BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AT
CHICAGO.

Booker 7. Washington, princi-
pal of Tuskegee Institute, Ala
bama, will speak in Chicago Sun
day evening, Dec. 4, at Orchestra
Hall, under the auspices of the
Sunday Evening Club, and on
Monday afternoon at the Univer-
sity of Chicago.
Monday at noon the Seooby
Club, composed of 26 Congrega-
tional ministers, will entertain him
at luncheon.
This will be DR.. Washington S
first visit to our section of the
country since his trip through por-
tions of Europe, where he studied
the conditions of the lowly of for
eign lands, while loyalty sought
to do him honor as a leading
American citizen and benefactor.
1t is quite likely that during Mr..
Washington two days stay
there a great number of Colored
people will be given an opportun-
ity to hear him.
The Tuskegee Graduate Club of
Chicago has a promise from him
to speak for them before he leaves
the city.
DR.. +. J. Fisher, of Olivet Bap-
tist church, has also arranged for
the noted educator to speak 10 his
congregation after he leaves Or
chestra Hall, which will be about
9 clock Sunday evening
Arrangements are being made
for DR. Washington to deliver
short addresses at several Colored
churches while there, so as many
Colored people as possible may
have an opportunity to receive the
moral and spiritual benefit which
only DR. Washington can give.
In our next issue DR.. Washing
ton S complete program for Chi
eago will probably be published.
No admission charge will be
made at any of the public meet
ings.
Evanston and Milwaukee will
also most likely be favored with a
visit by the distinguished educator
before he returns to his work in
the South.

Mental Laziness Bad Habit.

MAUDE H. R.. I am afraid you are
mentally lazy. AS you have so much
leisure you had better decide what
sort of work you most prefer. then
take hold with both hands and resolve
to be thorough and diligent. leaving
no loose ends or rayeled threads to
the end of the day. The truth is that
laziness, either physical or mental,
eats into the daily life as the moth
eats into a garment. There are moth
eaten young women, the fabric of
whose minds have almost been marred
by yielding to Incidence. No single
thing so quickly robs a girl of her
beauty, so surely takes away her
charm. as the fatal drifting into the
line of least resistance. Laziness near
ly always ends in melancholy and
nervous depression.

Sizing Up Ones Abilities.

WORRIED: Perhaps you are in
capable of sizing up your own capabili-
ties. If one is to judge by the long
columns of help wanted" in the
papers and the short ones of situa-
tions wanted, the demand for work
ers, especially among women. is
greater than the supply. AS you are
now obliged to earn your own living,
the first question to ask yourself is
the kind of work you like best TO do
and what are the opportunities for
you to secure work along these lines
and are you fitted for the work? At
first it may be necessary to take any
work that is offered, but If you have
a definite idea of the line of work
YOU wish to do and work with that end
in view you will eventually win out
in your chosen field.

Building Up Small Business.

MRS. G. T. P. In building up a
small business there are two methods
by which 1t may be accomplished. One
is by personal solicitation, and the
other is by sending samples of work
through the mail. If you decide to use
a mailing list for the purpose of ad-
vertising your wares provide yourself
with neat and attractive cards. A man
writing a business letter or seeking
an interview personally knows that
the makeup of his letterheads or the
card he presents will pass the same
inspection that his dress and bearings
will pass should he obtain the inter
view. Business representatives do
not neglect this detail and surely the
woman who is starting in some new
venture cannot afford to do so either.

Rev. Crockett preached an
other of his interesting ser

large congregation. He spoke on
the Fire and the Holy Ghost. He
said that no church ever called a
man to preach. God calls man
to preach, he is then fired by the
Spirit, he is inspired by the Holy
Ghost, and is bound to speak out.
He said that if a man can not feel
fire when it is put to his body, he
is dead so with the Christian; if
he cannot feel the fire of the
Spirit and the Holy Ghost, he is
spiritually dead and needs new
Christian life. The reason it is so
cold around the North Pole is
that it is so far from the equator.
So with the Christian; he gets
cold in Christ because he gets so
far from Him.
