EMPHASIZES ABSENCE OF CHRIST IN AFRICA IN MISSIONARY TALK

"One-half of the -world has no Christ" was the fact emphasized by Willis S. Rowe of Victoria Falls, Africa, in a stereopticon lecture at Grace M. E. church Sunday afternoon. Mr. Rowe, being a returned missionary from the African fields, was able to point out and explain the situations which actually exist among the Africans. Aslsted by a good assortment of slides, Mr. Rowe brought a valuable message before his large audience. Delegates from Methodist churches of Richmond and surrounding towns attending the meeting were: First M.

E. church, Grace M. E. church, Third M. E. church, Boston, Centerville, Cambridge, Chester and Webster. "A great field is open for Methodist missionary work, especially in Africa, which is by far the largest nation and the nation needing missionary work the most. Over 21,000,000 heathens are in this land awaiting the missionary work of the Methodists and we are not touching more than one in 1,000 of the 21,000,000. "Three million heathens are in one

section of Africa, and only seven meth-i l -' , i . . : 1 i it. t. '

t'uipi missionaries m e ueianeu iu nun j enormous group. All these facts should emphasize the necessity for activity on the part of Methodists in this country to advance the mission work in Africa." Heathen Conditions Prevail Mr. Rowe stated that many pictures which he had taken were unfit to be shown cn account of the heathen conditions under which many of the Africans lived. lie said that the average African ate from one bowl with his lands, and that the task of washing dishes never presented itself to the naVves. "Women do all the work in Africa, Parry wood, water and food back to the home for the comfort of the husband. Sometimes the women make trips of five miles for a jug of water and carry it back on their heads. "The Methodist church does not know of the conditions in Africa and that Is the reason for my showing to you the actual facts which exist in this country. If Methodists were to begin with vigor and try to do real mission work to the African heathen, within a short time they would be on Christ's side and living Christian lives." Mr. Rowe concluded that, for successful mission work to Africa the missionaries must be equipped with

the necessary tools and funds to advance the work in the African fields, even more extensively than before to bring the people to a Christian life.

WILLIAMS, COLORED

COMEDIAN, IS DEAD NEW YORK. March 6. Bert Williams, the famous colored comedian, died Saturday night at his home here of pneumonia. He had been in failing health more than a year. A few

days ago he collapsed on the stage inj

Detroit and was compelled to quit tne company presenting "Under the Bamboo Tree." He was brought to New York, and blood transfusion was tried in a vain effort to save his life when a crisis came, but he failed to rally. WTilliams, who was 46 years old. came to this country from Nassau, British West Indies, when a child. He worked at odd jobs about New York theatres in his youth, and after serving an enlistment in the United States army went on the stage. He began

JEWS TO CELEBRATE PURIM MARCH 14

The mirthful feast of Purim will be celebrated in Jewish circles this year on Monday evening, March 14. While a haliday of a minor character, its use of the scroll of Esther has endeared the festival to the Jewish people who make it an occasion for popular rejoicing. The services for this festival are wholly concerned with the reading of the story of Esther, which, from time to time, assumed a more prophetic character and forevisioned, in part, the checkered career of the Jews. On this day the Jewish people remember the miraculous redemption

wrought for their ancestors by the loyalty and devotion of Mordecai, uncle of Queen Esther, whose fidelity to his king and country made possible the rescue of the king from the hands of plotters. Purim has always been the occasion for mirthful celebrations in Jewish

Police Court News

ORDERED TO VACATE "Ordered out of city," is the entry

which appears on the police blotter after the name of F. D. Harrington and John Knight. The pair was arrested; at the corner of Eighth and South B; streets at 5:45 o'clock Sunday after-' noon, on a vagrancy charge. j PAYS SPEEDING FINE i A. H. Lewellen paid a fine of $1;

and costs on a speeding charge, brought against him Sunday. FINED FOR INTOXICATION W. B. Hamilton, arrested late Saturday on a charge of intoxication, pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $1 and costs.

I That the recent clash between Sir George Younger, leader of the British conservative secessionists, and Premier David Lloyd Geotge, leader of the coalition government, is not merely a personal clash but a symptom of the struggle on the part of the three leading political parties. Conservative, Liberal and Labor, to abandon the coalition system, is the viewpoint now of British politictl critics. Sir George Younger recently launched an open revolt movement against Lloyd George and his policies. The premier has made it plain that either Sir George must recede from his position or England will have a new premier. Lord Birkenhead, Austen Chamberlain and

Winston Churchill, supporting the premier, have made futile efforts to date to iron out the differences and avert such a crisis as the resignation of Lloyd George would bring about.
