WILL START A SCHOOL OF STEM
OGRAPHY.

Madam Perkins. cur Denver busi-
ness woman who has achieved ma
.ional reputation through the success
of her preparations for the scalp and
hair, has had such phenomenal growth
in her business that she has had to
secure a permanent stenographer to
take care of her large correspondence.
She used the services of Miss Mary
r. Martin of Philadelphia during the
three months she spent in the city of
Brotherly Love and was SO well
pleased with her that she employed
her permanently and has had her
come on to Denver. Miss Martin ar
rived last Saturday. She is prepo-
sessing young lady whose proficiency
is generally acknowledged at her
home. She is n graduate of the Com
mercial High School for girls and was
Cor a long time employed as stenog-
rapher and bookkeeper at the Berean
Manual Training and Industrial
School in Philadelphia; also in the
Afro-American Realty company. of
which Bishop G. l.. Blackwell was
manager. She was an active worker
in the Berean Presbyterian church and
secretary and superintendent of its
Sunday school for some time. There
Is in her home an organization of bus
mess clerks composed of 20 stenogra-
piers and bookkeepers and of it she
was second vice-president.
In short while, in order that our
Denver girls may have the advantage
nf commercial training, Miss Martin
will start class in stenography. Ten
persons will be all she will enroll in
II. This will be done out of the hours
in which she looks after Madam Per
kin's interests, The mere statement
OF this latest move is sufficient com
ment upon their rapid growth. Yet
that is not all. Madam Perkins eni-
ploys besides her Mrs. Lille Moore.
our fellow townswoman. to look after
the shipping of her goods. Miss Mar
tin is making her home with Mrs.
Moore

BRAZILIAN

A GENERAL
A Brilliant Victory over Europeans
Marks Him a Genius

from that vast territory which now
forms the empire OF Brazil. OF all
those rich possessions. which they
had expended millions to conquer. by
land and by sea and which their avar-
ice and cruelty had too long desc
lated. nothing finally remained but
one large and apparently impregnable
fort called Cinco Pontos. near Per
nambuco. IL commanded the whole
city and neighborhood. and was well
provisioned and garrisoned by an
army of 5000 men. Many useless at
tempts were made TO get possession
OF this important post. 1t was defend
ed by high and massive walls. and by
deep and wide bitches containing II
feet of water. and provisions being
constantly supplied from Dutch ships.
there WAS no hope of reducing II by
famine Every fresh attack upon 1t
WAS punished Immediately by pouring
its powerful batteries on the city and
surrounding country. While the
enemy possessed this stronghold. the
Brazilians were subject to continual
Irritation and alarm. and could never
regard their dear-bought independence
rs secure. Here was subject fit to
employ the bold genius and unwearied
energy of Henry Diaz. In the next
instalmeut will be told how these
black troops. led by Diaz, captured
this stronghold. and won the ever
lasting gratitude of Brazil.

mons by our city pastors. both white

10 listen to for some time, also four
splendid papers on different phases
of the work of the church and its pas
tor. Rev. A. E. Edwards. The first by
Deacon John J. Jackson; second,
Deacon W. A. Moore: third. Mrs. J.
NJ. Mason: fourth. Trustee Lon Will
liams; fifth. one by Mrs. Grace Cat
lett. These papers were beam of
information to the pastor and perhaps
to others. touching the history of this
church. 1t was a source of much pleas
ure for the members of 30 years ago
to live and see the fruits of their la
bors mature and the membership of
1910 join them in a weeks service of
praise to God for his all-abounding
goodness.
Among the papers read on this oc-
casion was this one:
Rev. A. Z. Edwards, our present
pastor, accepted call to the pastor
ate of our church on the first Sunday
in May, 1910, one year ago. And since
then he has with much zeal. care and
pleasure performer his pastoral du-
ties. AS a preacher he is among the
best. he is a strong, logical, phiiosoph-
jcal and theological exponent of the
Scripture. and is pulpit orator of no
mean ability He feeds his flock cas-
lily by simplifying the gospel of Christ
and putting it in their reach.
AS pastor he is plain and sociable.
easy TO approach. He loves his mem
les and mingles with them. not in
their homes so much. however, but at
the various services of his church,
church socials. entertainments and
all of the auNiliaries connected with
his church. He is a pastor that loves
his race and often breaches race Cos
pel. teaching his congregation that
they should love not only God, their
Creator, but their fellow man. the
creature. as well.
AS Christian.
We regard him as a Christian gen.
ileman of the best type for during
this. his one year with us. We nave
seen and know nothing to the con-
trary. He is man of national stand
ing in the rank and file of his denom-
ination. He has been officially con-
nected with the National Baptist Con-
vention every since its organization

fellowship of the church and received
into ii total of about 15 new men,
bers. Under his administration our
church is out of debt and is now lay
ing the foundation for new church
edifice at cost of $4,000.
Thus far he has shown himself
safe leader. his executive ability Is of
much concern and is not surpassed
by many. Our prayer to God is that
he will remain with us at length. bind
ing us, church and pastor. together in
stronger ties and crown our labors
with greater success.
