important things will come up before
this body for settlement, and one, that
is being as much discussed as any, is
the management of the Sunday-school
printing department located in this
city. This department was organized
in 1882 by DR.. G. S. Smith, now
Bishop Smith, who was the first
Negro in this country to attempt
to publish Sunday-school literature.
Bishop Smith proved to the 9th.
er religious denominations among
Negroes what it was possible to do.
He remained at the head of the de-
partment eighteen years, being elected
Bishop in 1900 His successor, DR.. w.
d. Chappelle, has had charge of the
department only eight years, and it
looks now as if he will be promoted
to the bench of bishops. There seems
to be a growing sentiment in favor
of electing for his successor a man,
first, who is practical printer and
business man; and, second, man who
is not eligible to be elevated to the
position of bishop. The best minds
are beginning to realize that it is i'm
possible to keep that department up to
its present high standing and abreast
with the publishing fraternity if the
head of the concern is to be changed
every eight or twelve years, and that
in this age of modern and constantly
changing of the mechanism of print
ing machinery an unframed man can
not compete with twentieth century
publishers. Mr.. D. A. Hart, who is

EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY
SERVICES AT FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH.

The eighth anniversary of the pas
toral service of Rev. w. S. Ellington,
A. B., with the First Baptist Church,
of Eighth avenue, North, was fittingly
observed last Sunday morning at
eleven o'clock by an appropriate pro
gram arranged for the Srcasion. The
day opened fair and beautiful-an
ideal spring morning-which, coupled
with the announcement of the special
service in honor of the pastor, acted as
a compelling incentive to the outpour
ing of the people. The auditorium was
filled with a most intelligent and cul-
tured audience-one that would have
honored any occasion and inspired
any speaker.
Deacon w. H. Hightower, Master Of
Ceremonies, in his general remarks,
gave a splendid review of the work
of the church under the pastorate of
Rev. Ellington. He said that as pas
tor Rev. Ellington has filled his sacred
charge with admirable fitness, credit.

ifested. But there are many who do
not feel able to pay an admission fee
to hear them. Realizing the scarcity
of money, the committee having this
matter in charge, set about to find a
remedy The object was to arrange
the dates and hours so that aus little
expense as possible might be incurred.
Their efforts have been successful, as
they were able to secure the st. John
A. M. r. Church three Sunday after
moons at an hour when lights
would not have to be used and the
house would already be warm.
The first of a series Of three lee
lures will be delivered next Sunday
evening by Rev. w. S. Ellington, pas.
tor of the First Baptist Church and
editorial secretary at the National
Baptist Publishing House. Rev Mr.
ellington will lecture to both men ant
women, and not to women only, as
was stated in the last issue of The
Globe.
SDecial music will be a feature a
each lecture. On next Sunday Mis-
Javinia McLemore will render a Sc

FoRAKER's STAND.

Senator Foraker's report declared
that the testimony of the eye witnesses
against the negro soldiers is not reli-
able and that no motive for their al
legged connection with the affray had
been shown. He summed up the testi-
mony taken by the Senate Committee
as follows:
"That it wholly fails to identify the
particular individual or any of them
who participated in the shooting; that
it fails to show that any of the dis.
charged soldiers of the Twenty-1fth In
fantry had entered into any agreement
or so-called conspiracy of silence or
that they withheld information pos

he clings to the wrong, like Ephraim
to his idol.
1t was the order of the Senate in
having a committee on military affairs
to investigate the wholesale discharge
without honor of the soldiers. that
blocked his game in his order issued
December II, 1906, through the Sec
retary of War, which was as follows:
Applications to re-enlist from form
er members of Companies B, G and d,
Twenty-fifth Infantry, who were dis
charged under the provisions of spe-
cial order No. 266, War Department,
Nov 8, 1906, must be made in writing
and be accompanied by such evidence,
also in writing, as the applicant may
desire to submit, to show that he was
neither implicated in the raid on
Brownsville, Tex, ON the night of
Aug. 13, 1906, nor withheld any evi-
dence that might lead to the discovery
OF the perpetrators thereof"
The message itself shows that that
passage Of Scripture, pride goeth be,
fore destruction, a naughty spirit be-
fore fall" is the exact position of
Mr.. Roosevelt. His pride will not per.
NIT him to make an honest confession
of his wrong-doings, but his haughti.
ness is certain to be his downfall. Not
only his, but the overthrow Of the re-
publican administration is evident un.
less the Senate reverses his order in
the Brownsville affair.
There were four reports from the
committee, the majority being signed
by Senators Warren, Lodge, Warner.
Dupont, Taliaferro Foster, Overman.
Frazier and McCreary. A minority re.
port was signed by Senators Foraker,
Scott, Bulkeley and Hemenway. The
majority report found as follows:
