which Father Upshaw preached from
the text: "The Death and Resurrect-
ion of Christ" and in his own way
pictured the cross and tomb to a
large congregation. The sermon was
glorious.
At A D. m. the Mems Union held
a splendid session and with Bro. J..
C. Peoples conducting the Bible
work, we were all benefited from the
discussion and gained new vision.
Next Sunday afternoon the great
subject of Fellowship" will be dis
cussed by the Ex-president of the

In absence Of our worthy president,
Bro. A. R. Newman, who arrived in
the city too late to take up the work,
Vice-president S. G. Collins was in
the chair and an excellent program
was rendered with each department
taking an active part in the discus
sion of Prayer and Thanksgiving"
The systematic Bible reading course
is taking on new life and much in
terest is being manifested in this
work, which is being lead by our
own Ira C. Butler, and closely fol-
lowing this great work is the I'M
firing G.. T. Willis, who knows how
to put the Bible drill over.
We closed the days work with an
excellent sermon from Rev. George
Wright. We all enjoyed his remarks.
Bro Wright is one of our young as

pains in preparing himself for the
ministry and we always feel delighted
to hear him. Total collection for

A TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF REV.
j. G. GILMORE
DALLAS. Texass Inne "a. 1a20.

Dallas, Texas June "a, 1920.
Rev. ]. G.. Gilmore, who departed
this life June s, 1920, at $3.50 o'clock,
at the family residence. 1901 Adair
street. Rev. ]. G. Gilmore was born
in Stonewall, La, 1868. He was 81
years old at the time of his death.
He was the third child of Rev.
and Mrs. Edmon Gilmore of Stone
wall, La, who preceded him in
death several years ago. The family
consisted of six sons and two dough-
ters, but only one brother survives,
Rev. c. A. Gilmore of Phoenix, Ariz.
Rev. Gilmore was the father of seven
children and five step-children; all
but three survive him. Rev. Gilmore
began preaching at the age of II
years, and was still earring the
word on until a few weeks before
he died. He said hat he was will
ing and ready at any time the Lord
should call
He said he didn't have breath to
lose talking about where he was
going, for death to him is like taking
an evening walk. Rev. Gilmore was
the founder of Mt. Rose Baptist
church, which he pastored foI
twenty-five years. He was loved by
all who knew him. He was man
of national distinction, as a preach
er and leader. He was one of the
races best pulpiteers in America
We loved, yes, we loved him, but
Jesus loved him more, and He has
sweetly called him, to yonder shin
ing shore. The Golden Gates were
open, a gentle voice said "come!" and
with farewell unspoken, he calmly
entered.

PLEA FOR NEGRO STATE SCHOOLS
Continued from Page. u

Rome to Albany is over 300 miles,
and is nearly 400 miles to Savannah,
and 106 from Albany to Macon.
From the mountains to the sea
Negroes chief occupation is farming.
We need not say that these, two
the large Negro population-over a
million-in the State of Georgia.
Therefore we are asking that the
agricultural high schools be establish
ed by the State for Negro youth.
While no fair-minded person can
escape facing the fact that race
friction is a great element in the
things that cause the exodus, we are
the temptation of a hattering daily
wage, the lack of good school ia
cilities generally. are the immediate
occasions for the steady stream of our
people going North in such large num-
bers.
Again, not only do the colored
people leave the country to go to
another section for better school adj
vantages, but thousands leave the
farm to move into nearby towns
within the borders of the State for
the same reason.
Many of the people who leave the
rural districts do not 20 North. as
supposed. but have located in some
neighboring town in the state. It is
difficult to make the ignorant man
see that 500 per month as salary
is less to him and his wife with three
or four children than a good farm
with an outlet to all of natures ad-
vantages. Good agricultural schools
located so as to reach all points in
| the farming sections. with well
| laid out course of study. EQUIPPED with
that periodical university extension
work that aims at the instruction
of the young. and the inspiring OF
the farmers generally through con-
ferences. would go far in making
better the conditions in Georgia.
We are appesling to all public
spirited men in Georgia to urge that
these two schools be established this
year.
