Henry j. Asberry lives in Tacoma and is
a barber by trade, but those who heard his
'unlty' address last Sunday evening were
thoroughly convinced that neither of those
handicaps initiated against him in deliver
ing one OF the most pleasing talks that has
ever been heard in Seattle. Every word
and every sentence hit the bulls eve and
as he neared his close those who had hung
on his each and every word regretted that
ne would not continue to speak words of
wisdom mingled with cheerfulness. His
subject within itself was sermon and it
was doubly so, after he had so fuently por-
trayed its application. The only regretable
thing about the address was that the house
was not packed to hear it, but it is here
predicted that, if ever he repeats the adj
dress in Seattle he will have a full house
to listen to him. He was accompanied bv
his wife and sister-in-law, Mrs. Townsend.

Rev. w. D. Carter and Mrs. Carter will
return to the city today, after months
absence part Of which time was spent
at the National Baptist Convention one of
the largest deliberative bodies among the
colored folks in the United States He will
take up his pastoral work at once and will
occupy his pulpit Sunday and the presump-
ton is that he will tell his audience of the
general workings Of the convention either
IN the forenoon or in the evening. Rev.
Carter is one Of the broadcast gagued col
ored preachers that ever pastored in Sc
attle, he beng ready and willing at all
tunes to lend a helping hand to any meri
torious cause Mrs Carter has been verv
active in the work of women since she has

reels the greatest amount of interest in is
that among the young women of the CITY
IN the way OF forming them into a Culture
Club, which is an adjunct to the Y0unp
Women's Christian Association. This work
she plans to take up with renewed vigor
this season and will endeavor to interest
even more young women in it than in the
past
Rev. d. "A. Graham, who left for the
Puget Sound annual conference of the
vi. n. church, which convened at Great
Falls. Montana, nearly a month AGO and
who, after its adjournment, went to Indi-
ana to visit with relatives and friends of
ms childhood, will occupy his pulpit next
Sunday to the delight Of his entire member
ship. He will begin his second year as
pastor Of the church of his connection in
this city under far more favorable auspices
than his first, and if his second is as sue
cessful as his first, his report at the next
annual conference will be one of the most
fatterlng in the history of this particular
church. He found the church in bad finan-
clal condition when he first became it's pas
tor and while it's condition is still bad
enough, it is far from the chaotic condition
1t was IN when he took hold of it. Some
DAY, 1T IS hoped, this church will be COM
pleteiy out OF debt and then it will be in a.
Posltlon to take care of it's pastor as is fit
ting pastor over so large a flock.
