Our attention has been called to the
neglect of infant baptism by some OF
our pastors. There is no service that
should be more eagerly sought and
more faithfully performed. See to 1t
brethren that every child in your con-
gregation is baptised and properly in
structed in the things that pertain to
his souls health" Infant baptism is
not only a beautiful and impressive
sacrament but one that means so
much to the permanent growth OF the
church and contributes largely to the
saving of the individual.-Staro of Zion.

Education and wealth are both be-
set with many dangerous perils. Espe-
cially is this true In a race that had
its building in race building like
ours had forty-Hve years ago. Some
OF the few who have been specially
favored with the advantages OF an
academic and college education, and
likewise some Of the few that have
been blessed with the tact for acquir-
ing some wealth, have had good sense
to know and to feel that their highly
favored conditions only entailed upon
them the more the task of helping
to raise those OF the race who were
less favored. Then there have been
others OF the favored few who have
felt, Judging by their actions, that
their education and wealth was to put
them beyond the reach OF their fell
lows and thus leave them to struggle
up the hill by themselves. or else with
er and die in the misery of their own
ignorance and poverty.-Western Star.

The negroes of South Carolina
should feel proud of the fact that they
enjoy access to so many colleges and
higher institutions of learning. They
should also feel grateful to the men
and women who, for many years, have
been at the head of these respective
institutions. Year by year since it's
establishment each of these institu-
tions has grown in Importance and in
favor with the people.-Southern

Observant persons who are In con-
slant contact with the diversified In
terests of the race, must admit that
there Is rapidly increasing need for
young men and young women OF busi-
ness and commercial training II Is
q fact that we are turning our atten-
tions toward business pursuits more
now than toward the professional or
Industrial. Banks are being estap-
lished on all sides by men or color,
both in the north and in the south;
colored insurance companies are op-
Grating successfully in every state OF
the southern group; secret orders are
fiourishing among our people, and
must secure office forces for their
home and branch Offices; publication
houses and newspapers are being run
for the benefit OF our people; drug
stores are open in cities and towns
throughout the southland; churches
are developing to such magnitude that
pastors must employ private secre-
taries; denominational departments
must have office forces; stores must
have bookkeepers and clerks-the de-
mand for the commercially trained
will soon become far-reaching and 1p-
sistent. Where will our young peo-
pie secure training to fit them for
these positions? Our colleges continue
to turn out school teachers, and those
prepared along this line must scuffie
for place because OF seeming over
supply. while the negro business man
worries along with ill-prepared help
of a clerical sort. The young negro,
too, is entering business for himself
with practically no knowledge OF book
keeping and business forms. We are
not venturing to criticise our institu-
tions of learning. They have done,
and are doing, great work well. Why
are they not awaking to this growing
need? To our certain knowledge
thorough commercial courses are not
conducted in a halfdoZen reputable
negro colleges in all this broad south
land. Yet the need of which we
speak is growing yearly in an ever in
creasing ratio. Where must the ste
nographers, bookkeepers, salesman,
clerks, etc. come from whom we need
now and will need in larger numbers
In the future? Their employers can
suffi cient number to meet the demand
cannot go north to pursue courses in
business colleges and commercial de-
partments there. Young people can
often be heard inquiring where they
can learn shorthand, typewriting and
bookkeeping, md If private instruc-
ton cannot lie procured, they drift
into menial employment. Distinct
colored commercial colleges are hard
ly possible at this time. With but
slight outlay for colleges already in
operation can meet the need. Many
who will not take complete literary or
Industrial courses would enter col
lege to receive commercial training
with such literary subjects as COM
mercial course would require. Honest
ly and conscientiously we feel that
along this particular line negro col
leges will soon be decade behind
the times. 1t is here they can be to
the young people an added benefit.
We are hoping many Of them will
awaken to a situation that may be-
fore long become serious, and put in
with their courses one to give prac-
tical commercial training.

Some interest is being created by
the employment of colored girls as
walters in the place of men by a
famous hotel at Raleigh, N. c. The
Richmond Times-Dispatch, a white

There are quite a number of busi-

controlled and managed by the mem

that they should. In the particular
neighborhood where these enterprises
are located are thousands of negroes
who spend thousands of dollars. 1t
would be to the interest of negroes
to give a larger proportion of the
