BIG DELEGATION FROM BEAU
MONT.

Special to the Nashville Globe.
Beaumont, Texas, June 3-An
army of Sunday school workers from
this city preparing to invade
Alexandria during this month. Prof.
j. B. Eugene, who has been designat-
ed as commander-in-chief and who
will lead the Sunday school forces
from South Texas to North Louisia-
mas metropolis, has just sent word to
the Sunday School Congress Secre-
tary at Nashville, that they will leave
fully prepared and equipped to do
yeoman service. They will take with
them complete company of cadets
and they are planning to put Bible
in the hand of every boy cadet and
every Sunday school worker. Since
the time that the Congress held it's
session in this city the Sunday school
work has been at very high ebb.
The pastors have co-operated with
the Sunday school superintendents
and the result has been Front Line
Sunday School endeavor among every
church in Beaumont.

WAR SAVINGS SOCIETY CAM
PAIGN AT Y. M. C. A. TUESDAY
NIGHT


A very enthusiastic meeting Of the
War.Savings Societies Campaign was
held at the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday
night, Hon. A. N. Johnson, chairman
of the work among colored people,
presiding. Prior to this meeting Mr..
Johnson had sent out communications
all over the city outlining the pur-
pose of this meeting and at the same
time stating in plain terms the obli-
CATION imposed by the government
upon the people, as they had been
stated to him in a meeting held at
the Hermitage Hotel Sunday, when
men from all parts of the state were
present and government officials put
squarely up to them what was to be
done by the people under them and
if they did not do the thing desired
of them they were simply to report
their names and the federal author.
tiles would investigate why they did
not do so.
The meeting was opened with an
earnest, plain, instructive talk by
Chairman Johnson. At the conclusion
] of his remarks he introduced Lawyer
Aust, who spoke for about twenty
minutes of the subject uppermost in
mind. He said in part: MY colored
brethren and sisters, and | CALI you
that advisedly and with no attempt
at patronizings Thank God the day
has passed in my life and it has
passed in the life of many Others
when I can deny the brotherhood OF

ALABAMA SCHOOL ENDS FORTY
THIRD SESSION-TWO STRONG
ADDRESSES HEARD-REV. A. C.
WILLIAMS A SPEAKER.

The State Agricultural and Me-
chanical College for Negroes closed
its forty-third session here last night,
with one graduate from the college
department, three from the normal
school, twelve from the high school,
forty-two from trades, and twenty
four from the Sunday School Teach
er's Training Department The rails
ing of a service flag containing sixty
seven blue. stars and one gold star
was a part of the Commencement ex-
ercises.
Two strong addresses stand out as
prominent features of the closing
program. The first was the Bacca-
laureate address by Rev. A. G.. Will
liams, pastor of the Sixteenth Street
Baptist Church, Birmingham, Ala,
and the second was the Annual Com
mencement address delivered last
night by DR.. j. W. e. Bowen, vice
president of Cannon Theological
Seminary, Atlanta, Ga. DR.. Bowen
is one of the war speakers. His ad-
dress was heard by large number of
white people who pronounced it as
wise and eloquent piece of oratory,
calculated to produce better feeling
between the races in the south and
to stimulate the Negroes patriotism
and to stir him up to do his best to
win the war at all costs.
Editor w. o. Adams, editor of the
Birmingham Reporter, and Rev. John
w. Goodgame, pastor of the Sixth
Avenue Baptist Church of Birming'
ham, delivered interesting wal
speeches during the exercises.

SUMMER INSTITUTE OF THE MA
TI0NAL BAPTIST THE0L0GI-
CAL AND TRAINING SEMIN-

Rev. ]. l.. Harding of the Mission
airy Baptist Convention of Tennessee
in speaking to the Baptists of the
state saws: 81 believe in the ministers
of our District Associations and State
Conventions. They are in the work
of the ministry because they feel
divine impulse prompting them Ga
call to the ministry and because the
promptings are divine they are ~un-
der obligation to be as wise as SER
pents. No great opportunity like
this will be. allowed to slip by them.
Young ministers without any train
ing now and those who fail to attend
some school will be a laughing stock
in the near future. Failure to at
tend this school will be a great sin of
ommission which will result in their
dismission from the work by the peo-
pie. God never did nor can he make
the intelligent masses listen to an
ignorant preacher. Therefore our
ministers will be at the school in
large numbers.

the National Baptist Convention and
one Of the prime movers in the Sun

thirteen years he has missed perhaps
one session. He is often regarded as
"the old young man." keeping up
with ali the affairs of the young peo-
pie and seeing to It that nothing
goes on not only in his church but
in the denomination that he is fac
tor in it. His standing with the G..
A. RS, being retired soldier and a
member Of the Spanish War Veter-
ans as we'll as the civil war veterans
has made him an unique character.

at Mt. Olive has already brought
forth assurance that there will be
large audience to hear him on Sun

ing the embarrassing situation that
he had created, he added hastily
But, Bishop, you preach more like a
black man than anybody | know.
Now, the government is asking that
you loan it a certain sum of money,
Are you asked to give this money
away? No. Are you asked 10 in

to go inside Of YOU that will not do
you any good and will do perhaps
deal of harm? No. You are asked to
invest this money and the government
will pay you per cent interest on
this investment, compounded quar-
terly. For the sum of SILT this
month you will be able to secure a
certificate that will bring you So in

will come, your boys and my boys
(and your boys are fighting over there
right by the side of my boys and

the most heroic things heard of in
this war was the feat of two of your
boys who, when surprised by twenty
three Germans, rather than give up,

not leave twenty-three Germans liv-

Among this number you have already
several well built churches with some
OF the very best people of this city
as members; you have among these
people professional and business
men that stand equal to any one in
the community.

people We welcome you and your en-
terprises to this city of thrift and
growth. On behalf of the Colored
Citizens Club we welcome all that
you may bring with the promise that
no good thing will we withhold from
you.
Fraternally yours,
