organization was speaking before a
meeting of the local order called for
the purpose of smoothing" things
over. He carried the meeting By
storm. His thunderous voice shook
both walls and mems opinion. High
class steam-rollsng alone saved the
new party from official denunciation
at the hands of the order.
It all started with the renewal OF
allegiance" resolution which had been
brought into the meeting by w. H. A.
Moore, president of the local order,
to the report that color line was
being drawn by the Rooseveltians."
DR.. Venerable started out coolly

dom Of adopting such a resolution, but
soon warmed up to the spirit of un-
rest"
Just as 1t was with this country
years ago, SO 1t is with the negro to-
day. AS a citizen he cannot exist

Il was with Roosevelt heart and
soul at the start. / thought his party
was to mean much for us as a race.
But what do the high-sounding
phrases OF the platform mean IL the
man behind 1t is himself against the
principles supposedly there. He says
the southern negro is unfit to partici-
pate in our government Will you
lend your support there? Disfran-
chiSe the South and you'll ultimately
be disfranchised north and south.
THE platform OF the Progressive
party with Roosevelt opposed to the
principles embodied, isn't worth the
paper it is written upon. 1t is bid
for the white vote of the South. 1t
means the foundation of a white
mans party. Why, even here In ILL
nois you have Jim Crow policy.
Not delegate In the state of Illinois.
Whoever heard of such a thing be-
fore?
Are we going to lend ourselves to
clever politician and constituencies
person whose only aim is to regain
his lost power. Will we play into the
hands of one who seeks our overthrow
to help himself?"
Mr.. Moore here interrupted with
the suggestion that he had probably
said enough before Roosevelt or
ganization.

 Tne full term of the pastorate here of Rev. Forney Hutchinson, of the Central church here, is ended. and there is quite strong desire to have Rev.

 His sermon was a masterful one on how to live a perfect life. At the close Dr. Golden offered a prayer, which ended the service

 Dr. McMurray took his text from the second chapter of Haggai, and dealt with church extension work. With humor in his voice, he asked the ladies to remove their hats, for the evening service. He talked also from tae prophecy of Jeremsan, ana said there Is not an institution in the world appraised far below it's value as the church of God Education is a byproduct of the church, and the church is back of all christianity.
 Go where the caurch is not known, and you will not find christianity. The men are drawn together by one common aim. and common interest, and this is a by-proauct of the church. Ilf we could get the citizens of the United States to recognize the need of church extension, We could build more clurches throughout the coun- try. The extension board was organ ized in 1882. The Methodist church buildings in the south number 16,S29, on the 30th day of last April. The church extension has to it's credit for every week, five and one-half churches that are built. Where would the peo- pie be. then, without the extension board?
