NEW BOOK BV DR. DU BOIS.
Home Library !'«uea Valuable Work '
by Noted Scholar and Publicist.
The little volume entitled "The Ne-
gro," written by E*r. W. E. B. Da Bois,
editor of the Crisis, and issued by the
Home University library ef Modern
Knowledge, is the most scholarly a»d
accurate book on the Negro race in
early times in Africa that has yet been
written. The author treats his subject
in logical order from tbe beginning of
the race in Africa, through the vears
of its meanderings as tribal inhabit-
ants crude and unlettered, through the
slave trade to high culture and refine-
ment. Dr. Du Bois is very sure of the
fact that there are no definite lines of
separation for the various races. The
backwardness of the black race in Af-
rica the author attributes to the fact
that the interior of Africa did not fur-
nish sufficient protection from inva-
sion, as is true of those in the Nile val-
ley or in Europe.
As to Negro culture in Africa, the
book shows that at the time when Co-
Inmbus was discovering America a full
blooded black, Mohammed Askia. was
ruling over an empire as large as all
Europe. On his pilgrimage to Mecca
he was accompanied by "a brilliant
group of scholars and holy men, with a
small escort of 1,500 soldiers and $9,-
000,000 in gold. He stopped and con-
sulted with scholars and politicians
and studied matters of taxation,
weights and measures, trade, religious
tolerance and manners. The Univer-
sity of Sankore became a center of
learning in correspondence with Egypt
and north Africa and had a swarm of
black Sudanese students. Law, litera-
ture, grammar, geography and surgery
were studied."
The chapter on "African Culture"
tells of the achievements of African
Negroes as workers in iron, bronze,
copper, wood and pottery, recalling that
"Schweinfurth, Von Luschan, Boaz and
others incline to the belief that the
Negroes invented the smelting of iron
and passed it on to the Egyptians and
to modern Europe."
All this was swept away by tbe slave
trf de, says Dr. Du Bois, who estimates
that every slave imported to America
cost "five corpses in Africa or on the
high seas" and that the American and
Arabian raids together meant the
death, expatriation or forcible migra-
tion of at least 100.000,000 natives.
"And yet people ask today the cause of
the stagnation of culture in that land
since 1G00!"
Dr. Du Bois pays a glowing tribute to
the Negro race in America in the last
two chapters of his book. He believes
that the fifteenth amendment to the
federal constitution is our bulwark of
orotection and lauds the manly spirit
and courageous action of our Deople
during the reconstruction period follow-
ing the close of the civil war. The book
should be in every home for the in-
struction and inspiration which it is
s.ire to give to the youth of tbe ra^.

Interesting Account of 8«rvioee Ran
dened by a Native Tennasaeean Who
Has Risen to Prominence by Per-
sistant Effort—State Vice President
of National Baptist Convention.
St. Louis, Mo.—There are many able
men in the Baptist church who have
contributed to the moral, intellectual
and spiritual uplift of the race and
who are still doing good work. Among
those who are leading in this section of
the country for the denomination may
be counted the Rev. Dr. S. A. Mosely,
pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist
church in this city. He is an active
worker also in the National Baptist
convention.
The Rev. Mr. Mosely was born In
Franklin. Tenn., but while yet In his
early youth his parents moved to Nash-
ville, where the young boy got the ben-
efit of a common school training. Fin
ishing the grades, just then his parents
moved to Helena, Ark., where his
father purchased a farm. He desired
to have his son finish school, so he sent
him to Southland college, which 1s
about nine miles from Helena. After
five years of diligent study young
Moseley graduated from what was then
known as the "high normal" course.
He felt tbat he should pursue a still
higher course, and in the fall of 1881 he
entered Roger Williams university. He
took his place among the best students
and himself became the leader of his
class. After three years of good, solid
work he graduated with honors and |
entered the educational field. During.
all of this time he had been active In
the ministry and had made a splendid i
reputation as a preacher. j
Mr. Mosely felt that he owed some-:
'hing to the young people, the boys !
and girls theu struggling for an educa
tion. so he returned to Arkansas and
took up the work of teaching. He
was called to the Baptist church at j
Newport. Ark., and at the same time :
was elected principal of the high <
school in the same town. He held this
position for ten years and resigned to
accept a position at the head of the
school in Searcy, where he taught four .
years. . |
As the work of the ministry became
more exacting upon his time Dr. Mose-
ly resigned school work in 1898 and
went to Pine Bluff to take charge of
the St. Paul Baptist church, where he |
remained sixteen years, rendering
great service to the people of the com-
munity and the chnrch, to which he
added many new members. Dr. Mose-
ly did not confine his work to Pine
Bluff alone, but readily served his
people anywhere in the state when
needed. He was side by side with the
promoters of the educational work in
the state and assisted in organizing
the Arkansas Baptist college, con-
tributing largely to Its support-
Recognizing his worth to the work,
he was made secretary of the educa-
tional board and a trustee of tbe col-
lege, which positions he held up to
1914, when he resigned to begin work
In St. Louis. He has entered heartily
into the work in Missouri, and his
leadership is widely felL In the na-
tional Baptist convention he Is a ]
strong factor. For twenty years he j

youngster is a musical genius and even
now jterforms on the violin with a skill
and technique which some older per-
formers might well envy.
Young Butler's father, who is an in-

ment. will have general supervision of s
his studies, while Professor Mannes
will give him the benefit of his wide
knowledge of the king of instruments
and the instrument of kings.
Master Bill will probably need a little

when moral suasion fails. "I predict a

tion from Arkansas. He has presided
during some of tbe important sessions
of the convention. Especially did he
play an important part during the re-
cent session in Chicago.
During tbe most heated discussion
Dr. Mosely was in the chair and dis-
played great executive ability, as well
as showing himself to be a parliamen-
tarian of Speaker Reed's order. He
was time and time again commended
for his sensible ruling. Perhaps there
is no man in the Baptist rank who is
working harder to adjust matters than
he. He has the confidence of tbe peo-
ple. Several calls have been extended
to him recently by churches of the de-
nomination.
