PILGRIM psf CHURCH
ACQUIRES NEW CHURCH PROP
ERTY BY EFFORTS OF CHRIS.
TlAN WORKERS.
Considering the Strenuous War Times
and the High Cost of Living, This is
Financial Achievement Worthy Of
More Than Ordinary Consideration.

On March 20, 1916, Rey. B. N. Muir
rell, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church,
recommended to the church the ac-
QUESTION of some lots for new
church location The following rea-
sons were advanced for such move
ment: -.. "--
l. The present location has become
lnconvenient to the membership and
the people generally.
2. The building as located was too
large and difficult to maintain.
3. The present site has been in
cluded in plans for a state capitol an
prOach and eventually we will have to
Vacate. =,
After thorough discussion the
church adopted the recommendation
and authorized the officers to proceed
to carry them out
Before taking further action the Of
ficers of the church called in the pas
tors OF the Baptist churches and a.
few prominent business men and laid
before them our plans and asked their
advice. After a thorough investiga-
ton this meeting heartily endorsed
our action and promised their COOP
Grafton.
This meeting and it's results we're
reported to- the church and the pastor
was authorized to appoint a commit
tee to make an investigation and Sc
lect a desirable location. The COM
mlttee after thorough canvass
found that the property on the cor
ner of Central avenue and Grotto
street consisting of two lots and a
small church building was the most
desirable to be found and could be Sc
cured for $4,000 cash, and reported
these facts back to the church.

TOTAL 1855. -. 81 ,5l5.O5
/ This. with the amounts already
raised, $3.50, more than covered our
obligation and the money has been
paid and the deed turned over and
filed, adding at a conservative figure
$4,000 to the church property owned
by the colored churches of St. Paul.
Under present conditions we feel
that this was a remarkable effort and
we wish to thank the public who so
generously lent us their aid, espe-
cially our sister churches. -
To our many obligations to Rev.
Carter we must add credit for this
splendid achievement and we hope to
give some recognition in financial
way Sunday, September %, the Offer
ings on that date to be free will con-
tribution to him. .-..-
We also wish to recognize the SER
vice of our pastor, Rev. B. N. Murrell,
uYho OH 81 ~
be with us during this effort. His in
duence in building up the confidence
of the people of St. Paul both among
our. own people as we'll as the white
people and the fact that he was en-
gagged in the. patriotic service of prep
aration for serving his country were
strong factors in our success.
We are indebted to the editor ofsthis
paper for the publication of this his
tory of our achievement, who sug-
gested that it should be printed as an
inspiration for others to attempt to
accomplish great things.
In closing we wish to say that we
trust and believe that God led us in
this whole movement and we hope
that this new location may be the GEN.
ter of Christian activity through all
time.
1t is not the purpose of the church
to abandon our present location at
this time: We shall continue to wor-
ship in the old church until such time
as it can be disposed of to advantage
with religious services held occa-
sionally in the new location.

With membership of about 200 and
no monies on hand the proposition
looked so hopeless we could not get
the members; out to even consider it,
ana nnally urged on by Rev. Murrell at
a meeting held February 7, 1877, we
passed motion to buy the property
with only fifteen members present.
The owners allowed us to pay down
$500, the balance to be paid September
l, 1917 This $500 was raised as fol-
lows: Ladies' Aid Society, $1OO; So
cial and Literary Society, $50: Sun
day School, $100, and the balance of
$40 by members advancing money on
their dues. 49,
We now faced the problem of rails
ing Sits in six months, SIS having
been added as the cost Of the church
benches. On February Is meeting
was held and an organization formed
to raise this amount. Little was done
at this time, however, as the church
turned all it's resources, spiritual and
financial, to the promotion Of the
Union Revival held during the month
OF May, 1917. Emerging from these
great meetings and before we could
organize the results and get the
church in working order, our pastor,
Rev. Murrell, announced that he had
applied for commission as chaplain,
had been accepted into the officers
training camp, and been ordered to re-
port June 81 Mr.. Murrell offered to
tender his resignation but the church
refused to receive it and granted him
leave of absence for three months. It
had been arranged to end the finan-
cial effort on June "a. Without a
leader, however, very little was done
and the results netted only $3.50.
The situation at this time looked
hopeless. Depending on different
preachers to fill the pulpit each Sun
: day, we found it difficult to keep up
interest enough to meet even current
expenses. -. -,
l. In this discouraging situation our
minds turned to a beloved pastor who
had served us in the past, and who
had led us out of many financial diff
ficulties-Rev. w. D. Carter, of Se-
attic, Wash. Fhe mention of his name
brought new hope and confidence and
the officers of the church Immediately
entered into negotiations with DR..
Carter to secure his services, notify
ing Rev. Murrell at Des Moines of our
plans.
Rev. Murrell wrote giving his hearty
approval and expressing regret at his
inability to assist further than to re-
port 500 promised him in case the
whole amount was raised.
On Sunday morning, September 9,
Rev w. D. Carter arrived in ST. Paul,
almost exhausted from three days
stay at the National Baptist Conven.
ton and a 36-hour trip from Musco.
gee, Okla, part of which had to be
made in day coach.
After a brief consultation with the
officers he found he had to face the
following conditions: 1,400 had to be
raised by September Is, the owners
having given an extension of time to
j that date. The forces of the church
were not organized for work. The
members were willing but unable tc
give and with war loans, Red Cross
funds, Boy Scouts canvass and the
High Cost of Living" condition, il
seemed an inopportune time to solicit
the public.
Rev. Carter preached short but
sforceful sermon in which he predicted
success, called upon the members tt

Minneapolis Organization
Demands Immediate Re-
lief of Situation.

Minneapolis, July I3.-The serious
ness of the coal shortage situation in
the northwest was set forth by the
Minneapolis Civic and Commerce As
sociation today in kilograms to Presi-
dent Wilson, Howard Elliott of the
Council of National Defense, and Min
nesota senators and representatives
with the appeal that immediate action
be forthcoming from Washington
The kilograms represent the initial
action of a movement expected to be
followed out by commercial bodies of
Minnesota, North and South Dakota,
and Montana, to seek action to avert
crisis in the coal situation The
Civic and Commerce Association, 1t
was announced today, will cooperate
with other. commercial bodies. includ-
ing the st. Paul association to obtain
relief.
Much suffering in Minnesota and
the Dakotas is inevitable during the
winter approaching unless coal ship
ments to the docks in Duluth and
Superior are largely increased immedi-
ately," says the telegra'0 sent today
by A. M. Sheldon, president of the as
sociation.
.'The present rate of shipments will
result in calamity throughout the
adjoining northwest states and a
paralysis of industries essential to war
activities, which cannot. be avoided be-
cause an all-rail moYement Of eastern

Not Unanimous.

Valley City, N. D., July 13.-With
A. c. Townley, State Commissioner of
Agriculture Hagan and Legislator N.
E. Whipple talking in favor Of the
proposed agreement between the Nom
partisan league and the Agricultural
Workers organization of the I. w. W.,
the $50 farmers who assembled at the
ratification" meeting here voted
heavily, almost unanimously, against
the ratification.
Bismarck, N. D., July 13.-Non-
partisan league members are not un-
animous in approval of the proposed
ers Union of the I. W. w. to supply
farm labor in North Dakota, said D..
G. Coates, general manager of the
Nonpartisan league, prior to the rati-
hcation meeting held here.
''It is quite natural there should be
opposition" said Mr.. Coates. 1.-The
proposition is new and no effort is be-
ing made to persuade farmers to ac-
cept 1t. The agreement is submitted
on it's merits. If it does not meet the
favor of the majority of the delegates
at the ratification meetings it will be
dropped. If 1t is ratified by the dele
of the entire league membership will
be taken and only when we find a
great majority of league members
want it will we enter into a contract.
1.-THE terms of the agreement" said
Coates. ''are much more liberal than
the press has represented. In a gen.
eral way, the union asks minimum
wage of 81 for ten hours a day and a
certain standard of working condi-
tions. 1 have looked into the union
and it seems to be on much better
basis than heretofore"

'TRYS To END
SENATETANGLE
ON FOOD Bill
Wilson Seeking Way to
Straighten out Situation
that Has Delayed Bill.

Washington, July 13.-President
Wilson Is today seeking a way to
straighten out the tangled legislative
situation in the senate that has held
up food control legislation there.
The presidents conclusions on the
subject will be reported to senate
leaders before July 21, when vote
is to be taken on the food bill, and
upon his conclusions apparently rests
to a great extent the form the legis-
lation is to take.
Meanwhile the president is giving
detailed study to the house bill as
amended and pending in the senate
and the greatly restricted substitute
framed by Senator Gore as a COM
promise.
The president, it is said, was in
formed that the pending bill as amend
ed to extend government control over
iron, steel, cotton and other products
in addition. to food and fuel would
have to be changed if it is to be put
through the senate.
AS result, the leaders were al
agreed today that the revised bill will
deal primarily with food stuffs an6
fuel, with steel, iron and other prod
ucts stricken out.
