THE TROUBLES OF A PREACHER.

The Rev. D. H. Carrick, of Law. renee, Kans.. Has retired from the pulpit 10 become a street car condue- tor ana in passing from one sphere of activity 10 another he takes occa. sion to sorrowfully call attention to the trials and tribulations that d preacher of the gospel and his wife are compelled to endure in this sinful and hairless world
 He says if his wife dresses decent ly the congregation thinks it is pay ing him more money than the work of saving their souls from eternal damnation is worth. or more, perhaps. than their souls are worth.
 If he wears pair of patent leather shoes they attract attention and the members of the church make him un- derstand that they helped to pay for the footwear,
 In the depths of his despondency he was sorely disturbed by doubts whe- ther a preacher cas live really hon. est life, so he concluded to throw up his job.
 ''If he breaches the truth" says Brother Carrick. he will be condemn. ing the lives Of most of his congrega- tion and offena-ng them. Instead of preaching their convictions, the min isters of the Gospel avoid anything that might tread upon personal grounds for fear of offense He passes over this and that and lives lie every day of his life in order not to offend the influential members of his congregation
 We are inclined to believe that the bilious view that the Rev Carrick sakes Of a pastors calling is the re suit of liver srabuble which may be easily removed by dost of calomel. soda and rhubarb.
 Some of the greatest preachers this counsry ever produced have endured hardghips that would cause Carrick's troubles to look like lawn fete but they were fired by zeal. and instead of hesitating to say what they believed they should say for fear of offending the rich and influential members of the congregation, they expounded the Gospel in way 70 put the fear of God into the hearts of the unhappy sinners.
 They wore cowhide boots and chin shoes or picadilly whiskers.
 They did not wear patent leather aassels and their rhetoric came straight from the shoulder with the force Of sledgehammer.
 The erfing brethren had to take the punishment that was coming to them O. get out of the fold and herd with the wicked and fhe peryeuse.
 There was no half way doings on the part of these old-time giants of j9 e pulpit. nor did they seek to please the members of their flock, but. on the lomnnry, they male the members please them by renouncing the devil and all his works and begging fog. giveness for sins at the mourners bench
 On earth the reward of these earn. est and pious old preachers of the Masters word was never much more than friend chicken and hot biscuits, but when the "call from labor" came,

when united they make each other
stronger and more useful.
Men are as mere clay in the p~otter's
hand and women may we'll be called
the potters. A woman is full of
brightness and her life is radiant with
smiles. A woman's smiles are always
inspiration to men. They are to him
a mountain rill that has just left it's
bubbling source, laughing and dancing
amid the beauty and freshness Of the
scenery, kissing the flowers that dip
their fragrant lips in its lucid waters
and smiling in glad sunshine, before
it reaches the great ocean of life.
This freshness and gladness so inner
ent in woman are impaired to the man
and charm and add to his life. The
outgoing gladsomeness, subdued by ex-
perience into a refined and happy ten
derness, is like flowers and fruit daily
ing amid the foliage of the same
Dough. Like the single star which ap-
pears at early twilight in the clear
blue sky the women are pursuing their
silent but unvarying course, unknown
and unnoticed by the world.
Inspiration, one of the greatest
powers in the world, is the highest and
most excellent lever on earth and as
the mere presense of women lends in
spiration to any cause then let them
continue to inspire. This, though lit
tie, may seem insignificant; some
thoughtful bard has expressed the
value of little service in the follow
ing:
81 heard it on the meadow path!
l heard it on the mountain stair
The best things any mortal hath
Are those which every man may
share"

A MOST CONVENIENT GARMENT.

Few ministers are fully prepared on
baptizing days to go into the water,
unless they have one of our baptismal
garments. These garments are water
proof, being made Of the best grade
of rubber and black cashmere. The
rubber is overlaid with this grade of
goods, and the trousers, with the boots,
make up the article, thus proving very
satisfactory to ministers who have a
large number of candidates to be bap-
tized. There is this advantage if
nothing more, you can go direct from
the pulpit into the baptismal pool, or
the river, by simply removing your
top coat and putting on this baptis-
NAL garment. The price Of the gar
ment, not including the robe, is $3.50.
When placing an order, send the size
of the shoes you wear, measurement
around the waist and the distance
from the crotch to the floor. We al
also supply you with baptismal robes
ranging in prices from $1,000 up to
$500. If You order a robe, give the
length of sleeve you wear, your height,
and the measurement of your chest.
Do not delay, but place your order
at once. The goods will be shipped
c. o. D., unless $500 is placed on de-
post as a guarantee that they will be
taken from the express office.
Address all orders to National Bap-
fist Publishing Board, R. H. Boyd,

And we who have toiled for freedoms
law, have we sought for free
dom's soul?
Have we learned at last that human
right is not a part but the whole?
That nothing is told while the cling
ing sin remains part uncon-
fessed?
That the health of the nation is per-
lied if one man be oppressed?
Has he learned-the slave from the
rice7swamps, whose children
were sold-has he,
With broken chains on his limbs,
and the cry in his blood. II am
free!"
Has he learned through Affections
teaching what our Crispus At
tucks knew
When Right is stricken, the white
and black are counted as one,
not two?
Has he learned that his century Of
grief was worth a thousand years
In blending his life and blood with
our and that all his tolls and
tears
Were heaped and poured on him, sud
denly, to give him a right to
stand
From the gloom of African forests,
in the blaze of the freest land?
That his hundred years have earned
for him a place in the human
van.
Which others have fought for and
thought for since the world of
wrong began?
For this, shall his vengeance change
to love, and his r%etribution burn,
Defending the right, the weak and
the poor, when each shall have
his turn;
For this, shall he set his woeful past
af1oat. on the stream of night;
For this, he forgets as we all for
get when darkness turns to light;
For this, he forgives rs we all for
give when wrong has changed
to right.
And so, must we come to the learn
ing of Boston's lesson to-day;
The moral that Crispus Attacks
taught in the old heroic way;
God made mankind to be one in
blood, as one in spirit and
thought;
And so great a boon, by a brave
mans death, is lever dearly
bought!

cRISPUS ATTACKS.
BY John Boyle O,ReiIIY.

Not so! not SO! Till the world is done,
the shadow of wrong is dread;
The crowd that bends to a lord to-
day, tomorrow shall strike him
dead.
There is only one thing changeless:
the earth steals from under our
feet,
The times and manners are passing
moods, and the laws are incom-
plete;
There is only n thing changes not,
one word that still survives
The slave is the wretch who yields
the lash, and not the man in
gyves!.
There is only test of contract: is it
willing, is it good?
There is only one guard of equal
right: the unity Of blood;
There is never a mind unclaimed
and true that class or race al
lows;
There is never a law to be obeyed
mat reason
There is eve a legal sin but grows
to the laws disaster,
The master shall drop the whip, and
the slave shall enslave the mas
ter!
o, Plant of seed and thought and
deed has the year of right re-
volved,
And brought the Negro patriots
with its problem to be
solved?
His blood streamed first for the build
ing, and through all the centu-
rvs years,
Our growth of story and fame of
glory are mixed with his blood
and tears.
He lived with men like a soul con-
demned-derided, DETAINED, and
mute;
DECEASED to the brutal level, and in
structed to be a brute.
His virtue was shorn Of benefit, his
industry of reward;
His love!-O men, it were mercy to
have cut affections cord;
Through the night Of his woe, nc
pity save that Of his fellowslave;
For the wage Of his priceless labor
the scourging block and the
grave!
And now, Is the tree to blosom7 Is
the bowl of agony filed?
Shall the price be paid, and the honor
said, and the word OF outrage
stilled2

Thus ended the fifth lesson. Have

Young Pierce, the Philadelphia col
ored batam weight, is very likely to
meet Digger Stanley-Jimmy Walsh's
arch enemy-in a twenty-round bout
for a $1,000 side bet and a purse Of
fered by the National Sporting Club.
Pierce arrived here only recently in
company with Alfred Dunn, his mana
ger, and at once showed that he was
here for business by posting a fifty
pound forfeit for a match with Stan
ley. Pierce, by the way, was in Eng
land two years ago, and at that time
had a bout with Owen Moran in Liv-
erpool, but it was not until the sew
enteenth round that Moran was able
to end the contest.
Both men feel that such a match
would put them in line for higher
honors and, in agreeing to terms, will
doubtless have as much thought Of
the future as TO the outcome of the
bout itself. Pierce's manager claims
that a win wei Stanley would put
his percentage in line to demand a
fight with Jimmy Walsh and some OF
the other bantam-weight claimants
upon his return to America. He as
serts that he has had a deposit UP
with a Philadelphia paper for several
months to bind a match with Jimmy
Walsh or any Of the others in young
Pierce's class, but that all have drawn
the color line. Stanley, on the other
hand, feels that to defeat Pierce
would give him a reasonable excuse
for travelling to the States and pos
sibly meeting Jimmy Walsh in Boston.
PLEDGE claims to have twice won over
Jimmy Walsh and once from Al Del
mont, both of whom have been seen
in action upon this side.

Stanley has not joined the number OF
English fighters to emigrate To the
States. Stanley, a capital fellow per-
sonally, underestimates his W draw
ing power in the United States. That
he could get a match with Jimmy
Walsh Immediately he landed on
American soil is certain, and the Ar
mory Athletic Club, Of Boston, would
surely be a bidder for that mill, Walsh
himself hailing from Boston. The
fact that Stanley and Walsh have
thrice fought before the National
Sporting Club-the last time being on
the night of The Langford-H Hague bout
last spring-and that they are about
as evenly matched Is it is possible
for two boxers to be, would insure the
best sort of a contest from the vely
upset.

Howard University Law School.

TIOWdTu OuINCIolty Law OSiOOi'
It is an open secret that the Law
School of Howard University is a
part of the University in name only.
The President does not think much
of the Negro lawyer, There is an
element Of independence in the law.
yer that seemeth very ungodly to the
Rev. DR.. Thirkield, hence he has but
little if any sympathy with Howard
Law School and the faculty thereof.
Recently it has been insistently
circulated that there would be n or
two vacancies in the law faculty and
the President haG his candidates
already selected to fill the vacancy
or vacancies.
OF course this is the Presidents
high prerogative, and doubtless he
will use it should the occasion arise;
but in the name of fairness and JUS
tice, if President Thirkield names
men who are already employed by
the Government and throttles the
voice of the law alumni, he will raise
a storm of protest around his devo-
ted head that will make a Washing
ton storm seem something like the
mild zephers from an electric fan.
With an alumni covering the coun-
try; with men of ability and fame;
with men who have given their lives
to the actual practice of the law;
with men who have clients who have
and are trying and winning cases;
with men of brains, activity and
thought here in Washington and else
where, there is no need for DR.. Thir-
kield selecting as teachers of law
men who are already in Office, and
men who have shown an ability in
the field of law. 1t will pay the
President of Howard University to
make haste slowly, very slowly, in
this matter Bee.

HOW WOMAN CAN BEST HELP
MAN.
By N. E. King.

In the beginning when God created
the heavens and the earth multiply
ing and replenishing 1t with
every creeping thing, fowls Of the air,
trees and everything green and rested
on the seventh day, he saw that there
was not a man to till the earth, so
he created Adam and placed him in
the garden of Eden, where there was
everything necessary for his existence.
When this was completed the Lord
looked at Adam in pity and said, 1T
is not good that man should be alone;
| will make him a help meet for him."
In his Infinite wisdom he caused a
deep sleep to come upon Adam, while
asleep he took one Of his ribs out of
which he made his masterpiece-wom-
ana help meet for Adam, a companion.
Since that time men and women have
constituted the characters in the
drama of life.
The realm of man is that of power,
while that Of woman is love, that Is,
man has strength, while woman Is love;
he is power and thought, she is love
and thought. In strength of intellect
ual efforts they are equals for each
other. In thought, correct observation
and close analysis they compare as
peerless kings and queens Of earth
Though equal in some respects, YET
they are different. Woman Is quicker
more sagacious and intuitiye, and this
difference adapts them to each other;
