MANAGER’S COLUMN. OUR SPECIAL ISSUE. We present to our generous sub scribers this week the faces of our Editors and employees in :he Pub lication House. We promised this special issue some weeks ago but one thing and another prevented our bringing it forth. We have a few extra copies of this issue which we would be glad to furnish to our agents provided they car dispose of them. To present the faces of our force is quite a pleasure to us s ince they are Colored workmen anc are giv ing such complete satisfaction along the line of the art preserva tive. With the machinery we have, together with the efficient force we carry, our House is pre pared to turn off work as quickly and as accurately as any colored establishment of the kind- in the world. What we need now is the pat ronage of the whole Chr rch and a fair contingency of the race. If the brethren would send us their matter through the mail to be printed, we could print it and re turn it to them about as soon and as cheap as they could get it done at their homes. The fact that we know nearly all our men makes it easy for us- to get the matter cor rect while, other printers, most of them white, do not know the names and titles of our men, and w7hat a horrible spectacle they present to the public some times. SETTLE UP, AGENTS. We fear we shall be placed un der the painful necessity of stop ping the packages sent no many of our agents. They will not settle up monthly as we ask them. Miss Chase of Providence, Mr. Chap man of Carlisle, Rev. Wakefield of Indianapolis and several others settle Up promptly, but some oth ers will not. Why net? If you have sold the papers then you are due us; 3 cents for each copy sold; if you haven’t sold them, then re turn the papers; if you can’t sell them, let us know. We think this but fair. The Department needs the money. If you will not settle and will not return papers or can’t sell them we will stop the papers and will not p rint the ex tra numbers for you, vrhich we are compelled to do in order to frunish you. Those who are two months behind and more will be promptly cut off after this issue. We could not secure the cuts of several of our employes, hence they do not appear, but we give you a brief sketch of their lives. MR. HENRY CARTER, FEEDER.

MRS SMALL’S CASE. [CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.] <7 (f a This case, however, and allsuch cases, are within purview of the presiding bishop’s authority, and unless he is inclined to do so, he need not call any other bishop to assist him, notwithstanding he can consult with any or all of the bishops on such matters. But that does not imply that the Board of Bishops is an appellate court. There are only four appellate courts known in our Discipline, and the Board of Bishops is not included. *Shippensburg, Pa. .

Refreshments in abundance. Every body invited. Admission free. AFRICA. BY MRS. A. M. STITT. Africa, dear Africa, The ancient home of our race. Why should we think in horror Of her again to grace? Afric’s shore I’d love to view, j If for only just one reason; ’Tis Simon’s home who bore the cross, For Christ, when accused ol: treason. Africa the modern Egypt— Ignorance is a bondage she^s under, Oh, why not be willing to do all we can To burst those bands asunder? She has no time to offer God A sacrifice of praise; Because her idols take her time, To them her children raise. Oh, were her children taught as ours— As though we were relation, Come out at least one day a year And work for Education. There soon would be a Livingstone Planted upon her soil, And ignorance be broken down By faithful earnest toil. i Oh! Where can we find a Moses, Who will his God obey ? When plagues come of every kind Look to Him, He is the way. Oh! Israel wake up, ’tis day, ’Tis time, begin to march, Pharoah.determines to keep-vou hear, And blockades every arch. Get your sandals and walking staff, Borrow jewelry from your neighbors; Which is the earnest Christian’s prayer, The earnest Christian’s labors. March on, ’tis only death to stay, Perhaps you’ll reach the goal And shout with a triumphant song, Praise God, Oh, praise Him, my soul. Concord, N. C. Rev. D. E. Best two Sabbaths ago raised $57.43 towards putting up his new church building at Biddleville, N. C. Rev. C. Fairfax on his return to Port Chester, N. Y., the fourth year was giv en a grand reception by his people. His work is on a boom. His ’.awn sociable recently cleared for the Sunday-school $57.59. With such a Star as you have given Zion I congratulate you. The 8-page was a long needed and is a decided im provement. Long may you live to write and defend the history and polity of our great Zion.— Rev. T. A. Weath ington, Montgomery, Ala. „ I offer my congratulations on the new dress of the Star which is a beacon light in my household. I long for its coming each week. God bless you, Editor Smith, in your work, and make the Star shine brighter and brighter until its rays shall penetrate in every Zion household and in every land where the flag of our Zion is unfurled to the breeze—Mrs. Nettie Brown, New •York City.

J, Hunter, J. J. Stubbs, W. R. Hunter, H. C. Chambers will be present and conduct it. Rev. N. B. Stelley, pastor. EYES OF JEALOUSY. BY MRS. REV. W. L. MOORE. Brother S. A. Chambers says there is no authority for the ordi nation of women. Our brother does not see through eyes of faith, but looks at Sister Small with eyes of jealousy. Now, I under stand that word “ordain” to mean to appoint, establish, to decree, in vest with ministerial or sacerdotal functions. So then Phoebe, Mary and many others were ordained. My dear brother, do not worry any more about the sisters, but help see after Zion’s property more than you do, then we will not have to ordain women. Boston, Mass.
