Advertising For Churches Pay
This Preacher Says Even Church Should Let Public Know They Are Enterprising
Anderson, Sept. 23rd- Advertising for churches, as well as for commercial lines, when conducted properly, is a paying investment is the conclusion of a majority of the members of the Ministerial Association of this cty
The Rev. W. R. Parr, of the Hope Congregational Society led in the discussion and said he was a firm believer in the value of advertising. He said he did not mean to employ extraordinary methods of attracting attention to his church, neither did he mean or expect to get his church advertisements free, but judicious advertisement paid for. The church he thought should make itself well known in the community and should keep the public informed of their progress, services, etc. for the public good and for the benefit of strangers who may come to their city.
Anti Race Suicide Record
A most remarkable example of human multiplication in the Negro race was disclosed last week in Montgomery, Ala., by an inquiry into the career of Neal Henderson, the well known hack driver in that city, who was recently fatally injured. He was the twenty-fifth child of Edna Henderson, a nonogenarian who lives on Fulton street. And still Neal Henderson is not the last child born of Edna Henderson, he was only the twenty-fifth, while he was followed by another brother who was born in the 80's, and made the twenty-sixth and last child.
Mrs. Henderson enjoys good health and her life extends far back in the ante-bellum days, and she has been wonderfully preserved. Her constitution is good and she feels buoyant in anticipation of some more years. But no more children for her. Her third and last husband died in 1884 and she says she has never entertained any hope or idea of marrying again She has joined the widow's ranks for good and is now enjoy-
ing a comfortable existence in Beauty a Ma her home on Fulton street.
Negro Preacher Demands Equality.
White Min'sters Applaud His Touching Defence of Race
Philadelphia, Pa.,—“I am socially as good as any white man here.” Aroused by the attitude of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, which desires to unite with the Methodist Episcopal church on condition that the 'color line be tightly drawn and Negroes excluded,' the Rev. Storer L. Jolly, a Negro minister of Atlantic City, made this statement before the Methodist minister in Wesley hall. Further he said: "Since God Almighty has not held us responsible for the color of our skins I don't see why it should be criticised by the church' The ministers applauded his speech.
Negro Towns
Mound Bayou. Bolivar county, Mississippi, is situated in the rich delta regions of the state of Mississippi. Mound City is a considerable town of both size and importance. It was promoted by Hon. I. T. Montgomery, a leading colored man of the state, who was at one time a servant in some capacity to Jefferson Davis, the president of the Conefderacy. This town is progressive, and everything is going right along, even the people are attending to their own business, working for high things in life, such as taking care of their families, and seeing that enterprise and business increase in the town. It's put everybody's shoulder to the wheel for Mound Bayou's success. The town is on the Illinois Central railroad. The officials are colored and most of the business institutions are being conducted by colored people. Hon. Chas. Banks, a very intelligent colored man, who was appointed United States census supervisor in 1900, by President McKinley, is the cashier of the bank put on foot in Mound Bayou by colored capital.
Brooklyn, Illinois, is another town officered entirely by colored people, and it has a population of nearly 2000, and it is said upon high authority that it is one of the best regulated communities in the state. The people are prosperous and are thrifty, energetic and their actions point to a very deserving attitude. Brooklyn has a board of school trustees; street commissioners, fire and poioice departments, health officers, and, in fact, all things belonging to a town of its charter class. The Indianapolis Freeman states that this town offers good inducements to colored business men. In Idaho is a town containing a larger population of white people than colored, still, several years ago, the whites almost demanded that Mr. Wood, a reputable colored citizen, take the mayoralty of the town. The pressure was so strong that Mr. Wood finally accepted and was elected. Most of the citizens of the town were miners, but they had faith in Wood because he was honest and intelligent.

Only General Agreement Is That the Power to Attract Is Unfailing Evidence of Its Possession.
"Beauty is a question for the blind to decide," remarked Aristotle when pressed for a definition. Later on he wrote a treatise on the subject, but the manuscript is not extant, and even if it were would ever be made to agree on the subject of beauty?
Men like Hegel, Schelling, Fichte, Emerson, Burke and Gautier wrote philosophical volumes and essays on this topic—none of them agreeing however.
All the poets, the artists and the musicians of the world have tried to tell what beauty is, and only on one single point has a general agreement been made evident—the essence of beauty is the power to attract. As to the secret of this power all the world disagrees.
The brilliant Gautier says: "A woman who is beautiful is brainy enough; that is, she has the quality of being beautiful. I prefer a pretty mouth to a fine mind. I would give fifty souls for a single well-formed
Japan Is But Re
More Than a Century Ago Reconquered Territory Was in the Undisputed Possession of the Island Empire.
An Englishman in Tokyo, writing of the Japanese conquest of Sakhalin island, says: "What the Japanese mean by their present operations may easily be inferred from the nomenclature they are adopting. They have called Aniwa bay by the name 'Higashi-Fushimi bay' to commemorate the destruction of the Novik by the Chitoe and the Tsushima, in the former of which ships Prince Higashi-Fushimi was then serving. So, too, Patience point has been renamed 'Kataoka Misaki' and Patience bay 'Shichiro Wan', in consideration of the fact that Admiral Kataoka Shichiro commands the naval expedition. Again, the two promontories of Shiretako and Notoro, on the east and west respectively of Aniwa bay, are to be called henceforth 'Juzozaki' and 'Kendo-zaki', after Kendo Juzo, chief librarian of the Tokugawa government at the close of the eighteenth century.

Dove of Peace, Driven from Home by Turbulent Scene, Again Hovers Over the Charcoal Flats in Serene Content.
The white-winged dove of peace flutters and coos over Charcoal flats and hovers trustingly in the ambient ether even where discord was wont to prevail. An armistice has been declared and the peace plenipotentiaries appeared before Recorder Fogarty yesterday morning, when the protocol was signed and the snowy-winged bird liberated. But the dove of peace has a wary eye skinned for trouble, for it is feared hostilities will break out anew, despite the friendly intervention of his honor, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Maudy Gould, a dignified matron of Charcoal flats, some time ago caused the arrest of Bill Sims, Chink Sims and Sam Sims on the charge of insult and abuse, and this morning agreed to withdraw the charge because the aforesaid dove had put in its appearance.

Too Often We Wait Until Too Late to Bestow Our Expressions of Love and Appreciation on Dear Ones.
It's an easy thing to say it.
And to say it good and strong,
And to say it is a cheap frequent;
For it hebs in a chap along.
Oh, of course, you pay him money,
Doubtless all that he is worth;
But does money and brother,
Represent the best of earth?
What's the good 'of keeping from him
Any good thing you might say
That will lift his load of labor
And is something more than pay?
If he's worthy of your praises,
Do you think that he'll be shack?—

ance in northern waters having reached Yeddo, Kondo Juzo was sent to investigate. He visited Etorafu island in the Kuriles and there found that the Russians, true to the occidental customs of mediaeval days, had appropriated the unguarded territory in that region by the simple device of setting up pillars to announce its occupation. Kondo removed these witnesses of theft and on his return to Yeddo published a book dealing with the questions of Sakhalin (Karafuto), the Kuriles (Chishima) and Kamchatka. The gist of his contention was that the only tribunal to which international disputes about boundaries could be appealed was the tribunal of areas and that if Japan hoped to rest secure within closed gates she must take steps to define those gates. "Now after the lapse of more than 10 years Kondo's foresight is to receive national recognition. Thus Japan is significantly pointing to the pages of history, where in clear terms her titles to this northern island are inscribed. She virtually announces her intention of not only recovering but also keeping."

Words of Praise
If you tell him he's a good one,
And put him on the back?
There are some who think it's praising
not to raise a row and kick.
And they'll pay an extra dollar
to be proud to be brave.
Put it back that their hearts—
It's the kind word and the thought
For the deed done and the doe,
Out of which the good is wrought.
As when the weary pilgrim,
Who has trod the long, hard way,
Will be proud to lose,
Measured to him day by day,
Hears the kind words of the Master,
Like the songs of cherubim:
"Well come, thou good and faithful"—
It is Heaven enough for him.

There is nothing which bespeaks progress of a people more than the fact that there is perfect harmony and only good will existing among them in all lines and avenues of life; and that each does all within their power to bring prosperity to their neighbor. There is nothing good that can come out of confusion—but great things can be accomplished by unity and harmony of purpose.
To no people is this more important than to the colored people, and to the colored people nowhere will do a more salient good than it will among the colored people of Wichita.
At the very best we can do but little to help each other, and the colored man is very unreasonable who is not willing to do that little which he can. We are proud to state, however, that at this writing more than at any other point we can say we are of the opinion that the colored people of Wichita now realize the advantages to be gained by their united efforts along all lines.
Why have bickering, why have backbiting, why have misunderstandings? We must mingle and comingle one with the other, if not from a matter of choice from a matter of compulsion, so why not be on friendly terms? Why not work in entire harmony and unity?
There may be times when one may escape the race, but every bird must come to the ground to get his food.
Let only peace, prosperity and unanimity of purpose prevail among the colored people of Wichita and let each feel the care of his fellow being.

SECOND CHURCH WICHITA SPEAKS.
To the Editor of the Searchlight.
To all God-loving, sober and progressive people, both saints and sinners, we beg a brief hearing and one moment's consideration.
Having read the column in your issue of the 16th inst. concerning Rev. S. M. Hall, pastor of the 2nd Baptist church of Wichta, Kansas, we, the members of said church wish to answer the statement in the same column. We know not from whence the statement came but say this: Every word concerning any charges and discord between Rev. Hall and his church is untrue. There is naught at issue between Rev Hall and the church over which he has charge, and we believe him to be a Christian gentleman and God sent pastor, and he has always acted such, not only towards his members, but to those who visit his church.
In regards to the rumors that are going of an ill nature about Rev. S. M. Hall, we wish plainly to say they are all untrue and therefore without foundation. The one who started them is not worthy of his or her place in this civilized nation and is a false maker and the father of them.—Rev'l 19:20. They physician, nurse, and many honorable brethren (men) are all here (in Wichita) who attended Rev. Hall during his painful illness and can be found any time you wish to ring them up. Come to the front and play the part of a man, or hush and let God's ministers and churches have a little rest.
As for the charges which the issue states were made at the Association the Second Baptist church made none whatever, and if anyone, be he whom it may, has made any charge, either direct or indirect, we brand him as a blackmailer and shall see that he is treated as such.
We would also call attention to the fact that God and his ministers make churches, God and his ministers and his real churches make associations, and conventions of every rank, associations do not make either churches or preachers.
Our "great" church at Wichita elected Rev. S. M. Hall for their pastor July, 1903; we do not regret our action, and are willing to stand by the same in 1905.
Rev. Hall is a member of the Second Baptist church, Wichita. His letter accompanied by a worthy recommendation from his church in Alabama, was deposited in our church Sunday May 15, 1904.
If some of those people who are finding as much fault with Rev. Hall would clean out their own house and get the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ in their souls, they would find more time to work for God and less time to find fault.
Of a truth, the Second Baptist church has selected one of the best men in the state for our pastor, one who truly knows how to treat his members right.
If Rev. S. M. Hall continues in the future as he has in the past, and with the help of God we KNOW he will, we, the members of his church, are satisfied.
Done by order of the church, September 17, 1905.

PASTOR SECOND CHURCH WICH-
ITA SPEAKS.
To whom it may concern: I, S. M. Hall was converted to Christ October 4, 1885, was baptized October 5, 1885. I was ordained to the gospel ministry October 26, 1887. I have built five houses of worship for God and the Baptist. Watch the Second Church, Wichita. We are planning and raising money to remodel our building in the near future. I am now a member of the Second Baptist church, Wichita, Kansas. We are here at work under God, and wish to say we have made improvements on our building at a cost of about $700 and have added to her membership about 40 persons. Still we are at work. We have no time to answer objections. God has called us to work and this we are going to do. My Bible makes the way hardly possible for illars, peace breakers and hypocrites. Beware. I am pleased with the Second Baptist church and the church seems to be pleased with me. We have no time to lose. Please excuse us.

NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS.
Last Sunday we organized the B. Y. P. U. We elected Sister Ida Frazier as president, Miss Lizzie Underwood secretary, Miss Ida Wilson treasurer, Mrs. J. Tipps president of the program committee. We also organized the Young People's Choir, which will furnish music for the occasion. The B. Y. P. U. will meet every Sunday at 6 o'clock. A very interesting program is prepared for Sunday evening.
The Lord has blessed our church work thus far, both spiritually and financially. We have been able to raise over $200.00 during this month and there have also been several new members added to the church and two waiting baptism. Pastor W. H. Burrill accepted the call August 27th and since said time, the church has taken on new life and peace and prosperity reign supreme among the members.
The amount raised in the rally, $122-60, we thank the members and friends for their liberal donation. The pastor and officers are doing all within their power to complete their new church by the fourth Sunday. We are about to close a deal on the old New Hope Baptist church for $900.00.
THE RALLY REPORT.
The Installation Rally was a success in spite of the bad weather. Sunday evening we had only a small crowd, yet the faithful few played their part. The pastor, W. H. Burrill, preached an able sermon, on "Christian Duties" after which he gave $5.22 in the col-
lection and all of his members and friends imitated his example of giving.

KNOCKERS.
Have you a knocker? No? Well, then hue thee to thy decorator's and order one—of brass. They are coming into to fashion again and are used principally for the doors of swell apartmedts. The spread-eagle Russian affair which comes in hammered brass is much affected, though to be distinctive—Which is everything—one should go in for the odd designs. There are other knockers, plenty of them, neither of the brass nor cast iron variety, but of cheek whose consistency is equally indurate, they were never out of fashion and their usefulness lies in the determination of a man's real worth, unsuald gauged by the number of these knockers he has.

The people of Wichita and for miles round about fully realize the Fulton is
Positively Going Out Of Business
Fulton prices cannot be duplicated. The goods are guaranteed to be up to the standard in quality and style, and the prices are all shot to pieces. We must dispose of the remaining $85,000.00 worth of goods within a comparatively short time. Our lease expires December 1995. There is no alternative. The goods must go. If they are not sold at retail they will be closed out at wholesale. This
