WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.

he women of the sixteenth century and earlier times had easier lives tbnn those of our generation To be sure. there are hundred labor saving de vices to-day which were 4uknewn 10 them.

DR.. CORROTHERS.

DR.. Sylvester L. Corrothers returned
from Boston last week, and preached to
full house Sunday at Galbraith. DR..
Carrothers will begin a series Of services
Sunday, September I, to last two months
DR.. Corrothers is one Of the best-known
preachers at Washington. In the Lass
FIVE years he has built up one of the
best congregations in the city, his fear
less and bold defense of his people has
won for him the goodwill of the race
loving people of the whole city.
His severe criticism of Booker T.
Washington and his followers, his de-
nouncement Of Roosevelt and Taft, his
criticism of the Negro bishops and Ne
gro preachers who upheld the Presi-
dent and his crowd in their treatment Of
the Negro, places him at once in oppo-
sition to the old school of leaders, aad
a formidable power to be reckoned with
in the new order of things.
If you want to witness a great service

The Prophet
CHURCH OF GOD AND SAINT
OF CHRIST.

The Church of God and Saints Of
Christ IS the name Of a recent estab-
lished religious denomination This
church is situated at the northwest cor
ner of Fourth street and New York
avenue northwest The pastor of this
new institution is deaf and blind, and
unable to walk. He is known as the
Black Prophet Elipah" This Is the
name given to him by his followers. The
prophet owns several brick houses in
the city, and he is always brought TO
his church in two-horse hack. with
two female members on either side OF
him and a male member, who acts as
his foOtman.
He has a peculiar art in getting the
coin He knows how to draw money
out of the pockets of his members.
1t is said that he has several branch
churches throughout the country who

keep his treasury we'll filled.
His daughter, it is said, IS MS collec-
tor. and every week she goes TO the
postoffice. where she receives several
hundred money orders from the differ
cnt branches.
A representative Of The Bee attend
ed his services last Sunday evening and
on entering he found the services IN
full blast. The choir sings without the
aid of an instrument, and its peculiar ac-
ton in the rendition of the hymns IS
new to the other denominations.
The church was crowded with a num-
Der Of curious Methodists last Sunday
evening. who became very indignant.
They remained throughout the services
and did not realize their anger until
after the dismissal Of the church serv-
ices, and then you could hear them say
that the prophet should be arrested. He
does nothing but abuse all other denom-
nations. He declared that the only
true church of God IS his; all others are
fallirs.
The indignant Methodists were very
much excited Sunday evening, and they
did not fail to express themselves.
The prophet went to Richmond, Va, a
few weeks ago and very soon after they
held two services; the entire crowd, in
GLIDING the prophet, had to leave the
city at once. The authorities took the
matter in hand, and it was not long be-
fore they were convinced that Rich
mond was no place for the prophet.
The prophet has an interpreter, who
informs the people what his wishes and
desires are. When his interpreter de-
clares what the will of the prophet IS,
the prophet runs his hand over his
mouth and eyes, as if to say what "a
we'll, don't mention it.
The prophet is king, and his subjects
obey. You should see and hear the
prophet.

VeTROn'S Manhood
MANLY UTTERANCES.

From the Topeka State Journal.
The Topeka (Kansas) State Jouanal,
in speaking of the NegroBusinessLeague
that met there August "a, IS and TO-
has this to say concerning the eloqueEt
and manly speech of Register w.
Vernon:
If the American Negro can acquire
the courage and optimism that is now
shown by his leaders in the National
Negro Business League, there is nos
much doubt about a great advance Of
the colored race at all points. w. T.
Vernon, who addressed the meeting a
Representative Hall last evening, is tie
Registrar of the United States Treasury
"a man who has achieved somethina.
Mr.. Vernon is a Kansan, holding a rs-
sponsible position with the governments
which he fills in a satisfactory mar
ner, and is therefore qualified to talk
on The Negro and the Nation" which
was his subject Mr.. Vernon is a frrz
people in winning political equality in
tbs country, and is jealous of every
right of his race under the Constits-
ton. He believes that the Negro must
win success right where he is and be
part of this nation.
Among other things he said: "Tke
growth and spread of goodness in man
kind has given the American Negro
cause to look up and take hope. The
sentiment of the better people of this
country is to help US all they can.
The direct primary system which =
being advanced In many parts of the
North is a great step in advance to
ward better government Other gov
ernments have risen and fallen because
they forgot some Of the essentials to
their existence. Rome forgot the found
alton Of fraternity, liberty and equality
upon which she builded, and fell Gov
ernments have continued to rise and
fall, but still this country of ours has
gone On succeeding until now We have
the greatest nation on the lace OF the
earth he AIaerican repablic Is really
the light of the world, and ! am proud
TO say that the American Negro IS help
ing in this worward movement. / ana
certain that the best people of Amer
ica are in sympathy with us. Stats
tics show that we are going forward
all the time. 1t is this story of hops
that | like to hear. | like 10 remembsT
that during the dark days of the CiV2
War the Negro did not commit crime
against those of the white race coz
fined to his care.
4 do not believe that the Negro race
should go elsewhere to find its Oppog-
tuniy. We are going to work out our
destiny right here in this country be-
cause that is the only thing to do And
the day is coming, too, when in this
country all men will recognize the IA
the-hOod of God and the brotherhood Of
man. The race that can produce such
mcn as Booker T. Washington and
many others whom I might name-meA
who accomplish results-need have no
fear of the future. We are going to
work out a wonderful result in this
country. This nation is going on 70
greater things and the doctrine is going
to spread over the whole earth uRdes

went abroad this year to represent the

Convention. He is a thorough race man
who has the confidence and respect Of
the best people in the United States.
This new enterprise is for the interest
of the colored people.

EDITOR FORTUNE TO RETIRE.
1t is reported on the best authority
that the distinguished editor of the New
York Age, Editor Z, Thomas Fortune,
has been converted and that he will give
up journalism and join the ministry.
It is claimed that he IS tired of the
sins of the world and the many years
he has endeavored to reform his peo-
pie through the press, and failed, he
has an idea that in the pulpit he will
be more effective.
Just when the astute editor will enter
his new field of labor The Bee has not
yet been informed. It will be some
time soon, however.
Editor Fortune first entered the field
of Journalism in this city under the
tutorship of Prof. J. w. Cromwell, who
was at that time editor Of the Peoples
Advocate. He went to New York and
established the paper called the Globe.
After the death of the Globe he estab-
Iished the New York Age.
The Bee a few weeks ago published
an article that Editor Fortune was az
advisory editor of the Age. The fol
lowing week he came out and denied
the truthfulness of The Bees article,
and said among other things that no
man would attempt to control his edi-
torial column. 1t is a fact, however,
that the Age has changed hands, and
the new editor is a prohibitionist and
Editor Fortune is only the president
of the company.
The colored American pulpit will well
come Il c editor to its fold, and very
shortly The Bee hopes to publish the
first sermon that the well-known jour
nalsit will deliver.
Long live Rev. Thomas Thomas For

SECRETARY JORDAN'S NOTES.

promises to be the most glorious in the
history of Negro Baptlsts.
4 have long since ceased to pray
Lord Jesus, have compassion upon a

Lord rebuking me for making such a
prayer. He seemed to say to me, I

and now it is time for you to have
compassion. "A. J. Gordon.
After Mytese, King of Uganda, had
announced himself a follower of Christ
and the Christian Book, he as forced to

us are more than they that be with

be encouraged, for "they that be with

continue a Christian while I live"
