Chicago is a wonderful city, It is j

at the head to promote and see vis- i
Chicagoans believe thoy can do j
.-everything save putting breath in "
man. They have everything available
for man's need. Chicago has what ]
no otbercity can boast of?the biggest ]
diversified pay-roll in the world, a ;
pay-roll of millions of dollars monthly
attracts the learned, the Unlearned, the _
young and old, the skilled and' unskilled,
the sick *and blind and even
skilled the sick and even the blind
t ^ and
what not come from every nook

place in the world seeking employ;

i manufacture district in *he world,

l embracing hundreds of necessai'ies
! such as seel, furniture, clothing, meats

material; Where one line slows down
the other gains,, "for it is .an ill wind .
that blows no one any good."

Chicago has^the largest Railroad
center in the world. You*can all
kinds of way, anytime you care to;
more trains go out of and enter Ch1~~

Every ten minutes you can catch a
train to some point.
The schedule of the street car is
every three minutes and they run all

?-Education ?
Chicago is a long ways ahead of 1
" Srmth~C;rrolhia when it 'cbme's_fo~education.
They have a compulsory educational
law. AH" school books are""
furnished free by the school authroity."
When a-patrop claims he or she is
dependent upon her boy or girl, for a
living, after investigation,- the city
pays him or her-a monthly salary and""
continue that boy or girl in school.
They say that they, have the best .
of schools in America and the best
"of teachers. But great as Chicago /
ii LinriKs sne is. tnere is a vacuum in her .
educational lines, she does not teach .
Negro manhood or womanhood.
Many do not beliove that a Negro |
is qualified to teach in" Chicago and :.
the result is their graduates are most- :
ly porters, janitors, hotel waiters and j
tho like.?Wo .admit there are uome
wealthy Negroes^here jvho are doing j
1 busniess, if you inquire about their
nativity, they were born in the g'ood
old South, got their foundation from j
Southern .Schools and put a little'
1 polish on ih these schoots~of Chicago.
- Take?att?thet prominent-, churches
of Chicago, ...their pastors are from
1 the South, the few doctors and lawyers
heye are" from the South and
. nearly every position that is worth !
mentioning are held by men and
' women from the South. But worse of
all, a good i many of these colored
i folks. -ik> not want colored teachers
1 and if these^ Negroes didn't have a

HE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND _

A word is a sign of ah idea, and an
ggrogatio'n of relative words prouoe

11 the languages, but since the Engi.-h
language is more generally oised
t must play a very important part
n tho preaching of the Gospel. The

A ministry that will be effective '
ivust be a ministry that .must regard .

vhich the" God idea must reach his _ ___

voids'to express a. thought, but?mi- * ,

md the anticipated thought is lost.
"here can be Yio" excuse" for a minisif
the Gospel not 'knowing his language
enough' to?properly express
lirtrself. He" may not know all the
ciencCk and arts, but he should he
