with the "drones," as he termed the
least dlllgent and studious, until eight
and nine o'clock at night and put
/ days finishing touches on the gray
matter, under the Uranium OF the
boys, in the gleam of the candle
light
During those trying times, as the
boys then saw them. he would ex-
PLAIN that the Board of Education
didn't pay him for the extra hours he
kept them there, and that he could
whip them and let them 90 home in
ignorance: but he looked forward to
the day when they would be men.
and 1t was his most earnest desire
that they be among the best men,
morally and intellectually; and this
community Is unanimous in declaring
that his efforts have not been in vain.

Rev. Henry II. Warning started an
evangelistic campaign at his church
(Shiloh Baptist), after finishing up a
most successful series of revival
meetings at Zion Baptist Church,
Washington. d. c, where he assisted
Rev. Howard each night during the
past two months, and preached a dif-
ierent sermon from various subjects
and texts suited to revival services
each night The conversions number
ed about 200. and if the song part of
the service IS given the preparation
equal to that which will be given the
sermons. and if the songs are made
equally as explicit as the sermons,
the results Of the meetings at Shiloh
should be indeed gratifying
The music in most of the cOlored
churches OF this city. like that in most
Protestant churches OF other places.
is far below the standard of the pull
pit, and until the sermons in SCug'
receives the preparation usually given
the sermon from the pulpit, and are
rendered in a clear, scholarly, soul
stirring and expressive manner, only
meager success need be expected,
and this can only be done where the
- L.,
feels and understands the text OF the
song. Much more attention should
be given the preparation OF the mu-
steal part of religious worship in this
progressive age; and it Is hoped that
Rev. Warning will receive proper
musical support and score a success at
Shiloh equal to the phenomenal re
vival at Rev Howard's Church, Zion
Baptist. Washington, d. c.
At the public meeting of the young

Street Baptist Church, Sunday March
3. Mr.. F. II. NJ. Murray made the
principal address. Mr. Murray spoke
in his usual pleasing, entertaining
and instructive manner to a very ap-|
preclatlve audience, which filled the
main auditorium Several musical
numbers were rendered by the quar-
tettc OF the class
Mr.. /. NJ Hershaw, Of Washing
ton, addressed the Junior League Of
Roberts Chapel NJ. E. Church Sunday,
March 3. The subject selected was.
Physical, Mental and Moral Devel-I
opment of the Young, and afforded
the speaker ample opportunity to give
the children much valuable advice.
This he did in a style which kept his
young audience ever alert and inter-
ested, TO degree that made his ef-I
tort one OF inestimable value. Mrs.
Maggie Darnell Evans, president of
the League, and several of the cabinet
OF the Senior League. gave him a most
earnest request .to address the chill
dren again in the near future.
The Observation Party given by the.
oung Mems Bible Class at Odd Eel.
lows Hall last Friday, was a tremen-'
dous success. The proceeds will be
used IN buying literature such as IS.
necessary in carrying on the work
that the class is doing.
Messrs. Edward ?. Dixon, Leon
Tancll. Campbell Johnson, Walter
Butler, Norman B. Murray and many
other officers and members of the
class are made up of that kind OF en-
ergy that will not stand for retrOgres-
sion of any organization in which
they are interested, and it IS expect
ed that the Bible Class, with such
able teachers as Rev. H. H. Warning,
pastor Shiloh Church, and Miss Mary
Vernon, Of the Washington schools,
will grow rapidly and wise unto sal
