The Incorporated Convention evidcn
tly believes in Republican form of
church government in Missionary
and Educational work, the unincorpor
iatcd sands practically for pure De
'mocracy-the Morris wing holds that
the National Convention IS the legal
representative of al! Negro Baptist
Churches in the aggrcgatc-thc Jones
wing is acting on the theory that
3aptists can have no body or organ!za
ton to thus represent them as church
cs-that the local church is the unit
in making legal contracts-and they
must make such contracts by direct
vote and not by representatives or or
CARNATIONS Of representatives. Sup
pose we get these conflicting views
harmonized in getting the peace pro
position past so we will know which
one of these forms of government we
Will have after we rcun!tc
IReunion will follow a getting to
gcthcr in thought and feeling very
easy; hut getting together in thought
and feeling will not certainly como
in the wake Of union or reunion in
matters OF the world-where people
arc to work together organically it
is important that they think nliko
as we'll as feel alikc-we need not
only love one another in this reunion
business but fundamentally to sec
things alike.
The white Baptists and white Meth
odists split before or about the time
of the Civil War; Believe they will
rcnnitc when they como to see and
feel things alike. We thank the white
. Baptists for what they are doing in
the way Of getting us rs Negro Bapt
, list and l hope they will not become
impatient with us; but remcm
her as long as we are not to
gether in thought and feelings
we may stay apart Just
900 not withstanding; we want a sub
stantial peace and lasting reunion.

WE WANT SUBSTANTIAL PEACE
AND LASTING UNION.
{ BY j. II. Eason, B'ham, Ala.)

1t is notifying to some OF the3
Baptists to see the condition and
movements of the Baptists in this
country, especially colored Baptists-
How they abuse one another rage
and imagine vain things. Some Of our
brethren are cutting and butchering
one another up, supposing our trouble
to be really in men. But our trouble
is not principally men but in the weak
ness of our system of cooperative
UNCONVENTIONAL work; this, many OF
our brethren know but they will not
say so for, fear of being prosecuted
yea crucificd-as Paul was when he
dared to speak a word against the
tradition and laws Of the fathers
Acts 81 Chapters.
Brethren we are conducting our
work different from the fathers in
local churchcs-we call it improve
ment-now why We cannot improve
in our Associations and conventions
why we cannot combine our churches
for christian work different from
what our fathers did I cannot see.
We ought to come together in union
of churches on written articles OF
Observation-Disclosures now we, in our
UNCONVENTIONAL work are only com
pactS Of messengers and individuals.
Those who represent our churches
IN Associations and Conventions even
the National Convention are not dele
gates; hence do not and can not re
present the churches in a real ana
legal sense. Our National Conventions
are great and big bodies based upon
and tied together by sentiment. But
you may say sentiment is stronger
than law-yca even than denth--yes
/, is also as uncertain as life too.
Don't we all consider life is uncer
tain? Today you are rich, tomorrow
you are poor-today you are in good
health tomorrow You are
sick; toay men praise you
tomorrow the same men curse you-
Poorly fitted indeed, for great sub
stantial and lasting work is a demon
imation that is a mere voluntary AS.
sociation--a body held together simply
by sentiment.
If we are not going to hook up diff
fcrcnt than what we are I think
the hest thing to do is to let the Nat
Sonal ,Conycntion stay divided; let
each Convention, following it's indefi
nate vague ideal go on and do the
best work they can for the Lord.
There arc Baptists that don't see
anything certain and lasting In the
policies of either Convention; butk
they arc all we have, so they are
going on with them.
1t seems the slogan among us Is.
peace and union. did all I could
against tho split that came in Chica-.
go. I am not against reunion but
think that big thing to do in one
mo'ion-1 would suggest that we
work and get peace first, and then
toxic the vote on reunion. I think re
union will come after peace with less
expense than ii win come before
peacc-cven along with peace.

We should conserve our food and by so
doing save our money People with hum
bic surroundings pay their bills promptly.
They do not take chances for they know
just how much they earn and just how
much they can spend with safety. The
point is to save money.
Hundreds of people spend all that they
make, carry enough insurance to bury
them when they are dead and enough to
leave their little ones to give them a start
and then proceed to die happy
If your fore-parents did not leave you
anything when they died, you should profit
by ii and not follow their example. Be
true to yourself and family Start bank
account today. One dollar will start you
in almost any savings bank in the country
and ten cents will start you in ours. You
can start with ono penny if you patronize
the Christmas Savings Club.
Look out for the future and rest secure
that savings bank account is the best
means by which you can do this.
