THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER --- VOL. XXII. NO.43 VIRTUAL SLAVERY IN CHARLES COUNTY La Plata, Md., June 18.—That right in Charles county, Md. virtual slavery for many colored children exists is the assertion made by those who know of quite a number of colored children being apprenticed to white families. This fact was brought out in the recent habeas corpus proceedings instituted in the Circuit Court by Mrs. Cornelia Edmonds, a property owner in the county. Nearly twelve years ago a child was born on Mrs. Edmonds' place. She undertook to raise the little one, who was early left an orphan. Mrs. Edmonds was called to Baltimore sometime ago on a business matter and left the child in the care of a colored man. When she returned he refused to give the child back again. Last year the Orphans' Court turned the child over to Former Sheriff Benjamin Compton, with the stipulation that the girl, whose name is Viola Walker; be given an education. Miss Mabel Marlowe, a daughter of Mrs. Edmonds, made an investigation and not only found out that the child had been given no education by her new guardians, but that she did not even know the alphabet. Miss Marlowe called the attention of Attorney W. Ashbie Hawkins, of Baltimore, to the matter and the habeas corpus proceedings were instituted. The case was tried before Chief Judge John P. Briscoe and Associate Judges B. H. Caimier and Fillmore Beall. In handing down a decision against Compton, Judge Briscoe said that in view of the present conditions between the two races that it was impossible for a colored child to receive the same parental care in the home of a white family that it could receive in one of its own race. A SYSTEM OF PEONAGE There are said to be many similar cases in the county, which practically give white families free colored labor. Charles county has a very large colored population and has usually been dominated by the Republicans. The three judges who handed down the opinion releasing the Walker trial are Democrats, however That this condition is allowed to exist is said to be due to the convance of some colored men and women, as well as their active assistance in aiding whites who want to "adopt" a colored child. Wages are low here, there are many untilled farms and there is a lamentable lack of good school facilities. All of these short comings tend toward ignorance and economic dependence and creates conditions which allows this system of slavery. HOT CAMPAIGN IN CAMBRIDGE Cambridge, Md., June 18.—A hot campaign is being waged by Former Councilman H. M. St. Clair and Councilman Nehemiah Henry, both of whom were nominated in the primaries in the Third ward Tuesday of last week. The primary election was not without its exciting incidents there being four candidates in the field. The friends of H. M. St. Clair claimed that Mr. Henry had control of the election machinery and that Dr. S. E. Maloney, who served as a judge of elections, was biased in his rulings. Mr. St. Clair has served seven terms as a member of the City Council and is prominent in the affairs of the race in Dorchester JOHN H. HARRIS REV. JAM ES A. WRIGHT HIGH HONORS FOR BALTIMORE BOY dover Seminary Boston, Mass., June 19.—Rev. James A. Wright, pastor of the Congregational Church at Haverill, received the degree of bachelor of sacred theology from Andover Theological Seminary Monday. He is the first colored student to receive that degree since 1907 and the fifth during the 106 years of the seminary. He also received the degree of bachelor of the science of theology from the divinity school of Harvard University yesterday, and thereby earned the distinction of being the first colored student to receive degrees from both institutions within the same scholastic year. Mr. Wright was born in Baltimore and received his academic training at Howard University, Washington. Alonzo L. Jackson, of Englewood, N. J., was the class orator at Harvard University yesterday. He enjoys the distinction of being the third colored man to receive a degree at a Harvard commencement, Clement G. Morgan, who was graduated in 1890, and Roscoe C. Simmons, who was graduated in 1902, being the other two. FLAG RAISING AT ATHOLTON A beautiful program was rendered at the raising of the United States flag over public School No. 3 under the direction of Mrs. M. M. Henry the teacher. The program consisted of songs and recitations by pupils of the school. Short speeches were made by patrons trustees and Rev. Wm. N. Holt, words of praise and appreciation were spoken in honor of Mrs. M. M. Henry whose ability as a teacher has made this one of the leading schools in the county. The flag was raised by Mr. David Johnson, one of the leaders, while the school sang. PREPARING TO STRENGTHEN FORCES The Emergency Baptist Convention, composed for the most par of smaller Baptist churches, is preparing to strengthen its forces. The seceding members of the Colored Baptist Convention will be taken in at the annual session of the convention, which begins on July 1. ORGANIZED NEW ASSOCIATION Over 50 ministers, including Revs. J. H. Taylor W. J. Winston, M. A. Kyle, James Burley and others once connected with Colored Baptist Ministerial Meeting, met at Fulton Baptist Church last Monday and organized the Unity Baptist Ministerial Meeting. COMMENCEMENT AT WILBERFORCE Rev. A. L. Gaines Preaches Bac cauleurate Sermon--Preminent Visitors Present Xenia, O.. June 19.—In the presence of the bishops of the A. M. E. Church, many of the alumni and prominent visitors from all sections of the country the commencement exercises came to a close Thursday with the conferring of degrees. Congressman Frank B. Willis delivered an inspiring address to the graduates. Commencement week began last Friday, when Rev. Dr. J. C. Caldwell delivered an address to the religious societies. Rev. A. L. Gaines, of Baltimore, preached the baccalureate sermon Sunday morning and Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, of St. Louis, spoke to the students of Payne Theological Seminary at night. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois delivered the annual address to the literary societies Monday night and Rev. H. Y. Arnett was the speaker at the Alumni reunion Wednesday. The council of bishops opened its semi-annual session today. In the course of his baccalureate sermon, Dr. Gaines said: "I want to make those of you who have been blessed in this institution see that your culture is a talent which you may use to fill heaven and earth with your fame. I want to provoke those of intellectual power to put their gifts into some movement by which they may bless the present generation and project themselves into the distant future, for the man who covets the distinction of being serviceable to his fellow men and who goes out into the great harvest field of sinning and lost humanity, and gathers imperishable sheaves for the Heavenly Garner, God will build a monument—one towards which all lover of Christian truth and virtue will gaze with grateful homage and honor and in which the angels of heaven will sing their Gloria in Excelsis. "Humanity needs you to enter the arena with the symphony of service. A wandering and despised Jew, with a vision full of self abnegation and stretching beyond the confines of his despised race, declared this symphony. "I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." "I appeal to you to let Paul's be your symphony. Let Paul's he your symphony because Jesus Christ was his exemplar. His was the grandest life ever recorded. His was the life of the amplest benevolence and service. How majestically he moved among men, exemplifying every day of his life that self abnegation that must enter into every noble life. He mingled with the poor, helped the obscure, had compassion on the fallen. Wherever there was poverty or sin or suffering, thither he directed his footstens. His was a noble life—a life of sacrifice, of devotion to others, of well doing, a life of grandeur which has been speaking for nineteen hundred years." CLOSING EXERCISES AT FAIRFIELD Fairfield, Md., June 18 —Closing exercises of the public school were held at the Colored M. E. Church. Through the efforts of the Educational School Club, sufficient funds were raised during the winter to keep the school open four months longer than the county appropriation warranted. Mrs. M. Estelle Hall is principal of the school. BAPTISTS FAVOR CONSOLIDATION Looking toward greater usefulness and influence of the work of colored Baptists in Maryland, a resolution was adopted at the meeting of the Cooperative Baptist Convention Thursday favoring consolidation with the Colored Baptist Convention. The executive board of the latter convention has already voted to agree to a condition. It is probable that the two ministerial meetings here will be merged before the covenions are consolidated. The meeting of the Cooperative Baptists which opened at Macedonia Baptist Church Monday, was the largest in the fourteen years of the convention. The first day was devoted to the work of the Baptist Young Peoples Union. At the session Tuesday, Rev. Dr. A. Brown, who has been president of the convention since its organization, declined to be a candidate again, stating that his growing age made it impossible to give the attention to the work that he desired. A vote extolling his services was taken and he was made president emeritus. The Sunday school auxiliary had charge of the program Wednesday. Papers and discussions of Sunday school work were the order of the day. T. F. Jones was reelected president. At the session Thursday morning reports on education, temperance and the state of the country were made. The afternoon was devoted to the work of the woman's auxiliary. Mrs. Julia Johns was elected president to succeed Mrs. Patience Harris. Rev. Dr. W. M. Alexander preached at night. He scored the tendency among some women to occupy pulpits with a blare of trumpets. The collections during the session exceeded $2,500. The following officers were elected: Revs. P. C. Neal, president; W. W Allen, R. B. H. Green, R. B. Ward, and G. H. Ethrige, vice presidents; David Bryant, corresponding secretary; J. Arthur Jones, recording secretary; Rev. W. B. Johnson, assistant secretary, and W. M. Alexander, treasurer. TO BUILD PYTHIAN SANATARIUM Hot Springs, Arkansas, June 17 —The Pythian Temple Sanatarium Commission met in the City of Hot Springs June 1st, for the purpose of letting the contract for the rebuilding of the Pythian Sanatarium destroyed in the fire of last September. In a very short time work will be at its height and a bath house for the rally much needed institution will be a reality rather than a dream. In addition a thoroughly equipped sanatarium will be above the bath house for the care of afflicted brethren. The personnel of the commission is as follows: S. W. Green, New Orieans, La.; Jos. L. Jones, Cincinnati; Dr. E. E. Underwood, Frankfort, Ky.; Dr. E. J. Stoney, Augusta, Ga.; Dr. C. M. Wade, Hot Springs, Ark; Rogers Sherman Texas; John Harris, Merian Miss.; OLD TIME LOVEFEAST Frederick, Md., June 18.—Quinn A. M. E. Church had an old time lovefeast last Friday night. There was much religious enthusiasm Sunday night the new. Presiding Elder. Rev. J W Norris, preached to a large and attentive audience. CLASSY PROGRAM FOR BIG BENEFIT Some Of Best Acts On Vauceville Stage Will Help To Build Provident Hospital Look out for S. H. Dudley's prize mule Patrick; Patrick and his valet will arrive here today or Monday, and will spend their time advertising the big benefit that will be given at the Lyric for the benefit of the rebuilding fund of Provident Hospital next Thursday night. Patrick has been appearing this week with Mr. Dudley at the Lafayette Theater, New York City. He became so restless over the affair that is to be pulled off here that his master had to agree to let him come to Baltimore. Mr. Dudley himself is anxious that the benefit be a success, and cancelled an engagement in Chicago next week in order that he may aid the affair here. He will be the headliner at the performance next Thursday night. Others who will be here include Bob and May Kemp, Abbie Mitchell, an old Baltimore girl; Will Marion Cook, Effie King and Lottie Gee of the well known sister team of King and Gee and four other big acts. Ford T. Dabney will direct the music and the orchestra of Ford's Grand Opera House will play. It may be said that all of those who will take part in the performance come here at a sacrifice. The Lyric was, engaged this week, after it was found out that the Academy of Music would not be available until after the first of July. DOING GOOD WORK Quietly, but effectively, Provident Hospital has been doing a most praiseworthy work. It is the only place where the colored physicians of the city could carry their patients and look after them, such as white physicians do in the other hospitals of the city. It is the only place in the city where a colored patient of means may be given accommodations other than that provided for charity cases. The nurses are colored and most of them were and are being trained in the hospital. The head nurse, Miss Arnabel Wilson, is a graduate of the Freedmen's Hospital, Washington and has had considerable experience. The physicians connected with the hospital—and they include nearly all these practicing here—are graduates of the leading medical schools of the country. The hospital founded in 1894. The beginning of the movement started with a suggestion made by Dr. J. Marcus Cargill, one of the oldest physicians of the city. Dr. Cargill had conferences with Drs. W. T. Carr, Whitfield Winsey, C. H. Fowler, W. E. Harris., H. W. Thompson, R. M. Hall, Levin Dyer and J. James O. Creditt, the last named two now being dead, and the hospital was started. It was at first located on Orchard street, near McCulloh. Later the building at 413 W. Biddle street was secured, and then the one at 415 was added. Improvements are now being made which will add greatly to the beauty and usefulness of the institution. Thousands of patients have been successfully treated within the past 20 years. At one time the hospital received appropriations from both the city and Stare, but the former was cut off some years ago The early days of the College High School were recalled Thursday night at banquet given in honor of the class of '89 by the Alumni Association. The function was given at the High School and was largely attended. The class was the first to be graduated from the school, and this year marks the 25th anniversary of its graduation. James A. B. Callis, '01, was toastmaster, George B. Murphy, '00, spoke on "The Alumni Association;" Walter Scott, '89, read a history of the class, written by Mrs. A. Monroe Burgess. Mrs. Violet Warfield, '89, gave some remiscences of the class, which were prepared by Mrs. Gertrude Deaver Jefferson, of Chicago; Mason A. Hawkins, principal of the school, spoke on "Our Alma Mater," and George A. Owens, '98, responded to the toast of "The High School of the Future." The motto of the class "Through the Tempest to the Stars" was everywhere in evidence. There were nine members of the class of '89, two of them Mamie Neal and Nellie Anderson dying several years ago. The living members are: Mrs. Gertrude Anderson Burgess, Mrs. Gertrude Deaver Jefferson, Mrs. Fannie McCabe Waring, Walter Scott, William H. Murray, Mrs. Mary E. Taylor Rodman and Mrs. Violet Thompson Warfield, of Washington. VICTORY FOR N. A. A. C. P. The indictment against James Jenkins for violating the separate car law by refusing to take a "Jim Crow" seat on one of the cars of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railway when ordered, was quashed by Judge Elliott in the Criminal Court Tuesday, W. Ashbie Hawkins and Warney T. McGuinn, who were employed by the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to represent Mr. Jenkins, filed a demurrer to the indictment on the ground that it did not state whether or not the accused was riding from within the State to appoint without, or from a point without to a point within or wholly within the State. The Court of Appeals ruled in the Hart case that the separate car law did not affect interstate passengers. Should another indictment be returned against Mr. Jenkins and a conviction be secured, the case may eventually reach the United States Supreme Court in order to find out whether or not a State can delegate general police powers to an employee of a public service corporation. AN IMPORTANT RULING Annapolis, Md., June 18.—According to a ruling made by the State Board of Education, white persons must not be appointed supervisors of colored schools. The decision was rendered in the case of Miss Eleanor Drury, who has been supervisor in Anne Arundel county since the county has been receiving $1,500 annually from the State for industrial education among colored boys and girls. INMATES OF Y. W. C. A. ENTERTAINED The residents of the Y. W. C. A. were entertained on Wednesday evening from 8 to 10.30 by Mrs. D. O. W. Holmes at her home 1821 McCullah street. A delightful musical program was rendered during the evening by Mr. Holmes, after which refreshments were served. The girls went home with pleasant memories of the hostess and with many wishes for a restful vacation. PROGRESS IN MEDICAL LORE High Mark Attained by Dr. O. D. Porter. HONORED BY HIS FELLOWS. Qualities In the Life of a Former Schoolteacher Which Have Made Him a Power In the Practice of His Profession—Leader In Movements For Racial Advancement. Bowling Green, Ky.—One of the foremost citizens in this city and section of the state is Dr. O. D. Porter, a practicing physician of high standing and known ability. He is a native of this town and received his early education in the public schools. Possessing a right mind, he advanced rapidly, and after finishing the prescribed course of study he taught in the county school. His ability to get the best results from his pupils soon attracted wide attention. In order to better prepare himself for life's work he entered Fisk university, Nashville, Teen, in 1884. By persist- M. B. O. D. PORTER, M. D. ence in his studies he took rank among the best in his class. Haying to provide the money for his expenses single handed. Dr. Porter taught school both in Tennessee and Texas at various times during his college course. He graduated from Fisk university in the class of 1881, with the degree of bachelor of arts. After his graduation at Fisk' Dr. Porter entered the Meharry Medical college at Nashville, Teem, where after three years of hard study he graduated, returned to his home, passed his medical examination and began the practice of his profession. By close application to business, painstaking and courteous to all in his dealings, he has won success and is held in high esteem by the public. Dr. Porter attributes much of his success to Mrs. Porter, who is always on the alert in the home to relieve her husband of such things as would take him from his business or studies. She was a Miss Carrie Bridges of Macon, Miss., before becoming Mrs. Porter. She was educated at Fisk university and is well fitted both by education and experience in public life to preside over the exacting duties of a busy household. The public takes keen interest in Dr. Porter's work. The white physicians have no hesitancy in sitting in consultation with him because they know his worth and ability as a physician, and therefore value very highly his opinion in cases which require rare skill and experience. Dr. Porter is a former president of the National Medical association, having served from 1000 to the annual meeting in 1901. His annual address upon retiring from the presidency of the association was replete with helpful suggestions, many of which have since crystallized into tangible form for the good of the profession. He is one of the founders of the State Medical association of Kentucky, of which he is still a member. He is thoroughly interested in all business, social or benevolent movements for the advancement of the race in this city and vicinity, and never refuses to give encouragement to the struggling young men and women of the race. As busy as Dr. Porter is with matters as above indicated, he devotes time to religious work in his church in an official capacity. Dr. Porter believes in race co-operation along all lines, and his willingness to help his people by serving at the head of many organized bodies for uplift in this city is an evidence of his sincerity. Census Reports on City Population. Nearly one-third of the population of Washington is colored, according to the compilation of the census bureau, recently issued. Philadelphia stands third of cities in its percentage of colored population. The total estimated population of Washington this year is 353,378, of which 101,339 are colored. In Philadelphia it is estimated that the population this year will be 1,657,310, of which 91,652 are reported as colored. In 1910 the number was 85,637. Beaumont, Tex., Host of National Baptist Sunday School Congress. Beaumont, Tex.-Never before in the history of the Sunday school movement has there been more genuine enthusiasm over the work of the Sunday school than was shown here on Wednesday, June 10, when the ninth annual session of the Baptist National Sunday School congress was called to order in the presence of the largest and most representative gathering of denominational workers that ever assembled in any one city to take part in modern Sunday school work. The special trains were met by a regiment of boy cadets in their uniforms, and there was a trained choir under the direction of a special leader and hundreds of citizens in the company. Much attention was directed to the official congress special train, which arrived by way of New Orleans, bringing the chairman, the director, the secretaries and many of the departmental workers. A line of march was formed, and they were escorted, with banners flying and pennants outstretched to the breezes, led by a brass band, to the mammoth amphitheater constructed by the local committee for this special occasion. Two of the unique features of the parade were distinctively new innovations brought into the Sunday school congress, the boy cadets and the Negro Doll clubs. These two made up one division of the parade. The girls were dressed almost alike, and each carried a colored doll in her arms. The boys, with the cadet uniforms, marching in military precision, helped to increase the inspiration. Thruouts of people filled the streets as the procession wound its way from the railroad station to the place of meeting. As soon as the procession arrived the local committee escorted the congress officials to the platform. Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D. chairman, presided, "Hail the Baptist Congress" was sung and after a fervent invocation another song, "On, Metokas and Caledias," was rendered. Rev. It. H. Boyd, D. D., director of the congress, delivered a splendid address on "Back on Texas Soil." Without further preliminaries, not even waiting for the usual welcomes, this school of methods plunged into the work of the session. Three topics, "Sunday School Teacher Training a Profession," "Demand For the Departmental Sunday School," and "The Conversion of the Child, the Slogan of the School," were taken up at the afternoon session. More than a dozen well prepared papers were read on these three subjects. After the adjournment at 5 o'clock demonstrations were given in the paraphernalia and exhibit department. At the evening session Beatmour gave a rousing welcome to all the Sunday school workers. About fifteen welcome addresses on behalf of every organization, denomination and business or profession were delivered. Throughout the sessions of the congress the workers confined themselves to the subjects outlined on the program. Each morning there were a Bible study conference and a special syllabus for the occasion. These conferences, like the other departmental meetings, were under the special supervision of well trained teachers. Some of the features of the gathering were the Metoka and Galaeda demonstration Friday night, June 12, the annual congress concert Saturday night, June 13, and the first annual encomment of the A. F. Cades, with dress and drill parades out at the "tented city," occupying a few acres, in close proximity to the meeting place. The congress closed Monday evening. June 15, after six days of profitable labor in a most righteous cause. MEETING OF PUBLISHERS. Muskogee, Okla., to Entertain Press Association in August. Muskogee, Okla.—Newspaper men from all parts of the United States will gather in the Oil City of the West during the month of August to consider plans for the betterment of the craft. This is not the first meeting of the National Negro Press association to be held west of the Mississippi, but it will be the beginning of a better organization and will, no doubt, create more interest among the newspaper men in this section. Muskogee's preparations continue with clocklike precision. Committees of every description are working out well laid plans that have been outlined for the entertainment of the visiting newspaper men. Since their meeting in Nashville, Tenn., last February, when the executive committee held its midwinter session, all of the hundred or more members of the association have been looking toward Muskogee, and now the entering wedge has been made so that when the official call is sent out from Baltimore the pilgrimage of newspaper men, correspondents, publishers and editors will be turned toward the west. The corresponding secretary's office in Nashville has kept everything moving. The Reciprocal News service that was inaugurated immediately after the midwinter session has proven a wonderful success. Other items looked forward to for accomplishment in August are the final disposition of the standardization of advertising and some recommendations for the inauguration of the plate service, together with the report of the committee appointed as a permanent boosting organization for the association and the report of the committee on theipher code to be used exclusively by newspaper men belonging to the association by which they will be able to transmit messages among themselves. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER AN EXAMPLE OF TRUE AMBITION Early Struggles of Professor William Pickens. Interesting Story of a Yale College Graduate Who Was Born on a Plantation In Anderson County, South Carolina, "Over the River"—Gifted Orator and Finished Scholar. Talladega. Ala.-From obscurity and menger circumstances to a position of prominence and influence is the record of one of the most remarkable men of the race, Professor William Pickens of Talladega college in this town. He is an example of what can be accomplished by a young man through industry, honesty and reliability. Professor Pickens, like most men of the race who have made a place in life, was not born in a palace, but comes from slave parents. His life is an inspiration to the boys of his race. As an orator and entertainer he takes his place in the front rank and his services are very much sought in all parts of the country. Anderson county, South Carolina, near the little town of Pendleton, is the place of Professor Pickens' birth, Jan. 25, 1881. It was in the neighborhood called "over the river" and on a farm at that. It is needless to say that his parents were not educated, but they could read and spell a little in a large print New Testament. Mr. Pickens was about two years old when his parents moved from "over the river" to "Price's place." There they [Picture of a man with a bald head and a suit] WILLIAM PICKENS. lived in a one room cabin, near the great house of the landowner. After a year or two another moving day was inaugurated, and his parents moved from Price's to Clark's place, a more desirable location and nearer Pendleton. It was at this time that William got his first sight into education and became acquainted with the English alphabet, which was learned so readily that his sister took delight in leading him to school, although he was then in the neighborhood of two years under school age. The schoolhouse was, of course, the characteristic school building of that period-built of logs, with one door and one window, the window having no panes and being closed by a board shutter, which swung on leather hinges. Persuasion to study and good department consisted of a well seasoned hickory switch, a cone shaped paper "dune cap" and a stool on which the offender must stand on one foot for an enormous length of time. The Pickenses changed residence oftener than any family in that section of the country. In speaking of their moving William Pickens himself says that his parents must have moved at least twenty times up to the time he reached the age of eighteen years. The next move was to Argentine, Ark. in the winter of 1800. This was a real move cityward and with a view of carrying out what the parents so much desired, and that was educating their children. This prospect so stirred the heart of young William Pickens that he learned to write at home before the school opened in the fall or before he could enter, because there was work to be done and means had to be got, so that all started to school in the fall of 1801. Many were the experiences of the young man between that time and the time of his finding his way to Talladega college, for he had determined that it was possible to make it through college. Although he did not have wealth he had health and muscle, and that with three ten dollar bills. This was the beginning for higher things. His impressions made on the teachers, his making the freshman class and many other things of merit by this young man attracted the attention of all connected with the college, and step by step he was put to the front, sent to the north and east until he found his way into Yale college. Professor Pickens' record at Yale is well known. All will remember how he carried off the prizes, how he won fame and how at this time through that work he is regarded as one of the most finished scholars of the race. He is a worthy example for the young boys of his race.

Try as it may the Baltimore American cannot keep T. R. off the front page. We are wondering whether the local Negro Business League is going to be represented at the National Negro Business League this year when it meets in Muscogee? How about it Mr. Pratt? The motto "Safety First" does not seem to be very much in evidence with ocean going steamers this year. With the Suffregettes after King George, and the revolt in Uister, and anarchists trying to blow up the Czar of Russia, the "head that wears a crown" seems to be doing some worrying these perlous times. Baltimore is not at the foot of the list by any means when it comes to education. "Preacher" Wright has just graduated from Harvard and Andover taking two degrees in the same year. We congratulate "Preacher" and hope he will secure a good congregation to work out on. The Grand Old Party and the Progressives have each had a "getting together," and as usual the "Colored Brother" was conspicuous by his absence. Now the thing to do is for the aforesaid "Colored Brother" to have a "getting together" of himself and then when the other fellows have a desire to have his votes, be able to dictate the terms upon which he will deliver them. A tragedy occure last week before at Curtis Bay, a suburb of Baltimore, and as usual the only arrest made was that of a colored man, who was arrested as a witness and locked up, altho afterward released. The question arises why was the colored man arrested and the man who was supposed to have the most to do with the affair allowed to remain free? Is it any wonder that two-thirds of the inmates of our prisons are colored people when they can be arrested on the slightest provocation, whether guilty or otherwise? Had the man who was supposed to have had the most to do with this woman's disappearance been arrested as principal, and then the colored man arrested as a witness in the case we would have had nothing to say. But this was not the case. Evidently in order to save their faces the Curtis Bay authorities had to arrest someone and consequently the arrest of the colored man. CHANCE FOR THE G. O. P. Perhaps there was never a better opportunity for the redemption of Maryland from Democratic rule than the coming elections, next fall and next spring. The Republican party, with the right kind of leadership, or the Progressive party were it strong enough, could easily turn the trick and come into the possession of the State and city governments. But there is a strong probability the opportunity will be cast aside for the reason that neither the Republican nor the Progressives are sufficiently strong to redeem neither the city nor the State. Would it not be better for all concerned if these two parties could find some common ground to get together and fight the common enemy. There are many things to be considered besides our own personal feelings, and it seems to us now is the time for a strong pull all together and redeem ths boss-ridden state. That there is going to be a bitter fight for the Democratic nomination for Senator, goes without saying. The Democratic party does not want Isaac Lobe Straus for the Senate, Lee's friends do not want John Walter Smith. Straus seems to be the only hope in sight to defeat John Walter and if nominated will be defeated at the polls. Here is the opportunity for either the Progressives or the Republicans. Neither can win alone, then why not unite and in success rather than go down to defeat again in an entirely unnecessary proposition. PAYING THE PRICE Under the caption "Paying the penalty of grandfather clause" the Evening News of this city on Monday last contained an enlightening editorial worthy of careful reading by every man who is interested in the South. It was doubtless inspired by the forthcoming opinion of the Supreme Court on the Annapolis case, and the fear that the court may render a decision stricking down these infamous attempts to strip the Negro of all political rights in the Southern States. Whether this fear will be justified or not, one or two lessons are clearly taught (1) it is impossible for prejudiced white men to enact any class legislation of the sort here described without, having it at some time or other interfere with the enjoyment of their own rights and privileges; (2) that the proper forum for the adjustment of differences brought about by such legislation is the court. Courts are human institutions and as such they are affected by human limitations, of all sorts; they may be controlled and often are controlled, by evil influences, but in the final analysis right will prevail and justice triumph. We have for years hoped in vain almost for some pronouncement from a court of competent jurisdiction declaring invalid the "grand father clause" in the revised Constitutions of the Southern States, and it may be that years yet will intervene before such a hope will be realized, but of this we are content—the framers of these palpable wrongs never dreamed that white men would have to endure the train of evils following in the wake of their crafty legislation, and that other white men, seeing and enduring these wrongs for themselves, will be forced for self protection to strike them from the laws of their commonwealths. It looks strangely like a case of the biter getting bitten.

Cromwell, secretary of the American Negro Academy, published by the Academy, Washington, D.C., 1914. Just two months ago "Some Masterpieces of Negro Eloquence," by Alice Dunbar, was given to the public. Those who have read these masterpieces of oratory will appreciate the background that is afforded by the "Negro in American History" recently published. These two books are both complementary and supplementary; complementary in the sense that Mr. Cromwell's history treats of the lives of representative Negroes, past and present, and of the events that made eloquence necessary; they are supplementary from the fact that "the Negro in American History" is not limited to the consideration of orators alone, but includes artists, educators, and men of affairs as well. These two volumes are notable in that they represent pioneer efforts to collect and present interesting information of Negro history. Lest it be interpreted as a history of the Negro, Mr. Cromwell has added the sub-title "Men and Women Eminent in the Evolution of the American of African Descent." Briefly almost too briefly the points of contact of the Negro and American civilization, from the discovery and exploration to the present, is summarized as the basis for the eighteen life sketches that follow. These give the book its real worth. Phillis Wheatley, Sojourner Truth, Benjamin Banneker and Henry Highland Garnet, of the early part of the nineteenth century, Frederick Douglass, Blanche K. Bruce, Alexander Crummell, and later still Paul Laurence Dunbar, Edward Wilmot Blyden, and Booker T. Washington, of the last half of the century, stand forth more clearly as men and women, as actors in a racial drama thru Mr. Crommell's efforts. The following is typical and indicates, moreover, the shrewd common sense and the power of an unlettered Negro Woman. Sojourner Truth addressed a Women's Rights Convention held in Akron, Ohio, in 1857, and in the course of her remarks found opportunity to answer a male opponent, who had ridiculed the helplessness and general uselessness of woman: "Dat man over dar say dat a woman needs to be helped into carriages and lifted over ditches, and to have the best places everywhere. Nobody ever helped me into carriages or over mud puddles or gives me any best place, and ain't I a woman? Look at me. Lock at my arms" (and she bared her right arm to the shoulder, showing her tremendous muscular power). "I have plowed and planted and gathered into barns, and no one could head me off, and ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as any man (when I get it) and bear the lash as well, and ain't I a woman? Den dey talk about dising in de head-what is it dey calls it?" (Intellect, whispered someone near.) "Dat's it, honey. What's dat got to do with woman's rights? If my cup would hold but a pint and yourn hold a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full. Don't dat little man in black dar say woman can't have as many rights as men cause Christ wasn't a woman. Whar did your Christ come from?" Raising her voice still louder she repeated:) "Whar did your Christ come from? From God and a woman. Man had nothing to do with him." It is recognizedly true that the youth of our schools learn little of what is "meritorious and inspiring" of their own race; it is also true that our common school histories do not provide Negro characters that are worthy of emulation. This task is ours, and there is no doubt but that "The Negro in American History" is a step in the right direction. SCHOOL BOARD TO RUN SUMMER SCHOOLS The School Board will run three schools for colored pupils during the summer. These schools are primarily for those pupils who have been retarded for some reason or other, but who may make up their deficiencies before fall. Classes will begin at the Colored High School Monday. Instruction in the primary and grammer school branches will be given at the Division street and the East street schools. Messrs, William H. Lee and H. Grafton will be the respective principals of these two schools. Instruction will begin on July 6. PROMINENT ODD FELLOW BURIED WITH HONORS With all the honors due an Odd Fellow, Richard Brooks, Sr., was buried in Mt. Auburn Cemetery Sunday. Funeral services were held at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church. Revs. M. M. Naylor, Alfred Young, N. M. Carroll, Hugh Watson and Frank Tasker officiated. The services were largely attended, a good number of members of various departments being in attendance. Between two rows of Odd Fellows and other friends, the remains were carried from the church to Lafavette avenue and Division street, where they were placed in the hearse. Odd Fellows then marched ahead of the funeral cortege to Lafayette and Fremont avenues. The floral offerings were numerous and handsome. Mr. Brooks died at his home, 525 Dolphin street, after a two-month illness Thursday evening of last week. He was born in Easton, Md., 61 years ago. He had been a member of Sharp Street Church for a number of years and had filled the positions of trustee and steward there. He was an active Odd Fellow and had filled the position of District grand master. Just a few months ago he was elected a delegate to the session of the Biennial Movable Committee, which will be held in Boston in September. For the past nine years he had been janitor of the old Colored Polytechnic Institute at Fremont and Lemmon streets. His wife, Mrs. Martha Brooks, and one son, Richard, Jr., survive.

She will render special music at St. Paul A. M. E. Church Sunday evening.

TEACHERS AWARDED DIPLOMAS One of the most beautifully arranged graduation exercises of teacher training work was demonstrated at the Metropolitan M. E. Church last Sunday evening at the annual Children's Day service of said church when endowed with happy countenances 15 graduates of the Teacher Training class 1914 of said church were presented by Miss Mary J. Knight the director. Rev. B. W. Kindle, General Secretary of the Maryland State Sunday School Association, who in a most appropriate manner addressed them. He advised them to continue on cultivating the noble traits and to teach in the Sunday school with pleasure and as an honor. He particularly emphasized that teacher training not only helps the Sunday school at large but helps the pastor. After congratulating them he pleaded with them to remain loyal to God and to the teachings they had received. He then conferred the diplomas. A reception followed the exercises tendered the graduates by Mrs. Rosa Dent, 1434 Presstman street. The graduates included: Maggie Lee Gordy, Thomas Henry Gordy, Robert Louis Henson, Trinity A. M. E.

Ada Virgie Taylor, Annie Elizabeth Woodland, Lillian Ann Waters, Susie Dobson Wright. FEDERATED CHARITIES AND WHAT IT IS DOING Of the 5303 families under the care of the Federated Charities during the last year, it develops as a result of inquiry that 731 families were colored. This is nearly one-seventh of the total. The Federated Charities gives credit to the colored population for having less proportionate to the whole population than its natural share of people dependent upon this private charity. Close cooperation has always obtained on the part of the Federated Charities and the colored people. One entire District Board of the Society is made up exclusively of colored people with Dr. I. S. Hawkins as chairman. During the last season the assembly room of the Western District office of the Federated Charities 1220 McCulloh street was placed at the disposal of a large group of colored men and women who under the direction of Mrs. Eugene R. Smith had secured a course of lectures by local experts engaged in all kinds of social and charitable work affecting the colored community. This same group of interested people is planning another course of study for the coming winter at some central point. The original founder of this group was Benjamin H. Locke and he was actively seconded by the interested members and by the Social Service Corporation. GROCERY SHOWER FOR THE FRESH AIR FARM Let everybody help.

We heard some rumors sometime ago of an athletic meet to be staged in this city sometime this fall. Up to the present writing we have heard nothing further. If we're going to have it better be gettin' at it. No time to waste. The sporting editor was surprised to receive a visit from Harry L. Gilbert, a student and athlete of Chenney Institute. Mr. Gilbert was an entrant in the recent 13 mile Marathon race held by the New York Evening Mail, in which 1,500 runners entered. He finished the course 12th, and received a handsome gold medal offered to those who finished within the first fifteen. Gilbert was one of the only two colored boys to finish up within the prizes; another colored lad of the Smart Set A. C. of New York being 5th. The runner from the Smart Set led the race to within 10 blocks of the finish but was outdistanced by the winner of the last Olympic Marathon Race, Hans Kohlamein, who also won the Mail race. Mr. Gilbert said that it was his intention to enter the race just held by the Afro-American Ledger but that he was kept from doing so by unpreventable circumstances — For which we are very glad. A letter from Mr. Edward F. Kirkness of 159 E. 23rd street inform us of that distinguished athlete's willingness to help in any way he can to make the proposed athletic meet to be held here, a success. Mr. Kirkness feels that the meet can be made to pay well, and thinks it would be a great thing for Baltimore. Many thanks Mr. Kirkness, we are sure that your service will be greatly needed and appreciated. The Baltimore Black Sox appeared in their new uniforms for the first time last Thursday when they played the Baltimore Combination All-Stars, at Union League Park. the Sox will play the winner of the game between the All-Stars and the Sparrows Point Blues, to be played shortly at Union League Park. The Sox have also been booked to play the strong Paret Memorial Baseball Club of Locust Point, at Jack Dunn's Back River Park on the fourth of July. Two games. Of all the French and English boxing experts, Georges Carpentier is the only one whom both parties can agree upon, to referee the coming fight between Johnson and Moran on the 21st of this month in Paris. Speaking of the coming championship fight we are just reminded that about this time three or four years ago when Jack Johnson had been matched to fight Jim Jefferies for the championship of the world, the papers were full of news of the coming fight. Every time either of the contestants knocked his trainer down the papers would make a column story of it. Now we seldom see a line. Is it because Johnson is champion, or is it that anything about him would make interesting reading. 'Sfunny what a white man's (prejudice will make him do. The race that was to be held between two swimmers of New York who were to jump from Brown's steamer Starlight at the Rocks and swim to the grove did not mature owing to the failure of one of the participants to show up. The other however gave some very interesting exhibitions of skill in swimming, and showed that he was capable of making great speed in the water. Now that President Gilmore has lifted the suspension on the Terrapin players, and incidentally fired Umpire Bush, may the said Diamond Backs return to their original position at the top of the ladder. Joe Jeanette made short work of Silas Green an unknown heavyweight in the third round of their bout at the Broadway Sporting Club, New York, Tuesday night. Green was outclassed from the start. Jeanette was to have met Jim Johnson, but the latter failed to appear and Green was substituted.

Have Done Along Tills Line. FEARLESS IN THEIR EFFORTS Story of Many Thrilling Incidents In Which True Manhood Asserted Itself Without Regard to Personal Danger at the Psychological Moment—Liberal Rewards In Money and Medals. Among the colored persons who have received prizes from the Andrew Carnegie hero fund for acts of bravery in preventing, death or serious injury to individuals are the following named men. The character of the service performed is also given; John G. Walker, aged twenty-nine, drayman, rescued William G. Oebar, forty-four, quartermaster general, state militia of Georgia; Legate H. Oebar, aged thirty-four, and Julin H. Oebar, aged four months; E. W. Butler, aged fifty-five, mayor and lawyer, and Green Thomas, aged fifty-six, laborer, from a runaway at Madison, Ga. Walker tried to grab the rein of one of a team of spirited horses drawing a survey continuing Butler, Thomas and the Oebars, but, falling, he ran alongside the horses a few steps and then grabbed the rein. It slipped through his hands to the loop, and at that moment Walker was struck by a wheel and knocked to the ground. The wheel passed over his legs below the knees and, still clinging to the rein, he was dragged along the street for about fifteen feet, when, as a result of his pulling back, the horses ran into an embankment and came to a stop. Walker was disabled nine days by his injuries. None of the occupants of the survey was hurt. Award, bronze medal and $500 toward purchase of a home. Charles A. Smith, aged thirty-one, attempted to save Theodore Dilhoff, aged forty-three, laborer, from suffocation, Cincinnati, O. Disregarding warnings to take precautions for his own safety, Smith descended a ladder in a twelve-foot manhole of a sewer where Dilhoff lay unconscious from carbonic acid gas and methane. When about two feet above Dilhoff, and as he was reaching toward him, Smith fell unconscious across Dilhoff's booby. He was rescued about five minutes later and resuscitated. Dilhoff was dead when taken out. Award, bronze medal and $1,000 toward purchase of a home. Ellert Gray, aged sixteen, schoolboy, saved A. Calvin Stepp, aged two, from drowning, Canton, Tex. Feb. 5, 1912. Calvin fell feet first into a well thirteen inches in diameter and sixty feet deep, which contained eighteen inches of water, and unsuccessful efforts were made to rescue him with a hook. An uncle of the child went to a town three miles distant and there met Gray, to whom he told the circumstances. Making no mention of a reward, he asked Gray if he would enter the well, and Gray said he would. When Gray reached the well a rope was tied under his arms, and he was lowered into it. He put his shoulders forward in order to make his body smaller and hold his hands down in front of him. He grasped Calvin and was hoisted to a point near the surface when Calvin's clothes gave way, and he again dropped to the bottom. Gray was hoisted to the surface. He was crying, being somewhat frightened. The skin had been rubbed off his arms in several places, and his face was scratched and bleeding. When asked he agreed to descend head first with a rope around his ankles, although he heard a man say that he (Gray) would be dead before he reached the bottom. Gray was lowered into the well, head first, carrying a rope, and when he reached Calvin he tied the rope around him, and both were hoisted. Neither suffered any ill effects from the experience. Awarded medal and $2,000 for educational purposes as needed. Noldon Townselk, aged sixteen, porter, saved Emma E. Scale, aged four, from being run over by an auto truck, Waco, Tex., Feb. 1, 1912. As Townselk and Emma were crossing a street the child darted ahead of Townselk in front of an auto truck which was approaching at a speed of twelve miles an hour. Townselk spring forward and landed between the child and the auto truck. He grasped Emma's shoulders and pushed her out of the path of the machine just as it struck him. He was knocked to the pavement, and one wheel ran over his leg. Emma was not injured, but Townselk suffered a broken rib and was otherwise injured, being disabled two months. Awarded bronze medal and $2,000 for educational purposes as needed. Nathan Record, aged thirty-one farmer, helped a man named Law to save Lather F. Anna and Nettie L. McClanahan and Dorris A. Stafford from drowning. Lotot, Tex., May 24, 1908.

Award, bronze medal and $1,000 toward purchase of a farm. Arthur Lockett, aged thirty-three fireman, saved Claude H. Potter, aged three, from being run over by a train Jefferson, Ga., May 9, 1912. Lockett was in the cab of a locomotive running twenty-five miles an hour, and his attention was attracted by a stream from the engineer. He sa Claude on the track, 150 feet ahead of the locomotive, and although the locomotive was swaying under an emergency application of the brakes, he ran along the running board, jumped to the steam chest, thence to the bumper timber, and when the pilot was less than ten feet from Claude jumped to the track in front of the locomotive, which was then running eight or nine miles an hour. He fell forward as he struck the ground and grabbed Claude as he fell. With two strong, quick jerks he threw himself and the child off the track to safety. The locomotive was stopped when the pilot was thirty-five feet beyond the point of rescue. Award, silver medal and $1,000 for a worthy purpose, as needed. Beecher Roberts, aged seventeen, farm hand, helped two other men to rescue Thomas Ashercraft from a cave-in in a well, Tyler, Tex., April 16, 1912. Roberts reached the well after Wills and Gregory had been working in it for some time, and when he was asked to do so immediately had himself lowered. He scraped some sand from around Ashercraft's leg and then tied the rope to Ashercraft. Another rope was lowered to Roberts and both men were drawn out. Award, bronze medal and $500 for a worthy purpose, as needed. Mack Stallworth, aged thirty-three, oil tank cleaner, died saving Squire Bradford, colored, aged twenty-eight, oil tank cleaner, from suffocation. Port Arthur, Tex., June 25, 1910. Bradford was overcome in a tank car by gas which had formed in it. Stallworth entered the car through an opening fifteen inches in diameter and, grasping Bradford, lifted him up so that two men on the outside of the car could reach him. Bradford was got out, but Stallworth was overcome by the gas and was suffocated before he could be rescued. Bradford revived. Award, bronze medal and $30 a month for support of widow during her life or until she remarries, with $5 a month additional for her son until he reaches the age of sixteen. James Pruitt, used forty-four, farmer, saved Fritz F. Mulher and attempted to save William Mulher from suffocation. This took place at Wallahla, S. C., May 20, 1811.

When Rioble failed to grasp the rope that was let down to him Pruitt was lowered into the well, but when part way down called to be drawn up. Pruitt was hoisted and was weak and unable to work for two weeks. Awarded silver medal and $500 toward purchase of a farm. Nathan Duican, aged forty-one, farmer and well digger, rescued William C. Anderson, aged fifty-two, well digger, from a cave in a well, West Point, Tex. Aug. 5, 1907. Anderson was working in a well three feet in diameter forty feet below the surface when sand slid from the sides and buried him to his shoulders. For a distance of twenty feet above his head there was an unsupported wall of sand, from which other slides seemed imminent. Of the twelve or more men who gathered all were afraid to go to the aid of Anderson. Duican was summoned and, fastening a rope to himself, was lowered into the well. He dug the sand from about Anderson until he was free to the waist when another slide occurred, which covered Anderson to a depth of ten inches. Dumneum occupied being buried by jumping up and grasping a rope dangling over his head, the sand coming only to his knees. Dumneum was frightened, but after two hours' work dug Anderson free, and he was hoisted out. Dumneum was then drawn up. After the two had reached the surface Anderson to cast the wall gave the curb at the top a poke with a stick, and the curb and a large mass of sand fell into the well, filling it to a depth of over twenty feet. Awarded gold medal and $2,000 toward purchase of a farm. Strong Fight Against Race Prejudice The fight against race prejudice by fair mended individuals, organizations and by some government officials continues. At Albany, N. Y., on June 9 Attorney General Carmody made it known that steps would be taken through the district attorney's office to enforce the law forbidding discrimination on account of race, color or creed by proprietors of hotels, restaurants and others who maintain summer resorts. The law forbids the placing of advertisements or the publication of notices by the keepers of such places for public accommodation, to the effect that patronage will be refused any one on account of race, color or creed.

The world's congress of the Salvation Army began its session in London on Thursday, June 11. The American delegation to the congress includes a brigade of colored men and women who are members of the organization. This group of delegates represent twelve states in the Union. Adjutant Roberts of Boston is the leader of the work among Afro-Americans. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER SUNDAY SCHOOL THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES Text of the Lesson, Mark x, 17-31 Memory Verses, 25-27—Golden Text Luke xvi, 13—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Our lessons for many weeks have been found only in Luke's gospel, but now we have one recorded with nearly equal fullness in Matthew, Mark and Luke. Why the committee should turn to Mark instead of Luke I cannot tell, but we will look at the harmony of the three records. The preceding passage concerning the little children is also found in these three gospels, but a little more fully in Mark, for he tells us that Jesus was much displeased with His disciples and also that He took the children up in His arms and blessed them (Mark x, 14, 16). Both Matthew and Mark say that He put His hands upon them. We shall not understand the lesson of today concerning the rich young ruler unless we get first that main thought concerning the children. If the number of times that an event is recorded gives an idea of its importance these two items concerning the children and the young man must be of special importance and those recorded in each of the four gospels of still greater importance. The other records of this lesson are in Matt. xix, 16:30: Luke xviii, 18:30. Mark alone tells us that Jesus had gone forth into the way and that the young man came running and kneeded to Him. As in the case of Zaccheus, he was certainly in earnest and had no thought of his dignity as a rich man, for he ran and kneeded on the road. The next item is nearly the same in each record. "Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" as is also our Lord's reply: "Why callest thou Me good? There is none good bourne; that is God." If to this young man Jesus was God, then he should be wiling to submit fully to Him. If He was not God He was not good and should not be so addressed. All who now profess to receive Jesus Christ as a good teacher, but will not believe that He is truly God, should side with the Pharisees and utterly reject Him for making Himself equal with God John v. 18: x. 23. The young man's question reminds us of another under different circumstances "What shall we do that we might work the words of God" John vi. 280 Our Lord brought the young man face to face with the commandments with the desire to convince him of sin, that He might bestow upon him freely the eternal life which he seemed to be seeking so eagerly, but he did not see himself as a sinner and thought that he had kept all the commandments from his youth up The heart of our Lord went out greatly to him, and Mark says that "Jesus, beholding him, loved him" verse 214, because He loved him He sought still further to convince him of sin, and by asking him to sell all he had and give to the poor he would show him that instead of keeping all the commandments he was continually breaking the first one by thinking more of his earthly possessions than of God, who gave them to him, and that while he seemed to want life eternal he really wanted his present possessions more than treasure in heaven and his present life in a mental body was more to him than the life beyond. Only in Mark do we find that Jesus said to him, "Take up the cross." The cross means dying to self and wealth and all that comes between us and God, and he was not ready for it. It was a hard proposition, but the Lord Jesus knew his man, for He knew all men, and it was the only way to deal frankly with this man. Not many congregations or ministers or sessions or committees would deal in this way with a rich, moral young man today. Many would be only too glad to receive him and be careful not to ask him too many questions for fear of offending him. Some would be glad to take him in for the sake of his wealth and influence and ask him no questions. But our Lord saw the value of his soul rather than all else and never sought wealth or favor from any one. He came to give, not to receive, and the only way to obtain eternal life is to come empty, helpless, believing, and receive the Lord Jesus, in whom alone is life, as the free gift of God to every truly seeking soul (John i. 12; li. 16; iv. 10; v. 24; vi. 47; Rom iii. 24; vi. 23; J John ix. 11, 12). It is impossible to obtain it by works or wealth (Rom iv. 5; Ps. xlix. 6, 7). It is next to impossible for a self righteous or wealthy person to obtain eternal life, for it is so difficult for such to see or realize the need or emptiness in reference to things eternal. Yet Zaccheous was a rich man, and Saul of Tarsus was a self righteous man, and both became truly saved. "With God all things are possible." Peter now comes to the front by saying: "Rehob, we have forsaken all and followed Thee. What shall we have therefor?" Matthew, Mark and Luke each record the reply concerning the hundredfold now and in the world to come life. In Mark it reads, "for my sake and the gospel," but in Luke "for the kingdom of God's sake." The gospel is the way to the kingdom, so it is virtually the same. Mark also adds "with persecutions," and if we are wholly for God in this present time we will find it true that "all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution" (H Tim, iii. 12). In Matthew only do we find mention of the twelve thrones for the twelve apostles, but Luke records the same on a later occasion (Tim, iii. 30). MONDAY.
