rev. Seymour's lady friends, who bore the name Seymour's friend and he is her friend The Bishop had written T. R. Morgan that he would have Rev. H. H. Thompson come here from Milwaukee to see if he could settle the trou- continued On Third Page. Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Some Hall. Girl's Hall. Model Home.

Seymour and he ‘would not do anything as there were no charges filed. He was informed that there was no Steward's Board to file them with and he then said fle them with him, that he was the man that would act. The charges were put into his hands in less than 48 hours. Did he act? Oh, no, he was in the hands of Rey. Seymour's lady friend and no one but such ax had Rev. Seymour's 0.

He said “Well Tam going to give everything over to the’ Bishop, he will Le here and he will act: (And he did act) Now my readers remember there was no Stewards up to this time. On this ight there Was atrial to put some members out of the church for taking part in the meeting mentioned above. Twill give a history of these trials as soon as Rey. Seymour gets through expelling and suspending members trom the chureh for nine months." Nine! moggs seems to have a‘great deal to db with Rev. Sey- ‘mour's life. Rev. ‘Thompson the Presiding Elder of this district stated he would be out of the city on the day and night of the 18th and that he would be in Hastings, Minn., so Rey. Seymour, the Bishop's friend, called a meeting for some trials for ihe 18th at 8 p. m. but what a surprise to the people when. they. opened the door’ upon reaching the hall on that night, there was the Presiding Elder—who had said that he would be out of the clty—in a small room and surrounded by Rev. Seymour and few of his friends and they put everybody else out as fast as they came in. It was here the secret Quarterly Conference was held which will stand as a dis- krace to this district as long as time Shall last, and the Steward's Board consisting of a few of Rev, Seymour's friends were confirmed. Rev. Sey- mour had to have this Board to give his friend the Bishop an excuse in hig favor. Not even’ the Secretary of the ‘Trustee Boanl was allowed to remain in this meeting and they would not. even pray until all. those who opposed Rev, Seymour had been put ont of the room. When he began to pray, I opened the door notselessly and tipped inside and 1 saw the Pre: siding Eller and Rev. Seymour on their knees, facing the door, and cach had both eyes wide open. When 1 entered the Presiding Elder said “Lord help usto watch as well as pray." and with one hand he_motion- ed me away and the Rey. Seymour said “Amen”. So the trick was com: plete and a few of the friends of Kev. Seymour were confirmed, and it is common beliet that Rev. Seymour did not pnt one man on the Board that would consider one charge or action against him. So the Presiding Elder H. H. Thompson and Bishop C. T, Shaffer said to the people that. no charges ‘can be acted upon unless they come through this Board. How Jong will the A. M2 Chureh stand under this ruling? No, Rev. Graham, it will not live 25 years. The Presiding Elder and Bishop C. ‘r, Shatter offered as .an excuse. for taking this stand for Rey. Seymour, that the ‘members of the St. Jame’s A.M. B, Church had complained of Rev. G. W. Gaines and had asked for his removal, but no one without of- fering an insult to Rey, G. W. Gaines would compare him with Rey. R. Sey- mour.. Rev. Gaines is a gentleman and a minister of the gospel of a high standing and he left no cloud on any home in St. Paul by making unusual visits at unusual hours and he never Collected any money and refused to Feport it, He was never accused of lying In the pulpit and he never wrote and published an article in a paper under the pretense of an interview in Which he’ slandered «his members. ‘Phere can be no comparison in this case at all, bet just notice how easy it was to get the Bishop to move a gentleman and Christian minister like Rev. Gaines and then notice how hard It is to get the Bishop to even consider charges of a very serious nature against his. frlend Rev. Sey- mour. ‘The petitiod to the Bishop asking for a preacher in Rev. G, W. Gaines’ piace, stated that there was nothing “against bis character and spoke of him as an_able preacher, but that his age Was against him: and that we wanted a younger man fas we hoped to build a new parsonage and a new cuureh in the near future. ‘Thore might hav> been a few other Nines in. the petition which I do not recall at this time, but the Bishop re- moved him.

The Supporting Members of St. James’ Church and Congregation Elect Trustees. On Thursday night a: meeting was held at St. James’ A. M. E. Church or the purpose of electing six trus: tees. ‘The meeting was an adjourned meeting of one held some weeks ago and George B, Lowe was chairman and T. R. Morgan, secretary. There was a large crowd present and all seemed much interested in the pro: ceedings. According to the laws of Minnesota, all persons who have een financial supporters of the’ church for shx months prior to an ‘election for trustees of an incorporated church society, are allowed to vote. Under the “envelope system” which has been in operation for a long time in the church under the contro} of the trustees, the secretary of the board had a complete list of such financial supporters and this list was used to determine who were eligible to vote. ‘This entire list was read by the secte- tary of the meeting and those whose names were called came forward and deposited thelr ballots. Tickets had been printed containing the names. of Joseph Adams, E. J. Willlams and Samuel Hatcher as trustees for_ the two-year term and A. J. Bell, H.C Minor and J. H. Dillingham as trus tees for the threeyear term. ‘The election was unanimous. In addition to the newly elected trustees three of the old trustees hold over until January, 1907. ‘They arc TR. Morgan, G. B, Lowe and J. 8 Sirong. The trustees will have. tui! charge of the temporal affairs of thc church, ‘At the conclusion of the election of trustees a resolution was introdvced stating that after Feb. 10, 1906, the pastor's salary be made $10° per month. The resolution was received with applause and was quicly ear rled. According to the by-laws of the church the salary shall be fixed by the members, and the attorney fot the church says the motion will hold good. Another resolution was intro: duced and carried to the effect thal the trustees adopt-by-laws in keeping with the statutes of the State of Min nesota, under which the chureh Is In corporated, After this resolution had ‘been pas sed several of the members wer: called upon for speeches, At _ thts Juneture Rey. Seymour left the base men and went upstairs into the main room of the church, calling upon the “true members of St, James’ Church to follow him.” A few responded and when they had left. the room the doors of the basement were locked. ‘A_vote of thanks was tendered tc R. C. Minor and J. H.

Ae DILLINGHAM enee with his friend Rev. Seymour who told him about the fire (not that I think he told all about it for Tbe Neve that Rev. Seymour could have told the Bishop more about that fire than any other living man). ‘The Bishop publicly criticised the ‘Trus- tees for not having the church ready before his arrival and would not al- low them to make any explanation. Did Rev. Seymour tell the Bishop that he had used every means within nis power to collect’ the insurance many times, and that he went to the insurance agents and told them that he was the only person to receive the money, and iuat he kept this up for about two weeks? After he had failed to collect the money himself ne had a committee appointed on Sun- day the 14th in the presence of the Presiding Elder and started out on the 15th for this insurance money again and in the meantime the Trus- tees had been doing all iney could to adjust the claim, and finaiiy on the ith the agents informed Rev. Sey- mour that they would not have any more to do with him, thai ne had made several different statements about the matter, and that they would only deal with: the Trustees. On the 17th the Trustees and insur- ance agents agreed on the damage and on the 18th a check was paid over, on the 19th the contract was given out and signed for the repair- ing of the church amounting to someching over $600, and here comes the Bishop on the 2ist greatly ex- cited and_ publicly eriticised the ‘Trustees for not having the church repaired on the 20th I suppose, or, was it really because he had come all the way from the Soxth to find that his friend Rev, R. Seymoar had hot collected the Insurance money? nt this was Rey. Seymour's first card and it had to be played, and he played another right in the presence of the Bishop, He had a young man to come up and join the church, and they made a great admiration ‘over this to show the Bishop that things were not as serious ‘as they seemed and that people desired to enter the Church. But did he tell the Bishop that, this young man wanted to join on the 19th of November and he was asked to open the doors of the church upon that day, bit he was too busy getting authority to buy coal to take time to open the doors of the church? ‘The Bishop's next statements were significant and unusual for a Bishop to make. He said that no man could bay him and if any man said or ac- cused him of being bought he would have to answer in the Courts of the land. My, this almost took my breath, still [ had hopes—but what is the Gifference in the cause of Christ if bias and unfair action Is purchased by triendship or by money? 1 know ‘cf a quotation that gocs something like this, “Greater love has no man than this that he lay down his lite for his friend,” but 1 would rather ‘give my life for my friend than my honor and disgrace a high office. The Bishop said there would be & meeting or Monday night the 22nd and that everyone having a charge would be heard but this meant a complete ex- posure of his friend Rev. R. Seymour and it had to be changed and it was changed. The Bishop preached a goal sermon on that Sunday and laid fyeat stress Gn the fact that the ob- ject of the church Was to save all inen. ‘The Bishop was laying the foundation to save bis friend on. the following night. If ever that silver pound Episcopal gavel was used against the interest and the chuse of Christ and the A. M. B. Chureh for and in behalf of a friend, it was used tn St. Paul, Minn, on that dark might January 22, 1906, by Bishop C. Shafter, ‘ On Monday at eleven ‘o'clock in the morning the Bishop held a three and a halt hour's informal talk with the Trustees, (while his friend Rev. Seymour was gathering up his follow- ers for the night meeting and inck uentally paying some of his coal bill, to get it separated trom the elurch’s bil that he had made at the expense Cr tae ehureh’s credit, for there had eon an egent hunting some one to yar WN). At the close of the (ali Nib the ‘Trustees, as they were leay- ing the hall, the Bishop said it would he a good idea to have some one or two: present, to represent the differ- ent sides ai the night meeting. He Qi not say the Trustee's side and the Stewards side, As the Trustees had no charges Bled as a body, it was sttp- pose! that he would have a hearing tithe people, who did have charges wgainst Rev, Seymour, and we agreed with this idea, but the Bishop tarned {his around ai the night meeting, to the great surprise of everybody pres: baz exeopting Rev. Seymour, | bis friend, who Was on_to the trick. That the ‘Trastees and Stewards (meaning ihe Stewards that ‘were ‘confirmed by the Presiding Elder in the secret Quarterly Conference) would get. to- Sether and select Someone to repre sent them and the person to repre Sent, them must be a member in good standing in the chureh, but this state ment sas changed. As it was first stated. the ‘Trustees could have se jected two to represent them, that had charges and had come prepared to talk on them, so when the Trustees asked the Bishop if they could select members of the church that were not fn the Board, the Bishop said “No ‘me tmless he be a member of the Board.” This wnderhand action had been well planned and well carried out by the Bishop, who looked with fire in his eyes and pointing with his left hand and holding “in his right hand the silver bound Episcopal gavel which was being desecrated trom its intended purpose and his voice sound. ol like a master speaking. to his slaves, Te would ery down every man and \oman. who attempted’'to say any- represent the Trustee's Board and was| not prepared for the occasion. Every: thing seemed to be going smoothly at this point in the interest of Rev. R- Seymour, but the members eried out against such proceedings and demanc- ed that others be heard. ‘There was rother Joseph Adams who had. filed charges, TP. R. Morgan and niyselt. ‘The Bishop met it all in the most austere manner and ruled them down and even called’ out that the men were not acting like gentlemen and” the Women were not acting like ladies. This did not stop them for they kept at. him and when he wanted Mr. Strong and Mr. Morgan to lay down. thelr grievances and make up with the pas- tor they refused to do so. ‘They said Rey. R. Seymour had slandered them and that they wanted an investigation of the matter. Mr. Strong made strong plea to the Bishop for fairness and told him what he had said about himself being as true as steel. ‘Then the Bishop in a most pathetic manner almost broke down and cried out “Brother Strong, I do Hot believe you are guilty of what Rev. Seymour has charged fou with.” He then dropped the silver bound Episcopal gavel and turned pointing to his friend, Rey. R. Seymour with his right hand, with trembling voice, which almost brought tears to the eyes of all present. and ried out again “How ean I destroy this man? “If T id 1 vould never look his dear wife in the face again.” This told the whole story and he ought. to have made a complete confession that he came to St. Paul, not to save. St. James A. M. H, Church, but to save iis friend, Rev. R. Seymour. When the audience had fully realized the sig- nifleance of this confession by. the Bishop they became. disgusted and crfed out to those who were clamour- ing to be heard “What. is the use? The Bishop came here to save his friend, Rev. R. Seymour and not the Church." Although T would not_be- lieve Rev. R. ‘Seymour under ‘oath T must give him credit for making one trutheul siatement and that. was the statement he made on the 17th of De cember when he said that Bishop C. "T, Shaffer was his personal friend, and he certainly. told one. truth. ‘After Mr. Strong and Mr. Morgan re- fused to lay their grievances down and den:anded a complete investigation, the Bishop appointed a committee to in- vestigate the matter but instructed them that the report musi not be made public, think of it, the idea of Rev. R. Seymour publishing a. false and slanderous pretended. interview in ‘wiifeh he slandered these two men and yet the investigation was to be kept Secret, The Bishop believing that Rev. Seymour had slandered them demands Uhat the Investigation be Kept secret, Rev. Graham, I doubt if the on church Will live 13 years under suteh. ruling, This committee met on the. 25th just two day after the Bishop left the city. Mr, Strong and Mr, Morgan presented to the. committee’ indisputable evi- dence orer Rev, Seymour's own signa- ture. that he, Rev, R. Seymour, had published a false and slanderous state- Ment against them, ‘Little did Rev. Seymour think when he Was signing receipts for coat in Jantiary, 1903, that the receipts wouldibe hauled out ftom among thonsands and laid before the eyes to prove that he had made false Statements and he had to confess it ‘Thus the Bishop alls this Greck meet: Ing. Greek Int it looks more like a falsifler and a slanderer meeting hon: est men end women. Rev. R. B. Wil- Son of Minneapolis, was at the head of ‘he Committee and if he has reported his finding to the Bishop, he, the Bish- ‘op, knows at this time that the Rev. R. Seymour slaudered these two men in his presence and before the audience on the night of the 22nd, at the very tims the Bishop was lowering the standard of his high office to. save him, Now if Bishop C. 'T. Shaffer Knows this, and if Rev, 1 1. Wilson has made his report, what wili he do? The members and iviends of the St. James A.M. B. Church throughout the: land ought (o demand that the eer lay. aside bis sympathy for Rev. K. Seymour's wife and preform his duty as Bisliop of the A.M. E. Church: Surely the Bishop will not stand up any longer for this man when he cm hot himself give his ‘ministerial ree- ord, although the people demanded it of him when he started owt to speak of Rev. R. Seymoitr's record as a pas for. He only tamed Detroi... Mich., bt 1 doubt. it there is much there to| boast_of.. When the audience asked the Bishop to name other churches that ftev. Seymour had pastored, le te- fused. How can a Bishop of our great church stand up for a preacher when he, himeelf cannot give his ministerial record? Cer-ainly not if he is honest and faithful to his duty. Now under the rulings of the Pre- siding Elder and the Bishop. The Pre- siding Bider’s rulings were that a Steward held his office for one year an if no one was appointed in his place the office was vacant at the end of the year, then under this ruling every Steward, that was appointed by Rev. Gaines, ime had. expired after that first official meeting of Rev. Sey. mour, held Oct, 10, 1904. ‘The Pre- siding Elder had held five Quarterly Conferences before that secret one'that ‘was held January 18, 1906, and. he Knew or he ought to have known that there was no Stewards Board in the St, James A. M. B. Church all. this time, And Presiding Elder ‘Thomp- son says that no charges could be plac- ‘ed in his hands by an accuser if they had not come through the Stewards Board, and he knew that there was none in the St. James A. M. E. Church at the time of this rullng. Bishop C. ‘T, Shaffer ruled that Presiding Elder H.-H. Thompson was right and he ‘also ruled that. he would not consider ‘any charges tnless they came through ‘the Stewara’s Board and official board A ) - JN |modern EE !
