ZIoN'S GOLDEN JUBILEE.

Were the psalmist existing in these
days he surely would add to his
graphic description of the House of
the Lord when he said-"How Ami
able are Thy Tabernacles, o Lord God
of Hosts" in beholding the interior of
Zion Baptist church, Twenty-fourth
avenue and Ogden street last week in
the celebration of Fifty Years of Ser
vice in the upbuilding of the cause of
Christianity and the dissemination of
the gospel of the MAN of men, Who
in His teachings to his followers
urged the practical application of
Christianity to every race, every cline
and every tongue. The display of the
wonderful treasures hidden in the
depths of Negro heart and soul and
mind were witnessed in the artistry
that adorned the walls of the numer-
GUS compartments assigned the exhib-
itors. The painters brush, the chem
lists laboratory, the dentists painless
instruments, the medical modern surgi-
cal apparatus, relieved by the result
OF the needle-woman in the most
fashionable articles produced from
cloth with wonderful artistic designs
all these and others combined to
prove without doubt the wonders of
the Creator in giving man to the
world and confirmation to the high
est compliment given Him when
David said, Man is fearfully and
wonderfully made
The jubilee closes tomorrow, the
26th inst, with Rev. E. w. Moore of
Columbus, Ohio, former pastor of Zion,
officiating.
Rev. DR.. John E. Ford of Jackson
vile, Fla, who has labored for num-
Der of years at this church opened the
exercises last Sunday. Every item of

success says Rev. D. E. Over, who

DEATH OF JOHN T. BRADY.

News was received in this city last
Monday of the death of John T. Brady,
aged 80, at Colorado Springs. He was
the son of Henry Brady, of 211S
Race street, Denver, Colo, and al
though he was in poor health for a
few weeks, yet his death was quite a
shock to the community. During Mr..
Brady's lifetime he served faithfully
III the employment of the Denver Gas
and Electric Company and like his
father made a great number of friends
not only in Denver but also in the
state. The Colorado Statesman offers
its deepest sympathy to the parents
and other relatives of the deceased,
having been associated with his father
for many years in the business and
political life of Colorado, and can
truly affirm Mr.. Brady's assistance
and recognition of the members of the
Negro race.

LOVE THAT CoNoUERs ALL
Christian Duty Becomes True Pleas.
ure When He Feels the Divine
Charity.

1t is not difficult for any of us to
love those toward whom we feel
drawn. There is nothing of the d.
vine charity in this. The Divine char
ity bids US love those whom we find to
be naturally unlovable. Probably most
people know some one whom they find
it hard to love, someone who has in.
jured them, who has made himself dis
agreeable, who is a successful rival,
who has an unpleasant manner. Do
you know any such? Have you an
unkind feeling towards them? Should
you be secretly pleased to hear that
something Ill has befallen them? If
so, reflect that God has given them to
you in order that you may have an op-
portunity of cultivating this Divine
gift of charity. Seek opportunities Of
doing acts of kindness to such persons.
Speak kindly about them when their
acts or characters are discussed. If
1t is in your power to promote their
interests, do so. If no such opportuni-
ties are afforded you, learn to pray for
them. You cannot long dislike a per-
son whose name is daily in your pray
ers. If you persevere in such a course
you will find that your mind is under
going a change, even a renewal. No
thing is so likely to make us love 9TH
ers as the endeavor to do them a kind
ness.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

An enormous crowd was present last
Sunday afternoon to listen to the adj
/ dress delivered by the Rev. Dr. Ford
of Jacksonville, Fla, who spoke on the
significance of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association to the individual life
of the community. DR.. Ford, who is at
tending the Golden Jubilee of Zion
Church, and who had preached at Zion
in he morning, has thousands of
friends in the city, and scores of them
came out to hear him.
DR.. Ford told his audience that the
Y. M. c. A. stood for everything that
was best in the life of the individual.
There is no place like it, he said, for
the young man who wants to make the
most of himself, who wants to rise
above the comomn level of the life
around him. A mother worries very
little about her absent boy if she
knows that he is a frequenter of the
Y. M. c. A. 1t is also a great thing
for travelling man. He never wor-
ries about his stopping place if he can
find a room in the Association. He said
the Y. M. C. A. is the colored mans ho-
tel-the best he has.
Everybody is getting ready for the
football game which it to be played be-
tween our team and the |. A. c..

ing afternoon at o'clock, and for the
concert and pipe organ recital which
will come off at Shorter Church on
Dec. Z. A great time is expected at
each event.
great time is anticipated at the
union meeting of the Y. M C. A and
Y. w. c. A. next Sunday afternoon at
$3.50 O'Clock at the Zion Baptist
Church. Judge James A. Killian of
the State Supreme Court will be the
speaker. 1t is also expected that the
Rev. E. w. Moore, who comes this week
to deliver the Jubilee sermon of Zion,
will also speak. DR.. Moore is man of
unusual ability, and all should hear
him. The boys will also meet with
them.
