SHORTER CHAPEL’S NOTES.
Rev. Robert L. Pope, B. D., Pastor.
Our spring revival is now in prog
ress and already signs of showers of
blessing appear. Under the forceful
gospel sermons by Dr. J. P. Howard,
than whom the race has not produced
a more successful evangelist, increas
ingly large crowds are being drawn
to the meetings and already a num
ber of persons have been led to con
fess Christ and others, who were on
the back ground, have renewed their
covenant. The Billy Sunday cam
paign had a most wholesome effect
upon other races, but our people were
practically speaking, untouched. It
is hoped that the coming of Dr. How
ard to Denver will be the means of a
great shaking up of our people here
and will be the means of* adding to
the membership of all of our church
es. The Lord used Dr. Howard in a
most remarkable way in St. Louis,
Mo., where in a two mdmths campaign
more than three hundred persons
were received into the church. It is
our prayer that the Lord will accom
plish as much through him in Denver.
Dr. Howard's sermon topics for to
morrow will be as follows: 11:00 a.
m., “God’s Great Love." 8:00 p. m.,
"Repentance." Since a great outpour
ing of the public is expected at both
services, comfortable seats can be as
sured only to those who come early.
Our Easter rally will be concluded
tomorrow, when every member who
has not already complied fully with
his obligation, is expected to report
his assessment in full. Remember,
friends, that excuses are not negoti
able. If you want to put your officers
in position to pay off the church’s in
debtedness, you must make a sacri
fice. Be loyal to your colors. If you
are Red. stand by Mrs. Daniel H. Wil
liams, and if you are Blue, then rally
to the call of Mrs. Mattie F. King.

David E. Over, D. D., Minister.
Our series of gospel meetings
closed Tuesday night and Dr. Jones
left Thursday for Colorado Springs,
where he will spend Sunday, and then
on to the Pacific coast. Undoubtedly
the series has brought a great bless
ing to Zion in deepening the spiritual
life of the people. God used the ser
mons of Dr. Jones to search and sift
Zion as he has rarely done before.
Many have been brought closer to
the Lord and are prepared for a
closer walk than they have ever
known. Among those who came into
the church, twenty-five were received
for baptism.

terest and helpfulness.
The pastor will preach Sunday
morning from the subject, “The Word
of God.’’ All the friends are invited
to be present. The rite of baptism
will be administered at the close of
the service.

that the audience could have expect

THE COLORED CITIZENS’ LEAGUE
This organization, inaugurated on
April 6th, 1915, has the best interests
of the people at heart along indus
trial, commercial and political lines,
and In its declaration, pledges itself
with the support of the people to es
tablish strong, influential, clean, right
eous and practical ways and means to
assert our rights in accordance with
the law and ever strive to gain the
recognition which we merit as a
whole, but which is being forfeited to
us on account of the actions of some
politicians in our city.
There is at present among us a
class of men who have a peculiar ten
dency to turn every patriotic and
other public movement into some un
derhand political scheme to blindfold
the people and carry out their selfish
motives and desires. Such actions
should be discouraged and frowned
upon before they result in an open
disgrace, as those who are guilty pos
sess no honest interest in any cause
launched for the benefit of the race
and eventually sink to the element of
destructive agents who pride in doing
everything to impair the progress of
things constructive. It is getting to
such a state that even when a body of
citizens resolve to stamp out this evil
by calling a public meeting, represen
tatives of this unfortunate class will
appear in large numbers to disrupt,
annoy aud make unintelligible by their
continuous interruptions the proceed
ings of the meetings. The time is
therefore ripe when the community,
tiring of this action, should begin to
get rid of this class of people. If these
same persons who are so anxious to
further this immoral course would be
so zealous as to exercise the same
amount of honest care for the com
mercial, industrial and political inter
ests of their race by supporting race
enterprises with money and not wind,
establishing and patronizing business
houses contribting to the upkeep of
the church which helps spread civili
zation, and not enjoy in their present
unprofitable action the race would
come in for betterment in an ennobl
ing degree. No small clique of de
crepit politicians represents the pub
lic interest. They may have the right
to choose own course in politics,
but they should stick to politics and
not be forever trying to deceive the
public. No honest public movement
need lack for followers, because it
must first emanate from a trustworthy
source, go before the public on its
merits and not be the result of a pol
icy born in a night and brought to
light by some parasite. When our
men schemed let them scheme for
themselves. When they wish to be
patriotic let them get rid of their sel
fishness, get out of their narrowness
and work with preness of thought and
action for their race and country.
This the Colored Citizens’ League pro
poses to do and we trust may carry
out their plan successfully.
