Defective Page THE AFRO-AMERICAN PRESS Editor Macbeth Tells of its Duty to Business Enterprises. That the Afro-American press should exploit the business enterprises conducted by the race is the opinion expressed by Mr. Hugh E. Macbeth, editor of the Baltimore (M.D.) Times. In a recent interview "Ever since the race paper has been running," says Mr. Macbeth, "church, fraternal and social gossip have formed the major portion of its contents and only a scattering notice here and there has been given to the business enterprises of the race. Without minimizing what the church and fraternal organizations have done for racial uplift, one cannot galasay the fact that the intelligent and farseeing business man of the race is coming to the fore, and it remains for the race paper to give him all of the encouragement possible: "A big crop of successful business men would be a splendid asset to the race. These men, by their money and HUGH E. MACBETH. public spirit, could wield a tremendous influence for us, besides giving our bright boys and girls an opportunity for business experience and success. With growing prejudice in some quarters and the tendency to let the colored man shift for himself, we demand that the business enterprises which reap so large a profit from the men and women of the race should be in the hands of our own men and women. "There is an abundance of opportunities for the small storekeeper—the man who sells the necessities of life. Out of these small enterprises big ones could evolve and racial progress would then be more evenly balanced along all lines. The splendid gifts made to worthy causes in this country have almost always come from successful business men, and that should be our cue if we are to look after our own." Mr. Macbeth says he has received a number of assurances from all parts of the country of interest in his project for a national Negro daily. Such a publication is sadly needed at this particular period in the life of colored Americans in the United States. Half heartedness has never won a battle. Ambition, self reliance and perseverance are the necessary essentials to put into such a project. These we have, and with them we may succeed.

We ask all delegates to stand with us for unity, progress and reform, and the candidate whose platform lacks these important planks is doomed already to defeat. Let the next Grand Exalted Ruler, above all things, possess unselfish devotion to the interests of the order, counting no sacrifice too great to promote the general good, and that integrity of purpose which shall prevent so powerful a factor of race progress being used for individual, political or professional advantage; and he will find all true brothers of the order supporting him in his work. Could the Order of Elks but realize how prolific is its field for teaching our people the greatat principles of unity and fraternity, it would at once sieve this glorious opportunity to aid in the solution of the great race problem."—The Cambridge (Mass.)

AFRO-AMERICANS HONOR LATE BROOKLYN MERCHANT Publio Expression of Appreciation Fer Friendship of Abraham Abraham. ‘To show their appreciation of the late Abraham Abraham, head of the big dry goods firm of Abraham & Straus in Brooklyn, who employed a large number of colored persons in his establishment, a number of colored citizens recently met at the Carlton avenue branch of the ¥. M. O. A. and Passed resolutions deploring his death. Mr. Frank Jackson, who was a con- fidential employee of Mr. Abraham for twenty-three years, and to whom he left an annuity of $400 for life, gave a vivid description of his experience with the firm during over a score of years. He laid much stress upon the fact that the first three colored men whom the firm employed were of the type that made a favorable impression. ‘The number of Afro-Americans in the employ of the firm at the present time is seventy-five. Mr. William Russell Johnson, the sec- ond colored man to enter the employ of the firm, also made a brief address fn which he expressed his gratitude for the opening made for the race with this well known establishment and to the Inte Mr. Abraham for his generous consideration for the colored employ- ees. Others who spoke were Dr. W. Li Hunter, Rev. Dr. W. W. Beckett and Mr. M. P. Saunders. Mr. John D. Nixon, chairman of the branch, presided, and Mr. Arthur L. Comither acted as secretary.

Albon I, Holsey, advertising manager for the Crisis Magazine in New York, has the following to say concerning the work of the coming meeting of the Na- tional Negro Press association to be held in Little Rock, Ark. Aug. 15: “While I am not acquainted with the plans of President M. M. Lewey, I am hoping they will take some step to direct the attention of the readers of our Papers and magazines to the value of reading the advertising columns. Some plan of this sort "carefully worked out would cer- tainly receive the enthusiastic support of the press and the | business men of the race. “More than one advertiser has told me of his disappointment - in results from advertising. Now, , either the merchant's advertising copy was poorly Writely or the ; readers of the tedium which’he selected were ‘not ‘responsive. ; Both of these conditions are of- ten noted. Advertisements that appear in our papers must be in- - teresting and instructive wheth- er they are inserted for general | publicity or for creating and - holding trade. ; “In answer to my question why the standard advertisers of the country did not use the col- "umns of our papers more large- ly along with white papers the advertising manager of a rell- ; able concern replied: ‘Your peo- - ple must read more. When they do this then you may expect ; larger recognition from standard } advertising agencies.’” SHREWD BUSINESS MOVE. Editor Wright Saves A. M. E. Book Concern From Sheriff's Hammer. Philadelphia, Pa.—The book concern of the A. M. E. church, the oldest de- partment of that church and the old- est corporation now in existence among Afro-Americans, was saved from extinction by the prompt action of Dr. R. R, Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder. The sheriff had osted a notice on the windows. ‘The date of sale was to be July 19. ‘The committee of bishops who met refused to take any action to save the concern. The president of the board, Bishop W. J. Gaines, was in favor of selling out the old landmark. ‘The committee which took charge of the business two years ago offered no re- Hef, although a sale would have meant the wiping out of existence the cor- porate name which Bas stood since 1855. ‘The Philadelphia preachers’ meeting had discussed the matter and deplored the situation, but was unable to raise the money, when Dr. R. R. Wright made a proposition to them to give $250 if ten others would give $125. But no one responded. Then Wright went to the lawyer, paid $1,800 cash ‘out of his own pocket, had the judg- ment assigned, the sale stopped, and today tho book concern of the A. M. B. church goes merrily on.

It is certainly Pleasant to see that harmoneous working together among superintend- ents, teachers and class workers gen- lerajly. It typifies that broadening influence that education should bring to the human family. Mr. 0. C. Hall, supt. of the St. James 8. S., was the Suest of honor and right worthily did he perform the part of entertainer, or orator of the day.- His theme was Love, and he wove around it a beautt- ful and touching story. Such enter- change of courtesies is proper and right and meets the hearty approval of those interested in child develop- ment. FINANCIAL RALLY. Next Sunday, 13th, is rally day.

We cannot find words to ex- Press our admiration for the splendid work these young people are doing. Our Church should give some fitting testimonial for the faithful, earnest work being done by them without hope ‘ef reward. Our morning ser- mon, without our Choir would be a Breat disappointment.

Defective Page SUCCESS OF STATE SCHOOL First Year at Maryland Normal Gratifying to Principal Goodies. The first year of the Maryland Normal and Industrial school at Jericho Park, in Prince Georges county, Md., was a pronounced success. Professor D. S. S. Goodloe, principal of the institution, which is supported by the state, is very much gratified over the bright outlook for doing a much needed educational work in that section of the state among the masses of Afro-Americans. The present school building is the first of a proposed group which will in time be built upon the grounds of Jericho Park. The spot is one of the most beautiful in Prince Georges county. The present building is of red brick with granite trimmings and is three stories high, with a large basement. The latter is divided into a kitchen, dining hall, laundry and heating plant. The first floor will be divided into study halls and offices, while the second floor will be used as dormitories and will also contain the apartments of the teachers. Lockers, bathroom and toilets are also on this floor. The third floor is a large hall and will be used temporarily as a gymnasium. The building is heated by steam and illuminated by electric lights. The building cost about $17,000, while the ground on which it is located cost $5,000. There are 187 acres of ground which will be used as a farm and for the breeding of blooded stock. The fall term will commence Sept. 18. WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY GETS BIG APPROPRIATION. Professor Joiner's Efforts Double State Aid For Noted School. Wilberforce, O.—The seventy-ninth assembly of the Ohio legislature which recently adjourned was quite upon most of the educational institutions which usually receive financial aid from the state. Wilberforce university was the only school whose appropriation for 1911-12 was not cut below that for the previous year. There are twenty-six state institutions for which the legislature was required to make appropriations. Out of the twenty-six all but one suffered cuts in their estimates for the next two years. On taking charge in the fall of 1910 Professor A. A. Joiner installed a new and improved system of accounts for Wilberforce university and suggested a change in the method of submitting estimates for the appropriations with the result that the appropriation for 1911 and 1912 almost doubles that obtained for 1909 and 1910. There are four educational institutions in the state for which the legislature appropriates. Wilberforce is one of these institutions. The three white colleges had their appropriations more than cut in half, while the amount asked for Wilberforce was allowed to the last cent. The special appropriations amount to $91,220.00; the pro rata of the general levy due Wilberforce for the two years will be $46,500. This added to the special appropriations makes for Wilberforce $187,720.89 for 1911 and 1912. Some of the notable increases are as follows: The appropriation for 1910 was $8,000, for 1911, $12,600; appropriation for industries for 1910 was $4,000, for 1911 it was $6,417.85, but probably the most important increase, both as to amount and significance to the plant at this time is the increase in the amount obtained for repairs and improvements which are badly needed upon the buildings and grounds. The appropriation for such purposes for the two preceding years was $1,800; the amount carried by the present appropriation for such purposes is $18,000, or just ten times the amount which was available for the past two years. Many of the buildings are much in need of repair and much improvement on the grounds will be made possible. But the work has not all been done on the outside. Every teacher who is now receiving less than $75 per month has been slated for an increase for next year. R. W. Thompson as Boy Statesman. According to the ipse dixit of the Pensacola (Fla.) Sentinel, R. W. Thompson of Washington and Indiana respectively, national newspaper correspondent and versatile writer, was the first colored boy to serve as page in the legislature of the state of Indiana. He was in the session of 1880-81, which elected Benjamin Harrison to the United States senate and in which sat James Sidney Hinton, the first colored man to serve as a lawmaker in the Hoosier State. Newspaper Men to Meet In Little Rock. It is hoped that editors throughout the country will so arrange their business as to be able to attend the next annual meeting of the National Negro Press association to be held in Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 15. President M. M. Lewey is leaving no stone unturned in his efforts to have a program in which all may participate regardless of politics, educational methods or what not. Progress Noted In Journalism. In order to keep pace with the latest developments in race journalism, Mr. John H. Murphy, managing editor of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, has added a typesetting machine to the equipment of his newspaper plant. Since moving to his new office at 629 North Eutaw street Editor Murphy has added upward of $5,000 worth of improvements to his establishment. Fashionable Garments Ornamented With Sampler Effects. 1910 EVERYING COAT WITH CROSS STITCH. Most of our garments are revivals, whether it is in the cut which harks back to the time of the first empire or in fabrics and decoration which are of all periods. Quaint indeed are some of the embroideries in cross stitch and French knots applied in quaint angular designs that recall the old patterns that our great-grandmothers' samplers depict. Blouse fronts and evening wraps, as well as household fancy work, abound in these odd yet charming effects, which are worked in carefully harmonized colors. This handsome evening wrap is most suitable for wear with the brocades that are now so popular. White broadcloth is the material of the coat. At the waist a broad banding of French knots and cross stitch is put on in the form of conventionalized leaves and flowers. Bands of cross stitching are applied to the wide sleeves and the square sailor collar cut low in the back. SUMMER BLOUSES. Lingerie Affairs Elaborately Lace Trimmed and Embroidered. The summer blouse for comfort and neatness should be of some easily laundered material, such as linen or lawn. Laces and embroideries are used in the decoration of these garments. There are scores of blouses made of all over embroidery, and most of the models are exceedingly simple, the embroidery being handsome enough to A LINGERIE WAIST. serve as trimming and just a trifle of some fine lace being added at neck and sleeve edge as a finish. Fichus are worn with many of these simple tub blouses, and sometimes fichu and blouse are trimmed alike, a very pretty notion. The Magyar type, with its seamless shoulder and sleeve and its loose fall of material from shoulder to waist, continues to be the favorite blouse style. In direct contrast to the tub blouses there are smart little blouses of heavy Irish crochet or the fashionable and expensive venise, which mold the lines of the figure without showing fullness anywhere. These lace blouses are mounted over chiffon cloth, sometimes in white, sometimes in delicate color tints, and a rather daring notion is to wear the lacy blouse over flesh colored chiffon. These lace blouses are exquisitely shaped, for without a trace of fullness the lines must be easy and unrestricted anywhere. Such blouses may sometimes be picked up very reasonably from the peasants who go aboard the ocean liners at Queenstown and peddle laces to home going American travelers. In the blouse shops in America, of course, they cost substantially more, but such a blouse will pay for itself over and over and may eventually become a valuable heirloom, for Irish lace practically never wears out. TWIN CITY STAR SAFEGUARD TO COMMUNITY. Southern Paper's Tribute to Manasses Colored Industrial School Colored Industrial School. Under the caption "No Race Problem Here" the Journal, an influential paper published in Manassas, Va., says: "The people of this section have settled the race problem in a common-sense way—by not having any problem to settle. "The conflicts that have occurred north, south, east and west between the two races only interest us here in an academic way. This is due to good sense and conservatism and the absence of the professional or political agitator. The man who would come here to foment discord and make trouble would be discountenanced and probably asked to leave town by leading men of both races. "Perhaps the strongest influence here among the colored people for good citizenship is the colored industrial school founded by the efforts of a southern colored woman and aided in its inception by southern white men. This school lays down the fundamental principle that society has no place for the loafer; that the world needs more work of the hands and less of the tongue to make good citizens. "Now financed almost wholly by northern men, the policy of the school remains unchanged, and teachers and students go quietly about their own business, always conducting themselves with the propriety of good citizens and never loafing or drinking or gambling. In discipline and work the school is really a model. "Native Virginians, many of them ex-Confederates, frequently visit the school and always comment favorably on the good order, industry and fine sanitary conditions existing about both farm and shops as well as the dormitories. Young colored girls are taught household work and the young men farming-and craftsmanship, and both sexes are well taught. In addition they are given a good English education. "But, best of all, be it told to their credit, no matter how large the attendance may be at any of their public meetings, neither town nor country has ever found it necessary to appoint a single extra policeman or deputy sheriff, and nobody ever dreams of peril of either life or property in consequence of the presence of the school. The school itself, conducted in the manner in which it is, is a safeguard to both." KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS TO MEET IN INDIANAPOLIS. Forecast of Program For Biennial Session of Supreme Lodge. By CHARLES D. MARSHALL. Indianapolis, Ind.-The sixteenth biennial session of the supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias, and the supreme court of Calanthe, which have jurisdiction in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, will be held in Indianapolis from Aug. 21 to 26, inclusive. The local committee having charge of arrangements for the entertainment of delegates is composed of Editor George P. Stewart of the Indianapolis Recorder, Grand Chancellor E. C. Tiderington, Leon F. Darison and Remus Moore. The sessions of the convention will be held in the new Pythian temple which was erected by the state lodges of Indiana at a cost of $40,000. Supreme Chancellor Green is enthusiastic over the outlook for the largest gathering of members and friends of the order which has ever assembled in this city. Major General R. R. Jackson of Chicago will be present. He has promised some interesting military features for his part of the program. The program will be as follows: Monday, Aug. 21, 8 p. m., opening ceremonies, reception and formal welcome to delegates and visitors; Tuesday, 10 a. m., convening of the supreme lodge and supreme court in the new Pythian temple, corner Senate avenue and Walnut street; Tuesday, 4 p. m., memorial service; Wednesday evening, national band prize contest at the state fair grounds in which twenty-five bands will compete. There will be three prizes awarded, one to each of the three most efficient organizations. Following the contest a reception will be held in honor of the Calanthe and Dramatic Order of Knights of Omar. The grand parade will be held on Thursday. It will be led by a platoon of mounted police and an escort of cavalry. The officers of the supreme lodge will follow in automobiles headed by the Eighth Illinois regiment band. Baptist Convention's Wise Choice. The New England Baptist missionary convention made no mistake by selecting the Rev. Dr. William A. Creditt of Philadelphia as its executive head. By education, experience, racial and denominational interest he is abundantly qualified to guide the destinies of that great religious body in its continued increasing responsibilities and usefulness to its members. The growth of the convention for the past three years has been wonderful. It is Dr. Creditt's aim this year to develop every resource the organization has to meet the demands for a more definite work along all lines within the jurisdiction of the convention. Founded First School in Missouri. The first school for colored people in Missouri after the civil war was founded by J. Milton Turner in Kansas City in 1868. For a long time he taught without a fixed salary, as the school commissioners refused to make any provision for him. By M159 M. G. WILLIAMS. Thomas R. Morgan was born in Bristol, Pa., being the son of a Methodist preacher. He was "raised" all over the country." He was taken off the farm and placed in the printing office of the Philadelphia Sentinel, now the Tribune. While in Philadelphia he was associated with J. W. Harris in the organization of the Small Loan and Investment company, which is known today as the Conservative Investment company of Philadelphia. In 1896 he organized what was then known as the Small Loan and Investment company of St. Paul, Minn., which has lately been reorganized into the Gateway Investment company. He is still a member of the board of directors, having acted a number of years as its secretary-treasurer. Perhaps Mr. Morgan has entered more avenues of business than any other man in the northwest. He is now secretary and general agent of the Cosmopolitan Mutual Casualty company, an enterprising Negro insurance company, which he was instrumental in helping to promote in 1905. For more than a year he has been managing editor of the Guide, a very newsy little sheet, and through its columns has been able to do good work in the interest of railroad waiters, porters and cooks. On account of his M. THOMAS R. MORGAN. ability to do many things well he is familiarly known as "hustling" Tom Morgan. This versatile young man can also be classed as a writer, printer, real estate man, notary public, publicity specialist and a cornet soloist of ability. He is now secretary of the local Negro Business league of St. Paul. In church circles Mr. Morgan has been very popular and has acted in the capacity of secretary of the board of trustees of St. James A. M. B church for a number of years. THE TROTTER TESTIMONIAL. Many admirers of W. Monroe Trotter, the Editor and Publisher of the Guardian of Boston, Mass., are going to give him a testimonial for his services to his race. Editor Trotter 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 attempt to promote the best interests of the race. We need such men as Editor Trotter. Whatever else may be said, he can always be called a Champion of our Civic Rights. "The CENSUS BUREAU officially certifies MINNEAPOLIS as the HEALTHIEST CITY in the UNITED STATES." Mr. John Hill, one of our oldest citizens has built a large house opposite the main entrance of the State Fair Grounds, and opened a restaurant. He is doing a nice business. Mr. Hill has also quite a farm, containing a choice crop of garden vegetables. He will be glad to meet his friends when ever they call. He has a choice location and serves good meals at reasonable prices. If it's in the Star, It's right. There is a lady, who is indebted to this paper for subscription and advertisement who has said "that she only used the Star for a convenience." Of course she took offence at the owner's presentation of her account and she wanted a bill sent on the first of the month. We think she has a reputation for paying her bills at her appointed time. We publish this paper for the convenience of every one, and we admire her consideration, but if she intends to use this publication without pay, we shall make a public illustration of her contracts, etc., which is within our rights, and thereby educate the (m)asses, who may afterwards find the Star somewhat inconvenient. Famous American Postess Discusses Foreign Women. M. MRS. ELLA WHEELER WILCOX Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who recently returned from a trip through parts of India and Europe, expresses some interesting views of foreign women. "The English girl as I have met and studied her," said Mrs. Wilcox, "is a delightful being. To me her great charm lies in her modesty and freshness and the wonderful childlike quality of her outlook upon life, a quality distinctly lacking in the typical American girl. I think it is accounted for by the greater intimacy of family life in England. "In their earliest years American girls are more with their parents and are not sent away from home so soon as in England, but later there seems to be far more friendship between the parents and children in England than in America. The American girl asserts her independence very early and becomes more aggressive in consequence. She is. I admit, better polished than the English girl and is more entertaining, but unless she has had wise guidance she often develops some very unpleasant qualities." Mrs. Wilcox is a student of oriental philosophies, literature and history, and her observations on India, which she visited on her travels, are valuable. She especially admires Mrs. Besant, whom she considers to be doing the most wonderful work of her time in India. "Brahmans, Buddhists, Parsees and persons of all religions and sects in India, though at variance with each other and opposed to many of the Christian missions, unite in praising the work of Annie Besant. She is, in her great college at Benares and in other schools founded by her, developing the educational life of India in accordance with its own natural environment and having as its basis the moral elevation of character. I met a brilliant native woman writer who had written an impassioned plea for education on Indian, not on European, lines and who has already started a school for that purpose. She is opposed to the education which aims at making Indian women mere imitation Europeans. "The women of India are beginning to rebel at the fate which condemns them to marriage at ten and to motherhood at eleven years old." PHOTOGRAPHING CHILDREN. It is an Art That Takes Both Skill and Patience. "If you greet a child with 'Well, my little man, and how are you today?' or something grownup and condescending like that he shuts up at once and withdraws into his shell. You would never be able to take a real portrait of him after such a beginning. It makes him shy with you and self conscious. When you want to get a good photograph try to be a child with the children; try to get into their minds and think as they think, to get down to their level absolutely. "In fact," said a successful photographer of children, "I get down to their level literally, for within a few minutes of their arrival I am often on the floor with them, playing ninepins or hunt the slipper. "Sometimes it is a long time before I can actually take the photograph, for I never deliberately pose children. I play with them, watching them all the time, until I catch them in graceful and characteristic attitudes; then I squeeze the india rubber ball that I carry hidden in my pocket, and that controls, by means of a long, flexible tube, the shutter of my camera, and the portrait is taken. "To keep the child still long enough for the exposure I invent a pause in the game," said this ingenious man. "Suppose we are playing at trains, and my sitter is the engine. In that case I am the signalman, and at a word from me the engine has to stop dead still until the signal is given for it to puff on its way again." Cleaning a White Coat. To dry clean a white coat lay the coat on a table and cover it with a mixture of powdered borax and French chalk. Leave it for half an hour or so, then take a clean cloth and rub it well all over. Let it lie twenty-four hours, then shake and brush it well, when it will probably look quite fresh. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson VI.—Third Quarter, For Aug. 6, 1911. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Jer. xxvI, 7-19. Memory Verses, 13, 14—Golden Text, Ps. xxvll, 1—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Jeremiah was a faithful messenger of the Lord God of Israel and coveted only the approval of Him who sent him. He was therefore hated by the false prophets and by all who would not submit to God. The Lord told him that it would be so when He called him to be a prophet and said: "Speak unto them all that I command thee; be not dismayed at their faces. They shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee, for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee" (Jer. 1, 17, 19: xv, 20). After he had been eighteen years a prophet (compare Jer. 1, 2; II Chron. xxxiv, 1) and Jeholakim was now king, his brother Jehoahaz having reigned only three months (II Chron. xxxvi, 1-4), the word of the Lord came again to Jeremiah saying, "Speak all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word" (Jer. xxvi, 2). Because of Jeremiah's faithfulness in delivering the Lord's message against the city and the temple the priests and the prophets took him and gathered the people against him to put him to death (verses 7-11). The reason of their hatred is seen in the description given of them in previous chapters. "A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land—the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means, and My people love to have it so." "Every one, from the least even unto the greatest, is given to covetousness; from the prophet even unto the priest, every one dealeth falsely." "Both prophet and priest are profane; yes, in My house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord" (Jer. v, 80, 31; viii, 10; viii, 11). See the same state of affairs described in Isa xxix, 18; xxx, 9-13. With such an alliance against God on the part of the people and their teachers we cannot wonder at their persecution of such a man of God as Jeremiah. It has always been so, and the Lord Jesus when on earth said that it would be so throughout this age also (Matt. x, 16-18; John xv, 18-21; xv1, 1-3). We cannot be faithful to God and on good terms with the world, lying in the wicked one. Back of all persecutors of the people of God we must see the great persecutor and destroyer, the father of lies. In verses 12 to 15 we have Jeremiah's defense, and his only plea is, "Of a truth the Lord hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears." He did not fall to exhort them to amend their ways and their doings and to obey the voice of the Lord their God, and then he added, do what you please with me, but know that if you kill me you will kill an innocent man. The princes and the people then took Jeremiah's part against the priests and the prophets because he had spoken in the name of the Lord their God, and they recall the fact that in the days of Hezekiah the Prophet Micah was a faithful witness for the Lord of hosts against Jerusalem, but that Hezekiah, instead of killing him, repented before the Lord, and the Lord kept back the evil which otherwise would have come upon them. Micah told them plainly that they judged for reward, taught for hire and divined for money, yet professed to lean upon the Lord (Mic. iii, 11). Hezekiah knew this to be all true, and he humbled himself before God and repented. The last part of our lesson chapter tells of another true man of God who prophesied as Jeremiah did, and when Jeholakim sought to kill him he fled into Egypt, but the king had him brought back out of Egypt and put to death. The difference in the fate of these two men makes us think of James, the brother of John, whom Herod killed with the sword, and Peter, who was saved from a similar fate by an angel (Acts xil). It is always a gain for a true child of God to die, but it is sometimes better for the people of God on the earth and for sinners who may through them be saved to continue yet awhile here (Phil. i. 20-26). Jeremiah was a prophet of the Lord for forty years until Judah was fully carried captive in the days of Zedekiah, and he seems to have had to contend with lying prophets all the way through, to one of whom the Lord told him to say, "This year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the Lord." So he died that same year (chapter xxviii, 15-17). We can always safely leave ourselves in the hands of the Lord, but we cannot do otherwise than believe and obey Him. The illustration of the Rechabites, who obeyed Jonadab, their father, in the matter of drinking no wine, having no vineyards and building no houses, as recorded in chapter xxxv, was a very striking object lesson and a stinging rebuke to God's disobedient people, but they did not lay it to heart. What an old story it is, but what a sad story, that people will profess in words to be the Lord's people, but in their lives deny Him by covetousness and worldiness and self seeking and pleasing, as if they could deceive God, who reads the heart, and to whom all things are naked and open.

The Twin City Star is a fixture among the Negro newspapers—and a credit to the community and to the race. "Hustling" Morgan celebrated the 2nd anniversary of the Daily Guide this week by issuing a bigger, better and busier publication. Success to the Guide. BOOST HOYT FOR 1912. Grand Esteemed Lecturing Knight, Stewart E. Hoyt, one of the most progressive and popular members of the order of Elks in the country, has received the unanimous endorsement of the local Lodges for the office of Grand Exalted Ruler at the coming Convention. Stewart will show what Boston can do for the progress of the organization, and he stands for the maintenance of its highest principles. Let the Elks of the World reciprocate. NEGRO BUSINESS MEN'S LEAGUE Meets in Little Rock, 'Ark., Aug. 14, 1911.. Minnesota not Represented. The Negroes of Minnesota should send a representative to this Convention. One who would truthfully state our condition. It is known that we haevn't a business (except restaurants, saloons and barber shops) in this state, operated by Negroes or their capital that is worthy of mention—and for this reason alone—we should send a delegate, to carry a message from Minnesota, the land of opportunity, to invite the intelligent and energetic Negroes to invest their capital and center our business interests. We should break down the barriers, which have been set against them by the egalistic and ignorant fore-runners, who have lived long in these parts (inter se) without doing anything effectual, or offering any encouragement, by neither precept nor example, to the stranger within their gates. This state has no representation among the states where the Negro has advanced along constructive lines. We have a few professional men, mostly self-appointed and self-conceited leaders, who have done nothing inspiring, or worthy of emulation, and today they are unable to advise or institute any reform of the conditions which is badly needed among our people today. There is but one remedy for these ills—an infusion of new spirit—control of affairs by a younger element, a co-operation, with evidences of good faith and sound business principles, among our organizations which may become actual, instead of vision.

MINNESOTA STATE FAIR AND EXPOSITION SEPT. 4 TO 9 BUNCOED AN AGED MAN. Mr. George Coster, supposed to be 100 years old, who is being cared for at the Attucks Home and Orphanage is waiting the return of a man named Beckwith, who took $35 from him. Mr. Coster is anxious for Beckwith's return. We hope that this Mr. Beckwith of Minneapolis will keep his promise and relieve this aged man of his suspence, if he does not, it is probable that the management of the Home will take legal steps against him. We have been told that Beckwith has found himself and is looking for the Star's Editor. There is no knowledge at this office of any reward for the apprehension of Beckwith, therefore we are not looking for him—and are still exposing such criminal characters for the good of all. Is there another Beckwith in the field? Ed. Mr. Beckwith, the contractor, has asked the Editor to retract this statement about him. If it is he who is guilty of this deed, he should be "in endurance vile." There is no retraction due him. The Star re-acts, also retracts, (when in error.) But we are doubly sure of being right in this case,—we are sorry that it was this Beckwith, or any other, because this publication will publish facts about anyone, whereby the public is benefitted. \DVERTISE—IT HELPS. Colored Orphanage and Home. There are about 30 inmates at the Colored Home and Orphanage and our people should contribute freely to its support. If you doubt the existence of the institution and its good, you will change your opinion after a visit. Frequently our people are refused by other institutions and sent to the Home. The Churches are becoming more interested in the destitute of our race. It is time that we were loyal to our own enterprises. Help this cause. Some day you may be forced to seek food, shelter and ralment within its walls, and we know not how soon it will be. Doors Which No Enemy Can Shut. There are many hindrances in the pathway of the aspiring colored man, but let it not be forgotten that there are open doors that no enemy can close, says the Washington National Union. In the professions, in the church, school, home and hundreds of industrial avenues we have a field for our highest activities. No one can prevent the blackest man from living a clean life. No one can rob us of the fruits of a Christian character nor the sweetness of lofty ideals. Keynote Among Knights of Pythias. From reports thus far received concerning the growth in membership, finance and mutual help to members of the order it seems that the Knights of Pythias as a secret organization is more than holding its own. The keynote among members of the various lodges is honesty, loyalty and efficiency. With these essential elements dominating the rank and file of the membership of any organization success is bound to follow. ATTY. W. R. MORRIS' BUSY TRIP. Atty. W. R. Morris is in New York and is meeting many friends and enjoying good health.

He will leave Sunday for Boston for the Elks Convention, where he represents Ames Lodge of Minneapolis, and will return home about Aug. 12th to arrange for the Knights Encampment at Indianapolis, Aug. 19. Atty. Morris has the rank of Brig. Gen., of the Uniform Rank of the Minnesota Knights of Pythias. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AN EDITOR Quarter Centenial to be Celebrated.
