courage.

It il indeed with much regret that
we are compelled to admit that our
men Of affairs are not learning the
value of time. 1t seems the more we
learn the longer it takes to do things.
A visit to most any of our meetings
will Substantial our contention.
We seem to be imbued with the
owl habit Of staying up all night,
It used to be claimed that the
preachers We're the greatest offend
ers in this respect, but the business
and professional men Of Nashville
can give them several hours now and
beat them in the game.
These all night long meetings are
more harmful than they are helpful
They destroy our health and incapaci
tate us for our daily duties. The rank
and file have to rise early and are on
the go from seven to half past five
and six. They cannot give good ser
vice If they are sleepy and weak from
the physical wear of these all night
meetings. Our people must learn t.
meet, transact business and adjourn
at a reasonable hour.

cHAs. STEWART IN NASHVILLE.

Three sermons Sunday with six spe-
cial addresses Monday was the record
of the Rev. Chas. Stewart, d. d., in
Nashville this week. Arriving from
Jackson, Miss, as scheduled, he went
directly TO the home of Bishop Tyree
on North Hill street. At the 11:00
O'CLOCK hour he delivered an able
sermon to a large audience at the Mt.
Olive Baptist Church on Cedar street.
This was somewhat of a change from
the program arranged for him by Rev.
Boyd. He was to have been at the
Sylvan Street Baptist Church. but ow-
ing TO the absence of the pastor, DR..
Haynes, who was compelled to be out
of the city on special business, the
change was made. At 8 o'clock the
largest mass-meeting for men only in
the history of Nashville was pulled
off. The address was timely, instruc-
tive and enjoyable. The reputation
OF the celebrated 81. o. Midnight
was eminently sustained. On Sunday
night the st. Paul African Methodist
Church gave large and app%reciative
DuulCIiCt W CnS uloIlltS ulouCu NlSlIOl.
Starting in early Monday morning
he spoke first to the students of Wal
den University at 9 o'clock; at 10
O'Clock to the State Normal students
in their new chapel; at II o'clock to
the Meharry students and at 2 p. m.
he spoke at Roger Williams Univer-
sity. The reco1d-making drives to
make these engagements were made
possible by the assistance OF friends
who contributed q their a~utosts9anda

ment. At 8 p m. an %outpouring of
the fair e at Mt. Olive Baptist
Church MADE the day memorable.
Then Monday night, which was the
sixth appearance in one day was the
climax of the engagements. The Me-
harry Auditorium was the scene of
this splendid address which was de-
livered with force and %eloquence. The
student body, the faculty and visitors
we're one in their attention of the
amount of good that the students
would derive from the practical talk
Monday night.

informed that the Cuban men did not
think very much Of the Church; that
they thought it a good place for wo-
men and children to go occasionally,
but for men, the bar-room, the cock
pit, the bull fights, baseball or polo
games were much better. The pro
vailing religion on the island is Cath
Ole, the Spaniards being most largely
Catholic. There is not much evil
dence of the Protestant faith in the
island. Bishop Gambler and the Bap-
lists are making strenuous efforts to
establish churches of their faith
among the natives.
The conditions of vice described in
this letter do not apply to the Ameri-
cans and Spaniards who W the
wealth, intelligence and responsibility
OF the island, but to the native Gu
bans, black and white.
The Cubans do not believe much in
marrying. They largely believe that
a man is entitled to as many wives as
he can control. They seem to be a
set of loaters, who have nothing suh-
stantial in their minds. Gambling
chicken fights, and other vices of the
basest sort, seem to occupy the minds
and time of the people. Cuba il q
great missionary ground for the Chris
tians, and Bishop Gambler and other
Protestants cannot find any field
more fertile than the Retaining of
Cuba for the Lord.

Halter ourselves with a season OF a
long and secure nepose; but, ali! how
snort Is human happiness! Clouds
VIII gather, gloom will settle down
over us, and leave us in despair.
The great art and philosophy of life
is 10 make the best Of the present.
we are all Gods creatures, even
though some of us are so miserable;
so unfortunate, yet We are his, and
are deserving of help. Some. of
our actions may have been contrary
to right principles, but we are hui
man beings and are possessed Of an
immortal soul and none of us art so
free from wrongdoing that we are
not bound to to bestow on one an
other what help we can.
Sympathy for one another bids us
speak a kind word. 1t will help us
along in the highway of Life. 1t is
not the easy living that makes men;
it is the rugged experience. Its tria. s
tempests; here, trouble; over there,
tribulations and heartaches here
n successful one bears on his brow
the marks of the struggles which he
has had to undergo. God gives us
strength to carry us on from one
great trial, to the next. Let us look
for the good in one another. 1t is
better to search for the good than the
bad. Every heart has its griefs;
every house its skeleton; every char
acter is marred with weakness and
imperfections but there is nothing
wholly bad. All of us have impulses
to be good, so why not speak Of these
good points? The world is dreary
enough without our searching for the
bad.
So, dear sisters, let us live up more
to our obligations this year. BE
more kind and loving. Remember
life is short. Let us constantly feel
that we will some day come to the
end of life; and the n important
question for our soul to answer will
be: What have you done to help 9TH
ers? What have you done to lift
the load of care that m like
shadows Of the night, to weigh them
down? Happy is the n who then
can answer, Lord, Il have done what
l could"

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 81, 1918.
Capital Punishment.

The Assembly of Tennessee has de-
feated the bill introduced by Mr.. Gill
bert, of Davidson County, to abolish
capital punishment in this state. Mr..
Gilbert must be given credit for hay
Ing made an able defense of his bill,
and while he did not succeed in get
ting ii passed, he did cause many Of
the men now before the public to go
on record.
This is a serious question, but
many of the members of the Assem-
bly, did not discuss it from a broad
point of view. 1t is a pity, too, that
men who are sent up by the people
as their representatives should allow
themselves to be branded as race
haters, but their utterances when dis
cusslng this bill were such as to justi-
fy such an accusation. 1t will be re-
membered that the men who opposed
the bill did so because of the fear
that some black brute charged with
rape would escape just punishment.
They created the impression that
they would favor the bill but for that
one danger" (O
The colored people of Tennessee
were very much divided on this ques-
ton, but having no power one way
or the other, they made no demon
stration. It is a fact, nevertheless.
that Negroes have different opinions
about capital punishment. They look
at it, however, from a different view
point than our Legislators. They
know that white men are daily COM
hitting rape on black girls and
women, in that they take their money
and station in life and put it against
the poverty andrssuperstition of Me-
gro females, and when the poor creaZ
ture is beguiled he ravishes her Of
all that is sacred. He, the white
man, commits rape continually and
with impunity. He knows, too, that
he will not even be called into ques-
tion-a black demon in a white skin.
He deserves to be burned with tar
and feathers. But Negroes are not
divided on the question of capt.
tai punishment because of pre-
1udice, but because OF the fundamental
question of justice. Is it right for
man to take what man cannot give?
Is society benefited by legal execu-
tions in any form? Tennessee will,
however, have capital punishment in
some form two years longer at the
least, but the issue is not dead. It
will come up again and it is hoped
that the men who will have it to set
tie will be just men of ability and
courage.

THE CoLORED PRESS.

We are highly pleased that so many
colored newspaper representatives
should have gathered last Saturday
in Philadelphia in the Emancipation
Commission headquarters, thanks to
its generosity, to discuss the common
good of the colored press. Nearly ev-
cry rung of the journalistic ladder
is yet to be climbed by the colored
fourth estate and black knights of the
quill. That progress car be brought
about in a large measure only by the
cooperation of all the colored men
engaged in journalism. Not only in
the common circulation of the vital
news Of the race, not only in the Sc
curing of those national advertise
ments-which hardly any colored pa
per can hope to get on its own
strength-but in the common defense
and championing of the best interest
of the race cooperation Is necessary.
We were called upon to submit a few
suggestions to the co1ored press, which
we believe the colored people every
where will acclaim and profit by; and
first among those, we suggested the
elimination Of the bold use of the
word l"Negfola in heads and In adj
vertisements, and the elimination Of
al fake and foolish hair, face bleach,
fortune telling and wildcat finance
advertisements. We believe that the
circulation of the various papers them
selves reflect in direct ratio the atti-
tude of the colored people towards
these things, and 1t was therefore
not only a good to the race, but an
equally vital and obvious good to the
press, which the elimination of these
abuses entails, that prompted u
=uggestions. The future of the ace
is. ever increasingly entrusted to the
colored newspaper. It is a pity and
the races real loss that a larger
number Of capable and ambitious
young man do not enter the ranks.
The field Is yet virgin and the call
is for volunteers who have the
strength and great good to
nioneer. The colored press IS yet in
its infancy, but ont of its promis-
ing future are the issues of a fuller
life for the colored race.-Amsterdam

Dear Sisters Of Chickasaw Court No.
"a:
LAS this is the beginning of a new
year it is the time to lay down old
grouches, oldniTesentments odd hate
and old mental soresT lit is "A slight
to our Maker to carry debasing things
like these into the new year and the
untired life that lies before us. Let
us forget the Sights, the wounds, the
blows, the bitter ingratitude that fell
to us during the past year. If one
was unkind to you, If another be-
trayed you and abused you, rise above
them and say, 81 will forget it," Our
enemies mean for us to remember,
for in remembering, we suffer. So
let us forget, then we triumph over
our enemies. We do not know what
is to come, yet we are hopeful and
confident that in the flight Of time,
old sorrows will be forgotten and our
grief will lose its keenest sting.
We are face to face with new con-
ditions. We are inspired with new
hopes and new purposes. Hope will
always rise in our breasts, and for
that reason there is always some
thing consoling and comforting, no
matter what our present condition
may be-. We have got to prepare
ourselves for the sorrows of life that
are sure to come upon us. We can
not escape. They come to all alike.
