THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXI NO. 42 Urges That Northern Capitalists Help Negroes to Buy Farms In The South REAL CONDITIONS ARE NOT KNOWN Mr. Wilbur Says They are Worse Now Than They Were 50 (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Rosedale, Pa., June 12.—Henry W. Wilbur, secretary of the Friends General Conference of Philadelphia, proposed at the session of the Progressive Friends of Longwood, that as a solution to the race problem in the South Northern capitalists should buy land in blocks and sell it to colored persons in the Southern States. He also advocated that the same moneyed interests should purchase mortgages held on farms and homes owned by the colored population and let. its members pay the mortgages off at legal rates of interest. Mr. Wilbur deplored the lack of proper school facilities in the South. He explained he recently returned from a trip to Georgia and Alabama, where, he said, he found colored persons were given scant educational opportunities. He recommended a back to the farm movement as the best salvation for the colored element, because the political habilitation of the colored man depends on making him a self-respecting tiller of the soil. "The people in the North cannot appreciate the race problem in the Southern States, where there are three times as many colored persons as there are whites," Mr. Wilbur continued. "The colored race should be the dominant faction, but they are submerged by the remaining one-third. The race question is intensified in the South and right here in Chester county, by the tendency of the whites to measure the entire colored people by a few bad colored persons." Mr. Wibur pointed out that the colored race as a whole is hardly any better off in the North and South than it was before the Civil War. as colored men and women are still excluded from filling high positions. Such a condition exists now because the nation did not have the conscience to settle the slavery question in a peaceable way, but solved the problem by force, leaving sores which will not be healed for many years, he remarked. In conclusion, he declared that the future of the colored race lies on the farm, for the reason that the influx of colored laborers in the cities have created a system of vagabondage that paralyzes both white and colored people. Mr. Nearing spoke on "The Present Wage Scale." He told the farmers they are dependent on the city residents for the things the former need. Although the farmers may not pay higher wages to their help, they are forced to meet high prices for farm implements and certain kinds of foon products. He observed that persons living in cities are underfed, underclothed improperly housed and are degraded as the result of the present wage system. He amazed his listeners when he said the best argument for race suicide lies in the fact that each child added to a city family of a husband, wife and two children means poverty and reduces the income of each person in the average wage earner's household. Washington, June 12.—Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, former Auditor for the Navy at Washington who was recently elected national organizer for the National Nergo Business League, has entered upon his duties, and is now on a tour in the South, visiting several cities in the interest of the League. During June Mr. Tyler's itinerary includes visits to each of the following cities: Montgomery and Birmingham, Alabama, Atlanta, Georgia; Greenville and Charlotte, North Carolina; Danville and Lynchburg, Virginia; Cumberland, Salisbury and Baltimore, Maryland, and Wilmington, Delaware. During July he will visit Newark, East Orange, Atlantic City and Jersey City, N. J.; Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pa.; Wheeling, Charlleston and Huntington, W. Va.; Lexington, Frankfort, Louisville, Owensboro, Henderson and Madisonville, Ky.; and Indianapolis Ind. The two weeks prior to the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League in Philadelphia will be spent by Mr. Tyler in Philadelphia cooperating with the Local League of that city in preparing to entertain the National Organization August 20-22, 1913. DR. HOPKINS ELECTED TO CITY COUNCIL Wins out Over Three white Competitors By Plruality of Sixty-Four (Special to The Afro-Amertcan Ledger.) Wilmington, Del., June 12—Dr. John O. Hopkins was elected a member of the City Council from the Sixth Ward last Saturday, by a plurality of 64 votes over his Democratic competitor. He received 579 votes. There were three white men in the field against him. The vote was light, only 1,149 of the 1,700 voters in the ward casting ballots. There are 800 colored voters in the ward. The Republicans succeeded in reelecting Mayor Harrison Howell and will control the City Council. Dr. Hopkins is a member of the firm of Hopkins and Banton, druggists. He is a native of Chestertown, Md., but has resided here nearly all of his life. He was educated at the Howard High School, this city, and the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, graduating from the latter school in 1906. He also runs the only colored moving picture theater in the city. The late Thomas Postles is the only other colored man that has served in the City Council. Miss Truxon Resigns Princess Anne, Md., June 12. Miss Helen M. Truxon has resigned her position here as teacher of domestic science at Princess Anne Academy to accept a like position at Delaware State College, Dover, Del., during the summer session. Miss Elvira M. Molson will take her place. Rev. Jackson Highly Regarded Cumberland, Md., June 7.—The populace here is still talking about the forceful sermon against dancing and the amusement craze delivered by Rev. J. D. Jackson, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Mr. Jackson has been in charge of the church for the past eight months, and his work here as a minister is highly regarded. He is in frequent demand to deliver sermons to various fraternal organizations. BOURBONS URGE SEGREGATION South Is In The Saddle At The Capital of The Nation. WANT RACES SEPARATED IN DEPARTMENTS. Whites Object to Working in the Same Room With Colored Persons Persons Washington, June 21—The apostles of disfranchisement and jim crowism intoxicated by the fact that many Democrats living in the South, as well as some of those who have gone North and West, have been given prominent federal positions, are now gunning after the smaller ones held by the race. They are following the lead of Attorney General McReynolds, who forced the resignation of Assistant Attorney General Lewis because, it is said, the white South would not stand for his continuance in office and of the so-called Democratic Fair Play Association. Southern Democrats of both sexes have sunk their so-called pride in their alleged superiority to accept appointments in government service. Some worked uncomplainingly in offices where wired appointees performed similar service. Now that the party is again enjoying a period of ascendency after 16 years idleness, they are becoming assertive. It is repugnant to their alleged pride for colored and whites to work together under Ucle Sam, and they want the world to know that the apostles of disfranchisement and jimcrowism would absolutely rule the roost. First, they attacked Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds, for not segregating the employers in his office, and then it was suggested that Register of the Treasury Napier be made to segregate his staff. Now comes a congressman from Louisiana. Aswell, who has introduced a bill to separate the races in the departments and in the railway mail service. The bill provides that colored and white be not allowed to work together, except in cases of extreme emergency and that in no case shall a white person take orders from a colored superior. The bill does not prohibit whites from being placed over colored employers. "The bill seeks to help the Negro by making him proficient in his own sphere and by correcting a false idea of his proper circum-scribed position in the republic, and, at the sametime relieve the white man in the public service from the intolerable humiliation of being compelled, in order to earn his daily bread, to work side by side with an objectionable people, the continuation of which practice must result in irre-prorable injury to both races and ultimately destroy the efficiency of the public service. Such practices will drive the self respecting white man and woman from the civil service of the government." Segregation reached a high mark under the previous administration, but there are some who count on it to break all records. The situation is even distressing to the Colored Democrats who have been hopeful that their party would give official recognition of the Afro-merican followers of the party of Jefferson and Jackson. REV. DR. W. DISHOP JOHNSON. Custom Officials Clear the Starlight's Captain from All Blame Captain George W. Brown, of the Steamer Starlight was completely exonerated from any blame for the recent grounding of his vessel at an investigation at the Custom House last Friday. Several weeks ago the Starlight had a party of white excursionists on board, including a Washingtonian. Some of the party asked Captain Brown to run up into a little inlet. He told them that the tide was rather low for such a trip, but the whites insisted. He went and the vessel at length got stuck. After an hours delay she was pulled off by a tug. The Washingtonian on board the boat made charges to the Secretary of Commerce of Labor regarding the efficiency of Captain Brown. If the charges had been proven he would have probably lost his license as a pilot. About 15 of the whites who were in the party, which included several prominent Baltimoreans, told the Custom House officers that Captain Brown was in no way to blame for the vessel's becoming stuck. They praised his ability as a commander also. It was brought out that the Washingtonian had charged the delay was several hours more than the facts warranted. It was also noted that the City of Baltimore was aground the same day for several hours. Captain Brown is said to have been the first pilot around Maryland who has ever been cited to appear before custom officials because his boat got stuck, and there have been many such instances. The Washingtonian will most likely have to defend a suit for damages that Captain Brown is being urged to institute. Baltimoreans Married Chicago, June 12. - Cards have been issued announcing the marriage in this city of Miss Grace Lucretia Hardy to Dr. John Gaither Day. Both are former Baltimoreans, having graduated from the Colored High School in that city. They will reside in Toronto, Canada, where the groom will open an office. H. M. Gross, President A the annual meeting of the Educational Association of this city, the following officers were elected: H. M. Gross, president; Ada Thompson, vice president; Annie F. Simth, secretary; Wm. Anderson, corresponding sc retary; Mazie Key, treasurer. PRICE THREE CENTS NEW ENGLAND BAPTISTS IN SESSION W. BISHOP JOHNSON ELECTED PRETIDENT. Over One Thousand Delegates And Visitors Are In At- Washington, June 12—An address of encouragement by Senator Moses Clapp, the annual address of the president, the Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, and an educational rally tonight were among the features of the opening day of the thirty-ninth annual session of the New England Baptist Convention today at Cosmopolitan Colored Baptist Church. The convention is composed of Colored Baptist Churches in the Midde Atlantic states, and is being attended by nearly a thousand delegates At the opening session addresses of welcome were delivered by Dr. J. Tindall, secretary of the Board of Commissioners; the Rev. I. N. Ross, Alexander Wilbank, S. P. Drew, and Miss Nannie Burroughs, principal of the National Baptist training school for girls. The Rev. J. C. Love made the repsonse. Senator Clapp gave an outline of the progress that the white race has made during the past thousand years, praised the Negroes for the progress made by their race during the past 50 years, and urged a discriminating use of the baljot. The Rev. Mr. Ross urged that the Negro cultivae manhood and courage. The annual sermon was preached by the Rev. W. P. Hayes of New York city. He declared that the principles of real Christianity were the only panacea for the ills of the world. At the educational rally to night Dr. R. C. Woods, principal of the Virginia theological seminary, and college at Lynchburg, made a plea for the higher education of the Negro. Dr. Woods, in his address urged that the race do things without securing the approval of the white man. He declared that white men did no seek the approval of colored men in doing things for their race. He told an instance of Rev. Harvey Johnson, of Baltimore, telling a white book agent that he was not concerned about the prominent white men that had endorsed the volume which the book agent wanted to sell, but that he wanted to know what prominent colored men thought about the book. Rev. D. D. Turpeau, of Baltimore, made a plea for cooperation in the fight against the saloon. Dr. William A. Creditt, of Philadelphia, gave an outline of the work that the Downingtown, Pa., Industrial school is doing for the Negroes of his state, and the Rev. Dr. W. Bishop Johnson urged that the convention attempt a larger line of missionary and educational work. Following the announcement of the various committees, Dr.Credititt who served your years as president of the Convention, was presented a diamond studded locket the gift of the convention. The presentation speech was made by the Rev. J. Love, of Plainfield, N. J. Dr. Credititt made a fitting response, declaring that he was intensely interested in everything that made for the uplift of the Negro, and that men and women with the (Staff Correspondence.) desire to work for the general well fare of the race were needed. The Convention elected the following officers: Revs. W. Bishop Johnson, president; W. P. Lawrence, vice president; F. J. King, recording secretary; W. A. A. Harris, corresponding secretary; J. Hunt, field secretary; and R. D. Wynn, treasurer. Rev. John H. Taylor, president of the Maryland Colored Baptist Convention was elected vice president for Maryland. N. B. Dodson, who edits the Afro-American page of the American Press Association, heads the Sunday School auxiliary for the sixth successive term. It was decided to raise $10,000 to established a Baptist College in New Jersey. Nashville, Tenn., June 10.—This city, supposed to be one of the fairest in the South with regard to the treatment of Negroes is cursed with a Jim crow system to be found in no other section of the country. The L. & N. Railway is the one railroad which it is said, refused to provide anything approaching decent accommodations for colored people. No smoking car is provided for the colored people and both men and women ride in cars where smoking is bieng done, no provision being made for the men to smoke. They are compelled to use the same toilets, and in addition to these inconveniences, they are compelled to lay full fare just as other passengers do for these inadequate accommodations. The train leaving Nashville for Birmingham early each morning is a disgrace to this railroad. The plans and purposes of the National Association for the advancement of Colored People were told by its secretary, Miss May Childs Nerney, of New York city at a largely attended meeting, held under the auspices of the local branch at the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday afternoon. Dr. F. N. Cardoza, presided. Miss Nearney told of the work that the association is doing to combat race-proscriptive laws, ferret out lynching in arranging to test the "grand father clause in the Oklahoma election law is scheduled for a hearing in the United States Supreme Court, next September, and that Moorfield Storey, the well-known Boston lawyer will make the real onslaught against the measure. She said that the association was engaged in raising a fund for the employment colored and white attorneys in securing evidence against those who mistreat the race, as well as in testing laws that discriminate against the race. She gave a number of instances where colored men and women are making-success in various lines of endeavor, mentioning a Miss Randolph who was doing exceedingly well for wealthy New Yorkers, and the fact that the adverizing agent for the Southern Pacific Railroad was a colored man. The local branch unanimously decided to subscribe $100 toward the defense fund. Cambridge Notes Cambridge, Md., June 12.—Mr. Thomasa Miles, Jr., has returned home after spending two weeks in Atlantic City. Miss Edith Raphael left Thursday for New York, where she will spend the summer. Mr. Russel Maloney, a student at Delaware State College, is visiting his uncle Dr. S. E. Maloney. Mrs. Harriet Henson, died last Saturday. SUNDAY SCHOOL .

Church Mon- day night. Strack by the need for knowledge of the facts about the Negro in business and the trades, the Manu- al Training Teachers’ Association has been engaged this year in a census of Negroes so engaged in Baltimore. William L. Fitzgerald emphasized the imporiance of cooperation for mutua! benefit, the opportunity for the young colored men in thecom- mercial world,and the necessity for investment of capital in Negro business enterprises. Mrs. Roberta Creditt as a repre- sentative of the colored woman in business, showed the large number of side lines which are connected with the millinery trade, raking it possible to extend the business throughout the whole year instead of merely running two seasons of six weeks. She brought assurance from prominent wholesale millinery.firms that they would employ colored girls if a sufficient number of com- petent ones were supplied. Melvin Braxton, in charge of a large engineering plant in this city, asserted strongly :the oppor- tunity of the well-trained Negro skilled mechanic. ‘‘We have no Folytechnic and no Maryland Insti- cute for our boys’’ said he; and argued that we should contribute if necessary to start such a school with private means, and thus show our determination. The result, he pointed out, would be to attract: fa- vyorable attention and the financial assistance necessary. Samuel T. Harris told of his suc- cessful uphill fight to obtain recog- nition asa plasterer, and of the successful work completed in many: houses of Baltimore. William H. Dodd stirred up the parents for failing to insist on their boys learning a trade and pointed out Jessons from the thrift of the dew, Rey. Dr. Harvey Johnson warned those present not to underestimate the obstruction ef race prejudice, and exhorted all present to join in a tremendous protest against any diserimination against Negroes in any trace. : J. Clarence Chambers presided. Mr. Brooks in his address said: “Some industries are represent- ed not at all or very meagerly. dust now, millions of dollars ave being spent for plumbing ;thousands, being spent by Nesroes. How much isgoing to the Negro plumber. How much of the millions being spent for sewers and paving is go- ing to the Negroes in the skilled trades? “We find that the cuolorgd man is rarely training his child to know the trade he knows; that the trades that the Nergo practically had con- trol over are in many cases dying ont with the old generation that practised them in slavery; that only uwe ar there evlored men and we- men have gone from our schools zo joarn the prineiptes cf business epgretion und to bring (heir expert Knowledie back tu Dultimore to aid us in gaining a footneld in higher skilled cocapations. “We tind that with nearly 108,- 009 colored peovle in Baltimore, that we bave in the high school tak- ing the full busitiess course only i9 pupiis, and in the courses pre- paring directix for the trades only about 15 boys and about 45 girls. These courses, however, show their practical value in the only to trades really adequately presented (Print- ing and Dressmaking) in that ihe students are often able to make a living before finishing the course by working after school hours; and, almost without exception, the grad- uates are successfully employed at their trades and even running their own establishments. _..

Well, a few movths ago the rich white man decided that he wouls sell it and move to another part of the country, so Mr. Hays. stepped fup with the money and said he would buy, and he bought it too. He put down ‘‘In God We Trust,” and followed the papers which con: ‘veyed the property to ‘Thomas H. ‘Hays and his.heirs and something: else ike that. He now lives in one of the finest houses owned by our people in this country. His wife is the queen of the mansion, and ison2 of the best women of our race. 1 walked out and looked at the fine barn which he is now having erected.

It was. one of the finest that was ever pulled through the south. On -beard, I found Rey. R..H. Boyd, Dr. C. H. Clark, Prof. R. B. Hudson, J.D.

We were told to jget ready for “breakfast, but 1 j thought that there was something wrong about eating at Boonville, | beeause just. atew davs ago they {declared that my people could not live in that: town, and if they were |going to atterept-to feed us there I would not eat. The agent return- ed and said that the manager of the hotel said he did not have food enough to feed so many and we would have to wait until McAlister was reached. The manager of the hotel in MeAlister, wired that it was “Home seekers day,’’ and he could not take care of such a crowd. “Home seekers or no home seek- ers, you will have to take care of these people,” was the answer sent over the wire. ‘‘The M. K. &¥., had made the promise, and would be required to stand up to their contract. This was the repre- sentative of the Rock Island talking to the M. K. &T., and he said it was entirely up to the ‘*Katy’, and he felt all would be well. Just a few minutes before 12 o’ciock McAlister: was reached, and we all got out. The dining room was in readiness for the crowd, and it seemed that all the. people in town were there to see our peo- ple eat in that big room. It is the first time in the history of Me- Alister that we had ever been fed in that room, and our people were just all proud of it. We were ajl satisfied, and there was no getting away from it. Every man paid his bill, and walked out. The meal cost $50, for there were at least one hundred of us and we paid 50 cents each. Now we are in Muskogee, and the Congress has been a. great suc- cess. Fully a thousandsipeople met our special at the stable, when we arrived, and marched directly to the convention hall where the meeting was to be held. It was a Great sight ta see 1200 men and women marching through the streets singing ‘‘Onward Christi- an Soldiers,’’ accompanied. by a brass band. The people put ap their work and walked out to see what was going on. As old as 1am, I was in the crowd keeping up with the rest, and [ was glad to be there. With my bandana, I kept time with the rest, and thanked God that he had placed me in your race. I was going down the street,. and one hayseed asked me ‘‘Where did all you tine looking ‘niggers’ come from. I use to own your people once."’ ‘‘I thank you for the information,’ I replied, ‘but you will never own us again. These are just ladies and gentlemen who are: here to transact business for the Lord.”” Isaid nothing else to him, but turned my attention to other mat- ters.

These segregationists must see a Negro ghost every night when they go to bed. Purchase a ticket for the Provident Hospital Fund, and you will do a good thing, one of the best you have ever done. And now our friend Mr. Deshields, whom we believe owns not a dollars worth of property on McCulloh street wants to get out an injunction to prevent colored folks from paying property on that street. Take him out officer, he's all cut up. In Philadelphia recently a man stole a million and a half dollars and on agreeing to restore the money was set free. The court finding him not guilty. In the same city a poor woman was caught stealing a small sum of money and was sent to the penitentiary. Thus the big fish break through the net and the little ones get caught in the meshes. If ever there was a miscarriage of justice this was one. Of all the white ministers of this city, not one has had the nerve to say a word against the segregation agitation now going on save Rev. Dr. Steffins of South Baltimore. We honor Dr. Steffins and can only say we wish there were a few more ministers in Baltimore who had the spirit of the Master in them. There is something radically wrong with the white man's religion that calls for mending in some way. A great deal of the oppression of the colored folk comes from the fact that the white folks do not believe that the colored folks have either the ability or the strength to fight back. Nearly everyone is familiar with the story of the Southern Congressman and the late Joe Gans. Both of them were in a Pullman car and the congressman threatened to wipe up the floor of the car with the "nigger" unless the conductor removed him from the car. But when the fact was made know to him that the "nigger" was the famous little prize fighter, there was nothing more said about wiping up the floor. Because the white man has the opportunity of oppressing the colored man he takes advantage of his opportunity simply because he does not believe the colored man will strike back. In consequence we have to put up with disfranchisement, jimcrowism, seggregations and all kinds of oppression that from time to time come into the white man's head. When the colored man shall have learned to do as the white man does under similar circumstances, strike back, he will learn that the white man will have more respect for him and there will be less wiping up of floors. In another column will be found a special letter to this paper in reference to the Louisville and Nashville railroad and its treatment of its colored passengers. The writer knows something of this road and its treatment of its colored passengers, for he has had an "apple out of that same barrell." Now why does this road charge a colored man as much as it charges a white man and give him less accomodation? Simply because it does not believe the colored man will strike back, and it believes very nearly right. Our City Council passes an ordinance which every member knows or believes is unconstitutional, and why does it do it? Simply because it does not believe the colored man will strike back, through the courts or any other way. On the 24th of this month the case will come up in the court of Appeals in Annapolis. So far as we have been able to learn not a single Negro has subscribed five dollars to assist the attorney in this case in preparing his brief or to assist in the costs of the case. And yet we can talk by the hour our rights around some banquet table and say what ought to be done. We ought to be ashamed of ourselves. We are too much interested in other frivolous things which we could name and would name if white people did not read this paper to the extent they do, and we do not want them to know all the foolish things we do and place stress upon them instead of the things we ought to put time and money into. A brief of some forty pages or more is to be presented to the court a week from now. The brief has to be printed and its going to cost some money. We want to find out just how many of our people are in earnest and mean what they say, and here is the opportunity. The Afro-American will subscribe five dollars to this fund, how much will you give. Here is your opportunity. Let us see what you are going to do. Your subscription will be acknowledged through these columns. Step up and be counted. Show your hands. Let us see who you are. THE TWO GREAT MISTAKES The following clipping from the New York Age, is both interesting and suggestlike: It says: "As we have already said, there are more Southern Negroes in the North and West than original Northern ones, and they are coming all of the time. What to do with the needy and those who fail by the wayside is becoming a problem of the greatest magnitude to thoughtful Negroes to the police and charity organizations and to the philanthropists who have given millions for Southern Negro uplift, only to find that a Negro problem of their own has grown up at their doors between 1880 and 1913 and is growing every day. The first great mistake of that large army of northerners who have given, in the past, millions of dollars for the uplift of Southern Negroes, or rather Negroes living in the South, was, in their anxiety for the Negroes, they lost sight of the fact that it all would be of little avail unless at the same time they upifted the "poor whites" of the same section. Some few years ago, this great mistake seemed to have been discovered and an organized effort made in the interest of this latter class. The second great mistake which has not been discovered by these amiable gentlemen who give their money so freely for the uplift of the Negro in the South, is in difference with respect to the uplift of the same class and quality of Negroes who leaving the south settle in the north. If the same class of benevolent individuals who were wont to give so freely of their money for the bettering of the condition of the Negroes at a distance, had exercised the same spirit with respect to the poor Negro at their very doors, both the Negroes in the North and South would to-day be far better off than is the case, and the general state of both communities would be far more satisfactory than is the case. In a white community in the North where there are only one of two hundred colored people, twenty five years ago, if the philanthropic had made it their business to le THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER many immigrants of the unskilled labor class. Either they will crowd the Negro up into the higher classes of industry (as the Irish did the native whites in Boston, and as the Italians and Portuguese later did the Irish in the same city) or they will crowd the Negro down out of the unskilled labor class into the ranks of the criminally idle or the insufficiently-fed pauper. The Italian and the Greek have already crowded the Negro boot-black-down into lower work. Foreign waiters and barbers are crowding the Negro down out of the trades in most of the largest hotels and out of the best locations. And, remember, being crowded out is no great evil, provided we are crowded up into higher skill-demanding occupations. We, like every other man in America must meet the competition or stand aside. We note the absence of any large corporate enterprises. We are not forgetful of the discouraging failures of the past. But we believe these failures were due to the fact that the mass of the stockholders were ignorant of even the first principles of the business attempted, and that therefore they put their trust blindly into the hands of one or two men, the wisdom of whose acts they were not able to determine. The corporate institution must start by the grouping of persons all engaged (in a small way, perhaps) in the business proposed and having the details at their fingers' ends. Competent bookkeeping must be obtained and maintained, and a practical expert must be the manager. His acts must be scurritized with constant care in order that the thing which the stockholders know to be the wisest thing, may be done. "Our ingrance of what the Negroes of Baltimore are doing in business and the industries, and what the schools are doing or could be made to do to help the growth of these vital parts of our racial well being, is humiliating and inexusible. We must find out, and find out soon, if we wish to be worthy to bear the names of up-to-date business men and real teachers of business and manual training." TOO MUCH SHIFTING OF THE DISHES. A famous Ohio humorist says that a new rich family in Cleveland Ohio, who were beginning to put on a lot of airs; hired a colored girl just arrived from the South to act as their serving maid. Her new mistress insisted that all meals should be served in courses. Even when there was not much to eat it was brought to the table in courses. At the end of the week the girl threw up her job. Being pressed for a reason for quitting so suddenly she said: It's jes' disway day—in dis yer house dere's too much shiftin' of de dishes fur de fewness of de vittles!" Colored Race and Japanese Situation. To the Editor: Any reader of intelligence who takes time to examine the United States Constitution, will see that here is no authority therein for the much boasted and heralded claim of "Statesovereignty." Overstepping the bounds of state limited authority, does not by any means constitute legality, per se. The national Government may wink at the fact that statesmen and politicians have exceeded their constitutional limitation in this regard without restraint. Yet no state has a constitutional authority to enact and enforce laws which conflict with the national Constitution or any of its Amendments, or any national Treaty, because any such conflict is forbidden in the sixth article of the United States Constitution which says: "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding." Whence then is this false cry or authority for 'State-sovereignty? The national Government possesses the power and authority to say to any state in the Union. 'Thus far shall you go, but no further.' There is a certain Caucasian element in every state, but more numerous in the middle and southern states which is responsible for the constant racial turmoil and fomentation. This element is inflated with the fallacious Cutis Vera theory of white race superiority, and race inferiority for all darker races. This erroneous theory is at the bottom and its belief constitutes the foundation of all racial rancor and animosity. Its advocates invite their comrades not to live by the side, nor sit with an inferior race. They foster this idea, and segregation and jimcrow laws are enacted and enforced contrary to the national Constitution and its Amendments, for the express purpose of belittling and humiliating the darker race and upholding the false theory. This is the very spirit that fosters the California situation and threatens to mar international peace and goodwill. The infringement upon a national Treaty and 'supreme law of the land is zealously undertaken and executed under guise of 'Stateright' and impulsive racial emosity, as is wantonly done in the segregation, jimcrowing and disfranchisement in various states. But how can one race claim superiority over another simply by the pigment deposited in their integument by nature? And yet, is it not this race badge of inferiority which lies at the bottom for the enactment of discriminatory measures the prime cause? Is not, what else is it? The Italian remnant comes to America and causes untold trouble in viros, blackhand plots, anarchistic schemes and other vices, yet they are accorded every privilege, their children allowed to attend school without restraint or any discriminatory measures as such levied against them or imposed upon their race, because they too are considered Caucasian and belong to the superior race. Should the national Government maintain inviolate its Treaty obligations by putting the quietus on the erroneous 'State-sovereignity idea' or should it try to appease and satisfy this element which is clamoring for segregation on the implause of racial dislike? If the legal opinion of the late Judge Morris suplimented by the recent opinion of the three judges at Frederick, Maryland to the effect that state laws cannot supersede the national Constitution nor any of its Amendments, had been delivered and upheld twenty years ago; the spirit of segregation and jimerowism would have been checked, and the country would not now face its present situation. Let the superior race be known by the establishment of a high moral standard, superior attainment and proper civic behavior, instead of the pigment in the skin. The sooner the nation steps upon the high plateau of humanity, and regard the Fatherhood of Noah and brotherhood of all mankind irrespective of the color, with Equal Rights for all, the better will it be for all conceden in spite of national strength.

Principal Contestants for Royal Box at Hospital Benefit A. WHO WILL OCCUPY THE ROYAL BOX? At The Vaudeville Performance At Ford's Theatre For Benefit of Provident Hospital Who will sit in the royal box of Ford's theatre on July 1 when the monster vaudeville performance will be given for the benefit of Provident Hospital. Will it be the Chauffeurs Association or will the Bachelors Club occupy this most coveted place. Or is it possible that a "dark horse" will turn up at the auction sale which will take place at Provident Hospital on next Thursday night, and carry the prize These are the questions which are uppermost in the minds of the Citizens Committee, under whose auspices the benefit will be held. "Jack" Nelson, floor leader for the Chauffeurs, says his organization will be in the box with both feet, while Dr. Stokes, who with P. D. G. Pennington, occupy a similar position in the Bachelors are certain to be in at the finish. In the meantime, the "gallery" are looking on with much amusement and are speculating as to the probable price the box will bring. It is certain, however that it will bring a much larger price than the $20 for which it was sold last week. It was decided at a meeting of the Citizens Commitete which was held at the residence of Mr. John, Rich that the sale of this much sought after box, be declared off and that it be offered again when the other boxes not yet sold will be placed on public auction at the Hospital next Thursday evening. At the last sale the box was knocked down to Mr. John Williams who said he represented L. E. Toomey. It later developed that Mr. Williams intended to use Mr. Toomey's name only in order to keep the real purchaser of the box a secret. Dr. McCard, the ticket agent was not in on the secret, however, and on Wednesday, the day after the sale he notified Mr. Toomey that the box was his Mr. Toomey, who, it is said, was representing the Chauffeurs Association immediately sent a deposit on the box. Complications began to arise as soon as it was known that there were two claimments, and representatives from both sides were present at the meeting on Tuesday night to contend for the right to occupy the box. After a heated discussion in which neither side was willing to lower their colors and after two house runs, a long two beggar into deep center, two or three sacrifices and several buns had been made the 'rooters' on both sides decided to call the game a tie on account of "darkness" said tie is to be played off at Provident Hospital next Thursday night at 9 P. M. There has been quite a demand for the patrons tickets and already most of the one dollar seats have been sold. The demand for tickets has exceeded the fondest hopes of the promoters and it is now predicted that every seat in the big Fords Theater will be occupied on that night and that standing room will be at a premium. Following the meeting, a collation was served by Mr. Rich. He and Mrs. Rich were the recipients of many congratulations from the members of the Committee, on account of the seventeenth anniversary of their marriage, which event they were celebrating. PETER H. HARRIS What is regarded as the most successful session during the sixteen years of the existence of the Maryland Colored Baptist Convention came to an end at Union Baptist Church last Friday night. The next annual meeting will be held at Ebenezer Baptist Church. The session was harmonious throughout, the only ripple being caused by an attempt to pass a resolution endorsing the work of the Anti-Saloon League and the agent of its colored department, Rev. D. D. Turpeau, Thursday morning of last week. The resolution was introduced by Rev. James A. Fry presumably upon the request of Dr. Turpeau. Rev. Dr Johnson, himself an old and ardent prohibitionist, strongly opposed the resolution. He scored the work of the Anti-Saloon League asserting that it had been barren of results, and declared that Dr. Turpeau himself should have the courage to protest against occupying a "jimcrow" headquarters for his work. He further declared that Dr. Turpeau was taking an unfair advantage in trying to have a resolution passed, when he knew it would be strongly opposed. The resolution was finally referred to a committee, where it still sleeps. Dr. Turpeau was a silent listener at the onslaught against him and the league. Dr. Johnson offered some months ago to debate with W. A. Anderson on the relative merits of absolute prohibition and local option, but the latter declined giving as his reason that Dr. Johnson, like him and his colleagues, was opposed to the liquor traffic. The annual address of Rev. John H. Taylor, president of the convention, was a general review of his work during the year. J E. Watson made a report of the work of the Baptist Young Peoples' Union. The Women's Baptist Educational and Foreign Mission Convention made excellent reports of their year's work. Rev. W. J. Winston made an illuminating review of the work being done at Clayton-Williams University. A number of new bodies were admitted to membership. The collections amounted to nearly $1,700. Children Day At Allen A. M. E. Sunday School The Children's Day exercises at Allen A. M. E. Sunday School June 8, at 2 p.m., drew a very large number of parents and friends of the children to witness the services which were said to be one of the best ever held at the church. The children rendered an excellent program. The exercises were conducted by Mrs. Clara Scott and Miss F. E. Gilbert, teachers of the advanced and primary departments, respectively. The pastor, Rev. P. J. Jordan, and superintendent, Mr. H. D. Brent spoke of how pleased they were in having among the visitors, Rev. S. M. Johnson presiding elder of the Hagerstown District and Mr. Charles Hiner, of Handy A.M. E. Church. The main feature on the program was an exercise entitled "Character Building," which consisted of 22 children, all of whom were present to place his block on the structure, similar to the one which ali would like each to build for himself—a building of truth and righteousness. The Fer-Quer-Ge Physical Culture Club of the C. Y. W. C. A. gave a tramp through Gwynn Falls Park last week. About twenty members went on the hike. JOHNSON—Dennis L. Johnson, beloved husband of Rosa A. Johnson, departed this life, Saturday, June 7th, at 6 a.m., in full triumph of faith at his late residence, 1307 Orleans street. He is survived by a wife, one son, a brother and sister. A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home, That never can be filled. Dearest loved one, we have laid thee, In the peaceful grave's embrace, But thy memory will be cherished, 'Til we see thy heavenly face. We wish to thank our many friends for their kindness during the sickness and sad hour bereavement of my dear husband, and for their many floral tributes. His Loving wife Rosa A. Johnson. Mrs. Laura V. Walker and relatives extend thanks to their many friends and neighbors for their kind sympathy and beautiful floral tributes during the short sickness and at the death of Thelma L. Martin, beloved daughter of Laura V. Walker, granddaughter of J. W. and Rebecca Martin, at her late residence,749 W. Mulberry street. Our sincere thanks are hereby extended to our many friends for their kind offers of assistance and floral tributes, following the death of Charles Richardson, who died May 30. Interment was in Mt.

Pioneers in the field of Business - They Advertise Wake Up, You ORIGIN OF PAUL HILL LODGE Grand Benevolent Association, With Headquarters In Bessemer, Among the Largest of Its Kind In the United States—Founded by Grand Master J. F. Thomas Six Years Ago. Bessemer, Ala.—Many are the channels in this country through which the race is being elevated in business, commercial, intellectual and financial life. Perhaps there is none more effective in this than the fraternal organization of the race throughout the country. Prominent among the organizations is the Grand Benevolent association, with headquarters in this city, with subordinate lodges spreading through Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and South Carolina and with a membership of 10,000. The Grand Benevolent association comes from the fertile brain of one of the most worthy men of the race, J. F. Thomas, who is a recognized leader of men. He has made his way to the front by hard work and has reached his present standing through industry, honesty and reliability. He was born in Westpoint, Ga., about thirty-eight years ago and as soon as he was old enough began his education in the public schools such as were found in the rural districts of Georgia. He was the son of a farmer, hence spent much of his early life on the farm. His education was turned from the public school to the mines of Alabama in 1850, where he gained much helpin knowledge. While working in the mines he made many friends. Among the miners he was a recognized leader. Being a Christian man, they sought his advice and placed in him much confidence. While in this capacity his leadership developed and his racial asserted itself. He was not consented to be a more miner, but became a mine contractor. After spending ten years in the mines he decided that it was time to get out and do something for the race A. GRAND MASTER J. P. THOMAS. Hence he called around him many friends and decided on the organization of something different from what the race had already and something that would bring respect to his people, showing that they were capable of managing great institutions for mutual benefit. It was on Sept. 17, 1907, that he called the first meeting and organized the Grund Benovent联 association. There were fifteen who became the charter members, who expressed their faith and confidence in his leadership, assuring him where he led they would follow and would invite their friends to join with them. Paul Hill lodge was the name given to the first number, taking its name from an oak tree on Paul's hill, one mile from Bessenheim. New members were soon added, and the growth became permanent, and others were soon added until today they have 225 lodges in the states above named. The Grand Benevolent association is not alone to look after the sick and bury the dead, but it is intended to help individual members while living to show up the business ability and worth of the race in the community and the country at large. Employment is now given to over fifty young men and women by the institution. Getting together the men and women of the race for mutual protection, the first thing to claim the attention was the erection of a permanent home for the order Land was purchased, and a two story building, with a roof garden seating 1500, was erected. Within six years he has been able to get together 10,000 men and women and erect a building at a cost of $10,000 and has paid to the widows and orphans of members $25,000. The order now has a neat bank account and money invested in real estate to the amount of $25,000. Among the grand lodge officers are James Hall, vice grand muster; Allen Lang, grand warden; James Atwood, grand secretary; A. Morris, grand treasurer; W. P. Robinson, endowment secretary; L. Thomas, grand lecturer; Rev. B. T. Oatman, grand chapain; Albert Thomas, grand inner guard, and Rev. R. W. Wyatt, grand outer guard. CONCORD MAKES PROGRESS. Brooklyn Congregation Plans to Erect New Modern Building. The annual reunion of the Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn, which occurred the fourth week in May, was attended by a large concourse of persons from in and out of town. It was the third reunion under the pastorate of the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss, who presided and made an inspiring address of welcome to the members and friends in which he pictured a bright future for the church, inviting the hearty co-operation of all in the great work of uplift which the church is doing. Music for the occasion was given by the choir of the church under the direction of Professor P. Albert Myers. Superintendent N. Barnett Dodson delivered the address in behalf of the Sunday school. The work of the school during the year has been successful. There have been many helpful features introduced during the fiscal year which have kept the interest of teachers and scholars at close attention. The total membership of the school is 583, and the receipts for the year amounted to $903.44, which is an increase over 1911.12. The amount spent for Sunday school support was $739.75, which leaves a balance to the credit of the school of $163.60. The work is carried on under the graded system and is divided into nine departments with a superintendent in charge. The beginners' department, primary, mothers' class and the teacher training class meet in separate rooms and separate class sections. The early history of the church was reviewed by Dr. Moss. It was interesting and held the closest attention of the audience. Dr. Moss gave many hitherto unknown facts concerning the various places where the congregation worshiped as far back as 1847. Church Clerk Peter T. Fisher read letters of regret and appreciation from out of town members who could not be present. The architect's plans for the new church edifice were exhibited by Charles J. Crowder, chairman of the house committee. Rev. L. Joseph Brown, pastor of the Derean Baptist church and former superintendent of the Sunday school, made a brief address which was followed by the annual report of the board of trustees, which was presented by Secretary Graham H. Carter. The report was carefully got up and covered every phase of the financial work of the church from the April meeting of the board in 1912 to April, 1913. The total amount received from all sources was $11,587.74. The membership of the church is over 1,500 and new members are being received at every meeting. FINE CHURCH CELEBRATION First Presbyterian Congregation in Richmond Observes Anniversary. The most notable event in religious circles in Richmond, Va., for the first week in June was the celebration of the twenty-third anniversary of the First Presbyterian church. The historical sermon was preached by the Rev. J. G. Harris of Petersburg, Va. Monday evening, June 2, was known as Presbyterian night. The sermon was delivered by Dr. Charles Stewart, pastor of the Church of the Covenant, Richmond. Tuesday evening was designated as interdenominal night. Wednesday night the exercises were in charge of the order of True Reformers. Thursday night the Baptist denomination conducted the program, and on Friday night Mrs. Maggie Walker was the principal speaker. The final exercises were held on Monday evening, June 9, and were attended by an overflow audience. Madam C. J. Walker's Philanthropy. Madam C. J. Walker of Indianapolis Ind., recently returned from a business trip south which covered nearly ten weeks. During her stay in Charleston, S. C.; Savannah, Ga., and other important southern cities she received much social attention. Madam Walker is a business woman of ripe experience. She is greatly interested in the young women of the race and never loses an opportunity to encourage them in their struggle to get an education or enter the business arena. Our people will not soon forget Madam Walker's gift of $1,000 to the Indianapolis branch of the Young Men's Christian association about two years ago. She was a visitor to the Sunday school congress which closed its eighth annual meeting in Muskogee, Okla., or Tuesday, June 10. Knights of Pythias to Hold Meeting. The various lodges of the grand lodge Knights of Pythias of Virginia have selected their delegates and com- pleted other arrangements for attending the annual convention of the grand lodge to be held in Newport News, Va. beginning on Tuesday, June 17, and closing on Friday, the 20th. The en- campment of the order this year will be very large. Companies from Stau- ton, Lynchburg, Danville, Petersburg, Richmond, Charlottesville, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and other parts of the state have already registered for the event. The big parade will be held on Wednesday, June 13. Brooklyn Clubs Honor Mrs. Talbert Under the auspices of the Dorcens House Missionary society and the various clubs belonging to the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs of New York a magnificent reception was tendered Mrs. Mary Talbert of Buffalo, president of the federation, at the Concord Baptist church, in Brooklyn on Wednesday evening, June 4. Plan for the coming annual meeting of the central organization were discuss. 4. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER SOCIAL SCIENCE AT FISK. Announcement of New Features of Study Creates Great Interest. SUNDAY SCH Nashville, Tenn.-Announcement has been made of the social science courses to be offered next year at Fisk university, in this city, and of the plan of the university to co-operate with the Woman's council of the Methodist Episcopal Church South and the Methodist Training school here in developing a social settlement in one of the neighborhoods of this city among Afro-Americans. Dr. George E. Haynes, professor of social science at Fisk, says that this arrangement of co-operation will give a new impetus and a great outlet for the intense interest of the students in the conditions among the people of the city and will offer them an opportunity to get acquainted with the people and to learn by practice what college education can do to help the masses. He says it will also be a great help in articulating the university with the pulsating practical life of the people and enable it to better train its students for leadership and service. The department offers an introductory course in economics in the junior year for three hours per week and an advanced course in economics in the senior year, two hours per week. In sociology three hours per week will be given to class work and four hours per week to field investigation and practical work. One of the most interesting features of the department for next year consists of a course in Negro history for the juniors and a course on the Negro problem for the seniors. The history course traces the growth of American democracy in its relation to slavery and the Negro American. It aims to give the student a historical background for his thinking about present day conditions. The course on the Negro problem is offered to members of the senior class and is a careful study of present conditions in both the country and the city. In this course use is made of all available material on the subject, and in addition to the general class work each student is given some particular topic relating to the economic, educational, social or religious conditions among Negroes for special investigation and report. The course aims to teach the student how to study conditions among Negroes in an accurate way and with a broad humanitarian point of view. MANNING MAKES KNOWN HIS MISSION IN NORTH. Former Alabama Lawmaker Tires of Unchecked Political Injustice. Camden, N. J.-Much interest is being taken here in the work of the Hon. Joseph C. Manning, former member of the Alabama legislature. Having served as postmaster in one of the important towns in his state and having had several years of experience as an editor and lecturer, Mr. Manning has a mass of first hand information concerning conditions in the south as they relate to the well being of Afro-Americans. In political affairs Mr. Manning is an adept. He has given many years of hard work in an effort to break down the discrimination which exists against the colored citizens of the south with respect to the ballot. His efforts have been sincere, and he has accomplished much good. He has familiarized himself with every phase of the political, social and educational work of his section and is regarded as an authority upon the south and its treatment of Afro-Americans in respect to their civil and political rights. He gives the south due credit when it is in the right and condemns it when it is in the wrong. Mr. Manning says that his purpose in the north is to acquaint the northern people with the facts as to the present political conditions in the south. It is his intention to engage in a thorough discussion of the suffrage question as it affects the whole people. In 1894 Mr. Manning was at the head of a movement which resulted in some forty Democratic congressmen losing their seats in the national house of representatives in 1896. The unseating of those forty congressmen caused a situation to arise which had to be met in the open. The recently devised disfranchisement laws resorted to by the Democrats were not enacted to get rid of the colored voter, but to aid the cause of minority government in the south through the elimination of sufficient white as well as colored voters to cause the opposition to become a minority party. Mr. Manning said that of 200,000 blacks of voting age in Alabama but 3,000 of that number were permitted to register and vote. "The effect of this system on elections in twelve southern states may be perceived when we realize that the entire delegation in congress from the south was elected on 500,000 votes." Mr. Manning said. "whereas there are 6,000,000 of voting age in these states and 4,000,000 of them whites." New Book by Dr. Algernon B. Jackson. One of the latest tracts on medical treatment is an interesting and instructive pamphlet recently written and published by Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, surgeon in chief of Mercy hospital. Philadelphia. The little book is being given general circulation by leading physicians. Dr. Jackson is well known for his scholarly attainments and general interest in movements for the good of the public along all lines. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson XI.—Second Quarter, For June 15, 1913. Text of the Lesson, Gen. xlvii, 1-12. Memory Verses, 8-10—Golden Text, Rom. viii, 20—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This is the only lesson assigned in the remaining five chapters of Genesis, and while giving some attention to "Jacob before Pharaoh," the lesson title, we must consider as many as possible of many most important things of all these chapters. It is worth while to notice when Jacob is so called and when he is called Israel, the old name and the new, remembering the when and wherefore of the change. Being convinced by the sight of the wagons that Joseph still lived, he started on his journey to Egypt and at Beersheba offered sacrifices unto God. Thus begin, with the entrance into Egypt of these seventy souls, the fulfillment of the word of the Lord to Abram, "Thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs" (Gen. xv. 13.14). The other end of the promise, "Afterward shall they come out with great substance," seems to have been so real to Jacob that, as Israel, he said to Joseph before he died, "Behold, I die, but God shall be with you and bring you again unto the land of your fathers" (xviii. 21). When Joseph died, over fifty years later, he said to his brethren: "I die, and God will surely visit you and bring you out of this hand. * * * And ye shall carry up my bones from hence" (1. 24. 25). When Jacob and all his household drew near to Egypt he sent Judah to advise Joseph and to direct his way. And again we think of Ella who came from Judah, who only can direct our way. Joseph, being thus advised of his father's arrival at Goshen, went in his charlet to meet his father and present himself unto him (xvI. 20), and who can tell what is so briefly summed up in the words, "He fell on his neck and wopt on his neck a good white?" What a meeting it must have been after twenty-two years of separation, and Joseph all that time supposed by his father to be dead! Now he receives him back from the dead and finds him ruler over all Egypt and a savior of multitudes in all lands as well as of himself and his household. What it day it will be when the nation of Israel shall look upon Him whom they crucified and find in Him not only their own Messiah, but the one who will bring salvation to all nations: As Joseph's brethren found him married, so Israel shall see their Messiah associated with His bride, the church, for "when Christ, our life, shall appear, then shall we also appear with Him in glory" (Col. iii. 4). It seems to me that there are just two prominent things in the lesson verses of today—Pharah bestowing the best of all the land of Egypt upon Joseph's father and brother and Jacob's reply to the question of Pharah, "How old are thou?" (Verses 6. 9, 11). Because of the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus all who truly receive Him and thus become His brother are blessed with all things in Him, and believing this makes us strangers and pilgrims here and fills us with a sense of our own unworthiness (1 Pet. ii, 11). So Joseph nourished his father and his brethren and all their households during all the remaining years of famine (verse 12), and Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. Jacob therefore had Joseph with him the first and last seventeen years, the first seventeen of Joseph's life and the last seventeen of Jacob's life (xxxvil. 2: xivil. 28). It is worth while to consider the seven woeings of Joseph, but I think the last is in some respects the most touching. He had nourished his brethren and their families for seventeen years, having fully assured them of his forgiveness at the beginning of that period, but now, their father being dead, they say "the will certainly require us all the evil which we did unto him." So they send a messenger asking him to forgive their trespass and their sin and the evil which they did unto him. 0, 15-17. Joseph went when they spake unto him. Was there ever anything so mean and contemptible as such conduct? Yet see his most Christlike words in l. 1921. He reassured them and comforted them and spake kindly unto them. What shall we say of those who, having come to Christ and received Him as their Saviour, will not take His word for it that He has freely and fully forgiven all their sins and will remember them no more, but seem to be ever in doubt concerning their acceptance? In Jacob's farewell predictions to his sons concerning the last note the preeminence of Judah concerning the Messiah (xlix. 10) and the wondrous typical suggestiveness in the portion concerning Joseph (xlix. 22-29. "The stone of Israel" carries us to Isa. xxvii. 16; Ps. xxvii. 22; Matt. xxi. 42; Eph. ii. 20; I Pet. ii. 68; Dan. ii. 35, 45. "Separate from his brother" is repeated in the farewell blessings of Moses (Deut. xxvii. 16) and wondrously links Joseph with Christ. "A fruitful though by a well whose branches run over the wall" makes us think of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well and all that it suggests. The last words in Genesis, "a coffin in Egypt," and the story of that coffin (Ex. xlix. 19; Josh. xxiv. 32; Heb. xl, 22) teach the vicary of faith.
