CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR NOTES.
"a Bad Bargain" the Topic for Dis
cuaaiOn Tomorrow

"a Bad Bargain" the Topic for Dis
cussfon Tomorrow.
The topic for discussion by Christian En-
deavorers tomorrow will be "A Bad Bar
GAIN with reference in Gen. 25:29-34. The
comment on this theme is that "A man is
sure to make bad bargain unless he is a
good Judge Of the value of what he is buying
and selling. A little of the world looks very
large in our eyes, and honesty, purity, con-
science, the soul itself are recklessIy bar
tered for it, regardless of the Masters
question.
THE following are some suggestions for
the fall 'get-every body-to-work' meeting:
Secure more new members; make the
prayer meeting more attractive; make the
socials more successful; make the mission
airy meetings more attractive; an open par
lament

At Friends meeting (orthodox) Miss Ellen
Clayton of Birmingham, England, gave an
interesting missionary address the 18th in
stant with personal "reminiscences of her
own work and observations during seven
teen years on Mount Lebanon. BY con-
Quoting a dialogue with Miss Cadbury she
illustrated the prolix oriental salutations,
many Bible illusions thus becoming clear
in the light Of eastern customs and speech.
The usual series of social gatherings at
the meeting house will begin next Wednes-
day evening with Summer "reminiscences"

THAT WHITE HOUSE DINNER.
Protests Against the Southern CIamor
at the President.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
The President OF the United States in the
exercise of his right to invite whom he
pleases to dine at his family table. needs
neither apologist nor defender. and Ii is not
as such that l write but only to express
the opinion that the papers and people now
making a senseless attack on him for hav-
ing invited Booker T. Washington 10 din
ner do not voice the sentiments OF any
considerable number OF persons in the
south. Had the President invited a number
of southern gentlemen or even one south
ern white man to meet Booker T Wash
ington IL would have justly excited general
indignation, because the racial feeling In
the south is generally understood that
such action by the President could only
have been construed as an Intentional In
suit TO the white people Of that section: but
the President did nothing Of the kind
Booker T. Washington met, or is reported
to have met, only the Presidents family
one else has right to. But that is not all.
If 1t be conceded that the moral improve
ment of the negro race I'm the south must
tend to the general good of that sectiOl
and il Booker T. Washington is laboring
intelligenuy and faithfully to that end
and this. think, is not disputed-then the
southern people ought not only to feel no
indignation at the Presidents having be-
slowed on this colored man some signal
mark of the esteem in which he holds him,
but should applaud that act as an addl-
tional evidence of the Presidents good will
toward the south. and / believe that south
ern people, with few exceptions. will so
accept it.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:


One cannot but be surprised at the vol
ume of abuse and SANDER aimed at our
chief executive for having entertained a
citizen at his table; a man who is acknowl-
edged as leader, and who has done more
to develop and raise his own people NOR
ally. mentally and financially, than any other
man in this country. If there is a distinc-
ton, his people represent in many sections
as far as l have met, especially in the
south, far more law abiding. taxpayfng
and good citizens than the hordes of worth
less whites that surround every southern
community. | doubt very much IL our chief
executive had to invite political BOSSES yea
even mercenary Pharisees from high places
to his table, whether very many would
rank with Booker T. Washington as men
of honor and uprightness and true advO-
Gates for their countrys veal. / may add
that many years ago, my maternal grand
father entertained Frederick Douglass
(then a slave / believe) at dinner at his
home in England, and the seclusiveness of
an English home I'm those days would I'll
compare with the democratic principles
that should be expected in a republican
country. T.
