THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION.
Commission to Arrange Celebration
Issues First Annual Report.

The Illinois commission appointed by
Governor Edward +. Dunno for the
purpose of arranging for the tftieth
anniversary celebration of the freedom
of the coIored people in the United
States has made its first annual report.
The commission was appointed in
July, 1913. under an act Of the forty
eighth general assembly. The exposi-
ton will be held in the Coliseum build
ing in Chicago, opening about the 1st
of August 1915. One Of the features
of the celebration will be n series Of
congresses showing the educational,
religious, sociological, agricultural and
industrial progress of the race since
the civil war.
Chicago and Cook county have ap-
pointed committees to assist the state
commission in gathering suitable ma
terial for the exhibits, and congress
sional committee has before it n bill
for $4,000 to defray the expenses OF
the exposition. The commission has
experienced some difficulty in the be-
ginning OF its work in getting such ma
terial for exhibit as 1t wishes, but this
drawback has been overcome, and the
work is moving forward smoothly.
More than 200 models Of inventions
by colored Americans have been loan
ed by the patent Office in Washington
for the use Of the commission In the
arrangement and classification Of the
various exhibits. The coming year
therefore should mean much to the
race in effort. inspiration and hope.
Several of the large business, civic and
religious organizations among our peo-
pie will doubtless hold their annual
meetings in Chicago during the month
of August.
The commission is composed OF Ed
ward f. Dunno. governor OF Illinois,:
the Right Rev. Samuel Fallows. Mrs.
Susan Lawrence JOergenDahl. Major
George w Ford. the Rev. A. J. Carey.

ROUND TABLE CONFERENCE.
Philadelphia Organization Takes Up
Problem of Industrial Conditions.

Problem of Industrial Conditions.
The recent meeting Of the Round Ia
BILE Conference held in Philadelphia for
trial condition Of Afro Americans was
a most important gathering. The con-
ference is bringing its influence to bear
on labor organizations in that it is
urging upon the various trade unions
the necessity and also the fairness Of
giving the colored man n chance to
work at such employment in skilled
labor as his ability warrants. The
Armstrong ASSOCIATE has done much
in this direction and has opened up a
somewhat broader field for employ
ment Of different kinds.
Among the speakers at the confer
cnce and their subjects were Mr.. A. F.
Manley. n contractor, who spoke on
the industrial Situation In Philadel-
phia;" J. Bruce Byall, on the Present
Condition of the Colored Man and the
outlook: Private Education" was dis
cussed by j. X. 2. Brock. Housing
conditions and other timely topics were
also discussed. and an active campaign
was launched to get results along the
lines indicated.
/ The conference emphasized the fact
that there are 10000 colored people In
Philadelphia and that the efforts OF
many of this number in the past to
get employment commensurate with
their ability and aspirations have not
met with as much success as condi-
tions justify. 1t also called attention
to the large amount which the colored
people spend for clothing and food
with white people alone, to say moth
ing Of what they spend with their own
race in business and the professions.
A sentiment for more just and friend
ly relations between the races was one
of the very encouraging features Of
',e conference.

A Short Sermon
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 10.


Dear Editor Republican:-As the
snow is too deep, and the weather
too cold, and am too old to go and
preach somewhere, will write short
piece for your paper for all who may
notice and read it.
The subject is: Are you Saved?'
Now the word saved occurs many
times in the scriptures, and | wish to
ask this question publicly, how many
that read this short sermon (ii you call
it a sermon) can answer positively
and say for himself or herself, 81 am
Saved?"
Now, all are saved or lost, one or
the other. Dear reader, how about
you? The question is not, do you
belong to the church, Many have
thar names on the church book who
are not saved at all
Now, Jesus came to seek and to
save that which werld lost. Has He
saved you, or are you doing all you
can to save yourself2 If so, yon may
be sure you are still lost and a sinner
in His sight.
"Not by work lest any man should
boast" Many may answer yes, be-
cause they are members OF some
church. But are you saved without
your works? Ii you add works you
deny that salvation is by grace. 1t
is wholly of Cor by) grace or entirely
by works.
Many people love to talk about
their good works and church mem
bership, but try to dodge the question
when asked if they have been born
again. Heaven will be inhabited by
those who have had two birthdays in
one year. Have you been born
again? If not, you are building on a
sandy foundation.
Now, if anyone who processes to be
a Christian does not believe that men
and women are saved in this life,
please answer me through this paper,
and | will be glad to help you to
understand the truth CT Gods word.
Should there be an effort put forth
to reach the unsaved in the churches ?
May the Lord bless these few lines
to the saving of some lost soul.
A MINISTER.
