church without being given an OPP
portunity to go to the front OF the
church as the choir sang some
choice music. Great connections
was incident to this made OF lift
ing collection. 1t took time and
caused general confusion. These
are days of reform in all branches.
Reason takes the place of preju-
dice, custom and ignorance. The
A M. E. church has made a move
in the right direction by dropping
few of the customs that do not
belong to the day and are not
born Of the best thought. Such
growth evidences the values OF
the church to the community.
This church is in better condition
both spiritually and financially
than it has been for a number OF
years, Uuder the leadership and
hearty and intelligent cooperation
of Rev. I. Reeves, the church
has moved forward. Today its class
collections pay the salary of the
minister and other contingent ex-
penses, its friends and visitors are
on the increase and there seems to
be a general awakening and laud
able rivalry among its membership
to see who can do the most good
The audiences are composed of
both white and colorel, and the
addresses are scholarly, full of
good thought and give food for
reflection. The secret Of the sac
cess is that the minister and the
members are working together.
Rev. G. M. Williams is doing
ycoman service for the East Side
Baptist church. II, too, is in bet
ter financial and spiritual condi-
ton. The members are working
with their pastors for the good of
the church. There was a time
when an officer was stationed at
the door of the church to keep or
der, but Rev. Williams has been
so energetic and strict that none
but gentlemen and ladies are visi-
tors at his services. He is now
working for new church home
and is meeting with marked sue
cess by friends and those inter
ested in church affairs. The
church has larger and more ac-
tive membership than even before
and it is due to constant work and
unity.
The First African Church OF
Christ IS presided over by f.
Lomack. He has lot on one OF
the principal thoroughfares on
which he proposes to build a hand
some editice. He says that the
foundation stone has been contrib
utcd and some money.
Rev. T. A. Clark is the pastor
of the Eighth church Of Christ,
which holds meeting in Webster's
Hall on Center street. What his
plans for the future are we are not
in Il position to state.
Burns Chapel M. E. church is
led by Rev. Mr.. Sallinger, who is
an energetic gentleman and we
hope for him success in his new
field of labor.

Nobody is asking Major Nc
Kinley to define his views with
respect TO the tariff. Why should
he be asked to do anything Of the
kind. when his record for twenty
years is so we'll known? For the
same reason why should he be
asked now to define his views on
the money question BY his
speeches and votes in congress he
has placed himself on record as
opposed to debased currency,
and he has openly declared on the
stump in Ohio since he left con
gress that he is for sound money.
Only his enemies are asking for
his views on the financial question.
The congressman from this dis
trict will have to tell his views on
whether or not he is in favor Of
giving all people in all parts OF
this county the right of trial be-
fore the proper court, and whether
or not he is in favor Of the general
government seeing that the laws
are properly administered if it
takes all the powers of ihe gov
eminent to administer the same;
and whether or not he is in favor
OF enforcing the laws in regard to
fair and honest elections in all
parts of the country to all citizens,
These matters have been used fol
campaign purposes long enough
1t is time for action.
