5APTIsTs WILL SMOKE THE
PIPE OF PEACE,

From all appearances 1t would
seem that the pipe of peace" will
be the chief weapon among the Bap-
fists at the coming session of their
National Convention in this city.
All efforts to find a discordant note
I to locate some contention which
of sufficient import to cause the
! usual Baptist row, have
will prove futile. In other words,
as far as can be learned, after
close interview with some of the
/ leading men of the denomination
everywhere, it can be stated upon
good authority that the meeting
here in September will be a getting
together" of the Baptists of the
whole world, especially those that
go to make up the National Baptist
Convention. Thus it is handed
out that on the fftieth anniversary
Of the Emancipation of the slaves,
the Negro Baptists will cease their
warning and unite in one solid
phalanx for the betterment of their
erligious work throughout the coun-
try.
AS far as can be learned
from the officials of the convention
there will be no old sores opened,
no discordant notes sounded. In
fact, there appears not a billow to
mar the peaceful sea. While it is
certain that much business brought
over from the Houston session of
the Convention will come up for
consideration, it is understood that
not even the president of the con-
vention will press this to an extent
that it will be distasteful to the dele
gates who go to make up the con-
vention, Among the matters that
are to come up is the revision of the
constitution. But it is a forgone
conclusion that the old constitution
will not be changed, as many of the
leaders are of the opinion taht this
able document is sufficient for the
government of the National Baptist
Convention. 1t is also predicted
that there will be no change be-
tween the correlation and the work
ing of the Home Mission Board and
the National Baptist Publishing
Board, as it has been shown to the
satisfaction of all that the greatest
mission work possible is being done
by the co-working Of these two
boards. Many other denominations
who have looked upon the National
Baptist Convention are just begin
ming to learn that the Convention
while it really recommends being
Baptist as it is, in reality is not
legislative because of the principles
Of the Missionary Baptists. Many
of the things that are going to
come up in the meeting this yaer
will be on the order of progressive
measures to advance and increase
the spread of the work throughout
the country.

pEArH on A NOBLE WOMAN.

Nashville has lost one of its pearls
by the death Of Mrs. r. P. Moore.
She was lowed and respected by
every man, woman and child, for
she had a kind word and look for
every one. Her place cannot be filled
in church, never be filled as a wife,
and the love she had for her family
was more than ordinary. She was
conscious of her death and died with
full hope and faith in the Lord. The
hour set for the last solemn service
over the remains arrived. Slowly
and sadly the howerdecked casket
was borne into the church, while
the great gilded organ Numbered out
the melancholy strains of the fun
eral march. AS the notes of the
march died away on the heavy per-
fumed air, the pastor stepped
to the front Of the pulpit and with
the book in hand gave out the song
"On Christ the Solid Rock Stand"
The chair made vacant in the choir
by her death will always remain so
for it can never be filed Amid the
solemnity that reigred Prof. and
Mrs. ]. w. Work sang pleadingly
the beautiful and touching duet,
"They Went Astray," by Vincent
from the Prodigal Son. Mrs. Henry
Cameron sang Death Is Only a
Dream" The tender, pleading words
touched a sympathetic cord in every
heart and low Sobs filed che holy
temple and all eyes we're wet with
tears. At last the funeral services
we're concluded and the casket with
its fragrant burdens was borne from
the church by loving hands and the
funeral train moved slowly and sadly
in the direction of the weird silent
city Of the dead" where the vault
was waiting to receive its beautiful
treasure. Mr.. w. H. McGavock
had charge of the funeral.

vastly more consideration than color
in ali phases of Fisk University life.
He does not believe in inequalities
and stands firmly on the doctrine Of
"The FatherhOod Of God and Brother
hood Of Man." and is therefore not
expected by the graduates ana real
friends of Fisk to introduce the color
question or be the means of giving
it an entrance into the affairs Of Fisk
University. That would be contrary
to the best sentiment of the majority
of tit GRADUATED and friends of Fisk,
and i, direct opposition to the prin-
ciplos upon which Fisk University has
been founded.
The colored members of the faculty
of FIX have been chosen not so much
because they were colored but rather
because they were the best fitted for
the positions they hold. If a colored
Dean or President of Fisk are ever
elected the choice will be made be-
cause Of their fitness and ability rather
than their color. The graduates and
best friends of Fisk are not Hanging
on the color line" as much as they
are on the questions of ability, time
and other conditions of paramount
importance in the matter of a colored
president of Fisk They are working
in perfect harmony and cooperation
with the Trustees of Fisk and these
forces working together for the best
welfare of the institution, will settle
the que stion aC he proper time. When
the graduates and real friends of Fisk
recommend d rolored man for the po-
sition. it will not be because of his
color, but for the very good reason
that he is qualified in every respect
to take hold OF the affairs of Fisk
and place the institution on a higher
road of progress and keep it there
Last year at Fisk was one of un-
usual success in all the things essen
tial to the life u the institution. Fisk

stands now in the hearts Of the peo-
pie as it has not for many years. 1t
is cn the eve o. Shst its graduates and
friends consider an era of prosperity
and this is very largely due to the
hardship there last year. 1t would Of
course be a great risk for an outsider
to be placed at the head of affairs
there now. In addition, there are
other difficulties in the way of max
ing a selection of an outsider. Ger
tainly the sentiment of the graduates,
students and Nashville citizens has
been strongly in favor of Dr. Morrow
all along, but this condition has not
existed because of any feeling that
he would plan the way for a colored
man to succeed him in any position
unless the man was fully qualified and
the Trustees of Fisk requested his rec
ommendation In this respect. l be-
lieve that if such a condition obtained,
/ Or. Morrow would not hesitate for a
mor1elt, but do not believe he would
say anything or do anything to COM
nit himself 20 any policy along the
/ lines suggested in the article appear
ing in your PAPER. unless his recon-,
mendation was iustifiable in every re-
spect.
Dr.. Morrow is a graduate both of

successful as o pastor He keeps

additional fact that the question of

BRILLIANT RECEPTION.

The home of Prof and Mrs. F. G.
smith, Of Fourteenth avenue, North,
was a beautiful scene Tuesday af-

assemble to meet the following visit
ing ladies': Mesdames c. H. Johnson,
of Atlanta, Ca; Lorenzo Johnson,
Nashville, Tenn; Misses Maria
Graves, Ethelyn Bibbs, of Atlanta,
and Pattie Cashin, of Decatur, Ala,
These ladies were elegantly dressed
in white charmeuse and lace dresses
with the exception of Miss Graves,
who was prettily gowned in vel.
low charmeuse. These ladies form.
ed the receiving line with the addi-
ton Of Misses Alien and Smith, and
they stood beneath the chandelier;
they we're objects of universal ad-
miration. The guests were received
by Mesdames c. N. Langston and
Alonzo Napier, and introduced to
the receiving line by D. Wesley
Crutcher. The young men were
dressed in evening suits and added
dignity to the occasion The colors
carried out during the afternoon
were pink and green, which made a
lovely combination. One OF the low
lest sights seen that afternoon was
Misses Lillian Allen and Edwina
Smith as they stood together for a
few minutes-the delicate fairness
Of one contrasted with the dark
richly colored bloom of the other.
The dining-room was quite beauti-
full sight decorated with pink carna-
tions and ferns, and as each guest
was asked to appear in this room to
be served with an ice-course they
were met by Mr.. Eugene Page with
his courtly grace, who had charge Of
the dining room. Aboutf150 guests
were received during the afternoon.
Each lady carried bunch Of flowers
which made the afternoon affair
more beautiful. The fair hostesses
will always be remembered for the
happy hours spent on Tuesday after
noon.

LITTLE STORIES OF SUCCESS
Number 4.

Number A.
Stevens of Troy.
From time immortal Troy and its
citizens have been famous. There
was Priam who ruled over that an
cient Troy which we are told was
located in Western Asia on the
shores of the Mediterranean. There
was mighty Hector, the son of Pri.
am whom the still mightier Achilles
slew. Then there was that other
son of Priam, Parks, who eloped
from Greece to Troy with Helen the
most beautiful of women and as a
result caused one Of the most fam
Gus wars in all history.
1t is not, however, of this Troy
that Henry Vale Stevens the
subject of this sketch is a citizen,
nor has he had Homer to sing his
praises. He is an humble black
man, harness-maker, who lives
down in Troy, Alabama, which is
one Of the least of the 33 Troys in
the United States. Mention is
made of Stevens not because of any
specially wonderful thing that he
has accomplished, but to call at
tention to the opportunities which
Negro with a trade has in the
smaller cities and towns OF the
South. Stevens received a certifi
cate in Harness-making from Tus-
kegee Institute in 1900 and since
that time has been working con-
stantly at his trade Several years
ago he started in business for him
self at Troy and has always had as
much or more work than he could
do In connection with his harness
making he carries on carriage-trim-
ming, and shoe making. He owns
good home and other property
and is a leader in that section. He
receives the patronage of the best
people Of the town and vicinity.
Concerning him A. C. Edmonson,
the Probate Judge Of the city in a
recent communication said:
Il have known H. V. Stevens for
the past FIVE years, and can say
that he has conducted himself in a
heightened and gentlemanly manner
since he came here, is well thought
of by all I consider him one Of the
best harness-makers that has ever
been in this part Of the state. He
certainly is master of his profession
and has the confidence of all" U.
S. Carroll, President of the First
National Bank, in his testimonial
concerning Stevens said:
ct affords me pleasure to state
that II. V. Stevens of this city is an
upright man. I have had consid
cradle dealings with him. He is
worthy of the confidence of the
business public; he is a harness
maker by trade and his work is Of
the very highest type He has mo-
only served the public well in his
trade. but has made a reputation
for fair dealing and has the conf
dence of the citizens Of this city,

THE OLD GUARD ON THE JOB.

AS the time draws near for the
campaign to be launched in full
sway, the old guard can be seen any
day hanging aroung the hcadquart-
ers of the candidates Some would
be preachers have left their pulpits
end some who have their shingles
hanging out as M. DIS have left their
patients to the fever and other dis
eases and have gone off to look after
the candidates. 1t is a pitiful scene
to behold these men who when every
thing is quiet and there is no cam
paign going on make great noise
about their profession, but as soon as
some man announces for Office dive
into politics up to their eyes. Every
one of them can deliver every Negro
vote in this city to every candidate
that is running, if their story is be-
lleved when intact they cannot de-
lived, anything and are merely hang
ing around to see what they can pick
IN. Five or ten dollars or any
amount just so they get their hands
in the pie.
No one seems disturbed about this
army nowadays, however, because
intelligent men do not need a guard

A CLERGYMAN'S STORY
Came Near Losing His Life-How He Escaped

we quote from another letter, dated
December 10, 1906: 81 praise Peruna
to all the sick. The people know
my case, and they praise it Also"
In letter dated November %,
1909, we quote Rev. Roberts: "Pe-
runa gave me back my life ten
years ago. All my acquaintance
know that. I am certainly thankful
to you for your kindness"
In later letter. dated January Is,
1910, he says: Il shall ever in the
future, as in the past, be ready to
speak in praise of Peruna to all suf-
ferers I believe my miraculous cure
has been the means Of many others
being cured in this county"
From a letter of September S, 1911,
we quote few words: Il am still
among the living. AS to Peruna, I
do not feel that I have words to ex-
press the faith I have in its merits.
I feel that Peruna has been the
means, through the kind providence
of God, Of prolonging my life for
more than ten years"
We quote a still later letter, October
81, 1912. He says: II took a severe
cold three weeks ago. I at once sent
for Peruna. Have been taking it two
weeks. I am now better. consider
that Peruna has carried me over a
dozen years of life. I always stand
ready to answer any question in ref
erence to Peruna."
We quote from his last letter, dated
January 2, 1913: Dear Friends: I
wish this bright New Years to ex-
press my thanks to you for your
kindness. Trusting that you may
have a successful and happy year, and
that your medicine may prove
blessing to many as it has to me, I
am yours as ever, G. w. Roberts,
Hartsell, Alabama, r. F. D. 2, Box
27."
It is not necessary for us to add
any words to this story. The elo-
quence and pathos of these letters
are more convincing than arguments
or affidavits. Who can doubt the
clergyman's story? Who can doubt
that Peruna saved his life?
