THANKS THE RECORDER.

Indianapolis Recorder, 236 West Walnut Street, City. Dear Mr. Editor: The election ' is over. I discovered that I was pretty well worn out with the work of the campaign and went away for two or three weeks of rest, but now that I am home, and before the echoes of the campaign of 1916 have subsided, I wish to offer a word of thanks and congratulations to the Republican editors of Indiana whose splendid service to the party has contributed so much to the victory won for the Republican cause in our own state in the election of Nov. 7. In the past I have been in a position to realize and appreciate the fact that our party in Indiana, has for a long time, been blessed with a high class of Republican newspapers and I do not mean to flatter at all when I repeat what I have often said that they have helped more than any other one agency to win the battles which the party has fought in the past campaigns. From the standpoint of a Republican who wishes to speak for the party as a whole, I congratulate and thailk you for the effective and intelligent help you gave in the last campaign, and for myself individually who have been the personal beneficiary of it all, I want you to know that I shall be forever grateful. Very sincerely yours, HARRY S. NEW.

A GREAT MEETING DECEMBER 14 TO 17.

. MIGRATION OF NEGROES. (Atlanta Constitution.) The migration of Negroes from Georgia to states north and east, and particularly from the southwestern section of the state, where the extent of it has been the greatest, has led to a well-advised concerted movement to check it for imperative industrial reasons. Loss of much of the state's best labor is one of the prices Georgia is paying for unchecked mob activity against Negroes often charged only with ordinary crimes. Current dispatches from Albany, Ga., in the center of the section apparently most affected, and where efforts are being made to stop the exodus by spreading correct information among the Negroes, say: “The heaviest migration of Negroes has been from those counties in which there have been the worst outbreaks against Negroes. It is developed by investigation that where there have been lynchings, the Negroes have been most eager to believe what the emi gration agents have told them of plots for the removal or extermination of the race. Comparatively few Negroes have left Dougherty county, which is considered significant in view of the j fact that this is one of the counties j in southwest Georgia in which a lynching has never occurred.” These statements are most significant. Mob law such as we have known in Georgia has furnished emigration agents with all the leverage they want; it is a foundation upon, which it is easy to build with a well concosted lie or two, and they have not been slow to take advantage of it. This loss of her best labor Is another penalty Georgia is paying for her indifference and inactivity in suppressing mob law. It Is one of many, but a serious one. In fact, so serious is it that the general assembly has several times legislated against emigration agents and put heavy license taxes upon them. It is only within recent years that these emigration agents have used and built upon the lynching argument. Lynching for causes less serious has been the outgrowth of mob execution for the one more heinous crime,* in connection with which many have felt there was justification for it. Mob activity has fed upon itself and grown from bad to worse, until it has become not only a social and moral, but a serious business problem. It is imperative that we get back to a basis of law and order, not half-heart-edly nor half-way, but wholly and determinedly. Georgia courts will convict and inflict prompt penalty in case of guilt, and particularly have they shown that purpose in dealing with those charged with assaults upon wom-

en. -

“Back to the law” is a slogan that should appeal everywhere upon purely a moral basis; but if it will not In sufficient force, then we are confronted now by the possibility of serious industrial calamity which must follow upon the removal of Georgia’s best and most satisfactory farm labor. ' The southwest Georgia! movement to stop the exodus of Negroes is a movement in the right direction. They are better off here than they could possibly be anywhere else, and those who have been tricked into going have discovered it to their sorrow.

First Baptist Church, North Indianapolis erected on this lot donated by him on the present location. The church was organized by Corinthian Baptist church, of which a few of them had been members.' After the church was erected and unable to call a pastor, Rev. Slaughter rendered his services and also Rev. Bassett being the pastor of Corinthian Baptist church, he would come out some Sunday afternoon and help also until they were able to call a pastor. Rev. Ferguson was the first pastor they called. The members all seemed to be enjoying the blessing of God, but the lack of money they would be unable to pay the mortgage off when the note came due. So Bro. John Jones saw that the note was almost due and they never had any money, he knew that he would lose his home and also the place of worship. He prayed and trusted God to help him get the money to save everything. Bro. Jones happened to get a good job and this also happened to be a good crop year. > He -went out into the field and shucked his corn and sold it. So when the time came that the note was due, Bro. Jones had enough money to pay off the note. From that time on the members struggled td get him paid back. While Rev. Ferguson was pastor he did what he could to make the church what it should be. The second pastor was Rev. Andrew Simmon. He also did a great work for through him the debt that they owed was all paid back except $30 and he donated it to them. The pastor and members putting God in front toiled along happily together until he sent in his resignation. The third pastor was called in 1900 which was Rev. Robdrt Gregory. Through this pastor and members they saw that we needed a larger church, so Rev. Gregory and the -members went to work and had the old church torn down and this one erected. Many souls were happily converted under his pastorate. The fourth pastor was then called which was Rev. Simmons again. He continued to do what he could until God called him home. The fifth pastor was called in 1907, which was Rev. Dunn. He did a great work and many happy souls were converted under this minister. When this church was built we never had a corner stone laid. So through Rev. Dunn it was laid in 1908. He offered his resignation. We then called Rev. Frank P. Young, our present pastor, whom God has sent among us. This is the ninth year. I cannot find words to praise him. He is a faithful leader. He is always ready and willing to teach us about our Savior. When our church doors are open he is always found at his duty. There is no night too dark, no day too cold that he finds for an excuse to come to the Lord house. He has always tried to lead us to live upright Christian lives and to often be found at the house of worship. He is a Christian gentleman, a good pastor. We should all be willing tonight to speak a word of praise to him. If we are not orators .we should wave our handkerchiefs and tell him to go on with his good w r ork, because we need such men as Elder Young in North Indianapolis. He is a faithful Sunday School worker and always takes an active part and in the rest of the auxiliaries. He never waits until the last minute to come to Sunday School. He is here in time to hear the beginning of our lesson and I can say for the Sunday School that we always love to see his smiles on Sunday morning. He takes great interest in the children and ev*ery Sunday morning he waits until after children’s band to see what they are doing. He loves little children and is trying all the time to teach them to love our Savior, for He is our only helper. He tries so hard to im press upon the old and young, there’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus, and that we need Him every hour. We should all treasure the good things every day that Elder Young teaches us. He is trying to teach us the right way God sent him among us. He has proved to be a Christian gentleman and being a hard worker has cleared the debt off our church. Our church has also been beautiful since he has been here and reseated. He has helped to raise many a dollar that we may not have raised. He has never spared no pains to take his own money to help raise any collection we were trying to raise in this church. He is a faithful pastor. He is always ready to try and elevate his people to a higher calling. Then sometimes he has been bruised because things were spoken that did not suit the whole congregation. But I can say here, gone on with your good work, dear pastor, because Christ was bruised and mangled. For there is a crown for you. I hope, dear pastor, you may live many years to come and continue to be our pastor. We hope and pray that God will be your helper, and that you and your family may live long and your good work go on. All of our pastors are dead except two. The charter members of the church were: Brother and Sister Ray, Brother and Sister Jones, Brother and Sister English, Brother Stockland, Brother and Sister J. Miller, Brother and Sister Goodrich, Brother and Sister Morse, Sister Montague, Bro. Austin, Brother and Sister Richardson, Brother and Sister Geo. Wash. Smith, Brother and Sister Webb, Sister Mallery, Bro. Teeters. The rest have been called to the great beyond. The first superintendent of our Sunday School was Bro. Lillard; second, Bro. English; third, Sister Gallation; fourth, John Jones, Jr.; fifth, Bro. Robertson; sixth, Bro. Frank Jones; seventh, Bro. W. W. Richardson; eighth, Frank Jones again; ninth, Bro. Virgil Jones, who has also done what he could by the help and aid of others. Our Sunday School bought this organ for $160 and once carpeted this church for $97.80, and also put the light into our church. So you see that the Sunday School has done a great work. A few of our members whom God has called to the great beyond. They are: Bro. Francis, Deacon; Bro. Willett, Deacon; Sister Lasman, Sister Robertson, Bro. and Sis. Richardson. Bro. Richardson was once the treasurer of our church; Sis. Sadie Jones, who was secretary, and many others who are waiting for our arrival.

-etPURE: •AIR 5^ How does the FarQuar heating: and ventilating system produce pure air in the house? There is nothing as cheap as air, and nothing as valuable. We can live three weeks without food, three days without water, three minutes without air. The FarQuar System brings into the house 3,000 cubic feet of fresh air every hour for every person in the house, and changes it every ten minutes. It is brought in over a firebox that is never made red-hot and is welded into one solid piece. « A warm air pipe and cold air vent are placed in each 100m, so a positive circulation is maintained. The movement of air within the room is rapid and positb v It exerts a force on your personal atmosphere that keeps it changing It draws tne breathed air from you and brings you fresh, live air for each suc« ceeding breath. Only a fraction of one per cent, of this air has passed near you before. One-third is from outdoors first hand. About two-thirds has been on a quick whirl through the house searching for the occupied room. This refreshes like running water. "FAR-QUAFT ! HEATING and VENTILATING GO.
