MR.. RAILROAD MAN, ARE YOU
THINKING?

We have before us an article which
contains the number of legislatures
before whom the full crew bill' was
introduced. Just as there has been an
organized movement to have anti
marriage measures passed in the va
rious legislatures throughout the
country, it seems that there is and
has been a well engineered plan on
foot to have the colored railroad por-
ter eliminated from service in the
West, North and Southwest, although
several states Gncluding Colorado)
have refused to consider the discrim-
nation The Locomotive Brotherhood
is said to be behind the movement
The scheme is to have the employ
ment of only union trainmen and pre-
vent the Negro from acting in that
capacity at all. The Negro seemed
disorganized, Indifferent and some di-
vided over the method of handling
the situation. But, Mr. Railroad Man,
don't you know that this same Broth-
erhood which excludes you will come
back doubly prepared and strength
ened to carry through their measures
next time? We say, and common
sense dictates, that you prepare now
for after while, because after while
will be now. Organize your men, ap-
point your committee, not only to de-
fend you in the legislature but also
to investigate the securing of home
steads, SO that if the blow is struck,
you can step from the railroad to
your farm. There is absolutely no
excuse for delay; no reason why you
ought not take up some land for fu-
ture uses. Use your job today for
stepping stone of tomorrow. The
land is very accessible and reason
able to obtain and for that reason we
appeal to you to THINK of the dan
gers, trouble and discouragements
ahead. Act now, do it today. ONLY
THINK.

THE PASSING OF BISHOP DER
RICK.

Few men of our race in this nation
have been more prominently identi-
fed in the development of the COM
mercial, religious, political, social and
martial life of the Negro than ri.
Rev. w. b. Derrick, bishop of the A.
M. E. church. Bishop Derrick soon
showed himself to be a ripe scholar,
eloquent orator and fearless cham
pion of human rights, as well as an
observant traveller, he was man OF
world wide experience. He had no
equals among his churchmen OF this
country and his removal from public
life takes off one of the most bril-
liant, true-and-tried characters in this
country His place can and never
will be filled in American history. He
was kind, sincere, loyal and devoted
to his church and race, and especially
did he love America. He was the
second of the bishops to die within
month, Bishop Moses B. Salter dying
about three weeks ago. May their
ashes rest in peace.

THE ALLIANLE NOTES.

The Ladies' day program at the
Peoples Sunday Alliance Sunday al
ternoon, the 9th ult, was success
The attendance was good and the
program was carried out as sched
uled. All of the musical numbers
were creditably rendered. The ladies
chorus, while not up to its possibil-
ity in number, was not wanting in the
quality of it's service. Mrs. Minnie
Hayes work at the piano was just
what we expected of an artist of her
ability and experience. The vocal
work of Miss Edith Baker (who, by
the way, is to be one of our June
graduates) indicated talent and flu
ture possibility. AS to the literary
numbers, Mrs. A. NJ. Lawhorn's reci-
tation was happy selection cleverly
rendered The paper of Mrs. Robert
L. Pope was the number that so many
of us had been anxious to hear. 1t
brought forth number of interesting
and personal facts in the life of Har-
riet Beecher Stowe in such manner
as to make one forget that they were
listening to sketch of her life and
work, but it seemed rather the pre-
sentation of a real living personal
friend. One competent judge of lit
erary merit said of it that The pa
per was the better for the lack of
effort at literary adornment." The

ceived and highly profitable to all.

In the spring of 1907 James Chal.

to build. The result is the present
splendid structure, valued at about
$4,000, which was completed little
over five years ago. This house stands
as worthy monument to the wisdom
and conservation of the church and its
former pastor. Il
When the church was completed the
congregation was in debt $3.50. This
was great sum for small church,
but the membership faced it like true
heroes. Rev. Chalmers closed his min
istry in March, 1909. Rev. James N.
Thomas, the present pastor, began the

his coming the debt had been reduced

plans are to pay this balance in the
fall and have 4 great jubilee meeting.
During all these years the church
has been faithful to the great mission

FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
James N. Thomas, Pastor.

Early in the Nineteenth Century a
number of choice Christian men scat
tered over the Eastern States became
grieved at the divided state of the
church and yearned for the union Of
all of Gods children. They discovered
the seventeenth chapter of John and
in it the prayer of our Lord for the
union of all who should believe on
Him. Soon they became associated in
their ministry of a great divine mes
sage. The outstanding characters Of
this group of men We're Thomas and
Alexander Campbell, Barlow w. Stone
and Walter Scott. They were great
men worthy of the reformer's toga.
Their watchword was Back to
Christ" They urged a simple New
Testament basis of union, the New
Testament names, creed, ordinances,
organization and Christian life. They
believed this would win, and today the
strong drift of the Christian world is

memories have become part of the
old walls and the chaste liturgy of it's
services has been still further en-
riched for us whose thoughts are d.
rected by the same prayers bearing
the stamp and breathing the spirit Of
apostolic days, in which we, as well
as they, are having our souls prepared
for heaven. By their holy lives this
ritual comes with a richer freight of
hallowed associations and blessings to
the generation which succeeded until
We in our turn have inherited it. We
can wish nothing better. We ought to
strive to live in the footsteps of the
holy dead who have gone before u.s.
The above sketch is voice Of the
past which should weld our hearts
stronger together and make us thank
full. The vanished hand has left it's
work for us, and our new church will
still be old st. Andrews, and in bid
ding farewell to the old with all its
splendid sentiment, We joyfully turn
to the new church which was begun
in 1912, not with any feeling of re-
greet, l say, because in being devout
and consistent, we pass through aisles
fragrant with holy associations, and
accompanied by long process Of
the good, using today the self-same
words that have through the centuries
declared the faith or made known the
prayer of that mighty multitude, who,
being now delivered from the burden
of the flesh, are in joy and felicity,
chanting as they march in a unison
of piety and hope until they come to
the holy place where shining saints
sing the new song of the redeemed"
The new church will be churchly
in all of it's appointments, rich in its
vestings, handsome in its fittings-a
church of which we shall all be proud,
which cleaves to the traditions of the
past two thousand years, and its struc-
ture founded upon the eternal bed

FIRST METHOD ST CHURCH.
Rev. Glenn Finn, Pastor.

The first member of the First Meth
odist Church of Bryan was received
n the year 1869. The church, as then
organized was the successor of a
church organized many years previous
at Ferguson Springs, near the Fergu.
son Crossing on the Navasota River.
This organization was moved to old
Bonneville and afterward to Bryan.
Among the first pastors of this church
in Bryan was Rev. II. G. Horton, now
a superannuated member of the West
Texas Annual Conference. Among
those who have succeeded him were
Revs. Cravens Mizell Goodwin, E. S.
Smith, T. F. Mitchell, S. c. Littlepage,
C. II. Buchanan, ]. B. Cochran, ]. F.
Fullen, c. r. Lamar, II. T. Philpot,
N. j. Buggs, Bishop f. d. Mouzon,
George L. Clothier, E. L. Shettles, l..
r Belts, ]. B. Turrentine, T. H. Nor
rls, and the present pastor, Rev. Glenn
Finn.
The church has grown from a small
beginning to a membership OF over
few hundred and is one of the leading
moral and religious forces of the city.
Its development in the last ten years
has been especially noteworthy. A
splendid new church was erected by
the congregation in 1902, only to be
burned in 1906. The plucky congrega-
ton, however. undaunted by this dis
aster, turned itself to the immediate
task of building again and the present
structure, one of the most complete
and attractive in Central Texas, stands
as a monument to their zeal and sacri-
fee. In 1911 the last cent OF indebted
ness was paid on this building, and
1t was dedicated. The congregation
has now turned it's attention to the
broader interests of the church and Is
becoming one of the leading forces in
the Methodist denomination OF the
State, now supporting it's own mission
airy in China at an outlay of 1880
annually, and besides taking Its place
in the support Of the various other
enterprises of the church.

toward this center. The movement
started by these men has grown into
a fellowship of 100000 souls. This
gospel of Christian union found fer
tile soil in the then new States OF
Ohio, Indiana, Missouri. Illinois, Ken
tpcky, and Tennessee.
In 1869, two years after the railroad
was extended to Bryan, group Of
these Tennessee disciples became con-
scious of one another's presence In
the community, and under the leader.
ship of DR.. Kendrick organized the
First Christian Church of Bryan with
twelve charter members, whose names
are here given: Mr.. and Mrs. ]. L.
Proctor and daughter, J. P. Wilson,
Judge and Mrs. Ford, DR.. and Mrs.
Kendrick, Mr.. and Mrs. William San
ders, Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Lampkin.
For while they met in Stems Hall
for weekly observance of the Lords
supper and preaching services. Later
they moved to the courthouse. During
these early days they were mnlstered
to by DR.. Kendrick and the elders,
]. l.. Proctor, j. p. Wilson and Judge
Ford. These men were earnest stu
dents of the Word OF God and Jealous
teachers. They have left an abiding
impress upon Bryan. The little band
of men and women who were the char
ter members of this church have all
gone to their reward, but their works
do follow them.
The old brick church was built in
1851 This was the first permanent
home of the church and was occupied
for thirty years. During this time
there were no deep valleys or high
mountains in the experience OF the
congregation. But the light was con-
slant and the church was a perma-
nent factor in the social and religious
life of the community. Many preach
ers ministered during these years,
among whom may be mentioned B. f.
Wilson and B. B. Sanders of sainted
memory. G. Lille Smith commenced
his ministry here, and it was through
the encouragement given by such men
