Nashville perhaps enjoy a distinction
that will hardly be found in any other

of these two hundred and twenty-four
churches in the city, he has a claim
and al point with pride to ninety
one of that number. While this is
more than one-third of all the church
es in the city, he is not one-third Of
the population. Hence, the religious
influences that are being thrown
around the race as a whole in Greater
Nashville are greater than from a
percentage point of view than that of
the Caucasian. This, too, has been
accomplished within a comparatively
short while. Old residents of the
city declare that twenty years ago
there but ten Negro churches in the
city of all denominations and that
this growth of eighty-one In less than
a score of years is an achievement
and an accomplishment, together with
an advancement that must challenge
the admiration of cities much larger,
which boast of a greater percentage.

when it shipped on a through bill of
lading a half "a of church furniture

fishing a new commercial record for
Nashville.
It is estimated that the running ex-

On the first floor will be seen the
mammoth printing presses, by whose
revolutions from day to day for the
past sixteen years it is estimated that
more than ten billions of pages of de-
nominational literature have been
printed and carried throughout the
United States. On three of these
mammoth cylinder presses there are
attached automatic ~self-feeding ma
chimes, the first to be owned and op-
Grated by any Negro oncern in the
world. Each of these presses repre-
sents an outlay of $4,000. The huge
Scott All-Sized Rotary Press, a piece
of machinery valued at $4,000, cap
able of turning out, at maximum speed,
ten thousand Impressions per hour,
in two colors, is found. This was the

and operated by Negroes in the world.

of the editorial secretary, superinten-

editor of the Union-Review, the field
secretary. and their assistants and
stenographers. The Sunday-School
Commentary is written, arranged and
compiled in this building. The stan
dard of the denominations literature
and our Sunday-School work is here
agreed upon. The plan OF the mis-
sionary work as it effects the denomi-
nation is here carefully gone over by
the field secretary. The denomina-
tons official organ, the Union-Re-
view, gets 1t send-off and is supplied
with it's editorial matter from this
building.
In the next and largest portion of
the second floor is the chapel. 1t is
a real church., equipped with the Ma

Negro congregations, a splendid feat
achieved by the late Prof. VIM. Ros-
borough. The Board claims the dis
tinction of having the only real voiced
instrument on the market for any par
ticular race. Only song books, pub
lisbed by the Board, are found in the
chapel. Each week a different set OF
song books is used so that the employ

RELIGIOUS ARGUMENT FOR THE
NEGRO.
BY Rev. H. A. o y

According to the city bureau, or to
information obtained from the Nash
vile city directory, it is seen that
there are two hundred ana twenty
four organized churches of all denomi-
nations in the city of Nashville, which
the United States Government gives
as a population for 1910 a little more
than n hundred and ten thousand.
These churches are scattered in every
part of the city. 1t is indeed inter,
esting to those not acquainted with
conditions to stop long enough to
make a little study as to the sup.
porters Of the congregations that go
to make up these two hundred and
twenty-four organizations of denomi-
national houses of worship. Some
have been very loud in their argu.
ments that the Negro was not MAX
ing rapid improvements along re-
%liglous, moral and financial lines. while
others have been equally as loud in
their praise for the remarkable sue
cess and the great showing that has
been made, in so short a time, by the
members of the race, To those well
informed there is no need for ad-
vanciEg the argument that the Ne
gro has not succeeded and built up
faster in his religious line and per
haps eve in any other a~vocation
than any other people. Some would
point, no doubt, to the number of
prisoners i~ncarcerated in the prisons.
and to the criminal record of the Ne

offset, if it were taken into c%onsidera-
tion that, handicapped as he is in
every respect, the ratio Of the crimi-

lures and from signatures into books.
Enclosing is also carried on in this
department. Three folding machines,
two stitching machines, one Smyth
book sewing machine, one enclosing
machine, where gold and silver EN-.
bossing can be placed upon the books,
two huge paper-trimming machines,
n rotary paste board cutter, one per-
forating machine and a roller back
machine, glue pots and book binding
tables and book presses are on this
floor. This department is under the
skilled management of trained book
binders. The chief OF this depart
ment, however, like those in the other
departments, learned the trade and re-
ceived his experience as a beginner at
the National Baptist Publishing Board.
On the third floor of this building
is situated the composing room, limo
type department and proof-reading
room. Three linotype machines click
regularly under skillful operation or
management of three operators, who
for speed and accuracy have not been
excelled; one Washington hand press,
upon which is printed the best silk
and satin banners; type in every de-
scription, from the smallest to the
largest show bill type, five imposing
stones, and a competent force of com
positors, imposers and Job printers
under the management of a foreman,
who also came up from the devil boy
to foreman in this institution.
In the proof-reading room the proof
readers have by years of actual ex-
p%erience been able to cope with those
of any establishment. Long since,
the Publishing Board has established
itself and made it's own name in the
proof-reading world. The lamented
Charles H. Burrill, who perhaps spent
forty years in the printing business,
was the pioneer Negro proof-reader
and printer of the United States. He
came South where he was known as
the father Of Negro printers, and
trained these proof-readers.
The next building occupies lots SIT.
and 519. In the front is the display
and show room of church supplies,
pews, pulpits and other church furni-
ture. The opposite room is occupied
by the National Negro Doll Company,
with a magnificent supply of Negro
dolls ranging in sizes from - to sc
inches in height. In this building are
the Woodworking machines of the
very best make on the market, where
anything from a collection plate to the
very highest grade church pews are
made and sent out to scores Of church
es each year. In the rear Of this
building, at SIT, is a two-story brick,
the first floor is used for patterns,
teneting machines, cutting, fitting and
noticing machines, glue and veneer
ing presses, glue pots pans, etc,
with the Office of the foreman. The
second floor is used for finishing and
upholstering. In the ear lot No. $40

lighted with electricity manufactured
by the Publishing Board. The plant
is heated with steam in winter and the
entire machinery is propelled by the

SOUVENIRS GIVEN AWAY.
The NATIONAL Negro Doll Company
Prepares Favors For Every One

In the City of Nashville.
On Monday, December End, there
will be held in the city Of Nashville,
perhaps, n of the most unique open
ings that has ever been given by a
Negro institution in the city. The
National Negro Doll Company has
arranged with the National Baptist
Publishing Board to give a two-color
souvenir post card to every person in
the city who call for one. Fifteen
thousand cards, on which is printed
a motto that could be appropriately
framed and hung in the homes of all
the Negroes in the Country.
This souvenir post card, declares
the President of the National Negro
Doll Company, will at least do two
things. First, it will help the Ne
groes of Nashville to observe Post
Card Day, which has been urged by
the Board of Trade and set aside as
the fist day Of January, and on which
day the people of the city are sup
posed to send to their friends through
out the United States, a card from
Nashville telling something concern
ing the city of Nashville. This post
card will so out telling something of
