listened To attentivcly. Mr.. Lewis said:
'Of the many graduates of Amherst
college none are doing more effective
service than those engaged in the work
of social service. Prominently among
them is the Rev G. II. Parkhurst. who
gave to New York city its first awak-
ening along social lines. District At
torney Whitman is also doing most
excellent work along the lines of so
cial service
"Throughout the country there are
graduates from this institution who
are doing excellent work for the M
lift of the human family generally.
1t Is far easier to condemn than to
save. and it is through just such agcn
cies as women's clubs that this work
is to be accomplished.
Under the social system which we
live in the evil surrounding the young
people of our race Is destined to disap
pear through the courts OF social evo
luton. 1t is impossible for the white
people of this country to save them
selves without saving us. We should
not have to appeal to the public for
funds to carry on ar institution of
this kind for colored girls. but there
should he homes provided and support
ed by the state for all of its citizens
alike
Mr. Coulter said: Ten years ago
the children of New York were treated
as If they were thieves. thugs or drunk
ards. Conditions are greatly improved
now. and the credit belongs to the no
Bile woman who first conceived the idea
of properly dealing with children"
Mr. Coulter further said that If tho
children of our cities are not good we
as citizens are responsible. because We
should surround them with the best in
fuences.
1--WE hear so much of the delinquent
boy and girl. but | want to tell you
that the number of delinquent parents
would astound you. and I hope the day
is not far distant when there will be
an institution for such parents.
There are fewer delinquent boys and
girls among the colored people than
any other race. This is remarkable In
view of the fact that many Of their
parents labor under such treuiSndous
opposition and obstacles"

THE VOTER HAS TO STUDY NOW.

When old politicians. who have
their ambitions involved, are non
plussed at times by the new direct
primary law of Colorado, it is not to
be expected that the average voter
will find it easy sailing. And this
year worst of all the confusion in
parties makes it unusually hard to
distinguish Republican or Demo
crat Yet it is the law, and the voter
at the general election in November
will have to make his choice from
among candidates whose names ap-
pear on the ballot because he permit
ted them to do so by expressing
preference for them in the primary
election in September. Colored vot-
ers must not overlook the Importance
of this primary election. If anything,
it is more important than the general
election, for it is possible that only
the best men will appear on all tick
cts if the voters act wisely in the first
instance, so that the general election
can make little mistake. On the
other hand, if all bad candidates win
out in the primaries, no amount of
brains in the general election can
save the commonwealth from falling
into hands i'll fitted to govern.
Read up now and watch the trend
of political events so that you can
vote intelligently in September.

To the Ministers and Members OF the
Rocky Mountain District, Colorado
Annual Conference, Greeting:
This letter comes to call your at
tention to the fact that we are now
entering upon the fourth and last
quarter of this conference year, and
that we will be called to meet in an
nual session in Cheyenne, Wyo., We'd
nesday, Sept. IS, 1912, and that to
meet pressing obligations at the con-
ference, the ministers must increase
their contingent collections largely.
The conference contingent expenses
this year will be about $4,000, and
you are requested to raise and report
your pro rata of this amount. A law
passed at the recent general confer
ence forbids the use of more than 10
per cent. of the SO per cent. of ID. NJ.
for annual conference contingent ex-
penses, hence this expense must be
met from another source.
We desire to remind you of our
next Educational Day rally. Sunday,
August 10, 1912. On that day each
pastor is expected to ask every mem
ber of the church and every friend of
education to contribute literally for
the rebuilding of Ward hall, Western
University, which now lies in ashes.
Conditions this year warrant our
bishop and board of trustees in ask
ing our people to be more liberal than
ever in their offering for education.
And it is encouraging to note that al
ready friends of the school have be-
gun to respond to this appeal with
sums ranging from 80 cents to $500.
The brave mountain climbers cannot
afford to do less
The eyes of the connection will be
upon the Fifth Episcopal district for
the next -four years The banner of
no chieftain of this division of the
great A NJ. E. army has ever been
known to trail in the dust. We do
not believe our brave progressive
army will allow it to do so now Our
chief commander has spoken; let us
send the request down the line and
follow it up with action.
Again | wish TO call your attention
to one item more. The recent gen
eral conference passed a law requir-
ing the district conference to pay the
travelling expenses of the lay dele
gates to the annual conference. Our
district conference has met and ad-
journed, but we did not collect suf-
ficient money to meet this expense:
therefore a committee was appointed
which apportioned the amount of this
expense among the several charges
and asked that it be raised and
turned over to the presiding elder at
his final quarterly conference.
You are also asked to be more lib
eral in your contribution for our Epis-
copal residence and Douglas hospital
And, finally, we have our first failure
to make in raising dollar money; and
know the feeling and anxiety of
every brother along this line Let
every Christian soldier do his whole
duty and the ship of church will be
safe ag,
Yours in His name,
