BISHOP AND MRS PHILLIPS EN-
TERRAIN AT EASTER
BREAKFAST.

Last Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
Bishop and Mrs. Chas. Henry Phillips
served a beautiful and most elabo-
rate breakfast at their home, Sun
shine" on Twelfth avenue, North.
The breakfast was given in honor of
two visiting ladies', Miss N. H. Bur-
roughs, of Louisville, formerly of
Washington D. c., and Mrs. George G..
Hall, wife of DR.. Hall, of Chicago. The
%four-course menu had been planned
for these two distinguished visitors in
order that they might partake of the
hospitality of some of the Nashville
people. Those invited to Sunshine"
to meet them were Mesdames James
L. Hunter, M. H. Flowers, A. B. Car
ter, Preston Taylor, H. T. Noeel, l. B.
Scott, Geo. w. Henderson, F. A. Stew
art V. w. Broughton, H. A. Boyd, Miss

Emma Phillips and Mrs. G. H. Phil
lips. Just before entering the dining
room the hostess called the names of
the guests and they filed in as their
names were called. Bishop Phillips
offered prayer and Miss Lucy Phillips
furnished music for the occasion.
While seated around the elegant and
beautifully decorated table the guests
present were called upon and respond
ed to toasts. The favors for the morn
ing were dainty Easter chickens, as

DELEGATIONS FROM THE NORTH
AND EAST. .
representatives Coming to Nashville
in Large Numbers to Participate
in TIE Great Religious Gather
ing, Says the Secretary
of the Congress
Movement.

Latest developments in the extern
sive preparations for the approaching
fourth annual session of the Nation
al Baptist Sunday-School Congress, ac-
cording to information given out at
Headquarters by the secretary of the
Congress Movement, give assurance
that the East and North will send
large delegations to the South in the
month of June. Nashville will be the
objective point and the Sunday
School Congress the attraction, while
the departmental work of the denom-
ination will create the incentive. No
information could be given as to who
would be in charge of these delega-
tons, but it is understood that special
invitations have been extended to
Sunday-school workers and the emil
nent divines in the Eastern States up
as far as New England. A%cceptances
and replies have reached headquar-
ters from such pastors as DR.. w. A..
Credit, Mr.. John Trower, Drs. e. w.
Moore, w. G. Parks, G. L. P. Talia-
ferrO, and others of Philadelphia; Drs.
Powell, Gilbers, Wisher, Brown, Book
err Trisby, and Epps of New York
City; and Drs. S. w. Timms, A. H.
Powell, L. T. Brown, and w. T. Dix
on, of Brooklyn. The Bostonian del
egation has not yet given a definite
reply, still there is a possibility of
Drs. S. J.. Comfort, c. A. Ward and
Farris, of Boston, as we'll as DR.. J..
Harrell, of Cambridge, while Provi-
dence will be represented by Drs. s..
w. Smith, E. H. Mcdonald and Wiley.
Not much has been heard from the
New Jersey delegation, but the opin-
ion as expressed at headquarters is
that there will be those from that
state who will take as active an in
terest in the Congress Movement as
their colaboTers, A recent letter
from DR.. S. w. Timms, Of Brooklyn,
removes all doubt of his coming, as
it states that he has arranged to at
tend. The secretary further states
that regular and constant correspond
ence between his office and the chair
man of the Trunk Line Association of
New York City has been kept up,
giving full information on the Con-
gress, so that rates could be secured.
From Cleveland comes the informa-
ton that Drs. Prince and Bailey will
bring a delegation from Northern
Ohio. From Columbus there will be
Drs. Burr, Thomas, Burr, Brother
Burke, and possibly Miss Penn. While
it is yet early to give out positive in
formation, these parties whose names
are mentioned are especially interest
ed to the extent that thy are working
and planning for an increased attend
ance from their various states. All
doubt as to the number Of delegates
from the various sections will be re.

clared that we know the worth of each

third and last sentence, cor you will

ly described. Her argument covered
one fact after another, brought about
and described ore condition after an
other, giving a solution of each. She
scored as a telling point the beating
to a fragile of our race especially the
would-be politicians, the attitude of
the present administration toward
those who had jumped over into the
"band wagon" on the eve of the cam
paign; those who had lodged issues
and silenced their guns on the out
RACES that had been perpetrated. She
declared that the present policy of the
administration, with possibly a few
exceptions, had beaten and was beat

champion of American Citizens rights
