Lusk, the classes taught and a most
interesting review of the days lesson
was given by the superintendent.
After some remarks by the pastor,

election of officers for the ensuing
quarter. Conspicuous among the
teachers of this school is Miss Nellie
May Buchanan, who though a mere
child herself, is teacher of a class OF
little boys.
The church service was opened by
the pastor and a most enthusiastic
covenant meeting was held in which
all present took part. The choir, I'M

NEGRO COMPOSER.

Miss Ruth Pearl Mckinney is the
recipient of three beautiful songs by
Thomas Buster Page, a Negro COM
poser, of Hamilton, Ohio. The titles
of the songs are ''Naoma," eff all the
queens were one" and "I'm going to
live until I get even,' respectively.
The music contains much merit and
shows marked musical ability MI
Page has composed several pieces,
the above named being his very
latest compositions. With the mu-
sic he sends a personal letter to Miss
Mckinney saying that whenever he
writes a new one he will forward the
same to her.
Although the name Thomas Blu
ter Page" is a new one in the South,
his music is being used extensively
in Northern cities and is really wor-
thy of consideration,

STOOD BY IRELAND's SIDE.
Special to The Globe

Special to me GlODe
New York, April "A powerful
sermon without words was preached
on the "race problem" in the Cathe-
dral of st. Paul, Mimi, on Good Fri
day last. 1t consisted of the unusual
spectacle of full-blooded Negro act
ing as deacon of the mass in which
Archbishop Ireland was celebrant;
standing at His Grace's right, and
second only to him in the position OF
dignity.
His duties frequently made him the
center of attraction throughout the
ceremonies, especially while singing
the gospel in rich musical voice,
again when presenting the figure of
the Crucifed Redeemer to the Arch
bishop for the alteration of the
cross" and once more when walking
under a canopy supported by four
white ecclesiastics, he assisted His
Grace in carrying the consecrated
host.
Surely the doctrine that call men
are created equal finds its full real
ization in the Catholic Church, which
is no respector of persons, even
though it lis not always and every
where it is not always and every
States.

WEALTHY WHITE GENTLEMAN
BUILDS CHURCH FOR
NEGROES.
COL. B. r. COULTER, OF LOS
ANGELES, CAL, A FORMER RES
iDENT OF GAINESVILLE, THE
DONOR.

GAINESVILLE, Tenn.-A more philan-
thropic effort has never been put
forth or recorded in the State of Ten
nessee, and possibly not anywhere
else in the South, than has just come
to light in this city. 1t is an in
stance that shows the deep abiding
faith of the Southern white man in
the Negro, with whom he has lived
side by side; whom he has learned
to know from actual contact and not
from observation; an example of the
brotherly love sentiment which ex-
lists in many sections of this broad
Southland of ours wnere the races
dwell together separately, yet where
their very interests affect one the
other as would be natural from the
conditions arising. This incident
further shows the real bringing out
of the true saying that there would
come time when right in the South
land all nations would sooner or
later recognize the Fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of man.
The story of the Coulter brothers
and their deep interest in the hun
dreds of Negroes that are found in
Montgomery County, or which Clarks
vile is the county seat, reads more
like fiction than truth to those away
and those who do not know, yet
the older residents of this city will
remember the Hon. Mr.. B. F. Coul-
ter, who is now residing in Los An
geles, Cal, a brother or Mr.. w. F.
&c M
B. F. Coulter following out Horace
Greeley's advice to ''go west and
grow up with the country" settled in
the West, but not until he had grown
up in this state and had learned
something of the trustful, faithful
and last but not least, the religious
side of the Negroes nature.
The people of GAINESVILLE have oft
en- connected the Coulter brothers
with narratives showing their big.
hearted, charitable disposition, and
kindnesses to the Negro population
They are looked upon as the best OF
Christian white people. 1t is said
they believe almost implicitly in the
Negroes religion, at any rate, after
being absent for some years the Hon
B. F. Coulter decided to DO some
thing for the Negroes of this city
Consulting his brother on what was
best to do it appears both decided on
helping the Negro in a religious way
Hence the magnificent Main Street
Christian Church was planned, built
furnished and is soon to be dedicated
to the colored Christian church mem
bership in this city. This splendid
structure is the direct gift of Mr. B
F. Coulter and is complete in every
respect.
The dedicatory sermon will be
preached by Rev. Preston Taylor, the
pastor of Lea Avenue Christian
Church, of Nashville, on Sunday, May
A. Much interest is awakened
throughout this section of the country
in this charitable gift to the coloret
department of the Christian Church
of Tennessee. Arrangements are be
ing made for a special coach to come
down from Nashville on Sunda!
morning, making this memorable
day in GAINESVILLE, history.

JOSEPH H. DOUGLASS AT HOW
ARD

The violin recital given at How
ard Congregational Church Monday
night proved to be a rare musical
treat. The drawing card was Jos
eph H. Douglass, of Washington, D.
c., whose reputation as violinist
stretches across two continents.
Nashville has listened to three of the
greatest violin players of the age
within the past several years. Com
ing in their order: Miss Hester 0.
Brown, of Cleveland, O.; Clarence
Campbell White of the District of
Columbia, and Mr.. Joseph H. Doug
lass
Mr.. Douglass in his appearance at
Howard Congregational Church dis
played remarkable musical technique
rendering each number with grace
and ease. Certainly no musician
need be ashamed of the talent and
ability to handle a violin as was dis
played by Mr.. Douglass at this re-
cital. He was assisted by such tai
ent as Mr.. A. G. Price, basso, Mrs.
S. H. Brown, contralto, soloists, and
Mrs. Horn, elocutionists from Fisk.
Possibly the three greatest num-
bers by Mr.. Douglass were the pro-
auctions of S. Coleridge-Taylor,
Comm Thru the Rye and Home,
Sweet Home" Many classical pieces,
no less tina ntwelve in number, were
rendered. Miss Scott as accompanist
contributed much to the success of
the program of the evening.

That as the question had never been

That in the debates in Congress and
