The St. Paul A. NJ. f. church con.
gregation was startled last Sunday
night by the peculiar actions of a
well dressed lady who sat on the steps
and was passed by all who entered
the church, but spoke to no one She
did not worship with the members
and the fact that she sat on the church
steps was lost sight of, but when Rev.
Harris extended al invitation to those
who had a desire to join she entered
the church and came slowly up the
aisle, talking softly, her arm out,
stretched, and turning around with a
waltz movement crossed the church,
went to the other aisle and when half
way turned and approached the pas.
tor, extended her hand and said:
Pray for me that l may get wisdom
and strength, fro | need them" and
went down the aisle with the same
movement, out the door and into a
pouring rain. She was a stranger to
the members and her actions natural
ly caused comment. The sudden
death of Mr.. Stith in Spring Garden
last Tuesday night, May 20. was a
shock to all. He came from work In
apparent health, retired about IL
o'clock, but an hour after was strick-
en- with apoplexy of the brain from
which he died between II and l
o'clock. He leaves three brothers, two
sisters, a wife and five children, and
a mother to mourn his death. Mrs.
Stith has been i'll for some time and
at the time OF her husbands funeral
was unable to leave the house. About
ten members and their pastor, Broth.
er Menenger of the Minimize Mission

Mr.. Stith May 29. Mr.. Stith was a
Christian gentleman and was well
thought of by both white and colored

from the text Because | lived, we

His theme was 1.-THE Church as a HUI

he spoke of how it need not be a fail
ure If each would perform his duty
toward the church, contribute freely
without having to be begged for fl
nance and how the solemnity of a
service may not be marred by using
the church as an advertising medium
Rev Harris is doing a good work in
Argentine and next Sunday will have
a rally to improve the church. He
asked for $27 on May Fl with which
to have a retaining wall built to keep
the water from running in the base
ment, and the members responded to
the request and as a result the wall
is built and paid for. Little Mar

TEN REASONS WHY THE N. N. 3,
L. SHOULD BE WELCOMED.
No. z.
By R IDA NJ. BECKS.

By MRS. IDA VI. BECKS.
A great many persons have the
wrong impression of people that are
engaged in a successful business. They
accuse them of having the "big head"
and that they think themselves bet
ter than others farther down; that
they speak of themselves as big 1"
and of the less fortunate as little
you" The members of the n. N. B.
League are men and women that re-
spect all people that respect them
selves regardless of color, looks or
wealth. They are cognizant of the
fact that we are dependent creatures
and our success in business has been
largely due to the patronage of the
poorer classes. II is said by a friend
of u late president, DR.. Booker T.
Washington, that the poorest stu
dents in Tuskegee could oftener get
a conference with DR.. Washington
than the more fortunate ones" He
had great sympathy for the man far
therest down."
That same spirit he has impaired to
the members Of the Business League
so much so that the humblest citizen
OF Kansas City may feel at home with
this great organization that is to come
to us in August.

We know that every foot of prog
ress made by the Negro has been
fought over; but see how the scene
of battle has shifted. Two hundred
years ago the fight was as to whether
or not he was really a human being
with all the attributes of a human
heart and soul. A hundred years ago
it was as to whether or not he had
sufficient gray matter in his brain to
master the rudiments of learning.
FIFTY years ago it was over his right
to be a free man. Today 1t is over
his admission to full membership in
the body social and polite. All the
former battles have been won; then
what reason Is there to suppose that
we'shall not win the n being fought
today or whatever others there may
yet be TO fight?
The Negro must work; that is, he
must keep up tireless efforts to de-
yelop himself along every line. He
must fight; that is, he must protest
against wrongs. ond must claim his
rights and not let up until he gets
them. And he must have faith in
himself. Then he can not fail.

its kind on 18th street. A

Everything that can be OBJ
tanned at the big first-class
markets downtown can be
found here at a cheaper rate
for the reason that we are
out of the high rent district.
Our berries, fruits and vege-
tables are received FRESH
every day. Our meats are of
the choicest selections of the
standard brands. Our fish
and poultry are unlimited
and the best on the market.
And in fact all our goods are
ABSOLUTELY GUARAN-
