Lexington is well represented at

Charles Rankin, Pleasant Moore, Will
lam Clarke, Mary Sales, Clarence
Zachary and Lewis Brooks are stu
dents there, and Messrs. Obey A. John
son and Robert S. Darnaby are mem
bers of the faculty. No doubt very
soon Lexington and vicinity will have

William Ross will graduate from the
academic department next year and

We regret that there is little to Of
fer these young colored people here
at home, as it is too bad that they
should, after receiving their training,
have to go elsewhere to work at their
trades. We believe that in time the
progressive, wide-awake colored busi-
ness men of Lexin gton will be able
to and will demand well trained as
sistants.
Obey A. Johnson, who finished from
the academic department and the
course in brick-masonry, and who has
had two years work at Columbia
University. has been called to Tuske-
gee. Why not use this young college
man in our colored public schools here
at home? William Ross will soon
come back trained architect, and
Victor Terry will no doubt cast his lot
among us as plumber. How long
these young men will remain here it is
hard to say. Certainly they will To-
cate here if the field is inviting and if
the remuneration warrants. The writer
welcomes these Tuskegee graduates,
and hopes that they will cast their lot

St. PauI's
A. M. e. Church
RETURNS ITS THANKS TO
GOOD FRIENDS AIDING
IN THE CARE OF RE-
CENT CONFERENCE.

ST. Paul Church, the local African
M e. Church, and the leading church
of the Kentucky Conference, desires
to return thanks to the friends and
members Of sister churches of Otherde-
nominate Ons who so kindly and gener-
ously assisted them in taking care of
more than a hundred ministers and
visitors. Not a single complaint has
been registered and all have testified
of royal reception far exceeding any
in the history of forty years.
Some conferences, notably the East
ern conferences average a dollar per
member. and fifty cents per member is
sought as a minimum. This dollar is
divided into nineteen parts, and ac-
complishes more good purposes for
education, missions, publication, etc,
than any other dollar that can be ex-
pended. Every African Methodist re-
CARDS the Dollar Money list as roll
of honor and would feel forever dis
graced did not his name appear on the
roll. Many friends outside this church
also make it a point to enroll.
The local church set itself to beat
the record of last year, the highest in
it's history-$200. Its pastor, Rev. e.
A. Clark, reported that amount on
the opening day of conference, asking
leave to make supplementary report
later in the session. The members
got busy and on the last day the past
or was enabled to report $225, more
than the desired 10 per cent increase.
This fund is taken as the index of the
spiritual and financial condition of the
church, and shows live working
force in st. Paul.
Two hundred persons gave the
whole dollar in st. Paul, forty the one
half dollar and twenty the quarter dol
lar Some were so enthusiastic as to
pay twice and some three times.
The local church, despite the heavy
expense of renovating their house of
worship and of providing entertain
ment and welcome, exceeded all its
record in its annual reports by $500,
reporting a yearly total of $4,000 rails
ed for all purposes.
The African denomination has de-
vised and put in successful operation
what is known as the Dollar Money
System, financial plan that puts a
half million of dollars into their gen
eral treasury every quadrennium to
run the general machinery of the con
nection Each member pays dollar
a year and his name is published in
the minute book of the conference.
