Open the door of your heart, my lad
To the Angel OF love and truth,
When the worlds full of unnumbered

IN the beautiful dawn Of youth.
Casting aside all things that mar
Saying to wrong, depart!
TO the voices of hope that are calling
you
Open the doors of your heart.
Nowhere have l seen the Negro
better treated than here, in the mat
ter OF money, of opportunities for
recreation and enjoyment, and living
conditions. 1t is an opportunity OF
life time for you who are here.
Stay, prosper and do the important
government work entrusted to you
with the proud consciousness that
you are doing your part to win the
war no less than the boys in the

JECT OF COMMITTEE STATED.

Baltimore, Md, March 25-The
plain duty Of the colored citizens OF
the American Republic to extend
financial aid to the dependents Of
soldiers of their race either killed OF
injured in fighting for world democ-
racy was pointed out eloquently,
forcibly and insistently at Bethel A.
NJ. E. Church last Wednesday even
ing where a largely attended meeting
was held under the auspices OF the
National Colored Soldiers Comfort
Committee.
The speakers were Judge Robert
H. Terrell, of the Municipal Courts of
the District of Columbia, Bishop l.
N. Ross of the A. NJ. E. Church, Ar
mond w. Scott, Grand Exalted Ruler
of the Elks, all of whom came over

/ SECRETARY TYLER STATES OBJ
JECT OF RELIEF COMMITTEE.
Following an invocation by Rev.
w. II. Weaver and the singing or
My Country IT'S of Thee" by a
section of the choir of Bethel Church,
Mr.. Tyler gave a succinct statement
of the object of the National Sol
diers' Comfort Committee He de-
clared that the loyalty of the Negro
to his flag and country is unques-
toned. The outstanding duty OF the
hour now is to demonstrate the loyal
ty of the race to it's own blood and
kindred who are barring their breasts
to the fire of the Nations enemies
to show in a practical way that we
are prepared to stand by their loved
enes at home while they fight for all
of us in foreign lands. He told OF
the appeals that had come to the
!, committee for aid and mentioned a
number of cities as having responded
generously to the call for help for
the families of those who had en-
listed or been drafted to help their
! country in this worldwide crisis
= Aid was being extended also, he said
to the dependents of the unfortunate
soldiers who had lost their lives OF
y. liberty through the deplorable cir
, cumstances surrounding the riot al
Houston, Texas. Hee referred to the
nation wide reputation of the meI
at the head of the relief committee
such as Prof. Kelly Miller, j. G
y Napier and others, who were giving
b their time, means and labors to thu
noble cause of racial succor withou

lists is that they know our profound
gratitude and appreciation of the
substantial prefers made by Drs.
Gambrel and Haily yesterday in open
meeting touching our proposed SEM
mary.
1t is our wish that the Southern
Baptist Convention thoroughly &C
quaint itself with the UNCONVENTIONAL
status of colored Baptists, that they
appoint permanent Advisory Com
mittee to cooperate with the trustees
of the National Baptist Seminary and
to give them the benefit of their
mature experience in Christian edu-
cation.
In harmony with the open state
ment made by DR.. Masters in our
convention in Atlanta last September
that the Home Mission Board of the
Southern Baptist Convention will not
give money to any colored Baptist
engaged in furthering strife among
his brethren, we ask that DR.. d. B.
Gray, Secretary Of the board be re-
quested to mail mission allowances
of his board direct from his office to
our missionaries Of both conventions
in due proportion and equity.
Relative to the various boards of
our convention, incorporated and I'M
incorporated, we suggest the appoint
ment of a committee or committees
to draft regulations for cooperation
or plan of consolidation where such
may be deemed wise, their report to
be submitted to convention for final
ratification.
: 1t should not be forgotten that in
corporated boards are separate and
distinct entities in law; that they
are supreme within the sphere of
their legal status; that no convention
: or foreign person or organization
can command them. Their self
: perpetuating and self-determinating
rights are the guarantee of law, and
= conventions may not interpose.
There are two national conven-
= lions of Baptist women, each having
various boards expressive of its work.
Both their mission and educational
I work is distinctive, as with men
t though the objective is identic.
C We respectfully advise that Bap-
. fist women of the National Conven-
r vention unincorporated delay any
plan or method Of formal organic
e union till these proceeding, ouI
: plans and purposes, receive final ad,
s justment in organic reunion Of the
two competitions. This mention is
Il made that our loyal sisters may know
their worth and work are most high.
S ly priced.
: Finally The fact that Baptist

Miss Burroughs spoke for one hour
on the subject "The Vision Splendid"
Much has been said of the distin-
guished lady's ability as speaker.
She has been rated as the best ora
tor among. women on the platform
at present, at no time however, does
she allow her oratorical ability to
overshadow her ability to reason and
express those reasonings and con
illusions. The platform accomplish,
ments of Miss Burroughs are excel
lent but the thing that catches and
holds the attention of her audi
ence is the message she has to de
liver and the far reaching perspective
of her vision.
At the conclusion of the address
the audience gave her a collection
of $4,000.
During her stay in the city Miss
Burroughs was the guest of the fac
ulty and students of the A. and L
Normal and Roger Williams Univer
sjty. She was entertained at lun
cheon at the State Normal. She was
the house-guest of Mrs. S. j. Garter
at her home on Gay Street.

JUDGE TERRELL, BISHOP ROSS
AND ATTORNEY SCOTT JOIN
IN PLEA FOR AID.

Judge Terrell, introduced as the
"only Negro Judge in the country
and representing 100000 colored
Americans" recounted the part the
Negro had played in the various wars
of the Republic and asserted that the
Negro race had never made a deeper
impression upon this country than
now. His review of the heroislu OF
the race in battle from Bunker Hill
to Carrizal, Mexico, was received
with enthusiasm. He did not lay
the tlattering JUNCTION to his soul that
| the loyalty of the Negro in the pres
ent crisis would solve all phases Of
| the so-called race problems, but he
was certain that untlagging zeal and
unfaltering fidelity to his country
| in its hour of need would go far to-
wards removing many of the stumb-
| ling blocks which now bar his pro-
gress. He would at least deserve the
better conditions that ought to come.
Attorney Scott said that the col
ored people were differently cireum-
stanced than the whites, in that they
did not earn as much money, and
that made it all the more necessary
that the race should support the de-
pendents of colored soldiers. Citing
numerous Biblical incidents, and
drawing upon the history Of strug-
Cling peoples, he expressed a belief
that the Negro would find a distinct
betterment of conditions following
the titantic war of the century. He
said that no race under the sun had
been more loyal to his country, in
the face Of prejudice and denial of
opportunity, than the Negro and that
the race would not fail the flag, no
matter what may happen, as this is
"our country, our flag-ours for
what we have done for it as well as
what it has done for us-the only
flag or country we have known or
shall ever know"
Bishop Ross, an erstwhile citizen
of Baltimore and pastor of several of
its churches, received an oya ion.
He made an eloquent appeal for the
dependents, declaring that the col
ored soldiers were not only fighting
to make Europe and the isles of the
sea safe for democracy, but also that
liberty, justice and democracy might
obtain in Louisiana, Georgia, Texas,
Mississippi and elsewhere in the
United States. He told the story Of
the Negroes fealty to the Republic in
every hour of need and gave credit
to the race for preventing dismem-
berment Of the Union when North
and South clashed in struggle to
the death.
The collection, despite heavy de-
mands of other interests and strong
counter attractions, was generous,
amounting to about $50. Judge
Terrell supervised the offering, as
sisted by r. w. Thompson and John
T. Howe, of Washington. Similar
, meetings are planned for the many
churches in Baltimore, Washington
and nearby cities. DR.. w. Sampson
