EMPIRE FRIENDLY SHELTER
FOR GIRLS GAINS FRIENDS
General eaIIinston Booth Speaks For
Worthy New York Institution.

New York. = General Ballington
Booth was the chief speaker at the
January meeting Of the Empire
Friendly Shelter For Girls. held at the
headquarters in this city. For some
time both the general and Mrs Booth
have taken keen interest in the work
and have given it material assistance
whenever it was necessary.
In the summer Of 1915. when the
development of the institution was
hindered in one way or another, the
announcement that Mrs. Booth would
speak for the cause brought together
q gathering Of over 1900 persons. So
strong was Mrs. Booths appeal in be-
half of womanhood and so fervently
did she appeal for sympathy and sup
port for the institution that good col
lection was taken up at the close OF
the meeting
The work has grown to point Of
more than passing recognition as a
social factor, and the number Of girls
to be cared for are demonstrating
their desire for advancement. The need
the various charitable organizations.
General Booth was shown through the
shelter by the superintendent, Miss
Grace P. Campbell. and the president,
Mrs. NJ. c. Lawton. before leaving this
meeting.
He expressed himself as being highly
pleased both with the home and its
management He told of the many
social activities in which he is engaged
and spoke especially of the homes for
self respecting, wage earning boys and
girls. These two institutions, he said.
were particularly near to him. One
of the accomplishments o. the meeting
was the formation OF an advisory
board Of representative and influential
men and women. with General Booth
as chairman.
1t was the consensus of opinion of
all present that the influence and CO.
operation of General Booth. together
with those associated with him. will
mean a step far in advance for the in
stitution. At present there are fifteen
girls in the home and seven or eight
infants.
Inc uomeSuc WORK throughout the
home is done by the inmates and in a
most faultless manner. Calls are fire.
quently made for help from the shelter,
and wherever they obtain employment
they give general satisfaction. Cases
from the various courts are turned
over to the home and are satisfactorily
disposed Of Girls from Brooklyn,
Manhattan and vicinity as well as New
Jersey are received into the home.
On the board of management are

gram of heavy studies. and his teach
ers encouraged him in his efforts. He
remained in the public school until he
had finished the prescribed course of
study. During his preparation to en-
ter college his mother died, and it be-
came necessary for young English to
go TO work in order to help In the sup
port Of his sisters and brothers, who
We're left In his care. A younger sis
ter was placed by him in Selma uni
versity, where she remained until she
had completed the course In the
meantime Mr.. English employed pri-
vate teachers and continued to study
himself, making wonderful progress.
While working on a farm in 1880 he
was converted and joined the Baptist
church, where he took an active part
in the church and Sunday school work.
He filed every office In the church.
such as sexton. superintendent of Sun
day school. teacher, deacon. clerk and
pastor. All of this was but preparing
him for his future work in the minis
try.
Ii was while working on the farm
one day in 1899 that he felt that he
was called to take up the work Of the
gospel ministry. and while for long
time he considered that 1t was not the
thing for him to do. yet he could not
divorce the thought from his mind. He
tried to get rid of the idea Of preaching
by engaging In other work, but could
not. Finally he informed his pastor OF
his intention to enter the ministry and
soon afterward preached his first ser
mon. 1t was Il great sermon. and he
soon received authority from the church
to preach.
Eight months after his call TO the
ministry he was called to a church in
Mobile. Ala. with Il membership of
about $50. After pastorins the church
for one year he found two other
churches wanting him in the same city.
so he advised them all to unite into one
large church and named 1t the Della
ware Street Baptist church of Mobile.
OF which he is still minister. The mem
berShip Of this church is now nearly
thousand and continues to increase un-
der his leadership. He has charge of
the Baptist church In Pascagoula.
Miss. and one In Bay Minette. The
clergymen OF Mobile and vicinity have
recognized his worth to the race and
denomination and have elected him to
the position OF moderator of the Mobile
Sunlight Baptist association. which is
one OF the largest in the state. He was
elected to the position six years ago.
and it has been on the increase in pop
ularity and influence among the people
ever since.

count for Advancement In his studies.
while 1t was his desire to have a good
education, yet he had desire to be
useful in life. He not only trained his
mind In the common school and college
branches, but became a first class
practical brick mason. and when he fln-
ished school he followed his trade for
. long time.
Being a man well trained. he soon be-
came the labor leader In this section Of
majority. twenty-one years. he was the
guide Of 500 men. who regarded his
opinion and respected his leadership
He brought to them increase in wages
and recognition that they had never
had before. The capitalists of New
Orleans were always ready and will
ing to confer with this young man.
The fact that he was at the head Of
such large number OF men brought
him into prominence: hence he became
a political leader In his early life. He
was connected with the Republican
party. While he was leader in the
Thirteenth ward, yet his worth spread
throughout the state and all over the
country.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Brooks felt
called to the ministry. He was already
a member of st. Peters A. NJ f
church. He had developed as q class
leader. worker in the Sunday school.
a trustee, a steward. and 1t is said Of
him that he at one time was the sex
ton Of the church, thereby filing every
position in the church. In the Sunday
school while acting as superintendent
he was loved by all the children. and
his was regarded as the leading school
in the city OF New Orleans.
1t was under Presiding Elder Charles
Augustus and Bishop ]. II. Armstrong
that he entered the active ministry in
that he was admitted to membership
In the annual conference on trial and
went step by step until he was ordain-
ed elder by Bishop James Anderson
Handy OF Baltimore, starting out In
the mission work, then to circuits Of
the churches. Of which he has pastored
some OF the leading charges in the
conference. His worth was recognized
and. being kind to all persons. he won
many friends. Brave and fearless. ne
was ever ready to fight the battles OF
the mission preacher as he is today.
and this won for him a warm place In
the hearts Of the people.
Just as soon as he was In the con.
ference long enough he was sent as n
delegate to the general conference. and
~ u-... .rxr
Of his delegation. He believes In prog
ress among the ministers. also believes
In the young man making his place In
the church and state. The louisiana
conference not only elected him at the
head Of the delegation. but is askk..:

WASHINGTON, May 11.-War on
Frederick B. Lynchs candidacy. for
the Craftsmanship OF the Democratic
National committee is under way.
Lynch Is practically the only man
mentioned thus far as successor
to William F. McCombs.
The war on Lynch, 1t appears, Is a

leaders expect to punish the Min,

They declare that at the time when
Champ Clark's prospects were in

We hear lot about South America,

Well, II you do not, II Is not sur

But the Central and South Amer.

but would carefully watch and help
the small ones.
My guess Is that the Monroe doc
trine will ultimately work out the
same way, As years 60 on. we
shall interfere less and less with
those great big brothers far away
In South America. such as Argen.
tina Brazil AMI Chile.
On the other hand. from now on
we shall give more and more at
tention 10 our smaller brothers near
home. such as Panama, Costa Rica
Nicaragrs. Honduras. Salvador and
Guatama'a.
My study of the Monroe doctrin
leads me to believe that hencefort
we shall take a much greater inter

Tie are many reasons for thi

Tn chief reason is that the goldel
