Rev. S. B. Jones is correct
when he says by inference, that
the great lack in the negro CON-
munity is a ministry able to
cope with the times and render
real service, Rev. Jones AYERS
that the falling off of church at
tendance and the lukewarm in
tercst in the church is caused
from the weakness and inefici-
ency in the pulpit, he says the
magnitude of the work required
by pastor is such that the ma
jority of the colored pastors
are not able to render commen-
surate service. This we believe
is a true statement and a true
presentation of the facts and the
conditions. Our preachers, most
of them, mean well. but do not
know how or what to give the
people. Most Of the preach
ers have not a thorough edu-
cation. that is, they have not
gone far enough in their prepar-
alton for their chosen work to
overbalance their parishioners.

to impart light and to inspire;

not let anybody point their I'm

tionable place for a man OF his
calling, preachers are human
beings like editors and other
men, but we must practice
what we preach more. We are
glad that the preachers see the
cause and will proceed to efface
it. Rev. L. E. Christy of the
St. Johns A. M. E. Chuch o.
Springfield, was very much right
when he said the people have
no more right to accept the in
ferior work from a preacher
than they would accept from 9

artisan, if a preacher can't ren

at the dawn of civilization and
marched down the war beaten
centuries, like school children
following the narrow path from
the country school house around
the hill to their huts on the hill
side far away, but sure.
His historical portrayals, en-
umerations of great characters,
his figures of speach, his paint
ing of wars on the canvas, his
characters presented for compar-
ison, stand out in bold relief,
unexcelled.
Judge Stone and Sen. Daley
pronounced it to be the greatest

finest contrasts and compari-

at Bunker Hill, and Robert G.

at Waggoner; the one for the
liberty of the white man, the
other for the liberty of the black
man. And no finer picture was
drawn than that of Sambo

stir the blood and make any
negro proud, yea, make him cry
out, "Hosanna for ever more. |"

tribute than the one paid him
by Sen. Daley, and. he hastened
on to say, that the colored peo-
pie were extremely fortunate to
live in a community where men
of such calibre dwell.

is also the oldest district associ-
alton of colored Baptists in the
United States of America. Hence

the actions and the expositions OF
the ministers and layman and
lav vwomen who have to their cred
it seventy five years experience
OF independent denominational

to hear these speakers apply
tn 'se New Testament principle,
t new events and to new condi-
tions.
Every church in the Wood r "
er district is expected to repre-
sent. Every church and every
minister In the State of Illinois is
invited to attend this session.
Full and ample preparation is
made by the Union church to en-.
tertain all who attend.

BASEBALL SQUAD
ISG|VEN LECTURE
Coach Harper Tells Men It's Up
to Them to Turn Out at
Every Practice if They
Would Make Team.

Although bad weather conditions
necessitated indoor practice at Notre
Dame yesterday morning, Coach Har-
per did not abandon his plan of hav-
ing frequent practice games, but sent
his men through more than a hour of
real play. During the morning work
out the coach gave the baseball men
a short lecture in which he emphat-
ically declared that constant attend
ance at practice would be absolutely
necessary. None of YOU" he said,
'can afford to slight the daily work
outs if you intend to land a place on
the varsity. There are now but three
weeks before the opening of the sea-
son and / want TO see every one of
you out here every day"
After a sharp infield workout, Har-
per sent Farrell to first base, Bjoin to
second, u. Newning to short and Har-
ny Newning to third. Fitzgerald and
Kenny were selected to do the battery
work and play was begun. Fitzgerald
had good control, yesterday, and al
though he used no curves, he allowed
only a few runs during the five in
nings he worked. "F'itz' twice pull
ed out Of difficulties by picking men
off on the bases. a quick throw to ID.
Newning nailed man who had too
big a lead off second, while an inning
later "FitZ" threw another man out
at first.
With the exception of the men
playing the infield and the reserve
pitchers and catchers. Harper gave
every man a chance to show what he
could do at the bat.
Captain Kelly relieved Fitzgerald
and worked for six innings, allowing
four runs. No curves was the rule
in yesterdays game, but Kelly used
his slow ball with telling effect. a
couple of the old men got to him,
however. Kelly fooled Lathrop on a
SLOW one. but the lanky outfielder
came back a moment later and bang
ed the balloon ball for what would
have been a three base hit if the men
were playing outdoors. Duggan also
managed TO register n base hit by
pOking one OF Kelly's slow ones into
safe territory.
The candidates for the freshman
baseball team had their first workout
together yesterday afternoon. Many
of the first year men have been prac-
ticing daily with the varsity. Although
the freshman nine has as yet no sched-
ule, the youngsters Will probably meet
the best interscholastic talent in this
vicinity.
