1t perceiVes that unless the general

of former selections, sOmething-per-

ranks of those from whom after all
these men, set apart for the service of

their aspirations are not vain. There
are many worthy possibilities in the
church who can sustain the shock of
apostolic lightning without a CULVER

which after all, the great Negro has
TO come and will continue to come,
there are magnificent possibilities.
one, for example, is Rev. G. w. Allen,
ID d., OF Girard, Ala, the presiding
elder of the Montgomery district of
hic church, a scholar, a newspaper
man an organizer and an orator.
DR.. Aliens early life was not dis
similar to the experience OF many
other Negroes who have won distinc-

Negroes the fact of oppression and
suppression, the determination to rise

The recital of his ACCOMPLISHMENTS
since he adjusted himself to the work
OF the Christian ministry is most en-
tertaining. He has built up four dis
tinct, effective churches in places
where the seed of Methodism had pre-
v1OuSly refused to take root. With
a lively sense of the best means of
Influencing others he did not fail to
cherish his personal fortunes, so that
when the fate of any of his tentative
efforts to create a Methodist entity
in any community was trembling in
the balance, it was in his power as
1t was to make himself acceptably and
generously responsible for his f1Ocks
financial excursions. Nor did they al
ways respond to his generosity In
at least one instance his whole landed
estate was swept away by too much
confidence in the plighted word of his
congregation. This however did not
dampen his ardOr, for, like all other
altruiStic acts, his argosies of unSelf-
iShneSS have returned to him freighted
with the wealth of iridescence
He is one of the solid financial fac
tors of the church and his elOquence
and Cody life added to his personal
popularity in the connection make
him a formidable candidate for the
highest gifts of the church. Alabama
puts him forward as her favorite son,
and her loyalty to the church and de-
vOtiOn to its highest impulses and
aims will give her voice the potency
to achieve her wish for her chosen
clergyman. who is the product of her
soil and the unselfish laborer in her
vineyard.

According 10 the dispatch, President
Roosevelt has already made up his mind
TO call the session, but it is said that he
is in doubt as to whether it would not
be better TO get the Senators and Rep
resentatives together at an earlier date.
He is said to believe that November
would be rather late, Congress would
hardly have time to settle the Cuban
reciprocity matter before the regular
session begins.
With this point in view, it is report ed
that be is considering the advisability of
making the date September l. This prop
osition was laid before him while he was
in Chicago. Several men who stand high
in party councils and two Senators were
in the party when the proposed change
in dates vas laid before the President

are not favorable at heart TO the reci-
procity treaty could stave off action IL
the session were called for November
until the beginning OF the regular ses-

should be called in September, with
ninety days before it. the action of the
senators would probably be different.
