number of white friends of the late
educator were present, including Miss
Grace T. Walker, secretary to the Nc.
Cormicks.
For the past forty-one years this in
stitution has been an important factor
in racial development, and it's former
standard is kept up by the new presi-
dent, Professor Walter s. Buchanan
The school was made famous by the
late Mr.. Councill. He put his life and
all of his money into the institution
and preached the doctrine Of peace and
good will, and upheld the idea Of in
dustriaI as we'll as college education
His principles, in all essentials, en-
braced those things that represented
the greatest good for the country
through an amicable adjustment Of all
race matters.
Professor Walter s. Buchanan. who
is now the president Of Normal, having
been elected at the death of President
Councill, Is representative Of the
younger men and advanced thought
and ideas which he is putting into
Normal and making 1t one Of the great
est institutions in the south. This
young man Is one of the best trained
men Of his race and has been educated
to his people and not away from them
He Is perhaps the youngest presi
dent of an A. and M. college in the
country, but he is making good and
lifting up the young people. His own
life and struggles are inspirations to
them. He is product Of Tuskegee
institute. 1t was at Tuskegee that
he got his foundation, being inspired
by the late Booker T. Washington. to
be and do something worth while. He
got the finishing touches Of his edu-
cation at Lloyd Training school. Bos'
ton, and ut Harvard university.
Coming out of school, he accepted
the position as southern agent for
Tuskegee institute. and from there
was elected president Of an industrial
school at Corona, Ala, where he did
a great big work. When President
Council died Professor Buchanan was
selected out of many applicants for
the position of president Of the A. and
M. college. although there were many
men older than he who had more ex-
perience. but the board Of control,
composed Of southern white men, saw
I'm Mr.. Buchanan the man needed for
the place.
Like his predecessor, President
Buchanan Is thoroughly welded to the
industrial idea and Is struggling to
make Normal stand more for industrial
education than ever before and at the
.ame time for higher education. for
there were FIVE to graduate from the
college department this year Theoret

WHITMAN PROVIDES FOR
REGIMENT OF COLORED MEN
Race to Enter National Guard on New
York Governors Order.

New York.-For the past five years
or more a large number Of colored
citizens of this city have been agitat-
ing for the formation of a regiment in
the national guard Of the state. Com
panies have been formed and drilled
to almost perfection in military tactics
and discipline by Colonel Charles w.
Fillmore. The movement was strongly
backed by most Of our weekly papers
here, but received setback from
time to time Colonel Fillmore has
been the most persistent advocate Of
the regiment idea and has stuck to
his guns
The hearts of all who favor the
movement were gladdened by the
news from Albany, through the daily
papers, and from Governor Charles s.
Whitman himself. who made the an
nouncement at Manhattan Casino on
the evening Of May 25 that the COVER
nor had signed an order for the forma-
tion Of a regiment Of colored men for
the national guard Of the state.

itary authorities. Lieutenant Colonel

other medical officers of the militia
will have charge Of examining appli.
cants for enlistment In the regiment.
As the applicants come forward one
company will be organized and officers
detailed to drill the men. The object
will be to organize model company.
and it Is believed that there are enough
men in this city who have had service
In the four colored regiments in the
army to make this unit one Of the best
In the state.
As stated above, the struggle Of the
race to enter the national guard began
some five years ago. A bill authorizing
the organization Of Negro command
in this state passed both houses during
the session Of the 1911 legislature, but
dropped out Of sight. In 1912 a peti
ton was sent to Governor Dix with a
muster roll Of provisional regiment
consisting of thousand men. signal
and hospital corps and twelve uniform.
ed companies asking for incorporation
in the national guard. but no further
action was taken In the matter. In
1913 the legislature passed bill for a
Negro regiment. with Negro officers
and Governor Sulzer signed the meas

officers. Although several colored men
were eligible, not enough could pass
the examinations to be officers in the
regiment It was suggested that white
officers be provided for the regiment.
but this was not at all satisfactory to
the colored people, and the movement
was again halted.

will be one of the joys of the glory
land.
Before our eyes, although we have
been sinfully Indifferent to it, has
been enacted one of the great expert
ences of witness-bearing and martyr
dom. Armenias sufferings for the
sake of the Name deserve to be writ
ten as q supplement to the present
lesson. All the forms Of persecution
enumerated in the Book of the He
brews, and then others still more
dreadful, have been endured by the
whole Armenian nation, with more
than half a million martyrdoms to its
credit within the past year.
Accepting the Evidence
A familiar and oft misunderstood
passage occurs in this Sunday school
lesson. In our Bibles it begins a
new chapter; but very wisely the
lesson committee incorporates 1t in
the same paragraph with the preced-
ing chapter. After reciting the long
roll of heroes of faith and their
achievements and characteristics the
writer draws this conclusion:
Wherefore, seeing we also are
compassed about with so great a
cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside
every weight and the sin which doth
so easily beset us"-the sin of unbe-
lief-"and let us run with patience
the race that is set before us, looking
unto Jesus, the author and finisher
of our faith
Millions of readers have assumed
that the "witnesses' are the persons
who are looking at us, those among
whom we live. On the contrary. The
word is used in it's legal sense of
those who bear testimony. The wit
nesse who are to be taken into account
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-03-10

are not our neighbors, but this long
line of testifiers enumerated in the
preceding chapter These are the per-
sons whose testimony we are asked to
accept. They bear witness to the su-
premacy and power of faith. The ap-
peal Is to the reasonable mind that
is willing to accept proof. Here are
a notable company of men and wo-
men, historical characters, who found
1t victorious.
The idea will bear ampliflcation.
There is all the contrast in the world
between the real meaning of this
familiar passage and the way It is
often misunderstood. We take too
greatly into consideration the opin-
ions of those nearest us. We are
afraid of what they say" Mrs.
Grundy is queen of the world Fear
of popular ridicule and disfavor is
the animating motive of many. We
may be sure that the Bible would
never appeal to so ignorable a prin-
ciple. Faith is not to be grounded
on any popular verdict. Instead, the
Book of Hebrews turns the readers
thoughts back to the oldest Scrip
lures. Faith comes by
the Word of God" A primary lesson
of the present study is that faith is to
be found and fortified in the Scrip
lures themselves.

PUT STOMACH IN
FINE CONDITION.
Says Indigestion Results From
An Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says a noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by Hyper
acidity, meaning, there is an excess of
-hydrochloric acid in the stomach
which prevents complete digestion
and starts food fermentation. Thus
everything eaten sours in the stomach
much like garbage sours in can,
forming acrid fluids and gases which
initiate the stomach like a toy balloon.
Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery
in the chest, we belch up gas, we
eructate sour food or have heartburn,
tlatulence, water-brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast and drink
while it is effervescing and further
more, to continue this for a week.
While relief follows the first dose. it
is important to neutralize the acidity,
remove the gas-making mass, start
the liver, stimulate the kidneys and
thus promote a free flow of pure di-
.gestive juices.
Jads Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid OF grapes and
lemon juice. combined with lithia and
sodium phosphate. This harmless
salts is used by thousands of people
for stomach trouble with excellent re-
suits.

Vision and Victory

Faith is a force. This is clear. if
anything is from this great New
Testament passage. They who see
the invisible conquer the visible.
Spiritual qualities give a person "the
strength of ten" Where there is
no vision the people perish" Is it
not manifest to all observing persons
ed to-day by nations is the prepared
ness of the seeing heart? Once let
the spiritual impulses OF the people
be stirred deeply, so that they may
perceive the real nature of the ma
tional problems which this new day
has brought. and they will inevit-
ably do whatever else is necessary
to be done. Lord, increase our
faith" and our works will then take
care of themselves.
When the Christian Church has
been lowest in estate and highest in
faith she has had most power in the
world. Her days of greatest weak
ness have been when she has trust
ed most of her temporal power and
material wealth. The martyr church
has always been a mighty church.
Out of weakness she has been made
strong by faith. When filed with
faith and empty of goods the church
has gone everywhere conquering.
Faith foils failure.
Like so much of the Bible, this
eleventh chapter of Hebrews is left
unfinished. The roll of faiths
heroes was called only down to the
date of writing. 1t has been added to

through all the centuries since. This

ginner and the perfecter of faith.
