Charley Turner.

tened in open-mouthed wonder. Forty
eight Of his hearers were moved by
his words to live better lives
Little Charlie told of his conver-
sion, and in strong, logical manner
declared the worth of Gods love in
way that the auditors had never
heard it told before. He preached a
real sermon, the best, many said, they
had ever heard on the subject
He was Immediately ordained to
preacher, and he has been preaching
ever since, except for six months
that he was in private school. In
school he made three grades, one
grade every two months
But all the time he was studying
he was yearning to tell the message
which, he was sure, he had been
called upon to deliver to an erring
world From the first his language
was beautiful, his enunciation prac-
tically perfect and his voice possessed
a carrying power which made it posi-
bic for everyone in a spacious audi
torium to hear every word
Charley ascends to the pulpit and
kneels in prayer, then arises and
opens the Bible. He first reads a
passage, interpolated with brief ex-
plantations. Closing the book he quotes
from memory other passages bearing
on the theme under discussion Fol
lowing these preliminaries he launches
into his sermon. 1t is not the sing
song" style of delivery which might
be expected from child; it is not
stock sermon, read without express
sion, but strong, earnest appeal to
non-Christians to live better lives. 1t
is a real sermon, much of it extern
poraneous, but forceful in the ex-
treme.
"A little child shall lead them"
Suffer little children to come unto
me, and forbid them not, for of such is
the kingdom of heaven" These are
his fathers explanation of his boys
power
After the sermon proper is over the
young preacher descends to the altar
oil ollo pC5o Hlo Hool lSAS " SSt IlSul
with God" And these appeals are
rarely in vain. Sinners are touched.
They go forward and shake the boys
hand, and he kneels with them as they
pray for Gods mercy upon them.
When he is not preaching he visits
prisons, hospitals and other institu-
tions and makes personal appeals for
convicts. He was in Atlanta recently,
and since then has been preaching in
some of the small towns throughout
North Georgia and East Tennessee.
His father was asked what pecun.
iary arrangements were made for the
boy. He answered. Nothing but
free-will offerings"

BACK TO AFRICA MOVEMENT.

That back to Africa" movement
has been inaugurated by ID. R. Thorn
as. a resident of Bonita, Ariz., is the
information received in COM
munication from Thomas to Attorney
General Wiley Jones. Thomas is sec
retary and treasurer ct the plan
which his letterheads say is THE
Black Movement to Africa"
His communication to the attorney
general reads as follows:
Dear Sir: | have this day made
application to the legislature of Ari-
Zona for a charter right to proceed
and organize all black men, women
and children, who want to go in the
movement and also those who are 80
per cent black-a dark brown hue
into colonies and have them concen-
trate into camps along the upper Mis-
sissippi and Ohio rivers, where they
can be prepared and sent on to
Africa.
For such is the will of God. Please
see the honorable governor and ap-
pear before the legislature and speak
for the character and separation OF
the black from the white race. No
yellow or mixed blooded negroes are
admitted in the movement because
they do not belong to the black race
A couple blank petitions, one filled
out for Jones to sign, accompany the
letter. The petition, entitled "Petl-
tiol to Congress in Support of the
Black Movement to Africa reads
We, ll,e undersigned American citi-
izkrs, feel that it is our duty to petit
lion the honorable president and con-
gress % prepare a home in Africa, ex-
tending 500 miles by 1000 miles, more
Or less, for the ex-slaves and their off
spring, where they shall have a free
ana independent government of their
own; set up and protected by the
Cu1lcu OCdCoS government lOr I0u
years or longer, and appropriate mon
ey to carry the movement into effect,
and separate the two races to a great
extent by sending all the colored peo-
pie who want to go, those unemploy
ed and doing no good here, and all
the colored prisoners in the United
States.
Outside of donations, all expenses
to be charged to the homesteads of
the cOlored people and their new colo-
NAL government. All honorable citi-
zens please sign the petition. When
filled out, send it direct to the Unit
ed States senate, Washington. d. c."

SONG-MY AUTO.

My auto, it's of thee
Short cut to poverty
OF thee l chant.
l blew a pile of dough
For thee two years ago
And now you quite refuse to go,
Or won't, or can't.
Through town and countryside
You were my joy and pride
All, happy day.
I loved thy gaudy hue,
Thy nice white tires so new;
Now you're down and out for true
In every way.
To thee, old rattlebox,
Come many bumps and knocks
For thee l grieve.
Prayed are thy seats and worn,
Badly thy top is torn,
Whooping cough affects thy horn,
| do believe.
Thy perfume swells the breeze,
While good folks choke and wheeze
AS we go by.
| pain for thee a price
'Twould buy a mansion twice,
Now everybody's yelling, ice"
l wonder why.
The motor has the grippe,
The sparkplug has the pip,
And woe is thine.
l, too, have suffered chills,
Ague and kindred ills,
Endeavoring to pay my bills,
Since thou vert mine.
Gone is my bank roll now,
No more 'twould choke the COW,
AS once before.
Yet, if l had the yen,
So help me, John-amen,
I'd buy myself a car again,
And spend some more.

Charles is native of Florida He

of Baptist state convention that
the lad, when the invitation to peni-

same night he told his father he had
been called to preach the gospel The
father was astonished for up to that

thrash the grain that has gone to
the same profitelss grave in the cam

OF the money that paid for them?
How much human labor did it take
to create the 1850, 100000 of wealth
