ACTION OF SOUTHERN BAPTIST CON-
YENTION AT ST. LOUIS
Report of Location in Daily Papers
Premature Matter Not Settled
Yet - Educational Board Will
Meet on 29th-Expected
Matter Will Be Settled
Then-SeVera Cities
Bidding.

Special to the Globe
Memphis, Tenn, May 19.-When it
was published in the daily papers that
the National Baptist Theological Sem
mary would be located In Louisville,
KY, deal of commotion was caused
hereabouts.
The Southern white Baptists at
their meeting at st. Louis took def
mite action on this matter and voted a
subscription annually to the education
of the Negro Baptist preachers. The
fact that this action was taken carried
with it the speculation as to its loca-
tion.
Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, secretary Of
the Educational Department, was ap-
preached by a representative of the
Globe and asked if it was fact that
the Seminary would be located in
Louisville. He said that it was not,
and that the announcement was pre-
mature He said several cities
were bidding for the Seminary, but
that no definite action would be taken
until the 29th of this month, when
tnC DOdlu hlCNlS III JllS ClIys
It is expected then that some def
mite action will be taken. It is known
that Nashville, and especially the Bap-
lists of that city are deeply interest
ed in this matter. It was thought
for a time that this Seminary would
be built on the campus with Roger
Williams University, but other cities
are making strong bids for it.
It is believed by those in a position
to have some Judgment as to the best
thing to do in this matter that the in.
terests of the denomination will be
first and foremost at all times. Great
stress is laid upon the need of the
illogical seminary to train the young
ministers of the Baptist denomination
and the matter of location will play
no significant part in final settle
ment of a permanent home for the in
stitution.

The large auditorium of Mt. Olive
Baptist Church. Cedar street, was
filed Monday night to hear the lee
ture of eX-Congressman George w.
Murray, of South Carolina, on Race
Ideals" 1t was one of the best ad-
dresses heard in Nashville on the race
question. He considered three phases
of the question-"the effects, cause
and remedy of race troubles"
Speaking of the races ideal man.
he said.
Each races ideal man is in itself
it paints pictures or models man in
the physical likeness of its own
members, and having no higher con-
ception of the forms or God and an
gels in their physical likeness.
Among all races and tribes, except
the American, the ideal man or wom-
an is the one who comes nearest rep
resenting the purity and nobility of
their race"
Hon. Murray has filled several en-
gagements this week, and on each oc.
casion a good audience greeted him.

UNION MONTHLY MEETINGS HELD AT
PLEASANT GREEN.
Rev. Ellington Principal Speaker
The "ldeal Neiehborhood" crux of
the Address-Compares Gypsy
Nobody Can Make Anything
of Him-Urged Home-Buy-
ing-CIean Up Day
Yesterday.

The regular monthly meeting of the
North End Neighborhood Union was
held Monday night at the Pleasant
Green Baptist Church. The principle
speaker of the evening was Rev. FL
lington, pastor Of the First Baptist
Church. He spoke especially of the
work of the Union. Among other
things he SAID the North End Negro
Union is striving to make an ideal
neighborhood of this community, be-
cause it realizes that it is the place
of our home. We feel that every one
should be urged to have home Of
his own. We should leave the vicini,
ty that Spectators have built for US
and go into good homes where we can
live in comfort and ease Contnu-
ing he said, God and noDody else can
do much with a Gypsy people, be-
cause they do not stay in one place
long enough they are always on the
CO. In this Neighborhood Union we
are encouraging the people to settle
down in homes of their own and to
feel that they are a part of the COM
munity where they live. II is hard to
get a man interested in a place that
does not belong to him. Home own
ership brings interest in the city.
The speaker made a strong plea for
united effort on the part of the
citizens to make the community the
very best that it possibly could be-
and he emphasized that the only way
that such can be hoped for is for the
people to buy property, as they will
realize after they get property that
they are a part and parcel of the
great city of Nashville, and will strive
to do their duty as such.
A special feature of the meeting
was the announcement of plans by
the president, Mr.. S. H. Johnson, and
the arrangement for the special Clean
Up Day which was observed yester
day. The committee on street sew
erage sanitation reported that they
would make arrangements to have
city carts in the neighborhood on thai
day to carry off the rubbish and gar
bage.
Thursday was a great day in the
community and the results of the
Clean Up Day are visible. They also
endorsed the action of the Negro
Board of Trade in their effort to eX
tend the car line to the State Nor.
NAL.
The next meeting is set for Juno 16
when it is hoped to have a genera
attendance of the people of the com
munity at a place designated by the
executive committee.

PHILANTHROPY.

Philanthropy is very high-cIass
method of putting it back
When a man gives a dime away,
that's charity. When he gives $40,
that is generosity. But when he gives
a million away, that is philanthropy.
Philanthropy has filled the country
with orphan asylums, old peoples
homes, hospitals and missions. And
in getting together the money with
which to build these things some OF
the philanthropists have made enough
orphans to fill the asylums, enough
poor old people to crowd the homes
and enough cripples to congest the
hospitals.
