Will Present “Anne of Old Salem" at Bethel A. M. E. Church Monday Night.

Indianapolis, now having an organization composed of local dramatic talent, need no longer say that the Hoosier Metropolis is lacking in the iield of her culture among colored people. Most every city of size, especially those having a popufation of 40,000 or more Negroes, has an organization of this ^kind; The members of the Haliie Q. Biown Dramatic Club, a newly organized club, thought that it was time that Indianapolis should wake up and not lag behind the other cities. Indianapolis is a city of talent, but this question has often been asked: “Does her people appreciate those who are talented‘?’ 4 Many of our' artists go elsewhere saying that she does not. The dramatic club claims that Indianapolis delights in its home talent and that; it expects to prove it through the support of the public.

It is a very entertaining and delightful play presenting great opportunityfor Mrs. AdaCebolt who will take the title role and Noble Sissle who will be Rog:er Hardman, with the assistance of the other members of the caste to excite much favorable comment The dialogues are bright, and snappy are some of the features of the play. The following is the cast of the characters. Rev. Cotton Mather..O. vv. Langston Capt. Hardman John Johnson Roger Hardman Noble Sissle Nathan Ellmwell...John Montgomery Ezekiel Brown R. B. H.

□ The members of the First Free Bap tist church, in Colton street take pleasure in presenting to the readers of the Recorder the likeness of our pastor elect, W. S. Hodge. Dr. Hodge is not a stranger to us.' Nine years ago immediately after he had graduated from the Seminary he came to this state to take charge of the Free Baptist field at Terre Haute. The charge was somewhat 'disorganized, but with the co-operation of the members and friends of the church and the help of God he succeeded in this field until his wife became seriously ill and he was compelled to look after the interest of her health. Dr. Hodge has done succeesful work in different parts of the »Tate serving creditably in various relations and capacities. He has filled or occupied

every office both in the Quarterly and Annual bodies andjat present he is executive officer in the Quarterly conference and Yearly meeting. He was editor and publisher of “The Agitator” a neat and newsy little journal in the interest of the work in the Cairo Mission, be was principal of ^he Supplemental Bible school. ‘He is an orator and lecturer of rare accomplishments, an able preacher and a successful pastor. Wa have been able to secure his services as pastor of of our church and we feel that with the co-operation of the members and friends and the help of Gotl we will be successful. Wishing you all success and soliciting your prayers in our behalf we remain your co-workers, Members of Free Baptist church, Bessie Huddleson, Secretary.

At the State Convention held in Rockville, Ind , June 7, 8, 9, 1912., the convention elected me as State Chairman of the Rescue Bands to succeed Mrs. Mary Hunter, and accepting this of ttce 1 felt that the work organized uader the leadership of Mrs. Mary Hunter was so well organized that all that was needed from me was a notice as to the date of the Conventien which will be held at Bethel A.

Y. M. C. A. Notes. Mothei’* day was observed by the Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon at Zion Baptist church- An unusual large number of persons were in attendance to pay their respects to Mother. The program was splendiely arranged and well darried ont, each number having in it a thought of mother. It is a significant occurence when men will stop in their hurry of the 20thcentury and honor the woman who made possible their being. Not that it should not be continued, this honor to her, but thsi in a large national way she should have a day dedicated to her blessed memory. “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world” is just as truetoday as it was a thousand years ago. Tha intiuence of the vigilance of the cradle is still felt today, j Women can influence the power of | good government other than by the ballot, and that by inculcating into the encumbent of the crib, the r espect of womanhood, honesty and the law of the land in which they live. Sweet her smile, noble her aim for the babe; a sacraficing nature unfettered by a selfish love: an atmosphere of purity that belts the earth {with a hope thet reaches the city eternal where no feathered songster heralds the awakening of nature or tune their throats /or melodius sonnets These are attributes of a true hearted molher The first State Ocptorical contest of Indiana will be given here Friday evening May 30th at Bethel*A. M. E. church. Indiana University, Muncie, Ethical Culture and Y. M. C. will enter contestants. This promises to be the literary treat of ths season and the Association |is expecting a large attendance. Watch for the date of the Y. M. C. A. minstrel and the Kelly Miller lecture under the auspices of the Y M. C A.
