Skin foods and face creams and

that--it depends on health. In most
cases the basis Of health and the
cause OF sickness can be traced to
the action OF the bowels.

IMPORTANT COMING EVENT
FOR The EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Denomination to Hold TrisnniaI Con-
vsntion at st. Louis, Oct. 8.

Many questions of farreaching i'm
portance to the Protestant Episcopal
church and the churches of that de-
nomination among the cOlored people
Of the United States will come up for
6nal adjustment at the triennial meet
Ing of that body, which is to be held
In st. Louis in October. One Of the
leading topics for discussion and set
tlement is that Of electing bishop or
bishops to preside over the churches
Of the denomination among the colored
people. Upon this question the demon,
lnation is seriously divided.
The report Of the joint commission
which was appointed three years ago
will present minority report as well
as the majority report to the conven
ton. The minority report. criticising
the attitude expressed toward the Ne
gro in the majority report of the joint
commission, has been signed by FIVE
persons. The majority report recon-
mends that the minority report be re-
jected.
The majority report recommends
that separate racial district for the
colored people Of the south be estab-
lisl.sd.. relieving bishops. of southern
dioceses of any further jurisdiction
over the thousands Of Negro members
Of the Protestant Episcopal church and
instead that colored bishop at large
be elected and consecrated.
The minority report strongly urges
that no such action be taken and recon-
mends instead that some southern do
cese shall soon take advantage Of its
present right. according to the canons
Of the Episcopal church, to elect col
ored suffragan bishop to serve under
the white bishop Of the diocese.
Two bishops. two rectors and one
layman signed the minority report.
One Of the rectors Is the Rev. DR.. Er.
nest M. Stires Of st. Thomas church.

The bishops. who are both from the
south, are the Right Rev. William A.

The second rector is the Rev. c. Brax-
ton Bryan Of Petersburg. Va. The lay
man is Joseph Packard.

Star for Missouri and Jurisdiction Mrs.
Haley made an unprecedented record
by covering the remotest parts Of the
jurisdiction, which extends through
Oregon, Montana and Nebraska and
into New Mexico. Besides in the above
named order, she has labored faithful
ly In church, Sunday school and the
Allen Christian Endeavor league, In
which she was highly successful.
While Mrs. Haley has been active in
many good movements for human bet
terment for the past twenty years, 1t
seems that she Is now more anxious to
serve than ever before. In her new
field she will have the opportunity Of
her life to reach the unreached women
Of the race and show to them the ben
e1ts Of being organized.
Outside Of purely racial movements
Mrs. Haley bears the pround distinc-
tion Of being the leader Of the woman
suffrage movement in Missouri among
the colored women. She Is also the
first woman Of our race. and the only
one, to hold membership In the state
commission Of Missouri appointed by
former Governor Hadley to select and
purchase site upon which to erect a
building now known as the State In

MINNEAPOLIS PASTOR OF
METHODIST CHURCH WANTS
NEGRO IN FOLD.
The Rev. Gilbert Stansell Favors
Union With Colored Congregations.

The Methodist Episcopal church
cannot consistently cast off its Negro
membership, according to the Rev
Gilbert Stansell, associate pastor oi
the Hennepin Avenue Methodist
Episcopal church, in an address al
the thirteenth session of the North
ern German conference of the church
which opened last night at the Gen.
trail German Methodist Episcopal
church.
"The Progressive Emancipation of
the American Negro" was the title
of Doctor, Stansell's address, in which
he advocated a policy contrary to the
one offered by the Methodist Church
South as basis for union between
them and the Northern branch.
"The price asked is more than the
union would be worth to u.s." Doctor
Stansell declared. 1--WE cannot now
consistently cast aside our Negro
membership after all the missionary
work we have done among them. Too
much money has been spent and too
many lives have been devoted to up
building and educating the American
Negroes for US to consider such a
proposition.
"The Negro members are an asset
to the church. 1t is through them
that we are going to learn to sing
again. That aft has been lost among
us, but is an essential part of the
Negroes religion, and one that he
can still teach us. Aside from that,

EDUCATING YOUNG FARMERS.
How the Government Aids Agricultural
Colleges In the South.

1oW tho government Aios Agricultural
Colleges In the South.
The movement actively started by
the United States department Of agri-
culture to cooperate with the various
state colleges In the south in organiz-
I ing farm makers clubs for the colored
boys and girls in the rural districts
bids fair to become an important factor
In racial thrift. The movement has
grown rapidly and has been operated
successfully In Virginia. Florida, Mis-.
sissippi and North Carolina the past
year.
The main object of these clubs Is to
encourage our people, particularly In
the cotton sections, to raise some food
instead Of devOting their entire atten.
ton to single crop. In the clubs for
boys the typical plan Is to encourage
and help the members to use an acre.
One-half Of which is devoted to corn,
one-fourth to potatoes and one fourth
to peanuts.
This teaches desirable rotation and
at the same time furnishes three food
products for human consumption and
two that are useful for cattle or hogs.
The girl members Of these clubs re-
ceive practical instruction in garden
ing, canning. cooking and housekeep-
ing.
According to recent reports. the coun.
ty superintendents Of schools and
teachers Of elementary schools are sup
porting the work actively, and state
agricultural colleges and the technical
schools established for the race are &C.
tive co-operators In the larger phases
of the work.
