great good and, if given the proper
support, is destined to accomplish
much for the working women of our
race. We refer to the Woman's Day
Home Club.
This Club has secured a building in
desirable section of the city and is
caring for the children of working
women while the mothers are attend
ing to their daily labor. The home is
supported exclusively by charitable
gifts and by the funds which the god
ly women connected with it are able
to raise from entertainments given at
their homes and various churches.
Few of us are able to give outright
any considerable sum for the support
of this worthy institution, but almost
every one can help by attending these
entertainments and spending ten or fif-
teen cents. These women are work
ing for the betterment of the race and
should have the undivided support of
all the citizens of Nashville.

SPECIAL TOURIST sLEEpERs.

An excursion rate has been an
nounced for the Baptist Sunday School
Congress and Young Peoples Chautau-
qua to be held in New Orleans, La,
June rs to July 1. The rate will be
one fare plus rs cents for the round
trip. In other words from Nashville
the fare will be $17.00 for the round
trip. The tickets will be on sale June
"a and 25. All lines running in the
Southeastern territory, which includes
east of the Mississippi, south of the
Ohio and Potomac Rivers, will sell
tickets on this occasion. Tickets good
to return leaving New Orleans up to
and including night of July 1.
1t is learned that special Pullman
tourist car has been secured for the
occasion. Berths will be sold at $1.75.
Two people can occupy one berth. The
car will remain in New Orleans till the
close of the Congress in order to bring
the delegates back the same route for
the same rate of fare.
1t is already estimated that this
New Orleans meeting will be the lar
gest yet conducted by the Baptists in
recent years. Nearly every Baptist
minister in Nashville and many of the
Sunday school workers, together with
young people who contemplate taking
vacation, will possibly take in this
trip.

go in wagons, some in carriages, and
still others on the street cars. And
since there is no admission fee to the
park, and the entire services are free,
it is expected that a large attendance
will be present if the weather is good.
The Children's Day celebration will
add no expense whatever to the chill
dren or their parents except their con-
veyance. The program, while it could
not be obtained, will be one of interest.
Good singing and able addresses will
he delivered and the children will be
given a religious outing at this beauti-
full resort The churches have no spe-
cial services in the afternoon Hence
the selection will not interfere with
any of the regular services. The audi
once will not be composed only of
Baptists. Hundreds of friends of vari-
Gus denominations will be in attend
ance, as the invitation is extended to
ALL Many will probably spend the en-
tire day at the park.

WITH THE MUSICIANS AT FISK.
To The Nashville Globe:

To The Nashville Globe:
Last Friday evening in spite of the
threatening weather, Fisk Memorial
Chapel, the scene of so many brilliant
musical performances that even the
walls must ring, was filled with the
elite Of Nashville, awaiting the open
ing Of the evenings entertainment.
Pretty girl ushers all in white like the
butterflies of the springtime graceful
ly showed the patrons their seats.
Promptly at eight o'clock the Glee
Club arose like one man, and coming
forward to the front of the platform,
gave to the listening audience the
first measure of their opening song.
From that time to the close it was a
series OF most beautiful melodies, rich
in pathos, as in the Old Negro Folk
song or plantation melodies, wrapped
in the beauty of which we were taken
back through the years and could see
and feel our grandsires and grand
mothers stealing away in the shadows
of night to worship God, the God that
would set them free. And it seemed to
me as the sweet strains tolled on and
on that religion in those days was bet
ter and purer than it is now. God
was more real to our grandfathers.
Mr.. Myers scored a great hit in his
rendition of a Negro Love Song not
yet published. And he is always hap
py and pleasing in his select readings
from Dunbar. This time as always he
brought forth great applause.
AS | sat and listened to the deep,
full, rich tones of this male choir,
now expressing some deep religious
sentiment, again bursting forth in
tones OF love, and dying softly away
in the depth of perfect harmony and
sweetness, my mind ran down through
the ages. paused on the threshold of
time, and felt in my heart, yes, in my
inmost soul, that a race which can
produce such singers must and will
come out of the depths and be in the
front rank of all nations, and at last
sing their way to destiny, to be a great
nation, and sing their way to God. We
went out in the stiffness of the night
with the sweet strains still ringing
in our ears, benefited and refreshed
and in spite of the fact the lightning
had been flashing the sky was clear
and the stars shone out.

A WORTHY CHARITY.

A Northern woman, who has Ia
bored increasingly from the close OF
the Civil War to the present in the
interest of the orphan children OF our
race in a neighboring city, recently
stated that we, as race, make no ell
fort to better the conditions of the I'M
fortunate members of the race. She
asserted that in her effort to help the
orphan she had been compelled to rely
almost solely upon the income from
her own fortune, which was meagre,
and the contributions of friends in
the North.
We fear there is too much truth in
rhis indictment by a true and tried
friend to be relished, yet we are aware
that a majority neglect charities, not
because they do not recognize the
need of contributions for the support
of such work, but because they are
not far enough removed from charit-
able donations themselves. To epit-
omize the Negroes opinions of chart
ties. he is too poor. as a race, to do
very much for his fellowman. His
great battle is to uplift himself.
The Negro, though, is recognizing
the duty he owes those less fortunate
than himself and is gradually exerting
himself through religious and other
sources to reach the unreached. A
movement in Nashville, organized by
savne of our philosophical women

A FEW HINTS TO CONTRIBUTORS.

A FEW HINTS TO CONTRIBUTORS.
We would call our correspondents
attention once again to the fact that
we will not publish communications
sent to us unless the name of the send
er is signed thereto. We Go not re-
Guest the name of the sender for pub
LEGATION, but as guarantee OF good
faith. Likewise we would emphasize
that copy must be written only upon
one side of the paper.
Frequently we receive communica-
tions from contributors who violate
these rules and consequently their con-
tributions reach the waste basket.
Others favor us with items that we
would be glad to use, but can not be-
cause the writing, which is done with
a pencil, is illegible.
The Globe is anxious to have live
items from any or all of its readers,
and our communication COLUMN 10
open for the expression of the opinion
of our subscribers. We must insist,
however, that those writing communi-
cations sign their real names for the
benefit of the editors. Likewise we
must insist that all copy be written
only upon one side of the paper. We
make a special request to our friends
that they write with ink when sending
us items. If these requests are heed
ed, fewer articles will find their way
to the waste basket and The Globe will
be freer from the errors occasioned by
illegible writing.

AFTER SCHOOL.
TO The Nashville Globe:

TO The Nashville Globe:
After spending very pleasant and
successful year at Atlanta Baptist Col
lege, from which school took the de-
gree of Bachelor of Arts, | boarded
the train for my dear old home in
Tennessee. There were eight in the
party to make the trip together, which
was planned some time before. We
left Atlanta in early morning so as to
CLEAN full scope of the magniflcence
of nature between that city and Nash
Vile. We were delighted by the scene
presented by the spiked headed, state
ly forest pines of Georgia, some of
which, in their gigantic size, almost
bespoke their lineage from the ancient
walking cane of Polyphemus, but al
most like the passing of the glorious
sun from behind a dark cloud was the
change in the natural scenery when
we crossed over into the beautiful state
of Tennessee Instead of rolling beds
of red and swampy land we saw beau
tiful grassy valleys intercepted by
gradually rising peaks which, | might
say, in their perfect physiognomy al
most seemed to be homemade. Far
reaching landscapes clothed in the ex-
quisite vestments that nature had law
ished upon them passed before our
eyes and held us almost spellbound on
the tiptoe of expectation. AS the sun
from the west laid waste all the cold

The public schools have closed an
other successful year. Next year
manual training will be added to the
course of instruction. This, we be-
lieve, will make the public schools of
Nashville the first in Tennessee to
provide such training for its colored
youth. We have cause to feel proud
of these schools. They are the best
in the South.
