As we observed these departments and their complete ness we were forced to say that the queen of Sheba when she visited Sol omon, The half has not been told
 We were impressed with the 300 or 400 boys and girls faces full Of smiles and hope, assembled in the chapel to greet us and to catch some inspiration from the men of the race in the world Addresses were deliver ed by Prof. J. F. Jones' and Dr. A. C.. Capers.
 For our people in Arkansas, espe- c'ally those in Hot s. rings, we want to thank the people of Hot Springs for that magnificent building which they have provided for uur boys and girls, and the teachers in charge We appreciate this We feel that you have good superintendent, and a fine school board There is ITO need for our people leaving Hot Springs. We have right nere all that could be desired for the training Of our boys and girls in the elementary branches and it is only necessary 10 go away for college training
 Ras. resenting the laymen Of the church, NJ. c. Washington, who has been mail carrier in Little Roch for a number of years, and member of the First Baptist church, delivered an address. We love our ministers" he said, and we want them to care for us Let the laymen have just a little more say in the affairs. Let us help you do the work financially and otherwise. Let us serve you. I plead
 with the young negro to do his duty We are trying to help you to reach the unreached We are trying to make some provisions for our young men
 who are going to the devil because they have no where else 10 go. We must even here in Hot Springs have some where for these young men who work in the hotels and other places and have a few hours of every day, to spend those few hours and keep them away from the sTnX holes.' J. F. Johnson, of Hot Springs, an other urominent layman made a short address. He made a special appeal
 for the young men of Hot Springs. He
 wanted that they should have the | life line before it is too late. He re minded the young negroes that they
 could not ead around the streets all night and work all day, He regretted that through careless and the abuse of health, the negroes had allowed
 SO many places to get away from them He recalled the time that al | most all the hotel walters in this
 country were negroes, and now there
 were only a few. stick to your jobs young men"

 mended for the efficient service ren- dered to the convention. The dele, gates have stopped in the homes | boarding houses and hotels of negroes i s..
