Rev. II. J. Calls Pastor.

The sudden change in the weather on
last Sunday was the cause for the de-
crease in the attendance upon the serv-
ices at our church. 1t is remarkable
what great influence the weather has
upon the followers of the cross In their
loyalty to the Masters cause. Those
who were present seemed to enjoy the
services and to feel amply rewarded
for their Inconvenience.
The Sunday School rally has been the
talk of the church as well as the Sun
day School. 1t was a splendid effort
crowned with abundant success. The
teachers and officers need to congratu-
late themselves. The superintendent,
Mr.. G. ]. jackson, deserves special
mention for his zeal and interest. 1t
is hoped that our parents may become
so interested in the Sunday School and
in the instruction of their children,
that the children may be led to accept
the Lord Jesus.
Bishop G. L Blackwell, our presiding
bishop, is spending Sunday with US and
will occupy the pulpit morning and
evening. This is to be our Supplement
tary Rally Day. We need Five Hun
dred Dollars. 1t is hoped that every
member and friend will do his and her
best to help in this effort All persons
holding rally boxes are expected to re-
port at the morning or evening service.
The social and supper to be given
Tuesday evening, December 10th, at
the residence of Mrs. ]. w. Bell, AIS
Dearborn Street, is to be an interesting
affair. Admission is only five cents.
The person selling the largest number
of tickets will receive Five Dollars in
gold. That will be very handy for
Christmas.
The third Sunday, December 21st,
win be our Second Quarterly meeting.
Rev. E. r. Lewis will preach the sac
ramental sermon at three O'Clock.
This will be the last quarterly meeting
before the revival season begins. AL
Methodism is invited to our services,
especially in the afternoon.-"C."

Number of Friends Attend Funeral
of Thomas Smith.

Funeral services for Mr.. Thomas
Smith, Chicago's oldest Afro-Ameriean
mail carrier, who died Thursday, De-
cember 4th, were held at Shiloh Bap-
fist Church Sunday morning. Mail
carriers and other post office employees,
Masonic fraternities and a large num-
Der of friends attended the services,
which were conducted by the pastor,
Rev. Harris, but the church was too
small, and many could not gain ad-
mittanee, while the last sad rites were
being read.

TOO MUCH JoHNsoNI

Although Champion Jack johnson il

nishes news for the newspapers in the
United States. Last week in Chicago
the newspapers again gave consider
able space to matters in which he was
more or less interested. First his
brother Charlie brought down the
wrath of the law upon himself by hav-
ing in his possession an Oyercoat that
did not belong to him. For this the
Judge gave him a month in the Bride
well. Then Charlie got mad, struck a
court officer and the Judge made it a
year.
In the same issue was ehronicled the
death of Mathew s. Baldwin, by as
phyxiation in his Evanston home. Mr..
Baldwin was the Champions bondsman

SOME RED CROSS SEAL FIGURES

SOME RED CROSS SEAL FIGURES.
Few people have any idea Of the
magnitude of the Red Cross Christmas
Seal Campaign. This year over 100,.
1000 seals have been printed and
distributed. If placed end-to-end
these seals would extend nearly 2,40O
miles, or practically from New York to

to over $4,000 different agents and viii
be sold and handled by an army Of not
less than 100000 volunteers, including
men, women and children Millions OF

It is hoped that at least $4,000, 900
seals may be sold this year. The

is based Is that every cent except what

Thinking that many who have
chosen the stage as q means of ivei-
hood, and are thereby termed actors
and actresses, and perehanee did not

IN the Chicago Reeord-Herald, Deeem-
Der 9TH, We reprint the following:
An Actors Prayer.
Oh, Lord, give me grace never to for
get that am human being, before l
am an actor; let me hold fast to the
simpler virtues and realize that while
a good line may bring easy applause, the
plot of Your drama requires action.
Teach me to play tragedy nobly and
comedy cleanly. Grant that l may
never be lacking in respect for my pro-
fession or for my fellow workers.
Show me how to accept correction hum
bly, and applause modestly, and how,
if L cannot be a great artist, l can still
be an earnest and conscientious worker.
Let me never forget that grease paint
on the face cannot disguise ignoble
lines in the heart. Preserve me from
being bound in by the four walls of
the playhouse, and from the forgetting
that Your great universe is the scene
of more wonderful dramas than are
staged by man. And when the final
curtain falls, and the lights are dimmed
apd the mighty Orchestra of the World
has sounded my last exit music, give
me rest and the knowledge that have
been not wholly unworthy of the role
You assigned me, Oh, Master Drama
