is it needful He further states that
money, wealth and power cannot stop
the European war; nothing but the re-
ligion of the Lord Jesus Christ can
stop it Where religion is there can
be no strife, envy or prejudice. Reli-
gion is needful to the fathers, mothers
and guardians of families also, children

Upon accepting charge OF affairs DR..
Ellington viewed the situation. He
called his officers together and told
them that in view of the fact that
Nashville was a business and cduca-
tional center thousands of people and
students would ISL the city annually
ant the good people of Nashville
needed more beautiful house Of
worship. The pas,pr, officers and
members then joined hands, and re-
pairs to the amount of 81 200 were
done at once, and the first Sunday in
March the happy congregation re-
entered the main auditorium of the
Church, after an absence of a few
Sundays. Since that time, $1,S40
has been raised, and more than
81 900 has been applied to the repair
debt, exclusive of pastors salary
and other incidental expenses.
Too much cannot be said compli-
mentary of the business ability of
Rev. Dr. Ellington. Not only is he
a scholar, holding an A. B. degree
from Fisk University, but he is the
only Negro in the world holding
membership with the International
Sunday School Lesson Committee. He
is every whit the peoples man, he
appeals easily to both men and
women, and is known everywhere as
the young peoples pastor" Regard
less to his unassuming disposition, he
has a peculiar character that is en-
tirely fascinating and hardly person
is led to the sacred altar in Nashville
but what he is not in some way called
upon, and regardless to denomina-
ton, he has the last, and almost the
first say in the sad funeral rites.
During the State Convention in
Smyrna, the pastor of the white Bap-
fist church of that town invited him
to come up and preach to his congre-
grafton. Within twentyfour hours
he had called his people together, and
DR.. Ellington accompanied by dozen
or more singers, and large number
of the visiting delegates proceeded to
satisfy the wishes of his white
friends. BY o'clock sharp, the main
auditorium of that massive structure
was filled with men, women and chill
dren. After being introduced by the
pastor, DR.. Ellington hinged his re-
marks upon the passage of Scripture
which says: "What is man that thou
art mindful of him?" He spoke for
more than an hour. His words were
full of logic, sympathy and sublime
pathos, he carried his hearers off into
raptures, he knew no consequences,
position or station, he drew the most
beautiful picture of righteousness
in all nations, never failing to hold
up the name of Jehovah and to
edify the church. So much good was
done that DR.. Ellington received a
second invitation.
Regardless So the enconiums heap
ed upon DR.. Ellington, he is a man
of solid foundation, and none of
these things move him. He rarely
ever responds to compliments and
never strikes back at critics. He
goes on doing constructive work un-
mindful of all but the cause of Christ.
Not only does he look after his
