more activity at the opening. with spot houses

taking a very active interest in 1t just now
The news of the day was mixed, but on the

being Reply to "Crusader."D
1t gives me great pleasure to
know that Crusader could find
nothing more in my article on "The
Colored Voter and the Democratic
Party" to criticise than the closing
paragraph, in which I advise the
colored voters to get together and
organize and help to turn the ras-
cals out and replace them with
good Republicans. Well, l think
that good advice yet. There was
never a time in history of the
Negro in America when organiza-
tion was more needed. With the
solid South actively arrayed
against us and the Northern Demo
Gratis holding out the bait Of office
in State and city, along with the
attitude of the present administra-
ton toward Negro influence in the
party, if organization is not need
ed, nothing else is. The Irish are
Democrats, they are organized ; the
Germans are Republicans, they
are organized; the Italians are Re-
publicans, they are organized; the
Jews do not concern themselves to
any great extent with politics, but
they are organized. All of these
nationalities are closel y organized,
and any movement for their better
ment is discussed and concerted ac-
tion agreed upon, or any movement
antagonistic to their interests finds
them presenting a united opposi
tion. The Negro is alone of all
struggling this way and that.
What idea animates and unifes
the entire Negro people of this
country? On what are they all
agreed? The forces which are act
ing against us are organized, sol
idly, actively and with great skill.
There should be organizations of
colored voters in every city, coun-
ty, Congressional district, State,
through which information, in
struction and plan of action upon
matters affecting our welfare can
be put into action. If it be true
that the colored voters of this coun-
try are "a horde of automatoms,"
as you say, then they will be more
easily organized than if they "all
want to lead" as others have
charged. Organize the "auto-
matoms," and then we will gal
vanize them into useful life.
As to the rascals in command.
Have you NOTICED what's going on?
The people have served notice to
quit to most of the old line of ma
chine politicians, and many of
them have not waited, but got out
without waiting for the notice.
Progress and pure government is
the watchword of the hour, and the
colOred voter had better organize
and get in line. AS to Mr.. Taft
and your ''modern Cagliostro," or
the Big Noise, you may take your
choice. With the solid South and
it's many villainies as the be ali and
end all of the Democratic party,
consider either or both of them bet
ter than a Democrat,

The Electoral College of the Bal

laymen were elected to our next
General Conference, assembled at
Wayman Memorial Chapel, Balti-

cation was not as large as we an
ticipated, but those present were
the young blood of the church. 1t
is a progressive sign for any organ
ization to see it's young men and
women making strenuous efforts to

pend their time and talent for the
betterment of all concerned, but
encouragement is essential, or fail

willing to encourage, then close the

The meeting was called to order
by e. A. Thompson, Esq, of An
napolis, Nd, and he was elected
temporary chairman of the meet
ing. and Prof. Geo. S. White was
elected secretary. After the devo-
tional exercises the temporary Or
ganization was made permanent.
The following gentlemen entered
the contest for delegate: Messrs.
T. Hilyard, j. T. Layton, Taylor
Wilson, j. F. Blagburn, Geo. S.
White and Frisby. Hilyard and
Blagburn were elected on the sec
ond and third ballot, respectively,
and Frishy and White were elected
the alternates.
The young men were very proud
of their election, and we feel sure
that they will make better church

Last Sunday morning being our
first communion in the beginning
of the new church years active
work, special effort was made to
have as many as possible present,
especially the aged members of the
church. God in his providence has
taken so many of the old faithful
founders of our church from labor
to reward that we have only a few
remaining to share the pleasures
and trials of our church life.
Among those who worshiped with
us on Sunday by special effort were
Mr.. Frank Brown, Mr.. King of
Marudian Hill, and Mrs. Louisa
Washington. The congregation
listened with attention to an inn
pressive sermon preached by our
beloved pastor, DIR. Garner, from
L Cor. 7:31, subject, "Transient
Life" The junior choir sang
sweetly, and the service through
out was unusually impressive. Mr..
John L. Lacy was ordained Senior
Deacon of our church to fill the
unexpired term of our esteemed
and beloved late Senior Decon,
Brother Henry w. Freeman. Mr..
Lacy, like Mr.. Freeman, was one
of the founders of the church, and
in the choice of him as Senior
Deacon the church is to be con-
graduated. DR.. Garner conducted
the services, that were very inn
pressive. ~
The Y. p. s. G. E. was well at

enjoyed a delightful evening.
Special effort is being made by
the trustees to raise more money
this year than ever before and clear
all Indebtedness of the church. A
committee of seven was appointed
to make plans to this end, to be
presented to the financial club on
Friday night, September 16.
Miss L. Joice is to lead the en-
deavor meeting on Sunday evening,

junior choir in furnishing the
musical program. All members
and friends of the church are earn
estly requested to be present to
help us encourage the young ones,
as special effort will be made this
year to keep them deeply interested
in all the services.
Several of our Sundayschool
workers have returned from their
vacation and taken up the work
with renewed zeal, but a few are
still away. Among our members
who have recently returned are
Mrs. Alice Joice, Mrs. G.. Ford,
Mrs. Susan Washington, Miss
Sadie Shorter - all seemingly
much benefited by their trip.
Miss Lille Lacy, Miss Carrie

There are dark days in every
year; days on which the sun is hid
den behind dark threatening
clouds and the sky is a leaden gray,
as was Sunday, September II,
1910. There are what may be called
gray days in every human life;
days of mental mists and drizzle,
when the heaven of thought is over
cast and no glimpse of brightness
breaks upon the soul. But whether
there were clouds in the sky of any
one or more of those persons pres,
ent at Israel G. M. Z. Church last
Sunday, or whether the weather's
gloom had cast a spell somewhat
depressing over any, certain it was
that after listening to Brother
Severson, who, in the absence Of
our beloved pastor, Rev. Harris,
discoursed extemporaneously upon
that passage of scripture beginning
"I am the Way, Truth and the
Light" etc, all feeling of gloom
or depression must surely have
been forgotten, and instead the
sweet assurances of our dear
Savior became more firmly and
lovingly fastened upon our minds
and souls. Added to the uplifting
sermon from which we gained more
understanding of the purpose and
aim of existence, and saw more
clearly, as expressed by Brother
Severson, that Jesus prepared for
us many glorious mansions by His
exalted life and His conformity to
the ideal, the very appropriate
music of the choir, selected by our
efficient leader, Mr.. Joseph Wilson,
increased the spiritual enjoyment
of the congregation. Our regular
organist being absent, Mrs. Sarah
Moxley rendered excellent service
in her place.

Sunday was a high day at the
church, although the Sunday,
school wasn't as full and strong
as has been during the summer.
DR.. Conner, the superintendent, re-
turned to his post. Rev. Nixon of
Alabama was introduced, and
made an inspiring address. Miss
Kate Martin has returned from her
trip to Atlantic City. Miss Addie
Hall has returned from Shepherd

Chaplain o. j. w. Scott
preached to crowded house at IL
A. NJ. His text was, "I am not
ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ" His argument seemed
more forcible and earnest than
ever; his practical illustrations
were striking and touching. The
visiting divines were Rev. w. T..
Vernon, Arnold and Nixon.
The lecture on the "Mysteries of
the Philippines" Monday night by
Chaplain 0. j. w. Scott was grand,
patriotic, instructive and highly
enjoyed throughout. Upon the
platform were Rev. DR.. Vernon,
John Hurst and I. N. Ross, and
General Burt, once commander of
the Twenty-ffth Infantry; Rev. U.
S. Edwards and a bugler. The
Junior choir did itself proud in
rendering it's new music. The lee
turer held his audience spellbound,
shifting them from one magic scene
to another for more than an hour.
Gen. Andrew S. Burt, chairman
of the meeting, and late COM
mander of the Twenty-ffth In
fantry, was introduced by Rev. DR..
I. N. Ross. The General, in a few
choice selected words, paid a glow
ing account of and a righteous
tribute to the bravery and manli-
ness of the Twenty-ffth Infantry
and the undisputable fine qualities,
zeal and noble manhood demon
strated by the present chaplain,
DR.. o. j. w. Scott, since appointed
by the President of these United
States, and then introduced the
speaker of the evening.
The speakers first proposition
was that a race is judged by its
ideals and it's activities along those
lines followed by all civilized peo-
pies. He told of many phases of
army life--their mode of deport-
ment, schooling, their physical ex-
ercises, athletic sports, their de-
votional exercises,
He gave the house a sample of
bugle language by having a young
man talk through his bugle.
After the lecture the house
passed below to the lecture and
Sunday-school room, where the
guest OF the evening sat down
around a sumptuous table ladened
with the best that the Wesley Club
could find in the markets. DR.. w.
Y. Vernon was toastmaster, and
rose to his fullest height in his en-
deavor to help pay a merited re,
spect to one of his dear friends,
Chaplain o. j. w. Scott. Mrs.
Julia Hamilton, the president of

master DR.. Vernon. Speeches were
