Send for programs if yoi have not done so already. The New Jersey Conference led oi followed by the New England, thi New York and the Philadelphia an< Baltimore Conferences. We have just filled an order for i little V. C. E. in Plant City, Fla., fo: fifteen solid gold V. C. E. pin What do you think of that? Rev. J. H.

Look out for it, it i coming. President Colbert has been„relieve< from all pastoral obligations and ii in the position to assist in taking th,1 world for “Christ and the Church.' His headqaurters will still remain ii Washington, D. C , “doing busines at the old stand.” Let there be a V. C. E. Union of al of the V. C. E’s in every city o town where there are two or more lo cal V. 0. E. societies. Let the pas tors get together and decide upoi time and place of meeting. Call al of the V. C.

Several days thereafter will b< spent in visiting and encouraging th V. C. E. movement in the bounds o the Virginia Conference. The Varick C. E. Societies ar< pre-eminently missionary societie: and we desire to develop along thal particular line. Hence, we have de cided by the approval of the Boari of Bishops to turn all moneys comin; into the V. 0. E. Department fror any source whatever (over and abov the necessary expenses) into the Mis sionary Department of the Church By invitation of General Secretary J. W. Baer, of the U. S. Y. P. S. C E., we will b^ present and conduc the denominational meeting during the International Y. P. S. C. E. a Nashville in July- We are planninj to spend several weeks thereafter ii making official visits to the V. C E’s in that section. Any V. C.

The Varick C. E. Society neve makes any special assessments upo its members. “We couldn’t if w would, and we wouldn’t if we could, for we verily believe that we can ge more by donations and free-will oi ferings than we can by the assess ment system.

The- astute and far-sighted Bisho Pettey handed down the followin wise ruling at the recent session c the Philadelphia and Baltimore Con ference, to wit: “That all money paid out for any purpose whatever b any Y. C. E. society outside of il -own local interests must be done ur der the supervision and direction < the President of the Varick C. I Union.” We say Amen. We fea that hundreds of dollars are bein paid out by our V. 0. E. societies t irresponsible sources that ought to b t expended in the bounds of our < > :ns who expect to .repre V. C.

The Negro should not haste to arms in this w£,r between the United States and Spain, 1, because he has not had a chance to learn the tactics of war. 2. His burns and storehouses are empty, and he should Stay home as long as possible and take care of his family. 3. He has nothing to fight for un less it is fo:1 the exercise of his part of the constitution. We have Cu bans here without being advised to go hundreds of miles away with arms. I do not mean that the Ne gro should not love his country and its honor, lout he should stand sec ond-class i i battle. The Negro from the Revolutionary war on down to the Civil war has fought gallantly— in the first he fought for 200 years of slavery; in the last for a proclama tion minus freedom. The white man says to hin to-day, “You are not a man, 6ir, and you are to serve and take such punishment as I see fit to give you.” There ifi not much enoouragement to fight while the Civil Rights Bill remains unconstitutional. We are po litically disfranchised in many places, lynch law is king, and Jim Crow car is forced i pon us. Where is the Ne gro’s head? Liberty may have sup planted slavery, but I fear it has not supplanted the spirit and power of slavery. .There is no spoil in Cuba nor in the sea for the Negro. White soldiers object to marching andfight ing side by side in war with us. They are perfectly willing to be officers of colored military companies so that they can get the glory should the black boys win it. Let the Negro stop and t.hink and not rush too fast into battle unless he sees he is going to be tree ted better after it is over. Nebo, Kentucky. t BRIGHTER LIGHTS NEEDED. BY S. W. L. REAVES. it is “fc sweetest ly publii of $2.50, dred ti issued bound y We certainly have a good man and bishop in the person of Bishop Jehu Holliday. He is filled with the Holy fire and is not aehamed tc preach the gospel in any place and among any class of people. He if not afraid nor aehamed to visit the poor country churches and see what Zion is doing. He is not one oi those men who only follow the rail roads and go to the cities. A mar of his mt.ke-up is the kind of minis ter we need to spread Zion, espe cially in the North Arkansas Confer The moon cannot luminate the da; because the sun is the greater light, neither can a lamp luminate the day because it is a very small light. Tc luminate the cause of Zion her magnify ng lights must shine in the towns and in the country places, in the schools everywhere. We wanl presidin ? elders who will look after the interest of Zion as well as after the mighty dollar; who are willing like the pastor, to make a sacrifice ir order to lift up . a standard for the people.

There is nothing great in man but mind. By thia faculty apace is blot ted out and time annihilated.

In a moment, in the twink ling of at eye, this cherub of the airy deep leajs heavenward or hell ward, rejoicing in the happiness of the saved, or revolting at the horrors of the lost millions. It sweeps the track of lesser stars, pierces the orbits of the planets, the belted splen- j dors of Japiter, the golden rings of Saturn, visits “Arctus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the South,” £.nd wraps itself in the fiery sheets of the sun. It delights to flee through ‘The Milky Way” and the gem stufdded and constellated high ways of God. * * * * * The Devil is a powerful prince, a mighty king and a great captain with an empire of spiritual dark ness of immense proportions.
