Just here let me say that Rev. Skin
ner the pastor of the Salem Baptist
Church has been humiliated and
criticised unjustly. We do not be-
lieve that there is one word true.
II is an o. ganized political church
scheme between those Two women
and few other friends of theirs.
The Brotherhood should greatly
sympathise with Rev. Skinner and
encourage him as much as they can.
Rev. Brown, pastor of the Mt.
Zion Baptist Church in Frog Town,
is doing a grand and good vol Tor
those people and should be assisted
by the other pastors with stronger
congregations.
The Mount Olive Baptist Church
has called new preacher. We
learn that he is spleneid preacher
and Is accomplishing great good.
Bishop Jones of the African Meth
{ list Church in this district, has
been invited to speak in Dallas al
the Coliseum on the 4th Sunday in
March, so that all Of the people may
hear him. He is just from Europe,

Conference and will have much to
tell our people.
Let me say to tho Negro men and
women generally, to stop your fooi-
ishncss and let us get down to bus
mess, stop running around keeping
late hours. stop following W moving
picture shows, and spend more money
for the development of your race
The Dallas express. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1893-1970, 1919-02-22

and for taking care OF your own
charities. On the fourth Sunday in
March, we want every man, woman
and child to come out and hear
Bishop Jones. He speaks to all the
people and in behalf of the Dickson

3aptists of the city that he is a
good man for them to follow as
q leader.
DR.. H. A. Carr, pastor of the Beth

inent and as an example for the
people Of that congregation to follow.
DR.. Carr is quiet, jealous and lovable
in his manner, and very much de-

He Is doing q great work in Dallas
for all the churches. He has sent
members from his revival TO every
church in the city.
Rev. |. r. Richardson. pastor OF
the Mount Marian Baptist Church
In Queen City. is doing a great work
He Is now preparing to put up a
new edifice at a cost of $4,000. Rev
Richardson needs to be encouraged,
Rev. c. C. Harper, pastor of the
st. John Baptist Church. is doing
a splendid work by building an in
stutional church. The building is
in course of erection, and they are
making a splendid Roadway. Dr.
Harper is a keen, shrew business
man and is known as the sweet
singing angel as a preacher. Every
body likes to hear him preach.
Rev. ]. II. Kelly, pastor of Mt
Rose Baptist Church, is Foreign
Mission Secretary of the General
Baptist Convention of Texas. He
has accomplished great deal since
he has been here in planning to
take the field for Africa.
The Dallas churches need TO
be Congratulated for the class OF
ministers that they have been able
to select. Dallas has the cleanest
preachers, both Baptist and Method
lists, that there are in any city in
Texas of its size. There are no
Negro churches in this state, pro-
crossing and doing the work for the
race that the Dallas churches are
doing. They are big enough to lose
sight of their UNCONVENTIONAL pre-
JUDGE, and elect D, Alexander Jack
son as the President of the Inter-
UNCONVENTIONAL Union, which shows
great spirit and great mark of
intelligence. A financial effort for
the Dickson Colored Orphanage is
being maintained, and pushed by
these ministers in every detail.
DR.. E. Arlington Wilson, pastor of
the Macedonia Baptist Church is
one of, the smoothest orators among
the preachers of Dallas. He is ell
oquent, profound and logical. Mace
donia church has done well to get
such a man. He is organizing the
church, he has in new seats, new
carpets and new piano. He is
raising $3.50. per Sunday without
any effort at all, simply the system
as outlined and organized in the
church since his arrival. DR.. Will
son promises great meeting for
the Dickson Colored Orphanage.
Let me appeal to other churches
and their pastors throughout this
state organize your people, get to
work, stop all your foolish doctrines
and preach the Gospel, teach your
people along all moral lines and set
down on any immoral man as a
leader when. it is found to be true.

fact that the war broke out and
we we're asked to suspend collecting
on the special campaign, to raise
the $4,000 in order to secured do

on that amount in bonifled subscrip-
ton and cash $4,000. The great
rally for Liberty Bonds, Red Cross,
War Saving Stamps, United War
Work, stopped us and we have not
attempted to do anything but to feed
and clothe our great family That
we have done with more ease than
any previous year in the history
of the institution, regardless of the
fact that the great war and the
struggle of the people to respond
to it. We are very sorry that on
time to raise the $4,000 has ex-
pired and we have not raised the

. twas thought at the time the war
would have only lasted few months
but endurance has been more than
two years. We are going to ask
our friends who have subscribed so
literally to convert their donations
into hospital on the campus of the
Dickson Colored orphanage, as it
is much needed and we cannot go
further without one. These various
diseases makes it impossible to sue
coed without a hospital on campus.
Cotton Crop.
Our cotton crop was failure,
considering we planted for 25 bales
and received 8. We have held this
cotton for advanced prices in order
to pay the back Indebtedness for

Sweet Potato Crop.
Our sweet potato crop was ex-
cellent. We have gathered more
than 5000 bushels sweet potatoes.
Pea Crop.
Our peas were fine. We've been
able to gather and put into our
pea house more than $4,000 pounds
black eyed peas.
Peanut.
Our peanuts have done fairly WELL
They have made splendid horse feed
and fine enjoyment for the children
in parching and eating them.

The Police Commissioners have been requested by the welfare com mittee of the Devon Inlprovem ent Association to have a. member of the police force stationed at the eastern end of Washington bridge to regulate the traffic there. The large volume of traffic during the summer months over this route and the congestion over the single roadway of the bridge makes it absolutely necessary that some one in authority be on hand at this point.
 The commencement of the new bridge, to start in a very short time will tend to further complicate mat ters and it is hoped that the com Tnissioners will delegate one of the force to the job permanently. The junction of Naugatuck and Bridge port avenues is another bad spot on Sundays and holidays and something should be done to regulate traffic at this point also.
