Mccarthy is at the hospital at Clin-

mere fact that he came from ST. Paul

Coffee drinking used to affect my
nerves and stomach, but since we have
been using Postum in our family in
place of coffee the bloated feeling after
eating has disappeared and my head
is now clear and stomach and nerves
all right. We all feel better in every
way and find Postum just as satisfac-

AT meeting of the city council cy-
clone relief committee to be held this
afternoon Mayor Smith will take the.
stand that some action should be
taken at once, and that there is no
reason to delay final decision for
month.
1t does seem peculiar" said the
mayor yesterday, that members of the
council and other city officials should
hesitate to give the relief that is
needed. Money has often been voted
to other communities that have suf-
feFed by storms and cyclones, and no
question has been raised as to the le-
gality of the action. The commercial
bodies have also taken an interest in
the efforts to raise money for outside
sufferers. but it seems that when it.
comes to giving relief to our own zciti-
zens there is an inexplicable desire to
raise legal bubbles.
Il believe that relief should be
granted st. Sigfrid,s church, which
was destroyed also believe that
great many people whose homes are
their all have undertaken repairs upon
the theory that the city would assist
them. 1t seems that the magnitude of
the catastrophe which overlook the
city has been lost sight of, but from
the few trips that I have made it is
evident that there is need of assist
ance. While much of the damage done
by the cyclone has been repaired, it is
evident that such OUTLAWS could not
have been made in many instances
without sacrifice, and I believe that it
is our duty to sift the cases that have
been brought before the committee
and make the allowances at once The
longer a matter of this kind is de-
layed the more difficult it will become
to agree.
1t has been asserted that the COM
naittee was imposed upon in one or
two cases. 1t occurs to me that when
money has been sent to other COM
munities from st. Paul there has been
no question of misapplication, and GER
tainly the local sufferers are as much
entitled to relief as those at Johnstown
or any other point overtaken by a ca
lamity in which there was great prop
erty loss.
II shall request the committee to at
once make the allowances thought nee
essary and carry out the plan to bor-
row what is deemed requisite to meet
the actual needs of the citizens,
whether the amount is $4,000 or $15.-
900. There has been plenty of time to

-, Elder j. M. Webb. coiored apostle of
The Church of God. Seattle wash ;,
occurred yesterday in st. Paul to prove
tnal christ was mula tto-.arot a black
man, YET negro in the American ac
ceptance of the term" But the elder
was not welcomed as a learned exeeete
Even Inc local pastors of his own race
wouid NOT grant him the use of pulpit
AT mckinley hall, Western and University
avenues, he delivered his lecture to five
auditors
The arguments that Elder Webb drew
from his profound studies of the Scrjp-
lure We're, he said. most convincing AS
ne pointed out, one had merely to look
INTO Genesis and the fact would be plain.
NO" Aoam was not negro; the elder
dldn assert that But Ham, whose direct
descent from Adam is set forth In Gene
sis-Ham, OF course, was negro One of
RAMS sons was Canaan, and the land of
canaan naturally, was inhabited by
Canaan's descendants. Here Shuah, the
first wife of Judah, being "the daughter
OF certain Canaanite,'' was a negress.
What Elder Webb Believes
But according to St. Matthew O. 81
Christ was the descendant of Phares the
son of Judah, by his second wife, lamar
inasmuch as this fact wouldn't clearly in
dieate the Savior's blood relationship to
oNN~AA LII 81 WiiS, SluS eiO6r 1ifSlSIS lIdC
iamar was also a Canaanitish woman:
that is, as he believes, a negress. He does
not mention his authority for such be-
lief.
1t is not to be doubted, however, that
the elder could have quoted a convincing
text He can prove, for example, that
solomon was negro, and not a light
tinted negro either.
Does not the Song OF Solomon d. 81 de-
clare:
~ am black but comedy, we daughters
of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as
the curtains of Solomon
And, again, in the sixth verse, is it not
written:
/: Look not upon me because 1 am
black, because the sun hath looked upon
me-"
Where the Elder Disaerees
No statements could be more sweeping,
insists the elder; and he does not think it
necessary to add the beginning of the
next chapter, 81 am the rose of Sharon
and the lily of the valley" A black rose
in those days might have been esteemed
as highly as black lily. The fgurative
significance of the song, its probable ref
erence to Christ and his church-this is
point upon which Elder Webb wholly
disagrees with the other commentators.
The descent of Christ was the essential
truth to be demonstrated by the lecturer,
and to that he devoted yesterday most OF
his renderings out of the original tongues
Yet, were the matter at all doubtful, he
was equally well prepared to show st.
Paul. as he has already shown Seattle,
that King David was a negro, and that
the beautiful Queen Of Sheba was not
colored, but was born that way
After lecturing again in st. Paul, Elder
Webb will address more willing ears at
Zion City as soon as Dr. Dowie sends the
desired permission. The elder has been
awaiting this permission for several days.
