The work of spreading has begun
and the grand old Order that our
fathers loved so well, the Order that
Peter Ogden gave his life to establish
in America, is now taking on new life
in Tennessee. Throughout the state
men are singing her praise because
of the businesslike way in which mat
tiers pertaining to the good of the
order are worked out. Her boast has
always been, that her sons and dauga-
tiers are ever on the alert of sacrifice,
that her followers are always on the
firing line pushing back those who
would hold her down. That the coun-
try at large may know more of Ten
nessee and her loyal host, ever mind
full from day to day, of the obliga-
tions and fraternal ties, arrangements
have Just been completed for a special
issue of the Nashville Globe, a news
paper published in Nashville, to bring
out a distinctively Odd Fellows Num-
Der dedicated to Tennessee Odd Eel
lows and Households.
If it is in your mind to keep up
with the rapidly moving train you
must get on now while you have the
chance. Special articles on all phases
of the Order such as endowment ben
efts in local lodges, history of the
Order in state and nation, history Of
Household of Ruth, objects and aim Of
Order, cuts of leading officers, mem
bers, halls, cemeteries, etc.
This mammoth issue will cover
two pages and will be of interest to
Lodges and Ruths alike. How many
shall we send your lodge?
Only a limited number will be print
ed, hence the necessity of an early or
der. All orders, with remittance IF
5 cents per copy, must be in the office
on or before September LIST as this
Odd Fellows special number will pos
lively appear September 30th. Let
no lodge or household fail to secure
ten or more Of these papers. Put
at least one in the archives Of the
lodge for future reference; each Odd
Fellow ought to have M In his own
home as a matter of inspiration and
comparison. Send all orders accom-
panied by remittance Of 5 cents per
copy and papers will be mailed the
week of issue.

AN INJUSTICE TO US.

Some readers of the Nashville Globe

deavored to get u collector to cali

we have overlooked you. We specially
invite you to call at u Office and pay

phone, Main 1889, so that you may call

of Nashville to make this a success.

LETTER FROM THE NATIONAL
BAPTIST PUBLISHING BOARD.

To the Nat onal Business League AS
sembled in New York, August IT,,
Booker T. Washington, President:
Gentlemen:
At the last session of the National
Baptist Convention of America, a del
egated assembly representing GO state
organizations, $50 district associations,
$4,000 Negro Baptist churches, with
a membership of 2,350,000 communi.
cants in the United States of Ameri-
ca, carefully considered and passed
resolutions indorsing the propriety of
holding a semi-centennial of the eman-
cipation of the Negro slaves of the
United States of America, at some CEN
trail point in or near the Southern
States, for the purpose of showing to
the civilized world the fifty years
progress of the people so recently
emancipated and thrown upon their
own resources without aid from either
state or federal authorities. (See
pag~of the National Baptist Min
utes.)
Our Board, which is an incorporated
auxiliary to this body, would set forth
to your body that we do not deem It
necessary to become over anxious
whether the federal or state govern
ments, or authorities, contribute any
thing to this expense or not. We
would respectfully urge that your
body decide to go forward with this
laudible movement, regardless of what
the state or federal legislators, or con-
gress, may or may not do.
We would urge that a four-fold com
mission be appointed with reCSesen-
tatives from each state and that we
have as representatives in this commits
sion first, u business institutions;
second, our educational institutions;
third, our professional men, and
fourth, our religious institutions; and
if needs be, our fraternal, benevolent
and insurance institutions, in such a
way that all of these institutions
might feel free to contribute literally
in making this enterprise a success.

impressive throughout. Prayer was
offered at the home on Fourteenth

granted. At the church the following
