The young men who are working
diligently to build up a creditable
membership in the Colored Associa-
ton, will no doubt win their right
to a place by the side of those who
have paid large sums of money, made
great sacrifices of time and effort,
given timely suggestions, prayed fer
vently and have plead in and out of
season that the Association might be
placed on a solid basis. When this
membership effort shall have closed,
thhe members secured and who Sc
cured them will be matter of per-
manent record. AS was said at the
beginning of the campaign, this effort
affords fine opportunity for men to
discover themselves and to be dis
covered by others. Some young fell
low with unusual salesmanship abili-
ty may be known after April LIST as
never before. With the campaign
about ten days of the close, the two
hundred mark is gradually being
approached.
The silver loving cup, the unique
lunch box, the solid gold ring, $500
in gold, given by the Association, the
Hermitage Hardware Co., Calhoun
Company jewelers. and the Retail
Merchants Association respectively,
are still attracting attention. The
workers themselves, as we'll as the
Committee of Management, seem to
insist that the prizes should not be
awarded until the number of mem
bers and the amount of money agreed
upon should be reached or exceeded.

finally the Southern white Baptist
Convention and joint commission
of both colored Conventions advised
the necessity of mutual consideration
of these questions. A commission of
seven white brethren, from the
Southern Baptist Convention and
seven brethren from the Incorporated

If they could do so without sacrific-

agreed upon on condition that two
points be conceded by the Morris
faction which were as follows: First,
that the charter that raised the dis
pute should be abrogated, withdrawn
and spurned from the records In
Washington. Second that all law suits
were to be withdrawn by the Morris
faction. These two propositions
were unanimously agreed upon and
will be reported to both Conventions.
The questions of UNCONVENTIONAL
ownership, Board control and Con-
vention control are questions
which will now be discussed

Boards. The question Of Theo-

Ranks

Philadelphia and the Baptist Young
Peoples Union Board located in Ten
nessee decided to affiliate with the
Morris faction. The National Baptist
Board and the Educa-
tional Board located in Tennessee de-
cided to affiliate with the Jones fac
ton. The Woman's Auxiliary Board
attempted to stay in the middle of
the road and alternate tbeir influence
and work between both bodies. This
brough about numerous law suits.
The first two law suits were filed in
the state of Illinois. These suits
were over the name of the National
Baptist Convention. The second
two suits were filed in the state of
Tennessee. The first was for the re-
moval of Boards and the second for
mismanagement Of trust funds. The
first two suits filed in the state of
Illinois were won by the Jones fac
ton. One of the suits filed in the
state of Tennessee were voluntarily
withdrawn by the Morris faction.
The last Tennessee suit Is still
pending in Court. There were two
other suits brewing. The Foreign
Mission Board without sanction of
the law of the state of Kentucky had
removed their property of that Board
from Louisville to Philadelphia.
This Board had considerable property
some of which was legacy willed by
lady in New York to the amount of
$25, 900 or 100000. The Jones fac
ton who made their headquarters in
Louisville was preparing to bring
suit asking the state of Kentucky
to make this Board bring back the
property of the Board to the state OF
Kentucky. The Morris faction after
examining the charter of the Wom-
ans Auxiliary Board was preparing
to bring suit to force the Women's
Board to change their charter. These

ties which the standard Association

estimated that approximately $4,000
would be needed to take care Of the
operating expenses. The very
thoughts of raising this amount al
most completely discouraged some
