of dollars into their treasures. He was
also one OF the main factors in the or
ganization OF the Public Lie Insurance
Company. recently organized and helped
shape the policy OF that company which
has both white and colored men upon
its board OF directors.
Mr. Gillespie began to realize that in
surance was one OF the biggest bust
nesses in the country He also began
to realize that there was little or no
place in the insurance world for the
colored man so long as the big nsur-
ance companies continue to operate as
they do. There were hundreds OF young
.colored men and women, capable and
efficient, who would never be given the
opportunity to utilize their abilities
under the present conditions. So Mr.
Gillespie resolved to build an insurance
company among his own people.
The obstacles attendant upon this task
seemed insurmountable. 1t was neces-
sary to deposit 100000 in cash with
the state In addition to this it would
be necessary TO have in hand an addi-
tional 100000 for operating purposes
In other words. 100000 was requisite
for the commencement of a tirSt-class

many doubted. Mr. Gillespie was told
that the time was not ripe. that 100000
could not be raised among colored peo-
pie, that confidence in an institution OF
this sort could not be instilled into col
ored people. Nevertheless. the organi-
cation was commenced. sale OF pro.
posed stock began. and the Liberty
Life campaign was oil in earnest
Two years was the allotted time in
which to dispose OF 10000 shares OF
stock at $50 per share.
The campaign was prosecuted with
such vigor and energy that twelve
months later June 30, 1920 over 900
shares have already been sold over
S225 900 has been subscribed and bold
prophecies are being made that the cam
paign will be brought to a whirlWind
finish not later than October 3lst
Thus the doubling Thomases have
been convinced and those who hesitatcd
and stood by the waySide to see how
il would come OUT are coming in daily
and buying stock They now know that
in little while it will be too late, and
they don't want to be lett out in the
cold.
Tho wonderful success OF the Liberty
Lie is due directly TO the management
OF Mr. Gillespie He knows the insur-
ance business from start 10 finish, and
has few equals al the art OF salesman

now being rightly called The Negro

Sunday, August l, was day OF
great rejoicing at Our church, because
our entire church debt has been
liquidated
Five years ago our honorable pas
tor, Rev. J. A. Royal, moved us from
a store front to our present location
with about sixteen members The
church debt of $500 was undertaken
by this faithful few, only a few OF
whom remain. The membership has
grown to more than three hundred.
Last week the pastor and trustees
paid the remaining $7l7.93. We are
now worshiping under our own vine
land fig tree The Lord has done great
things Tor us whereof we are glad.
The church has given the pastor an
extensive trip for rest. recreation and
recuperation. He will return for the
District Association, after which he
anticipates to join heart and hand
with the church again for another
Jealous struggle for a more spacious
edidce.
We must have a larger structure as
we cannot accommodate our large
congregation. We earnestly thank
God that in spite OF criticism and
ridicule we have put our hand il
Gods hand and he has led US over
obstacles, enabled us to surmoun
difficulties and overcome all of oui
resistances. We are expecting greater
| blessings in the future.

 Valuable prizes will be awarded the winners. and no conditions of any na- ture will be assessed against the en- trants.
 It is a surprise feature-one that will chase any case of grouch or gloom into the extreme background. there to be lost track of in the overwhelming ad- vance of Fun and Happiness which travel with the Potato Dance.
 The management announces several other feature innovations to be staged at the Blue Bird, full particulars oi which will be carried in the daily papers in the near future.
 The Blue Bird continues to feature five cent dances every evening except Sunday with Carol Reed and his jazz band furnishing the music.
 r.. S. Mayfield continues with his daily lessons both private and ir classes-a very much appreciated con- venience by those who would learn ths alluring art of the dance.
