ten years, he could not attend school
regularly, but there was lurking In
every fiber of his being a desire for
knowledge. and he never allowed an
opportunity to go by unused. He re-
ceived much information through read
Ing and conversation He delighted to
hear great preachers. Rainy days and
nights were turned into account by
him In the way of study and reading.
In this way he made wonderful prog
ress, and at twenty he was licensed to
teach in the district school.
His first school was in Guilford coun-
ty, N. G. Three years were spent in
this work, and each year he saved his
money, getting ready to enter college,
and when he had got enough to-
gether he entered Shaw university,
Raleigh, N. c., in the spring of 1893,
and was student there until 1901. Dur
ing the vacation Of 1895 he was called
to mission church under the direction
Of the MIDI Street Baptist church,
congregation Of white persons at Ports
mouth, N. H., where he supplied the
pulpit for four months during his vaca
ton.
During his student days he got ex-
perience by pastoring three churches
and had the love and esteem of the
members Of these churches as well as
the other people Of the community. In
every thing that had for its object the
moral and religious training Of the peo-
pie he was found In the front rank,
and 1t Is not surprising that he was
selected by the students Of Shaw uni
versity to represent them In the stu
dent volunteer movement convention
Of the Y. NJ. @. A. held In Cleveland.
o. he graduated from the theological
department at Shaw In 1900 with the
degree Of bachelor Of theology and in
1901 with the degree Of bachelor Of
arts.
Following hts graduation he took up
active ministerial work by accepting a
call to the work as missionary for
western North Carolina, under the plan
Of cooperation directed by the Home
Mission society. He held this position
for several years and resigned It to ac-
cept call from the Friendship Baptist
church In Charlotte. N. c., and from
there to the First Baptist church In
this city.
As a revivalist DR.. Bullock stands
second to none. He has conducted a
number Of successful revivals In South
Carolina as well as In his own state.
and many persons have been added to
the churches under his preaching and
influence. An effort Is being made by
the members to pay OF all the indebt-
edness on the First Baptist church.
and then make several improvements
on the property to accommodate the
rapidly increasing membsrship.

THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.

Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie III. Burroughs.
1 The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part OF
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard of the life of the
masses is the only solution.
As with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about reform the woman
hood of the race must be taught
how to instruct their children In
those virtues, that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro is by nature religious and
therefore moral He Is both; but he
is not enough of either when it comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because of his crude
conception of what the Christian re-
iigion really is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another.
Often the foremost woman in the
church is so far from model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This misrepresenta-
ton of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman
is combination of all. She allows
beer drinking, card playing, and rag
time music in her home. She is loose
in her conversation. Her language is
often smutty Her demeanor be-
comes woman of the street. Her
home is hangout for sliding elders"
and loafing, hungry preachers. Her
house is poorly kept, Her children
are too young to be men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are theregore TIE freshest things in
the neighborhood. They run the
church. They sit in the front heat,
chew gum, talk and keep their "gang"
giggling. To speak to them is to
throw a match into magazine of
powder.
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters, get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers. They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren of too many of those who aspire
to leadership in our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence of their mothers and
give our churches all kinds of trouble.
What we need is new type of
women in our homes as mothers,
and a new type of women in our
churches as leaders and examples for
the young. 5@@
The wig wearing, gum chewing,
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neg1ecting, convention
fever type of women are ont of style,
and from them may we soon be de-
livered. 'i..f
