THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER --- VOL. XXII. NO.42 HIGH SCHOOL CLASS DAY EXERCISES Friends of Large Gradnating Class Turn Out To See "Stunts" IRVIN CASSELL WINS MEDAL Miss Josie Goodrich Delivers Salutatory and Gobert Macbetn The spirit of class prestige ran high at the Class Day exercises of this year's graduating class of the Colored High School, held at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church last (Friday) night. The class colors, crimson and gold were in evidence and the old "grads" as well as those who hope to graduate from the school in later years showed their appreciation of the attractive program offered. The exercises opened with a selection by Kerr's Orchestra, after which the class march was played. Miss Josie Goodrich delivered the salutatory and Gobert E. Macbeth delivered the valedictory address. A playlet from the "Merchant of Venice," the reading of the Testament by Miss Portia Miller, the recital of the history of the class by Miss Alice E. Lockerman, the reading of the class ode by Miss Louise H. Saunders and the singing of a unison song by the male and female members of the class were among the many features of the program. Rev. M. J. Naylor offered the invocation and the benediction. Mr. James A. B. Callis, president of the Alumni Association, presented the alumni medal to Irvin A. Cassell. The singing of the class song elicited applause. It runs, in part: For Latin, physics and botany too, Each and all had to go through, But "strive to excel" was their motto dear. When all stood by it they had nothing to fear. The English ditch was a pitrall deep, History, too their way was steep Since nothing tended to give them rest They took all they could as a joke or a jest. So they stuck it out through thick and thin. They were so brave, who could they have been? Ta. Rah, Rah, Boom, arent' they keen? 'Twas we, the class of 19-14. Rev. L. S. Flagg will preach a sermon to the class at Bethel Church this Sunday morning. The commencement exercises will be held at the Lyric next Friday night. Dr. Jesse E Moorland, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., will deliver the address to the graduates. The officers of the class are: Irvin A. Cassell, president; Gobert E.

REV. JOHN A. HOLMES TENDERED RECEPTION On Wednesday evening, May 27th, the Church Aid Society of Metropolitan M. E. Church gave a beautiful reception welcoming Rev. John A. Hotmes to his 18th year as pastor. The exercises opened with an anthem by the choir and prayer by Dr. E W. S. Peck. Mrs. Elizabeth Stevens, chairlady made the opening remarks and introduced Mrs. Caroline Owens as mistress of ceremonies. The welcome address was made by Mrs. E. J. Truxon and the history of the church given by Mr. James A. Harris. Among those participating in the exercises were Rev. L. S. Flagg, Rev. J. W. MacDonald Rev. S. T. Virgil, Rev. J. A. Briscoe, Rev. G. F. Bragg, Rev. M. J. Navlor. It was a most noted occasion. Each one speaking in the highest of terms of Rev. Holmes, pastor for 17 years and of his valuable help fulness in the community. The choir made special preparation to welcome him in song. Mrs. Anita Bishop presented him a purse on behalf of the members of the church. The assembly to the number of several hundred were then invited to the church parlor where refreshments were served abundantly. "BROTHER" JOHN JONES DEAD Chicago, Ill., June 11.—John G. Jones, a well known lawyer of this city died here Sunday and was buried yesterday. Jones was known from one end of the country to the other as the organizer of spurious masonry from the lowest to the highest degrees. In a number of States he not only organized spurious degrees of Scottish Rite Masonry but what is generally known as Blue Lodges, Chapters and Commanderies. He also organized a number of Consistories of Scottish Rite Masons and Temples of Mystic Shriners. A large number of these will now no doubt go out of existence. Jones was a thorn in the side of regular Masonry for the past twenty-five or thirty years. IN INTEREST OF BLACK REPUBLIC Secretary Moore Has Conference With Interests In Washington and New York New York, June 12.—Hon. John Lewis Morris, secretary of the Treasury of Liberia, and Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian consul general to the United States, had conferences yesterday and today with representatives of Kuhn, Loeb Company and the National City Bank regarding points at issue in the collection and disbursement of customs duties with which to pay the interest and sinking fund on the Liberian loan of $1,700,000, floated in 1911. Liberia is said to have strongly objected to some of the conditions imposed by those who underwrote the loan, regarding the same as a slap at its prestige as a nation. One point strongly objected to was the payment by Reed Paige Clark, who was named by this government as receiver of customs, of the frontier police. Liberia contended that the police was its own appointees and should be paid directly by the government. This contention was allowed some time ago. There are other disputed points, however, and the settlement of the same has brought Secretary Morris to this country. Secretary Morris and Consul General Lyon were in Washington Monday, where they had conferences with Solicitor Johnson, of the State Department; Third Assistant Secretary of State Phillips, and Paul Warburg, the latter representing Kuhn, Loeb Company. Mr. Warburg, it is said, expressed strong disapproval of the published reports that Kuhn, Loeb Company contemplated a financial dictatorship over Liberia. As this government lent its moral support to Liberia, it will most likely be the final arbiter in the points at issue. Secretary Morris expressed himself today as being hopeful that the points at issue would be cleared up to the satisfaction of all concerned. He would not give out any information as to the exact nature of the questions discussed at the conferences, nor venture his opinion as to the probable outcome. Secretary Morris and Dr. Lyon were the guests of honor at a dinner given by Philip A. Payton, the real estate dealer, last night. CLERCH IN PROSPEROUS CONDITION Berkley, Md., June 10—Hosanna Church is in a prosperous condition. Rev. F. S. Denois, the pastor, is doing all he can to make this conference year a successful one. Communion service was held at the church Sunday morning, Forty persons communed. The Allen League held services in the evening. The Sunday school will hold its Children's Day services Sunday, June 14, beginning at 2:30 p. m. PREJUDILE ON GERMAN LINER Race prejudice was responsible for the Koenigen Luise sailing from Locus Point without Carl J. Murphy, an instructor in German at Howard University, Washington. The vessel is one of the finest of the North German Lloyd line. Mr. Murphy has planned to spend the summer in study at one of the German universities. He bought a ticket to Bremen, but was later informed that he would have to take his meals in the smoker. He refused to be discriminated against and demanded that his ticket money be refunded. He will probably sail from New York the latter part of this month. HOSPITAL BENEFIT TO BE AT ACADEMY With the securing of the Academy of Music in which to hold a big benefit for Provident Hospital on the evening of June 25. the Board of Directors, Citizens' Committee and others deeply interested in promoting the good work being done by the institution started out with a vim this week to make the affair a success. The use of Ford's Grand Opera House had been granted for the benefit, but the management had booked engagements for all of June, hence the change. Ford T. Dabney will again direct the music. As he has been in New York for some months filling big musical engagements, Baltimoreans will have the opportunity of hearing something rich along that line. S. H. Dudley will leave alone his work of planning for a string of colored theatres and bring his mule along. Fun and comedy will also come with him. Then there are to be a dozen skits and sketches by men and women prominent in vaudeville. Tickets will be on sale at the office of the Afro-American Ledger, and from members of the committee. As a number of improvements, including the building of a new front for the hospital, are now being made the management of the institution is greatly in need of funds with which to pay for the same. The preliminary plans for the benefit are in charge of Mr. E. B. Taylor, Chairman of the Citizen's Committee. Dr. Harry S. McCard, and E. Verry Stokes. BOT FIGHT IN CHICAGO Chicago, Ill., June 11. -A big fight for the legislative nomination is on in the first Senatorial District. There are two tickets and four candidates in the field. Edward D. Green, author of the Illinois Anti-lnch law, is the only colored candidate. DISCRIMINATORS TO Albany, N. Y., June 12. Attorney General Carmody, a Democrat, has sent letters to district attorneys in several counties asking that they immediately prosecute proprietors of summer resorts that have placed advertisements in violation of the Levy Civil Rights Law, which prohibits publication of the fact that a place or public resort will refuse any or all of its accomolations to a person on account of his race, religion or color. Several resorts are said to have disregarded this provision of the law. Through the efforts of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and other agencies, numerous cases of violations of provisions of the Levy law, especially in New York city, have been brought to the attention of the authorities, and several convictions have been secured. The law was passed during the closing days of the Sulzer administration and has been in operation for some months. It was designed to forestall the growing tendency to discriminate against certain classes of patrons who outside of their race or creed, are otherwise desirable. PRICE THREE CENTS THE NEGRO IN PENNSYLVANIA Philadelphia, June 12.—This States has the honor of being the first one to undertake an investigation into the social and economic condition of the Negro. The Bureau of Industrial Statistics sometime ago appointed Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder and a trained investigator, to make his surveys His report covers 198 pages of printed matter and is published under the caption "A Study of the Industrial Conditions of the Negro Population in Pennsylvania, and Especially of the Cities of Pittsburg and Philadelphia." The investigation revealed the fact that the vast majority of the colored worker in the State were born in the South, chiefly in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina. In 1912 there were 39 practicing physicians, 6 pharmacists, 21 dentists and 85 public school teachers in Philadelphia, while in Pittsburgh there were 28 physicians, 7 dentists 11 pharmacists and no teachers. These people are graduates of the leading fitting schools of the country. It was also found out that the Negro was engaged in many fields of activity and that colored business men paid their employees about the same wages that their white competitors paid. Many colored people were found to be engaged in the high class vocations and the colored woman was found not to be wholly engaged in domestic service. 136 out of 197 white employers said that their colored help was oute as efficient as the white, and a number said that they were more efficient. PYTHIANS AT MEMORIAL SERVICE With reverent minds, over 1,000 members of local lodges and courts of Calanthe of the Knights of Pythias gathered at Bethel A. M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon, the occasion being the annual memorial services. Relatives of the departed ones had special seats. Grand Chancellor George A. Watty conducted the opening services, which was followed with an invocation by Thaddeus Copeland. Rev. J. U. King, of Princess Anne, Md., delivered the oration. Mrs. Mary E. Stewart delivered the eulogy for the deceased female members. Solos were sung by Mrs. Anqa Hazelton Lee, Miss Jennie Jones and Mrs. Flosie Peters. Grand keeper of Records and Seal Joshua L. Diggs called the roll of the deceased members. The benediction was by Rev. L. S. Flagg. FOR ANOTHER FIRE COMPANY Nashville, Tenn., June 11.—The Board of Trade is backing a movement to secure another colored fire company for the city. There has long been a company of colored firemen and they have rendered efficient service. More public playgrounds have also been asked for. Louisville, June 11.—Aroused by the recent enactment of a segregation law, the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is preparing to wage legal fight against the obnoxious measure. A big massmeeting has been planned to take place at Quinn Chapel on June 23, at which time funds will be collected for making the legal fight. DR. JOHNSON STILL IN FIGHT Though Deserted By A Number Of His Followers He Is Still In The Ring. Though deserted by a number of the men who have been his strongest supporters for years, Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson showed that he was still in fighting trim and able to muster supporters when the Colored Baptist State Convention elected new officers Wednesday. When the convention opened its annual session Wednesday at Ebenezer Baptist Church Wednesday, President John H. Taylor, Vice President, Moses A. Kyle, Secretary R. D. Johnson and Rev. Dr. Willis J. Winston, president of Clayton-Williams University, were on hand to represent their resignations. These gentlemen, along with a dozen others, had resigned from the Colored Baptist Ministerial Meeting Monday. In calling the convention order, President Taylor asked that his resignation as a member of the body be received. Probably the most dramatic happening of the opening session was the insistence by Dr. Winston that his resignation as head of the university be received. He made a speech in which he virtually charged Dr. Harvey Johnson with attempting to dominate things. Following this the convention elected Rev. W. I. Johnson president. While the work of the convention will still go on, those who withdrew are among its most active workers and supporters and their withdrawal caused a considerable diminution in the fund collected by the convention. That there has been a feeling among some of the members that Dr. Harvey John on was attempting to dominate things was asserted by one of the succeeding ministers. Against his statement, however, is one made by a disinterested minister that Dr. Harvey Johnson had made it possible for some of the minisers to succeed and that he had given them every encouragement. It is largely through the efforts of Dr. Johnson that the colored Baptists of the State were started out on a basis of paddling their own canoes. He has always aided education and while he would take no office, has kept in close touch with things. Some of the men who are now forging to the front have been enabled to get an education through his assistance but, now they claim that Dr. Johnson has an iron will and desires things to be done in accordance with his ideas. He is the oldest colored Baptist ministers in Maryland and for years has fought valiantly for the improvement of the civic and educational status of the race. THE DOVE ENTERS TRINITY CHURCH. The dove of peace may again hover Trinity A. M. E. Church. At the quarterly conference held last Friday night it was agreed to let the newly elected trustees take charge of affairs. Judge Ambler, of Circuit Court No. 2, had previously sustained the demurred filed by the new trustees against the injunction proceedings sought by the old board. He suggested, in his opinion, that the matter was one recalling for arbitration. C. C. Fitzgerald represented the old board of trustees and Hawkins and McMechen the new board. Presiding E'der D. G. Hill presided over the meeting last Friday night. BRAVE DEEDS OF AFRO-AMERICANS INSTANCES OF GREAT VALOR Substantial Rewards Bestowed Upon Gallant Protectors of Human Life by Trustees of Fund Established by Noted Philanthropist Ten Years Ago. How the Money Is Paid. In 1904 Mr. Andrew Carnegie, one of the greatest philanthropists of the age, whose millions were made in the iron and steel business of Pittsburgh, created a hero fund of $5,000,000 of first collateral 5 per cent bonds of the United States Steel corporation, which fund is under the control of a board known as the trustees of the herf fund, Mr. Carnegie having directed that in case of death widows and children or other dependents are to be provided for until the widow remarries and until the children reach a self supporting age. In the event of disability the disabled to be provided for until again able to work. The maximum death or disablement benefit to be paid in any one year to any one family or dependent shall not exceed $1,000, the amount and manner of payment in each case to be fixed by the commission upon the recommendation of the executive committee, provided, in no case, however, shall death or disablement benefits be paid unless it shall be clearly shown that the dependents or disabled need such assistance. The following colored persons are among the Negroes who have performed herole deeds since this here fund has been established, and here is what they have done: John B. Hill, aged thirty-five, coachman, rescued Thomas S. Prescott, aged six, and Florence Williams, aged twenty-one, from a runaway, Atlanta, Ga., by grabbing the bridle of one of the horses of a runaway team hitched to a landau containing the child and maid. After being dragged some distance he threw the horse. Award, bronze medal and $500 to reimburse him for pecuniary loss sustained on account of injuries. George A. Grant, aged thirty-three, teamster, sustained fatal injuries rescuing C. G. Campbell, aged forty-six, president of the American Painting and Decorating company, and Charles A. Whipple, aged forty-eight, superintending of building construction, from a runaway in Groton, Conu. Grant grasped the bridle of one of the horses, and, finding himself unable to control the other horse because its bridle was off, he threw the one he had hold of and was kicked on the neck and run over by the vehicle. He died the second day after. Award, silver medal and $25 a month for support of widow during her life or until she remarries, with $5 a month additional for each of four children until each reaches the age of sixteen. Theodore H. Homer, aged thirty-two, waiter, rescued F. Berger, aged eight, from a runaway in Philadelphia Aug. 2, 1908. Homer ran seventy feet to meet a badly frightened runaway horse drawing a delivery wagon containing Berger and, grasping its bridle, stopped it within eighty feet. Awarded bronze medal and $500 for educational purposes as needed. George E. McCue, aged twenty-six, porter, saved J. M. Herman, aged two, from being run over by a train in Garden City, Kan. McCue ran 560 feet, part of this distance on the track ahead of a passenger train running forty miles an hour, and, grasping the baby and its carriage, which had rolled on to the track, threw them inside and cleared the track himself, the pilot beam of the engine missing him by a few inches. Awarded bronze medal and $500 for educational purposes as needed. Martha Generals, aged fifty-seven, housewife, rescued Peter M. Mallkemes, aged nine, from electric shock in Wilkesbarre, Pa. Unable to release his bold of an electric light wire carrying 2,200 volts, the boy was being jerked about when Mrs. Generals grasped him by the neck and received a shock which temporarily paralyzed her arm. She appealed to bystanders to aid him, but none responded, and then she grasped the boy again and succeeded in pulling him free from the wire. Her hand was disabled for a week. The boy's hand was badly burned. Awarded bronze medal and $20 a month during her life. Harley Tomilinson, aged thirty-four, farmer, died assisting in an attempt to save Oscar Colson, colored, aged twenty-seven, farmer, from drowning, Norwood, N. C. During a flood of the Yadkin river, Tomilinson and another man in a bateau paddled 400 feet from shore to Colson, who was clinging to a wrecked fastboot, and had got Colson aboard, when the bateau capsized. Tomilinson and Colson were drowned. Award, bronze medal and $15 a month for support of whow during her life or until she remarries, with $2 a month additional for each of the three children until each reaches the age of sixteen. Frank Forrest, aged fifty-three, farmer, assisted in an attempt to save Oscar Colson and helped to save Henry C. Meyers, aged sixty-two, insurance agent, from drowning, Norwood, N. C. When the bateau capsized Forrest swam downstream 500 feet and was rescued by his son in a boat; then running along the bank a mile and a quarter upstream to get above Meyers, who was in a clump of trees 400 feet from land, he secured another boat and, accompanied by his son, rescued Meyers. Award, bronze medal and $500 to liquidate debt and for other worthy purposes as needed. Albert K. Sweet, aged twenty, machinist, attempting to save four children from drowning; awarded bronze medal. James L. Smith, aged thirty-six, puddler, saved Frances R. Hottiek, aged two years, from burning. Sistersville, W. Va. Breaking away from men who tried to restrain him, after two or three men had failed to enter it, Smith crawled through a doorway under a blast of heat and smoke and occasional flames into the hall of a cottage, and then into the adjoining living room, which was dense with smoke, and grasped the child, who had been left there. Smith groped his way back to the open door, drugging the child with him, and when he reached the open air collapsed. He soon revived. His hands and arms and the back of his head were burned. The child sustained no burns. Award, silver medal and $1,000 toward purchase of a home. Boyce Lindsay, aged sixteen, delivery boy, saved E.

BUSINESS IS GROWING FAST In Culture Also Colored Population of St. Louis Is Showing the Way to Less Advanced Communities—Some of the Leaders of the Race and What They Are Doing. By RALPH W TYLER. St. Louis.—Visiting this city as a representative of and in the interest of the National Negro Business league, I naturally went into conditions here more carefully than the casual visitor. Next to Washington perhaps St. Louis has been famed most for her colored society. Its large number of colored schoolteachers, drawn from every section of the country and representing the best institutions of higher education, gives to the city a cultured community, as Washington's more than 500 colored teachers give to that city a superior air of culture. Secure in their professions of culture and consciousness of much "higher" education, the colored people of St. Louis for years neglected that basic foundation for permanent and substantial progress-business. There is a revival on here now, a business revival, and, while not neglecting either culture or the so called "higher" education, the colored people of St. Louis, inspired by the achievements of colored business men in other cities and encouraged by its local Negro Business league, are branching out rapidly and successfully into various lines of activities. One of the most complete men's furnishing stores conducted by colored men in the country is to be found here in this city, conducted by Clark & Smith. The largest and most modern steam laundry, owned and operated by colored men, is one of St. Louis' boasted colored co-operative enterprises. The drug stores, print shops, grocery stores, newspapers and cafes are now equal to the best to be found in other parts of the country. The schools are among the best in the country—best buildings, best equipped, best managed and possessing a corps of the best prepared teachers. No city compares with St. Louis for the magnificence of its colored churches, and no city's colored pulpithears surpass in elegance and preparedness the colored ministers of this city nor in their rare devotion. I was of course particularly interested in learning of business progress among our people. I ascertained, after four days' careful investigation, that the colored people of this city have $150,000 invested in business enterprises, that they own $250,000 worth of real estate and that the men and women engaged in business and professions are injecting into their work rare energy and an admirable personal service which makes for success. I also ascertained that the race is represented as owners and conductors of the following businesses: Men's furnishings, groceries, meat markets, drug stores, coffee and teas, undertakers, livery, shoe repairing, motion stores, printing, publishing, horseshoeing, theremets, cafes, laundry, hair culture, etc. I found the local Negro Business league, recently organized, under that splendid business man, W. C. Gordon, has become a very potent factor in propagating the doctrine of business and professional cooperation. While here every opportunity was offered to me to get at the real facts concerning the race's progress along business lines. In few places have I enjoyed greater curioses. There are seven colored lawyers, seven colored dentists and twenty-one colored physicians. They are topnotchers in their respective professions and appear to be enjoying splendid practices which their ability deserves and warrants. Dr. Ernest Harris, Dr. Wilson and Dr. W. H. Mosby, the druggists, have indicated race progress with their modernly furnished and largely stocked drug stores, the former having two stores. C. K. Robinson, one of the most public spirted race men I have had the good fortune to meet, is making splendid success with his modern, up to date printing establishment, and one must go far to find a cafe to equal in appointments and cuisine the one conducted by Mr. Ferguson. A few of the men who are pushing the business spirit among colored people in this city and who are outlining in their efforts to make the race commercially strong in Missouri's metropolis are O. K. Robinson, W. C. Gordon. Dr. Ernest Harris, William Osborn, E. L. Williams, A. Russell, T. J. Nevins, R. H. Stanton, W. H. Mosby, with Messrs. Flicklin, Ferguson, Calloway, Clark and Smith. The cause of the race here in the Mound City is mostably championed by two enterprising newspapers which stand for the best among the members of the fourth estate: It was while here I renewed an old acquaintance with Professor Richard Cole, principal of one of the colored schools, whom I knew familiarly years ago as Dick Cole of Cincinnati. He is still the vigorous man of twenty-five years ago and a senior idiot asset to the public school system. WE HAVE IT Madison 4125-2785 TERRELL & McNEILL PHARMACISTS "Different from the rest." Cor.

Wormley, at the 1st Baptist Church. If it had been a pleasant day and if we hadn't all been out of sorts with our luck we should have had a word of welcome for the stranger as he entered our camp that wretched afternoon. As it was fifty of us saw him leave Chinese trail at Dead Man's Elbow and walk into our camp, and never a man rose up to salute him. The stranger seemed to expect just such a reception—that is, he didn't seem a bit surprised. He passed down the single street we had named Road to Riches, turned to the left at the lone pine tree, and without once looking around him he staked off a claim and began to erect a shanty. "Bad man, I'm afeared," growled Judge Slasher as he partly closed one eye and gave the stranger the benefit of the squint. "Bin bounced out of some camp for stealin'," added the big chap from Kentucky. "Tell you he's got a hangdog look," put in the man known as "Obio Bill." Every man in the camp was down on the fresh arrival and that without cause. Ordinarily we were a jolly set, and a stranger coming among us met with words of cheer, but that afternoon the devil was to pay. The three mules belonging to our camp had strayed off and been gobbled up by the Indians, and on the heels of this discovery came the announcement that we had only salt enough to last two days, while the sugar was entirely gone. Two weeks had passed, and, while some of us had given the stranger a curt "Good morning," no one shook hands with him or entered his shanty to smoke a friendly pipe. Then a climax came. The six of us, occupying one shanty, were working in common, and our bag of dust was buried in a corner of the fireplace. One morning this bag was missing, and you can imagine that there was a first class row in no time. There was the hole where some one had dug under the stones and carried off the treasure, and whom we were to suspect? Yes, we were mad, and in the excitement of the first discovery we came near having a free fight among ourselves. It increased our anger to discover that we could not reasonably suspect any one, and this fact made every one of us try harder to pick up a clew. At length Judge Slasher sprang to his feet with the exclamation: "By the bones of Kidd, I know the thief" "Who is he?" "That hangdog, sheep stealing stranger! Hang me if I didn't dream of his coming in here last night to borrow a shovel, and it was his digging under the stones which started that dream. He has held aloof from us, and that's proof enough that he came here for no good purpose." It was a straw to catch at. We had lost in a night all we had gained by months of hard work, and we didn't stop to reason. It was decided to lay the charge at the stranger's door, and if he could prove his innocence so much the better for him. The news that the White House, as we called our shanty, had been robbed spread like wildfire, and as we started for the stranger's claim our crowd numbered a full hundred. As the crowd swooped down on the man he started off at a run. "Halt, halt, halt, or we'll shoot!" shouted a score of men. "He's the thief—stop him, stop him!" roared the judge. Five or six shots were fired almost as one, and the fugitive tumbled forward on the rocks. Three bullets entered his back, and as the foremost men bent over him and turned his white, scared face to the heavens he gasped out: "You have murdered me! God forgive you!" "Now to search him," said the judge as he came up, and half a dozen bands made quick work of it. Resting on his breast and made fast to his neck by a ribbon was a package wrapped in oil-skin. There was a flutter of exelment as the judge rudely snapped the string and held the package in his hand. It was our dust? No! We formed a circle around the judge as he sat on a rock and opened the package, and in less than a minute there were white faces among us. What were the contents? A photograph of a fair faced middle aged woman, and on the card was written: "Mary-died June 19, 1857." That was the dead man's wife. There was a second photograph-that of a babe about a year old—and the judge read aloud in a trembling voice: "Our Harry—and April 4, 1808. That was not all. On a card were locks of their hair. And we were looking down upon those things and feeling our hearts' swelling up and our eyes growing misty when up comes our good for nothing, half witted cook with the bag of dust in his hand. In repairing the fireplace he had moved the bag, and in the excitement over its supposed loss, what little wilt he had frightened away for the moment. The hole under the stones had been made by some small animal in search of food, and in our hustle we had accused and murdered an innocent man! With sorrow, with tenderness, with hearts like children, we dug a grave and put the poor body into it, and with his own hands the judge planted the headboard and engraved thereon: M.

Last Friday evening in the Lyric, at a mass meeting of Democrats held in the interest of the candidacy of the Hon. Isaac Lobe Straus, for the United States, Mr. Straus delivered a very radical and democratic speech. If Mr. Straus were an honest man and meant fully the words he uttered, there is no reason on earth why he should not receive the honest and cordial support of colored men. But, until Mr. Straus comes out clearly and states that when he says "all men," he really means "all men" many of us will understand that his democracy is confined exclusively to "all men" with white skins, of course, including Jews. We are not at all unkind in such a reference to Mr. Straus. His words are true and just. We heartly indorse his utterances. But here is the rub. Mr. Straus preaches one thing, and practices quite another. After he had taken the oath of office, as attorney General of this State, to support the Constitution of the Federal Government, with that oath fresh in his memory, he gave himself to the task of inventing same means whereby, under the sanction of law, a part of the National Constitution might be nullified, and a whole race of people politically lynched. Was Mr. Straus a true democrat when he was conspiring to take away the liberties of a people who were and are the victim of the same mean and hateful "race prejudice", which is at present, secretly but effectively, hindering Mr. Straus in his effort to become a United States Senator from Maryland. How can Mr. Straus represent himself as a candidate of "humanity," when right in his own city and State there are over two hundred thousand people suffering from the effects of the same vile "race prejudice" which faces the "Jew in other countries, and which faces Mr. Straus, at present, although undercover, in his present contest, and yet for all this he had not one word of sympathy for black "humanity." But this is not all. Not having sympathy for the colored man in his struggles, he gave himself to the same crowd, now against him, to help increase the disabilities of black "humanity" by inventing the barbarous and shameful practices of "disfranchisement," and "jim crowism." Mr. Straus is not going to succeed in his present contest. The reason is just this. He is a brilliant man, and a genuine student of history and government. That being the case, and being a Jew, he cannot be unmindful of the wickedness of "race prejudice." The people must know that if Isaac Lobe Straus can be used against one part of struggling "humanity" he cannot be trusted to be true to any party of the same struggling and handicapped humanity. OUTLIVED HIS USEFULNESS. The New York Age under the caption "Dismantling Shaw University," notes the change in the curriculum of the medical school from one to two years, and the closing of the Law School and the Hospital. It adds "We wonder if all this does not come about on account of a few students rebelling against the authority of Dr. Meserve some months ago. We wonder if it is worth while to try to punish a whole race on account of what a few thoughtless students do." We have remarked in these columns on two previous occasions the growing discontent that is continually manifesting itself in Negro schools administered by white faculties. The rebellion of the students at Shaw University may have furnished the immediate cause of the dismantling that has followed, but the primary cause lies far deeper. There is not the spirit of service and sympathy in the younger generation of whites that we found in the old abolitionists but rather the inclination towards bossism and exploitation. Our autocratic university president knows better than the people he is serving what is best for them. Left to President Meserve there would be no professions for the Negro except the Ministry; for the rest of our people domestic service and agriculture would still be open. But one more step remains, the industrializing of the college. Here lies the first cause, and there could be no better argument for the administration of our own schools. The "Age" terms the rebellion of the Shaw students "thoughtless" but admits that "Dr. Meserve has made the mistake of catering to the narrow prejudices and whims of certain classes in Raleigh and North Carolina," and therefore "cannot be of any further service in our opinion, in the educational work of our people in North Carolina." In other words, for that community Dr. Meserve has outlived his usefulness. In the face of the disapprobation of community and student body, where all school authority ultimately rests, the Doctor refuses to resign. This refusal to yield to the supreme authority is not one whit different from the protest and rebellion of the students against presidential authority. Their action in this light can hardly be termed other than thoughtful, and as a fearless attempt to stand for what they believe right, is worthy of the highest praise. NO HURRY ABOUT IT. For quite a number of years the Colored Young Women's Christian Association has been a self sustaining institution, collecting it funds from its membership, and occasionally from an entertainment or public collection, assisted by a few of its white friends with funds and words of encouragement. Recently a rally was held in the interest of the Central Association at which time it was urged upon the colored Association that it should also hold a rally for ten thousand dollars. This rally was held and the amount asked for pledged by the generous public. It is stated that efforts have been put forth to have the Colored Association turn over its property, valued at about seven thousand dollars or more, with a fund of at least fifteen hundred dollars at this time, and the balance of the collections yet to be made to the Central Association, and henceforth the Association will be managed and controlled as a Branch Association by the Central Young Women's Christian Association. This may be a good proposition, and no doubt will be taken up in course of time, but up to the present the Central Association has not made itself clear as to what it intends to do for the C. Y. W. C. A., in consideration of its turning its property over to it. It seems clear therefore that before any such proposition should be at all entertained that a definite promise of a well equipped building, properly located, should be be forthcoming, and a definite understanding as to how it is to be maintained. We do not believe the colored people of this city will be satisfied with anything less. Whenever this proposition is entertained it should be well understood that it is going to be one that will give to Baltimore one of the largest and best equipped institutions of its kind in the country, and proper arrangements made for its maintenance. There is no hurry about it. It took years of hard labor to build the present institution, and those who have recently come into it and have given but little labor, money or influence to it should be advised by those who have given both of time, labor and money to bring it to its present commanding influence in the community, before going too far in the matter. THE "PAGEANT OF LIFE TO BE A REAL Much interest is being in the "Pageant of Life, tomimic dance festival to duce under the auspice Teacher' Training School Association on June 17, Academy of Music Conc The festival, which is arr take up just one hour, presented upon a stage background of hugh pl DESERVES SUCCESS. Brown's Grove and the Steamer Starlight have become popular institutions to the colored people of this city, and they well deserve it. Commencing several years ago, with a "little tub" as it was popularly called, it has grown to its present proportions because of good business management and catering to the better class of our people. Year after year we have watched it grow, and yet it seems that it has not reached its full growth. This year the management has made a number of improvements and we have the promise that each year come to these improvements will continue to grow until Baltimore shall have one of the largest and best recreation institutions in the country. Success has come to the management because it has deserved it. We wish that it may continue. Boat and grove are owned by the management and it is safe to say that the steamer Starlight is the only steamer in the country owned and controlled by colored people and that every man on the boat from Captain to roust-about is an Afro-American. This is something to be proud of, and we are proud of Captian Brown, the Steamer Starlight and Brown's Grove. THE FORUM I wish to state my utmost and profound surprise when I read of the Johnson-Hamer case being filed in court by our worthy City Councilman, Harry S. Cummings. It all seems like a "temperst in teapot" and does everything else but further the advancing cause of our beautiful neighborhood and our race. Mr. Hamer has not scandalized Mr. Johnson or anyone else, but instead, has raised the standard of his community involved by showing what this people will tolerate. Mr. Hamer and all of his petitioners believe that a "stitch in time saves nine" and I glory in their spunk and attitude. I really believe our city councilman acted on the spur of the moment when he accepted such a trivial case. The citizens of Baltimore, expect him of all others to fight for our advancement and help us to standardize rather than fight for the things that cause segregation and prejudice. The locality involved is the garden spot of choice homes, owned and inhabited by the most representative people of our race, and there are no less than one hundred children who live in this neighborhood, whose innocence and purity appeal to every citizen of protection, and it is up to Mr. Johnson to join us in helping to wipe out these things that have years been the white man's hobby. Mr. Hamer acted upon the information as any wise man and father would have done, and we ask Mr. Johnson to recall to his memory that information whispered to SOMEBODY. We welcome Mr. Johnson and family to our community and pray that he remain the true citizen that he has always been, and join us in our fight for advancement and clean communities. AN OBSERVER. TRAINING SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT The annual commencement exercises of the Teachers' Training School will be held at the Lyric next Saturday night. A sermon to the class of 1914 will be preached by Rev. I. N. Ross at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church this Sunday morning. The members of the classes are as follows: Frank Edgar Barnes, Misses Mary R. Allen, Nettie V. Barnett, Hattie B. B. Hicks, Adah E. V. Penn, Margaret L. Rusk, Myrtle G. Smith, Edna L. Waters, Nannie W. Gray, Sarah F. James, Mabel Edna Locks and Jane Contee Smith.

Music in attendance. Tickets 10 Cents. Mrs. Maggie Parker, President. Miss Mary Cromwell, See'y. Rev. M. J. Naylor, Pastor. THE "PAGEANT OF LIFE" Much interest is being manifest in the "Pageant of Life," a pantomimic dance festival to be produced under the auspices of the Teacher' Training School Alumni Association on June 17, in the Academy of Music Concert Hall. The festival, which is arranged to take up just one hour, will be presented upon a stage with a background of hugh plants in order to give the appearance of an out of-door scene. With appropriate costumes, electrical and calcium effects the festival will afford a spectacular scene long to be remembered. Much-a-do is heard of pageants and festivals these days and it is only because of the great importance that these festal scenes play in connection with the actual life of an individual. By a festival one can easily portray the greatest episodes in the making of life history of a nation, race or individual. "The Pageant of Life", under the direction of Mr. Lewis H. Murray aims to portray the fancies, and not the facts of life. These fancies are at all times given through the idea of dance, and the scenes pass rapidly from infancy to old age. The Concert Hall of the Academy of Music is wonderfully adapted to a performance of this kind, and at the same time is spacious and provided with floor that affords excellent dancing, which begins at 9 o'clock. DELIGHTFULLY ENTERTAIN FRIENDS. Mrs. Ella Barber, of 1008 Carrollton avenue, gave a reception on Friday night in honor of her sister Miss Pauline Blanchard, of Mystic, Conn., formerly of Baltimore.

Dearest mother how we miss you Since from earth you passed away And our hearts are aching sorely As we think of you each day Oh beauteous soul your sun has set In what fair clime to rise again We know not yet But somewhere, though, beyond our ken Futhermore a day is dawning Where hearts clasp hands and cry "Good Morning." By her children, Mrs. Lucretia John- Mrs. Ella Watts, Mrs. Amandy Handy Grandma, our home is sad and dreary Lonesome, lonely, every spot; We listen for your voice till weary Weary for we hear it not.

A. Williams and Miss Lottie Williams. WOOLFORD- In sad but loving remembrance of our dear daughter and sister, who departed this life one year ago today, June 13, 1913 In the graveyard softly sleeping Where the flowers gently wave Lies the one we love so dearly In her lonely silent grave O chide us not for weeping For sorrow shades our brow She has gone from us to heaven We have no Ethel now. Time flies and never will it bring On earth the one to whom we cling How often standing near the tomb We sigh for you in deepest gloom. By her parents and brothers LANE—In kind and loving memory of our dear father, John H, Lane, who de parted this life June 10, 1908, six years ago today. Dear I am sad and lonely Since you have gone away And it seems there is no pleasure In this world for me I often sit and wonder at what you would think or say If you only knew the changes that have happened since you've been away O the memory of that morning As I stood with aching heart Watching the one I loved so dearly Pierced by death's most awful dart. Long years, dear father Since you were called away And my heart is still aching Just as it did that day.

RICH President of the Board of Directors of Provident Hospital --- GUNNER ISSUES APPEAL. Independent Political League's President Says Race Should Get Together. The.Rev. Byron Gunner, president of the National Independent Political league, has issued from Millburn, N. Y., an appeal to the league and the colored race to rally and prepare to hold a national convention on the maltreatment of colored Americans. The appeal says: The time for the seventh annual meeting of the league is fast approaching, and we should now begin arrangements for it. Serious indeed were the conditions relating to our race and country that made necessary the birth and mission of our league, but existing conditions, and the immediate future outlook respecting our racial and rational affairs are incomparably more serious than at any time during the past fifty years. And never has it been more imperative, that Negro-American thinkers and voters should get together than today. The National Independent Political league, though as an organization only six years in the conflict, occupies a place in the front ranks of those who are contending for the full manhood rights and for the political emancipation of our people. Our league's unswerving fidelity to these vital questions is its unanswerable argument for refusing to lay down our arms and to retire from the battlefield. "The south is in the saddle," and the most vital interests of our people are more seriously imperiled than ever before. The outlook is threatening, and our enemies never seemed more emboldened and determined to accomplish our ruin than now. Should the present national administration and the white south and the acquiescing north continue to persist in their work of segregation and other forms of wicked injustice to our people they cannot fail to force the "Negro question" to the very front and to make it the gravest and the greatest political and social issue of our day and generation. Present conditions demand a race organization among us through which our people themselves can best contend for their involved interests. Such an organization must be made up of men and women of the race who are brave and courageous enough to think and act for themselves and to cast their ballot with perfect freedom and independence. Just such an organization is the National Independent Political league. Having entered the political field in defense of our oppressed people, we shall not hesitate when necessary to attack and fight any man or set of men or any party or measures whose principles and efforts may tend to endanger the "war amendments" or to work any injustice to the 10,000,000 of our Negro-American brethren. We shall, as in the past, continue to reserve the freedom to work with whatever party which will give our people the fairest deal and to withdraw from and oppose any party that may prove resentant in its duties and pledges in behalf of our people. It need never be expected that our league can ever be made the property of any political party. We shall continue to educate and elevate among the masses of our people the spirit of political independence. A GREAT RESIGNATION DAY Monday, June 8th, was a great resignation day at the Colored Baptist Ministers Conference, which met at Union Baptist Church, Druid Hill avenue and Lanvale street, when fourteen ministers, of the conference handed in their resignations, and they will unit with the members of the Emergency Baptist Association, of which Dr. Junius Gray is president, and will organize a new Baptist ministers conference on Monday, June 11, at the Fulton Baptist Church, Division street near Gold. The meeting is called at 11 a. m. Everybody welcome. This thing shall not be done in a corner. Dr. Gray is one of the most successful organizers in the Baptist ranks. His watch word is "Go Forward."

Will call 4t "Out of the House of Bondage" is the name of the newest volume from the pen of America's keenest thinker of color. The title suggests Booker T. Washington's "Up From Slavery," but any other analogy must end there. Mr. Washington's book is autobiographical, aiming to inspire Negro youth to strive as manfully, and in the same way as the founder of Tuskegee. Dean Miller presents ten essays previously published in various magazines of the country put here in book form. The author states that the essays do not pretend a formal solution of the racial problem. "yet it is believed that they deal with the fundamental principles and issues that must be involved in any proposed scheme of solution." These chapters written at different times with an immediate aim in view very naturally lack continuity, and subject us to repetitions of thought in the same and different language. "The Negro Priesthood like Melchizadek of old spreng into existence without antecedants or preparation;" or "He (the Negro) was supposed to represent a lower order of creation a little more than animal, a little less than human." loses some of their force at the third or fourth reading. A far greater offence against the law of form is the spelling of the constantly recurring word Negro, "negro." Care is taken to capitalize Jew or Japanese, African or Asiatic. Dean Miller does here without thought what the ordinary white man commits by design and intends as an insult. This volume attacks the problem from two postions that are strikingly characteristic of the author. He stands, as it were, with "one foot on the ten commandments and the other on the binomial theorem." The solution of the racial problem confronting the people of America must take into account the benevolent agency of Christianity. Despite the present materialistic impulse to substitute intolerance for the Golden Rule, and the dollar for the God of Abraham and Isaac, "until there is developed a higher sanction, which transcends the physiological basis of flesh and blood and the desideratum of the market place, there can never be peace and good will among the rival nations and races of men." Moreover the friction of the black and white races in the United States must be regarded as the local and temporary manifestation of the struggle for racial equilibrium "which has filled the pages of history, is now operating in all the ends of the earth and is projected to the ages yet to be." The relative position of the Negro and the Caucasian in this country are to be explained, not as isolated phenomenon, but in the light of the relation of the more enlightened and the ignorant, wherever the latter are undergoing the process of leveling up. From this standpoint it is not difficult to account for the Negro's "criminal predisposition" or his "intellectual and moral inferiority" the crowded jails of the South or the vacant benches in the Northern schoolhouses. Hardly less interesting are Dean Miller's analysis of the Ministry as the fairest field for the Talented Tenth, and prophecy of the present trend and ultimate physical destiny of the race.

Marbodaeus, the famous French writer, says the Loadstones can make husbands agreeable to wives and may restore wives to husbands. It prevents ill fortune, repels evil influences, etc. A scientific writer says, "Now if great scholars, kings, emperors scientists, generals and men and women who are successful in all walks of life believe that the Loadstones are the cause of their wonderful happiness, personal influence, popularity and success, what are you going to belive?

EUTAW STREET BALTIMORE, MARYLAND PHYSICIAN AND BUSINESS MAN How Dr. H. M. Green Solves Hard Problems. Steady Advance of Man Who Worked His Way Through College, Founded Hospital and Became Foremost. In His Profession — Great Organizer, Promoter and Devout Churchman. Knoxville, Tenn. — From a farmer in a hackwoods county in Georgia to one of the leading physicians and surgeons of the race is the record of Dr. Henry M. Green of this city, who enjoys a lucrative practice and is foremost in almost everything that is for the moral and intellectual development of his people. He was born in Barton county, La., Aug. 26, 1876. He received his early education in the public schools of his native county, after which he entered Knoxville college, where he prepared for his professional work. He graduated in 1885, having worked his way through college. His parents were unable to give him any assistance in his school work, but he decided that an education was within his reach and declared that he was going to have it. He believed in the proverb, "Where there is a will there is a way." He had the will and found a way. With his little learning from the Georgia public school he was prepared to do three things—be a Pullman porter, work in the coal mines or teach school. He used one of these during the vacations and did not have trouble in finding employment. He was a college graduate in bed making on a sleeping car and in digging in the coal mines, and every dollar earned in these places he invested in brains. Finishing at Knoxville college, he decided to study medicine because he had made up his mind to be a physician and surgeon. He went to Chicago, and when the Northwestern university threw open its doors in September, 1890, he was among the first to enter. He made such rapid progress that he was appointed an intern in the postgraduate medical school in Chicago. In this he got both theory and practice. He served out his time and then returned to Knoxville and finished his work in the Knoxville Medical college in 1901. Dr. Green decided to take a more thorough course in medicine and surgery and went to Edinburgh, where he pursued these subjects under the most competent instructors. While in Scotland he visited London, Vienna and Berlin. He gained much general knowledge by travel and observation. Having well qualified himself for his profession he returned to America and began the practice of medicine in Knoxville, Tenn. In order to have the best facilities for doing real work, he established the first hospital among our people in this section of the country. He has been doing general surgical work ever since. He is now the surgeon in chief of the Wallace Memorial hospital in this city, where he performs many difficult operations during the year. It is putting it mildly to say that Dr. Green ranks with such surgeons as Drs. D. H. Williams and G. C. Hall of Chicago'and Dr. A. M. Curtis of Washington. As a churchman he is very active, being a member of the Mount Zion Baptist church and is chairman of the trustee board. When it comes to the promotion of education he is always found in the front. At this time he is an active trustee of Roger Williams university, Nashville, Tenn., and Nelson Merry college, Jefferson City, Tenn. He is one of the surgeons for the Knoxville, Severnville and Eastern Railroad company, the first member of his race in this city to hold such a position and the only one. For four years Dr. Green was a member of the Knoxville city council, and during his administration one of the best school buildings in the state was erected, and it now bears his name. As a member of the city council he had the respect of all the members and the personal friendship of the mayor of the city. One year ago Dr. Green called to together several men with money and told them that it was possible for the trace to operate a coal yard in Knoxville. While many people said that it would not do, be convinced Dr. J. J Johnson and C. H. Fisher, and they put down the money. Thus the Colored Coal company, with a capital stock of $5,000, all paid in, was begun. A coal yard was fitted up, and because of the business standing of Dr. Green there was no trouble in getting all the coal needed. The Southern railroad delivers carloads of coal into the yard regularly. It is the largest coal business in the country operated by the race. Thousands of dollars' worth of coal is being unloaded into the yard, and large contracts have already been signed for coal for next winter. Five wagons are busy, and when next winter sets in it will be necessary to put on almost as many more. Employment is being furnished to a number of men of the race and young women as clerks, bookkeepers and stenographers. This is the way to solve the race problem. Dr Green has invested some money in real estate and owns a partial home. NEW BUSINESS DIRECTORY. Volume Compiled by W. H. Wright Contains Much Valuable Information. Nashville, Tenn. - There has recently been issued from the press of the N ational Baptist Publishing house of this city a very neat and creditable direc tory of Nashville's colored citizens. Directories of colored business men and women have been got out in Chil- icago, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Atlanta, Savannah and other cities, but this recent directory perhaps the first of its kind ever published. The book, which contains over 100 pages, with a list of the businesses, professions, secret societies, churches, etc. was compiled by Whittier H. Wright, a son of President R. R. Wright of the Georgia State college, Savannah, and a brother of Dr. R. R. Wright. Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder of Philadelphia. Mr. Wright is attending the Mehray Medical college of this city and is a recognized expert and specialist in this particular line of work, having made studies and published directories of Negroes of Philadelphia, Savannah, Ga.; Chester, Pa., and other cities. The directory proper contains the name and address of every colored family in the city, and there is also a [Pictured] WHITTIER H. WRIGHT. list of all those owning property. The book is illustrated with cuts and sketches of buildings and leading business and professional men and women. Some things that may prove of interest to the public is that Nashville has a colored population of over 40,000. There are two banks operated by our people, eighty-eight public school teachers, sixty-two physicians, three drug stores, sixteen graduate nurses, five newspapers, nine lawyers, sixty-three restaurants, forty-five showmakers, seventy-eight barber shops, eight dentists, 108 dressmakers, forty-four hair culturists, thirty-six music teachers, fifteen milliners, fifty-two grocery stores, two jewelry stores, nine moving picture parlors and seven office buildings. Within her borders may be found Mekarry Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical colleges, Walden university, Fisk university, Roger Williams, Tennessee, State Normal school, Tennessee Blind school, Nashville institute and the Fireside schools. Nashville is the home of three colored bishops—Bishop Evans Tyree of the A. M. E. church, Bishop C. H. Phillips of the C. M. E. church and Bishop J. B. Scott, African bishop of the M. E. church. Nashville has at least ten colored citizens estimated to be worth $100,000. It is the headquarters for the National Baptist Publishing house, the largest publishing and printing plant owned by our people in the world. It also has a colored fire engine company. The directory has a good many interesting facts heretofore unknown to the general public. Mr. Wright was assisted in his work by D. A. Hart, editor of the Nashville Globe, the leading Negro Journal in Tennessee. CLIFTON FORGE NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL Interesting Program Marks Closing Exercises at a Virginia Institution. Clifton Forge, Va.—The commencement season at the Clifton Forge (Va.) Normal and Industrial institute came to a successful close on Monday evening. June I. Rev. Dr. R. C. Pannell, pastor of the Elmore Baptist church at Staunton Va., and president of the Berean Valley Baptist association, delivered the principal address. For three days the school was the scene of many festivities among the students, patrons of the school and visitors. The good influence of the school is being felt by the people throughout this section of the state. The Ret. D. W. Hill, B. D., president of the institution, is well fitted for the position and is doing a great work. The commencement program was splendidly arranged. The subjects were practical and were well discussed by the students. The salutatory address was delivered by Allen Poudleton. The annual address to the Excelsior Literary society, of which Mrs. Corn M. Powell is president, was delivered by the Rev A. R. Montague of Eastern Shore, Va. The annual sermon to the school was delivered by Rev. Dr. W. W. Kenny of Lexington, Va. Among others who took an active part in the various exercises aside from the students were Dr. E. T. Conner, M. D.; Revs. W. W. Nelson, W. D. Scott, Thomas H. White, D. D. Rev. D. H. A. Stevens and the Rev. E. S. Pogue President Hill will begin at once his plans for the fall term which opens Thursday, Oct. 1. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson XI.—Second Quarter, For June 14, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES Text of the Lesson, Luke xviii; 9-14; xix, 1-10—Memory Verses, 19, 10—Golden Text, Mark ii, 17—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stears. Perhaps there are no people more difficult to deal with or to live with than those who, like the Pharisees, pride themselves upon their own righteousness, which in the sight of God is only as filthy rags (lsa. lxiv, 6) and can in no case entitle one to enter the kingdom (Matt. v. 20). The righteousness which is required by God must be absolutely perfect, an unbroken law, for "whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point he is guilty of all" (das. ii. 10). The law is so holy and righteous that no sinful man can keep it, and it was never intended to give life, but to prove our guilt, shut our mouths and lead us to Christ, who is God's perfect righteousness and the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. There is no Saviour or salvation for a righteous man in the Bible—that is, for such as think themselves righteous—but only for sinners. In connection with the murmuring of the Pharisees when our Lord called Matthew or Levi, the publican, and Levi made him a fount in his own house, at which a great company of publicans and others were present, our Lord said: "They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sled. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance" (Luke v. 31, 32). On another occasion He said to the chief priests and elders, "Verily I say unto you that the publicans and the harbors go into the kingdom of God before you" (Matt. xxi. 23, 31). To this day there gry churchgoers and church members who, "being ignorant of God's righteousness and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God" (Rom. x. 3). It is indeed a fearful thing to be satisfied with oneself and have no conviction of sin. In the first part of our lesson today the Charissee did not pray to God, did not ask God for anything, did not seem to need anything, but prayed with himself and told God what a good man he was and how much good he did and how thankful he was that he was not a bad man nor even like that publican. Truly he was well satisfied with his righteous self. The publican had no goodness to prove his righteousness, nothing good to say of himself, but he did have a consciousness of his own sinfulness, and from his heart he said, "God be merciful to me, a sinner." In the margin of the revised version it is, "God be propitiated to me, the sinner." Weymouth has it, "O God, he reconciled to me, sinner that I am." The Lord Jesus Christ who reads all hearts, the only Saviour of sinners, the only judge of all men, said that the publican went to his home justified. I like the definition of justification which I learned in Sunday school when I was a boy, and, if I remember correctly, it read thus: "Justification is an act of God's free grace, wherein He paronthol all our sins and accepteth us as righteous in His sight only for the righteousness of Christ, imputed unto us and received by faith alone." In the second part of our lesson we have a rich publican who had a desire to see Jesus, and, though he did not seem to have the same conviction of sin as the poor publican, he, too, was welcomed and saved. He was a prominent man, chief among the publicans. He was not prominent as to his physical appearance, for he was little of stature. He was not what one might call dignified, for he ran and climbed up into a tree. His thought evidently was to see without being seen. How surprised beyond measure he must have been to see Jesus look up and to hear Him call him by name and to bear Him say, "Make haste and come down, for today I must abide at thy house" (verse 5). Was this something exceeding abundantly above all that Zaechens had ever thought to come his way, or was it the Saviour's recognition of a desire which He had actually seen in the heart of this man? (Eph. ii. 20; Ezek. xl. 5; Ps. exly, 10.) I cannot tell, but I do know that the "handfuls of purpose" which the Lord drops for those who seek Him and for those who seek to serve Him are truly wonderful (Duth ii. 15, 16). We do not wonder that Zaccheus made haste and came down and received Him joyfully (verse 6). 'Any one but a Pharisee would if he only understood what it meant. According to John 1. 12, Zaccheus thus became a child of God and according to 1 John 11. 12, had there and then the forgiveness of his sins—freely justified, as was the other publican. There is only one salvation and one way of salvation for rich or poor. It was foreshadowed in the atonement money of Israel, concerning which it was commanded. "The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel" (Ex. xxx. 11-15). That which Zaccheus said he did in verse 8 was part of the evidence that he had become a child of God, for, while no works of ours can obtain or help to obtain salvation, the good works must follow as a result (Eph. II: 10; Titt. III: 50). Weymouth translates: "Here and now I give. * * * I pledge myself to repay to him four times the amount." AT DELIGHT, BALTO, CO.
