constructive Work Of Cooperative
League al. New Rochelle, N. Y.
By BRUCE GRIT"
New Rochelle, N. Y.-The New
Rochelle Cooperative Business league
is. entitled to great deal Of credit for
the work It has done and Is doing In
Westchester county, N. Y. In making
it possible for our people to secure
sanitary homes in desirable sections Of
New Rochelle and also In the county.
The league has been In existence a
little over seven years and owns a
number Of fine houses, with latest mod
ern improvements, all Of which are
occupied by our people.
League hall Is headquarters for most
Of the social, fraternal and religious
organizations among the colered people
in the county. 1t contains public
hall for social gatherings with kitchen,
dining room, check room, ladies' parlor
and smoking room for men. At q re-
cent meeting Of the board Of directors
each member Of the board agreed to
assist in extending the business Of the
organization and to complete the pay
ments Of League hall, the home Of the
organization. The league is helping
those members who are engaged In
business. among whom are several
aspiring merchants and two profes'
sional men.
These men all stand together and
pull together like the members Of one
family. II neighbor wishes to buy a
horse or wagon or house ora
stock Of goods to open up little bust
ness for himself the men. of the league
help and encourage him with their
personal or joint notes to secure the
money he needs. and they push his
business all they can. 1t is beautiful
spirit, typical Of the communal spirit
Of the colored man on his native heath.
It. is growing in New Rochelle. and
black men there are coming more and
more to see that 1t pays to stand
shoulder to shoulder and to help one
another to bear burdens.
The board Of directors Of the New
Rochelle Cooperative Business league
is one of the most harmonious bodies
Of men to be found anywhere In the
state Of New York. At their last meet
ing, held April l. Manager 8. ]. Davis
asked for $54 to pay certain petty bills,
and In less than ten minutes the board
turned over to him a little over $75.
The board consists of the following
members: w. J. Brown, president; e
Eckels, s. j. Davis (secretary Of the
league), J. Bullock, George Eckels, DR..
@. P. McClendon, ]. e. Bruce Crit"
Henry Davis, Henry Peel, James
Brown, ]. Thweet, s. ]. Crewes (secre.
tary Of the board), Samuel Craig, Rev.
M. A. Bradley and Eugene Harris. 1t
Is growing organization, and its con
tinued existence and activity show the
capacity of the Negro for sustained eff.
fort along business lines.

French Foreign Legion.

It is the boast Of the French Foreign
legion that it can provide men from
its own ranks to meet any contingen-
cy. Its commander once said his men
were capable not only Of winning a
war. but of writing its history. On
one occasion, when new barracks
was being erected. the legion ranks
supplied half a dozen qualified archi-
tects, and time and again on the bat
tlefleld, when the call has been for doc:
tors. the legionaires have stepped for
ward and acknowledged their medical
qualifications. Once. says tradition.
when no padre was available to con-
duct a burial. the commandant appeal
ed to the ranks. man stepped out
and saluted. He had been bishop.

Of the we'll known ministers of Phila
delphia and a leader in his denomina-
ton. He is modest. interesting, unas
suming and genial. He is universally
recognized as man Of worth by race
leaders and by influential white people.
DR.. Lee is a self made man. and his
struggle for success is an interesting
story.
Born in Hartford county, Md. April
20, 1864, he attended the schools Of his
native county in the winter season and
worked on farm during the remain,
der Of the year. At the age Of eight
cen he left home and went to Balti-
more to live. There he worked dur
ing the day and attended night school,
He left Baltimore in 1890 to try his
fortunes in Pittsburgh.
Believing that he had been called of
God to preach the gospel, he entered
Lincoln university in 1893. and after
taking two years special work in the
college department he entered the
theological department, graduating ih
1893. He was at once ordained and
became the supply pastor for the Madi-
son Street Presbyterian church In Bal
timore. He then took up the Sunday
school missionary work Of the state
Of Maryland. with headquarters in An
napolis. continuing in this position for
two years.
In the fall Of 1900 he came to Phila-
delphia to visit relatives and friends
and was invited to preach In the First
African Presbyterian church. All who
heard him were delighted with his
preaching and he was at once invited
to become the pulpit supply, the
church not being In position to call
pastor. In 1901 he began to supply
the church. continuing until June.
1902. when he was unanimously elect
ed pastor During his pastorate Of the
First African Presbyterian church the
property has been twice repaired at a
cost of $1,000 and a mortgage Of $1O.-
600 has been paid of. making the en-
tire property clear Of debt. The church
Is well organized. and more than 300
new members have been added.

church celebrated its one hundredth
anniversary. Rev. William Il. Roberts,

BIRMINGHAM TO BE HOST
OF SUNDAY SCHOOL FOLK.
Alabama Metropolis Gets Tenth Annual
Session of National Religious Body.

Birmingham, Ala. Assurances are
given here by the secretary Of the
Sunday school congress from Nash
Vile, Tenn, that several new innova-
tions will take place during the tenth
annual session Of that organization.
which is to convene in this city June
8. One of the attractive features will
be the Young Mems Christian Glee
club Of Shreveport, La. which Is per
haps one Of the most compact religious
singing organizations in the United
States.
While 1t Is not the first singing or
ganization that has agreed to visit the
congress at Birmingham this year, II
Is perhaps one Of the largest. The
club petitioned the congress officials to
be allowed to appear. The Rev. Gus
Williams is the president Of the glee
club.
The petition Of the club to be allow
ed to serve on the program Is signed
by city pastors of Shreveport, such as
Rev. A. III. Samuels, president Of the
Thirteenth District association; Rev.
]. M. Carter, Rev. ]. NJ. Harvey, L. Al.
len, Jr.. e. 8. Styles and Charles M.
Blounon, practicing attorney Of
Shreveport.
Another organization that has writ.
ten to be placed on the program Is the
Ebenezer quartet of Austin, Tex, This
quartet has gained distinction that
no other quartet Of ladies I'm the Unit
ed States has in doing religious work.
They have furnished music each year
for the st. John encampment. perhaps
the largest gathering Of religious state
workers In the United States.
The congress secretary. who was in
this city recently, declared that there
has never been as much interest In the
meeting as Is already evident and that
from his visit he has gained informa.
ton that Birmingham. will furnish the
necessary entertainment

Life Amid Deathlike Stiffness.

In the ralnless interior Of Australia
there Is "silence Of the grave" This
deathlike silence has a peculiarly de-
pressing effect. II two men are camp
ed and one of them goes to distant
township to get provisions while the
other remains behind to look after the
camp, The man who Is to remain says
to his friend in forcible. gold fields
language: "Now. Bill. don't be long
away. You know what kind OF place
this Is to live In by yourself" or words
to that effect If his mate IL away for

is afraid Of the sound Of his own
