It seems to be a chronic dispositidi of human nature never to let wel enough alone. Theology is the science philosophy of religion. Its duty is to tell us al we can know about Jehovah who con' isrols human destiny. Sanctification ^ embraces tlire< things : Separation from the world Dedication to God/ and Filled witl God. Justification makes us as wliit< as snow; sanctification makes ui whiter than enow, i Some brethren are writing and beg' ging us to get sensational in our edf torials. What for ? What about' We thought they got enough of thii kind of food when we were a corres pondent. Be patient, beloved breth ren. If we live, we have four lonj j years before us in which to rip th< hide off of you. Belter let us he. Two more staff writers occupy pub' lie attention this week—Blackwel and Covington. They say a greai deal in a few words and do not ex' ceed a column. Why can’t the othei .long-winded writers do the same! They must do so if they expect to se( their articles in this paper. Bishoj G. W. Clinton sat in our sanctum las! week shaking with laughter when h< saw us running the scissors and per through some articles. One of the very best Negro writer! in this country, spicy, versatile anc red-hot, a member of our staff, a grad' uate of Livingstone College, Prof. W F. Fonveille, of Tarboro, N. C., make! his bow to the readers in this issue of the first page under the title “Majori and Minors.” When you see hii name attached to an article you may look for some mighty interesting reading, for he is an old hand at th< •quill, and knows how to make the columns of a paper smoke. Some o: the big Negro journals are after hi; writings, but he will save the best food for the Star. If Zion will stand by us with its subscriptions, no Negrc paper shall outshine the Star. The Zion Centennial local commit tee is quietly but effectively doing great work. The securing of homes for visitors, the registry being pre pared of boarding places and private houses where those from out of town can secure good accommodations at fair rates, are some of the important features of their work. They also expect to give some practical aid tc the citizen’s committee of which they form a part. All applications can be addressed to Rev. M. R. Franklin, pastor, or E. V. C. Eato, 353 Bleeckei St.; Chas. Baker, 66 Pine St.; Geo. E. Washington, 117 West 10th St., and Jas. E. Nickson, 760 Greenwich St.— N. Y. Age. All who intend to visit our great Centennial in New York in October had better write at once to the above gentlemen concerning the p ice of board and lodging. Pastors will call the attention of their members to this notice. Do not delay, for their will be a rush of people. The Cen tennial begins the first of October and , continues twelve days. Bishop Pettey Very Low. The great and. brainy Bishop Pet tey whose illness was reported in last week’s Star is very low indeed. We hope for the ttest. Zion is not\|>re pared to par* with this representa tive young Bishop. His mind cotaes ston. b no im arovement in Bishop’s condition. He in prostiated with fever. He is very veak indeed and for twelve days has b sen living only on medicine and pano] >epton or liquid food. Two of my cl ildren are also very sick. Pray for ui II nor To Whom Honor-Is Due. So ne brethren are sending letters of co nplaint to the Business Manager abou i the publication and non publications of certain articles, and he is receiving some criticisms which shou d go to the Editor. If some of our dyspeptic critics and growlers had more hindsight than foresight, they would carry their complaints to the right Source—the Editor. We desii e to state once for all, and loud enor gh for those deaf as a post to hear, that these are two separate and dis tinct offices, with separate and dis tinc duties. The Editor is not uri • der the Manager, nor the Manager , und ;r the Editor. Neither one pro post 3 for the next four years to be figu e-beads of their respective offices. The Editor hasn’t anything to do witl the business department of the Sta r, nor the Manager with the edit oriai. Do you understand this? Out lids of the Manager’s Column and the. paid advertisements, nothing can go i a,the Star without first the in spec lion and approval of the Editor. Thi i being true, common sense ought ^ to tell you to complain to the Edi :or when your article ,is delayed, or 1 ?hon you see anything in the pa per that does not suit you. It is our dut r to see that the paper is filled wit 1 reading matter; it is the duty of t he Manager then to print it. So far, there is friendly feelings existing bet reen the Manager and Editor ; but we lesire all who intend to do busi nes at; this Publishing House to re ape t our offices even if they do not can i to personally respect us. Do not , hit the Manager when you want to hit thei Editor, and vice versa. Both of is arc capable of taking care of our lelves, and while we are not burn ing for a fight with any one—the ' Ed: tor and Manager have been noti fied twice that if they want a fight alo lg certain lines they can get it— we will not run away from one. We are open to advice and propose to trei ,t fairly and honorably every one according to the dignity of his or her . position; but we are not going to , sub mit to dictation from any source as to how we shall run the Star, nor be bulldozed into silence. The gen era 1 conference didn’t elect us for that, and the Editor and Manager wo lid be mighty big fools if they al lov ed any one to padlock their mo iiths and shackle their hands and ’ f you have paid your money for th( Stab and do not get it, complain to ;he Manager. If you have sent an art icle here and it is not published, complain to the Editor. We repeat, sei d all articles and notices for pub lic ition to the Editor, and all busi ne is matter and money to the Mana ts Bryan An Actor Or An Orator l The Democratic leaders of the gold stripe throughout the country are dis ap pointed and displeased with Candi da te Bryan’s speech at Madison Square Garden, New York. He-failed to electrify the New York audience as he did the Chicago Convention. H s silver friends say he caught cold going East which made his voice, hus kj. They say again that- it is evi d*ntly due to the intolerable heat of the evening. The latter reason won’t dc. It was extremely hot at the Chi cs go Convention and he was able to set the crowd wild. Hon W. Bourke Cockran a few nights ago when it was very hot filled Madison Square Garden with people and held them until he finished hs speech. At the opening of Grant’s s<cond campaign, Roecoe Conkling spoke in the Academy of Music in hew York from 8 o’clock until half p ist 11, in the presence of a throng as great in proportion to the capacity of the building as was that at Madison Square Garden. The heat was terri ble, and yet in all that time not one person left the hall; for Conkling held an audience of 4,000 persons by the splendor and charm of his eloquence, s j that being wholly controlled by the crator, they seemed to he uncon scious of the heat. James G. Blaine cn a hot night in New York spoke to sn audience fully as large aa that which gathered to hear Bryan, and not one person turned away from his magnetic speech. An audience equal ly as large in 1892 in New York lis tened to Grover Cleveland’s of acceptance, and ey nained until sminent men ■ The fact is this young man from the WeBt bad reached the zenith of Ms fame as an orator when he nomi nated himself for the Presidency, and as that was hisbest speech which the Democratic Chairman of Lis State said ho had heard him deliver 100 times, with the exception of the intro duction, a collection of several speech es boiled into one, and he did not caro to repeat it since he had become famous, of course it was impossible for him to reproduce in New Yoik] the disorderly and dramatic scenes witnessed before his nomination at Chicago. He was. not equal to the occasion and his speech ot acceptance was devoid of that fire, defiance and courage which characterized his Chi cago speech. He was afraid to trust His memory, or the inspiration of the moment, but read his speech which to many was a disappointment. The New York papers, Democratic and Republican, say the speech and the meeting were flat failures. The next thing that disheartened Mr. Bryan was the absence of the great leaders of the Democratic par ty. It looked as if they had forgotten that such a meeting was going on. Mr. Bryan by his oratory has signal ly failed to electrify and stampede the East, and therefore his long journey from Nebraska to New York to hear that one national convention had nom inated him, and another had endorsed him, and that there were two tails to his ticket, is disappointing. The sil ver craze is dying hard; the East fails to be enthused for anybody or any thing except McKinley and gold; therefore the eilver men had better carry the “Boy Orator” back to Ne braska. He is more of an actor than an orator.' It was Horace Greeley who said, “Go West, young man.” Rev. J. R. B. Smith No More. Death is still walking about Zion and striking down our strong pulpit men. This time it is the Rev. J. R. B. Smith of the New York conference who was stationed at Troy. After a few months of suffering, borne with characteristic patience and faith, he died at the A. M. E. Zion parsonage, 64, 7th Street, at 3:45 a. m , August 17th, 1896, of Bright’s disease of the kidneys. He said he was ready and waiting. Having responded to thocall of his country in the late war, he was prom inent in the Grand Army of the Re public. He enlisted in the Fifty fourth Massachusetts Regimerit when he was 16 years old, and because of being un ler age, after short service he was discharged. Later he joined the 27th regiment of United States colored troops at Delaware, Ohio, and -took part in several important bat tles. ijciug a ouiv »»u u-uu a good talker, he was also one of the Afro-American leaders of the Repub lican party in New York. Ip 1892 he was elected a member at large on the Republican State Committee, and before he was seriously sick he had been engaged by the Republicans to do campaign work. He was the edi tor and proprietor of the New York. Echo when it was published in Bath, Utica, and later in Brooklyn and New York. He has pastored with much success our churches in Kingston, Hudson and Troy. He was a member of the general conference which met last May in Mobile, Ala., and was one of the candidates for the bishopric. Tall, stout, genial, a ready talker, with the manners cf a Chesterfield, he would instantly attract attention in any gathering. Industrious and persevering, loyal to his church, he, had the confidence, love and esteem of his conference and of the ministry in general. His work is done and he is now in the eternal city. He leaves a loving wife, three sons and a daugh ter, and a Miss S. May Smith who is being educated at the Training School for a nurse at the Freedman’s Hos pital at Washington, D. C. Soldier, politician, editor and preacher, rest in peace! As Presiding Elder Biddle will give a full account of the funeral, we close with the following clippings : In the death of Rev. J. R. B.

She desires all ministers who have newspaper pictures to forward them at once to her at 113 Eiler St., South Street, St. Louis, Mo. In going out on his first round through the voolly West, Bishop G. W. Clinton gained ten pounds. When he stepped into our sanctum last week we, after eyeing him closely, said, ‘Bishop, you are getting fat since your election.’ With a blush and a smile he sail, “Mr. Editor, you are always getting up some thing new on n fellow.” The Bishop will turn out a full beard in the 3pring.

Thare will be a grand chorus of 100 voices. W e look for a big financial success for the Centen nial. Rev. C. H. Smith, of Moble, Ala., passes by the Editor for some reason and complains to the Manager be cause his notice has not been pub lished sooner. He says he has writ ten four or five short articles to the Star since he has been in Alabama and has never heard from them. The present Editor has neither seen or heard of them. We are not re sponsible for what happened in the administration of our predecessors. We are publishing articles and no tices as fast as we can find space for them, and these delays are due to long-winded articles which we are cutting down as rapidly as they get here. Not an article which has come under our notice has gone to the waste-baskel;. Every one, if they will be patuint and give us time, will see something that they write. We have had for over two months articles from Bishop Walters, Prof. D. W. Parker and others; also one from Carlisle, Pa., where we pastored, speaking of a grand reception ten dered us. They are delayed for want of space. Every week brings us nearer to them. Our good and fat brother Smith, and all others, will please complain to the Editor when their articles are delayed. We edit; the Manager prints. Anything that Elder Smith sends here will be pub lished. . V Special Notice. Persons desiring to communicate with Bishop G. W. Clinton can ad dress him as follows: Aug. 26-30, Chattanooga, Tenn.; Sept. 1-6, 526, Laurel St., Louisville, Ky.: Sept. 8-j “Books” delivered before tie Union Christian Literary Society Friday night was pronounced a very inter esting and instructive lecture by those who were present. The Bishop preached morning and night at St. Faul church and all who heard him were carried away with the force and eloquence of his sermons.—Knox ville (Tenn.) Southern Herald. Bishop J. W. Hood was out in The Star of Zion last week with an able argument against the free and un limited coinage of silver. Senator John Sherman could not produce a more conclusive argument against the free coinage policy. Bishop Hood ranks among the finest thinkers of the world.—Asheville (N. C?.) Colored En terprise. While in Charlotte last week we dropped in to see the new editor and new manager of The Star of Zion. Rev. J. W. Smith, the editor, is a vig orous writer and is making the Star just what it should be—a credit to the Zion Connection. Rev. 6. L. Black well, the manager, is a hustler. Since he has taken charge the Star comes out on time every week. He has in creased his force and everything in the office moves along like clock work. Two boys, Napoleon and Albert Wyche, who stuck their first type in the Blade office, are at work on the Star, besides three other compositors including the foreman.—Maxton (W. C) Slade. Bishop Geo. W. Clinton, D. D., of the A. M. E. Zion church, filled the pulpit of St. Paul I. M. church yes terday morning and evening. The congregation was good at each ser vice. In the morning the Bishop preached from Matt. 2: 13. “Ye are the salt of the earth.” His appeal for Christian labor for the Master was pointed, clear, and a conclusive master-piece of pulpit eloquence which swayed his hearers with a will and manner that always effect good in the development of better purpoe His sermon at night, theme—-‘’The Scarlet Line” was equally a triumph for the Gospel. Dr. Clinton is the kind of a preach ed that many of our pulpits in this country need for the redemption and reform of the sinner and the hypo critical and backsliding element in the church of God. We trust that the Bishop will come to see us again. We love him be cause he seems to be “the man.”— Knoxville (Tenn.) Hen aid. The large gathering of citizens who assembled on last Thursday even ing evidenced strongly their practi cal sympathy and support towards aiding in the celebration of an event that marks one hundred years prog ress of the A. M. E. Zion church. Letters full of kind expressions and congratulations were received from prominent' citizene, representing every denomination of Christians ; in fact it .was a reminder’ of the past struggles and progress of years ago, when the church with one ex ception occupied a stronghold in the lower part of the city. Zion M. E., corner of Church and Leonard streets; St. Phillip’s P. E., Centre street; Baptist, Anthony street; Shiloh Pres byterian, corner Prince and- Marion streets, A. M. E. Bethel in Second street controlled the spiritual well fare of our people. The years have produced many changes and the prog ress in the religious administration of affairs has kept pace with the spirit that inspires the American people. A banquet to be tendered to dis tinguished guests attending the cen tennial was suggested, and a citizens committee was formed, which grace ful act shows the true spirit of Christi anity and the era of fraternal fellow ship. The committee is composed as follows: President, E. V. C. Eato; secretary and vice-president, L. H. Latimer; assistant secretary, Geo. E. Washington; treasurer, J. F. Thom as; vice-presidents, J. W. Mars, C. M. Andrews, J. R. Braxton, F. E Barreau, F. H. Carmand, E. B. Dal ton, P. W.. Downing, Prof. R. T. Greener, Dr. W. M. Lively, C. H. Lancing, Jr., G. A. Manning, Dr. T. S. P. Miller, J. B.

They not only suffered the hardships of slavery but had indignities thrust up on them from within and from with out/ With but few exceptions, at the great house and on the farm, they were treated as cattle. They were allowed no privileges which a white face respected; not even in the church, the house of God, where it doth appear to me that all mankind, yes, all races, nations, creeds and col ors could bow and worship the ador able One without fear of molestation: the Negro was treated as if he had no soul within his tabernacle of clay, rie was circumscribed to that objec tionable part of the church known as the gallery, and when his soul was filled with rapture, as he feasted on truths divine, he dared not give vent to that ecstatic joy from above lest he be court-martialed ere high noon next day. Then, too, the sacramental board was too sacred for him to ap proach until the white folks had held close communion. What, flagitious, contemptuous freedom ! Though sub missive to the powers that be, a spirit for religious treatment awaken ed in the hearts of our fathers the de sire to shake off the thraldom of op pression and resent these indignities thrust upon them. Then it was that the great A. M. E. Zion Church in embryo came out of old John Street church in the city of New York. Some wise-acres deem ed the attempt but the spasmodic in spiration of the moment; but for ten decades the tendrils of this germinat ing religious plantlet have been pruned, cherished and nourished with prayerful vigilance until to-day, ac cording to church statistics, we num ber 470,023 members in full connec tion.—saying nothing of our thou sands of nominal Christians and Sab bath-school scholars, with over three million dollars worth of church prop erty. It is but fitting then that we should return’to our Mother Church to celebrate our Centennial. v What a glorious event and how thankful we ought to be to know that thousands who spent their lives in building up this grand old Connec tion and bequeathed to-us such a rich heritage now sleep beneath the silent sod while we can come from far and hear, yes, from Maine to California, from Canada to the Gulf, from the reefs of Florida to Africa’s burning shores, and assemble with gratitude and thanksgiving in our hearts for having been spared through all the vicissitudes of this ever-changing life to participate in the festivities of pur Centennial tide ! -We now stand on the threshold of the greatest event known among colored religious de nominations. ■ Oar forefathers were In tms great J ubilee, our women have not been overlooked; but have regularly appointed committees from each and every conference. Now if these several committees will bestir themselves and vie with each other in collecting and sending antiquities and relics with other exhibits and contributions to the bazaar, our most .sanguine hopes will be realized, and Zion will be crowned with honor and glory. It is to be hoped that our women have been thoroughly aroused to a sense of their duty along this line. Some time ago that tireless and indefatigable church worker—Miss Eliza Gardner, of Boston, Massachu setts, President of the Woman’s Aux iliary Board, issued a circular letter to all the Vice-Presidents of the Cem tennial corffenttees, setting forth an appeal for the proposed bazaar which will last twelve days during our great celebration in New York. I sincere ly trust that her appeal touched a responsive chord in each and every heart, and that much good may result therefrom, t In the various sub-centenniala now being held wherever Zion’s banner waves, may we hope |or one grand, united effort towards raising the pro posed one hundred thousand dollars as a Centennial thank-offering. It is to be hoped that no stone will be left unturned, no act left undone, no thought left unuttered, and no hand remain idle or motionless, that could touch one spring and set in motion the many spokes of that gigantic wheel, which, when revolving is suc cess. We are nearing the close of a centhry fraught with blessings innu merable ; and it is matter of no small impoit.
