CONG. STEVEN'S CALLS ON PRESI DENT TAFT Who is Impressed With the Record of Attorney Francis of St. Paul. Advice received from Washington states that just prior to leaving for St. Paul, Congressman Stevens made a final call upon President Taft relative to the appointment of Attorney W. T. Francis as Minister to Haiti, presenting additional letters of indorsement. Mr. Taft stated that he was much impressed with the record of Mr. Francis' high character and ability, and the very strong indorsements which he had received, but that owing to the state of affairs in Haiti at present—that Republic being torn by internal strife—the Secretary of State had requested Dr. Furniss to remain for a while longer because of his familiarity with present conditions. The following letter from Mr. L. T. Chamberlain, formerly Assistant General Counsel of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, at St. Paul, but now in California, is one of the very strong letters referred to the President by Congressman Stevens in Mr. Francis' behalf, and is among the many indorsements of which he can be justly proud: Los Angeles, Calif., June 24, 1911. Hon. F. C. Stevens, Dear Mr. Stevens: I hear that you have recommended the appointment of Wm. T. Francis, of St. Paul, Minn., as Minister to Haiti. No better appointment could be made. For more than fifteen years, while I was Assistant General Counsel of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, at St. Paul, Mr. Francis was associated with me in the Legal Department of that Company. Indeed, he was in the Department several years before I went there. During that time he worked his way from a minor position in the office to the Chief Clerkship, studied law and was admitted to the Bar of Minnesota and filled every place with such complete satisfaction and ability that his promotion could not be denied. He is a cyclopEDIA of information concerning affairs of the Legal Department and the Northern Pacific Railway Company. He is personally and financially clean and honest and absolutely reliable in every way. He seems to be a natural adviser of his people, as they come to him for guidance in political, business and social affairs. He is discrete and diplomatic and is a gentleman at heart as well as in his address. He knows when he is sure he is right and he knows when he is in doubt and needs counsel. He "carries the message to Garcia" every time. He is a good man and a good citizen, and fully capable by nature and education to fill the place for which you have recommended him. If this letter will assist the appointment in any way, please use it. Accept my continued regards and best wishes. Yours very truly, L. T. Chamberlain. Mr. Stevens informed the President that he would be personally pleased if recognition could be taken of our Colored Citizens in Minnesota by the appointment of Attorney Francis.

The Sunday School Picnic by the schools of the Twin Cities at Minneaha Park was a grand day for all. The young people had a good time, enjoying their games etc., and there was a re-union among the older classes which is of itself one of our greatest social gatherings and is looked forward to always with great interest. The day was ideal, and each Sunday school turned out its full quota to enlargen the crowd and enliven the occasion. After the rains the picnic grounds were in fair condition and many a brave Hiawaha and fair Minneaha wandered down "where the falls glistened in the twilight. A visit to the Sunday School picnic is the only chance to see the young scions of our race and to study our "rising generation," of which we are proud.

He was the yungest son of Wm. H. and Jennie Dallas. His father was a member of the Quincy Police Department and was killed while routing a band of thieves who were secreted in a barn. It was said that it was a put up job to get rid of him. At the time of his father's death, he was a baby in his mothers arms, and he had often remarked that it was his desire to find the man who killed his father. His mother married the late Rev. W. C. Trevan at Quincy, Ill., while he was pastor of the A. M. E. church, later moving to Springfield, thence to Chicago, where she died. She was A. H. Died at Williston, N. D. May 19. buried at Quincy, Ill. Her two sons, George and William were left in care of their grandmother, Mrs. Mary Walker, who gave them the best of care and home training. His brother George died at the age of 26 years. William before he grew to manhood, had learned the butcher's trade, and was the support of his grandmother. Upon request of the citizens of Quincy he was offered a place on the Fire Department, but he refused it, to enlist at the call for volunteers for the Spanish-American War. He was one of the organizers of Co. I. 8th Ill. Vols., and served as 1st Sergeant under Capt. Fred. Ball. He was promoted to the rank of Second Lieut. on Oct. 29, 1898 and later commissioned as First Lieut. in Nov. 25, 1898 receiving his commission from Gov. Jno. R. Tanner. He served with his regiment at Cuba. Being of a saving disposition, he had managed to accumulate quite a sum of money which was invested in a stock company formed by the ex-members of the 8th, who were to go to Cuba and buy land and machinery to grow and grind sugar-cane. The company failed, and Mr. Dallas had lost all that he had. But he had learned a lesson, and he again started to work with renewed courage. He was employed in a bank at Quincy for two years as Messenger and he won the respect and confidence of his employers. But he had made up his mind to become a landowner, and he moved to Petersburg, N. D., where he formed a partnership with Mr. J. W. Brown. They opened a shop, billiard parlor and confectionery store and were the only Negroes in the town. After this venture he went to Salt Lake City and worked for the Pullman Co., running to Butte, Mont., after leaving the railroad service he was employed at the Elk's Club in Salt Lake. Through his correspondence with a white friend of his, Mr. Lester Wright, he was advised to take up a claim at Williston, N. D., which he did. He filed his claim and came to Minneapolis where he resided with his step-brother, Mr. J. C. Trevan. and worked for the Great Northern Ry. His ability won the admiration of his superintendent Mr. Chase, who sent him in charge of a special of 8 sleeping cars from Havre, Mont. to San Francisco. His services were highly appreciated by the party, and they sent a letter of recommendation to his Supt. which is on file in the office of the G. N. Ry. His ability had won for him the best there was in the service, and he was relieved at intervals, when he went to Williston and worked his claim. He began his farm life 1906, by opening up 5 acres of wheat land. (Cont. to page 2. col. 2.)

He was operated on about 5 years ago by Dr. McDonald in St. Paul. He was com- plaining while visiting his step-broth- er, Mr. Trevan at his residence dur- ing April and May. ‘On recuest of the Elks of Williston he returned to accept the steward- ship of their Club, as all of his in- terest was centered there, and the best citizens of the town were classed as his friends. He had been home just one month when he was taken to the Hospital where he uriderwent, an operation on May 15, and died on May 19th. He was buried at Wil- ston, N. D. He was a lover of base ball, theatres, and a good fellow. But the glare of the electric lights did not hold him in the city long. He wished for the farm, where he could get ahead. How much better off we would be 8 a race if we were to follow. his pxample and “get out into the coun- ry,” take up some land and stick to it. Mr. Dallas had made his mark as A prosperous farmer, and he wanted every one he met to “Come to Dako- a." He always sald that “the boys in the Twin Cities are living in a paper bag.” Many of them have had opportunities to invest when they made good money, and the struggling whités who invested there have be- come, in late years, some of our rich- est citizens, Mr. Dallas was a man who was well liked, an noble personality, and honest in his dealings, He was of a sympathetic nature, always ready to lend @ helping band. The life of the young man is worthy of emulation, and in life he caused many of his race to invest their earnings in land. He has set an example which is being followed by many with great success. Al- though he was cut off before he had reached the heights of his ambition, his life work lasts as a shining mark, showing what can be accomplished by us, if we make the attempt. “He had not passed on life's high- way the stone that marks the highest Point; but, being weary for a mo ment, he lay down by the wayside and, using his burden for a pillow, fell into that dreamless sleep that kisses down his eyelids still.

A real fraternal feeling is rapidly growing among the two Masonic bodies in St. Paul, and it cannot be made to strong. On the level it’s the square thing to do and plumb foolish to do otherwise, Since the election of Mr. Francis as Worshipful Master of Pioneer Lodge and Mr. Melchor of Perfect Ashler Lodge the Lodges are coming closer together. Negroes must “GET TOGETHER” and stick and the Masons are no ex- ception to the rule. When you hear a Negro Mason talking against an- other lodge he has forgotten his oblt- gation and should be reminded of it. Forget the past, wipe off the slate snd work together.

ADVERTISE—IT HELPS, Race prejudice in America, while contrary to reason and equity, has ac- complished one great and necessary 00d for the Negro. It has served as a stimulus to more determined effort and fe now on the verge of accom- plishing race solidarity to a greater extent than has ever before been ex- Istent. God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform, and what we consider hardships are often dlessings in disguise, It ia sometimes wise to punish a man in order to awaken his latent energies and the same is true of races. Those who suffer most become the strongest be- cause they have triumphed over hardships. The rosy path in life is not conducive to the development of latent power and the thorny path of Prejudice has done more to stimulate Negro effort than anything else. There will come a time when this prejudice must fall and go the way of all other discarded implements: of cfvilization and that time 1s not far away. The Negro is making good— Yonkers (N. Y.)

Large and Influential Church In Baltimore Makes New Financial Record by Raising $6,510.31 at Rally—Founded Over a Century Age—Pastored by Many Eminent Divines. By FRANKLIN P. JOHNSON. Baltimore—Bethel A. M. E. church recently closed one of the most remarkable rallies ever held in a Baltimore church 'the rally opened when the congregation moved into its $90,000 home, Druid Hill avenue and Lanvale street. Churches of all denominations joined in the effort to make the rally a success, and of the $6,510.31 raised $2,317.46 was contributed by other churches and societies. Bethel church is one of the oldest congregations in the country. It had P. REV. DR. D. G. HILL. its inception in 1285, when a number of coloured men withdrew from the H. E. church When it was incorporated in 1811 the membership was 600. Rev. Daniel Coke., who was the leading spirit in the early activities of the church, was at one time elected to the bishopric, but declined the office. The church grew in numbers and influence, and on or about its fifteenth anniversary the congregation erected on Saratoga street what was considered for many years the finest church structure owned by colored people in this country. The edifice seated over 1,200 people, and were it not for the fact that the colored population had drifted to the northwest section of the city and that other churches had been set apart by Bethel the congregation would still be located in its old home. Nearly every movement of any importance to the colored people in this city and state had its inception in Bethel church, and for many years it was regarded as the forum of the people. Among its pastors have been the foremost men of the denomination. These men include the late Bishops THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIAN WORSHIP BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH. Daniel A. Payne, John M. Brown, James A. Shorter, A. W. Wayman and Edward Waters, Theophilus G. Steward, retired chaplain of the United States army; Bishops James A. Handy, Benjamin T. Tanner, C. T. Shaffer and Levi J. Coppin and John Hurst, financial secretary of the denomination. The negotiations for the present new home of the church were begun during the pastorate of Rev. A. L. Galnes. When Rev. D. G. Hill became pastor of the church the negotiations were resumed with the result that a piece of property that cost $125,000 to build was secured for $00,000. Dr. Hill, the present pastor, is a native of Hagerstown, Md. After receiving a preliminary training in the schools of that city and at Storer college, Harpers Ferry, W. Va., he entered Lincoln university, where he received the degree of bachelor of arts in 1886. Among the members of that class were Harry W. Bass, a member of the present Pennsylvania legislature, Dr. George C. Hall of Chicago and City Councilman Harry S. Cummings of Baltimore. Dr. Hill then entered the theological school of his alma mater, graduating in 1880. During the twenty years he has been a member of the Baltimore conference he has been regarded as one of its most influential members. He has served as pastor of the Metropolitan church, Washington; presiding elder of the Hagerstown district, and pastor of the Trinity and Bethel churches, Baltimore. He served a number of years as secretary of the conference and for the past five years has been treasurer of the same. He is regarded as a model minister of irreproachable character. Dr. Hill has a large family, presided over by Mrs. Margaret Peck Hill, one of the most active religious workers in the state. COSMOPOLITAN SOCIETY. President Miller and D. M. Webster Give Facts About Amalgamation. The subject for discussion at the April meeting of the Cosmopolitan society in Brooklyn was the "Blending of Japhetic and Hamitic Blood In the Southern States." President George Frazier Miller presided and in the course of his introductory remarks cited many cases of which he knew in Charleston, S. C., New Orleans and other southern cities where amalgamation has been practical for generations and exhibited over fifty photographs showing the various types of progenic amalgamation, which varied from the Indian to the blue eyed Anglo-Saxon type. He told of a family in Charleston where one brother was white and the other colored, and yet the family recognizes each of them. Counselor D. M. Webster, the next speaker, said that at the close of the war there were 4,000,000 of known colored people and thousands whose identity has never been accurately recorded. This question of color, said he, is no longer confined to the south. The north is becoming more and more intensified each day. Especially is this condition seen in Boston, the very cradle of liberty and justice. The tendency to cater to the prejudice of the south in public places has increased with alarming rapidity. New York is the largest southern city in this country, and its influence as such is plainly seen and felt. There are more southern people in New York than any other city in the United States, and they have brought their hysterical prejudices with them. While the arts, etc., have been more highly developed by the lighter races, to the darker races belong poetry, music and spirituality. IMPORTANT COMING EVENT FOR CITIZENS OF ST. LOUIS. Educators to Hold Eighth Annual Convention There July 26-30. Unusual interest is being taken at this early date in the forthcoming eighth annual convention of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, to be held in St. Louis from Wednesday, July 26 to 30. Inclusive. The convention will be the guest of the city teachers, who will act as a reception committee. Professor R. H. Cole, principal of the Simmons school, is chairman of the committee. Summer high school, in which the sessions of the convention will be held, is admirably adapted for such gatherings. The fact that Dr. Booker T. Washington is to be one of the principal speakers has created new interest in the work of the association, and the attendance will doubtless exceed that of former years. The officers of the association are: President, W. T. B. Williams, agent of the Slater fund, Hampton, Va.; vice presidents, Inman E. Page, president of A. and M. college, Langston, Okla.; N. B. Young, president of A. and M. college, Tallahassee, Fla.; L. S. Clark, president of Baton Rouge college, Baton Rouge, La.; F. L. Williams, principal of Summer high school, St. Louis, and I. M. Terrell, supervisor of schools, Fort Worth, Tex.; secretary, Ida C. Plummer, city schools, Washington; assistant secretary, Mrs. J. E. Porter, city schools, Okmüge, Okla.; corresponding secretary, J. R. E. Lee, director academic department, Tuskegee institute, Tuskegee, Ala.; treasurer, J. A. Martin, principal city schools, Jackson, Miss.; registrar, G. H. Garvin, principal city schools, Winchester, Ky.; chairman executive committee, M. W. Dogan, president Wiley university, Marshall, Tex. Young Afro-Americans of Real Worth. The race takes pride in the success of the following young Afro-Americans who will graduate from the several departments of the University of Pittsburg this summer. They are Hubbard Hollensworth, Riley Leftwick and Ray H. Wooten, collegiate and engineering department; William Writt, Jr. and S. Rosemond Davis, medical department; Leo P. Phillips and Mr. Pritmus, pharmaceutical department, while Daniel W. Hall gets his certificate for a special course in the industrial arts from Carnegie Technical schools. SLAVERY PROBLEM, UNSETTLED, The Waste of War. The waste of war and the patriotism of peace were discussed in a sermon Sunday in Wesley M. E. church by Rev. Samuel M. Dick, Ph. D., pastor of the church. That peace is neither won nor saved by the sword was his statement. A portion of the german follows: "And he will judge between the nations and will decide concerning many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.'—Isaiah 2:1v. "This prophecy is beginning to reach its fulfillment. When the awful cost in life and treasure is reckoned with, it is astonishing that sensible civilized men should ever resort to war to settle any question. There is another reason apart from its destructive character why war should not be resorted to. It never settles any question. The best it can do is to restate it and put it in another form. Take for illustration the civil war in this country. Did it settle the race question? Did it settle the slavery problem? Not by any means, but if the amount of money that war cost us during its progress and for pensions since, had been expended among the colored people of this nation for industrial education and other civilizing agencies that race today would have been further advanced in the scale of progressige peoples than it will be 500 years from today under the existing circumstances." How far, learned Doctor, would they be advanced, if some of that money had been spent on the white race along those same lines? Do you not know that the Negro ranks first, among the progressive races? under the existing circumstances. WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUB- SCRIBER? A court decision has lately been rendered in Massachusetts on what constitutes a subscriber. The judge firmly believed that a man who received the paper, although he never subscribed for it, is entitled to pay. James Thompson moved, and William Robinson took immediate possession, and received and accepted a weekly newspaper that was delivered to him through the mails every week. The goodnatured editor sent accounts frequently, but no attention was paid to them by Mr. Robinson. Finally there was a day of reckoning. Robinson had received the paper for some time, he informed the collector, but he said that he never subscribed and declined to pay for it. The judge personally questioned the defendant, who said that he read and made use of it and was receiving the accounts, which were frequently enclosed in the paper. Judgment was rendered in favor of the newspaper. The judge was severe in his criticism of people who are receiving papers and do not think it worth while to pay for what they receive and make use of it as an act of dishonesty, he said one should acquaint the publisher and pay for what numbers he receives.—X. The waiters who have been at the Rogers are not satisfied with the treatment they receive at the hands of their superior officers. It is supposed that these petty officers want their white friends and the "man with the money". Mr. Rogers wants Negro waiters. Since this is a known fact it appears that the white officers have objected to the good service as formerly "laid down" by the Negroes, and are using any schemes to have the most possible service which will in time hurt the colored boys. Of course this is done without Mr. Rogers' knowledge, and those who know of this condition, only complain after they are out of employment. There are the West, Nicollet, and National and other hotels, where our men are employed, and they live apparently comfortably on what they make. Yet we have so many who are afraid to state their grievances until on the outside. If the waiters of our race would only act as independently is the white waiters, and continue to give correct service when employed they would be more respected. They are employed because they make good by supplying a demand, where the white waiter is unequal to the task. While we have many headwaiters of our race in this city of whom we are proud, viz. Mr. John Scott of the West and Mr. John Elliott of the Nicollet, it is needless to say that Mr. Hollister of the National is a white employer who is most generally liked, and he receives his share of praise from all of those who were and are employed by him. Why? Because he recognizes ability, appreciates manhood and respects in words and deeds the men who protect him in his position. Mr. Claude Burnaugh has succeeded Mr. James Dungee as headwaiter at Trask's Cafe. A Graceful Wrap That Is Useful on Chilly Days. THE FASHION OF THE TIME BEACH CLOAK. The French bather in her abbreviated bloomer bathing dress comes down to the edge of the water covered by a long, graceful wrap, which she throws to an attendant when she steps into the water. When she emerges after her bath the big wrap is ready to cover her up again. These bathing wraps seem rather an affection on American beaches, where it is quite the custom to walk and sit about, clad in a bathing dress, but at the fashionable resorts the bathing wrap is much the thing, and of course it matches in color and material the pretty bathing dress worn under it. If one pleases the wrap may be also used as a rug during the sunning on the sand. Spread out before one sits down, it keeps the wet suit free from sand and prevents the messy, heavy condition that is so unpleasant. The bathing wrap pictured is of soft rubberized blue silk. It is lined with scarlet taffeta and makes a pretty bit of color on the beach. The silk cap shown in the picture of this bathing wrap is one of the favorite models just now. The dotted silk is drawn in folds over the rubber swimming cap, and at either side are ends of the silk. TAILORED GOWNS. They Are Smartly Made Up In Linen or Pique. A smart gown of dark blue linen is pictured here. Its touch of special smartness is in the front panel finished with large round buttons. The blouse is cut low and is finished with a little round collar of the linen, just inside of which is set a line of white. A lace frill is brought down the front of the blouse. A patch pocket adorns the front of the waist. No small accessory of dress is so important as the belt, and yet few give THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMAN BLUE LINEN DRESS. it consideration. At present the semi-princess and other one piece dresses do away with the necessity for belts, but, after all, its use on the skirt and shirt waist, when well tailored and trimly donned, may be very attractive. The washable belt should be neat and always fresh, and so many are needed. Little Miss Treat and Her Baby Camel. A girl and a sheep. The smiling little girl in the picture is Miss Frances Treat of Fargo, N. D. The camel, as is readily seen, is younger than its mistress—in fact, it is little more than a baby. Frances' father is John Frank Treat, imperial potentate of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and that explains why Frances has a camel. The Shriners, following the custom of Arabs, from which the order is supposed to have originated, make the camel their beast of burden when crossing the hot sands of the desert. So Mr. Treat when he journeys must needs have a camel to bear him company. Sometimes Frances goes along, too, and on occasion has ridden a camel in a street parade, attired in the Arabic costume and fez which all true Arabs must wear. The Canary Bird. Both the father and the mother canary birds work in building the nest and feeding the young. The tiny nest, made of moss feathers and hair, is placed in trees and in thick bushy high shrubs. The eggs are pale blue, and the little nest is usually full, for the canaries have five or six broods in a season. The canaries like to live near houses. They abound in Madeira and the Cape Verde isles and in the Canary isles, from which they take their name. When wild their plumage is green or greenish yellow. They are sweet song birds with loud, clear voices. Mexican Children. Small children in Mexico must go to school at 8 o'clock in the morning and remain until 12; go again at 3 o'clock after a resting spell and stay until 6 o'clock—this from March to September. The rest of the year the hours are shorter. Many of the children look as if they had just got out of bed and gone to school without even washing their faces. Bathing troubles them only once a year. The careful mother insists upon bathing all her children on St John the Baptist's day. Conundrums. When is a lover like a tailor? When he presses his suit. What workman never turns to the left? A wheelwright. Why do girls like sunsets and twilight? Because they are daughters of Eve. When is a theatrical manager like an astronomer? When he discovers a new star. About Chairs. Chairs were not introduced into England until about the fourteenth century, and then they were not in common use. Fractional children bewailing the want of a chair used to be told to "sit upon their thumbs," as if that were a common method of sitting before chairs made their appearance. Cold and Heat. Said the north pole man to the south pole man. "And how is the weather with you?" Said the south pole man to the north pole man. "There is something wrong with the dew. It ought to be wet, but it's frozen yet. And I don't know when it will thaw. My spirits are low, and I'm tired of snow, and the weather is chilly and raw. We have live alone in the frigidy zone. And I think it's a hard plan. So one of these springs let's pack up our things And visit the equator man." "O equator man," said the north pole man. "We're longing to live with you." "O north pole man," said the equator man. "You'll never be glad if you do!" "O equator man," said the south pole man. "We're tired of living so far!" "O south pole man," said the equator man. "You had better stay where you are! You'll burn to the bone in the torridity zone. And you're never the place for you. For the sun's as hot as a boiling pot And will roast you through and through." So the north pole man and the south pole man Both said, "That's very good advice." They cling to the poles, and the earth still rolls With the heat, the snow and the ice. Youth's Commerce. Lesson III.—Third Quarter, For July 16, 1911. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, II Chron. xxxiii, 1-13—Memory Verses, 12, 13—Golden Text, Isa. i, 16, 17—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. That Hezekiah, who was such a good king, should have had such a bad father as Ahaz and such a bad son as Manasseh is one of the—to us—seemingly strange things. In the case of David's sons and Ell's sons the trouble seems to have been lack of home discipline, for it is written of the former concerning one of his sons that his father never displeased him and never said to him as much as "Why hast thou done this?" (I Kings 1, 6.) Of Ell it is written that "his sons made themselves vile and he restrained them not" (I Sam. ill, 13). As Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign in the stead of his father he must have been born three years after his father's recovery from his illness of which he would have died had not the Lord added fifteen years to his life. His words were very humble after his recovery from that sickness, but later there was much pride and self assertion, especially when the ambassadors came with gifts from Babylon (Isa. xxxvill and xxxix). Would it have been better for Hezekiah to have died at what seemed to be his appointed time rather than to become the father of such a son? Let those tell who know, but let us in all things be wholly subject to God. Verses 9, and 10 of our lesson summarize his inluvio in these words: "So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err and to do worse than the heathen, whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel. And the Lord spake to Manasseh and to his people, but they would not hearken." Note the love and compassion of Jehovah in His speaking to him to warn him and turn him from his evil ways; note the worst phase of his sin in his refusing to listen to God. The special phases of his sin are mentioned in the previous verses as manifold idolatry, building idol altars even in the house of the Lord, using witchcraft, dealing with familiar spirits, etc. It was a foreshadowing of the still greater wickedness which led to the captivity of Judah when they mocked the messengers of God, despised His words and misused His prophets till there was no remedy. Although God is so long suffering, there is sometimes a limit, and the time came when God allowed Manasseh to be taken prisoner, bound in chains and carried to Babylon (verse 11). It was a grand gift for him to be thus afflicted, for in prison he became truly penitent and humble and prayed earnestly to God, and the Lord heard him and saved him and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom (verses 12, 13). The Lord is not willing that any should perish, and He does everything to prevent people from going down to the pit (Job xxxiii, 29, 30). Even the judgments of the great tribulation period, after the church shall have been removed, will have as their object the repentance of the ungodly (Rev. ix. 20, 21: xvl, 9). Who can tell how much his mother's prayers had to do with his turning to God? Her name was Hephzibah, and she seems to have been a godly woman. If she was on earth when he was carried to Babylon she might have said, as Jacob did. "All these things are against me," but in her case, as in his, Rom. vili. 28, was true. After he turned to the Lord and was restored to his kingdom he seems to have done what he could to undo the evil he had done before by removing the altars and the strange gods, by repairing the altar of the Lord and offering sacrifice thereon and by commanding Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel (verses 14-16), but there was no lasting result in the kingdom from his reformation, and his son Amon walked in the wicked ways of his father (verses 21-23). It seems more easy to lead people away from God than to lead them to Him, to do evil than to undo it, but there is nothing too hard or wonderful for the Lord. The salvation of the thief on the cross, Saul of Tarsus and the jaller at Philippi are notable Bible illustrations of the grace of God. Our lesson chapter refers to the prayer of Manasseh and the words of the Lord's servants to him, but we have no record of them. In the Apocrypha just preceding the first book of Maccabees there is a portion entitled "The prayer of Manasseh when he was holden captive in Babylon," in which he confesses, among other things, that he had sinned above the number of the sands of the sea, and he says that if God will save him he will praise Him forever all the days of his life. But even if this be a correct record, which is doubted, it is neither his prayer nor his promises that we should consider, but the great mercy of God toward one who had been so great a sinner. All mercy to all sinners can only be because of the great sufferings of Him of whom we read in last week's lesson who was set apart before the foundation of the world, the Lamb stain from the foundation of the world (I Pet. 1, 20: Rev. xiii. 8. His was the only sacrifice that could take away sin, foreshadowed in Gen. iii. 21, and in all true sacrifices ordained of God and fulfilled on Golgotha (Acts 1v, 12). ee TUR TWIN CITY STAR + THE TWIN CITY STAR No. 49 Saturday, July 18, 191) Entered in the Post ouice at Min neapolis, June 23, as second class mat ter, Bubscription by Mall, Postpaid.

We are de—lighted to hear that the majestic form of our President has not obscured the other true friends of our race. The white-washing proc- livities of Mr. Taft may be admired by many of our great race leaders, and we are grateful for what he has done through appointments, but the “Negro who votes” does not allow a few political acrobats to determine his policy, or even give enough heed to the softsoap of the subsized Ne- gro newspapers or their correspond- ents, to allow them to blot from his memory the good deeds of such a man as Elihu Root or the past per- formances of President Taft. THE TROTTER TESTIMONIAL. Many admirers of W. Monroe Trot ter, the Editor and Publisher of the Guardian of Boston, Mass., are going to give him a testimonial for his services to his race. Editor Trot ter deserves this consideration. He advocated the cause of the Negro, when other editors were eating their “mess of pottage,” Mr. Trotter has made mistakes, but he is a forceful and fearless example of a man with honesty of purpose, who has sacrificed wealth, position and honor, in his at- tempt to promote the best interests of the race. We need such men as Editor Trotter. Whatever élse may be said, he cafi always be called a Champion of our Civic Rights. GETTING TOGETHER. White and colored people in Wis consin are working together for the good of all the people. Never before in the history of Wisconsin has the spifit of the fatherland of God, and the brotherhood of man, been mant- fested as it is today. The white people all over the state are extend- ing to thelr colored neighbors the right hand of fellowship and good will. Some of Milwaukee's leading white families have extended invita tions to colored people to visit thelr homes and be with them in their so clal affairg, and they are doing all they can to blot out forever the color line in Milwaukee. Yet some of our colored women who are 80 narrow, that they are trying to withhold them selves from the white neighbors, We ‘advise those women who are stil clinging to those old southern ideas of racial segregation, cut it out, and work together, and if a white womar wishes to join your clubs admit het under the same conditions that you admit women of your own race. ‘The lawn fete given under the au spices of the Christian Endeavor So- clety on Tuesday evening, at the home of Attorney H. B. Alexander, was a grand success. A large crowd of colored and white friends were present and all enjoyed themselves to their fullest expectation. Mrs. Cunningham and her excel- lent husband are deserving of much praise for the kindness and keen In- terest they take in the colored peo: ple.

In days of old, no Roman citizen was received and treated with greater homage and deference in other sec- tions of his country than the bonafide citizen of Virginia, Historians and writers of fiction, when they wish to give to the world stories of the South’s greatness, her chivalry, her glory and her wealth, the part she has played in the making of a great nation, invariably they take us into Virginia, the mother of Presidents. The boast of the white Virginian of his royal and aristocratic lineage ‘ean also be the boast of the Virginia Negro, and justly so. The African slaves landed at Jamestown were not all of the thin skinned Hottentot type, enticed into captivity by the display of a red rag. There was a sufficient percentage of Akwuamus and Kumaisi aristocrats and warlike Zulus to “leaven the lump” and give the Virginian Negro the distinction of being foremost in love of liberty, foremost in the love of race, foremost In pride, in thrift, and independence. Inspired by the eloquence of Patrick Henry and the teachings of Thomas Jefferson, the Virginia Negro was among the first pioneers who in quest of freedom fought with blood hounds as they trudged northward, guided by the North Star. It is claimed that the Virginian of color is the only Afro-American that can trace his lineage back through gen- erations it an unbroken line. This is due to the fact that there was less selling of slaves among the rich slaveholders of that State than was the case in other States, and there- fore less breaking up of families dur- ing the slave regime. Thus this royal and aristocratic blood flowed in one uninterrupted stream from the land- ing of the first cargo of African slaves at Jamestown in 1619 to the Gabriel Insurrection in that State in 1800, So the Virginia Negro ts the only genuine blue blooded aristocrat of the race in America.—The Rich- mond Planet, July 8, 1911, ‘The Knights are going to Indiana. polis this summer to the Encamp ment. — THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN SCANDAL. The president is likt the high-mind- ed president of a public service cor- Poration who wants his general man- ager or counsel to get results in council and legislature, but is unwil ling to hear anything about the necessary means, We do not hear of any refusal of the president to permit Southern delegates to the Republican national convention to vote for him, but he is taking great pains to pass on the other side of all unpleasant details Involved in arranging for this support of his candidacy. ‘The Republican party in the South is a permanent scandal. It has no following, since its negroes have been disfranchised and its whites ostra- clsed, and only leaders enough to fill the federal and organization offices. ‘The less sald about the kind of pa- triots who fill these places the bet- ter, except that there are always too many of them for the positions at the udder and the weakest piglet Is always being smothered and starved. ‘This 1s not done without some little outery, such as 1s now being made in the Republican organization of Alabama, The national chairman and the state chairman have fallen out and the latter has organized the committee to destroy his rival. The doomed leader got the presi- dent's ear through Booker Washing: ton, who might be in better business, but the successful leader got Mr. Hitchcock's, which is more to the point—Minneapolis Tribune. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AN EDITOR Quarter Centenial to be Celebrated. Editor Jno. Quincy Adams of the Appeal, is to present a Senatorial?? Edition of his publication at a Grand Benefit. and Testimonial which will be given in St. Paul. Mr. Adams will celebrate his Quarto-Centenial as Editor of the Appeal, and the affair is to be one of great interest among our best citizens, many of whom have Promised to be present. Why the Negroes were not, repre- sented in the Civic parades—is a question often asked and easily an- swered—It was because they have no organizations, and their lack of in- terest is due to their so-called lead- ers. They have no civic pride or their race's welfare at heart, but are satisfied to he recognized by the white element as our representa- tives.
