tries to poke fun at Billy Old
field because Mr.. Oldfield was
born in log house. Where a
man is born is a matter of very
small concern b ut where he ar
rives in after years is the thing
that counts when we sum up
what is in the man. And in this
respect there appears to be con-
siderable contrast in Billy and
the editor of the Record, both

Everybody wants to see bet

they have dug down again and

David E. Over, D. D., Minister.

Our series of gospel meetings
closed Tuesday night and Dr. Jones
left Thursday for Colorado Springs
where he will spend Sunday, and then
on to the Pacific coast. Undoubtedly
the series has brought a great bless
ing to Zion in deepening the spiritual
life of the people. God used the SER
mons of DR.. Jones to search and sift
Zion as he has rarely done before.
Many have been brought closer to
the Lord and are prepared for a
closer walk than they have ever
known. Among those who came into
the church, twenty-five were received
for baptism.
Mrs. Edwin Seldom, of Broadway
Baptist church, one of the leading
missionary workers of the city, ad-
dressed the ladies of the Mission So
ciety last Thursday afternoon. Mrs.
Branton Tule, a field worker. who
has spent about fifteen years in Africa,
was also present and gave a short
address. With these two women of
experience and power present, the
meeting was necessarily one of rich in
terest and helpfulness.
The pastor will preach Sunday
morning from the subject, "The Word
of God" All the friends are invited
TO be present. The rite of baptism
will be administered at the close OF
the service.
Next week the activities of the con
gregation will take up the regular
schedule. A full page of announce
ments may be had from the Church
Bulletin at the Sunday service.

SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES.
Rev. Robert L. Pope, B. D., Pastor.

Our spring revival is now in prog
ress and already signs of showers of
blessing appear. Under the forceful
gospel sermons by DR.. ]. p. Howard,
than whom the race has not produced
a more successful evangelist, increas-
ingly large crowds are being drawn
to the meetings and already a num-
Der of persons have been led to con-
fess Christ and others, who were on
the back ground, have renewed their
covenant. The Billy Sunday cam
paign had a most wholesome effect
upon other races, but our people We're
practically speaking, untouched. 1t
ard to Denver will be the means of a
great shaking up of our people here
and will be the means Of adding to
the membership of all of our church
es. The Lord used Dr. Howard in a
most remarkable way in st. Louis,
Mo, where in two months campaign
more than three hundred persons
were received into the church. 1t is
our prayer that the Lord will accom-
plish as much through him in Denver.
DR.. Towards sermon topics for to-
morrow will be as follows: HOO a.
m, Gods Great Love" 500 p. m,
Repentance Since a great outpour-
ing of the public is expected at both
services, comfortable seats can be as
sured only to those who come early.
Our Easter rally will be concluded
tomorrow, when every member who
has not already complied fully with
his obligation, is expected to report
his assessment in full. Remember,
friends, that excuses are not negoti-
able. If you want to put your officers
in position to pay off the church's in
debtedness, you must make sacri-
flee. Be loyal to your colors. If you
are Red, stand by Mrs. Daniel H. VIII
liams, and if you are Blue, then rally
to the call of Mrs. Matte p. King.

THE coLoRED CITIZENS LEAGUE

This organization, inaugurated on
April 9Th, 1915, has the best interests
of the people at heart along indus
trial, commercial and political lines,
and in its declaration, pledges itself
with the support of the people to es-
tablish strong, influential, clean, right
eous and practical ways and means to
assert our rights in accordance with
the law and ever strive to gain the
recognition which we merit as
whole, but which is being. forfeited to
us on account of the actions of some
politicians in our city.
There is at present among us
class OF men who have a peculiar ten
dency to turn every patriotic and
other public movement into some I'M
derhand political scheme to blindfold
the people and carry out their selfish
motives and desires. Such actions
should be discouraged and frowned
upon before they result in an open
disgrace, as those who are guilty pos
sess no honest interest in any cause
launched for the benefit of the race
and eventually sink to the element OF
destructive agents who pride in doing
everything to impair the progress of
things constructive. 1t is getting to
such state that even when a body of
citizens resolve to stamp out this evil
by calling public meeting, represen-
tatives of this unfortunate class will
appear in large numbers to disrupt,
annoy and make unintelligible by their
continuous Interruptions the proceed
ings of the meetings. The time is
therefore ripe when the community,
| firing of this action, should begin to
get rid of this class of people If these
same persons who are so anxious to
further this immoral course would be
so Jealous as to exercise the same
amount of honest care for the COM
mercial, industrial and political inter
ests of their race by supporting race
/ enterprises with money and not wind,
establishing and patronizing business
| houses contributing to the upkeep of
the church which helps spread civil
cation, and not enjoy in their present
Improbable action the race would
come in for betterment in an ennobl-
ing degree. No small clique of de
crepit politicians represents the pub
lie interest They may have the right
to choose their own course in politics,
but they should stick to politics and
not be forever trying to deceive the
public. No honest public movement
need lack for followers, because it
must first emanate from trustworthy
source, go before the public on its
merits and not be the result of a pol
icy born in a night and brought tc
light by some parasite When oul
men scheme let them scheme fol
themselves. When they wish to be
patriotic let them get rid of their sci
fshness, get out of their narrowness
and work with preness of thought and
action for their race and country
This the Colored Citizens League pro
lposes to do and we trust may carry
out their plan successfully.
